Authors: Veynbender Alina , Shuliko Natal'ya , Hamova Ol'ga , Popolzuhina Nina , Soldatova Liya
Published: February 2025

The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of pre-sowing inoculation on the microbiological activity of the rhizosphere, the productivity of new soybean varieties Cheremshanka and Sibiryachka, and their resistance to stressful conditions in the southern forest-steppe of Western Siberia. The study was carried out in the southern forest-steppe zone of Western Siberia (Omsk Region) in 2020–2021. The objects of the study were soybean varieties selected by the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution "Omsk ANC" Sibiryachka and Cheremshanka, as well as their rhizosphere. Experiment options: Sibiryachka K (control), Sibiryachka Rizotorfin VR 835, Cheremshanka K (control), Cheremshanka Rizotorfin VR 835. The use of the biological product Rizotorfin VR 835 had an impact on the intensity of the transformation processes of organic substances occurring in the rhizosphere of the crop. In 2020, saprotrophic bacteria were most active, due to which the immobilization process predominated. In 2021, nitrogen fixation in microbial cells occurred more abundantly compared to the previous year. A positive effect was also exerted on the number of microorganisms in the rhizosphere of the culture, stimulating their growth relative to the control. At the same time, the number of ammonifiers on MPA (meat peptone agar) increased by 53 %, amylolytic microorganisms by 24–41 %, oligonitrophils by 50 %, and phosphate-mobilizing bacteria by 2 times. The number of soil fungi as sources of phytopathogenic infection in the Cheremshanka variety in 2021 decreased by 4 times compared to the control. On average, over the two years of the study, the total number of microorganisms in the rhizosphere of soybean varieties under the influence of inoculation increased by 1.4–1.6 times relative to the control, and to a slightly greater extent in the Sibiryachka variety. An increase in the number of rhizosphere microorganisms when using Rizotorfin BP 835 contributed to an increase in soybean yield by 0.2 t/ha in both varieties compared to the control, which was confirmed by the calculated coefficient of determination r2 = 0.43.

Published: February 2025

The purpose of research is to study the dynamics of protein content in the grain of spring wheat of Siberian selection in the forest-steppe conditions of the Krasnoyarsk Region and to determine the most stable varieties in terms of its accumulation. The experiments were carried out in 2016–2022. The objects of the study are five varieties of soft spring wheat, zoned in the Krasnoyarsk Region: Novosibirskaya 29, Novosibirskaya 31, Krasnoyarskaya 12, Pamyati Vavenkova and Altayskaya 75, according to the quality group belonging to valuable and strong wheat. Among the varieties studied, the Novosibirskaya 29 variety had the highest average protein content in grain. The lowest grain protein content was noted in the Krasnoyarskaya 12 variety. In general, the protein content varied predominantly weakly over the years (V = 8 %), with the exception of the varieties Krasnoyarskaya 12 and Pamyati Vavenkova (V = 11–13 %), which indicates the stability of the indicator under the conditions of the forest-steppe zone of the Krasnoyarsk Region. Analysis of variance showed that the protein content in spring wheat grain statistically significantly (p < 0.001) depends on the variety and year conditions. The indicator of the strength of influence of the factor “variety” on protein content is 17.6 %, the strength of influence of the factor “year” is 59.2 %. Of the studied varieties, for the stable production of grain with the highest protein content in the forest-steppe of the Krasnoyarsk Region, the Novosibirskaya 29 variety is recommended, since it forms high-protein grain regardless of the weather conditions of the growing season and is the most environmentally stable.
Campowy androgyn. „Rocky Horror Picture Show” Jima Sharmana
Authors: Kosińska Karolina
Published: February 2025

Rocky Horror Picture Show, film Jima Sharmana oparty na sztuce Richarda O'Briena (Rocky Horror Show), to jeden z najbardziej klasycznych przykładów kina kultowego. To także jeden z tych filmów, które w pełni, jawnie i całkiem świadomie wykorzystują strategię i estetykę campu. Właśnie zgodnie z tą strategią konstruowane i dekonstruowane są wzory płci i seksualności trojga bohaterów: Franka oraz pary Janet i Brada. Podczas gdy narzeczeni reprezentują przesadnie uproszczony stereotyp purytańskiego ideału kobiecości i męskości, Frank rozbija wszelkie normy oraz kategorie płciowe i seksualne. Choć sam siebie nazywa słodkim transwestytą z transseksualnej Transylwanii, nie można go jednoznacznie określić. Przychodzi z innego świata i reprezentuje porządek zupełnie inny od tego, który jest konstruowany przez społeczne, „ziemskie” normy. To postać, która sytuuje się nie tyle na granicy podziału płciowego, ile poza nim. Zachowuje przy tym pełnię erotycznej mocy, jest androgynem, który fascynuje i uwodzi zarówno Brada, jak i Janet. Kochanek taki, istota bez zdefiniowanej płci, to pewnego rodzaju model, oniryczny symbol przejścia, inicjacji, androgynizacji, którą aplikuje „niewinnej” parze. Dzięki niemu, czy też przez niego, Brad i Janet wypadają z idealnych ról, a tym samym otwierają się na rzeczy dotąd im nieznane, na wolność kreowania własnej tożsamości i na seksualność w ogóle.

Przełomowe filmy w subiektywie Piotra Zawojskiego
Authors: Kita Barbara
Published: February 2025

Recenzja książki Piotra Zawojskiego zatytułowanej Wielkie filmy przełomu wieków. Subiektywny przewodnik, w której autor prezentuje przegląd ważnych - z jego punktu widzenia - filmów powstałych w ciągu ostatnich 16 lat, poczynając od Hołoty Kena Loacha (1990) po Tajemnicę Brokeback Mountain (2005) w reżyserii Anga Lee. Recenzentka podkreśla silnie subiektywny charakter przewodnika, a tym samym fakt, że dokonanie takiego wyboru najważniejszych filmów przełomu wieków, który zadowalałby wszystkich, jest raczej niemożliwe. Kita zwraca również uwagę na specyficzny sposób pisania autora o filmach, który sprawia, że jego subiektywne spostrzeżenia często przyjmujemy w czasie lektury za własne. Jedną z licznych wymienianych przez Barbarę Kitę zalet książki jest także to, że Zawojski czytelnie i z lekkością wprowadza do naszego słownika terminologię specjalistyczną oraz kanon nazwisk koniecznych dla wprawnego odczytania kultury, nie tylko filmowej (np. Sontag, Baudrillard, Virilio, Debord, Greenaway, Lynch czy Haneke). Autor przewodnika prowadzi również wartościową dla czytelnika refleksję nad kondycją obrazu audiowizualnego, statusem artysty oraz technologią. Recenzentka stwierdza, że refleksja ta – niejako ukrywająca się pod samą prezentacją filmów – jest właściwą treścią książki.
Między prawdą zdjęcia a prawdą obrazu. O filmach Andrieja Zwiagincewa
Authors: Frankowska Katarzyna
Published: February 2025

Andriej Zwiagincew do swoich dwóch filmów fabularnych (Powrót /2003/, Wygnanie /2007/) włączył malarski cytat i fotografię. Konkretne płótna przywołane w diegezie i przykłady malarskiej ikonografii (za sprawą filmowych mise en scène) komponują się w niewielkie cykle biblijne i prowokują do biblijnych interpretacji, do prób utożsamienia bohaterów z postaciami biblijnymi. Bohaterowie jednak działają wbrew domniemanym prototypom, nie są świadomi obecności malarskich cytatów ani ich sensów, a cytaty są podporządkowane filmowej fabule. Znacząca obecność fotografii kieruje uwagę widza, co zrozumiałe, właśnie w jej stronę - rozbudowuje i umacnia realność filmowej fikcji. Dopiero na koniec w obu filmach widz zostaje zmuszony do weryfikacji także i tego tropu. W ostatnich scenach oglądamy zbiór nieznacznie zmienionych (w treści i nastroju) zdjęć - dowód omylności naszej intuicji i ocen. Zwiagincew, pytany o niejednoznaczność bohaterów i ich zachowań, mówi o zagadce albo paradoksie, których żaden autor nie może w pełni odkryć czy wyjaśnić. Nie na tym polega jego rola. Artysta, według reżysera, ma kierować uwagę widza na pewne zagadnienia.
Gabinet luster Krzysztofa Kieślowskiego
Authors: Kempna Magdalena
Published: February 2025

Recenzja pracy zbiorowej pod redakcją Andrzeja Gwoździa zatytułowanej Kino Kieślowskiego, kino po Kieślowskim. Autorka omawia poszczególne artykuły, próbując sformułować uogólniająca myśl spajającą cały tom. Kempna podkreśla, że autorom pracy udało się przedstawić kilkanaście różnych twarzy reżysera (np. Kieślowski filmów dokumentalnych, Kieślowski fatalista, Kieślowski metafizyczny lub pseudometafizyczny), które zaświadczają o wysokiej dyskursywności jego filmowych dokonań, a zarazem o ich otwartości na rozmaite polemiki i dyskusje. Autorka zwraca uwagę na przemyślany układ tekstów, które budują swoistą otwartą narrację o życiu i dziele Kieślowskiego. Kolejne artykuły prezentują ewolucję postawy reżysera, ukazują kształtowanie się jego osobowości twórczej i właściwej mu koncepcji sztuki, przedstawiają dokonania artystyczne i pedagogiczne Kieślowskiego oraz poruszają problem recepcji jego dzieł. Według Kempnej, z tomu wyłania się przekonanie o głęboko humanistycznym wydźwięku twórczości Kieślowskiego, którą można postrzegać jako swego rodzaju gabinet luster odbijających współczesne koncepcje sztuki, a także rozmaite trendy i zjawiska dzisiejszej kultury, w tym również kinematografii.

Methodological Quality of Grounded Theory in Mathematics Education Researches: A Systematic Review
Authors:   Umm al Qura University,  Saudi Arabia, Almutairi Bandar
Published: February 2025

This study aimed to provide a systematic review by evaluating the accuracy and quality of mathematics education research that employed the grounded theory methodology. A systematic search was conducted in the databases (EBSCO), (SAGE Journals), (Google Scholar), (Springer), and (Eric) to identify studies in the field of mathematics education that mentioned the use of grounded theory methodology and/or methods in the title, abstract, or methodology. The descriptive characteristics and methodological quality of eligible studies were examined using evaluation guidelines developed by (Hutchison et al., 2011). The review included eighteen research papers conducted between 2010 and 2023. The results showed that the grounded theory methodology is increasingly being used by researchers. Five studies (33%) provided a good understanding and appropriate application of grounded theory methodology through their adherence to the six principles. The rates of application of the principles of grounded theory were variable, although most studies did not adhere to the principles of grounded theory and its capabilities were not exploited well, such as memos, theoretical sampling, use of charts and tables, theoretical saturation, and integration of theory with the literature, which was reflected in the opportunities for theoretical innovation.

Keywords: grounded theory, methodological quality of grounded theory, mathematics education research.

Impact of Maternal Anxiety and Stress During Pregnancy on Fetal Neurodevelopment: A Longitudinal Cohort Study in Jakarta, Indonesia
Authors: Leonardo Simanjuntak  , Tomiola Owkwulu  , Tanvir Ahmed  , Reza Andrianto  , Lestini Wulansari
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Maternal anxiety and stress during pregnancy are increasingly recognized as significant factors influencing fetal neurodevelopment. This study investigated the impact of maternal anxiety and stress levels during pregnancy on various aspects of fetal neurodevelopment in a cohort of pregnant women in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Methods: A longitudinal cohort study was conducted at three major hospitals in Jakarta, involving 500 pregnant women in their first trimester. Maternal anxiety and stress levels were assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) at three time points: first trimester (10-14 weeks), second trimester (20-24 weeks), and third trimester (30-34 weeks). Fetal neurodevelopment was assessed using fetal movement counting, fetal heart rate variability (using Doppler ultrasound), and later, infant neurodevelopmental assessments at 6 and 12 months postpartum using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development III. Data analysis involved correlation and regression analyses to examine the relationship between maternal anxiety/stress and fetal/infant neurodevelopmental outcomes.
Results: The study found a significant positive correlation between maternal anxiety and stress levels across all trimesters. Higher maternal anxiety and stress, particularly in the second and third trimesters, were associated with reduced fetal movement counts (p < 0.05) and altered fetal heart rate variability patterns (p < 0.01). Furthermore, higher maternal anxiety and stress during pregnancy were associated with lower scores on the cognitive and motor scales of the Bayley Scales at both 6 and 12 months (p < 0.001). Specifically, maternal anxiety in the third trimester was the strongest predictor of lower cognitive scores at 12 months.
Conclusion: Maternal anxiety and stress during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters, have a demonstrable impact on fetal neurodevelopment and subsequent infant development. These findings highlight the importance of screening for and managing maternal anxiety and stress during pregnancy to promote optimal fetal and infant neurodevelopment. Interventions targeting stress reduction and anxiety management should be integrated into routine prenatal care.

Authors:   Samara Campus of the «Moscow city university», Leontyeva A.N.
Published: February 2025

In recent years, such a category of psychology as subjective well-being has become the subject of special attention of
scientists and practitioners from various fields of scientific knowledge. This situation is due to the relevance of studying
the category of psychological well-being of an individual, which influences the most important aspects of human life -
physical, spiritual, social. This article describes the results of content analysis on the issue of subjective well-being of an
individual in adolescence. The subjects are students of the Samara branch of the Moscow City Pedagogical University,
consisting of 100 people - 90 girls and 10 boys. Students study at the faculty of pedagogy and psychology, aged from 18 to
22 years. The study revealed that subjective well-being is a complex multicomponent phenomenon that includes various
aspects and is one of the criteria for the development of a holistic harmonious personality. The author describes the
following categories that act as predictors of personal well-being: spiritual, emotional and personal. The study of subjective well-being of an individual and the predictors that determine it will allow us to expand existing research on this issue.
THEATRICAL FOLKLORE HOLIDAYS IN THE MODERN FESTIVE CULTURE OF LUHANSK REGION
Authors:   Matusovsky Academy of Culture and Arts, Oleinikova M.V.
Published: February 2025

This article examines theatrical folklore festivals as an important element of the modern festive culture of the Luhansk
region. Their features, functions and role in the preservation of folk traditions are analyzed. The influence of modern
trends on the development of folklore holidays and their perception by society is considered. The author examines the
rich tradition of folklore festivals of the Luhansk region, the origins of which go back to agrarian rituals and rituals associated with rural labor. Attention is also paid to the transformations of folklore festivals caused by historical and social
changes such as the Industrial Revolution and Soviet ideology. Despite the threat of the disappearance of some customs
after the collapse of the USSR, folklore holidays are regaining popularity in the modern context of the Luhansk People's
Republic, which is associated with an increasing interest in national identity and cultural traditions. Summing up, the
author emphasizes that the theatrical folklore festivals of the Luhansk region serve as an important tool not only for the
preservation of cultural heritage, but also for its active renewal and interaction with modern society. These holidays,
integrated with new media forms and technologies, allow us to maintain interest in folk culture and pass on traditions
to new generations, thereby making folklore a dynamic and lively process in the context of the modern world.
Optimization methods for construction schedules to enhance project efficiency
Authors:   Senior Scheduler, WOOD Group USA, Sanford, Florida, Huseynov Mehdi
Published: February 2025

This article examines modern methodological developments in the field of construction schedule optimization as a tool to improve the management efficiency of related projects. The relevance of the topic is justified by the urgent need to adapt traditional planning approaches to the realities of digitalization, the growth of project scales, and the complexity of infrastructure design. The aim of the study is to systematize and characterize approaches that ensure the minimization of time and resource costs (without compromising the quality of construction work). Following a review of contemporary scientific literature, discrepancies have been identified regarding the choice of optimal methods for different types of projects: on one hand, research shows high effectiveness of automated technologies (such as 4D BIM), while on the other hand, their implementation is often significantly limited by economic and organizational determinants. The conclusion is made that successful optimization actions in this area require the integration of classical methods (CPM, PERT) with adaptive algorithms and mathematical models. The author's contribution lies in the formulation of recommendations for improving the efficiency of construction schedules (a specific sequence of actions is proposed, taking into account both external and internal challenges). The materials presented will be useful for project managers, engineers, and researchers focused on improving the efficiency of construction processes.

Authors: Camarillo-Ramos Nadia , Mateos Corral Isis , González Rascón Anna Arely , Espinosa de Santillana Irene Aurora
Published: February 2025

Los terceros molares presentan variaciones en sus posiciones, lo que puede complicar su extracción quirúrgica. Para predecir esta dificultad, se han desarrollado diversas clasificaciones, escalas e índices. Se revisaron estudios publicados entre 2012 y 2024 en PubMed, Scielo, Elsevier y Redalyc, enfocados en herramientas para predecir la dificultad quirúrgica. Se compararon las clasificaciones de Winter, Pell y Gregory, Sánchez Torres; la Escala Modificada de Romero Ruíz, el Índice de Pederson, Koerner y el ¨Nuevo Índice de Dificultad para la Exodoncia de Terceros Molares Mandibulares Impactados¨. Estas herramientas utilizan parámetros como angulación y profundidad para evaluar la dificultad. Aunque las radiografías periapicales y panorámicas son útiles para la planificación quirúrgica, presentan limitaciones. Sin embargo, proporcionan una base sólida para la evaluación de la dificultad quirúrgica en la extracción de terceros molares.
Measuring Binaural Temporal-Fine-Structure Sensitivity in Hearing-Impaired Listeners, Using the TFS-AF Test
Authors: Mathew Deena Susan , Sreenivasan Anuprasad , Alexander Arun , Palani Saravanan
Published: February 2025

Background:Various methods have been used to measure temporal-fine-structure (TFS) sensitivity in hearing-impaired (HI) listeners. A new method called TFS-adaptive frequency (TFS-AF) test, tracks the highest frequency up to which a person can detect a given interaural phase difference
(IPD) in bursts of pure tones. So far, the test was only administered to listeners with normal hearing (NH) or impaired low-frequency hearing. It is currently not known if this test can also be used for listeners with different configurations of hearing losses.Purpose:To investigate
whether the TFS-AF test can also be used on listeners with a larger diversity of hearing losses and what would be the best fixed IPD value to conduct the test.Research Design:Using a cross-sectional study design, we compared the thresholds of TFS-AF test between the NH and HI listeners
at three different IPDs (90°, 60°, and 30°).Study sample:Thirty NH (mean age = 37.9; range 19‐53 years) and thirty HI (mean age = 38.6; range 19‐53 years) with different configurations of hearing losses were tested.Results:The listeners were able to
complete the TFS-AF test at larger values of IPD. Average thresholds were lower (i.e., worse) in the HI listeners than in the NH listeners. Threshold did not correlate with the listeners’ age in each group.Conclusion:This test can be used clinically as it provides a graded measure
of TFS ability for young to young-old adult listeners with a variety of hearing losses.
GIN Test: A Meta-Analysis on Its Neurodiagnostic Value
Authors: Filippini Renata , Wong Bryan , Schochat Eliane , Musiek Frank
Published: February 2025

Purpose:A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate how effective the Gaps-in-Noise (GIN) test is in separating populations who are and who are not at risk of having neurological damage related to the central auditory nervous system (CANS). This was investigated by asking three
specific questions: (1) Does ear and side of lesion have an effect over the individual’s performance? (2) How large is the difference in performance between control and neurological groups? (3) What are the diagnostic indices related to the GIN test?Data Collection and Analysis:A
literature review was performed between April 2016 and April 2017. The eligibility criteria for inclusion were as follows: (1) studies that used the GIN test as an outcome measure, (2) studies that included adult participants who either had confirmed lesions or were at risk of having lesions
to the CANS or related regions, and (3) studies that had a neurologically normal control group. From relevant studies that met eligibility criteria, information regarding study design, participants, lesion details and origins, use of additional assessments, GIN performance scores for both
control (CTRL) and neurological (NRLG) groups, GIN cutoff scores and proportion of individuals with normal and abnormal performances were all included.Results:Nine studies were included, totaling 221 participants in NRLG (stroke = 90, epilepsy = 67, and blast exposure [BLST] = 64) and
262 in CTRL (Stroke = 106, Epilepsy = 98, and BLST = 58). No significant ear effects related to side of lesion were observed for the GIN test in neurological patients nor were there significant ear differences for normal individuals with symmetrically normal hearing. The GIN demonstrated consistency
among different neurological populations, presented good sensitivity and specificity rates, and was overall accurate in discriminating between participants with neuroauditory lesions from neurologically normal individuals.Conclusions:The GIN is thus a clinically effective measure that
provides insight into the CANS integrity and may aid in clinical diagnosis by distinguishing between populations who are and who are not at risk of having neurological damage affecting the CANS.
Relationship Between Auditory and Visual Noise Acceptance in Normal-Hearing Listeners
Authors: Faulkner Kathleen F. , Plyler Patrick N. , Easterday Mary K. , Slade Teresa M.
Published: February 2025

Background:Research has shown that hearing aid acceptance is closely related to how well an individual tolerates background noise, regardless of improved speech understanding in background noise. The acceptable noise level (ANL) test was developed to quantify background noise
acceptance. The ANL test measures a listener’s willingness to listen to speech in noise rather than their ability to understand speech in noise, and is clinically valuable as a predictor of hearing aid success.Purpose:Noise acceptance is thought to be mediated by central regions
of the nervous system, but the underlying mechanism of noise acceptance is not well understood. Higher order central efferent mechanisms may be weaker and/or central afferent mechanisms are more active in listeners with large versus small ANLs. Noise acceptance, therefore, may not be limited
to the auditory modality but observable across modalities. We designed a visual-ANL test, as a parallel of the auditory-ANL test, to examine the relations between auditory and visual noise acceptance.Research Design:A correlational design.Study Sample:Thirty-seven adults between
the ages of 21 and 30 years with normal hearing participated in this study.Data Collection and Analysis:All participants completed the standard auditory-ANL task, the visual-ANL task developed for this study, reception thresholds for sentences using the hearing in noise test, and visual
sentence recognition in noise using the text reception threshold test. Correlational analyses were performed to evaluate the relations between and among the ANL and perception tasks.Results:Auditory- and Visual-ANLs were correlated; those who accepted more auditory noise were also those
who accepted more visual noise. Auditory and visual perceptual measures were also correlated, demonstrating that both measures reflect common processes underlying the ability to recognize speech in noise. Finally, as expected, noise acceptance levels were unrelated to perception in noise across
modalities.Conclusions:The results of this study support our hypothesis that noise acceptance may not be unique to the auditory modality, specifically, that the common variance shared between the two ANL tasks, may reflect a shared general perceptual or cognitive mechanism that is not
specific to the auditory or visual domains. These findings also support that noise acceptance and speech recognition reflect different aspects of auditory and visual perception. Future work will relate these ANL measures with central tasks of inhibition and include hearing-impaired individuals
to explore the mechanisms underlying noise acceptance.
Temporal Processing and Speech Perception Performance in Postlingual Adult Users of Cochlear Implants
Authors: Cesur Sıdıka , Derinsu Ufuk
Published: February 2025

Background:Cochlear implant (CI) listeners had some hearing problems, including catching clues from speech context, persist, particularly in complex listening environments. Among these hearing problems, temporal resolution is considered to be one of the most affected aspects
of hearing.Purpose:The aim of the study is to assess and compare the temporal resolution ability of CI users and individuals with normal hearing using the Gaps-in-Noise (GIN) test. This study also aims to investigate whether there are any differences in speech recognition and temporal
resolution performance between groups separated according to the implanted ear, gender, CI type, or sound processor strategies.Research Design:Case-control study.Study Samples:18 adults (9 males, 9 females) with normal hearing, ranging in age between 18 and 55 years (mean: 30.64
± 8.59 years) and 18 postlingual adults (10 males, 8 females) with bilateral CIs ranging in age between 19 and 59 years (mean: 36.64 ± 16.59 years) were included in the current study.Data Collection and Analysis:Hearing thresholds, word recognition scores (WRS), and GIN
test were conducted for each participant. Two parameters of GIN test were determined: the GIN threshold and total percentage score (TPS). Mann‐Whitney U test was used to test the significance of the differences between the groups in terms of GIN threshold, WRS, and TPS.Results:CI
group showed significantly (p < 0.001) poorer performance in terms of WRS than normal hearing group. However there were no significant differences in WRS between groups which were divided according to the implanted ear, gender, CI type, and sound processor strategies. The mean GIN
threshold was 3.33 ± 1.2 msec, whereas it was 9.56 ± 3.49 msec in CI users. Moreover the mean value of TPS was 90.77% in the normal group and 47.22% in the CI group. These differences between the two groups were also found statistically significant (p < 0.001).Conclusions:Our
results show that CI users do not discriminate GIN as well as normal-hearing individuals, although their hearing levels with CIs are very close to normal hearing limits at all frequencies.

Published: February 2025

North Aceh is a district in Aceh Province, Indonesia, with significant potential in agriculture and plantations. Agricultural products, particularly food crops and horticulture, serve as leading commodities, as most of the region is a major producer of agricultural goods. This study identifies the absence of a mapping and clustering system for agricultural production in North Aceh, which complicates the classification of production levels into low, medium, and high categories. To address this issue, this research develops a mapping and clustering system for agricultural production using the K-Medoids algorithm. The system categorizes production into high-production clusters (C1), medium-production clusters (C2), and low-production clusters (C3). The research process includes a literature review, data collection, data analysis, implementation of the K-Medoids algorithm, and Geographic Information System (GIS)-based mapping. Using 25 test data points from 27 sub-districts in 2023, the study identifies high-production clusters (C1) for commodities such as rice, soybean, mango, starfruit, guava, water guava, Siamese oranges, large oranges, mangosteen, pineapple, mustard greens, soursop, breadfruit, gnetum, twisted cluster bean, and duku. Medium-production clusters (C2) include corn, durian, papaya, banana, rambutan, jackfruit, and jengkol, while low-production clusters (C3) include avocado and snake fruit. These results are visualized through a GIS-based map. The study demonstrates that the K-Medoids algorithm effectively clusters agricultural production in North Aceh, providing valuable insights for local governments and stakeholders to support decision-making in agricultural planning and management for food security.

En café, se ha utilizado para la determinación de compuestos químicos precursores de la calidad y para la clasificación cualitativa de origen, calidad sensorial, por especies y grados de tueste. En este seminario se presentarán los resultados de la calibración del equipo NIRS con técnicas analíticas primarias como cromatografía líquida y de gases, para la determinación de 13 compuestos químicos, en el café tostado, entre los que se tienen la fracción lipídica, los azúcares, alcaloides y ácidos clorogénicos totales. Estos compuestos se determinaron en muestras de café verde de diferentes orígenes y fueron tostados en tres grados diferentes de colorimetría, según la escala Agtron/SCA. Los valores medios de los compuestos evaluados no presentaron diferencia entre los analizados por química analítica de referencia y los obtenidos por el modelo desarrollado en la técnica NIRS, determinando un error relativo de predicción para todos los compuestos menor al 0,02%.
Fenología y fisiología del fruto de café: Revisión y avances de investigación
Authors: Unigarro Carlos Andrés
Published: February 2025

Los múltiples eventos de floración del café hacen necesaria la implementación de varias recolecciones selectivas de frutos maduros durante la cosecha, dados los diferentes estados fenológicos del fruto a lo largo del año. En este contexto, el conocimiento de la fenología y fisiología del fruto es esencial para comprender el proceso de fructificación y el desarrollo de técnicas enfocadas a reducir el impacto de la recolección escalonada en la zona cafetera de Colombia. Por esto, el seminario presentará una revisión sobre el crecimiento, la fenología y la maduración de los frutos de café y sus efectos sobre la fotosíntesis. Además, se presentarán los avances obtenidos por el grupo de fisiología vegetal para retardar la maduración de los frutos con inhibidores de etileno.
Uso de condiciones controladas para la pre-selección de genotipos con resistencia a roya, portadores de genes de C. arabica
Authors: Quiroga-Cardona Julio
Published: February 2025

En Colombia, la caficultura resistente a la roya posee los genes provenientes del Híbrido de Timor (HdT). Su adopción, ha sido por excelencia la mejor alternativa para enfrentar la enfermedad, la más amigable con el medio ambiente y la más económica para las familias caficultoras. Sin embargo, la aparición de nuevos patotipos de roya, capaces afectar variedades consideradas resistentes, crea la necesidad de hacer uso de fuentes diversas a las usadas en el desarrollo de variedades, buscando identificar plantas que posean otras combinaciones genéticas de resistencia a la roya del cafeto. En este seminario se compartirán los resultados de evaluaciones de plantas obtenidas entre cruzamientos con derivados de HdT y plantas portadoras gen SH1 de resistencia a roya, identificadas en el Centro de Investigação das Ferrugens do Cafeeiro (CIFC - por sus siglas en portugués). Los resultados se registraron en condiciones controladas, se identificaron plantas promisorias que presentan alta resistencia al patógeno, desarrollo tardío de síntomas iniciales de la enfermedad y ausencia completa de reproducción del hongo. De esta forma, Cenicafé viene avanzando en el uso de genes no desplegados en el campo, para desarrollar futuras variedades resistentes a la roya y altamente productivas para Colombia.
Identificación de plantas androestériles en la Colección Colombiana de Café
Authors: Arias Juan Carlos
Published: February 2025

En especies autógamas, la hibridación es el método tradicional de mejoramiento utilizado para la combinación de características de interés, requiriendo en el caso de C. arabica L. de al menos dos décadas de evaluación y selección, para la obtención de una variedad. A pesar que muchas de las características deseadas se manifiestan en la F1 e incluso pueden expresar heterosis (vigor híbrido), la utilización de esta generación está restringida por la dificultad existente para reproducir el híbrido a escala comercial. Teniendo en cuenta este potencial, en café han sido propuestas alternativas para su uso, pero ninguna ha logrado ser ni técnica ni económicamente viables. La androesterilidad, fenómeno natural que impide la formación de gametos masculinos funcionales, es de particular utilidad en muchas especies para vencer esta limitante, y en especies autógamas la herramienta por excelencia para el aprovechamiento de la F1. Dada la diversidad genética de la especie conservada en la Colección Colombiana de Café y la importancia de la androesterilidad, en este seminario se presentan los resultados de la exploración realizada en la búsqueda de genotipos con esta característica. Estos se convierten en una valiosa herramienta para el mejoramiento genético de la especie, con potencial para facilitar el aprovechamiento de la F1 mediado por la androesterilidad, además de permitir profundizar en el proceso de desarrollo del gametofito masculino en la especie. En adición, se resalta la importancia de las actividades de caracterización y evaluación realizadas en Cenicafé, dado que agregan valor a los recursos genéticos conservados.
Agricultural Productivity in the Western Borderlands of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (Second Half of the Sixteenth Century)
Authors: Kwiatkowski Maciej
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this article is to determine the grain yields in the royal manors of the
Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the 16th and 17th centuries. The manorial system in the
Grand Duchy of Lithuania appeared with the land reform in the mid-16th century
(Volok Reform), when the three-field system was introduced here. However, there were
far fewer manor farms in Lithuania than in Poland, but they were very large. Most of
them produced grain for export based on peasant labor force. The inventories of the
royal estates give account on the seed demand and yields of the most important cereals:
rye, oats and wheat. The analysis of more than a dozen manors showed varying yields
in Lithuanian estates (Grodno Starosty, Brest Ekonomy and Kobrin Ekonomy), which
were due to natural environmental conditions, as well as elemental disasters or human
activity.
The Export Potential of Hungarian Agriculture and the Issue of Added Value between the two World Wars
Authors: Schlett András
Published: February 2025

This study presents developments concerning Hungarian agricultural exports during
a period when the production structure changed significantly and the international
agricultural market changed fundamentally. As a result of the Treaty of Trianon, the
market and logistic networks developed over the previous centuries had changed
significantly, and new actors came to play increasingly prominent roles in trade relations
in the Danubian Basin. Hungary, with its small consumer market but significant
agricultural potential, had been fundamentally dependent on the value of its agriculture
produce on foreign markets. However, the reorganization of the international market
quickly brought to the surface the contradictions and structural imbalances of Hungary’s
massive agricultural production. Analyses of the agricultural history of the past century
repeatedly revealed the problematic nature of the low value-added production of
Hungarian agriculture.

Sustainability Through Infrastructure: Pneumatic Transport and the Continuity of the Technical Fix from the Nineteenth to the Twenty-first Century
Authors: Meneghello Laura
Published: February 2025

Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, pneumatic tube-based transport has been depicted as a ‘green’, ‘sustainable’ infrastructure for the transport of both people and goods; it has been represented as a possible solution to help reduce traffic congestion, air pollution and carbon-dioxide emissions and as an alternative to heavy transport. In fact, air pollution occupies a crucial position in the hierarchy of urban problems. The article analyses sustainability discourses related with nineteenth-century atmospheric railways and similar air-driven transport solutions up to the present day, showing how techno-scientific plans and utopian representations put forward the idea that environmental problems could be solved through technology. In particular, in the twenty-first century, Hyperloop has been presented as an answer to climate and environmental crises, whereas contemporary discourses of clean transport tend to reproduce nineteenth-century discourses on the purity of air granted by the atmospheric railway.

A Unifying Polarization Formalism for Electric and Magnetic Multipole Interactions
Authors: Casini R. , Manso Sainz R. , López Ariste A. , Kaikati N.
Published: February 2025

We extend the spherical tensorial formalism for polarization to the treatment of electric and magnetic multipole transitions of any order. We rely on the spherical-wave expansion to derive the tensor form of the operator describing the interaction of the atomic system with a polarized radiation field, which naturally leads to the introduction of spherical tensors describing the polarization properties of the interacting field. As a direct application, the formalism is used to model the radiation anisotropy affecting the scattering of radiation in an electric quadrupole transition and the associated Hanle effect in the presence of a magnetic field.
