Le côté Šklovskij des Essais de Montaigne : l’estrangement des langues et des disciplines
Authors: Poulin Isabelle
Published: October 2020

Le croisement des disciplines auquel se livre Carlo Ginzburg dans son article « L’estrangement. Préhistoire d’un procédé littéraire », associé au croisement des langues qu’impose la lecture en traduction française d’un historien italien confronté aux formalistes russes, invite à s’interroger sur la production de connaissance propre à une herméneutique de la défamiliarisation. Elle atteint ici tous les rouages de la pensée : la langue, l’imagination, les outils conceptuels. Paradoxalement peut-être, c’est le retour à Montaigne, favorisé par la voix traductrice (le choix du terme français estrangement pour rendre straniamento ou ostranenie), qui permet de faire l’hypothèse d’un savoir propre à l’écrivain auquel l’historien emprunte, certes, la micro-échelle de son champ de recherche, sans suivre toutefois les mêmes traces.
Nos mots et les leurs. Une réflexion sur le métier de l’historien, aujourd’hui
Authors: Ginzburg Carlo
Published: October 2020

L’une des questions essentielles qui se pose aujourd’hui dans le travail de l’historien est le choix de catégories appropriées à redonner la parole aux acteurs du passé. À la différence des anthropologues, habitués à la distance, à la fois linguistique et culturelle, qui les sépare de leurs objets d’étude, les historiens en faisant fond sur la transparence des acteurs, sont enclins à leur attribuer leur langage et leurs catégories. Cet article s’inscrit dans le débat actuel sur le rôle de l’anachronisme dans la recherche historique ; à l’aide d’outils élaborés dans les années 1960 par le linguiste américain Kenneth L. Pike, il vise à accentuer la distinction entre deux niveaux d’analyse de la réalité, celui de l’observateur et celui de l’acteur, baptisés respectivement niveau étique (de phonétique) et niveau émique (de phonémique). Le but de cette opération de mise à distance entre nos mots et les leurs est la possibilité de récupérer des fragments « émiques » à même de dialoguer avec nos catégories « étiques » et, en fin des comptes, de les reformuler.
Tōkyō Underground – Le topos des avant-gardes japonaises au tournant des années 1960
Authors: Osawa Kei
Published: October 2020

Entre 1966 et 1970, un nouveau topos s’installe dans le milieu des avant-gardes artistiques japonaises d’après-guerre : l’underground. D’importation américaine, cette sous-culture imprègne le cinéma puis la musique, le théâtre, les arts (performance, happening, event, action, intermedia), la danse butō, le graphisme et l’édition. Ce mouvement culturel est commenté, débattu et théorisé en temps réel, jusqu’à son délitement accéléré par la répression politique des mouvements contestataires qu’il a stimulés. L’underground crée ou transforme des lieux physiques (théâtres, cinémas, cafés) dans le quartier de Shinjuku à Tōkyō, s’incarne dans des figures tutélaires, et influence de manière plus diffuse toute une génération qui s’en réclame dans son mode de vie. Parce que l’underground a forgé un nouveau topos artistique, il a laissé une trace importante dans l’histoire culturelle et artistique du Japon d’après-guerre, encore perceptible aujourd’hui. Le présent article constitue la première tentative pour analyser, par une chronologie et une cartographie précises, ce phénomène aussi marquant que diffus.
Wintering range of western yellow wagtail Motacilla flava in Africa and Europe in a historical perspective
Authors: Ferlini Flavio
Published: October 2020

Over the past few centuries, some subspecies of the western yellow wagtail Motacilla flava have shown changes in their reproductive ranges. The aim of this research is to verify if changes have occurred also in the wintering range of the species in Africa and Europe from 1848 to 2017. The data, collected through the consultation of over 840 bibliographic sources, 184 travel reports, 38 databases (including 25 relating to museum collections) and some website, shows an expansion of the wintering range to the north. The analysis is also extended to the single subspecies (flava, iberiae, cinereocapilla, flavissima, thunbergi, pygmaea, feldegg, beema, lutea, leucocephala). The factors that can affect the conservation of the species during wintering are examined and the oversummering range of Motacilla flava in sub-Saharan Africa is also discussed.
A road less travelled: Undergraduate midwifery students’ experiences of a decentralised clinical training platform
Authors: Baloyi Olivia B. , Mchunu Gugu G. , Williams Charlene , Jarvis Mary-Ann
Published: October 2020

Background: In South Africa, the critical skill base shortage of healthcare workers, the underperforming global health indicators and the planned roll out of the National Health Insurance have burdened South African higher education authorities to rapidly expand nursing student enrolments. The expansion in student numbers has placed increased demands on overstretched educational institutions, and students are confronted with challenges of congestion in classrooms and clinical facilities, while lecturers encounter difficulties in the process of clinical allocation. A solution is to utilise decentralised clinical training platforms (DCTPs) and allocate students in rural hospitals.Aim: To explore and describe undergraduate midwifery students’ reflections of their DCTP experiences, in order to inform future practice of decentralisation in student training.Setting: The study was conducted in the nursing discipline of an urban-based university in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, involving undergraduate midwifery students. The university had commenced a programme of allocating students to decentralised clinical sites.Method: Elo and Kyngäs’ content analysis was used to analyse the experiences of DCTP by undergraduate midwifery students (n = 14) as expressed in a focus group (n = 11) and three individual interviews (n = 3).Results: The following four categories emerged: Recognition as a team member, engaging support, win–win platform and juxtaposed challenges.Conclusion: In the presence of support and teamwork, rural settings can develop undergraduate student midwives, not only in the areas of midwifery competency but also in their personal capacity, and strengthen the responsiveness, preparedness and relevance of midwifery graduates.

Authors: Jain Vaibhav Kumar , Agarwal Rachna , Pal Shabari , Kaushik Jaya , Sharma Kumudini , Kanaujia Vikas
Published: October 2020

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the corneal biomechanical properties in patients post kidney transplant and to compare them with healthy age-matched control.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

In this cross-sectional study, 68 patients with kidney transplant (study group) and 68 healthy individuals (control group) were analyzed with ocular response analyzer measurements. Only the right eye of each participant was assessed for corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), corneal-compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc), and Goldmann-correlated intraocular pressure (IOPg).

RESULTS:

The mean CH in the study group was 9.70 ± 1.62 mmHg which was significantly lower than the control group with the mean CH of 10.60 ± 1.49 mmHg (P = 0.001). The mean IOPcc was 18.17 ± 4.00 mmHg and 16.00 ± 3.94 mmHg in the study and control groups, respectively (P = 0.002). CRF and IOPg were not significantly different between groups.

CONCLUSION:

CH and IOPccare altered in kidney transplant patients.

Authors: Cheng Yu-Chun , Sun Ming-Hui , Wu Wei-Chi , Su Wei-Wen
Published: October 2020

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the rate of progression of Humphrey visual field before and after the cataract surgery in patients with angle-closure glaucoma.

MATERIAL AND METHODS:

Patients with angle-closure glaucoma who underwent regular visual field (VF) examination and received cataract surgery during the follow-up periods were retrospectively reviewed. The visual field rate of progression, visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP), and number of glaucoma medication before and after cataract surgery were compared.

RESULTS:

A total of 26 eyes were included. The mean follow-up duration before and after the cataract surgery were 5.14 ± 3.31 years and 5.97 ± 2.35 years. After cataract surgery, the IOP and VA improved significantly. The visual field rate of progression significantly slowed down after cataract surgery from − 1.39 ± 1.31 dB/year preoperatively to − 0.34 ± 0.64 dB/year postoperatively (P = 0.003).

CONCLUSION:

The ACG eyes had rapid VF decline before cataract extraction, which was slowed down significantly after cataract removal.
Bilateral corneal edema in an alcoholic male
Authors: Lee Peng-Yu , Chou Wei-Yi , Hsu Chih-Chien , Lin Pei-Yu , Chen Ko-Hua
Published: October 2020

Pseudophakic bullous keratopathy and Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy are the two most common causes of corneal edema after cataract surgery. We report a 61-year-old alcoholic male with bilateral corneal edema that improved after his alcohol abstinence. He had uneventful bilateral cataract surgery 3 years ago and blurred vision in both eyes developed for weeks. As he had no history of endothelial dystrophy, the treatment for viral endotheliitis was used initially yet in vain. We asked him to stop alcohol and adjusted his psychiatric drugs, but he lied about stopping drinking. The corneal edema progressed, and finally, he underwent penetrating keratoplasty in his left eye 1 year later. During hospitalization for surgery, alcohol withdrawal syndrome was noted because he could not drink alcohol in our hospital. After he quit drinking for months, corneal edema in the right eye disappeared. Our case highlights that alcoholism can result in corneal edema, and stopping drinking is necessary in these patients.

Published: October 2020

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are serious public health concern. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are steadily increasing but the potential reservoir and risk in the environment are poorly investigated. A total of 284 environmental swabs were collected from 2 faculties of the University and screened for the presence of S. aureus by standard biochemical assays, 16S rRNA and S. aureus nuc gene amplification for the molecular identification of the isolates. Antibiotic susceptibility test was done by disc diffusion method while the detection of resistance and virulence genes were investigated by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Of the total sample collected, 190 (47.50%) S. aureus were recovered of which > 80% were resistant to more than 3 antibiotics. Considerable resistance profile was observed among the isolates and there were positive amplifications for aph (3’)-IIIa and aac (6’)-Ie-aph (2’), ermB tetL and tetK genes. There was no amplification for the investigated virulence genes among the isolates. High presence of multiply resistant S. aureus from environmental surfaces suggests the campus environment is a potential reservoir of S. aureus infection

Relationship between sectoral exports and economic growth - A vector error correction modeling for Vietnamese fishery sector 1997 – 2008
Authors: Duc Nguyen Minh , Tram Nguyen Anh
Published: October 2020

Numerous literatures have documented the relationship between exports and economic growth of a nation but not so many on the one between exports of an economic sector and national growth. This paper examines the latter relationship with evidence from fishery exports of Vietnam during 1997 to 2008. The contribution of fishery sector in Vietnamese Gross Domestic Products (GDP) may be mathematically calculated with statistical figures. However, the effects of fishery exports on the economic growth are yet to be thoroughly studied in an econometric approach. An econometric approach with stationary and co-integration tests and vector error correction models used in this study allows forecasting a persistence of the effects of fishery exports on Vietnamese GDP despite of different seasonal business. For the long run estimation, a double increase in national fishery exports revenue would raise the GDP by 7%. This has a great economic meaning in developing process of Vietnamese economy. In reverse direction, Vietnamese fishery exports would increase by 5.2% with a 10% increase in its GDP. Confirming the role of fishery exports in national economic growth, it is necessary for the sector to improve its competitive capacity.
An explanation from customers’ perspectives for difficulties in developing nursing-home service in Vietnam – A study in Ho Chi Minh City
Authors: Xuan Le Thi Thanh , Linh Nguyen Phuong Thuy
Published: October 2020

Even though the demand for a nursing home is increasing, it is not easily-accepted in Vietnam because of cultural traditions which nomally link to morality, affection, relational cohesion, responsibility, relatives’ and friends’ opinions, etc. According to a study conducted by the Health Strategy and Policy Institute in 2012, Vietnamese people think that no one takes care of their parents better than children. That might be the reason why nursing home services have not developed well in Vietnam. This study aims to (1) explore attributes of nursing home preventing Vietnamese customers from using this service, and (2) explore the connections between these attributes and values of individuals through consequences from these attributes. The mean-end-chain theory with a soft-laddering interview is the method employed to conduct the study. Participants are persons who are responsible for making decisions related to nursing home matters, including elder people and ones having elder people in their families and being responsible to send their parents/grandparents to the nursing homes. The research findings show that there are 15 attributes of nursing home service, which drive to 4 values through 9 consequences, preventing Vietnamese customers from using this service. The result from the HVM states that there are three significant A-C-V linkages to explain what attributes and how they influence customers (perceived) values. The study also proposes some suggestions to promote nursing home service and encourage Vietnamese customers to accept this kind of service.
Factors affecting paddy farmers to procure farm inputs in debt
Authors: Phuong Phan Ba Ngoc , Ha Nguyen Minh
Published: October 2020

The aim of this study deals with reasons that almost paddy farmers in Mekong River Delta have to procure farm inputs in debt. With 216 households interviewed by questionnaires in An Giang province and using regression model, the study has found that the lack of capital for rice production and the cost of farm inputs are key elements to impact positively on paddy farmers who procure inputs in debt. Furthermore, householder’s paddy growing experience, rice selling price, residential area, and value of the property affect negatively inputs procurement in debt of rice farmers. In addition, household size, farm size, and interest of purchase of inputs in debt influence positively on rice farmers when they purchase inputs on credit.
Identifyng Vietnam’s income inequality forms at the provincial level during the 2002-2010 period
Authors: Phuc Nguyen Van , Linh Le Ho Phong
Published: October 2020

By identifying the different shapes that illustrate an increase or decrease in inequality at the provincial level, this paper allows to distinguish a kind of “temporarily and relatively acceptable” inequalities from an “on the alert” one, and thus provides a more detailed structure for a more complete understanding of the phenomenon. The results at the provincial level in Vietnam indicate that income gap between the richest 20% and the poorest 20% has widened for nine years, from 2002 to 2010, in most provinces (60 to 63). Inequality has reduced in only three provinces. At a more detailed level, it is alarming to note that a large majority of the above unequal provinces (55 to 60) belonged to the “on the alert” shapes A and E. Only five provinces have the “temporarily and relatively acceptable” shapes B and D. The shapes A, E, reflect the fact that the poor are becoming poorer than the average living standard.
Interest rate pass-through estimates from error correction models ECM
Authors: Thao Le Phan Thi Dieu , Trang Nguyen Thi Thu
Published: October 2020

This paper examines the degree of pass-through and adjustment speed of retail interest rates in response to changes in monetary policy rates in commercial banks of Viet Nam during the period 07/2004 to 06/2014. The results show that the degree of pass-through of retail interest rates is incomplete but high (0.7-0.93). The adjustment speed of money market rates & retail interest rates is relatively slow. It takes from 3 to 6 months for money market rates & retail interest rates to be adjusted to long-term equilibrium, except 1 month VNIBOR. 1 month VNIBOR is sensitive to changes of discount rate & refinancing rate in short-term, contrary to 3 month VNIBOR . The degree of pass-through from market rates to retail interest rates is fairly high in the long-term but low in the short-term. The degree of pass-through is different between various retail interest rates. Specifically, the degree of pass-through of deposit rates is higher than that of lending rates both in the short-term & long-term.

Authors: Hoa Trinh Kim , Ngoc Luu Thi Bich
Published: October 2020

This study was aimed at investigating three factors (service quality, brand image and price perception) and assessed the degree of the impact of each factor on customer satisfaction, especially the relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty in Vietnamese mobile telecom sector where there have been the existence of the fierce competition, mature market and internationally integrated economy, ultimately struggling for market share and survival. The results indicated that each factor (service quality, brand image, price perception) has a positive impact on customer satisfaction at the different level as well as a significantly positive relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty in mobile telecommunication industry in Vietnam. The results of this study are consistent with the findings and evidence in the extant literature. The study provides the important feedback from customers to mobile telecom suppliers. Research findings are expected to be marketing insights for Vietnamese mobile telecom managers so that they can develop the sound marketing strategies in today’s competitive and costly market.
Effects of experience years, gender of auditors and audit firm size on firm’ discretionary accrual management: Evidence from Vietnam
Authors: Kieu Nguyen Minh , Nam Nguyen Kim , Nga Nguyen Thi Hang , Diep Nguyen Thi Ngoc
Published: October 2020

The objective of this study is to examine the effects of audit firm size and auditor characteristics on firms’discretionary accruals management of companies listed on Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE) and Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX). The results show that the gender of auditors affect discretionary accruals (DA). Female auditors approve DA at a lower value than male auditors. Number of experience years of auditors also affects restriction of DA. When the number of experience years of auditors increases, the magnitude of DA decreases, which means the quality of information on financial statements (FS) is higher. This study also reveals that the magnitude of DA is significantly lower amongst companies engaging a Big-4 specialist audit firm relative to companies using the audit services of a Non‐Big-4 specialist.
Attitudes and young consumers’ organic food purchasing intentions
Authors: Nam Nguyen Kim , Nga Nguyen Thi Hang
Published: October 2020

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of attitudes on young consumers’ organic food purchasing intentions. The attitude factor in this regard is attitudes towards environment in general and towards organic food consumption behaviors in particular. The results of structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis showed that environmental attitude and environmental concern have a direct impact on organic food purchasing intentions and an indirect impact through attitudes towards organic food. In addition, perceived effectiveness of environmental behavior is also an explanatory factor of consumption intentions of organic food by young consumers. The findings suggest that managers and administrators should concentrate not only on consumers’ attitudes toward organic food but also on environmental attitudes, environmental concern, perceived effectiveness of environmental behavior in order to promote organic food consumption by young consumers.

Se estudiaron los efectos de la radiación gamma en la germinación de la variedad del ñame (D. alata) Florido cultivado en Puerto Rico y en los cambios químicos que tienen lugar en el tubérculo. La radiación con dosis de 7.5 Krad no afectó aprobablemente su composición y prolongó por 4 meses más el período de inactividad del ñame. Se sugiere una dosis de 7.5 Krad como la óptima para inhibir la germinación de los tubérculos del ñame de esta variedad. Esto hace posible que haya disponible ñame de buena calidad fuera de temporada. Las pérdidas en peso fueron relativamente bajas y el sabor del tubérculo muy aceptable.

Effect of Leaf Shading on Flowering Processes of Sugarcane
Authors: Chu Teh-ling , Serapión J. L.
Published: October 2020

The effect of leaf shading on the regulation of sugarcane flowering processes by young expanding leaves was investigated. A severe flowering repression produced by shading the leaves with aluminum foil, for one week at the onset of expansion, suggests that the leaf is highly capable of perceiving the critical photoinductive light and of producing a flowering stimulus during its emergence from a tightly rolled spindle. Both floral induction and time of tassel emergence were significantly affected. A persistently significant suppression of floral induction as a result of leaf shading in stools having variable proportions of treated and untreated stalks demonstrated that individual stalks proceed more or less independently with their flowering processes within a stool complex. No evidence was found of interstalk transport of a flowering stimulus. It is suggested that the effectiveness of leaf shading within treated stalks is very possibly a translocation phenomenon.

Desde 1940 se ha mantenido en la Estación Experimental Agrícola una colección de batatas de pulpa anaranjada, que en Puerto Rico se designan como batatas mameyas. Dicha colección se aumentó a través de los años con nuevas cultivares por medio de introducciones, híbridos y selecciones locales. Estos cultivares se incluyeron en pruebas comparativas en las subestaciones de Isabela y Fortuna. En Isabela, el suelo es del tipo Coto arcilloso (Oxisol) y en Fortuna es un San Antón limoarcilloso (Mollisol). Se encontró que los cultivares Gem y R 59-36 producen mejor en Isabela que en Fortuna. El cultivar L 963-3 produce bien en ambas localidades, mientras que Cobre produce generalmente mejor en Isabela. Gem alcanzó un rendimiento tan alto como de 45.4 Tm./Ha. en 1971-72 en Fortuna y tan bajo como de 21.5 Tm./Ha. en 1967-68 en Fortuna. Gem, sembrada en Isabela produjo en 1966-67, 84.4 Tm./Ha.; en 1967-68, 84.1; en 1970-71, 36.6; en 1971-72, 36.2 y en 1972-78, 37.3, lo que demuestra el consistentemente alto rendimiento de dicho cultivar. El rendimiento de Cobre fluctuó entre 32.7 Tm./Ha. en 1971-72 en Fortuna y 8.6 también en Fortuna en 1967-68. L 963-3 alcanzó un rendimiento de 37.9 Tm./Ha. en 1971-72 en Isabela y el más bajo fue de 13.7 en 1966-67 en la misma localidad. R 59-36 alcanzó su máximo rendimiento de 36.2 Tm./Ha. en 1971-72 en Isabela y el más bajo de 8.0 en 1966-67 en Fortuna. El cultivar UPR #3 bajó drásticamente en cantidad y calidad de raíces producidas a través de los años, lo que motivó que se le descartara. Los cultivares Gem, Cobre y R 59-36 producen una gran cantidad de raíces de tamaño y forma adecuadas para el enlatado. En evaluaciones de un panel de catado se encontró que los tres cultivares pelan bien en una solución de 10 por 100 de soda a 214-216° F, que cuecen muy bien en agua y sal y que los tres cultivares son de apariencia aceptable. La calidad del producto enlatado fue aceptable. Los cultivares L 963-3 y Gem producen gran cantidad de raíces para el mercado fresco. El contenido de caroteno de Gem alcanzó un valor de 13.20 mg/100 g.

Los alticidos de la sub-tribu Oedionychina se dividen en dos categorías filogenéticas según la estructura de su membrana nuclear doble y del material epinuclear sintetizado en la etapa difusa del espermatocito I. Omophoita muestra una estructura relativamente simple, rodeada por una zona del material epinuclear, mientras que Oedionychus y los géneros aliados muestran una membrana doble provista de complejos de cedazo nucleares (NSC), y de una zona discontinua del material epinuclear. Este último no participa en la disintegración de la membrana doble, la cual es aplastada contra la pared de la célula, pero no desaparece antes de la congresión de los cromosomas. Los cedazos nucleares vacios y abandonados forman un enjambre alrededor del huso de M I, y sus restos se ven a veces todavía en el uso de M II. El núcleo intercinético no se forma. La estructura única de la membrana doble de Oedionychus sugiere que este género tiene un status evolucionario más avanzado que Omophoita, un género que aún tiene afinidades cromosómicas con la subtribu vecina de Disonychina.

Published: October 2020

La aplicación de los métodos de diseño puede posibilitar la escalabilidad de la oferta de los productos artesanales, lo que resulta en la generación de valor y la apertura de nuevos mercados. En caso contrario, la reducción de costos en la búsqueda de la estandarización y la falta de nueva oferta de productos artesanales puede llevar a la desaparición de las técnicas y del conocimiento artesanal. El objetivo de este estudio es la definición de un método de vinculación entre un proceso de diseño y la producción artesanal mediante talleres colaborativos enfocados en la generación de cultura material significativa. Se presenta una propuesta para el desarrollo de los productos neo-artesanales, resultado de una serie de talleres colaborativos entre artesanos y diseñadores mexicanos. La colaboración ocurrió en el marco del Programa para el Desarrollo de la Productividad y Competitividad del Sector Artesanal del Estado de Querétaro en el año 2017 y evidencia el potencial que ofrece la inclusión de herramientas de diseño dentro del praxis artesanal.
Aluviální zlato v oblasti Dlouhá Ves - Řepová (zábřežské krystalinikum)
Authors: Dolníček Zdeněk , Nepejchal Miroslav , Ulmanová Jana
Published: October 2020

A detailed panning prospection of the Řepovský potok, Míroveček and Ospitský potok creeks (northern part of the Zábřeh Upland) proved that trace amount of alluvial gold occurs in the whole studied area. The collected gold sheets are 0.2 to 3 mm in size and mostly have shapes only weakly modified by transport in the stream. Although the chemical composition varies widely between Au-rich silver and pure gold (28.1 - 99.8 at. % Au), individual sheets are typically (few exceptions exist) compositionally homogeneous. Less than half of them has the narrow high-fineness rim, which was formed by leaching of silver in supergene conditions. In lower reach of the Řepovský potok creek there were also found gold sheets containing elevated mercury (0.1 - 5.1 at. %), which most probably originated from neighbouring vein-type Ag-Zn-Pb deposit Řepová. In contrast, the source of Hg-free gold sheets was not unambiguously established. The first possibility includes small vein-type mineralizations similar to the Řepová ore deposit and containing trace amount of gold (an occurrence of this type was newly recognized in the vicinity of Dlouhá Ves village). Second, one cannot exclude the trace occurrence of gold sheets directly in underlying metasiltstones or acid metavolcanic rocks of the Zábřeh Crystalline Complex [with respect to repeatedly observed intergrowths of gold with polymineral aggregates of phyllosilicates (muscovite, chlorite, biotite, clay minerals), feldspars (K-feldspar, albite, K-Na feldspar) and minor quartz in the alluvial gold sheets]. The particles of metallic Cu-Zn-Sn alloys with admixture of Ni, Sb and In, panned from the Řepovský potok creek, could contain metals originated from smelting of polymetallic ores from the deposit Řepová, which comprise the same minor elements.

Its original host rock environment were Cretaceous-to-Palaeocene flysch sediments of the Soláň Formation, belonging to the Rača Unit of the flysch belt of the Outer Western Carpathians. Based on bulk chemical composition, the studied phosphorite concretion is formed by ca. 47 wt. % of carbonate-fluorapatite, 31 wt. % of carbonate (rhodochrosite to Fe-rich rhodochrosite), and 21 wt. % of detritic admixture. The grains of carbonate are zoned with increasing Fe/Mn ratio from core to rim. Accessory pyrite with elevated contents (0.X wt. %) of Mn, Ni, Co, Cu, As and Pb as well as very rare sphalerite were also found. Phosphorite is product of early diagenetic processes operating in unconsolidated host deep-sea sediments. The material source of this mineralization was in unstable components of host sediments, which were remobilized by pore fluids under reducing conditions associated with shallow burial. The geochemical signature suggests that material resembling oceanic manganese nodules could have participate during formation of the studied authigenic mineralization.

Abandoned iron skarn deposit Hraničná is located 16 km NW of Jeseník, Silesia, Czech Republic. It is situated in the Staré Město Crystalline Complex, belt of high grade metamorphic rocks, which suppose to be a meta-ophiolite of the initial Cambro-Ordovican rifting. The deposit itself is formed by two stratiform magnetite-hematite bands within the marbles and quartz-rich biotite gneisses. Marbles containing silicates are rich in Zn and Pb and give evidence for sedimentary of volcanosedimentary origin of the ore accumulation. We collected several samples at the adit and +20 m levels of the mine which yielded phosphohedyphane. Mineral forms irregular aggregates up to 100 μm within the calcite-dolomite-magnetite skarn. Its average chemical formula from 7 WDS spots is (Ca2.07Sr0.03Ba0.01Mg0.02Pb3.23Zn0.01Fe0.09Al0.01)Σ5.47[(PO4)2.53(AsO4)0.03(SO3)0.01(SiO4)0.24]Σ2.81[Cl1.05F0.20]Σ1.25 based on 13 O+Cl+F. Use of the normalization to Ca1 + Ca2 = 5 and employing the charge balance could lead to the possible presence of (CO3)2- up to 0.60 apfu, resp. 3.61 hm. % CO2; this possible content do not have any effect on mineral classification. It is, therefore, fifth reported occurrence of this mineral in the territory of the Czech Republic and the Bohemian Massif.
Minerály kontaminovaných granitových pegmatitů z lomu Pohled u Havlíčkova Brodu (moldanubikum), část I: oxidy, karbonáty, silikáty a fosfáty

Published: October 2020

In the Pohled quarry near Havlíčkův Brod town (central part of Czech Republic), granitic pegmatites form dikes or irregular bodies cementing breccia of host metamorphic rocks (paragneisses, amphibolites) belonging to the Monotonous (Ostrong) Group of the Moldanubicum of the Bohemian Massif. Pegmatites exhibit coarse-grained textures and very simple mineral composition, which, however, was in places strongly modified by superimposed hydrothermal alterations and locally also by crystallization of ore minerals. K-feldspar, plagioclase (An0-38), biotite (phlogopite), apatite (fluorapatite to hydroxylapatite), zircon, allanite-(Ce) and part of quartz undoubtedly originated during magmatic stage. Products of hydrothermal alterations include younger quartz, Fe-Mg chlorites (older clinochlore and younger chamosite with an admixture of Ca-smectite), prehnite, clinozoisite, amphibole (actinolite), titanite, calcite, and very probably also ilmenite (with up to 22.5 mol. % of pyrophanite), rutile, anatase and V-Cr-Fe-rich grossular with 13 - 25 mol.% of goldmanite and 12 - 24 mol.% uvarovite. The elevated contents of Mg, Ca, V and Cr found in some minerals are associated with a material contamination by the surrounding metamorphic rocks (especially amphibolites, serpentinites and perhaps also graphitic lithologies), which took place with varying intensity during both magmatic and hydrothermal stages of evolution of the studied pegmatites. Geochemically, they are poorly fractionated pegmatites, whose origin was probably connected with anatexis of the host Moldanubian metamorphic rocks, which was likely associated with emplacement of adjacent small body of the Pohled Granodiorite.

Published: October 2020

Bohseite was found in a lenticular body of D6e beryl-columbite granitic pegmatite near Maršíkov, which is hosted by amphibole gneisses of the Sobotín Amphibolite Massif (Silesicum, northeastern part of Czech Republic). Bohseite forms chalky white aggregates up to 1 cm in size, which are hosted by small vugs in the coarse-grained pegmatite. It is associated with small crystals of quartz, adularia, albite, muscovite and epidote. Bohseite is orthorhombic, space group Cmcm with following unit-cell parameters refined from X-ray powder diffraction data: a 23.210(2), b 4.955(2), c 19.428(3) Å and V 2234.5(1.0) Å3. The electron microprobe compositional data of bohseite are presented. Bohseite from Maršíkov contains 14.3 - 42.5 mol. % of bavenite component, up to 0.06 apfu Na and 0.13 - 0.36 apfu F. The association with other beryllium-rich phases (milarite, bertrandite) points to variable activities of Be and Al during hydrothermal stage of evolution of the pegmatite body. The likely source of Be was beryl, which is sometimes completely dissolved and vugs after its crystals are lined by small crystals of above mentioned hydrothermal phases.

The government through the Manpower Office has built a Job Training Center which aims to provide skills and expertise to training participants in order to improve the quality of prospective workforce. The service for admitting new students at the Cilegon City Work Training Center which is implemented has not been effective because it still uses the manual system, where participants come to the office to take the registration form. This study aims to create a web-based information system for new student admissions at the Cilegon City Work Training Center. Making this new web-based student admission information system uses the waterfall method which includes software requirements analysis, design, system coding, system testing, system support and maintenance. The web-based admission system at the Cilegon City Work Training Center can make it easier for prospective new students to register by saving time and costs compared to coming in person. With this new student admission information system, it is hoped that it can facilitate the processing of new students at the Cilegon City Work Training Center.

Published: October 2020

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) are obligate biotrophs living in symbiotic association with roots of plants. They are among the most widespread soil microorganisms that provide the host plant with nutrients and pathogen protection. Modern farming practices like frequent tillage, high input inorganic fertilization and pesticide along changing climatic conditions due to global warming, have huge impacts on AMF colonization, interaction with plants and on crop productivity. AMF positively affect the plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, harsh ecosystems and plant pathogens by altering root structure, exudation, rhizosphere microflora, production of antifungals, antibacterials, and competing with pathogens for nutrient uptake. Thus, it plays a significant role in plant growth, productivity and quality. Further, the effect of a fungicide is varied depending on its mode of action and the associated AMF species, suggesting that these fungi have a strong potential as a tool for eco-friendly sustainable farming in the present scenario of global warming.
DOES STOCK MARKET DEVELOPMENT PLAY ANY ROLE IN THE EFFECT OF FDI ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN NIGERIA? AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION
Authors: Aigheyisi Oziengbe Scott
Published: October 2020

The objective of the paper is to investigate whether stock market development plays any role in the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth in Nigeria. Using annual time series data that span the period from 1981 to 2014, and employing the fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) estimation technique, the empirical evidence indicates that FDI, domestic investment and stock market development positively and significantly affect economic growth, but the effect of the interaction between stock market development and FDI on economic growth is negative and significant, indicating that the Nigerian bourse is not yet fully developed to engender positive growth effect of FDI. The study further finds that government consumption expenditure and trade openness adversely affect the growth of the country’s real GDP per capita. Recommendations of the paper include efforts by the government to design and implement programmes and policies aimed at enhancing the attractiveness of the country to foreign and local investors, efforts by capital market regulators to enhance stock market efficiency, reduction of government consumption expenditures and import control.
ИСТОРИЯ СТАНОВЛЕНИЯ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОГО МУЗЕЯ ЮЖНОГО УРАЛА (HISTORY OF FORMATION OF THE STATE MUSEUM OF THE SOUTHERN URALS)
Authors: Antipin Nikolay
Published: October 2020

The article reconstructs the initial period of the history of the state historical Museum of the southern Urals (Chelyabinsk). The purpose of the article is to determine the date of Foundation of the Museum, for which a wide range of archival sources is analyzed. In the modern Museum, the date of Foundation is July 1, 1923. The article proves that the date of Foundation of the Museum should be considered September 5, 1913, when a meeting of teachers, local historians and representatives of local authorities was held in Chelyabinsk, where a decision was made to organize a natural history Museum and a local branch of the Ural society of natural history lovers. The article shows that the period of 1913-1923 in the history of the Museum is full of events, the continuity from the first collection to the opening on July 1, 1923 is traced.
In the article, the author also considers the issues of commemoration, the formation and development of the Museum, and the development of the Museum during the civil war. According to the author, strengthening the connection of one of the most important cultural institutions of the Chelyabinsk region – the State historical Museum of the southern Urals with the pre-revolutionary past is not only a tribute to scientific truth, but also an important image step that allows you to record deep cultural traditions in Russia
SPEAKING VERBS AND THEIR DIFFERENT STUDY APPROACHES IN MODERN ENGLISH
Authors: Sultangubiyeva Aigul
Published: October 2020

In linguistics, the study of speaking verbs, such as verbs of speech, communicative verbs is researched in different directions, both domestic and foreign scientists set themselves different tasks. They were studied from the point of view of their lexical and grammatical semantics, from the point of view of the syntactic properties of these verbs, at the functional level, in the aspect of the relationship between thinking and speech, the logical and semantic properties of speech verbs.
However, there are still no works in linguistics that consider the functional categorization of speaking verbs with a mechanism description for varying their categorical status from the standpoint of functional, semiological and prototypical approaches to the formation of the categorical meaning of predicative units.
The verbs say, tell, speak and talk carry one integral symptom “speaking”, while the linguistic units have differential signs in their semantic meaning. In this regard, the verbs say, tell, speak and talk are attributed to the nuclear zone, and their synonyms are in the peripheral zones.
The concept of “speaking” in modern English can be objectified at the linguistic level in the most generalized form, stylistically neutralized by the verbs say, tell, speak and talk, which we define as prototypes of the concept study.
ROLE OF LEARNING SPACES IN LEARNING LANGUAGES
Authors: Shilibekova Aigerim
Published: October 2020

This article presents a literature review of selected studies devoted to the research of the features of learning spaces and their impact on the development of language competencies of teachers and students. The presented review is a part of a comprehensive project to develop a conceptual framework and conduct empirical research based on “English Only Space” (EOS) – an innovative learning space implemented at Atyrau State University.
When designing EOS, the author used an approach that defines, under the learning space, or, according to the OECD Concept (2013), the physical environment of learning, “physical spaces (including formal and non-formal) in which teachers and students interact, content (content), equipment and technology.” Practical decisions in designing this learning space were based on a detailed analysis of the latest publications from different disciplines, comparing various authors’ views and determining new trends in a number of fields such as philology, applied linguistics, pedagogy, psychology, and ecology. Such approach allowed achieving conditions when language teaching and learning turns into an instrument of interdisciplinary cognition, and the physical environment provides affordances formanaging resources efficiently in order to achieve maximum learning outcome.
At the same time, the present literature review served as a driver for an active start for further practice-oriented research in EOS based on two assumptions: the need to search and develop unique ways of learning English, exploring a wide range of influencing (environmental) factors; the fulfillment of the main purpose of the space if it promotes and supports experiences that promote learning and the achievement of learning outcomes.
