The Call of the Great Indoors
Authors: Radice Martha
Published: May 2022

In February-March, 2021, Hermes, a gallery in Halifax, Nova Scotia about the size of two large living rooms showed an exhibition called ESCAPE / The Great Indoors. Curated by Halifax’s then Young Curator Liuba González de Armas, the exhibition brought together “cozy, bright, and colourful explorations of domestic space by four emerging artists” working with textiles, painting, installation, and social practice. In this piece, I explore ESCAPE / The Great Indoors through interviews with the curator and one of the artists, its written documentation, and my responses to the pieces. The exhibition’s playful retreat into the inner sanctums of our homes—our bathrooms, bedsides, and bellies—seems to be a panacea for the agoraphobic times of the pandemic. However, it also presents a soft pandemic politics, playful but stitched through with threads of both anxiety and solidarity. The curator’s statement stresses the social over the solo: “the artists draw meaning from connections with themselves, others, culture, and the more-than-human.” ESCAPE / The Great Indoors folds back the screen around private space to invite the public in to listen to the artists’ stories and call up their own.

Published: May 2022

Carbohydrate (CHO) consumption contributes to minimizing muscular and hepatic glycogen stores during long-distance running. Coinciding with fatigue onset and performance decline, a decrease in the amount of carbohydrates affects performance in runners adversely. Accordingly, the effect of three CHO diets (30%, 60%, and 80%) were each analyzed for seven days on amateur runners’ 5 km performance. Ten amateur male runners (36.4 ± 12.7 years, 175 ± 4.5 cm, 70.2 ± 6.31 kg) performed a pretest and three running tests. Body mass was assessed before and after exercise. Pacing and time were measured for each kilometer in all the research phases. Two-way Anova repeated measures were employed to analyze the data. In the pretest, the CHO intake results revealed 4.20 ± 1.86 g/kg. In the 30% diet, CHO consumption was 30.80 ± 1.07% or 2.20 ± 0.42 g/kg; in the 60% diet, 59.34 ± 0.82% or 4.24 ± 0.82 g/kg; and in the 80% diet, 77.79 ± 1.00 % or 5.56 ± 4.15 g/kg. All analyses showed no significant difference among the CHO diets. However, in the 80% protocol, time improved by 2.30% in comparison to the 30% diet and the pretest. Our results revealed that changing dietary CHO in comparison to a runner’s usual intake did not improve their athletic performance.
Köprülüzade Abdullah Paşa ve El Yazması Divanının Muhtevası
Authors: İYİŞENYÜREK Orhan
Published: May 2022

Osmanlılar Dönemi’nde Arap dili ve edebiyatına yapılan katkılar üzerine yapılan çalışmalar genelde Osmanlıların medreselerde verdikleri Arap dili grameri ve belagati eğitimi üzerine yoğunlaşmıştır. Ancak Osmanlı ilim adamlarının Arap şiiri alanında da bazı eserler ortaya koydukları görülmektedir. Söz konusu dönemde Arap şiiri ve edebiyatı alanında yapılan çalışmaların gün yüzüne çıkarılması son yıllarda artarak devam etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, bir dönem Osmanlı idaresine damgasını vurmuş hem ilme hem de devlete hizmet eden Köprülüler sülalesine mensup, Arapça bir divan telif etmiş bir şair, bir kıraat âlimi ve bir Osmanlı Paşası olan Köprülü Abdullah Paşa(öl. 1148/1735) ve onun şiir divanının muhteviyatı incelenmiştir. Şairin divanı çeşitli kütüphanelerde yazma halinde bulunmaktadır. Abdullah Paşa’nın şiiri ve yazma halindeki divanı üzerine yapılmış bir çalışmaya rastlanılmamıştır. Şair, ailesi sebebiyle iyi bir eğitim almış, Arapların yaşadığı coğrafyalarda görev yapmış özellikle de Mısır’da vali olduğu dönemde Ezher ulemasından yararlanmış ve klasik Arap edebiyatında ele alınan konular hakkında şiirler söylemiştir. Bu tür araştırmaların Osmanlılar döneminde Arapçanın çöküş yaşadığı iddialarına karşı yapılan çalışmalara da bir katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
Image, Attachment, Perceived Value and Tourist Behavior in Heritage Tourism: A Study of Wuyishan, China
Authors: Chang Wen-Jung , Yin Jie , Katrichis Jerome M. , Chang Chiung-Yun , Yueh Kuan-Yu
Published: May 2022

Purpose of the study: China is the second holder of world natural as well as cultural heritage sites. Wuyishan is a natural and cultural World Heritage Site among them. While many factors influencing tourist behaviour have been explored in the context of destination marketing in the past, few of them focused on domestic travel programs.

Methodology: This study administered the survey to 457 valid local visitors who visited Wuyishan on the spot. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was employed to examine the relationships among destination image (DI), destination attachment (DA), perceived value (PV), destination satisfaction (DS), and destination loyalty (DL).

Main findings: Empirical findings highlighted two critical roles of heritage tourism, PV and DS. The former acts as a complete mediator in the relationship between DI and DS, whereas the latter does the same in the relationship between PV and DL.

Originality/value: Managers of tourism and hospitality should offer and shape those unique self-characteristics and attributes first in order to create an impressive PV that will strongly link the DI of these tourists to their DS. By contrast, DA is not a determinant factor in heritage tourism.

Published: May 2022

Relevance. The creation of varieties and hybrids with environmental sustainability is a priority in crop breeding. Many issues related to biology and ecology of a number of spice plants remain understudied. The study of the biological and ecological characteristics of common dill in order to create straight varieties with high yields in the phase of industrial ripeness in our conditions has not been carried out. The aim of the research was to evaluate the parameters of adaptive capacity and ecological stability in collection samples of common dill in terms of yield.Materials and methods. The research was carried out in the experimental field of the Department of Fruit and Vegetable Growing of the Belarusian State Agricultural Academy, Gorki, Mogilev region over a period of 2012–2014 and 2019–2021. The objects were breeding samples of common dill. Field and laboratory experiments were carried out using generally accepted methods and guidelines. The meteorological conditions during the years of the research differed both in terms of temperature indicators and the amount of precipitation, which contributed to an objective assessment of the varieties under study according to a complex of economically useful traits.Results. The article presents the results of the study of common dill breeding samples obtained in different years of research. In the first set (2012-2014) there were 40 sample plants, in the second set (2019-2020) – 26 pieces. In the course of assessing the parameters of adaptive capacity and ecological stability, the diversity among the samples of common dill was revealed according to the main parameters. The difference in terms of yield between sets of genotypes and test conditions over the years indicates the relationship between the genotype and the environment. Based on the results of studying the common dill collection, the parent material for breeding for a consistently high yield was selected. The regularity of maintaining the stability of the trait "yield" with a repeated set of genotypes in different years of research has been established.

Authors: Pietrzak Michał , Dworniak Jan
Published: May 2022

W opracowaniu przedstawiono procesy fuzji i przejęć w branży mleczarskiej i ich dynamikę w kontekście kryzysu, jaki dotknął sektor w 2008 r. W latach 2000-2009 osiem spółdzielni wykorzystało fuzje i przejęcia, jako metodę wzrostu, przejmując 32 mleczarnie o łącznej wartości majątku 685 mln zł (ekwiwalent 16% aktywów należących do spółdzielni mleczarskich). Głęboki kryzys, jaki dotknął polskie i europejskie mleczarstwo zahamował dynamikę procesów fuzji i przejęć w kraju. Analiza 5 z 8 aktywnych na rynku M&A spółdzielni wykazała, ż tylko w 2 przypadkach możemy mówić o umiarkowanym sukcesie procesów fuzji i przejęć. Potwierdza to prawidłowość obserwowaną w innych działach gospodarki, że fuzje i przejęcia są wysoce ryzykownym przedsięwzięciem gospodarczym.

Authors: Nogalski Bogdan , Falencikowski Tadeusz M.
Published: May 2022

Podjęty problem związany jest z funkcjonowaniem rad nadzorczych. Jakość oraz skuteczność ich funkcjonowania budzi jednak zdaniem teoretyków i praktyków wiele uwag i wskazuje na istotne mankamenty. Uważamy, że w pewnym sensie unia personalna – występująca jako rozwiązanie organizacyjne związane z pracą rady nadzorczej w grupie kapitałowej – może łagodzić część wskazywanych mankamentów. Z tego m.in. powodu celem opracowania jest przeprowadzenie - w oparciu o metodę wnioskowania dedukcyjnego i case research – badania diagnozującego funkcje realizowane przez unie personalne w grupach kapitałowych. Unie personalne realizują bowiem ważne zadania służące tworzeniu równowagi dynamicznej w grupie kapitałowej, między spółką a spółkami zależnymi.

Monitoring programs can help understand coral disease dynamics. Here, we present results from a national program in the Dominican Republic (DR) aimed at evaluating coral diseases 3 times a year following a nested spatial design. Prevalence of coral diseases in DR varied from sites to regions, suggesting that disease dynamics can be driven by local processes and/or across larger spatial scales. Three diseases were common: Dark Spot (DSD), Yellow Band (YBD) and Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD). DSD and YBD were more prevalent across the western coast (north and south), whereas SCTLD was restricted for the study period to the northern coast. SCTLD has become endemic in the northwestern coast, epizootic in the northeastern, and absent in other sites across DR. SCTLD prevalence in the northwest was below 10% across sites, whereas in the northeast it varied from 2.13±3.69% (mean± sd) to 38.7±13.55% in Galeras and from 1.9±0.99% to 38.5±19.8% in Samaná. Over 10 coral species were affected by SCTLD in DR, with Pseudodiploria spp, Dendrogyra cylindrus, Eusmilia fastigiata, Siderastrea siderea, Montastraea cavernosa and Meandrina spp, being the most susceptible. We observed SCTLD affecting recruits and juvenile corals with 5% prevalence on average. Furthermore, we observed Oreaster reticulatus climbing on 1% healthy and 27% SCTLD P. strigosa colonies in Samaná. We conclude that SCTLD is a serious problem in DR, producing rapid loss of coral cover of major reef builders that are locally used for propagation efforts. This monitoring plan will provide future insights to design more effective disease responses.

Authors: Kassaw Admasie , Dessale Tesfaye , Ahmed Nuru , Negussie S.
Published: May 2022

Background: Fababean gall (Olpidium viciae) disease is a new disease in Ethiopia causing up to 100% crop losses. Treating seeds with Bayleton 25% WP fungicide was recommended for fababean growing areas. The objective of the study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of Bayleton fungicide as a seed dressing and foliar spray on fababean gall disease. Methods: The demonstration was conducted on two farmers’ field as replications at Meket District Warkaye and Agrit Kebele during 2016 cropping season. The treatments were Bayleton at the rate of 0.3 kg as seed dressing with 0.7 kg/ha as foliar spray and untreated control used as a check. Disease, yield and yield related data were calculated. Result: Bayleton treated plot was completely inhibit the severity and maximum disease severity was scored from control treatment 45.43 and 51.5% at Warkaye and Agrit Kebele, respectively. The mean grain yield (kg/ha) of treated plot was 2910.7 and 1584.2. And also, untreated plot gave 1670.1 and 372.67 kg/ha at Warkaye and Agrit Kebele respectively. Therefore, Bayleton fungicide at the rate of 0.3 kg per 100 kg fababean seed as seed treatment can control the disease and has to be scaled out for the study area and similar agro ecologies.
Effect of Homogenization on Protein, Fat Structure and in vitro Protein Digestibility in Milk
Authors: Shetty Shilpa S. , Sharma Kirti
Published: May 2022

Background: Superiority of homogenized milk over non-homogenized is always a debatable subject. In this study 3 different samples of non-homogenized bovine milk samples (NH1, NH2 are market samples and NH3 is unpasteurized milk obtained from local dairy farm) and homogenized milk samples (H1, H2 and H3 milk samples are market samples), were analysed. Methods: These samples were analysed to understand their digestive behaviour by studying fat and protein distribution, clot formation, pH variation and digestibility of protein in both unboiled and boiled condition. Result: In boiled and unboiled conditions of non-homogenized and homogenized milk samples, clot formed are different after treatment with digestive enzymes. This difference is also observed in pH study of non-homogenized milk because of structure of coagulum. In clot study, boiled and unboiled milk did not show much difference. Clot weight decreased as compared to 0-time point as gastric digestion progressed. Difference was found between boiled and unboiled sample for protein digestion in case of non- homogenized milk, although not much difference is observed in homogenized milk except for H1. Protein digestion of H2 homogenized mixed milk was found to be superior over rest of the sample.

Authors: Laoken A. , Polthanee A. , Promkhambut A. , Tre-loges V.
Published: May 2022

Background: Rainfed lowland rice crops are grown only once a year in the rainy season. In general, the fields are left fallowed after harvest of rice in the dry season. Cassava a drought tolerant-crop has the potential to grow the following rice. One of the methods to sustain production is through the application of beneficial microorganisms such as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and foliar bio-extracted fertilizer. Methods: Cassava was planted in the dry season (December-June). Nutrient management treatments included; 1) application of chemical fertilizer as recommendation rate (CFR), 2) application of CFR combined with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), 3) application of 80% of CFR combined with PGPR and 4) application of CFR combined with bio-extracted pig manure (BPM) which laid out in randomized complete block design. Result: Interaction between CFR and PGPR gave the maximum storage root yield of 23.1 t ha-1 without significant differences with the application of CFR alone (20.3 t ha-1). Such treatment also provides higher net income than those of the other treatments in the present experiment.
The Importance of the Role of Agricultural Cooperatives in the Development of the Agricultural Sector: The Case of Greece
Authors: Semou Vasiliki , Sergaki Panagiota , Tremma Ourania
Published: May 2022

Background: The subject of the study in the present work was the correlation of the development of the agricultural sector with the operation of agricultural cooperatives. Considering the importance of the agricultural sector with its big and small problems, the role of agricultural cooperatives in the development of this sector is identified. As it was found from the Greek literature, the agricultural cooperatives in Greece, offered technical and material assistance to the Greek farmers, helped in the economic recovery of the local communities, helped significantly in the operation of the agricultural products market, undertook activities of utilization of agricultural production and in many cases also competed with private companies. Methods: The model chosen for the analysis is the input-output analysis method which measures the economic impact that companies have on their local economies. In this case it concerns the change of production from the various companies belonging to the cooperatives to a financial contribution to the whole economy. Result: The results of the theoretical and empirical analysis clearly showed that the cooperative organizations in Greece, despite the chronic problems they face, contribute positively and satisfactorily to the entire economy of the country. This contribution is made not only by the services they offer to their members but also through the financial activities they undertake with their cooperative enterprises.

Published: May 2022

La crisis sanitaria provocada por el virus de la familia de los Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 y su enfermedad denominada COVID-19, ha afectado de manera significativa las empresas tanto a nivel nacional como internacional, lo que ha desencadenado una serie de consecuencias negativas en factores críticos de éxito como las ventas y la contratación de personal, debido a las medidas sanitarias impuestras como factores para mitigar la propagación del COVID-19. El propósito de esta investigación fue analizar la incidencia de variables como el género del empresario, la edad y el tamaño de la empresa, así como el apoyo de los proveedores en la actividad económica de MIPYMES costarricenses en el contexto de la crisis sanitaria y económica. Para la elaboración de este estudio se utilizó una base de datos recolectada por el Ministerio de Economía de Industria y Comercio (MEIC), la cual corresponde a una muestra de 2 718 MIPYMES del parque empresarial. Para el análisis de los datos se utilizó un Modelo de Regresión Logística, lo que permitió examinar las relaciones estadísticas significativas de las variables estudiadas. Los resultados respaldan que existe una relación significativa entre el tamaño de la empresa con respecto al nivel de ventas y contratación de personal.  Por el contrario, señalan que no existe una relación significativa entre el género de las personas dueñas o administradoras y la edad de las MIPYMES, con respecto a las dos variables dependientes.

El análisis de la evolución de los contagios, muertes y letalidad se elabora primero con una comparación en los cinco continentes, en donde Asia al 21/11/2021 indica que este continente ocupa el tercer lugar con 74.010.689 casos registrados, 1.104.494 muertes, para una letalidad de 1,55%. Por su parte, a nivel país la India ocupa el segundo lugar de contagios con 34.615.757 casos, solo detrás de EUA con 49.718.525 casos, en el contexto Mundial en el continente asiático, lógicamente India ocupa el primer lugar con 615.225 muertes asociadas a la COVID-19, seguidos de Rusia con 8.839.981 casos y 278.857 muertes. En resumen, en el ranking de las 15 naciones más afectadas por estas enfermedades en el mundo, se ubican India, Rusia, Turquía, Irán e Indonesia. Por otro lado, los avances en la vacunación son muy desiguales, en donde Camboya ocupa el primer lugar y Yemen el último con 1,21%. La disciplina en la aplicación de las medidas de prevención de los contagios, en los países orientales, es su mayor fortaleza. Por último, es paradójico que el enorme país de China, en donde se originó la crisis, hoy es una de las naciones con menos casos y muertes en el mundo.

Published: May 2022

En este estudio se presenta la evolución de la sindemia de la COVID-19 en tiempo real en los 54 países africanos a noviembre 2021. El objetivo principal es determinar el avance de los casos confirmados, muertes y letalidad asociados a la COVID-19, a nivel de continente y la comparación con el resto del mundo y en cada uno de los países del continente africano. Para cumplir con el objetivo, se analizaron datos disponibles en la página de Internet “Statista” de la Universidad de John Hopkins, OMS y otros. Además, se estudiaron los avances en la vacunación por continente y se realizó una identificación de las fortalezas y debilidades del continente africano para atender la crisis sanitaria provocada por el SARS-CoV-2. Los resultados obtenidos indican que, a pesar de los pronósticos establecidos por la OMS y otros organismos de salud, que presagiaban un desastre total en África, debido a su nivel de pobreza, la deficiencia de los sistemas de salud y el poco acceso a agua potable, saneamiento e higiene, no obstante, los casos y muertes por la COVID-19, hasta el momento de la elaboración de este estudio, ubican a África en el cuarto lugar, superando a Oceanía. Por último, se recomienda identificar las hipótesis analizadas, para elaborar estudios más profundos al finalizar la epidemia de la COVID-19 e cada país en África y compararlo con otras naciones de los otros cuatro continentes del mundo.
Retos y oportunidades en la implementación de la tecnología de 5G en tiempos de pandemia
Authors: Silva-Atencio Gabriel
Published: May 2022

La quinta generación en telecomunicaciones ya se encuentra en una fase muy avanzada en algunos países a nivel global, mientras que en Latinoamérica todavía se está en proceso de estudio y pocos países en etapa de implementación; sin embargo, hay retos no solo tecnológicos y de infraestructura que se deben tomar en cuenta, por ejemplo, las leyes y políticas vigentes, es por ello que el presente articulo analiza e identifica los retos y oportunidades que deben ser considerados en una posible implementación de una red de 5G en Costa Rica de forma exitosa. La investigación tuvo un enfoque cualitativo; por tanto, se efectuó una revisión documental de las buenas prácticas en otros países en Latinoamérica que están llevando a cabo procesos similares, junto con las labores y actividades realizadas al día de hoy en Costa Rica. En total, se identificaron 3 países lideres en la región que están llevando de forma exitosa sus procesos de implementación en sus redes de 5G, en donde se identificaron desafíos de carácter político, regulatorio y tecnológico. Finalmente, se concluye que la implementación de 5G está en una etapa muy temprana en la mayoría de los países de la región y en Costa Rica, aunque se han realizado grandes avances, todavía se encuentra en una etapa introductoria, lo cual representa una gran amenaza para el país en la perdida de inversión importantes en diversos sectores de la industria e impulso de la productividad y competitividad en las zonas rurales.

Social Assistance in Response to Covid-19: Reaching the Furthest Behind First?
Authors: Roelen Keetie , Carter Becky
Published: May 2022

Social assistance has proven a vital component of the response to the unprecedented global crisis of Covid-19. Almost all countries across the world implemented some form of social assistance to provide a buffer against the pandemic’s socioeconomic consequences. Vulnerable populations received more extensive support, and groups previously excluded were covered by new or expanded measures. Yet limited information is available about the extent to which social assistance in response to Covid-19 was inclusive of those most marginalised, and whether interventions reached ‘the furthest behind first’. This paper assesses coverage of various vulnerable groups and identifies factors contributing to their in- or exclusion. We find that the rapid and extensive rollout of measures offered support to many vulnerable and marginalised individuals, including those who were not covered prior to the pandemic. Experiences do differ considerably across countries, contexts, and populations with some groups having received heightened attention while others being excluded or finding it difficult to access assistance that they are eligible for. Overall, the degree of inclusiveness of social assistance implemented in the wake of Covid-19 was highly dependent on how inclusive measures were prior to the pandemic. Factors playing into in- or exclusion include availability of data of those most vulnerable; use of digital tools for identification, assessment and payment; identification requirements; employment of social registries; adequacy of vulnerability and targeting criteria; and existence of effective grievance and safeguarding procedures. These findings provide important lessons for how to promote the inclusivity of future social assistance interventions and wider social protection systems.
Water, Climate Change, and Conflict
Authors: Cooper Rachel
Published: May 2022

There is a growing global water crisis and that this is one of the of the most significant threats the world is facing. Climate change is one of the key drivers of the water crisis as it changes the global water cycle, increases variability in availability and water stress and scarcity, as well as degrading water quality. Water can also be a risk for conflict and instability. It can also be a trigger for conflict at the local level. However, a range of factors and intervening variables are likely to influence whether conflict arises. At the international level, whilst political tensions in some basins are, water historically has more often led to cooperation than conflict between countries. This paper considers interactions between water, climate change and conflict as a spectrum that includes protests, through political tensions to violent conflict, at different scalar levels of analysis. However, the local, intrastate and international levels are linked. This rapid literature review provides a snapshot of this literature and largely focuses on literature from 2017 onwards. Whilst in the literature, water and climate change are often linked to conflict and instability through climate change’s impacts on water security, the consensus in the literature reviewed for this report is that this does not mean there are direct causal linkages. Establishing whether or not incidences of water-related conflict, or conflict over water is increasing, is challenging and contested.
Malaria, HIV and TB in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: Epidemiology, Disease Control Challenges and Interventions
Authors: Bain Luchuo Engelbert , Dobermann Darja
Published: May 2022

Malaria, human immune deficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) are leading causes of death and public health threat to millions in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The DRC is the second most malaria affected sub-Saharan African country after Nigeria, with malaria being the leading cause of death in children under 5 years (Lechthaler et al., 2019). The HIV prevalence in the country in the adult population stands at 1%, with extensive variations by region (UNAIDS, 2021c). The DRC is considered a high burden country for TB and HIV infection (Linguissi et al., 2017). This rapid review emphasizes significant elements of the epidemiology of malaria, HIV, and TB in DRC, as well as limitations in prevention, detection, and treatment, and examines a few interventions that aim to address these limitations. Evidence utilised is a mixture of the most recent grey literature NGO (programme reports and related documents) literature supplemented by peer reviewed academic literature from the past five years and national survey data when available. Although the clinical disease aspects of malaria, HIV and TB are well-researched there is less research available on socio-demographic variation, disease control challenges and interventions targeting these in the DRC. This is part of a series of reports looking into Epidemiology of Malaria, human immune deficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) across a set of African Nations.
Malaria, HIV and TB in Nigeria: Epidemiology and Disease Control Challenges
Authors: Haider Huma
Published: May 2022

Nigeria has the world’s highest number of people affected by malaria and the world’s second largest human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS burden. There is a high occurrence of co-infection of malaria in HIV patients (Gumel et al., 2021). Nigeria is also ranked as one of the thirty high tuberculosis (TB) and TB-HIV co-infection burden countries in the world (Odume et al., 2020, 8). Co-infection can make each disease more severe and potentially more infectious (Gumel et al., 2021; Jemikalajah et al., 2021; Chukwuocha et al., 2019). This rapid literature review highlights key aspects of the epidemiology of malaria, HIV and TB in Nigeria, in addition to challenges in controlling the three diseases, in terms of prevention, detection and treatment. This is part of a series of reports looking into Epidemiology of Malaria, human immune deficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) across a set of African Nations.
The Impact of the Trade War Between the United States and China on ASEAN and Huawei Technologies as Reviewed by Trade, Investment, and Competition Law
Authors: Widjaja Jessica Natalia
Published: May 2022

The Trade War between the United States and China is impacting the worldwide economy, especially ASEAN part nations. The aim of this paper is to look at the effect of the US-China exchange battle on ASEAN and Huawei Technologies. It is separated into four sections: the initial segment will clarify the idea of worldwide exchange as it is analyzed by profession, speculation, and rivalry law, the subsequent part will clarify the exchange battle between the US and China as it influences ASEAN and Huawei Technologies, and the third part will clarify the job of RCEP as a guide to ASEAN and Huawei Technologies. The result of the analysis shows that the exchange battle between the US and China can be settled by building up an unbiased association as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), and that substantial advances can be taken to lessen dependence on the US and China by diminishing commodities and imports, just as expanding and working on the quality of domestic items. 
Konfessionelle Kooperation und Religionsunterricht für alle 2.0
Authors: Bauer Jochen
Published: May 2022

Die evangelisch-katholische „Konfessionelle Kooperation“ im Religionsunterricht und der (Hamburger) „Religionsunterricht für alle“ galten lange als konkurrierende Modelle; in jüngster Zeit nähern sie sich jedoch an. Der Artikel skizziert und vergleicht die Entstehung und Entwicklung beider Modelle, ihren rechtlichen und organisatorischen Rahmen und ihre theologische Grundlegung. Er analysiert das jeweilige Verständnis von religiöser Differenz, von Bekenntnisorientierung, Identitätsbildung und Lehrerrolle und fragt, was beide Modelle voneinander lernen können.
Qualitätskriterien für kooperative Formate im Religionsunterricht
Authors: Käbisch David , Woppowa Jan
Published: May 2022

In den Debatten um die Fortführung des Religionsunterrichts an öffentlichen Schulen in Deutschland spielen unterschiedliche Modelle der konfessionellen und interreligiösen Zusammenarbeit eine ent­scheidende Rolle. Die zentrale These dieses Beitrags lautet, dass Qualitätskriterien für Kooperationen allgemeine didaktische Prinzipien der Perspektivenverschränkung, des Perspektivenwechsels und der Perspektivenübernah­me berücksichtigen sollten. Mit Bezug auf eine aktuelle empirische Studie in Nordhessen beschreibt das Papier Kriterien für die Planung, Durchführung und Evaluation von Unterricht. Zusammen liefern diese Kriterien wich­tige Erkenntnisse für den didaktisch reflektierten Umgang mit Heterogenität und Differenz. Nötig ist nun eine Studie mit Lehrmaterialien und Lernaufgaben, die auf diesen Kriterien beruhen.

Die Diskussion um den konfessionell-kooperativen Religionsunterricht
Authors: Riegel Ulrich , Boschki Reinhold , Schweitzer Friedrich , Ulfat Fahimah
Published: May 2022

Der Artikel bilanziert die Beiträge zum Sonderheft der RpB zum konfessionell-kooperativen Religionsunterricht. Dabei zeigt sich, dass sowohl seine konkrete Form als auch sein Ziel- und Inhaltsspektrum von Bundesland zu Bundesland stark variieren. Die religionspädagogische Arbeit am Modell wird kaum durch Arbeit an der Praxis begleitet. Auch scheint es ein deutliches Ungleichgewicht zwischen der Verbreitung der konfessio­nellen Kooperation in der Schule und der Verankerung dieses Konzepts in Aus- und Weiterbildung zu geben. Da­bei stellt sich angesichts der demographischen Veränderungen die Frage, ob die konfessionelle Kooperation nicht in Richtung weiterer Religionen geweitet werden müsste, insbesondere weil hier noch viele theologische und di­daktische Fragen zu beantworten sind.

Military Response to Natural Disasters: The Resilience of Affected Nations
Authors: Long Chad A.
Published: May 2022

Humanitarian response efforts are difficult to predict because many variables impact the final decision. Previous research on the topic of military assistance has focused on the strength of the cyclone or earthquake as the dominant factor. The kinetic force behind a natural disaster is important, but many other elements influence a request for aid from the United States. Resilience factors such as the infrastructure’s ability to withstand the disaster impact the nation’s ultimate decision to request external help. If local structures and support instruments are robust enough, additional assistance will not be necessary. This paper analyzes 40 years of the United States military humanitarian response; over 300 military operations were reviewed and coded based on the nature of the disaster and the impacted country’s Bundhis Entwicklong Hift WorldRiskIndex exposure, susceptibility and coping capacity values and FM Global Resilience Index natural hazard risk quality value. The research shows foreign countries will likely request the United States military aid if they have an exposure value greater than 26.3. The results of this study will assist military commanders in defining response requirements and aligning operational plans with the most vulnerable populations.
Decolonizing the law curricula at Universities of Technology: The student’s perspective on content
Authors: Anwana E. O.
Published: May 2022

Universities of technologies (UoT’s) unlike most traditional universities in South Africa do not have law faculties and therefore only certain law modules such as commercial law, corporate law and other business law courses are offered to students. This article seeks to examine the extent to which Africanist epistemologies and perspectives should be included in the content of the business law curricula in UoT’s. The article applies the mixed methods research approach. Questionnaires with both closed and open-ended questions are administered to second year business law students of the Durban University of Technology (DUT). A semi-structured interview is conducted with third year business law students to ascertain their perceptions of the first year business law curricula and the content they would like to see included in the curricula. The results indicates that African students desire the inclusion of their lived experiences and epistemologies in the business law curricula. Students desire the inclusion of the indigenous jurisprudence of Ubuntu, traditional dispute settlement mechanisms, and other indigenous traditional contractual practices in the business law curricula. The findings will assist higher education managers and university curricula developers in developing an inclusive curricula that will meet the demands of African students.
Water Quality Monitoring of Five Karst Springs within a Pastureland in Southwest Polk County, Missouri
Authors: Gómez Ramona , Gutiérrez Mélida
Published: May 2022

The fractured nature of karst terrain makes these areas highly susceptible to contamination. Besides aquifer contamination, impaired karst springs can negatively impact the aquatic habitat of their receiving streams. Five springs of a shallow karst aquifer in southwest Polk County, Missouri, and their receiving stream were selected to construct a baseline of water quality data, using nitrate (NO3) as indicator. The main land use in the study area is cattle farming. Water samples were collected during a 12-month period and analyzed for pH, turbidity, Ca, Mg, HCO3, Cl, SO4, and NO3. Results show that each spring had its own range of values. NO3 and Cl values were below contamination levels and only in a few instances exceeded threshold levels reported for karst areas (NO3-N <3 mg/L; Cl <13 mg/L), implying that the number of cattle per acre is maintained at a sustainable level and leaking from the Springfield Plateau aquifer to the underlying Ozark aquifer poses a minor threat. Interestingly, NO3 and Cl did not correlate despite their common source, suggesting that they undergo different chemical and microbiological processes along their path. The yearly nitrate export from the Little Sac River was estimated as 286.8 Mg, and the maximum N load was observed in March. Monitoring of springs and streams is recommended for this environmentally fragile area.
Organic Matter and Molecular-Weight Distribution of Hydrocarbons in the Annenskoe Thermal Waters (Far East, Russia)
Authors: Poturay V.A.
Published: May 2022

—The paper presents new data on the composition of organic matter and the molecular-weight distribution of saturated hydrocarbons in the thermal waters of the Annenskoe field. The TIC chromatograms of extracts of the thermal waters, obtained by capillary gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, revealed 98 organic compounds of biogenic, thermogenic, and technogenic origin. The technogenic components amount to no more than 5%. The geochemical odd–even preference indices of saturated hydrocarbons (CPI, ACL, OEP, and TARHC) are calculated. It is shown that organic matter, in particular, saturated hydrocarbons, results from two processes: thermogenic processes in the water–rock system and bacterial activity. Variations in the composition of organic matter in the Annenskoe thermal waters have been determined for the first time. They are characterized by minor fluctuations within 30 min and serious fluctuations over two years and are expressed as an increase in the portion of thermogenic alkanes and a decrease in the portion of nitrogen-containing components.
