Authors:   Raisa P. Kuzmina Institute of Humanitarian Studies and Problems of Small Peoples of the North, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kuzmina Raisa P.
Published: January 2021

The article describes the names of dwellings in the Even language in the ethnolinguological and cultural aspects. There is the semantics of lexical units nominating dwellings that have parallels in other Tungus-Manchurian languages. These lexemes are classified into three groups. The research is conducted on the basis of the local accents and dialects of the Even language; ethnographic, bilingual dictionaries of various kinds and expeditionary materials of the author collected in the places of compact residence of the Even are also used. The study enabled to discover 28 lexical units nominating various housing depending on their functions, construction and adaptability to the landscape of places of residence of certain groups of Evens. This is one of the facts that demonstrates the Even traditional material culture preservation despite transformation and assimilation tendencies destructive for language minorities.
MANIFESTATION OF "DIRECTION OF VIEW" MEANING IN THE SEMANTICS OF KHAKAS VERB КÖР- "LOOK, SEE"
Authors:   MARIA D. CHERTYKOVA Humanitarian Researches and the Sayan-Altay Tyurkologiya of Katanov Khakass State University, Chertykova Maria D.
Published: January 2021

The current paper aims at describing the semantic structure of the common Türkic verb кöр- «look, see» and identifying the relevant features in its semantics. Particularly, the meaning of «direction of view» is analyzed when the verb is joined by a noun in the accusative and directional cases, a subordinate clause describing specific situations as well as adverbs with the corresponding meaning. Being polysemantic, the verb, beside its direct meaning, is characterized by 8 indirect ones that are common for other Turkic languages; they are related to 3 spheres: social, emotional, and mental. In addition to those, 4 other lexical-semantic variants were found that preserve the seme of perceptiveness, although it is not dominant in them. All these findings demonstrate huge word-building, high structural and analytic potential of this verb in the Khakas language.

Published: January 2021

In this article, the functions of discourse markers are considered. Despite numerous investigations concerning this issue in linguistics, there is no agreement on a discourse marker definition, neither there is a common approach to terminology describing the phenomenon, nor unified criteria for their classification. Therefore, we analyze the existing approaches regarding this phenomenon and generalize on them viewing discourse markers as objects of linguistics with great functional potential. In the experiment, specific features of the discourse markers ну and well are revealed in contexts that actualize their functions, their frequency is also demonstrated. Several functions of these discourse markers are singled out and illustrated by numerous examples.

Authors:   Alfina Shamilyevna Sultanova  Sterlitamak branch of the Bashkir State University, Sultanova Alfina Shamilyevna
Published: January 2021

The present paper aims to study word structure and meaning of the proper names that appear in Mustai Karim’s literary works. In this article, the methods of system, theoretical and practical analysis are used. Based on the analysis of poetonyms, the word-building patterns of proper names in M. Karim’s autobiography novel «Long-long childhood» are considered. As far as this issue has never been the focus of linguists’ attention, this research is the first attempt of a comprehensive study of proper names used in M. Karim’s novel from structural and word-building angles; the specificity of the functioning of onims and their role in the creation of artistic images, as well as in the reflection of the main stages in the development of the Bashkir language, is revealed. The work makes a definite contribution to the study of trends in the development of the Bashkir language system, as well as structural and word-formation features of poetic onomastics.
SYNTACTIC FEATURES IN THE VERKHNEKOLYMSKIУ DIALECT OF THE EVEN LANGUAGE
Authors:   Sardana I. Sharina The Institute for Humanities Research and Indigenous Studies of the North Russian Academy of Sciences Siberian Branch, Sharina Sardana I.
Published: January 2021

The article discusses the syntactic features in the Verkhnekolymsky dialect of the Even language, which has not been coherently described so far. The analysis of the material collected during the field expedition to the Verkhnekolymsky region of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in 2014 enabled to state that the word order in Verkhnekolymsky dialect is similar to the standard variety of the language. In accordance with its rules, combining words and phrases with coordination is performed using the corresponding coordinating particles and conjunctions and is expressed by enumerating intonation. In the subjects’ speech, mainly coordination in case and number was found. As far as the absence of this coordination is rare in Verkhnekolymsky dialect, it cannot belong to the Western dialect group whose relevant feature is the absence of this coordination. In subordination, nominal words and participles are subordinated in case to the independent word they are linked to with appropriate subordinators. Thus, at the level of syntactic patterns, Verkhnekolymsky dialect can be preliminary affiliated to the Middle dialect group.

The present article focuses upon phonological length realization patterns of Selemdzha Evenki vowels. The material of 90 words pronounced in isolation was obtained from 4 subjects, native fluent speakers of Evenki (1 male and 3 females, aged 54-70). They were asked to read each word 3 times to imitate 3 positions in the utterance: initial, medial, and final. As a result of the acoustic analysis, it was found that phonologically long vowels possessed more than 2 times longer duration than that of short vowels. In the group of long vowels, the direct correlation was noted between vowel openness degree and their duration: the more closed the vowel was, the larger duration it had. In the group of short vowels, no dependence of that sort was found: the longest vowels turned out to be the ones of the main triangle /i-a-u/. Vowels /ɜ:-ɜ/ were characterized by the smallest duration in both groups. Comparison of vowel duration in different positions of the Evenki word suggests that, on average, the longest vowel is the one in the final syllable (before a pause), regardless of the number of syllables in the word.

Published: January 2021

Imperative sentences in Evenki and Orochon are undoubtedly a challenging issue of their grammar and phonetics. The aspects, on which researchers' opinions diverge, include grammar tense, neutral and inverted word order and prosodic arrangement of the sentences. It is the only type of sentences with the verb in sentences-initial position. Among 14 imperative verb forms (they change in 2 tenses with varying names, 3 persons and 2 numbers; some of them have inclusive and exclusive forms), 2nd-person forms in the Present Tense are characterized by the highest frequency of occurrence. This paper reports the results of an acoustic study of pitch movement in Evenki and Orochon imperative sentences depending on the number of words, syllables and the word order. The following results were obtained. In the Evenki material, two- and three-word syntagmas were characterized mostly by rise-fall pitch pattern while one-word syntagmas could have both rise-fall and fall patterns. Four-syllable-one word syntagmas' pattern was pitch declination while two- and three-syllable-one-word syntagmas could have both rise-fall and declination patterns with similar frequency of occurrence...

Published: January 2021

The article is concerned with the analysis of the linguostylistic means used to effect contextual segmentation of the Old English elegy The Seafarer. It is hypothesized that discourse types of the poem including narration with some elements of description, reasoning and implicit dialogue are the key means to convey the author’s main idea. The focus of the study is on the use of the principal lexical and grammatical markers indicating the change of discourse types: personal pronouns of the 1st and 3rd person, finite verb forms and connotationally diversified vocabulary. In the narrative part, the emphasis is made on the extensive use of pronominal and verb forms of the 1st person singular as well as on the prevalence of emotive lexical units with negative meaning. Reasoning was discovered to be characterized by the domination of the 3rd person forms and balanced use of lexical units with negative and positive semantics. Implicit dialogue was found to be notably rich in pronominal forms of the 1st person plural and causative modality expressed by lexical and grammatical means. We conclude that the poem under study features a triform composition built by various linguistic means on the grammatical, lexical and stylistic levels.

Some lexical-semantic peculiarities of translation of terminological nominations of Yves Rocher cosmetic products for face care were the focus of this research. During the analysis of terminological nominations of cosmetic products, the problem of partial correlation of such nominations in French and Russian has been revealed. Therefore, an attempt has been made to complete the existing official translation and present the obtained results in the form of “Yves Rocher Cosmetic Guide” with comments that can help choose from the cosmetic products of this company, as well as other French cosmetics brands.
SEMANTIC SHIFT AS A SOURCE OF LEGAL TERMINOLOGY DEVELOPMENT (BASED ON ENGLISH)
Authors:   Elena P. Popova Russian State University of Justice, Popova Elena P.
Published: January 2021

The article considers the issues of semantic derivation, its role and place in English legal terms forming at different stages of legal vocabulary development. Semantic derivation (in various sources also referred to as semantic shift and semantic transfer), along with word-building, is one of the internal sources of a language word-stock development and enlargement. A short insight into the theory of terminology at the beginning of the paper enables to determine the status of a term, its relative features, semantic requirements for a term, and to review the most common ways of term formation. Further, the place and role of legal vocabulary are viewed in relation to general literary language, and the issue of English legal terms variance is brought up. Dynamics in the semantic structure of a word is well traced in diachronic and synchronic studies of semantically reinterpreted items from the point of view of their connection with extra linguistic realities. In the experiment, the focus has been made upon the linguistic material of the Old English, Middle English and Early Modern English periods in relation to the periods of Anglo-Saxon law...
MEDIEVAL PERSON SPHERE THROUGH THE PRISM OF THE LINGUOCULTURAL CHARACTER TYPE CHEVALIER MÉDIÉVAL: THE MODELLING OF PASSPORT
Authors:   Valeriya Alexandrovna Rayskina Moscow City University, Rayskina Valeriya Alexandrovna
Published: January 2021

This article presents the results of modeling the passport of the linguocultural character type of «chevalier médiéval» (medieval knight). The analysis of its textual conceptualization is based on the XI-XIII century literary discourse and was performed using corpus linguistics methods. The modeling was applied in accordance with the following scheme including a number of parameters: gender peculiarities, typical physical portrait, social status, activity fields and verbal behavior characteristics. The passport reflects some individual features of a model knight personality and general value dominants in medieval person sphere in a feudal society. The portrait combines mostly positive features such as military honor, glory, courage, physical and moral prevalence with some negative ones including deceit and boasting. They are manifested by the semantics of the verbs used as well as in the parentheses that characterize the subject’s manner of speaking.
THE BIBLE WORDS IN YESENIN’S POEMS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY PERIOD
Authors:   Elena V. Sergeeva Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Sergeeva Elena V.
Published: January 2021

Bible words have recently become the focus of linguists’ attention. They are viewed as separate vocabulary group in the system of nominative, expressive and metaphorical means of the Russian language. This paper examines the evolution of Bible words functioning in S. Yesenin’s poems from religious humanism to expressing revolutionary protest. Functioning patterns and techniques of desacralization are studied. The results of Yesenin’s poems analysis demonstrate that the poet used Bible words to convey the message that secular and sacred worlds can overlap. The topic of religious humanitarianism is developed on the basis of desacralization of Bible words that further actualize the meaning of sacrificing for the sake of Revolution. Against-God motives that were characteristic for the literary works of the early 20th century appear in Yesenin’s poetry. Reinterpretation of Bible words in various contexts in literary works definitely indicates their importance for poetic texts, and studying their functioning patterns in different type of discourse could be the focus for a number of further research works.

Published: January 2021

The book reviewed presents the results of comparative linguistic study of Russian, Kazakh and American cognitive models of courtroom discourse. The discourse common relevant features are institutionality, conventionality and theatricism. During the analysis of courtroom session transcripts, the unity of locution, illocution and perlocution was found to characterize the discourse type independent of the language. The first one is meant to inform about the defendant, the second one is performed by a courtroom subject (prosecutor, lawyer, defendant, witness) with a certain intention and results in the third one. Also, intertextuality was observed to be expressed in various inner-text and inter-text relations. Speech behavior of the subjects was found to follow common strategies depending on the roles performed. It was shown that accusation strategy is characterized by a number of tactics that include creating the negative image of the defendant, giving facts that prove the defendant’s guilt, discrediting the evidence in favor of the defendant, defendant’s words and the lawyer’s reasons, demonstrating the most shocking details of the crime, providing abundant quotations...

This article considers the features of modern youth slang that are viewed as the factors creating a challenge for translation. The focus is made upon the units of modern German youth slang. The research is aimed to identify the difficulties encountered in the oral and written translation of youth slangisms, as well as to determine possible ways of translation to overcome these difficulties. To prove the necessity of this study, as well as to specify the problems that translators face while working with German slangisms, a survey was conducted among international students studying translation as their major. As a result, 5 groups of problems were identified, their detailed analysis was performed, namely: a challenge to combine expressive and emotional components with meaning, untranslatability, quickly modifiable vocabulary of slang and the impossibility of fixing it all in special slang dictionaries, polysemy, differences in the areas of use of slang in different languages and censorship...
THE EFFECT OF NEGATION ON MOOD CHOICE IN SPANISH OBJECT CLAUSES
Authors:   Aleksandra I. Makarova Russian State University of Tourism and Service, Makarova Aleksandra I.
Published: January 2021

The problem of the negation influence on the choice of mood has not received enough attention in Spanish studies. An overview of theoretical works in the field of generative grammar where researchers touch upon the issues of verb semantics, pragmatic nature of the sentence, the use of elements of negative polarity, the aspects of the theory of negation shift brings to the impossibility to consider this problem exclusively within the framework of structural analysis. Most problems raised within the framework of generative research remain unresolved and require further research. The analysis of the material enabled to draw several conclusions. First, negation syntactic shift does not impact the mood choice; being pragmatically determined, it introduces additional connotations into the original sentence. Second, the phenomenon of grammatical negation shift can not be explained by the term of negative polarity and is independent of their use. Pronomination phenomenon is not a factor influencing the choice of the mood, since there is a possibility of using both the subjunctive and the indicative mood within the same sentence in terms of its syntax and lexical composition (excluding the subordinate clause, which is replaced by a pronoun)...
Development of geo-information technique and experimental studies on cross-calibration of Kanopus-V spacecraft series’ RSE sensors

Published: January 2021

Cross-calibration of the Earth’s remote sensing payload is an addition to the traditionally used flight calibration. It consists of homogeneous terrain regions` image acquiring with a calibrated and reference apparatus and comparing the measured values of the spectral radiance. When selecting references for cross-calibration, the main requirements are the proximity of the spatial resolution and spectral channels of the satellite payload, as well as the observation conditions. Remote sensing spacecrafts Sentinel-2A / 2B and Landsat 8 were selected asreferences. An algorithm was developed to search for intersections of Earth remote sensing satellites ground tracks, which enables finding the parts of the Earth’s surface observed from satellites involved in calibration at a time difference not exceeding 30 minutes. Prediction of satellite paths is carried out using the analytical propagation model SGP4, and two-line element sets of orbital parameters (TLE) taken from open sources. Using the obtained intersection points of propagated ground tracks, the Kanopus-V grouping survey was planned and the corresponding materials by foreign systems were obtained. Basing on them, spectral radiance values obtained by calibrating satellites were compared showing the result of less than 10 % discrepancy.
Business Process Models in the Context of Predictive Process Monitoring
Authors: Spree Florian
Published: January 2021

Predictive process monitoring is a subject of growing interest in academic research. As a result, an increased number of papers on this topic have been published. Due to the high complexity in this research area a wide range of different experimental setups and methods have been applied which makes it very difficult to reliably compare research results. This paper's objective is to investigate how business process models and their characteristics are used during experimental setups and how they can contribute to academic research. First, a literature review is conducted to analyze and discuss the awareness of business process models in experimental setups. Secondly, the paper discusses identified research problems and proposes the concept of a web-based business process model metric suite and the idea of ranked metrics. Through a metric suite researchers and practitioners can automatically evaluate business process model characteristics in their future work. Further, a contextualization of metrics by introducing a ranking of characteristics can potentially indicate how the outcome of experimental setups will be. Hence, the paper's work demonstrates the importance of business process models and their characteristics in the context of predictive process monitoring and proposes the concept of a tool approach and ranking to reliably evaluate business process models characteristics.
‘‘Dieta para emagrecer o preconceito’’: Discursos contra gordofobia no YouTube
Authors: Penas Evelyn Cristina de Sousa , Germano Idilva Maria Pires
Published: January 2021

Este artigo analisa os discursos contra a gordofobia veiculados em três vídeos brasileiros publicados no YouTube em 2018 com grande visualização. O objetivo éexplorar como plataformas digitais tais como YouTube podem dar visibilidade a discursos contra-hegemônicos acerca dos corpos gordos, colaborando na disseminação de informações e estratégias de mobilização e combate às formas de discriminação e preconceito. Os vídeos foram submetidos à análise temática e discutidos à luz de uma literatura crítica sobre a produção da identidade e diferença.A análise identificatrês temas principais: “gordura como falha física e moral”, “normatização do corpo e discriminação contra gordos” e “afirmação da identidade gorda, autoestima e autoaceitação”. As situações apresentadas nos vídeos criticam os processos rotineiros de exclusão dos indivíduos gordos. Concluímos que os vídeos analisados, mediante paródia, ironia e uso de câmera oculta, ajudam a circular narrativas alternativas que suspendem certas verdades naturalizadas sobre os gordos e seus corpos.
Furando os bolsos da psicologia social: experimentações transgressoras na docência
Authors: De Marchi Pereira de Souza Alice , Shamash Szuchman Karine
Published: January 2021

Este artigo surge do convite a uma de suas autoras para o evento “Temas em Debate” de 2019, no qual vicejava a interrogação “O que o presente tem a contribuir para uma determinada psicologia social?”. Tal acontecimento encontra outro, em andamento: três professoras trocavam ideias sobre suas práticas docentes em universidades públicas e se deparavam com a mesma questão. A experiência de uma sala de aula mais diversa e multicultural a partir das políticas afirmativas é tomada como campo de análise que movimenta nossa docência em psicologia social e impulsiona esta escrita. Diários de campo e correspondências constituem nossas ferramentas metodológicas. Através de processos de formação e experimentação que apostam na educação como prática de liberdade, almejamos discutir possíveis ampliações e transgressões - tanto das práticas docentes em sala de aula quanto da própria psicologia social transmitida, fazendo jus ao caráter disruptivo, inventivo e conectivo do paradigma ético-estético-político do qual partilhamos.

Entropy based distance cutoff for protein internal contact networks
Authors: Sobieraj Marcin , Setny Piotr
Published: January 2021

Protein structure networks (PSNs) have long been used to provide a
coarse yet meaningful representation of protein structure, dynamics, and
internal communication pathways. An important question is what criteria
should be applied to construct the network so that to include relevant
interresidue contacts while avoiding unnecessary connections. To address
this issue we systematically considered varying residue distance cutoff
length and the probability threshold for contact formation to construct
PSNs based on atomistic molecular dynamics in order to assess the amount
of mutual information within the resulting representations. We found
that the minimum in mutual information is universally achieved at the
cutoff length of 5 Å, irrespective of the applied contact formation
probability threshold in all considered, distinct proteins. Assuming
that the optimal PSNs should be characterised by the least amount of
redundancy, which corresponds to the minimum in mutual information, this
finding suggests an objective criterion for cutoff distance and supports
the existing preference towards its customary selection around 5 Å
length, typically based to date on heuristic criteria.
Structural Insights into the Catalytic Mechanism of Granzyme B upon Substrate and Inhibitor Binding
Authors: Tripathi Neha , Danger Richard , Chesneau Mélanie , Brouard Sophie , Laurent Adèle
Published: January 2021

Human granzyme B (hGzmB), which is present in various immune cells, has
attracted much attention due to its role in various pathophysiological
conditions. The hGzmB activity is triggered at a catalytic triad (His59,
Asp103, Ser198), cleaving its specific substrates. To date, the drug
design strategy against hGzmB mainly targets the catalytic triad, which
causes the non-specificity problem of inhibitors due to the highly
conserved active site in serine proteases. In the present work,
microsecond classical molecular dynamics simulations are devoted to
exploring the structural dynamics of the hGzmB catalytic cycle in the
presence of Ac-IEPD-AMC, a known substrate (active hGzmB), and
Ac-IEPD-CHO, a known inhibitor (inactive hGzmB). By comparing active and
inactive forms of hGzmB in the six different stages of the hGzmB
catalytic cycle, we revealed, for the very first time, an additional
network of interactions involving Arg216, a residue located outside the
conventional binding site. Upon activation, the His59∙∙∙Asp103 hydrogen
bond is broken due to the formation of the Asp103∙∙∙Arg216 salt bridge,
expanding the active site to facilitate the substrate-binding. On the
contrary, the binding of inhibitor Ac-IEPD-CHO to hGzmB prevents the
Arg216-mediated interactions within the catalytic triad, thus preventing
hGzmB activity. In silico Arg216Ala mutation confirms the role of Arg216
in enzyme activity, as the substrate Ac-IEPD-AMC failed to bind to the
mutated hGzmB. Importantly, as Arg216 is not conserved amongst the
various granzymes, the current findings can be a major step to guide the
design of hGzmB specific therapeutics.

Authors: Ziki Maen Abou , Bhat Neha , Neogi Arpita , Abboud Johny , Chouairi Salah , Driscoll Tristan , Ugwu Nelson , Liu Ya , Smith Emily , Schwartz Martin , Akar Joseph , Mani Arya
Published: January 2021

Background: The genetic causes of atrial fibrillation (AF) with slow
conduction are unknown. Methods: Eight kindreds with familial AF and
slow conduction, including a family affected by early onset AF, heart
block and incompletely penetrant non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM)
underwent whole exome sequencing. Results: A known pathogenic mutation
in the desmin (DES) gene resulting in S13F substitution at a PKC
phosphorylation site was identified in all four members of the kindred
with early-onset AF and heart block, while only two developed NICM.
Higher penetrance of the mutation for AF and heart block prompted the
screening for DES modifier(s). A second deleterious mutation in
the phosphodiesterase 4D interacting-protein (PDE4DIP) gene
resulting in A123T substitution segregated with early onset AF, heart
block and the DES mutation. Three additional novel deleterious
PDE4DIP mutations were identified in four other unrelated
kindreds. Characterization of PDE4DIP in vitro
suggested impaired compartmentalization of PKA and PDE4D characterized
by reduced colocalization with PDE4D, increased cAMP activation leading
to higher PKA phosphorylation of the β2-adrenergic-receptor, and
decreased PKA phosphorylation of Desmin in response to isoproterenol
stimulation compared to wildtype PDE4DIP. Conclusion: Our findings
identify an epistatic interaction between DES and PDE4DIP
variants, increasing the penetrance for conduction disease and
arrhythmia.
Vladimir R. Djordjevic’s contribution to Serbian musical folkloristics
Authors: Radinovic Sanja , Golemovic Dimitrije
Published: January 2021

Vladimir R. Djordjevic (1869?1938), one of the pioneers of Serbian
ethnomusicology, achieved outstanding results in various fields; his work is
based on Serbian musical folklore. Several dozen of his publications belong
to the domain of ethnomusicology, as well as music pedagogy and
popularization of folk music. However, for decades, their often very similar
titles, as well as numerous repeated and sometimes revised editions, have
discouraged researchers from acquiring a clear idea of his overall
music-folkloristic contribution. The primary goal of this paper is to create
a precondition for a more objective evaluation of Djordjevic?s work, in the
context of the time to which he belonged.
Vladimir R. Djordjevic’s contribution to the development of ethnoorganology
Authors: Zakic Mirjana
Published: January 2021

In the versatile musical activity of Vladimir R. Djordjevic at the turn of the
20 century, his research work on collecting primarily traditional Serbian
melodies, the smaller portion of which refers to instrumental music
expression, is of particular interest. Beside this, his pioneering effort in
the research of the folk instrumentarium, which in the overall
methodological concept had no role models in the work of earlier and
contemporary folklorists, yielded significant results in the area of
ethnoorganography and organophony, collecting folklore material and
melographic work, applied research methods (direct ? in the field, and
indirect ? through surveys), as well as unique museological activity. Such
overall contributions qualify him as our most important enthusiast in the
area of ethnoorganology prior to the second half of the 20th century.
“Perverting the Taste of the People”: Lăutari and the Balkan Question in Romania
Authors: Lawford Roderick
Published: January 2021

??Perverting the Taste of the People?: L?utari and the Balkan Question in
Romania? considers the term ?Balkan? in the context of Romanian Romani
music-making. The expression can be used pejoratively to describe something
?bar-baric? or fractured. In the ?world music? era, ?gypsy-inspired? music
from the Balkans has become highly regarded. From this perspective ?Balkan?
is seen as something desirable. The article uses the case of the Romanian
?gypsy? band Taraf de Ha?douks in illustration. Romania?s cultural and
physical position with- in Europe can be difficult to locate, a discourse
reflected in Romanian society itself, where many reject the description of
Romania as a ?Balkan? country. This conflict has been contested through
manele, a Romanian popular musical genre. In contrast, manele is seen by its
detractors as too ?eastern? in character, an unwelcome reminder of earlier
Balkan and Ottoman influences on Romanian culture.

The treatments tested were combination between supernatant or suspension of P. fluorescens P60 and application time, i.e., 5 days before planting, in the same time with planting, and 5 days after planting. Variables observed were phenolic compound (tannin, saponin, and glycoside), disease intensity, infection rate, late pathogen and antagonist population density, crop height, stem diameter, fresh and dry weight of roots, and fresh weight of fruit. The result showed that the application of P. fluorescens P60 either in supernatant or suspension form, could increase phenolic compound in the crop tissue, decrease the Fusarium wilt intensity on tomato as 66.00-77.88%, suppress infection rate as 73.18-79.09%, decrease late F. oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici density as 35.71%, increase the antagonist as 10 fold, increase crop height as 26.50%, improve root dry weight as 55.69%, and increase fruit weight crop-1 as 59.79%. Mechanisms of the antagonist P. fluorescens P60 in order to control the disease in the field were induced resistance, antibiosis, and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria.

The corelations between White Rot (Rigidoporus lignosus L.) incidence and  soil characters of rubber ecosystem in Penumangan Baru, Lampung. A study was conducted to evaluate the corelation between soil characters and white rot incidence. The study was done in Penumangan Lampung from June 2007 to July 2008. Seven sites were observed on the incidence of white rot of indicator plants (cassava). Physical, chemical, and biological soil characters were correlated and regressed with white rot incidence. The results showed that there were correlation between white rot incidence and soil characters such as pH KCl, number of fungal genus (fungal diversity), Ca+, total cation, CEC, and saturation base. Ion Ca+, total cation, saturation base correlated positively with white rot incidence, on the contrary, fungal diversity, cation exchange capacity, and pH KCl correlated negatively with white rot incidence. Thus, efforts to increase fungal diversity, cation exchange capacity, and pH (in acidic soil) could be used as basic strategies to develope intergrated  control of white rot disease.

Role of toxin produced by Botryodiplodia theobromae causes Diplodia Bark Diseases on some citrus.  The purpose of the research was to study the role of toxin produced by Botryodiplodia theobromae causes diplodia bark diseases on some citrus. Research was conducted from March through November 2007.  The experiment was done at the laboratory and at a glass house of the Department of Plant Pests and Diseases of the Faculty of Agriculture and the laboratory of the Faculty of Science and Mathematics Lambung Mangkurat University in Banjarbaru.  For a leaf-necrosis bioassay of crude toxin production, the surfaces of the leaves were scratched near the center with a needle, and culture filtrate samples (50 µl) were placed on each wounded site.  Treated leaves were incubated in a moist chamber with light at 26oC for 4 days, and toxin activity was determined by induction of veinal necrosis on the seven susceptible cultivar of citrus.  The results of the experiment showed that the B. theobromae pathogens produced the toxin. The crude toxin was bioassayed for leaf necrosis to determine their ability to produce toxin.  Culture filtrates of the isolate were highly toxic only on five susceptible citrus leaves siam Banjar citrus, sweet orange, lime, kaffir lime, and sour lime,  indicating that the B. theobromae can produced toxin.  Pathogenicity and toxin production of B. theobromae did not differ among different cultivar.  While, no necrotic symptom produces on the pummelo and sunkist.  Toxin production of B. theobromae  produced during spore germination.

Numeration is a basic ability part of the minimum competency assessment (MCA) that is important in understanding current global information patterns. The main purpose of this study was to determine differences in the numerical competence of students in terms of gender and various difficulties. The case study research was carried out on 91 students of Al Munawwariyyah Vocational School, Kab. Malang. The t test results showed that there were no differences in the numerical ability of boy and girl students. Some difficulties experienced by students in solving numerical problems include comparing two data from diagrams 54.9%, analyzing table data 61.6%, evaluating values on questions based on the table reference 63.8%, and comparing two graphs with the same function 39.6%. It is recommended to do more mature debriefing for students to prepare for the actual numeracy test in the coming year.
Riverine Complexity: Islandness, socio-spatial perceptions and modification—a case study of the lower Richmond River (Eastern Australia)
Authors: Fleury Christian , Hayward Philip
Published: January 2021

In its initial incarnation, island studies regarded islands as highly distinct entities that justified a relatively closed discipline. This orientation was first widened by address to issues such as the linkage of (pre-existent) islands to adjacent areas and, over the last decade, has been further modified by consideration of island-like areas. The latter has led to an increasing acknowledgement that, in some contexts, at least, islands form components of complex aquatic and terrestrial systems in which islandness is a less distinctive attribute than in the case of archetypal (usually marine) islands. While neglected by island studies, river systems that include islands, peninsulas and/or engineered waterfront developments are significant for problematising the distinctiveness of islands and thereby merit attention. This article sets out to map some of the complexities around islands and rivers with specific regard to the Richmond River in northern New South Wales, Australia. We profile this river since its lower reaches feature a range of natural and artificial island and island-like features, including the engineered area known as Ballina Island. We develop our study with regard to both Indigenous perceptions of the riverine space and disruptions, interventions and innovations resulting from European settlement in the region. As such, the article attempts to progress island studies’ research on riverine environments, to problematise the notion of discrete islands/islandness in such contexts and to prompt greater disciplinary reflection on the issues arising from such scrutiny.
The impeded archipelago of Corsica and Sardinia
Authors: Farinelli Marcel A.
Published: January 2021

Sardinia (Italy) and Corsica (France) are two islands divided by a strait that is 13 km wide. Their inhabitants have had commercial and cultural links at least since the Bronze Age, facing similar historical processes such as colonization from mainland powers during Middle Ages and a problematic assimilation within the nation-states to which the islands are nowadays associated. Nevertheless, they are generally perceived and analyzed as separate and distant islands. This is a consequence of the geopolitical context of the last three centuries, during which Corsica and Sardinia have become part of two separate states marked by a troubled relationship. This study has two main purposes: explaining the case of the two islands through a historical analysis of the island-to-island relationship between the 17th and 21st Centuries and proposing the concept of ‘impeded archipelago’ to describe analogous situations.
255 Island tourism carrying capacity in the UNESCO Site Laurisilva of Madeira
Authors: Mota Luís , Franco Mara , Santos Rossana
Published: January 2021

The Laurisilva of Madeira is an important natural resource as well as a location for nature-based tourism and recreational activities. Despite UNESCO’s concerns and recommendations for assessing tourism capacity, the local population is perceived as overusing this resource; yet precisely how many tourists visit its most popular areas remains unknown. Tourism carrying capacity (TCC) was assessed on two Rabaçal trails using a specific formulation relating physical aspects to environmental correction factors. Tourism carrying capacity was found to be below theoretical limits, and trail access was not restricted despite being a major concern in natural resource management.
afetividade na prática docente
Authors: Monteiro Luana
Published: January 2021

No presente artigo objetivamos um diálogo sobre a relação entre a afetividade e a prática docente. Como base metodológica, realizamos uma investigação de cunho bibliográfico a respeito do tema. A afetividade vem sendo explorada como objeto de estudo em diferentes áreas, como na filosofia, psicologia e na área educacional. Está imersa na prática docente mediadora, compreendida como um trabalho de interações humanas e pautada no ensino e aprendizagem que não compreende um caráter meramente cognitivo, racional. Dessa forma acreditamos que a afetividade requer ser reconhecida nos espaços escolares como elemento central da prática pedagógica, imbuída de interações humanas, na relação com o outro, estando o elemento afetivo compreendido muito além do abraço e do carinho.
