The research is aimed at analyzing variability and developing mathematical models for estimating bark biomass and volume, volume of trunk with bark, and bark proportion of small-leaved linden (Tilia cordata Mill.) trees growing in natural coppice and artificial stands. The models are based on data from 107 and 95 destructively sampled trees in natural coppice and artificial stands, respectively. There were 10 sampling areas per stand type, representing different growth stages. The model trees were sawn into 2-meter sections, the volumes of which with and without bark were calculated using the Huber formula. The total volume of the tree trunk with and without bark is obtained by summing the volumes of all sections and the conical volume of the tree top. The bark volume was the difference between these two parameters. The bark biomass was determined by direct weighing, followed by conversion to absolutely dry mass. The correlations between the dendrometric parameters and the selected tree characteristics were estimated. The effectiveness of 3 regression models using the diameter at breast height (dbh = 1.3 m) and the tree height (h) as independent variables was studied in a comparative aspect. The bark biomass and volume, and the volume of trunk with bark are strongly influenced by these values. This correlation is very weak for the bark volume proportion in natural coppice stands, and insignificant in artificial stands. The bark volume proportion for each tree was calculated as the ratio of the difference between the volume of trunk with and without bark and the volume of trunk with bark. The equation that showed the best statistical characteristics in terms of consistency was chosen in order to predict the bark biomass and volume, the volume of trunks with bark of small-leaved linden trees. These models were estimated using the weighted least squares method taking into account the inherent errors and heteroscedasticity, by assigning each model its weight function separately for natural coppice and artificial stands that differ significantly from each other in morphometric features.

Spireas (Spiraea L.) are widely used in landscaping, while the number of spirea species and cultivars used in Yekaterinburg landscaping is small. Information concerning seed germination will enable the development of effective methods of plant propagation for various purposes, including landscaping. Spirea seeds collected in the botanical garden of the Ural Federal University served as research material. Seed germination was monitored from 2015 to 2018. The study of daily dynamics of seed germination showed that the most active sprouting seeds were the following: S. salicifolia L. and S. humilis Pojark. Seeds of these spireas germinated on the 2nd day after sowing. Seeds of other species began to germinate only on the 3rd day after sowing. The following seeds were highly germinative: S. salicifolia (89.5–97.8 %), taxonomically related to the previous species S. humilis (77.0–96.3 %), and a polymorphic species with a wide range in Eurasia S. chamaedryfolia (71.8–92.5 %). Seed germination of other spireas varied from year to year. This may be related to the lower adaptive potential of these species in the Middle Urals. Perhaps vegetative propagation will be economically useful for these species. The field germination was lower than laboratory germination (from 12.5 to 24.5 % for different species). At the same time, all spireas, except for Spiraea ussuriensis, are capable of regenerating naturally to some extent in the Botanical Garden. Excessive moistening and low temperatures during the growing season and high average winter temperatures had a negative effect on growth and development of spireas and, consequently, on the quality of seeds produced by them. The depth of snow cover in March has a direct correlation with seed quality, as it provides sufficient moisture in the soil at the beginning of the growing season.
Revisiting the Fundamental Theories of Corporate Governance: Do the Westernized Models Fit Emerging Economies?
Authors: Islam Md Tariqul
Published: November 2022

The study revisits the fundamental theories of corporate governance, such as agency theory, stakeholder theory, stewardship theory, and resource dependence theory. Each of the theories identifies the nature of the relationship between the owners and managers and proposes courses of action that could be implemented to foster organizational outcomes. Although there exist differences in views among the proponents of the governance philosophies, these theories are essentially developed for the countries in which diffused ownership pattern is the standard. Following the standardized theories, many developing countries have also adopted Westernised models. However, the outcome of incorporating the mechanisms is inconclusive. Therefore, this study suggests developing codes of governance that prioritizes the prevailing cultural, economic, and institutional dynamics of emerging economies.
Migration and Dynamics of Land Occupation around the Manigri-Beterou Axis in the Communes of Bassila and Tchaourou in Benin
Authors: Djafarou ABDOULAYE
Published: November 2022

The scale of migratory movements in recent years around protected areas is exerting unprecedented pressure on natural resources. Therefore, this study analyzes the evolution of the North-West sector of the Wari-Maro classified forest in relation to the massive influx of rural migrants. The methodological approach used includes documentary research, socio-economic surveys, processing of planimetric and socio-economic data for the sector from 2005 to 2020, analysis and interpretation of the results following a cartographic approach. The exploration of rural migrations and their involvement in the dynamics of land use were carried out along the two axes Oubérou-Wari-Maro-Kikélé and Wari-Maro-Manigri bordering the FCWM. Given the natural potential that abounds in the sector, it is one of the most coveted landscapes by 72% of rural migrants, mainly made up of Yom and Lokpa socio-cultural groups. Agriculture, pastoralism and forestry are the main rural activities. The diachronic analysis of the occupation using satellite imagery (2005-2020) reveals a reduction in natural areas in favor of an increase in agricultural and inhabited areas. It is therefore urgent to encourage natural resource conservation methods in the northwestern periphery of the Wari-Maro Classified Forest.

ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Faktor Faktor Penghambat Pengawasan Penjualan Minuman Keras Oleh Satpol PP Kabupaten Gorontalo Utara. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah jenis deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan sejumlah informan, observasi dan studi dokumen. Penelitian ini difokuskan pada 3 (tiga) aspek yaitu Penegakan Peraturan, Kemampuan dan Peran Masyarakat.

Berdasarkan analisis hasil penelitian, maka dapat ditarik kesimpulan sebagai berikut:

Penegakan Aturan oleh Satpol PP belum maksimal melakukan pengawasan penertiban minuman keras. Diebabkan tidak adanya hukuman ataupun sanksi bahkan tidak ada hukuman pidana sama sekali kepada penjual minuman keras. Maka hal tersebut menghambat pengawasan terhadap penjualan miras; Masih rendahnya Kemampuan Aparat Satpol PP dalam Penertiban Penjualan Minuman Keras di Kabupaten Gorontalo Utara; Masih kurangnya Peran masyarakat dalam upaya mencegah ataupun melawan peredaran minuman keras di sekitar lingkungannya. Hal ini dikarenakan usaha dalam penjualan minuman keras selain mudah didapatkan produksinya juga memberikan keuntungan yang besar kepada penjual, sehingga masyarakat menganggap hal tersebut dapat meningkatkan perekonomian mereka.

Berdasarkan kesimpulan tersebut maka disarankan: Perlunya penegakan aturan berupa hukuman dan sanski yang dapat memberikan efek jera kepada penjual minuman keras; Perlunya pembinaan dan evaluasi terhadap kemampuan aparat Satpol PP dan Linmas dalam melaksanakan tugas pokoknya baik dikantor maupun pada saat melakukan razia dilapangan; Perlunya peran aktif masyarakat dalam membantu mencegah dan melawan peredaran minuman keras dilingkungannya, guna terciptanya ketertiban dan keamanan lingkungan masyarakat.

Real and Fragmented Masks of Buenos Aires
Authors: Baisotti Pablo
Published: November 2022

This article presents a vision of the city of Buenos Aires through some novels and short stories created by Argentine writers, in which their characters use "masks" to face reality or, in some cases, fiction. The various characters have masks used to disguise their identities in their relationship with other people and to hide their feelings. The time used to analyze these issues will be: 1) the "real" time, that is, the action that takes place in a linear and continuous time and; 2) a "fragmented" time, represented in two or more levels in which reality and fiction are superimposed and even, at a certain point, confused. The city is the background frame where the real and the illusory meet through the characters of Adolfo Bioy Casares, Leopoldo Marechal, Julio Cortázar, Ernesto Sábato, Marco Denevi, Pedro Orgambide, among others. KEYWORDS: Buenos Aires, Masks, Reality, Fiction, Bioy Casares, Marechal, Cortázar, Sábato, Denevi, Orgambide.

Self-efficacy and Academic Performance of Mathematics Students in a South African University during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Olawale Babawande Emmanuel , Hendricks Winston
Published: November 2022

Students’ learning contexts are capable of having a significant impact on their learning beliefs and academic performance. As a result, students studying during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak may be at risk of lower academic self-efficacy and subject grades. These students may also hold specific ideas regarding the impact of COVID-19-related changes on their ability to succeed, which could have a direct impact on their self-efficacy and academic performance. Thus, this study seeks to examine how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the self-efficacy and academic performance of mathematics students in a South African university. The paper also sought to examine how teaching and learning in a mathematics education classroom can be sustained post-COVID-19 pandemic. As such, the study was underpinned by an interpretivist paradigm. The study employed a qualitative research approach and a case study design in which the participant of the study were mathematics education lecturers, heads of departments, and pre-service mathematics student-teachers registered for the 2019/20 academic session at the faculty of education in the selected university. Data for the study was collected through the use of a semi-structured interview. The findings of the study revealed that although students’ self-efficacy is adversely impacted by negative emotions like tension, the psychological strain of confinement, academic workload demands, online assessment, and the loss of relatives brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, these factors have no impact on students’ academic performance. Furthermore, findings revealed that for the teaching and learning of mathematics education to be sustained post-COVID-19 pandemic, there is a dire need for a change in curriculum as well as the pedagogical approaches. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that even though the original goal of the sudden transition in the education system was to salvage the academic year, it is now evident that maintaining teaching and learning in higher education institutions will require more than just changing instructional delivery but mathematics education lecturers should adopt the lessons learned from online instruction and develop opportunities for a hybrid approach to teaching-learning.

Factors that Enhance Flexible Teaching of Learners with Special Needs in South Africa in the COVID-19 Era: Implications for Post COVID-19 Classrooms
Authors: Adewoye Segun Emmanuel
Published: November 2022

Notwithstanding the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically in the educational system, research indicated that teachers of learners with special needs carried out meaningful teaching activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the different strategies employed by teachers of special needs learners to enhance effective teaching have been thoroughly researched in the field of education, they were not investigated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to explore factors that enhance flexible teaching of learners with special needs in South Africa in the COVID-19 era. A phenomenological research design was adopted using a qualitative research approach. Ten teachers were purposefully selected to participate in the study. The interviews were recorded and then transcribed. Inductive thematic analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data. The findings of this study revealed that teachers’ characteristic factors such as attitudes towards the use of ICT, prior knowledge of computer use and motivation, and infrastructural factors such as easy access to computers and availability of technology influenced flexible teaching of learners with special needs in the COVID-19 era. The findings of this research contribute to what is hoped will be a continually expanding body of empirical evidence-based insight about effective, flexible teaching strategies that may increase knowledge of the adoption and integration of flexible teaching in the field of education. Being well informed regarding enabling factors that enhance the effectiveness of flexible teaching is essential when designing and providing instruction to learners in a virtual environment. It is recommended that teachers of learners with special needs should gain new information and ICT skills to enable them to adapt from face-to-face teaching to teaching on virtual platforms, especially as educational institutions and research have shifted focus to understanding sustainable post-COVID-19 pedagogical needs.

Introduction: To clarify predictive factors for evisceration after open radical cystectomy (ORC).

Methods: Charts for patients who underwent ORC between 2017 and 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. Patient demographic characteristics and operative outcomes were recorded. Patients who underwent ORC were divided into two groups as patients who developed evisceration (Group 1) and patients who did not develop evisceration (Group 2). The groups were compared according to patient preoperative characteristics, intraoperative parameters and postoperative outcomes.

Results: Total, 164 patients met study inclusion criteria, and 24 patients with evisceration and 140 patients without evisceration were enrolled into Group 1 and Group 2, respectively. In contrast, the presence of diabetes mellitus was significantly higher in eviscerated patients (25.0% and 5.7% p= 0.002), and eviscerated patients had significantly higher BMI (28.8 kg/m2 and 24.9 kg/m2, p= 0.001). Also, non-eviscerated patients had significantly higher preoperative albumin level (p= 0.001). Moreover, the operation time was significantly longer in patients with evisceration (332.5 min and 268.3 min, p= 0.001) and lymph node positivity was significantly higher in patients with evisceration (50.0% and 26.4%, p= 0.020). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that higher BMI, lower preoperative albumin level, and longer operation time were significantly associated with evisceration after ORC. Also, the presence of diabetes mellitus increased the risk of evisceration seven-fold following ORC.

Conclusion: Present study showed for the first time that higher BMI, lower preoperative albumin level, longer operation time and presence of diabetes mellitus were predictive factors for evisceration following ORC.

We report the discovery of a new “changing-look” active galactic nucleus (CLAGN) event, in the quasar SDSS J162829.17+432948.5 at z = 0.2603, identified through repeat spectroscopy from the fifth Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-V). Optical photometry taken during 2020–2021 shows a dramatic dimming of Δg ≈ 1 mag, followed by a rapid recovery on a timescale of several months, with the ≲2 month period of rebrightening captured in new SDSS-V and Las Cumbres Observatory spectroscopy. This is one of the fastest CLAGN transitions observed to date. Archival observations suggest that the object experienced a much more gradual dimming over the period of 2011–2013. Our spectroscopy shows that the photometric changes were accompanied by dramatic variations in the quasar-like continuum and broad-line emission. The excellent agreement between the pre- and postdip photometric and spectroscopic appearances of the source, as well as the fact that the dimmest spectra can be reproduced by applying a single extinction law to the brighter spectral states, favor a variable line-of-sight obscuration as the driver of the observed transitions. Such an interpretation faces several theoretical challenges, and thus an alternative accretion-driven scenario cannot be excluded. The recent events observed in this quasar highlight the importance of spectroscopic monitoring of large active galactic nucleus samples on weeks-to-months timescales, which the SDSS-V is designed to achieve.
Cross-loop Propagation of a Quasiperiodic Extreme-ultraviolet Wave Train Triggered by Successive Stretching of Magnetic Field Structures during a Solar Eruption

Solar extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) waves generally refer to large-scale disturbances propagating outward from sites of solar eruptions in EUV imaging observations. Using the recent observations from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory, we report a quasiperiodic wave train propagating outward at an average speed of ∼308 km s−1. At least five wave fronts can be clearly identified with the period being ∼120 s. These wave fronts originate from the coronal loop expansion, which propagates with an apparent speed of ∼95 km s−1, about 3 times slower than the wave train. In the absence of a strong lateral expansion, these observational results might be explained by the theoretical model of Chen et al., which predicted that EUV waves may have two components: a faster component that is a fast-mode magnetoacoustic wave or shock wave and a slower apparent front formed as a result of successive stretching of closed magnetic field lines. In this scenario, the wave train and the successive loop expansion we observed likely correspond to the fast and slow components in the model, respectively.

Published: November 2022

This paper aims to extend the spore dispersal model to the Healthy-Latent-Infectious-Removed (HLIR) epidemic model for assessing the severity of rice blast disease. The model was solved by the Finite Difference Method (FDM). The results of the model were compared to data from the Prachinburi Rice Research Center (PRRC) on the severity of rice blast disease. Because of a small error, the comparison results showed good agreement between the PRRC data and the simulation by looking at the value of Willmott's index of agreement ($ d $). The first bed $ d $ was 0.7166, while the second bed $ d $ was 0.6421, indicating the model's performance. Furthermore, the optimal parameter, the fraction of spores deposited on the crop, was determined to be 0.173 and 0.016 for beds 1 and 2, respectively. The model can simulate and analyze rice blast outbreaks for educational purposes in future preparedness planning.
