Relación entre la impulsividad, el funcionamiento ejecutivo y el logro académico en estudiantes universitarios
Authors: Vázquez-Moreno Almitra , García-Reyes Quetzalli Guadalupe , Montes-Castro Edgar Eduardo
Published: December 2022

La deserción escolar y la reprobación son un problema importante para las universidades, el estudiantado y la sociedad en general. Existen varios factores que se asocian a estas problemáticas, algunos de tipo social y otros individuales. Entre los factores individuales se han destacado los rasgos de personalidad. La impulsividad es un rasgo estable de la personalidad que se caracteriza por un aumento de conductas de riesgo, una toma de decisiones deficiente y la preferencia de las recompensas inmediatas sobre las demoradas. Estos déficits se han asociado a un desempeño subóptimo del funcionamiento ejecutivo. Al respecto, las funciones ejecutivas son el conjunto de procesos cognitivos, que coordinan la conducta, los pensamientos y las emociones para dirigirlos a objetivos o metas específicos. Actualmente, los déficits en la organización, la autorregulación y la planificación, así como la excesiva procrastinación se hicieron evidentes en los estudiantes universitarios durante la implementación de las clases virtuales debido al COVID-19. El presente trabajo pretende analizar la relación entre la impulsividad, el funcionamiento ejecutivo y variables asociadas al logro académico. 101 estudiantes fueron evaluados mediante los instrumentos UPPS-P y BRIEF-A. Los resultados indican que entre la impulsividad y la disfunción ejecutiva existe una correlación significativa y ambas variables se asocian con la calificación obtenida el semestre inmediato anterior, esto nos indica que los alumnos con mejores habilidades de autorregulación presentan mejores calificaciones. Estos resultados permiten identificar las áreas de oportunidad para intervenciones en el ámbito educativo enfocados a incrementar el logro académico.
Propuesta de un taller para padres de niños preescolares basado en la teoría del desarrollo emocional de Donald W. Winnicott
Authors: Hernández-Miranda Julia Karitze , Guzmán-Díaz Gelacio , Montes-Castro Edgar Eduardo , Cisneros-Herrera Jesús
Published: December 2022

La teoría de Winnicott concede una gran importancia al ambiente del niño, sobre todo en sus primeros años de vida. Los problemas que presentan los niños se asocian a las fallas del ambiente, puesto que cuando éste se adapta a las necesidades del niño, la tendencia natural hacia la integración y la maduración emocional puede seguir su curso sin contratiempos. Así, en casos de niños pequeños, lo más importante es corregir las fallas del ambiente para que los procesos de maduración se pongan en marcha. Por ello, la teoría de Winnicott contiene un enorme potencial para aplicarla en trabajos grupales con los padres. En este trabajo, además de hacer una revisión de la teoría de Winnicott, se propone un taller para padres de familia de seis sesiones.
El Síndrome de Asperger en el manual diagnóstico y estadístico de los trastornos mentales, como una manifestación de prácticas enclasantes
Authors: González-Castillo Mayra K. , Cerón-Martínez A. Ulises , Rocha-Manilla Ramón C.
Published: December 2022

La sociología crítica muestra que el ser humano es un clasificador nato, a partir de las clasificaciones realizadas puede ser clasificado sociológicamente para un análisis científico. En las prácticas sociales institucionalizadas, las clasificaciones tienden a construir la realidad que pretenden describir. En este sentido, los así llamados “trastornos mentales” se encuentran clasificados en diferentes manuales, con criterios diagnósticos que diferencian a un trastorno de otro. Estas clasificaciones se modifican a lo largo del tiempo, como lo ha demostrado la historia de los manuales de clasificación. Un ejemplo de ello es sobre el Síndrome de Asperger, una condición que presenta características como dificultades para la interacción social, patrones de comportamiento estereotipado y sin retraso del desarrollo cognoscitivo. Dentro del Manual Diagnóstico y Estadístico de los Trastornos Mentales (DSM-V), el Síndrome de Asperger, se integra al grupo clasificatorio denominado “Trastorno del Espectro Autista”. Desde la perspectiva teórica de Pierre Bourdieu, el trabajo presenta una reflexión sobre los efectos sociales de este tipo de clasificaciones oficialmente aceptadas en los manuales DSM.

Gravidez na adolescência no Distrito Federal: uma análise de 2000 a 2016
Authors: Federal Companhia de Planejamento do Distrito
Published: December 2022

Este estudo discute aspectos do fenômeno da gravidez na adolescência no Distrito Federal, como o perfil demográfico das jovens grávidas e as características epidemiológicas do nascimento de seus filhos. As análises foram realizadas a partir de dados do Sistema de Informação de Nascidos Vivos (SINASC) e do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM), de 2000 a 2016 e da Pesquisa Distrital por Amostra de Domicílio (PDAD) de 2018. Para este estudo, considerou-se o conceito da Organização Mundial de Saúde da adolescência como a fase entre a infância e a vida adulta, especificamente compreendida entre os 10 e 19 anos. Como repercussões da gravidez, no aspecto biológico, a gravidez na adolescência apresenta maiores riscos ligados à gestação, ao parto e à criança. Este estudo evidencia que no DF a ocorrência de gravidez na adolescência, desde 2008, está abaixo da proporção nacional. O estudo também revela que esse fenômeno se encontra mais evidente entre as meninas de 15 a 19 anos. Entretanto, é possível notar ainda, tanto no DF como no Brasil, a persistência de gravidez de meninas de 10 a 14 anos. Outros destaques que o estudo trouxe foram: i) houve aumento da participação de nascimentos com quantidade de
consultas pré-natal adequada entre mães adolescentes; ii) a ocorrência de partos vaginais entre mães adolescentes é consideravelmente maior que entre as mães adultas; iii) a frequência de nascimentos prematuros e de bebês com baixo peso de mães adolescentes é maior do que entre mães adultas; iv) a taxa de mortalidade neonatal precoce entre nascimentos de mães adolescentes é consideravelmente superior aos nascimentos de mães adultas; e v) as taxas de mortalidade materna entre mães adolescentes são baixas no DF se comparadas ao Brasil. Já em relação ao perfil dessas mães adolescentes no DF, é possível observar que: i) 7,2% das adolescentes de 14 a 19 anos que moravam em regiões
administrativas de média-baixa renda eram mães; esse percentual, nas regiões de alta renda, foi de 1,6%; ii) 81% eram negras; iii) 17% eram casadas ou estavam em união estável regularizada em cartório; iv) 35% eram responsáveis ou companheiras de responsáveis pelo domicílio e 54% moravam na mesma residência que seus parceiros; e v) 69% não estavam no ensino formal e 17% estavam ocupadas no mercado de trabalho. Este estudo ainda apresentou uma série de possíveis ações para enfrentamento da gravidez na adolescência elencadas pela literatura da área.
Grandes Projetos de Transportes no Distrito Federal: Desafios e Óbices
Authors: Federal Companhia de Planejamento do Distrito
Published: December 2022

A rápida evolução do espaço urbano do Distrito Federal, assim como de sua área metropolitana, especialmente as regiões oeste e sul, levaram a realização de vários projetos de transportes voltados para a acessibilidade dos usuários da rede viária das cidades. A mobilidade foi, então, planejada num quadro conceitual baseado em eixos de transportes nos principais corredores de circulação. Essa tendência é, essencialmente, estimulada pela dinâmica demográfica e espacial, com forte polaridade do centro de Brasília nascida pelo desequilíbrio entre os modais de transportes, que se manifestam por um descompasso da oferta, em relação à demanda. O trabalho faz uma análise cognitiva dos projetos e a sua situação atual, permitindo traçar a sucessão de quadros de referências subjacentes no campo da ação de planejamento e gestão. Destacar-se-á, também, o resumo das relações entre a estratégia de implantação, prioridades e verifica-se alguns dos fatores intervenientes.
A abordagem do trabalho passa pelas alternativas de transportes para o Distrito Federal e os seus eixos consolidados de circulação, em função da sua importância nos deslocamentos diários das pessoas.
Desempenho do mercado de trabalho formal do Distrito Federal em 2020
Authors: Federal Companhia de Planejamento do Distrito
Published: December 2022

Em 2020, o setor produtivo do Distrito Federal vivenciou um período de muitas
incertezas e de restrições ao seu funcionamento em função da adoção de medidas para combater a disseminação do novo coronavírus na região. As ações impostas contribuíram para reduzir o ritmo da atividade econômica da capital e, com isso, desaqueceram o mercado de trabalho formal local de forma a diminuir os estímulos a novas contratações e elevar o número de desligamentos. Diante dessa conjuntura, faz-se necessário avaliar de forma mais pormenorizada essa dinâmica a fim de identificar aquelas ocupações com carteira assinada que foram mais afetadas negativamente pela pandemia de Covid-19. Da mesma forma, é importante destacar quais as suas principais características em termos do nível acadêmico e faixa etária dos trabalhadores que as ocupam, bem como a faixa salarial em que se encontram. Outro importante aspecto avaliado é se a crise epidemiológica acarretou em alguma mudança da estrutura dos empregos existentes no Distrito Federal. Com a flexibilização das contenções adotadas, o mercado de trabalho formal começa a reagir e a absorver mais mão de obra. Assim, detectar quais as posições e os setores que estão criando vagas formais de
emprego auxiliam a compreender se a melhora dos indicadores de trabalho se deve à recuperação dos segmentos afetados ou ao crescimento daqueles que não foram sujeitos às limitações de funcionamento que ocorreram ao longo de 2020.1
Para tal, esta nota técnica analisa os dados do Novo Cadastro Geral de Empregados e Desempregados (Novo CAGED), disponibilizados pela Secretaria de trabalho do Ministério da Economia, a fim de acompanhar a dinâmica do mercado de trabalho em 2020 e trazer os indícios de sua trajetória em 2021, abordando os acontecimentos do primeiro trimestre do ano corrente que podem influenciar o seu desempenho.

Authors: Federal Companhia de Planejamento do Distrito
Published: December 2022

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo avaliar se houve redução na circulação de pessoas a partir da frequência de visitas a locais específicos. O foco é justamente identificar o impacto da pandemia nos hábitos da população. Para isso, realizaram-se perguntas sobre dois períodos distintos: o “Antes” e o “Durante” a pandemia. Assim, esse tipo de análise permite detalhar o impacto nos hábitos das pessoas residentes no Distrito Federal, contribuindo para a tomada de decisão e para o fornecimento de informações que fundamentem as políticas públicas no enfrentamento à pandemia. Como será mostrado, é perceptível que os entrevistados reduziram o número de visitações aos ambientes analisados durante a pandemia. Em especial, o setor de “Estabelecimento Comerciais”, que inclui shoppings, comércio e bares e restaurantes, é um dos mais afetados. O setor menos afetado foi o de serviços básicos, que inclui farmácias, mercados e padarias.
The Nemean wells. Water management and sanctuary deposition
Authors:   Colorado College, Kimmey Stephanie
Published: December 2022

The Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea is located within an inland valley and relied upon water for a range of activities. Water management for the sanctuary is evident through the manipulation of the Nemea River, the construction of a large, stone reservoir, and the simple aqueduct from a spring in the hills to the east of the sanctuary. The most visible intervention comprised the twelve wells constructed throughout the sanctuary. Since Nemea had two separate phases of large-scale activity, the wells, as relatively undisturbed deposits, are the best record of the activities occurring at the site. This chapter explores wells that preserve artifacts from the full range of the site’s Greek history (from the end of the 6th to the 3rd centuries BC), documenting the changes to and developments of the activities at Nemea. The scope of this study is to treat the wells as discrete units within their larger sanctuary context to examine their construction, location and use, and eventual abandonment. This approach creates a more nuanced history of the Nemean Sanctuary of Zeus.
The water supply of the Heraion of Samos
Authors:   German Archaeological Institute at Athens, Fuchs Johanna
Published: December 2022

This paper presents the objectives, methods and some preliminary results of the ongoing interdisciplinary research project Water and Cult in the Heraion of Samos of the German Archaeological Institute at Athens and the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences, funded by the German Research Foundation. The focus of the text is a diachronic overview of wells and “cisterns” within the Samian Heraion. At the site 50 wells have been recorded so far. Three different types can be distinguished: shaft wells (including stair and so-called trial wells), groundwater flowing wells (“Grundwasserlauf­brunnen”) and flowing wells (“Laufbrunnen”). Round shaft wells with masonry lining are the most common type. Groundwater flowing wells, with a spatially and chronologically limited distribution, are so far only known from the Heraion. Although up to now only two flowing wells are known, it has to be assumed that there were more, since at least from Hellenistic to Roman times the water supply of the Heraion depended largely on a terracotta pipe system bringing water from farther away to the sanctuary. A closer look at the structures so far often referred to as “cisterns” reveals that they are in fact collecting tanks of wine presses.
Epilogue. The social side of Greek water collection
Authors:   Florida State University, Rogers Dylan K.
Published: December 2022

Collecting water in the ancient Greek world was an inherently social activity in public and private contexts. Using archaeological evidence of water collection, especially wells, cisterns, and fountain-houses, we can piece together numerous elements of the daily lives of the ancient Greeks. The present chapter explores the sociological nature of Greek water collection using the depictions of wells and fountain-houses on vases and the archaeological remains of fountain-houses themselves to understand better social relations in- and outside the domestic sphere, paying close attention to issues surrounding gender in the ancient Greek world. Further, contexts with wells and cisterns, such as brothels and religious sanctuaries, are also explored to shed light on new ways that scholars today can use water infrastructures in these spaces to prompt new questions about life in Greece in the past. By examining Greek water collection points more closely, we can repopulate these spaces and understand how individuals in the past used and interacted with these structures—and others around them—in addition to the impact of collecting water in the daily life of the Greeks.

Authors: Utomo Astika Widy , Annisaa Eva , Antari Arlita Leniseptaria , Armalina Desy
Published: December 2022

In Indonesia, the use of herbal medicine as an alternative medicine is increasing. Herbal remedies are used as complementary medicine and self-medication. Diabetes mellitus requires treatment over the long term. This may contribute to the medication adherence problem. Consequently, many patients seek alternative treatments, such as herbal medications. The purpose of this study was to determine the use and type of herbal medicines among diabetic patients in Indonesia. A cross-sectional study with 190 respondents selected at random from multiple cities in Indonesia. A questionnaire was used to determine the most frequently used herbal medicine, the demographic profile of the patients, the health services, and the level of patient satisfaction with the use of herbal medicines. The participants were predominantly female (62.7%), housewives (39.5%), aged between 40 and 65 (84.5%), high school graduates (74.7%), and had low to moderate incomes (74.7%). The use of herbal medicine was 22%, and the combination of herbal medicine and prescription medication was 6%. Bitter leaves (10%), mangosteen peel (8.9%), insulin leaves (7.9%), mahkota dewa herbs (6.3%), and bitter melon are used as herbal or traditional medicines (4.7%). In terms of satisfaction, 28.7%, 40.9%, and 14.4% of respondents were quite satisfied, satisfied, and very satisfied with the use of herbal medicines, respectively. Herbal remedies are commonly used in alternative diabetes treatments. Bitter leaves are the most frequently used herb, with over half of respondents expressing satisfaction with the benefits of herbal medicine.
La «melodia selvaggia» della Natura
Una metafora di libertà metrica da d’Annunzio ai poeti di primo Novecento
Authors: Massia Federica
Published: December 2022

The article aims at verifying how Gabriele d’Annunzio’s idea of the correspondence between poetry and nature has influenced many Italian poets at the beginning of the 20th century, with particular regard to their choice of the free verse. Following the example of many poems of Alcyone (such as L’Onda or Le stirpi canore), many symbolist and futurist poets (e.g. Lucini, Buzzi, Soffici) employed the comparison with natural elements in order to explain their search for a new rhythm, free from the strictness of traditional forms. Moreover, this study suggests that d’Annunzio may have found inspiration in Walt Whitman for the development of this principle.
Lo studio delle mani del Piacere
Authors: Di Nino Nicola
Published: December 2022

The article studies the recurrent image of the hand in Il piacere, the first d’Annunzio’s work where the theme, appearing in his earlier works, takes on a central role. The essay shows how the author dwells on gestures and on hands because, referring to Leonardo’s theories and to the symbolist poetics of the end of the century, they would be the external manifestation of an individual’s character. The representation of the hand will be constant in d’Annunzio’s prose and poetry, where the chiromancer author relies on hand gestures to better represent the complicated psychological traits of his characters.

Classical Armenian Deixis
Issues of Translation
Authors: Aghababian Hana
Published: December 2022

This paper explores the use of deixis in the Armenian translation of the Greek New Testament, with a focus on the medial deictic forms in the gospel of Matthew. Against the two-way deictic distinction in New Testament Greek with proximal οὗτος and distal ἐκεῖνος, the three-way system in Armenian based on the proximal -s-, medial -d- and distal -n- raises questions of how and why the Armenian medial forms are used. Through comparison with Latin, which also has a three-way system (proximal hic, medial iste, and distal ille), and close analysis of key passages, this paper highlights both the semantic values of the Armenian medial forms and the issues of translation that arise as a result of their employment.
Grammaticalization of the Definite Article in Armenian
Authors: Hodgson Katherine
Published: December 2022

The Classical Armenian definite article system is unusual for Indo-European, but paralleled in prehistoric common Kartvelian. It may represent an intermediate stage in grammaticalization between demonstratives and definite articles. The Kartvelian articles progressed further down the path of grammaticalization, becoming markers of argument status, and eventually being incorporated into the case system. It has been suggested that the modern Armenian definite article has also progressed further than the stage of definiteness marking, becoming a marker of specificity, but in fact, its non-definite uses are better described as associated with nominalisation, and in particular with core argument status, than with specificity.
From Standard Marker to Adaptor: The Case of Vedic iva
Authors: Biagetti Erica
Published: December 2022

In Early Vedic, the particle iva primarily functions as a standard marker of similative constructions; in Middle Vedic, iva retains its function of marking comparison of equality but also behaves as an adaptor, i.e. an approximation marker which flags the semantically loose use of a lexical expression. Informed by cross-linguistic evidence in the domain of approximation, this paper traces iva’s development from standard marker to adaptor within the oldest layer of Vedic literature, represented by the R̥gveda. The analysis is carried out from a grammaticalization perspective, detecting the different steps that led to the emergence of the new function.

The article discusses the complex issues involved in accounting for the birth and historical development of modern languages in Europe, and of their varieties and perceived identities. It offers a review of relevant approaches to this field of language studies and discusses the crucial role played by historical sociolinguistics, in particular when combined with studies in the history of written culture. The author argues in favour of a research approach aimed at reconstructing the ‘linguistic culture’ of communities in time and space, rather than focusing on the history of individual languages. In conclusion, the author illustrates EUROTALES. A Museum Laboratory of the Voices of Europe, a collaborative project aimed at the representation of languages as a dynamic and shared heritage.

Authors: Jangid Yogesh Kumar , Goyal Ashish , Dadhich Manish
Published: December 2022

Modeling and optimization of cutting parameters are one of the most important factors in manufacturing process. The aim of present work is to establish the relation among input factors i.e. spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut and response parameters i.e. cutting time and tool wear rate. The operation is performed on EN-24 alloy steel material. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been performed to find the significant and non-significant parameters. Mathematical model is developed for CT and TWR and optimized using composite desirability (CD) function technique. It was found that the best machining factor is depth of cut whereas spindle speed is the less significant machining parameter. The confirmation experiments have been also performed to validate the results. The given model could be utilized to select the level of drilling parameters.
ASSESSMENT OF CORPORATE MANAGEMENT COMPETENCES
Authors: KRYVORUCHKO O. , KOVALOVA O.
Published: December 2022

Ensuring the success of corporate management, the duration of corporate relations require the formation of appropriate staff competencies and, especially, management. The term competence describes the potential and real ability to solve strategic corporation tasks, the ability to implement knowledge and skills to balance the interests of stakeholders. The model of personnel competencies used in the corporate management will allow solving various tasks in the field of personnel management, advancing the company to achieve strategic goals, ensuring the competitiveness and more.
The article proves that the competency model should include corporate competencies that directly depend on the values of the corporation (organization, enterprise) and are universal for all its employees, as well as the competencies of managers which are necessary to perform responsibilities and to achieve the planned result.
Corporate (key) competencies are general, aimed at forming and maintaining the corporate culture and the implementation of strategic goals of the corporation and are formed due to the influence of managerial, professional and personal competencies. Management competencies include the list required to perform managerial responsibilities. Professional competencies characterize the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for the effective performance of work in a particular position, as well as personal abilities, developmental motives, etc. Personal competencies relate to the individual employee and include high self-organization, high communication data, etc.
The proposed model of corporate management competencies is hierarchical and reflects the contribution of certain types of competencies to general ones (corporate competencies). This provides an opportunity to make informed management decisions regarding recruitment, promotion, further development, motivation.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AS A TARGET FUNCTION OF THE MODERN PARADIGM OF ECONOMIC GROWTH OF A TRANSPORT ENTERPRISE
Authors: KUDRIAVTSEV V.
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this research is to theoretically substantiate the main issues of the modern paradigm of the economic growth of transport enterprises, aimed at the effective adaptation of their economic activities to rapidly changing environmental conditions and the consideration of sustainable development as its objective function. To achieve this aim, a number of modern general scientific methods and techniques of research were used, namely: the abstract-logical method, including the analysis and the synthesis, the induction and deduction; the generalization to review information sources, to clarify the essence of basic concepts and categories, to study the domestic and foreign experience; the system analysis in order to holistically perceive the object of study and a comprehensive analysis of the element relationships within the defined problem as a whole; the problem-oriented method for the scientific substantiation of strategic priorities and their organizational and economic aspect; the graphic method to illustrate the results.
The sustainable economic development of an enterprise is determined by the economic development (influenced by the level of economic growth, qualitative changes in the subsystems of an enterprise) and the economic stability (determined by the economic equilibrium, the economic adaptation and the economic flexibility), which, in turn, is ensured by an amount of investments in innovative products and technologies, as well as the level of enterprise management. The sustainable development of transport enterprises is possible by developing and implementing a strategy of economic innovation development based on ensuring optimal rates of economic growth, at which the algorithm for modeling the level of achievable growth is used for transport enterprises. Theoretical substantiation of the main provisions of the modern paradigm of economic growth of transport enterprises aimed at effective adaptation of their economic activity to rapidly changing environmental conditions and consideration of sustainable development as its objective function. The theoretical conclusions, approaches and recommendations offered in the article can be used for development of a modern paradigm of economic growth of the transport enterprise on the basis of sustainable development.
MARKETING APPROACH TO THE ASSESSMENT OF MOTOR TRANSPORT SERVICE COMPETITIVENESS
Authors: SHYNKARENKO V. , KRYVORUCHKO O. , POPOVA N.
Published: December 2022

This article considers the method of creating a model of the dependence of motor transport service competitiveness on the motivating factors of marketing and their components. This model is suggested to determine the impact of marketing factors on the competitiveness of road transport services and to make management decisions based on it to increase the demand for services in accordance with consumer demands.
Building a model of competitiveness of motor transport services is carried out in four stages:

critical analysis of methods for establishing the existing competitiveness dependencies on various factors;
substantiation of the motivating factors of marketing and their components that affect the competitiveness of motor transport services;
assessment of their influence strength;
calculation of the indicator of competitiveness of motor transport services depending on the different values of motivating factors and their components.

As a result of the first stage, it was found that the impact of marketing incentive factors on the competitiveness of road transport services has not been studied yet.
In the second stage of the study, based on the existing model of consumer buying behavior, the motivating factors of marketing were identified: service, price, distribution methods, process, staff, material environment and various types of their demonstration; they were given a point assessment.
To determine the impact strength of these factors on competitiveness, the method of hierarchy’s analysis was used, the obtained result was a quantitative assessment of each factor impact on the competitiveness of road transport services.
At the last stage, the possibility of using the proposed method to assess the impact of these factors on the competitiveness of road transport services was tested.
It is suggested to use the given methodical approach to estimate the competitiveness of motor transport services for defining the ways of demand increase in services and the meeting of consumer demand in qualitative and competitive services.

Published: December 2022

It is already known that secondary metabolites in plants are affected by many parameters such as biotic and abiotic stress conditions and can vary in quantity. Sorbitol, which is used to increase osmolality in cells, is an important source of abiotic stress. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of sorbitol applications at different doses by foliar spraying on total phenolic, total flavonoid, and antioxidant activity in Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) at different times. Olein variety was used as the material in the study and different sorbitol doses (0.5 g/L, 25 g/L, 50 g/L and 100 g/L) were applied by foliar spraying. Sorbitol doses were applied in three different growth periods (before, during, and after blooming). The total amount of phenolic and flavonoid substances and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of the drugs obtained from all samples were examined after the harvest was completed. Although it was determined that the effect of increasing sorbitol doses applied in different growth periods on the total amount of phenolic and flavonoid substances and on the DPPH free radical scavenging activity was statistically not significant, the interaction of sorbitol doses x different growth periods in the total phenolic substance content was significant. The highest total phenolic content was determined as 133.00 mg GAE/g in the before blooming period of the plant in safflower. The total amount of flavonoid substance was determined as 24.46 mg QE/g in the before blooming period of the highest plant. The highest DPPH free radical scavenging activity was found to be 92.86% in the after blooming period. As a result, when the study outcomes were evaluated according to different development periods in safflower, it is possible to rank the development periods of the total phenolic substance content and total flavonoid substance amounts as before blooming > blooming period > after blooming. We can list the antioxidant activity as after blooming > blooming period > before blooming.

Published: December 2022

This study was aimed to investigate the grain antioxidant activity (DPPH. and ABTS.+ radical scavenging activities and cuprac reducing capacity), contents of total phenolic compounds, flavonoid and total antioxidant capacity of five winter durum wheat cultivars under the foliar application of 0.2% of zinc (ZnSO4.7H2O) at different growth stages of grain filling (milky or dough ripeness). The study was carried out in randomized blocks according to the split plot design with three replications in the cultivars of Ç.1252, Eminbey, Kızıltan-91, Meram-2002 and Selçuklu-97.In the study, it was determined that some of the antioxidant traits (ABTS.+, total flavonoid and zinc content of grain) were not statistically different between foliar zinc application stages of the milky and dough ripeness, but zinc application in one of these stages showed significantly higher values in terms of these traits compared to the untreated of zinc (control). Also, cultivars and zinc×cultivar interaction for DPPH. radical scavenging activity, total phenolic compounds and total flavonoids showed significant variations. Within the frame of these results, it was found that foliar application of zinc at different stages of grain filling in durum wheat had statistically significant effects on some antioxidant traits; however, in subsequent studies, it was advised that it would be more beneficial to expand the study by increasing the dose and the number of growth stages.

Published: December 2022

Businesses regard benchmarking as a systematic method to develop strength and learn from the best. In supply chain management, benchmarking is crucial for evaluating its operations and improvement. This article explores the fast fashion supply chain and argues that it is the best practice across different industries. It identifies critical success factors of a fast fashion supply chain business model and its enablers through a comprehensive analysis. For example, sophisticated information systems enable the short lead times in the fast fashion business model, likewise how performance measures enable fast fashion brands to meet their customer requirements.
Perceived size does not modulate accuracy in a two-dimensional shooting task
Authors: Urale Poutasi W. B. , Schwarzkopf D. Samuel
Published: December 2022

Recent research suggests superior performance with sports movements, such as shooting and golf-putting, for targets surrounded by small shapes (leading to a perceptually larger target), compared to large shapes (perceptually smaller target). One explanation is that these effects are driven by the Ebbinghaus illusion modulating perceived target size. Here we examine this assumption with a digital shooting game where participants aimed a ‘laser gun’ towards a target. We manipulated perceived target size either with a Ebbinghaus-style surround or changing physical target size. Aiming performance was noticeably worse with large Ebbinghaus surround. However, changing physical target size did not affect performance, suggesting these effects were driven by the presence of the surround rather perceived target size per se. Individual illusion magnitude was also uncorrelated with aiming performance. Further experiments demonstrated that interference of target perception by the surround (visual crowding) instead explains altered performance. Our results should motivate reinterpretations of previous studies purporting an effect of perceived size without controlling for the confounding contextual effects.
Ecomindsponge: A novel perspective on human psychology and behaviors in the ecosystem
Authors: Nguyen Minh-Hoang , Le Tam-Tri , Vuong Quan-Hoang
Published: December 2022

Modern society is facing major environmental problems, but there are many difficulties in studying deeper the human-nature relationship from an integral psychosocial perspective. We propose the ecomindsponge theory, based on the mindsponge mechanism of information processing, to provide a more dynamic framework to be used flexibly and practically in environmental social sciences. The core mechanism of ecomindsponge is the subjective sphere of influence, which is the limited mental representation of information received from and processed based on the objective sphere of influence – actual interactions in reality. The subjective sphere is the sum of two sub-spheres: influencing (proactive) and being influenced (reactive). Maladaptation in thinking and behavior of the mind as an information collection-cum-processor results from the deviation of the subjective sphere from reality, which include two main types: “stupidity” and “delusion”. Using Bayesian Mindsponge Framework (BMF) analytics on a dataset of 535 urban residents, we provide statistical evidence about the consistent patterns of the subjective spheres. Ecomindsponge can be a useful tool for building an eco-surplus culture – a more pro-environmental infosphere of society.
Open access journals lack image accessibility considerations in author guidelines
Authors: Stack Whitney Kaitlin , Perrone Julia , Bahlai Christie A.
Published: December 2022

In recent decades, there has been a move to "open" research, that is, to increase the reach of research products to broader audiences. One component of open access is accessibility. Accessibility generally refers to data and other products being free and open to use by others, but accessibility also refers to considering and meeting the needs of people with disabilities for participation and inclusion. Ensuring that visual content is understandable is a major component of ensuring open access publications are accessible, and alt text is a common way to make inaccessible images and non-text content more accessible. Using image accessibility and alt text as a lens, our objective was to evaluate how open access journals incorporate disability accessibility as part of open access publishing. Using a random sample of 300 English language open access journals, we assessed author guidelines to understand image requirements for submissions and open access statements to understand how journals conceive of openness and accessibility. We found that most open access journals do not include disability accessibility elements in their guidelines to authors when submitting images as part of their scholarship. While over half the journals had required parameters for image submission, none of them required alt text. And while the majority of journals included the word 'access' or 'accessibility' in their open access statements, almost none included disability or inclusion related terms. Our results highlight the importance of guidelines. Our findings speak to the limits of some of the current frameworks of open access. Incorporating disability accessibility into open access has the potential to bridge existing information inequalities for people with disabilities - and to make sure that mandates for open research do not exacerbate those inequalities.
