Published: April 2020

The standard yield model recommended for land assessment and certification of land according to the degree of suitability for agricultural use is based on the assessment of agro-ecological potential (AP) as characteristics of the territory 's water and thermal resources. The quality check of the model according to the data of the class testing areas for the period 2007-2018 showed an overestimation of the standard grain yield for the conditions of the Saratov region by 1.2-1.5 times. The error is due to the use of the most available agro climatic parameters in the model, which establish their connection with productivity at the interregional level, but do not meet the conditions of adequate differentiation of conditions of moisture supply of crops at the regional level.

Correction of the AP model, when using the parameters of water and thermal resources provision by the coefficients of annual moistening and the sum of biologically active temperatures, is achieved by reducing the AP level by 1.2 times and fixing the standard value of the climate continental index - 187. A new version of estimated zoning is proposed based on the corrected model of AP, at which the number of agro climatic subzones is reduced from 9 to 6. The adequacy of the assessment of land productivity is ensured by the use of AP parameters that are individual for municipal areas rather than medium-sized ones.

Field trials were conducted during the rainy season of 2017 at Teaching and Research Farm of Bayero University and Kano State Livestock development Centre Dangora. To determine the magnitude and nature of the association between growth characters and grain yield of maize, as well as the percentage contribution of each of this independent variable on the dependant variable (yield).The trails consist of six weed control methods, three levels of poultry manure and three varieties of maize. The experiment was laid out in a split-split plot design with variety allocated to the main plot, poultry manure to the sub-plot while weed control method to the sub-sub plot, and was replicated three times.  Grain yield correlated positively and significantly with growth and yield characters evaluated while weed dry weight and weed index were highly negatively correlated. The direct and indirect contributions results indicate that plant height had the highest direct contribution at BUK and Dangora in 2016 and Doka 2017 while plant dry matter accumulation had the highest direct contribution at Dangora in 2017. Cob diameter had the least direct effect in the study; the highest indirect effect was from cob diameter through plant height. The percentage individual contribution to grain yield showed that plant height made the highest contribution at BUK and Dangora in 2016, while cob diameter at both locations and plant dry matter at Dangora resulted in the least contribution. The combined contribution of dry matter and 100-seed weight was the highest positive contribution at BUK and that of plant height via 100-seed weight all in 2016 while cob length via 100-seed weight made the least negative contribution at BUK.

Focusing primarily on our work with a Māori puna reo in Aotearoa New Zealand, but also drawing upon our work with a Samoan a’oga amata, we explain in this article how we created translingual children’s books and other teaching materials that are able to embody translingual practices and core cultural values. After discussing the materials and their development, this article ends with an initial analysis of the materials’ effectiveness as well as a discussion of the importance of translingual pedagogical materials that goes beyond traditional discussions of codeswitching in the classroom.
SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS AND REGIONALIZATION OF REFERENCE EVAPOTRANSPIRATION FOR THE AMAZON REGION.
Authors: Silva Helder J Farias , Gonçalves Weber Andrande , Bezerra Bergson Guedes
Published: April 2020

Sensitivity Analysis (SA) is important to understand the relative importance of climate variables in the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) computation. In this study, a sensitivity coefficient was used to predict ETo responses to disturbances of five climatic variables in the Amazonian Hydrographic Region - AHR (Brazilian Amazon). The ETo was estimated using the standardized equation of Penman-Monteith-FAO (PM-FAO). A 15-year meteorological data set of 38 surface meteorological stations were used in the study. An additional analysis was also presented to determine homogeneous regions of ETo by means of Cluster Analysis. The results showed that seven homogeneous sub-regions are sufficient to divide the AHR into different ETo patterns which were separated considering the intensity and the seasonal pattern of ETo. By the SA, the variables that contribute most to the computation of ETo using the PM-FAO method were the balance of radiation (Rn) and wind speed (u2). These results demonstrate that, in general, it should be emphasized to precise measures of insolation, since the precise estimation of Rn is directly associated with the measurement of this variable as well as of u2, which proved to be the second most influential variable in the ETo computation.

As Relações Internacionais e seus epistemicídios
Authors: Fernández Marta
Published: April 2020

O artigo argumenta que a disciplina das Relações Internacionais é cúmplice do projeto colonial e, nesse sentido, vem participando do processo histórico de epistemicídio. Tanto perspectivas realistas como liberais das Relações Internacionais reificam uma “história única”, embora narrada como universal. A partir dos mitos mobilizados pela disciplina a exemplo do “estado de natureza” e do “contrato social” pretende-se iluminar sua trajetória eurocêntrica, chamando a atenção para as violências e exclusões constitutivas da mesma. O artigo, inspirado em perspectivas decoloniais, conclui enfatizando a importância da abertura da disciplina para outros saberes e cosmologias tradicionalmente silenciados e inferiorizados que podem vir a contribuir para desestabilizar suas fundações racistas.

Character education considered one of the ways to overcome character and morality problems. Though character education has been taught for decades, character and the moral problem still happened in our society. Lots of people agree that we need to reinforce character education to improve the performance of character education. Some institutions invented some programs to help the implementation of character education. Aware of this condition, the Indonesian government also strived to improve character education by released a program called Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter (PPK), which stands for character education reinforcement. This program expected to give schools an idea of how character education should be taught in a holistic approach, thus it can help schools implied a better character education. Long before the government releases the program, some schools, mostly private schools, already planned and implemented their own character education program. This paper elaborates private school teachers’ perspectives on character education practice in their schools. This qualitative research was conducted through interviews involving three private school teachers. The teachers teach different private schools located in Yogyakarta, Jakarta, and Lampung. Teachers' perspectives expected to help us understand the relevant practice of character education and development needs to adjust the student in this era.

This research is a correlational study using a quantitative approach. Data collection techniques through creative tests and dance skills test.  Analytical techniques using prerequisite analysis tests include normality testing, linearity test, and hypothesis testing using the product-moment correlation analysis with the level of significance of the analysis results by 5%. Based on the results, the study showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between creativity and the ability to dance fourth-grade students of elementary school. This is evidenced by the significance of the 0.02 (P ? 0.05), meaning there is a positive relationship between creativity and the ability to dance.

This research is motivated by the low interest of students, especially in reading interests. The learning media uses big book media. This study aims to determine the use of big book media on the reading interest of elementary school students in grade II in Pulokalapa II Elementary School because when observing in Pulocalapa II Elementary School, not all students have a high interest in reading and a lack of interesting learning media. This research is descriptive qualitative research. The research subjects were all grade II students of Pulocalapa II Elementary School, totaling 27 students consisting of 15 female students and 12 male students. Data collection methods used were observation, questionnaire/questionnaire, interview, and documentation. Research shows that the use of big book media is said to be successfully applied in the lower classes to foster interest in reading. From the results of the research that has been done, it can be concluded that the use of big book media can foster interest in reading elementary school students in grade II of SDN Pulokalapa II in the 2018/2019 school year.
The double path of light in ancient times: Lessons for Science Educational Practice
Authors: Vidal-López Joaquín
Published: April 2020

The light has been part of myths, scientific explanations, and theories of mind from the origin of mankind. In this concern to explain cosmogony detached from the gods, the ancient Greeks began to seek the foundation of primordial matter from which it derives everything that exists. In this work are explained some approaches to the study of light from the first religious traditions, some Greek authors (Plato, Democritus, and Euclid), one medieval author (Grosseteste), and the last developments in the study of light carried out in the last century.This work is shown how a physical concept as light can be understood from a wide variety of perspectives along centuries and cultures. The actual knowledge of light, based on Einstein's Relativity Theory and Quantum Physics, is also explained. At the end of this work is exposed to one reflection about how myths and rational explanations are always combined for explaining natural events, and how both paths are valuable because they have different characteristics and purposes.Both mythical and rational perspectives coexist today in our society. They have different purposes, advantages and limitations. This approach is very useful for Primary and Secondary Science students, because it helps them to know the development of a key concept of physics (light) that is still revised today.
أطفال عصابات داعش الإرهابية تحديات مجتمعية ومستقبل مجهول

إن الحروب عبر العصور التأريخية كانت تحمل ويلات للشعوب التي تخوضها أو تقع على أراضيها, ومنذ القدم فأن مخلفات الحروب تكون أشدُ وطأة على المجتمعاتِ الانسانية من الحُروبِ نفسَها, والعراق كان ولا يزال جزءاً من هذهِ الدول التي مرت بحروب وصراعات ونزاعات كادت أن تؤدي في بعض الاوقات الى تهديد نسيجهُ الاجتماعي بالانهيار لولا وجود عقول خيرة وارادة مجتمعية قوية وروابط أجتماعية ناضجة ساعدت على تجاوز هذه المهددات.

إذ مَر العراق بعد (9/4/2003) بمشكلات أجتماعية خطيرة أثرت بشكل كبير في المجتمع ولعل آخرها احتلال عصابات داعش لثلاث محافظات واجزاء من محافظتين, أفرز ذلك مشكلة تضاف لما هو موجود وهي الاطفال المولودين في الحرب نتيجة الزواج الذي كان يعقد في محاكم يعُدها التنظيم الارهابي شرعية بمحافظةِ نينوى تحديداً يضاف لهم اطفال المغتصبات من قبل أفراد تلك العصابات والاطفال المنتمين لهذه العصابات من العراقيين والاجانب الذين دخلوا الى العراق مع ذويهم والمختطفين والمجندين للقتال ممن لا يُعرف نَسَبُهم, لقد تركت هذه العصابات قيم وافكار وثقافة لم يعهدها المجتمع في محافظة نينوى من قبل, إذ أُعيد المجتمع لعصور الجاهلية من خلال قيم البداوة في السبي والقتل على الهوية الدينية والعرقية ونبذ الاديان وامتهان كرامة المرأة والغاء ودثر معالم الحضارة والعلم والتطور التقني والانقطاع عن العالم الخارجي.   

      وخَلف ذلك جملة من التحديات التي تواجه قبول أطفال هذه العصابات أو المنتمين معهم في المجتمع وصعوبة الاعتراف بما حصل من زيجات أبان مدة حكم عصابات داعش لمحافظة نينوى, ويعد موضوع التحديات التي يشكلها هؤلاء الاطفال من الموضوعات الحساسة والخطيرة في المرحلة الراهنة والتي أن تُركت بلا حلول فإنها سَتولد للمجتمع العراقي مُشكلات يَصعبُ حلها في قادمِ الايام, فالاطفال محتجزون في سجون ومخيمات مع أمهاتهم أو رفاقهم ولم يتم التحرك لإعادة تأهيلهم لنزع ما تبقى من أفكار وقيم هذه العصابات من عقولهم, فمرحلة ما بعد داعش ستكون ذات أبعاد خطيرة أذا لم يُحسن التعامل مع ما خلفته من أفكار في النشئ الجديد الذي تربى على قيم وافكار هذه العصابات

How open lists undermine the electoral support of cohesive parties
Authors: Bräuninger Thomas , Däubler Thomas , Huber Robert A. , Rudolph Lukas
Published: April 2020

How does ballot structure affect party choice? We argue that open lists undermine the electoral support of cohesive parties, to the benefit of internally divided parties. This effect is mainly due to indifferent voters close to the midpoint of the two parties' positions on a contested policy issue. We conduct a survey-embedded experiment in the aftermath of the European migrant crisis, presenting German voters real parties with fictitious politicians. A crossover design varies ballot type and exposure to candidate positions on immigration. We find that the internally divided CDU/CSU gains votes at the expense of the cohesive AfD when open lists are used and candidate positions are known. This effect is much stronger among participants indifferent between the AfD and any competitor. Overall, our analysis establishes conditions under which ballot structure can affect electoral performance of parties in general, and that of the populist right in particular.

Complementary Pharmacological Treatment and Therapeutic Prospects for COVID-19
Authors: De Soto Joseph Angel , Hakim Shazia Tabassum , Fouast Daphne
Published: April 2020

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 outbreak has led to a world-wide pandemic that has infected over two million people and caused over one hundred thousand deaths. The virus first discovered in Wuhan China in Dec. 2019, seems to have originated either in the United States or the Guangdong province as early as Sept. 2019. Infection by SARs-CoV-2 virus can lead to pneumonia and adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) which is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality for this disease. OBJECTIVE: This review focuses on the mechanism of action of a representative sampling of some of the most promising pharmacological approaches to treating COVID-19 based pneumonia and the related cytokine storm. RESULTS: The current medications showing promise either focus in interfering with the viral life cycle or interfering with the cytokine storm that leads from pneumonia to ARDs. CONCLUSIONS: Developing therapeutics interfering with the viral lifecycle, modulating the cytokine storm and protecting the end organs show promise in significantly reducing the morbidity and mortality of COVID-19.
How Many Selves Can The Mind Represent At Once? Evidence From Long-Term Memory
Authors: De Freitas Julian , Rips Lance
Published: April 2020

What we know as the self is not just one unified construct, but consists of various self-concepts that are continuously created, revised, and discarded, such as “woman”, “Thai national”, “Northwestern student”, and “true self”. These rich, variegated self-concepts help organize our endeavors throughout the different domains of our lives. How do we store information associated with each of these self-concepts without confusing them in long-term memory? We uncover two mechanisms that support this ability— one that arises from the nature of long-term memory processing, and the other that arises from the nature of self-referential processing. Specifically, people are less likely to confuse memories for self-concepts that are more distinct, and they are more likely to remember information for the self than for others. Together, the studies shed light on the mechanisms that support our impressively rich store of self knowledge.
Win–Win Denial: The Psychological Underpinnings of Zero-Sum Thinking
Authors: Johnson Samuel Gregory Blane , Zhang Jiewen , Keil Frank
Published: April 2020

A core proposition in economics is that voluntary exchanges benefit both parties. We show that people often deny the mutually beneficial nature of exchange, instead espousing the belief that one or both parties fail to benefit from the exchange. Across 4 studies (and 8 further studies in the Supplementary Materials), participants read about simple exchanges of goods and services, judging whether each party to the transaction was better off or worse off afterwards. These studies revealed that win–win denial is pervasive, with buyers consistently seen as less likely to benefit from transactions than sellers. Several potential psychological mechanisms underlying win–win denial are considered, with the most important influences being mercantilist theories of value (confusing wealth for money) and theory of mind limits (failing to observe that people do not arbitrarily enter exchanges). We argue that these results have widespread implications for politics and society.
Principles of statistical analyses: old and new tools
Authors: Kretzschmar Franziska , Alday Phillip M.
Published: April 2020

The present chapter provides an overview of old and new statistical tools to analyze electrophysiological data on language processing. We will first introduce the very basic tenets of experimental designs and their intimate links to statistical design. Based on this, we introduce the analysis of variance (ANOVA) approach which has been the classical statistical tool to analyze event-related potentials (ERPs) in language research. After discussing the merits and disadvantages of the approach, we focus on introducing mixed-effects regression models as a viable alternative to traditional ANOVA analyses. We close with an overview offuture directions that mixed-effects modeling opens up for language researchers using ERPs or other electrophysiological measures.
