Authors: Wildan T. , Muhajir
Published: December 2021

This research learns the level of Tastafi's recitation activities on changes in psycho-religious aspects of Langsa City community. The objective determines the community's motivation to participate in Tastafi's recitation activities and their impacts on development and changes in their psycho-religious aspects. The methodology combines between qualitative and quantitative approaches. The qualitative approach uses theory of religiously psychological, monistic and faculty. As for the quantitative approach use percentage theory and Pearson's product-moment. Data collection uses questionnaires, observations, and documentation techniques. The research subjects were 30 Langsa City residents as members of the Tastafi recitation. It was found that there was a significant change from the psycho-religious aspect. The Tastafi arrival changes the Langsa City people's behavior, such as increasing worship activities, religious spirit, knowledge practice, and spiritual values in daily life. The routine level in these Tastafi recitation activities is very high, up to 50% (15 people). Furthermore, the change in psycho-religious aspects after attending the recitation is 60% (18 people). The Pearson's product-moment calculation prove that the significance and correlation are positive (perfect) with a rxy value of 0.798.

Typefaces Are All Almost the Same. Non-systematic Review of Scientific Findings on the Impact of Typographic Features on Reading Performance
Authors: Perondi Luciano
Published: December 2021

"The interest in discovering the limits of legibility has not ceased to interest those who use letters in typography and, to a certain extent, those who study the reading process.
Sometimes the debate on the subject is marred by sensationalism.
The research does not aim to identify a particular typeface and to promote it as “best for legibility”. The research aims to identify what are the possible reasons that make one typeface better than another and to make this knowledge available to the community, so that the typefaces can guarantee better reading performance, if this is possible."
Interactive Vision: How Active Perceivers Sample Information Over Time
Authors: Melcher David
Published: December 2021

Human-object and human-computer interactions take place over time, during which we take in sensory information, make predictions about the impact of our actions based on our goals, and then integrate the new sensory information in order to update our internal models and guide new actions. Here, I focus on two key aspects of interaction that unfold over time: (1) active vision using eye and body movements and (2) temporal windows and rhythms. Recent scientific research provides new insights into how we integration sensory input over time and how information processing speed varies over time and between individuals. Understanding these temporal parameters of how we perceive and act, and tailoring the experience to match individual differences in temporal processing, may dramatically improve the design of efficient and usable objects and interfaces. Failing to take these temporal factors into account can lead to the user being overwhelmed or confused, or failing to notice important information. These issues are illustrated with the example of the challenge of adapting automatic driver assistance technologies to older drivers.
LA PRESUNTA “NEUTRALITÀ” DEL DIRITTO TRASNAZIONALE DELLO SPORT
Authors: Melica Luigi
Published: December 2021

Sport has reached an economic and social dimension that has led top sports institutions, led by the IOC, to equip themselves with tools to preserve its autonomy. The Olympic Charter aims to achieve this goal through the principle of “political neutrality”, according to which sports leaders often avoid taking a position on thorny “political” issues, which come to concern the protection of the athletes’ fundamental rights, although the same rights appear at least underlying the Charter itself. This work, through a comparative survey that also reflects on the transnational sports law, aims to shed light on the possible contradiction of sports institutions, who struggle to combine the role of sport as a promoter of fundamental rights and social inclusion with the purely sporting (and economic) dimension of the same, which they try to keep away from political conditioning.

Reading Nineteenth-Century Persian Histories from the Caucasus
Authors: Karamustafa Ali
Published: December 2021

This essay examines six Persian-language historical works that were produced in the Caucasus during the nineteenth century. These works have conventionally gone unnoticed due to the language of composition and the predominant approach to the region as a Russian imperial province. Interestingly, these texts bear the mark of the Afsharid period, and demonstrate a marked interest in the figure of Nader Shah. They demonstrate that the Safavid collapse and the subsequent developments of the eighteenth century had an important impact on conceptions of political legitimacy in the Caucasus. They also suggest that the birth of new local Persianate historiographical traditions in the region should not only be viewed through the lens of Russian imperial modernity and instead be better situated in their local and historical context.
“Across the Main Caucasus Ridge”. The Caucasus Writings of George Kennan
Authors: Tskhvediani Irakli
Published: December 2021

In 1870, George Kennan, a pioneering explorer, writer, and lecturer on Russia in the nineteenth century, became the first American to cross the Caucasus from the Caspian Sea to the Black Sea and explore the highlands of Dagestan, a remote Muslim region west of Chechnya, only a decade after Russia violently absorbed the region into its empire. He kept detailed journals of his adventures, creating a vivid narrative of his six-month odyssey. This trip in 1870 is the subject of this paper, focusing on the account of Kennan’s Caucasus journey that chronicles his expedition from Dagestan to Georgia over the Main Caucasus Ridge.
Spigolature stesicoree II
Osservazioni critico-esegetiche su alcuni frammenti
Authors: Cipolla Paolo
Published: December 2021

The paper concerns some textual and exegetical problems in Stesichorean fragments. In fr. 1 ἔν τινι πέτρᾳ, ὡς is to be read for transmitted ἔν τινι πετραίῳ; the phrase probably refers to Amycus’ punishment, who according to some textual and iconographic sources was bound by Pollux to a tree or rock; in fr. 2a Ποδάργη means ‘swift-footed’ rather than ‘white-footed’, as shown by comparison with the proper nouns Ὠκυπόδη and Ἀελλόπους. In fr. 85 κούραις should be preferred to κόραις/κόρας, because it is closer to epic diction; in fr. 89 the silver-like basin implies a hospitality scene, but probably in a humble social context. In fr. 100.7 χρυσ[ολύρα, even if the feminine of the adjective is never used elsewhere, may be a suitable supplement; at v. 9 καλλιρόου (Σιμόεντος) is better than καλλιρόους (δίνας). At fr. inc. 270a one might restore τε]ύ̣-/ χεσι λαμπομέν[α τό]θ’. Finally, at fr. inc. 303a πυλαμάχε transmitted by Athenaeus may be right and seems to be echoed in the hapax θυραμάχος found in Pratinas.
Drawing Imperial Lines: Sovereignty and Tacitus’ Germanicus
Authors: Alston Richard
Published: December 2021

This essay focuses on Germanicus’ performance of sovereign power in Tacitus’Annales1-2. That power is seen in the differentiation of citizen from non-citizen and Roman territory from non-Roman territory. Roman violence in Germany contrasts with Germanicus in the East. There he recognised a shared history and community. Sovereign power required a recognition of the sovereign by the citizen and of the citizen by the sovereign. An individual’s membership and a territory’s place within the Roman Empire depended not on innate characteristics but political negotiation. Ancient political geographies gave primacy to the political rather than the territorial in determining citizenship.
Ipermetafisica neoplatonica
Giamblico come precursore dell'ineffabile principio al di sopra dell’uno del De principiis di Damascio
Authors: Ottobrini Tiziano
Published: December 2021

The essay aims at pointing out the origins of Damascius’ ineffable principle. In Damascius’ De principiis the first principle is totally unknowable, since it is beyond One; this radical thesis is not similar to the speculation from Proclus to Plotinus but it has a close relationship only to Iamblichus, more than two centuries before Damascius. It will be argued that placing a principle beyond One was risky, because it rejects the henologic paradigm, traditional in the Neoplatonic system. Therefore Iamblichus did not fully develop his proposal and was resumed only by Damascus in his theoretical radicalism. As a result the passages in which Iamblichus spoke of an ineffable principle superior to One are preserved only by Damascius and are almost unknown to all the authors in the middle.
Running In (and Out) the Family
Postcolonial Family Novels in Perspective
Authors: Mari Lorenzo
Published: December 2021

The genre of the family novel can be identified in many postcolonial literary cultures. Initially, it was often read as an example of “national allegory” (Jameson 1986), thus considering family narrative in a tight relationship with postcolonial nation-building, but this theoretical framework has been later criticised from different perspectives, ranging from post-national to feminist critiques. Furthermore, the genre of the postcolonial family novel has been refashioned due to the emergence of diasporic narratives, leading to the diffusion of the “postcolonial fictions of adoption” (McLeod 2006). Nowadays, the high competition in the global literary market – namely, with family novels and sagas in the US literary market – drives this genre towards highly individualised, as well as hybridised, outcomes. While focusing, in particular, on The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz and Lara ([1997] 2009) by Bernardine Evaristo, this survey of family novels across different literary traditions aims to show the intrinsic porosity, as well as the strenuous resistance, of the genre.
Imaginations and Speculative Writings: Reinvesting Post-Colonial Possibilities and Subjectivities in Kaie Kellough’s Dominoes at the Crossroads
Authors: Sbih Miriam
Published: December 2021

Recent studies on speculative literature emphasise the narrative presence of postcolonial thinking that proliferates within the genre. It is the case in the collection Dominoes at the Crossroads (2020) by the African Canadian writer Kaie Kellough, which attempts to re-imagine and tell the story of the black diaspora in Montreal, other than under a colonial spectrum. The short stories use a variety of speculative strategies: whether it is reinvesting a marginalised figure of a classic Quebecois novel or imagining the setting of Montreal’s future in which marginalised populations own a majority of the properties. The analysis of these stories will allow us to show how speculative literature is fertile ground for postcolonial potentialities, by allowing us to project elsewhere. Since speculative literature is a broad genre whose definition is not circumscribed, we will see how reflecting on the alternative postcolonial imaginings through such narrative allows for a rewriting that makes it possible to go beyond the colonial paradigms.
Caryl Phillips’s Rewriting of the Canonical Romance as a Genre
Authors: Polatti Alessia
Published: December 2021

The paper considers Phillips’s rewriting of the canonical nineteenth-century romances in three of his novels – A State of Independence (1986), The Lost Child (2015), and A View of the Empire at Sunset (2018). The three texts resettle the romance genre through the postcolonial concept of ‘home’. In A State of Independence, Phillips rearranges the role of one of Jane Austen’s most orthodox characters, the landowner Sir Thomas Bertram of Mansfield Park (1814), by transposing the Austenian character’s features to his protagonist Bertram Francis, a Caribbean man who comes back to his ancestral homeland after twenty years in Britain. In The Lost Child, chronicling literary-historical events in the present tense by transferring the life of the Brontë family into the protagonists of Wuthering Heights (1847) is for the author one way of calling into question the real sense of literature. It is for this reason that Phillips constructs a cyclic narration around the figure of Branwell Brontë, fictionalised by his sister Emily in the romance protagonist Heathcliff, and mirrored in The Lost Child in the character of Tommy Wilson. In A View of the Empire at Sunset, Phillips definitely overturns the colonial and genre categories by reassessing the in-between life of the Dominican-born writer Jean Rhys through her personal return journey to Dominica: as a result, the author of Wide Sargasso Sea (1966) (an intense rewriting of Jane Eyre) becomes a fictional character, and the literary events of her life sum up the vicissitudes both of the two ‘Bertrams’ – of Mansfield Park and A State of Independence – and the protagonists of Wuthering Heights and The Lost Child.

The Effectiveness of Vocabulary Self-Collection Strategy On Students’ Reading And Vocabulary Achievement: A Quasi-Experimental Research
Authors: Febrisera Lazarus , Sugirin
Published: December 2021

Reading skill and vocabulary mastery become very pivotal for the ESL students to understand the English language-used properly. That condition should be achieved with the right ways; and one of which is using the VSS. Therefore, this study aims at investigating the effectiveness of Vocabulary Self-collection Strategy (henceforth VSS) on students’ reading and the achievement of vocabulary. The quasi-experimental research was applied and the instruments were pretest-posttest. The VSS was used as the independent variable in this study while reading skill and vocabulary mastery were used as the dependent variables. The pretest-posttest was assigned to gather the data. Then, the test related to reading skill and vocabulary mastery were validated via the expert judgment and a validity of content. Additionally, the instruments regarding its reliability was measured by using the reliability of inter-rater. Afterwards, the parametric statistical technique of T-Test and MANOVA test using SPSS 22. Computer program was employed to analyze the data. The findings showed that VSS reveal a significant effect toward students’ reading skill and vocabulary mastery. This means that the students get easy to understand the English texts given. It is due to their prior knowledge of vocabulary they have too. This study also proves that the use of VSS can be one of the ways of other strategies to teach the reading and vocabulary in the ESL context.

Authors: Marlin  , Saehu Andang , Yundayani Audi
Published: December 2021

The pandemic situation shifted the learning process from offline to online. It challenges the students in English learning, especially in learning their speaking ability. However, the students manipulated the strategies by utilizing online platforms or mobile phone applications accordingly to their learning experience. This study investigates students' language learning strategies and how the strategy is applied in learning speaking ability. The case study was carried out in a senior high school. The respondents 64 were chosen purposively to be involved in this study. The instruments of data collection were conducted by questionnaire and interview under Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL). The results showed that 63 (95%) of students used metacognitive strategies in the form of centering learning process, arranging, and planning learning strategies. Moreover, 61 or 91% of students applied practicing, receiving, and sending messages of group cognitive strategies to motivate them to practice their speaking ability during online learning. Furthermore, less than 80% applied social, memory, affective, and compensation. It recommended that the teacher be a facilitator by providing a good stimulus for the students to motivate themselves to be self-regulated.
English – Majored Students’ Perceptions on Teachers’ Use Of Vietnamese In EFL Classrooms
Authors: Yen Phuong Hoang , Danh Dang Thanh
Published: December 2021

Previous studies were conducted to discover the use of L1 in EFL classrooms, however, few studies investigated the students’ perception towards the teachers’ use of L1 in EFL classrooms, especially those for English – majored students. The present study was conducted to examine English – majored students’ perceptions towards their teachers’ use of mother tongue as Vietnamese in EFL classrooms in a university in Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The research was designed as a descriptive study with the mixed method using questionnaire and interview as the research instruments. There were 131 participants in this research. The findings of the study revealed that students preferred teachers’ use of mother tongue in the specialized classes (linguistics course, literal courses, and interpretation and translation courses, etc.), grammar courses, and some activities such as explaining incomprehensible words. However, they wished to have more English instruction in language skills classes to enhance their target language proficiency. Several disadvantages of using Vietnamese were also mentioned, for instance, hindering learners’ language improvement, causing their laziness and passiveness. Suggestions are proposed to raise EFL teacher’s awareness on the extent of English and Vietnamese in their teaching to help leaners achieve objective of the class.
Assessing Elimination of Mouse Kidney Parvovirus from Cages by Mechanical Washing
Authors: Carlson Amanda L , Floyd Rebecca J , Ricart Arbona Rodolfo J , Henderson Kenneth S , Perkins Cheryl , Lipman Neil S
Published: December 2021

Mouse kidney parvovirus (MKPV), a newly identified parvovirus of the genus Chaphamaparvovirus, causes inclusion body nephropathy in severely immunocompromised mice and is prevalent in research mouse colonies. As nonenveloped viruses, mammalian parvoviruses are stable and generally
resist thermal inactivation; however, as a novel and highly divergent parvovirus, the thermal stability of MKPV is undefined. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of cage sanitization in a mechanical washer to eliminate MKPV. Cages contaminated by MKPV-infected mice were assigned to 1
of 3 treatment groups: 1) control (bedding change only); 2) sanitization in a tunnel washer (88°C final rinse for 20 s); or 3) sanitization in a tunnel washer followed by autoclave sterilization (121 °C for 20 min). The presence of MKPV on the cage's interior surface was assessed by
PCR of cage swab extracts collected before and after cage treatment. After treatment and swabbing, each cage housed 4 MKPV-negative CD1 mice. Each group of naive CD1 mice was assigned to one of the treatment groups and was housed in a cage from this group for two, 1 wk periods. At 12, 17,
and 20 wk after the first exposure, renal tissue was collected from 1 test mouse per cage and assessed for MKPV by PCR. MKPV was detected by PCR on the surface of 63% of the pretreatment cages. All cages sanitized in a tunnel washer with or without sterilization were PCR negative after treatment.
Seven of 10 mice housed in untreated cages contained a mouse positive for MKPV by 20 wk after exposure. None of the mice housed in cages sanitized in a tunnel washer with or without sterilization tested positive for MKPV at any time point. This study indicates that MKPV contaminated caging
can result in MKPV infection of mice, and the use of a tunnel washer at the temperature and duration evaluated was sufficient to remove MKPV nucleic acid and prevent MKPV transmission.

The present study aimed to debate a topic less addressed by most people, which involved research on a group of 20 students from rural areas, aged 10–14 years, which consists of performing two tests, namely the Ruler drop test and the Hand-eye coordination test, which aims at the reaction speed of the dominant and non-dominant hand and also the hand-eye coordination capacity of the subjects. The paper aimed to identify whether somatic factors and age influence the results of the group. In order to perform the two tests, it was necessary, for the beginning, information related to the study group, information on weight, age, height, dominant hand, respectively dominant eye. These represented the point of interest of the research, being reported individually to the test results, thus constituting the study basis of statistics. After obtaining the results, we concluded that a significant significance is encountered when comparing the dominant hand with the non-dominant one, obtaining a positive value for the dominant hand. At the same time, we interpreted after the research that females tend to have a much faster reaction speed, more significant than the males when it comes to using the non-dominant hand. The hypothesis was confirmed, with differences in somatic factors’ influence, but the others do not show significant values except those stated above. In addition to the practical part, the research involves an interesting theoretical foundation being reached aspects related to proprioception, coordination, speed, ways of using tests, and the opinion of other researchers who have conducted similar studies.

Published: December 2021

Sinizm kavramı, son yıllarda örgütsel değişim literatüründe de önemli bir değişken olarak incelenmeye başlanmış ve “değişim sinizmi” kavramı ortaya çıkmıştır. Değişim sinizmi, çalışanların geçmişteki başarısız değişim yaşantılarına dayalı olarak değişimi gerçekleştirecek olanlara inançlarını yitirmeleri, onları değişimi sağlama konusunda isteksiz ve yetersiz görmeleri, buna bağlı olarak gelecekte değişim girişimlerinin başarıyla sonuçlanacağına dair karamsar bir tutum takınmaları olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Özellikle örgütlerde değişime direnç ve başarısız değişim girişimlerini anlamada örgütsel değişim sinizminin önemli bir değişken olduğu belirtilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Wanous ve diğerlerinin (2000) “Örgütsel Değişim Sinizmi Ölçeği”nin Türkçeye uyarlanması ve eğitim çalışanlarında değişim sinizmini ölçmede geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin test edilmesidir. Araştırmaya, Türkiye’de çeşitli okullarda görev yapan toplam 595 öğretmen ve okul yöneticisi katılmıştır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliğini tespit etmek amacıyla Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, ölçeğin “karamsarlık” ve “yöneticiyi suçlama eğilimi” olmak üzere iki boyutlu yapıda daha iyi uyuma sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Uyarlanan ölçeğin 8 maddeden oluşan iki faktörlü formu için Cronbach’s Alpha iç tutarlılık katsayısı .94 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, Türkçeye uyarlanmış ölçeğin eğitim çalışanlarının değişim sinizmini değerlendirmede kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek olduğunu göstermektedir.
Breeding-oriented evaluation of the progeny of cv. ‘Papirovka tetraploidnaya’ in the Middle Urals
Authors: Telezhinskiy D. D. , Kotov L. A.
Published: December 2021

One of the most promising trends in apple breeding is polyploidy. Triploid cultivars show higher fruiting stability and increased self-fertility. The easiest way to obtain triploids is to cross diploid and tetraploid cultivars among themselves. The main limiting factor in this case is a restricted number of initial tetraploid forms whose characteristics affect the quality and prospects of the resulting hybrid progeny.

The staff of Sverdlovsk Horticultural Breeding Station in the Middle Urals produced and analyzed 5 hybrid families using cv. ‘Papirovka tetraploidnaya’ as the paternal source; the latter’s pollen was supplied by Acad. E. N. Sedov from the All-Russian Research Institute of Fruit Crop Breeding. Ninety hybrid seedlings were studied.

The study showed that ‘Papirovka tetraploidnaya’ with a high degree of probability conveyed the following traits to its progeny: large fruit size, fruit ripening in early summer, midsummer and autumn, loose or medium density of coarse fruit flesh, and nonoutstanding fruit taste (scoring 3.8–4.2 points).
Studying germplasm collection accessions of naked oats
Authors: Krotova N. V. , Batalova G. A.
Published: December 2021

Background. The breeding value of accessions from the VIR collection can be estimated only under specific climate and soil conditions. Studying such accessions helps to include them in the breeding process.

Materials and methods. Forty-two accessions of naked oats of various origin were studied at the FARC of the North-East. Biochemical analysis of grain and statistical data processing using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis techniques were carried out.

Results. The accessions were divided into groups according to their ripening schedule: early (up to 80 days), medium (81–84 days), and mid-late (85–89 days). High yielding genotypes were identified in each ripeness group. The plant height depended on the hydrothermal conditions of the growing season (r = 0.25). The studied accessions were all classified as undersized (64.0–99.1 cm), including the reference cv. ‘Vyatsky’ (88.1 cm). A significant contribution of some panicle productivity components to an increase in yield was observed. The protein and fat content in grain determines its nutritional and energy value. The results showed a positive relationship between yield and protein content (r = 0.44). A significant negative correlation between fat content and protein content (r = –0.61) was registered. The study of naked oat accessions showed different fat content in grain across the ripeness groups.

Conclusion. According to the results of the study, some accessions were identified as sources of traits useful for breeding. The following accessions were selected as the best according to a set of characters (yield, plant height, number of grains per panicle, panicle weight, protein and fat content in grain): early ‘Litovsij nagij’ (k-15234, Lithuania), ‘Gkzalon’ (k-15299, Mongolia) and ‘MF9224-164’ (k-15090, USA); medium k-15248 (local, Poland) and MF9521-281 (k-15095, USA); and mid-late ‘Bai Yan 2’ (k-15525, China), ‘Progress’ (k-15339, Russia), ‘Visit’ (k-15501, Ukraine) and ‘Mina’ (k-15192, Bulgaria).
Reproductive ability of black currant cultivars after pollen cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen
Authors: Tikhonova O. A. , Radchenko E. A. , Pavlov A. V.
Published: December 2021

Background.Studying the reproductive ability of black currant cultivars after long-term cryopreservation of their pollen in liquid nitrogen is very important for plant diversity conservation and for the effectiveness of breeding efforts.

Materials and methods.Five black currant cultivars served as the material for the research. The viability of black currant pollen after cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen was analyzed. Pollen viability was tested on an artificial medium containing 10% of sucrose and 0.8% of agar. The viability of pollen was tested on the black currant collection at Pushkin and Pavlovsk Laboratories of VIR. The cultivar ‘Andreevskaya’ (k-15630) was pollinated with pollen stored for one year in liquid nitrogen (–196°C) as well as with fresh pollen (control test).

Results and conclusion. After 12 months of conservation under ultralow temperatures there was a change in the level of pollen viability depending on the genotype: it varied from 10.4% (cv. ‘Pozdnyaya poslevoennaya’, k-7654) to 50.4% (cv. ‘Kriviai’, k-42517), while its mean value was 0.9% higher than the mean initial viability. The fruit setting rate in the control option was 81.3–94.2%. When pollinated with pollen kept in liquid nitrogen for one year, the fruit setting rate varied from 69.2% (‘Kacha’, k-44185) to 93.3% (‘Belorusochka’, k-41978); the remaining cultivars (‘Pozdnyaya poslevoennaya’; ‘Chereshneva’, k-42481; and ‘Kriviai’) demonstrated intermediate values of this indicator, i.e., the reproductive ability of pollen after cryopreservation was high even despite its low viability. As for the fruit weight, no differences were shown by cvs. ‘Kacha’, ‘Chereshneva’ and ‘Kriviai’ in both pollination options, while this indicator in cvs. ‘Belorusochka’ and ‘Pozdnyaya poslevoennaya’ was lower than the control by 0.31 and 0.24 g, respectively.
Stability of agronomic traits in interspecific hybrid potato clones in the Central Region of European Russia
Authors: Khlopyuk M. S. , Chalaya N. A. , Rogozina E. V.
Published: December 2021

Background. Yield stability is a necessary trait for sustainable potato production under climate change. Potato breeding is based on crosses between parental lines selected for a set of important traits: productivity, structural yield components, and resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Data on plant responses to environmental conditions allows breeders to conduct informed selection of plant forms for crossing. The objective of this work was to characterize interspecific potato hybrids in terms of their productivity, yield plasticity and stability in the Central Region of European Russia.

Materials and methods. For seven years (2014–2020), 19 hybrids and cv. ‘Favorit’ (reference) were assessed for productivity, number of tubers per plant, mean tuber weight, marketability, and resistance to late blight. Growing conditions were characterized using the hydrothermal coefficient. Environmental sustainability was determined by calculating the parameters of plasticity (bI) and stability (σ2) according to N. P. Sklyarova and V. A. Zharova.

Results. Positive and negative anomalies in heat or moisture supply were observed during the test years. The maximum productivity was obtained in 2016, with heavy rainfall and higher temperatures; the minimum, in the hot and dry 2018. For productivity, the effect sizes of the factors “variety” and “year” were 29% and 38%, respectively. Hybrids with yield levels close to cv. ‘Favorit’ were identified: 117-2, 122-29, 99-6-5, 99-1-3, 99-6-6, and 34-5-2003. ‘Favorit’ is an intensive-type cultivar, with low yield stability. Hybrid 135-2-2006, also of the intensive type, had a stable yield, but developed medium-sized tubers and was less productive than other accessions. Hybrid 117-2 is of the extensive type, with medium stability, while hybrids 8-3-2004 and 135-5-2005 demonstrated high environmental plasticity and yield stability.
Wars and Foreign Interventions in Greece in the 1820s
Authors: Papanikos Gregory T.
Published: December 2021

In Greece, the 1820s is a well-remembered decade. Many things happened which future Greek generations can study and learn. In the beginning of the decade (1821), some Greeks rebelled against the Ottomans, but, parallel with this War of Independence, they, as did so many times in their heroic past, started fighting between themselves (1823-1825). The Olympians intervened, as in Homer’s masterpieces, and “independence” came as a result of a direct foreign (divine) intervention by Britain (Poseidon), France (Athena) and Russia (Hera). This began first in the battlefields in 1827, and then at the negotiation table in 1832. This paper looks at the reasons of all of these three types of events (the Greek War of Independence, its civil wars and the foreign interventions), as well as their results. The reasons are traced by applying the rule: “follow the money.” Of course, the obvious result was the official creation of an “independent” Greek state. However, other concurrent events have had long-lasting effects on the Greek political and military developments, which lasted until the end of the third quarter of the 20th century. These developments are only briefly discussed in this paper.
Analysis and software implementation of the modified cryptographic Vernam cipher and the Caesar cipher
Authors: Fastovets Valentyna
Published: December 2021

Problem. Modern cryptography is a very important part of cybersecurity and confidentiality of many operations. It covers almost all parts of our lives, from e-commerce to specialized education of students. Goal. The advantage of symmetric key cryptography is that working with this method is very easy for users, as one key is used for encryption, as well as for decryption purposes, and this key must be secret and should be known only to the sender and recipient and no one else. On the other hand, public key cryptography has two keys. Unfortunately, this exposes the inherent security flaws, as the integrity of the encryption depends entirely on the password. It was decided to consider the implementation of a modified symmetric Vernam cipher that avoids these problems, and its modification and experimental studies should further strengthen data protection. Methodology. Higher mathematics, linear algebra are very important subjects. But if we want to encourage students with cryptography, we need to use all aspects of the IT cluster more effectively. Ideal for this is the implementation of algorithms and programs using programming languages. It is very important and useful for students studying Cybersecurity to illustrate where and how it is possible to create software implementations of encryption / decryption methods. Results. The article presents the analysis and implementation of the modified cryptographic Vernam cipher and Caesar cipher using a concept that combines modern programming languages and the principles of cryptography, which students study in subject-oriented specialties. Originality. An original approach to teaching Cybersecurity students by implementing ciphers using applied programming is described. Practical value. Using cryptography as a learning tool will help students develop their programming skills and effectively understand the concept of cybersecurity in real-world examples.
GIS-Based Land Suitability Classification for Wheat Cultivation Using Fuzzy Set Model
Authors: TUĞAÇ Murat Güven
Published: December 2021

In terms of food safety, it is important to use the lands correctly in agricultural production. In this study, potential crop suitability classes for wheat cultivation were created by using the fuzzy model and GIS together. Spatial and spectral factors considered as model inputs were separated four main groups, such as soil (drainage, depth, texture, CaCO3, stoniness, pH, organic matter, salinity, ESP), topography (slope), water availability (irrigation) and vegetation indices (NDVI). Criterion maps were standardized with the fuzzy membership model. Analytical Hierarchy Process was used to determine the weights of the factors. The vegetation change between years in the study area was determined by using NDVI values obtained from Landsat satellite images. In addition, the effect of temporal difference on land use and land suitability was evaluated. Land suitability index was created in GIS environment by weighted linear combination method and divided into four main suitability classes. The results with the Fuzzy method showed 9.7% (805 ha) of the study area as highly suitable for wheat, 46.5% (3868 ha) as medium suitable, 27.6% (2297 ha) as marginally suitable and 16.2% (1350 ha) as unsuitable. According to these classes, highly suitable and medium suitable classes are the areas that should be evaluated primarily in agricultural production. The Fuzzy model and GIS integration can be effectively used to identify priority areas for crop cultivation and sustainable land use management.

Published: December 2021

In this study, the relationships between the amount of damage and the phenology of the potato plant, and biological periods and the number of individuals of Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) were investigated. For the relationship between the different biological stages of the insect and the amount of damage, individuals were allowed to be fed for 24 hours. The most fed in biological period on the potato plant was the third larval stage of L. decemlineata while the least period was recorded as adult individuals. For the relationship between the phenological period of the plant and the amount of damage, potato plants with a length of about 20 and 40 cm were used. Adult individuals of L. decemlineata averaged 0.46 g in leafy branch pieces of a 20 cm potato plant, and 0.36 g on average in 20 cm leafy branch pieces from the tip of a 40 cm potato plant. It was determined that adult individuals of L. decemlineata feed more on leaves of young potato plant. For the relationship between the number of individuals and the amount of damage, experiments were set up with adults in groups of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively. While a single adult individual of L. decemlineata cause an average of 0.15 g feeding damage on the leafy branch parts of the potato plant, it was recorded as 0.13 g for two individuals, 0.24 g for three individuals, 0.21 g for four individuals, and 0.33 g for five individuals, respectively.
