Mensuração do nível de percepção da incerteza subjetiva dos empreendedores de MPEs brasileiras
Authors: Silva Juliano Domingues
Published: September 2022

A tomada de decisão que responda de forma efetiva às incertezas conjunturais é preponderante para que os empreendedores tenham sucesso em suas empresas. Diante disso, a diferença de desempenho das empresas pode estar associada à percepção que os empreendedores possuem das incertezas inerentes aos seus negócios. O objetivo dessa pesquisa é mensurar o nível de percepção da incerteza subjetiva dos empreendedores de micro e pequenas empresas (MPEs) brasileiras. Essa pesquisa tem por base os estudos de Milliken (1987) que pressupõe três dimensões da percepção de incerteza: estado, efeito e resposta. Para tanto, a pesquisa foi realizada com uma metodologia quantitativa, com a aplicação de uma escala de incerteza subjetiva para 51 empreendedores, que iniciaram seus negócios nos últimos 36 meses. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de equações estruturais por meio do software SPSS AMOS v.20. Conclui-se a partir dos estudos que os empreendedores apresentam uma menor percepção de incerteza nas dimensões efeito e resposta do que para a dimensão estado, demonstrando a lacuna, em que empreendedores que não possuem capacidade para perceber componentes imprevisíveis do ambiente organizacional, apresentam dificuldade para perceber os efeitos e respostas em sua empresa.

Русская православная художественная проза XXI века: тенденции изучения и развития
Authors: Leonov Ivan
Published: September 2022

Данная статья посвящена православной прозе как феномену современного российского литературного процесса. Автор анализирует подходы к его изучению и выделяет круг наиболее дискуссионных вопросов, отраженных в литературоведении. К ним относятся вопросы терминологического обозначения, а также разработка дифференциальных признаков, позволяющих более четко обозначить границы этого явления. Кроме того, представляется актуальным создание оптимальной классификации течений в православной литературе, позволяющей рассматривать различные ее типы, объединенные вокруг общего теоцентрического вектора. Более того, в результате проведенного исследования были выявлены три течения, основанные на принципах христианской антропологии: учение о биполярности человеческой природы, идея обожения и понимание свободы как Божественного дара. Эти принципы определяют специфику миссионерской прозы, ориентированной на свободное волеизъявление человека, пытающегося преодолеть эту биполярность на пути к обожению; приходской прозы, раскрывающей жизнь христианина в лоне Церкви как священного организма и социального института; и монастырской прозы, которая опирается на художественные параметры этих направлений и дополняет их акцентом на конфессионально-проповедническом дискурсе и сакрально-метафизической специфике монастырского хронотопа.
Вибрані атрибутиви Бога у світлі українського перекладу псалтиря Івана Огієнка
Authors: Barabasz-Rewak Olga
Published: September 2022

У статті досліджено мовні засоби на позначення поняття «атрибутиви Бога» у перших двадцяти псалмах українського перекладу Івана Огієнка. Етнолінгвістичний аналіз способів вербалізації цього значення (за методологією Єжи Бартмінського) показує, що Огієнко, намагаючись перекласти з науковою точністю і водночас створити основу для української літературної мови, використовував цілу скарбницю українських лексичних і лексико-граматичних засобів, що втілюють в життя мисленнєві схеми східних народів щодо ознак Бога. До них, зокрема, належать: «недосяжний» – перебування у найвищій частині сакральної концептуальної моделі «верх – низ»; «всемогутній» – джерело людської сили; «захисник» – захист від ворогів; «той, хто любить праведного», «бездоганний», «запальний, страшний» та ін. Дослідження способів вербалізації найпоширеніших концептуальних моделей відкриває широке поле для подальших досліджень мовного образу Бога в контексті детального аналізу дій учасників груп «Бог–людина (грішник/праведник)» та «Бог–диявол».
Эмотивно-оценочный дискурс православного священника как языковой личности (на основе анализа проповеди протоиерея Димитрия Смирнова)
Authors: Petríková Anna , Wideł-Ignaszczak Małgorzata
Published: September 2022

В настоящей статье внимание обращено на анализ эмотивно-оценочного дискурса (ЭОД) языковой личности священника. Используя набор программных инструментов для обработки языковых корпусов, разработанный компанией Lexical Computing Ltd, был осуществлен количественный анализ текста проповеди на «День Святой Троицы. Пятидесятница (8 июня 2014 года). Предметом исследования является текстовая гнома № 4, которая вызвала огромный резонанс в обществе. Автор – протоиерей Димитрий Смирнов. Исследование проведено не только в аспекте корпусной лингвистики, но и в ракурсе теории дискурса, составной частью которого являются религиозный и эмотивно-оценочный дискурсы. В результате исследования был выявлен в дискурсе проповедника основной концепт «Человек», важнейшие коммуникативные параметры, как экспрессивность, неофициальность. Среди предтекстовых пресуппозиций текста проповеди можно назвать информацию о том, что проповедник учился в школе с математико-физическим профилем.
«Слово» и «дело» преподобного Паисия Величковского: к 300-летию со дня рождения подвижника
Authors: Krivolapov Vladimir
Published: September 2022

К XIX в. пути европеизированной, секулярной России и народной «Святой Руси» окончательно разошлись. Н. Бердяев рассуждал о том, что Серафим Саровский и А.С. Пушкин были современника, но не знали друг о друге и не испытывали потребности узнать. Вместе с тем во второй половине XVIII в. в монастырях Молдавии подвизался человек, о котором почти наверняка слышал Пушкин и сочинения которого внимательно читал св. Серафим. Звали его Паисий Величковский (1722-1794) и он в своей деятельности наметил пути преодоления имевшего место «раскола». Ученики преп. Паисия находили пристанище в российских монастырях, его сочинения и переводы святоотеческих текстов пользовались исключительной популярностью в монашеской среде, а его последователя взрастили оптинское старчество – феномен, ради которого в Оптиной пустыни перебывали почти все литературные классики от Гоголя до Пришвина. Автора настоящей статьи интересует прежде всего Паисий как автор собственной автобиографии. Помимо этого текста, существуют несколько вариантов жития подвижника, созданных либо его учениками, либо учениками его учеников. Автобиография нисколько не напоминает житие, в жанровом отношении это скорее авантюрный роман, тогда как житие Паисия, написанное его учеником Митрофаном, в полной мере соответствует агиографическому канону. Паисиевы тексты, сведенные в единый корпус, дают представление не только о личности подвижника, но и о встрече двух литературных систем: той, что всё ещё тяготела к традициям Средневековья, и той, что вдохновлялась Новым временем. Сама личность Паисия гармонично сочетала в себе черты, традиционные для монаха-аскета (эталонной фигуры для русского Средневековья), и те, что «изобличали» в нём человека динамичного XVIII столетия. Автор статьи убеждён, что не только наследие святого Паисия, но сам его образ являет воплощённый ответ на вопрос о путях преодоления «раскола».
В поисках «положительно прекрасного человека»: Эволюция авторского идеала в творчестве Ивана Шмелева
Authors: Gudzova Yaroslava
Published: September 2022

Изучение художественных открытий Ивана Сергеевича Шмелева на пути поисков положительного героя невозможно без учета предшествующего литературного опыта, тем более что сам писатель высоко ценил заслуги русской литературы в изображении идеального или близкого к идеалу персонажа. В стремлении к живописанию «положительно прекрасного человека» Шмелев прошел непростой путь от увлечения образами революционеров-идеалистов до признания правды Православия. Доискиваясь первооснов в представлениях об идеальном герое, писатель обратился к народно-национальной стихии, полагая духовное начало доминантной чертой русского характера и выражением подлинных чаяний и устремлений «человека простого сознания». На характере эволюции идейно-художественных взглядов Шмелева сказалось взаимодействие его прозы с опытом Достоевского и Чехова. Творческая и личная судьба закономерно привела писателя к изображению женского характера как средоточия лучших черт русской души и христианских ценностей. Идея духовного водительства стала сущностной характеристикой главной героини последнего романа писателя, отразившего его сокровенное желание «обожить» литературу. Такого рода замысел открывал перед Шмелевым особые перспективы в изображении идеального героя как героя верующего и воцерковленного.

Educação democrática e educação para a democracia nos dias atuais
Authors: Calzavara Adriana Akemi Kikuchi , Henning Leoni Maria Padilha
Published: September 2022

Na atualidade, as sociedades se caracterizam pela heterogeneidade, grupos com diferentes formas de viver e pensar convivem juntos, mas não necessariamente em harmonia. Nessa situação, a democracia tem seu papel destacado, promovendo o convívio social respeitoso, tolerante, cooperativo, e a busca do bem comum. Como educadores, temos que ter clareza de alguns conceitos para não cairmos em armadilhas de nossa sociedade dominada por valores de mercado, que refletem na educação. E precisamos também, frente à desvalorização da educação e da profissão docente, renovar nossas esperanças de que a educação é um instrumento de construção de um mundo melhor e mais justo. O legado de John Dewey pode nos trazer contribuições importantes e nos instrumentalizar para enfrentarmos algumas das dificuldades da realidade atual. É sobre esse assunto que nos debruçamos no presente artigo. Para efeito da realização desse estudo, analisamos alguns livros do autor que nos ofereceram as suas ideias norteadores frente ao problema que orientou nosso trabalho, como ainda, alguns outros materiais bibliográficos de   comentadores e de outros teóricos para nos esclarecer alguns conceitos correlatos.
Educação Científica e Negação da Ciência
Authors: Bicudo Rodrigo De Siqueira , Teixeira Ricardo Roberto Plaza
Published: September 2022

Este artigo procura investigar os impactos dos movimentos de negação da ciência para a sociedade e as suas consequências na área da educação. As similaridades entre ciência e democracia são analisadas, junto com as formas pelas quais os movimentos de negação destas duas instituições se valeram de mecanismos existentes nas mídias sociais para adquirir mais destaque a partir da segunda metade da década de 2010. A importância de aprofundar o debate sobre os modos usados pela ciência para compreender e explicar a realidade é enfatizada, de forma a provocar uma reflexão sobre os desafios colocados, no âmbito da educação científica, pelos movimentos de negação da ciência mais notórios existentes atualmente, sobre temas tais como: o aquecimento global, a eficácia das vacinas e o formato da Terra. Certas conexões dos movimentos de negação da ciência com o crescimento da produção de notícias falsas e com o conceito de pós-verdade são apresentadas. Esse trabalho analisa também a forma como a expansão pelas redes sociais de boatos e de vídeos que negam a ciência está associada à dinâmica dos movimentos anticiência e à percepção pública acerca do trabalho realizado por cientistas.

“Você é a aluna nova”: O adulto atípico na pesquisa etnográfica com crianças pequenas
Authors: Campos Rafaely Karolynne do Nascimento
Published: September 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é problematizar questões referentes ao papel do pesquisador nas relações que estabelece ao desenvolver uma pesquisa etnográfica com crianças pequenas. A partir das análises das notas do diário de campo, buscamos discutir questões concernentes às relações entre o pesquisador e os sujeitos no contexto das pesquisas desenvolvidas, problematizando o conceito de “adulto atípico” (CORSARO, 2011) e suas interfaces com as possiblidades de aproximações com as crianças. Os dados nos permitem afirmar que, na pesquisa com crianças, é preciso assumir o papel de um adulto distinto dos adultos pertencentes ao contexto, tendo o cuidado em não assumirmos comportamentos de criança, nem adotarmos o comportamento típico dos adultos que se relacionam com as crianças no cotidiano. Portanto, se faz necessário adotar o papel específico de pesquisador, papel esse que se constrói nas relações e interações estabelecidas em constante diálogo com as crianças.
Saberes docentes e pensamento pedagógico brasileiro: perspectivas e interseções a partir das narrativas de professores
Authors: Magalhães Maria de Lourdes Tavares , Porto Bernadete Souza
Published: September 2022

A problemática que fundamenta essa pesquisa aponta para a necessidade de desconstrução da concepção puramente técnica da docência, pautada no entendimento de que a ação do professor é uma ação meramente burocrática, instrumental voltada para a transmissão fidedigna dos conhecimentos historicamente elaborados. Contrariando essa concepção restritamente técnica, buscamos contribuir para a construção do entendimento de que os professores são intelectuais críticos. Assim, o objetivo geral deste artigo é compreender as relações estabelecidas entre os saberes docentes e o pensamento pedagógico brasileiro e os objetivos específicos são: compreender o que são saberes docentes, suas características e especificidades; analisar, segundo as narrativas docentes, as relações que os professores estabelecem entre os saberes da docência e o pensamento pedagógico brasileiro. A metodologia adotada é a qualitativa. Para coleta dos dados empíricos fez-se uso da entrevista narrativa conforme orientam Jovchelovitch e Bauer (2012). Para análise dos dados oriundos das entrevistas utilizou-se a técnica de Análise de Conteúdo desenvolvida por Bardin (2011). Os resultados apontam que conforme as diversas teorias pedagógicas, os professores também desenvolvem ao longo do percurso histórico, os saberes do conteúdo, da experiência, da técnica de ensinar, do diálogo gerador de aprendizagens e os saberes pedagógicos.

Produkowane przez rośliny metabolity wtórne stanowią bogatą grupę związków, z których wiele wykazuje działanie bioaktywne. Z tego względu są wykorzystywane między innymi w przemyśle farmaceutycznym, kosmetycznym i spożywczym. Problem stanowi niska wydajność pozyskiwania tych związków z roślin rosnących w warunkach naturalnych. Poszukiwane są więc metody stymulacji syntezy metabolitów roślinnych. W ostatnich latach ukazało się szereg artykułów naukowych dotyczących zastosowania metali jako związków stymulujących, tzw. elicytorów. W niniejszej publikacji przedstawiono przykłady zastosowania metali takich jak miedz (Cu), cynk (Zn), kadm (Cd) oraz wybranych nanocząsteczek jako elicytorów stymulujących biosyntezę roślinnych związków bioaktywnych.
Investigation of Bank Liquidity of Macroeconomic and Bank-Specific Determinants – A Panel Data Approach
Authors: Kasana Ekta , Chauhan Kshamta , Sahoo Bibhu Prasad
Published: September 2022

Liquidity is critically significant for the banks and banking system components. This study investigates the macroeconomic determinants along with bank-specific determinants of Indian banks. This study considered 50 banks for analysis from 2008 onwards. The result was drawn by employing the generalized method of moments. More precisely, the findings of this study indicate that liquid assets to total assets revealed a substantial relationship with bank determinants of deposits, capital, bank size, and net interest margin. The liquid assets to total assets was also found to have a significant association with macroeconomic determinants of interest rate, weighted average call rate, and gross domestic product. In the case of loans to total assets, bank-specific variables of asset management and net interest margin have a significant relationship, while for macroeconomic variables, only the interest rate has a significant association with bank liquidity. The other independent variables such as cash reserve ratio, return on assets, and non-interest income have an insignificant influence on the liquidity ratios. The findings are significant for bankers, regulators, analysts, and policymakers in managing bank liquidity. The current study is useful for other economies with a similar economic framework to India to improve their bank liquidity structure.
A Comprehensive Review on the Recent Advances in the Valorization of Jackfruit Waste for the Development of Value-Added Products
Authors: Brahma Rangina , Ray Subhajit
Published: September 2022

The jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), a particular member of the Moraceae family, is abundantly found in Asia's tropical and subtropical regions, and it has been reported to have a range of useful properties that treat ailments. Jackfruit contains both edible fractions e.g. seed and inedible fractions e.g. peel, rags, latex, perianth, core which are generally disposed of into the environment directly as waste and thereby causing an environmental concern as it leads to bio-waste accumulation. The existence of multiple beneficial compounds in the discarded parts of fruit contributes to its usage as a raw material in various food products such as bread, cake, cookies, extruded products, etc and also in various other sectors such as the fuel, cosmetics, pharmaceutical industries etc. This literature analysis was conducted to gain a good comprehension of changing trends in the Jackfruit waste utilization scenario, shaping up into the formation of value added food products. This review paper is designed by considering some latest findings of several researchers in this area.

Transforming Indigenous Chicken into Commercial Business, is it Possible?
Authors: Ton V D
Published: September 2022

Indigenous chicken needs to be preserved, because it has been decreased seriously. Its situation is caused by poor housing and low nutritional feed. Conservation of indigenous chickens is a very important mission for many countries in order to maintain genetic diversity. Indigenous chickens could be preserved by several methods, namely (1) Characterization of indigenous chickens; (2) Identification of special quality of indigenous chickens; (3) Combination between conservation and development of indigenous chickens; (4) Establishing association of indigenous chicken producers; and (5) Building up the distribution channels of indigenous chickens. The indigenous chickens need to be not only preserved but integrated into commercial business too. These two missions have mutual interaction. If the indigenous chicken conservation mission is well performed, it will also be a good addition to commercial business and the trading will in return push the development of indigenous chickens preservation.

Examining the Collegiality of Marxist and Naturalist Social Justice Ethical Pedagogy and Global Social Development Educational Commitment for Action for Community Disability Services
Authors: Nwachukwu Toby Precious T , Phaswana Edith D , Mazibuko Nokuthula C
Published: September 2022

This paper examines the collegiality of the Marxists and Naturalists of Social Justice theories toward ethical education in enhancing collegial management and leadership for community disability services for the benefit of community health and social work practices pertaining to post-COVID-19. Consequently, the collegiality of the Marxists and Naturalists of social justice theoretical ethical education was addressed within and linked with the four goals of the Global Social Work and Social Development Educational Commitment (GSDEC) for Action, thus, interconnecting the concepts above with the community disability services of health and social work practices and add clarity about their implementation for post-COVID-19 evaluation. The researchers argued that reimagining social justice education in improving the benefits of innovative and stimulating multisensory approaches pursued by higher education globally would expand the characteristics of collegial imagination and inventiveness. This paper suggests an effervescent hypothetical context concerning the critical elements desirable to galvanize and endorse collegiality in Marxists' and Naturalists' social justice ethical education for a post-COVID-19 era.
Assessment of the Purdue Improved Crop Storage (PICS) bag for maize storage in Ghana
Authors:   Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Arthur E , Akowuah JO , Obeng-Akrofi G ,   Iowa State University
Published: September 2022

Despite the recent introduction of improved grain storage methods and technologies, many smallholder maize farmers in Ghana still use traditional storage practices and structures for storing their maize grains after harvest. This practice contributes to the high post-harvest losses in maize grain at the smallholder level largely due to insect pest infestation. Hermetic bag storage is a proven technology effective in reducing grain damage and losses from insect pests. In this study, the efficacy of the Purdue Improved Crop Storage (PICS) bag was compared with a polypropylene (PP) bag stored with maize treated with Betallic Super EC chemical and PP bag stored with maize without Betallic treatment (Control) during a 6-month storage period. Data on grain moisture content (MC), number of live insects, insect damaged kernels (IDK) and maize weight loss were collected monthly for analysis. Grain viability and nutrient analysis were also conducted before and after storage. The results showed initial grain moisture content of 11.4% was not significantly affected in the PICS bags but increased by 1-2% in the PP bags. Purdue Improved Crop Storage (PICS) bags and Betallic treatment significantly reduced insect damage grains with mean weight loss of < 5% and 6.35 % respectively compared to the control (PP bag without Betallic) treatment with mean weight loss of 21 % over the 6-month storage period. Germination rate of sampled seeds after storage in the PICS bags (75 %) was not significantly different to the initial germination rate (78 %) compared to the control (PP bag without Betallic) treatment of 56 %. Overall, maize grains stored in the PICS bags showed no signs of deterioration as compared to grains in the PP bags. The PICS bags were superior to the PP bags in terms of other grain quality metrics assessed and the nutrient characterization such as protein and carbohydrate which had no significant difference (p<0.05) between the initial and the three treatments. The results showed that PICS bags can be effective in protecting maize grains during storage. Smallholder farmers are therefore encouraged to consider this technology especially for controlling insect pests of stored maize.

Trends and constraints in the utilization of African nightshade (Solanum nigrum complex) in Tanzania: A case study of Kilimanjaro and Morogoro regions
Authors:   Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology, Sangija F , Kazosi M , Martin M , Matemu A
Published: September 2022

African nightshade (ANS, Solanum nigrum complex) is among the most widely distributed and consumed indigenous vegetables in Tanzania. Several challenges hamper the utilization of ANS. This study sought to assess trends and constraints to ANS utilization in Kilimanjaro and Morogoro regions, Tanzania. Quantitative and qualitative methods were employed to collect information on ANS production, processing, and postharvest handling. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to collect quantitative data, whereas focus group discussion (FGDs) was used to collect qualitative data. A total of 627 farmers participated to fill questionnaire, and about eight FGDs with 6 - 10 participants conducted in Kilimanjaro and Morogoro. The results showed that 72.1% of farmers grow different ANS species, with Solanum scabrum vastly cultivated. Also, 79.4% of ANS farmers use irrigation, handheld hoe (97.6%), pesticides (70.7%), and fertilizer (64.8%) to produce ANS. African nightshade is mainly used as food (96.1%), animal feed (41.3%), and medicine (38%). On average, only 5% of ANS sales contributed to family income. Findings show that the main constraints to ANS utilization were pests and diseases (92.9%), lack of knowledge (58%), fertilizer shortages (51%), shortages of pesticides (50%), inadequate means of transport (50.4%), lack of extension services (48%), improper postharvest handling (41.4%) and inadequate storage facilities (34%). Postharvest losses accounted for 78.4% loss of ANS. Mitigation measures were; harvesting in small quantities (54.5%) and instant selling (61.9%) of fresh ANS. Drying (5.3%) and fermentation (1.1%) were the minimal value addition methods for ANS preservation. Moreover, boiling (63.0%) and frying (45.4%) were the typical methods of cooking ANS. More emphasis should be placed on good agricultural practices, providing knowledge to farmers, and supporting access to agricultural inputs such as pesticides, fertilizers, and quality seeds. Furthermore, knowledge of the processing and preservation of ANS is necessary for farmers to improve utilization, reduce losses, and ensure ANS availability. Also, research should focus on breeding local cultivar, which is resistant to pests and diseases. Key words: African nightshades, Solanum nigrum complex, cultivation, postharvest handling, utilization, processing, preservation
Trading Volume and Capital Gains Tax - Evidence from Selected Stock Markets with Different Characteristics
Authors: Gniadkowska-Szymańska Agata , Gubareva Mariya
Published: September 2022

The purpose of the article/hypothesis: The goal of this paper is to investigate the relationship between capital gains tax paid by investors and the liquidity of the market, expressed by the trading volume.

Methodology: In this study, the measure of market liquidity, expressed by the trading volume, has been proposed as a variable that may be influenced by taxes on capital gains. The article presents a new approach to the analysis of the liquidity of capital markets.

Results of the research: Based on the data analysis, it was found that the higher the taxes on capital gains are paid by investors, the less likely they are to take their profits, and this is the situation on a highly developed market (the analysed US market). However, as it turns out from the results obtained, in the case of European countries representing stock markets after the systemic transformation, the higher the taxes on capital gains, the higher the share trading in these markets should be.

Published: September 2022

Prasa religijna wieku XIX stanowi podstawę źródłową do badań nad polską kulturą religijną i narodową okresu niewoli. Odegrała ona wówczas dużą rolę w uświadamianiu społeczeństwa polskiego w wielu istotnych kwestiach. Czasopisma religijne były albo ściśle religijne, albo też poruszały tematykę świecką ustosunkowując się do niej. Szczególną wagę należy przykładać, z uwagi na dominację w polskim społeczeństwie wyznania katolickiego, właśnie do czasopism z tego kręgu. Dlatego też im poświęcą najwięcej zainteresowania autorki niniejszego artykułu.
Non-crop habitat management: Promoter of natural enemies of crop pests
Authors:   Department of Entomology, Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Bangladesh, Mala Mukta , Baishnab Mousumi ,   Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Published: September 2022

Non-crop habitats provide essential resources for natural enemies such as plant-derived food, such as nectar or pollen, shelter, alternative prey, protection from pesticides and other disturbances, and moderate microclimate and hibernation sites. The main aim of habitat management is to offer a favourable ecological infrastructure within the landscape. Different ways of habitat management such as selecting appropriate plant species, understanding behavioural mechanism, maintaining the spatial scale and spatial arrangement with heterogeneity has a positive impact on conservation biological control. Harmful conditions are mitigated or favourable conditions are increased for natural enemies in conservation biological control. In previous days, conservation and biological control were not applied a lot, but it has gotten more attention. Natural pest management can be conducted at different spatial scales like at the landscape scale and at the field scale; natural pest management at the landscape scale through habitat management is focused on in this essay. In agricultural landscapes, non-crop habitats are comprised of hedgerows, field margin, road verges, fallows, meadows and often woody forests. Different agricultural pest species and many natural enemies are associated with these non-crop habitats. The proportion of habitat defines landscape complexity can influence the diversity of animals, plants and microorganisms. Ecosystem services that improve ecosystems through nutrient cycling, water regulation and pest suppression are positively influenced by landscape complexity that can help reduce pest density and crop injury. Habitat management has a higher level of opportunity to maximize multi-functional ecosystem services through a wider scale of landscape management. Therefore, habitat management can be combined into land use types of local, regional, nationwide, and worldwide economic aspects to reduce the dependency of high input based on existing agriculture.

Background: Durum wheat is the most important cereal in Algeria. The yield of durum wheat is low and depends on climatic conditions and technical operations. Methods: The objective of this study is to compare the effect of the no-till system (NT) and conventional tillage system (CT) with three crop rotation sequences on wheat yield, yield components and some physiological traits under rain-fed conditions. The study was conducted at the technical institute of field crops-Sétif-in east of Algeria, over three crop seasons: 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19. Result: The number of plants/m2, tillers/m2, spikes/m2​ and grain yield were affected by the tillage system and the environmental conditions. Seed weight, straw yield, biological yield, leaf relative water content and leaf chlorophyll content were significantly affected by the environment but not by the tillage system. While the spike density, the harvest index and the grain yield were significantly higher under NT system than in the CT system. Furthermore, wheat grain yield was also higher following legumes than in wheat monoculture. These results indicate that no-tillage and crop diversification by adding leguminous in rotation improves grain legumes yield of durum wheat under semi-arid conditions of Algeria.

Background: Research examination led during the Rabi season of 2018-19 and 2019-20 to discover the Effect of hormonal seed strengthening on seed health status under accelerated ageing test in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) at state seed testing laboratory. The Blotter test was conducted in CRD plan with four replications. From the examination it was demonstrated that the hormonal treatment with salicylic acid at RH (90%) and temperature (35°C) for 2 days ageing showed least infection, while contagious contamination higher with the increment in relative humidity, temperature and duration of artificial ageing. Methods: During the years 2018 to 2020, the current experiment was carried out at the state seed testing laboratory, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, SHUATS, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. In the experiment, 37 different treatment permutations were used. To accelerate the ageing process, the seeds were placed in an ageing chamber with high temperatures and relative humidity. The aged seeds was then revitalized with hormones, a process known as hormonal seed fortification. Result: Our finding revealed that the aged seeds treated with gibberellic acid and salicylic acid (Growth Hormone) enhanced the quality of seed health status in Lentil.

A partir de la pandemia de covid-19, los gobiernos reglamentaron el aislamiento preventivo obligatorio como una medida para minimizar la propagación del virus SARS-CoV-2. El objetivo del artículo es reflexionar acerca de las consecuencias de este tipo de medidas sobre el desarrollo y el aprendizaje en estudiantes de diferentes niveles educativos, con el fin de proponer posibles adaptaciones educativas que se requieren ante el retorno de la comunidad educativa a la presencialidad. La reflexión estuvo alimentada por dos fuentes: revisión de literatura sobre el tema y avances en investigaciones psicoeducativas de algunos de los autores del presente texto. Las consecuencias identificadas son esencialmente negativas para el desarrollo cognitivo, las funciones ejecutivas, el desempeño en matemáticas y la salud mental. Como agravantes se identificaron el bajo capital social y cultural de las familias, las limitaciones en el acceso y uso de las herramientas digitales, deficiente formación de los docentes en el uso de las tecnologías con fines pedagógicos y dificultades de autorregulación en los estudiantes.
Análisis de un relato sufí de Mevlana Djalâl-od-Dîn Rumî desde el Adab sufí
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Rojas Torres Tzitzi Janik
Published: September 2022

In the Islamic tradition the adab has different levels of significance that intertwine religion, cultural wisdom, intellectual disciplines, and social norms and etiquette. Although this was adopted by tasawwuf, Islamic mysticism, since classical times, the most profound researches about the relationship between the two domains are rather recent. The present paper aims to interpret a story of Mavlānā Yalāl ad-Dīn Rūmī ‘s Masnavi in the light of the Sufi idea of the adab, to explore the possible link between the notions of the inner-esoteric (batin), and the outer-exoteric (zahir), and the behavioral etiquette of the adab in its classic sense.
National Identity in the Eastern and Southern Ukraine in 2022: a National Survey Analysis
Authors:   East European and Balkan Institute, Park Jee-Kwang
Published: September 2022

The Russia-Ukraine conflict over territory is rekindled by the Russia’s military invasion into Ukraine in February 2022. Russia takes it as the pretext of this invasion to protect the Russian-speaking population in Ukraine which accounts for about one-third of the Ukraine population. Russia has insisted that Ukraine does not have a separate and independent national identity distinct from Russia. Russia further insists that Ukraine was historic allyl a part of Russia and should be incorporated into the Russian civilization world. Radical Russian nationalists believe that it is their duty to reclaim the Eastern Ukraine which rightfully belongs to Russia but is mistakenly given to Ukraine. Ukrainian politicians and scholars deny any of these claims made by Russian nationalists.
This debate between Russia and Ukraine over Ukraine’s identity largely depends on the definition of national identity. national identity can be defined as ethnical or civic one. Ethnically, Ukraine has a national identity close to Russia’s. However, in terms of civic identity, Ukraine has a distinct identity from Russia’s. Ukrainian scholars emphasize that most residents in Ukraine have Ukraine civic identity and have fortified it in the wake of the Crimean Peninsula annexation and the Donbass war in 2014. On the other hand, Russian nationalists deny this argument.
To answer the questions, this article conducts a nationally representative telephone survey in Ukraine in February, 2022. The survey shows that about 70% of the respondents identify themselves as entirely Ukrainian citizen. Even in the East Ukraine, over 50% of the respondents do so. Thus, the Russian nationalists claim that the Russian-speaking people in the East feel Russian national identity is not empirically supported by our survey. However, the Ukrainization of Russian-speaking people in the East has not occurred as widely as some scholars assert although there is clear evidence for the phenomenon.
Aspects of Slovenia’s Language Policy after the Transition from the Perspective of the ‘Diglossia’ and ‘Windisch Theory’
Authors:   East European and Balkan Institute, Kwon Hyok Jae
Published: September 2022

The transition to Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the ‘Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia’ were the most significant events in Slovenian history. This change allowed Slovenia to gain its first independent state since settling in the Balkans in the 7th century. The history of Slovenia was, in short, the history of the incorporation. In previous history, Slovenia has always maintained their ethnicity and language under the umbrella of a powerful nation. In 1991, for the first time in history, Slovenia established an independent ‘nation-state’. The first priority of Slovenia was the establishment of a national identity, a national identity. The Slovenian language is a symbol of the Slovenian nation and national identity. In previous history, Slovenia did not complete this task, and the bigger problem was the Slovenian public's perception of the Slovenian language. Due to the continued cultural dominance of foreign powers, the Slovenians themselves turned a blind eye to the pure Slovenian language. Slovenian language was always a low variety in the ‘Diglossia Phenomenon’. The Slovenian accepted the ‘Windisch Theory’ and ‘Diglossia’ without resistance. The regime change and the establishment of the earliest national state were important turning points for improving the status of Slovenian both internally and externally. Slovenia tried to solve this through a state-led language policy. In the early days of the regime change, Slovenian language policy attempted to force the use of pure Slovenian language in all public sphere. However, Slovenes lived in previous history as Europeans rather than Balkans, Slavs. The general public in Slovenia tended to perceive the purist language policy as a product of backward Balkan nationalism. Contrary to the government's intention, the general public hoped for a Slovenian language policy that could be linked to globalization and Europeanization. The expansion of English, which can be called the language of globalization, is becoming increasingly concerned about another ‘Diglossia phenomenon’ despite the Slovenian government's regulations. After the regime change, Slovenian language policy changed according to the tendency of the regime and failed to present a consistent direction. To this day, the completion of pure Slovenian language, the sacred symbol of the Slovenian people, remains an unresolved national task.
Evgeny Zamyatin’s We as Psychological Novel: Change of Protagonist and the Theme of Double
Authors:   East European and Balkan Institute, Moon Joonil
Published: September 2022

This thesis is an attempt to interpret Evgeny Zamyatin’s We, which was evaluated only as utopian literature and dystopian literature, with a new reading method. In terms of genre, this work is a text of a very complex and interesting phenomenon. In We, genre experimentation is done to the extreme. Wearing a utopia envelope, if you look closely, the genre elements of love novels, adventure novels, and psychological novels are organically intertwined with each other, and they have a structure that ultimately leads to a philosophical novel. Therefore, the expansion and deepening of the genre structure interpretation provides decisive moments in the interpretation of We. The reason is that this text is not simply a combination of several genre elements, but has an organic complex genre structure that allows in-depth interpretation of this text only by applying the framework of various genre structures. The important point in this context is that the interrelationships between genres do not proceed in parallel within this text, but rather organically as one genre flows out of another.
The most basic genre structure in We as such a complex genre is the metafiction genre. We is a novel about writing novels, and the characteristic of this genre determines the basic narrative structure of this work. However, in the process of creating an epic poem, an unexpected transformation of the protagonist, that is, from a mathematician to a poet, occurs. This transformation process causes the main character’s ontological confusion and is accompanied by psychological agitation and pain. And the psychological confusion of the protagonist is now the main driving force for the novel. The literary expression of the confusion appears in the theme of the alter ego. And in the theme, various light motifs to represent the confusion of the main character constitute the semantic structure. This thesis aims to identify the in-depth semantic structure of this work by classifying the complex psychological novel devices in We.
