Resolving the paradox between migration and collaboration of scholars worldwide
Authors: Walk Erin , Akbaritabar Aliakbar
Published: August 2024

Scholars substantially contribute to innovation in knowledge economies. Identifying where scholars come from and move to is a core focus of the recent literature. However, whether collaboration networks of scholars affect where they move next is understudied. Studies which do consider scholarly migration and collaboration in tandem report paradoxical findings.We take a two pronged approach, considering both how spatial representations of mobility and collaboration networks compare and how collaboration patterns of mobile authors relate to their movement between institutions. We selected a random sample of authors worldwide from Scopus 2020 data based on number of publications, corresponding authorship, publication in top-ranked journals, and mobility status to construct comparable control/observation groups. Our results enabled us to resolve the paradoxical effect between collaboration and mobility. We found that while the histories of these two variables are highly similar across groups, embedding representations of collaboration are more densely packed than those for mobility which could indicate higher costs of mobility than collaboration. Authors who are mobile or identified as top performers, top 1\% based on our selection criteria, are more likely to have a higher number of collaborators. Furthermore, though few authors collaborate only before or after a mobility event, collaboration increases leading up to a mobility event and the majority of publications with a target institution are published prior to the initial move there. Hence our rigorous investigation using multiple methodologies show that the aggregate direction of effect is from collaboration to mobility. Our methodological framework opens up promising avenues for future research on individual level forecasting of scholarly migration and on global dynamics of academic talent circulation.

Authors: Seena Isamaae , Rahmat  , Ratna Rizky dwi
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the moral condition of students, identifies the factors influencing their moral development, and examines the role of Islamic religious teachers in nurturing these morals at Madrasah Nahdhatul Islamiah Krasak. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research involves observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. To ensure the validity of the findings, the study uses observer persistence and triangulation. The findings reveal several key insights. The moral condition of students at the Madrasah reflects ongoing efforts to cultivate noble character. Teachers are expected to prepare detailed lesson plans and utilize lecture methods and advisory discussions to convey the importance of key moral teachings. Each religious teacher must be well-versed in the Madrasah’s curriculum and have a comprehensive plan for imparting these lessons to their students. Support for fostering student morals comes from several sources. Role modeling by teachers, active involvement from parents, and the availability of Madrasah facilities are identified as significant supporting factors. Conversely, challenges such as the influence of online games, varying student backgrounds, and peer pressure pose obstacles to moral development. The role of Islamic religious teachers is pivotal in creating a conducive learning environment. They are tasked with ensuring that the classroom is safe, clean, aesthetically pleasing, and well-organized. Additionally, teachers are responsible for greeting students, preparing teaching materials in advance, and providing guidance and advice. These efforts are designed to create a positive and calm learning atmosphere aimed at instilling a deep awareness of Islamic values and nurturing noble character among students.

Published: August 2024

Currently, many buildings in Ukraine are affected by significant dynamic loads associated with military operations on the territory of the country. In practice, this can lead to the so-called progressive destruction, however, unlike static loads, shock-explosive loads require an assessment of not only the mechanical characteristics of the building, but also an assessment of its own dynamic characteristics. Such characteristics traditionally include the spectrum of natural frequencies and the forms of oscillations corresponding to them.

Authors: Ryazantsev N. V. , Rudenko A. S. , Eskov M. I. , Shagiev B. Z.
Published: August 2024

This article reports a study into Amur and Euro-Amur grape varieties. The former included ‘Amurskij Triumf’, ‘Amurskij Proryv’, and ‘Proryv Belyj’, while the latter included ‘Neretinskij’, ‘Marinovskij’, and ‘Severnyj Plechistik’. The aim was to investigate changes in the uvological parameters of young Amur grape plants. The mechanical and chemical composition of bunches and berries of Amur and Euro-Amur varieties were analyzed using N. N. Prostoserdov’s approach to uvological estimation of varietal samples. The bunch weight, berry weight, seed weight, skin weight, and rachis weight, as well as the indicators of bunch structure, bunch composition, berry stacking, and berry structure were determined. In most varieties, the average weight of berries during the 2022-2023 period increased. Among the studied Amur genotypes, the largest berry was observed in ‘Amurskij Triumf’ (1.5 g) in 2022 and ‘Severnyj Plechistik’ (2.1 g) in 2023. The highest bunch weight on young plants was observed in the second year of fruiting in ‘Proryv Belyj’ (326.0 g), ‘Amurskij Proryv’ (272.6 g), and ‘Severnyj Plechistik’ (281.8 g). The indicator of seed weight per 100 berries in most varieties increased slightly in the second year of fruiting compared to the first year. In the second year of fruiting, the minimum and maximum seed weight in 100 berries was observed in ‘Amurskij Proryv’ (10.9 g) and ‘Amurskij Triumf’ (22.4 g), respectively. The quality of grape juice was evaluated. The studied grape plants belong to technical varieties and are characterized by small-size berries (1.2-2.1 g), increased levels of titratable acids (7.9-16.6 g/dm3), and an optimal sugar content in berries (up to 23.3 g/100 cm3). The varieties show different uvological parameters under the influence of external conditions. The ‘Proryv Belyj’ variety was found to be optimal for winemaking and juice production in terms of the sugar and titratable acid ratio. Further research is required for a comprehensive uvological characterization of the studied varieties.
Nigeria: Hungry Nation in a Land of Plenty
Authors: Kasuwa Philip Fwaldin
Published: August 2024

Hunger is a pressing global concern. The prevalence of undernourishment, a crucial measure of hunger, is a global challenge. Many factors are responsible including poverty, political instability, economic disparities, climate change, and conflicts. The global nature of hunger underscores the urgency and collective responsibility to address this issue, demanding immediate action from all of us. Often heralded as a land of vast agricultural potential and rich natural and human resources, Nigeria faces a paradoxical struggle with pervasive hunger and food insecurity. This article explores Nigeria’s multifaceted hunger crisis despite its capacity to be a leading food producer in Africa. We examine the socio-economic and political dynamics that contribute to this disparity, including issues such as land distribution inequities and the impact of oil dependency. Additionally, the article analyses the role of government policies and infrastructure deficits. The goal of this work is to 1) analyse the concept of national wealth and its implications for economic development, 2) investigate the factors contributing to hunger and food insecurity in Nigeria despite its abundant resources, 3) provide insights and recommendations for addressing the country’s wealth inequality and hunger challenges, and 4) contribute to the academic understanding of the complex relationship between wealth, poverty, and development in nations.

Cascade Super-Twisting Observer for Linear Multi-Agent Systems Without Communication
Authors: Fomichev V. V. , Samarin A. I.
Published: August 2024

The paper addresses the consensus problem (i.e., the agreement of phase vectors) for a multi-agent system consisting of identical linear agents. The study focuses on the case where there is no communication between agents, meaning there is no exchange of information, and agent control is achieved through the agents’ own sensors, providing incomplete information about the phase vector of the agent and its neighbors, with the information possibly being noisy. To solve this problem, a linear protocol based on observer data for systems under uncertainty is proposed. Cascade observers based on the “super-twisting” method are suggested as such observers. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a controller are obtained, where the observation error converges to zero under limited disturbances. An example illustrating the proposed approach is provided.

The results of a comparative assessment of the winter rye population GC-494/15vv, selected for high viscosity of a water extract (VWE) of grain meal (9,7 sPoise) in order to improve the technological and baking qualities of grain, are presented. Cultivated varieties of winter rye Tatiana, Moskovskaya 12, Moskovskaya 15 and Moskovskaya 18 were used as the standard, in which the VWE varied at the level of 4.4…4.9 sPoise. Comparative tests were carried out in 2017–2023 on plots of 12 m2 in 3-fold repetition. In terms of yield and other traits the differences were unreliable, but in terms of the number of falling and the temperature of starch gelatinization there was a steady trend in the positive direction, and in terms of the volume output of bread – in the negative. In terms of winter hardiness, protein and starch content in grain there was no correlation with the trait of VWE. The influence of the weather conditions of the year on the dynamics of various traits was analyzed. There is a similar dynamics of such traits as the height of the amylogram, the number of falling and the temperature of starch gelatinization for changing weather conditions of the year, which is confirmed by a reliable correlation between them (r = 0,77…0,87). For the trait of VWE a reliable correlation took place only for the starch gelatinization temperature (r = 0,71). The high potential of the VWE reduced the volumetric output of the formed bread, so that it had the best structural and mechanical properties of the crumb. It is concluded that VWE is an important feature in the breeding of winter rye for high baking qualities of grain.

Published: August 2024

Studies were carried out to assess the pathogenicity of the Diaporthe eres species in relation to soybeans using artificial infection methods to clarify the phylogenetic specialization of Diaporthe fungi. The work was carried out in 2021–2023 in the Amur region under conditions of pot experiment. The objects were soybean plants of the early-ripening variety Sentyabrinka and mid-ripening Kitrossa, as well as two strains of microscopic fungi Diaporthe eres. Identification of Diaporthe fungi was carried out by molecular genetic methods and according to cultural and morphological characteristics. Infection of soybean was carried out at different stages development, agar blocks with inoculum were placed on artificially created mechanical damage on the stems. To confirm the penetration of D. eres through natural routes, soybean leaves were inoculated of the studied strains spores suspension. The appearance of disease symptoms and repeated isolation of D. eres from the tissue of an infected plant indicate the manifestation of pathogenicity of the species towards the soybean. Two studied strains of D. eres, previously isolated from apricot shoots, exhibit low aggressiveness towards soybean (the infection rate did not exceed 10 %) as compared with a strain of Diaporthe sp. isolated from a soybean plant (the infection rate was 100 %). The D. eres MF-Pm-4a strain turned out to be more aggressive than D. eres MF-Pm-5a, since the frequency of its repeated isolation from inoculation sites was 20 % higher, and in 10 % of cases it was isolated from non-inoculation sites. Younger soybean plants in the R-1 development phase turned out to be more resistant, they had a longer incubation period, and no visible symptoms of the disease were noted on the 40th day after inoculation. Soybean infection in the R-3 development phase is characterized by a very short incubation period – 15 days. The mid-ripening soybean variety Kitrossa was found to be more resistant than the early-ripening variety Sentyabrinka.

Amidst the substantial growth of date palm cultivation in Oman, this study presents a sustainable approach to utilizing the agricultural by-product of date palm seeds for furfural production. Furfural, a versatile organic compound with a characteristic almond fragrance, is conventionally used in various industrial applications. This research systematically explores two distinct extraction methodologies—Soxhlet extraction with subsequent rotary evaporation and simple distillation—to optimize furfural yield. Critical parameters were meticulously assessed, with optimal humidity at 7.71%, pH at 5.5, and water activity at 0.365 identified as crucial for obtaining high-quality furfural. The investigation further determined that fine particle size and precise humidity control during Soxhlet extraction significantly enhanced furfural yield. Comprehensive analyses through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy confirmed the presence and purity of furfural, indicating successful extraction. These key findings are instrumental for advancing the valorization of date palm residues in Oman and beyond.

Economic development aims to create equal income distribution, and the mature stages of growth will begin to prioritize the manufacturing sector's contribution as a lever for economic growth. This research aims to identify the transformation of sectoral contributions to gross regional domestic product (GRDP) examine the relationship between the contribution of the manufacturing sector, human development, labor force participation and population to income inequality. The case study was conducted in Kedungsepur strategic area in Central Java Province, Indonesia. This research uses a quantitative approach by testing the causal relationship between proxy variables of economic development and income inequality. The data used is secondary data obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) Indonesia. Panel data analysis tests the relationship between variables in economic development and the transformation of sectoral contributions presented descriptively. The results of this research show the transformation of sectoral contributions to Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) in the Kedungsepur strategic area began in 2010. The manufacturing sector dominates the contribution to GRDP, shifting the agricultural sector's contribution. This condition reveals that the Kedungsepur strategic area has reached the mature stages of growth.

This paper evaluates the effectiveness of online education during the pandemic using the extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. The study focuses on undergraduate students at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU). We purposefully selected TNAU for this study due to its significant student population, choosing two-degree programs and four campuses based on the highest enrollments. The sample size, determined using Slovin's formula, comprised 275 undergraduate students. We employed structural equation modeling to evaluate the model. The findings indicate that three paths are particularly significant: system enjoyment (SE) influences effort expectancy (EE), performance expectancy (PE) affects behavioral intention (BI), and facilitating conditions (FC) impact behavioral intention (BI). The UTAUT model provides a nuanced understanding of students’ acceptance of technology, particularly within the context of online education. It serves as an effective tool to measure the impact and acceptance of technology. The complex nature of the online learning environment necessitates an investigation into the critical latent factors that influence students' use of the system. This study, employing an extended UTAUT model, offers valuable insights into online education during the pandemic.
