Authors: Mongush S. S.
Published: October 2021

In Republic of Tuva sheep breeding is a leading branch of animal husbandry. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, the number of sheep is 980 thousand heads at the 1st of January 2021. Among them the percentage of Tuva-Saraja coarse-hair hybrids is more than 60%. The purpose of the work is to study economically valuable traits of Tuva-Saraja sheep of a new type in comparison with Tuva coarse-hair short-fat tailed sheep. For comparative assessment of live weight, dirty wool clip and length of wool according to the method of random sample, out of the herd there were selected 30 heads of ram lambs yearlings and 30 heads of ewe lambs yearlings of Tuva-Saraja semi-coarse-hair sheep of new type and Tuva coarse-hair short-fat tailed sheep. The results of research have shown, that rams and ewes yearlings of Tuva-Saraja semi-coarse-hair breed of new type significantly differ in size and wool productivity. They predominate over the lambs of the same age of Tuva coarse-hair short-fat tailed in live weight by 3.2-3.4 kg (9,7-10.2 %) statistically more, than Tuva coarse-hair short-fat tailed of the same age. The longest wool was recorded in rams yearlings of new type, with underwool of 7.8 cm that exceeded the length of underwool of Tuva ram lambs yearlings by 1.3 cm or 20.0 %, the top hair was 14.4 cm and exceeded the same index in analogues by 3,4 cm or 30.9 %. Tuva coarse-hair ewe lambs yearlings gave way to the semi-coarse-hair ewes of new type in the length of underwool and top hair. Thus, the rams and ewes yearlings semi-coarse-hair ewes of new type considerably differ in live weight, dirty wool clip and length of wool in comparison with Tuva coarse-hair short-fat tailed of the same age.

The article provides the results of study of the effectiveness of collection methods and the taxonomic identification of insects in the regions of Russia. During the research three methods of collecting insects were used: a UV trap, fly strips and a liquid gadfly trap (“death puddle”). The following blood-sucking insects play a key role in the epizootology of transmissible infections - houseflies (Muscidae), black flies (Simuliidae), mosquitoes (Culicidae), biting midges (Ceratopogonidae), gadflies (Tabanidae). There has been obtained new information on the species, territorial and temporal dynamics of the distribution of vectors of lumpy skin disease in cattle in the subjects of the Russian Federation. Data collection of the spatial and temporal spread of the disease visualized using GIS-technologies have been generated on the basis of the statistical reports. As the result of the research, it has been established that in the Nizhny Novgorod region representatives of the Psychodidae family, the percentage of which was 40.9 %, predominate in the nocturnal entomological complex. They are followed by mosquitoes (genus Culex) - 21.6 %, biting midges - 16.4 % manure flies - 7.0 % and black flies - 3.0 %, respectively. In the Saratov region, the nocturnal entomological complex was represented by manure flies (family Sphaeroceridae), black flies (family Simuliidae) and mosquitoes (genus Culex), the percentages were 56,0, 32,0 and 12,0 %, respectively. At the same time, in the Saratov region there were collected 239 times less mosquitoes than in the Nizhny Novgorod region, which was due to an increase in temperature in the conditions of the southern regions. This caused the water bodies to dry out and reduced the pool of insects whose developmental cycle is related to water. It has been established that all-year keeping of cattle in winter cow yards provides the diversity and rise in the number of insect vectors, which increases the risk of lumpy skin disease as compared to the grazing system of cattle keeping. For collection daytime insect vectors, it is recommended to use fly strips covered with rosin and mineral oil. For collection insects of the nocturnal entomocomplex, which are the main transmitters of the lumpy skin disease virus, one should use ultraviolet traps.

Self-made 3D-printed encapsulation of thin-film transducers for reliable force measurement in biomedical applications
Authors: Pertusio Raffaele , Roatta Silvestro
Published: October 2021

In biomedical studies as well as in clinical trials, it is often useful to have a reliable measure of the force exerted by the body(eg. clenching force at the teeth or pinch force at fingertips) or on the body by external stimuli (eg. taps to elicit reflexes orlocal pressure for nociceptive stimulation). Thin-film sensors such as FlexiForce ® provide a very handy and versatile solutionfor these application, but can be easily damaged and offer poor accuracy and repeatability, being heavily affected by thesurface material they get in contact with. The aim of the study is the realization of a 3D-printed cover that completely embedsthe sensor, thus providing mechanical protection and increasing reliability of the measurement. The increasing availability of3D printers and of printing materials for medical use allows the user to shape the cover according to specific needs, with shortdeveloping time and low cost.

Published: October 2021

Use of Metal and its alloys have become the need of this world. high strength pipes and equipment are required for the extraction of bituminous oil from soil. For this High strength Low Alloy Steel (Micro-alloyed steels) can be used. HSLA required large size ingots for its manufacturing therefore in recent years, large size ingots demand is increased. Large size ingots are subjected to cracking while manufacturing during open die forging process. Optical Scanning Electron Microscopies and Energy dispersion Spectroscopy techniques are carried out for the investigation of root causes of the cracking during forging of large size ingots. Microstructure of large size ingots sample are reviewed at different locations and grain boundaries. Results of these chemical techniques shows the enrichment of chromium and oxygen content at the boundaries which clearly differentiated a cracked boundary and non-cracked locations. This writing comprises the literature study, test procedures and analyzing the results to review that abnormal grain growth was the cause of cracking of large size ingots during forging process. The report also reviewed, alternate heat treatments and possible solution.
Children Mirror Adults for the Worse: Evidence of Suicide Rates due to Air Pollution and Recessions
Authors: Okuyama Akihiro , Yoo Sunbin , Managi Shunsuke
Published: October 2021

[Background] Every year, more than 700,000 die due to suicide, one of the most common reasons for youth death. While many studies have revealed two main factors for suicidal behavior: impulsive suicidal behavior due to mental illness and financial stress, it is not clear what happens if individuals face deterioration of mental health and economic recession. This paper attempts to answer this question and how suicide rates are correlated with these factors.[Methods] We empirically investigate whether economic recessions and air pollution trigger suicides by examining Japan, a country with one of the highest suicide rates, from 2014 to 2021. We take advantage of the characteristics of the COVID-19 pandemic and the periods before the pandemic when both economic recessions and reductions in air pollution occurred simultaneously. Using monthly and municipal-level data, we construct a triple difference model that takes air pollution and unemployment as treatments.[Results] Our findings show that high levels of air pollution and unemployment have substantial impacts on the suicide rates of adults (22.9% in the short term) and children (42.7% in the short term, 36.0% in the long term), indicating that the increase in suicide rates among children is almost twice as high as that among adults. Our study finds that unemployment and air pollution alone are not associated with increased suicide rates but their simultaneous occurrence triggers suicides.[Conclusions] Our study urges suicide prevention, particularly among children, as an essential consideration for public health. Furthermore, our results indicate the need for the government to allocate resources to recover air quality and the economy simultaneously during a recession to reduce suicide mortality.
“I’m trying to reach out, I’m trying to find my people” – A mixed-methods investigation of loneliness and loneliness distress in autistic adults

Published: October 2021

Rates of loneliness are substantially higher among autistic individuals compared to the non-autistic population. This observation refutes the persistent stereotype that autistic individuals are not motivated to seek meaningful social relationships. In this two-part, mixed-methods study, we sought to quantify the level of distress associated with loneliness in autistic and non-autistic adults and gain qualitative insight into autistic experiences of loneliness. In Study A, N=209 participants completed questionnaire ratings of their level of loneliness, associated distress, trait anxiety, depression, and sensory sensitivity. In Study B, nine autistic adults took part in ten-minute, unstructured dyadic conversations around the topic of loneliness. We derived a qualitative understanding of autistic individuals’ experience of loneliness, enriched by inductive and deductive analyses. The autistic group scored significantly higher across all measures and both groups displayed strong correlations between loneliness and loneliness distress. The effect of loneliness on anxiety was mediated by increased sensory sensitivity in the autistic group. Our results oppose the ‘social motivation deficit’ hypothesis and we instead frame our findings within the larger context of ‘ethical loneliness’, concluding that to enable meaningful and inclusive social interaction, a societal effort is needed to create spaces that consider the sensory needs of all neurotypes.
Theory of mind in naturalistic conversations between autistic and typically developing children and adolescents

Published: October 2021

Successful social interactions are assumed to depend on theory of mind (ToM)—the ability to represent others’ mental states—yet most studies of the relation between ToM and social-interactive success rely on non-interactive tasks that do not adequately capture the spontaneous engagement of ToM, a crucial component of everyday social interactions. We addressed this gap by establishing a novel observational rating scale to measure the spontaneous use of ToM (or lack thereof) within naturalistic conversations (conversational ToM, or cToM). In 50 age- and gender-matched dyads of autistic and typically developing children aged 8–16, we assessed cToM during 5-minute, unstructured conversations. We found that ratings on the cToM Negative scale, reflecting ToM-related violations of conversational norms, were negatively associated with two forms of non-interactive ToM: visual-affective and spontaneous. In contrast, the cToM Positive scale, reflecting explicit mental state language and perspective-taking, was not associated with these non-interactive ToM abilities. Furthermore, autistic participants were rated higher than typically developing participants on cToM Negative, but the two groups were rated similarly on cToM Positive. Together, these findings provide insight into multiple aspects of ToM in conversation and reveal a nuanced picture of the relative strengths and difficulties among autistic individuals.
Limits on semantic prediction in the processing of extraction from adjunct clauses
Authors: Chacón Dustin Alfonso , Kohrt Annika , O'Neill Peter , Sorensen Trey
Published: October 2021

Processing filler-gap dependencies (‘extraction’) depends on complex top-down predictions. This is observed in comprehenders’ ability to avoid resolving filler-gap dependencies in syntactic island contexts, and in the immediate sensitivity to the plausibility of the resulting interpretation. How complex can these predictions be? In this paper, we examine the processing of extraction from adjunct clauses. Adjunct clauses are argued to be syntactic islands, however, extraction is permitted if the adjunct clause and main clause satisfy specific compositional and conceptual semantic criteria. In an acceptability judgment task, we found that this generalization is robust. Additionally, our results show that this is a property specific to adjunct clauses by comparing adjunct clauses to conjunct VPs, which are similarly argued to permit extraction depending on semantic factors. However, in an A-Maze task, we found no evidence that this knowledge is deployed in real-time sentence processing. Instead, we found that comprehenders attempted to resolve a filler-gap dependency in an adjunct clause regardless of its island status. We propose that this is because deploying this linguistic constraint depends on a second-order serial search over event schemata, which is likely costly and time-consuming. Thus, comprehenders opt for a riskier strategy and attempt resolution into adjunct clauses categorically.
Mere ownership effect is equally pronounced in material and immaterial objects
Authors: Bialek Michal , Stefańczyk Michał , Rokosz Marta
Published: October 2021

The mere ownership effect is an increase in the subjective value of owned objects compared to identical but non-owned objects. We tested whether the effect differs in magnitude between material and immaterial objects (e.g., information). Three hundred participants played an incentivized detective game in which they had to connect clues to identify a murderer. Their task was to evaluate the usefulness of the clues they or their partners were endowed with. Despite the fact that the immaterial clues were rated as more useful than the material ones, we found the mere ownership effect to be similarly strong for the material and the immaterial clues.
Eliciting Information in Official Finnish Asylum Interviews
Authors: Skrifvars Jenny , Antfolk Jan , van Veldhuizen Tanja , Sui Veronica , Korkman Julia
Published: October 2021

Previous research has indicated that asylum interviewers—contrary to recommendations—use more closed than open questions to elicit information. In the current study, we investigated how information is elicited in asylum interviews by analysing question-answer pairs in 105 official Finnish asylum interview transcripts. We developed a new coding framework for analysing the content and characteristics of the answers and used previously collected data on the questions. As predicted, we found that open questions elicited more new information and new key aspects of the asylum claims than other question types. We further extend on previous research by showing that the free recall phases only elicited half of all key aspects of the claims and that mis-matched answers and difficult or unanswerable questions were alarmingly common. Interviewers would benefit from more training in asking open questions and resolving misunderstandings. Revising the instructions for the free recall phase would likely increase its efficacy.
Unions, technology, social-class, and earnings inequality in the US, 1984-2019
Authors: Minardi Saverio
Published: October 2021

Earnings inequalities in the US have steadily grown in the last decades, and between-class inequalities have been a central component of this process. However, while research has highlighted the strengthening relationship between occupational social classes and earnings, less attention has been paid to what factors have altered the market returns of different social classes. The present article investigates the contribution of two of the most widely recognized drivers of wage inequalities – de-unionization and technological change – to the growth of between-class inequalities. Using direct measures for computerization and union density at the industry level, this article analyses their relationship to the earnings growth of employees in different social classes from 1984 to 2019. Descriptive results underline the diverging earnings growth of manual and non-manual workers. Furthermore, minor support is found for the claim that computerization at the industry level was associated with the earnings growth of salariat and non-manual workers. In contrast, de-unionization is related to the diverging fortunes of manual and service classes in two ways. First, unionization is positively associated with the earnings of all social classes but more strongly with those of the lower classes. Second, manual workers were employed in much greater numbers in industries that experienced severe declines in union density and have thus been majorly affected by its decay. Finally, the growth in educational levels for non-manual classes emerges as a crucial determinant of their faster earnings growth. Overall, results support recent sociological literature suggesting that institutional factors, rather than technological change, are primarily responsible for rising inequalities in the US.

Published: October 2021

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between school organisational silence and teachers’ job commitment and productivity. Two hypotheses (tested at 0.05 level of significance) were formulated to guide the study. With the study’s foundation anchored on correlational and descriptive research designs, its population comprised all teachers. The sample size was 300 teachers. Analysis was carried out using inferential statistics. The data of the study were obtained by questionnaire. Pearsons Product Moment Correlation Analysis was used to test the two hypotheses. Findings indicate that a positive and non-significant relationship existed between school organisational silence and teachers’ job commitment in Lagos State Education District I (r = -0.035, ρ>0.05) and the study also found that there was a negative and non-significant relationship between school organisational silence and teachers’ productivity in Lagos State Education District I (r = 0.770, ρ>0.05). It is concluded that organisational silence is present in Lagos State Education District I senior secondary schools, as evidenced in the study. The study therefore recommended that school leaders/managers should always engaging school teachers in communication and entering them into discussions and decisions in order to reduce silence in the organisation of the school, so as to enhance teachers’ job commitment. School as organisation should pay attention to not only the professional knowledge of the applicants but also to their personal characteristics, hence this can boost the teachers’ productivity.
