NATURAL CAPITAL AS PART OF NATIONAL WEALTH
Authors:   Tomsk Polytechnic University, Tsibulnikova Margarita R. ,   Tomsk State University
Published: June 2021

In terms of national wealth per capita, Russia lags behind most European countries. The underestimation of national wealth is the reason for the inadequate perception of Russia by the world community, reducing its geopolitical role. Natural capital is becoming increasingly important in measuring national wealth. The World Bank studies have found that the future development of the territory's natural capital depends on how it is used. If the non-renewable portion of natural capital is used for human capital development and invested in large infrastructure projects, conditions are created for the territory‘s long-term sustainable development. If natural capital is spent on current consumption, the territory is deprived of development prospects after its depletion. Special attention should be paid to the sustainable use of renewable components of natural capital, which forms the environment for the development and reproduction of human capital. In order to ensure the rational use of natural capital, it is necessary to create institutional conditions that would ensure its accounting and evaluation. For this purpose, a system monitoring the economic value of natural capital, including social and environmental components, should be established in the structure of regional governance.

The article examines the tactics of forgetting as a strategic instrument of the politics of memory of East Asian countries. These types of forgetting are explicated in cases of Indonesia and Japan. In the case of Indonesia, the phenomenon of forgetting is manifested in the historical memory of the violence against the political rivals of the ruling regime and ethnic minorities in the 1960s and 1980s. In the case of Japan, the phenomenon of forgetting was studied in the politics of memory of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Japan — South Korea bilateral relations. To reveal the specifics of the approach of East Asian countries to the implementation of their politics of memory, the typology of forgetting proposed by the English sociologist Paul Connerton was used. The authors demonstrated specific features of the East Asian approach to the politics of memory. This research revealed similarities and differences between Japanese and Indonesian approaches to forgetting. Analysis of these cases helped to identify difficulties of East Asian countries to find mutual understanding in issues of interpretation of their historical past. The possibility of reaching mutual agreements in the medium-term agenda is not visible.
REWIEV ON THE BOOK “TERRITORIAL SOVEREIGNTY. A PHILOSOPHICAL EXPLORATION” BY ANNA STILZ
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics (Moscow), Bondarenko Nikita
Published: June 2021

The review is devoted to the book by the professor of political science at Princeton University Anna Stilz “Territorial Sovereignty. A Philosophical Exploration” (2019). The main issues of the researcher's work are territoriality, sovereignty, and the system of territorial states. The author proposes a revision of this system from a philosophical point of view. Professor Stilz defends the concept of a state's territorial sovereignty against contemporary criticism. Her position is based on arguments of both cosmopolitanism and liberal nationalism. The researcher recognizes principles of open borders, aid to refugee, global cooperation and criticizes the nationalist interpretation of state sovereignty. However, unlike the view of the cosmopolitan school, A. Stilz believes that the implementation of these liberal principles is possible within the system of territorial states. Moreover, defending state sovereignty, the professor uses ideas of the philosophy of the Enlightenment, Kant's doctrines about the interaction between the individual and the state, and about state sovereignty. The main contribution of this work to the body of political science is three core values: occupancy right, basic justice, and collective self-determination. According to Anna Stilz, three core values can modify the current system of territorial states in accordance with new global challenges.
REWIEV ON THE BOOK “RUSSIA AND THE WESTERN FAR RIGHT: TANGO NOIR” BY A. SHEKHOVTSOV
Authors:   European University at St. Petersburg, Sumaneev Ivan
Published: June 2021

Anton Shekhovtsov is a political researcher who deals with far right movements and leaders, mainly in Europe and in post-Soviet countries. This book presents a comprehensive and multifaceted analysis of ties between Russian officials and institutions with Western, predominantly European far-right politicians and intellectuals. Shekhovtsov points out that these ties have strengthened after 2004. He examines in detail the various scenarios and strategies the Russian sides resort to  from simple lobbying-like activity to more sophisticated schemes, such as electoral reports made by “independent” commissions consisting of the representatives of European far right parties and movements. Shekhovtsov gives the historical perspective, showing the interaction with the European far right even in the times of the Soviet Union. He presents the story of pre- and post-war plans to take advantage of the rightwing activists in Europe, mainly in Germany. The book by Anton Shekhovtsov is an interesting contribution both to our knowledge about the foreign policy of authoritarian regimes and to the field of international relations and Russian foreign policy.
FROM IDEOLOGY TO HATE SPEECH AND THE PROBLEM OF EURO-AMERICAN WHITE SUPREMACIST EXTREMISM
Authors:   St.-Petersburg State University, Gonzalez Cedillo Joel Ivan
Published: June 2021

This article analyzes the relation between ignorance and extremism, and the proposed process, which transforms the ignorance into hate speech the elite uses to achieve their political goals. This type of analysis continues to become more urgent as fascism and ethnonationalism gain popularity in Western societies and in their politics. The article analyzes the definitions of ideology and ideological consistency presented by several academics to understand how extremist ideologies manage to get individuals engaged, and to propose a definition of ideology and extremism. The analysis of manifestos written by two American white supremacist terrorists, who in 2019 murdered twenty-three people in the US are included to demonstrate the relation between the lack of legislation for protecting freedom of speech, ignorance, and the commission of violent deadly attacks on innocents. The conclusion exposes the necessity of legislation that protects freedom of speech and a healthy social coexistence, as well as education and critical thinking skills to avoid the emergence of Euro-American white supremacist extremism. This theoretical and documental research might be used by academics working on ideology and political extremism in Western countries, as well as by policymakers trying to understand the phenomenon of white supremacist extremism.
THE INFLUENCE OF RELIGIOSITY ON THE POLITICAL CHOICE OF ORTHODOX BELIEVERS IN RUSSIA: THE CASE OF LIPETSK OBLAST
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics (Moscow), Karpich Juliya
Published: June 2021

This paper presents the outcomes of empirical research on the religiosity influence on the political choice of Russian Orthodox believers. The research assumptions: (1) political choice is determined by a combination of individual beliefs, practice, and identity each can be both religious and secular; (2) secular beliefs play a key role in political choice; beliefs can help to evaluate the behaviour of political actors and voters' ability to influence the political situation. In-depth interviews with Orthodox believers are used as data (Lipetsk Oblast, 2019-2020). The research has revealed that a religious component in a combination of beliefs, practices, and identities varies depending on the level of religiosity. Beliefs are more important for the most and the least religious groups. Specifically, beliefs on the importance of political issues and the role of morality in political actors' behaviour. In combination with secular beliefs, they lead to protest voting and absenteeism. The choice of the middle group is influenced by religious practices. The combination of religious and secular practices can turn political participation into a habit.
MIXED INDEPENDENT ELECTORAL SYSTEM AND ELECTORAL AUTHORITARISM
Authors:   European University at St. Petersburg, Usova V. А.
Published: June 2021

Over the past decade, the mixed system became the fastest growing variety of electoral systems used in elections for national legislatures. Opinions about the reasons for the popularity of mixed systems in the research literature still vary. There are no cross-national studies in political science that would link the use of a mixed independent electoral system with the consolidation of an authoritarian order. Under authoritarianism, elections perform three functions: imitation, control and signaling. These functions set the structure of incentives for choosing an electoral formula. The purpose of my study is to determine the structure of incentives for the employment of mixed independent electoral systems under conditions of electoral authoritarianism. One of the main results of the study is that, in comparison with democracies, mixed independent electoral systems are more often used in authoritarian regimes. This is due to the fact that mixed independent electoral system provides an opportunity to effectively realize the imitation, control and signaling functions of elections under electoral authoritarianism.
THE REASONS FOR REGIONALIST PARTIES FRAGMENTATION IN WESTERN EUROPE
Authors:   Perm Federal Research Center, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Isobchuk M. V.
Published: June 2021

With the expanding representation of the regions and the emergence of new resources for the electoral struggle within political processes in the EU, the number of political parties is multiplying, and regionalist parties are no exception. Earlier most regionalisms had one historically established regionalist party as a representative (for example, SNP in Scotland or Sardinia Action Party in Sardinia). Now, however, the number of regionalist parties within the region may reach up to 10 or higher (Valley D'Aosta, Sardinia). That said, this trend is not obvious: in some cases, there is no fragmentation of regionalism, and regionalism is still represented by one party (for example, Bayernpartei in Bavaria). What is the reason behind the fragmentation of regionalist parties in some cases and absence of it in others? What are the conditions for the emergence of a "second" regionalist party? The research is devoted to answer these questions. Based on 24 cases of Western European regionalism, an attempt was made to explain the factors of regionalist parties fragmentation using the QCA methodology. The structural parameters of the institutional, identity and party orders were used as factors. The study found that structural factors do not directly determine the presence or absence of fragmentation of regionalist parties.

The article analyzes the political development of Montenegro from the state- and nation-building perspective. This process takes place in the context of multi-ethnicity and disagreements about national and religious identity. The concept of center-peripheral polarity by S. Rokkan is used as the main analytical tool. It reveals the influence of relations between centers and the peripheries on state and nation-building. The authors examine the historical aspects of the national identity formation in Montenegro. The article focuses on the factors that complicate the process of state- and nation-building, including the institutional ones. The authors consider problems of different levels that hinder the implementation of a unified national policy in relation to all «non-Montenegrin» groups: the cleavages between Montenegrins and Serbs, between Montenegrins and other ethnic minorities, between the Montenegrin state and the Serbian Orthodox Church. The article analyzes the current stage of nation- and state-building, the peculiarities of the influence of external actors on this process. The results of the 2020 parliamentary elections, when the opposition came to power largely due to the active position of the Serbian Orthodox Church are also discussed. The authors come to a conclusion about the effectiveness of institutions that must provide political decision-making and consensus-building between different ethnic groups.

Published: June 2021

In Malaysia, vehicle recognition system (VRS) such as vehicle plate recognition and counting, is rapidly growing and applied in many areas such as to identify vehicle identities for the law enforcement by authorities and electronic toll collection by highway agencies. Uncovering the region of interest in chaotic illumination environment at free flow road makes localizing license plate is critical process of VRS. Available edge vertical projection claimed to be robust to illumination, however, it tends to create false edges and sensitive to noises that can hinder the recognition performance. Thus, this research aims to propose a license plate localization method that based on exploitable edge analysis.comprising four main steps, namely pre-processing, rectangular blob searching, analysis and the vertical rectangular blobs projection. It calculates total and exploit edge information at y axis of the image. The proposed method is then tested on the European number plate datasets i.e. Baza Slika which contains about 167 vehicle images and Ondrej which contains about 97 vehicle images. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the Ondrej method by obtaining accuracy of 95% on Baza Slika dataset and slightly lower by an accuracy of 91% on the Ondrej dataset. Then, the proposed method tested on the Malaysia vehicle dataset namely Tol Sungai Long data set which contains about 584 images of different illumination conditions, i.e. 297 images in the morning, 140 images in the afternoon and 147 images in the night. The proposed method outperforms other approaches with accuracy of 91.24%, 93.57% and 75.51% in the morning, evening and night respectively.

Published: June 2021

Information processing in learning theory involves students' ability to receive and understand the information obtained. Students' ability to identify learning methods that are appropriate to the learning style plays an important role in continuously improving the quality of teaching and learning. The need to diversify learning methods today is seen as a step to refine the learning approach in line with the latest technology development. Different student learning styles affect the quality of learning and motivation for a course, especially hospitality and tourism courses. This course is given less emphasis on the theoretical aspect and only focuses on practical needs. Thus, this study examines the adaptation of student learning style based on the Felder-Silverman learning style model. Student learning styles identified through a survey study of 80 students of Hospitality and Tourism courses were used as the basis for developing the e-Hospitality and Tourism model. The resulting e-Hospitality and Tourism model can be used as a guide in technical and vocational e-Learning.

The article considers the relevance of the development of lossless image compression and transmission algorithms and their application for creating transport video surveillance systems. A brief overview of lossless transport image compression methods is provided. We propose a method for compressing transport plots based on the pyramid-recursive method of splitting the source image into polygons of various shapes and sizes. We consider two new algorithms for implementing the proposed method that are fundamentally different from each other: with a transition to the spectral region and without a transition to the spectral region of the original signal to ensure lossless compression. The results of testing various well-known lossless compression algorithms are analyzed: series length, Huffman, and arithmetic encoding, and compared with the proposed algorithms. It is shown that the proposed algorithms are more efficient in terms of compression ratio (2—3 times) compared to the known ones, while the computational complexity increases approximately by more than 3-4 times.

Agent-Based Simulation of Long-Distance Travel: Strategies to Reduce CO2 Emissions from Passenger Aviation
Authors: Pukhova Alona , Moreno Ana Tsui , Llorca Carlos , Huang Wei-Chieh , Moeckel Rolf
Published: June 2021

Every sector needs to minimize GHG emissions to limit climate change. Emissions from transport, however, have remained mostly unchanged over the past thirty years. In particular, air travel for short-haul flights is a significant contributor to transport emissions. This article identifies factors that influence the demand for domestic air travel. An agent-based model was implemented for domestic travel in Germany to test policies that could be implemented to reduce air travel and CO2 emissions. The agent-based long-distance travel demand model is composed of trip generation, destination choice, mode choice and CO2 emission modules. The travel demand model was estimated and calibrated with the German Household Travel Survey, including socio-demographic characteristics and area type. Long-distance trips were differentiated by trip type (daytrip, overnight trip), trip purpose (business, leisure, private) and mode (auto, air, long-distance rail and long-distance bus). Emission factors by mode were used to calculate CO2 emissions. Potential strategies and policies to reduce air travel demand and its CO2 emissions are tested using this model. An increase in airfares reduced the number of air trips and reduced transport emissions. Even stronger effects were found with a policy that restricts air travel to trips that are longer than a certain threshold distance. While such policies might be difficult to implement politically, restricting air travel has the potential to reduce total CO2 emissions from transport by 7.5%.

Authors: Dubey Anuranjan , Ragase Ashish Kumar
Published: June 2021

Background: Tibia being a superficial bone of the body and vulnerable to trauma, often becomes fractured among all long bone fractures. Tibial surface is subcutaneous most of its length so open fractures are common.

Methods: The present cross sectional study was conducted on 20 patients attending the outpatient department Of Orthopedics, Government Medical College and Hospital, Ambikapur, Sarguja (C.G) India between September 2020 to February 2021. Patients within the age group of 18-60 years, having fracture of any duration with gap non union and those having duration of fracture more than 36 weeks without bony gap were included in the study. Details of Patient’s characteristics concerning primary injury and treatment were recorded and evaluation of results were based on Paleys criteria.

Results: In bone/radiological results, seven were classed as excellent, eleven as good with the remainder of 2 being fair and poor each. Functionally nine were graded as excellent, nine as good and two as fair and poor each.

Conclusions: It was found that Ilizarov ring fixator is an excellent treatment modality for tibial non-union with infection. However the technique requires long treatment follow up. Multiple interventions may be necessary to overcome the difficulties which come across the treatment.

Published: June 2021

Background: Scabies is an ectoparasitic dermatosis caused by Sarcoptes scabiei and is a public health issue in all countries regardless of socioeconomic status. Scabies can lead to stigmatization, depression, insomnia, and may significantly affect the quality of life. The aim of the study was to find the demographic profile, clinical morphology and quality of life in patients suffering from scabies.

Methods: This was a prospective, non-interventional, hospital-based cross-sectional study. Adult patients with scabies reporting to the dermatology department were enrolled in the study. Demographic details, clinical findings, past history and family history was recorded in a proforma. Questionnaire about quality of life was given to the patients and a detailed analysis was done.

Results: A total of 120 cases of scabies were enrolled in this clinical study. The most affected age group was between 18 and 30 years. Most common site involved was interdigital spaces (83%) followed by genitalia (48%) and abdomen (42%). The most common lesion was excoriation (91%) followed by papule (88%) and nodules (33%). Out of 120 patients, 111(92%) patients experienced difficulty in working at the work place, 83.3% of patients had feeling of embarrassment, social relationship was affected in 82.5% of patients. Majority of the patients (38.5%) had mild impairment of quality of life.

Conclusions: Feeling of embarrassment, difficulty in work place, social stigmata and depression were frequently observed in patients with scabies. In our study scabies mildly affected the quality of life.
Service: A deeply meaningful value vital for Pacific learners
Authors: Rimoni Fuapepe , Averill Robyn , Glasgow Ali
Published: June 2021

Service is a fundamental value for the teaching of Pacific-heritage learners. This article describes educators’ perspectives of the value of service, one of the values foundational to Tapasā. Findings from interviews, talanoa, and teaching observations show that service is demonstrated and nurtured differently by Pacific and non-Pacific educators, and therefore is experienced differently by Pacific-heritage learners, depending on who is teaching them. Ensuring service is strongly embedded in teaching involves demonstrating deep care for learners and holding high expectations while providing strong support.
Knowledge, agency, and curriculum integration
Authors: McDowall Sue
Published: June 2021

In this article I explore a challenge identified by teachers involved in a recent research project on curriculum integration. Teachers described this challenge as how to balance the need to “cover” The New Zealand Curriculum with the need to support student agency. I describe how teachers saw this challenge, and the different ways they responded to it. I end by considering how our conceptions of knowledge might contribute to the ways in which we might think about and address this challenge.

Authors: Mahidhar P.M.T. , Gadiyaram Gayathri , Paruchuri Rakhee Kumar
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND The computerised tomography (CT) characteristics of COVID-19 are reported and compared with the CT characteristics of other viruses to familiarise radiologists with potential CT trends and to determine the effectiveness of chest CT in the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19. METHODS This was a hospital based descriptive study which involved the first 324 patients with a finding of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) infection validated by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT – PCR). Monitoring patients (198 males, 126 females with a mean age of 46.50 years ± 8.96 [SD] and age range of 21 - 76 years) from April 2020 to July 2020. We correlated the image reports from the initial CT analysis with the findings of the laboratory studies and established possible CT patterns for viral infection. RESULTS The initial chest CT studies of the 324 SARS-CoV-2 patients showed that the disease affected all 'five lobes' in 248 (76.54 percent) patients, both 'lower lobes' in 49 (15.12 percent) patients, the right lower lobe in 23 patients (7.10 percent), and the left lower lobe and right middle lobe in 2 patients (0.62 percent). In 303 (93.52 percent) patients, the lesions were primarily peripheral and subpleural; and there were fewer lesions along the bronchovascular bundles. Two major patterns of SARS-CoV-2 lesions on CT images are GGO (ground - glass opacity) and consolidation. In 303 of the 324 patients (93.52 percent), CT showed single or multiple abnormal GGO or consolidation, or both. In the remaining 21 (6.48 percent) cases, neither GGO nor consolidation was observed on CT. Follow-up CT showed moderate or pronounced disease worsening in 12 out of 58 (20.69 percent) cases and follow-up CT showed improvement with the appearance of fibrosis and GGO resolution. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, the use of a chest CT system in SARS-CoV-2 patients can accurately evaluate pneumonia. Most notably follow-up CT scans may help assess patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia in their response to treatment. KEYWORDS SARS-CoV-2, Pneumonia, Chest Computed Tomography, Ground-Glass Opacities
A Study on Elevation of Troponin I Levels in Acute Exacerbation of COPD and Its Correlation with Clinical Outcome
Authors: C Nirmala Devi , E Dhivya , C Ramakrishnan
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide, and causes significant morbidity. Cardiovascular compromise is often associated with COPD, especially in acute exacerbations. The purpose of this study is to find out the incidence of elevation of troponin I levels in acute exacerbation of COPD patients and measuring the outcome in terms of need for ventilation (both invasive and non-invasive), length of hospital stay & mortality. METHODS This was a prospective analytical study done on 30 patients with acute exacerbation of COPD who were admitted in Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical College and Hospital, Salem, Tamil Nadu from December 2015 to June 2016. Troponin I levels were estimated for all patients on admission. A cut off value of more than 34.2 pg/ml was considered as elevation. A written informed consent was obtained. Clinical outcomes were studied by doing echocardiogram to measure the pulmonary artery systolic pressures (PASP), the need for mechanical ventilation (both invasive and non-invasive), length of stay in the hospital and mortality. RESULTS The pulmonary artery systolic pressures were 52 mm of Hg vs 40.3 mm Hg (P < 0.002), length of hospital stay was 9.67 vs 6.63 days (P < 0.027), patients who required ventilatory support were 13 out of the 30 and the mean duration of ventilation was higher in troponin I elevated patients 5.67 vs 3.57 days (P < 0.0015) and mortality was higher in patients with increased troponin I levels (2 deaths) when compared to patients with normal troponin I levels (1 death)and is statistically significant (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS There was a significant elevation of troponin I in acute exacerbation COPD patients. Our study concluded that the presence of elevated levels of troponin I in acute exacerbation of COPD is associated with increased morbidity in terms of increased need for mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit (ICU) stay and mortality.

O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar como o ensino de Estatística vem sendo avaliado do ponto de vista da construção do letramento estatístico nas provas das Olimpíadas Brasileiras de Matemática das Escolas Públicas (OBMEP), no período que vai de 2005 a 2019. Para tanto, foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa de natureza documental, na qual foram coligidas as provas de todas as edições da OBMEP (2005-20019). As questões que envolviam o conteúdo de Estatística foram analisadas e classificadas segundo os níveis de compreensão gráfica (CURCIO, 1989), os níveis de leitura e compreensão de tabelas (WAINER, 1995) e os níveis de letramento estatístico (WATSON e CALLINGHAN, 2003). Os principais resultados apontam para a predominância de questões que demandam os níveis crítico (33.33%) e consistente não crítico (30.56%) para letramento estatístico; do nível ler entre os dados, para compreensão gráfica (81.25%); e do nível intermediário, para leitura e compreensão de tabelas (100%). Alguns aspectos relacionados à construção do raciocínio e pensamento estatísticos presentes nas provas são discutidos e algumas questões das provas são exploradas segundo as características de letramento estatístico que suscitam
PRÁTICAS PEDAGÓGICAS INOVADORAS: APRENDIZAGEM BASEADA EM PROJETOS E ENSINO HÍBRIDO

As práticas pedagógicas estão em constante transformação e são uma forma de modificar diversos cenários sociais e culturais, pois atinge mais do que a relação professor aluno, perpassa os muros escolares e desencadeia atitudes positivas das comunidades que esses docentes e discentes convivem. Considerando ser fundamental a capacitação dos docentes, desenvolvemo-la com os professores do Ensino Fundamental I, do Grupo Escolar Nossa Senhora de Fátima, de Herval d’Oeste. Tal capacitação prioriza os temas Aprendizagem Baseada em Projetos (ABP) e Ensino Híbrido (EH) os quais proporcionam uma visão inovadora, transformadora e moderna. Frente a atual situação de pandemia mundial, devido ao vírus COVID-19, termos novos foram apresentados e outros resgatados, pois diversos modelos de metodologias ativas já são pautados em muitas formações continuadas, contudo, muitas ainda não eram aplicadas, por requerer, ou, por achar-se que a tecnologia mediava e fundamentava os processos, o que na realidade não está intrinsecamente relacionada. A partir desta problemática, este artigo apresenta possíveis metodologias ativas, reflexões da formação dos acadêmicos nos cursos de licenciatura, bem como os resultados obtidos na capacitação de professores.
La fiscalidad participativa y la economía social y solidaria
Authors: Montero Reynier Limonta
Published: June 2021

La fiscalidad participativa supone un plexo epistémico que posibilita el empoderamiento ciudadano en la gestión integral de las finanzas públicas. Constituye un estado complejo de relaciones que posee como denominador común la democratización del soporte financiero de la labor estatal en general y administrativa en particular; su imbricación teórica con la economía social y solidaria como posición que privilegia los límites sociales al mercado, priorizando el papel de los productores, y los valores de solidaridad y fraternidad que se producen en el marco de las relaciones de distribución, cambio y consumo. El análisis de ambas teorías permite empoderar a los sujetos que tradicionalmente permanecen alejados de las decisiones financieras, y su interconexión desde el punto de vista epistemológico permite la creación de un poderoso instrumento de formulación popular de políticas dirigidas a democratizar los procesos económicos, junto con los mecanismos estatales y administrativos reguladores de la materia.

Arpada yaprak yanıklığı etmeni olan Rhynchosporium commune (Zaffarano, Mc Donalds&Linde), bitkide gelişmeyi olumsuz etkilemekte ve verimi önemli ölçüde düşürmektedir. Etmen, Türkiye’de arpanın en önemli hastalık etmenlerinden birisidir ve gelişmesine uygun koşullarda ürün kaybı %10-40 olabilmektedir. Bu çalışma kapsamında, Türkiye’de yetiştirilen bazı arpa çeşitleri (63 adet) ve Eskişehir Geçit Kuşağı Tarımsal Araştırma Enstitüsü’ne ait ileri kademe arpa hatları (46 adet) 3 tekerrürlü olarak tesadüf blokları deneme deseninde Eskişehir’de 2017-2018 ve 2018-2019 sezonlarında test edilmiştir. Testlerde R. commune’nin 5 virülent izolatı karışım halinde tarla koşullarında bitkilere kardeşlenme dönemi sonu-sapa kalkma başlangıcında (Zadoks 30-39) bir hafta içerisinde üç kere uygulanmıştır. Bu çalışma sonucunda bazı arpa çeşit ve ileri kademe arpa hatlarının R. commune’ye karşı gösterdiği dayanıklılık reaksiyonları 1-9 skalasına göre belirlenmiştir. Alınan sonuçlara göre çeşitlerden %2’si çok dayanıklı, %8’i dayanıklı, %33’ü hassas ve %13’ü çok hassas bulunmuştur. Verim kademesindeki hatlardan ise %12’si dayanıklı, %55’i orta dayanıklı, %33’ü hassas olarak belirlenmiş çok dayanıklı ve çok hassas düzeyde materyal tespit edilmemiştir. Reaksiyon çalışmaları sonucunda hastalığa karşı dayanıklı bulunan arpa çeşit ve hatları gelecekte ıslah çalışmalarında dayanıklılık kaynağı olarak kullanılabilir ve dayanıklı çeşitler hastalığın sorun olduğu yörelerde ekilebilir. Dayanıklı ve/veya yüksek derecede toleranslı bulunan materyaller kontrollü koşullarda test edilerek ve moleküler çalışmalarla da desteklenerek ıslahta güvenilir bir şekilde kullanılabilirler.
