Published: March 2022

The sense of country is not a frequently used term, but it presents a strong approximation to the sense of community, in the proposal of (McMillan and Chavis, 1986). In this theoretical perspective, the present research is developed, which aimed to know the opinion of a group of professionals interested in community psychology, about what they thought, should be taken into account to favor the sense of country. The question to which they answered, in writing, was: How can the construction of a sense of country be favored? The focus of this research was qualitative and structured design. The information analysis was done with the ATLAS.ti® Software (version 8.00). The sample was intentional, with 50 attendees of a community psychology event and students in subjects from the last semesters of community psychology. The results show that in order to strengthen the sense of country, the following categories should be taken into account and in order of importance: History, Collective identity, Diversity, Critical thinking, Participation and community construction. It is necessary to continue investigating the findings, to delve into what they really mean in the perspective of change and social transformation.

Published: March 2022

The present article identifies the main differences associated with gender in the ability of emotional recognition, in the processes of social interaction, in order to identify the internal states of the individual through facial gestures, likewise, the importance of practice of skill in the various socialization scenarios based on the reading of emotional representations, since they can be basic and secondary, however, the hypothetical approaches are that the female sex in evolutionary terms has a greater recognition ability, and a lower time record than the male sex in the execution of the task. The instrument worn was the “Mind Eye Reading Test” (MERT) adult version. In the data analysis, the difference in correct answers between the male and female sex along with the execution time of the task was considered to assess whether there were statistically significant differences that would account for the development of the skill. Despite the fact that the research does not reveal significant differences in the number of correct answers in the (MERT), the women accomplished the test in a shorter time. These results are discussed from a neurophysiological and evolutionary perspective.
Multilayered framing in Turkish Anti-GM Movement
Authors: Baykan Barış Gençer
Published: March 2022

Studies on framing between local and global contexts mostly focus on the ways in which local actors draw upon universalizing claims. Political and economic processes within which the GMOs are produced, traded and regulated invite an exploration of different scales – from local to national, from regional to global. This study aims to analyze the multilayered framing activities of Turkish anti-GM mobilization. In October 2004, ‘No to GMOs Platform’ (GDO’ya Hayır Platformu) in Turkey organized the Monster Tomato Tour which was the continuation of Friends of the Earth’s Bite Back Campaign against the World Trade Organization ruling on GMOs. Platform activists defined their strategy by linking GMOs with environmental, agricultural, and economic issues that are relevant to Turkish political and economic realities and resonate with a larger frame in relation to global aspects of the controversy. Based on interviews with key national and local anti-GM activists in 12 cities conducted between 2007 and 2009, this paper probes how and why core tasks of framing process – diagnostic, prognostic, motivational – relate to local, national, and global scales. The Turkish anti-GM movement developed i) diagnostic frames, identifying a problem and attribute blame at global scale ii) prognostic frames, offering actions and plans at national scale iii) motivational frames being a rationale for action mainly at the local scale. The movement bridged a vast political space by framing the GM issue in a multilayered way by interpreting the grievances and claims locally, nationally, and globally. The movement represents a broad coalition of environmental and health concerns, agriculture issues and consumer rights. Activists were able to create a coherent narrative by connecting different scales towards a nation-wide ban on GMOs.
States as “Humanitarians”: The Turkish Brand of Humanitarian Diplomacy
Authors: Şeyşane Volkan , Tanrıverdi Görkem
Published: March 2022

Humanitarian diplomacy refers to a distinctive form of diplomatic activity undertaken by various actors to protect human life and dignity in situations where they are under threat. Initially, the concept was more associated with humanitarian non-governmental organizations and some UN agencies. However, today, an increasing number of states adopt humanitarian diplomacy as a foreign policy instrument and portray themselves as global humanitarian actors. Over the last decade, Turkey has also emerged as one of the major actors in the field of humanitarian assistance, and humanitarianism has become a central theme in the discourse of Turkish foreign policymakers. Most notably, the Turkish government has officially placed the concept of humanitarian diplomacy in its foreign policy agenda. Therefore, this article seeks to analyze the recent emergence of Turkey as a global humanitarian actor and explore the main characteristics of the ‘Turkish brand of humanitarian diplomacy.’ For this purpose, it offers a three-pillar approach to assess the individual state practice of humanitarian diplomacy and discusses how Turkey’s general humanitarian policy resonates with the three pillars of state-led humanitarian diplomacy. It also examines its humanitarian responses to Somalia and the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar as case studies. State-led humanitarian diplomacy has further deepened the politicization of humanitarianism and the standardization of the humanitarian system in the post-Cold War period. In this context, the article concludes that Turkey’s adoption of humanitarian diplomacy has contributed to these two global trends, both by associating humanitarian diplomacy with broader political issues and political goals and by helping the institutional capacity-building of the international humanitarian aid system.
Card Acceptance by Small Merchants: An Application of the Tourist Test to Peru
Authors: Aurazo Jose , Vega Milton
Published: March 2022

This paper presents a first estimation of the tourist test threshold for interchange fees that makes Peruvian small merchants indifferent between accepting cash and debit cards at the point of sale. We use the tourist test model (initially proposed by Rochet and Tirole), including tax evasion (Aurazo and Vasquez’s model) as an extra factor in the merchants’ decision between cash and card payments. Also, we revisit the existing empirical approaches and propose a new empirical approach, coined as the cash-flow approach, which assumes that small merchants estimate the overall cost in terms of the average ticket related to cash and card payments. Using a Survey on private costs of payment instruments conducted by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru in 2019, our estimates suggest that the tourist test threshold for debit cards is lower than the current interchange fee until 2019, even if tax evasion is not considered. Also, this study helps policymakers to better understand the factors around the merchants’ decision that may be considered to foster digital payments.
Choice of Resistance Used in an Exercise: Simple to Complex Interactions
Authors: Kraemer William J. , Nitka Mike
Published: March 2022

The choice of the resistance used in a workout and its sequence in a training program is a crucial decision for program design. Although the choice in many ways looks simplistic, its interactions with other factors make it a bit more complex when designing a training program. Basic scientific principles help to give context for many aspects of such decisions. Interactions with other acute program variables will also be crucial in how that resistance load in an exercise is manifested in a workout stimulus. Understanding training program sequences using periodization models also affect how one applies the choice of resistances over time. Finally, age and training experience will influence resistance load progressions. Having a handle on these fundamental factors will help give the strength and conditioning professional better insights into the choices made in the resistance used in an exercise.
Resistance Training in Individuals With Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis: A Clinical Commentary With Practical Applications
Authors: Masaracchio Michael , Kirker Kaitlin
Published: March 2022

Osteoarthritis (OA) has been identified as 1 of the 4 most prevalent chronic musculoskeletal conditions, with both prevalence and health care spending rising as the population continues to age. The current US health care system incorporates a model that is driven by individualized one-on-one treatment, which has been successful in the management of certain medical diseases; however, chronic musculoskeletal diseases, such as OA, may be better managed from a population health perspective for more cost-efficient and effective utilization of resources. Although the benefits of resistance training are indisputable, a wide variety of factors (social determinants of health, access to quality care, contextual factors, and comorbidities) may hinder the successful implementation of resistance training programs in older individuals with OA. Considering the complexity and flaws of the health care system, health care professionals involved in movement and exercise should consider innovative models of care that incorporate population health, psychosocial factors, and social determinants of health, in conjunction with individualized treatment of disease, injuries, and pathologies to enhance independence and quality of life in individuals with OA. Therefore, this commentary will discuss innovative strategies to overcome the inherent challenges associated with the implementation of resistance training programs for individuals with hip and knee OA.
Curing Soft Clay to Improve Its Strength with Composite Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) and Coal Fly Ash
Authors: Wang B. , Wei R. , Xiao J. Z. , Cai H. , Feng Y. , Wu S. F. , Wang Z. W.
Published: March 2022

Owing to soft clay’s high water content and low strength, the large volumes of it that are excavated during coastal and waterway construction must be disposed of by being dumped on vacant land or used as fill, and results in increasingly serious environmental problems. Another important regional environmental problem is the large volumes of coal fly ash (CFA) produced by coal-fired power plants. Soft clay disposal methods that can also use CFA can have important practical significance for infrastructure construction projects and can also help the regional economies in areas with limited land resources. At present, microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is used to strengthen sandy material with high porosity and permeability. Because of the special chemical compositions and complex mechanical properties of both soft clay and CFA, studies on the solidification of soft clay-CFA mixtures by microbial methods are rare. This paper describes the results of systematic MICP curing tests on composite soft clay samples with different amounts of added CFA. Changes in the strength of MICP/CFA-cured soft clay samples and X-ray diffraction analyses are used to study the MICP strengthening mechanisms. The results show the following conclusions. (1) Using composite MICP/CFA solidification can effectively improve the strength of soft clay. The clay unconfined compressive strength can be increased by a factor of 5.96. (2) MICP/CFA-aided solidification cements soft clay particles together and reduces water content by consuming the free water of soft clay during their respective reactions. (3) MICP and CFA synergistically enhance the strength of soft clay, and the solidification effect is more obvious for low water content soft clay. (4) There is an optimal composite ratio under the experimental conditions with a 0.75 mol/L bacterial nutrient concentration; the optimal composite ratio for curing is 30% water content of soft clay with 30% CFA.
Statewide Curricular Alignment & Learning Outcomes for Introductory Biology
Authors: Kiser Stacey , Kayes Lori J. , Baumgartner Erin , Kruchten Anne , Stavrianeas Stasinos
Published: March 2022

Barriers to transfer students include lost credit caused by lack of curricular alignment across institutions of higher learning. This is particularly evident in series courses like introductory biology. We propose to streamline transfer issues using a shared set of course-level learning outcomes (CLOs) developed collaboratively by faculty across multiple institutions. Our biggest challenge was the development of CLOs aligned to Vision and Change and broad enough for large-scale implementation. We present the CLOs generated by the Northwest Biosciences Consortium faculty network along with data on faculty buy-in to using Vision and Change in their curriculum. Additionally, we found an increased familiarity with and use of Vision and Change in curriculum development over time. Finally, we provide information on implementation of CLOs and suggestions of methods for aligning curricula across networks.
Undergraduates’ & Faculty Members’ Views on Scientific Reading & Communication in Authentic Inquiry
Authors: Xiang Lin
Published: March 2022

Scientific reading and communication have become key components in postsecondary science education. However, undergraduates have often been found to lack motivation to engage in these tasks. The present study surveyed 2098 undergraduates and 27 biology faculty members to compare their views on the importance and time cost of eight practices in authentic inquiry. Overall, the undergraduates considered scientific reading and communication less important than other inquiry practices (e.g., data analysis), whereas the faculty members ranked reading and writing highly important. The undergraduates who ranked scientific reading and communicative practices important tended to include the purposes and functions of these practices in their explanations. In contrast, the undergraduates who ranked the practices less important expressed multiple misconceptions about the applications of reading and communication, including that they are peripheral research components; they may not affect the inquiry results; they come after experiments; they are less important than other practices; and they are unnecessary. Four inquiry perspectives were identified from the respondents, including collective equality, knowledge generation, chronological order, and time investment. These perspectives significantly impacted undergraduates’ rankings on scientific reading and communication practices and six underlying perceptions.
Insights on sources and formation mechanisms of liquid-bearing clouds over MOSAiC examined from a Lagrangian framework
Authors: Silber Israel , Shupe Matthew D.
Published: March 2022

Understanding Arctic stratiform liquid-bearing cloud life cycles and properly representing these life cycles in models is crucial for evaluations of cloud feedbacks as well as the faithfulness of climate projections for this rapidly warming region. Examination of cloud life cycles typically requires analyses of cloud evolution and origins on short time scales, on the order of hours to several days. Measurements from the recent Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition provide a unique view of the current state of the central Arctic over an annual cycle. Here, we use the MOSAiC radiosonde measurements to detect liquid-bearing cloud layers over full atmospheric columns and to examine the cloud-generating air masses’ properties. We perform 5-day (120 h) back-trajectory calculations for every detected cloud and cluster them using a unique set of variables extracted from these trajectories informed by ERA5 reanalysis data. This clustering method enables us to separate between the air mass source regions such as ice-covered Arctic and midlatitude open water. We find that moisture intrusions into the central Arctic typically result in multilayer liquid-bearing cloud structures and that more than half of multilayer profiles include overlying liquid-bearing clouds originating in different types of air masses. Finally, we conclude that Arctic cloud formation via prolonged radiative cooling of elevated stable subsaturated air masses circulating over the Arctic can occur frequently (up to 20% of detected clouds in the sounding data set) and may lead to a significant impact of ensuing clouds on the surface energy budget, including net surface warming in some cases.
“I have to think for four people”: Belgian Mothers’ Mental Labour during the Coronavirus Lockdowns
Authors: Reding Charlotte , Smith Laura
Published: March 2022

This semester-long study explores the under-researched topic of mental labour among middle-aged Belgian mothers in the context of the coronavirus crisis’ lockdowns. Mental labour refers to the presence of a cognitive burden induced by familial responsibilities, and it is often more prevalent in women than in men. By means of one focus group and six in-depth individual interviews, this research uncovers the different mechanisms that Belgian mothers developed during the first two coronavirus crisis lockdowns to better cope with their mental labour. Through this research, we hope to raise awareness of the mental labour experienced by mothers and highlight the different ways in which gender inequalities are perpetuated in the household, as well as envision how a better balance of tasks performed by men and women can be achieved.

The Circular Economy and Marketing: A Literature Review
Authors: Rejeb Abderahman , Rejeb Karim , Keogh John G.
Published: March 2022

The focus on the circular economy (CE) is currently gaining momentum. In this paper, we examine how the objectives of the CE significantly overlap with those of the new generation of marketing, which emphasizes customer involvement in product design and responsible consumption. While the marketing function is essential for realizing the CE, there is still a lack of studies examining the intersection of these two critical concepts. Methodically, this paper aims to bridge this knowledge gap by conducting a systematic literature review that explains the CE-marketing nexus. In total, 45 studies were thoroughly analyzed, and findings indicate that the intersection between the CE and marketing spans four main research themes; (1) contribution of green marketing to the CE, (2) remanufacturing marketing, (3) product-service systems, and (4) neuromarketing tools. An agenda for future investigation of the CE and marketing concepts is suggested, followed by a brief conclusion. This review is valuable for scholars and managers, including those striving to have an increased understanding of the relationship between the CE and marketing.How to Cite:Rejeb, A., Rejeb, K., Keogh, J.

MORPHOLOGICAL AND NEW NEUROCHEMICAL ASPECTS OF THE MAMMALIAN CAROTID BODY
Authors: Lazarov N. , Atanasova D.
Published: March 2022

The carotid body (CB) is a polymodal chemosensory organ that plays an essential role in initiating respiratory and cardiovascular adjustments to maintain blood gas homeostasis. It is strategically located at the carotid bifurcation. The CB works in concert with the apposing afferent nerve endings of the petrosal ganglion (PG) cells and together they form a functional unit, the CB chemosensory system. The organ consists of small clusters called glomeruli composed of two cell types, glomus and sustentacular cells, interspersed by blood vessels and nerve bundles, and separated by connective tissue. During chemotransduction glomus cells release a variety of neurotransmitters which activate chemoafferent nerve endings of PG neurons. Much of the available evidence suggests that the CB dysfunction and altered oxygen homeostasis are involved in the pathophysiology of several diseases including systemic hypertension. Our recent data show that in glomus cells of hypertensive animals the production of nitric oxide is impaired and components of the neurotrophin signaling system display enhanced expression. These results suggest that a heightened chemosensory discharge may contribute to sympathetic hyperactivity leading to hypertension. Knowledge of the morphofunctional and neurochemical aspects of the CB would improve our current understanding of respiratory and cardiovascular homeostasis in health and disease.
AGE RELATED CHANGES IN THE CERVICAL BACKBONE
Authors: Wassilev W. , Andreev D.
Published: March 2022

By using macroscopic inspection, x-ray, histological methods and contrast filling of the blood vessels, investigated were human cervical backbones of grown-up individuals 15 to 88 years old, and of fetuses, newborns and children. Besides to the vertebrae themselves, special attention was paid to the intervertebral disks and joints, as well as to the blood vessels. In the backbones of humans in the age after the fourth decade, alterations were observed in the structure of the vertebrae (mainly in the form of exostoses) and of the backbone as a whole (decrease of the cervical lordosis), in the intervertebral disks (reduction of the highness, loss of the homogeneity, destruction), and in the vertebral artery (firmness of the wall, narrowing of the lumen, and undulations).
NEUROINFLAMMATORY RESPONSE AFTER EXPERIMENTAL TRAUMA TO THE INFANT RODENT BRAIN
Authors: Goranova V. , Sifringer M. , Ikonomidou C.
Published: March 2022

PURPOSE. Mechanical trauma to the immature rodent brain induces a local primary injury and a distant secondary neuroapoptosis. These lesions are associated with glial cell activation, infiltration of immune cells, increased levels of proinflammatory mediators and proteases as part of neuroinflammation.
METHODS. Seven-day-old rats were subjected to cortical trauma with a weight-drop device. Animals were sacrificed at defined time points from 2 hours to 21 days and brain tissues were processed for molecular, biochemical and histological analyses.
RESULTS. We studied the expression, distribution pattern, time course and cellular localization of two pro-inflammatory mediators (IL-1ß and IL-18) and two proteases (MMP-2 and MMP-9). Apoptotic cell death affected mostly neuronal populations in the cortex, thalamus and caudate nucleus mainly ipsilateral to the injury 6 hours to 5 days after trauma. The involvement of microglia, astroglia and monocytes-macrophages were investigated at the site of primary and secondary damages. They may contribute to acute or delayed trauma-induced neuronal deficit.
CONCLUSIONS. Our findings suggest that the interleukins, proteases and microglia/astrocytes are involved in trauma-induced neuroinflammatory response and might serve as a potential therapeutic target.

In natural ecosystems, the soil reaction is stable and related to the habitat conditions. In arable soils used for agricultural purposes, there is a constant need to correct the reaction to the level corresponding to the requirements of plants. In lysimeter studies, the rate of acidification and its extent were determined in the profile of agricultural brown soil under the influence of simulated acid rainfall. It was estimated that acidification of the simulated acid rainfall, equivalent to the sum of exchange bases of the brown soil Ap level, increased the concentration of magnesium 15-fold and calcium 9-fold in lysimeter filtrates compared to washing with water. The introduced hydrogen cations eliminate alkaline cations from the soil sorption complex, and with increasing concentration they increase the leaching range in the soil profile, exchangeable aluminum appears in the upper part of the profile. The degree of saturation of the brown soil sorption complex under the influence of acidification equivalent to the sum of exchangeable bases of the Ap level decreases to zero in the top part of the profile, while in the bottom part shows a slight reaction. Under the influence of increasing acidity, the dynamics in the profile of available magnesium forms is ambiguous, the available phosphorus content increases in the A and B levels, while the available potassium content does not change significantly.

The circular economy becomes a reality. It will affect all sectors of the economy, including oil refineries. Refineries will face the necessity to change business models and technological systems. On the one site, the circular economy offers potential and opportunities and new innovative technologies, and on the other site, the consequences of introducing changes. Due to changes in legislation, sectors are increasingly interested in waste management in order to reduce the amount of extracted raw materials. Chemical recycling can be an important source of input and energy for refineries and an example of the practical implementation of the principles of sustainable development and the circular economy.

The paper analyzes the current state of hydropower and the possibilities of its development. The technical hydropower potential of Poland at the level of 12 thousand. 20% of GWh/year is currently used. Possibilities of increasing installed capacity and energy production relate mainly to small hydropower in the power range up to 5 MW. The example of the Odra and Oława Rivers shows that a lot of clean and renewable energy can still be obtained. The prospects for a more intensive development of hydropower in Poland are optimistic, but there are barriers that slow down its development. Poland's membership in the EU and environmental, climate and energy directives force the state to be significantly involved in the development of hydropower.

The research shows that farms with a vegetable and animal production (average 513.0 and 471.7 t.ha-1) had a higher biological and technical potential of straw than non-livestock farms (average 344.4 and 321.6 t.ha-1). The energy potential of straw on the farms examined was 47,598.0 GJ and varied between 1,618.5 and 11,979.0 GJ, and was 31.8% higher on farms with both vegetable and animal production than on farms only. Switching from traditional fuel (coal) to straw can reduce CO2 emissions on the farms studied by 4,336.7 tons. For all farms (except farm No. 8) the investment in the purchase of a biomass boiler, financed by the sale of surplus straw left after its use for energy purposes, is profitable.

The regulation and reconstruction of rivers and their valleys, apart from drastic hydrological changes, often lead to the change or disappearance of the habitats of valuable plant and animal species. Particularly vulnerable to the loss of breeding sites are species directly associated with precipitous banks and river slopes, which are formed as a result of erosive and landslide processes. Intensive hydrotechnical treatments, such as straightening of the channels or elimination of irregularities of the river banks, resulted in the inhibition of the desirable natural river processes. Bird species native to Poland that require the above nesting conditions, include: sand martin Riparia riparia, kingfisher Alcedo atthis and bee-eater Merops apiaster. More and more actions are taken to restore rivers to a near-natural state. The aim of restoration is not only to increase retention capacity, protect against floods, social and economic benefits, but also to improve the overall functioning of river ecosystems and preserve biodiversity within their valleys. Renaturation includes activities such as the creation of exposed slopes that mimic erosive undercuts, the removal of bank reinforcements or the maintenance of bank gaps, which promote their occupation by the aforementioned bird species. In addition to predation, the loss of suitable breeding sites is the greatest threat to the sand martin population, such as the American mink Neovison vison, the fox Vulpes vulpes and the locally raccoon dog Nyctereutes procyonoides. A regulated river, where the implemented hydrotechnical measures disrupt the functioning of natural river processes, also causes losses in bird broods due to flash floods that destroy many nests together with eggs or nestlings. Sand martins in many places have stopped using riverbeds as breeding places, occupying anthropogenic habitats which, however, have certain limitations and threats. Renaturation is therefore an important measure to be taken in places where past regulations have caused the greatest damage to the environment. The development of anthropogenic areas should be supported in accordance with the principles of sustainable use of natural resources.

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a crop grown all over the world. Its availability makes it a widely used species. It is a predominant food raw material for human or animal consumption, used as a raw material for bioethanol production and in the chemical industry. Another dynamically developing direction of the use of maize is their use for energy purposes. The paper presents the possibilities of using maize plants in the industrial aspect intended for energy production.

One of the most important tasks in practical agricultural activity is the identification of agricultural crops, both those growing in individual fields at the moment and those that grew in these fields earlier. To reduce the complexity of the identification process in recent years, data from remote sensing of the Earth (remote sensing), including the values of vegetation indices calculated during the growing season, have been used. At the same time, processing optical satellite images and obtaining reliable index values is often difficult, which is due to cloud cover during the shooting. To solve this problem, the article suggests using the seasonal course curve of the radar vegetation index with double polarization (DpRVI) as the main indicator characterizing agricultural crops. In the period 2017-2020, 48 radar images of the Khabarovsk Municipal District of the Khabarovsk Territory from the Sentinel-1 satellite were received and processed to identify crops in the experimental fields of the Far Eastern Research Institute of Agriculture (FEARI) (resolution 22 m, shooting interval - 12 days). Soybeans and oats were the main identified crops. Pixels of fields not occupied by these crops (forage grasses, abandoned fields) were also added. The series of values of DpRVI were obtained both for individual pixels and fields, and approximated series for three classes. The approximation was carried out using the Gaussian function, the double logistic function, the square and cubic polynomials. It is established that the optimal approximation algorithm is the use of a double logistic function (the average error was 4.6%). On average, the approximation error of the vegetation index for soybeans did not exceed 5%, for perennial grasses – 8.5%, and for oats - 11%. For experimental fields with a total area of 303 hectares with a known crop rotation, the classification was carried out by the weighted method of k nearest neighbors (the training sample was formed according to the data of 2017-2019, the test sample -2020). As a result, 90% of the fields were correctly identified, and the overall pixel classification accuracy was 73%, which made it possible to identify the discrepancy between the actual boundaries of the fields declared to identify abandoned and swampy areas. Thus, it is established that the DpRVI index can be used to identify agricultural crops in the south of the Far East and serve as the basis for the automatic classification of arable land.

A system of $k$ components that functions as long as at least $s$ components survive is termed as $s$-out-of-$k$:G system, where G refers to "good". In this study, we consider the $s$-out-of-$k$:G system when $X_{1}, X_{2},\cdots, X_{k}$ are independent and identically distributed strength components and each component is exposed to common random stress $Y$ when the underlying distributions all belong to the standard two-sided power distribution. The system is regarded as surviving only if at least $s$ out of $k$ $1<s<k$ strengths exceed the stress. The reliability of such a system is the surviving probability and is estimated by using the maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches. Parametric and nonparametric bootstrap confidence intervals for the maximum likelihood estimates and the highest posterior density confidence intervals for Bayes estimates by using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique are obtained. A real data set is also analyzed to illustrate the performances of the estimators.
