Out of season lamb: summary of workshop discussion
Authors: Anon A.
Published: July 2020

Out-of-season lambing The optimum time This depends on feed supply. Considerable planning and feed supply management are required. Because pasture is the cheapest source, northern regions are likely to be more suited to out-of-season lambing. Livestock problems would need consideration, including getting ewes to cycle by drug use or by natural means. Climate and weather changes were seen as being a physical constraint with regular extremes of drought, flood and cold spells, and the long term possibility of the greenhouse effect upsetting climate patterns. The market was seen as being the major constraint, and the current state of the market makes it financially unattractive for farmers to take on additional risks and costs.

African American Children’s Diminished Returns of Subjective Family Socioeconomic Status on Fun Seeking
Authors: Assari Shervin , Akhlaghipour Golnoush , Boyce Shanika , Bazargan Mohsen , Caldwell Cleopatra H.
Published: July 2020

Background: Reward sensitivity (fun-seeking) is a risk factor for a wide range of high-risk behaviors. While high socioeconomic status (SES) is known to reduce reward sensitivity and associated high-risk behaviors, less is known about the differential effects of SES on reward sensitivity. It is plausible to expect weaker protective effects of family SES on reward sensitivity in racial minorities, a pattern called Minorities’ Diminished Returns (MDRs). Aim: We compared Caucasian and African American (AA) children for the effects of subjective family SES on children’s fun-seeking. Methods: This was a cross-sectional analysis of 7061 children from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study. The independent variable was subjective family SES. The main outcome was children’s fun-seeking measured by the behavioral approach system (BAS) and behavioral avoidance system (BIS). Age, gender, marital status, and household size were the covariates. Results: In the overall sample, high subjective family SES was associated with lower levels of fun-seeking. We also found a statistically significant interaction between race and subjective family SES on children’s fun-seeking in the overall sample, suggesting that high subjective family SES is associated with a weaker effect on reducing fun-seeking among AA than Caucasian children. In race-stratified models, high subjective family SES was protective against fun-seeking of Caucasian but not AA children. Conclusion: Subjective family SES reduces the fun-seeking for Caucasian but not AA children.

Authors: Wunderlich Markus , Esper Alexander , Wirsum Manfred , Buchmann Klaus
Published: July 2020

This paper presents results of strain gauge measurements, which have been carried out on a full-scale turbocharger test rig. Rotational speed of the turbocharger was ramped up and down through four preliminary anticipated rotor-blade resonances, with a known combination of main order of excitation and corresponding nodal diameter. An analysis of the transient data is presented. An investigation of spectra with high frequency resolutions, centered on individual blade resonance points in time, is presented. In contrast to former research, all blades resonate at the same point in time and thus at the same resonance frequency, if the excitation corresponds to a nodal diameter of zero. Strain data from the shaft is used to support findings, which, in other publications, often solely rely on strain data from individual blades.

Authors: Omer Mohammed , Idowu Omololu J. , Brungard Colby W. , Ulery April L. , Adedokun Bidemi , McMillan Nancy
Published: July 2020

Visible near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (VNIRS) and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) are potential methods for the rapid and less expensive assessment of soil quality indicators (SQIs). The specific objective of this study was to compare VNIRS and LIBS for assessing SQIs. Data was collected from over 140 soil samples taken from multiple agricultural management systems in New Mexico, belonging to arid and semiarid agroecosystems. Sampled sites included New Mexico State University Agricultural Science Center research fields and several commercial farm fields in New Mexico. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) was used to establish predictive relationships between spectral data and SQIs. Fifteen soil measurements were modeled including the soil organic matter (SOM), permanganate oxidizable carbon (POXC), total microbial biomass (TMB), total bacteria biomass (TBB), total fungi biomass (TFB), mean weight diameter of dry aggregates (MWD), aggregates 2–4 mm (AGG > 2 mm), aggregates < 0.25 mm (AGG < 0.25 mm), wet aggregate stability (WAS), electrical conductivity (EC), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), and iron (Fe). Overall, calibrations based on measurements irrespective of locations performed better for LIBS and combined VNIRS-LIBS. Measurements separated according to locations highly improved the quality of prediction for VNIRS as compared to combined locations. For example, the prediction R2 values for regression of VNIRS were 0.19 for SOM, 0.30 for POXC, 0.24 for MWD, 0.15 for AGG > 2 mm, and 0.13 for EC in combined datasets irrespective of location. When separated according to locations, for one of the locations, the predictive R2 values for VNIRS were 0.48 for SOM, 0.70 for POXC, 0.67 for MWD, 0.60 for AGG > 2 mm, and 0.51 for EC. The prediction values varied with the sampling time for both LIBS and VNIRS. For example, the prediction values of some SQIs using VNIRS were higher in samples collected in winter for measurements, including SOM (0.90), MWD (0.96), WAS (0.66), and EC (0.94). Using the VNIRS, the corresponding predictive values for the same SQIs were lower for samples collected in the fall (SOM (0.61), MWD (0.45), WAS (0.46), and EC (0.65)). While this study illustrates the prospects of VNIRS and LIBS for estimating SQIs, a more comprehensive evaluation, using a larger regional dataset, is required to understand how the site and soil factors affect VNIRS and LIBS, in order to enhance the utility of these methods for soil quality assessment in arid and semiarid agroecosystems.
Response of Water Quality to Landscape Patterns in an Urbanized Watershed in Hangzhou, China
Authors: Song Yu , Song Xiaodong , Shao Guofan
Published: July 2020

Intense human activities and drastic land use changes in rapidly urbanized areas may cause serious water quality degradation. In this study, we explored the effects of land use on water quality from a landscape perspective. We took a rapidly urbanized area in Hangzhou City, China, as a case study, and collected stream water quality data and algae biomass in a field campaign. The results showed that built-up lands had negative effects on water quality and were the primary cause of stream water pollution. The concentration of total phosphorus significantly correlated with the areas of residential, industrial, road, and urban greenspace, and the concentration of chlorophyll a also significantly correlated with the areas of these land uses, except residential land. At a landscape level, the correlation analysis showed that the landscape indices, e.g., dominance, shape complexity, fragmentation, aggregation, and diversity, all had significant correlations with water quality parameters. From the perspective of land use, the redundancy analysis results showed that the percentages of variation in water quality explained by the built-up, forest and wetland, cropland, and bareland decreased in turn. The spatial composition of the built-up lands was the main factor causing stream water pollution, while the shape complexities of the forest and wetland patches were negatively correlated with stream water pollution.

Authors: Hosseini Raziyeh , Sayadi Mohammad Hossein , Shekari Hossein
Published: July 2020

The research was conducted with an aim to assess the efficiency of copper oxide nanoparticles as an adsorbent to remove Ni and Cr. The effect of pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, initial concentration of metals (Ni and Cr) on the adsorption rate was evaluated and removal of these elements from aqueous solutions was measured using Atomic Absorption Spectrum System (Conter AA700). Moreover, the kinetic and isotherm besides thermodynamic adsorption models were assessed. The highest Ni and Cr removal rate occurred at an optimal pH of 7, and an initial concentration of 30 mg/L, a time period of 30 minutes, and 1 g/L of copper oxide nanoparticles. In fact, with the increase of adsorbent dosage and contact time, the removal efficiency increased and with initial concentration increase of Ni and Cr ions, the removal efficiency reduced. The correlation coefficient of isotherm models viz. Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Redlich-Peterson, and Koble-Corrigan showed that Ni and Cr adsorption via copper oxide nanoparticles better follows the Langmuir model in relation to other models. The results showed that kinetic adsorption of Ni and Cr via copper oxide nanoparticles follows the second order pseudo model with correlation coefficients above 0.99. In addition, the achieved thermodynamic constants revealed that the adsorption process of metals (i.e., Ni and Cr) via copper oxide nanoparticles was endothermic and spontaneous and the reaction enthalpy values for these metals were 17.727 and 11.862 kJ/mol, respectively. In conclusion, copper oxide nanoparticles can be used as effective and environmentally compatible adsorbents to remove Ni and Cr ions from the aqueous solutions

Authors: Musa Shuaibu , Idris Suleiman Ola , Onu David A. , Suleiman Ahmed B.
Published: July 2020

Two metal-amino acid complexes, Cr(III)-alanine and Cr(III)-valine, were synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, magnetic susceptibility, and molar conductivity measurements. Molar conductivity measurements indicated that the composition of the metal complexes corresponds to a metal-amino acid ligand ratio of 1:3. The IR spectra indicated that the amino acids act as bidentate ligands with coordination involving the carboxyl oxygen and the nitrogen of the amino group. Magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed a six-coordinate local symmetry around the Cr(III) ions which depicted that the complexes were paramagnetic with magnetic moment values ranging from 5.10 to 6.00 BM. Powder XRD studies confirmed that the amino acid complexes were crystalline with monoclinic crystal structure. The in vitro biological activity of the investigated chromium(III) complexes with alanine and valine was tested against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli. All the microorganisms were standardized using 0.5 McFarland standard. The antimicrobial studies showed that the ligands were biologically active with an inhibition zone range of 10-17 mm and their metal complexes showed significantly enhanced antimicrobial sensitivity with an inhibition zone range of 12-21 mm. The standard drug showed slightly better activity with an inhibition zone range of 24-38 mm.

Authors: Zobnina Tat’yana V , Kislyakova Lyubov’ P.
Published: July 2020

Responsible human behaviour in life involves overcoming diffi culties, taking on additional responsibilities, which is accompanied by considerable willpower. However, to date, the relationship between the locus of control and the ability to volitional effort has not been fully studied. This article presents the results of the authors‘ correlation and regression analysis of the relationship between the locus of control and willpower in students – future teachers. The empirical study was attended by university students studying in pedagogic areas of training. As a result of the study, a positive statistically
signifi cant relationship was established between the level of general internality of students and the generalised indicator of willpower. Statistically signifi cant correlations between the level of willpower and the level of subjective control in the
fi eld of achievements, failures, and family relationships are revealed. It is determined that willpower is a predictor of the general level of internality of students-teachers, as well as their internality in the fi eld of achievements, failures, and family relationships. It is shown that students with a high level of subjective control statistically signifi cantly outperform students with a low level of subjective control in the generalised indicator of willpower.

The article considers the concept of professional readiness of pedagogues to implement inclusive educational practice; identifi es and substantiates substructures (pedagogical and psychological) of professional readiness of pedagogues. In accordance with the theoretical provisions on the professional readiness of a pedagogue included in the system of inclusive education, a method of psychological diagnostics of pedagogues’ readiness for the implementation of inclusive educational
practice is developed and presented. Methods of psychological diagnostics are developed based on the theoretical principles of professional readiness of the pedagogue, regulatory requirements for the training of the pedagogue, method of expert assessment based on which, the summation of statements of questionnaires is defi ned. Estimation of quality of methods of psychological diagnostics of professional readiness of pedagogues to implement inclusive educational practices was based on
psychometric requirements for diagnostic procedure: standardisation, validity, reliability, representativeness. The reliability and reliability of the research was provided by a representative sample of the tested – 129 pedagogues implementing inclusive educational practice in Stavropol and Stavropol Land took part in the pilot study. The proposed methodology for the psychological diagnosis of pedagogues’ readiness to implement inclusive educational practice allows us to identify diffi culties encountered by pedagogues who have different experiences of «entering» into inclusive culture and practice and, based on the results obtained, build psychological (methodological, educational) support for pedagogues in accordance with their request.

Published: July 2020

Background. KRAS mutations are highly prevalent in pancreatic, lung, and colorectal carcinomas with G12V point substitution being one of the most prevalent mutations. While developments of peptide vaccines for KRAS(+) cancers are usually associated with poor immunogenicity, coupling mutant K-ras vaccines with universal CD4+ carrier molecules may enhance its outcome. Additionally, recent immunotherapeutic advances also suggest the possibility of inducing mucosal immunity against cancers using Lactococcus lactis as a live gastrointestinal delivery vehicle. Methods. A region of wild-type K-ras peptide was previously modified with a V7D substitution flanking the G12V mutation, generating a K-ras peptide (termed 68-V) with improved predicted antigenicity. This peptide was fused with a diphtheria toxoid sequence, and cloned into pNZ8048 vector within Lactococcus lactis NZ9000. BALB/c mice were then immunized orally, and then subjected to T/B cells immunophenotyping, as well as IgG and IgA detection. Results. Modified 68-V K-ras peptide and controls were successfully cloned and detection of His-tagged proteins expressed following induction by nisin was observed. Populations of CD3-CD19+ immune cells increased following immunization of 68-V, while K-ras specific-IgG and -IgA sera titers were elevated compared to wild-type and G12V K-ras controls. Conclusion. 68-V K-ras mimotope was shown to induce humoral-mediated immunity, highlighting the ability of an additional mutation flanking the G12V KRAS mutation to induce B cell activation and production of K-ras specific antibodies, while diphtheria toxoid was unable to stimulate an enhanced response when fused to 68-V. Nevertheless, these findings showed that further assessments are required to understand the role of K-ras specific antibodies within a KRAS(+) environment.

Özet: Bu çalışmada Güneybatı Anadolu’da Isparta Burdur şehir merkezleri arasında bulunan Gölcük volkanizmasına ait Gelincik köyündeki (Isparta-Türkiye) volkanik tüflerin puzolanik özellikleri araştırılmıştır. Puzolonik maddeler kendi başlarına hidrolik bağlayıcı özelliğine sahip olmadıkları halde belirli bir incelikte öğütüldüklerinde nemli ortamda ve normal sıcaklıkta kalsiyum hidroksitle tepkimeye girerek bağlayıcı özellikte bileşikler oluşturan doğal veya yapay malzemeler olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Ortak özellikleri, SiO2 ve Al2O3 içermeleridir. Puzolanlar hem doğrudan çimento üretiminde hem de betonda mineral katkı maddesi olarak kullanılırlar. Betonda çimentodan belli oranlarda eksiltilerek kullanılmaktadırlar. Böylelikle betonda kullanılan çimento miktarında azalma olmaktadır. Bu da hem ekonomik hem de çevresel açıdan fayda sağlayan bir durumdur. Beton üretiminde çimentonun payı ekonomik olarak oldukça yüksektir. Ayrıca çimento üretimi karbon ayak izi yüksek bir sektördür. 2013 yılında toplam küresel CO2 emisyon miktarı 36 milyar tondur. Bunun yaklaşık % 29'unun çimento endüstrisinden kaynaklı olduğu bilinmektedir. Ülkemiz çimento üretiminde Avrupa ülkeleri arasında ilk sıradadır. Bu nedenle çimento tüketim ve üretim miktarlarının azaltılması hem ülkemiz açısından hem de küresel ölçekte önem arz etmektedir. Bu kapsamda Gölcük volkanizmasına ait Gelincik köyündeki volkanik tüflerin betonda kullanılabilmesi için puzolanik özellikleri araştırılmıştır.

Elephant intrusion across the railway track leads to Human-Elephant conflict, collisionof trains, elephant death and injuries. Railway tracks pass through wild life habitats in several Indian states. In India, due to railway cross lines,the accidents that resulted in the death of249 elephants during 1987-2018.The surveillance and monitoring the elephants in the railway line in the forest is very difficult. The speed of the train in India among forest areas is around 50-55km/h during day and 35km/h at night, the engine driver can’t stop the train once the elephant is seen. So, we develop a system to detect the elephant intrusion at a certain distance by using sensors and image processing using MATLAB, creates an alert to engine driver and forest officer of the region and repel the elephant from the railway line. Hence we are creating a prototype model for real time interaction of elephant intrusion across railway tracks.

This paper deals with the investigation of concrete containing varying replacement percentages of Alccofine and conjointly Alccofine and different proportions of steel fibers with aspect ratio 50 to investigate mechanical and morphological properties. The replacement levels of Alccofine was chosen as 5% to 15% with 5% increment and steel fibers of 0.5% to1.5% with an increment of 0.5% by volume of concrete. Mix design was done by using British D.O.E method, fixing water binder ratio as 0.45. Results indicated that concrete replaced with Alccofine in addition of steel fibers increased the compressive and flexural strength of concrete. The maximum strength was obtained for the concrete mix containing 15% Alccofine and 1.5% circular crimped steel fibers. Morphological studies indicated the excess C-S-H gel for concrete mixes containing Alccofine as compared to conventional concrete. Hence, it can be culminated that Alccofine and addition of steel fibers increases the strength properties and crack resistant strength of concrete.

The first schoolbook for the Ladin schools: historical background and didactic description
Authors: Dorigo Jasmine Annette
Published: July 2020

This article presents the first known schoolbook printed especially for the elementary schools in the Badia valley (Ladinia, South Tyrol). It is a bilingual textbook for the parallel teaching of the languages Italian and German, realized at the end of the 19th century, printed in two volumes in 1906 and 1907. Above all, the article examines the historical context, in which the book was born, deepening the so-called «Enneberger Schulstreit», the virulent conflict between 1870 and 1895 regarding the use and teaching of languages in the schools of the Badia valley. Then the two authors, the teachers Peter Detomaso and Remigio Antoniolli, are presented. The central part of the article consists in a comparison of the «Ladin» book with the declared model of the work, the «Metodo pratico» of Giovanni Dolinar. Linguistic aspects (e.g.: grammar, spelling, characters/writing types, readings, writing compositions) and didactic aspects (e.g.: aims and objectives, suggestions for the teacher, proposed didactic methodologies), as well as contents (e.g.: religious texts, civics texts and historical, geographical, scientific texts) and the global structure of the book, are studied in depth.

A participação do Brasil na modalidade esportiva judô em Jogos Olímpicos (JO) iniciou na década de 1970. Diferentes meios de comunicação veicularam notícias sobre o evento e, dentre estes, se destaca a revista Veja. Diante disso, o objetivo do estudo é investigar as representações sociais constituídas/compostas pela revista Veja sobre a participação dos atletas brasileiros de judô, nas edições dos JO de 1972 até 1988. Para tanto, foram coletadas reportagens relacionadas ao fenômeno estudado, nas edições da revista Veja, disponibilizadas em acervo digital. A interpretação das informações culminou na construção de três categorias de análise, a saber: a) O judô no Brasil; b) A conquista das medalhas; c) O judô brasileiro olímpico. Foi evidenciado que, inicialmente, a participação do judô brasileiro em Jogos Olímpicos era associada a uma identidade japonesa. Ademais, buscava-se desvincular representações de insuficiência e fracasso da identidade brasileira. No decorrer dos anos, os discursos veiculados na revista foram sendo transformados, possivelmente, em decorrência das medalhas conquistadas pelos judocas, e o judô, passou a ser representado como um esporte nacional. Por fim, ressalta-se que a revista Veja por ser um instrumento midiático, deve ser analisada com criticidade, sendo necessário atentar-se para a superficialidade e parcialidade dos discursos e suas repercussões.

Картофель имеет большое народно-хозяйственное значение, используется на продовольственные, технические и кормовые цели. В Рязанской области в 2018 году картофель возделывался на площади 21,7 тыс. га. Средняя урожайность составила 148,5 ц/га. Новые клубни начинают формироваться в фазе бутонизации и цветения. В этот период картофель должен быть обеспечен необходимым количеством питательных веществ и влаги, рыхлятся междурядья для обеспечения воздухообменных процессов у корней. Наибольшая масса ботвы наблюдается в фазе развития на побеге листьев 3-го и 4-го порядков, в фазе отмирания масса ботвы уменьшается, но увеличивается масса клубней. Повреждение ботвы рабочими органами машин для междурядной обработки может привести к распространению вирусов картофеля, развитию ризоктониоза, к снижению урожайности. Целью исследований является определение размерных и прочностных характеристик стеблей ботвы картофеля сортов «Латона» и «Гала». На разрывной машине образцы картофельной ботвы испытывались на разрыв, на специальной установке исследовалась их жесткость. Ботва относится к упруго-вязким материалам. Прочностные свойства ботвы и упругость зависят от степени её созревания – зеленая, увядшая, сухая. Исследованиями установлено, что в кусте сорта «Латона» бывает от 2 до 10 стеблей длиной от 46 до 1332 см. Для сорта «Гала» характерно от 3 до 9 стеблей длиной 38-96 см. Среднее усилие разрыва зеленых стеблей сорта «Латона» составляет 335,6 Н, сорта «Гала» – 236,1 Н, а для сухих стеблей 210,3 Н и 192,4 Н соответственно. Для зеленой ботвы жесткость стеблей диаметром 8,5 мм изменяется от 11890 Н˖мм2 до 6030 Н˖мм2, для увядшей ботвы – от 2922 Н˖мм2 до 1616 Н˖мм2 , для сухой – от 2450 Н˖мм2 до 1870 Н˖мм2.

Potatoes are of great national economic importance and are used for food, technical and fodder purposes. In the Ryazan region, in 2018, potatoes were cultivated on an area of 21.7 thousand hectares. the Average yield was 148.5 C / ha. Intensive potato cultivation technology provides for mechanization of technological operations. During the growing season, Potato tops are necessary for feeding tubers. New tubers begin to form during the budding and flowering phase. During this period, the potatoes must be provided with the necessary amount of nutrients and moisture, the row spacing is loosened to ensure air exchange processes at the roots. Damage to the tops of the working bodies of machines for row-to-row processing can lead to the spread of potato viruses, the development of rhizoctoniosis and, as a result, to a decrease in yield. The largest mass of tops is observed in the development phase on the shoot of leaves of the 3rd and 4th orders, then in the dying phase, the mass of tops decreases, while the mass of tubers increases. The potato harvester receives a pile consisting of soil, tubers, potato tops and plant residues.The purpose of the research is to determine the size characteristics of the stems of potato tops of the Latona and Gala varieties, and to determine the strength characteristics.

In defense of housing: The view of Anglo-American radical geography on the housing crisis and its use in Czechia
Authors: Orcígr Václav
Published: July 2020

The review essay summarizes the basic thoughts and concepts found in Madden and Marcuse’s book (2016)In Defense of Housing. It also connects its key findings with the current situation of housing in Czechia – with a special focus on the capital Prague. The essay presents current data on the alleged housing crisis in Czechia and seeks to find similarities with the development of the housing situation and housing policies in the Anglo-American context analyzed in the book. It shows that most of its conclusions can be used in the post-socialist context of Central Europe, as some of the processes identified in the 1970s at the start of neoliberal policies in the West are now also visible, and even amplified, in former socialist countries. The essay outlines some basic measures that may help to improve the housing situation in Czechia. The review also outlines several ideas that could challenge the dominant discourse promoted by private investors calling for a removal of building regulations and the public’s exclusion from decision-making.

Authors: J. Mustafa Mohammed , A. Abdulkareem Mohammed
Published: July 2020

Field experiment was conducted in Mohajaran region, Abu-Al-Khaseeb district, Basrah province during the growing season 2018. The study was aimed to evaluate the effect of integration of chemical fertilizer (triple superphosphate) with manure (cattle residue) and/ or biofertilizer (Aspergillus niger) on some soil properties and phosphorus availability to sunflower during growing season. Samples were collected at seedling, vegetative growth, flowering and post-harvest stage. pH, EC, moisture content and available P were determined. Results showed that application of chemical fertilizer significantly affected soil pH, EC, and available P, but showed no effect on soil moisture content. Soil pH decreased and EC increased at seedling stage, while EC was decreased at harvest. Available P values were increased at all growing stages. Incorporation of manure at rate of 30 Mg ha-1 considerably decreased the soil pH and increased EC at seedling stage, soil moisture, and available P at all growing stages.. Inoculation the seeds with A. niger showed no significant effect on  soil pH, EC, and soil moisture but significantly increased available P, at vegetative growth and flowing stages . Results  showed that the effect of biofertilizer on available P was in bar with the application of manure at rate of 15 Mg ha-1 .Highest  value of available P was associated with combination of 120 Kg P ha-1 + 30 Mg ha-1 + inoculation with fungus.
