Authors: Arefyev Alexander Sergeevich
Published: September 2020

Digital economy is a natural stage of development of economic system, in which the main values of economic actors consist in the knowledge and nonmaterial production. Within scientific literature prevail research of the impact of separate aspects of digital transformation upon the activity of tourism agencies and development of vacation destinations, namely the use of digital booking platforms, augmented reality in museums and exhibitions, as well as the Internet of things. However, interrelation of these vectors of development in the process of digital transformation, as well as the mechanisms of its management applicable to the sphere of tourism and Russian economy are studied insufficiently. The subject of this research is the economy and management of a separate tourism agency and the entire industry. The goal of this work consists in conducting a comprehensive research of Russian and foreign literature on the topic of methodology for managing digital transformation in different economic sectors; as well as determination of distinct characteristic of managing digital transformations in tourism sphere and the factors affecting this process. The author applies comparative analysis of literary sources and experience of managing digital transformation through implementation of digital platforms. The introduction of platform approach in management of digital transformation substantiated the transition towards network service interaction (versus traditional cooperation) as the backbone of the economy. Digital transformation of the entire economic sector requires close collaboration of economic actors within the framework of a region or a country. A conclusion is made the most appropriate model of the development of tourism sector of the economy is the ecosystem of digital platforms. Due to its peculiarities, tourism sphere can become a favorable platform for approbation of management techniques of digital transformation, functionality of regional digital platforms and system integrators.

Published: September 2020

Despite heightened interest of the international and national financial institutions and enterprises of the real economic sector in distributed data storage technologies, there are very few research dedicated to the problems of assessment of blockchain platforms’ potential in socioeconomic environment and their theoretical comprehension. The existing works usually reveal either a technical side of the object of research, or normative legal aspects of applicability of blockchain technologies in national economy. The object of this article is the financial sector of national economy of the Russian Federation. The subject is the relations established between the participants of financial market based on blockchain technologies and the effects thereof. An attempt is made to fill the gaps in studying such aspects as economic and social effects of implementation of blockchain technologies into the activity of economic entities. Based on assessment of the forming effects, caused by integration of the distributed data storage technologies into the system of economic operations, the author carries out a formalized assessment and scenario modeling of the dynamics of GDP growth in the new institutional economic conditions. This research is aimed as strengthening the positions of formalized approaches towards studying the articulated scientific-practical problem on the background of overwhelming dominance of qualitative approaches towards examination of blockchain technologies.

Published: September 2020

The aggregation of molecules in devices plays a central role in determining their functionalproperties. In the aggregated state, pi conjugated chromophores can exhibit enhanced emissionin comparison to their dilute solution. Here we synthesize and characterize a diketopyrrolopyrrole(DPP) based donor-acceptor molecule in terms of its optical properties insolution and thin film. Temperature and concentration dependent photoluminescence studiesreveal the presence of both H and J aggregates in thin film, which is corroborated bycomputational investigations of the coulombic coupling in the crystal structure of the DPPderivative. We find that the type of aggregate formed is extremely sensitive to the variationin the shearing angle between the monomers in the crystal structure geometry.

Authors: Nipun Bawiskar  , Amol Andhale  , Sourya Acharya  , Sunil Kumar  , Samarth Shukla
Published: September 2020

SARS-CoV2 started as pneumonia of unknown aetiology in Wuhan, China. Considered a respiratory pathogen primarily initially, COVID 19 is now identified as a systemic infection with significant effects on the hematopoietic system. Lymphopenia, peak platelet/ lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio are some of the parameters that could be considered as prognostic markers of the disease. Disseminated intravascular coagulation, along with elevated D-dimer levels, are commonly encountered and are usually associated with a worsening clinical picture. IL-6, C reactive protein and Lactate Dehydrogenase with high serum prolactin and serum ferritin levels project a dismal outcome. Venous thromboembolism occurs in both ambulatory and bedridden patients making thromboprophylaxis with LMWH popular. To correlate haematological parameters like lymphopenia, deranged coagulation profile and elevated d- dimer levels with the outcome (recovery or death) of the patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. In this prospective cross-sectional study, data will be gathered from patients found to be positive for COVID 19 with the duration of the study being four months. Lymphopenia, elevated D-dimer levels and deranged coagulation profile are expected in patients with COVID-19. Haematological parameter like lymphopenia raised D-dimer levels, and deranged coagulation profile are associated with poor prognosis in COVID 19.
MODELOS MENTAIS DE RELAÇÃO ENTRE CIÊNCIA E FÉ: DESAFIOS PARA A FORMAÇÃO DOCENTE
Authors: Santos Laiene Maria Rodrigues dos , Soares Elane Chaveiro , Ribeiro Marcel Thiago Damasceno
Published: September 2020

A temática que propõe um diálogo entre os campos da Ciência e da Religião vem se constituindo como uma alternativa atraente e promissora para o âmbito da formação docente, em especial, no ensino das Ciências. Isso porque, ainda que polêmico e desafiador, os estudos requerem que se considere os pressupostos de cada pessoa no ajuste de sua cosmovisão durante a formação inicial, além de se aprofundar na compreensão da História e da Filosofia da Ciência que apure a epistemologia da natureza da Ciência. Nesta pesquisa, o objetivo foi o de esboçar compreensões iniciais sobre o modelo mental da relação entre Ciência e Religião dos estudantes da primeira equipe da residência pedagógica em Química da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso - Brasil. Com metodologia qualitativa de viés exploratório e aplicação de questionário, com a resposta de 12 (doze) participantes, destaca-se, de forma preliminar, a crença de que algo divino e sobrenatural deve existir. Todos concordam que é possível ser um cientista sério e, ainda assim, nutrir crenças religiosas e apontam, ainda, que é preciso realizar pesquisas científicas de forma ética e moralmente comprometida com  estas crenças. Há uma tendência percebida entre os participantes de pensar a partir do modelo do diálogo – algo que gostariam que ocorresse – em detrimento do modelo do conflito, presente em suas reflexões de cunho acadêmico.

A strong case of dilution in the Yellow-throated Toucan (Ramphastos ambiguus)
Authors: Mora José Manuel , López Umaña Lucía I.
Published: September 2020

Plumage color aberrations are common in birds, but often it is difficult or even impossible to identify them properly in the field. Several of these aberrations are common, especially progressive greying, leucism and ino, although there is confusion among the different mechanisms. Other aberrations are rare or infrequently reported. Dilution, for example, refers to a reduced concentration of melanin granules that dilutes the color, although the pigment itself is not changed. It affects the entire plumage, rather than single feathers. The Yellow-throated Toucan (Ramphastos ambiguus) is predominantly black, and has feathers with brown tips, red under the tail coverts, and feathers above the tail are cream colored. It has a yellow bib covering the throat and chest with red band countering it, and the skin of the face is chartreuse. The Yellow-throated Toucan is most notable for its massive, bicolored bill. Here we report an apparent strong case of dilution in the Yellow-throated Toucan. An individual observed at La Unión, Guápiles on the Caribbean versant of Costa Rica on 10 October 2019 almost lacked melanin, but retained carotenoids. The tertials and some feathers on the rump were very light grey, suggesting strong dilution. We also discuss other possible explanations for this amazing coloration.

Published: September 2020

Production of environmentally friendly cucumber products is one of the important problems of modern vegetable growing. In the current situation, many issues of cucumber technology using the low-volume technology method require adjustment and further improvement. The purpose of the research was to study and assess the effect of combinations of zircon with biofertilizers against the background of the use of biological products on the growth, development, yield and quality of cucumber. The complex treatment of cucumber plants of the F1 Atlet hybrid with biologically active substances (BAS) contributed to an increase in biometric indicators in comparison with the control throughout the entire crop rotation. The period from germination to the beginning of flowering and fruiting decreased, the plant height increased by 7.2–13.2% and the stem diameter by 12.5–17.5%. The yield was significantly influenced by the growth of the leaf area of cucumber plants, which increased in variants with experimental technologies by 5.9–34%. Under the influence of the studied factors, the yield of standard cucumber production increased by 8.0–27.6%. The mass fraction of fruits that do not meet the requirements of the standard was 6.6–8.1%. On the control variant, the output of non-standard products increased to 10%. The highest net income and level of profitability were obtained with the combined use of Zircon with Ecofus, both against the background of the use of biological products (659.3 rubles / m2 or 38.4%) and without them (685.13 rubles / m2 or 40.1%).

Authors: Radhwani Kukanta , Singh Anita
Published: September 2020

Manu Bhandari is a socialist writer of the post-independence era. His writings have the unique ability to catch macro and subtle changes coming in the society on the right surface. The effect of changes is always double - external and internal. One influence crushes a person from inside, and the other society gives equal support in making life hollow. The writer has raised the problems of married life on a double level, in her story she has depicted the subtle process of changing the relationship between the male-female traditional macro relationship. Manu Bhandari considers woman to be indispensable with the man in life, but she is not blind to her husband nor should she carry out the work of a housewife, only a machine. She also rivals her husband in political life to fulfill her principles, ideals and even marries or remarries when she feels alienated from her husband. Manu Bhandari creates various forms of woman in her story with full ease and seriousness to her modern woman, not as a woman draped by traditions, carrying the burden of slavery and slavery.

Published: September 2020

The aim of this study was to contribute to the improvement of knowledge on the growth of endogenous catfish of Cameroon Clarias jaensis to develop the standards of his breeding. For this purpose, 396 fingerlings (36.7 ± 10.1 g) were divided into four comparable group with three replications. Four experimental rations containing 3000, 3100, 3200 and 3300 Kcal/kg of metabolize energy were distributed in these group at 5% of ichtyobiomasse. Except the feed intake and survival rate, other growth characteristics were comparable (P>0.05) between rations. The higher feed intake and the lowest consumption index were recorded with the ration containing 3000 Kcal/kg. The weight (95.10 ± 8.14 g), total length (23.77 ± 1.15 cm), weight gain (58.70 ± 9.49g), average daily gain (1.01 ± 0.16 g), specific growth rate (1.66 ± 0.26%) and K factor (0.71 ± 0.05) were higher with the ration containing the lowest level of energy. This reveals that Clarias jaensis fingerlings requires less energy for growth compared to other catfish like Clarias gariepinus. In view of the above and given the cost of manufacturing the food, the ration containing 3000 kcal/kg would be agro economically sustainable although the search for the optimal level of energy remains.

Capturing their “first” dataset: A graduate course to walk PhD students through the curation of their dissertation data
Authors: Sapp Nelson Megan , Kong Ningning Nicole
Published: September 2020

The data set accompanying theses is a valuable intellectual property asset, both from the viewpoint of the PhD student, who can procure employment and build publications and research grants from the work for years to come, and the university, which owns the data and has invested in the work. However, the data set has generally not been captured as a finished product in a similar manner to the published thesis. A course has been developed which walks PhD students through the process of identifying an archival data set, selecting a repository or long term storage location, creating metadata and documentation for the data package, and the deposit process. A pre- and post assessment has been designed to ascertain the level of data literacy the students gain through curating their own dataset. PIs for the projects have input into the repositories and metadata standards selected.  The university thesis office was consulted as the course was developed, so that accurate procedures and practices are reflected throughout the course. This first of a kind class is open to students of any discipline at a Research-1 university. The resulting mixture of data types creates a unique course every time it is offered.

Published: September 2020

Faced with increased diversification of methodologies in the polling industry, the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research Center is embarking on a major initiative aimed at increasing methodological transparency across the field of public opinion survey research by increasing minimum disclosure requirements and providing users with transparency scoring for new submissions to the archive.
Roper Center, the world’s largest archive of public opinion survey data, has long enforced disclosure requirements for archival submissions based on transparency standards developed by professional organizations in the polling industry, particularly the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR). Roper Center’s new requirements and scoring mechanism expand longstanding policies and procedures to better meet the challenges of today’s research environment.In this paper, Roper Center’s new standards will be described in the context of the historical development of transparency expectations in the polling community. The paper presentation will also detail the implementation process, providing an account of how standards were translated into actionable DDI-based metadata to drive an automatic scoring system, how new workflows were developed with input from data providers to facilitate maximum disclosure, and how the display of the user interface was designed to ensure the transparency information can be easily viewed and understood.

Lokasi Kecamatan Wates terletak di Kabupaten Blitar bagian Selatan yang memiliki satuan morfologi perbukitan sedimen dengan bukit bergelombang dan kemiringan landai yaitu antara 10-30% yang membentuk punggung bukit tidak teratur.Metode desk study merupakan suatu metode yang dilakukan untuk mengumpulkan data maupun informasi secara sekunder. Pada data sekunder dilakukan analisis tumpang susun (overlay) dengan Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG).Hasil penelitian ini berupa peta rawan gerakan tanah, peta ini diperoleh dari overlay antara beberapa peta, yaitu peta geologi, peta curah hujan, peta topografi, peta kemiringan lereng, dan peta pengembangan lahan. Dari hasil overlay tersebut diperoleh proses penggabungan beberapa peta tematik dengan area yang sama dan menghamparkan satu dengan yang lain untuk membentuk satu layer peta baru yang memberikan informasi mengenai beberapa lereng, mulai dari lereng 15%-20%hingga lereng >40%, dengan curah hujan antara 1500-2000 mm/tahun hingga >2000 mm/tahun. Daerah tersebut di kelompokkan menjadi zona gerakan tanah rendah, sedang dan tinggi. Warna hasil overlay peta ditentukan oleh besar intensitas pixel penyusunnya. Warna ini diperoleh dari besar kecilnya intensitas cahaya yang ditangkap oleh sensor. Karena intensitas cahaya di alam (gradasi intensitas analog) tidak terbatas dan belum ada alat yang mampu menangkap seluruh gradasi warna sehingga dilakukan proses kuantisasi yaitu suatu proses transformasi intensitas analog yang bersifat kontinu ke daerah yang memiliki intensitas diskrit.

Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate demographic features of pediatric B-ALL patients in Pakistani population and their prognosis in a Tertiary Care Hospital. Study Design: Descriptive study. Setting: Department of Pathology Tertiary Care Children Hospital, Lahore. Period: 1st January 2016 to 31st December 2016. Material & Methods: A total of 66 samples of newly diagnosed B-ALL patients (aged 1-15 years) were taken for study. For diagnosis of B-ALL, bone marrow aspiration, cytochemical staining, immunophenotyping was done. Results: Out of 66 B-ALL patients, 35 (53%) were males and 31 (47%) were females. The median age for pediatric ALL subjects was 5 years. Out of 66 B-ALL patients, 39 (59%) were in standard risk group. The prognosis of ALL patients in our study was poor as compared with international statistics with 12/21 deaths (57%) in standard risk group. Also, history of consanguinity of parents was significantly high in dead patients (p = 0.013). Deaths were also comparatively more in males than in females. Conclusion: The prognosis of pediatric B-ALL patients in our study was poor as compared with international statistics because of multifactorial reasons. Strategies are needed to be adopted to improve the outcome of B-ALL patients in our population.

Objectives: The hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), especially severe preeclampsia are most common cause of neonatal and maternal mortality and morbidity. Alteration in metabolism of calcium and magnesium during pregnancy is considered to be one of etiological factor for pre-elampsia. Study Design: Case-control study. Settings: Departments of Pathology and Gynecology and Obstetrics, Bahawal Victoria Hospital. Period: September 2018 to June 2019. Material & Methods: To compare whether serum levels of calcium or magnesium showed significant change in mild and severe preeclamptic patients as compared to control group. Research population consisted of pregnant females that were divided into three groups. The mild and severe preeclamptic groups comprised of 55 and 26 participants respectively and 45 were included in control group. The serum calcium and magnesium levels were measured in these groups. Results: Maximum numbers of preeclamptic cases were presented at 28-32 week of gestation while severe pre-eclamptic group showed most cases in 33-36 weeks. In both groups, most of cases occurred in multiparous women as compared to nulliparous women. The normotensive group showed serum calcium and magnesium levels of 9.08±0.63 and2.12±0.22mg/dl while mild preeclamptic (mPE) had mean value of 7.91±0.64 and 1.58±0.42mg/dl and measurement were 7.67±0.48 and 1.26±0.44 in cases of severe pre eclampsia (sPE). Serum magnesium levels were significantly lower in sPE as compared to mPE (<0.0001) while difference was not statistically significant for serum calcium level (0.14). Conclusion: Both decrease level of serum calcium and magnesium might be risk factor in development of preeclampsia with more emphasis on role of low magnesium as a prognostic marker in severe preeclamptic cases.

Objectives: To see the detrimental effects of arsenic kushta (kushta-e-Sammulfur) induced toxicity in wistar rats. Study Design: Experimental Study. Setting: Department of Morbid Anatomy and Histopathology, University of Health Sciences, Lahore. Period: 02nd June 2016 to 30th September 2016. Material & Methods: This experimental study was conducted on a total of 48 wistar rats, each weighing approximately, 200-300grams. These rats were then randomly divided into four groups each of them comprising of 12 rats. Group I was taken as a control group which was given flour pellets. Group II was given a single dose of 180 mg/kg of arsenic kushta for 2 weeks, whereas Groups III was given 150 mg/kg of arsenic kushta only for 12 weeks and Group IV was also given dose of 150 mg/kg of arsenic kushta along with 75mg of Bovine Serum Albumin for 12 weeks. Histopathological changes were then seen in the germinal epithelium, stages of spermatogenesis and insterstitium of testes of rats. Results: Changes in germinal epithelium, stages of spermatogenesis and interstitium were seen in all the above groups except group 1 which was the control group. Maximum changes were seen in groups C and D which were given high doses of arsenic kushta along with injection of bovine serum albumin. Conclusion: Arsenic kushta preparation of kushta-e-Summulfur causes testicular toxicity in wistar rats and have similar toxic effects in human beings.
The Origins of Maya Stingless Beekeeping

Beekeeping among the modern Maya of Yucatan, Mexico, reflects an intricate network of symbiotic relationships between bees, flowering plants, humans, and the managed landscape, which includes both settlements ( kaaj, [kah]) and the cultivated and fallow farmlands surrounding them ( k'ax). Native stingless bees are valued today both for the honey and wax they produce and the crops they pollinate. This study utilizes the ethnobiology of modern Maya stingless beekeeping to interpret the material correlates of ancient Maya beekeeping through archaeological exploration at Late Formative (200 BC–AD 200) Cerro Maya, Belize. Our contemporary data focus on the species of bees kept, the characteristics of wood species preferred for hive structures ( hobon[ob]), the functional parameters of limestone disk hobon covers ( mak tuun[ob]), and the plant species identified in symbiotic cultivation with them. The ecological and cultural factors that mediate stingless beekeeping in the present day provide important insights for the interpretation of ancient beekeeping practices at Cerro Maya, evidenced in the worked limestone disks hypothesized to be ancient mak tuunob. Beyond Cerro Maya, the documentation of beekeeping activity throughout ancient urban centers has important implications for the interpretation of urban green spaces in early Maya cities. Together with information on the ritual use of hive furniture and effigies, these data suggest ancient elites recognized the importance of pollinator species, and that deliberate management of stingless bees was standard practice during the period of agricultural intensification known as the Late Formative.

Fertilizer is the most important thing in terms of caring for plant growth. This was identified because fertilizer has nutrient mineral elements which are really needed by the plants themselves. Fertilizer itself is divided into organic and inorganic fertilizers. Still related to the type of fertilizer itself, in order to get plants with good quality and cultivation, the fertilizer given must be balanced because it is in line with the contents that exist in each type of fertilizer. Inorganic fertilizer or better known as chemical fertilizer is more popular with many people because of its practicality, but it should be remembered that excessive use of chemical fertilizers also have a negative impact on soil fertility. Therefore organic fertilizer still plays a role in the field of inorganic fertilizer in order to offset the need for soil itself. Understanding the importance of a balance between organic and inorganic fertilizers, the community service conducted by providing training in making Guano fertilizer at SMK Muhammadiyah 3 Morowudi Gresik was chosen to be applied. Guano fertilizer was chosen as an alternative to the addition of a companion formula rather than inorganic fertilizer because of its content which is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, postasium which is needed by plants. Efforts to provide training to students of SMK Muhammadiyah 3 Morowudi Gresik are also expected to be able to boost cooperation than the students themselves in developing their potential to contribute to the community and schools
