Public Residential Charging of Electric Vehicles: an exploration of UK user preferences
Authors: Budnitz Hannah , Meelen Toon , Schwanen Tim
Published: February 2022

In the global transition from fossil-fuel to electric vehicles (EV), drivers without a driveway or attached garage at home are most likely to be dependent upon public charging options if they adopt an EV. To better understand how such drivers can be supported to switch to EVs, this study assesses how public charging might best mimic key attributes of private residential EV charging by investigating the preferences of a sample of 2,001 car drivers from households in the UK without a driveway or attached garage. A stated choice experiment offered on-street or car-park options for overnight, public residential charging (PRC) with seven attributes – charging fee, space guarantee, duration of stay, walk time, security measures, walk experience, and payment frequency. Logit and latent class modelling are used to identify the relative importance of those attributes, and the manner in which their valuation varies according to study participants’ experiential legacy. This legacy is to some extent informed by their social identity; residential environment; and parking conditions, perceptions and intentions. Walk experience is shown to be the most highly valued non-monetary attribute overall, not least because many women consider this a particularly important attribute of PRC options. Meanwhile, parking-related variables, such as whether participants currently park on-street or pay to park, influences both price-sensitivity, willingness to walk to PRC and the valuation of a space guarantee. We conclude that diverse public residential charging options should be designed to offer certainty, reliability and affordability in safe, attractive locations near households without parking on their private property.
The Impact of Telegram on Syntactic Complexity of the Saudi Female EFL Undergraduates’ Argumentative, Classification, and Reaction Essays
Authors: AlMohaya Lamyaa Falah
Published: February 2022

The aim of this exploratory experimental quantitative is to investigate the impact of the learning environment and text types on the syntactic complexity of female Saudi students majoring in English language. Specifically, the study seeks to explore how and when the syntactic complexity of these students increases/decreases as a whole and across the fourteen measures of syntactic complexity (MLS, MLT.MLC.C/S, VP/T, C/T, DC/C, DC/T, T/S, CT/T, CP/T, CP/C, CN/T, CN/C) in two learning contexts: traditional learning context (TLC) and blended learning context (BLT) across three writing tasks (argumentative, classification ,and reaction). It purports, also, to find out when and which learning context leads to the most/least increase/decrease in the syntactic complexity (as a whole and across specific measures) of Saudi undergraduate in the three writing tasks. To answer such questions, 48 female Saudi EFL undergraduate students were recruited from the pool of level six students. The participants were randomly divided into the control and experimental groups. The control group consisted of 28 students; while the experimental group was comprised of 20 students. The 288 students’ writing productions were analyzed according to the fourteen measures of syntactic complex by using a paired t-test and an independent t test. For the first question, the results of this study show that there was no increase/decrease in syntactic complexity, either as a whole or partially across individual measures, for the control group for the three writing tasks (argumentation, classification, and reaction). This would suggest that traditional learning method does not reach to level to be significant to the participants in the control group. For the second research question, the t-tests showed that the syntactic complexity of the participants in the experimental group increased as a whole in both the classification and reaction essays. An increase in complexity was shown across the following measures for the classification essay: MLS, MLT, MLC, CN/T/VP/T, and CN/C. For the reaction essay, an increase in complexity was shown across MLS, MLT, MLC, and CN/T measures. Although the syntactic complexity of these participants did not increase/decrease as a whole for the argumentation essay, the CN/T measure did show some increase. Finally, the comparison between the results of the two groups revealed that, although the experimental group in this study showed more improvement in syntactic complexity than the control group, the degree of difference between the two groups was too small to draw any definite conclusion about the relative effectiveness of the two methods. This may be due to the comparatively short duration of the study: ten weeks. The findings of this research have significant implications for academic research and for Saudi EFL teachers at the university level.
Future Problems with Misclassifying Unwritten Languages
Authors: Dhami Amir
Published: February 2022

In light of classification variation, in which both Glottolog and Ethnologue have separately classified the Bazigar language incorrectly, the lack of a uniform classification system for linguistic analysis creates and compounds the problem of misclassification of language. By avoiding an open-source classification methodology, language classification has effectively become privatized and as a result, rests in the hands of linguistic analysts without worldwide supervision. Such an issue has the potential to lead to the eventual loss of languages that analysts may be unfamiliar with, especially for unwritten languages. Without a global representation of the classification, and thus the misclassification of languages, there comes the threat of declining cultural diversity and a threat to the loss of entire cultures to history.
A cross-national study of fear appeal messages in YouTube trending videos about COVID-19
Authors: Ng Yee Man Margaret
Published: February 2022

The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak has underlined the need for investigating the prevalence and nature of COVID-19 communication on social media. Applying the Extended Parallel Process Model, this study analyzed the use of fear appeals in 2,152 YouTube trending videos across six countries from January to May 2020. Findings revealed that COVID-19-themed videos gained early attention in Taiwan but encountered a prolonged delay in the US and Brazil. Specifically, COVID-19 videos featured the least in Brazil’s trending list, with most of those spotlighted videos being from the Entertainment category. Results from automated content analysis further suggested that videos’ threat levels exceeded efficacy beliefs. The imbalance of threat-efficacy messages was most significant in some of the hard-hit countries, such as Brazil and Russia, during the early stage of the pandemic.
Better Late than Never: Effects of Late ACA Medicaid Expansions for Parents on Family Health-Related Financial Well-being
Authors: Lombardi Caitlin , Bullinger Lindsey Rose , Gopalan Maithreyi
Published: February 2022

Context: Public health insurance eligibility for low-income adults has improved economic well-being. But whether parental public health insurance eligibility has spillover effects on children’s health insurance coverage and family health-related financial well-being is less understood. Methods: We use the 2016-2020 National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH) to estimate the effects of Medicaid expansions through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for parents on child health insurance coverage, parents’ employment decisions, and family health-related financial well-being. We compare children in low-income families in states that expanded Medicaid for parents after 2015 to states that never expanded in a difference-in-differences framework. Findings: We find that the expansions increased children’s public health insurance coverage by 5.5 percentage points and reduced private coverage by 5 percentage points. We additionally find that parents were less likely to avoid changing jobs for health insurance reasons and children’s medical expenses were less likely to exceed $1,000. We find no evidence that the expansions affected children’s dual coverage and uninsurance. Estimates are robust to falsification and sensitivity analyses. Conclusions: These results demonstrate the benefits of public health insurance expansions for families. They suggest that benefits on children’s medical expenses are concentrated in the families with the greatest financial need.
Opinion Polarization of Immigration and EU Attitudes between Social Classes – The Limiting Role of Working Class Dissensus
Authors: Dochow-Sondershaus Stephan , Teney Céline
Published: February 2022

This study examines polarization in political opinions toward immigration and the European Union between occupational classes, i.e. structural polarization. We maintain that two conditions must hold to indicate structural opinion polarization: high between-class divergence and high within-class consensus. Our main contribution is to study these two conditions systematically for a wide variety of immigration and EU-related topics. Using data from four high-quality German surveys spanning three decades, we document three main findings. First, we find substantial between-class divergence: respondents in typical working class occupations express substantially more unfavorable opinions about immigration and the EU than the upper classes across the majority of survey indicators. Second, however, we also observe considerable opinion heterogeneity within the working class. This lack of within-class consensus limits the potential of mobilizing the working class as a group on the basis of anti-immigration and anti-EU sentiments. Third, while we do not document durable increases in structural opinion polarization over time across most of our opinion indicators, we do draw attention to opinions to individual topics that stand out as being most polarized relative to other issues. Overall, our results suggest limited opinion polarization between occupational classes on immigration and EU issues in Germany.

Published: February 2022

Technological advances embedded within algorithmic decision systems are being deployed every day. Some of these investments are unquestionably worthwhile, while some others prioritize commercialization of technology ahead of societal impact. The article uses a real-world case from the healthcare sector to demonstrate the design and governance shortfalls of an algorithmic tool through its lifecycle. The healthcare sector sits on a mine of data, making it one of the most lucrative fields for big data–based analytics. However, the remunerative healthcare sector is particularly sensitive to the quality of data and algorithmic design decisions, making it paramount for all stakeholders to safely and ethically develop, deploy and implement the algorithmic tools. Otherwise, these systems can have detrimental effects on the life, well-being, and safety of patients. The authors provide guidance on responsible and sustainable deployment practices applicable across industries. The systematic dissection of this case can be applied to different systems across different domains like employment, credit scoring, housing, education, criminal justice, and many others. Every business automating and streamlining processes and core functions through digital transformation needs to implement new accountability and governance mechanisms and invest in the inevitable culture change necessary.
The Implementation of E-Learning to Support Learning and Teaching Foreign Language: A Case Study in Ukrainian Higher Education
Authors: Tymoshchuk Nataliia
Published: February 2022

The research paper examines current tendencies in implementing e-learning as an integral part of the educational process, particularly in foreign language learning in higher education. The scholar attempts to answer the following question: How can e-learning contribute to effective foreign language learning? We have identified how e-learning is applied, the different existing e-learning strategies students prefer to learn with, and the extent to which learners are satisfied with the support offered by e-learning to assist the process of foreign language learning. The study is significant because understanding the learners’ preferences and support of these up-dated methods would help to find effective teaching practices within e-learning, fostering student-centered approaches. The contribution of this research is to estimate the new experiences of university students due to e-learning implementation. We used a quantitative method to collect research data by online tools (Google forms). It was achieved due to analyzing responses to the survey-based questionnaire of 35 learners of Vinnytsia Institute of Trade and Economics of Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics, Ukraine. Within our research, we have found out that students usually use e-learning as it helps them to develop lots of soft skills besides the four basic language skills. It has also been proved that students are delighted with the e-learning application. We concluded that e-learning is an effective and innovative educational technology that can improve both the teaching and learning process in educational institutions.

Published: February 2022

Studies on rural livelihood, agriculture patterns from different parts of Nepal have mentioned the introduction of new crops from different pocket areas of the country primarily resulted due to climate change and market development. However, thesestudies have lacked scholarship on how the changes occur in rural areas and how rural households have adopted the changes are least focused. Based on the field surveys using questionnaires, interviews, FGD, analysis of climate data, and map data, thispaper aims to fulfill the aforementioned gap based on the study from three elevation zones. It shows a wider adoption of different new crops and vegetables which are varied by elevation zones and by the cultural groups living there. The detailed analysis ofvarious events and underlying processes concludes that out-migration and off-farm employment, infrastructure development and increasing connectivity, climate change, access to market, and changing food habits are the major drivers of the changes. Thesedrivers began to play their roles at different times, and different scales in different zones, and finally their complex interplay resulted changes in the rural agricultural landscape.

Construction of a generalized hardening curve for isotropic plastic metal materials
Authors: Kozbur H. V. , Shkodzinsky О. К. , Kozbur І. R.
Published: February 2022

One of the main ways to increase reliability and at the same time reduce the materials consumption of pipes under pressure, used in the oil and gas transportation system, is to improve theoretical and computational meth-ods to predict critical loads in their walls. These studies are based on the problem of accuracy and reliability of calculations at the stage of determination of mechanical characteristics of structural materials. Prediction of ul-timate stresses and strains in the material is performed by approximation of experimental data using deformation curves or yield strenghth. The purpose of the work is to propose a universal way to obtain a generalized curve for better consistence with the experimental data for each specific material. The paper describes a method used to develop a one-parameter model of a generalized deformation curve for plastic metal materials. To obtain the parameter p value as a constant of the material, it is necessary to have the results of several simple biaxial tension experiments with various combinations of the principal stress ratios. For the most accurate calculation of constant material p, it is required to minimize the effect of errors at preparation, testing and result processing stages. The model verifi-cation for other materials and selection of additional quality indicators will allow satisfactory accuracy to describe the generalized deformation curve and predict the stress-strain state of the material. In combination with the methods for structural geometry, the obtained generalized curve can be used to predict the real stress values in pipe walls under pressure.

Authors: Adedoyin Haminat Abisola , Ajani Funmilola
Published: February 2022

Protected areas have been recognized as one of the most viable tools for conserving the environment which serves as “sanctuary” for threatened species, natural buffers against climate change and other vital ecosystem services. This research is aimed at assessing management effectiveness and also tourist satisfaction in private nature reserves within urban area of Lagos State, Nigeria. Rapid Assessment and Prioritization of Protected Area Management (RAPPAM) methodology was adapted and administered to managers working at LCC and LUFASI nature reserves. Two hundred and three (203) respondents (tourists) were selected for both LCC (113) and LUFASI (90). Tourists were satisfied with the experience they had from their tour. Legal security, staffing, Communication & Information, Infrastructure, finances, Research monitoring & evaluation and outputs were significant (p ≤0.05) indicators between the context in the two reserves. Control of pressures and threat in the two-nature reserve are adequately carried out. However, threat recorded as a result of negative impact of tourist activities such as camping, motorized vehicle use and other types of recreational activities can be managed through development of tourist policy and constant monitoring especially during peak periods of the year which is as a result of high influx of tourists. Site design and planning of the reserves is consistent with the objectives of the reserve, which optimizes conservation of biodiversity. A significant difference between management effectiveness of LCC and LUFASI was obtained (t= 2.79 p= 0.01). We therefore recommend that more private organizations and individuals should consider investing in establishment of nature reserves.

Authors: Voyakina E.Yu.
Published: February 2022

The paper reports the characteristics of primary production and destruction processes in small lakes of the Valaam archipelago. The study was carried out on 11 small lakes where the natural regime of functioning is preserved. Studied lakes have different origins, morphometric and hydrochemical parameters. Investigated lakes were characterized by high concentrations of nutrients, especially in the bottom layers. Structure of phytoplankton community differed between lakes. In total, 306 species of phytoplankton had been found in the lakes of the Valaam archipelago. The highest species richness was registered for green algae, diatoms, euglenids and cyanoprokaryota. The lakes of the Valaam archipelago differed in species composition, ratio of taxonomic groups, phytoplankton abundance and biomass. Abundance of phytoplankton and biomass varied from 0.1 to 676.6 million cells/l and from 0.1 to 105.2 mg/ l, accordingly. A wide range of photosynthetic rate (from 0.0 to 4.3 mgO2/ l day and destruction (from 0.0 to 4.2 mgO2/l day) had been shown for all studied lakes. High values of the maximum primary production (Amax) were typical for Igumenskoe, Leschevoe, Krestovoe and Vitalevskoe Lakes, low values were recorded in lakes Simnyahovskoe, Antonievskoe and Nikonovskoe. Mean values Amax (1.14 ± 0.08 mgO2/l day) and maximum destruction Rmax (1.19 ± 0.07 mgO2/l day) were high in all the lakes. In most cases (90%), the maximum photosynthesis rate was registered in the water layer from a surface down to a lower border of the Secchi depth. Data on chlorophyll α content in small lakes of the Valaam archipelago are provided for the first time. It was shown that most of the lakes are mesotrophic with signs of eutrophia (TSI 50–68).

Published: February 2022

Weather and climate information and forecasts of extreme climatic conditions provided by National Meteorological and Hydrological Services are becoming increasingly important for ecotourism. Climate change poses an increased risk to the functionality of ecotourism facilities. Thus, the government and the private sector should pay particular attention to the management and application of climate information, the inclusion of climate factors in ecotourism and in ecotourism development policies. This requires effective coordination between environmental and tourism organizations, especially between WMO and WTO. Further research in the field of tourism will be critical to ensure the effective implementation of tourism safety in the country.

For the tourism business, weather and climate information and forecasting of extreme climate events developed by National Meteorological and Hydrological Services are gaining in importance, given that the programming of many tourism activities is highly climate dependent and ecotourism insurance practices are highly dependent on natural disasters.
Emilia Petrescu – thoughts about Vocal Music and Pedagogy

Published: February 2022

In the middle of the communist era, a Romanian singer with talent, music knowledge and ambition, manages the performance of devoting herself to a vast concertrepertoire, not exactly a friendly one with the atheist views of the official doctrine of the proletariat, who recently was installed in Romania after the World War II. Her vocal repertoire included Songs (Lieder) and Oratory, represented by vocal-symphonic works mostly with religious content. But through a high level of professionalism, her well mastered vocal technique and a unique intelligence in mastering the musical phrase, also with a practical temperament, Emilia Petrescu manages to achieve a wide national and European recognition. This article aims to reconstruct some of the artist's thoughts on the art of singing, which I hope will be useful to new generations of singers."

"hichester Psalms by Leonard Bernstein can be interpreted by formations with different levels of musical accomplishment and express the idea of harmonious communion. By analysing the parts of the score - an extended choral composition in three movements for boy treble or countertenor, choir and orchestra, we present semantic aspects of it. Aided by his componistic thechniques, Bernstein is successful in acquiring a strong dramatism in his Chicester Psalms, that is effective in communicating a strong urge of the present but also of transcendence. The use of intervals, chords, tonal functions are very expressive, when overlaid with the Psalms of David. "

"The paper herein highlights those aspects of Chopin’s sonata that demonstrate the strong connection with the classical-type sonata, as well as the fact that the piano poet took inspiration from some German composers’ themes, which he afterwards developed and transformed into genuine chefs-d’oeuvre – Sonata op 4, Sonata op 35, Sonata op 58 and Sonata for cello and piano op. 65. By analyzing piano sonatas composed by Frederic Chopin, one can notice how the composer perceived the sonata form, the compositional procedures resorted to and the level wherefrom the sonata form in Chopin’s conception began to evolve."

The vocal profile of the character “Anna Bolena” from the homonymous opera by Gaetano Donizetti
Authors:   Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania, ADETU Edith Georgiana
Published: February 2022

Anna Bolena is one of the most representative works of the composer Gaetano Donizetti because it marks the transition from the style of its predecessors (Rossini, Mayr, Pacini) to a more well-defined personal style. This study addresses the vocal profile of the main character, both in the context of the characteristic vocal typology and in the context of the voice-dramaturgy relationship. The character of Anna Bolena highlights the vocality of dramatic coloratura soprano and outlines the new hypostase of “prima donna” in the italian opera - that of the performer-actress.

Published: February 2022

In the aesthetics of opera theater at the beginning of the 21st century, the concept of "style" is applicable only to a musical score. The impact of auditory and visual perception in an opera show contradicts the canons of classical opera, which are always focused on the synthesis of the arts that formed this phenomenon. The article is devoted to the urgent problem of the reform of the work, based on the ideals of contemporary drama. The mechanisms and ways of using the experience of a certain type of theater at the beginning of this century are considered by the author in a general historical and cultural context. The article reviews the innovative trends in the art of the opera singer. The purpose of the research is to present a singer-actor who is part of the operatic text. Using the experience of theater and music sciences, the author identifies the patterns of interaction between theatrical and musical series in the art of a singer. The author concludes that it is important to create scientific methods to research the above issues.
