MODELING OF APPLE CHEMICAL FRUIT THINNING
Authors: RADIVOJEVIC Dragan , OPARNICA Cedo , MILIVOJEVIC Jasminka
Published: December 2023

Crop load management in intensive apple orchards must be done precisely to produce a high yield with marketable fruit size. It also ensures the formation of flower buds on the tree for the next season and prevents alternative bearing. In addition to pruning, flower and fruit thinning is another management method that has a major impact on crop yield. Compared to other methods, chemical thinning is the cheapest, can be done quickly and allows fruit thinning at the right time, which guarantees better fruit quality. The decision on the type of chemical agent, concentration and timing of application is very complex and depends on the apple variety, flowering intensity and fruit growth phase, weather conditions during treatment and a few days after. Flower thinning is applied to very high-yielding varieties where fruit thinning is very difficult and tends to bear alternately. Ammonium thiosulphate or ethephon can be used for this purpose only in years with abundant flowering and in conditions where there is no risk of spring frosts. Regardless of whether flower thinning has been carried out or not, the fruits are chemically thinned in the period shortly after flowering. The usual chemical treatment(s) is (are) applied at the early stage of fruit development, when the diameter of the central fruits in a cluster on 2-year-old wood is 5 to 16 mm (in exceptional cases up to 20 mm). At this time, naphthalene acetamide (NAD), naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 6-benzyladenine (6- BA), and metamitron are used to induce abscission of young fruit. These chemicals are used alone or in various combinations to improve the effect. If the thinning efficacy of the single application is weak, sequential applications of chemical thinners with different modes of action must be made 1-3 weeks after the previous application to reduce fruit set to a commercially acceptable level. To avoid under- or over-thinning of fruit of a particular variety, models that predict the effectiveness of chemicals based on short-term light and temperature forecasts are used to determine the optimal time to apply thinners. Immediately after the first application of thinning agents, the “fruit growth rate model” can be used for early assessment of apple tree response to thinning and the need for a new application.

Authors: ACAR Zehra , GÜMÜŞAY Mehtap , GÜNGÖR SATILMIŞ İlkay
Published: December 2023

Aim: This study was conducted to determine women’s experiences about vaginismus that they shared on a forum.

Material and methods: This study was designed as a qualitative study. Data were collected from the messages written between March 2019 and March 2020 on the most commonly used forum website by women in Turkey using the keyword of “vaginismus.”147 messages under this subject title that met the inclusion criteria formed the sample of this study. Inductive content analysis method was used in the analysis of the data. The data were obtained after examining the content of the messages and analyzing them based on the determined code list. Results: The study found that women with the problem of continuing vaginismus used the forum to look for recommendation, information, doctors and treatment methods. It was also found that women whose vaginismus problem is over have opened a topic to help women with vaginismus on issues such as doctor's advice, experience sharing and treatment methods.The message contents were coded to form eight sub-themes. These themes are; Themes; physical reasons, psychological reasons, messages regarding sexual intercourse, messages related to vaginismus treatment, alternative methods, psychological effects, effects on the family life and messages on pregnancy.

Conclusion: Women get information and advice on sexuality, vaginismus and vaginismus treatment from forum sites. Coping with vaginismus in line with false information and suggestions may worsen the vaginismus problem and delay the treatment of women. For this reason, the education and counseling that midwives and nurses will give to couples regarding reproductive and sexual health is of great importance.

EFFECTIVE OPTION OF REINFORCEMENT FOR REINFORCED CONCRETE TAPERED ELEMENTS
Authors: MATWEENKO N.
Published: December 2023

Despite a large number of experimental and theoretical studies on the resistance to shear and crack formation of tapered elements, there are no reliable data in the domestic and foreign literature on the distribution of stresses in such elements in areas near fractures of the faces.
In the article, based on the results of experimental studies, an analysis of the stress-strain state of tapered elements is performed. The main design factors affecting the stress distribution, as well as the nature of the formation and development of cracks are revealed. It is established that in gable beams, inclined cracks are formed not only in the support zone, but also in the middle of the span directly at the ridge, even in the absence of transverse force. The features of the stress-strain state of the beams of the broken outline are associated with the occurrence of tangential stresses from the action of the bending moment and longitudinal force due to the variable height of the section of the element, as well as with the formation of local stress fields in areas near the fractures of the faces.
Based on the data obtained on the basis of experimental and theoretical studies, an effective option for reinforcing ridge zones of reinforced concrete gable beams and frames is proposed.

Authors: ROMANOVSKIY S. , BAKATOVICH А.
Published: December 2023

The article discusses thermal insulation materials of a fibrous structure based on plant agricultural waste. The results of full-scale tests of flax noils insulation used for thermal insulation of an external wall fence with a ventilated insulation system of a one-story residential building are presented. Data from studies of the thermophysical characteristics of a wall enclosing structure with experimental materials are presented. Temperature distribution graphs along the thick-ness of the wall enclosure structure were constructed, after which the values of thermal resistance to heat transfer were calculated. The dependences of the distribution of humidity along the thickness of thermal insulation were revealed. Based on the results of full-scale tests, it was revealed that at an outside air temperature of -23 °C, the value of thermal resistance to heat transfer of a wall with experimental insulation of flax noils is equal to 3,24 (m2·°C)/W. The research results prove the effective operation of thermal insulation materials based on flax noils for wall enclosing structures.

Authors: Wen Ivan Vun Kai , Choi Sang Long
Published: December 2023

The importance of a transformational leader's capabilities is beyond direct guidance, rather it extends towards securing lasting outcomes and sustained performance. Considering multiple facets of enhancement are inevitable, the various dimensions of transformational leadership enable scholars and industrial practitioners to pinpoint the pivotal aspects of transformational leadership responsible for employee engagement. Expanding on existing theories, it becomes vital to establish the traits of transformational leadership that significantly influence an employee engagement. Thus, this conceptual paper shall fortify the theoretical structure by investigating the relationship of transformational leadership (idealized influence, individualized consideration, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, employee appreciation, performance expectation) and the correlations towards employee engagement, through comprehensive literature reviews, validating the significance of the relationship. From the findings of this study, the relationship between transformational leadership and employee engagement was justified to be significant. Future studies may leverage the expanded framework proposed in this conceptual paper to conduct quantitative studies in specific geographic areas or industries, further validating the effectiveness of these variables.

Authors: Olsson Imaobong
Published: December 2023

Migration is a common phenomenon, often driven by solid motivations, mainly involving long-term relocation. Residents of less affluent countries frequently migrate to more prosperous nations for improved livelihoods. Remittances, the transfer of monetary and societal supplies from the nations that host immigrants to their nations, are recognized as a significant outcome of international migration. Nigeria, a prominent recipient of remittances, serves as the focus of this study. The findings unveil that lack of food, security, safety, joblessness, and no income force global immigration to be the only alternative for most people in Nigeria who are not from well-to-do families. The methodology employed in this study is triangulation, which involves comprehensively examining various data sources to reinforce the validity and reliability of the research findings. The research is rooted in the neo-classical theory, delving into global immigration with a specific impact on remittances from their home country.

Authors: ÖZTÜRK İsmail Yavuz , DURMAZ Ramazan
Published: December 2023

Effective use of visuals, which is one of the important coding systems in terms of understanding and expression effectiveness, in the communication process is as important as the basic language skills of Turkish. For this reason, visuals are used in language education, and therefore in language teaching curriculums, students need to understand visuals accurately, quickly and completely and express themselves effectively with them. In other words, content to improve visual literacy skills should be included. Because in Turkish education, visuals serve to create meaning, support the meaning or accompany the meaning. In the Turkish Curriculum for Grades 1-5, which was prepared within the framework of a constructivist approach and started to be implemented in 2005 in order for students to acquire these skills, for the first time, a learning area called "Visual Reading and Visual Presentation" was included alongside the four basic language skills with 28 objectives. This practice, which was not found in the teaching programs for secondary school of that period or the primary and secondary school levels of the following years, is thought to be appropriate in terms of developing students' visual literacy skills. It is aimed to compare the achievements of the 2019 Turkish Course Curriculum, which was renewed and implemented in 2018 and took its final form in 2019 with the achievements of the 2009 Turkish Course Curriculum (Grades 1-5), which started to be implemented in 2005 and took its final form in 2009 with some changes, additions, deletions and corrections in the context of visual reading and visual presentation skills in this study. Document analysis technique was used in the study, which was conducted in accordance with the descriptive research model and qualitative research method. The examination objects of the study are the Turkish curriculums published by the Ministry of National Education, Board of Education in 2009 and 2019. In this context, objectives related to visual reading and visual presentation were identified in the curriculums; the data are presented in tables. At the end of the research, suggestions were presented for curriculum designers and researchers.

Published: December 2023

Philology is a science that gets many contributions from various disciplines, including media technology. The purpose of this study is to uncover the contribution of media technology to the development of philological studies. Philological studies were carried out on ancient manuscripts containing handwritten texts, so they needed to be handled for their preservation. The existence of media technology is very helpful in efforts to preserve ancient manuscripts to be read and studied by current and future generations. This research uses a descriptive method by searching for data to be analyzed in accordance with phenomena that occur in society related to perceptions of philological science. The data recorded are in the form of social events that generally show a lack of attention to philology and manuscripts left by ancestors as cultural heritage. The results showed that there was still a low public understanding of philology. So to arouse attention to philology and manuscripts as cultural heritage, philology really needs other fields of science, especially media technology. Along with the development of technology, the ease of accessing various manuscripts can be done through the internet media. Nowadays, there are many websites that provide manuscript documents found in various museums and libraries. In that regard, media technology plays a very important role in the development of the field of philology through the transfer of media from various manuscripts to be read and studied by current and future generations. It proves that media technology contributed greatly to the development of studies in the field of philology

Hümaniter Bir Siyaset ve Ahlâk Teorisi Olarak Hâkimiyet Tasavvuru: H. Z. Ülken’in Görüşleri Işığında Bir İnceleme
Authors: BAKIŞ Mehmet Latif
Published: December 2023

Hilmi Ziya Ülken, siyaset ve ahlak felsefesi başta olmak üzere neredeyse bütün çalışmalarında “insan”ı ve “ahlâk”ı meselelerin meselesi olarak değerlendirir ve merkeze alır. Zira ona göre, tüm meseleler insanda odaklaşırlar. Siyaset ve ahlak gibi iki önemli hususiyet de ancak insanı odağına aldığı ölçüde kıymet kazanır. Böyle bir kriterin belirleyici olduğu dünya görüşü, Ülken’in düşüncesinde, insaniyetçilik veya hümanizma olarak karşılık bulur. Söz konusu insaniyetçilik ya da hümanizma düşüncesi, Batı Rönesansı sonrasında ivme kazanan homosentrik düşünceyi çağrıştırmamaktadır. Daha ziyade, Doğu düşünce ve kültürünün izlerinin görüldüğü bir düşünceyi seslendirmektedir. Zira homosentrik tavır alışta Transandantal (Aşkın) alana karşı bir duruş ağırlık kazanırken, Ülken’in sözünü ettiği insaniyetçi düşüncede Teosentrik değerler çerçeveyi belirlemekte, söz konusu çerçevede insan amaç varlık olarak öncelenmektedir. Bu husus, bir tarafta dinamik süreçlerin gerçeklerini bir diğer tarafta da geleneksel değerlerin gerekliliklerini bir arada kabul etmeyi ifade eder. Nitekim “insaniyetçi” perspektifi, Ülken’in hem geleneksele yaklaşımı hem de geleceğe dair görüşü hakkında fikir vermektedir. Aksiyon ve sabitenin bir aradalığını savunan Ülken, “ahlâk” damarından beslenen bir insancıl siyaset teorisi geliştirirken, ahlâkın esası olan “tamamlayıcı fiiller”in koruyuculuğunu da savunmaktadır. Dinamizm ve sabite mevhumlarının bir arada zikredilmesi kolay görünmemekle birlikte, ilke ve hedefler açısından, dinamik süreçlerde de bir sabitenin olması zorunluluk arz etmektedir. Bundan dolayı Ülken, ahlâk ilkelerini ve o ilkeler üzerine kurulu olan ve de söz konusu ilkelerin “koruyucu” olduğu bir siyaset anlayışını esas alır. Farklılıkların ve çeşitliliklerin zenginlik olarak algılandığı; öznelerin bilinçli ilişkileri üzerine kurulu bir milletler federasyonunun teşekkül ettiği; ortak değer ve benzerlikler etrafında dünya insanlarını tek bir devlet haline getirme arzusunun tebellür ettiği bir siyaset teorisi olan “Hâkimiyet”, Ülken’in, “kriz ve ritim”, “integral insan”, “milletler konfederasyonu”, “insaniyet”, “kültürler bütünü”, “mertebeler”, “adalet” vb. meseleleri de içeren ve hümaniter ilkeleri esas alan fütüristik düşüncesini seslendirir. Ülken’in “Hâkimiyet” perspektifi, insanlığın ortak deneyimi ve ortak aklı olarak da kabul edilen tarih ve kültürden ilhamını almaktadır. Söz konusu teori ya da perspektif, insanın aynı zamanda geleceğe ve modernleşmeye yürüyüşünün de serencamını ifade eder. Söz konusu perspektif, idealizm-realizm kutupları arasında realist bir dengenin gözetildiği bir yapı arz eder. Platon, Aristoteles ve Kant’ın da Ülken’in düşünce ikliminde mezcoldukları bir tavır alış olan “Hâkimiyet”, insanın, ahlâkın, toplumun ve devletin devamlılığının da teminatı olarak görülmektedir.

This article offers a showcase of students’ work from the class “ENGL 167: Steinbeck” at San José State University. At the end of the term, students were presented with three options: they could compose a traditional research-based, analytical essay; they could create a series of lesson plans for a high school unit on Steinbeck’s work; or they could craft a creative response. All students were required to submit an initial prospectus and a research summary, and students who submitted a creative project were also asked to submit an artist’s statement that connected their project to the semester’s readings and their external research. The projects shared here use visual art, crafts, collage, creative writing, music, and a crossword to reflect on the author, his work, and his enduring legacy.
Dossier: Iglesia y catolicismos entre la debacle de la dictadura y el renacer de la democracia. Nuevos enfoques y problemas.
Authors: Fabris Mariano
Published: December 2023

Nuestro conocimiento sobre el rol de la jerarquía eclesiástica ante el golpe de Estado de marzo de 1976 y sobre la situación de la Iglesia y el catolicismo durante los años de la dictadura, se viene ampliando en forma sostenida durante las últimas décadas. El camino que comenzó a trazar Emilio Mignone, en un ya lejano 1986, fue continuado por abordajes tributarios de los esquemas propuestos inicialmente por este militante católico comprometido con la defensa de los DDHH y se complejizó a medida que las lecturas en clave periodística y testimonial (Verbitsky, 2006 y 2012; Dri, 2011, Laguna, 1996; Ortíz, 2007; Scavo, 2013), la propia Iglesia (Galli, Durán, Liberti y Tavelli, 2023) y las investigaciones académicas (Morello, 2014; Bilbao y Lede, 2016; Catoggio, 2016) le dieron forma a un campo rico y diverso.Un balance de los recorridos de este campo sugiere que, desde las primeras miradas centradas en la actitud de los obispos y desplegadas partir de un imperativo de denuncia de la complicidad eclesiástica con la represión, se ha pasado a trabajos que reflejan un abanico más amplio de preocupaciones, que incorporan aportes teóricos novedosos y que se enfocan en problemas y recortes temporales y espaciales más específicos. Es probable que todavía se pueda hablar de un conocimiento fragmentario y de abordajes muy heterogéneos que, en ocasiones, dificultan el diálogo entre las investigaciones. Sin embargo, la evaluación del conjunto de la producción permite reconocer avances significativos y buenas perspectivas para el futuro. 

Este dossier da cuenta de algunos de esos avances al reunir trabajos que reflejan dos de las líneas que nutren los nuevos desarrollos: el estudio de la prensa católica y el abordaje de la Iglesia y el catolicismo desde una perspectiva centrada en el espacio local. Además, considerando que en diciembre de este año 2023 se cumple el cuadragésimo aniversario del retorno de la democracia, los trabajos se concentran en la coyuntura comprendida entre la debacle de la última dictadura y los primeros pasos del naciente orden constitucional.

If we do not carry out the construction of modern system and without the help of informatization, it will not only waste time, but also be prone to errors. Using information technology, we can achieve three scientific and modern requirements. One is scientific process. Through information technology, all links of sorting, sorting, and receiving, distribution and transportation packaging are implemented in place, and automatic scanning instrument is used to ensure that the products are free from pollution, odor and wrong taking, and the one-stop process service is realized. The second is scientific operation, through information technology to integrate the collaborative supply chain, constantly analyze and improve their own problems, learn from each other to realize integrated supply, real-time information sharing, and promote all aspects of logistics into a higher level. Similarly, in this process, enterprises are no longer simply playing the role of logistics, but also should be introduced into modern science and technology industry, establish research bases within logistics, introduce information facilities, and contribute to the promotion of corporate culture.
Relationship between Soil Texture, Demographic Deficit of Women and Women's Employment in Agriculture: A Further Research
Authors: Hua Xia
Published: December 2023

This study aims to replicate the findings of Carranza (2014) and expand on them by examining how soil texture relates to female labor force participation and gender inequities in India's agriculture industry, while also considering regional variations. This study utilizes cross-sectional data from 577 districts to establish that soil endowments, namely loamy and clay soil fractions, have a substantial and favorable impact on the female-to-male ratio in the age bracket of 0 to 9, as well as on women's involvement in agricultural employment. Examination of regional subgroups demonstrates a notable impact of clay soil on the ratio of females to males in the North and Northeast regions, whereas no such influence is shown in the South region. The results of this study emphasize the importance of environmental resources in comprehending gender inequalities in workforce engagement and support the implementation of policies that consider regional soil resources. This study proposes the need for further multidisciplinary research and collaboration, along with region-specific interventions, soil conservation measures, and educational initiatives, to effectively tackle these gaps and advance gender equality in India's agricultural industry.

Published: December 2023

Background: Nursing students' attitudes toward older adults was considered as one of the main reasons of willingness to provide elderly care. Previous studies could not consider the heterogeneity characteristics of nursing students' attitudes towards older adults. This study was to identify nursing students' attitude towards the elderly using Latent Profle Analysis (LPA) and discussed the influence factors of different potential attitudes. Methods: 622 participants were included. Palmore's Facts on Aging Quiz, Kogan's Attitude Toward Older People Scale and Interpersonal Reactivity Index were completed. LPA and Logistic regression were used to categorize participants into distinct KAOP subgroups and identify predictors of KAOP subgroup classification, respectively. Results: Latent Profles Analysis produced two profiles: Positive attitude (60.1%, n = 373), negative attitude (39.9%, n = 249). Positive attitude towards the elderly was decreased from 95.8% to 60.1% based on the population heterogeneity. Logistic regression analysis revealed that multiple-child family, the relationship with older adults, knowledge of aging, perspective-taking and empathic concern affect nursing students' attitude towards the elderly. Conclusions: Targeted interventions to improve attitudes might focus on those subgroups from person-oriented approach through helping them to build good relationship with older adults, strengthening knowledge of aging and cultivating empathy.

With the acceleration of urbanization and the increase of population mobility, the public health and safety situation in the main urban area of Chongqing, as a modern metropolis with rapid economic development and dense population, has become increasingly complex and severe. The outbreak and spread of infectious diseases pose a serious threat to the lives and health of community residents and social stability, so it is crucial to strengthen the research on the prevention and control system of infectious diseases in grassroots community health service centers. Grassroots community health service centers in the main urban areas of Chongqing are the foundation and frontier of the entire public health prevention and control system, which is directly related to the health level of community residents and community public health safety. In the current global context of multiple, new, and frequent outbreaks of infectious diseases, it has become imperative to strengthen the construction of the infectious disease prevention and control system of grassroots community health service centers to improve the effectiveness and level of infectious disease prevention and control. This study will focus on the infectious disease prevention and control system of grassroots community health centers in the main urban areas of Chongqing, aiming to deeply analyze its composition structure, functional positioning, operation mechanism, personnel quality and facilities and equipment. Through the study and analysis of the infectious disease prevention and control system, existing problems and bottlenecks will be identified, and feasible and operable optimization suggestions will be made to promote the improvement and enhancement of the infectious disease prevention and control system. The significance of this study is not only to provide scientific basis and practical guidance for the improvement of the infectious disease prevention and control system in the main urban area of Chongqing, but also to provide reference and experience sharing for similar problems in other cities and regions, so as to jointly promote the modernization and standardization of the infectious disease prevention and control system of China's grassroots community health service centers, in order to ensure the health and safety of the community residents.
