Published: September 2021

Snake envenomation is considered a public health problem in tropical countries, where they occur in a high incidence. The present study reports the snake envenomation that occurred in Mato Grosso do Sul state (Brazil) between 2007 and 2017. Epidemiological data were obtained from the online platform of the Notification Disease Information System and were analyzed according to biome. A total of 5568 cases of snake envenomations were recorded during the study period, where the highest frequency was registered between October and April. The majority of envenomations occurred in working-age males (20 to 39 years), caused mainly by Bothrops snakes, and the duration of care after the envenomation in most cases took three hours. The municipalities that showed the highest snake envenomations case per 100,000 inhabitants presents low population density, and have their economy based on agricultural activity, which is a risk factor to snake envenomations. To the Mato Grosso do Sul state, the total number of snake envenomations had a positive relationship with the size of the municipality. Since this, larger areas usually have a mosaic of environments, which may harbor higher richness and abundance of snakes, and can cause more snake encounters with the population, resulting in more snake envenomations.
Is self-determination good for your effectiveness? A study of factors which influence performance within self-determination theory
Authors: Szulawski Michał , Kaźmierczak Izabela , Prusik Monika
Published: September 2021

Despite the vast body of studies within self-determination theory, the impact of factors which influence performance in experimental paradigm is still underresearched. The aim of the two studies presented in this paper was to investigate the impact of basic psychological needs on performance with the simultaneous presence of external incentives. Study 1 tested whether the satisfaction of competence and relatedness during task performance (while external incentives were present) can impact individual’s performance. Study 2, on the other hand, investigated whether the basic psychological needs and provision of external incentives can impact an individual’s performance. Moreover, in both studies the mechanisms behind the need–performance relationship was checked. Our results showed that out of the three basic needs, competence had the strongest positive impact on performance, which was partially mediated by the subjective evaluation of the levels of difficulty and intrinsic motivation. The weak relationship between relatedness and task performance was fully mediated by the level of intrinsic motivation.

Published: September 2021

Current approach for the detection of cancer is based on identifying genetic mutations typical to tumor cells. This approach is effective only when cancer has already emerged, however, it might be in a stage too advanced for effective treatment. Cancer is caused by the continuous accumulation of mutations; is it possible to measure the time-dependent information of mutation accumulation and predict the emergence of cancer? We hypothesize that the mutation history derived from the tandem repeat regions in blood-derived DNA carries information about the accumulation of the cancer driver mutations in other tissues. To validate our hypothesis, we computed the mutation histories from the tandem repeat regions in blood-derived exomic DNA of 3874 TCGA patients with different cancer types and found a statistically significant signal with specificity ranging from 66% to 93% differentiating Glioblastoma patients from other cancer patients. Our approach and findings offer a new direction for future cancer prediction and early cancer detection based on information derived from blood-derived DNA.
IoT terminal security assessment system based on improved assessment method
Authors: Liu Zhe , Jin Zehao , Shangguan Chenhan
Published: September 2021

The Internet of Things (IoT) technology is widely used and has been improved in research. However, due to the extensiveness of IoT technology, the heterogeneity and diversity of the device structure, the number of attacks against IoT has increased dramatically, so we need a method that can effectively and actively determine safety. Considering the diversity of the terminal structure of IoT, a security method for the IoT terminal based on structural balance, method objectivity, and reliability is currently a challenging task. This paper introduces the idea of rate of change in mathematics into trust analysis, and forms three attribute sets based on trust interval and rate of change: discrete interval, change range, and change frequency. By calculating the above attributes of the entity’s trust value, the entity’s trust situation is obtained, and an overall assessment of the terminal entity’s trust situation is made from the three levels of completeness, accuracy and objectivity. Under the premise of reducing encryption and other means, the above method can evaluate the trust state of the IoT terminal from the perspective of the data, and this evaluation method can provide a basis for the judgment of the IoT terminal more objectively and accurately.

Authors: Malygina Eleanor
Published: September 2021

The article is devoted to the problem of linguo-translational research of pedagogical (school) interpersonal communication, reproduced in a fragment of the text of O. Kamaeva's novel " Christmas Tree. From school with love, or The Teacher's Diary." The methodology is based on the parameter of the two-dimensional linguoevocation study of the text. The primary plan is subordinated to the category of evocativeness of a literary text. An important place belongs to the means of reproducing the model of pedagogical communication as a product of evocation. The description of the model of the depicted interpersonal interaction is made according to the parameters of the  verbal communication act proposed by B. Y. Gorodetsky. The secondary plan of studying pedagogical communication is related to the category of interpretativeness of the text. The results of the study, obtained in the course of the linguistic-evocation description of interpersonal communication of the primary plan, allow the reader to see the components of the object of interpretation, to establish the relationship between the problem of the teacher's speech image and the process of effectuating the interaction of characters.
Realia (culturally specific lexical units) as «ours» and «theirs» in rapper Oxxxymiron’s texts
Authors: Bugrysheva Ekaterina , Moiseev Andrey
Published: September 2021

The article deals with domestic and foreign realia (considered as culturally specific units) in the song lyrics by the rapper called Oxxxymiron. The paper starts with the definition of realia, specified according to the authors’ point of view. The research is concentrated on the comparison of the classifications of «our» and «their» culturally specific units in the Russian rapper’s creative texts. The hypothesis consists in the assumption that foreign realia prevail in the singer’s lyrics. The lexical units under discussion are divided into eleven classes: geographical names; words referring to science, art and the media; names of historical events; realia naming various organizations etc. The charts with a detailed quantitative analysis of the selected realia are presented in the article. The results of the qualitative analysis of the considered lexical units are given in the concluding part. The authors form the opinion that the formulated hypothesis proves right. Thorough research into the song lyrics marked with realia is considered to facilitate a better understanding of the cultural component in these songs, as well as the influence of the author’s personality on their creative product.

The article presents the results of analysis of the variability of 23 allozyme loci in 10 populations of Siberian Stone pine. Populations from South Siberia mountain regions had higher percentage of polymorphic loci in averageand mean number of alleles per loci (P99% = 44,57 %, NA = 1,543 ± 0,014) compared to Ural populations (P99%=29,57%,NA = 1,348 ± 0,015). The average values of the observed and expected heterozygosity in the populations of the Altai-Sayan (HO = 0,087 ±0,007 and HE = 0,090 ± 0,004) and the Ural mountain region (HO = 0,083 ± 0,008 и HE = 0,082 ± 0,005)were close. About 8.4% of the total genetic diversity is due to differences between the studied populations. The results ofmultidimensional data analysis confirm the existence of the Altai-Sayan and Ural refugia in the post-glacial period andthe dispersal of Siberian stone pine to the North from the Ural glacier refugium.
The results of cherry species (Prunus L.) alien pollination in connection with the possibility of agamosperm reproduction
Authors: Mochalova O. V
Published: September 2021

Agamosperm (asexual) reproduction, along with conventional sexual reproduction, is quite widespread inthe Rosaceae Juss. family. It provides several advantages for successful seed progeny reproduction in unfavorable natural conditions. Remote hybridization and polyploidy are genetic mechanisms, which favor to the development of seedswithout fertilization. For species of stone plants, in the phylogeny of which these two factors play a decisive role, it is important to assess the possibility of the presence of a pseudogamous type of apomixes, which requires the obligatory pollenapplication on the stigma for seed development. The aim of the investigation was to study the results of alien pollinationfor 4 wild and cultivated cherries (Prunus pensylvanica L., P. maackii Rupr., P. fruticosa Pall., P. cerasus L.) in connection with the prospect of including the agamosperm genotypes in breeding crosses. The possibility of pseudogamous reproduction was revealed only for wild P. fruticosa.

Authors: Kopányi Tamás
Published: September 2021

Az értékmaximalizáló döntések megalapozásához olyan információk szükségesek, melyek megkívánják a modern integrált vállalatirányítási rendszerek (ERP1 rendszerek) alkalmazását. Ugyanakkor pusztán az ERP rendszerek alkalmazása nem biztosítja, hogy a vállalat értékmaximalizáló módon működjön, mivel a vállalatok sok esetben nem használják ki e rendszerek képességeit. E tanulmány arra keres választ, hogy miként segíthetik elő az ERP rendszerek az értékmaximalizáló vezetést, és a gyakorlati alkalmazás során mik a legfőbb okok, amelyek megakadályozzák az ERP szoftverekben rejlő lehetőségek kihasználását. Javaslatot tesz a szerző arra is, hogyan lehetne javítani a jelenlegi gyakorlaton.

Authors: Tangarife Escobar Héctor Iván , Galvis Loaiza Oscar Mauricio
Published: September 2021

In this study, a fuzzy-based PLC temperature control system was designed and implemented on a craft beer production plant. At present, the temperature-related controls of small-scale plants in Colombia are based on On/Off models, which are not very stable in the preparation of craft beer, which generates significant changes in flavor, scent and texture. Therefore, it is intended to incorporate into the craft beer industry, solutions that guarantee repeatability, minimize costs and potentiate production, for this, a three-stage fuzzy control model is carried out: design, implementation and start up; This is how a study of the plant´s dynamics is carried out, the response is determined from the data, a fuzzy controller is designed by using Matlab software, and a graphical interface in LabView for data capture and storage. The controller demonstrates stability in relation to the temperature variable, which provides repeatability and significant energy savings. Finally, it is concluded that the controller proved to be robust against major disturbances and stable at different temperatures, being a useful tool for efficiently controlling the variable.
"Discourse construction of the reign of Roman emperors Augustus and Nero by Suetonius"
Authors:   Faculty of Philosophy Sarajevo, Brkan Seada
Published: September 2021

The subject of this article will be the analysis of the application of two modern linguistic approaches to the ancient text. It is about M. Halliday's systemic functional linguistics (SFL) and critical discourse analysis (CDA) through whose patterns we will analyze Suetonius' account of two Roman emperors, Augustus and Nero. Since the language is a strong link between SFL as a linguistic approach and CDA, a movement that unites several different disciplines, including linguistic ones, focused on social change, this article will try to shed light on the role, connection and effectiveness of SFL and CDA in a biographical presentation of a personalities. Critical discourse analysis defines language as a social practice, an essential component of creating social relations and changing them; therefore, it focuses on the language in use - discourse, and analyzes it within the broader social, political, historical, cultural and any other context in which it is realized.
Evaluation of proteome complexes normalizing osmoregulation in salt stressed Luffa acutangula (L.) Roxb.
Authors: Mala P , Pramodkumar P G , Sunita S , Debjani D
Published: September 2021

Modern-day agriculture is facing the challenge of sustaining global food security. However, the rapid increase in salinity stress among arable areas poses a major threat to crop health and yield. Salinity stress is one of the most common and rapidly spreading stress that has a detrimental effect on the productivity of edible plant family i.e. Cucurbitaceae. The present study endeavors to evaluate the Osmoregulators (anti-oxidants and proteins), that supports the growth of two varieties of Luffa acutangula (L.) Roxb. under salt stress. The 2-3 weeks old saplings were exposed to salt stress (up to 200 mM NaCl) for one week. Post-treatment the osmoregulatory metabolites like Trehalose, Proline & enzymic anti-oxidants like peroxidase (POD), Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and proteins using LC-MS/MS were analyzed. In both the varieties, Trehalose increased with increasing salt concentration, while the level of Proline increased in Variety 1 and decreased in Variety 2. With increasing salt concentrations, the POD activity decreased in both varieties whereas that of SOD levels increased in Variety 2 and decreased in Variety 1. The protein identified by LC-MS/MS and functional annotation analysis employing Uniport database & BlastP algorithm, aided in the detection of differentially expressed proteins in response to salt stress. This was followed by metabolic interaction annotation enrichment analysis by FunRich 3.0 tool, enabling characterization of proteins to be involved in the Calvin cycle, amino acids biosynthesis, carbohydrate and energy metabolism, ROS defence, hormonal biosynthesis and signal transduction. The augmentation of the metabolic activities of the Calvin cycle, biosynthesis of amino acids, carotenoids and peroxisomes, glycolytic pathway and the tricarboxylic acid cycle will conceivably influence the photosynthetic capacity in L. acutangula varieties under salt stress. The upsurge of key enzymes involved in these above described biological processes possibly appears to play an important role in the enhancement of salt tolerance.

Liquidity Preference Theory or Loanable Funds Theory
Authors: Jossa Bruno
Published: September 2021

In Keynes’s approach, interest rates are driven up by rises in demand for money and scaled down by rises in money supply. On the contrary, this paper argues that neither of these propositions will stand the test of scrutiny. Keynes traced demand for money to three main factors, the transaction, precautionary and speculative motives, but rises in demand associated with the transaction motive do not necessarily drive up the rate of interest. 

The paper shows also that the liquidity preference theory and the loanable funds theory are different theories and that the former is faulty, while the latter is correct.

Can We Improve the Rate of Entrepreneurial Success? Introducing the “TEAM” Framework
Authors: Tolba Ahmed H.
Published: September 2021

Business ventures have experienced environments pertaining to rapid morphological changes that have led to the adoption of entrepreneurial teams as opposed to singular individuals. With such a high potential for failure, startups must revert into the foundation of their organization to ensure success and longevity through the formation of an entrepreneurial team. The formation of the entrepreneurial team leads itself to debate due to its diverse linkage with surrounding contexts and the endless combinations of team characteristics. This paper will start by exploring surrounding contexts that affect the performance of entrepreneurship, providing a landscape to the approach of “individual versus team entrepreneur”. The study will shift into venture capitalists and their startup selection criteria lending way to the assumption that entrepreneurial teams are more likely to receive investor funding due to possible parallels in expertise and personalities between the team and the venture capitalist. Afterwards, previous literature will be explored on the components of the entrepreneurial team, creating a structure for the ideal way of composing a team based on the heterogeneous skills and homogenous personalities. The John Holland (IESC Theory) and the Theory of Predicted Behavior will provide evidence towards the efficiency and applicability of the TEAM framework, establishing that a structure including 4 main individual types is required for synergy within a new venture; The Entrepreneur, The Manager, The Technical Expert, and the Assisting Functions. By implementing the TEAM framework, startup success rates can increase and provide substantial benefits for both the entrepreneur and the fund investor.

Authors: Al-Khulaifi Dr.Ebrahim , Younus Muhammad Kashif
Published: September 2021

This study aimed to determine organisational performance with the perspective of employees' service performance by leadership in the hospitality industry. For doing so, we hypothesised the relationship of transformational leadership and employees' service performance via two roots, service climate and organisational identification. Furthermore, to examine the leadership role in service climate development and organisational identification, we used proactive personality as the boundary condition to these relationships. Data for the study was collected from a diverse range of organisations operating in the Qatari hospitality industry. Findings showed that the service climate fully mediates the relationship, while organisational identification failed to mediate the relationship. Considering the moderating effects, results suggested that strong proactive personalities will strengthen transformational leadership on service climate and organisational identification. This study als0 discussed various theoretical and managerial implications.
Brand Betrayal: A Comprehensive Study to Examine the Indicators and Consequences of Brand Betrayal Towards Consumer Behavior
Authors: Rehmat Sana , Wasim Manahil
Published: September 2021

Abstract

Brand betrayal is induced by the brand itself when it fails to fulfill its promised moral obligations and involves the type of behavior that fractures the strong self–brand connection with the consumers. Brand managers must come across several negative types of consumer behaviors that depict their sense of dissatisfaction. Additionally, the effort of a brand to reduce the effects of brand betrayal is reflected by the sheer amount of customer apologies and compensation paid to the affected consumers. Having a sound knowledge about the primary indicators of brand betrayal encourages the brand managers to take necessary measures to deal with the challenges of the negative consumer-brand relationship. The resultant revenge behaviors depicted by the consumers include different types of activities such as spreading negative word-of-mouth and avoiding the brand itself, customer incivility, etc. The existing literature on the consequences  of brand betrayal is insufficient to build the novel theory around the construct and differentiate it from brand dissatisfaction. The current research in brand dissatisfaction argues that it is a more generalized construct than brand betrayal that becomes the immediate cause of brand avoidance.  The effect of these consequences needs to be addressed by the marketing theorists and practitioners to strengthen the consumer-brand relationship and manage the longer-lasting results of negative consumer behaviors.

A Primer on Pumping and Dumping: How Hedge Funds Do It and How Others Might Profit
Authors: Samsa Greg
Published: September 2021

Pumping and dumping occurs when the price of a stock is artificially inflated and then drops.  Here, we illustrate how hedge funds can accomplish pumping and dumping, and argue why this strategy is likely to be successful for them.  We illustrate why writing a short-term in-the-money covered call option might constitute an informed speculation when pumping and dumping is suspected.  In contradistinction to the usual practice, estimating the returns of a strategy which is based upon the predictable characteristics of pumping and dumping would be best tested prospectively, and social media communities might fruitfully participate in such research.
