African swine fever (ASF) is the cause of a recent pandemic that is posing a threat to much of the world swine production. The etiological agent, ASF virus (ASFV), infects domestic and wild swine, producing a variety of clinical presentations depending on the virus strain and the genetic background of the pigs infected. No commercial vaccine is currently available, although recombinant live attenuated vaccine candidates have been shown to be efficacious. In addition to determining efficacy, it is paramount to evaluate the safety profile of a live attenuated vaccine. The presence of residual virulence and the possibility of reversion to virulence are two of the concerns that must be evaluated in the development of live attenuated vaccines. Here we evaluate the safety profile of an efficacious live attenuated vaccine candidate, ASFV-G-ΔI177L. Results from safety studies showed that ASFV-G-ΔI177L remains genetically stable and phenotypically attenuated during a five-passage reversion to virulence study in domestic swine. In addition, large-scale experiments to detect virus shedding and transmission confirmed that even under varying conditions, ASFV-G-ΔI177L is a safe live attenuated vaccine.

Published: April 2022

Vaccine-induced active immunity in young animals may be compromised via interference caused by maternally derived antibodies (MDAs). Since the level, titer, and half-life of MDAs vary per individual, it is difficult to determine the appropriate timing of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) vaccination in the field. In order to better understand the age-dependent characteristics of MDA in sows and piglets as well as the phenomenon of reduced vaccine-mediated active immunity due to MDAs, this study sought to determine antibody titers through structural protein (SP) O, A ELISA analyses, and virus-neutralizing (VN) antibody titers as well as their half-lives in the sera of sows and piglets derived from FMD-vaccinated mother. Furthermore, immunoglobulin (Ig) subtypes, such as IgG, IgM, and IgA, in serum were also evaluated. To understand the correlation between the inhibition of vaccine-mediated active immunity by MDA-mediated passive immunity and regulatory T (Treg) cells, Treg-related cytokine levels were explored. Our findings will help to predict the optimal timing of vaccination for overcoming MDAs and inducing a robust vaccine-mediated immune response in young individuals vaccinated against FMD. They also add to our understanding of MDA characteristics and interference, providing insight for the development of innovative strategies and novel FMD vaccine for overcoming such interference.
Numerical Analysis of the Groundwater Flow System and Heat Transport for Sustainable Water Management in a Regional Semi-Arid Basin in Central Mexico
Authors: Ortega Guerrero Marcos Adrián
Published: April 2022

The Independence Basin is located in a semi-arid region of Mexico, delimited predominantly by volcanic mountains. Around 30 m3/s of water are extracted from regional aquifers mainly for agro-export activities, causing declines in the water table of up to 10 m/a, increased temperature and dissolved elements that are harmful to health and the environment. Regional groundwater coupled flow and heat transport under current conditions were studied on a basin-wide scale (7000 km2) using a three-dimensional finite-element model under steady-state conditions to provide support for water management decisions and transient modeling. Isothermal, forced and free thermal convection under existing hydrological conditions prior to pumping are analyzed. The results show that the interaction of topography-driven groundwater flow and buoyancy-driven free thermal convection are consistent with historical hydrological records, the characteristics of the water table, and thermal anomalies observed in the basin. The simulated groundwater recharge is near 7 ± 0.25 m3/s, a balance broken since the 1980s by extensive pumping. The results show the importance of considering the groundwater temperature, its transient response in the evolution of groundwater extraction, and the upward migration of a thermal front through the fractured aquifer that has increased risks for health and sustainability.
Optimized Schemes of “Infiltration”, “Storage”, and “Drainage” Measures against Urban Waterlogging in Plain River Network Regions
Authors: Liu Pei , Wei Qiankun , Lin Zhongyuan , Lv Wenbin
Published: April 2022

Urban waterlogging has risen to be an urgent problem awaiting solutions in China these years, and “infiltration”, “storage”, and “drainage” are considered the major and most direct measures against this problem. In the present work, the waterlogging alleviation mechanism of these three measures is analyzed; and with Huangbian Village in Panyu District of Guangzhou, China, as a study case, one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and pipe network coupling hydrodynamic models were established to explore the optimal schemes of “infiltration”, “storage”, “drainage” measures against urban waterlogging and which measure is the most effective one, providing a reference for scientific prevention and alleviation of urban waterlogging in cities. Effect assessment shows that the “storage” is the most effective measure because reducing the impermeability near the waterlogged site, deploying storage tanks upstream of the waterlogged site, and in the case of submerged discharge, lowering the downstream water level can reduce the waterlogged area by 16%, 81%, and 16%, respectively. The comprehensive measures of “infiltration”, “storage”, and “drainage” reduced the waterlogged area by 87%, which is superior to a single measure. The present work is expected to provide some reference for the prevention and alleviation of urban waterlogging in cities on a plain with intensive river networks.

Published: April 2022

The bacterial community is an essential component of the aquaculture pond ecosystem, which not only improves and restores the aquaculture environment but also maintains a stable ecological equilibrium with the external environment. Here, Illumina 16S rRNA sequencing was conducted to characterize the bacterial community in the ecosystem of sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus culture ponds, as well as their correlation with overall community structures. The alpha-diversities of bacterial community among water, sediment, and the gut of A. japonicus were consistent across culture ponds from different areas. Specifically, the richness and diversity of bacterial communities were the highest in sediment, followed by the gut, and the lowest in water. The dominant bacterial community among multiple media was Proteobacteria, which occupies a large proportion of the bacterial community structure, followed by Bacteroidetes and Verrucomicrobia. Highly similar bacterial community structures were present in multiple media among different areas, which provides evidence for deterministic natural evolution. Meanwhile, there was a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the specific bacterial communities across the multiple media. The specific functions of the multiple media in the ecosystem are the main reason for the formation of different bacterial communities. This work demonstrates that bacterial communities are the result of natural evolution within the ecosystem during adaptation to the required environment.
Patterns and Drivers of Groundwater and Stream Nitrate Concentrations in Intensively Managed Agricultural Catchments
Authors: McAleer Eoin , Coxon Catherine , Mellander Per-Erik , Grant Jim , Richards Karl
Published: April 2022

The environmental loss of nitrogen in agricultural landscapes has pervasive consequences, including human health implications, eutrophication, loss of habitat biodiversity and greenhouse gas emissions. The efficacy of mitigation strategies designed to control or prevent nitrate contamination of waterbodies requires an understanding of catchment scale pressures and processes. Groundwater and stream nitrate concentrations fluctuate over temporal scales ranging from the daily to the decadal. Identifying spatiotemporal trends and dominant drivers of nitrate in water is challenging as the drivers are intertwined. The effects of agronomic, meteorological and hydrogeological drivers on groundwater and stream nitrate were investigated over seven years in two well-drained agricultural catchments, dominated by tillage and grassland farming, respectively. A significant positive temporal trend in nitrate concentration was observed in the tillage catchment, whereas no long-term trend was observed in the grassland catchment. Agronomic, meteorological and hydrogeological factors were significantly related to temporal nitrate changes across both catchments. Clearly identifying the drivers influencing temporal changes in nitrate concentrations is critical to improving water quality. The study highlighted that to reduce groundwater nitrate levels in areas of high risk (thin soils, low clay content and shallow groundwater), nitrogen applications need to be reduced and/or tailored, particularly at times of restricted crop growth.

Published: April 2022

Intimate partner violence is the most common kind of violence and a significant public health issue. The relationship between intimate partner violence and pregnancy termination among Tajikistan women was investigated in this study. The data for this research was collected from the Tajikistan Demographic and Health Survey 2017. This research has used the data of married women aged between 15 to 49 years. The findings from the study indicate that around 23.2% of married women in Tajikistan have experienced physical violence. The respondent’s age, region, and employment status was significantly associated with pregnancy termination (p < 0.05). Similarly, women who can refuse sex with their partner and ask their partner to use a condom are more likely to terminate pregnancy (p < 0.05). The characteristics of the husband or partner that had a significant positive association with pregnancy termination of married women in Tajikistan are age, educational level, and alcohol drinking status of their husbands (p < 0.05). This study also establishes the significant relationship between pregnancy termination and physical or emotional violence experienced by women (p < 0.05). The dynamics of domestic abuse need to be understood by healthcare providers to aid women in making decisions on whether or not to terminate their pregnancy.

Research-Informed Teaching of Adults: A Worthy Alternative to Old Habits and Hearsay?
Authors: Benseman J
Published: April 2022

How and why teachers teach the way they do is central to understanding the impact of education on learners. While many professions have integrated research findings into their practitioners’ practice, education’s record is less consistent in this respect. This paper outlines the case for teachers to become research-informed in their teaching (RIT). It firstly considers what is involved in being research-informed, what types of research are most relevant, why it warrants consideration as well as issues associated with it. It then reviews RIT in the New Zealand context and particularly in relation to teaching adults. Finally, the paper looks at how an RIT approach might be implemented.
Robert Adams’ın İlahi Emir Teorisinin Hz. İbrahim’in Hikayesi Üzerinden Analizi
Authors: ERKAN BALCI Elif Nur
Published: April 2022

İlahi emir etiği felsefi bir tartışma olarak Sokrates’in ortaya attığı din ve ahlak ilişkisinin sebep olduğu bir ikilemle baş etmek zorundadır. Bu ikilem, iyi ya da ahlaki olanın, Tanrı’nın emirleriyle mi yoksa ahlakın insan aklına içkin olan değer yargılarıyla mı belirleneceği şeklindedir. Dini gelenekler içinde böyle ikilemlerin en çarpıcı örneği, Hz. İbrahim’in oğlunu kurban etmesini buyuran ilahi emirdir. Buna göre, Hz. İbrahim ya oğlunu öldürüp katil olarak ahlaken yanlış bir eylemde bulunacak ya da Tanrı’nın emrine karşı çıkarak dini anlamda günahkar olacaktır. Rasyonel bir ahlak teolojisinin felsefi imkanına inanan teist ahlak filozofları için bu örnek oldukça zorlayıcıdır. Burada çağdaş ahlak filozofu Robert M. Adams’ın “düzeltilmiş ilahi emir teorisi” söz konusu ikileme insanın ve Tanrı’nın ahlaki rasyonalitelerine yönelik başvuru ve düzeltmeleriyle bir çıkış sunmaya çalışır. Bu çalışma, Adams’ın çözümünün analizini, başarısını ve sonuçlarını ele almaktadır.

PENERAPAN APLIKASI SIMULASI VENDING MACHINE MENGGUNAKAN KONSEP FINITE STATE AUTOMATA UNTUK BARANG INVENTARIS SEKOLAH
Authors: Tirtawati Wuri
Published: April 2022

Di setiap sekolah menengah, biasanya sulit dalam pendataan peminjaman barang inventaris. Siswa biasanya meminjam barang inventaris tanpa seizin guru atau staf sarana dan prasarana, melainkan langsung mengambil dari ruang barang inventaris. Dalam mengumpulkan data peminjam barang inventaris bisa jadi sulit terdata dan bermasalah. Hal ini dikarenakan siswa biasanya tidak mengembalikannya ke ruang barang inventaris saat meminjam, dan tidak mengisi data peminjam yang nantinya mereka gunakan. Sehingga saat dibutuhkan, barang inventaris hilang atau tidak berada pada tempatnya. Hal ini menjadi masalah karena menyulitkan siswa lain untuk menggunakan barang inventaris tersebut. Ada beberapa barang inventaris yang biasanya sering digunakan seperti: laptop, proyektor, kabel rol, mic dan toa speaker, peralatan olahraga dan peralatan kesenian. Oleh karena itu, dalam penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan konsep Finite State Automata (FSA) sebuah Vending Machine (VM) pada penyedian barang inventaris sekolah yang memanfaatkan scan barcode pada aplikasi sebagai alat transaksi utama, dengan cara ini pengumpulan data pinjaman akan dicatat oleh sistem dan dapat digunakan untuk tinjauan dan referensi untuk pengembangan aplikasi serupa lainnya.

The purpose of this research is to know the legal aid effort given by LBH APIK to victims of sexual violence and obstacles faced by LBH APIK in providing legal assistance to women victims of sexual violence. This research is a field research, the data collected by the method of interview to the parties related to the research topic. In addition, the authors also conduct literature research through related data and books related to research topics. Furthermore, the data are analyzed qualitatively and presented descriptively. The results showed that: 1) Legal standing of Legal Assistance Association of Indonesian Women Association for Justice as known as LBH APIK in providing legal assistance to women victims of violence is based on Law Number 16 in Year 2011 about Legal Assistance, Law Number 18 in Year 2003 concerning Advocates and Standard Operating Procedures as known as SOP. The role in providing legal assistance to women as victims is litigation and non-litigation. Litigation is a process of assistance from the beginning of handling cases to verdicts in court, non-litigation is a process outside the court that is until the mediation step. In addition, LBH APIK performs other legal reinforcements such as legal counseling and legal seminars conducted in the region of Makassar. 2) The Obstacles faced by LBH APIK in handling the case is the victim who is reluctant to tell his case as well as the police who assume that if there is sexual violence in women it is on the basis of mutual desire factor not because of coercion factor.
INVOLVEMENT OF TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION IN SPORTS
Authors: Zefi Gjulio , Andersons Aigars , Bushati Jozef
Published: April 2022

INTRODUCTION

The complexity of the tools used in sports requires constant technological change and improvement. In this paper we will highlight how technological innovations have influenced the development of sports.

Is it true that technology has intervened in improving results in all sports?

Many authors (Tidd et al., 1997; Tidd and Bessant, 2009; Hakansson and Snehota, 1995) have attempted to highlight the complex relationships between the innovation process and the incentives that lead to various sport-related inventions.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

In this paper we will use the method of analysis and description to show how technological innovation has influenced the development of sport. The complexity of the tools used in sports constantly requires technological changes and improvements. For example, gymnastics equipment, athletic vaulting poles, tennis rackets, bikes, roller skates and ice skates, etc. are constantly undergoing technological evolution.

We will analyse how innovations such as: the use of rubber suits in swimming (2008), the increase in cycling speed by the invention of the mechanism that regulates the ratio of wheel speed (1935) or the use of light rubber and very resilient marathon running shoes (2013) have improved results, helping to achieve times at the maximum limits of human ability.

RESULTS

Comparing the results drawn from the analysis of scientific works of different authors gives us the opportunity to reach conclusions, which open new avenues of perspective in the sports sector in terms of the design and implementation of technology. The inclusion of technology in sports gives human society greater opportunities to reap its benefits for a more active life.

DISCUSSION

Data provided by various authors show that: the use of rubber suits in swimming (2008), increasing the speed in cycling by inventing the mechanism that regulates the ratio of wheel speed (1935) or the use of rubber lightweight and very resilient marathon running shoes (2013) have improved results, helping to achieve times at the maximum limits of human ability.

In order for innovation to have the greatest impact on sports, cooperation and exchange of experiences is required between sports companies and large manufacturers of sports equipment in improving the technical aspects of the equipment they produce.

CONCLUSIONS

The involvement of innovation and technology at different levels have has unquestionably influenced the discovery of high-tech materials as well as the modification and improvement of various techniques. Consequently, these inclusions have made sports performance achieve unimaginable results, pushing the limits of human ability.
THE BLUE FLAG PROGRAMME AND DESTINATION IMAGE: A STUDY ON EDEN BEACH, PUDUCHERRY, INDIA
Authors: V Sivakami , Raghu Ankathi , P Raja
Published: April 2022

INTRODUCTION

Beach tourism offers enormous economic benefits to local communities and also causes many environmental and social impacts on the coastal environment. Many people choose to take a holiday at a beach destination because they want to relax, escape and participate in beachfront recreation (Lucrezi and Vander Walt, 2016). India, with a coastline of 7516.6 km (Centre for coastal zone management and coastal shelter belt, 2017), has a wide variety of beaches on its shoreline that offer recreational activities to tourists. Foundation for Environment Education in Denmark (FEE) has awarded Blue Flag Certification to two new beaches in the year of 2021, namely Kovalam in Tamil Nadu and Eden beach in Puducherry, India. A Blue Flag beach is an eco-tourism model that aims to offer tourists clean and sanitary bathing water, facilities/amenities, and a safe and healthy environment while providing sustainable development to the local community. Around the globe, only 47 countries have achieved this blue flag certification for its beaches.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The researchers have studied the destination image of Puducherry as a beach tourism destination, with special reference to Eden beach, Puducherry. With the support of literature studies, the assumption that a positive destination image also promotes the intention of tourists to revisit, thus bringing sustainable development to the destination, is justified.

RESULTS

The results are theoretical. The study is based on Eden beach, Puducherry. The results show that the destination image encourages the intention of tourists to revisit and loyalty to the destination. This research is significant for the future as it helps to propagate India’s image as a clean and green beach tourism destination, thus creating a positive destination image among domestic and international travellers.

DISCUSSION

On achieving this Blue flag certification, the destination image of Pondicherry as a beach destination, a union territory in India, creates loyalty to destination that encourages the intention to revisit the destination among tourists that ultimately benefits the stake holders of the destination and helps in achieving sustainable development.

CONCLUSIONS

The connection between the destination image, destination loyalty and intention to revisit is clear and proven in many other research findings. Therefore, future researchers can also focus on other beaches in India with Blue flag certification and their role in promoting tourism in that region, as well as the image of a tourist destination and the tourist's perception of a tourist destination on other blue flag beaches of India.
BUSINESS INCUBATION SCENE IN THE PANDEMIC THROUGH AN OPEN INNOVATION APPROACH – LATVIA CASE STUDY
Authors: Cīrule Iveta
Published: April 2022

INTRODUCTION

The concept of Open Innovation (OI) is recognised by researchers and practitioners internationally, but research on business incubation and incubators as OI partners promoting co-creation, collaboration, co-petition is missing the explanation of how OI in a pandemic transforms business incubation. Business incubators (BIs) are defined as a tool “to help small start-ups overcome liabilities of newness and smallness” (Vanderstraeten et al.,2020). The research aims to investigate the actual business incubation situation in Latvia in the pandemic with the focus on the OI approach. What is the business incubation scene in a pandemic? This remains the research question, addressing the hypothesis - the pandemic facilitated changes in national incubation promoting online co-creation, co-petition and collaboration.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The Latvian business incubation scene was the main research field of the postdoctoral research project “Open Innovation”. Descriptive analyses of various incubator types in Latvia were performed, identifying the types of incubators including the University, industry and state-run incubators, incubation services and requirements. The content analyses of the co-occurrence of key services were conducted by mapping the incubation service area. The research period was during the pandemic time of 2021, when several socialisation restrictions came into force in Latvia, thus, shifting incubation online.

RESULTS

The pandemic facilitated changes in the national incubation system, promoting online co-creation, co-petition and collaboration in the business incubation field offering online nature services to tenants. External online expertise, as well as online mentoring support, were the OI outside-in strategy activities offered to tenants.

DISCUSSION

The incubation requirements regarding tenants’ recruitment still differ in Latvia, offering the incubation from the idea stage to real time performance, and work in business incubators was on-going even in the pandemic. The nature of services switched to on-line and distance incubation, addressing the basic needs of tenants. The future research could focus on the further elaboration of measurement between the impact of on-site and on-line services on tenants’ performance.

CONCLUSION

The description of the national incubation scene during the pandemic is both a theoretical and practical novelty of this research, as this was the first time in the Latvia business incubation field when on-site services were restricted due to the pandemic. This research proved the importance of the business incubation function in entrepreneurship support and the ability of incubators to provide this function on-line.

Authors: GÜNDÜZ Reyhan , TURHAN Begümhan , SİZER Mulaim , YAMAN TUNÇ Senem , AĞAÇAYAK Elif
Published: April 2022

Background: The relationship between placental localization and fetus is unclear. This study was aimed to determine the relationships between placental localization, ultrasound findings and pregnancy outcomes of the third trimester of pregnancies.Materials and Methods: Three-hundred and two women were included in the study. Maternal age, gravidi-ty, parity, abortion and live birth numbers, types of previous births, gestational age, femur length (FL), bipa-rietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), placental localization (ante-rior/posterior/lateral/fundus), umbilical artery systolic/diastolic ratio (S/D), fetal presentation, type of deliv-ery, post-partum parameters of infant were obtained from archive records.Results: The placentas were located in the anterior, posterior, fundal and lateral uterine wall in 38.1%, 30.1%, 19.9%, and 11.9% of individuals, respectively. Measurements of the HC in the third trimester were differed according to the localization of the placenta, and the HC measurements were significantly higher if the placental localization was anteriorly (p=0.045). There were no differences in other ultrasonographic measurements (S/D, BPD, AC ve FL), in the height, weight, and gender of the baby, gestational week at delivery, APGAR scores and type of delivery according to the placental localization (p>0.05).Conclusions: In this study, we found that placental localization did not affect pregnancy outcomes, type of delivery and gender of the baby in risk-free, spontaneous and single pregnancies in the third trimester. Also, we stated that the previous birth type did not give an idea about placental localization. We think that placenta implantations, except placental location anomaly and invasion anomaly, do not provide precise information about pregnancy outcomes and type of delivery.
Who Benefits and Loses from Large Changes to Student Composition? Assessing Impacts of Lowering School Admissions Standards in Indonesia
Authors: Berkhout Emilie , Dharmawan Goldy , Beatty Amanda , Suryadarma Daniel , Pradhan Menno
Published: April 2022

We study the effects of an admission policy change that caused a massive shift in student composition in public and private junior secondary schools in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In 2018, the primary criterion for admission into Yogyakarta’s 16 preferred, free public schools (grades 7-9) changed from a grade 6 exam score ranking to a neighborhood-to-school distance ranking. This policy change resulted in a decline in average grade 6 scores in public schools by 0.4 standard deviations (s.d.) and a 0.4 s.d. increase in private schools. We assessed learning impacts caused by the changed student composition by comparing two otherwise similar cohorts of students admitted before and after the policy change. Average grade 8 test scores across math and Indonesian declined by 0.08 s.d. (not significant). To understand which students throughout the education system gained and lost in terms of learning, we simulated public school access under the 2018 policy and its predecessor for both cohorts. In public schools, teachers attempted to adapt lessons to lower-scoring students by changing teaching approaches and tracking students. These responses and/or exposure to different peers negatively affected learning for students predicted to have access to public schools under both policies (-0.13 s.d., significant at the 10 percent level) and aided students with predicted public school access under the new policy slightly (0.12 s.d., not significant). These results are in contrast to existing literature which finds little or no impact from shifts in student composition on incumbent students’ learning. In private schools, we found no such adaptations and no effects on predicted incumbent students. However, students predicted to enter private schools under the new policy saw large negative effects (-0.24 s.d., significant), due to lower school quality and/or peer effects. Our results demonstrate that effects from high-performing, selective schools can be highly heterogenous and influenced by student composition.

Published: April 2022

Any criminal law prohibition must be objectively necessary and socially conditioned. In this process, the totality of all factors - the grounds for a criminal law prohibition - is subject to consideration. In particular, historical and legal traditions, the level of public legal awareness, the damage caused by these acts, their social danger, typicality, prevalence, causes and conditions that give rise to these acts, the impossibility of influencing them by other measures, except for criminal legal means of influence, and other social and legal-criminological grounds. Even an elementary assessment of these grounds does not cast doubt on the need to establish criminal liability for the use of torture. Therefore, the efforts of the legislator in resolving this issue deserve only support. Using the available scientific developments, the draft law No. 42307-8, submitted to the State Duma of the Russian Federation by senators A. A. Klishas, V. V. Poletaev and deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation P. V. Krasheninnikov, is considered (analyzed) from the point of view of their effectiveness proposals to combat torture.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the most promising and effective way to minimize environmental and environmental-legal risks in the Arctic climatic conditions. Special attention is paid to the Institute of Environmental Insurance in the light of the development and adoption of the Fundamentals of the State Policy of the Russian Federation in the Arctic for the period up to 2035. It is noted that environmental insurance is not only a guarantee of satisfying the interests of individuals and legal entities in the event of certain insured events, but also one of the preventive ways of environmental protection. Attention is paid to the need to develop public-private partnership in the process of developing infrastructure facilities in the Arctic zone of Russia. According to the author, within the framework of the adoption of the Federal Law "On State Support of Entrepreneurial Activity in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation", a voluntary form of environmental insurance, implying additional benefits to Arctic residents, becomes preferable.
