Authors: Corrêa Antônio Eugênio Furtado , Foster Eugénia da Luz Silva , Custódio Elivaldo Serrão
Published: December 2021

Este estudo analisa a influência da religião no processo de aprendizagem de educandos do ensino médio da modalidade Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) numa escola pública de Macapá-AP. Para tanto foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória com questionário e entrevistas não estruturadas para verificar o viés religioso presente nas respostas a temas do currículo desenvolvido na escola. O estudo mostrou que entre educandos do ensino médio da EJA há um conhecimento que explica fenômenos e conceitos de forma diferente daquela contida nos livros didáticos do sistema oficial de ensino e tal explicação possui um viés religioso concorrente com a narrativa escolar. O estudo visa contribuir com a reflexão pedagógica relacionada à EJA, ampliando a pesquisa nessa modalidade de ensino.
A ÉTICA PROTESTANTE E A LITERATURA INGLESA: O CASO DE JOHN MILTON
Authors: Sá Luiz Fernando Ferreira
Published: December 2021

O meu objetivo neste ensaio é isolar o caráter especificamente protestante da ética/estética de Milton em sua mudança da tradição para a inovação. Com Milton, a tarefa é duplamente difícil. O ressurgimento do Humanismo cristão no pensamento crítico contemporâneo parece coincidir com a defesa acadêmica de Milton contra seus detratores. Houve, consequentemente, uma tendência a recusar qualquer distinção entre fé em Milton e fé em Cristo.

Wrongdoing and Forgiveness in Boris Pasternak’s Doctor Zhivago
Authors: Głąb Anna
Published: December 2021

Could even the most ideal love justify betrayal? The author invites the reader to examine Boris Pasternak’s Doctor Zhivago through the lens of wrongdoing and forgiveness. She ponders whether Lara Antipova and Yura Zhivago can justify their actions with the beauty and the force of their love. In the light of the moral consequences of their actions, she finds such justification to be impossible. In her view the novel, culminating in the main characters’ deaths, opens itself to a transcendental sphere in which wounded people are laid bare in their humanity before themselves, free of the baggage of guilt and harm, ready for conciliation.
Inferencjalizm semantyczny. Studium analityczno-krytyczne filozofii języka Roberta B. Brandoma
Authors: Kublikowski Robert
Published: December 2021

Robert B. Brandom’s semantic inferentialism is an important and new theory of meaning in the contemporary, analytical philosophy of language. This theory is presented in an extensive way in the monograph entitled Making It Explicit: Reasoning, Representing and Discursive Commitment. The theory is pragmatic, normative, holistic and discursive. On the one hand, Brandom’s standpoint is glorified and on the other hand, it is controversial. This is why a metaphilosophical question arises: How to evaluate the impact of this theory into the philosophy of language? Inferentialism emphasises a material inference, de re ascription and the usage of demonstratives. Such categories are “vertical” and they accent „connection” with reality. Nevertheless, Brandom also emphasises an anaphoric concept of reference and truth. It makes his standpoint valuable because anaphoric understanding of reference and truth delivers an additional explication of the usage of words “refer to” or “is true.” But such categories are “horizontal.” Brandom grasps the problem of acquiring empirical meaning by expressions which initiate anaphoric chains. This is why he proposes — as an attempt of solving the problem — a modification of semantic inferentialism by adding revisionary and fallibilistic epistemology. In addition, Brandom enforces his theory by normative pragmatics which applies categories of assertion, entitlement, various commitments and a “score-keeping.” However, it seems that what is still missing is a notion of truth stronger than the one proposed in the anaphoric conception. What is requested is a notion of truth expressed in terms of the relation of the correspondence between a language and a reality. The disadvantage of the idea of correspondence is that it is difficult to define in a satisfactory way. But an important advantage is that it is “a language-reality” relation and not only “a language-language” relation. The objection does not demolish inferentialism. It expresses only a general epistemological difficulty of defining truth. However, the importance of inferentialism is that it tries to unite various elements. The theory attempts to explicate — in a more adequate way — what a meaning is and to explain how it is acquired by expressions.
The Readability Level of Arabic Textbook “Silsilah Fī Ta’līm al-Lughah al-‘Arabiyyah”
Authors: Zulharby Puti , Marzuq Ahmad , Ritonga Aziz
Published: December 2021

The purpose of this study was to know the readability level of textbook "Silsilah Fī Ta’līm al-Lughah al-‘Arabiyyah: Al-Mustawā Ats-Tsāniy, Al-Qirā`ah", and factors  affecting readability level in terms of word class tendencies and linguistic findings. This study also analyzed the level of reading ability of first-semester Arabic students at Universitas Negeri Jakarta and the types of texts recommended for use or further development by other researchers. This research was carried out using descriptive qualitative methods, and data were collected from 83 students who enrolled in the Qirā`ah course. Readability analysis techniques using the Cloze Procedure Test. The research showed that the readability of textbooks was 46% at the frustration level and 29% at the moderate level. The tendency of the word class to make errors generally occur in 1) 27% of perfect verbs, 2) 24% of nouns, 3) 16% of imperfect verbs. Other factors are 1) Reader Factor: about 43% of students in the Arabic Language Education Department come  from general/vocational high schools, 35% from Islamic high school, and only 22% from Islamic boarding schools; 2) Reading Factor: the textbooks writers from native Arabic speakers generally rely on their experience and culture in presenting the text regardless of readers ability as foreign speakers. 3) Book Factor: this book lacks vocabulary and illustrations in the form of pictures, so that it was less helpful in independent understanding.
La eclesiología del Concilio Vaticano II y de las conferencias generales del Episcopado Latinoamericano en los planes y las prácticas pastorales de la Arquidiócesis de Cali
Authors: Mayor Tamayo Jhon Fredy , Olaya Arenas Alejandro
Published: December 2021

Con ocasión del proyecto de investigación “La Sagrada Escritura en las prácticas pastorales de la Arquidiócesis de Cali (1965-2019)”, este artículo se propone realizar un discernimiento teológico de los presupuestos eclesiológicos que animaron la acción pastoral de la Iglesia en la ciudad de Cali. Lo anterior se hizo a partir de la revisión del proceso histórico de la Arquidiócesis desde sus prácticas pastorales y planes pastorales elaborados entre 1965 y 2019, considerando con especial atención las concepciones de Pueblo de Dios, Iglesia de comunión y participación y sinodalidad, que trajo en su momento el Concilio Vaticano II y los documentos de las conferencias generales del episcopado latinoamericano (Medellín, 1968; Puebla, 1979; Santo Domingo, 1992, y Aparecida, 2007). A partir de los presupuestos establecidos, se hizo una revisión de los documentos del archivo arquidiocesano y de algunos trabajos previos elaborados por otros investigadores, cuyo interés está en la sistematización de la presencia histórica de la Iglesia (Cali y el Valle del Cauca). El recorrido realizado permite identificar la forma en que esta Iglesia particular de Cali respondió tanto a las iniciativas de cambio propuestas en la Iglesia (universal y latinoamericana) como a los desafíos y retos que ha traído el devenir histórico de una ciudad en expansión. La disposición histórica para leer su quehacer pastoral en el horizonte teológico de los signos de los tiempos ha permitido configurar un estilo y una praxis pastoral que le ofrece grandes posibilidades para entrar en la dinámica sinodal.

A prebreeding study of introgression spring bread wheat lines carrying combinations of stem rust resistance genes, Sr22+Sr25 and Sr35+Sr25
Authors: Sibikeev S. N. , Baranova O. A. , Druzhin A. E.
Published: December 2021

The Sr22, Sr35, and Sr25 genes attract the attention of bread wheat breeders with their effectiveness against Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici race Ug99 and its biotypes. The effectiveness and impact of Sr22+Sr25 and Sr35+Sr25 gene combinations on agronomic traits have not yet been studied. In the present article, these traits were studied using the spring bread wheat lines L503/W3534//L503, L503/Sr35//L503/3/L503 carrying the Sr22+Sr25 and Sr35+Sr25 genes during 2016–2020. These lines were assessed for resistance to P. graminis f. sp. tritici under natural epiphytotics and to the Saratov, Lysogorsk and Omsk populations of the pathogen and to the PgtZ1 (TKSTF) and PgtF18.6 fungus isolates in laboratory conditions (TKSTF + Sr33). The presence of the studied Sr-genes was confirmed by using molecular markers. Prebreeding studies were conducted during 2018–2020 vegetation periods. Under the natural epiphytotics of the pathogen and in the laboratory conditions, the Sr22+Sr25 combination was highly effective, while Sr35+Sr25 was ineffective. For grain yield, the lines with the Sr22+Sr25 and Sr35+Sr25 genes were superior to the recipient cultivar L503 in one year (Sr22+Sr25 in 2019; Sr35+Sr25 in 2018), with a decrease in 2020, but in general there were no differences. For the period 2018–2020, both combinations showed a decrease in 1000 grains weight and an increase in the germination-earing period. The line with Sr22+Sr25 genes showed insignificant effects on gluten and dough tenacity, but the ratio of dough tenacity to extensibility was higher, and flour strength, porosity and bread volume were lower; in the line with Sr35+Sr25 genes, the gluten content was lower, but the strength, tenacity of the dough and the ratio of dough tenacity to extensibility were higher, flour strength and the porosity of the bread were at the recipient level, but the volume of bread was lower.
The Drivers of Acute Food Insecurity and the Risk of Famine
Authors: Quak Evert-jan
Published: December 2021

This rapid review synthesises the literature from academic, policy, and knowledge institution sources on the drivers of acute food insecurity and famines with a focus on key FCDO-partner countries. This review builds further on evidence already collected in other K4D helpdesk reports. The main conclusion of this rapid review is that the drivers of acute food insecurity are complex, often involving multiple and interrelated factors. The drivers for chronical food insecurity and acute food insecurity cannot be separated entirely from each other, as the evidence shows that slow-onset determinants of food insecurity could play a critical role during an event (or multiple events) that could trigger a food emergency. The literature shows that the political economy (e.g. food system governance or preparedness of institutions to disasters) and socioeconomic dynamics (e.g. shaping demand and supply of food) have become more relevant factors in any analysis on the drivers of acute food insecurity, acute malnutrition, and famine. This coincides with a shift in the literature away from global drivers of food insecurity and malnutrition toward localised dynamics on the national and sub-national level. The analytical framework of Howe (2018) that captures this complexity distinguishes pressure, hold, and self-reinforcing dynamics as key dimensions that explain potential pathways for famine. These could be political-induced, natural-induced, economical-induced, or socially induced, but most often a combination. Based on this framework and supported by the evidence from the literature, this rapid review assesses conflicts and protracted crises; climate change and pressure on natural resources; social inequalities; and economic shocks and food prices, as the key drivers of acute food insecurity and famine. Importantly, from the literature it seems clear that acute food insecurity is the result of changing vulnerabilities that link with different coping mechanisms of households and communities.
Correlation Between Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis-Measured Body Fat, Body Mass Index and Waist Circumference with Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients
Authors: Zam Zami Imam Mahbub , Pikir Budi Susetyo
Published: December 2021

Estimation of fat using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is thought to be a more predictive measure of cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment than body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference (WC). Percent body fat as measured using BIA (BIA-BF%) is independently associated with future cardiovascular events namely acute myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease. This study is conducted to determine the correlation between body fat which consists of BIA-BF%, percentage of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral fat level (Visceral Adipose Tissue/VAT) measured using BIA device, BMI and WC with CV risk factors (blood pressure, blood glucose level, LDL, HDL, TG, total cholesterol, HbA1c and serum fibrinogen) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Material and Methods : This study used a cross-sectional correlation analysis. Sample was 70 ACS patients that match with inclusion criteria. Results : We found significant correlations between BIA-BF% with diastolic blood pressure, TG, and total cholesterol (r = 0.246, r = 0.250, r = 0.348 respectively; p <0.05). There was a significant correlation between VAT with diastolic blood pressure, LDL, TG, total cholesterol, HbA1c, and fibrinogen (r = 0.299, r = 0.306, r = 0.278, r = 0.265, r = 0.292, r = 0.330 respectively, p <0.05). There was a significant correlation between the percentage SAT and HDL levels (r = 0.318; p <0.05). We found no correlation between BMI and WC with blood pressure, LDL, HDL, TG, blood glucose, HbA1c and fibrinogen levels in ACS patients. Conclusion: VAT and BIA-BF% correlate with several cardiovascular risk factors better than BMI and WC. Body fat examination using BIA may be done to manage risk factors in ACS patients.

Authors: Prismadani Maulia , Subagjo Agus
Published: December 2021

Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with a high rate of mortality and morbidity in patients with anomalies of heart valves. We present a case of a 23-year-old male known to have severe mitral regurgitation (MR) with a history of prolonged fever for 5 months. According to The Modified Duke Criteria, clinical sign and symptoms fulfilled one major criterion (echocardiography finding of vegetation on mitral valve) and three minor (fever of at least 380 Celsius, valvular heart disease as a predisposing heart condition, and positive blood culture for Lactococcus sp. and Pediococcus sp.) considered as definite IE. Fever is one of the most common symptoms of IE (>90% of cases). Patient with prolonged fever and structural abnormality of heart valve should be considered for acute or subacute of IE. Establishing an diagnosis of IE and appropriate antibiotic therapy will improve the patient's clinical condition, and reduce morbidity and mortality.

Published: December 2021

Aim: Evaluate the clinical effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma as a treatment for lichen sclerosus. Methods: A systematic review was performed. The electronic databases PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE®, Web of Science, Cochrane, clinicaltrials.gov were used to identify case studies, case series, prospective uncontrolled, and randomized controlled studies published between 1946 and April 21, 2021. Six prospective uncontrolled studies, one randomized double-blind prospective study, and one case report were included. Results: Platelet-rich plasma treatment was subjectively reported to improve quality of life, but objective measures demonstrating treatment efficacy were not observed. In addition, platelet-rich plasma preparation and administration between studies lacked standardization. Conclusion: Platelet-rich plasma may be used for symptomatic adjuvant treatment of lichen sclerosus, though additional double-blind controlled studies with standardized platelet-rich plasma protocols are needed to better characterize the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma.
Leveraging the Post Office Network to Foster Financial Inclusion
Authors: Msosa Steven Kayambazinthu
Published: December 2021

Financial inclusion has become a topic of discussion in emerging and developing nations since the majority of people continue to lack access to either formal or informal financial services. In many countries, the post office is seen as a vehicle for financial inclusion due to its extensive network. In addition, with the decline in sales of their core business, traditional mail has exacerbated the need for the post office to venture into financial services whilst simultaneously answering the call to bridge the gap in society, especially for the un-banked and under-banked communities. Moreover, there is a need for post-offices to protect their long-term vitality as a business. This paper provides a theoretical perspective of financial inclusion, the role that the post office can play and the challenges preventing an effective rollout of financial services. This review can help postal managers, governments and policy-makers to understand how they can effectively use the post office to serve the un-banked communities. In addition, the study has enriched the academic discourse by providing literature on postal financial services and financial inclusion.
Electrochemical and Mechanistic Study of Structure–Activity Relationship of α-, β-, γ-, and δ-Tocopherol on Superoxide Elimination in N,N-Dimethylformamide through Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer
Authors: Nakayama Tatsushi , Honda Ryo , Kuwata Kazuo , Usui Shigeyuki , Uno Bunji
Published: December 2021

Abstract: Elimination of superoxide radical anion (O2•−) by tocopherols (TOH), and related compounds was investigated on the basis of cyclic voltammetry and in situ electrolytic electron spin resonance spectral measurements in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Quasi-reversible O2/O2•− redox was modified by the presence of TOHs, suggesting that the electrogenerated O2•− was eliminated by α-, β-, γ-TOH through proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET), but not by δ-TOH. The structure–activity correlation of α-, β-, γ-, and δ-TOH characterized by methyl group on the 6-chromanol ring was experimentally confirmed, where the methyl group promotes the PCET mechanism. Furthermore, comparative analyses using some related chemical analogues suggested that methoxyl group of the 6-chromanol ring is required for a successful electron transfer (ET) to O2•− through the PCET. The electrochemical and DFT results in dehydrated DMF suggested that the PCET mechanism involves preceding proton transfer (PT) forming hydroperoxyl radical followed by a concerted PCET (ET–PT). The O2•− elimination by TOH proceeds efficiently along the net PCET mechanism involving one ET and two PTs.
Reactivity of O-Drug Bond in some Suggested Voltarine Carriers: Semiempirical and ab Initio Methods
Authors: Kubba Rehab M. , Kadhim Mustafa mohammed
Published: December 2021

In this work, the possibility to use new suggested carriers (D= Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Paracetamol, Tramal) is discussed for diclofenac drug (voltarine) by using quantum mechanics calculations. The calculation methods (PM3) and (DFT) have been used for determination the reaction path of (O-D) bond rupture energies. Different groups of drugs as a carrier for diclofenac prodrugs (in a vacuum) have been used; at their optimized geometries. The calculations included the geometrical structure and some of the physical properties, in addition to the toxicity, biological activity, and NLO properties of the prodrugs, investigated using HF method. The calculations were done by Gaussian 09 program. The comparison was made for total energies of reactants, activation energies, and transition states to final products. The suggested prodrugs aim to improve the diclofenac carrier's properties and obtain new alternatives for the approved carriers theoretically.
An Efficient Spatial-Temporal Convolution Recurrent Neural Network Surrogate Model for History Matching
Authors: Ma Xiaopeng , Zhang Kai , Wang Jian , Yao Chuanjin , Yang Yongfei , Sun Hai , Yao Jun
Published: December 2021

Surrogate modeling has shown to be effective in improving the solving efficiency for history matching in the development of oil and gas, but the traditional surrogate models are difficult to directly deal with the high-dimensional spatial uncertain parameters, such as the permeability field. In this paper, we introduce a new deep-learning-based surrogate modeling framework, image-to-sequence regression, which can directly predict the production data from the high-dimensional spatial parameters. Specifically, a spatial-temporal convolution recurrent neural network surrogate model is proposed based on a densely connected convolutional neural network (CNN) model and a stacked multilayer long short-term memory (LSTM) model. And a surrogate-based history-matching workflow is then developed by combining the proposed surrogate model with an improved ensemble smoother data assimilation algorithm. Two case studies on a 2D and a 3D reservoir model demonstrate that the proposed surrogate model can effectively predict production data and improve the efficiency of history matching.

Background

Imposter Phenomenon (IP) is a highly prevalent behavioural health issue affecting individual professional performance and regular activity. The current study focused on evaluating IP prevalence and assessing the factor contributing to IP among undergraduate students of Dhaka city. This was an analytical cross-sectional survey performed among undergraduate students between August to December 2020. The Young Imposter Scale (YIS) was used to determine the dichotomous assessment for the presence or absence of IP.
Results

Among the recruited 1,139 students, 378 (33%) had imposter syndrome. The prevalence was relatively higher (34%) among males compared to females (32%). Around one third (31.6%) reported that they face problems in sleeping. Our analysis shows that the sleeping problem of the student (p=<0.01) and academic year (p=0.04) had a statistically significant association with IP. Students who completed two academic years were more likely to have IP (AOR:1.18; 95% CI: 1.01-1.41). There was a statistically significant difference in the experience of IP across who had a sleeping problem than those who didn’t (AOR: 1.54; 95% CI: 1.25-1.90).
Conclusion

Our study revealed a relatively high prevalence of IP among undergraduate students, affecting their professional lives. Awareness-raising programmes should be arranged at the university level to help students to cope up with IP.
The Impact of Maternal Asthma on the Preterm Infants' Gut Metabolome and Microbiome - The Microbiome, Atopic Disease, and Prematurity (MAP) Study

Published: December 2021

Preterm infants are at a greater risk for the development of asthma and atopic disease, which can lead to lifelong negative health consequences. This may, in part, be due to alterations that occur in the gut microbiome and metabolome during their stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). To explore the differential roles of family history (i.e., predisposition due to maternal asthma diagnosis) and hospital-related environmental and clinical factors that alter microbial exposures early in life, we looked at a unique cohort of preterm infants born £ 34 weeks gestational age from two local level III NICUs, as part of the MAP (Microbiome, Atopic disease, and Prematurity) Study. Weekly stool, milk feeds, and saliva were collected until hospital discharge, and monthly stool and milk samples were collected at home until one year of age. We also chose a sub-cohort of infants whose mothers had a history of asthma and matched gestational age and sex to infants of mothers without a history of asthma (control). We performed a prospective, paired metagenomic and metabolomic analysis of stool and milk feed samples collected at birth, 2 weeks, and 6 weeks postnatal age. Although there were clinical factors associated with shifts in the diversity and composition of stool-associated bacterial communities, maternal asthma diagnosis did not play an observable role in shaping the infant gut microbiome in the study period. There were significant differences, however, in the metabolite profile between the maternal asthma and control groups at 6 weeks postnatal age. The most notable changes occurred in the linoleic acid spectral network, which plays a role in inflammatory and immune pathways, suggesting early metabolomic changes in the gut of preterm infants born to mothers with a history of asthma. Our pilot analysis suggests that a history of maternal asthma alters a preterm infants’ metabolomic pathways in the gut as early as the first 6 weeks of life.
Methylation-Mediated Silencing of RBP7 Promotes Breast Cancer Progression Through PPAR and PI3K/AKT Pathway
Authors: Lin Hong , Han Qizheng , Wang Junhao , Zhong Zhaoqian , Luo Haihua , Hao Yibin , Jiang Yong
Published: December 2021

Purpose Retinoid-binding protein (RBP7) is a member of the cellular retinol-binding protein (CRBP) family, which is involved in the pathogenesis of breast cancer (BRCA). The study aims to illustrate the prognostic value and the potential regulatory mechanisms of RBP7 expression in BRCA. Methods We utilized a series of bioinformatics tools, including HPA, GEPIA, UALCAN, ONCOMINE, Kaplan–Meier plotter, PROGeneV2, TISCH, LinkedOmics, UCSC Xena, MethSurv, SMART APP, bc-GenExMiner4.7, OSbrca, STRING, CARE, SwissDock and R software packages, to investigate the expression, prognostic value and functional regulatory networks of RBP7 in BRCA. Results Bioinformatics analysis with the TCGA and CPTAC databases revealed that the mRNA and protein expression levels of RBP7 in normal were higher compared to BRCA tissues. Survival analysis displayed that the lower expression of RBP7, the worse the prognosis in ER-positive (ER+) BRCA patients. Genomic analysis showed that promoter methylation result in transcriptional silencing of RBP7 in BRCA. Functional enrichment analysis demonstrated that downregulation of RBP7 expression may exert its biological influence on BRCA through the PPAR pathway and the PI3K/AKT pathway. Conclusions In summary, we identified RBP7 as a novel biomarker that is helpful for the prognosis of ER+ BRCA patients. Promoter methylation of RBP7 is involved in its gene silencing in BRCA, thus regulating the occurrence and development of ER+ BRCA through the PPAR and PI3K/AKT pathways.

Emergent fractal phase in energy stratified random models
Authors: Kutlin Anton , Khaymovich Ivan
Published: December 2021

We study the effects of partial correlations in kinetic hopping terms
of long-range disordered random matrix models on their localization
properties. We consider a set of models interpolating between
fully-localized Richardson’s model and the celebrated Rosenzweig-Porter
model (with implemented translation-invariant symmetry). In order to do
this, we propose the energy-stratified spectral structure of the hopping
term allowing one to decrease the range of correlations gradually. We
show both analytically and numerically that any deviation from the
completely correlated case leads to the emergent non-ergodic
delocalization in the system unlike the predictions of localization of
cooperative shielding. In order to describe the models with correlated
kinetic terms, we develop the generalization of the Dyson Brownian
motion and cavity approaches basing on stochastic matrix process with
independent rank-one matrix increments and examine its applicability to
the above set of models.
Does external assurance on CSR reporting contribute to its higher quality? Empirical evidence from China
Authors: Pasko Oleh , Zhang Li , Bezverkhyi Kostiantyn , Nikytenko Dmytro , Khromushyna Lyudmyla
Published: December 2021

This paper examines the difference that the assurance brings to the quality of CSR reports in the Chinese institutional setting, in particular, the difference in quality (proxy – RKS ranking) of assured and unassured CSR reports, as well as whether the high ownership concentration and corresponding to it “entrenchment effect” obstruct the positive impact the assurance exerts on the quality of CSR reports. The paper examines CSR reports on 2,292 firm-year observations of large Chinese companies over three years (2015–2018). The hypothesis development process predicates on the signaling and stakeholder theories, whilst this study applies regression analysis to test the hypotheses. Consistent with the predictions of signaling and stakeholder theories, the paper finds that assurance contributes to the higher quality of CSR reports. Moreover, the study finds that assured CSR reports have higher sub-scores in all four aspects of RKS ranking. However, as ownership concentration exceeds 50 per cent and reaches the majority, it thwarts the advancement in the quality of CSR reports through its assurance. The paper provides an initial empirical account of the role of assurance in the emerging CSR reporting practice in China. The paper contributes to the modest body of empirical research on the function of external assurance in the CSR area by explicating the role played both by the accounting (external assurance) and corporate governance (ownership concentration) infrastructure to ensure high quality of CSR reporting. The paper briefs local, international regulatory authorities and the business community about the importance of external assurance for the CSR reporting quality.
Intellectual Readiness for School in Senior Preschoolers: case of Correctional and Developmental Program "School is Waiting"
Authors: Pechatnova Nadezhda , Nekrasova Elena
Published: December 2021

Cognitive readiness is a level of cognitive skills sufficient for systematic learning. It includes cognitive processes (perception, memory, thinking, imagination, and speech), knowledge, skills, motivation, etc. The research featured cognitive readiness for primary school in senior preschoolers after a special correction and development program "School is Waiting", which was based on a series of games. The program proved to be highly effective as tested by L. S. Kolmogorova’s diagnostic program "Readiness for School". Children in the test group received a higher total score for knowledge, long-term memory, auditory perception, speech, imagination, etc. than those in the control group.

Introduction. Industrial tourism is a niche tourism area that combines a unique emotional experience, educational functionality, and cultural and historical component in a single tourist product. Government and business have realized the strategic importance of industrial tourism. Together with the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI), they are implementing comprehensive programs for the development of industrial tourism in regions with significant industrial heritage. Study objects and methods. The present research was based on the theory of strategy and methodology of strategizing developed by Professor V.L. Kvint. The authors performed an in-depth analysis of the competitive advantages and resource provision of the regions that signed an agreement with the ASI. Various economic, social, and other reasons force regional authorities to develop industrial tourism. However, unjustified development of industrial tourism may diffuse the limited regional, municipal, or company budgets. Results and discussion. Statistical indicators and strategic documents showed that the regions under discussion have certain industrial potential for the development of this type of tourism. However, poor transport infrastructure, transport accessibility, and tourist infrastructure reduce the chances to diversify the local economy through industrial tourism. Conclusion. Not all regions that have the ASI agreement have sufficient competitive advantages and resources for this strategic opportunity. New members must undergo a strategic analysis of the competitive advantages and priority directions. Regions with good competitive advantages should develop a special program or a strategy for the development of industrial tourism.

Introduction. In the 1960s, the USSR and the United States raced not only in the sphere of arms and space exploration, but also in various socio-economic spheres, including advanced automated management systems in the field of economics, which treated economy as a single object of management. Study objects and methods. The present research involved declassified archival documents, as well as domestic and foreign works on automated control systems (ACS). Results and discussion. The authors analyzed the fundamental goals and objectives set by the leaders of the two superpowers, focusing on the nationwide automated processing and control systems (NAPCS), their operation principles, and the reasons behind their failure. They compared NAPCS with alternative systems, e.g. ACS-70, ACS-80, the system of the Kuntsevo radio engineering plant, ARPANET, etc., as well as with modern systems that were based on the Soviet heritage. Conclusion. Apparently, the USSR won the first part of the ACS race, but the project failed, and the USA with its ARPANET (1969) became the undisputed leader. However, most contemporary Russian situation centers are based on the Soviet studies.
Sponge-city-based urban water system planning: a case study of water quality sensitive new area development in China
Authors: Xu Yijian , Kong Yanhong
Published: December 2021

In recent years, sponge city has been booming in China aiming to alleviate urban flooding and improve water quality of natural water bodies. LID/green infrastructure has been gradually introduced to urban planning and urban water system planning. Efficient deployment of LID facilities is critical, which requires modeling and evaluation to develop rational planning. A case study of Guian New Area was presented to show the application of SWMM and the planning methods in sponge-city-based urban water system planning for water quality sensitive new areas development. Based on SWMM, two river network water quality models, the Dongmenqiao River and the Chetian River, were established through a systematic analysis of the case study area. Baseline scenarios were simulated and analyzed, and assimilation capacities of the two river basins were calculated by a trial-and-error method. Finally, two LID scenarios were carefully designed, simulated, and analyzed to support the planning. The simulations showed that in order to meet the strict water quality requirements in Guian New Area, large scales of LID facilities are required to cut down the rainfall-runoff pollution. Moreover, measures such as more frequent cleaning to reduce pollutants accumulation on the ground should also be taken to mitigate the maximum buildups of pollutants.
Assessment of water resources system in Qena governorate, Upper Egypt under different hydrological and agronomic conditions
Authors: Omar Mohie El Din M. , Aly Marwa M.
Published: December 2021

This paper assessed the current water resources system and two future scenarios in the Qena Governorate by developing a Water Balance Model (WB Model) and Water Security Quality-based Index (WSQI). The first scenario presented 25% reduction in Nile flow, while the second scenario suggested adaptation measures to comply with flow reduction. The measures included leveling 100,000 feddans, serving 70,000 feddans with sprinkler irrigation, and lining 2,977 km of canals. The WB Model estimated WB components. The WSQI was a new index suitable for Egypt's conditions considering water quality. The water supply from High Aswan Dam (HAD) was predicted by the BlueM model for hydrological simulations of Nasser Lake. The study found that the current water shortage was fulfilled by drainage reuse and shallow groundwater, and the WQSI indicated a low water insecurity. The flow reduction increased the water shortage and reuse quantity. As a result, the WSQI indicated high water insecurity. The suggested measures improved agricultural water use efficiency from 51% to 63%, reduced water shortage, and improved the water insecurity level from high to medium. This study concluded that adaptation measures can improve the future water system and water security in the Qena Governorate. The study recommended upscaling WSQI use for the entire country.
Determining the impact of flow velocities on reactive processes associated with Enterococcus faecalis JH2-2

Published: December 2021

This study focuses on the impact of infiltration rates on colloidal transport and reactive processes associated with Enterococcus faecalis JH2-2 using water-saturated sediment columns. The infiltration rates influence the physical transport of bacteria by controlling the mean flow velocity. This, in turn, impacts biological processes in pore water owing to the higher or lower residence time of the bacteria in the column. In the present study, continuous injection of E. faecalis (suspended in saline water with varying conditions of dissolved oxygen and nutrient concentrations) into a lab-scale sediment column was performed at flow velocities of 0.02 cm min−1 and 0.078 cm min−1, i.e., at residence times of 1–5 hours. The impact of residence times on reactive processes is significant for field scale setups. A process-based model with a first-order rate coefficient for each biological process was fitted for each obtained condition-specific dataset from the experimental observations (breakthrough curves). The coefficients were converted to a dimensionless form to facilitate the comparison of biological processes. These results indicate that the processes of attachment and growth were flow-dependent. The growth process in the absence of dissolved oxygen was the most dominant process, with a Damkoehler number of approximately 48.
Matrimonial property and legality of claiming it between fiqh and the laws of Malaysia, Morocco and Tunisia
Authors: Bosheya Mohamed Shafei Moftah
Published: December 2021

One of the most important goals of the marital relationship is the affection and compassion that drive spouses to cooperate together in earning their livelihood. When the marital relationship breaks down, each of the spouses would claim his/her share of the matrimonial property; such claim is different from the stipulated legal dues such as the inheritance and the alimony. The question is, what is the definition of the matrimonial property? Does this concept exist in the old Islamic jurisprudence? Is it legal to claim this money by one of the spouses or their heirs? And to what extent is the interest achieved or hardship avoided if the claimant is given his/her share? What is the position of the Malaysian Judiciary and its legal text on that issue? What is the stand of the official fatwa departments on this issue? What are the types of legal evidence cited by the different fatwas related to the matrimonial property? Moreover, are there countries other than Malaysia that have adopted this system?
Matrimonial property between jurisprudence and reality

Matrimonial property plays an important role in achieving family stability and in building the society. Therefore, due attention must be given to the nature of matrimonial property, how it is managed and the guidelines governing it when disputes about it arise to protect the financial rights of both spouses from any damage that can threaten the stability and development of the society. Laws have been enacted in some Muslim countries like Tunisia and Malaysia to give a wife the right to have a share in the property acquired by her husband during the marriage. Thus, all the above prompted us to participate in highlighting this issue that was not discussed by classical jurists and to examine the types of wealth acquired during marriage and the ruling of each type in this research paper.
application of principle of res judicata and estopple in family law cases in Syariah court
Authors: Azzis Nadia Murshida Abd
Published: December 2021

This writing examines the Syariah court’s approach in applying the principle of res judicata and estoppel in family law cases in Syariah. With the existence of the legal provisions, there are still the unclear application of res judicata and the principle of estopple in terms of hearing mal cases especially the matter involved with a monetary claim for example mut’ah cases, child maintenance, and jointly acquired property. Although this principle has been understood by the legal practitioner, the synchronization between the principle of res judicata, estopple, and court procedure is yet to be scrutinized by the Courts. Thus, a qualitative study was carried out along with library research including decided cases in this research. The content analysis method is applied in data analysis. This study indicated that in arriving at a decision, Syariah Court indirectly applied these principles. However, the implementation of these principles should be highlighted to validate the principle of justice in Syariah Courts.
