Published: April 2019

Background

Compulsory admission is commonly regarded as necessary and justified for patients whose psychiatric condition represents a severe danger to themselves and others. However, while studies on compulsory admissions have reported on various clinical and social outcomes, little research has focused specifically on dangerousness, which in many countries is the core reason for compulsory admission.

Aims

To study changes in dangerousness over time in adult psychiatric patients admitted by compulsory court order, and to relate these changes to these patients' demographic and clinical characteristics.

Method

In this explorative prospective observational cohort study of adult psychiatric patients admitted by compulsory court order, demographic and clinical data were collected at baseline. At baseline and at 6 and 12 month follow-up, dangerousness was assessed using the Dangerousness Inventory, an instrument based on the eight types of dangerousness towards self or others specified in Dutch legislation on compulsory admissions. We used descriptive statistics and logistic regression to analyse the data.

Results

We included 174 participants with a court-ordered compulsory admission. At baseline, the most common dangerousness criterion was inability to cope in society. Any type of severe or very severe dangerousness decreased from 86.2% at baseline to 36.2% at 6 months and to 28.7% at 12 months. Being homeless at baseline was the only variable which was significantly associated with persistently high levels of dangerousness.

Conclusions

Dangerousness decreased in about two-thirds of the patients after court-ordered compulsory admission. It persisted, however, in a substantial minority (approximately one-third).

В статье рассматривается развитие зернового производства в Белгородской области, тесно связанное с концентрацией его производства, как в агропромышленных формированиях, так и в самостоятельных сельскохозяйственных организациях. В результате проведения аналитической группировки была обработана информация о 143 сельскохозяйственных организациях Белгородской области (из них независимыми являются 84 сельскохозяйственные организации и 59 входят в состав агропромышленных формирований). Результаты исследования показывают, что с увеличением размеров посевных площадей отмечается снижение средней себестоимости 1 тонны реализованного зерна, увеличение урожайности и уровня рентабельности. Главным проблемным вопросом остается не только низкая закупочная цена на зерно, о которой говорит большинство руководителей сельскохозяйственных организаций, но и недостаточно эффективное управление затратами при производстве зерна. Увеличение масштабов производства зерна позволяет компенсировать даже снижение отпускной цены, то есть подтверждается существование значительных резервов повышения эффективности за счет концентрации производства. Агропромышленные формирования занимаются производством в основном фуражного зерна (около 85%), для внутреннего использования, поскольку специализируются на производстве мяса свиней и птицы. Концентрация зернового производства, особенно в агропромышленных формированиях, которым принадлежит большая часть сельскохозяйственных угодий в регионе (65%), имеет ряд негативных моментов, связанных с невозможностью обеспечить устойчивое развитие сельских территорий. Перспективным направлением развития зернового производства может стать формирование сельскохозяйственных потребительских кооперативов или его кластеризация. Это будет способствовать росту экономической эффективности производства, созданию новых рабочих мест, согласованию интересов всех товаропроизводителей и развитию инфраструктуры сельской местности.

Маркетинговые коммуникации (МК) – деятельность направленная на продвижение товара с помощью передачи информации покупателям. Для малого бизнеса розничной торговли в регионе сложилась следующая система маркетинговых коммуникаций – наружные вывески, световое табло, витрины, айстоперы, зазывалы, РОS-инвентарь и оборудование в торговом зале. Однако, в условиях усиления конкуренции на смоленском сегменте розничной торговли и повышение роли IT-технологий, наступают времена по смене парадигмы в предоставлении информации покупателям и изменения подходов к маркетинговым коммуникациям, направленным не на товары, а на изучение поведения, предпочтений, желаний, возможностей покупателей и формирование на основании этого спроса на товары. Отсюда необходимо создавать новое видение и вырабатывать стратегии ведения бизнеса, охватывая все торговые процессы – ассортиментную политику и маркетинг, формы и методы обслуживания и сервиса, отслеживания поведения покупателей в торговом зале, внедряя робототехнику в самообслуживании и стимулировании к покупке.Сложность здесь заключается в сборе объективных данных при высокой скорости поступления информации, гибкости, быстроты реакции и адаптации на розничном рынке, нехватки крупных логистических и складских хозяйств. Внедрение диджитал-маркетинга в условиях развития цифровой экономики в розничную торговлю для смоленского малого предприятия может решить эту задачу.Цель – определение направлений совершенствования маркетинговых коммуникаций в условиях развития цифровой экономики.Метод или методология проведения работы: в статье использовались методы факторного анализа.Результаты: определены основные направления развития маркетинговых коммуникаций в розничной торговли региона в малом бизнесе.Область применения результатов: полученные результаты целесообразно применять экономическими субъектами, осуществляющими розничную торговлю и развивающими развитие маркетинговой деятельности в условиях конкуренции и падения спроса.

The main objectives of this research were to determine the effects of applying organic and chemical fertilizers under different irrigation regimes on sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) morphological traits, yield components, grain yield and grain quality. The experiment was conducted as spilt plots based on a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Irrigation treatments at three levels (well-irrigated, mild and severe drought stress) were allocated to main plots and eight fertilizer treatments (urea (F1), urea + composted cattle manure (F2), zeocompost (F3), vermicompost (F4), zeolite-amended chicken manure (Z-ACM) (F5), zeocompost + vermicompost (F6), zeocompost + Z-ACM (F7) and vermicompost + Z-ACM (F8)) were randomized in sub-plots. The results showed that irrespective of the drought stress intensity, organic fertilizer treatments produced more dry matter, heavier and greater grain than did chemical treatments. In well-irrigated plots, the highest grain yield was obtained from F6, F7 and F8 treatments. Under drought stress conditions, the highest grain yield was obtained from the high zeolite content organic fertilizers i.e. F3, F5 and F7. We concluded that amending soil with organic fertilizers in combination with zeolite can be a beneficial approach for decreasing chemical fertilizer application rates and improving the sustainability of agricultural systems.

Published: April 2019

An experiment was carried out to determine the effect of foliar application of seaweed extract (0.2 %) on the growth, yield and quality of cherry tomato under stress and non-stress conditions. The greenhouse experiment was set up in a randomized block design with four treatments in three replications. Treatments were as follows: V1 - seedlings treated by seaweed extract and subjected to drought; V2 - seedlings treated by seaweed extract and regularly watered; V3 - non-treated seedlings subjected to drought; V4 - non-treated seedlings regularly watered. Cherry tomato seedlings treated by seaweed extract had a lower content of proline and higher leaf water potential compared to non-treated seedlings under stress conditions, indicating that application of this fertilizer contributes to better adaptation of cherry tomato seedlings to stress. Treatment with seaweed extract also positively influenced the yield and quality of cherry tomato (total soluble solids, vitamin C, lycopene) under both standard and drought stress conditions as compared to untreated plants in same conditions. Positive effects of seaweed extract on growth and quality of cherry tomato are result of its specific composition, as well as ability of cherry tomato plants to utilize bioactive substances in seaweed extracts for its growth and development.

Published: April 2019

In greenhouse production of a number of vegetable and ornamental plant species, a short diurnal temperature drop in the end of the night or in the morning is commonly used to reduce stem elongation as an alternative to chemical growth retardants. Experiments were carried out to quantify the effects of a temperature drop at different times of the day and night on growth and photosynthetic activity of young cucumber plants. During 6 days plants were exposed daily to a temperature of 10 °C for 2 h at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the night and day periods. The results have shown that plant response to drop may be qualitatively different in the light and darkness. While strongest effects of drop are observed when it is given in the daytime, for practical application in greenhouses it is more appropriate to reduce temperature at night. However, it may not be strictly necessary for cucumber seedlings to apply drop at the end of the night as it was stated in the literature. Thus, our results may cast doubt on the following statements: (a) temperature drops are not effective when delivered at other times of the day or night (except before sunrise), (b) optimal time for drop effects depends on the daily dynamics of stem and petiole elongation rate. It is rather drop itself is capable of modifying the dynamics of plant growth in the daily cycle.

Published: April 2019

The experiment was done on 202 new chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) landraces with 2 checks to assess the association, direct and indirect effect of different characters on yield. The experiment was planted at Sirinka and Jari, Ethiopia, under rain fed condition in 2016 using alpha lattice design with three replications. Data were collected on yield and yield related traits. Analysis of variance showed highly significant differences among genotypes. The correlation of grain yield with biomass and with harvest index was positive and highly significant both at genotypic and phenotypic levels. In addition, its association with pod filling period, plant height, secondary branches and hundred seed mass was positive but insignificant both at genotypic and phenotypic levels. Path coefficient analysis at genotypic level showed that among the 15 causal (independent) traits; biomass, harvest index, pod length, days to pod setting, pod filing period, canopy width, primary branches, secondary branches, and number of pods per plant had positive and directly influence on grain yield. Although the days to flowering, plant height and hundred seed mass had positive genotypic correlation with grain yield. In general correlation coupled with path coefficient analysis revealed that biomass and harvest index had a direct relationship with seed yield.
Seed yield of two new quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) breeding lines as affected by sowing date in Central Italy
Authors: CASINI Paolo
Published: April 2019

Research on the introduction of quinoa in Italy is currently lacking. The present research was aimed at identifying the correct sowing period. Field experiment was consucted in Cesa, Tuscany, in 2017. Two new breeding lines coded as DISPAA-Q42 and DISPAA-Q47-CB were utilized. Three sowing dates (SD) were implemented: February 23; March 17 and April 27. Results showed that the most successful SD was February 23. A significant decrease in both seed yield and a delay in phenological phases, relating to plant maturation and flowering was associated with the sequential delay in SD in both lines. Results also showed a significant effect of lines on yield, true-leaf stage development, flower development and maturity. Only DISPAA-Q42 was considered suitable for cultivation in the Tuscan environment. DISPAA-Q47-CB was the more susceptible line, due to the sequential delay in SD and delayed plant maturation. No effect between lines was evident for protein and saponin content. The present study clearly shows the potential for the successful cultivation of quinoa in Central Italy, and highlights the necessity of taking into consideration both breeding lines and SD in order to accomplish this goal.

To study their hybridization potential, two species of the genus Aegilops (Aegilops geniculata Roth; Aegilops triuncialis L.) and two durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) varieties (‘Oued Zenati’ and ‘Hoggar’) were crossed, where Aegilops was the female parent. The four cross combinations were tested during five years in order to release the genitors having the most affinity for obtaining interspecific hybrids. The parents were also characterized for their drought stress tolerance during the crossing period. The results confirm the tolerance of Aegilops sp. and adaptation of the durum wheat varieties to climatic conditions governing the Algerian cereal zones. 81 hybrids F1 were obtained. Differences in hybridization affinity between the parents were very remarkable. The combination of parents Aegilops geniculata/’ Oued Zenati’ has produced the highest number of hybrids (54 or a rate of 5.23 %), followed by Aegilops triuncialis/’Oued Zenati’ (18 hybrids or a rate of 3.88 %). The crossing of the two Aegilops species with the Hoggar variety produced a small number of hybrids. Among the advantages of this crossing, the obtaining of hybrids in caryopsis without resorting to the embryos rescue. Hybrid seedlings expressed a maternal cytoplasmic heredity. However, no adult plant could have been regenerated.

The object of the study was the evaluation of the morphological variability of 92 wheat germplasm (Triticum aestivum L.) part of ex situ collection of Plant Genetic Resources Institute, Agricultural University of Tirana. Principal components and cluster analysis were carried out involving 8 quantitative traits, such as tiller capacity, plant height, spike length, number of spikelet per spike, number of seeds per spikelet, number of seeds per spike, seed size and of seeds per spike. Plant height showed positive significant correlation with yield contributing traits as spike length (r = 0.560) and the number of spikelet’s per spike (r = 0.305). The number of grains per spike had a significant positive relationship with the mass of grains per spike. Three principal components exhibited about 66.42 % of variability where two PCs components influenced mostly the variability (PC1 with 28.1 % and PC2 with 24.43 %). Accessions were grouped into three major clusters based on complete linkage, suggesting for a variance at the level of 27.50 % within a class and 72.50 % between classes. The results suggested that plant height, spike length, number of spikelet per spike were the most important characters in differentiating the genotypes.

Estimating the Recovery Rates for Unsecured Loans to Small Sized Firms
Authors: Toshiro Masahiro , Tasaki Masao , Hikidera Yusuke , Hibiki Norio
Published: April 2019

We analyze the recovery rates of 66,928 Japanese unsecured loans in default by ordered logistic regression. We divide the defaulted firms by sole proprietorships and industrial corporations and analyze the recovery rates for each type of firms. The recovery rate for sole proprietorships is larger than that for industrial corporations. Moreover, we model not only the recovery rate during five years at the time of default but also that evaluated at the time of loan appraisal for each type of firms, and we call them “loan model” and “after-default model” respectively. The significant factors with large regression coefficients are different for each model and each type of firms. We find that these are (1) guarantee by business owner’s family in two models for each type of firms, (2) firm age in two models for industrial corporations, (3) exposure rate at default in the after-default model for each type of firms, (4) obligor’s real-estate value minus debt amount, initial loan amount, and white tax return in the loan model for sole proprietorships. The values of Somers’ D for the after-default model are larger than those for the loan model because the exposure rate at default which has large estimates can be available at time of default. The values of Somers’ D for sole proprietorships are larger than those for industrial corporations. We divide all defaulted loans into four classes based on the score evaluated by the model, and validate the ratings of the actual recovery rates through three kinds of statistical tests. In addition, we conduct out-of-sample tests, and examine the usefulness of the model.

The optimal preparation conditions of activated carbon (AC) derived from corncob (CC) by steam activation were investigated using response surface methodology. In response to iodine adsorption capacity, experimental design was established using three synthetic variables based on the Box–Behnken central composite design. The optimum conditions of 892 °C activation temperature, 40 min residence time, and 1:1.6 the mass ratio of char to H2O gave 1216.74 mg/g iodine adsorption value. AC was characterized using instrumental analyses consist of Brunauere-Emmette-Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of experimental parameters such as adsorption time, adsorbent dosage and pH on the uptake of methylene blue (MB) were studied. Experimental equilibrium data was analyzed by the Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips and Koble–Corrigan isotherm models. The results showed that the Freundlich and Koble–Corrigan models could properly represent the adsorption behavior of MB on AC. In addition, it was known that the adsorption of MB was a spontaneous and endothermic process from the thermodynamic parameters of ΔG, ΔHand ΔS.

Representing Gender: Visual Literacy Instruction in the Academic Library
Authors: Fullmer Millicent
Published: April 2019

Contemporary society is dominated by visual communication, yet visual literacy is a learned skill that requires training. Gender issues, particularly the subjects of gender diversity and power struggles, are deeply pertinent to today’s visual culture. The critical consumption of information has long been taught in libraries, though instruction has typically prioritized text-based sources. However, visual literacy instruction has the capacity to provoke critical inquiry into issues of gender, race, social class, and ethnicity. As institutions that promote social justice, libraries can help improve diversity and inclusion in their communities through teaching visual literacy skills at all levels. Critical visual literacy instruction can also help academic libraries advance student scholarship, which can only be achieved if they are literate in all forms of knowledge production.

In the plastic-processing industry, the formation of unknown deposits at the interface between polymer melt and steel surfaces can pose major challenges, which occurs especially on screws, barrels, and tools. These deposits will detach during production and lead to quality restrictions mostly as spots in the products. We investigated the interactions between tool steel and polymer melt, especially polycarbonate, in the early stages of deposit formation. Steel-polymer-composite samples are prepared close to the realistic conditions in the plastic-processing industry. To get further insight, thin polymer films on tool steel specimens and its alloy elements, representing model systems, are prepared. X-ray-photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) are used to characterize the interfaces chemically. Additionally, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used. We found iron and chromium diffusion into the polycarbonate melt induced by polymer metal interaction. Iron and polymer chains are immobilized at the interface by a chemical interaction, while chromium does not chemically interact with the polymer melt. Basing on these results, we propose a mechanism for deposit formation in plastic-processing machines and tools.

Sau M., Chakraborty M., Das R. and Mukherjee S. 2018.Effect of multiple adjoining habitats on avifaunal diversity in an agriculture based-wetland adjacent to the Hooghly River, West Bengal, India. Ring 40: 59-92.

This study was conducted on four plots having a cluster of different combinations of forest, wetland, and agricultural land, as well as a single marshland habitat near the river Hooghly. We obtained 17,817 counts for 150 species in 32 days of year-round sampling. The wetland-agricultural land associated with forest had the highest species diversity (132 species, Shannon̄H–1.63), heterogeneity (ShannonJ’ –0.773), and number of unique species (33 species), and the lowest dominance (Simpson Index 1/D –39.35), in contrast with the marsh, which had the lowest diversity (41 species, Shannon̄H –1.39), highest homogeneity (ShannonJ’– 0.863), and a lack of uniqueness. The plot with secondary forest patches between an agricultural field and human settlements showed the highest species dominance (Simpsons Diversity 1/D– 17.465). Species rarity ranged from 68.2% to 77.6% within the area under study. There were 25 species common to all plots, which formed six distinct groups based on their abundance. Carnivores were found to be the dominant foraging guild throughout the habitats. Thirty-two per cent of the species are migratory, with the familiesScolopacidaeandMotacillidaepredominating. The Jaccard and Sorensen indices reveal the greatest species similarity between the wetlandpisciculture plot and the marshland. These indices together with the hierarchical cluster analysis indicate the uniqueness of the plot of open forest habitat adjoining the wetland, which offers the best living conditions for migratory species. Our study concludes that when a wetland is surrounded by agriculture rather than fisheries, avifaunal diversity increases, whereas forest-associated wetland-farmland maximizes species richness with minimum dominance and hence imparts greater stability to the overall community structure.

Authors: Grădinaru Sorin , Grădinaru Csilla
Published: April 2019

Introduction: The second division tournament that allows the teams to move up in the first league had, at the start, the 4 best teams in the country. Taken place in Timisoara, between the 12th - 14th of May 2017, this competition gave us the possibility to follow the way in which UVT Agroland Timisoara improve its own attack. This action, according to the statisticians, had the most weight in obtaining the majority of the points.

Aim: This study estaablishes the efficiency of UVT Agroland Timisoara’s attack according to the statistics that were taken out during the 3 games when the team played in the tournament. Moreover, this study highlights the gap between the team in question and the rest of the pack. Heterogeneous in terms of age, the hitters represent both young players (15-16 years old) and also experience ones (28-30 years old). This aspect was managed very well by the head coach who created a perfect connection between young and veteran players.

Metods: For carrying out this study we used the following research methods: study of the literature, observational methods, mathematical and statistical methods.

Results: In the wining sets the efficiency of the attack was 68% and on the losing sets the attack was just 45%. The average winning points of the opposing team is 17 points per set. This is an indication that the team in question (UVT Agroland Timisoara) wins relatively easy the sets that were monitored.

Conclusion: We found that the best efficiency of the attack was 79% in the winning sets. Second best was 62% in the sets that were won very hard. And the lowest efficiency was 46% in the sets that were won relatively easy. This variation of efficiency of the attack is due to some imperfections of the actions prior completing the point, and also the relaxation of the players who think that opposing team is proven to be inferior.

Objectives: To establish the physical condition of “Aurel Vlaicu” Arad University' students, in relation with declared weekly physical activity, assuming that there are statistically significant differences between BMI, recreational physical activities and performances of the monitored samples according to physical condition standards data.

Subjects. A number of 1169 students were evaluated, male (n=539), female (n=630), with gender median age: male 22.55y ± 5.59y, female 21.61y ± 4.87y.

Methods: Anthropometric parameters (height, weight, BMI) were measured. Also, the following tests were performed: running speed (S), standing long jump (LJ), pushup (P), trunk lift (TL), Home Step Test (HST); and questionnaire DWPA (declared weekly physical activities). The data was processed with SPSS 14.0 for Windows and MedCalc.

Results: By associating the declared weekly exercise with cardiovascular capacity, we found that although there is a positive correlation, for the results of the HST and the frequency of the declared weekly exercise this correlation is insignificant.

Conclusions: Those who tend to exercise for more than twice a week have small cardiovascular endurance and low level motor skills. This suggests that exercise intensity is inadequate and does not lead to morphological and functional adaptive changes in the cardiopulmonary system, nor do they improve the students’ motor skills. The absence of proper physical condition, in addition to the mostly sedentary nature of future graduates’, jobs increases the risk of occurrence of diseases associated with physical inactivity.
The impact of sport education on fundamental values
Authors: Abălașei Beatrice , Iacob Radu , Puni Rareș
Published: April 2019

Sports values are those through which the human being attempts to develop under the rules, decisions, regulations, laws drafted by national or international organizations and accepted by each athlete.

In the physical education lesson, when one or more values are appropriated, becoming convictions, they particularly structure the student's behavior, child's behavior and constitute an authentic leader of the actions and the way they are. Athletic activity is the only way to systematically and continuously develop sporting values and the desire to compete induced in the physical education lesson where students receive a knowledge system that forms a true theory of competition - all in the spirit of friendship, knowledge and mutual respect based on human being dignity.

The aim of our approach is to educate children with universal values, Olympic values, and create a selfless, proactive, collaborative behavior that removes hierarchy.

At the basis of education in the spirit of universal values will be sports games with modified rules.

At the basis of the study, the survey method was based on a questionnaire and the analysis combined the qualitative and the quantitative interpretation.

The results of the study point to the need to educate children through the means of action specific to physical education and sport, implicit of universal ones.

Authors: Leșe Ana-Cristina
Published: April 2019

The teaching discipline entitled the Training of the body expression sums those activities that imply the body and which come in varied forms, both as motor structures and as functional features. In the following, we will try to bring arguments in support of the idea that body education (Physical Education) should be the starting point for the Stage Movement (The training of the body expression), first of all, but also for other disciplines of movement, included in the Actor’s Art curriculum (pantomime, fencing, dance).

The aim of the research was to develop a methodology for the development of resistance motric quality, using dynamic games, these means of education being specific to the children enrolled at primary school level in the 2nd class.

In this work we intended to emphasize that if we will conduct, for 10 weeks, one weekly physical education and sports lesson with pupils aged between 8 and 10, a lesson in addition to the two activities provided in the curriculum, in which to use dynamic games that aim at increasing the effort capacity, we will achieve an improvement in motor capacity, with emphasis on motor strength.

The research was carried out in several stages: a first stage in which the bibliographic study of the specialized literature was carried out, a stage in which the initial evaluation was carried out, a stage of application of the stimulus program with specific means, a final evaluation stage of the subjects and a stage of processing the collected data and formulating the conclusions. The sample of the survey was made up of 30 pupils at the level of primary education in the 2nd grade, aged between 8 and 10 years. The 30 pupils were divided into two distinct groups in terms of gender, consisting of 15 boys and 15 girls. In the research were used four resistance evaluating tests.

The stimulus program consisted of a weekly physical education lesson for 10 weeks, lessons in which pupils played 20 games. Comparing the values recorded by the pupils in the initial assessment with the values recorded in the final assessment, it was concluded that all pupils had better values in the tests that concerned the motor quality of the resistance.
