Authors: Mukhibat M , Bukhori Evi Muzaiyidah
Published: January 2022

One of the relevant learning media today to improve Arabic speaking skills is audio-visual media in Video scribe. The development of video scribe media is very urgent to do. Because the characteristics of video scribe-based learning can help students to understand and improve Arabic speaking skills by presenting images, sounds, animations, and designed learning materials interestingly to achieve the expected learning objectives, this research, and development (RD) at Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq State Islamic University (UIN KHAS) Jember has provided a solution to the lack of Arabic learning media. Based on the test results of the validator (media, material, and design experts) on the development of the video scribe media, the score from the validator was based on the value component, namely the score from the learning media expert was 90% with a very valid/decent category, from the Arabic learning material expert got a score of 92 % with very valid/decent category. Moreover, the score from the design expert is 92% in the very valid/decent category. The field trial results using students’ response questionnaire instrument denoted that video scribe media for Arabic speaking skills learning, in general, achieved 47.1%, which indicates that video scribe is an exciting media to use in learning Arabic speaking skills. Besides, the lecturer responded during implementing video scribe media that it was a suitable medium for the pandemic. Thus, it became a solution in learning Arabic speaking skills. Based on these data, the video scribe media developed is feasible to learn Arabic speaking skills.

Published: January 2022

Digitalizing the learning environment receives profound attention for augmenting better learning experiences across subject disciplines, including Arabic language education. By measuring the effectiveness of promoting a digital environment in teaching the Arabic language, this quantitative research investigates the application of animated video (AV) in enhancing Malaysian students’ Arabic vocabulary acquisition. Following a quasi-experimental research design, a group of fourth-grade students (N=46) who studied Arabic as a foreign language was randomly divided into treatment (n=23) and control groups (n=23). The treatment group experienced the use of AV during the teaching and learning sessions, while the control group underwent conventional classroom teaching. The AV contained a variety of multimedia sources to describe and depict Arabic vocabulary accurately. Each group received two 30-minute lessons per week, during which they learned five to seven new words in one lesson. Both groups were later assessed after three weeks, and the scores were analyzed using SPSS Version 20. Findings showed a significant difference between the two groups, t(22)= -3.98, p.001 where the treatment group (M = 86.06, SD = 10.86) recorded higher mean scores in comparison to the control group (M = 80.53, SD = 15.48). This finding provides empirical evidence to suggest AV as an effective technology-supported pedagogy in improving Arabic vocabulary acquisition. The implication of this research informs other important stakeholders, particularly educational technologists and curriculum experts, to advance the application of AV in creating meaningful digital content for learning the Arabic language
Video-Based Ice Breaker Game In The Department of Arabic Language Education
Authors: Taufiqurrochman R. , Saeed Rana Hafiz Ahmed
Published: January 2022

Online and distance learning leads to reduced student motivation, boredom, and reduced levels of understanding. The solution to solve this problem is ice breaker-based video. In Arabic learning, ice breaker video content is not found much because ice breakers are usually practiced for offline learning. Therefore, ice breakers are required in videos for online learning by producing them in large quantities. This study aims to describe the results of a review of ice breaker-based videos that have been successfully designed by students in the Department of Arabic Language Education. It is a mixture of quantitative and qualitative approaches. With qualitative content analysis, it is known that students successfully produce Arabic-language ice breaker-based videos that are of good quality from the aspect of content, themes, and teaching materials for all levels of education, from children to adults. This video can be applied independently or under the guidance of a classroom teacher. The success of students in producing ice breaker-based videos is because the Arabic education curriculum has accommodated elective courses called Games, Songs, and Stories so that students are equipped with teaching skills and the ability to become content creators.
Subject-Related As A Significant Demotivating Factor For Non-Muslim Learners Of Arabic As A Foreign Language
Authors: Aladdin Ashinida
Published: January 2022

The main objective of this paper is to answer the following questions: a) In subject-related matters, what are the fundamental factors that demotivate non-Muslim learners from learning Arabic? Moreover,; b) How can Arabic language educators encourage Arabic learners to become more motivated to learn the language? An open-ended questionnaire was distributed to 207 respondents in order to investigate the demotivating factors among non-Muslim Arabic learners. In addition, semi-structured interviews with 20 respondents were used to conduct an in-depth investigation of the factors that demotivated Arabic learners regarding subject-related matters. Based on the respondents' elaboration on the issues raised, the researcher explored the underlying patterns of thinking that go beyond the surface level through the analysis of these data obtained using the two types of instruments. According to the study's findings, the main demotivating factor of subject-related matters is the Arabic language. The Arabic language was difficult to learn from the pronunciation, then the writing system and spelling (orthography). And its diacritics after that grammar and vocabulary memorization. In other words, the students are demotivated from learning because of the complexity of the language in general.

Published: January 2022

The outbreak of the Covid-19 compelled the education sector to teach remotely. This study attempts to investigate the translation strategies used by Arabic-speaking students in EFL Saudi during online learning. The study used a questionnaire to gather the data. The participants of the study were the 120 EFL learners who majored in English at the PSU. The participant's language is Arabic to find the Phenomenon of Arabic-English Translation of Foreign Language. SPSS was used to analyze the data. The findings are encouraging. And supportive for Arabic-English translation of Foreign Language classes in online teaching. Participants used numerous translation strategies during online learning. They expressed a wide range of opinions about translation to help them in the online learning environment. The outcome demonstrates that they feel one must be immersed in an English-speaking environment for some time before thinking fluently in English. The translation was the most often utilized tool by Saudi EFL students to learn English words and phrases, write, and read English during online learning. The translation had no negative impact on participants' EFL learning. Arabic-English Translation helped in the comprehension of the subject as it is lareners’ mother tongue. Also, it is supported tremendously in EFL learning

Цель исследования ‒ сравнительный анализ концентрации эссенциальных макро- и микроэлементов в сыворотке крови детей с тиками и синдромом дефицита внимания и гиперактивности (СДВГ) для выявления характерных нарушений, способных вносить вклад в коморбидность между СДВГ и тиками. Обследовано 113 детей в возрасте от 6 до 18 лет, из которых 50 имели диагноз СДВГ; у 25 обследуемых диагностированы тики, 38 здоровых детей составили контрольную группу. Определение уровня эссенциальных макро- и микроэлементов в сыворотке крови осуществлялось методом масс-спектрометрии с индуктивно-связанной плазмой. Установлено, что сывороточная концентрация кальция и магния у пациентов с СДВГ была ниже контрольных значений на 7% (p < 0,001) и 4% (p = 0,028) соответственно. Среди пациентов с тиками отмечалась тенденция к повышению уровня ванадия на 27% (p = 0,070) при сравнении с контролем. Общим для детей с СДВГ и тиками являлось достоверное увеличение сывороточной концентрации марганца, составляющее 29% (p = 0,001) и 22% (p = 0,043) соответственно, по сравнению с контрольными показателями. Таким образом, результаты проведенного исследования позволяют предположить, что нарушение обмена марганца, сопровождающееся повышением его системного уровня, может являться связующим звеном между СДВГ и тиками. В то же время для проверки данной гипотезы необходимы более детальные исследования, включающие оценку состояния марганец-зависимых патогенетических путей, а также лонгитюдные исследования, направленные на оценку взаимосвязи между воздействием марганца и развитием СДВГ и тиков у детей.

Ямало-Ненецкий автономный округ (север Тюменской области), входит в Арктическую зону Российской Федерации и является местом проживания коренного (ненцы, селькупы, ханты и др.) и некоренного (большей частью славянские народы) населения. Мощная промышленность российской Арктики включает в себя нефтегазовый комплекс, золотодобычу и цветную металлургию. Человек – одно из звеньев пищевой цепочки, получает химические элементы с водой и пищей, что является одной из причин поступления токсичных химических элементов, в частности свинца и кадмия, в организм в результате загрязнения среды обитания. Цель работы – проведение сравнительной оценки интоксикации свинца и кадмия некоренного и аборигенного населения Ямало-Ненецкого автономного округа. Обследовано 173 взрослых жителя ЯНАО: группа некоренного населения, более 10 лет проживающего на Севере, – 92 человека, 40 (43,5%) мужчин и 52 (56,5%) женщины; группа коренного населения – 81 человек: 33(40,7%) мужчин и 48(59,3%) женщин (38,3±9,6 лет). Содержание химических элементов в волосах определяли с использованием методов АСП-ИСП и МС-ИСП. Установлено, что средние величины содержания токсикантов в волосах у взрослого аборигенного населения ЯНАО превышали аналогичные показатели у некоренных жителей: кадмия – в 1,7 раза (р = 0,030) в сочетании с незначительным превышением свинца; показатели обеспеченности организма кальцием почти в 1,6 раза оказались выше в группе взрослых некоренных жителей Севера (р < 0,001) по сравнению с подобными значениями в группе аборигенов; превышение референтных величин как свинца, так и кадмия среди взрослых аборигенов ЯНАО наблюдался более чем в 2 раза чаще, независимо от гендерных различий; у мужчин аборигенов соотношение биоэлементов к своим функциональным антагонистам оказалось значимо лучше аналогичных показателей в группе некоренных жителей: по свинцу более чем в 1,6, а по кадмию – более чем в 8 раз.

Загрязнение среды проживания является весомым фактором, приводящим к подрыву здоровья коренных жителей Севера. Данная проблема появилась в связи с добычей в арктических территориях россыпных алмазов и разработкой месторождения редкоземельных металлов. Цель работы – сравнительный анализ установленных показателей элементного статуса долган между полами, выявление зависимости от возраста, сопоставление с другими популяциями по литературным данным. В исследование вошли 107 коренных жителей Севера, относящиеся к этнической группе долган, проживающие в п. Юрюнг-Хая Республики Саха (Якутия). Методом масс-спектрометрии (ISP-MS) изучены содержание в сыворотке крови 13 элементов (P, Sc, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Cs, Pb). Исследование выявило в сыворотке долган повышенное содержание макроэлемента фосфора (148 мг/л) и микроэлементов – хрома (277 мкг/л), марганца (133 мкг/л), железа (5219 мкг/л), никеля (57 мкг/л), что может повлиять на развитие заболеваний у аборигенных жителей Арктики при условиях промышленного освоения территорий.

Published: January 2022

In this work we present three poems written by Carlos Montemayor that are part of Las armas del viento and which were suppressed in the final version: “Oda primera”, “Oda tercera” and “Oda cuarta”. The work went through thirty years rewriting process: from 1977 to 1997. Each of the editions offer changes that reflect the critical exercise. In this edition, we have decided to use the positive system for the incorporation of the variants in the critical apparatus. We conducted a study that contextualizes Montemayor’s poetry and exemplifies some of the changes.
DEMENTIA SCREENING IN OLDER PEOPLE IN TANGERANG

Published: January 2022

Early recognition of dementia syndrome can result in earlier intervention, thus earlier prevention and better management of dementia. However, there is a difficulty with instruments to screen for dementia in developing country. Low education, illiteracy and innumeracy of the ageing population may be screened positive for dementia. The Rowland Universal Dementia Screening Assessment Scale (RUDAS) was developed for cognitive function measurement for multi-cultural population with strong reliability and validity and had been validated in countries across the world. However, the literatures had reported no dementia screening studies with the use of the RUDAS in the Indonesian community. This study was the first study to screen for dementia utilising the Rowland Universal Dementia Assessment in the Indonesian community, which was undertaken in 2016 in Bencongan Indah, a subdistrict of a city in Banten. This was a descriptive study to screen for dementia using the RUDAS in the Indonesian community. Data was collected using purposive sampling with inclusion criteria: adults age 60 and over, Indonesian-speaking participants, there was no apparent acute illness that could affect the performance of the test. The validity and reliability of the RUDAS were assessed prior to the main study on 35 participants who had similar characteristics with the study respondents. The Indonesian version of the RUDAS instrument was assessed for validity and reliability prior to the main study. This study showed that out of 60 elderly respondents of 60-74 years old in the study, half (50%) had mild to moderate cognitive impairment, as scored 22-26 on the RUDAS. However, the study lacked investigation of demographic factors affecting the RUDAS performance. Recommendations Further study validating the use of the Indonesian version of the RUDAS is warranted.

Population of elderly worldwide is growing rapidly include ing in Indonesia. This triggers increased health issues such as depression. But, the literature is lacking on more evidence on age as the risk factors of elderly depression. Hence the study aimed to investigate age as one of the risk factors for elderly depression. The purpose of this study was to compare depression levels between two life-stage subgroups: young-old (65-74 years old) and old-old (75-84 years old) group at nursing home in Banten area. This was a quantitative study with comparative cross-sectional design, which included a total of 40 elderly respondents. Data was analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test The study results showed that there was no significant difference on depression level between the two life-stage subgroups (p-value= 0.381).One possible factors which effected the study results may be protective factors such as family supports, socioeconomics status, engeagement in social activities and religious or spiritula involvement. The further research needed to explore more on the risk factors and protective factors related to elderly depression.

Fatigue is a symptom that arises from cancer and as a result of chemotherapy treatment. This subjective feeling is difficult to explore because of the children's limitations to express their feelings. Continuous fatigue will affect the growth and development of children, so that adequate anticipation is needed to manage fatigue. This literature review aimed to explore articles about physical exercise as the part of fatigue management. The searching process involved two databases; the e-resources page of the National Library of the Republic of Indonesia and Google Scholar in the 2011-2018 period. Keywords used in literature search include children, physiology related to cancer, physical exercise, exercise, children, cancer related fatigue, physical activity, exercise. 243 articles obtained and through selection process, 5 articles were found that were in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Thematic analysis revealed four themes: the effectiveness of physical exercise, the characteristics of physical exercise, the extra benefits of physical exercise, and the biological effects of physical exercise. The recommendation from this literature review is to conduct research to identify the factors that influence the effectiveness of physical exercise in managing symptoms of fatigue in children with cancer.

Let’s think, and all we four ...” (Reasoning as a linguo-pedagogical method and an element of poetics in the story of L.A. Yartsova “The Inexhaustible Purse”)
Authors:   Tampere University, Zelenin Alexandr V. , Rudnev Dmitry V. ,   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia
Published: January 2022

Heated debates about the methods of teaching children their native language, about understanding the differences between the types of texts as a mechanism and a product of mental activity were inextricably linked with the deep transformation of Russian society in the second half of the 19th century. A significant strengthening of monetary and financial relations in a changing society, and, as a result, the penetration of money into family communication became an urgent educational issue for children’s literature. L.A. Yartsova in her story “The Inexhaustible Purse” (1861) innovatively revealed the theme of money in the life of a child, using the functional-semantic type of speech “reasoning”. Different types of reasoning (refutation, inference, confirmation, justification) are used in the story as a tool of poetics and didactics. The story is structured as a cycle of meaningfully unrelated stories-reasoning, in which a mother and her three children of different ages independently seek rational-logical and lexical-syntactic arguments to reveal the metaphor-task “inexhaustible purse”. The linguo-didactic aspect of Yartsova’s story lies in the fact that in the process of writing stories-reasoning (the function of writing in literature lessons), children master the method of constructing reasoning and linguistic forms for its implementation (educational-target function). The stories represent a gradational-hierarchical ascent to the concept of money: from the limited by age and personality (the reasoning of children) to the socially significant, synthesized in the reasoning of the mother. Yartsova’s use of reasoning as a way of constructing a children’s story testifies to the penetration in the 19th century of elements of scientific speech into other speech systems, including the language of children’s fiction.
The literary journal of Arseny Alving “Zhatva” or About one forgotten edition of the Silver Age
Authors:   Blagoveshchensk State Pedagogical University, Smykovskaya Tatyana E.
Published: January 2022

The paper is devoted to the literary magazine “Zhatva” which was published in Moscow from 1911 to 1916. Its creator and editor was a talented poet, critic and translator Arseny Alving. The tragic fate of Alving, who was repressed in 1933, did not make “Zhatva” possible to take a firm place among the outstanding periodicals of the first quarter of the 20th century. The magazine, as well as the poet, was forgotten and did not come in view of literary critics. This research paper makes the first attempt to restore the history of “Zhatva”, to characterize its aesthetic program, to outline the circle of writers grouped around the periodical. The six-year existence of the journal testifies to the constant creative search of the editor. “Zhatva”, initially presented as a literary album, existed in different genre guises (from an almanac to a literary herald), varied the composition and differed in content tolerance towards the representatives of certain artistic movements. “Zhatva” had a branched structure, the literary department published such masters of the word as A. Akhmatova, K. Balmont, V. Bryusov, S. Gorodetsky, M. Kuzmin, A. Kuprin, A. Remizov and many others. Although he was a poet, Alving strove for a balance between lyrical and prosaic material. The latter material often prevailed in the magazine. The critical section was especially popular among the writers and readers. Alving himself often published his articles there. The literary works and the criticism of the magazine give a volumetric idea of the literature of the early twentieth century as of a living, dynamic system where the literary dominants of the era were developed and the great reputation of the writers, who were declared as the classics of the Silver Age decades later, was being formed.
The cumulative fabula model in A. Radcliffe’s “The Haunted Chamber”
Authors:   Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University, Burtseva Marina A.
Published: January 2022

The article examines the fabula of the Ann Radcliffe’s story “The Haunted Chamber” using the cumulative model of plot composition. The following elements are consistently distinguished: the exposition: the hero preparing for an overnight stay in the uninhabited wing of the Castle of Udolpho; the cumulation of events, including the storyline of Count Morano with two implicit (the discovery of a funeral pall and a dispute on the nature of supernatural) and one explicit (mysterious music in the castle corridors) contacts with inexplicable phenomena, as well as the Ludovico’s storyline with a series of mystical events: from a strange noise in the haunted chamber to a ghostly face appearing behind an armchair. The final catastrophe is made by the disappearance of Ludovico from the locked room and failed attempts to find him. An “old Provencal folktale” takes a special place in the narration; it also follows the cumulative fabula scheme, but ends with a favorable outcome. The analytical study of the Ann Radcliffe's story “The Haunted Chamber” using the universal cumulative model of plot composition allows, on the one hand, to consider it in the context of the genre tradition, namely, the aesthetics of the School of Terror and on the other — to reveal its artistic originality in full.
MOTIVATIONS TO FORM A MAJORITY COALITION OF CANDIDATES MACHFUD ARIFIN AND MUJIMAN IN THE SURABAYA CITY ELECTION IN 2020
Authors: Yaqin Moh Ainul
Published: January 2022

The formation of a coalition of political parties in the regional head election is an interesting phenomenon to be studied, as was the case in the 2020 Surabaya City Election. The process of forming a coalition of political parties with the majority supporters of Machfud Arifin – Mujiaaman. Thus, this study analyzes the process of forming political party coalitions in the 2020 Surabaya City Election. This study uses Geoffrey Pridham's motivational theory of coalition formation regarding the factors that can influence the formation of political party coalitions, political coalition theory by William Riker which emphasizes (minimum winning) coalition) and rational choice theory to see the basic interests of the actors in determining the coalition. This study uses a qualitative approach, with interview data collection techniques and documentation studies. The findings of this study indicate that the process of forming a coalition supporting Machfud Arifin – Mujiaman begins with a strategic discourse between Gerindra, PKB, PAN, NasDem, PPP, Golkar, Democrats, and PKS which is oriented towards a tactical orientation to subvert the dominance of PDIP power in Surabaya. These parties basically have the same spirit because post-reform Surabaya has always been dominated by leaders from the PDIP. Machfud Arifin is considered a potential candidate because he has the financial strength, political networks, and inter-party lobbying in building coalition partners. Machfud Arifin became a trigger in the process of forming the coalition. In the process, horizontal-vertical dynamics occurred, because each party encouraged its cadres to become Machfud Arifin's companion. Thus, theoretically, the process of forming a coalition supporting Machfud Arifin - Mujiaman is influenced by three basic things, namely ideological factors which are the initial thoughts of the majority party which emphasizes leadership renewal, then the historical party that has existed since before 2020 elections were held and finally pragmatic factors ambition to gain power by merging eight political parties. In addition, political actors carry Machfud Arifin with rational choices, that first is the electability survey number, financial capital, and political network owned by the candidate. The coalition is dynamic, so it requires the same commitment and vision, as well as conflict management mechanisms to maintain the integrity of the coalition of political parties.
Habitat-specific densities of urban brushtail possums
Authors: Patterson Charlotte , Seddon Philip , Wilson Deborah , van Heezik Yolanda
Published: January 2022

Invasive mammalian pests threaten biodiversity globally across a diverse range of habitats. The unique combination of resource subsidies and disturbance in cities can provide favourable conditions for invasion. Recent interest in urban biodiversity enhancement has increased the demand for effective urban pest control, but efforts are often hampered by a lack of understanding of the ecology of urban invasive mammals. The Australian common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) has invaded most New Zealand landscapes, including urban areas, and is a nationally significant pest species. Recent shifts in national pest control and conservation priorities demand an assessment of the capacity for urban areas to harbour possum populations. We estimated the density of possums across three representative habitat types within the city of Dunedin, New Zealand: an urban forest fragment and two residential areas of varying vegetation quality. Possums were live-trapped and camera-trapped over eight days at each site in late summer to early autumn. Spatially explicit capture-recapture methods were used to estimate density at each site, and “minimum number alive” estimates were also calculated. Our estimate suggests that the forest fragment supported possums at a density (3.1 ha−1) capable of inflicting harm on resident native wildlife, but this density was low compared with non-urban estimates in the same forest type, suggesting a possible influence of disturbance from human activity in and around the fragment. Few possums were caught at the two residential sites (0.1 ha−1 at each), and behavioural avoidance may have reduced capture success there. Our estimates confirm that urban areas are an important habitat for possums, and our study provides the first rigorous estimates of urban possum density, which can be incorporated into predictive modelling and other methods of control planning.
Direct Interaction of Mitochondrial Cytochrome c Oxidase with Thyroid Hormones: Evidence for Two Binding Sites
Authors: Oleynikov Ilya P. , Azarkina Natalia V. , Vygodina Tatiana V.
Published: January 2022

Thyroid hormones regulate tissue metabolism establishing an energy balance in the cell, in particular by affecting oxidative phosphorylation. Their long-term impact is mainly associated with changes in gene expression, while the short-term effects may differ in mechanism. Our work is devoted to short-term effects of hormones T2, T3, and T4 on mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) mediated by a direct contact with the enzyme. The data obtained indicate the existence of two separate sites of CcO interaction with thyroid hormones differing in location, affinity and specificity to hormone binding. It is shown that T3 and T4 but not T2 inhibit oxidase activity of CcO in solution and on membrane preparations with Кi≈100–200 M. In solution, T3 and T4 compete in a 1:1 ratio with the detergent dodecyl-maltoside for binding to the enzyme. Peroxidase and catalase partial activities of CcO are not sensitive to hormones while electron transfer from heme a to the oxidized binuclear center is affected. We believe that T3 and T4 are ligands of the Bile Acid Binding Site found in the 3D structure of CсO by Ferguson-Miller’s group, and hormone induced inhibition is associated with dysfunction of the K- proton channel. Similar conclusion we made recently with regard to steroid-like compounds. It is found that T2, T3, and T4 inhibit superoxide generation by oxidized CcO in the presence of excess Н2О2. Inhibition is characterized by Ki values of 0.3 – 5 M and apparently affects the formation of О2• at the protein surface. The second binding site for thyroid hormones presumably coincides with the point of tight T2 binding on the Va subunit described in the literature.

Published: January 2022

Drought events are predicted to become more prevalent in the future. Evaluating the performance of herbicide-resistant and susceptible weed ecotypes to progressive drought can provide insights into whether resistance trait(s) increased or reduced the fitness of a resistant population. Two experiments were conducted in the greenhouse between January and May 2021 to evaluate drought tolerance differences between Palmer amaranth accessions resistant to S-metolachlor or glyphosate and their susceptible counterparts. The accessions used were: S-metolachlor-resistant (17TUN-A), a susceptible standard (09CRW-A), and glyphosate-resistant (22 to 165 EPSPS copies) and glyphosate-susceptible (3 to 10 EPSPS copies) plants from accession 16CRW-D. Daily transpiration of each plant was measured. The daily transpiration rate was converted to normalized transpiration ratio (NTR) using a double-normalization procedure. The daily soil water content was expressed as a fraction of transpirable soil water (FTSW). The threshold FTSW (FTSWcr), after which NTR decreases linearly, was estimated using a two-segment linear regression analysis. The data showed differences between S-metolachlor- resistant and -susceptible accessions (P ≤ 0.05). The FTSW remaining in the soil at the breakpoint for the S-metolachlor-susceptible accession (09CRW-A) was 0.17±0.007. The FTSW remaining in the soil at the breakpoint for the S-metolachlor-resistant accession (17TUN-A) was 0.23±0.004. Although the mechanism endowing resistance to S-metolachlor might have contributed to increased drought tolerance, follow-up experiments are needed to verify this finding. Increased EPSPS copy number did not improve drought tolerance of Palmer amaranth.

Water resources are under pressure because of human activities. Its management faces the challenge of enhancing long-term water security while minimizing undesirable economic, social, and environmental impacts along with its production chain. Since water and wastewater treatment plants are designed to maintain and conserve freshwater provisioning services, it is paramount to understand how it operates before proposing options for sustainability. At this point, the diagnosis phase claims for methods scientifically-based, systemic, and more objective to provide information for decision-makers towards strategic management of water resources. This work applies the five-sector sustainability model (5SenSu) to assess Brazil's twenty major water and wastewater treatment companies (WWTC) to quantify their sustainability levels that allow ranking procedures and the establishment of benchmarks for improvements. Under comparative basis, results identified the top-three sustainable companies, CORSAN, CASAN, and SANEPAR, which should be considered examples of best practices. Specifically, the following best-ranked companies in each sector within 5SenSu should be used as benchmark patterns for more oriented best practices: SANEAGO, sector 1; AGESISA, sector 2; CORSAN, sector 3; CASAL, sector 4; MA, sector 5. This work contributes to the advancement in modeling sustainability assessment of human-managed systems (applied in WWTCs in this present study) from a systemic and epistemologically rooted approach, avoiding shortcomings and misleading discussions on the sustainability issue. Quantifying sustainability of WWTCS from 5SenSu allows the identification of those sectors/indicators that requires immediate cleaner production practices by decision-makers to improve overall sustainability, besides identifying those companies more aligned with the requirements of UN SDGs.

This pot-based study investigated the influence of co-composted wood-derived biochar on lettuce growth performance under salinity and drought stress conditions. Biochar of two particle sizes; > 2 mm and < 1 mm were co-composted with the mixture (1:1 ratio of dry weight) of cow and poultry manures. Co-composted biochars were applied at 5% and 7% rates in soil. Control treatments included the amendment of mixture of biochar with manure in soil. Pots were subjected to slight drought (48-55% water filled pore space (WFPS) of soil) and non-drought conditions (60% WFPS) and under 0 and 1.3 dS m-1 salinity. Results revealed that plants growth performance was significantly better under treatments of co-composted biochar and no salt stress conditions, than when mixture of biochar and manure was applied to soil as non-composted fertilizer. Under no stress condition, small particle-sized co-composted biochar increased root biomass by 786.2% than the large particle-sized co-composted biochar at same application rate. As compared to large-sized co-composted biochar, small sized co-composted biochar at high application rates increased root biomass by 167 – 245% but not leaf biomass under both stress conditions. Small particle-sized co-composted biochar amendment also increased the phosphorus use efficiency (PUE) of lettuce leaves than large particle-sized co-composted biochar under no stress condition. The amendment of small-sized co-composted biochar also increased significantly the concentration of Olsen phosphorus in soil than the amendment of large-particle-sized co-composted biochar. In conclusion, amendment of small particle-sized co-composted biochar has the potential of attenuating salinity and drought stress in lettuce and promoting P cycling in soil.

There has been a long and interesting discussion between those who maintain that the state determines the law and those who defend that it is the right that does it, reaching the point of identifying them. On this occasion, this article makes an analysis of the way in which the State and its structural conformations affect administrative law based on the forms adopted in the German, French and Spanish legal systems. It is clear, at least for the Colombian legal system, that administrative law has a strong antecedent in France; for this reason, the State structure adopted in said country has had a clear influence on the normative regulations to which the administration’s activity is subject; to this extent, the decentralized unitary state form exerts a clear influence on this branch of public law. But the other forms of State, such as the federal and the autonomous, also exert notorious influence on the normative regulations of administrative law; even more so in the institutions that make it up as the cornerstone of these legal systems, because the substantial aspects in one way or another end up being identical. In effect, the notions of Administration, sovereignty, public power, public prerogatives, functions of the state, among others, are very similar, perhaps not identical, in the three forms of state and therefore, in the three legal systems, as well as the structures that make it up have marked differences, because one is a decentralized unitary state, the other is a federal state and the third is an autonomous state; but all of them in what corresponds to administrative action, they do so through a mechanism that in our concept is identical to all of them, such as the administrative act.

This article analyzes the land restitution process, which is characterized by a systematic phenomenon of patrimonial loss suffered by victims in their property subject to registration. All of this, due to the modalities used by both natural persons and legal entities, linked to the effects of dispossession, together with the various consequences that are generated by such virtue, such as in cases of forced displacement to cities in Colombia. In this sense, it is possible to notice that initially this aspect is reflected in the peasant victims of violence, which through a diaspora phenomenon extends to all types of social phenomenon. Likewise, it is intended to identify, if from the phenomenon, the legal instruments are sufficient to demonstrate the responsibility of both natural and legal persons that are associated with the phenomenon of dispossession.

Published: January 2022

Competitiveness is a concern for all economic agents and even for an entire society due to its relationship with economic development, increased production, and employment. The paper offers an overview of the main theories from the comparative advantage to the theories of competitive advantage and the new theories of competitiveness and international trade. The qualitative/ quantitative method was used with a documentary analysis technique from secondary sources of information. It concludes that constant returns and perfect competition determine competitiveness in traditional theories, whereas increasing returns and imperfect competition characterize competitiveness in the new approaches.

Even though in Argentina, Brazil and Chile, after a left ́s predominance in the executive, right-wing politicians were elected in the most recent elections, in Brazil this turn brought to power Jair Bolsonaro, a politician close to the far- right. What explains this result in the Brazilian case? The authors conclude that, although in all three cases there is evidence of a crisis of democratic values, in Brazil there is also a deep decline in support for the political system and a rejection of traditional political parties. In this sense, Bolsonaro does not represent an ideological change among the population. It is, rather, a response against the system, not a transit in the value system.

At this time, the library visitor access system uses manual filling of visitor lists, so it is not efficient. With this, the library room access system can use RFID so that visitors' data can be well structured. The design of this library room access system tool uses the Nodemcu esp8266 microcontroller. This tool works when the RFID tag provides input to the RFID reader and the existing data will be processed by the microcontroller to determine whether the ID data has been registered or not. If already registered, the data will immediately go to the visitor list according to the existing ID, whereas if not registered, it will enter the new member registration to fill in new member data, namely by filling in the number, name, gender and ID number. The result of the work of this tool is that the tool can work properly and RFID can read ID when the RFID tag and library room access systems can run properly. This tool is expected to make it easier for library visitors to fill in the visitor list without having to write it on a paper.
