The Sustainable Imperative—Smart Cities, Technology and Development
Authors: Suartika Gusti Ayu Made , Cuthbert Alexander
Published: October 2020

This paper investigates the relationship between the smart city concept and its applications that are heavily technologically focused. Using principles derived from political economy, it denies the “smart city” approach as an idealist/utopian solution to urban problems and focuses on what the smart city is. We also maintain that the smart city cannot be considered an independent force in urbanization. While the benefits of technology are undeniable, such technologies are frequently applied prior to establishing appropriate social and legal controls. We therefore focus on the sociopolitical dimensions of the debate and do this by compounding the smart city ideology with two other social constructs, namely the concept of “sustainable development” on the one hand and “natural capitalism” on the other. In combination, these three ideologies are mutually dependent. They promote a concentration of private capital and are perpetuated as ideological structures focused on capital accumulation rather than equality and social democracy. Following these trends, much research on smart cities appears to be compromised, and a new ethical approach is required. In conclusion, we suggest that the smart city concept and its implementation must realign itself to this objective if democratic principles founded upon social justice are to be promoted.
Higher Density Environments and the Critical Role of City Streets as Public Open Spaces
Authors: Wen Liang , Kenworthy Jeffrey , Marinova Dora
Published: October 2020

This paper explores the relationship between crowding and streets as public open spaces in high-density urban environments from the perspectives of perceived density and human needs, two antecedents to crowdedness. City streets are the places through which various forms of crowding are perceived and experienced. Hence, they can play a role in easing this sense of crowding if corresponding strategies are put in place. The paper argues that practices, such as traffic calming and self-building, can transform the streets to serve as public open space, which increases spaciousness and eases crowding. It also puts forward tactical urbanism as a strategy for city governance to create the right conditions encouraging flourishing civil society initiatives in a dense primary environment that is invigorating and at the same time has a level of crowding perceived as both comfortable and liveable.
The Effect of Enterprise Architecture Deployment Practices on Organizational Benefits: A Dynamic Capability Perspective
Authors: van de Wetering Rogier , Kurnia Sherah , Kotusev Svyatoslav
Published: October 2020

In recent years, the literature has emphasized theory building in the context of Enterprise Architecture (EA) research. Specifically, scholars tend to focus on EA-based capabilities that organize and deploy organization-specific resources to align strategic objectives with the technology’s particular use. Despite the growth in EA studies, substantial gaps remain in the literature. The most substantial gaps are that the conceptualization of EA-based capabilities still lacks a firm base in theory and that there is limited empirical evidence on how EA-based capabilities drive business transformation and deliver benefits to the firm. Therefore, this study focuses on EA-based capabilities, using the dynamic capabilities view as a theoretical foundation, and develops and tests a new research model that explains how dynamic enterprise architecture capabilities lead to organizational benefits. The research model’s hypotheses are tested using a dataset that contains responses from 299 CIO’s, IT managers, and lead architects. Based on this study’s outcomes, we contend that dynamic enterprise architecture capabilities positively enhance firms’ process innovation and business–IT alignment. These mediating forces are both positively associated with organizational benefits. The firms’ EA resources and specifically EA deployment practices are essential in cultivating dynamic enterprise architecture capabilities. This study advances our understanding of how to efficaciously de-lineate dynamic enterprise architecture capabilities in delivering benefits to the organization.
Applicability of Feng Shui Concepts for Korean Eum-Taek Sites Verified Using Three-Dimensional Digital Mapping and Simulations
Authors: Choe Seung-Ju , Han Seung-Hoon
Published: October 2020

The purpose of this research is to examine whether eum-taek, a feng shui theory for the dead, can be applied to Korean modern architecture. In the first step, common environmental factors that are valued in both feng shui and ecological architecture were derived, and then this research reviewed how properly the traditional site assessment method evaluated them; for example, metaphorized basic concepts of the evaluation theory based on territorial settings can be applied to evaluate common environmental factors. For the second step, this paper reviewed whether the evaluation method for feng shui presented in the previous step was applied equally between yang-taek and eum-taek theories, investigated the differences between them in general, and derived environmental factors to be utilized for evaluation in the field of architecture. As a result, it was found that the major concepts presented in the previous step have been commonly used evaluation criteria, regardless of the categories from traditional theories. The third step was to simulate whether sites selected by each theory actually have similar environmental conditions. The simulation analysis found that all analysis sites were able to obtain a higher sun exposure time than the Korean average; therefore, it was considered that their locations could have environmental advantage, in terms of solar radiation and thermal environment. The simulation results confirm that the target sites have a living environment that would be easy for humans to live in. Finally, the simulation results confirm that the eum-taek site has a living environment that is comfortable for humans to live in. If studies of the site assessment method are carried out considering yang-taek and eum-taek with different evaluation categories, the modern applicability of feng shui may increase.
History and Trends in Ecological Stoichiometry Research from 1992 to 2019: A Scientometric Analysis
Authors: Li Hailiang , C. Crabbe M. James , Chen Haikui
Published: October 2020

Ecological stoichiometry (ES), as an ecological theory, provides a framework for studying various ecological processes, and it has been applied successfully in fields ranging from nutrient dynamics to biogeochemical cycling. Through the application of ES theory, researchers are beginning to understand many diverse ecological topics. The aim of this paper was to identify the main characteristics of ES, especially to clarify the evolution, and potential trends of this field for future ecological studies. We used CiteSpace software to conduct a bibliometric review of ES research publications from 1992 to 2019 extracted from the Web of Science. The results showed that the United States has been a major contributor to this field; approximately half of the top 15 academic institutions contributing to ES research were in the United States. Although the largest number of publications on ES were from China, the impact of these academic papers has thus far been less than that of the papers from other countries. Moreover, none of the top 15 authors or cited authors contributing to publications on ES from 1992 to 2019 were from China. ES research has developed rapidly and has changed from single-discipline ES studies to a multidisciplinary “auxiliary tool” used in different fields. Overall, ES shows great research potential and application value, especially for studies on nutrient cycling, ecosystem sustainability and biogeochemical cycling.

Published: October 2020

This research examines the difference in the level of entrepreneurial orientation among university employees within the European Union compared to university employees in non-EU countries. The EU Member States included in the research are the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Croatia, and the non-EU countries include the Republic of Serbia, the Republic of Montenegro, the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Republic of Northern Macedonia. In the sample of 1474 respondents, the ENTRE-U scale was used to measure the entrepreneurial orientation of universities, and multivariate analysis of MANOVA variance was used for data processing. The ENTRE-U scale has proven applicable not only to developed countries but also developing countries. Moreover, it proved that being a member of the European Union in this part of Eastern Europe does not significantly affect the entrepreneurial orientation of universities.
Rapid Resolution of Non-Effusive Feline Infectious Peritonitis Uveitis with an Oral Adenosine Nucleoside Analogue and Feline Interferon Omega
Authors: Addie Diane , Covell-Ritchie Johanna , Jarrett Oswald , Fosbery Mark
Published: October 2020

This is the first report of a successful treatment of a non-effusive feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) uveitis case using an oral adenosine nucleoside analogue drug and feline interferon omega, and alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) as an indicator of recovery. A 2-year-old male neutered Norwegian Forest Cat presented with uveitis, keratic precipitates, mesenteric lymphadenopathy and weight loss. The cat was hypergammaglobulinaemic and had a non-regenerative anaemia. Feline coronavirus (FCoV) RNA was detected in a mesenteric lymph node fine-needle aspirate by a reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction—non-effusive FIP was diagnosed. Prednisolone acetate eye drops were administered three times daily for 2 weeks. Oral adenosine nucleoside analogue (Mutian) treatment started. Within 50 days of Mutian treatment, the cat had gained over one kilogram in weight, his globulin level reduced from 77 to 51 g/L and his haematocrit increased from 22 to 35%; his uveitis resolved and his sight improved. Serum AGP level reduced from 3100 to 400 μg/mL (within normal limits). Symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) was above normal at 28 μg/dL, reducing to 14 μg/dL on the cessation of treatment; whether the SDMA increase was due to FIP lesions in the kidney or Mutian is unknown. Mutian treatment stopped and low-dose oral recombinant feline interferon omega begun—the cat’s recovery continued.
Mouse APOBEC3 Restriction of Retroviruses
Authors: Salas-Briceno Karen , Zhao Wenming , Ross Susan R.
Published: October 2020

Apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic peptide 3 (APOBEC3) proteins are critical host proteins that counteract and prevent the replication of retroviruses. Unlike the genome of humans and other species, the mouse genome encodes a single Apobec3 gene, which has undergone positive selection, as reflected by the allelic variants found in different inbred mouse strains. This positive selection was likely due to infection by various mouse retroviruses, which have persisted in their hosts for millions of years. While mouse retroviruses are inhibited by APOBEC3, they nonetheless still remain infectious, likely due to the actions of different viral proteins that counteract this host factor. The study of viruses in their natural hosts provides important insight into their co-evolution.
A Comparative Study of Pathology and Host Immune Response Induced by Very Virulent Infectious Bursal Disease Virus in Experimentally Infected Chickens of Aseel and White Leghorn Breeds

Published: October 2020

Indigenous breeds of young chickens in India are believed to be resistant to the classical strain of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). However, the mechanism underlying this resistance is obscure. Innate immunity is a key factor in defining the clinical course and pathology of microbial infections. The present study is aimed to compare the pathology of very virulent IBDV (vvIBDV) and immunological host response in experimentally infected - vaccinated and unvaccinated indigenous Aseel and commercial White Leghorn chickens. The viral loads and innate immune gene expression profiles of MDA-5, Mx, IFN-α, and IFN-β in different lymphoid organs were analyzed by quantitative PCR. The histopathological scores in Aseel birds were lower than in White Leghorns despite comparable viral loads. The degrees of histopathological lesions were fewer in vaccinated birds than in unvaccinated birds of both breeds. Analysis of innate immune response genes revealed that the cytoplasmic pattern recognition receptor MDA-5 gene was overexpressed mainly in the cecal tonsils of both vaccinated and nonvaccinated White Leghorn chickens. An increase in the expression of the IFN-α gene was seen in the cecal tonsils of Aseels, and an increase in IFN-β gene expression was seen in the thymuses of White Leghorns following vvIBDV challenge both in vaccinated and nonvaccinated birds. In addition, we observed that the Mx gene plays a minimal role, if any, in vvIBDV infection of the breeds under study. It remains interesting and important that although vvIBDV causes disease in indigenous Aseel birds, the faster clearance and reduced pathology of the virus in Aseel birds compared to White Leghorn chicken indicate some unidentified innate immune factors that are limiting IBDV in this breed. Further studies will be required to correlate kinetics of humoral and cellular immune response in relation to the virus load in different organs to illuminate the mechanism of genetic resistance in native breeds of chicken.

Published: October 2020

In 2017-2019, the Coriandrum sativum L. collection supported by the FSBSI “Research Institute of Agriculture of Crimea” was analyzed by a set of characteristics. It includes 164 samples from 30 regions of the world. Collection samples were obtained from the Federal Research Center “N. I. Vavilov All-Russian Institute of Plant Genetic Resources” (VIR). Twenty-six samples, promising for further breeding studies, were selected. These samples stand out from the crowd due to the content of essential oil in fruits (0.90 to 3.62%) and fruit yield (12.0 to 73.9 g per plot). The same indicators in the varieties bred in the FSBSI “Research Institute of Agriculture of Crimea” are 2.99-3.26% and 9.7-33.0 g, respectively.
Trends of Main Indicators of Business Demography
Authors: Somov V. L. , Tolmachev M. N.
Published: October 2020

The article reveals some aspects of one of the latest trends in increasing the analytical capabilities of modern socio-economic statistics - the formation of business demography. The relevance of substantiating the statistical and methodological base for studying the processes of creation, stability and liquidation of economic entities is obvious due to the fact that such demographic characteristics of the life cycle of enterprises are increasingly becoming markers of the quality of the country’s economic development as a whole. The authors consider the main provisions of the methodology for the formation of business demography indicators in accordance with the Eurostat and OECD recommendations. Based on official Rosstat data, the dynamics of the rates of creation (birth rates) and liquidation (death rates) of organizations both in Russia as a whole and in federal districts and types of economic activity has been analyzed. Statistical analysis of business survey data indicates the inconsistency and variability of the business climate, the differentiation between regions and sectors of the economy in terms of business demography, as well as the manifestation of negative trends that have developed, according to the authors, in Russian entrepreneurship in recent three to four years. Thus, following substantive logic of the author’s conclusions: economic and statistical analysis based on a minimum set of indicators, including using methods of comparative interregional analysis, is very useful for making specific management decisions and choosing the priority of their implementation (depending on the characteristics of individual regions and the nature of the activities of economic entities), allowing to overcome a certain stagnation in the private enterprise sector.
Cuarto Intermedio: una comedia negra (e intermedial) sobre los juicios de lesa humanidad
Authors: Blejmar Jordana
Published: October 2020

Este artículo propone una lectura de las ideas de lo “común” y de lo “público” en Cuarto intermedio. Guía práctica para los juicios de lesa humanidad, una conferencia-performática e intermedial ideada y protagonizada por el escritor Félix Bruzzone y la abogada y actriz Mónica Zwaig, y dirigida por el cineasta Juan Schnitman. Cuarto intermedio se estrenó en la Casa Victoria Ocampo en 2018, en el marco de Literatura Expandida, un ciclo organizado por el Fondo Nacional de las Artes que se propuso reflexionar sobre el desplazamiento de la literatura a otros soportes y lenguajes. Cuarto intermedio es parte de un emergente corpus de obras intermediales en Argentina definidas no tanto por la interdisciplina como por su indisciplina, es decir por cierta irreverencia hacia los límites establecidos entre diferentes territorios y áreas de especialización en favor de una nueva forma de hacer y estar juntos. Lejos de cualquier provincialismo disciplinario, pero conservando cierta especificidad de los lenguajes y discursos elegidos, estas obras promueven la idea de contagio entre formatos, conceptos y sujetos provenientes de distintos campos. Cuarto intermedio es así una invitación a crear una “comunidad de memoria” por fuera, o mejor dicho, en los márgenes de la ley, la de los tribunales de Comodoro Py, pero también en los bordes disciplinarios y en sus zonas de contacto que son a su vez sus zonas de exclusión.
BIOLOGICAL INDICATORS OF COCCINELLIDS AS A CRITERION OF QUALITY IN BREEDING OF COCCINELLA SEPTEMPUNCTATA L. (COLEOPTERA: COCCINELLIDAE)
Authors: Баркар В. П. , Маркіна Т. Ю. , Молчанова О. Д.
Published: October 2020

Biological indicators of coccinellids can serve as reliable criteria for quality control of biological material in the industrial production of biological plant protection agents. These indicators are the migratory activity of larvae; their linear sizes; a feeding intensity; average viability; average adult weight; average fertility; the ratio of females; duration of the development from egg to adult. The values of all these indicators for Coccinella septempunctata were determined. The migration activity was determined by means of our own method. To measure this feature, a sheet of white paper with four sectors and seven circles drawn on it was used. This method allows to define the direction and speed of movement for insects depending on the availability of food, location, and light source. The south-north direction does not significantly affect the larvae’s movement. The presence of the victim also does not affect the direction of the larvae’s movement. C. septempunctata larvae showed positive phototaxis. The activity of the larvae that were left without food for a long time was much higher than of the fed ones. The larval viability was studied and measured in the conditions of group maintenance and excess food. The studies were performed for 6 consecutive generations, in which the biological parameters did not differ significantly. When the coccinellids are bred in artificial conditions, the change in the parameters of the vital systems causes physiological and ethological stress in the insects. To obtain high-quality entomologic cultures of lady beetles, it is necessary (in the process of breeding) to control the migratory activity and feeding intensity of larvae. Controlling biological indicators of Coccinellidae in the process of cultivation will allow to obtain high-quality marketable products.
THE COMPLEX OF ARTHROPOD-PESTS OF THE GENUS SORBUS L. PLANTS
Authors: Мельниченко Н. В. , Чепурна Н. П. , Мухіна О. Ю.
Published: October 2020

The article represents research findings as for the species composition identification of the arthropod-pests of the genus Sorbus. The study was conducted in the period from April to October during several years in greenery on the territory of Kyiv and the Kyiv region. Four groups of pests were distinguished: pests of root system (6 species), pests of leaves (18 species), pests of fruits (2 species), pests of sprouts (4 species). Twenty-nine species of arthropods of the hexapods (Insecta) which belong to the 6 numbers of plant groups and 1 species of acariform mites (Acariformes, Arachnida) were found and identified. The most numerous species were arthropod pests, the representatives of the order Coleoptera – 10 species – and Lepidoptera – 8 species. The greatest damage caused by pests at different stages of their biological development was inflicted on the leaf cover of rowan – 60%, and its root system – 20%. Significant damage to rowan plants was caused by pests – polyphagous: Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa L., Psylla mali Schm., Aphis pomi De Green, Rhopalosiphum insertum Wal., Edwardsiana rosae L., Lepidosaphes ulmi L., Operophtera brumata L., Мelolontha melolontha L., Selatosomus aeneus L., Scolytus mali Bech., Phyllobius argentatus L., Agrotis segetum Den.et Schiff., Yponomeuta melinellus L., Simaethis pariana L., Argyresthia conjugella Zell., Pentatrichopus sp. The thorough analysis of damage to various parts of plants was carried out. In most instances, the greatest damage by pests to plants was observed on densely clustered plantations of rowan compared to single and small groups of trees and the presence of plants of the family Rosaceae as an additional forage base. The physiological condition of plants was significantly worsened by the adverse impacts of critical environmental factors. The damage to rowan by pests had a clear mosaic character and depended on various biotic and abiotic environmental factors.
International Trade and Investment Agreements as Barriers to Food Environment Regulation for Public Health Nutrition: A Realist Review
Authors: Garton Kelly , Thow Anne Marie , Swinburn Boyd
Published: October 2020

Background: Achieving healthy food systems will require regulation across the supply chain; however, binding international economic agreements may be constraining policy space for regulatory intervention in a way that limits uptake of ‘best-practice’ nutrition policy. A deeper understanding of the mechanisms through which this occurs, and under which conditions, can inform public health engagement with the economic policy sector. Methods: We conducted a realist review of nutrition, policy and legal literature to identify mechanisms through which international trade and investment agreements (TIAs) constrain policy space for priority food environment regulations to prevent non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Recommended regulations explored include fiscal policies, product bans, nutrition labelling, advertising restrictions, nutrient composition regulations, and procurement policies. The process involved 5 steps: initial conceptual framework development; search for relevant empirical literature; study selection and appraisal; data extraction; analysis and synthesis, and framework revision. Results: Twenty-six studies and 30 institutional records of formal trade/investment disputes or specific trade concerns (STCs) raised were included. We identified 13 cases in which TIA constraints on nutrition policy space could be observed. Significant constraints on nutrition policy space were documented with respect to fiscal policies, product bans, and labelling policies in 4 middle-income country jurisdictions, via 3 different TIAs. In 7 cases, trade-related concerns were raised but policies were ultimately preserved. Two of the included cases were ongoing at the time of analysis. TIAs constrained policy space through 1) TIA rules and principles (non- discrimination, necessity, international standards, transparency, intellectual property rights, expropriation, and fair and equitable treatment), and 2) interaction with policy design (objectives framed, products/services affected, nutrient thresholds chosen, formats, and time given to comment or implement). Contextual factors of importance included: actors/institutions, and political/regulatory context. Conclusion: Available evidence suggests that there are potential TIA contributors to policy inertia on nutrition. Strategic policy design can avoid most substantive constraints. However, process constraints in the name of good regulatory practice (investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS), transparency, regulatory coherence, and harmonisation) pose a more serious threat of reducing government policy space to enact healthy food policies.

Este trabajo busca analizar los estudios sobre la trayectoria de las políticas públicas y las agencias estatales en el interior del país durante el siglo XX. Con ese propósito identifi camos los resultados más interesantes y recurrentes y algunas líneas de trabajo también valiosas, pero menos trabajadas.
impacto del confinamiento en la subjetividad de la época
Authors: Harraca María Florencia
Published: October 2020

Nuestro trabajo tiene por objetivo indagar acerca de los efectos del confinamiento generado por la pandemia Covid-19 en la subjetividad contemporánea e interrogar sobre los desafíos que se imponen hoy a la clínica psicoanalítica. Partimos de la afirmación de Lacan (1953/1979): “Mejor pues que renuncie quien no pueda unir a su horizonte, la subjetividad de su época” (p. 138). Nos proponemos investigar cómo se podría sostener esta máxima, tomando como referencia un horizonte conformado por la consideración de la subjetividad de nuestra época. La pandemia nos ha confinado: eso implica un proceso de ruptura en cierto orden significante de la vida de los sujetos. Sin embargo, gracias a la hipervirtualidad en que estamos inmersos, en parte como consecuencia del confinamiento, se puede caer en la ilusión de que nada se detuvo. Nos hemos acostumbrado a las reuniones virtuales de todo tipo y hasta sesiones de psicoanálisis on-line. Lo cierto es que ya nada será igual. Nos preguntamos: ¿Puede el psicoanálisis, en tiempos de pandemia y confinamiento, no retroceder ante la angustia que causan los fenómenos sintomáticos de este tiempo y brindar una clínica adecuada? ¿Puede estar a la altura de los desafíos que este tiempo nos plantea?
trascendencia empresarial post pandemia “construyamos una compañía que la sociedad quiera que exista”

Published: October 2020

Ya transcurridas, dos décadas del inicio del siglo XXI, nos enfrentamos a una realidad mundial, que moviliza los recursos y los objetivos empresariales a nivel mundial.Los mercados de consumo, se ven afectados por la pandemia declarada por la OMS, Covid 19, que impacta en los puestos de trabajo, en la movilidad de las empresas, en las culturas empresariales, pero mucho más en las personas. Y si cuando empezaba este siglo hablábamos que competir era transcender, hoy podemos afirmar que trascender es tan solo construir confianza en el frente interno y en el frente externo de las empresas. El mundo cambió y sólo se quedará con quien lo interprete, lo comprenda y lo respete. El desafío será formular, implementar y controlar una estrategia que haga que la empresa sea una compañía, que la sociedad quiera que exista.
Historias conectadas: notas para una reconfiguración de Eurasia en la modernidad temprana
Authors: Subrahmanyam Sanjay
Published: October 2020

Se presenta una traducción del seminal artículo de Sanjay Subrahmanyam. En 1997, el historiador del sudeste asiático sintetizaba su propuesta metodológica para el abordaje de los albores de la modernidad y de sus profundas transformaciones culturales. Se trata de las “historias conectadas”, una perspectiva superadora del análisis comparativo y de su tendencia a reproducir recortes geográficos apriorísticos y anclados habitualmente en los marcos del Estado-nación moderno. Las historias conectadas reconocen los puntos de contacto –epicentros históricos– donde se produjeron diálogos e intercambios entre unidades políticas y culturales, cuya influencia reverberó a nivel local, regional y global.
La territorialidad en disputa: La construcción de espacios políticos en un área marginal del imperio español a fines del período colonial
Authors: Cantera Carmen Susana
Published: October 2020

El reformismo borbónico introdujo acciones de resguardo y poblamiento con el fin de “estabilizar” las fronteras. En la zona sur de la intendencia de Córdoba se fundaron fuertes principales y fortines intermedios que acompañaban el curso del río Cuarto y que dieron origen a pueblos que adquirieron la jerarquía de villa real y a las que se dotó de institución capitular. Este trabajo analiza cómo operaban estrategias tradicionales de ejercicio del poder en las comunidades locales que, representadas corporativamente en los cabildos, defendían y sustentaban sus prerrogativas frente a las imposiciones de las autoridades superiores.
De aristócratas revolucionarios a vanguardia de clase. La revisión del peronismo en Tacuara y sus agrupaciones derivadas
Authors: Campos Esteban
Published: October 2020

El propósito de este artículo es estudiar los cambios en la conceptualización del peronismo que experimentaron el Movimiento Nacionalista Tacuara, el Movimiento Nueva Argentina y el Movimiento Nacionalista Revolucionario Tacuara. Asimismo, se investiga la percepción que tenía cada grupo de su papel como vanguardia revolucionaria, y su lugar en el movimiento peronista. Para abordar este problema se analizarán varios periódicos como Tacuara. Vocero de la juventud nacionalista, Ofensiva, Barricada, Tacuara del manchón y Nueva Argentina. El planteo sugiere que la revisión del peronismo por Tacuara obedece tanto a cambios de coyuntura como a tendencias intrínsecas del movimiento nacionalista.
Using Mentimeter to enhance learning and teaching in a large class
Authors: Mohin Ma , Kunzwa Leonine , Patel Sagar
Published: October 2020

Mentimeter is a web-based Clicker, Audience Response System (ARS) or Student Response System (SRS) which allows students to answer digital questions using a mobile device. It has the potential to transform the classroom environment into a more interactive, engaging and inclusive one. In this paper, a brief literature review has been provided which addresses the benefits of using ARS including Mentimeter in a large class. Also, the mechanics behind how the workings of the Mentimeter, its features and applications have been evaluated, in order, to offer the instructors with the insights about using Mentimeter for their own practice. Finally, a case study has been explained where Mentimeter was used for the formative assessment. In the present study, a Mentimeter formative assessment model has been developed which can be implemented as a good practice in Higher Education (HE). A survey on perception of students about using Mentimeter has been assessed; from the results, it is evident that using Mentimeter has a positive impact on students’ attitude and performance, learning environment and technical aspects. These results will be further discussed by linking pedagogical theories and its benefits.
Výskyt pesticídnych látok vo vodnom prostredí a ich odstraňovanie z pitných vôd pomocou pokročilých oxidačných procesov
Authors: Pacholská Tamara , Šmejkalová Pavla
Published: October 2020

Intenzívne používanie pesticídnych látok spôsobilo na mnohých miestach vážne problémy v ekosystéme, najmä čo sa týka vodných zdrojov, kam sa tieto látky dostávajú. Keďže klasickou vodárenskou technológiou nie je možné pesticídy z vody odstraňovať, nachádzajú sa tak tieto látky v nadlimitných koncentráciách v pitných vodách. Preto je nutné navrhnúť technológiu, ktorá bude v ich odstraňovaní účinná. Ako vhodné sa ukazujú pokročilé oxidačné procesy (AOPs) v kombinácii s granulovaným aktívnym uhlím (GAU). Cieľom tohto experimentu bolo porovnať účinok ozonizácie a pokročilých oxidačných procesov, z ktorých sa overovala kombinácia ozónu s UV žiarením (O3 + UV) a ozónu s peroxidom vodíka (O3 + H2O2) s následnou sorpciou na GAU.

Abstract (en)

Intensive use of pesticides has caused serious problems in the ecosystem in many places, especially in terms of the water resources to which pesticides enter. It is not possible to remove pesticides from water using conventional water supply technology, so these substances are found in above-limit concentrations in drinking water. Therefore, it is necessary to design a technology that will be effective in removing them. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in combination with granular activated carbon (GAU) prove to be suitable. The aim of this experiment was to compare the effect of ozonation and advanced oxidation processes, which verified the combination of ozone with UV radiation (O3 + UV) and ozone with hydrogen peroxide (O3 + H2O2) followed by sorption on GAU.

The technogenic transformation of the ecosystem of the southeast part of Luga Bay water area (the second bay of the Baltic Sea) where Ust-Luga commercial seaport situated was determined by longstanding dredging, dumping and other types of anthropogenic impact. The development of phytoplankton as the main primary production former and the base of food reserve for aquatic biological resources was investigated during the monitoring of aquatic biological resources of the Luga Bay which was held due to the seaport construction. The investigation of phytoplankton content and development took part in the main seasons of the ice-free period of 2005–2018 in the water areas of dredging, damping, and adjacent areas. The maximum values of the phytoplankton abundance and biomass were detected in spring. The main part of biomass was formed by diatoms and dinoflagellates. The summer biomass mainly was lower than in spring and the proportion of cyanoprokaryotes (in some years also cryptophytes and green) increased. In autumn the biomass decreasing was continued, cyanoprokaryotes and cryptomonads dominated. The quantitative indicators of phytoplankton development were varied from year to year in all seasons of 2005–2018 but they kept in frames of values which previously observed for the water area of the Luga Bay. The influence of the Gulf of Finland water warming on phytoplankton development was not traced. The certain differences between the quantitative development and composition of the dominant phytoplankton complex on the water areas of dredging, damping, and adjacent areas weren’t observed. The average phytoplankton biomass for the ice-free period in the most part of years corresponds to the mesotrophic state of the Luga Bay water area. There was not a significant impact of dredging and dumping on the phytoplankton of the Luga Bay which indicates the stable state of its ecosystem primary producer and the preservation of the productional resource of the fish food base.

In September 2019, the R/V “Professor Levanidov” carried out comprehensive studies in the Laptev Sea from 140 ° to 110 ° E at depth range of 60–950 m. High positive anomalies of air and surface water temperatures were noted up to + 2 + 3 °C and +1.5 °C respectively with an abnormally low sea ice cover. Cold Arctic and desalinated waters of the river flow dominated in the upper 200 m layer. Atlantic waters were traced in the layer from 180–300 m to the bottom, and their core — at a maximum temperature of + 1.6 + 1.92 °C at 240–280 m. By the time of the survey, the active vegetation of phytoplankton had finished. Oxygen saturation in the almost the entire surface layer was below 100 %. Primary production was limited by mineral nitrogen concentration. Low concentrations of phosphates, nitrates and silicates in the intermediate waters indicated the penetration of Atlantic waters. The average biomass of plankton on the shelf was 239,8 mg/m3, on the slope — 374,2 mg/m3. Copepods and chaetognaths with considerable contribution of hyperiids and euphausiids dominated in plankton by weight. The bulk of zooplankton was large organisms, while small and medium fractions were 22 and 10 %. Brittle star, starfish, and shrimp dominated in trawl benthos. 25 demersal fish species of 14 families were found in bottom trawl catches. Zoarcidae, Liparidae and Gadidae were the most diverse. Polar cod was recorded along the entire route with highest concentrations in Atlantic waters at depths of 217–460 m. Copepods dominated in the diet of Polar cod juveniles, while that of adults was supplemented by large pelagic crustaceans and fish with high level of cannibalism. Greenland halibut was found along the entire continental slope at 270–750 m while the largest catches were in its central and western parts. The increase of halibut number and occurrence was due to the wide distribution of Atlantic waters on the slope. The main component of its diet was Polar cod.

The results of the study of macro- (Ca, Mg) and micro- (Mn, Zn, Cu, Fe) elements content in the pectoral fin tissue of adult sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka from the rivers Bolshaya and Kamchatka as well as from Azabachye Lake (Kamchatka Peninsula) are presented. The significant differences in the contents in samples from the three waterbodies were found. It was ascertained that the largest ash proportion (and the mass fraction of trace elements) in dry matter contained in the tissues of sockeye salmon from Kamchatka River, the smallest in the sample of Azabachye Lake. The Ca content was 98 % of the ash mass in all samples; Mg accounted for slightly less than 2 %. The proportion of the remaining elements varied within 0.1 %, and exactly in this range the differences in the microelement composition between the samples were revealed. In sockeye salmon tissues from the Kamchatka River, the content of heavy metals as well as Ca and Mg was higher than in other samples, and their percentage ratio considerably differed from the others. Obviously, the water bodies studied sufficiently distinguish in hydrochemical indices, and that is the cause of differences in bioaccumulation intensities of trace elements in fish tissues at the freshwater life stage.
Regional features of ice cover in the West Kamchatka fishing subzone with considering яof the thermobaric conditions (according to the satellite data)
Authors: Muktepavel L. S.
Published: October 2020

Aiming to develop the biological resources of the Okhotsk Sea shelf zone, a remote study of regional features of the ice processes dynamics in fishing areas is important. One of the main fishing areas of the Okhotsk Sea is the West Kamchatka subzone — the northeastern sector of the water area to the east of 153°30′ E, bounded from the south by latitude 54° N. Dynamics of seasonal changes in ice cover is inherent in every region of the sea, regardless of the total area of ice. Geophysical processes affect the ice cover through a complicated mediated correlation that includes changes of the atmospheric circulation parameters. Critical, anomalous states of the ice cover in the West Kamchatka fishing subzone and also the cause-effect relations of its formation are revealed during the pollock seasons in 2006–2017. The mechanism of influence of thermobaric conditions, confirming the influence of the Okhotsk tropospheric cyclone (OTC) and the Pacific tropospheric crest on the formation of abnormal ice conditions in the Okhotsk Sea both in general and in certain local areas is presented.
Ricker analysis of dynamics for two populations of walleye pollock in the Japan Sea
Authors: Zuenko Yu. I. , Nuzhdin V. A.
Published: October 2020

Recent changes in reproduction are considered for two populations of walleye pollock which spawn in the Japan Sea at the coasts of Primorye and Hokkaido. Interannual dynamics of reproduction for both populations corresponds to the stock-recruitment dependence described by Ricker curve that determines the maximum recruitment with an optimal value of stock equal to the carrying capacity of the biotope for the species and the lower recruitment if the stock is either lower or higher than this optimal value. However, instability of the Ricker curve parameters is noted, and their recent changes were unfavorable for reproduction of both populations and caused decreasing of their stocks, with sharp decline in the early 1990s. Basing on authors results and cited data, climate change in the Japan Sea region is determined as the reason of this decreasing, in particular weakening of winter monsoon. In spite of a common nature, mechanisms of the climate change influence on two studied populations are completely different: reproduction of the Hokkaido population worsened because of increasing transfer of its eggs and larvae out of the Japan Sea in conditions of the strengthening Tsushima Current, that was explained in the terms of Ricker curve as decreasing of population fecundity, but reproduction of the Primorye population worsened because of unfavorable for pollock reconstructions in the local ecosystem located in the south periphery of the Subarctic zone in conditions of increasing water temperature that was explained in the terms of Ricker curve as shrinkage of carrying capacity for pollock (from approximately 150 .103 t to almost zero level). Note that the carrying capacity did not shrink but slightly extended (to 500 .103 t) for the Hokkaido population located in the north periphery of the Subtropic zone. Features of climate warming influence onto subarctic and subtropic ecosystems are discussed.

Analysis of the long-period changes of the surface thermal characteristics in the Japan Sea, including the ice cover of Peter the Great Bay, was carried on the basis of the regional databases formed from open sources. The relationship of the observed changes with large-scale processes characterized by well-known climatic indices was investigated. It was revealed that surface temperature changes in the Japan Sea, its Northern part and in Peter the Great Bay in winter and summer occur synchronously. In the new century (2001–2017), the growth rate of the sea surface temperature slowed down in comparison with the last 25 years of the 20th century. The most influential in these areas were the large-scale processes, which are characterized by the index of the Siberian anticyclone and the West Pacific index. We also analyzed the sustainability of the statistical relationships between regional thermal characteristics and large-scale climate indices. Special attention was paid to the change in the character of the relationships at different time periods. The pronounced rearrangements of the linkages accompanied by a change in the sign of the correlation coefficients corresponded to the well known climatic regime shifts in most of the cases under study. The most notable restructuring occurred in 1988/89.
