Published: February 2023

This paper deals  with  the  estimation  of  the  social  benefits  accuring  from  the  Sultanpur  National  Park,  Haryana. Sultanpur National Park is  an  important  wetland  located  about 50  km away  from  Delhi.  Both  foreign  and  domestic visitors arrive at the Park for bird watching and recreational purpose. Economic valuation of  the  Park  was  done  by ascertaining the Willingness to  Pay  of the  visitors  by  asking questions  to them.  The  results obtained  indicated that  the social benefits accuring from the Park are far  in  excess  of  the  maintenance  cost  of  the  Park  even  though  the  direct benefits to the Park are quite less. It can be said that the society values the Park highly as a place for recreation and as environmental resource.

Authors: Kumar Pramod , Naveed A. , B.B. Hosseti
Published: February 2023

Three mound building termites, viz., Odontotermes wallonensis, Odontotermes obesus and Odontotermes redemanni Roomwal and Chhotani (1960), were identified from Kuvempu University campus, Jnana Sahyadri and adjacent Bhadra reservoir area. The shape of the mound of O.obesus was conical and extended vertically, consisting of one or more hallow conical turrets erected on the surface of the ground. Royal chamber in the mounds was usually placed at the base just beneath the fungus garden. The structure of mound of O. wallonensis was dome shaped with one or more turrets extended horizontally the wall of the turret was thin and smooth. The shape of the turrets were more in number, scattered on the ground with numerous vaults. In the established old mounds the fungus garden was enclosed in the vaults. The shape of the fungus garden was dome shaped and its colour was blackish-brown. The location of the royal chamber was excentric.The mound of O. redemanni was dome shaped with one or more turrets extended horizontally, low in height without any buttresses. The outer mound wall was thick, solid and devoid of openings. The fungus garden was situated in separate chambers which served as egg depository. A well developed royal chamber was located below the ground level. The occurrence and distribution of termites and their mounds in the area revealed that the rich humidity and cellulose material available supported the high density of termites.

Search engine manipulation to spread pro-Kremlin propaganda
Authors: Williams Evan M. , Carley Kathleen M.
Published: February 2023

The Kremlin’s use of bots and trolls to manipulate the recommendation algorithms of social media platforms is well-documented by many journalists and researchers. However pro-Kremlin manipulation of search engine algorithms has rarely been explored. We examine pro-Kremlin attempts to manipulate search engine results by comparing backlink and keyphrase networks of US, European, and Russian think tanks, as well as Kremlin-linked “pseudo” think tanks that target Western audiences. Our evidence suggests that pro-Kremlin pseudo-think tanks are being artificially boosted and co-amplified by a network of low-quality websites that generate millions of backlinks to these target websites. We find that Google’s search algorithm appears to be penalizing Russian and pseudo-think tank domains.
Modelling the Tourism Revenue of Türkiye Using Deep Learning Networks
Authors: Tuncsiper Cagatay
Published: February 2023

The gross domestic product of countries plays a key role in the development and wealth of nations. There are several components of the gross domestic product, such as industrial revenue, revenue from services, and tourism revenue. Türkiye is located in Anatolia, which is very rich from a historical viewpoint. Therefore, Türkiye attracts tourists from all over the world, making its tourism revenue an important contributor to its gross domestic product. This study aimed to model the tourism revenue of Türkiye using machine learning methods. In this study, the tourism revenue of Türkiye, dependent on the number of tourists, oil prices, and the exchange rate, are modelled for the period of 2008-2022. The data of these variables were taken from official sources, and then the causality analyses were carried out. As the next step, the tourism revenue is modelled as a function of the number of tourists, oil prices, and the exchange rate. A deep learning network is developed using the Python programming language for modelling the tourism revenue. The developed deep learning network is then trained using a portion of the data. The performance of the developed deep learning network is then evaluated using the performance metrics such as the coefficient of determination, mean absolute error, root means square error, and the mean absolute percentage error. These metrics show that the developed deep learning network successfully models the tourism revenue dependent on the number of tourists, oil prices, and the exchange rate.

Authors: Sakwa Suleiman Eshikumo , Mugwe Mary Chui
Published: February 2023

Does the school principal’s strategy for a good working environment affect teacher performance? This study sought to answer the question by exploring the data from Mumias East Sub-County, Kakamega county, Kenya. A mixed methodology which entailed gathering quantitative and qualitative data on strategies of teacher working environment against each of the teacher performance aspects comprising of teacher lesson attendance, students mean scores and TPAD scores, was used. Also, A cross-sectional descriptive study design was adopted. To gather data, the instruments used comprised sampling of secondary data, individual in-person interviews for quality assurance officers, sub-county directors, and school principals, student questionnaires and teacher questionnaires. Collected data was then analysed using linear regression, averages, percentiles, and standard deviations. It was discovered that as earlier studies showed the impact of certain working conditions, like the school compound's lighting and facilities, on teacher performance, this research confirmed the impact of security aspects and workload management strategies on teacher performance. Additionally, from the data gathered, principals were implementing various strategies to improve the teacher’s working environment, and the extent of use of the various strategies affected teachers’ performance. For instance, it was discovered that there was a medium correlation between lesson attendance and recovery (adjusted R2 = 0.049135, at F = 0.001214, p = 0.001, and t = 38.31412), low correlation with the students' means scores (adjusted R2 =0.060101, at F = 0.000325, p = 0.001, and t = 10.86456) little correlation with TPAD scores (adjusted R2 = 0.041847, at F = 0.002887, p = 0.001, and t = 37.73538). After a comparison of data analysed using various instruments, the principals’ strategies for the working environment were established to affect teacher performance. The most affecting factors are highlighted in the summary and conclusions.
ЗБІЛЬШЕННЯ ЗАПАСІВ ПРОДУКТИВНОЇ ВОЛОГИ У ҐРУНТІ ЗАЛЕЖНО ВІД МІКОРИЗАЦІЇ КОРЕНЕВОЇ СИСТЕМИ РОСЛИН СІЛЬСЬКОГОСПОДАРСЬКИХ КУЛЬТУР МІКОРИЗОУТВОРЮЮЧИМИ ГРИБАМИ

Як відомо, нижні горизонти ґрунту зволожуються завдяки осіннім і зимовим опадам, а верхні – завдяки літніх, які за наявності високих температур повітря інтенсивно випаровуються. У ґрунті залишається лише 30–50% вологи від тієї кількості, яка нагромаджується в ньому завдяки опадам, а в гостро посушливі роки цей відсоток зазвичай може бути значно меншим. У зв’язку із цим однією з головних проблем у землеробстві є збереження та раціональне використання запасів продуктивної вологи. Мета досліджень – з’ясувати вплив мікоризації кореневої системи рослин сільськогосподарських культур мікоризоутворювальними грибами на формування запасу продуктивної вологи у верхньому шарі ґрунту. Польові, лабораторні та статистичні методи досліджень. За використання мікоризоутворювальних грибів отримано позитивні результати щодо їхнього впливу на формування запасу продуктивної вологи в шарі ґрунту 0–30 см. Зокрема, у посівах пшениці м’якої озимої та кукурудзи звичайної у варіантах із грибами Tuber melanosporum VITTAD (препарат Міковітал) і Trichoderma harzianum RIFAI (препарат Мікофренд) у різні терміни вегетації рослин (30, 60, 90 і 120 днів) запас продуктивної вологи в шарі ґрунту 0–30 см був на 5,3–47,8% більший, ніж у контролі. Таке зростання цього показника стало можливим завдяки збільшенню маси кореневої системи цих культур за її мікоризації, яка в рослин пшениці м’якої озимої була на 13,7–83,2%, а в рослин кукурудзи звичайної на 21,1–130,1% більшою, ніж у контролі. Накопичення більшої маси продуктивної вологи у ґрунті у варіантах із мікоризою порівняно з контролем відбувається завдяки здатності грибів створювати масу тонких абсорбуючих гіфів, які проникають у найдрібніші пори землі та збільшують таким чином поглинання поживних речовин і вологи. Мікоризоутворювальні гриби сприяють накопиченню запасів продуктивної вологи у верхньому шарі ґрунту завдяки збільшенню маси кореневої системи рослин сільськогосподарських культур і формуванню абсорбційних ниткоподібних гіфів, які проникають у найменші пори землі.
MODEL OF SENSITIVITY CATTLE TO MASTITIS ON THE BASIS OF LYMPHOCYTIC AND MOLECULAR GENETIC MARKERS

Published: February 2023

Mastitis of cows causes significant harm to dairy farming, a susceptibility to which is partly determined by genetic factors. Therefore, identifying the susceptibility or resistance of cows to mastitis at an early stage of postnatal ontogenesis has both practical and scientific importance. In this work, we examined a model grounded on the collegial use of lymphocyte antigens class I MHC cattle and DNA markers based on alleles BoLA-DRB3 gene to identify the sensitivity of heifers to mastitis to their use in a milking herd. On the data of testing of 649 cows of the Ukrainian black-and-white breed, the antigens of histocompatibility were revealed, and the statusmetric model facilitated determining the integral estimation of sensitiveness (Z) to mastitis was constructed. The greater the positive Z value, the higher the predicted resistance to mastitis and vice versa. The model yields 69.2% correct mastitis susceptibility decisions based on 17 class I antigens (antigens W2, W6, W31, W14, W19, W15, A9, A12, A13 and A24 indicate susceptibility and W10, A1, A3, A6, A16, A17 and A22 – indicate resistance to the disease). Some exon 2 alleles of the BoLA-DRB3 gene were found to be associated with mastitis. For 162 cows from the preliminary sample DRB3.2*18, *24, *26 and *48 alleles characterize susceptibility to mastitis, and BoLA-DRB3.2*08, *13 and *22 – characterize resistance to the disease. A comparative analysis of the association of lymphocyte and DNA-markers was performed by comparing the diagnosis, status score, and the presence of associated alleles in the genotype. Two of the four possible variants unambiguously indicate the immune status of the cow: – diagnosis and integral score (by sign) coincide, and there is an allele in the genotype that coincides with the established diagnosis (65,7%); – diagnosis and integral score sign do not coincide, and there is a DNA marker in the genotype that coincides with the immune status of the animal by Z (13,3%). For 83 animals out of 105 in which DNA markers were detected, the immune status established by the statusmetric model was confirmed, for a total of 79%. The accuracy in predicting the susceptibility of cows to mastitis increased by 9.8%. Following the obtained results, the model for predicting sensitivity of heifers of Ukrainian black-and-white breed to mastitis at the stage of early postembryonic ontogenesis has been proposed. The model is universal and can be applied to different cattle breeds after appropriate research.

Для підтримки росту і розвитку поросят необхідна певна кількість поживних речовин, які вони отримують з молоком свиноматки, та підгодівля кормами з високим вмістом енергії. Період відлучення поросят від свиноматок також є стресовим у технології виробництва свинини у промислових умовах і потребує значної підтримки та застосування мінераловмісних і антиоксидантних препаратів для поросят. Такі препарати мають містити вітаміни та мікроелементи в біологічно активній формі. Серед таких препаратів є нанопрепарати вітамінів і мікроелементів. Використання їх у тій формі, у якій вони містяться та функціонують в організмі – у формі карбоксилатів харчових кислот, насамперед у вигляді цитратів, які в разі знаходження у клітині безпосередньо беруть участь у циклі Кребса.

У статті наведено результати польових досліджень з вивчення впливу ґрунтової вологи на врожайність рослин цикорію коренеплідного та визначення вмісту форм води в рослинах на різних за родючістю ґрунту ділянках із внесенням органічних добрив 20 т/га. Установлено, що за найбільш інтенсивного росту та розвитку рослин на удобрених ділянках упродовж вегетаційного періоду накопичували у ґрунті більш високий відсоток загальної та вільної води і менше зв’язаної, порівняно з ділянками, де не вносили органічних добрив. За вмістом загальної води в рослинах різниця була незначною, особливо в денні години. Отже, внесення органічних добрив у ґрунт під цикорій коренеплідний з метою одержання високої врожайності дає можливість краще зберегти у ґрунті ґрунтову вологу, що надалі впливає на врожайність культури.

Реакцію організму в разі будь-якого захворювання оцінюють не тільки за клінічними ознаками, але й за результатами досліджень біологічних субстратів організму. У процесі вивчення основних гематологічних показників собак, клінічно хворих на інфекційні патології травного тракту, виявлено помірну еритроцитопенію, стійку лейкоцитопенію, олігохромемію, гіпопротеїнемію, зниження кольорового показника крові, гематокритної величини та збільшення ШОЕ. Показники лейкограми свідчать про розвиток помірної нейтрофілії, чітко вираженої лімфоцитопенії, що призводить до виникнення імуносупресії, більш важкому перебігу хвороби. Копрограма собак із гострим перебігом інфекційних ентеропатій характеризувалась підвищеним вмістом білка, стеркобіліногену, білірубіну, неперетравленого крохмалю, мил і нейтрального жиру. Отже, зміни гематологічних показників і копрограми за інфекційних патологій травного тракту собак об’єктивно треба брати до уваги під час вибору терапевтичних засобів із метою ефективного їх лікування.
Fire Losses and Conflicting Judicial Rulings Over Whether Property Insurers Must Indemnify Insureds and Pay Third-Party Claims - Some Implications for Wildfire Litigation in Texas's Courts
Authors: Rice Willy E.
Published: February 2023

This essay has two purposes. First, it is designed to highlight some of the issues and principles that have influenced historically whether state and federal courts will order property insurers to indemnify insureds after a fire destroys the latter's commercial and/or residential property. The second purpose is to find a plausible answer to the implied, duty-to-pay question that appears in Ryan v. New York Central R.R. Company: whether liability insurers must pay proceeds to cover third-party, fire-loss claims, if a fire (1) ignites on an insured's property, (2) spreads, (3) evolves into a "wildfire," and (4) eviscerates third-party claimants' structures and personalty.
The Tension Between Transparency and Public Appeasement in the Formulation of Wildfire Management Strategies and the Use of Wildfire as a Restoration Tool
Authors: Salcido Rachael E.
Published: February 2023

In this essay I explore how the Healthy Forests Restoration Act 2003 ("HFRA") and development of a National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy pursuant to the Federal Land Assistance, Management and Enhancement Act 2009 ("FLAME") purchased peace with WUI landowners. These laws emphasized "fire-adapted communities" and potentially signaled acceptance of (or normalizing) development in areas of high fire danger. By emphasizing risk reduction narrowly, we may have missed an opportunity to advance broader restoration objectives connected to bringing fire back to fire-adapted landscapes.
Wildfire Policy, Climate Change, and the Law
Authors: Keiter Robert B.
Published: February 2023

This essay will first briefly review the evolution of federal wildfire law and policy. It will then examine the relationship between climate change and wildfire, including potential legal and policy implications. Next, it will identify and explore how adaptation and mitigation strategies might be employed to address the growing climate-related wildfire risk. This entails reviewing the wildland-urban interface problem and risk reduction policies designed to protect human lives and property. It also entails examining the impact climate change and enhanced fire regimes will have on natural resource management policy and strategy. The essay concludes with brief observations on how law and policy might better address and accommodate the fire-related challenges that loom as the climate continues to warm.
РОЗВИТОК ІНТЕЛЕКТУ І СУБ’ЄКТНОСТІ СУЧАСНОГО ФАХІВЦЯ

Показано, що розвиток інтелекту і суб’єктності у дорослому віці є провідною засадою професійного становлення сучасного фахівця. Цьому сприяє інтегративний інтелект, який ґрунтується на системі когніцій та інтелектуальних метакогніцій, серед яких інтелектуальна ініціація, тобто здатність фахівця самостійно вбачати проблемну ситуацію у потоці діяльності, а також рефлексія, децентрація, стратегічність. З високим рівнем інтелектуальної ініціації найтісніше пов’язана суб’єктність фахівця, його самостійний погляд на світ і власну активність, здатність до цілепокладання, творчого проєктування власної діяльності і життєдіяльності. Рефлексія як інтелектуальна метакогніція сприяє побудові й розвитку адекватної ментальної моделі фахівця (тобто системи професійних ставлень до світу, інших та себе), а децентрація не дає можливості цій ментальній моделі втратити здатність до саморозвитку. Стратегічність як інтелектуальна метакогніція впливає на всі професійні ситуації, які містять необхідність вибору, тому розвинена інтелектуальна стратегічність поряд з проаналізованими вище метакогніціями разом із суб’єктністю як особистісною властивістю відповідають за професійний розвиток особистості.

Yellow Colour in English and Russian Fairy-Tale Discourse: Semantics and Functioning
Authors: Левицкий А.Э. , Никульшина Т.Н.
Published: February 2023

В статье выявляются семантические и лингвокультурные особенности желтого цвета в английском и русском сказочных дискурсах. Составлен корпус эмпирического материала и осуществлена его семантическая классификация; определены изоморфные и алломорфные особенности желтого цвета в дискурсе английских и русских сказок. Для комплексного и системного исследования использованы методы: описательный, словарных дефиниций, сопоставительный, а также методы компонентного, лингвокультурологического, этимологического, семантического и количественного анализа. Предложенные методы исследования позволяют системно описать анализируемый материал и вносят вклад в разработку методики реконструкции цветового фрагмента сказочной картины мира. Желтый цвет употребляется для объективации тематических блоков природа, человек и сверхъестественное. Выделенные блоки не совпадают в двух языках, разница заключается в особенностях их внутренней тематической классификации, количественном наполнении и специфике функционирования в английском и русском сказочных дискурсах.

The article deals with the identification of semantic and linguocultural features of yellow colour in English and Russian fairy tale discourses. The novelty of the paper lies within the contrastive analysis of the verbalization of yellow designations viewed through ethnic and cultural traditions of the English and the Russians. The authors compiled the empirical material and classified it on the semantic ground; as well as determined general and specific features of yellow in the discourse of English and Russian fairy tales. Such methods as descriptive, componential analysis, dictionary definitions, linguocultural, semantic analysis, the contrastive and quantitative analysis prove their efficiency for providing a study of yellow color designations. The proposed research methods describe the material analyzed and contribute to the development of a technique for reconstructing colour notion in English and Russian fairy-tale disourse. The colour designation objectifies the natural, human and supernatural topical domains. The above domains do not coincide in two languages: the difference lies in the specificities of their internal thematic classification, quantitative aspect and functioning in English and Russian. The role of yellow designations is more diverse and representative in the English fairy tale discourse if compared with the Russian one to reveal the national traditions of these peoples.

В статье анализируются способы перевода деонтических высказываний из произведений В. В. Личутина и Ф. А. Абрамова на английский язык, представленные в ряде переводных изданий 1970–1990-х годов. К деонтическим высказываниям в данных произведениях относятся высказывания-императивы, включающие глаголы в повелительном наклонении, а также структуры, в которых деонтическую семантику несет предикат в форме наречия, краткого прилагательного или глагола. Наблюдения, сделанные в ходе исследования, позволяют сделать вывод о том, что, несмотря на существование определенных закономерностей и устойчивых соответствий в лексико-грамматических средствах выражения деонтической модальности в русском и английском языках, на выбор способов передачи деонтической модальности высказывания при переводе художественного произведения влияет знание переводчиком сюжета произведения и его полного текста, позволяющее интерпретировать то или иное высказывание в сторону большей или меньшей степени интенсивности деонтичности, ее нейтрализации или смены деонтического источника.

This article analyzes cases of translation of deontic utterances from the literary works of V. V. Lichutin and F. A. Abramov into English as presented in various publications of the 1970–1990 time period. These deontic utterances are represented by imperative utterances formed by the means of using verbs in imperative mood and those where deontic meaning is provided by the predicate in a form of an adverb, short adjective or a verb. Observations made during the study of the original and translated texts allow for a conclusion that, although there are certain consistent patterns and concordances in the lexical and grammatical means of expressing deontic modality in Russian and English languages, the translator’s choice for rendering a particular deontic meaning of an utterance within the context of a literary work is also affected by the knowledge of the whole plot of a fictional story, which allows them to interpret an utterance in the direction of strengthening,weakening or neutralizing its deontic meaning or changing its deontic source.

Review question / Objective: Do patients with inflammatory bowel disease and treated with any anti-TNFα drug who had the HLA-DQA1*05 allele (in heterozygosis or homozygosis) have lower response or persistence to those drugs than patients without HLA-DQA1*05 allele? Condition being studied: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which includes Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a chronic inflammatory condition that may affect any part of the digestive tract (CD) or be limited to the colon (UC). While the specific aetiology of IBD remains unknown, it is believed to involve a complex impairment in the immunity of the gut mucosa due to a combination of several genetic and environmental factors, being the microbiota one of the latest that more attraction has received in recent years. Symptoms of IBD (such as abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fever, tiredness or rectal bleeding) may be either constant or alternate between periods of limited disease activity and flares with remarkable presence of symptoms. As IBD is associated with significant morbidity and disability, pharmacological treatment is required in most cases, especially in CD, aimed at reducing the inflammatory response and attenuating the activity of the immune system. In the moderate and severe forms of the disease, therapy is usually based on immunosuppressant and/or biological drugs. Among the latest, anti-TNFα drugs (infliximab or adalimumab) are normally chosen as the initial biological therapy.

ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT OF RURAL WOMEN UNDER MGNREGA
Authors: Meitei Pangambam Devkanta
Published: February 2023

The dignity of the women and their strengthening position in society could be secure when they have sound economic empowerment. Their decision–making power, potential, commitment, and the right to compete with other genders with equality could also be ensured when they have economic support through income generation projects. Therefore, the study examined the economic empowerment of rural women under MGNREGA. It also reviewed the constraints of women as a labourer, and their status under the Act. Relevant literature like journal, thesis, guidelines of the Act and news reports were used to analyze the study's various aspects using the descriptive method. It was found that the majority of the women in the rural areas depend on the wages they earn from unskilled, casual, and manual work. As most of these jobs are unstable and insecure, workers fought hardship in their families' maintenance during the lockdown. If the government fails to create job opportunities during and after the pandemic Covid-19, poverty and unemployment will lead to dislocation, conflict, alcohol abuse, household disputes, unsettled families, ill-health, abandonment in old age, and death of the head of household, etc. could happen. The most significant outcome of the study is that MGNREGA could play an influential role in the economic empowerment of rural women. It remains a set piece to bring gender equality, end poverty, and achieve inclusive economic growth. A self-sufficient economy with dignity and equality could end all the inhumane acts against women. However, effective implementation of the Act, timely utilisation of wages, and wages revision from time to time to suit the changing scenario is needed to make the Act a subject-oriented one.
