DEVELOPMENT OF UNIMPROVED SCRUBLAND
Authors: Brown J.Bruce
Published: October 2021

This paper is not intended to deal in detail with .the methods of development of unimproved scrubland in North Auckland, that aspect will be covered in the field this afternoon. At this stage I propose to mention more particularly the background of North Auckland country-vegetative cover and tenure-the present activities of the Lands and Survey Department in classifying sill unimproved land, and the ,development of unimproved Crown land. Kirk writing in 1869 said' of Whangarei northward : "The general vegetation over the whole country is alternate bush, open scrubby land, and open fern land, there being very little natural grass land, the largest area being at the North Cape and even there the prevailing species are not indigenous to New Zealand. The whole country has been at no distant time covered by bush . . ."

A COMPARISON BETWEEN NEW ZEALAND AND IMPORTED STRAINS OF COCKSFOOT
Authors: Gorman L.W.
Published: October 2021

Recent importations of cocksfoot seed have led to discussions on the relative merits of the strains available for import -and both merchants and farmers have been inquiring for information on the expected, performance of the imported strains when sown in pasture mixtures in this country. Also the New Zealand. growers of cocksfoot seed are anxious to know in what way the imported strains resemble our New Zealand Certified types. Possibly the information to be given below will answer some of these questions.

COBALT DEFICIENCY DISEASE IN YOUNG SHEEP
Authors: Andrews E.D.
Published: October 2021

Since Australian workers demonstrated the essentiality of dietary cobalt some 20 years ago great progress has been made in the diagnosis and, control of a wasting disease of cattle and sheep now known to be due to a deficiency of cobalt in feed. In New Zealand the routine examination of animal livers for cobalt content has, with reservations to be discussed, proved a useful diagnostic aid. It has been shown that cobalt deficiency disease is usually assocliated with specific soil types low in cobalt, and so it has been possible to define cobalt deficient areas in broad outline (Fig. 1). Areas are defined in terms of cobalt available from the soil through the plant to the animal. The following criteria are used. Severe Deficiency: Prior to the advent of cobalt supplementation, sheep of all ages, and in places cattle, sickened and died. Mild to Moderate Deficiency: Mainly young sheep affected, but at times and in places mature sheep possibly unthrifty to a mild degree. Marginal or Suspected Deficiency: At times and in places young sheep may develop cobalt deficiency disease. Areas distinguished on the map are necessarily arbitrarily defined. For example land classified as mildly to moderately deficient will include areas where cobalt deficiency is at best only suspected; at present much of the land tentatively classified as marginally or suspected deficient is probably healthy.

From the farming point of view the high country of the South Island of New Zealand is generally taken to mean all the high native grassland devoted to the growing of wool and store stock and subject to risk of Slidui. This covers some 12 million acres of country with a great variety of topography, climate, and soils, Rainfalls range from 1%. in the arid regions of Otago to over 100in. in the heavy rainfall areas close to the main ranges, and soils and vegetation vary accordingly. The winter is long and the growing season short, a maximum of 6 months in most districts.

LIGHT LAND PASTURES
Authors: Iversen C.E. , Calder J.W.
Published: October 2021

Approximately 8 million acres of the Canterbury Plains are classified as light land. The soils are a shallow, stony loam overlying an open, shingle subsoil with a very low moisture holding capacity. The rainfall ,of 25in. is fairly well distributed, but on these soils is normally inadequate for pasture growth from November to March, due to high evaporation. Under these conditions the pasture mixtures used on moister soils are unsuitable. Subterranean clover has proved the most suitable pioneer legume for this class of land and is still the basic legume for most pasture mixtures.

Although the production of good pasture is a starting point, one end point is a prime, healthy animal. lems At Weybridge, we have many animal health probassociated wrth the grazing of apparently good pastures, and it is some of these problems that I propose to discuss this afternoon: Because some of these disorders are not associated with a deficiency of minerals in the herbage itself, it may be misleading to refer to them merely as "trace element" or "mineral deficiency" diseases, which usually implies a deficient intake of some essential dietary constituent rather than a dysfunction of the mineral metabolism of the animal.
SOME ASPECTS OF GERMINATION ANALYSIS
Authors: Lithgow A.V.
Published: October 2021

Of the three factors which indicate quality in seed-purity, germination, and strain-germination is the one most fully appreciated by those trading in or sowing seed. Before germination can take place conditions must be suitable. The conditions can best be described as being suitable when there are present the required amounts of water, warmth, and air, and, with certain seeds, light. In the laboratory suitable conditions for each species are provided and the resulting germination figures show the maximum germination possible under ideal conditions.
SOME FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE RATE OF GROWTH OF PASTURE
Authors: Brougham R.W.
Published: October 2021

It is becoming increasingly evident from work carried out by various groups of research workers throughout the world (Thomas and Hill, 1949; Blackman and Wilson, 195 I ; Donald, 195 1, 1956; Black, 1955; Watson, 1956) that the amount of light energy available to herbage and crop plants is a major controlling factor in plant growth. In a recent review article Black ( 1957) has stated, "It is clear from the evidence herein reviewed that the growth of pasture species, as of other plants, is markedly dependent on the light environment, and that the quantity of light energy available rather than the intensity appears to be the important factor. Apparently the greater the quantity of light energy available up to the highest values recorded in the field, the better the growth."

THE INFLUENCE OF TREADING ON PASTURE
Authors: Edmond D.
Published: October 2021

In 1858 H. S. Thompson, writing in the "Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society", quoted an ancient Persian proverb, "The sheep has a foot of gold, and turns to gold whatever it touches", and wrote that, although at first he agreed with the proverb, he rapidly became dissatisfied with it. In his experience-sustained heavy stocking with sheep caused pastures to deteriorate. In my opinion his impression was that the sheep's "foot of gold" was a complex influence with benefits accruing from returned dung and urine and penalties imposed by untimely defoliation which necessarily entailed treading. He believed that it was important to use young cattle on establishing pastures "until the turf is close and strong enough to bear the treading of heavy cattle." In 1873 he reaffirmed his opinions with an amendment that carefully managed sheep should be the first on pastures intended for cattle grazing. His opinions, in the main, agree very well with modern ideas. A local opinion has been that for vigorous growth of perennial ryegrass, plants must be continually pushed into the soil, which must be compressed around them. Accordingly, hoof cultivation has been of wide popularity; it is not uncommon to be told that a good pasture should be "blackened" once a year.
THE ECONOMICS OF SPRAY IRRIGATION

I can speak with any authority only of spray irrigation as applied to dairy farms in the Auckland Province, with some side references to results in other parts of New Zealand and in Australia; and I want to try to show that pasture irrigation in the Auckland Province as a general rule is neither economic nor profitable; in a few special cases it is economic; and in still fewer, profitable. By "economic" I mean as an aid to efficiency; and by "profitable" I mean as disclosed by cost accountancy. Other people use the terms "economic", "profitable", "payable", and "worthwhile" indiscriminately in reports from which I shall quote.

TIIE EVALUATIQN OF THE RESIDUAL EFFECT OF PHOSPHATE ON PERMANENT PASTURES
Authors: Karlovsky J.
Published: October 2021

Phosphatic fertilisers applied over a period exert an effect which may last for a considerable time, depending on the amount of fertiliser used and the soil type. Thus, for instance, at Hoosfield, England, phosphatic fertilisers applied before 1911 continued to exert a marked influence as late as 1949. In field trials on a farm in Seine et Oise, France, phosphates applied before the Second World War, in excess of removals, have shown an after-effect up till 1952.
NUTRITION OF GRAZING SHEEP
Authors: Wallace L.R.
Published: October 2021

During recent years quite a lot of information has been accumulated which shows the way in which sheep respond to different levels of feeding imposed for short periods at different times of the year. As a result, we have a very clear idea of which are the more, and which are the less important periods from the point of view of animal performance. Although there is still a very great need for long-term studies on a complete farm basis, designed to ascertain the grazing management systems that will give the best over-all results on different types of farm in different localities, the work already done has, at least, established the main principles upon which grazing management must be based if good results are to be obtained.

Among our domestic animals the sheep has an outstanding virtue; if required to, it can live and produce, at least wool, on the most ' sparse and inhospitable grazings, and because of this ability it has always tended to be relegated to the less favourable environments for plant and animal growth. On the other hand, as we well know, it can, when given the opportunity, produce at high levels on the highly productive pastures that are a feature of our modern farming.

SOILS OF THE GISBORNE-EAST COAST DISTRICT AND THEIR PROBLEMS FOR PASTORAL USE
Authors: Gibbs H.S.
Published: October 2021

The Gisborne-East Coast district consists mainly of steep hill country, with many small areas of rolling land on hilltops and strips of terrace and river flats in the valleys. The hill country extends to the coast in headlands 500 to 1,000 ft high separated by numerous valleys with steep sides. Valleys are narrow except those of large rivers, especially the Waipaoa River and associated tributaries which have formed the Gisborne Plains. The range of soils in the district is fairly small, but changes are very frequent and the pattern is complex. Both the pattern of soils and high relief of the landscape are due principally to the geological history of the East Coast, which is outlined in the following paragraphs.
PERSPECTIVES IN PASTURE PLANT BREEDING IN NEW ZEALAND
Authors: Barclay P.C.
Published: October 2021

After about a quarter of a century of pasture plant breeding in this country it is wise to attempt some evaluation of the plant improvement studies under way at present and projected for the future. Grasslands Division, largely through the efforts of Dr L. Corkill, has released, up to the present, eight improved varieties into the Government Certification scheme. These varieties have proved themselves in most parts of New Zealand to be superior to commercial varieties of New Zealand origin and to any introductions. The question is what further problems can we hope to solve by plant improvement methods. I propose to discuss briefly three main topics: Objectives of Selection, The Raw Material of Selection, and Methods of Breeding

Attributes of resilient pasture for achieving environmental outcomes at farm scale
Authors: De Klein Cecile , Monaghan Ross , Donovan Mitchell , Wall Aaron , Schipper Louis , Pinxterhuis Ina
Published: October 2021

Pasture resilience commonly refers to a pasture’s ability to withstand or rebound from pressures to maintain production and quality of sown species. We suggest that a broader definition of pasture resilience is needed that also includes environmental responses, thus ensuring that productivity and environmental outcomes are considered together. Key attributes of resilient pastures to minimise soil erosion and nutrient, greenhouse gas and soil carbon losses are summarised based on current understanding of environmental losses from pastoral systems. These attributes include maintaining consistent pasture cover, high energy and/or low nitrogen species and species diversity that provides complementary root morphology and/or growth seasonality; all are likely to have positive benefits for production and productivity. There is a potential tension, however, between productivity and methane emissions, as methane production increases with increased feed intake. Increasing pasture quality is therefore also an important consideration for pasture resilience as it can maintain animal productivity at lower levels of feed intake. From a farm systems perspective, the choice of pasture species should reflect the desired attributes for both productivity and environmental outcomes, and ensure that the sown species persist in the sward. Finally, we note that none of the environmental attributes/benefits are likely to deliver major farm-scale improvements on their own; progress will likely be incremental improvements upon implementing a range of attributes.

Starting from the controversial principle that «learning is impeded by teaching», some relevant pedagogical practices are examined, such as Retrieval Practice, CLIL, and Microlanguages. Nevertheless, the core of this article deals with some pairs and triples of key theoretical principles, besides some basic theoretical areas, any educator should be familiar with and apply during her/his approach to the learning/teaching process.
Investigating the Role of Service Quality and Satisfaction on Debtor Loyalty Behavior
Authors: Wibowo Edy Bambang , Suryandari Retno Tanding
Published: October 2021

The current global economic challenges force each country to survive for the prosperity of its people. The banking sector, as one of the economic regulators, also helps to grow GDP. In this effort, the bank continues to strive to maintain customer satisfaction and build long-term relationships. Although many studies examine satisfaction, there are no studies that reveal the role of punctuality and convenience of service as solid constructs in explaining the process of bank customer loyalty behavior. The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between timeliness and service convenience to satisfaction-mediated loyalty. This paper is a conceptual study so that there are several prepositions explained. The implications of this article are expected to give alternative insight to marketing literature, especially in the field of banking marketing, as well as a foundation that can later be investigated empirically for future researchers.
Identifying Potentially Successful Start-up Social Enterprises
Authors: Groot Asceline , Dankbaar Ben
Published: October 2021

This paper investigates the characteristics of 347 project ideas that had the potential to develop and, in many cases, did develop into social enterprises. Insight into these characteristics may help impact investors identify potentially successful social enterprises at an early stage. At this stage, the terms of a business case are usually not figured out yet, but the plans have the potential to create social as well as financial value. The project ideas were posted on a Dutch online platform. The initiators described their social goals, the need for resources, and their plans for the execution in their own words. We compared the characteristics of the ideas that survived with the ones that didn’t. It appears that potential social entrepreneurs have a higher chance to survive if they are at first less focused on the financial issues of their business and more on the impact they want to achieve.
Does Spending Make Us Happy? The Role of Consumption on Life Satisfaction
Authors: Dumludag Devrim , Gokdemir Ozge , Veenhoven Ruut
Published: October 2021

In economic theory ‘consumption’ is commonly seen as final ‘utility’, but the factual relationship between consumption and life satisfaction has hardly been considered. Empirical research on this matter can provide a basis for more informed consumer choice. We add to the emerging literature on this matter with a survey study among the general public in Turkey.
For the degree of absolute consumption, we found a negative relationship with life satisfaction, savers being happier than spenders. For kinds of consumption, we found mostly negative correlations with life satisfaction, in particular with housing expenses. The only positive correlation with life satisfaction was expensed on eating out and vacations.
These results illustrate that the relationship between consumption and life satisfaction is more complex and variable than is commonly assumed.
Schumpeter, Creative Destruction and the American Economy

Published: October 2021

The world is experiencing the age of Schumpeter and the American economy remains the premier example of a Schumpeterian economy. Despite its many naysayers and the doom and gloom professors that never stop predicting its demise, the American economy continues to show a remarkable capacity to rejuvenate. Orwell once commented that “England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their nationality.” Left-wing intellectuals, he argued, hasted the divorce between intelligence and patriotism, which weakened the country’s morale and emboldened its enemies. Left-wing intellectuals, he argued, hasted the divorce between intelligence and patriotism, which weakened the country’s morale and emboldened its enemies. If he were alive today, it would be interesting to hear his opinion about the relentless barrage of criticism against everything American. One thing seems sure, though, America, not England, is the country most hated by its intellectual class. Any talk about Schumpeter’s “gale of creative destruction” is anathema to these “critical critics.” After all, when it comes to everything American, these individuals believe that they must criticize for the sake of criticism. The thought that capitalism has an internal mechanism akin to a fountain of youth must be disheartening to those whose blinders prevent them from accepting opposing facts. Frightenedly, these same intellectuals are apologists for every dictatorship the world over.

Published: October 2021

In a context of deforestation and climate change, the land cover or use induced by human or natural transformation influences the climate from global to local scale. The aim of this study was to assess the vegetation dynamic between 1985 and 2020 within the Lamto Scientific Reserve (Côte d’Ivoire). After mapping the land cover by the neural network algorithm for the years 1988, 2002 and 2020, the climatic parameters including the Land Surface Temperature (LST) and the standardized precipitation index (SPI) were estimated since 1985. Then, the land cover response was estimated in the presence of the LST, with the average LST from 1985 to 2020 as a threshold. The forest dynamic showed an increase in area of 291.87 ha in 32 years. The area of forest has increased from 610.42 ha (21.42%) in 1988 to 902.29 ha (31.59%) in 2020. The practice of fire remains predominant in the reserve management. SPI shows three alternating seasons over the time. One wet season (1995 to 2010) framed by two dry seasons (1985 to 1994 and 2011 to 2020). The relation LST -NDVI shows covariation. LST indicates a variation from 30.46°C to 34.68°C, with an increase of 4.22°C between 1985 and 2020. The land cover response indicates that, with the exception of the LST of shrub savannahs and burnt areas, the land cover LST of 1988 and 2002 have remained below the LST threshold (32.70°C). The land cover LST of 2020 has risen above the threshold. Land-use changes have led to afforestation despite warming due to bushfires. In addition, forests could continue to act as a thermal moderator of Lamto reserve.

The article gives a comparative study of the main elements of Swiss system of business — transnational corporations and small and medium companies (SMEs). Using the methods of statistical analysis, systematic and comparative approaches the author analyzes their role in country economy, modification of activities and changes of their positions in innovative spheres. The author examines the factors of attractiveness and preferences which have influenced the location of TNC headquarters in Switzerland and its new trends. Multinationals are a driving force for Switzerland`s economy development. Swiss multinationals are also leaders in foreign direct investments. The study shows special significance of small and medium enterprises for Swiss economy and exports, their contribution to innovations and R&D. Foreign trade provides the greatest impetus for SMEs growth. The author analyzes the process of internationalization of small and medium companies in specific conditions of small country and their support by different instruments in the framework of three-tier system of interaction (federal center — cantons — municipalities) including financial support and preferential taxation. The federal government supports SMEs in obtaining bank loans by funding loan guarantee cooperatives. As a result it was envisaged that transnational companies and SMEs cooperated in creating a competitive and innovative economy and cluster model in Switzerland. The author notes the negative influence of pandemia on Swiss economy and MNC and SME, but at the same time there are some signs of its recovery.

Authors: GÜNEŞ Eda , BİÇER BAYRAM Şerife
Published: October 2021

The pumpkin seed membrane (PSM), which is high in water retention in the study, was recycled as waste, intended to be used in terms of target-non-target creatures and to determine its effect on resistance formation. Nowadays, when fat intake is steadily increasing through nutrition, increased use of fat makes an individual vulnerable to stress. The study determined the effect of additional taken waste/nutrients on oxidative stress in obese individuals. The fatty diet and pumpkin seed effect were trialed in the model organism in the study. The amount of Malondialdehyde (MDA) and total oxidation (TOS) and total antioxidant effect (TAS) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity in larvae, pupae, and adult of Drosophila melanogaster were calculated by adding different proportions of PSM (0.05-2 g) and fat (20%) to the diet. According to the data obtained: It was determined that the period with the highest oxidative stress index (OSI) is the pupae (pupae> larvae> female> male), the amount of lipid peroxidation (MDA) is higher in females, moreover, the third larvae is the most resistant stage. The results have shown that waste of seed mambrane can't be useful in vivo as a nutrient due to usage limitation.

SAVUNMA HARCAMALARI EKONOMİK BÜYÜME İLİŞKİSİ: OECD ÜLKELERİ ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME
Authors: ZÜLFÜOĞLU Özkan
Published: October 2021

Savunma harcamaları zorunluluktan doğmakta, ülkelerin coğrafi konumları ile politik bakış açılarına göre miktar ve bileşimi farklılık göstermektedir. Bu özelliklerinin yanında, savunma harcamalarının ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisi, iktisat ve maliye literatüründe fazlasıyla araştırılan bir konu olmuştur. Bu çalışmada, öncelikle savunma harcamalarının savunma sanayii üzerinden doğurabileceği ekonomik sonuçlar ve ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etki kanalları tartışılmıştır. Bilindiği üzere siyasi iktidarlar, ulusal bağımsız bir savunma sanayii kurulması hedefiyle savunma sanayii teşviklerine başvurabilmektedirler. Bu teşviklerin arkasında savunma sanayiinde dışa bağımlılığı azaltmanın yanında, özel sektörü desteklemek ile ekonomik büyümenin uyarılması da yatmaktadır. Çalışmada 35 OECD ülkesinin 2005-2019 yılları arasındaki verisi kullanılarak, savunma harcamalarının GSYH ile olan nedensellik ilişkisi üzerinden, ekonomik büyümeye olan etkisi panel veri nedensellik analizi yardımıyla incelenmiştir. Analiz sonuçları, uzun dönemde savunma harcamalarının ekonomik büyümeyi olumsuz etkileyebileceğini göstermiştir. Bununla birlikte sonuçların genel bir durumu yansıttığı, ülkelerin gelişmişlik düzeyleri, silah ithalat ve ihracat durumları ile savunma sanayiinin diğer sektörlerle bağlantılarının büyüme üzerinde etkili olabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Ekonomide güven ortamının tahsis edilmesi yatırımcıların hem bugünkü hem de gelecekteki yatırım kararları açısından önemlidir. Hisse senedi piyasaları ise ulusal ve uluslararası yatırımcılar açısından yatırımlarını değerlendirme noktasında finansal piyasalar içerisinde önemli bir öncü göstergedir. Bu bağlamda yatırımcıların yatırım kararlarına ekonomide güven unsurunun etkisi literatürde tartışma konusudur. Buradan hareketle bu çalışmada güven endeksleri ile hisse senedi piyasaları arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisi incelemektedir. Bu çerçevede hem uluslar arası güven göstergesi olan kredi temerrüt takası (CDS) hem de Türkiye’ de hesaplanan güven endeksleri (Finansal Hizmetler Güven Endeksi, Reel Kesim Güven Endeksi ve Tüketici Güven Endeksi) ile Hisse senedi piyasası ve alt sektörleri arasında ilişki 2012:05-2018:11 dönemleri arasında analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada tüm örneklem için Hacker ve Hatemi-J (2012) tarafından geliştirilen Boootstrap Nedensellik testi ile zaman içinde ortaya çıkan yapısal değişmeleri dikkate alan Balcılar vd. (2010) tarafından geliştirilen Bootstrap Kayan Pencere (Bootstrap Rolling Windows) nedensellik testi uygulanıp karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre genellikle CDS, Finansal Hizmetler Güven Endeksi ve Reel Kesim Güven Endekslerinin sırasıyla BİST100, BİST Sanayi ve BİST Mali sektörleri ile nedensellik ilişkisi gösterdiği ve bu değişkenler arasında tek yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi olduğu ifade edilebilir. BİST100 endeksinin ise Tüketici Güven Endeksini etkilediği ve iki değişken arasında nedensellik ilişkisinin tek yönlü olduğu görülmektedir.
