Using GLOBE Observations to Analyze the Effect of Hurricanes on Mosquito Population Patterns
Authors: Wang Emily , Larina Valentina , Wright Daniel
Published: December 2022

Each year, hurricanes hit the United States coastline and disrupt ecosystems in the area. This research aimed to analyze the effect of hurricanes on mosquito population patterns. The scope of this research was the city of Miami, Florida from the time period of 2017 to 2022, in which GLOBE Mosquito Habitat Mapper data was collected. Data from the GLOBE Mosquito Habitat Mapper, local data from Miami-Dade, data from the EM-DAT international disasters database and other data collected from hurricanes that affected Florida from 2017 to 2022 was utilized. This research compiled these datasets and mapped the relationships between them to reveal a trend. Maps of mosquito density and mosquito observations in the five-year time frame were compared to specific hurricane data to determine how mosquito populations react after an extreme weather event. Additionally, through utilizing GLOBE Mosquito Habitat Mapper data, this research determined how frequently citizens of the affected area will observe mosquitos after a disaster. Ultimately, this research analyzed the relationship between the intensity of hurricanes and mosquito population patterns where they hit, as well as how they influence the occurrence of citizen science contributions. The outcomes of this research can be used to predict how future hurricanes can influence mosquito populations and subsequently inform public health policy decisions.
A consistent representation of cloud overlap and cloud subgrid vertical heterogeneity
Authors: Lebrun Raphaël , Dufresne Jean-Louis , Villefranque Najda
Published: December 2022

Many global climate models underestimate the cloud cover and
overestimate the cloud albedo, especially for low-level clouds. We
determine how a correct representation of the vertical structure of
clouds can fix part of this bias. We use the 1D McICA framework and
focus on low-level clouds. Using LES results as reference, we propose a
method based on exponential-random overlap (ERO) that represents the
cloud overlap between layers and the subgrid cloud properties over
several vertical scales, with a single value of the overlap parameter.
Starting from a coarse vertical grid, representative of atmospheric
models, this algorithm is used to generate the vertical profile of the
cloud fraction with a finer vertical resolution, or to generate it on
the coarse grid but with subgrid heterogeneity and cloud overlap that
ensures a correct cloud cover. Doing so we find decorrelation lengths
are dependent on the vertical resolution, except if the vertical subgrid
heterogeneity and interlayer overlap are taken into account coherently.
We confirm that the frequently used maximum-random overlap leads to a
significant error by underestimating the low-level cloud cover with a
relative error of about 50%, that can lead to an error of SW cloud
albedo as big as 70%. Not taking into account the subgrid vertical
heterogeneity of clouds can cause an additional relative error of 20%
in brightness, assuming the cloud cover is correct.

Notas sobre los criterios estéticos de algunos artefactos pilagás
Authors: Reboledo Ruiz Diaz Natalia Soledad
Published: December 2022

En este artículo procuramos estudiar la apreciación estética de las producciones materiales pilagás que identificamos como “artefactos”. El análisis se desarrolla, principalmente, a partir de la revisión de algunos textos de carácter etnográfico producidos en diferentes momentos históricos. De esta manera, queremos sentar los precedentes de lo que se ha estudiado respecto de ciertos artefactos pilagás. A su vez, cotejamos dicha información con lo recabado en el terreno mediante el trabajo de campo etnográfico, instancia en la que surgieron los interrogantes que motivaron esta investigación. Entendemos, de esta forma, que en las muñecas, las bolsas, los tejidos, las vasijas y las artesanías de los pilagás subyacen intenciones propias de la acción social que parecen haber cambiado con el tiempo, principalmente con la ocupación colonizadora del Chaco.
Os símbolos dos últimos caçadores-colectores do centro de Portugal
Authors: Garcês Sara
Published: December 2022

Ao longo da história da Humanidade, partindo de uma perspetiva ecológica que integra os grupos de humanos como apenas mais uma espécie na natureza, todos os grupos de caçadores-recoletores parecem ter mantido uma relação especial com algum tipo de animal. Na arte rupestre europeia, esta relação é muito mais evidente em cronologias paleolíticas, no entanto, cremos que os conceitos básicos destinados a unir o mundo real com o mundo hiperfísico reconhecido nos caçadores-recolectores do paleolítico através da representação de animais, signos e (poucas) figuras humanas, não foi abandonada nos primeiros milénios do Holocénico. Supõe-se que estas crenças acumuladas durante o Paleolítico Superior, não desapareceram de um dia para o outro. Os animais não só resolviam uma questão económica, como tiveram um papel muito mais complexo no seio das comunidades de caçadores-recolectores. Este trabalho pretende dar a conhecer a relação intrínseca que parece surgir entre os últimos caçadores-recoletores do Holocénico do Vale do Tejo, centro de Portugal, e os cervídeos.

Urban agriculture is not only a practice of providing food, but also a social lifestyle trend. Different approaches to practice provide the opportunity of different forms and functions, from growing products for household selfconsumption to setting up community gardens and commercial practices. Despite the international experience and the potential of urban agriculture in the sustainable development, in Latvia the practice is mostly implemented through individual or community initiatives. The development of urban agriculture in Latvia is influenced by several factors; therefore, the aim of the scientific article is to identify, classify and characterize factors affecting urban agriculture in Latvia. To achieve the aim, tasks are set: 1) to identify factors influencing urban agriculture, 2) to classify factors and characterize the impact. Several methods have been used in the study to fulfil tasks: systematic theoretical review for factor selection, coverage and characterization, methods of analysis, synthesis and deduction for identification and classification of factors, mathematical statistics correlation method for data correlation, force field analysis for the visualization of the factors impact. Results show that urban agriculture in Latvia has several obstacles – unclear status in legislation, the high cost of needed resources compared to rural areas, the increasing level of the household income. However, there are also factors that contribute to the development, such as criteria for urban greening and sustainability in the development strategies, the concentration of food-demand-driven businesses in cities, food-growing habits and positive attitudes among urban dwellers, and the potential of urban agriculture to promote environmental sustainability.

Authors:   Institute of Agricultural Resources and Economics, Latvia, Hazners Juris , Zvirbule Andra ,   Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies, Latvia
Published: December 2022

This paper analyzes the direct impact of the EU funding on the spatial distribution of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows in Latvian rural districts. While the determinants of inflows of FDI are often analysed at the regional and national level, the impact of the EU funding on the spatial distribution of FDI between the administrative entities within a single country is not extensively studied. The research objective is to assess the possible net impact of the EU funding on FDI inflows in Latvian rural districts, thus enabling the more targeted policy decisions with respect to the structure in future EU funding. To evaluate this impact, Instrumental Variables method is applied using the panel data on Latvian rural districts. The research results confirm that positive direct impact of the EU funding on the FDI inflows in Latvian rural districts exists, and it is substantial and statistically significant. At the same time, confounded ‘third factors’ might exist with negative impact on FDI inflows. While the spatial distribution of the FDI inflows in several regional aspects is rather uneven, the respective differences in the EU funding are less pronounced confirming the existence of negative ‘third factors’. Hence, the structure of the support by EU funds has to be revised to improve the local potential determinants of the FDI inflows with emphasis on infrastructure and human capital.

TEAM MANAGEMENT IN THE CIVIL SERVICE IN THE PRESENT-DAY CHALLENGES AND THREATS
Authors: Korchak Nataliiа , Larina Nataliia , Yashutin Igor
Published: December 2022

The transformational processes that are taking place in public administration today require new approaches to the public administration process. One of these approaches is the principle of team building in the organisation of managerial and professional activities of civil servants. According to the authors, there is a need to introduce a team-building approach to the functioning of competitive management teams in public authorities. This is due to the complexity of the tasks currently faced by civil servants under martial law in Ukraine and the prospects of transformational changes in public administration in the post-war period, as well as in the context of Ukraine's integration processes into the European community. Such challenges in organising the managerial activities of civil servants need to combine the intellectual and volitional efforts of the authorities to dynamically address various managerial tasks, which cannot be realised without the establishment of target (project) groups; high competition between different authorities requiring them to provide clint-oriented administrative services, increasing the competitiveness of civil servants and the authorities themselves. The article aims to reveal the possibilities of applying the team approach in the managerial activity of public authorities based on a theoretical analysis of the scientific literature and to propose directions for improving the professional activity of civil servants based on team management and virtue. To solve the tasks the authors used theoretical and empirical methods: analysis of the problem based on scientific literature and literature; results of testing, survey of civil servants, content analysis; method of mathematical statistics; GET TEST methodology – to determine the characteristics of competitiveness of management team of civil servants in public authorities. The article justifies practical recommendations to authorities on the application of effective management in public authorities based on team management (team building) and virtue.
ANALYSIS OF LEGAL FORMS OF LAND USE UNDER THE LEGISLATION OF UKRAINE AND POLAND
Authors: Tsvigun Iryna
Published: December 2022

In the article, a professional comparative legal analysis of the forms of land use under the legislation of Ukraine and Poland was carried out. For the completeness and comprehensive presentation of the research, attention is primarily focused on the legal forms of land use, the legislation that regulates the issue of registration of rights to land plots is analyzed. The article outlines the presence of a set approach to the introduction of a plot of land into circulation in Ukraine and Poland. A plot of land becomes an object of legal relations under the condition of its formation, i.e. transformation from an object – a natural resource to a separate object of space with defined boundaries and mode of use. It has been investigated that land plots in Ukraine can be under the conditions of ownership (state, communal, collective and private) and use (permanent use, lease or sublease, land easement, use of someone else's land plot for agricultural needs (emphyteusis) and use of someone else's land plot for buildings (surfaces)). The article discloses the conditions for the use of land plots in Ukraine and Poland and it is clarified that, in general, the forms of use are identical, but with certain differences, namely the presence in Ukrainian legislation of the right of permanent use as a tool for acquiring rights to land plots, as opposed to usufruct in Polish legislation. It has been established that the right of permanent use is an ineffective legal instrument for acquiring rights to land plots in Ukraine, as evidenced by numerous court practices. It is proposed, based on the results of the research, and taking into account successful foreign experience, the introduction of the usufruct institution into Ukrainian legislation as a legal structure for the use of land plots/real estate, which will allow to resolve a number of problems that arise in practice and are related to the right of permanent use, which is acquired whether it is acquired according to the provisions of Ukrainian legislation.
THE HUMAN FACTOR ISSUES IN BIOMEDICAL SYSTEMS
Authors: Mygal Galyna , Protasenko Olga
Published: December 2022

The consequence of insufficient attention of specialists to the human factor in the development of biomedical technologies is the lack of awareness of biomedical engineering students with the cognitive aspects of human-machine interaction, which does not allow the design of safe and reliable biomedical systems. The paper shows the need to consider the human factor at all stages of the life cycle of biomedical systems and the need to introduce a discipline dedicated to the phenomenon of the human factor into the training program for biomedical engineers. Thus, the consequence of the development of biotechnologies is the necessity for teaching students to consider the human factor at all stages of the biomedical technologies life cycle. The motivation is to bridge the gap between the theoretical concepts proposed to eliminate human factors problems in the modelling and design of biomedical systems and the practical implementation of human activities in them. It is necessary to consider the issues that may arise due to the human factor in the operation of biomedical systems in order to move forward in solving these problems.
“Also” or “aussi”? On second language interference and code-switching (based on an internal student survey)
Authors: Е. А. Кузнецова,
Published: December 2022

В статье анализируются результаты опроса, в котором приняли участие 88 обучающихся на 2-4 курсах по направлению подготовки «Лингвистика» Университета науки и технологий МИСИС. Собранные данные демонстрируют, что с определенными трудностями в речи на изучаемых языках сталкиваются почти все обучающиеся, хотя уверенно оперирует понятиями интерференции и переключения кодов менее четверти респондентов. Ответы студентов свидетельствуют о том, что интерферентные ошибки и переключения с языка на язык редко вызывают негативную реакцию у говорящего и у слушающих. Анализ результатов опроса также показывает, что интерференции более всего подвержены студенты, которые одновременно осваивают английский и французский языки.

The article discusses the results of an internal student survey conducted among the students of the second, third and fourth year who study linguistics at the University of Science and Technology MISIS (Moscow, Russia). The collected data demonstrate that nearly all the students have difficulties when speaking their second or third languages and yet only 22 % of the respondents are aware of linguistic interference and code-switching. The students´ responses prove that linguistic interference errors and code-switching seldom arouse negative reactions of the speakers and their addressees. The survey results also show that linguistic interference errors are mostly made by learners of English and French.

Concrete is a significant construction material that is utilized extensively worldwide. A research study on the properties of concrete was conducted using Glass Waste (GW), which was readily available locally. As broken glass is difficult to sort, it is possible to positively utilize this waste particulate matter to reduce its detrimental impacts on both human health and the environment. Besides crushing or grinding, glass can transform into a natural pozzolan which enhances the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. This study also intends to reduce the amount of binding material used in the manufacturing of concrete blocks by making the best use of cement with Glass Waste. Therefore, an attempt has been made by using GW from 5-20% by weight as cement replacement for concrete blocks. When 5% crushed glass waste was added to the concrete mix (1:2:4), maximum compressive strength was 25.90 N/mm2, as opposed to Ordinary Cement Concrete's 21.09 N/mm2 strength, according to workability and laboratory testing. The 5% Glass Waste Mixed Cube and 5% Glass Waste Mixed Cylinder had the lowest water absorption test values at 2.22% and 3.58% respectively. In comparison to Ordinary Cement Concrete, Glass Waste Concrete has higher tensile strength. The maximum splitting tensile strength for 5% crushed Glass Waste Concrete was 2.115 N/mm2, compared to 1.815 N/mm2 for an Ordinary Cement Concrete Cylinder. The concrete with 20% glass waste content had the highest density, which was 2380.4 kg/m3 that defines good quality concrete.

Soursop has proven to be of high economic importance and contains some essential nutrients which are needed in the human body for heathy living. The seeds contain oil of about 24.86%. The oil is of high quality and possesses good characteristics that can be used as feedstock in food industries and in many other industrial applications. This research study was focused on investigating the proximate composition, mechanical and chemical properties of soursop seeds for industrial uses and as a potential supplement for feedstock. The data obtained from this study was statistically analysed using Tukey HSD. The results for the proximate analyses of soursop seeds were found to be high for all moisture content levels (19.10%, 19.82%, 20.67%, 21.25% and 23.15%). The samples with 30% moisture contain level contained the highest level of fat. Carbohydrate content in the sample was found to be low for all moisture content level (3.21%, 3.46%, 3.79%, 4.23% and 44.76%). The relative density values were between 0.92 and 0.98 (g/cm3) with specific gravity from 0.72 to 0.96 and refractive index was 1.46 at all the moisture levels employed. The results obtained from investigating the various composition of soursop seeds and also the oil expressed from the seeds indicted that, soursop seeds possess some good qualities which can be used for many industrial applications.
A Review of the Court of Appeal’s Decision in Moses G. Jwan v. Ecobank Plc & United Bank for Africa Plc CA/J/132/2019; (2021) 10 NWLR (PT 1785) 449; (2020) LPELR-55243(CA)

This paper is a review of the Court of Appeal’s decision where it held that banks owe their customers a duty of care which extends to the responsibility of ensuring that a customer is paid cash whether he makes a withdrawal request whether through the use of a cheque or an automated teller machine (ATM) provided that there are sufficient funds in the customer’s account. It is a decision that hopefully would bring to the awareness of Nigerian banks that customers are owed a duty of care and failure to discharge that duty is negligence on their part. This is necessary especially as it has become common sight to find a long queue of customers waiting to file one complaint or the other at the customer service section of almost every bank in Nigeria.

The objectives of this study were to analyze the behavior and causal factors of plagiarism among the undergraduate students in accomplishing their coursework in Islamic religion subject. The study used methods combination of qualitative and quantitative research or Exploratory mixed methods designs. Qualitative data were taken from 15 papers of group works in the subjects of Islamic religion, while quantitative data were taken using questionnaires towards 80 students who are taking course in Islamic religion at State University of Padang (UNP). Data taken from papers of groupwork were analyzed thematically with method of data collection, data reduction, data presentation and taking conclusion, while questionnaires were analyzed descriptively using SPSS software version 18.0 for Windows.Results of the document analysis found that there are three forms of behavior of student plagiarism in accomplishing the coursework, first:  by quoting the entire writings of the other person without mentioning the source, second: by quoting part / half of the text/writings of others, third: by quoting the writing of others then converted into their own statements. While there are eight factors that cause plagiarism which are: not understand about plagiarism, the student’s instant culture in accomplishing academic tasks, the high volume of academic tasks given by lecturers, students’ low interest in reading, not enough time to find the answer in the book, the ease of Information Technology, low purchasing power and lack of knowledge in how to write a scientific papers.
