Authors: SEZER Sergender , GÜLTEKİN Tule
Published: December 2020

Bu çalışmada modernleşmenin ve teknolojik gelişmelerin etkilediği toplumsal değişmenin çocuk oyunlarına ve oyun pratiklerindeki değişime nasıl yansıdığı belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırma, çocukluk döneminde toplumsallaşmaya büyük etkisi olduğu kabul edilen çocuk oyunlarının da geçmişten bugüne büyük değişiklikler gösterdiği bilinmektedir. Bu nedenle araştırmanın temel problemini, yaşlı bireylerin çocukluk dönemindeki oyun pratikleri ile günümüz çocuklarının oyun patiklerinin nasıl ve neden değişiklik gösterdiği oluşturmaktadır.

Bu kapsamda araştırma Muğla ilinin Yeniköy Mahallesi’nde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tek mahallenin seçilmiş olmasının amacı, aynı mekânda büyümüş ve büyümekte olan bireyler arasında karşılaştırma yaparak kültürel aktarımın ve değişimin nasıl ilerlediğini görmektir. Yeniköy’de doğup büyüyen ve yaşayan sekiz yaşlı ve sekiz çocuk olmak üzere toplam da on altı katılımcıyla derinlemesine görüşme yapılmıştır.

Araştırma kapsamında elde edilen veriler yorumlayıcı anlayıcı yöntem ve içerik analizi tekniği kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bunun yanında araştırmada kota ve kartopu örneklem kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucuna bakıldığında; toplumsal değişmeye paralel olarak oyun kültürünün geleneksel oyun kültüründen modern oyun kültürüne doğru evrildiği, fakat bu evrim sürecinin hala devam etmekte olduğu görülmektedir.
“JEWISH ISSUE” IN THE DEEDS OF ANTON IVANOVICH DENIKIN DURING THE FRATRICIDAL SLAUGHTER (1917–1920)
Authors: Ippolitov Georgy M.
Published: December 2020

The author of this article researches the historical personality of Lieutenant-General Anton Ivanovich Denikin (1872–1947) – a unique, tragic figure in the history of the Russian power, a military leader, a politician, a writer, – during thirty years of his scientific and pedagogical activity. The scientific results obtained by the researcher are reflected in his doctoral dissertation, four monographs. The biography of the combat Russian general was written, which was published twice (in 2000 and 2006) by the publishing house “Young Guard” in the series “Life of wonderful people”. Documentary-fiction narration about the personality and the fate of Anton Ivanovich has been performed, a large number of articles in scientific periodicals and reports in the materials of various scientific forums were published. An anthology about him is also published in the format “pro et contra”. It is clear that such a vast and diverse body of work could not but reflect the topic that is indicated in the title of this article. Was Lieutenant General Anton Ivanovich Denikin an anti-Semite? If he was, how was it reflected in his deeds? The search for answers to such burning questions, questions that are exclusively debatable and sometimes polemical in nature (both in domestic and foreign historiography), was carried out through the analysis of a number of business documents and materials deposited both in federal state archives and published in various collections and separately. It was necessary to study a number of historiographical sources created by researchers in the Soviet, post-Soviet, modern periods of domestic historical science development, as well as abroad. At the same time, the author of this article tried to ensure a careful and correct attitude to the historiographic developments of the predecessors. However, such a research algorithm does not exclude a critical aspect (do not confuse with ill-natured criticism!). Naturally, the article doesn’t have any claim to represent a complete coverage of the problem. It has some elements of sketchiness and appeals to the author’s early works, which comprehensively research the historical personality of Anton Ivanovich Denikin, including the problem of the «Jewish issue”.
RESIDENTS OF CHUVASHIA ABOUT INTERETHNIC AND INTER-CONFESSIONAL RELATIONS IN THE REPUBLIC
Authors: Boyko Ivan I.
Published: December 2020

The article discusses the estimates made by Chuvashia’s population of different aspects of interethnic and inter-confessional relations in the Republic. For this purpose, the materials of the population sociological survey were used, more than 600 residents of the Republic took part in the survey, their distribution by sex, age and place of residence was taken into account. The study was carried out by the Chuvash State Institute of Humanities. In a number of cases, data obtained during 2018 and 2019 studies were used. Negative elements of inter-ethnic relationships, manifested in negative statements about people of other nationalities, real manifestations of such negative relationships are examined. It is shown that such inconveniences are not common, and they were noted by a small number of respondents. An absolute majority of respondents give a positive assessment to inter-ethnic and inter-confessional relations, which is consistent with data obtained in earlier surveys. The conclusion is made about sustainability of the results characterizing the inter-ethnic relations in the Republic. The general and the special in the opinions of representatives of the two main ethnic groups of the Republic – the Chuvash and the Russians are shown. The attitude to religion, its place in the life of respondents is examined.
VISUAL IMAGERY OF THE CHUVASH SATIRICAL MAGAZINE “KAPKAN” AS AN ETHNOGRAPHIC SOURCE
Authors: Shevtsova Anna A.
Published: December 2020

The Chuvash literary-fiction illustrated satire and humour magazine “Kapkăn” (“Kapkan”) was chosen as the object of research. Chronological framework of the study covers 1956–1991: published intermittently since 1925in Cheboksary (originally – as a literary appendix to the newspaper “Kanash”), in 1940 the magazine ceased to be published, its issuing was resumed only in 16 years. The rich post-Soviet history of “Kapkan” (its issuing was suspended in 2017) with a changed plot and imagery of the visual series is the topic of a separate study.

The broad narrative and figurative range of illustrations of “Kapkan”, their abundance and quality were determined by the fact that over decades of its fruitful work many masters of the genre who were famous outside the Republic and who were published in the central press, collaborated with the magazine, including publications in the “elder brother” of republican propaganda satirical publications – the subordinate edition of the newspaper “Pravda» – “Crocodile” magazine. The lack of studies on iconography of the Soviet period of the journal “Kapkan” determines the novelty of the research. The aim of the study is to determine the opportunities of using the visual imagery of the mentioned periodical as an ethnographic source and a source on the history of everyday life. The author considered the methods of content- and context-analysis as the most adequate ones in this case. Turning to such subjects as mismanagement, localism, nepotism, bribery, bureaucracy, artists give considerable food for thought to historians who study the problems of everyday life. The visual imagery of “Kapkan” of the postwar period makes it possible to study not only Soviet social problems through aspects of everyday life of an “ordinary Soviet man”, but classical anthropological subjects (kinship and connection by marriage, gift exchange, power, rites of transition, initiation, social experience passing, work ethic, etc.) as well. “Socialist in content”, the graphic art of the Chuvash caricaturists, was nevertheless sometimes “national in form”. At the same time, “Kapkan” did not too much work the pedals of purely national plots, did not strive for spectacular exoticism. The magazine which was published in the Chuvash language knew and understood its readers, their needs, their daily life. The emotional degree of illustrations to the “Kapkan” ranged from mild patronizing humor to hard-edged accusatory satire; it is important that the stated balance – humor and satire – in an uneasy and often ideologized environment was almost always maintained. A wide range of themes and subjects, the skill to combine graphic materials of different artists, professionals and amateur masters with their own creative manner deserve the closest attention of researchers.
NATIONAL ISSUE IN THE POLITICAL IDEOLOGY OF RIGHT-WING CONSERVATISM: IMPERIAL AND REGIONAL DISCOURSE
Authors: Mikhailova Elizaveta M.
Published: December 2020

The article analyzes the views of right-wing-conservative parties and organizations of the beginning of the 20th century on the national issue. The positions of the right wingers in relation to the Russian people, non-Russian nationalities of inner Russia and the nationalities of national fringes are examined; factors of such differentiation are identified. Particular attention is paid to the peculiarities of the national policy carried on by the right-wing conservative parties and organizations of the Volga region dictated by the multinational and multi-confessional composition of the region. The author singles out positions similar to the All-Russian right-wing parties among the Volga conservatives, in particular in defending the principle of unity and indivisibility of the Russian Empire, preventing dismemberment of the country. The distinctive features of the national issues in the right monarchical parties of the Volga region were determined, they were expressed in the fact that their program platforms included provisions on granting foreigners civil rights which were equal to the ones given to the Russians, on admitting the right to believe in the faith of one’s choice to the non-Orthodox, on using national languages in parallel with the state Russian language. The factors of radicalization among right-wing conservatives of national themes in the conditions of the First World War were noted.

IDENTIFICACIÓN DE DIVERSIDAD PATOGÉNICA DE Phomopsis sp. CAUSAL DEL TIZÓN DEL TALLO Y VAINA EN SOYA (Glycine max) MEDIANTE MARCADORES MOLECULARES
Authors: Ezequiel-Hernández Facundo , Peruzzo Alejandra M. , Pratta Guillermo R. , Pioli Rosanna N.
Published: December 2020

Phomopsis longicolla (Plo) y P. phaseoli var. sojae (Pps) son causantes del tizón del tallo y vainas (TTV) y decaimiento de semillas (DS) en soja (Glycine max). El objetivo fue estudiar la variabilidad genética y patogénica de Phomopsis al interactuar con cultivares con resistencia variada o susceptibilidad; así como conocer la asociación entre el perfil molecular y patogénico en las interacciones estudiadas. La hipótesis fue que existe variabilidad genética en los germoplasmas fúngico y vegetal que incrementa la diversidad de reacciones específicas durante el desarrollo del TTV. Por lo tanto, en este estudio se propone una metodología para analizar la asociación entre atributos patogénicos (expresión fenotípica de la enfermedad) y marcadores moleculares. Seis aislamientos de Plo y uno de Pps se inocularon en seis cultivares de soja. La variabilidad genética fúngica se evaluó mediante marcadores tipo RAPD e ITS y el comportamiento patogénico de los aislamientos fúngicos a través de la severidad (S%) de la enfermedad generada en los cultivares de soja. La caracterización molecular separó a los aislamientos de Plo de Pps. Las interacciones específicas evidenciaron comportamientos diferenciales entre aislamientos fúngicos y entre cultivares de soja. El estudio permitió identificar asociaciones entre la variabilidad molecular de los patógenos y los comportamientos diferenciales en el conjunto de aislamientos de Phomopsis y cultivares de soja frente a TTV en G. max.

Published: December 2020

La combinación de frutas y leguminosas con productos cárnicos demostraron efectos benéficos en la calidad del alimento y en los consumidores. El objetivo de este experimento fue evaluar el efecto de garbanzo (Cicer arietinum L.) y tomate (Solanum lycopersicum) deshidratado en la calidad nutricional, capacidad antioxidante y vida de anaquel de salchicha tipo Frankfurt, y se espera que a mayor contenido de tomate y garbanzo se mejore la capacidad antioxidante y estabilidad del producto. En cuatro formulaciones de salchicha, con dos niveles de harina de garbanzo y polvo de tomate se evaluaron características fisicoquímicas, capacidad antioxidante, recuento microbiano y características sensoriales. El diseño experimental para el análisis fisicoquímico y microbiológico fue factorial (5´4), con formulación y tiempo de almacenamiento como factores; el diseño para actividad antioxidante y análisis sensorial fue completamente al azar y se analizó con ANDEVA de una vía y comparación de medias con la prueba Tukey (p£0.05). El tomate y el garbanzo no modificaron significativamente el contenido de proteína y carbohidratos, en contraste con la fibra y la humedad. La vida de anaquel, Aw, disminuyó con el tiempo por la interacción de los factores. El tomate redujo los niveles de oxidación e incrementó el color interno y externo de la salchicha. El contenido de fenoles totales mostró que el tomate y el garbanzo son fuente de antioxidantes. La capacidad antioxidante del tomate y el garbanzo en la salchicha podrían disminuir el uso de aditivos sintéticos. El contenido mayor de tomate en la formulación funcionó como antimicrobiano, mientras que el contenido mayor de tomate y el menor de garbanzo produjeron mayor aceptabilidad. Por lo anterior se concluye que la adición de garbanzo y tomate redujo el crecimiento microbiano y mejoró las características nutricionales, sensoriales y capacidad antioxidante, por lo cual es una alternativa para reducir la inclusión de aditivos químicos.

Authors: SARGIN Sinem , LEBLEBİCİ KOÇER Leyla
Published: December 2020

Teknolojik ilerlemeler ve iletişimin yaygınlaşması, ürün ve hizmetler arasındaki farkları en aza indirgemeye ya da ortadan kaldırmaya başlamıştır. İşletmeler tüketicilerin ilgi, istek ve satın alma davranışlarını harekete geçirebilmek için markalarını ön plana çıkarmak zorunda kaldıkları için mevcut markalar üzerinde kişilik yaratmaya başlayarak, faydacı işlevlerinin yanına sembolik bir değer yüklemeye çalışmaktadırlar. Marka kişiliği bir markaya atfedilen insansı özelliklerdir. Markaların kişilik özellikleri tüketicinin benliğiyle bağdaştığı ve uyumlu hale geldiğinde anlam kazanır. Benlik saygısı, kişinin kendisine dair algı ve değerlendirmeleri olarak ifade edilmektedir. Tüketici satın alma tarzları ise, bireylerin alışveriş sırasında ürün ve hizmetler arasından tercih yapma yöntemlerini belirleyen karakteristik özellikler olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı üniversite öğrencilerinin Mavi Jeans markasına yönelik marka kişiliği algılarının benlik saygısı üzerindeki etkisini aynı zamanda da marka kişiliği algıları ve benlik saygısı düzeylerinin satın alma tarzları üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Kayseri Nuh Naci Yazgan Üniversitesi’nde 375 lisans öğrencisine yüz-yüze anket yöntemi uygulanarak gerçekleştirilen çalışma sonucunda elde edilen veriler yapısal eşitlik modeli kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre, tüketicilerin marka kişiliği algılarının benlik saygıları üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu ve marka kişiliği algısının satın alma tarzı üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu ortaya çıkarılırken, benlik saygısının tüketicilerin satın alma tarzı üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

To understand the evaluation and evolution of CBIR system various research was studied and various research is going on this way also. In this paper, we have discussed some of the popular pixel level feature extraction techniques for Content-Based Image Retrieval and we also present here about the performance of each technique.
Sources of State Revenue and State Effectiveness: The Nigerian Experience
Authors: Okon Ebi Bassey , Okon Nyong Saviour
Published: December 2020

Ineffectiveness of states has been linked to poor fiscal-social contract between states and her citizens which is a consequence of how states raise her revenues. Hence, this paper examines the relative impacts of earned and unearned revenues on different measures of state effectiveness in terms of provision of basic public goods and development of economic and political institutions in Nigeria over the period 1996 to 2018, using Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) estimation technique. The paper found that, on one hand, an increase in earned revenue instigates improvement in provision of health care, while increase in unearned revenue had no significant impact on provision of health. On the other hand, a one-percent (1%) increase in earned revenue had a greater impact on educational enrollment than a 1% increase in unearned revenue. Increase in earned revenue increases state effectiveness while increase in unearned revenue reduces state effectiveness. The paper concludes that, the effectiveness of Nigerian government in provision of basic public goods and development of strong economic and political institutions might improve if government increases their financial resources through taxes than increase in oil revenue.
Virtual objective structured clinical examination for family nurse practitioner students using a Zoom platform in the time of COVID-19
Authors: Kirkland Tracie Walker , Zappas Michelle , Liu Alan , Hueck Susan E. , Hochuli Jo Fava , May Win
Published: December 2020

Objective: In response to school shut downs amid the COVID-19 pandemic, nurse educators from the University of Southern California implemented a virtual objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) using standardized patients (SPs) to assess family nurse practitioner (FNP) students’ clinical and communication skills as an alternative to the traditional in-person OSCE format. The intent of this paper is to share the nurse educators’ experiences with the transitional process and students’ feedback about their virtual OSCE experiences.Methods: Students (N = 36) enrolled in a childbearing/childrearing clinical course participated in the virtual OSCE using Zoom. The experience included briefing and debriefing sessions. Students were evaluated for their communication and clinical decision making skills based on their assessment of two adolescent patients: one acute with behavioral problems presenting for a checkup and one with headache.Results: All students who participated in the virtual OSCE experience demonstrated appropriate clinical and communication skills. Students perceived the virtual OSCE as a realistic model for telehealth but missed social interaction with faculty and peers and found their inability to conduct physical exam maneuvers challenging. The majority (79.3%) preferred interacting with patients face-to-face.Conclusions: Virtual OSCEs used as low-stakes formative assessments provide FNP students with effective and valuable learning experiences. Transitioning from in-person to virtual OSCEs using Zoom is feasible but requires extensive collaboration between nursing educators and those with access to simulation facilities, such as faculty from schools of medicine. Findings from this experience will serve as a guide for deliberate process improvements for future iterations.

Microscopic theory of high-temperature superconductivity in strongly correlated electronic systems
Authors: Plakida N.M.
Published: December 2020

A consistent microscopic theory of superconductivity for strongly correlated electronic systems is presented. The Dyson equation for the normal and anomalous Green functions for the projected (Hubbard) electronic operators is derived. To compare various mechanisms of pairing, the extended Hubbard model is considered where the intersite Coulomb repulsion and the electron-phonon interaction are taken into account. We obtain the d-wave pairing with high-Tc induced by the strong kinematical interaction of electrons with spin fluctuations, while the Coulomb repulsion and the electron-phonon interaction are suppressed for the d-wave pairing. These results support the spin-fluctuation mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates previously proposed in phenomenological models.
Influence of XY anisotropy on a magnetoelectric effect in spin-1/2 XY chain in a transverse magnetic field
Authors: Ohanyan V.
Published: December 2020

A magnetoelectric effect according to Katsura-Nagaosa-Balatsky mechanism in spin-1/2 XY chain in transverse magnetic field is considered. A spatial orientation of the electric field is chosen to provide an exact solution of the model in terms of free spinless fermions. The simplest model of quantum spin chain demonstrating a magnetoelectric effect, a zero temperature case of the spin-1/2 XX chain in a transverse magnetic field with Katsura-Nagaosa-Balatsky mechanism, is considered. The model has the simplest possible form of the magnetization, polarization and susceptibility functions, depending on electric and magnetic fields in a most simple form. For the case of arbitrary XY anisotropy, a non-monotonous dependence of magnetization on the XY anisotropy parameter is figured out. This non-uniform behaviour is governed by the critical point which is connected with the possibility to drive the system gapless or gapped by the electric field. Singularities of the magnetoelectric susceptibility at the critical value of system parameters are shown.
Governing Territories in Turbulence with Advanced Marketing Frameworks
Authors: Bruni Roberto , Colamatteo Annarita , Nekhoda Evgenia
Published: December 2020

The world is living in a period of turbulence in terms of health and environmental emergencies, markets and societies complexity. Providing sustainable wellbeing and quality of life to population is a challenge for governments. Policy makers are searching for useful strategies to satisfying the needs of population, and forecasting problems for the future.

Technology, use of data, international cooperation and networks are change-generating forces that cause effects on markets and societies and modify the design, production, and consumption of products and services. Companies manage the factors that stimulate the change, modifying or adapting their management and marketing approaches. The challenge of managing turbulence of societies and the relationship with internal and external stakeholders appears to be more difficult for governments.

Including literature from sociology, geography, and business and management, a selection of multidisciplinary contributions is presented to explain the role of advanced marketing frameworks appliable by governments to overcome the complexity within territories caused by the change-generating forces.

The paper presents the place marketing ‘value co-creation driven’ as a useful framework to manage the place value proposition by governments, using specific capabilities and a systemic approach.

Published: December 2020

Despite numerous positive effects on the environment, increased demands, intense research, and adequate public attention, crops grown according to the principles of organic production still occupy considerably small areas. It is difficult for certified producers to decide to expand the production of certified organic vegetables. One of the reasons is the insufficiently developed growing technology of different vegetable species in accordance with the law and regulations on organic production. Intercropping, growing of subsequent crops, and application of microbiological fertilizers are considered as the most useful techniques for yield increases in sustainable growing practices. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibilities for enhancing root yield of beetroot and radish, when grown as second crops in an organic double-cropping production system. The effects of intercropping and applying microbial fertilizers on the vegetable root weights were assessed. Intercropping was with green beans, implemented by replacement series method. Two microbial fertilizers were applied, one containing selected strains of Bacillus megatherium, B. licheniformis, B. suptilis, Azotobacter chrocoocum, A. vinelandi and Derxia sp. (M1), and other with Bacillus subtilis, Azotobacter sp., Penicillium oxalicum and Fusarium sp. (M2). Intercropping and microbial fertilizers contributed to the root weight increase. The highest root weights were noted for the intercropped plants treated with M1 (beetroot, 151.8 g) and M2 (radish, 351.0 g), which was 23.5% and 15.5% higher than in the sole crop unfertilized control. The results imply combining intercropping and the appropriate microbial fertilizers as an effective strategy for increasing yields of organically grown beetroot and radish.
Factors associated with health literacy

Published: December 2020

The World Health Organization defines health literacy as cognitive and social skills and the capacity to access, understand and use information in a way that promotes and protects human health. People who have higher levels of health literacy are more responsible for their health, family health and the health of their community. Healthcare professionals and researchers, as well as health policy makers, have recognized the need to focus on health literacy as a possible factor in reducing health disparities. However, the precise nature of the relationship between health literacy and the factors that determine it, is still rather unclear.
The problem of genesis of quaternary deposits of the Barents Sea as a reflection of the overall crisis of glacial theory
Authors: Krapivner Rudol'f Borisovich
Published: December 2020

This article continues the discussion on quaternary geology and paleogeography of the vast and well-studied shelf of the Barents Sea. The object this research is the relief and quaternary formations of the Barents shelf. The data of seismic-acoustic profiling and materials of engineering-geological drilling were used. Since the Barents shelf is a high-latitude area of Holocene sedimentation, the author analyzes various aspects of the quaternary sediments genesis, taking into account the geographic zoning of marine sedimentation processes and an increase in the gravitational consolidation of sediments down through the section. The genetic link between the microstructure and the degree of consolidation of clayey sediments with their seismic image was revealed, which was considered in interpretation of seismic profiling materials. Over the Barents shelf, the cover of weakly consolidated sediments of the last marine transgression is separated from the underlying morainelike or pre-quaternary sediments by a diachronous boundary of stratigraphic and sometimes angular unconformity. The transgression is not of glacioeustatic, but of tectonic nature. During the hiatus that preceded it, an erosional relief with river valleys and their tributaries was formed, the main features of which have been preserved in the northern deep-water part of the sea. The conclusion is argued that approbation of the glacial theory on the example of high-latitude Arctic shelf contradicts the facts and main provisions of glaciology, reflecting the overall crisis of this theory.
La “eroticidad” de la Mapu: poética-política de recuperación territorial en Roxana Miranda Rupailaf y el video-poema El Shumpall
Authors: Madariaga Caro Montserrat
Published: December 2020

Las relaciones entre vidas humanas y no humanas se han abordado ampliamente desde el pensamiento Mapuche (Calfío, Curivil, Pichinao, entre otras/os). Sin embargo, demandan mayor atención de parte de investigadoras/es no-indígenas desde un enfoque no solo epistemológico u ontológico sino político. Este artículo observa las relaciones sensoriales, espirituales, territoriales y eróticas entre cuerpos de la Mapu en El Shumpall (2014). Analizo la representación de un imaginado espacio de “buen vivir” (küme az mogen), el cual traducido a la tradición literaria occidental equivaldría a un locus amoenus. Esta poética dialoga con las luchas por las “recuperaciones territoriales” en la Mapu williche-lafkenche

Structural Modelling of Psychological Limiting Factors for Economic Growth
Authors: Bundala Ntogwa Ng’habi
Published: December 2020

The main objective of this paper was to develop a structural model of psychological limiting factors for economic growth. Specifically, the paper aimed to determine the psychological demographic characteristics, psychological environmental factors, psychological human behaviour and psychological economic factors those influence economic outputs in Kagera and Mwanza regions in Tanzania. The paper used the cross-sectional survey/data from Mwanza and Kagera regions. The sample size of the study was 211 individuals, randomly sampled. The data analysed by using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) method. The study found that  psychological demographic characteristics, psychological human behaviour and psychological economic factors have significant direct impacts on economic growth. However, the  psychological environmental factors have a negative impact on the economic growth, but   it is not statistically significant.  Moreover, the study established the quasi-sinusoidal theory of happiness timing, which explains the nature and timing of happiness of an individual on boosting the economic growth, which responds to Easterlin Paradoxical paradigm. The study concluded that the economic output (GDP) in any production system is depends on how economic agents define their own “live value” (psychological well-being) and the level of psychological control of factors of production (subjective well-being). However, the optimality of utility choices of the economic agents’ decision is enclosed by level of happiness (psychological outcome). Hence Kagera region is performing worse because of its low psychological well-being. The paper suggested the implementation of psychological booster strategies (PBS) such as the homing nurtures, mental balance exercises programmes and establishment of youth economic support (YES) centres.
Do Environmental Policy Stringency Promote Human Development in Developing Countries?
Authors: Blaise Tsomb Tsomb Etienne Inédit
Published: December 2020

This article analyses the effect of multilaterals environmental agreements (MEAs), the Ministry of Environment and Environmental Democracy on human development in developing countries. The sample comprises 72 countries and the data cover the period from 1995 to 2017. The analysis is carried out in cross-section and the estimation technique is that of double least squares. The results show that MEAs, the ministry of environment and environmental democracy increase the human development index. The results also show that MEAs reduce child mortality, income inequality, and improve secondary school completion rates. Finally, our results indicate that climate change, level of development and geographical location impact on human development in developing countries. We therefore recommend that these countries promote environmental policy stringency while improving their level of governance.

Drainage water recycling (DWR) involves capture, storage, and reuse of surface and subsurface drainage water as irrigation to enhance crop production during critical times of the growing season. Our objectives were to synthesize 53 site‐years of data from 1996 to 2017 in the midwestern United States to determine the effect of DWR using primarily subirrigation on corn (Zea mays L.) grain yield and yield variability and to identify precipitation factors at key stages of corn development (V1–V8, V9–VT, R1–R2, R3–R4, and R5–R6) that correlated to an increase in yield with DWR. A generalized additive model was used to quantify and characterize the relationship between precipitation and corn grain yield during corn development stages and to determine if that relationship differed between DWR and free drainage (FD). Corn yield response to precipitation was generally similar between DWR and FD, except during the critical period of V9–R2, in which DWR was more resilient to precipitation extremes than FD. Drainage water recycling was generally more responsive than FD in years with low and normal precipitation (<181 mm). When precipitation was low (27–85 mm) from V9 to R2, DWR had higher yields (77% of the site‐years evaluated), with an average yield increase of 3.6 Mg ha−1 (1.2–7.5 Mg ha−1). Overall, FD had 28% greater yield variability than DWR. Additional research is needed on DWR impacts on different soils and locations throughout this region to improve the stability of corn yields and to develop automated DWR systems for enhancing efficiency of water management with increasing climate variability.
Laboratory‐scale liquefiers for natural gas: A design and assessment study

Published: December 2020

Exact knowledge of natural gas composition is essential in custody transfer to determine the energy content of the delivery. However, for liquefied natural gas (LNG), a reliable composition determination is difficult. Here, we describe the design of a laboratory‐scale reference liquefier that enables the validation and calibration of optical spectroscopy sensors by providing them with a sample of metrologically traceable composition. Hence, it is crucial to avoid fractionation of the sample during liquefaction. This is realized by supercritical liquefaction of a reference gas mixture in conjunction with a special vapor–liquid‐equilibrium (VLE) cell. As this is a demanding high‐pressure application, low‐pressure condensation as liquefaction method was also assessed. Through experimental investigations and VLE calculations, preservation of the composition of the produced liquid sample during condensation was studied. We conclude that under optimized conditions, validation, and calibration measurements of optical sensors can be performed on condensed liquids, which, however, needs further confirmation.

Introduction

Adolescents have experienced decreased aerobic fitness levels and insufficient physical activity levels over the past decades. While both physical activity and aerobic fitness are related to physical and mental health, little is known concerning how they manifest in the brain during this stage of development, characterized by significant physical and psychosocial changes. The aim of the study is to examine the associations between both physical activity and aerobic fitness with brains’ functional connectivity.

Methods

Here, we examined how physical activity and aerobic fitness are associated with local and interhemispheric functional connectivity of the adolescent brain (n = 59), as measured with resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging. Physical activity was measured by hip‐worn accelerometers, and aerobic fitness by a maximal 20‐m shuttle run test.

Results

We found that higher levels of moderate‐to‐vigorous intensity physical activity, but not aerobic fitness, were linked to increased local functional connectivity as measured by regional homogeneity in 13–16‐year‐old participants. However, we did not find evidence for significant associations between adolescents’ physical activity or aerobic fitness and interhemispheric connectivity, as indicated by homotopic connectivity.

Conclusions

These results suggest that physical activity, but not aerobic fitness, is related to local functional connectivity in adolescents. Moreover, physical activity shows an association with a specific brain area involved in motor functions but did not display any widespread associations with other brain regions. These results can advance our understanding of the behavior–brain associations in adolescents.
