Spatiotemporal Evolution of Droughts and Their Teleconnections with Large-Scale Climate Indices over Guizhou Province in Southwest China
Authors: Xiao Liying , Chen Xi , Zhang Runrun , Zhang Zhicai
Published: October 2019

The spatiotemporal evolution of meteorological droughts in Guizhou Province, Southwest China is analyzed based on a new set of the Standardized Precipitation Index series that mainly includes drought events that occurred from 1961 to 2004 at 81 meteorological stations. The cluster analysis shows that the study region can be classified into six homogeneous sub-regions where the drought characteristics and their temporal evolutions are quite different. The trend test and periodicity analysis indicate that Guizhou Province experienced a drier trend, which was most significant in the western parts of the region. It was found that the intensified drought severity was not always coincident with the drier trend but relied on the occurrence of extreme drought events. The trends of drier climate and drought severity were highly coincident with the temporal evolution of the drought periodicities, which were shortened from 1–4 years to less than one year. The shortened drought periodicity was found to be associated principally with a shift of the large-scale dominant climate indices from the North Atlantic Oscillation to the Indian Ocean Dipole after the late 1970s, and variations of the extreme drought events were mostly related to NINO34 in the study region.

Diffuse reflectance spectra, 400-800 nm, were determined on minerals, goethite, hematite, ilmenite, olivine, hypersthene, labradorite, garnet, hornblende, augite ; and rocks : andesite, basaltic glass, obsidian, basalt, rhyolite, ignimbrite, eclogite, peridotite and anorthosite. These spectra allow to give a quantitative expression of the colour of each sample, following the International Commission on Illumination system. Diffuse reflectance and colour values are useful for classification and remote sensing identification of earth's and solar system's materials.
Gedanken zur Agrarpolitik in einer erweiterten Europäischen Union (überarbeitete und gekürzte Fassung eines Vortrages vom April 2001)
Authors: Jannermann Gerhard
Published: October 2019

An der Schwelle eines sich vereinenden Europas besteht unter dem Wettbewerbsdruck der Globalisierung und dem Verbraucherdruck nach Qualitätssicherung der Nahrungsmittels sowie Erhalt der Naturgüter die eigentliche Herausforderung an die Agrarpolitik darin, die Politiksteuerung bei abnehmender Protektion langfristig stärker als bisher für den nachhaltigen Aufbau der Eigenwirtschaftlichkeit von Unternehmen und zugleich für den Abbau des Dualismus von Produktion einerseits und Naturschutz andererseits auszurichten. Transfermittel müssen deshalb strukturell verändert und differenzierter unter Beachtung regionaler und nationaler Erfordernisse eingesetzt werden. Dies erfordert eine Neuordnung des Agrarhaushalts und der agrarpolitischen Steuerungsinstrumente. Im Rahmen des Beitrages werden zur Politiksteuerung und zur Unternehmensstrategie Lösungswege aufgezeigt. Beachtung erfährt hierbei der Strukturwandel in der Landwirtschaft, besonders unter Berücksichtigung von Unternehmensgröße, Betriebsverfassung. Eigentum und Rechtsform. Der Übergang zum umweltgerechten Landbau wird begründet. Folgen aus der neuen Grenzziehung der Europäischen Union werden angerissen.

Published: October 2019

The experiments were carried out in a 2x2 factorial treatments with three replicates, and were completed with 32P phosphorus metabolism measurement. Hungarian Large White x Dutch Landrace growing pigs with 15–18 kg starting live weight were involved in the experiment.The experimental scheme was the following:Diet consisted of maize and extracted soybean meal. Both components have high phytase content and low phytase activity. 1/a animals received their P-supply according to their needs and 1/b animals got 10% less than their actual P-need in the first part of the experiment.In the second part of the experiment both groups (2/a, 2/b) received identical P-supply and 500FTU/kg P supplementation. Apart from P- and phytase-supplementation, the piglets’ diet was identical.Total P digestibility was 52% without phytase supplementation, which increases by 4% when P was added according to need and by 12% increase of decreased P-supply. Digestibility of nutrients somewhat increased as effect of phytase supplementation. According to the results of 32P experiments, inorganic P digestibility of MCP was 82–90.8%, which decreases to 73.4–87.2% in case of phytase supplementation.Parallel with tendency, native P digestibility of the diet was 31.5–32.2%, which increased to 42.5–54.5% in the case of phytase supplementation.Results support the that inorganic P input can be decreased by phytase supplementation and as a consequence P output, the concept and environmental pollution can at the some time be decreased.
Experiments for Isolating and Culturing Soil-borne Mycobacteria (Contemporary Publication)
Authors: Szelényi Ferenc , Berencsi György , Helmeczi Balázs
Published: October 2019

On grounds of the several thousand tests performed in the field of this topic, the following conclusions may be arrived at:1. The informations available and the experimental data on soil mycobacteria are very incomplete.2. Of the 77 strains isolated from similar soil types so far, and adaptable for pure basic culture, 47 strains are confusingly similar, from morphological aspects, to the mycobacteria isolated from clinical material.3. The apparently homogeneous cultures isolated from the soil are generally co-infected and, therefore, the morphological, biochemical, and other physiological characteristics of the isolated strains can be studied only on base cultures after purification.4. For the isolation of the soil mycobacteria experiments qualified hitherto as most suitable processes the 4 or 1 per cent NaOH neutralized with H2SO4, and the 1 per cent NaOH or 1 per cent Na3PO4 treatments, on Gottsacker agar medium with plate or top pouring, at a temperature of 29 to 37 C°, in a soil suspension sequence of 1:500 to 1:5000 final dilution.5. The Ziehl-Nielsen staining of the isolated mycobacteria composed to sub-cultures is best performed by heating with an infra red radiator from above, instead of the gas flame used so far to heat from below.The repetition of the biochemical test of the hitherto isolated 77 purified strains is under progress, and will be reported on in our next scientific publication.

Voices of remanded women in Western Canada: A qualitative analysis
Authors: Jones Daniel J. , Bucerius Sandra M. , Haggerty Kevin D.
Published: October 2019

Comparatively little is known about how Canadian prisoners experience and make sense of their lives inside Canadian correctional facilities. Based on 39 qualitative in-depth interviews conducted with remanded women in a Western Canadian remand prison as part of the University of Alberta Prison Project (UAPP), this article serves to describe the five main issues that women in our sample highlighted about their incarceration and how those were shaped by their own backgrounds and life histories: 1) Victimization; 2) Distrust of the police, 3) Parenting while incarcerated; 4) Addictions and mental health; 5) Contextual benefits of prison. The implications of this work for criminal justice practitioners, policymakers, and scholars are discussed. Our findings serve to detail the commonalities between the women in an effort to provide criminal justice and social service actors with contextual background information about their clients. They show that the women lack access to the myriad social and institutional supports that so many people take for granted, including protection from physical and sexual abuse, access to stable housing, addiction support, medical and dental treatment, mental health supports, trauma counselling, and the like.

1 ABSTRACT To identify the suitable genetic resources of forage legumes for animal feeding, the characterization of their chemical and biochemical composition is crucial since forage quality is a limiting factor which affects animal health and performance and consequently human health. In this context, this study carried out for the first time the analyses of the antioxidant compounds and the secondary metabolites (total phenols and tannins and saponins) in whole fresh biomass, flowers and stems of eight populations of Medicago ciliaris L (echinus Medicago) collected in different bioclimatic areas of north Tunisia. The analysis of variance showed significant differences between populations for all parameters (P<0.05) except for anthocyanins (P>0.05). Significant correlations were found between carotenoids and chlorophylls a and b (r= 0.59, n=48; P<0.0001) and between lycopene and β-carotene (r=0.81, n=48; P<0.0001). Multivariate analysis showed that populations 306 and 326 had the highest contents of chlorophyll a and carotenoids while Pop3 had the highest content of lycopene, β-carotenes, saponines and total tannins. These populations will be integrated in a breeding program for quality improvement of forage and will serve for grazing of pods and straw in summer and grazing of green biomass in winter and spring accordingly to their richness in antioxidant compounds.
INSTITUTIONAL ASPECTS OF FORMATION OF ECONOMIC GROWTH MODEL OF
THE BLACK SEA REGION
Authors: Irtyshcheva Inna  , Krylenko Dmytro
Published: October 2019

Introduction. The modern stage of economic transformations on the basis of the introduction of regional development models requires the use of innovative approaches to reforming the economy of the regions. An innovative approach can be implemented within the framework of all possible regional development models, which need to be established and implemented, taking into account the needs of specific regions and territories.
Purpose. The article aims to substantiate the institutional aspects of formation of economic growth model of the Black Sea region.
Results. It has been established that conceptual and strategic reference points of the development of the Black Sea region should take into account the features of its structural components, including economic and social components, environment and spatial regional development.
The economic and social components cause a logical change in the characteristics of material and ideal regional objects. The environment covers living and inanimate objects existing in and around the region, including natural and altered human objects. Spatial regional development is a multidimensional process that integrates various forms of combining individual components of regional development.
On the basis of our research, we have created the author's institutional model of economic growth in the Black Sea region. The purpose of institutionalization is the development of self-sufficient regional civil society institutes, the formation of competitive territorial communities and the strengthening of the vertical of the executive branch. The realization of this goal is based on the main strategic resources inherent in each particular region. On their basis, while using the principles of economy modernisation and the economy decentralisation of financial activities of the region, we can try to reach the planned results.
FOOD SECURITY AND ECONOMIC BASIS OF BIOFUELS MANUFACTURING
Authors: Furman Iryna , Tokarchuk Dina
Published: October 2019

Introduction. The factor that has potential for a significant increase in food prices is the increase in biofuel production from agricultural food raw materials. Today it is virtually impossible to determine the quantitative parameters of the influence of biofuels production on food prices. According to the International Monetary Fund, 15 to 30% increase in food prices is the result of growing crops for biofuel production. Both the opponents and supporters of biofuels from agricultural raw materials have subjective economic considerations.
Methods. The following methods have become the methodological basis of research: dialectical method, abstract and logical method, graphical method, method of theoretical generalization method, method of analogy and system approach.
Results. The article analyses the level of food security in Ukraine and examines the likely impact of biofuel production on food security in the country. It has been substantiated that first generation biofuel production in Ukraine does not pose a threat to food security, since there are land that can be used to grow energy crops. It has been studied the expediency of biofuel production from the surplus of food crops that is being exported. It has been motivated by the need to switch to the production of second-generation biofuels, which does not endanger food security.

FINANCIAL SECURITY OF STATE BUDGET INVESTMENT IN UKRAINE
Authors: Pantelyeyev Vitaliy
Published: October 2019

Introduction. Modern globalization processes form a number of challenges for Ukraine's financial security, especially in the budget segment. This situation is conditioned by the negative dynamics of the development of the social and economic sphere, which is expressed, in particular, in the "chronic" deficit of the state budget. It is the main threat to the financial security of the country. As a result, the problem of the effectiveness of state budget investment, which is the foundation of economic growth and social development, is emerging.
Purpose. The article aims to identify the main problems of functioning of state budget investment as an integral part of fiscal policy in the system of financial security of Ukraine.
Method (methodology). To achieve this goal, the following general scientific and special methods are used: method of induction and deduction, logical generalization method, method of analysis and synthesis, method of comparison, method of grouping, graphic methods.
Results. System of financial security has been characterized. Indicators of financial security of the state and its investment component have been analysed. The role of state budget investment in ensuring financial security of Ukraine has been explored. The system of state budget investment has been characterized. The actual problems and risks have been outlined on the way of its development. Means of effective use of budget funds of investment character have been offered.
IMPACT OF THE SUBJECTIVE FACTOR ON THE STABILITY OF UKRAINIAN BANKING SYSTEM
Authors: Pogorelenko Nataliia
Published: October 2019

Introduction. Proceeding from the axiomatic nature of the assertion that the system is stable only if both central bank and second-level banks are stable, the article focuses on the nature and connection between the general financial stability indicator (financial result) and particular banking groups: systemic (at the moment consists only of the state banks), banks with foreign capital and other banks.
This choice has an objective precondition, taking into consideration the difficulty in implementation of the author's approach because of the need to use a correct sample for calculations on one hand, and frequent methodological changes in statistical sources, on the other hand.
The obvious fact is that each of these banking groups has not only certain features of its own activities in the banking services market but also indirectly or even directly influences the functioning of the entire banking sector in Ukraine.
Purpose. The article aims to assess the qualitative impact of individual quantitative factors on the key indicator of the efficiency of banking institutions which is net profit (or loss), at the level of individual groups, as well as on the system as a whole.
Method (methodology). We build multifactor regression models to determine the dependency between net profit (loss) and various quantitative parameters that describe a particular banking group as well as banking system as a whole.
Results. The results of the research have clearly shown which of the factors can influence the financial outcome for outlined banking groups. We have also discovered additional quantitative factors of influence on the banking sector profit. These factors were not included into any of the models on the group level. This result vividly confirms the initial thesis about the complex nature of connection between quantitative factors of distinct banking groups and endpoint financial result of the banking system. It demands a deeper qualitative evaluation of efficiency of its functioning both on micro- and macroeconomic level.

Authors: Bui Yuliia
Published: October 2019

Introduction. The features of social innovations classification are investigated. It allows them to be identified among the whole set of innovations in the social sphere of public systems. The approach is based on the differentiation between the main features that are characteristic for the given type of innovation.
Purpose. The article aims to define the peculiarities of social innovations classification from a viewpoint of sustainable development for social and economic systems of different levels.
Results. The main features of social innovations classification in terms of sustainable development have been described. The differentiation of social innovations into "deterministic" and "veritable" considering the basic peculiarities of social and economic systems development has been suggested. It has been specified that deterministic social innovations relating to innovation-oriented social and economic systems arise as the positive externals in the result of introducing technical, technological, economic, environmental and other innovations, thus, “veritable” social innovations are generated exceptionally for public development. The generation of such types of social innovation is characterized by the prospect of economic potential of the social and economic system.

Though various works have been done for handling end-to-end congestion control in traditional wireless adhoc networks, they lead to abnormal delay in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN) due to the extra delaycaused by PU activities. While assigning channels along the route towards destination, channel availability, channel quality and channel switching delay should be considered. In this paper, we propose a Game theory based Channel Assignment and Load balancing(GTCALB) technique for multicast routing for CRAHN. In this technique, a channel matrix is constructed for each link with probability of channel availability, delay cost and channel quality. Then Game theory model is applied for each link in which a utility function is derived for each channel. Then the link with minimum overload is selected with a channel having maximum utility function. The proposed GTCALB technique is applied for each route, during the multicast route discovery. By NS2 simulation, it is shown that the GTCALB technique reduces the end-to-end delay and increases the throughput and packet delivery ratio for the constructed multicast routes.

Also, they are accountable for evaluating the qualifications of the candidates and assigned officers who serve as the electoral board who will proclaim the winner/s. The researcher applied the System Development Life Cycle in designing and developing the automated voting system using the development platform such as MySQL which serves as the database wherein it stores the data of election; Visual Basic 6.0 serves as the programming editor and Local Area Network (LAN), a network connection. The system was tested and implemented during the Student Supreme Council and Student Body Organization election in the year 2012 and 2013 applying the two level of security which is in the form of access code generated by the system and exported data from the registrar office as the basis and filters the qualified voters. During the testing and implementation, most voters from the agriculture found out that the system is less convenient compared to BSIT students who believed that the system is the most suitable method of voting. Regarding security, BS Agriculture students also think that the system is less secured, whereas the BS Fisheries voters emphasized that the system provides the high level of protection. In this manner, voting system addresses the problems encountered every election and designed a friendly-user interface for all kinds of users.

India has the second largest road network in the world, since the highway is wide open space there will not be any obstruction for the wind flow. When the vehicle is moving at a faster rate on a highway, the velocity of the wind on top of the vehicle will be high, which can be used to produce electricity. In this work, the possibility of harnessing wind energy on the top of a moving vehicle is proposed. According to the statistics, in India approximately 0.2 million buses & even more number of trucks will be plying on any given day. These vehicles can be used for generation of electricity by using a Wind Energy Conversion System .The vehicle is fitted with a chamber for airflow, chamber is further divided into channels. Each channel has a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) coupled to a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG), generating electricity and charging the battery bank. This stored energy can be used to run local loads such as the Air conditioner, instantaneously improving the fuel economy of the vehicle in turn reducing the carbon emission. For a non air conditioned vehicle, upon reaching the destination energy stored in the battery bank can be converted to AC and fed to the grid or can be used to run an e-scooter as plug & play battery thus promoting the use of e-vehicles.

Cement concrete is the most important construction material which is non-homogeneous in nature. Its strength depends on properties of its many constituent materials are diverse in nature. It is important to fix up exact proportions of these materials beforehand so that needed strength in concrete is obtained later on. Sufficient time is needed to check it by making trial mixes of concrete after fixing up the proportions by theoretical calculations and testing these trial mixes after 28 days. In this duration concreting work may be held up in the absence of a final approved mix in terms of quantities of various constituents of concrete. Use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) for the checking of design composition of fly ash blended cement concrete mixes which were designed as per Indian standard guidelines has been made. Prediction of strength of such mixes at a later date by ANN has also been explored in this study. Prediction results of ANNs come close to experimental values and reinforce the utility of ANNs in the area of use of civil engineering materials for improving efficiency in construction.

Soil is one of the most important components used in a variety of construction activities. The soil available in particular site may or not be suitable for the construction works mainly because of low bearing capacity. When soil is weak which creates many problems and it is difficult task for civil engineers to overcome this problems. In such case it is proposed to stabilize such soil so that it can be effectively used. There are various methods of soil stabilization such as physical stabilization, chemical stabilization etc. The present work is carried out to study the effect of industrial glass waste and Cashew nut shell-ash (CNSA) as a stabilizer in lateritic soil. The main objective of this study is to obtain a best percentage of Cashew nut shell ash and glass industry waste that can be added with locally available lateritic soil as a stabilizing agent for pavement sub-grades. The experimental program included grain-size analysis, specific gravity, heavy- compaction, unconfined compressive strength test (UCC) and California bearing ratio test (CBR) tests on soil mixture prepared with lateritic soil at various proportions of CNSA and glass industry waste (GIW). Specimens for CBR tests were prepared at optimum moisture content and soaked for 4 days before testing. From the experimental investigations, the optimum dosage of GIW and CNSA were obtained as dual blend of 2% GIW along with the addition of 4% CNSA by weight of the soil. But the result of this dosage is only a marginal improvement in the engineering properties of the soil. Thus, it can be concluded that there is no much effect of CNSA and GIW in the stabilization of the lateritic soil. However, if any a marginal improvement is expected, then it could be used as a stabilizer, since these two stabilizers are available in free of cost as they are the industrial by-products.

With fires raging throughout the Amazon forest and the spectre of climate change staring in the face of humanity, the world's most pressing issue today is mitigating the threat posed to the environment by man-made disasters. It is no surprise then that at global forums, world leaders are desperately trying to work together to devise methods of preserving biodiversity and mitigating environmental degradation. This paper looks at climate change and natural disasters in the Indian context by analysing a Malayalam film, Ottaal (The Trap), an adaptation of Vanka, one of the timeless works of Russian writer Anton Chekhov. The 18th century story has been retold by setting it in a small village in present-day Kerala. Ottaal is a realistic portrayal of the suffering of individuals who face the adverse effects of climate change. The film presents a snapshot of the Earth's climate crisis with global temperatures rising at an alarming pace, and glaciers disappearing quicker than ever. The paper also explores India's role in preventing the grim future that the human race faces. A country with a third of the world's population, India is an industrialised nation that accounts for two-thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions. The resulting global warming has troubled nature's rhythm, causing floods, droughts, extensive hunger, displacement, epidemics, and death. These negative impacts are borne mostly by vulnerable groups like the poor, Adivasis, Dalits, and women. This cruel reality exposes and invites us to perceive climate change politics as a social justice issue. The distinctive geographic location of India also makes it extremely susceptible to natural disasters and climate change. Temperature and rainfall patterns have been erratic in the recent past, resulting in natural calamities. The paper also defines vulnerable regions and communities, and proposes fresh policy initiatives that could assist in reducing the impacts and after-effects of disasters.
