Models for Completing the Quarterly Data by Using the Structural Characteristics of a Reference Matrix
Authors: Motorin V. I. , Kenchadze D. D. , Alekseev K. A.
Published: July 2022

Completing a partially known vector of quarterly data is considered in the article as a way to identify unknown components of this vector based on structural information contained in its known components as well as in the preselected reference macroeconomic matrix. In other words, the problem of completing a quarterly vector is reduced to «upbuilding» its unknown part according to the known one based on indirect a priori information.

The article opens with a formal statement of the general problem of completing vector data together with its economic and statistical interpretation as applying to reconciling the quarterly production accounts. A general analytical solution to the problem of completing the vector of row sums is obtained on the basis of block partitioning of a reference matrix with nonnegative elements in the form of a linear model. It is shown how to use the obtained solution for completing the product output vector in the reporting quarter using the reference matrix associated with the corresponding quarter of the previous year, and how to heuristically estimate the calculation imprecision rate for the reporting quarter by analyzing the deviation of the calculated vector from the homothetic ray determined by the reference matrix. Further generalization of the analytical solution of the completing problem for the joint adjustment of quarterly production results in the reporting year in order to bring them into exact correspondence with the annual data is proposed. Particular attention is paid to heuristic estimating the imprecision rate in calculations for the reporting year based on the analysis of the difference between the system of calculated quarterly vectors and a homothety of their sum (i. e., column vector of the row margin totals for the reference annual matrix). In conclusion, recommendations to improve reliability of the completion results for quarterly vectors in practical situations are given.

КОНЦЕПТИ ЦІННІСНО-ПРАВОВОГО МЕХАНІЗМУ ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ РОЗВИТКУ ПРАВОСВІДОМОСТІ ПУБЛІЧНИХ СЛУЖБОВЦІВ
Authors: Snizhko Dmytro
Published: July 2022

У статті автором акцентовано увагу на ціннісно-правових аспектах розвитку правової свідомості публічних службовців України, які не можуть бути вирішені без знання необхідного рівня права та формування моральних та етичних норм правової культури. Адже сьогодні, в умовах інтеграційних процесів Української держави до Європейського Союзу постає важливе завдання переосмислення та сприйняття нових демократичних цінностей суспільного буття, що вимагає критичного перегляду підходів до розвитку ціннісно-правових концептів правосвідомості державних службовців та посадових осіб місцевого самоврядування на публічній службі.
Автор статті окреслює проблеми, які існують у сфері державної служби і заважають впевнено та згуртовано рухатися шляхом реформування державного управління в публічне, до побудови правової держави та громадянського суспільства. Серед головних проблем він вбачає наступні: відсутність в публічних  службовців, допущених до управ­ління державою, високого рівня морально-правових якостей, що впливають на низький рівень формування та розвитку правової свідомості. Це, відповідно, ставить перед суспільством нові пріоритетні завдання, які полягають у виокремленні певних ціннісних критеріїв до оцінки правової свідомості кандидатів на посади державної служби.
В статті розкрито змістове наповнення дефініції «ціннісно-правовий механізм забезпечення розвитку правосвідомості публічних службовців». Досліджено взаємозв’язок моралі та права як ціннісно-правових концептів у забезпеченні розвитку правової свідомості публічних службовців. Визначено  зміст, функції категорійного апарату, зокрема таких понять як «справедливість», «свобода», «особиста гідність» і «обов’язок», вказано на відмінності правосвідомісті від етики та моралі.
В дослідженні виокремлено значимість взаємозв’язку ціностей і права, що проявляється в багатьох формах – як правореалізація в публічному управлінні морально-етичної, правової, соціально-психологічної характеристики діяльності публічних службовців.
Правосвідомість публічного службовця включає структурні елементи, властиві правосвідомості всіх громадян (правова психологія, правова ідеологія, правова поведінка), і діє в єдності та взаємодії з політичною, естетичною та іншими формами суспільної свідомості. Проте правосвідомість публічних службовців має свою специфіку, зумовлену специфікою виконуваних ними завдань, прав та обов’язків на публічній службі.
РЕПУТАЦІЙНИЙ МЕХАНІЗМ ЯК ІНДИКАТОР ВИМІРЮВАННЯ РОЗВИТКУ ЛІДЕРСТВА У ПУБЛІЧНО-УПРАВЛІНСЬКІЙ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ
Authors: Storozhev Roman
Published: July 2022

Стиль лідерства визначає та характеризує поведінку лідера, є прерогативою у виконанні функціональних обов’язків в публічно-управлінській діяльності, формує репутацію лідера. За допомогою стилю управління лідер мотивує співробітників на досягнення цілей публічної установи, використовуючи свою лідерську репутацію. Тож у даній статті автор розкриває систему публічного управління, яка визначається індивідуальними особливостями лідера, що зумовлюються його репутацією та стилем.
В своєму дослідженні автор акцентує увагу на репутаційному механізмі як особливому індикатору вимірювання розвитку лідерства в публічно-управлінській діяльності. Особливо це характерно в умовах модернізаційних змін, коли зростає попит на керівників – лідерів з позитивним репутаційним капіталом. Автор розкриває поняття «репутація», його складові, що формуються на підґрунті ділових і професійних якостей лідера, моральних і психологічних рис, що найповніше проявляються у спілкуванні з іншими людьми, а також у її діях та вчинках. На думку автора, репутація – це власність аудиторії, репутація особи чи об’єкта належить іншим – стейкхолдерам, і є продуктом сприйняття іншими.
В статті подано еволюцію розвитку репутаційного механізму від часів античності до сучасності. Виокремлює основоположників цього напряму дослідження, зокрема, Ч. Фомбрана (1996 р.), за допомогою якого дане поняття виокремлюється у міждисциплінарному контексті.
Таким чином, автор визначає поняття «репутація» як усталену думку про окрему особу, групу чи колектив, що складається на основі ділових і професійних якостей, моральних і психологічних рис, що найповніше проявляються у процесі комунікації і взаємодії. Репутаційний механізм визначається автором як співвідношення категорії щодо честі, оскільки репутація позначає позитивний чи негативний стан особистості. Згідно з цим репутація дає можливість уявити про можливість тієї чи іншої поведінки її власника. Тому в статті окреслено важливі аспекти репутаційного механізму, які впливають на кар’єру керівника будь-якої організації,  мають специфічне підґрунтя – бонус, який можна визначити як ділову репутацію.

Published: July 2022

“Life-like” nonequilibrium assemblies are of increasing significance, but suffering from limited steerability as they are generally based on micro/nanomotors with inherent asymmetry in chemical composition or geometry, of which the vigorous random Brownian rotations disturb the local interactions. Here, we demonstrate that isotropic photocatalytic micromotors, due to the persistent phoretic flow from the illuminated to shadowed side irrespective of their Brownian rotations, experience light-programmable local interactions (reversibly from attraction to repulsion and/or alignment) depending on the direction of the incident lights. Thus, they can be organized into a variety of tunable nonequilibrium assemblies, such as apolar solids (i.e., immobile colloidal crystal), polar liquids (i.e., phototactic colloidal stream), and polar solids (i.e., phototactic colloidal crystal), which can further be “cut” into a predesigned pattern by utilizing the switching motor-motor interactions at superimposed-light edges. This work facilitates the development of active matters and motile functional microdevices.

Contested histories and entangled memories: the need and value of an alternative story about Cuba and Africa relations
Authors: Smith Edwin
Published: July 2022

The little Caribbean island of Cuba is again making headlines in the world. In South Africa, Cuba has generated controversy due to the South African government “farming in” Cuban doctors and other medical specialists as well as engineers. The South African government’s nomination of the Henry Reeves Emergency Medical Contingent for a Nobel Prize further incensed many in the country. Much of the controversy, this article argues, is a result of Cuba suffering an unresolved duality for South Africans: Cuba supported the ANC in exile during its anti-apartheid struggle and also fought with the then South African Defense Force during the border wars in Angola from 1975 to 1987.

The publication in 2021 of Cuba and Africa 1959-1994: Writing an alternative Atlantic history, edited by Bonacci, Delmas and Argyriadis presents scholars a remarkable opportunity to place Cuba’s history with Africa and South Africa in a context different from the traditional Cold War dichotomy characterising much of Cuba’s relationship with Africa. The new volume on Cuba/Africa history, which is silent on Cuba/South Africa relations in particular, is not comprehensive nor does it claim to be. Consequently, it provides South Africa and southern Africa with a unique opportunity and model to address Cuba’s unresolved duality for South Africans and contribute to the development of an improved engagement and understanding of a complex relationship of significance to Cuba, South Africa and other African nations.

Bolivia es uno de los países más vulnerables al cambio climático por sus condiciones físicas y nivel de desarrollo. Inserto en los esfuerzos mundiales de mitigación de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, el país define medidas a través de las NDCs. En este estudio se estiman los costos y beneficios económicos que estas medidas generan, y se observa que aquéllas enfocadas en los sectores energía y forestal podrían generar un crecimiento adicional del 2.7% en el PIB proyectado al año 2050. Esto representa un valor presente de US$ 15,500 millones adicionales y la generación de empleo neto. El costo de implementación de las medidas representaría el 30% del PIB a valor presente, y su financiamiento dependería de fuentes internas y externas. Finalmente, se proyecta que la postergación de las metas de reducción de deforestación previstas hasta 2030 conllevaría una emisión de más de 830 millones de toneladas adicionales de CO2eq hasta el año 2050, con ganancias marginales en el PIB.

The high selection pressure applied to rice breeding since it was domesticated thousands of years ago has initiated a narrowing its genetic variability. Obtaining new rice varieties therefore becomes a major challenge for breeders and the development of techniques to increase genetic variability has attracted the attention of various research groups. Understanding mutations and their application has paved the way for the interpretation of immersion tolerant rice. Creating variability through mutations has therefore become the most important tool for rice improvement. Gamma-rays were able to create genetic variables for abiotic stress tolerance, such as submergence tolerance as well as plant height, number of tillers, shoot and root weight, total biomass, and panicle length. Among the three parents of BRRI dhan52, Guti swarna and Mamun swarna, the highest average yield plant-1 (46.56 g) was produced by Mamun swarna (cont.) and the lowest (18.16 g) by BRRI dhan52. On the other hand, the group of all mutants, Mamun swarna-250 (M3) was more productive (39.30 g) and the maturation was 142.66 days from Guti swarna-300 (M3) (20.20 g) and maturity duration was 151.66 days. The first three principal components studied, including the Eigen value, explained 80.4% of the total variation in 11 rice genotypes for 9 quantitative traits. The gene diversity value of allele across 11 genotypes was 0.469. The value of polymorphism information content (PIC) was 0.359 (SC34 / RM23679) and the allele frequency (%) was 62. However, this assessment may be effective in developing reliable mutants for significant submergence stresses in rice.

Published: July 2022

Improvement of water productivity from irrigated tomatoes while maintaining yield and soil health is a global challenge. This study aimed to examine the effect of varying water quality and water stress (deficit irrigation) scenario on different soil parameters of tomatoes in a greenhouse setting to establish an optimum soil-water-plant environment for sustainable production. The study was completed by simulating tomato growing conditions in the Northern Adelaide Plains of South Australia in two consecutive years (2017-2018 and 2018-2019). Three water sources selected as varying water quality were: groundwater, recycled wastewater and mixed of both. Water was applied via drip irrigation system in four irrigation scenarios maintaining irrigation frequency of two days. The results showed that irrigation with recycled wastewater had the highest residual nutrients accumulated in soil after completion of a crop growth season. The study also indicated that the residual soil macronutrients in the 80% FC treatment were not significantly different to that of the 100% FC regardless of water quality. The results thus suggested that a considerable amount of water and fertilizer can be saved through application of DI technique - especially at 80% FC level without having a significant difference of soil macronutrient compared to full irrigation. This study also found that salt accumulation in the effective root-zone was affected by both water quality and irrigation scenarios and was highest in the case of recycled wastewater.

Published: July 2022

The subject of improving livelihood security for the people of the North-Eastern part of Nigeria is an issue of important need, as it is indispensable for the maintenance of human life. This research focuses on the empirical assessment of farmers’ livelihood security in the north-eastern region of Nigeria. The objectives of the study were to identify the socio-economic characteristics of the farmers and to assess the livelihood security status among the farmers in the study area. Data were collected from 435 randomly selected farmers in three states of the North-Eastern region with the aid of structured questionnaires. Data analyses were carried out using descriptive statistics involving the use of frequency distribution, percentages, mean and standard deviation, and inferential statistics involving the use of livelihood security index. The results revealed that male farmers constituted the majority (73.17%) of the respondents married with a mean age of 41 years. The respondents were mostly small-scale farmers, and they cultivated an average of 3.5 hectares of farmland. The results of the Livelihood Security index revealed the score value of 0.31 for economic security, food security 0.17, health security 0.33, habitat security 0.49, education security 0.33 and social security scored the highest with 0.77. The overall Household Security Index of the farmers scored a value of 0.40 indicating a low position of livelihood security status of the farmers in the study area. The study recommends the need to focus on growth development programs in which the majority of the poor can earn income and will certainly have a greater impact on reducing poverty, consequently leading to improved livelihood security.

Synthetic insecticides have been the main tool used for the control of cowpea bruchid in storage, but the indiscriminate use of the insecticides with their negative effect on man and the environment has been a serious problem to their use. Hence, the practice shifts to the use of alternative eco-friendly relatively cost effective control measures. Laboratory experiments were conducted under ambient conditions of temperature 32-35o c and 55-65% relative humidity to determine the bioactivity of Jatropha (Jatropha curcus L.) leaf powder on C. maculatus (F) infestation on stored cowpea grains (Janwake, Danmalaysia and Iron beans). Ten grams of cowpea grains was weighed into a 200 ml bottle in three replicates for untreated and 3 levels of treatment with Jatropha leaf powder (1.0 g, 2.0 g, and 3.0 g respectively). Grain treatments with these dosages were afterward carried out before infestation with three pairs males and females of adult C. maculatus. Number of eggs laid and adults emerged were counted and recorded throughout the first filial generation. Experiments were arranged in completely randomized designed (CRD). Data obtained were computed and subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA). Significantly different means were determined using least significant difference (LSD) at 5% level of probability. Results showed no significant differences in all the parameters tested for treated and untreated grains. This indicated that Jatropha leaf powder treatment was ineffective in suppressing infestation, and damage caused by the cowpea bruchid. This may partly be due to difference in the dose used for Jatropha leaf powder and aging of bionimbecidine botanical powder. Similarly, varietal differences did not appear to have had effect on the level of infestation by C. maculatus.

Published: July 2022

This study aims to evaluate the daily milk yield of WAD goat in southern of Benin and to estimate the effect of parity, litter size and postpartum weight on the milk yield. Twenty-four goats in an advanced state of pregnancy were grouped together and taken to the station. Their milk yield was measured every ten (10) days up to 90 days postpartum by the technique of double weighing before and after suckling the kids combined with milking under oxytocin. The Generalized Linear Models (Proc GLM) procedure of SAS (Statistical Analysis System, 9.2) was applied to the data, with fixed effects consisting of litter size, lactation number and postpartum weight of the doe. The results indicate the initial yield obtained on D5 is 285.03±12.51 g. The average daily peak milk yield is 443.23±51.17g and the average peak day is 14.67±0.93. The average daily milk yields are respectively 348.35±31.17g/d, 298.82±25.40g/d, 247.68±21.09 g/d, 215.36±18.10 g/d, 127.99±10.91 g/d for the periods D5 to D30, D5 to D60, D5 to D90, D30 to D60 and D60 to D90. Only litter size has a significant effect on milk production, which however increases with litter size, postpartum weight and parity (up to parity 4). The milk yield of the WAD goat will be improved by taking into account these influencing factors.

Published: July 2022

The increasing demand for freshwater has been on the increase as a result of geometric population growth, erratic climate change and urbanization has necessitated more attention and reliance on groundwater resources most especially in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. This necessitates the urgent need for judicious management of available groundwater resources to meet the freshwater requirements in the studied area. Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) techniques were used to map out the groundwater recharge potential of the studied area. Google Earth and Land Satellite (LANDSAT) 7 sensor of Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), path 191 and row 55 were used to acquire the satellite imageries of Ado-Ekiti. Using high resolution imageries, a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was developed with Surfer 8 and ArcGIS 10.0 softwares to identify areas with high, medium and low groundwater recharge zones in the studied area. The elevation, slope, land use/ land cover, drainage density, lineament density, lithology, flow direction, flow length and flow accumulation maps of the study area were generated by using the DEM. The groundwater recharge potential was obtained by overlaying all the thematic maps that affected the groundwater distribution. Each thematic map was weighted according to its effect on groundwater infiltration. The results showed that areas with high lineament density, long flow length, high flow accumulation, high drainage pattern, low slope (lowland region) and vegetation have high groundwater recharge potential, and areas with medium lineament density, flow length, flow accumulation, drainage density, slope and sparse vegetation, respectively have moderate groundwater recharge potential while areas with low lineament density, short flow length, low flow accumulation, low drainage density, high slope (highland region) and sparse vegetation have low groundwater recharge potential. Better information on groundwater recharge potential of the studied area was provided via easily read and accessible maps generated from remotely sensed data and ArcGIS 10.0 software. The results also revealed that geology survey should be carried out to validate the results.
Online resources for the syntactic-semantic classification of verbs
Authors: Amaral Luana Lopes
Published: July 2022

Verb classes are defined in lexical-semantics literature as syntactically coherent groups of verbs that also share meaning components. Thus, the investigation of verb classes leads to important insights into the syntax-semantics interface. In this perspective, starting from Levin’s (1993) foundational work for English, many authors have developed analyses for the syntactic-semantic classification of verbs in different languages. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of such studies, focusing on those that constitute online open access resources for the syntactic-semantic classification of verbs: VerbNet for English, BVI for Basque, AnCoraVerb for Spanish and Catalan, VerboWeb for Brazilian Portuguese, CROVALLEX for Croatian, and VALLEX for Czech. Thus, this paper reviews the general theoretical assumptions on verb classification shared by all the works presented, and shows the specific characteristics of each one, considering the body of data, the specific theoretical perspective, analyses and methodology, and the search engines they provide. Finally, it offers a comparative analysis of two specific verb classes (namely, image creation verbs and verbs of creation and transformation), drawing on data from the studies mentioned above. Although these resources assume a specific lexical-semantic approach for verb classification, they provide valuable data and analyses that can be useful for research in different theoretical perspectives.

Synthetic pesticides are well-known not just for their efficiency in pest control, but also for their adverse effects on humans, ecology, and living biome's ecological relationships. Biopesticides are biodegradable, environment-friendly, and non-destructive insecticides that are safe for creatures. They leave no harmful residues in food or feed. Botanical, microbiological, and biochemical biopesticides are the three types of biopesticides. 3,000 tons of biopesticides are produced every year, accounting for around 2.5% of the overall pesticide market. Biopesticides are currently accessible in a variety of forms, including dust, granules, powders, emulsions, suspension concentrates, and so on. The Central Insecticide Board and Registration Committee (CIBRC) in India requires data on chemistry, bioefficacy, toxicity, packaging, and labeling to register biopesticides. Although India has registered 970 biopesticide products, lesser effectiveness, shorter shelf-life, lack of knowledge, and lengthy registration process remain hurdles. New and improved formulation methods might improve biopesticide efficacies, self-lives, and climate resiliency while lowering prices and making them economically competitive with synthetic chemicals. The main types of biopesticides, their benefits and downsides, worldwide and Indian market scenarios, formulations, registration procedures, and current advancements for users and environment-friendly applications and sustainable agriculture are all covered in this review article.
Total Dissolved Solids and Their Removal Techniques
Authors: Pushpalatha N. , Sreeja V. , Karthik R. , Saravanan G.
Published: July 2022

Total dissolved solids (TDS) due to both geogenic and anthropogenic contaminations, is one of the preliminary as well as essential parameters among others to describe water quality. It includes organic and inorganic components, heavy metals, salts, other dissolved substances, and others due to indiscriminate disposal of untreated domestic and industrial effluents, urban and/or agricultural runoff which exists in the form of micro or nano level in nature. Higher TDS levels in water severely impact health and the environment. For instance, it causes gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, genotoxic, respiratory, skin, and hepatic effects in humans. High TDS level (> 500 ppm) results in excessive scaling in household appliances (e.g., pipes, heaters, and boilers) thereby reducing their efficiency. Therefore, the removal of TDS from various water matrices is taking paramount importance to minimize its impact on health and the environment. Various TDS removal technologies based on the membrane, ion, and temperature gradient are employed to treat water. In this review paper, several TDS removal technologies for instance reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, distillation, ultrafiltration, forward osmosis, precipitation, desalination, ion exchange, electrochemical techniques, electrodialysis, electrolysis, electrocoagulation, and adsorption are discussed in detail.

Authors: Hou Xinshan , Zhuang Zhicheng
Published: July 2022

With the acceleration of urbanization, the ecological environment has gradually deteriorated, the supply and demand relationship of ecosystem services has gradually become unbalanced, and human well-being has been seriously threatened. In particular, coal-using cities are facing the dual pressure of the ecological environment and resource depletion due to the concentration of population and resources, and environmental contradictions. Thus, exploring the relationship between the supply and demand of ecosystem services and their evolution help promote scientific ecological management. By using multi-source data from Huainan City in 2010 and 2020 and the ecosystem service supply and demand matrix and ArcGIS quantitative measurement of the supply, the demand and supply of ecosystem services in Huainan City were investigated. The result implies the following. (1) During 2010‒2020, the supply of ecosystem services in Huainan has decreased year by year. In terms of spatial distribution, the ecosystem service supply in Huainan City was high in the south and low in the north, and there is a significant regional differentiation, (2) Between 2010 and 2020, the demand for ecosystem services in Huainan City increased year by year, and its spatial distribution was similar to the distribution of ecosystem service supply. (3) Due to the decline in the supply of ecosystem services between 2010 and 2020, the demand for ecosystem services has increased, which leads to changes in the matching degree of supply and demand of ecosystem services in Huainan City.
