Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT Curly and smooth kale hybrids grown in both field (conventional) and hydroponic systems were sensory-analyzed using the descriptive and affective sensory technique. The treatments comprised hydroponic-cultivated Darkibor (A), Darkibor cultivated in field (B), HS2O (C), Arielli (D) and Kobe (E), these last three cultivated under conventional system (field-cultivated). The panelists indicated the significant attributes that described the differences in kale sensory profiles. Darkibor (A) and Arielli (D) kale leaves had the lightest green color. Regarding their format, the kales were classified into smooth and curly. Both the Darkibor grown in field (B) and Arielli (D) had the most intense bitter taste. Darkibor (A) showed the highest intensity for sweet taste, followed by Arielli (D). The field-cultivated Darkibor (B) ranked the highest crispness and mouthfeel (sensation produced by a particular food in the mouth). The color and texture of the kale leaves affected purchase intention by the consumer, and the color showed a difference among the kales, with Darkibor kale (A) receiving the lowest score. Darkibor (A) obtained lower buying-likelihood scores, reinforcing that color affects consumers’ purchase intention.

Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT Lavender (Lavandula dentata) has several medicinal applications, both in the fresh form and after industrial processing. Productivity increase could be obtained through the mass propagation, expanding the possibility of obtaining raw material for production of essential oil. The objective of this work was to develop a micropropagation protocol from explants obtained from seeds. Aspects of in vitro germination, multiplication, elongation and rooting were evaluated and, in sequence, the acclimatization process as well. The in vitro germination of lavender seeds can be obtained using a medium composed of agar and water. For multiplication, the use of MS medium (Murashige & Skoog, 1962) added with 5.0 µM 6-benzylaminopurine to the nutrient medium is the most appropriate. For elongation and rooting, the use of growth regulators is unnecessary. Acclimatization can be obtained directly by transferring the explant to plastic bags with substrate, kept in a greenhouse. It was possible to develop a protocol for the in vitro cultivation (establishment, multiplication, elongation, rooting and acclimatization) of lavender from explants of seed origin.

ABSTRACT One of the biggest challenges in the intercropping system of two crops is to obtain the optimal dose of green manure and the adequate population density of the crops. So, the objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of beet and arugula intercropping, influenced by green manuring with Merremia aegyptia and Calotropis procera and arugula population densities in two cultivation years, in semi-arid environment. The experimental design used was in randomized complete blocks, with the treatments arranged in a 4 x 4 factorial scheme, with 4 repetitions. The first factor of this scheme consisted of equitable amounts of M. aegyptia and C. procera biomass (20, 35, 50 and 65 t ha-1 on a dry basis) and the second factor, by arugula population densities (40, 60, 80 and 100% of the recommended density for single cropping, corresponding to 400, 600, 800 and 1,000 thousand arugula plants ha-1). The production and its components were evaluated on beet and arugula. In addition to these characteristics, the following agro-economic indicators were also determined for each treatment: system productivity index (SPI), land equivalent coefficient (LEC) and monetary equivalent ratio (MER). The greatest agro-economic advantages of the beet with arugula intercropping were achieved with a system productivity index (SPI) of 53.47 t ha-1, land equivalent coefficient (LEC) of 0.84 and a monetary equivalent ratio (MER) of 1.56, respectively, combining 65 t ha-1 of M. aegyptia and C. procera biomass with the arugula population density of 1,000 thousand plants ha-1. The maximum optimized commercial productivity of beetroots in the system intercropped with arugula was 23.20 t ha-1 using 65 t ha-1 of M. aegyptia and C. procera and in the arugula population density of 1,000 thousand plants ha-1, while the maximum arugula productivity intercropped with beet was 9.65 t ha-1, in the same combination of green manures amount and arugula population density.

Published: December 2021

In this study, the effect of main and side chain lengths of polycarboxylate ether-based high-range water-reducing admixtures (WRAs) on the fresh properties, compressive strength and water absorption of cementitious systems containing 0, 15, 30 and 45 wt% fly ash was investigated. For this purpose, three WRAs with the same molecular weight but different chain lengths were produced. According to the test results, the flowability of the paste and mortars was negatively affected when the length of the main and side chains of the admixture was longer or shorter than a certain value. This adverse effect is thought to arise from weakening of the adsorption of the admixture with an increase in its chain lengths. However, when the main and side chain lengths of the admixture were shorter or longer than a certain value, the time-dependent flow properties of the mortar mixtures improved. The main and side chain lengths of the WRAs did not have a significant effect on the compressive strength and water absorption capacity of the mortar mixtures. However, irrespective of the admixture characteristics, with an increase in fly ash substitution, the flow and time-dependent flow properties of the mixtures were negatively affected but their water absorption decreased.

There is no kinetic data and rate equation that can be used directly for catalytic combustion of acrylonitrile tail gas, which leads to the multi-stage combined catalytic kinetic model of acrylonitrile tail gas collaborative removal. In the actual application process, affected by the internal and external diffusion, this paper proposes the multi-stage combined catalytic kinetic research and CFD simulation analysis of acrylonitrile tail gas collaborative removal. Based on the judgment of multi-stage combined catalytic reaction rules of acrylonitrile tail gas collaborative removal, the multi-stage combined catalytic reaction network of acrylonitrile tail gas collaborative removal is solved by matrix transformation. The possible reaction path in the multi-stage combined catalytic reaction network of acrylonitrile tail gas collaborative removal is solved. For quantitative calculation of product distribution, each step of reaction parameters and dynamic factors are required.

Stiffness characterization of mechanical interfaces is quite crucial for the analysis of several tribological behaviors. The stiffness of different machine tools varies greatly, particularly for computer numerical control machine. Therefore, this research aims at providing an assessment of influence factors for stiffness of joint interfaces theoretically. Based on fractal roughness parameters independent of scale and contact mechanics theory, the contact area of joint interface is studied, and the multi-scale normal contact stiffness model and multi-scale tangential contact stiffness model are proposed. Meanwhile, the problem of the deformation of any contact asperity is considered as three separate regimes. The laws of area-displacement and force-displacement under elastic-plastic regime are established. The transition which is in the deformation mechanism of asperity from elastic to plastic is consistent with classical contact mechanics. The analysis of numerical calculation results indicates the approximate linear relation among dimensionless normal load and key parameters. Moreover, these key parameters have been divided into two main categories for the multiscale model of joint interfaces, one is fractal parameters such as fractal dimension D and fractal roughness parameter G, and the other is interfacial parameters. In addition, tangential load and friction factor are two important factors to the tangential stiffness.

The temperature dependence of the elastocaloric effect were studied and experimental values of the adiabatic cooling Δ T ad in loading/unloading cycles up to 13.3 K in quenched and 16.4 K in aged at 573 K, 1 h Ni50.6Ti49.4 single crystals were obtained. In aged crystals, a specific feature of the elastocaloric effect temperature dependence (an increase in Δ T ad above the temperature T R = 273 K) was found, which is associated with a change in the sequence of stress-induced martensitic transformation from R-B19' to B2-B19'. The factors (the value of the dissipated energy in the working cycle, the strain hardening coefficient during the stress-induced martensitic transformation), that affect the elastocaloric effect, are discussed. It is shown, that aged single crystals have a high coefficient of performance value up to 31, which characterizes the efficiency of converting mechanical energy into thermal energy, and are promising for solid-state cooling technologies.
Optimal scheduling algorithms of system chip power density based on network on chip
Authors:   College of Electrical Engineering, Zhejiang University, Li Jiashen , Pan Yun ,   College of Information Science & Electronic Engineering, Zhejiang University
Published: December 2021

The improvement of chip integration leads to the increase of power density of system chips, which leads to the overheating of system chips. When dispatching the power density of system chips, some working modules are selectively closed to avoid all modules on the chip being turned on at the same time and to solve the problem of overheating. Taking 2D grid-on-chip network as the research object, an optimal scheduling algorithm of system-on-chip power density based on network-on-chip (NoC) is proposed. Under the constraints of thermal design power (TDP) and system, dynamic programming algorithm is used to solve the optimal application set throughput allocation from bottom to top by dynamic programming for the number and frequency level of each application configuration processor under the given application set of network-on-chip. On this basis, the simulated annealing algorithm is used to complete the application mapping aiming at heat dissipation effect and communication delay. The open and closed processor layout is determined. After obtaining the layout results, the TDP is adjusted. The maximum TDP constraint is iteratively searched according to the feedback loop of the system over-hot spots, and the power density scheduling performance of the system chip is maximized under this constraint, so as to ensure the system core. At the same time, chip throughput can effectively solve the problem of chip overheating. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm increases the system chip throughput by about 11%, improves the system throughput loss, and achieves a balance between the system chip power consumption and scheduling time.

Authors:   Institute of Physical Materials Science SB RAS, Vetluzhsky A.Yu.
Published: December 2021

Methods of focusing electromagnetic waves based on the use of two-dimensional photonic crystals formed by metal and dielectric elements are considered. In the first case the physical basis for the creation of radiation focusing systems consists in the manifestation of the properties of a homogeneous medium with ultra-low refractive index by metal photonic crystals at the frequencies of the first allowed zone. In the second case the possibility of constructive interference of direct transmission waves and edge waves diffracting at the edges of spatially bounded dielectric structures is used for focusing.

It has been shown that the morphology of YAG: Ce ceramic samples, synthesized in the field of high-energy electron flux, depends on the degree of compaction of the initial charge of Y, Al, Ce oxides. The fraction of the YAG phase is higher in the samples of ceramics obtained from the compacted charge. The spectral characteristics of the luminescence of samples, synthesized from a mixture of the same composition, does not depend on the degree of compaction.
“...I Would Like to Publish the Third Volume of My Microlanguages”: (To the Philological Portrait of Professor A.D. Dulichenko)
Authors:   Petrozavodsk State University (Petrozavodsk, Russian Federation), Nikitin O.V.
Published: December 2021

The article tells about the life and professional activities of the famous Slavist A.D. Dulichenko. Focusing on his interest in the study of micro-languages, the author emphasizes the influence of the national tradition on the formation of an approach to the study of linguistic rarities. In the overview of Professor Dulichenko’s main achievements in Russian studies, the author emphasizes his contribution to the world Slavic studies and the study of the languages of Slavia in the cultural space of traditions and times. Evaluating Dulichenko’s research in terms of the Humanities in the 21st century, the author draws attention to the multidimensional nature of his research method as well as polyglotticism, and deep knowledge of regional characteristics of microlanguages. Drawing on numerous books by Dulichenko, namely Introduction to Slavic Philology, which was the first to include detailed information about the Rusin and other minor languages and make it part of the syllabus for Philology in Russia, the author concludes that it is necessary to revise the traditional understanding of this discipline in higher education. The author pays special attention to the Compendium- Reader on Slavic Microlanguages – documentary evidence of the diversity of Slavia in its written traditions and oral forms of expression. Analyzing the structure of the book and highlighting its conceptual provisions, the author actualizes Dulichenko’s ideas about the status of literary microlanguages and their place in the classification of Slavic languages.

Published: December 2021

Using the Czech press from the revolutionary 1848 to the period before WWI as the source of information, the authors revise the established view of the Rusin question in the Habsburg Empire in the mid 19th – early 20th century. The analysis suggests that the Slavic population in Galicia and Subcarpathian Rus retained their ethnic identity and distanced themselves from the mainstream population. If in 1848 all Slavic residents of Galicia, whose political leaders opposed the Poles, were referred to as Rusins in the Czech press, by the end of the 19th century the Czech press had already regarded this people as an independent nation.

Authors: Kolachev Nikita , Rutkovskaya Elena , Kovaleva Galina , Polovnikova Anastasia
Published: December 2021

Based on the OECD PISA financial literacy data released in 2020, Russian students’ strengths and deficits are analyzed to examine the relationship between financial literacy and a variety of factors. Regression analysis shows that both individual and school-related characteristics are significant predictors of students’ performance in financial literacy. In particular, when controlling for socioeconomic status (SES), non-cognitive factors, and school climate, 15-year-old girls score lower on financial literacy than boys of the same age (b = –7.04, p < .05). Family SES is positively associated with financial literacy scores (b = 15.24, p < .01), and school SES demonstrates an even stronger association (b = 35.78, p < .01). Among non-cognitive factors, interest in money matters (categorical variable) and confidence in dealing with money matters (b = 7.95, p < .01) play a significant role. Teacher behavior hindering learning has a negative effect on financial literacy (b = –4.72, p < .05). The findings are used to develop practical recommendations for promoting financial literacy, addressed to both teachers and parents.
Back to the Iron Cage? Institutional Isomorphism of the AIIB
Authors:   School of International Relations and Public Affairs, Fudan University, Zhu Jiejin , Hu Xinyu ,   School of International Relations and Public Affairs, Fudan University
Published: December 2021

During its first five years of operation, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is becoming more and more similar to traditional Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) in terms of operational goals, business area, and environmental and social standards. Why has the AIIB, the newest type of multilateral development bank (MDB) initiated by an emerging economy, undergone institutional isomorphism? Based on the socialization theory, this paper argues that the institutional environment in which the AIIB is operating has a strong influence on AIIB’s institution-building, mainly through the coercive, mimetic, and normative institutional isomorphic processes. On coercion, the pressures from European donors, international credit rating agencies, and global civil society have resulted in the AIIB’s institutional isomorphism. On mimicking, the social uncertainty of the relationship between the AIIB and the Belt and Road Initiative and the technical uncertainty of infrastructure projects have triggered the AIIB’s institutional isomorphism. On normativeness, the similar educational backgrounds and working experience of the AIIB’s staff and active interactions among the MDB family members have caused the AIIB’s institutional isomorphism. The paper concludes that the international institutional environment might hamper emerging economies’ capabilities of institutional innovation.
What determines the ambitiousness of climate policy in different сountries

Published: December 2021

Climate change is considered one of the most challenging problems of the 21st century and requires coordinated action by governments across the globe. The Paris Agreement, ratified by most countries of the world, sets the goal of keeping the average temperature rise within 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels. As part of the Agreement, countries set nationally determined contributions (NDCs)—targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions—which are determined voluntarily. Because these targets are nationally determined, they depend on domestic constraints and the additional opportunities that individual countries’ emission reduction strategies present. As a result, climate policies vary widely among countries, both in terms of the emission reduction targets and the policy instruments used. The purpose of this study is to systematize the factors influencing climate policy using factor and cluster analysis methods. Factor analysis is used to aggregate a set of investigated statistical indicators, reflecting a country’s development level, exposure to climate risks, energy endowment, and foreign trade specialization, into a series of principal components. Based on the selected principal components, the countries are clustered into homogeneous groups, and the indicators of climate policy ambition are compared among the clusters. The results of the study demonstrate that climate change vulnerability is not a determinant of climate policy. As a rule, the poorest and most vulnerable countries set the least ambitious emission reduction targets. At the same time, rich and energy-abundant countries are more likely to implement active climate policies and set more ambitious emissions reduction targets compared to energy-intensive countries and countries that specialize in exporting carbon-intensive products. Advanced climate policy instruments, such as a carbon tax or emissions trading system, are used with greater frequency in more advanced and energy-deficient countries.
Regulating Global Stablecoins and Central Bank Digital Currencies in Selected G20 Countries
Authors:   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Shelepov Andrei
Published: December 2021

Digitalization of the global economy, which has intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic, is leading to the development of digital currencies. Financial authorities in most countries are working to design regulation aimed at minimizing the risks associated with privately issued digital assets. At the same time, research is being carried out, and several pilot projects have been launched, on the use of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)—a new payment instrument that can potentially contribute to stimulating innovations, expanding access to financial services, simplifying cross-border payments, and maintaining financial stability. In this article, the author examines the approaches of some G20 members to regulating CBDCs and global stablecoins (GSC)—a financial instrument pegged to real assets, which is a potential alternative to traditional fiat currencies. The author then identifies general tendencies in the approaches of the considered jurisdictions to regulation and proposes recommendations on intensifying the development of Russia’s national rules and norms in this area, primarily for GSC, and strengthening international cooperation.

Under the concept of information and analytical activity we understand a kind of special mental, intellectual human activity, as a result of which in the process of successive actions for the search, accumulation, processing, analysis of the original source an analytical forecast or review is created. At present, it is the information and analytical activity that enables managers to make the right decisions in the face of modern, difficult to predict, crisis phenomena of today. Based on the abovementioned, it can be stated that it is the information and analytical processes that allow public authorities of different countries around the world and regional associations to make effective management decisions, predicting in advance the consequences of both decision and no decision. Analytics and information appear to be a new type of product, with universal economic properties, which are defined in unlimited reproduction, accumulation, use and at the same time a way to study phenomena / processes at both macro and micro levels. In scientific research, information analytics primarily performs the task of qualitative and meaningful transformation of primary information, functionally intersecting in this regard with scientific (production of new knowledge) and management (development of solutions, scenarios) activities. Information and analytical activity is interconnected with science through the information method of cognition and scientific analysis of reality, and with management - the applicable nature of analytics (solving specific information needs and problems of the customer). Information and analytical activity is a broader area of research. It includes the selection and systematization of facts on a particular issue, their evaluation, selection, interpretation, clear and thoughtful presentation in oral or written form. It is worth noting that the extraction of necessary materials, activity related to the acquisition, systematization, translation and distribution of books and documents are not included here. Hence the purpose of such activities is to get the most out of the available information in order to understand and assess the situation properly, see it in the long run, and ultimately - to eliminate future threats.

Bu çalışmada Harran Ovasında suluda buğday tarımının 2002-2021 yılları arasındaki yapısal değişikliklerin yıllık çiftçi sörveyleri yoluyla izlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. 2002-2021 yılları arasında 13 sörvey yılında Şanlıurfa il merkezine 10 km uzaklıktaki köylerde her yıl tesadüfen seçilmiş 50’şer çiftçi üzerinde yürütülen bu çalışmalarda çiftçilere 27 soru sorulmuş ve 23 sorunun cevapları tanımlayıcı istatistikler yardımıyla değerlendirilmiştir. Buna göre Burgos ve Dariel çeşitleri yüksek verimleri ve pazarlama fiyatlarıyla en çok tercih edilen çeşitler olurken ortalama verim 531±9,41 kg/da olmuştur. Toprak işleme, ekim zamanı ve ekim normu, gübre normu, sulama, yabancı ot mücadelesi, hasat, harman gibi konularda önerilen normlara yakın uygulamaların yapıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Yağış azlığı ve mevsimlere dağılımında düzensizliklerin olması, buğdayda yatma ve bazı yaprak hastalık sorunlarının giderilememiş olması verimi sınırlayıcı faktörler olarak tespit edilmiştir. Girdi fiyatlarındaki yükselme buğday ekim miktarında yaşanan en önemli sorun olarak görülmektedir. Sonbahar yağışlarının geç gelmesi durumunda ovaya buğday için tav suyu verilmesi ve ilkbaharda erken kuraklık olması durumda kanallara erken su verilmesinin buğdayın su ihtiyacının giderilmesinde yaşamsal önemde olduğu anlaşılmıştır.

Turkish yarrow (Achillea gypsicola Hub. Mor.) contains medicinally valuable bioactive metabolites. Light plays a key role in many physiological events in plants such as the accumulation of phenylpropanoid metabolites, particularly photosynthesis. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of light on the biosynthesis of phenylpropanoid metabolites and biomass growth in Turkish yarrow cell suspension cultures. In vitro plantlets obtained from seeds were used as explant sources and cell cultures of A. gypsicola were established using stem segment-derived callus tissues. Then, 8-day-old cell cultures kept in a B5 medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L BA (benzylaminopurine)+0.5 mg/L NAA (naphthalene acetic acid) were incubated in light and dark environments. Cells were harvested five times (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, and 12th day) in total. The amount of camphor was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Other parameters were calculated using the spectrophotometric method. The total phenolic amount increased depending on the sampling time in dark and light conditions. Phenolic accumulation was increased by 29.25% compared to the initial culture. Also, light application increased the amount of camphor 1.12 times, the amount of flavanol 4.9 times, and the amount of flavonol 0.5 times. These results clearly demonstrate the effect of light on cell growth and phenylpropanoid metabolite accumulation in A. gypsicola cell cultures.
