The Mute Zone of Social Representations and the Effects of (Un)Masking: Review and Prospects
Authors: Rateau Patrick , Lo Monaco Grégory
Published: July 2021

Twenty years ago, Guimelli and Deschamps (2000) hypothesised the existence of the mute zone of social representations. According to the authors, certain parts of the social representations of objects, described as sensitive, were not expressed under normal survey conditions. This fundamental question was curiously addressed very late in literature on social representations, but has been having significant success within the community of researchers working in this field since then. This seminal work, which offered a methodological perspective capable of highlighting such unspoken facts, paved the way for studies that proposed several theoretical interpretations and new techniques for exploring this mute zone. The challenge was twofold: to identify the processes involved and to invent the appropriate tools to express the counter-normative contents potentially attached to certain objects of representation. This article proposes to take stock of these 20 years of research and to anticipate new avenues oriented on the one hand on the study of the socio-cognitive processes involved in the mute zone phenomenon, and on the other hand on the proposal of new theoretical and methodological articulations with other concepts dealing with similar issues.
Examining causal relationship among stock market index, crude oil price, exchange rate amid COVID-19 era: an empirical evidence from Indian financial market using VAR model
Authors: Pandey Maneesh Kumar , Sergeeva Irina G. , Gudla Vishal
Published: July 2021

The year 2020, so far, has been relentlessly wreaking havoc on the very concept of life and work as we know them. This unprecedented event has been unfolding multiple worst-case scenarios on all fronts of our society and has eclipsed almost every other natural disasters of the modern world and pushing humanity on the verge of tipping point. Up to now, more than 29 million people have been infected and more than 1000 thousand have lost their lives because of COVID-19. So far, this epidemic has not only taken human lives but also snatched the livelihood of millions of people worldwide. Because of this epidemic, the world has been experiencing a kind of regressive mindset, where countries are looking inward, and all kinds of political, social, and economic relations are in a very confused state on account of this ongoing assault on them. Consequently, this epidemic has triggered a high level of skepticism in investors about the certainty of the rapid healing of the social and economic condition which is hindering the quick and healthy recovery of financial markets in most of the pandemic ridden countries of the world. The purpose of this study was to examine the causal relationship among various factors such as crude oils price, exchange rate, and stock market performance during Covid-19 in the context of financial market performance in India. Several methodologies have been applied during this study such Johansen co-integration test, vector autoregression model, and Granger causality test. The results have supported a significant causality among crude oil prices and the exchange rate on stock market performance.
Structural-content model of the territories marketing system as a direction of the socio-economic policy of the state
Authors: Antonov Vladimir N.
Published: July 2021

The article is devoted to the development of a structural-meaningful model of the territory marketing system as a direction of the state's socio-economic policy. At the same time, it is substantiated that the territory marketing system belongs to the category of open and is influenced by: systems of higher levels (for example, the economic security of the state); existing or potential financial and investment, material and resource, intellectual and personnel, digital development of territories, which, in fact, largely determines the capabilities of the state in the implementation of socio-economic policy and the choice by the authorities of tools for marketing territories; traditions, lifestyle and mentality of the population. Based on this, the signs and consequences of an insufficiently effective socio-economic policy in connection with its key directions are identified, and the features of the implementation of its main mechanisms are identified, in relation to the marketing of territories within the framework of the proposed structural and substantial model.
Verbalization of the Concept of “Kysh” (Winter) in the Karachay-Balkar Language Picture of the World
Authors: Akhmatova Mariyam A. , Dodueva Aminat T. , Ketenchiev Mussa B.
Published: July 2021

This article discusses the concept of kysh (winter), which is one of the main elements of the concept sphere of the Karachay-Balkar language picture of the world. The national and cultural specificity of the concept under study is revealed on the basis of various works of art, phraseological units, proverbs and sayings, as well as dictionary definitions. The paper presents the semantics of the lexical units that make up this concept, reveals its conceptual features based on various associations of native speakers, analyzes the linguistic representation and cognitive characteristics of this concept in the Karachay-Balkar language picture of the world, and therefore considers paremiological units that represent the ethno-cultural specifics of the Karachay-Balkar language, features of the ethnic worldview and world perception. The main distinguishing features of winter, attributes, and accompanying factors are considered.
Russian Classics in the USA Transcultural Canon
Authors: Butenina Evgeniya M.
Published: July 2021

The issue of the canon (the most studied and taught classics) is one of the most important in the world literature system. The paper briefly outlines the formation of the USA literary canon since the middle of the 19th century and details the formation of the Russian segment in the transcultural canon since the late 20th century. In the history of the USA canon formation, the institutional or sociological model (Jonathan Culler, Stanley Fish, Paul Lauter), which argues that social institutions respond to ideological demands, and the aesthetic model embodied by Harold Blooms Shakespeare-centered Western Canon stand out. An up-to-date approach to the canon assumes taking both models into account, as well as the perception of the canon as cultural memory. Anthologies are most important sources of documenting the canon. For the 20th century American literature researchers distinguish three phases formed by the leading literary trends: historiographic (1919-1946), new critical (1947-1967) and multicultural (1967- present). Based on the analysis of Norton and Longman anthologies, as well as a popular textbook The Bedford Introduction to Literature since the late 20th century to the present, the paper highlights the Russian core in the USA transcultural canon, which became the source of creative reinterpretation in contemporary literature. The present research is to be continued through the study of the Russian literature canon in specialized editions to outline a comprehensive history of the Russian-American cultural transfer.
Calculation of special functions arising in the problem of diffraction by a dielectric ball
Authors: Malyshev Ksaverii Yu.
Published: July 2021

To apply the incomplete Galerkin method to the problem of the scattering of electromagnetic waves by lenses, it is necessary to study the differential equations for the field amplitudes. These equations belong to the class of linear ordinary differential equations with Fuchsian singularities and, in the case of the Lneburg lens, are integrated in special functions of mathematical physics, namely, the Whittaker and Heun functions. The Maple computer algebra system has tools for working with Whittaker and Heun functions, but in some cases this system gives very large values for these functions, and their plots contain various kinds of artifacts. Therefore, the results of calculations in the Maple11 and Maple2019 systems of special functions related to the problem of scattering by a Lneburg lens need additional verification. For this purpose, an algorithm for finding solutions to linear ordinary differential equations with Fuchsian singular points by the method of Frobenius series was implemented, designed as a software package Fucsh for Sage. The problem of scattering by a Lneburg lens is used as a test case. The calculation results are compared with similar results obtained in different versions of CAS Maple. Fuchs for Sage allows computing solutions to other linear differential equations that cannot be expressed in terms of known special functions.

Published: July 2021

Despite an acrimonious history, being involved in the second and third Indochina War, in the past few years, Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR) seems to have deepened its relations with China. The improvement of friendly bilateral ties between Beijing and Vientiane can be observed by the evidence of China as the largest foreign investor in the country. On one hand, Lao PDR’s struggle to improve its economic its landlocked geography and the need for infrastructure assistance naturally makes the country lean more towards China. On the other hand, Beijing needs Lao PDR’s geographical advantages to complete the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) project. The objective of this paper is to analyze the evolving relationship between China and Lao PDR within the context of the BRI. This paper concludes that both parties have developed a complex interdependent relationship with China attempting to establish a solid geo-economics system while trying to assert its position in a structural power system. The act of assertion is supported by its foreign policy that is predicted to be utilized to cajole Southeast Asia countries to be part of a community of common destiny under the leadership of Beijing.
Gross Capital Inflows in Indonesia: Exploring Bonanzas and Sudden Stops
Authors: Izzulhaq Syahid , Taufikurahman Muhammad Rizal , Hudaya Afaqa , Akbar Mohammad Reza Hafiz
Published: July 2021

This paper examines episodes of capital bonanzas and sudden stops in Indonesia by utilising binary response models and several episode-identification approaches. Our identification suggests that whenever bonanza episodes occurred, capital sudden stop episodes followed in a more extended period. The estimations demonstrate that domestic factors are relatively dominant in determining the capital bonanzas, and the federal funds rate has a more significant impact on inducing the probability of capital sudden stops in Indonesia. We also found that Turkey and South Africa are the most contagious economies for Indonesia. This paper proposes some policy reforms to enhance the stability of capital inflows in Indonesia, including financial regulation and public finance policies such as a reverse Tobin tax and market-driven public debt rules.

Published: July 2021

In the administration and development of the Malaysian nation-state, each prime minister has contributed and exhibited his distinct leadership style. Abdul Razak Hussein and Mahathir Mohamad’s contributions and leadership, especially in the nation-state’s development and modernisation, are well-recognised by Malaysians. They referred to Razak as the Development Father while Mahathir is known as the Father of Modernisation. Their leaderships’ effectiveness is also evident in their outstanding achievements based on the policies and actions during their tenure as the nation’s leaders. Therefore, this study aims to discuss the achievement-oriented aspects of Razak-Mahathir leadership in Malaysia’s nation-state development. A qualitative historical descriptive design was used as the research methodology where the primary source of this study was the texts of the two prime ministers’ speeches. These sources are qualitatively analysed to explore the qualities of leadership they practised to develop and modernise the country. The results showed that leadership qualities such as stimulating people’s intellectual capacity, motivating people, good planning, demonstrating influence, emphasising togetherness, emphasising good values, exhibiting firmness, demonstrating self-confidence, being considerate, envisioning the future and acknowledging people’s contribution were practised by Razak and Mahathir in conducting their duties as prime ministers. It showed that a country can achieve remarkable development and modernisation when it is led by leaders who incorporate the aforementioned leadership qualities. This study’s social implications are as follows: first, underlining the importance of achievement-oriented leadership that can inspire the people and the government to foster a steady national development and secondly, implying the essential roles of leaders in defining and shaping a suitable nation-state concept that should be adopted in a nation-state. This study innovatively introduces a leadership model framework based on Razak-Mahathir’s achievements during their administration. It gives an overview of their successful leadership styles in governing the country, which can be applied or practised by leaders or related parties with similar roles, aspirations and goals.

Authors: Kolapo Ademola Augustine , Afees Gbadeyanka
Published: July 2021

Poultry farming is a highly profitable and not capital intensive agricultural project. It is becoming one of the highest investments in agriculture in Nigeria. The proliferation of self -produced feeds by the Farmers with the addition of some minerals to stimulate growth could elevate the levels of radionuclides in feeds. This, therefore, calls for the determination of the health effects from the consumption of these chicken meats and organs. 10 samples of broilers and 30 feed samples (10 each of Starter, Grower, and Finisher feeds used in feeding the chicken) were used; collected from five selected poultry- farms in Lagos State, Nigeria, and analyzed using spectrometry analysis with NaI (Tl). The results obtained showed that concentrations of 40K, 232Th, and 226Ra were 49.0±25.8, 24.9 ±12.2, and 32.9 ±16.2 Bqkg-1 respectively, in chicken meats. In the feeds, their values were below the UNSCEAR recommendation. The annual effective doses in chicken meats and organs were lower than the 70µSv/yr limit. The cancer risk was within the recommended limit, and the internal hazard indices were below unity. The mean values of the transfer coefficient (TC) were also below 1 for 40K, higher than unity for 226Ra in Finisher feeds, and 232Th in Starter feeds. The starter and finisher feeds were moderately contaminated. So, feeding chicken with these feeds may expose the consumers to the danger of over-exposure to 226Ra and 232Th.

Published: July 2021

Introduction. Bifurcation lesions on venous Y grafts are rare. We present a case of a woman who developed non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock due to a bifurcation lesion on the venous Y graft for left anterior descending artery (LAD) and ramus circumflex artery (RCX). Case outline. A 72-year-old woman was admitted to the coronary care unit as an emergency in September 2017 due to acute heart failure followed by the development of cardiogenic shock. Urgent coronarography revealed severe atherosclerotic disease of native coronary arteries with significant bifurcation lesion on venous Y graft for LAD and RCX (medina classification of 1,1,1) with thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) grade 2 flow. According to the general condition of patient, a life-saving ad hoc percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was performed. Two stents were implanted in the Y graft with T and protrusion (TAP) technique achieving optimal result followed with patient stabilization. On one-year follow-up, the patient was without symptoms of angina, and computed tomography coronarography revealed patent both stents in the Y graft. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first described TAP technique used on the Y graft. Conclusion. The PCI on a vein graft is not uncommon either in elective cases or in cases with acute coronary syndrome due to the poorer persistence and more frequent progression of atherosclerotic disease in the venous grafts. The use of bifurcation techniques for the treatment of lesions on a vein graft and especially on the Y graft is rare, but it can be used the same way it is used in native vessels.

Published: July 2021

Mastery of the English grammar is an intricate subject. Conventional teaching and learning of the English grammar have found to be an arduous task for teachers and a lacklustre one for students. The traditional pen and paper method often cause second language (L2) learners to become unmotivated in understanding this important element of the language. Thus, it is critical to provide L2 learners with the motivation to engage learning grammar in a more meaningful and purposive process. An ideal way to provide such learning experiences is through the use of language games that accommodate L2 learners’ desire to grasp grammar rules in an enjoyable way. To fill the gap for a purposive and meaningful grammar-based language game, Worchitect, a card-based game that focuses on (English) parts of speech is developed. The card game poses players/learners with questions that will foster their understanding of the rules of grammar for them to play the game and accumulate the highest scores possible. This game provides a constructive reinforcement to L2 users as it allows for the English parts of speech (and grammar) rules to be deductively attained. Furthermore, Worchitect is highly marketable as it is suitable for learners of various language proficiencies; for language teachers to be used as reinforcement or the actual learning activity; for parents who are looking to spend quality time with their children; and for any language enthusiast.

Crude oil contamination is known to cause unwholesome damage to man, his environment comprising of soil, air and water bodies as well as other forms of life. This study determined the effect of crude oil polluted soils on the composition of different microorganisms and plants and the growth of Pleurotus tuberregium. Oil polluted soils in bowls were amended with sawdust from Brachystegia nigerica as substrate. Fruiting bodies and the diameter of the mushroom cap were found to increase with increasing weeks of exposure to oil as against the control which had no fruiting bodies throughout the experiment. Pepperomia pellucida was found to be the predominant weed (n = 20), followed by Asystasia gangetica (n = 11). The bacterial and fungal counts were higher at the oil polluted soil attached to sclerotia than the control. The growth of Pleurotus tuberregium in the polluted soil samples showed its ability to degrade and utilize hydrocarbon as the source of carbon and energy, thereby remediating the contaminated soil environment. This work has shown that the fungus has bioremediation and pollution control capacity.

El Cuadro de Mando Integral como Herramienta de Eficiencia en la Gestión Empresarial
Authors: Ghiglione Franco Alexis
Published: July 2021

Gestionar implica administrar y asignar recursos escasos eficientemente. En gran parte, el éxito o fracaso de cualquier empresa, organización o institución, de carácter público o privado, está sujeto al diseño, alcance y grado de implantación de sus estrategias competitivas. En un contexto económico, social, tecnológico y medioambiental en constante evolución, la premisa empresarial pareciera estar centrada en desarrollar capacidades para adaptarse y anticiparse al cambio. En la literatura académica identificamos un claro consenso respecto de esta problemática: las estrategias corporativas suelen ser innovadoras, pero su déficit radica en la implementación y la evaluación continua de los resultados; allí cobra relevancia la correcta definición de sus objetivos e indicadores. Ante ello, el presente trabajo indaga sobre las características particulares vinculadas a las deficiencias en la ejecución de las estrategias y plantea una revisión bibliográfica de la herramienta de gestión Cuadro de Mando Integral como solución alternativa al problema planteado.

As doenças infecciosas intestinais apresentam a diarreia como principal sintoma e estão frequentemente associados às condições inadequadas de saneamento, representando uma das principais causas de mortalidade infantil. Dessa forma, essa pesquisa buscou investigar a associação entre o número de óbitos em crianças menores que cinco anos por doenças infecciosas intestinais e os indicadores de saneamento (oferta de água, esgotamento sanitário e coleta de lixo), a nível nacional e macrorregional, referentes aos anos de 2004 e 2014. Como resultados, obteve-se que o número de óbitos no Brasil decresceu 71,5%, ao passo que os serviços de abastecimento de água por rede geral, esgotamento sanitário por rede coletora e coleta de lixo, cresceram 3,9%; 32,3% e 5,9%, respectivamente, ao comparar-se os números de 2004 e 2014. As regiões Norte e Nordeste apresentaram as quedas na mortalidade mais expressivas, acompanhadas das variações mais relevantes nos serviços de saneamento. Quanto às regiões Sudeste, Sul e Centro-Oeste, estas concentraram os maiores índices de saneamento e menores registros de mortalidade no período. Mediante essas informações, demonstra-se a relação de subordinação dos indicadores de mortalidade por essas doenças aos serviços de saneamento e reforça-se a necessidade de investimento e ampliação desses recursos a nível nacional.Palavras-chave: Mortalidade infantil; Gastroenterite; Diarreia; Saneamento

The optical properties of the TiO2 / Ag hybrid nanoparticles were improved as the particles were prepared with a pulsed liquid laser ablation (PLAL) technology. The effect of number of pulses (450) on the structural and optical properties of nanoparticles prepared in distilled water (DW) as growth media was examined using a Q-Switched Nd-YAG laser with wavelength (1064 nm), ablation energy (530 mJ) and repetition rate (1Hz). The distance between the target and the lens (10 cm). Several were used for the diagnosis such as X-ray diffraction analysis, fourier infrared transformations, TEM assays and fluorescence of the prepared samples. The results of X-ray diffraction analysis of the silver nanoparticles deposited on a glass slide showed that the crystal system is cubic and polycrystalline, with the direction being dominated by [111] at the level of the crystals. The results of X-ray diffraction analysis of a solution of titanium dioxide nanoparticles deposited on a glass slide revealed the presence of a quadrangular crystal system, indicating the presence of titanium dioxide particles in (rutile), and that the prevailing trend for crystalline levels is [110]. The functional groups of (TiO2 / Ag) were determined in the liquid medium by the (FTIR) technique. Also, TEM images showed the presence of nanoparticles and microparticles in an almost spherical shape. The fluorescence measurement of (TiO2 / Ag) hybrid particles showed that through the graph the peak values of (284.1) and (418.3) nm. This is roughly identical to the absorption spectrum results of a hybrid silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticle solution.

This study is a continuation of the series of summaries by the Green Industry Research Consortium examining the regional trade flows in the U.S. nursery industry. This detailed analysis of green industry regional trade flows in eight U.S. regions compares 2018 data with those of the 2008 and 2013 national survey estimates of origin and destination (OD) information to sales data. Specifically, we discuss: 1) regional annual sales reported by the green industry firms in 2018, 2) the percentage distribution of OD trade flows by regions and states, 3) differences in the percentage distribution of OD trade flows during the 5-year period by region (2013 to 2018), and 4) differences in the percentage distribution of OD trade flows during the 10-year period by region (2008 to 2018) for both intra-state (within home state) and inter-regional (between states) trade flows. The OD trade flow results were compared with those of 2008 and 2013. The results show considerable changes in intra-state and inter-regional trade flows from 2013 to 2018. From 2008 to 2018, only the Southcentral region increased in the proportion of sales within the region. Implications for relevant green industry stakeholders are discussed.
