In this world, different terrestrial bird species are major factor that contribute significantly to biodiversity, especially in green vegetated areas on land and in marine or freshwater environments. Objective: To find out the declined breeding biology of House Sparrow bird, belonging to the Passeridae family, worldwide. The female Sparrow has a dull color, while the male is brightly colored and is mostly found in rural areas with human populations nearby. Methods: The study was conducted in three different villages in Taluka Jhando Mari from March 2023 to March 2024. Results: A total of 108 clutches were observed, with a total of 436 eggs. Out of these, 351 eggs hatched, resulting in an 82% hatching success rate, while 35 (9.34%) eggs were non-fertile and 43 (11.01%) were broken or damaged. The maximum number of populations was recorded in June, and the minimum in December in different Talukas. Conclusions: It is concluded that the variation in the population and breeding biology of House Sparrows can be increased by providing artificial nests during the breeding season from March to June.
Troops Management Systems And The Difference Of Cultures. Part Ii (Variants and Lessons of Russian, Soviet and Other Models for Us)
Authors: Hovhannisyan Artsrun , Davoyan Vachagan
Published: July 2024

Due to the absence of domestic military science as a separate branch of science, the topic touched on by the USSR’s GS and management culture, the largest bearer of the German model after the FWW, remains an open topic. The Russian and especially the Soviet model was based on the Prussian model and even more today continues to bear the influence of the latter, but in a more refined form. The Russian army was one of the first in the world to follow Prussian innovations. The British model was and still is unacceptable to the Russian mentality and value system. The problem is that liberalism has always been punished in this country, serfdom is still very deep in public perception. It should also be noted that the influence of the Soviet model among the post-Soviet countries was quite large and is still large. But in the second decade of the 20th century, a number of post-Soviet countries began to abandon this model one after another. Although the Soviet model seems to be the main one among the CSTO countries, nevertheless, as a result of the reforms taking place in the Armenian Army after the 44- Day War of 2020, there are tendencies to abandon that model. We hope that they will have a fundamental nature

Published: July 2024

Application of pesticides is an accessible practice against different insects and pest of a wide ranges of crops in Bangladesh Pesticide retailers are involved to recommend and sale of pesticide to the farmers in Bangladesh. A comprehensive survey was conducted to retailers and farmers in six Upazilas of two districts of north-eastern part of Bangladesh using structured questionnaire. To collect data, 54 retailers and 150 farmers were interviewed using simple random sampling method focusing on the information related to the knowledge and experience on pesticide and pest management with farmer’s attitudes towards pesticide retailers. Retailing business is being conducted by only male (100%) and 85.2% of retailers was involved in personal business. Regardless of their educational status, the retailers engage in agrochemical industries where 94.5% retailers got the registration from UAO. It was observed that 31.5% of retailers have higher secondary education followed by secondary (25.9%) and primary (18.5%). Surprisingly, only 1.9% of retailers completed a diploma course on pesticide where maximum (68.5%) received a short training that organized by Agriculture Office and different pesticide companies. Moreover, 20.4% of retailers did not participate in any kind of training while 42.6% attended short training. The facilities like standard safety measures, first aid kit, and firefighting equipment are not available in most of the retail shops, although 22.2% of shops have poor storage facilities. According to 81.5% retailers, pesticide applications have been increasing over the last 5 years. The overall scenario demonstrates the devastating and inappropriate use of chemical pesticides without proper knowledge and guidelines. It also represents the dominancy of pesticides applications over IPM. Long-term training of the retailers and strong monitoring of their practices is essential.

Published: July 2024

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most important tuber crops in the world and it is fourth among food crops after rice, wheat and maize. Potato is widely cultivated for its cheap source of carbohydrates, vitamins as well as minerals. In Cameroon, where potato provide a livelihood for most producers, especially in the Western highland, production is challenged by unavailability of appropriate seeds of local varieties or Cameroon improve varieties. Many decades ago, Cipira was released by the Institute of Agricultural Research for Development, Bambui, North West Region, Cameroon as an improved resistant variety. The current study evaluated the performance of Cipira considering seed sizes. Four seed sizes (20mm, 25mm, 30mm and 35mm diameter) were evaluated in a randomized complete block trial in Bambili in 2022 and 2023. Green peach aphid incidence was inversely related to tuber seed sizes (P < 0.05). Aphid population abundance was higher from plants with larger diameter. Late blight and bacterial wilt incidence and disease severity index was significantly higher for plants of smaller tuber seed size. Productivity was 8.06 t ha-1, 6.2 t ha-1, 5.7 t ha-1 and 5.8 t ha-1 from 35mm, 30mm, 25mm and 20mm tuber seed sizes, respectively in 2022. The yield in 2023 was 8.9 t ha-1, 7.8 t ha-1, 7.1 t ha-1, and 6.3 t ha-1, from 35mm, 30mm, 25mm and 20mm, respectively. For improved yield and reduced pest and diseases incidences, Cipira at 30 mm and 35 mm seed sizes are recommended.
Procedural justice and criminal behavior
Authors:   , van Hall Matthias
Published: July 2024

This dissertation shows that perceived procedural justice matters because
those who feel treated procedurally just by criminal justice authorities also feel
more obligated to obey the law and are less likely to get reconvicted. Moreover, this
dissertation has provided insight on the question to what extent—and why—justice-
involved individuals feel treated procedurally just by criminal justice authorities. In
essence, the findings show that all authorities in the criminal justice system can
ensure and improve perceived procedural justice, but this does not necessarily mean
that positive consequences of procedural justice apply for several subgroups of
justice-involved individuals. The current dissertation aimed to guide further research
on the dynamics of perceived procedural justice during justice-involved individuals’
encounters with practitioners in the criminal justice system and on the potential of
procedural justice to reduce criminal behavior.

Authors: Shu Yan-Ping , Zhang Qin , Hou Yong-Zhe , Liang Shuang , Zheng Zu-Li , Li Jia-Lin , Wu Gang
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Major depressive disorder (MDD) in adolescents and young adults contributes significantly to global morbidity, with inconsistent findings on brain structural changes from structural magnetic resonance imaging studies. Activation likelihood estimation (ALE) offers a method to synthesize these diverse findings and identify consistent brain anomalies.

AIM

To identify consistent brain structural changes in adolescents and young adults with MDD using ALE meta-analysis.

METHODS

We performed a comprehensive literature search in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases for neuroimaging studies on MDD among adolescents and young adults published up to November 19, 2023. Two independent researchers performed the study selection, quality assessment, and data extraction. The ALE technique was employed to synthesize findings on localized brain function anomalies in MDD patients, which was supplemented by sensitivity analyses.

RESULTS

Twenty-two studies comprising fourteen diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies and eight voxel-based morphometry (VBM) studies, and involving 451 MDD patients and 465 healthy controls (HCs) for DTI and 664 MDD patients and 946 HCs for VBM, were included. DTI-based ALE demonstrated significant reductions in fractional anisotropy (FA) values in the right caudate head, right insula, and right lentiform nucleus putamen in adolescents and young adults with MDD compared to HCs, with no regions exhibiting increased FA values. VBM-based ALE did not demonstrate significant alterations in gray matter volume. Sensitivity analyses highlighted consistent findings in the right caudate head (11 of 14 analyses), right insula (10 of 14 analyses), and right lentiform nucleus putamen (11 of 14 analyses).

CONCLUSION

Structural alterations in the right caudate head, right insula, and right lentiform nucleus putamen in young MDD patients may contribute to its recurrent nature, offering insights for targeted therapies.

Authors: Özbil Ertuğrul , Öğmen Seven Sultan , Mavideniz Açelya , İlktaç Mehmet
Published: July 2024

Ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), works by reducing hormones for the treatment of fever, inflammation, and pain. Previously, it was only shown that the Ibuprofen inhibits the effect of various bacteria that are stimulated by bacterial infections and not directly on bacterial cells. In this study, we aimed to investigate antibacterial and synergistic activities of Ibuprofen against Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 700603. The results revealed promising antibacterial activity against tested Gram-positive bacteria, but there was no effect on Gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, checkerboard assays did not reveal any additive or synergistic activity when combined with ciprofloxacin against tested Gram-positive bacteria. Collectively, our data reveal the selective antibacterial activity of ibuprofen against Gram-positive bacteria which suggests that ibuprofen can be further investigated as a potential source for new therapeutic options.

Essential oils (EO) of various species including Pimpinella cypria, Pimpinella kotshchyana, Pimpinella saxifraga, and Pimpinella anisum were reported to have antibacterial and antifungal activities. Furthermore, it was observed that P. anisum EO possessed antiviral properties.
Along with its antimicrobial activity, Pimpinella species were found to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, antispasmodic, estrogenic, cytotoxic, insecticidal, and repellent properties.
This review aims to provide an enhanced understanding on some Pimpinella species’ morphology, chemical constituent, industrial and medicinal usage, and antimicrobial activities against bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
Culturally Relevant Management Education: Insights from Experience in Nunavut
Authors: Wihak Christine
Published: July 2024

The author’s experience with a Nunavut business management education program illustrates how to develop culturally relevant organizational behavior curriculum. The process initially involved interviews with Inuit Elders about culturally appropriate responses to scenarios of cultural conflicts in the workplace identified by Inuit managers. The author then engaged in an experiential learning project working with an Aboriginal organization in southern Canada to develop a culturally appropriate organizational culture. The experience highlighted the importance of cross-cultural management educators recognizing diversity in another culture while actively demonstrating respect for and interest in the other culture’s values and beliefs. The author recommends that in an increasingly globalized world, cross-cultural management educators undertake similar efforts to develop organizational behavior curriculum that reflects culturally diverse world views.
Factors Affecting Teachers’ Grading and Assessment Practices
Authors: Duncan C. Randy , Noonan Brian
Published: July 2024

Teachers’ classroom grading and assessment practices are important elements of assessment reform. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of classroom learning factors such as class size, subject area, and school size on teachers’ classroom assessment practices. The results of a survey of 513 high school teachers showed evidence that teachers had implemented some aspects of assessment reform and that one classroom learning factor (i.e., subject) had a modest effect on teachers’ practices. The results also indicate a need for more research on factors that affect teachers’ assessment decisions and the effect of these decisions on implementing assessment reform.
Expectations and Experiences of Substitute Teachers
Authors: Duggleby Patricia , Badali Sal
Published: July 2024

This article explores the expectations of support for and the experiences of substitute teachers in an urban school division in Saskatchewan. Data were collected in semistructured interviews with seven substitute teachers. The purpose of the study was to explore how substitute teachers frame their professional experiences and construct their roles in complex institutional contexts. The findings indicate that although participants view some of their work as highly positive, there are significant observable tensions in their professional lives. Work satisfactions and dissatisfactions of substitute teachers are discussed. Overall, results indicate a number of issues: substitute teachers are an integral part of the education system; professional teacher associations, although theoretically acknowledging the professional membership of substitute teachers, do not include them in professional activities; school divisions are ultimately responsible for the work of substitute teachers; and the future seems bleak for those who believe they have been condemned to the substitute list.

Authors: McMahon Brenda J.
Published: July 2024

This narrative study based on semistructured interviews seeks to further our understanding of students’ experiences of resilience factors and processes and of educators’ roles in engendering resilient environments. First, I provide a brief overview of current educational literature on resilience. Second, I draw on data from interviews with nine participants about their academic success in which they discuss personal resilience factors as well as resilience processes enacted in familial, friendship, and school environments. Last, I propose suggestions for further discussion and identify key issues for education administrators to be aware of in the creation and maintenance of school environments that foster resilience.
Educating for Global Citizenship: Conflicting Agendas and Understandings
Authors: Shultz Lynette
Published: July 2024

Educating for global citizenship is increasingly named as a goal of education. This study examines the variations in intent and approach to global education and educating for global citizenship. A review of the literature identifies the links between citizenship and globalization as well as the conflicting discourses and agendas surrounding citizenship education in a globalized neoliberal policy context. Using a conceptual framework that highlights three contrasting approaches to globalization—a neoliberal approach, a radical approach, and a transformational approach—this article compares three global education policies and their citizenship education approaches and highlights the issues implicit in each as well as the problems and possibilities for furthering a social justice agenda. The article concludes that education for global citizenship is a complex and contested concept and that educators who claim to be educating for global citizenship must be clear on the implications of their work.

Understanding Student Cognition Through an Analysis of Their Preconceptions in Physics
Authors: Zhou George , Nocente Norma , Brouwer Wytze
Published: July 2024

Over the last three decades, many studies have been conducted to identify students’ preconceptions on various science topics. It is time now for a synthetic study of preconceptions to enhance our understanding of students’ everyday cognition and to benefit our effort in developing effective instructional inventions for conceptual change. Through a classroom-based study, we collected quantitative and qualitative data about students’ preconceptions in physics. Data analysis produced an in-depth understanding of the features of students’ preconceptions and cognition. For example, we found that students thought analogically as scientists did, but they used analogies differently. We also found that students’ preconceptions were highly correlated and that some preconceptions were more fundamental than others. Having the core preconception probably means having many others. The pedagogical and research implications of these findings are highlighted.
Ability and Achievement Variables in Average, Low Average, and Borderline Students and the Roles of the School Psychologist
Authors: Claypool Tim , Marusiak Christopher , Janzen Henry L.
Published: July 2024

This study contributes to ongoing research in the field of school psychology by examining some of the effects of using the Full Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ) to classify students aged 6-16 years according to their results on an individual measure of intelligence, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Third Edition (WISC-III, 1991). Levels of achievement in word-reading and mathematics calculation were compared for 196 students classified as Average (IQ ranging from 90-109), Low Average (IQ ranging from 80-89), or Borderline (IQ ranging from 70-79). In all cases the Low Average and Borderline groups’ achievement levels differed significantly from that of the Average group. The fact that reading and mathematics abilities were not differentiated when Low Average and Borderline groups were compared calls into question the veracity of these labels.
Turbulence Modulation By Large Heavy Particles In Wall-Bounded Turbulence
Authors: Owolabi Bayode Emmanuel , Jäckel Robert , Moriconi Luca , Loureiro Juliana Braga Rodrigues
Published: July 2024

"Most studies on particle laden flows have focused either on small heavy particles or large neutrally buoyant particles. We present, for the first time (to the best of our knowledge), results in the regime of large and heavy particles, investigating the particle-turbulence dynamics over a parameter space covering a wide range of particle-volume fractions, Stokes and Froude numbers.  We consider a flow in a pipe aligned with the gravitational vector, thus allowing for the investigation of the two-way coupling between particles and carrier phase turbulence, while excluding the effect of gravity on the wall-normal migration of particles. Time-resolved images of both tracers (10 micrometers particles) and the dispersed particles (700 micrometers in diameter) were taken in the streamwise-wall-normal pipe plane using a planar particle image velocimetry (PIV) system consisting of a high speed camera (Phantom VEO 440), and an Nd:YLF Laser as light source. Using Voronoi tessellations to analyze the inertial particle dynamics, we show a strong deviation from Poisson behaviour for cases with and without turbophoresis. From the time-resolved PIV measurements, we  also show that the carrier phase turbulence is modulated even at particle concentrations as low as 0.3% indicating that particle-induced stresses due to distortion of fluid streamlines cannot be neglected. An increase or decrease in the peak streamwise velocity fluctuation in the particle laden flow was observed, depending on the Stokes number, while the radial velocity fluctuation was found either to be the same as in the single phase flow case or higher.  Furthermore, pressure drop measurements indicate a linear increase in the skin friction coefficient with volume fraction of particles. This was true for all Stokes and Froude numbers considered. The growth rate (β) of the skin friction coefficient was however observed to be only a function of the Froude number. A power-law fit to the data shows that β scales inversely with the Froude number indicating that for Froude numbers less than 1, the influence of gravity cannot be neglected.

Published: July 2024

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and airline companies implemented various measures to prevent the spread of the virus and reduce the risk of transmission. Among the various measures implemented, those utilizing digital technologies to minimize contact between passengers at airport terminals and ground services personnel have been particularly noteworthy. Self-service technologies not only enhance time and space efficiency but also minimize interpersonal contact. This research aims to evaluate the positive impact of COVID-19 measures implemented at Dalaman Airport on passenger satisfaction and to examine the role of digital technologies in this effect. To this end, face-to-face surveys were conducted with at least 415 passengers at Dalaman Airport between October and November 2023. The data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS program to determine the effects of COVID-19 measures and digital technologies on passenger satisfaction. The research factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation, and regression analyses to examine the relationships between satisfaction, digitization, and measures reducing discomfort, revealing significantly positive relationships. As a result, this research recommends airport management to realign technology investments and customer service policies centered on passenger satisfaction. Digitalisation efforts can facilitate passengers to better adapt to new norms and provide a safer and more comfortable travel experience. The research also highlights that future studies with generalized findings across a wider range of airports and passenger demographics will develop a more comprehensive understanding of how digital technologies can be used more effectively in the aviation sector.

Integrasi bantuan sosial dan jaminan sosial memiliki peran yang penting dalam mengurangi risiko saat guncangan terjadi, dimana mereka memberikan dukungan secara langsung serta memberikan perlindungan jangka panjang terhadap risiko ekonomi yang dialami. Melalui kerangka Perlindungan Sosial Adaptif (PSA), integrasi bantuan sosial dan jaminan sosial dapat meningkatkan pengelolaan risiko kehidupan dan mata pencaharian individu yang lebih efektif dengan membangun ketahanan rumah tangga miskin dan rentan dalam menghadapi guncangan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan tujuan untuk mengidentifikasi tantangan yang dialami dalam pengimplementasian program bantuan dan jaminan sosial di Indonesia, khususnya dalam merespon terhadap risiko bencana dan perubahan iklim, serta merumuskan integrasi program-program tersebut ke dalam kerangka PSA. Sintesis literatur, analisis kebijakan, dan pengumpulan data sekunder dilakukan untuk memberikan wawasan yang komprehensif mengenai kebijakan PSA. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa program bantuan dan jaminan sosial penting dalam mengurangi kerentanan masyarakat terhadap risiko guncangan seperti bencana dan perubahan iklim, meskipun masih dihadapkan pada berbagai tantangan seperti ketidakakuratan data dan cakupan penerima manfaat yang terbatas. Dari analisis tersebut, diketahui bahwa program bantuan dan jaminan sosial reguler mampu melindungi dari risiko kesehatan, pekerjaan, dan lanjut usia. Beberapa program bantuan dan jaminan sosial lainnya sudah lebih adaptif dengan memiliki perluasan perlindungan terhadap risiko bencana dan perubahan iklim. Dalam memperluas manfaat dan cakupan penerima manfaat program bantuan dan jaminan sosial sesuai dengan kerangka PSA, beberapa strategi dapat dilakukan, termasuk penguatan sistem satu data, perluasan dan pengintegrasian program bantuan dan jaminan sosial, serta peningkatan akses jaminan sosial pada berbagai sektor mata pencaharian.

During the 2017-2018 period, as part of the joint Mongolian-German project “Geomagnetic and pedestrian survey of Khar Khul Khan Balgas”, a discovery of 177 earthen mounds was made and documented in the Ulziit Denzh area of Erdenemandal Sum, Arkhangai Province. Further excavation work in 2018 focused on feature 172, leading to the uncovering of a unique burial site. Here, a female skeleton was found in an extraordinary position with an extreme crouched belly posture. Accompanying her were artifacts including a pebble axe and a pear-shaped pumice stone, all discovered at a depth of approximately 230 cm below the surface. Laboratory analysis of the human bone samples determined that the relic dates back 6,000. Notably, this burial represents a rare find in Mongolian archaeology, previously unseen in the region. Research findings of a unique archaeological study related to the Neolithic period called “Ulziit Denzh” were published in prestigious international journals, contributing significantly to the field of science. From 2021 to 2023, the scientific research project “Study of the extremely rare burial complex dating back to the 7th millennium in central Mongolia (Ulziit Denzh site)” was successfully carried out. This project led to the establishment of a protection zone for the archaeological site and the completion of thorough exploration and excavation.

Our studies were conducted at the Hungarian University of Agricultural and Life Sciences in Karcag, where in 2023, due to favourable precipitation and temperature conditions, we had the opportunity to study the phytomass yields of a massively reproducing annual Trifolium species in a saline soil condition. Yield measurements (green yield, hay yield, crude protein yield, dry matter yield) showed that in all cases higher yields were measured in the Trifolium angulatum-covered grassland than in the control grassland, and statistical analysis showed a close correlation in all cases. Through our studies, we aimed to provide new data on the specific floristic events in environmentally managed grassland in the Pannonian Basin from a farmer's perspective.

Józef Rostafiński (1850–1928), botanik i profesor Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego w Krakowie (wówczas Austro–Węgry), ogłosił w 1883 r. ankietę dotyczącą lokalnego nazewnictwa i użytkowania roślin na ziemiach polskich. Najbardziej kompletna wersja kwestionariusza zawierała pytania odnoszące się do około 130 gatunków. Wśród tych pytań jedno dotyczyło roślin używanych podczas świąt Bożego Narodzenia. Niniejsza praca jest opracowaniem przesłanych w odpowiedzi na ankietę informacji o tej grupie roślin, o której informacje zawarte były w 25 listach od 25 osób. (77 rekordów dotyczy 22 gatunków stosowanych głównie jako składniki tradycyjnych potraw wigilijnych, niekiedy także w praktykach magicznych.) Najczęściej w odpowiedziach pojawiają się dane dotyczące: Papaver somniferum L. – 9 razy oraz Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata L. – 7 razy. Informacje uzyskane w ankiecie są najstarszymi danymi na temat tej grupy roślin, jakie otrzymano od ludności wsi ze wszystkich ziem polskich. Świadczą nie tylko o tradycyjnej kuchni bożonarodzeniowej ludności wiejskiej zamieszkującej ziemie polskie, lecz także o związanych z roślinami przesądach, którym hołdowano w okresie Bożego Narodzenia w latach osiemdziesiątych XIX wieku.

The new space race, now played by several private companies and remarkable Asian new players, raises new considerations regarding the fair, enjoyable, sustainable, and economically feasible use of space products and their environment: the planet’s atmosphere and outer space. Inspired by the successful (but not easy nor cheap) path coursed by aviation, this article seeks to present a brief history of both industries (air and space) and the available legal framework for space matters in Brazil, Europe, the USA, and at the United Nations level. Lastly, this work discusses the necessity of creating an organization at the molds of ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) in the space sector to promote standardization and harmonization among players all around the globe involved in space operations.
