Sea buckthorn is often perceived and used precisely as a fruit crop, but it also has decorative qualities. When choosing varieties for gardening, it is important to know the phenological dates of the onset of decorative phases, but literary sources often indicate only one phenophase - the period of fruit ripening. The purpose of this work is to analyze 18 varieties of sea buckthorn of the average ripening period according to the degree of originality of the onset of a number of phenophases. Female sea buckthorn plants are in the collection of the Main Botanical Garden. N.V. Tsitsina (Moscow, Russia). Annually from 2014 to 2019, 16 phenodates were noted (swelling and blooming of buds, appearance and blooming of leaves, complete leafing, yellowing of leaves, leaf fall, beginning of budding, mass budding, beginning of flowering, mass and end of flowering, fruit setting, single ripening, mass ripening , fruit fall). Originality coefficients were calculated by a statistical method for assessing the modality weight. It was found that among the varieties of the average ripening period, the Chuiskaya and Gus-Khrustalnaya varieties have a high degree of originality of the complex of phenological dates, and the overwhelming majority of varieties are the most typical in the sample.

WETMETH 1.0: a new wetland methane model for implementation in Earth system models
Authors: Nzotungicimpaye Claude-Michel , Zickfeld Kirsten , MacDougall Andrew H. , Melton Joe R. , Treat Claire C. , Eby Michael , Lesack Lance F. W.
Published: October 2021

Abstract. Wetlands are the single largest natural source of methane
(CH4), a powerful greenhouse gas affecting the global climate. In turn, wetland CH4 emissions are sensitive to changes in climate conditions such as temperature and precipitation shifts. However, biogeochemical processes regulating wetland CH4 emissions (namely microbial production and oxidation of CH4) are not routinely included in fully coupled Earth
system models that simulate feedbacks between the physical climate, the
carbon cycle, and other biogeochemical cycles. This paper introduces a
process-based wetland CH4 model (WETMETH) developed for implementation
in Earth system models and currently embedded in an Earth system model of
intermediate complexity. Here, we (i) describe the wetland CH4 model,
(ii) evaluate the model performance against available datasets and estimates from the literature, and (iii) analyze the model sensitivity to perturbations of
poorly constrained parameters. Historical simulations show that WETMETH is
capable of reproducing mean annual emissions consistent with present-day
estimates across spatial scales. For the 2008–2017 decade, the model
simulates global mean wetland emissions of 158.6 Tg CH4 yr−1, of which 33.1 Tg CH4 yr−1 is from wetlands north of 45∘ N.
WETMETH is highly sensitive to parameters for the microbial oxidation of
CH4, which is the least constrained process in the literature.
Tracing and visualisation of contributing water sources in the LISFLOOD-FP model of flood inundation
Authors: Wilson Matthew D. , Coulthard Thomas J.
Published: October 2021

Abstract. We describe the formulation of a simple method of water source tracing for computational models of flood inundation and demonstrate its implementation within CAESAR-Lisflood. Water source tracing can provide additional insight into flood dynamics by accounting for flow pathways. The method developed is independent of the hydraulic formulation used, allowing it to be implemented in other model codes without affecting flow routing. In addition, we developed a method which allows up to three water sources to be visualised in RGB colour-space, while continuing to allow depth to be resolved. We show the application of the methods developed for example applications of a major flood event, a shallow estuary, and Amazonian wetland inundation. A key advantage of the formulation developed is that the number of water sources which may be traced is limited only by computational considerations. In addition, the method is independent of the hydraulic formulation, meaning that it is relatively straightforward to add to existing finite volume codes including those based on or developed around the LISFLOOD-FP method.

Published: October 2021

The current study presents a success story where through a small network of citizen scientists original information regarding the occurrence of Aedes cretinus was received, suggesting the absence of invasive Aedes species on the island of Cyprus. Citizen science records show that Ae. cretinus most likely has an island wide spatial distribution while its seasonal activity is limited to the spring and summer months. Data collected by citizen scientists under ‘The Three Mosquiteers’ citizen science initiative, provided more records than any efforts from the authorities in the last 73 years. The future success and the longevity of this initiative will be strongly dependent on the in-depth engagement and collaboration between local experts in entomology and citizen scientists.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ELECTRICITY POWER AND UNEMPLOYMENT RATES IN NIGERIA
Authors: George E.O. , Oseni J.E.
Published: October 2021

The high level of unemployment and poor power supply to the industrial sector are the major problems facing the Nigerian economy. For the past two decades, successive governments in Nigeria have made futile attempts to address the issues of unemployment. Several scholarly studies have been conducted to establish relationships between unemployment and microeconomic variables without any serious attention on the relationship between unemployment and electricity power supply. The study addresses the question of the impact of electricity power on unemployment rates in Nigeria. This study using an ordinary least square regression model examined the influence of electricity power outputs, supply and consumption in addressing the high rate of unemployment in Nigeria. The study which covers the period of 1970 to 2005 discovers that power supply to the industrial sector was lower than the supply for residential consumption. The study also establishes that the major cause of unemployment in Nigeria can be traced to inadequate and unstable power supply to the industrial sector. The study advises the government and the policy makers to invest more in electricity power generation and ensures that the industrial sector is given a higher priority in the supply of electricity if the high unemployment rate is to be abated.

Published: October 2021

Managers seek to find the most desirable strategy to reach goals of their companies. One of the strategies which assist external growth of companies is merger and acquisition strategy. The goal of this research was to study the effect of acquisition on the intellectual capital and financial performance of (acquired) target companies. The statistical population included the companies admitted in Tehran Stock Exchange between 2004 and 2010, from among which the sample was selected. According to the accounting basis, the research data were calculated for two periods of before and after acquisition and the research hypotheses were tested using the paired samples T test. Test results of the target companies were compared with those of similar non-acquired companies as the control group. The research results indicated significant effect of acquisition on operating cash flow and return on assets and equity of the target companies. Moreover, it was found that intellectual capital increased after acquisition; however, there was no significant relationship with acquisition.

Authors: Njagi Lucy Karimi , Malel Jane
Published: October 2021

The study aimed to examine the relationship between time management strategies and job performance in organizations with a particular focus on parastatals. The general objective was to find out the effects of time management strategies on the performance of selected parastatals in Kenya. The design / methodology and approach were a complex research design where statistical models of regression and correlation were used. Stratified random sampling technique was used to get the population from which we would randomly select the respondents. To test the hypothesis, z-scores were used. Further correlation coefficient revealed that there exists a positive correlation of 0.674 between time management performances. Correlation also showed that there is low positive relationship of 0.337 between the understanding of time bound performance that is measurable. The researchers conclude that time management and work performance are directly related and there is need. One recommendation that we are making is that parastatals heads should sensitize management by objectives which are measurable within a specific time frame as explained by Drucker (2000.) this is based on the fact that the research showed that 52% of the respondents do not understand results based management style driven by objectives.

POST-BANK CONSOLIDATION: A debacle in the survival of SMEs in Nigeria “An Empirical Study”
Authors: Ishmael Omah , Stella .T Durowoju , Abayomi O Adeoye , Folarin Elegunde Ayobami
Published: October 2021

The contention of this paper is to examine the impact of post-bank consolidation on the performance of Small and Medium Scale enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria, with special reference to Lagos State. To examine the meritorious advantages of bank consolidation (mergers and acquisitions) in the shareholders wealth creation. To assess the trends, if any, of post-bank consolidation on the economic development of Nigeria and to highlight the ancillary benefits that may have accrued to the economy and SMEs as a result of post bank consolidation. The data procurement was based on survey of Neolithic literatures as well as primary sources, through dissemination of questionnaires based on the concept of the subject matter. A sample size of 50 was drawn from the supra-population of the study within Ikeja Local Government Area in Lagos State, using random sampling techniques. The mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation were also applied in analysis of data collected. On-line discussions with the respondents was equally adopted which aimed at enlarging the scope of coverage in data collection. The analysis of the study reveals that SMEs in Nigeria, with reference to Lagos State metropolis, do not have better access to finance through banks, due to neo-reorganization in banks as a result of post bank consolidation. It was revealed that SMEs do not have absolute rapport with the financial institutions due to their financial background in Nigeria. They are financially handicapped which limits their size and the capacity to embark on bank loans with high interest rate. The researchers, therefore, are of the opinion that the government should enable the SMEs by providing enabling ground to a better access with financial institutions as regards bank loan at an affordable securities. The paper highlights the supra-environment in which the SMEs operate in Nigeria and their attendant limitations which are assumed do not harness the future survival of the SMEs in the long run.

Published: October 2021

This paper reviews the use of the traditional ARDL and the ARDL approach to cointegration for the analysis of short-run dynamic and long run relationship when series are difference stationary (series can be integrated of different orders). The two models were used to estimate the short-run dynamics and the long run relationships between selected Nigeria’s macroeconomic series. The results compares favorably with the theory that the ARDL is equivalent to the short-run dynamics of the error correction model (the resultant model from the ARDL approach to cointegration).
MEASUREMENT AND DISCLOSURE OF INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL IN A DEVELOPING COUNTRY: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Bhasin Madan Lal
Published: October 2021

In today’s knowledge-based economy, measurement, management and disclosure of intellectual capital (IC) are very crucial for enhancing business performance and economic growth, both in manufacturing as well as service organizations. This study attempts to provide an insight into the style of IC disclosures and measurements done by the Indian companies. First, a longitudinal study was carried out to analyze how three Indian firms--Reliance Industries Limited, Balrampur Chini Mills and Shree Cement Limited--disclose their IC reports. Second, in order to survey the recent IC measurement scenario, we conducted another study of 8 Indian pharmaceutical companies in which the market value added (MVA) approach is applied for measuring IC on their 2004-05 to 2008-09 annual reports. Also, it seeks to measure the effectiveness of IC as compared to tangible assets (TA) for the selected companies. On an average, the selected pharmaceutical companies reported a positive value of IC; significant correlation has been noticed between TA and net operating profits. However, no significant difference was found between percentage of IC to MV and percentage of TA to MV. The results of longitudinal study confirmed that IC disclosure in these companies is almost negligible and its disclosure had not received any preference from the mentors of these corporations. IC reports may initially be used for ‘internal’ management purposes; but an ‘external’ stakeholder-focus of IC report should be the ultimate goal. Unfortunately, the omission of IC information may adversely influence the quality of decisions made by shareholders, or lead to material misstatements.

The article presents the results of monitoring the waters of the Shagan river on the change in the specific activity of tritium for 2016–2020. The Shagan river is the longest surface watercourse on the territory of the Semipalatinsk Test Site, flowing along the eastern part of the Balapan site, where, together with the tributary, the Ashisu, flows into the “Atomic Lake”. Further, at a distance of 110 km downstream, the river forms a left-bank tributary of the Irtysh river. Previous studies have revealed and repeatedly confirmed the fact of radioactive contamination of the surface and ground waters of the Shagan river technogenic radionuclide 3H. It was revealed that the main source of pollution is groundwater entering the surface waters of the river. In this regard, in order to ensure long-term monitoring of 3H pollution of river waters, seasonal monitoring was carried out in three sections of the river located along its channel, starting from the outlet from the “Atomic Lake” heap and further downstream to the confluence with the Irtysh river.

As a result of the observations, it was found that the specific activity of 3H in surface and ground waters, depending on the observation time, varies in a wide range of values. So, in the area of maximum pollution, the content of 3H changes from the minimum – 8 Bq/kg in the spring, to the maximum 370 000 Bq/kg in the summer-autumn period. At the exit points of the Shagan river outside the landfill, the concentration of 3H varies from 90 Bq/kg to 12 400 Bq/kg. In the area of the confluence of the Shagan river in Irtysh river content of 3H does not exceed 110 Bq/kg.

The recent explosion of data has triggered the need of data reduction for completing the effective data mining task in the process of knowledge discovery in databases (KDD). The process of instance selection (IS) plays a significant role for data reduction by eliminating the redundant, noisy, unreliable and irrelevant instances, which, in-turn reduces the computational resources, and helps to increase the capabilities and generalization abilities of the learning models. . This manuscript expounds the concept and functionalities of seven different instance selection techniques (i.e., ENN, AllKNN, MENN, ENNTh, Mul- tiEdit, NCNEdit, and RNG), and also evaluates their effectiveness by using single layer feed-forward neural network (SLFN), which is trained with extreme learning machine (ELM). Unlike traditional neural network, ELM randomly chooses the weights and biases of hidden layer nodes and analytically determines the weights of output layer node. The generalization ability of ELM is analyzed by using both original and reduced datasets. Experiment results depict that ELM provides better generalization with these IS methods.

Aim The aim of the study is to assess fear with the ‘Draw a Person’ test in sparing enzyme-based excavation with Brix 3000 and conventional excavation when treating carious lesions in primary teeth. Materials and Methods The study involves 72 children aged 4-6. The enzyme-based excavation was used at 42 of the children and for the remaining 30 – conventional excavation with a bur. Each child has to complete the ‘Draw a Person’ Test: at home, before and after dental treatment in the dental office. The height of each figure is measured in centimeters using a ruler. Results and Conclusions Immediately prior to the dental treatment, a double reduction in the size of the figure in both groups could be observed, as compared to the figure drawn at home, which refers to an increase in the fear level. After the end of the treatment, in both groups, an increase could be observed as to the height of the figure drawn, and there is the impression that the height of the figures, drawn by children, where the carious lesions were excavated with Brix 3000 are closer to the figures drawn at home, compared to children treated using the conventional method.

The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic gave rise to a massive global health concern that has placed an unprecedented strain on healthcare systems, education and economy. The recent vaccine roll-out gave humanity a glimpse of hope. However, more than 50% of the vaccine supply has been acquired by high-income countries, forcing low- and middle-income countries to prioritize who should be vaccinated. In Mexico, the first phase of the vaccination program prioritized healthcare personnel working in front-line COVID-19 public institutions. The second phase was planned for the remaining healthcare workers attending at both COVID and non-COVID areas. The government, however, aiming to reopen schools, decided to vaccinate teachers instead. This raised several concerns, since Mexico tops the ranking of deaths among healthcare workers due to COVID-19 worldwide. Furthermore, the possible framing of vaccines as a political tool has caused commotion among the Mexican people and media, especially since 2021 is the Midterm Election year in Mexico, and the Teachers’ Union has historically played an essential role in this matter. Therefore, it is relevant to share the vaccination experience in resource-constrained settings to provide help and advice to reach an optimal strategy and deflate this pandemic.
Is there a Trade-Off between Financial Rewards and Other Job Benefits? Different Career Pathways for two Groups of Management Students.
Authors: Opstad Leiv
Published: October 2021

The unemployment rate in Norway is low. More than 30 per cent work in the public sector and there is a shortage of labour, especially in the health and education sectors. This article seeks to find out more about why some choose to study within health and education and pursue a career there while others put finances or business education as their priority. Which factors influence this choice? Students’ responses to questionnaires reveal that there are some significant differences. The results indicate a trade-off between high salaries and other job benefits. Compared to business and economics students, financial rewards count for less for those selecting public sector work. They accept lower wages in compensation for job security and personal contentment. Other factors that have implications for educational choices are personal characteristics (Big Five) and interests. Furthermore, there is a substantial gap between females selecting business and financial education and females who prefer a personal-oriented job in the public sector. The methods used in this paper are comparison of means (t-test) and standard linear regression.

We investigate the approximate solution of this equation and its system via proposed methods. Thevalidity and efficiency of these methods are demonstrated through various numerical examples that illustratethe efficiency, accuracy, and simplicity of the proposed methods. Moreover, the convergence and uniquenessof the solution of the suggested methods are confirmed and compared with the exact solutions.

Aim - To evaluate the cardiopulmonary function in children returning to play sports after mild or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. - Methods - This is a consecutive case series conducted at the Institute for Maternal and Child Health, Trieste, Italy. Paediatric patients who accessed the Institute for cardiologic and pneumological evaluation before the return to play competitive sports were recruited. According to the Italian Sports Medical Federation recommendations, echocardiogram, electrocardiogram, treadmill ECG test and pulmonary function tests were performed. - Results - 240 patients (aged 8-17 years old) were recruited. Among these, 233 children were considered for the final analysis. Out of 233, 147 (63.1%) had a mild symptomatic form of SARS-CoV-2 infection, while 86 (36.9%) were asymptomatic. The main referred symptoms were fever (n = 68, 46.3%), headache (n = 42, 28.6%), anosmia (n = 40, 27.2%), rhinitis (n = 34, 23.1%), ageusia (n = 32, 21.8%), cough (n = 22, 15%), asthenia (n = 21, 14.3%), arthralgia-myalgia (n = 20, 13.6%), sore throat (n = 14, 9.5%) and gastrointestinal symptoms (n = 9, 6.1%). No child presented evidence of cardiopulmonary function impairment after an average time of 76.1 days (SD 39.2) from SARS-CoV-2 swab positivity and a median of 68 days (IQ1 49, IQ3 98). - Conclusion - This study suggests that the diagnostic yield of cardiopulmonary tests before returning to play sports may be very low in the absence of specific symptoms.
