Uniformity in Tophet Ceramics?
Authors: Braekmans Dennis , Garnand Brien , Greene Joseph , Degryse Patrick
Published: November 2023

Burial urns and lids found in the Carthage tophet precinct play a pivotal role in our understanding of material trajectories. Significant differences in macroscopic features present problems as to where and how these vessels were made. In general, issues in sourcing north African ceramic materials stem from their compositional homogeneity, having mostly sand and calcareous fractions varying to a greater or lesser degree. In this paper we present the results of a petrographic study of ceramic materials in order to understand the different fabrics present within the tophet assemblage, with the ultimate aim of determining whether or not their production took place in Carthage itself and to trace transformations in local and regional ceramic fabric types.
Random walk on spheres method for solving anisotropic transient diffusion problems and flux calculations
Authors: Shalimova Irina , Sabelfeld Karl
Published: November 2023

The Random Walk on Spheres (RWS) algorithm for solving anisotropic transient diffusion problems based on
a stochastic learning procedure for calculation of the exit position of the anisotropic diffusion process on a sphere is developed.
Direct generalization of the Random Walk on Spheres method to anisotropic diffusion equations is not possible, therefore, we have
numerically calculated the probability density for the exit position on a sphere. The first passage time is then represented explicitly.
The method can easily be implemented to solve diffusion problems with spatially varying diffusion
coefficients for complicated three-dimensional domains. Particle tracking algorithm is highly efficient for calculation of fluxes to boundaries. We apply the developed algorithm for solving an exciton transport in a semiconductor material with a threading dislocation
where the measured functions are the exciton fluxes to the semiconductor’s substrate and on the dislocation surface.
Design optimization of hybrid material B-pillar under crush loading
Authors: Öztürk İsmail
Published: November 2023

B-pillars are vital structural components in rollover-related accidents. In this study, the performances of homogeneous B-pillars designed from B1500HS-T25, AA2024-T351, and AA6061-T6 materials and hybrid B-pillars designed from their combinations under crushing load were compared in energy absorption using simulation results. Optimization studies were conducted utilizing the upper part B1500HS-T25 and lower part AA6061-T6 hybrid B-pillar, which gave the highest energy absorption value. Method of feasible directions was utilized to solve the single-objective optimization, and B-pillar mass decreased by 22.6 % from 2.736 to 2.117 kg compared with the reference B-pillar. Global Response Search Method and Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm were used to solve the multi-objective optimization problem. B-pillar with min mass decreased mass value by 25 % from 2.736 to 2.052 kg for both methods. This optimum hybrid B-pillar can be utilized in car design.
Subsidized fertilizer management in the rice production centers of South Sulawesi, Indonesia: Bridging the gap between policy and practice
Authors: Jamil Ali , Ali Muhammad Saleh S. , Fahmid Imam Mujahidin , Salman Darmawan , Rahmadanih Rahmadanih
Published: November 2023

This study aims to examine the dynamics of subsidized fertilizer management in rice production areas in Sidrap and Wajo districts, South Sulawesi province. Using a case study approach with qualitative analysis, the study combined primary data from in-depth interviews and secondary data derived from various studies and reports from government organizations. The results show that there is a considerable gap between the government’s fertilizer budget and farmers’ actual needs, leading to coverage of only 37%, thus forcing farmers to purchase more expensive non-subsidized fertilizers. The inefficient distribution system results in delays and scarcity. As a result, there will be market and price dualism between subsidized and non-subsidized markets, as well as subsidized and non-subsidized prices. Enforcement of pricing regulations faces hurdles due to the black market. In addition, farmers use the “foster father” system to obtain credit. To improve fertilizer management, the study recommends a multifaceted approach: increased budget allocation, efficient distribution, strong enforcement of pricing regulations, and innovative financing solutions such as the Tani Card. These strategies, along with improved inter-agency coordination, aim to address challenges and increase the effectiveness of subsidized fertilizer policies.
„Was willst du in Milano?“
Authors: Noeske Nina
Published: November 2023

The article examines the significance of musical images of Italy in the GDR. On the basis of travel documentaries, films and Italienschlager, especially from the 1950s and 1960s, it demonstrates that the traditional image of the South was aimed at a domestic audience – especially because, since the construction of the Wall in 1961, travel to capitalist foreign countries was impossible for ordinary citizens. East German criticism of capitalism, exploitation and, in part, neo-fascism in Italy was intended to cause the people of the GDR to lose interest in Italy. Finally, the debates about the ideal East German Schlager lyrics of around 1960 shed light on another aspect that is also relevant for the Italienschlager.
Napoli fürs Sofa
Authors: Krahn Carolin
Published: November 2023

Using a famous commercial shown on German-language television from the 1980s, this article analyses the media staging, reactivation and transformation of audio-visual images of Italy at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The case study operates at the intersection of music history, the advertising and insurance industries, mass media and global tourism. It interweaves musical, technological, socio-cultural and discursive perspectives. In doing so, it demonstrates how key acoustic motifs become nationally connoted carriers of meaning in the context of the cross-media production and dissemination of clichés relating to Italy in international everyday culture.
Eine Quellengattung im Spektrum der römischen Überlieferung
Authors: Esch Arnold
Published: November 2023

The wealth of source material produced by Roman notaries has long been neglected. Only in recent decades has it been systematically evaluated by researchers. Given the fragmentary source situation in general, these atti notarili add considerable detail to our knowledge of everyday life. They provide insights not only into the Rome of the popes, which has received considerable attention, but above all into the Rome of the Roman people, much less studied. This paper focuses not on another notary, but on the question of the potential contribution of this genre of sources to the history of late medieval Rome. We see how clients belonging to different social groups approach different notaries. We understand the typical concerns and problems of Roman society, ranging from the debtor imprisoned in a dungeon to the Colonna family in their palazzo. We find confident Florentines with their business dealings, German bakers and their partnership contracts, impoverished monasteries with their growing debts. We see the building boom of the Renaissance and how Piazza Navona is transformed from a campus into a platea, as well as rural Rome within the walls and its countless vineyards.
Riconversione e Ricostruzione
Authors: Alvi Maddalena , Unger-Alvi Simon
Published: November 2023

This article focuses on German-Vatican debates on the Reichskonkordat after 1945. For this purpose, it explores newly available documents in the Vatican Apostolic Archive from the West German Nunciature in Bonn. Thereby, this essay retraces how the Catholic Church followed German political discourses and how it sought to influence public debates. While Konrad Adenauer and the Christian-Democratic Party aimed to preserve the Reichskonkordat, which had been negotiated by Eugenio Pacelli in 1933, an inner-German opposition began to question the role that the Church had played in the Nazi regime. Already in the 1950s, a diverse alliance of Social Democrats, liberals and Protestant intellectuals accused both the Vatican and members of Adenauer’s government to have supported Nazism in order to establish a form of ‚clerical fascism‘. While these accusations were often of polemical nature, they initiated a profound re-calibration of church-state relations, showing the limits of both Adenauer’s political ambitions and the visions of Pius XII to re-establish a Catholic dominance in postwar culture.
Integrated modeling and coupling characteristics analysis of helicopter/engine/infrared suppressor
Authors: Cheng Benlin , Huang Xing , Ji Chuang , Zhong Wencheng , Zhang Haibo
Published: November 2023

In order to explore the influence of the infrared stealth technology on the performance of the integrated helicopter/engine system, an integrated modeling method of helicopter/engine/infrared suppressor is proposed. Firstly, based on the power calculation model of the helicopter, combined with the high-precision turboshaft engine component-level model, an integrated simulation platform is built, which takes into account the nonlinear characteristics. Then, the aerodynamic characteristics of infrared suppressors under different engine operation states are studied by CFD numerical computation method, and the infrared radiation characteristics are obtained through combining the positive and negative ray tracing method and narrow band model method. Ultimately, the utilization of the power turbine outlet stagnation pressure is employed as the pivotal interface linking the turboshaft engine and the infrared suppressor in order to formulate an integrated model encompassing the helicopter, engine, and infrared suppressor subsystems. The simulation results demonstrate that compared with the conventional exhaust system, the application of the infrared suppressor greatly enhances the stealth performance of the helicopter, but also results in the unexpected decrease in engine output power. Moreover, the specific fuel consumption of the turboshaft engine increase and the compressor surge margin decreases in case of the consistent flight condition.
Editorial: Special Issue on Very High Cycle Fatigue

Published: November 2023

As the co-guest editors of the special issue of ASTM International’s journal Materials Performance and Characterization on very high cycle fatigue (VHCF), we are delighted to have this issue published by ASTM. Fatigue phenomena have long been a topic of significant interest and of research focusing on understanding the behavior of materials and structures under cyclic loading. However, the exploration of fatigue properties beyond traditional high cycle fatigue has gained substantial momentum in recent years. The VHCF regime, characterized by fatigue life exceeding 107 cycles, presents unique challenges and opportunities for advancing our understanding of fatigue mechanisms and developing robust design methodologies. This special issue brings together a collection of outstanding research articles that delve into various aspects of VHCF and contains 15 peer-reviewed articles (research and review) from researchers all around the globe (Asia, South and North America, and Europe). The published contributions encompass a broad range of materials, including metals and alloys, and employ diverse experimental, analytical, and computational techniques to investigate the behavior of structures subjected to VHCF loading. The research presented here not only enhances our fundamental knowledge of fatigue mechanisms but also provides practical insights for industrial applications such as aerospace, automotive, and additive manufacturing. We would like to sincerely thank all the authors who contributed to this special issue for their high-quality submissions, which greatly contribute to the advancement of this less-explored field. We also extend our acknowledgment to the Editor in Chief of the journal, Dr. Richard W. Neu (Georgia Institute of Technology), and the ASTM Publishing Manager, Ms. Alyssa Conaway. Without their invaluable help and support, it would have been impossible to publish this special issue. We hope this special issue enhances our knowledge and understanding in the field of fatigue, particularly VHCF, and serves as a reliable reference for students, researchers, and engineers working in this field.

Neural Representations of Non-native Speech Reflect Proficiency and Interference from Native Language Knowledge
Authors: Brodbeck Christian , Kandylaki Katerina Danae , Scharenborg Odette
Published: November 2023

Learning to process speech in a foreign language involves learning new representations for mapping the auditory signal to linguistic structure. Behavioral experiments suggest that even listeners that are highly proficient in a non-native language experience interference from representations of their native language. However, much of the evidence for such interference comes from tasks that may inadvertently increase the salience of native language competitors. Here we tested for neural evidence of proficiency and native language interference in a naturalistic story listening task. We studied electroencephalography responses of 39 native speakers of Dutch (14 male) to an English short story, spoken by a native speaker of either American English or Dutch. We modeled brain responses with multivariate temporal response functions, using acoustic and language models. We found evidence for activation of Dutch language statistics when listening to English, but only when it was spoken with a Dutch accent. This suggests that a naturalistic, monolingual setting decreases the interference from native language representations, whereas an accent in the listener's own native language may increase native language interference, by increasing the salience of the native language and activating native language phonetic and lexical representations. Brain responses suggest that such interference stems from words from the native language competing with the foreign language in a single word recognition system, rather than being activated in a parallel lexicon. We further found that secondary acoustic representations of speech (after 200 ms latency) decreased with increasing proficiency. This may reflect improved acousticphonetic models in more proficient listeners.

Significance Statement
Behavioral experiments suggest that native language knowledge interferes with foreign language listening, but such effects may be sensitive to task manipulations, as tasks that increase metalinguistic awareness may also increase native language interference. This highlights the need for studying non-native speech processing using naturalistic tasks. We measured neural responses unobtrusively while participants listened for comprehension and characterized the influence of proficiency at multiple levels of representation. We found that salience of the native language, as manipulated through speaker accent, affected activation of native language representations: significant evidence for activation of native language (Dutch) categories was only obtained when the speaker had a Dutch accent, whereas no significant interference was found to a speaker with a native (American) accent.
MAPL loss dysregulates bile and liver metabolism in mice

Published: November 2023

Mitochondrial and peroxisomal anchored protein ligase (MAPL) is a dual ubiquitin and small ubiquitin‐like modifier (SUMO) ligase with roles in mitochondrial quality control, cell death and inflammation in cultured cells. Here, we show that MAPL function in the organismal context converges on metabolic control, as knockout mice are viable, insulin‐sensitive, and protected from diet‐induced obesity. MAPL loss leads to liver‐specific activation of the integrated stress response, inducing secretion of stress hormone FGF21. MAPL knockout mice develop fully penetrant spontaneous hepatocellular carcinoma. Mechanistically, the peroxisomal bile acid transporter ABCD3 is a primary MAPL interacting partner and SUMOylated in a MAPL‐dependent manner. MAPL knockout leads to increased bile acid production coupled with defective regulatory feedback in liver in vivo and in isolated primary hepatocytes, suggesting cell‐autonomous function. Together, our findings establish MAPL function as a regulator of bile acid synthesis whose loss leads to the disruption of bile acid feedback mechanisms. The consequences of MAPL loss in liver, along with evidence of tumor suppression through regulation of cell survival pathways, ultimately lead to hepatocellular carcinogenesis.
The effect of socioeconomic factors, fear of crime and social mobilization on the evaluation of judiciary decisions
Authors: Ruiz-Adame Manuel , Martínez-Rodríguez Susana , Posada-Pérez Jose Antonio
Published: November 2023

Crimes related to sexual abuse and rape attract large social mobilizations, as happened following the assault on an 18-year-old woman at the San Fermín festival in Pamplona, Spain, by a group of men known as “la manada” (“the wolf pack” in English). Understanding how the aftermath of protests and socioeconomic factors influence the perceptions of fear of crime, safety and justice, measured as judiciary decisions, are the aims of this paper. A randomized sample collected in two periods was obtained (N=605), the first one (n1=454) performed after the judicial sentence of the case, the second (n2=151) four months later, after the social alarm had decreased. The perception of safety increased after the peak moments of the demonstrations. The trust in justice was low and fell after protesters had risen to the streets although its perception was greater among higher income earners. Hence, the perception of safety rises during social mobilizations but only improves for a short period of time whereas the effects on that of justice last for longer.
Algebras of weakly symmetric functions on spaces of Lebesgue measurable functions
Authors: Burtnyak I.V. , Chopyuk Yu.Yu. , Vasylyshyn S.I. , Vasylyshyn T.V.
Published: November 2023

In this work, we investigate algebras of block-symmetric and weakly symmetric polynomials and analytic functions on complex Banach spaces of Lebesgue measurable functions, for which the $p$th power of the absolute value is Lebesgue integrable, where $p\in[1,+\infty),$ and Lebesgue measurable essentially bounded functions on $[0,1].$ We construct generating systems of algebras of all weakly symmetric continuous complex-valued polynomials on these spaces. Also we establish conditions under which sets of weakly symmetric analytic functions are algebras.
Teaching Machine Learning to Middle and High School Students from a Low Socio-Economic Status Background

Published: November 2023

Knowledge about Machine Learning is becoming essential, yet it remains a restricted privilege that may not be available to students from a low socio-economic status background. Thus, in order to provide equal opportunities, we taught ML concepts and applications to 158 middle and high school students from a low socio-economic background in Brazil. Results show that these students can understand how ML works and execute the main steps of a human-centered process for developing an image classification model. No substantial differences regarding class periods, educational stage, and sex assigned at birth were observed. The course was perceived as fun and motivating, especially to girls. Despite the limitations in this context, the results show that they can be overcome. Mitigating solutions involve partnerships between social institutions and university, an adapted pedagogical approach as well as increased on-by-one assistance. These findings can be used to guide course designs for teaching ML in the context of underprivileged students from a low socio-economic status background and thus contribute to the inclusion of these students.
Influence of organic acids on locomotor activity of Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Mesostigmata, Laelapidae)
Authors: Moshkin V. S. , Brygadyrenko V. V.
Published: November 2023

Increasing the activity of zoophage Acari in agrocenoses, for example luring them to concentrations of harmful insects, could be effectively performed using attractants, for example organic acids that people use in households and industry. In our experiment, we studied the influence of organic acids on the locomotor activity of Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Womersley, 1956) (Mesostigmata, Laelapidae). Different organic acids caused certain reactions in those zoophages. Acetic acid encouraged this mite to activity and attracted it, while thioacetic acid inhibited and repelled it. Fatty acids such as tridecylic and oleic acids had an activating effect on the locomotor activity of S. scimitus. Three isomers of valeric acid inhibited locomotor activity, and the mites exerted negative chemostasis to them. Maximum locomotor activity of the mites was observed when using asparagine, ornithine, propionic acid, tridecanoic acid, boric acid, and arginine. Locomotor activity of the mites was inhibited by 3,3-dimethylbutanoic acid, thioacetic acid, pivalic acid, maleic acid, formic acid, succinic acid, 2-methylbutanoic acid, isovaleric acid, 6-aminohexanoic acid, and 2-oxoglutaric acid. We propose using attractiveness coefficient and coefficient of migratory activity, which reflect the effects of aroma compounds on mites. Those coefficients are helpful in identification of a behaviour model for mites exposed to aroma compound: attack, motionless state or escape. High attractiveness and migratory-activity coefficients mean attack on victim; low coefficients indicate motionless mites; high migratory activity and low attractiveness coefficient mean escape reaction. Our results indicate complexity of behaviour reactions of mites, which were sensitive to volatile chemical compounds in the environment. We found a high potential of using those compounds in attracting zoophages during their introduction in agrocenoses of greenhouses and open plots.

This article delves into the intricate interplay among human, animal, and environmental health, acknowledging the convergence of knowledge across diverse disciplines where traditional boundaries blur, fostering remarkable advancements in engineering, genomics, and medicine. The One Health framework transcends mere disease control, aspiring to enhance the well-being of all life forms on Earth. Positioned uniquely to address global health challenges, pandemics, and personalized medicine, this holistic approach identifies pressing issues such as pandemic preparedness, antimicrobial resistance, zoonotic disease surveillance, vaccine equity, climate change's health impacts, food safety, vector-borne diseases, healthcare access equity, data integration, and public awareness and education. It emphasizes the driving forces behind these challenges, encompassing demographic shifts, urbanization, migration, gender-based violence, poverty, globalization, and climate change. Most notably, we delineate One Health and Engineering (OHE) as a pioneering discipline harmoniously blending engineering, life sciences, and environmental sciences to address multifaceted health challenges. Engineers play a pivotal role in crafting innovative solutions through technology, data-driven methodologies, and sustainable infrastructure. The genomics' integration and data science into personalized medicine represents a transformative approach to disease prevention and healthcare delivery. Insights into One Health and Engineering initiatives in Colombia highlight the profound significance of interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing the intricate web of health, environmental, and societal challenges. We showcase the collaborative efforts between the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the establishment of the One Health Genomic Laboratory in Medellín, a beacon of research into diseases, pathogen discovery, and pandemic preparedness

Este estudo teve por objetivo desenvolver um instrumento para identificação de padrões comportamentais, baseado em situações reais do cotidiano relacionadas ao Jeitinho Brasileiro, que mapeia a tomada de decisão em diferentes contextos sociais. Foram desenvolvidos dois estudos que exploraram o fenômeno. No estudo 1, descreve-se a construção de uma escala de medida ipsativa, de escolha forçada, composta por 11 historietas de situações cotidianas e desfechos que exigem tomadas de decisão. No estudo 2, testa-se o instrumento desenvolvido em uma amostra de 480 participantes. A análise confirmatória de escalonamento multidimensional evidenciou um modelo bidimensional de duas dimensões polarizadas: (1) orientação positivo-negativo (assertivo/malandro) e (2) disposição passivo-ativo (negligente/criativo). A operacionalização de uma medida ipsativa demonstrou uma opção funcional alternativamente à escala tipo Likert, possibilitando a mensuração psicológica para comparação interindividual. O estudo, portanto, fornece uma ferramenta empírica complementar em uma perspectiva específi ca para os comportamentos cotidianos sob a ótica do Jeitinho Brasileiro

Os estilos de comportamentos alimentares Restrição Cognitiva (RC), Comer Incontrolável (CI) e Comer Emocional (CE), estão implicados no emagrecimento. Afetos positivos e negativos e forças de caráter podem apresentar recursos para um comportamento alimentar saudável. Analisou-se a associação entre os afetos e as forças de caráter em diferentes estilos de comportamento alimentar de 50 adultos após um programa de emagrecimento. Os que experimentaram menores níveis de afetos negativos apresentaram menos CE e CI e aquelas com menores níveis de afetos positivos relataram mais episódios de CI. Sobre as forças de caráter, pessoas com mais pensamento crítico, modéstia e autorregulação relataram maior controle sobre suas escolhas alimentares, pessoas com mais perseverança, inteligência social, esperança e espiritualidade apresentaram menor incidência de CE. Aqueles que possuem mais perdão, apreciação do belo e esperança demonstraram menor CI. O desenvolvimento de afetos positivos e de algumas forças de caráter podem favorecer comportamentos alimentares mais saudáveis.

Published: November 2023

A violência conjugal é um grave problema de saúde pública. Iniciativas que busquem compreender os elementos envolvidos na violência são relevantes para sua melhor compreensão e para o desenvolvimento de ferramentas interventivas. Este artigo apresenta um estudo qualitativo sobre as concepções de relacionamento amoroso presentes nos relatos de onze homens acusados de violência conjugal, conforme a Lei 11.340, Maria da Penha, em uma capital do Brasil. Foram utilizados questionários sociodemográficos e grupos focais para coleta das informações. Através da Análise Temática, destacam-se os resultados concernentes ao conceito de relacionamento amoroso, comunicação e estratégias de resolução de conflitos, bem como suas subcategorias. Verificou-se o quanto a figura tradicional masculina enfrenta um processo de ambiguidade em seu papel social, o que gera reverberações na relação conjugal. Ademais, o uso da violência como estratégia ineficaz de resolução de conflitos e a idealização amorosa ocupam um lugar de destaque. Salienta-se a importância de pesquisas e intervenções com esta população.
Efeitos da atuação do controle interno nas contratações públicas: um estudo de caso do Portal de Periódicos da CAPES
Authors: Pereira Elba Jane Bastos , Castro Paulo
Published: November 2023

O estudo tem por objetivo analisar e evidenciar os efeitos da atuação do controle interno nas contratações dos conteúdos científicos do Portal de Periódicos da CAPES, política pública de grande relevância para estudantes, professores e pesquisadores do Brasil. A pesquisa propõe, por meio de estudo de caso, de cunho qualitativo, um modelo para análise dos processos de contratações dos conteúdos científicos do Portal de Periódicos. Partindo do princípio de que a interação entre auditor e auditado estimula o aperfeiçoamento e a transparência dos procedimentos das contratações na esfera federal, a hipótese lançada e confirmada é a de que a atuação do controle interno contribuiu positivamente para o aprimoramento dos processos relacionados às contratações do Portal de Periódicos da CAPES. Não obstante, a pesquisa revelou que a boa relação entre auditores e auditados não foi suficiente para evitar sentimentos de insatisfação, angústia e impotência entre os servidores auditados e que nem sempre as divergências são resolvidas pela busca conjunta de soluções.
The neglect of equity and inclusion in open science policies of Europe and the Americas
Authors: Chtena Natascha , Alperin Juan Pablo , Morales Esteban , Fleerackers Alice , Dorsch Isabelle , Pinfield Stephen , Simard Marc-André
Published: November 2023

National, international, and organizational Open Science (OS) policies are being formulated to improve and accelerate research through increased transparency, collaboration, and better access to scientific knowledge. Yet, there is mounting concern that OS policies—which are predicated on narrow understandings of openness, accessibility, and objectivity—do not effectively capture the ethos of OS and particularly its goal of making science more collaborative, inclusive, and socially engaged. This study explores how OS is conceptualized in emerging OS policies and to what extent notions of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) and public participation are reflected in policy guidelines and recommendations. We use a qualitative document research approach to critically analyze 52 OS policy documents published between January 2020 and December 2022 in Europe and the Americas. Our results show that OS policies overwhelmingly focus on making research outputs publicly accessible, neglecting to advance the two aspects of OS that hold the key to achieving an inclusive and inclusive scientific culture—namely, EDI and public participation. While these concepts are often mentioned and even embraced in OS policy documents, concrete guidance on how they can be promoted in practice is overwhelmingly lacking. Rather than advancing the openness of scientific findings first and promoting EDI and public participation efforts second, we argue that incentives and guidelines must be provided and implemented concurrently to advance the OS movement's stated goal of making science open to all.

The contribution of short food supply chains in the formation of agricultural income from different production systems in Brazil
Authors: Andreatta Tanice , Bueno Camara Simone , Balk Brandão Janaína
Published: November 2023

Modern agri-food systems are complex and involve understanding nutritional, productive, institutional, and socioeconomic factors. This study aimed to measure the participation of short food supply chains in the formation of income generated from different production systems on the northern border of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. We used production systems as a methodological reference to analyze the internal and external relations at the production unit level, and based on the developed activities, we economically estimated the respective sales channels. Thirty-one farmers were interviewed between October and November 2019. The farmers considered in the sample developed more than one productive activity and accessed more than one marketing channel. According to the production carried out, we identified three production systems: vegetables, agro-industrial, and mixed. Each system has different specificities and contribution percentages to the total agriculture income. In the market, farmers mobilize conventional and alternative markets. The first was mainly used to commercialize of products such as commodities. Alternative channels were used to sell alternatively and/or traditionally produced food. Alternative systems and/or short channels allowed the elimination and appropriation of a higher percentage of generated wealth, contributing to the viability of smallholder farmers. A striking feature of the production systems analyzed was the diversification in production and sales. Although the product plays the greatest role in the income generated, other activities are important and contribute to the production unit’s productivity and economic stability.
A Sucessão Rural: o olhar do jovem agricultor
Authors: Alberto Júnior Carlos , Machado Deponti Cidonea , Arend Silvio Cezar
Published: November 2023

O êxodo rural foi fator relevante na transformação da agricultura brasileira a partir dos anos 1950/60. Neste cenário Abramovay et al (1998) identificaram um processo de envelhecimento motivado pela ausência de jovem do meio rural. Mais tarde, Spanevello (2008) relata que o esvaziamento do meio rural ocorre pela falta de sucessores para proceder com as atividades do estabelecimento familiar. Para compreender melhor o que incentiva a permanência do jovem no meio rural, esta pesquisa fez frente ao seguinte problema: quais são os fatores que influenciam a tomada de decisão do jovem agricultor em permanecer ou não no meio rural? O objetivo foi analisar os fatores que influenciam no processo de sucessão a partir da percepção do jovem agricultor. Realizou-se uma pesquisa exploratória e entrevistas semiestruturadas em 32 propriedades familiares rurais da Região das Missões-RS. Concluiu-se que os jovens permanecem no estabelecimento familiar principalmente por influência da trajetória familiar, incentivo da família, buscando desenvolver com os familiares alternativas para manterem uma qualidade de vida satisfatória ao grupo familiar. Os que não permanecem são influenciados pela deficiência do grupo familiar em deliberar autonomia e não demonstrar uma segurança financeira satisfatória para todos os integrantes.
Is Psychometrics So Useful for Academic Psychology?
Authors: Тюменева Юлия
Published: November 2023

Psychological theories regarding ability and personality traits often rely on the results of psychometric modelling. The latter is assumed to link responses to test items to an unobserved 'construct' (trait, ability), which is 'modelled' from the test data. However, does the agreement between the data and the model indicate that the model represents a psychological construct? To what extent is ‘psychometric modelling’ modelling in the general scientific sense of the term? The validity of using modelling data to understand psychological phenomena depends on the answer to these questions. The article analyses the logic of psychometric modelling in comparison with modelling in other sciences and argues that psychological phenomena as a subject of modelling are not involved neither in the construction nor in the correction of models. The problem of unjustified interpretations of modelling results in psychology and their undesirable consequences for psychological theory is raised. At the same time, the use of psychometric modelling for human resource decision-making is still waiting for its evaluation.
Psychometrics and Cognitive Research: Contradictions and Possibility for Cooperation
Authors: Кузьмина Юлия
Published: November 2023

The article considered several issues of the relationships between cognitive psychology and psychometrics. Cognitive psychology has mainly developed within experimental paradigm in psychology, whereas psychometrics has developed within a different paradigm – assessment of individual differences and correlational studies. In the article it has been considered a brief history of the development of relationships between experimental studies and psychometrics, from the end of 19th century to the present. The historical view allows understanding  problems in the use of experimental tasks for assessing individual differences and obstacles to the widespread of use psychometric models in experimental studies. Several recommendations are proposed to improve the accuracy of measurements of individual differences in cognitive abilities and processes, from psychometric perspectives.
Decomposing Difficulty of Reading Literacy Test Items
Authors: Иванова Алина , Антипкина Инна
Published: November 2023

The current study investigates the question of test difficulty decomposition depending on the characteristics of items (such as: format, belonging to the type of text to which the item belongs) and the reader's actions required to answer it (search for information in the text, simple conclusions, complex conclusions, critical interpretation of the text). The sample of the study consisted of fourth grade elementary school students in Krasnoyarsk, who completed the computerized test of reading literacy "Progress" in the spring of 2022. Research method: psychometric modeling using the LLTM+e model. Research hypothesis: the decomposition of item difficulties will help to prove that the reading actions required to complete the tasks will form a hierarchy of difficulties similar to traditional taxonomies (B. Bloom), that is, reading skills aimed at analyzing, synthesizing, interpreting information will give tasks greater difficulty than simple conclusions, and those, in turn, will make tasks more difficult than the reader's actions to find information in the text. The results show that the assignment of items to the group of reader's actions is a significant factor. The size of the effects does not allow us to speak of a strict hierarchy, but when other attributes are controlled, the tasks for information retrieval in an explicit form are easier for students than the tasks for complex conclusions and for critical understanding of the text.

MBA DToL DNA barcoding of macroalgae and marine protists, fungi and lichens – detailed Standard Operating Procedure v1
Authors: Jenkins Helen
Published: November 2023

Version 1.5 Purpose: This SOP outlines the method used to DNA barcode macroalgae and marine protists (microalgae), fungi and lichens for the DToL project. The DNA barcodes will be generated for allmacroalgae and marine protists, fungi and lichens being collected by orcultivated at the MBA (as a Genome Acquisition Lab – GAL) and sent to Sangerfor sequencing. Barcodes will act as markers to track the final genomes back tooriginal samples, and to verify morphological identifications. Summary As part of the Darwin Tree of Life(DToL) initiative, the MBA is tasked with the DNA barcoding of all macroalgalspecies and targeted marine protists (microalgae), fungi and lichens. DNA barcodingcomplements the whole genome sequencing (WGS) undertaken at Sanger in two ways: 1. Sample tracking 2. To affirm morphological species identifications provided byexperts

Storage & Revival of Oomycetes v1
Authors: Lee Diana
Published: November 2023

Cryopreservation of oomycetes such as Phytophthora and Pythium species is essential for the long-term maintenance of these organisms. In this method we present an improved cryopreservation protocol for oomycete cultures, using carbon filter paper, to enhance their viability during liquid nitrogen storage with consistency. Our method benefits researchers working with these organisms by long-term, who do not have access to a programmable freezing equipment.
Оценка уязвимости чернопихтово-широколиственных лесов: подход Международного союза охраны природы

Смешанные хвойно-широколиственные леса с доминированием в древостое пихты черной Abies holophylla Maxim., сосны кедровой корейской, Pinus koraiensis Siebold & Zucc. и комплекса широколиственных видов –наиболее флористически богатые лесные экосистемы умеренного климата [3]. Их ареал включает юг Приморского края России, северо-восточный Китай и Корею, однако сейчас малонарушенные чернопихтово-широколиственные леса (чернопихтарники) сохранились лишь в границах особо охраняемых природных территорий [3]. Современные масштабы преобразования естественных сообществ человеком привели к необходимости сохранения природных процессов и связей через сохранение экосистемного разнообразия. Международный союз охраны природы (МСОП) предложил пять количественных критериев оценки редкости и уязвимости экосистем [2], универсальных для всех природных зон. На их основе предлагаются категории охраны, тождественные широко используемым на видовом уровне. Оценка по каждому критерию – отдельная мультидисциплинарная задача: критерии охватывают проблемы сокращения ареала (критерий А), текущего географического распространения (В), деградации абиотических условий (С) и биотических взаимодействий (D), вероятности разрушения экосистемы (Е). Для оценки географического распространения чернопихтарников (критерий B), сокращения распространения естественных лесов во времени (критерий А) и уровня фрагментации лесного покрова (критерий D) в ходе данной работы была решена задача построения актуальной карты растительности на основе автоматизированного дешифрирования c обучением снимков среднего разрешения (используя массив данных Landsat ARD [4]). Результат картографирования подтверждает литературные данные о распространении чернопихтарников Дальнего Востока: они приурочены к нижним и средним поясам гор, распространение скоррелировано с областью проникновения морских туманов, ареал приурочен к побережью Японского моря [1]. Карта ляжет в основу оценки уязвимости чернопихтово-широколиственных лесов с точки зрения подхода МСОП. Работа выполнена при поддержке Междисциплинарной научно-образовательной школы МГУ им. М.В.
