Authors: Benitez Brianna , Paez Claudia , Smith Matthew , Smith Jason A.
Published: November 2020

Species in the Laetiporus sulphureus species complex, also known as “chicken of the woods” mushrooms, are wood-decay fungi that cause brown rot within the heartwood of their tree hosts. The common name “chicken of the woods” is given to some species in this group because they are tasty edible mushrooms. Several Laetiporus species have been harvested to use as food colorants, to dye natural products such as wool, and for human consumption. This new 4-page publication of the UF/IFAS Plant Pathology Department, written by Brianna Benitez, Claudia A. Paez, Matthew E. Smith, and Jason A. Smith, describes these fungi as well as their ecology, management, and potential edibility.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pp358

Domestic innovation activities and economic development in Vietnam
Authors: Nguyễn Minh Hoàng
Published: November 2020

In 1986, it marked the renovation path, changing mechanisms and policies in all aspects, including Vietnam's economy. Since then, Vietnam's economy has grown rapidly with the contribution of the private sector, which was explained through Schumpeter's theory, and innovation was considered as the blood source for the nation's existence and development. The paper aims to explore the relationship between domestic innovation activities and economic development in Vietnam during 1988-2018. Data in the study were collected from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the World Bank (World Bank). This study used the Vector Autoregression Model (VAR) to analyze the relationship between domestic innovation activities and economic development. The research results show that Vietnam's domestic innovation activity is still limited, and has a twoway relationship between domestic innovation activities and economic development in Vietnam. Based on the research results, Vietnam needs to have an appropriate policy for economic development, especially focusing on renovating mechanisms and policies to create conditions for the private sector to strengthen its innovation to develop thereby contributing to Vietnam's economic development.

This study aims to evaluate the role of the servicescape to service quality and customer behavioral intentions in the context of the coffee shops chains service in the Vietnam market. The author uses Structural Equational Modeling (SEM) to test the research model and hypotheses through survey data of 326 customers who have used services at coffee shops in cities in Vietnam. The results show that the concept of servicescape is a separate concept that plays an important antecedent role to service quality and customer behavioral intention, and employees service quality also plays a vital role in order to improve the overall service quality. The results of this study have confirmed the need to manage servicescape and employee service quality at coffeeshops chains which will contribute to enhace overall service quality and forming the intention to return using services of customers. Based on this result, the study has given some implications for managers not only in the coffee shops chains business but also in other service industry. The important contribution of this study is the affirmation of the independent role of servicescape in the coffee shops chain service business in the Vietnam market.
An algorithms to improve the energy resolution of two-step cascade spectrum
Authors: Anh Nguyen Ngoc , Hai Nguyen Xuan , Thắng Hồ Hữu , Hieu Phan Bao Quoc , Minh Truong Van
Published: November 2020

The present paper proposes an algorithm to improve the energy resolution of two-step cascade spectrum. The energy resolution plays an important role in the domain of gamma spectrum analysis. The better the energy resolution is, the better the ability of peak resolving is. The algorithm is constructed based on an analyze of energy resolution of the summation amplitude of coincident pulses spectrometer using the analogue technique. The algorithm proposed has been tested on some two-step cascade spectra of 164Dy nucleus obtained from the (n, ) reaction experiment using the gamma – gamma coincidence spectrometer at Dalat Nuclear Research Institute. Two-step cascade spectra corresponding to the cascade decays from the compound state to final states whose energies are 0, 74, and 242 keV have been evaluated. The results obtained show that the energy resolution of the two-step cascade spectrum has been reduced by 1.05 to 2.04 times within the energy range of 586 to 6830 keV. Our algorithm can therefore be applied to improve the ability of peak deconvolution, the accuracy, and the realibility in analyzing two-step cascade spectra.
ABOUT THE SITUATION WITH THE TEACHING COMPUTER SCIENCE IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES
Authors: Bogdanova D. A.
Published: November 2020

The digital environment of children is not an extra option, but a habitat. When a person does not have a knowledge in coding, he is forced to accept the devices and software provided by the developers. This puts him at a disadvantage: he spends a lot of time in a digital environment, where the rules of conduct have not been developed by himself. Knowledge of coding, according to the formed opinion, will help the user to better "navigate the situation". Digitally literate children will stop judging websites by their attractiveness and range of services only — they will be capable to critically and purposefully build their interaction with the websites. The dynamics of the situation with teaching informatics in schools in the United States of America from 2005 to the present and in Estonia from 2012 to the present has been analyzed in the article. The features of the approach to the formation of educational programs in informatics in schools of different states and the role of external organizations that are not related to the education system have been considered.

Authors: Tkach T. V.
Published: November 2020

The modern world is filled with a variety of data, and their volume is increasing many times every year. On the one hand, Big Data is data that cannot be processed on one computer, it is difficult to structure it. On the other hand, these are special tools, approaches and data processing methods that are used so that a person can get specific and necessary results for their further effective use. Where does big data come from? From the Internet — data from social networks, blogs, media, forums, sites, the Internet of things. From archives and databases — corporate data, transactional business information. From all sorts of instruments and devices — readings from sensors, meters, recorders, for example, data from the meteorological service and cellular operators. Billions of devices are connected to the Internet today. It is expected that within a few years millions of new devices will be connected to the global network, which will generate several tens of millions of terabytes of data every day. Such figures should interest those young people who are looking for their own way in the field of information technology. It is obvious that in the near future, specialists who know how to work with Big Data will be in demand in the labor market. "Machine learning and Big Data" is one of the competencies of WorldSkills Junior (Future Skills). The article presents the experience of preparing for competitions of this kind without going beyond the school subject "Informatics".

Governmental Regulation of Cybersecurity in the EU and Hungary after 2000
Authors: Szádeczky Tamás
Published: November 2020

The term information security evolved to cybersecurity nowadays, which emphasises the interdependence of information assets and the importance of cyber-physical systems. Parallel to this, the need for appropriate management of the EU and government strategies and new public administration tasks also appeared.In the European Union, the first measure concerning this issue was the establishment of the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) in 2004, mostly with consultative tasks. The first official cybersecurity strategy in the EU, called the Open, Safe and Secure Cyberspace, was accepted in 2013. Afterwards, ENISA’s role has been strengthened as well as its range of tasks were broadened. Beside the critical infrastructure protection efforts, the Network Information Security (NIS) directive and related legislation were a giant leap towards a common level of cybersecurity in the community. The formation of an EU Cybersecurity Act and filling NIS with more practical guidance is an ongoing process nowadays.Despite being a post-socialist country, Hungary is in the first line of legislation on cybersecurity in the community. Since 2005 there were several government decrees, from 2009 the first act-level rules on the information security of some governmental services. Based on the National Security Strategy, the National Cybersecurity Strategy was formed in 2013. The same year the first information security act applicable to all government, local government, governmental data processing and critical infrastructure service providers has come into force. The alignment of the National Cybersecurity Strategy to NIS directive happens these days.Thus, the regulation of cybersecurity in the EU and in Hungary are heading in the right direction, but the practical implementation today is far away from the strategic objectives. The community is lagging far behind the United States of America and China, just to mention the most important players in the field.

Authors: Jin Tongyi , Abilgaziyeva Altynay , Lam Tsz Ting
Published: November 2020

This study examines the impact of ownership change on media coverage by investigating the impact of Jeff Bezos's (Amazon's owner) purchase of the Washington Post (WP) in October 2013. We collect all articles that have Amazon mentions published by WP and the New York Times (NYT) for 12 months before and 12 months after the acquisition. Then, we use the difference-in-differences method to compare changes in sentiment, length, and time of publication of the articles reported by WP compared to NYT. From the comparison, we show that Amazon's acquisition has posed a certain extent of influence on the publication time of the articles. Our findings highlight that ownership change limits the media's ability to fulfill its role as a watchdog without interference.
MEDIEVAL EPIGRAPHY OF THE VILLAGE OF KHNOV (XI-XV CENTURIES): NEW DATA
Authors: Zakariyaev Zamir S.
Published: November 2020

The history of studying the rich epigraphic heritage of the ancient Dagestani village of Khnov dates back more than half a century. The vast majority of epigraphic monuments of the village are written in Arabic. Our work on the continuous study of khnovo inscriptions has led to the identification of many previously unknown monuments. The purpose of the article is to present the results of the author's study of medieval inscriptions of the XI–XV centuries. They cover different genres of epigraphy: construction, religious and edifying texts, inscriptions-epitaphs. Previously unknown Kufic inscriptions Dating from palaeographic features within the XI–XII centuries have been identified and introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. With good reason they can be considered the most ancient monuments of Kufic script from Knova. A newly discovered inscription of the XIV–XV centuries testifies to the early existence of the minaret in Hnova.

In addition, we offer a new reading, interpretation or alternative Dating of a number of already known science khnovo inscriptions of the XII–XV centuries. These include the famous inscription from 1401 on the construction of the minaret, Kufic inscriptions of the epigraphic frieze of the mosque of the Western quarter, epitaphs of tombstones of the XIV–XV centuries. It was found that the writing style of Kufic frieze inscriptions differs from each other, which can indicate both the different nature of their creation, and the work of different carvers-calligraphers.
AN EPISODE FROM THE BIOGRAPHY OF THE SUFI SHEIKH MAJD AD-DIN AL-BAGHDADI AND THE KHWAREZMIAN RULER TERKEN-HATUN
Authors: Timokhin Dmitry
Published: November 2020

Sheikh Majd ad-Din al-Baghdadi was a prominent figure of the Kubrawiya Sufi order, and possessed not only religious authority, but also certain political influence. Amidst the rapid strengthening of Khwarezm, which by the beginning of the 13th century becomes the largest political formation in the Islamic East, Majd ad-Din al-Baghdadi gets close to Terken-Khatun, the mother of the Khwarezmshah ‘Ala’ al-Din Muhammad. Given the struggle between the court groups that unfolded in Khwarezm on the eve of the Mongol invasion, the alliance between the Sufi sheikh and Terken-Khatun was regarded a threat. As a result, the ruler of Khwarezm accused Majd ad-Din al-Baghdadi of romantic relations with the mother of Khwarezmshah, and ordered the sheikh to be executed. The contemporaries of this event considered the Mongol invasion and the fall of Khwarezm as retribution of ‘Ala’ ad-Din Muhammad for this act. The present paper does not aim to analyze the entire biography of Majd ad-Din al-Baghdadi, but pays special attention to the circumstances of his death and its description in medieval Arab-Persian historical sources. It is worth noting that a detailed account of it is mentioned in an anonymous Persian work of the 14th century, which has not yet been published fully, but only in separate fragments of its original text. In this paper we attempt not only to analyze the account of an anonymous author, but also to compare it with the information from other Arabic-Persian historical works. The existing views on this issue in the framework of Russian and foreign historiography, both in relation to the anonymous Persian historical work of the 14th century, and the information contained in it regarding the biography of the Sufi sheikh Majd ad-Din al-Baghdadi are also taken into account. The article may attract attention of our colleagues to this written monument, which undoubtedly needs to be published fully.
POWER AND DAGESTANI SOCIETY IN THE YEARS
WORLD WAR I: EVERYDAY PRACTICES
Authors: Dalgat Elmira M. , Abdulaeva Madina I. , Ayagan Burkutbay G.
Published: November 2020

The article deals with the little-studied problems of relations and interaction between the regional authorities and Dagestani society against the background of the events of the First world war, which made its severe adjustments to the daily life of society.
The relevance of the topic is not in doubt in connection with the realities of today, when the crisis of power and society in a number of countries led to the so-called "color revolutions". Historical experience of social disasters allows us to model and predict the future. An interdisciplinary approach to the study of social, political, and economic aspects of the worldview of various segments of the population, their psychological perception of war and their attitude to power allowed us to show the real historical reality. The rejection of the ideology that considered the First world war solely as a forerunner of the revolution, the involvement of memoir literature, the work of foreign researchers, the identification and display of the personal factor made the main focus of research in favor of social anthropology.The daily life of the population of the Dagestan region, as one of the outskirts of tsarist Russia during the First world war, carried General Imperial features, but at the same time had its own specifics. The laws of wartime left an imprint on the daily life of the population of all Russia. However, the available material shows that the crisis phenomena that covered the frontline territory with the beginning of the war in the Dagestan region appeared only by 1916. In the first two years, the regional authorities managed to contain the prices of food and basic necessities. The analysis of the ratio of regional and national history revealed other distinctive features of daily life of Dagestani society, caused by the lack of universal military service for mountaineers, the remoteness of the region from the front line, the presence of a strong traditionalist core that prevents the marginalization of society.

A huge role in the dissemination of Muslim religious knowledge was played by the mosque schools раса madras and hujra (hIuzhra- (الهجرة. However, in the pre-revolutionary era, in many rural societies of the former Zakatala district, as in many regions of the North-Eastern Caucasus), there were special premises  abodes of tarikat brotherhoods, which also called "hujras" (. (الهجرة These premises were not educational institutions in the classical sense. Such premises could be houses built at the expense of villagers, patrons of the arts or at the expense of a separate clan (tukhum), bearing the names of this tukhum This could be the house of a mullah or a religious figure, kindly given for religious needs or for holding various religious events, including Tariq rituals. In the article offered to the readers' attention, on the basis of field material, an attempt is made to study the construction of khujras, both mosque schools and monasteries on the example of lying enunciated Jar municipality of Zagatala region of RA. The author of the article ignored issues related to the Muslim education system, programs, methods and teaching methods, since these issues are the subject of a special study. The article contains information about the construction of hujras, analyzes a number of inscriptions found during the collection of field material, gives a polygraphic description of the inscriptions, comments, translation, transliteration. On some hujras, inscriptions were not preserved, or were not applied at all. Of course, in this case, the author resorts to the help of oral folk legends.

NEW STONE RELIEFS FROM KUBACHI – ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS
OF THE 14TH–15TH CENTURIES WITH GRAPHIC SUBJECTS
Authors: Mammaev Misrikhan M.
Published: November 2020

The article introduces new stone reliefs – details of architectural décor of the 14th–15th centuries with a graphic narrative. The reliefs were discovered by the author in the village of Kubachi in different years of the 20th century, and only now gained special attention.The reliefs in question are scattered through various buildings of the old part of the village, mainly in its middle and lower districts.The integrity of the reliefs varies: some remained in a good state, some – in fragments, others – in poor condition.In most cases, it was not possible to photograph them from the desired angle due to their inaccessibility (second or third floors of buildings in very densely built-up areas, etc.).Most of the reliefs date back to the 14–15th centuries. The dating was carried out according to stylistic features, taking into consideration the fact that a huge number of stone reliefs with graphical subjects were made in Kubachi in the said time period. These reliefs are now stored in many domestic and foreign museums and have partially preserved in Kubachi.The description of the reliefs is given in the order of their record by the author at different times and in different districts of the village.
ABOUT THE CRITICAL APPROACH TO THE HISTORICAL SOURCE

This publication is a response to the article by H.E. Hakobyan and Sh.M. Khapizov “A Journey to Armenia, Turkey and Cilicia” by the Bishop Vardan Odznetsi as an important source on the history of the Caucasus of the 18th–19th centuries”.  The information given in the article refers exclusively to ethno-political events in the South Caucasus at the end of the 18th century, which does not allow us to evaluate the work of Odznetsi as “an important source on the history of the Caucasus of the 18th–19th centuries.” The authors consider this source outside the historical geography of the region of the 18th century, when a number of khanates and sultanates existed in the eastern part of the South Caucasus, headed until the beginning of the   19th century Azerbaijani Turkic dynasties, and the territory of historical Armenia was the region of Ottoman Turkey in Anatolia.
Risks of Violation of the Microclimate in Protective Structures (Shelters)
Authors: Oktyabrskiy R. D.
Published: November 2020

The article discusses one of the problems associated with the vulnerability of the population, as well as the personnel of hazardous industries, who are sheltering in protective structures (shelters) in case of emergency threats (emergencies) of a peaceful and military nature. The problem consists in the existing risk of violation of the permissible temperature and humidity parameters of the air in the shelter.

Based on the analysis of the laws of climate and the duration of the period of autonomy of protective structures, methodological approaches to the selection of design parameters of outdoor air for the design of air supply systems of protective structures are substantiated.

To estimate the effectiveness of the selected outdoor air parameters over reduce risk, a criterion is proposed: the probability of not violating the permissible microclimate in the protective structures.

An Analysis of the Impact of Various Sampling Designs on the Headcount Index: A Simulation Study Based on the EU-SILC
Authors: J. Moya Fernández Pablo , Álvarez Encarnación , González Medina Ángela
Published: November 2020

The analysis and the comparison of poverty between regions and countries are important topics in social sciences, which have relevant demands of many national (Cáritas, Intermón Oxfam, Cruz Roja, etc) and international (UN, World Bank, OECD, Eurostat, IMF, etc) agencies and organizations. One of the most common poverty indicators in practice is the headcount index, which analyzes the proportion of individuals considered as poor in a population. In this paper, we first analyze the impact on the headcount index when different sampling designs are considered. Note that this study is based on real data sets taken from different countries of the European Union, and the empirical measures for comparisons are based on different Monte Carlo simulation studies. For instance, we observe that stratified sampling has the best performance in comparison to alternative sampling designs. Post-stratification performs similar to simple random sampling without replacement, and the use of auxiliary information provides similar results to ones derived from stratified sampling. Second, we also analyze the empirical performance of different variance estimators under the commented sampling designs. We conclude that they have a similar empirical performance, and they provide, in general, confidence intervals with desirable coverage rates.
