Analysis of Translation Techniques and Syntactic in Translation of the Kediri State Islamic Institute for the Academic Community of the Arabic Education Study Program
Authors: Afyuddin Moh. Sholeh , Gunawan Riski
Published: November 2022

The name does not have the connotation of a particular language meaning, except to indicate what it is named after. Thus the name does not need to be translated into another language. In fact, when translated it will be prone to misunderstandings about what is meant. In the case of the translation of IAIN Kediri into Arabic carried out by the academic community of the Arabic language education study program, more than one variety of translations emerged, namely: 1) الجامعة الإسلامية الحكومية كديري dan 2) جامعة كديريالإسلامية الحكومية . This is due to differences in the techniques used to translate them. This inconsistency certainly resulted in the emergence of the allegation that the campus in question was different. This study uses a qualitative method by taking data from several student writings contained in thesis documents, papers, journal articles and books published by IAIN Kediri, web pages, and others and trying to find the most popular variety of translations. The findings of the analysis conclude that the technique of determining the equivalent of words in the two translations is exactly the same, namely using the generalization technique on the word institute, the reduction technique in the translation of Islamic religious words, the literal technique on the word Negeri and the borrowing technique which is naturalized on the word Kediri. Syntactic analysis concludes that there is a grammatical gap in the first translation model due to the use of a literal method that is oriented to the source text. While in the second translation model there is no grammatical gap, because the translation uses transmutation techniques so that the translation results have a pattern that is known in the target language.

Contested Justice: Rethinking Educational Equity Through New York City’s COVID-19 School Reopening Debates
Authors: Freidus Alexandra , Turner Erica O.
Published: November 2022

This study examines competing justice claims that stakeholders policymakers, district leaders, families, and educators evoked during the 2020 COVID-19 New York City school reopening debates. Drawing on thematic analysis of 300 news and opinion articles, we examine stakeholders’ overlapping and contested understandings of justice in public education, including claims related to how school resources are distributed, whom district policies recognize, and who is represented in policymaking. In addition to deepening our understanding of the educational politics of the COVID-19 pandemic—an event with field-changing consequences—our analysis offers researchers and policymakers a more robust basis for advancing equity and conceptualizing just educational policy for multiple stakeholders.
School Vouchers and College Enrollment: Experimental Evidence From Washington, DC
Authors: Chingos Matthew M. , Kisida Brian
Published: November 2022

Washington, DC’s Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP), the only federally funded school voucher program in the United States, has provided private school scholarships to low-income students in DC since 2004. From its inception, the program has received significant attention in national debates and has been the subject of rigorous evaluations mandated by Congress. We conduct an experimental evaluation of the effect of the OSP on college enrollment by comparing the college enrollment rates of students offered a scholarship in lotteries held in 2004 and 2005 with those of students who applied but did not win a scholarship. Students who won scholarships to attend private schools were not significantly more or less likely to enroll in college than students who did not.

Authors: Harmon-Jones Eddie , Szymaniak Kinga , Harmon-Jones Sylvia
Published: November 2022

The present research aimed to better understand individual differences in attitudes towards emotions with a focus on anger. We report findings of four studies conducted with American and Polish individuals. Results showed that individuals who have more positive attitudes toward anger are higher in trait anger (Studies 1- 4), are more likely to think about getting revenge (Study 1), and expect that getting revenge will make them feel good (Studies 1 - 2). In addition, these individuals are lower in agreeableness and lower in the tendency to engage in avoidance when angered (Studies 1 - 4). They score lower in humility (Studies 3 - 4), lower in secure romantic attachment but higher in anxious and avoidance attachment (Study 3). Finally, they are more likely to believe a wide range of conspiracies (Studies 2 - 4). Discussion focuses on the implications of these results.
Competing numerical magnitude codes in decimal comparison: whole number and rational number distance both impact performance
Authors: Rosenberg-Lee Miriam , Varma Sashank , Cole Michael W. , Abreu-Mendoza Roberto A.
Published: November 2022

A critical difference between decimal and whole numbers is that among whole numbers the number of digits provides reliable information about the size of the number, e.g., double-digit numbers are larger than single-digit numbers. However, for decimals, fewer digits can sometimes denote a larger number (i.e., 0.8 > 0.27). Accordingly, children and adults perform worse when comparing such Inconsistent decimal pairs relative to Consistent pairs, where the larger number also has more digits (i.e., 0.87 > 0.2). Two explanations have been posited for this effect. The string length congruity account proposes that participants compare each position in the place value system, and they additionally compare the number of digits. The semantic interference account suggests that participants additionally activate the whole number referents of numbers – the numbers unadorned with decimal points (e.g., 8 < 27) – and compare these. The semantic interference account uniquely predicts that for Inconsistent problems with the same actual decimal distance, those with a larger whole number distances should be harder, e.g., 0.9 vs. 0.81 should be harder than 0.3 vs. 0.21 because 9 << 81 whereas 3 < 21. Here we test this prediction in two experiments with college students (Study 1: n = 66 participants, Study 2: n = 85). Across both, we find both a main effect of consistency, reaffirming the string length hypothesis, but also that whole number distance interferes with processing conflicting decimals, supporting the semantic interference proposal. Evidence for both explanations indicates that decimal comparison difficulties arise from multiple competing numerical codes.

Published: November 2022

Economists are increasingly interested in how to conduct experiments with teenagers. This paper evaluates whether different methodological factors impact the answers of teenagers to standard experimental tasks on measuring time preferences, risk preferences, cognitive abilitiesand financial abilities, among others. Results show: i) the recruitment process matters depending on whether the school includes the experiment as an institutional activity or the teachers led the process particularly for their class; the dropout rate reduced significantly from the first to the third experimental wave, when the school was responsible for organizing the experiment; ii) hypothetical payments elicits similar results than monetary payments; iii)adding visual elements to the experiment’s interface improves the quality of answers; and iv) the type of electronic device on which subjects answer the tasks does not influence results, while administrating the experiment by school teachers does affect the answers. We concludeby giving three suggestions to researchers interested in conducting experiments with teenagers: first, run the experiment as a school-programmed activity; second, it is not necessary the use of real payments which increases the cost and complicates the recruitment; and third, integratevisual components to the task.

Food Production in the Wabigoon Basin: The First Nine Thousand Years
Authors: Peotto Tom , Nelson Connie
Published: November 2022

This local history of the Wabigoon Basin surveys food security in the region over the longue durée: from the retreat of the glaciers until the imposition of the Indian Act and industrialization in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Synthesizing local history and ethnohistory with recent archaeological and anthropological readings of landscapes managed by Indigenous peoples as anthropogenic spaces, we aim to critique traditional nineteenth-century historiography that saw Canadian landscapes (especially the Canadian Shield) as untouched wilderness before Euro-Canadian agriculture. Here, we use colonization in the 1890s not as a beginning point for history but, rather, as an end point for nine thousand years of Indigenous peoples’ food sovereignty, unhindered by bureaucracy and third-party management. We also discuss the conceptual gap between the reality of Indigenous (specifically Ojibwe/Anishinaabeg) farming food production and farming in the Dryden-Wabigoon and Boundary Waters region, within their long history of innovation and adaptation versus Euro-Canadian fantasies of Indigenous stasis and unpopulated wilderness used to justify late-19th-century colonization.

Location Matters: Using Online Writing Tutorials to Enhance Knowledge Production
Authors: Luyt Ilka
Published: November 2022

Students enrolled in asynchronous online courses explore much of the subject matter through computer-mediated discussion. In this context, students must often negotiate complex factors such as the course content, the assignment goals, their audience, disciplinary expectations, and the writing process. Writing Centres offer students support services to help them succeed in these text-heavy courses. Typically, students come to Writing Centres in person for help with their critical reading and writing assignments; however, increasingly, tutors are asked to participate in online settings to assist student learning.  A question associated with online tutoring practices is whether students improve their writing skills when they are given the opportunity to get feedback from a tutor and from peers. How can a cooperative, collaborative pedagogical approach to computer-mediated tutoring support students and improve teaching? This paper examines a pedagogical exploration where one tutor interacted asynchronously with students by posting weekly writing activities. Students were asked to respond individually and collaboratively to each activity. I argue that when a tutor in an online course provides feedback, the collaboration creates a new online ecology of reflection and collaboration that may benefit students in their growth as writers. This exploration can be a useful writing pedagogy that can assist instructors by making stronger connections between students’ writing knowledge and writing practices.

Authors: Gutsalenko Liubov , Popova Olena
Published: November 2022

The relevance of the study is determined by the necessity to find ways to improve accounting and analytical support for the management needs of agrarian business enterprises, one of which is the development of a management reporting system that will take into account the specifics of the activity of each economic entity.

The study purpose is to deepen the understanding of the essence and management reporting meaning in the conditions of an unstable external environment. The research methodology is based on theoretical developments and scientific tools, which included: critical analysis and systematic approach (when studying the essence of management reporting), comparison method (when studying the main differences between management and financial reporting).

The article examines the essence of management reporting and the principles of its formation. A comparative analysis of financial and management reporting was carried out according to the features selected by the author. Attention is focused on the principles of management reporting, the observance of which makes the latter an effective tool for decision-making by enterprise managers.

As a result of the conducted research, a proper definition of the concept of "management reporting" was proposed - it is a separate type of internal reporting of the enterprise, which is a complex of interrelated indicators regarding its functioning, the purpose of which is to provide operational information for making strategic and operational management decisions.

As a result of the conducted research, a mechanism for organizing the formation of the management reporting system at the enterprise was developed, which involves the implementation of four stages, in particular: improvement of accounting support for the needs of management reporting; development of reporting indicators for management needs; internal regulatory regulation of the management reporting system; debugging software for the needs of the management reporting system. The introduction of proposals into the activities of enterprises will allow organizing a system of management reporting and using its advantages as a tool for planning and controlling the achievement of the goals of the business entity.

Prospects for further research will be investigation into the peculiarities of the formation of management reporting at enterprises of the agrarian sector of the economy and the impact of industry specifics on reporting indicators, reporting forms, and the order of its preparation.
ECONOMIC ESSENCE OF FOREIGN ECONOMIC OPERATIONS AND ITS STATE REGULATION
Authors: Shevchenko Natalia
Published: November 2022

The article elaborates on the theoretical foundations for determining foreign economic operations from the point of view of different scientific schools of the 19th–20th centuries. The economic nature of foreign economic operations is substantiated, namely, the knowledge of the economic essence of taxation of foreign economic operations is deepened in terms of defining the concept of payment for customs clearance services as payment for access of foreign producers to domestic markets; the theoretical foundations of the process of state regulation of foreign economic operations are summarized, the process of regulation of foreign economic operations is analyzed using the views of economists.

A classification of interrelated components of taxation of foreign economic operations has been formed with the selection of internal and external factors, with the help of which the state will influence the formation of the structure and directions of development of foreign economic activity.

In this context, it is proposed to divide taxes on foreign economic transactions into two categories of internal and external taxes, which, in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine, are charged to the budget during foreign economic transactions.

In the process of research, the economic significance of the customs duty was deepened and it was determined that, unlike other indirect taxes, which primarily aim at fiscal goals, the customs duty is an instrument of financial regulation of the country's economy, namely, it stimulates inefficient domestic production and performs other functions for the development of foreign trade.

The theoretical provisions of the study, the given generalizations make such a contribution to the theory of taxation of foreign economic operations, which determines the practical significance of the research results by the possibility of using the developed scientific provisions in the further improvement of taxation of foreign economic operations with products of agro-industrial production
SUNFLOWER OIL MARKET IN UKRAINE: STATE AND CHALLENGES
Authors: Makarchuk Oksana
Published: November 2022

This paper aims to provide analysis of state and challenges of the sunflower oil market in Ukraine. To conduct purposes in the article, the significance of agriculture was highlighted and evaluation of Ukrainian sunflower oil market was done.

Market research of sunflower oil market was divided on two periods: (1) before the russian invasion to Ukraine; (2) the period of the hostilities on the Ukrainian territory. The period until hostilities characterizes by growing tendency of sunflower oil production in Ukraine and increase of export capacities. Indeed, in 2020/2021 MY 5010 thousand t of sunflower oil was produced, where 93% was exported that is 40% on the world supply of sunflower oil on the market. At the same time Ukraine cover sunflower oil domestic needs, i.e. approximately 10% of total production. The indices of self-sufficiency ratio was increased each years and in 2020/2021 MY was equalled to 9.61%.

The second period in Ukraine could be distinguish by problems, which negatively harm the sunflower oil market due to hostilities, i.e. disturbance of supply chains due to blocked ports; partially mined the territory and ongoing hostilities, which decrease harvested area under sunflower; increase prices of input factors for sunflower oil production; sunflower seeds and sunflower oil prices volatility. In turn, these lead to the situation, when sunflower products manufacturing, export and economic indices are unpredictable.

Taking into account the fact that Ukrainian sunflower oil is export oriented product, accordingly on domestic market are influenced prices that formed at the world markets of vegetable oils. In the article the sunflower oil prices were forecasted for short time period. It showed price increase and at the end of the year could be reach to 1700 US dollar per tone. Indeed, positive trend on the world market will bring benefits for processing enterprises despite on uncertainty of country environment
CONCEPT OF ANALYSIS OF EXPLICITLY SPECIFIED VIBRATION FUNCTION OF SYNCHRONOUS THREADED FASTENERS OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY
Authors: MYKHAYLOVYCH Y. , RUBETS А.
Published: November 2022

The article offers a point of view on the study of vibration load of synchronous threaded connections from the analysis of vibration recording in relative units. There are six main steps that can be used to "read" the vibration of the threaded connection of agricultural machinery. Based on the vibration analysis, the concept of vibration load analysis of synchronous threaded connections of agricultural machinery is proposed. threaded connection of agricultural machinery allows to judge the load of the threaded connection by transverse forced vibration according to the following parameters: the number of frequencies relative to the X and Y axes; the range of displacements along the X and Y axes; the ratio of the sides of the vibration rectangle; presence and placement of dominant vibration units; closed or not closed trajectory, whether there is an axis of symmetry; the direction of growth of the set of points with time on the trajectory. Studies are relevant for use in simulation modeling of this process in order to predict the development of the threaded connection and planning preventive actions.
EFFICIENCY OF USE OF GARLIC (ALLIUM SATIVUM) IN FEEDING YOUNG QUAIL MEAT DIRECTION OF PRODUCTIVITY
Authors: Mykhailenko T. , Sychov M.
Published: November 2022

It's In the last decade, the uncontrolled use of antibiotics as livestock growth stimulants has led to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens and an increase in the risk of infectious diseases. This situation has caused intensive research efforts to find safe alternative strategies. Of course, plants, vegetables and their derivatives as natural non-hazardous substances can be excellent candidates in this regard. To substantiate and establish the features of the use of garlic in poultry feeding as a substitute for antibiotics to optimize digestion and increase the body's resistance to diseases, as well as to improve feed consumption and increase digestibility by the body became the goal of work. The main tasks of the study have become the main tasks of the study to establish the optimal dose of administration of garlic extract into poultry feed and study the impact of various doses on the meat productivityof quails. A study of the effectiveness of the use of garlic (Allium sativum) in feeding young quails ofthe meat direction of productivity is carried out. The experiment consisted of five periods and lasted 35 days. To do this, 4 quail groups of 100 goals each were formed. The first (control) group was fed complete feed, the second (research) group was 0,3 g/kg of garlic powder, the third (research) group was fed 0,6 g/kg, the fourth (research) group was 0,9 g/kg.

It has been experimentally established that feeding dry garlic powder quails in mixed fodder at 0,6 g/kg contributed to an increase in body weight at 35-day age by 5,4 %, the complex at 0,3 g/kg also contributed to a probable increase in poultry body weight at the age of 35 days, namely by 3,5%. The total absolute increase in quails for the entire growth period confirms the impact of garlic use on changes in bird growth. The largest increase was found in quails fed dry garlic powder, namely 0,6 g/kg of mixed fodder.

The use of dry garlic powder in quail feeding did not affect their safety.

Published: November 2022

With the changing age and developing technology, existing classical payment systems cannot fully meet the demands and needs of people. As a result of the global economic crisis of 2008, the trust in real markets and central financial institutions was shaken; Introduced by Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin and blockchain technology have been introduced as an alternative to the current financial system. In this context, cryptocurrencies have entered our lives rapidly. Today, as in many sectors, it is observed that the use of cryptocurrencies in tourism is increasing rapidly and the examples are increasing. Many hotels, travel businesses, entertainment services businesses and catering businesses have included and started using cryptocurrencies in many areas. The traces of this radical change, of course, will seriously change the tourism sector in the future. In terms of predicting the change and predicting the future of the sector; It is the students of tourism who will shape the sector. In this study, which was prepared based on this, 390 tourism students were reached online. The questionnaire in the study consists of two parts. In the first part, there are questions about students' demographic information and students' crypto usage. The second part consists of statements about tourists' purchasing intention, utility-functionality, perception and trust in cryptocurrencies during the use of crypto coins in tourism establishments. How the students who will be the tourism professionals of the future are affected by the changes and transformations and the determination of their thoughts about the use of crypto coins in tourism enterprises are also important points of the study.

Authors: AYTEKİN Cemile Arzu , BAHADIR Aşkın
Published: November 2022

The psychoanalytic analysis method aims to identify the artist's life experiences, traumas, traces of his self and traces of his psychic structure in the work revealed in the visual arts. The facts intended to be revealed in question reveal the autobiography of the artist in his work. While examining the psychic structure of the artist, it was determined that the artist produced autobiographical works with a Feminist approach, sometimes with life experiences and early effects on the artist's psyche. While feminist artists aimed to defend gender equality and women's rights and freedoms, they realized this through their own life experiences, and in this context, the facts related to the feminist approach were transferred to art in their own psychic structures and unconsciously. In this context, the research aims to examine the works of two prominent female artists in Feminist Art, Louise Bourgeois and Tracey Emin, to examine their psychic structures with the psychoanalytic analysis method, to reveal the autobiographical facts and to determine the feminist phenomena in the artist's Psyche. In the study, it was determined that the two female artists included in the sample revealed the Feminist phenomena stemming from their experiences, as well as the situations that exist in the existential development of the individual in the pasicaanalytic context, and the Feminist phenomena from the unconscious phenomena.

Published: November 2022

Objective: The massive popularity of digital gaming in recent decades has led to an inevitable surge in the use of digital technologies. This has made the younger population more prone to gaming, and causing an exponential rise in excessive video gaming among both children and adolescents. This scoping review summarizes and determines the scope, or coverage, of the body of empirical literature on Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD); published from 2010 to 2021. It was conducted to identify and map the available empirical evidence on IGD pertaining to its: prevalence, determinants, comorbidities and health consequences. Material and Methods: Literature searches were made in databases; including, Google Scholar, National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and PubMed to identify relevant articles published from 2010 to 2021. This was performed using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and the meta-analyses technique (PRISMA) exclusion and inclusion criteria. Twenty-six empirical research studies are included in the present review. Results: There have been unexplored areas related to IGD since its introduction into the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Although its harmful impact on mental health and well-being remains untouched across the world, IGD is growing rapidly and calls for substantial worldwide consideration. Conclusion: Findings advance the understanding of IGD, identify gaps in research and propose future research directions. Research and innovations must focus on assessment, tools, prevention, intervention and treatment of IGD.
Clustering, Classification, and Association Rule Mining for Educational Datasets
Authors: Christopher U EBELOGU , Edward O AGU
Published: November 2022

Understanding students/pupils within the context of school is the focus of the expanding research topic known as educational data mining. Before the adoption of data mining tools in student analysis, it was challenging to identify students who were at risk of failure. However, using educational data mining tools has made it straightforward to examine student performance on previous exams. It helps teachers understand the kind of children they are working with. This knowledge can assist teachers to tailor their lecture notes to each student's needs and help difficult students focus more throughout the class. In this study, 1428 newly admitted student records from a tertiary institution in Nigeria were examined. Decision trees, association rules, and K-means clustering techniques were used to analyze the data. The results showed that arts courses were primarily responsible for lows cores, social science courses for average scores, and the high JAMB scores came from science courses. Additionally, students from the geopolitical zones of the South-East, South-South, and North-East performed better than those from the geopolitical zones of the North-West, North Central, and South-West. The students with the highest JAMB marks were those who offered Physics and had an English score of at least 70. Most males offered Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology while most females offered Economics, Government, CRS, and Literature in English. We highly recommend that Students who did not perform well should be given more attention and extra lessons/classes should be held for them to improve their grades in the various departments they were admitted.
Innovation of a Sliding Whiteboard for Teaching and Learning process
Authors: Kimwetich Daniel Kipkulei
Published: November 2022

The innovation was done at Kenya Medical Training College, Nyeri. The main objectives were to come up with a whiteboard with increased writing surface area to avoid frequent & disruptive rubbing of the written part of a whiteboard during a lecture session and to use a sliding whiteboard as a teaching aid in a classroom setup. The design innovation method was used. The idea was to stack two or three whiteboards and then slide the first board to reveal the second board underneath. Followed by sliding, the second board to reveal the third board underneath. A dummy was developed, followed by the development of the final product. A sliding whiteboard (i.e. Kimwetich sliding board) with increased writing/illustration surface area was developed in March 2022 at a cost of Ksh 35,000 (350 USD). After putting up the first whiteboard ever on campus, students and lecturers were very excited to use it. The lecturers reported that the writing surface area on the whiteboard has surprisingly increased and is very convenient to use a sliding whiteboard. The students said that teaching and learning were more exciting than before. The use of a sliding whiteboard (i.e. Kimwetich sliding board) can easily be replicated in other learning facilities and institutions. The same concept can be used in a blackboard, smart board, 3D screens, and computer PowerPoint slides. Since it offers an opportunity for stimulus variation, teaching and learning was made more enjoyable. Value for money was realized, in that, the normal whiteboard with only two (2) writing surfaces was replaced by the sliding whiteboard with seven (7) writing surfaces. The space for putting up a whiteboard in the classroom walls was reduced hence maximizing space. The whiteboard is simple to use and doesn’t require any training.
Transformation of Administrative Data into Statistical Reporting Through the Introduction of State Statistical Survey “Implementation of Administrative Proceedings”
Authors: Kharabara T. I.
Published: November 2022

The problem of formation of statistical reporting as administrative data by the judicial bodies of Ukraine is considered. The situation regarding the publication of judicial statistics by the statistical organization of the European Commission and statistical bodies of some foreign countries is analyzed. The necessity of forming the state statistical survey “Implementation of administrative proceedings” on the basis of judicial statistics data is substantiated.

It is noted that high-quality information of the State Statistical Survey (hereinafter – SSS) on administrative proceedings in Ukraine is necessary to make informed, sound management decisions to protect the rights, freedoms and interests of citizens and rights and interests of enterprises, institutions and organizations, the constitutional order Ukraine, the established law and order, strengthening the rule of law, prevention of violations by the subjects of power.

The experience of the Federal Statistical Office of the Federal Republic of Germany, the National Bureau of Statistics of the Republic of Moldova and statistical institutions of other countries has been studied. For Ukraine, which is trying to achieve the level of democratic, social, legal state, there is an urgent need to resolve a range of legal, political and socio-cultural issues related to creating favorable conditions for comprehensive protection of the rights and interests of individuals and legal entities which is the foundation of economic development of the country. An important role in ensuring such level is played by judicial statistics, which is formed, in particular, in the implementation of administrative proceedings. At the same time, the use of statistical research methods as a result of consideration of administrative cases by court helps to better understand the peculiarities of socio-economic development of our state, to assess the effectiveness of public authorities and courts.

It is concluded that the results of observations on administrative proceedings should be freely available on the official website of the State Statistics Service with reference to sources of such information, namely, according to the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine, local administrative courts, Courts of Appeal, Administrative Court of Cassation of the Supreme Court.
State Aid for Development of Manufacture of Agricultural Machinery: Economic and Statistical Aspect
Authors: Krekhivskyi O. V.
Published: November 2022

The world practice of state support of agricultural machinery is studied. Features of dualistic agro-industrial policy of China are identified. It is substantiated that the subsidy policy for the purchase of agricultural machinery, which has been implemented by the Chinese government since 2004, has also had an extensive impact on the promotion and development of agricultural mechanization, development of agricultural machinery and improvement of economic results,  scaling up of services for agricultural sector; activation of related industries: the development of companies that specialize in construction and road equipment, the production of engineering products for agricultural sector. The evolution of state support is shown: changes in the priorities of industry development and the number of subsidies for the purchase of equipment, the development of which is encouraged. It is established that the support of decision-making on the implementation of state support is provided by scientific institutions, relevant associations, information and analytical agencies. It is shown that the generated statistical databases allow to analyze the scale and structure of sales of machinery to farmers with state subsidies (by categories, manufacturers, regions), calculate China's agricultural machinery market sentiment index (AMI), among the components of which - Agricultural Machinery Subsidy Index.

It is stated that on the initiative of the National Committee for Industrial Development a mechanism of partial compensation of the cost of machinery and equipment for agro-industrial complex, which has a certain level of localization of production in Ukraine, was launched in Ukraine in 2017. Summing up the results of the implementation of this mechanism for the national economy are presented. The necessity of expanding state support is substantiated: introduction of incentives for technological innovations of enterprises and partial compensation of interest on loans for the purchase of Ukrainian made agricultural machinery. Following the example of China, it is proposed to improve the mechanism of partial compensation by adjusting the upper limit of aid intensity in accordance with the cost of machinery and equipment for farmers and its innovation. It is substantiated that the lack of multifaceted monitoring of the implementation of the partial compensation mechanism makes it impossible to assess its consequences for machine builders, farmers and the economy as a whole (primarily in terms of the effects obtained). The introduction of statistical and information-analytical support for the implementation of the state aid mechanism in Ukraine will facilitate both timely control and management decisions-making on future support by the state, and the strategic business planning of farmers and machine builders.

The ubiquity of multitasking has led researchers to investigate its potential costs for reading and learning (Clinton‐Lisell, 2021). While some studies have not shown detrimental effects of multitasking for reading comprehension (Bowman et al., 2010; Cho et al., 2015; Pashler et al., 2013), one particular study has found a benefit of multitasking (Tran et al., 2013). These results, nevertheless, do not converge with the findings of recent meta-analyses, which have suggested both a negative effect of multitasking for reading comprehension (Clinton‐Lisell, 2021), as well as the disruptive effects of listening to lyrical music while reading for comprehension (Vasilev et al., 2018). Previous research seems to converge with the theories of how working memory copes with the complexity of reading as a process, since several subprocesses must be orchestrated so that the ultimate goal of reading – the construction of a mental representation – is fully achieved (Tomitch, 2020). In addition to that, no previous study has investigated reading as a multilevel construct in which both literal and inferential comprehension (Alptekin & Erçetin, 2010; Kintsch, 1998) is assessed in a multitasking setting. With that in mind, we investigated whether working memory capacity, measured by the Self-Administrable Reading Span Test (Oliveira et al., 2021), predicts proficient bilinguals’ performance in literal and inferential comprehension, by means of comprehension questions (Pearson & Johnson, 1978) and reading times, under a multitasking setting in two conditions – listening to lyrical music (experimental) as opposed to listening to non-lyrical music (control). Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that working memory capacity significantly predicted inferential, but not literal comprehension nor reading times, and only when participants were listening to lyrical music. Results are discussed both in terms of the effects of multitasking on reading comprehension as well as the role of working memory in language comprehension.
„Abortion on Demand – No Forced Sterilization“. Intersektionale Perspektiven auf Bio-Macht in den 1970/80er Jahren
Authors: Klein Christa
Published: November 2022

Der Begriff Intersektionalität wurde 1989 von Kimberlé Crenshaw geprägt. Als solidarische Praxis und kritische Analyseperspektiven auf Bevölkerungspolitik lassen sich intersektionale Perspektiven aber bereits in den Neuen Frauenbwegungen finden. Der Artikel erläutert die Analysebegriffe „Intersektionalität“ und „Bio-Macht“ und umreißt mit dem Fokus auf Reproduktionspolitiken die Entwicklung intersektionaler Perspektiven auf Bio-Macht in den 1970/80er Jahren. Am Beispiel feministischer Bewegungen im deutschen und US-amerikanischen Kontext wird nachgezeichnet, wie Forderungen nach der Legalisierung von Abtreibung einerseits, der Abschaffung von Zwangssterilisationen andererseits im Protest gegen bevölkerungspolitische Interventionen zusammenkamen und auch die historische Aufarbeitung eugenischer Bio-Politiken inspirierten.

The current study was carried out to identify the relationship between depression and subjective well-being of prisoners in District Jail Gujrat, Pakistan. The study also focused on assessing the various levels of depression and subjective well-being by relating them with the demographic variables of the participants. To select the participants, simple random sampling technique was used in the current study, the scales used to assess the level of depression in the prisoners included the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) designed by Beck et al. (1996) and the General Health Questionnaire designed by Goldberg and Williams (1988). The adapted version in Urdu of both the questionnaires were distributed among the prisoners. The hypothesis of the study was that depression has a negative relationship with the subjective well-being of the male prisoners. Also, the results will highlight different levels of depression and subjective well-being when they are compared with the demographic variables of the participants. The results indicated that a negative relationship exists between depression and subjective well-being of the male prisoners.

The current study examines the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy in reducing math anxiety in adolescents. The study was conducted using an experimental method. The research sample consisted of 24 high math-anxious students based on the Abbreviated Math Anxiety Rating Scale (A-MARS) scores having their ages between 13-17 years. The participants were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups, 12 subjects in each group. 5 males and 7 females were in the experimental group while 6 males and 6 females were in the control group. Pre-testing was followed by the intervention given to the experimental group, 16 sessions of tailored Cognitive-behavioral Group Therapy, involving 90-minute sessions twice weekly. Both groups were tested again with A-MARS after the intervention terminated. Statistical analysis of the data was done using descriptive statistics, paired and independent sample t-tests. The data analysis revealed that the intervention has high statistical significance proving CBGT to be highly effective in reducing math anxiety and three subscales of A-MARS: math test anxiety, math course anxiety, and numerical anxiety. The research experiment is implicative for therapists, school psychologists, educators, and parents of math-anxious children.
Sequence evidence that the D614G clade of SARS-CoV-2 was already circulating in northern Italy in the fall of 2019

The D614G clade is characterized by TTTG at four nucleotide sites (sites 241, 3037, 14408 and 23403 following the reference genome NC_045512), in contrast to CCCA shared among early SARS-CoV-2 genomes sampled in China and those that can be traced to China. It was believed that the TTTG lineage descended from the early viral CCCA lineages. A set of SARS-CoV-2 sequences collected from Sept. 12 to Dec. 18, 2019, in Lombardy, Milan and Turin in Italy provided, for the first time, strong evidence that the D614G/TTTG lineage has already been circulating in Italy in 2019. I discussed extensively the controversies arising from this set of early SARS-CoV-2 sequences.
