Next-generation biomass feedstocks are needed to optimize sustainability in a wide range of soils and climates. Species that has been recently noticed in Europe is Virginia fanpetals (Sida hermaphrodita L. Rusby). A critical question with research of this species is its field propagation. A long-term (2003–2012), field experiment was conducted to determine the impact of propagation method on yields and productivity this species. The hypothesis was higher yields of S. hermaphrodita biomass from vegetative propagations than from generative propagations, also over the long term. On average, from first 10 years of lifespan of Virginia fanpetals (2003–2012), biomass dry matter (DM) yields were significantly higher by vegetative propagation (16.8 Mg ha–1) as for generative (10.9 Mg ha–1). The average gross energy yield obtained by the vegetative propagation reached 304 GJ ha–1 while by the generative propagation was 196 GJ ha–1. The determined heat of combustion reached 18.1 GJ Mg–1 DM, the ash content was 28 g kg–1, and the nitrogen (N), sulphur (S), and chlorine (Cl) contents were 1.9 g kg–1, 0.52 g kg–1 and 0.23 g kg–1, respectively, regardless of propagation methods.
Climate Change, Its Impacts and Possible Measures in Slovakia
Authors: Lapin Milan
Published: May 2021

Total climate changes are a combination of climate changes due to human activities and climate changes of natural origin. Further development of climate change can be predicted, if we know the future development of GHG emission into the atmosphere and other human interventions with the world climate system. The future development in natural climate changes cannot be reliably predicted. It is very probable that climate change caused by humans will be much more significant than the natural climate changes, already from 2020. It is almost certain that the concentration of GHG in the Earth’s atmosphere will rise further for at least 100 years. The climate change scenarios can be prepared, according to the outputs of General Earth’s atmospheric circulation physical models (GCM). Adapting and mitigation measures projection to utilise or slow down the impact of the expected climate change are the next steps of the climate change issues solving.
Does Biochar Influence Soil CO2 Emission Four Years After Its Application to Soil?
Authors: Kotuš Tatijana , Horák Ján
Published: May 2021

Biochar application into soil has potential as a means for reducing soil greenhouse gas emissions and climate mitigation strategy. In this study, we evaluated the impact of two doses of biochar (10 and 20 t.ha−1) applied in 2014, combined with three fertilization levels (N0, N1, N2) on carbon dioxide (CO2) in field conditions during the growing season (April – October) in 2018. The field site is located in the Nitra region of Slovakia – Malanta. The soil in the field was classified as a silt loam Haplic Luvisol. There was not found any statistically significant (P <0.05) decreasing effect of biochar with or without N-fertilizer after four years of its application on average daily and cumulative CO2 emissions, while the CO2 emissions increased with additional N-fertilizer. Biochar decreased (insignificantly) the daily and cumulative CO2 emissions only in the treatments without N-fertilization and in the treatment fertilized with higher level of biochar application (20 t.ha−1) and N-fertilizer (80 kg.N.ha−1). According to these results it can be concluded that the biochar applied to soil is not able to reduce CO2 emissions after four years of its application when it is combined with usual agriculture practices which include N-fertilization.
A Comparative Study of Nearest Neighbor Regression and Nadaraya Watson Regression
Authors: A. Hamad Sarwar , S. Mohamed Ali Kawa
Published: May 2021

Two non-parametric statistical methods are studied in this work. These are the nearest neighbor regression and the Nadaraya Watson kernel smoothing technique. We have proven that under a precise circumstance, the nearest neighborhood estimator and the Nadaraya Watson smoothing produce a smoothed data with a same error level, which means they have the same performance. Another result of the paper is that nearest neighborhood estimator performs better locally, but it graphically shows a weakness point when a large data set is considered on a global scale.
Yerel Yönetimlerde Normsal Kayıtsızlık
Authors: ALICI Orhan Veli
Published: May 2021

Türkiye’nin İdari teşkilatına tarihsel anlamda bakıldığında Kamu Yönetiminin, sürekli olarak çeşitli paradigma değişiklikleri ile gerçekleşen sistem dönüşümlerine uğradığı görülmektedir. Söz konusu değişiklikler genel anlamda sistemin ana unsurlarını düzenlerken üst normlarda yapılan değişikliklerin zamanla ikincil mevzuata tatbik edilmeye çalışıldığı da anlaşılmaktadır. Ancak bu süreçte meydana gelen açık ve bariz hukuki boşlukların ve ikincil mevzuatın üst normla çelişen kısımlarının yenilenmesinde kayıtsız kalındığı da görülmektedir. Özellikle yerel yönetimlerde rastlanılan bu kayıtsızlık hali neticesinde bazı yerel yönetim birimlerinin mevzuat düzenlemelerinde dikkate alınmaması veya gözden kaçırılması neticesinde anılan hukuki boşlukların ortaya çıktığı, ancak söz konusu hususların düzenlenmesinde gerekli hassasiyetin gösterilmediği de değerlendirilmektedir. Bu ve benzeri durumlar neticesinde de yerel yönetimler arasında önemli uygulama farklılıklarının yaşandığı görülmektedir. Bu makalede tespit edilen çeşitli örneklerden hareketle yerel yönetimlerde normsal anlamda bir kayıtsızlığın varlığı incelenecek olup, söz konusu kayıtsızlığın yarattığı sakıncalara değinilecektir.

Variabilidad térmica interanual como base para el estudio del calentamiento global. El caso de la República Argentina (1982-2012)
Authors: Snaider Patricia Perla , Pyszczek Oscar Luis
Published: May 2021

El debate referido al calentamiento global del planeta ha abandonado los claustros académicos para convertirse en una certeza científica y en una creciente preocupación global visibilizada en los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de la ONU, vinculado a la acción por el clima (ODS 13). Estas circunstancias conllevan a la necesidad de investigaciones tendientes a establecer líneas de base que identifiquen las áreas de mayor riesgo climático hacia al interior de los Estados nacionales. La República Argentina es el octavo país más extenso del planeta y las consecuencias de la variabilidad térmica interanual no afectan homogéneamente a su territorio. En tal sentido, el presente artículo pretende identificar las anomalías térmicas interanuales, evidenciadas en la Argentina en el período 1982-2012 como base para la comprensión del calentamiento global. El objetivo consiste en establecer las principales áreas de anomalías térmicas mediante la técnica de análisis estadístico-cartográfico, con el fin de generar conocimientos de base acerca de los efectos de la variabilidad térmica interanual en este país sudamericano.

Published: May 2021

Este estudio está dedicado a las cooccurrencias de et + adverbio en una diacronía larga. Recurriendo al marco teórico de la transcategorización «ampliada», proponemos tres interpretaciones de estas cooccurrencias: la de las combinaciones contingentes, la de las combinaciones necesarias y la de las combinaciones opcionales. Establecemos, igualmente, la distinción entre tres categorías: la de los coordinadores, la de los conectores y, por último, la de los marcadores discursivos. Los tres casos estudiados –et aussi / et également; et puis / et après; et plus / et en plus / et de plus– ilustran estas transcategorizaciones.
La formation de la textualité en diachronie : jonctions interpropositionnelles entre le français médiéval et le français moderne
Authors:   Tampere University (Finlandia), Hakulinen Soili
Published: May 2021

Este artículo examina la evolución de la textualidad en francés entre los siglos XIV y XX, a través de las conexiones entre proposiciones, presentes en un corpus formado por dos traducciones de un mismo texto (Boecio, Consolatio Philosophiae) a través de diferentes épocas. Nuestra hipótesis, confirmada por nuestro análisis, es que la textualidad del francés del siglo XIV (etapa «joven» en que la grafía aún no está fijada) es más agregativa y concentrada que la textualidad del francés moderno, influida por una larga tradición literaria anterior.
La variation graphique du français dans les dictionnaires français-espagnol des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles
Authors:   Universidad de Sevilla (España), Bruña Cuevas Manuel
Published: May 2021

Desde el siglo XVI, la ortografía heredada del francés medio, fuertemente histórica y etimologista, estaba puesta en tela de juicio, en la teoría y en la práctica, por los partidarios de simplificarla. En toda suerte de escritos, las formas de la antigua ortografía coexistían con las de la nueva; de ahí la variación ortográfica inherente al francés de los siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII. Se observa, con todo, que, en los textos impresos, muchos autores optaron más bien por uno que por el otro modelo gráfico. Con estas premisas, analizamos en este artículo los usos ortográficos preponderantes en los principales diccionarios franco-españoles publicados en la época.

Linguocultureme as a Marker of Identity (Based on English Translation of the Novel Zuleikha by G. Yakhina)
Authors: Nesterova Olga A. , Sokolova Elena N.
Published: May 2021

The article reveals the decoding mechanisms of linguoculturemes occurring in the translation of the novel “Zuleikha opens her eyes” by G. Yakhina into the English language. In the original text of the novel linguoculturemes express ethnical and socio-cultural identity of the main character Zuleikha. Working on the translation of the novel Lisa Hayden, the translator, uses different types of adaptive transcoding for interlanguage and intercultural communication. The translation is characterized by double transcoding that is based on three languages: Tatar, Russian and English. Tatar words and expressions with explicit national cultural elements form a cultural background in the novel and often have no equivalents or definitions in the English language. The comparative analysis of the original text and its translations highlight a number of different groups of linguoculturemes, such as terms for members of ethno-cultural community and types of address, names of mythical and religious characters, names of objects, elements of interior design of a peasant’s home, pieces of furniture, and clothes. Linguoculturemes also help to recreate the historical atmosphere in Russia in the 1920-1930s, as well as the relationships in a traditional patriarchal family, conventional values of a local ethno-cultural community and socio-political realia depicted in the novel. A complex hierarchy of contextual image levels of the novel in the process of translation of the novel. The outer level of the story (the plot) is being transformed and many story lines are translated into English without any significant semantic change. Universal human problems represented via archetypes are well received by the English-language readers regardless of their language and socio-cultural background. The inner levels of the story expressing specific social relationships and interactions, ethnocultural, religious, and ethnopsychological stands with the help of linguoculturemes appear to be “encoded” for readers with different language backgrounds, but open in their complete semantic value to the bearers of the given social, religious and ethnical cultures. The authors’ message is that the English translation of the text does not lack in national cultural identity or ethnocultural values, it is just that these values become secondary and, as a result, harm the intimacy of the unique world perception of the main character.

Published: May 2021

Social anxiety is a disorder that most often arises in childhood. This results in social problems in childhood as well as adulthood. Institutionalised children have been known to display many emotional and behavioural problems but the role of social anxiety in these problems has not been explored. The present study assessed the effect of institutional care on social interaction anxiety in children and further assessed the role of social interaction anxiety in emotional and behavioural problems in children. The relationship between social interaction anxiety, psychosocial problems and well being in institutionalised and non institutionalised children was also analysed in the study. 116 children between the age range of 12 to 15 years, which included 40 institutionalised and 76 non institutionalised children, were assessed using the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS), Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires (SDQ) and Adolescent Well being Scale. It was found that type of care and gender did play a role in social interaction anxiety. Further, social interaction anxiety was associated with psychosocial problems and well being in children. Programs targeting creation of awareness in the caretakers/supervisors in the institutions in this area, and programs aimed at improving the interactional skills of institutionalised children appear to be essential.

Problems and Prospects of the Cooperative Movement in India under the Globalization Regime
Authors: Dr. Saroj Kumar Singh
Published: May 2021

This paper intends to analyze the problems prospects of cooperative sector in India under free market.  It is now, increasingly recognized that the co-operative system in India has the capacity and potentiality to neutralize the adverse effects emerging from the process of globalization.  After economic liberalization under the new economic environment, cooperatives at all levels are making efforts to reorient their functions according to the market demands.  The failure of the public sector in several cases is a worrisome trend.  Privatization has also failed to make an impact in the rural areas.  Therefore, there is great hope on the cooperative sector.  The paper examines the causes of slow progress and highlights the emerging role and challenges of the cooperative sector.  In comparison to the step-motherly treatment of the past, cooperatives are now, considered an important plank of development.  The government is committed to cooperative development.  The cooperatives have inherent advantages in tackling the problems of poverty alleviation, food security, and employment generation.  Cooperatives are also, considered to have immense potential to deliver goods and services in areas where both the state and the private sector have failed.  The paper focuses on several pitfalls and shortcomings like: poor infrastructure, lack of quality management, over-dependence on government, dormant membership, non-conduct of elections, lack of strong human resources policy, absence of professionalism, etc.  It suggests evolving strong communication and public relations strategies, which can promote the concept of cooperation among the masses.  It should also push forward by developing effective strategies to overcome existing weaknesses and for continuing growth of the sector.  The paper assesses the future prospects of the cooperative sector of India.

Authors: Reeta Dar
Published: May 2021

This paper talks about psychodynamic theory of psychology wherein individuals adopt various defense mechanisms in order to cope with unpleasant thoughts, emotions or behaviors while dealing with multifaceted processes of organ donation and transplantation. Organ donation from brain stem dead donors and transplantation involves certain psychological defense mechanisms like sublimation, introjections, projection, intellectualization, and denial that are explained through a few case studies of organ donor families, non-donor families, recipients of organs, families of recipients, organ transplant coordinators and doctors. The author discusses how individuals behave in different ways in order to deal with the unpleasant thoughts, emotions or behaviors that are intertwined with intricate debates, dilemmas and convolutions of organ donation and transplantation especially from brain stem dead donors. The organs donated by brain stem dead donors are used for transplantation into people struggling for life with end stage organ failures. The paper represents the narratives of individuals through diagrams that explain the nature of defense mechanisms adopted by people and professionals in organ donation and transplantation. Through these case studies the author wants the authorities to focus on issues that could resolve some problems that are encountered in day to day activities by professionals especially organ transplant coordinators in India. There are a number of areas wherein government needs to put efforts like making easy permissions from police, preventing double permission from police as is required in Medico Legal Cases if the accident has happened in one place and the organ retrieval at the other. There is a dire need to start extensive awareness programmes in all related ministries. The government needs to be sensitive to the plight of poor people who wait for long hours to get back the body once they decide to donate organs in Govt. hospitals. They deserve some care in government hospitals during waiting period. Some budgetary provisions needs to be made for the same. One of the very important things is to introduce a topic on defense mechanisms in organ transplant coordinators course to make them understand the coping mechanisms better. Such efforts will help them in understanding each other better and help them to become effective team members.
