Regional Regulation (PERDA) of Dharmasraya Regency Number 4 of 2009 concerning the Formation and Structuring of Nagari, one of the programs is the One Family One Bachelor (SKSS) assistance provided by the National Amil Zakat Agency (Baznas). This program aims to provide assistance so that the survival of the underprivileged can be overcome. Assistance provided by the government is educational assistance for families who have children during their education but cannot afford it in terms of costs. This One Family One Bachelor (SKSS) assistance is given to every sub-district in Dharmasraya, including Tiumang District which is one of the sub-districts in Dharmasraya Regency, West Sumatra Province. This program is intended to assist poor families in continuing their son's education to college level. Identification of prospective recipients of One Family One Bachelor (SKSS) assistance is obtained after a selection is made based on criteria that are in accordance with what is needed. The purpose of this study was to identify potential recipients of SKSS assistance in Tiumang District, Dharmasraya Regency. This research method uses data testing from Tiumang District, Dharmasraya Regency using the K-Means Cluster algorithm, which is to classify whether or not it is appropriate to receive the assistance. Based on the results of the identification using the K-means cluster, the grouping is feasible and not feasible. The amount of data used is 25 family data. The data used includes the criteria for the amount of parental income, the number of dependents of parents, the average value of the National Examination (UN), and memorizing the Koran. The results of the test showed that the eligible cluster 1 was 8 people, and the inappropriate cluster 2 was 17 people. So this research is very helpful in processing the determination of families who get Zakat to continue higher education
THE INFLUENCE OF GLOBALIZATION PROCESSES ON MODERN ECONOMIC SYSTEMS
Authors: TOMASHUK Inna
Published: June 2022

The article examines the features of the globalization process and reveals its essential characteristics. The positive and negative impact of globalization processes on the development of national economies is analyzed. It is pointed out that globalization, from the economic point of view, is characterized by increasing influence of external economic factors, where a single world market is formed, which dictates equal conditions for all its participants. It is emphasized that competition, which increases due to the introduction of advances in science and technology, accelerates production, generates new ideas for products and services, the formation of knowledge about the effective functioning of capital markets and technology. It is proved that the functioning of the national economy in the context of global world relations is largely reflected through international trade. Today, world trade is the most active form of international economic relations. It is pointed out that in the conditions of intensification of globalization processes the state economic policy should be formed in the direction of transition from export-oriented development strategy, where raw materials are dominant, to strategy of intra-oriented development with saturation of domestic consumer market. It is generalized that globalization as an objective process has a direct impact on the development of the national economy in general and the domestic consumer market in particular. It is emphasized that the essence of economic globalization is to strengthen the role of investment, industry, individuals and information. It is stated that international competition leads to contradictions between the national economies of different states. It is concluded that globalization and increasing international competition require new approaches to the development of national economies. The study of the essence of globalization was further developed and the need to develop appropriate concepts for the functioning of national economies in these conditions.

Authors: KOVAL Olena , BURKO Kateruna
Published: June 2022

New forms of management and growing information needs of the enterprise managers increase the role of management accounting tools to ensure the management decision-making process. The effectiveness of the introduction of management accounting in Ukrainian enterprises largely depends on the sectoral and technological features of the production activities.
The article analyzes the current state of beekeeping. It is established that Ukraine positions itself in the international community as a powerful producer and exporter of honey. Production is carried out by economic entities of various organizational and legal forms. The biological properties of bees determine the technology of production of various products and a significant number of objects of accounting. The main products are produced in a short period of time and are fit for consumption or for the further processing. To ensure the quality of beekeeping products on the market and increase its competitiveness, it is important to identify priority areas for improving management accounting in the system of methodological and information support of industry management. According to the results of the study, the distinctive features of management accounting and the tasks it solves in beekeeping are identified. Factors influencing the organization of management accounting are established. The authorʼs vision of directions of improvement of the administrative account for satisfaction of needs of management at various levels is formed.
The necessity of expanding the objects of management accounting and changing the approaches to cost accounting and calculating the cost of beekeeping products has been proved. The necessity of cost accounting for the main processes is substantiated and the accounts for their accounting are determined. An extended list of production cost items in beekeeping at the stage of primary production is proposed. The composition of costs for ensuring the quality of beekeeping products is determined.

Published: June 2022

The role of sudden application or removal of a porous material on generalized Couette flow in a horizontal channel is carried out. The governing momentum equation is obtained and solved with the necessary initial and boundary conditions. The well-known Laplace transform technique is employed to transform the PDEs into ODEs and then solved exactly in the Laplace domain. A numerical approximation based on the Riemann-sum is employed to transform the solutions obtained from the Laplace domain to the time domain. Based on the simulated results, it is found that the time taken to attain steady-state skin-friction and volumetric flow rate is strictly affected by the sudden application/withdrawal of porous medium. Also, despite the sudden application/withdrawal of porous medium, the velocities, skin-friction and volumetric flow-rates still attain steady state values.

The graded novelty encoding task: Novelty gradually improves recognition of visual stimuli under incidental learning conditions
Authors: Reichardt Richárd , Polner Bertalan , Simor Péter
Published: June 2022

It has been argued that novel compared to familiar stimuli are preferentially encoded into memory. Nevertheless, treating novelty as a categorical variable in experimental research is considered simplistic. We highlight the dimensional aspect of novelty and propose an experimental design that manipulates novelty continuously. We created the Graded Novelty Encoding Task (GNET), in which the difference between stimuli (i.e. novelty) is parametrically manipulated, paving the way for quantitative models of novelty processing. We designed an algorithm which generates visual stimuli by placing colored shapes in a grid. During the familiarization phase of the task, we repeatedly presented five pictures to the participants. In a subsequent incidental learning phase, participants were asked to differentiate between the “familiars” and novel images that varied in the degree of difference to the familiarized pictures (i.e. novelty). Finally, participants completed a surprise recognition memory test, where the novel stimuli from the previous phase were interspersed with distractors with similar difference characteristics. We numerically expressed the differences between the stimuli to compute a dimensional indicator of novelty and assessed whether it predicted recognition memory performance. Based on previous studies showing the beneficial effect of novelty on memory formation, we hypothesized that the more novel a given picture was, the better subsequent recognition performance participants would demonstrate. Our hypothesis was confirmed: recognition performance was higher for more novel stimuli. The GNET captures the continuous nature of novelty, and it may be useful in future studies that examine the behavioral and neurocognitive aspects of novelty processing.

Authors:   Luzin Institute for Economic Studies of Kola Science Centre of the Russian Academy of Science, Chapargina A.N.
Published: June 2022

The article discusses living conditions as one of the important social aspects related to the well-being and quality of life of the population. In the context of the modern trend of the aging of society, it is important to assess the living conditions of socially vulnerable groups, namely, people of retirement age. The assessment of the living conditions of pensioners is based on Rosstat analytical data and on the results of a representative survey of older people from the Federal State Statistics Service. The article assesses the composition of the population of the Arctic regions by age, analyzes the living conditions of pensioners and the migration mobility of the population over working age. The financial capabilities of pensioners were assessed. The study of the living conditions of pensioners in the Arctic regions allows focusing on the satisfaction of pensioners with their living conditions. It is shown that people of retirement age do not put living conditions among the main problems, and in most regions, they note satisfaction with rather modest living conditions.

Authors: Pimanov Dmitrii A , Frost Vladimir A , Blagodatkin Anton V , Gordeeva Anna V , Pankratov Andrey L , Kuzmin Leonid S
Published: June 2022

Electron on-chip cooling from the base temperature of 300 mK is very important for highly sensitive detectors operating in space due to problems of dilution fridges at low gravity. Electron cooling is also important for ground-based telescopes equipped with 3He cryostats, being able to function at any operating angle. This work is aimed at investigation of electron cooling in the low temperature range. New samples of cold-electron bolometers with traps and hybrid superconducting/ferromagnetic absorbers have shown a temperature reduction of the electrons in the refrigerator junctions from 300 to 82 mK, from 200 to 33 mK and from 100 to 25 mK in the idle regime without optical power load. The electron temperature was determined by solving heat balance equations with account of the leakage current, sixth power of temperature in the whole temperature range, and the Andreev current using numerical methods and automatic fitting algorithm.

The Signatures of Self-interacting Dark Matter and Subhalo Disruption on Cluster Substructure
Authors: Bhattacharyya Joy , Adhikari Susmita , Banerjee Arka , More Surhud , Kumar Amit , Nadler Ethan O. , Chatterjee Suchetana
Published: June 2022

The abundance, distribution, and inner structure of satellites of galaxy clusters can be sensitive probes of the properties of dark matter. We run 30 cosmological zoom-in simulations with self-interacting dark matter (SIDM), with a velocity-dependent cross section, to study the properties of subhalos within cluster-mass hosts. We find that the abundance of subhalos that survive in the SIDM simulations are suppressed relative to their cold dark matter (CDM) counterparts. Once the population of disrupted subhalos—which may host orphan galaxies—is taken into account, satellite galaxy populations in CDM and SIDM models can be reconciled. However, even in this case, the inner structures of subhalos are significantly different in the two dark matter models. We study the feasibility of using the weak-lensing signal from the subhalo density profiles to distinguish between the cold and self-interacting dark matter while accounting for the potential contribution of orphan galaxies. We find that the effects of self-interactions on the density profile of subhalos can appear degenerate with subhalo disruption in CDM, when orphans are accounted for. With current error bars from the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam Strategic Program, we find that subhalos in the outskirts of clusters (where disruption is less prevalent) can be used to constrain dark matter physics. In the future, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time will give precise measurements of the weak-lensing profile and can be used to constrain σ

A Spectroscopic Study of Blue Supergiant Stars in Local Group Spiral Galaxies: Andromeda and Triangulum
Authors: Liu Cheng , Kudritzki Rolf-Peter , Zhao Gang , Urbaneja Miguel A. , Huang Yang , Zhang Huawei , Zhao Jingkun
Published: June 2022

Low-resolution LAMOST and Keck spectra of blue supergiant stars distributed over the disks of the Local Group spiral galaxies M31 and M33 are analyzed to determine stellar effective temperatures, gravities, metallicities, and reddening. Logarithmic metallicities at the center of the galaxies (in solar units) of 0.30 ± 0.09 and 0.11 ± 0.04 and metallicity gradients of −0.37 ± 0.13 dex/R
25 and −0.36 ± 0.16 dex/R
25 are measured for M31 and M33, respectively. For M33 the 2D distribution of metallicity indicates a deviation from azimuthal symmetry with an off-center peak. The flux-weighted gravity−luminosity relationship (FGLR) of blue supergiant stars is used to determine a distance modulus of 24.51 ± 0.13 mag for M31 and 24.93 ± 0.07 mag for M33. For M31 the FGLR distance agrees well with other methods. For M33 the FGLR-based distance is larger than the distances from Cepheids studies, but it is in good agreement with work on eclipsing binaries, planetary nebulae, long-period variables, and the tip of the red giant branch.
Primula xinningensis (Primulaceae), a new species from karst caves in Hunan, China
Authors: Zhang Wei , Zhang Yu , Shao Jian Wen
Published: June 2022

Primula xinningensis Wei Zhang bis & J.W.Shao, a new species from Hunan Province, China, is described. Its leaf morphology is similar to the P. merrilliana complex and flower morphology similar to P. cicutariifolia, but it can be distinguished from the former by the black pollen sac, corolla lobes apex obviously emarginate and can be differed from the latter by cotyledon triangular obovate, plants densely covered with glandular hairs and special habitat (karst caves). The whole plastid genome of this new species is 151, 601–151, 630 bp in length. Based on the whole plastid genome sequences, phylogenetic trees revealed that the new species did not genetically relate to the above two mentioned morphologically similar species, but it was closely related to P. hubeiensis. Currently, only three populations were discovered within a small distribution area, thus, it is preliminarily considered as Vulnerable (VU) according to criteria of the IUCN Red List.

Published: June 2022

Cricket is one of the most popular international sports played worldwide. Ballistic six plyometric training improves throwing activity in throwing sports, improves rotator cuff muscular strength, and prevents and reduces the risk of shoulder injury associated with overhead pitching. Kinesiotaping is used in rehabilitation, as a treatment for sportsrelated injuries, and as a means of injury prevention. The objective of the study was to compare the combined effect of kinesiotaping with ‘ballistic six plyometric training’ and with ballistic six plyometric training alone on speed, accuracy, target and joint proprioception in fast bowlers with mild glenohumeral joint instability. Thirty male semiprofessional fast bowlers in the age group of 20-30 years were included in this study and randomly divided into two groups: group A and group B with 15 players in each group. Group A received kinesiotaping along with ballistic six plyometric training, whereas group B was only given ballistic six plyometric training. Both groups also performed conventional upper extremity workouts. All players were evaluated for bowling speed, accuracy, target and joint proprioception (internal rotation & external rotation) with a radar gun, cricket specific bowling accuracy test, no. of balls hit stump in an over and inclinometer, respectively. Both groups improved significantly at the end of week 8, however, group B showed significant difference for bowling speed, accuracy, target and joint proprioception (P<0.05). Rehabilitation protocol comprising of combined kinesiotaping, plyometrics along with conventional protocol can be beneficial in enhancing performance related variables, i.e. bowling speed, accuracy and target in fast bowlers with mild glenohumeral instability.
Regulation of gene expression in Nicotiana tabacum seedlings by the MKASAA peptide through DNA methylation via the RdDM pathway
Authors: Fedoreyeva Larisa I. , Dilovarova Tatiana A. , Vanyushin Boris F. , Chaban Inna A. , Kononenko Neonila V.
Published: June 2022

DNA methylation is involved in the protection of the genome, the regulation of gene expression, splicing, and is associated with a serious reprogramming of plant development. Using fluorescence microscopy, it was shown that the MKASAA peptide penetrates through the root system of Nicotiana tabacum tobacco, mainly into the cap, meristem, and elongation zones. In the cell, the peptide is localized mainly on the nuclei. In tobacco seedlings grown in the presence of the peptide at a concentration of 10–7 M, an increase in the expression of DNA methyltransferases, especially DRM2, which methylates previously unmethylated DNA sites, is observed. In the presence of the peptide in the roots and leaves of tobacco, the level of global DNA methylation increases. An increase in DNA methylation occurs via the RdDM pathway. Presumably, the peptide binds to siRNAs, forming giant particles that remodulate chromatin and facilitate the entry of DNA methyltransferases. An increase in the level of DNA methylation is accompanied by silencing of the genes of the GRF, KNOX, and EXP families. Suppression of gene expression of these families is accompanied by significant morphological changes in tobacco seedlings. Thus, the short exogenous MKASAA peptide is involved in global morphological and genetic changes in tobacco seedlings.
Vitamin D Deficiency and Comorbidities as Risk Factors of COVID-19 Infection: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Mishra Pinki , Parveen Rizwana , Bajpai Ram , Agarwal Nidhi
Published: June 2022

Objectives: Extensive evidence links low vitamin D status and comorbidities with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes, but the results of published studies are contradictory. Therefore, we investigated the association of lower levels of vitamin D and comorbidities with the risk of COVID-19 infection.Methods: We searched MEDLINE (via PubMed), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov for articles published until August 20, 2021. Sixteen eligible studies were identified (386 631 patients, of whom 181 114 were male). We included observational cohort and case-control studies that evaluated serum levels of vitamin D in COVID-19-positive and COVID-19-negative patients. Mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.Results: Significantly lower vitamin D levels were found in COVID-19-positive patients (MD, -1.70; 95% CI, -2.74 to -0.66; p=0.001), but with variation by study design (case-control: -4.04; 95% CI, -5.98 to -2.10; p<0.001; cohort: -0.39; 95% CI, -1.62 to 0.84; p=0.538). This relationship was more prominent in female patients (MD, -2.18; 95% CI, -4.08 to -0.28; p=0.024) than in male patients (MD, -1.74; 95% CI, -3.79 to 0.31; p=0.096). Male patients showed higher odds of having low vitamin D levels (odds ratio [OR], 2.09; 95% CI, 1.38 to 3.17; p<0.001) than female patients (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 0.74 to 1.86; p=0.477). Comorbidities showed inconsistent, but generally non-significant, associations with COVID-19 infection.Conclusions: Low serum vitamin-D levels were significantly associated with the risk of COVID-19 infection. This relationship was stronger in female than in male COVID-19 patients. Limited evidence was found for the relationships between comorbidities and COVID-19 infection, warranting large population-based studies to clarify these associations.

Authors: Tomlin Antione D.
Published: June 2022

This chapter will explore the experiences of a Black, male, full-time, tenure-track faculty member at a community college. The chapter will delve into his experiences as a Black faculty in part-time (adjunct positions) and his current full-time tenure-track faculty position. There is no doubt that as a Black man in America, he is fighting two pandemics right now, that is, COVID-19 and racism, and this is top of mind for him as he frames this chapter. With a focus on race and gender, this chapter examines his challenges and successes as a Black man who teaches. Additionally, it shares the importance of protecting space and time as a Black academic to prevent burnout. Lastly, this chapter will provide strategies that would be helpful to Black academics and administration that can help one to cope with challenges before situations occur.
The Clash Between Human Rights and Morality
Authors: Arimoro Augustine Edobor
Published: June 2022

In countries where same-sex relationships are criminalised, the rights of LGBT persons are not considered human rights. This clash between human rights and criminal law on the one hand, and the clash between morality (and/or culture) and human rights, on the other hand, has been the subject of debates in the last 10 years. Given the argument to consider sexual minority rights as not human rights in several commonwealth states, this chapter adopts the doctrinal method of legal research to examine the rationale put forward for continued criminalisation and politicisation of sex or love amongst persons of the same gender in certain jurisdictions. The argument here is that without an understanding of why society attaches moral values to certain laws, change is difficult to implement.

Published: June 2022

According to recent findings, deep learning algorithm outperforms in many tasks like image classification, image segmentation, image recognition, etc. in the field of computer vision. With the help of deep learning, classification tasks on remote sensing image data can attain better performance compared to traditional approaches. This chapter primarily demonstrates how residual neural networks are used to classify satellite images of cyclones in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and the Arabian Sea (Arab Sea). The authors further discovered the cyclones' locations and investigated using satellite images in the infrared and visible bands of electromagnetic spectrum. From the evaluation metrics, the neural network looks to be capable of correctly identifying the cyclonic storm utilising Gradient Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM). Satellite images of both cyclone storm and non-cyclone storm are analysed for cyclonic storm recognition and classification.

This chapter aims to analyze the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the hospitality sector according to the global code of ethics for tourism (GCET) and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), defined in the Agenda 2030. To achieve this objective, a literature review was carried out about the concepts of sustainability and CSR in the hospitality sector and their close interconnection with the GCET and the SDGs. Literature put in evidence that the adoption of sustainable practices, and specifically of CSR, increases hotels competitiveness and differentiation. On the other hand, bureaucratic, organizational, and legal aspects were identified as the main obstacles in the implementation of CSR measures in hotels. Finally, some theoretical and practical implications are presented in the main dimensions of CSR in hotels, as identified in the scope of GCET and SDG: customer loyalty, promotion of organizational citizenship behaviors, and corporate financial performance.
Institutional Capacity Building Toward the Sustainability of Ocean Science in Light of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Hollela Veronica Robins , Rocha Ana
Published: June 2022

Abstract Plastic litter in places like Tanzania comes from the unregulated production of single-use plastic products and the legal and illegal dumps located at riverbanks or near the coast (Nipe Fagio, 2021). This pollution is dangerous to human health as well as to the species
in the ocean. Oceans are fundamental in controlling the earth's climate. If the ocean is polluted, an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and acidification in the ocean will accelerate, which will result in sea-level rise causing disastrous consequences (Lukambuzi, 2006).This
calls for a sound environmental response to the pandemic in connection with research on ocean science. Formulating our laws and policies in response to this is vital, and therefore, institutions need capacity building to work on the matter at hand. Government officers, law, and policymakers
need to be reminded, trained, and sensitized on the importance of formulating good laws and policies that protect our ocean from pollution. These are key players in the immediate and long-term recovery efforts from the environmental impact of COVID-19 because they have the power to enact laws
and oversee government policies.

Authors: Matsumoto George I. , Johnson Kenneth S. , Riser Steve , Talley Lynne , Wijffels Susan , Hotinski Roberta
Published: June 2022

Abstract The Global Ocean Biogeochemistry (GO-BGC) Array is a project funded by the US National Science Foundation to build a global network of chemical and biological sensors on Argo profiling floats. The network will monitor biogeochemical cycles and ocean health. The floats
will collect from a depth of 2,000 meters to the surface, augmenting the existing Argo array that monitors ocean temperature and salinity. Data will be made freely available within a day of being collected
via the Argo data system. These data will allow scientists to pursue fundamental questions concerning ocean ecosystems, monitor ocean health and productivity, and observe the elemental cycles of carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen through all seasons of the year. Such essential data are needed to
improve computer models of ocean fisheries and climate, to monitor and forecast the effects of ocean warming and ocean acidification on sea life, and to address key questions identified in “Sea Change: 2015‐2025 Decadal Survey of Ocean Sciences” such as: What is the ocean's
role in regulating the carbon cycle? What are the natural and anthropogenic drivers of open ocean deoxygenation? What are the consequences of ocean acidification? How do physical changes in mixing and circulation affect nutrient availability and ocean productivity?
