Digging through urban agriculture with feminist theoretical implements
Authors: Martin Mary Anne
Published: November 2019

This article considers the value of using tools from feminist theory to explore the efforts of urban agriculture initiatives that practice to some extent outside the formal economy. Such a lens looks beyond the presence of women in specific projects to the value, extent, purpose, and principles of these projects’ efforts. These community-based food initiatives strive to provide alternatives to dominant food production practices, but their efforts are often constrained by limited access to financial, labour, time, and political resources. Despite parallels between their work and what has traditionally been dubbed “women’s work,” the feminization of urban agriculture initiatives in Canada has received little attention in the academic literature. In this article, I revisit a case study of Durham Integrated Growers (DIG), an umbrella organization supporting urban agriculture projects, practices, and values across Durham Region, Ontario. This case study represents one of several conducted through Nourishing Communities Research Group to explore the potential of food systems groups working in the social economy to benefit local communities and the environment. This earlier research on DIG revealed themes involving the need for community expertise to be recognized, the role of public policy, the effects of relying on unpaid labour, and the centrality of building community. By exploring these themes within feminist framings of knowledge, work, power, care, and community, I find many areas where DIG’s work could be better understood through feminist theoretical lenses. Although more study is required on a broader range of community-based food initiatives, this research suggests that a feminist theoretical lens may provide a useful resource for illuminating and revaluating the practical, educational, and relational efforts of those working in them.
Social economy of food initiatives that are nourishing communities through “power-with” practices
Authors: Martin Mary Anne , Knezevic Irena , Ballamingie Patricia
Published: November 2019

From 2014 to 2019, Nourishing Communities: Sustainable Local Food Systems Research Group explored food initiatives in the social economy, many of which use practices like bartering, gifting, and self-provisioning, that remain under-recognized for their economic value. Nourishing Communities considered how these organizations may contribute to food security, community development, and environmental remediation, especially for marginalized groups. Its researchers collaborated with such organizations to complete participatory action projects and a range of products to communicate the initiatives’ impacts. As three of those researchers, we subsequently synthesized the material from these outputs to show the resources, barriers, and impacts of the respective initiatives. This meta-analysis reveals that these initiatives not only produce economic, social, and environmental benefits, but also work to organize human relations. Beyond considering how initiatives in the social economy of food interact with the market economy, we use Karlberg’s schema of power to illustrate their potential to reconceptualize human relations. Here we find them gravitating towards “power with” practices that emphasize cooperation over competition. Throughout, we employ the concept of framing to propose ways in which that re-conceptualization might “grow legs” and extend further into larger social discourses. In so doing, we find the initiatives strategically invoking alternative framings of work, knowledge, social relations, and value in order to explain the impact of their own work. Although further research is needed regarding the meaning that impact and power hold for social economy initiatives, this research contributes to scholarly debates surrounding the potential of food initiatives in the social economy.
Morality and the Nature of Politics
Authors: Čelutka Simas
Published: November 2019

The aim of the paper is to reconstruct and analyze Alvydas Jokubaitis’s understanding of politics. It is argued that Jokubaitis couples politics with morality in opposition to the liberal project of the autonomy of politics, which seeks to separate these two fields of human activity. According to Jokubaitis, politics is a realm of realization of the spiritual side of human nature. That is the reason why, through morality, he also tries to align politics with other domains of human spirituality, such as religion and metaphysics. What is common to politics, morality, religion, and metaphysics is the sphere of normativity, i.e., that of purposes, principles, and imperatives. At the same time, Jokubaitis attacks those schools of modern thought which interpret politics as corresponding solely to the physical, animal side of human nature. In this regard, positivism and scientism are singled out as the crudest attempts to misconstrue the nature of politics. The paper is based on a conviction that the acknowledgement of the importance of morality allows one to piece together Jokubaitis’s various considerations about the nature and distinctiveness of politics into a coherent whole.
Burócratas en la formación del Estado: construcción de representaciones sobre la burocracia en Costa Rica, 1839-1890
Authors: Rodríguez Solano Pablo Augusto
Published: November 2019

Este artículo pretende analizar las maneras en que se conforma la imagen de los funcionarios públicos del naciente Estado costarricense entre 1839 y 1890 –una etapa crítica de su formación institucional– a través de periódicos. Los conceptos, símbolos, signos, rituales y ceremonias, involucrados en la definición y mantenimiento de esta imagen evidencian un proceso de traducción. Esto último implica una continua burocratización del espacio social que conllevó un acercamiento entre los espacios de la administración local y central en la sociedad costarricense y constituyó a la burocracia en un puente que los unía, caracterizado por un enfrentamiento entre la experiencia (como forma práctica de la costumbre en el espacio local) y el conocimiento (como elemento de la formación técnica especializada). La investigación cuestiona la noción de la modernidad en la formación del estado costarricense y propone repensar una agenda de análisis para el acercamiento al fenómeno del poder en estos años clave.

A quantitative assessment of the impact of government activities on the economy of Poland
Authors: Meyer Daniel Francois
Published: November 2019

Government interventions and economic activities could have significant impacts on the economies of countries. Effective governance and quality institutions are required for sustainable economic growth in both developed and developing countries. The primary objective of this study was to analyse the impact of government activities on economic growth in Poland. The study followed a quantitative research approach, employing time series data from 1995 to 2017 including GDP as the dependent variable with variables such as government spending and debt, size and effectiveness of government, and the level of corruption as independent variables. The relationships between the variables were analysed by making use of an Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) econometric model. The results indicated that there are both long- and short-run relationships between the variables. Other results indicated that government variables included in the study, caused changes in economic growth as assessed via a Granger causality analysis. A number of recommendations were listed which include inter alia, that effective government spending and management have a positive impact on the economy, while efforts to limit the levels of corruption also contributes to economic improvements in a country.
Analysis of construction cost prediction studies – global perspective
Authors: Velumani P. , Nampoothiri N. V. N.
Published: November 2019

It is well known that the civil engineering constructions are subjected to cost risk and time overruns. The uncertainties of the cost of construction many times result in disputes among stakeholders. The recent cost fluctuation in sand price in Tamil Nadu is a good example of time and cost overruns. There are too many models developed to predict the cost of construction by using different parameters and tools. The objectives of this research are to analyse the importance of research in this field, the countries focusing on this issue, level of implementation by the practicing engineers, the tools often or successfully used, the difficulties in predicting the cost and the accuracy of prediction and bringing out a useful conclusion to provide the direction for future research. In this research, a sample of 324 research papers out of more than 2000 papers listed in Scopus database between the years 1990 and 2015 were considered and analyzed on five factors. The five factors are 1) authors affiliation – academics, industry or both; 2) country; 3) tools used – ANN, regression, time-series models, etc.; 4) complexity involved or ease of use; 5) accuracy of results. The results show interesting information.

Published: November 2019

Gynura procumbens contains tannins, saponins, steroids, triterpenoids, essential oils and flavonoids which have bioactivity as a medicine for various diseases. One effort to obtain the quality of medicinal plants uses management of soil water content. The opti-mum of soil water content will support optimal growth of a plant. Whereas in conditions of low soil water content resulted in the induc-tion of the production of secondary metabolites as a self-defense sys-tem. This study aimed to determine the effect of soil moisture content on the growth and total content of plant flavonoids G. procumbens. This study was carried out experimentally using a one-factor com-plete randomized design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments with five replications. The treatment used is the difference in soil water content of 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% field capacity. The data obtained in the form of quantitative data will be analyzed by One Way ANOVA Test. Measurement of the content of total flavonoid compounds was car-ried out using UV-Vis spectrophotometer analysis. The results of the study indicate the influence of soil moisture level on the growth and total content of G. procumbens. Parameter growth of fresh weight, dry weight, and root G. procumbens showed an increase in 40% soil water content. The flavonoid content showed the highest total flavo-noid content 18.884 mg/g in the 40% field capacity soil water content

Authors: Yolanisa Iskarimah , Buwono Ibnu Dwi , Mulyani Yuniar , Iskandar Iskandar
Published: November 2019

The male broodstock of Transgenic Mutiara catfish (P) (containing Clarias gariepinus Growth Hormone, CgGH) is a fish who show fast growth. Propagation of the Transgenic Mutiara catfish F1 and F2 progeny involves the crossing of broodstock P with Non Transgenic Mutiara catfish. New genetic variations (polymorphisms) can be generated from crosses broodstock P and F1 which lead to the fast growth inheritance of transgenic fish. Phylogenetic relationship analysis showed distance and genetic variation in broodstock P, F1, F2 and Sangkuriang catfish (as controls) using the RAPD-PCR method (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA-Polymerase Chain Reaction) as the research purposes. The results showed that OPA-03 (5'-AGTCAGCCAC-3 ') primer was selective for determining phylogenetic among catfish samples. The closest genetic similarity index originates from the female broodstock of Non Transgenic Mutiara catfish (P) (93%), while the farthest originates from the male broodstock of Mutiara Transgenic catfish (P) (51%) with F1 dan F2. Closely related broodstock catfish is not recommended to be crossed.

Authors: Irsyam Arifin Surya Dwipa , Irwanto Rina Ratnasih
Published: November 2019

Asteraceae is one of the largest families in the Angiosperm. It comprises of 24,000‒30,000 species which are grouped into 1,600‒1,700 genera and distributed in a cosmopolitan range. Based on Backer and Bakhuizen van den Brink’s 1965 works, they identified 227 species of Asteraceae in Java. Many of them are introduced species, both cultivated or naturalized. However, the cultivated species have not been recorded. The aim of this study is to provide information about new records of cultivated Asteraceae in Java. The observations were carried out in Bandung, Bogor, and Sumedang, during January to February 2019. Nine additional species were discovered; species belonging to genera Caputia (two species), Curio (two species), Kleinia (one species), Gymnanthemum (one species), Senecio (two species), and Tarlmounia (one species). These species were grouped into two tribes: Vernonieae and Senecioneae. This study indicates that information on Asteraceae of Java need to be updated.

Published: November 2019

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Problem: Leader and Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) is of growing interest in medical education and is a critical element for success. Several programs world-wide in undergraduate medical education (UME) and graduate medical education (GME) include their own versions of LEAD, but these programs remain relatively unique to university and institution missions. Creating and using a common language across the life-cycle (spanning pre-UME, UME, GME, and beyond) and delivering appropriate curricula and assessments for each stage of the professional life-cycle is essential. Approach: The purpose of the 2019 LEAD Summit and Working Group meeting was to share opinions, experiences, and current practices across the medical professional life-cycle. Attendees offered diverse perspectives relevant to leadership programs before, during, and after medical school. Outcomes: Three themes emerged from the meeting: the importance of common language; relevant and effective curriculum; and meaningful assessment across the life-cycle. Additionally, integration should occur within each step of the life-cycle and across the life-cycle to enhance the learning experience. To achieve these goals requires the development of learners and faculty. Next Steps: Leadership is valuable in medicine. If medical education programs do not value LEAD, then these programs will fail to equip graduates to be effective 21st Century medical professionals. The development of a common language, clear expectations within and among training programs, and accreditation from appropriate organizations would provide some quality control and encourage institutions to provide resources and buy-in from learners and faculty.

Published: November 2019

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Introduction: Formal mentoring programs are a professional development approach to help junior faculty develop an academic medicine career. This study investigated the perceptions of mentors versus mentees in formal career mentoring partnerships across multiple institutions. Methods: The authors implemented departmental mentoring programs for junior faculty at four academic medical centers. They collected post-program data from mentors and mentees in order to examine the predictors of mentoring satisfaction, mentee outcomes, and work-related variables. Results: The pattern of relationships between the variables differed for mentors versus mentees. Mentoring focus, mentor accessibility and mentee initiative predicted partnership satisfaction and mentee progress. Partnerships that used a mentoring agreement reported greater progress and satisfaction. There were some relationships between partnership outcomes and work-related outcomes. While partnership satisfaction predicted job and administrative/leadership satisfaction for mentors, it predicted positive perceptions of the department's mentoring culture and professional development opportunities for mentees. Conclusions: The study identified unique antecedents and consequences of mentoring partnership satisfaction and mentee outcomes. The varying perspectives of mentors versus mentees indicated a need to clearly communicate partnership expectations and desired outcomes. Overall, the positive impact of formal mentoring programs on partnership and work-related outcomes was supported with implications for future programs and research.

Authors: Bondarenko I. O. , Neduzha L. O.
Published: November 2019

Purpose. The main purpose of this work is to research deformability parameters of the railway track under various operating conditions as the initial data for the formation of forced oscillations of rolling stock and the trackform use intensity. Methodology. For the research, an original model of the trackform, described with using the basic concepts of the theory of elasticity and the propagation of elastic waves was developed. Findings. It has been established that the ratio between the intensity of work of elements and the trackform, as criteria for deformability, can be used as the estimated parameters of the functionally safe operation of the track. It can be the basis for the classification of critical track states under which it had to perform work to restore its working capacity in order to ensure the required level of efficiency of use construction during the service life. Originality. Trackform and parameters of the elements of the track superstructure and substructure can be described using the railway tracks deformability behaviour. In the future this conclusion will help to increase the efficiency of the dynamic properties of rolling stock when designing and maintain in readiness the infrastructure while in operation. Practical value. Changes in the regulatory framework of rail transport in recent years provide for the observance of its functional safety, therefore, the question of the need to assess the impact of rolling stock on the way to be regarded as a dynamic process with consideration to the deformability resistance track. This research provides a basis for record of the stiffness of deformation that allows creating the regulatory framework for safety and functional safety of the railway track in Ukraine.
MODELING THE OPTIMIZATION PROCESS OF INVESTMENTS IN DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENTERPRISE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT RANDOM COSTS
Authors: Gasanov Z. M.
Published: November 2019

Purpose. The study aims at substantiating the method to determine the optimal volume of investments for improving basic economic indicators of the enterprise’s performance selected by the company management at random costs at each stage of its development. Methodology. The proposed methodology for determining the optimal investment volume is based on simulation modeling methods and optimal control theory, in particular, the dynamic programming procedure, since the controlled process of the enterprise`s development is a multi-step one. Using step-by-step planning with generation of costs for transitions and statistical processing of results, a solution to optimization problem was obtained, to which the methods of mathematical analysis cannot be applied. Findings. An algorithm has been developed for calculating the minimal volume of capital investments for improving selected economic indicators and constructing the optimal trajectory for the enterprise`s development from the initial economic state to the final desired state. This takes into account unforeseen intermediate costs in the process of enterprise development. Originality. It is shown that using the methods of the theory of optimal control and simulation modeling, it is possible to calculate the minimal amount of capital investments to improve the selected economic indicators that determine the efficiency of the enterprise performance, taking into account the random costs of intermediate transitions by the development stages. Such calculation does not depend on the specific content of economic indicators. Practical value. The proposed methodology for calculating the minimal volume of capital investments is quite simple, but at the same time it allows, on the one hand, determining the priority areas of the enterprise’s investment activities. On the other hand, it increases the manageability and transparency of the enterprise’s economic activity, and increases the manager’s confidence in the correctness of the decisions made.

Authors: Савицкий Александр , Ильна Вера , Кевлич Владимир
Published: November 2019

The Aganozero chromium ore deposit, located in the Pudozh District, Karelia, is a complex object for ore and non-metalliferous useful minerals such as chromium ores, platinoids, chrome spinellids as well as Mg-bearing and high-Mg raw materials, e.g. serpentinite, olivinite, dunite and building materials. The primary goal of the present paper is to assess the radiation-hygienic situation at the Burakovian-Shalozero-Aganozero massif, which comprises the Aganozero deposit. Our assessment is essential in connection with the Megaproject to be launched in Karelia, where the Aganozero deposit will play the key role. Our assessment is based on the field and laboratory studies conducted by the authors with regard for the data obtained for this deposit by the Karelian Geological Survey and the appraisal of the radiation-hygienic situation in the Pudozh District done earlier by Nevskgeologia GTP, VSEGEI.

Karelian talc as a raw material: practical application and potential contribution to Russian mineral raw material reserves
Authors: Фролов Петр , Ильина Вера , Завёрткин Александр , Климовская Екатерина , Савицкий Александр
Published: November 2019

Talc is a unique natural material. Some talc-bearing rocks, e.g. soapstone, are also useful minerals. There are talc deposits on the Fennoscandian Shield. The main potential talc resources and reserves are in the Karelian Craton, which is part of the shield. Talc deposits in the Finnish extension of the craton are being mined in the Kainuu Schist Belt and soapstone deposits in the Suomussalmi-Kuhmo Greenstone Belt. The Karelian portion of the craton seems to be more promising for talc-bearing deposits, because favourable rock complexes of greenstone belts are more common there. The revival of Karelia’s economic, scientific and industrial potential for the prospecting, exploration, study, appraisal and exploitation of the talc deposits could provide an impetus to Russsia’s and Karelia’s industrial development on a new higher level.

Authors: Oliveira Marina Santiago , Coelho Pinto Maria Jaqueline
Published: November 2019

Durante a hospitalização do bebê em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva – Neonatal (UTI-N), a mãe fica impedida de realizar os primeiros cuidados maternos, evento potencial gerador de estresse no período pós-parto. Atualmente a espiritualidade tem alcançado destaque na literatura devido aos seus resultados benéficos no enfrentamento do estresse. Objetivou-se compreender o significado da dimensão espiritual como mediador emocional de mães de bebês prematuros na UTI-N. Realizou-se um estudo transversal, descritivo, com análise quanti/quali, por meio de entrevistas com 12 mães de bebês hospitalizados. Foram utilizados: Questionário Sociodemográfico; Escala PSS: NICU, Escala de Avaliação da Espiritualidade e uma entrevista qualitativa. A idade média das mães foi de 29 anos, 42% concluíram o ensino médio, 75% trabalhavam fora, 42% católicas, 58% casadas e 50% com idade gestacional entre 28 e 32 semanas. Sobre o recém-nascido, 58% eram do sexo masculino, 42% pesaram ao nascer entre 1 kg a 1,300 kg, 50% encontravam-se entre 5 a 15 dias de internação, 58% grau de prematuridade moderada. Os resultados da Escala PSS: NICU indicaram alto nível de estresse na subescala Alteração de Papel de Mãe/Pai. A avaliação da Espiritualidade em Contextos de Saúde revelou que todas as mães apoiaram-se em suas crenças espirituais. Na análise qualitativa foram destacadas 7 categorias de significados: esperança e otimismo, busca de sentido, apoio espiritual, suporte social/religioso, gratidão, diálogo com o divino e crescimento pessoal. Embora a maioria das mães tenha vivenciado o estresse; todas verbalizaram apoio em sua crença espiritual, consequentemente, a espiritualidade contribuiu como fator para a redução do impacto causado pelo estresse.

Proposing a Flowchart to Detect English Functional Equivalents for Persian Lexis: A Practical Approach
Authors: Bahremand Alireza , Mahmoudzehi Mousa
Published: November 2019

To translator trainers, teaching translation from trainees’ native to their foreign or second language is far more demanding than the other way round especially when it comes to detecting functional equivalence for the lexis of the source language. On the other hand, reaching a formulaic roadmap to English functional equivalence for Persian lexes would contribute to machine translation technology inasmuch as it can form the backbone of Persian-to-English digital applications and software. The present study aims at detecting a schematic approach to assist Persian-to-English translation trainees as well as translation software developers in detecting functional equivalents for Persian lexes. To this end, based upon the information gathered through observing an authentic translation process by a professional translator and following an interview with him in order to elucidate unclear points, a short, clear and to-the-point algorithm flowchart made up of two terminals, four decision diamonds and three process boxes was devised. Moreover, different sources such as dictionaries, thesauri, lexicons, and so forth used by the translator in question during the process of translation were introduced, along with a discussion of where, when and how they ought to be used.
Non-equivalence in Legal Translation
Authors: Jiang Ling , Zhuang Yuyan
Published: November 2019

This paper investigates the question of non-equivalence in legal translation in terms of lexical meanings, namely, translation of legal conceptual issues and false friends, lack of equivalent legal words, legal synonyms and legal system-bound words. Also, three reasons for non-equivalence in legal translation are analyzed from the perspective of legal system, culture and language. In the final part, this paper puts forward appropriate translation methods to deal with non-equivalence in legal translation like borrowing, coinage, addition and transliteration with annotation. In addition, for legal translators, a basic knowledge of the relevant legal system, a high level of proficiency in two legal languages and a law dictionary are necessary.
Automated Measuring Complex for the Research of the Frequency Characteristics of Microwave Filters in a Wide Range of Frequencies
Authors: Gladyshev Andrey B. , Dmitriev Dmitry D. , Zverev Peter Yu. , Smolev Ivan A.
Published: November 2019

The article proposes a variant of an automated measuring complex designed to study the frequency characteristics of microwave filters. When developing microwave filters, it is necessary to control their frequency parameters, for which standard instruments are used – vector network analyzers. However, new technologies for manufacturing microwave filters, aimed at improving the frequency-selective characteristics and miniaturizing the design, do not allow for comprehensive studies using only one vector network analyzer. This is mainly due to the insufficient dynamic range of the vector network analyzers, which does not allow for a qualitative measurement of such parameters as attenuation in the filter barrier bands. This problem can be easily solved using a signal generator with an increased output power level and a spectrum analyzer. For a comprehensive study of the characteristics of microwave filters, a combination of methods for measuring the parameters of microwave filters is proposed, where the main characteristics will be measured in the passband using a vector network analyzer and the parameters of the obstacle bands using a signal generator and spectrum analyzer. By connecting devices into a network under the control of special software, we obtain a flexible and convenient system for automated research of the characteristics of microwave filters
ASSESSING CAPACITY OF URBAN CLIMATE GOVERNANCE: A CASE FROM TURKISH METROPOLITAN MUNICIPALITIES
Authors: YILDIRIM Korkmaz
Published: November 2019

Emission control and reduction initiatives required to achieve low carbon society necessitate collaboration and capacity building between the public and non-public authorities vertically and horizontally at the international, national and local level. In particular, measures taken at the local level are important on the issue of climate change. To this end, this paper examines local climate protection initiatives of the metropolitan municipalities in the framework of modes of governance including self-governance, provision, enabling and regulation in Turkey. Content analysis with distinct urban policy sectors including mitigation and adaptation for Annual Action Reports and Strategic Plans of the municipalities was applied to determine the level of achievement for local climate protection actions. The study concludes that the local climate change mitigation activities are frequently implemented by provision modes in the sector of urban infrastructure and transportation in the Turkish metropolitan municipalities.

They consisted of written gratitude, publication of information about them in printed publications, reports at meetings of the Church and Archaeological Society, personal meetings with mecenats, consultations with reputable scholars and officials. It was established that during the first stage of the company's activity and the museum, the entire process of the museum's assembly was under Petrov 's control. It was found out that at this stage the scientist acquired the necessary experience in organizing the museum business. The scientist acquired at this stage the necessary experience in organizing the museum business. This is especially evident in his efforts to organize personal collections of Archimandrite Antonin (Kapustin), Archbishop Modest (Strelbitsky), writer and traveler A. Muravjov. At the second stage of the existence of a society and a museum, the role of Petrov became even more significant. This is especially evident in his efforts to organize the collections of Bishop Porphyry (Uspensky), Prince of San Domingo (P. Demidov), Mecenat M. Leopardov. Understanding and inclusion in the museum space of these collections significantly influenced the improvement of the museum's exposition scheme and concept. Work on attracting collections has slowed down in the third stage. N. I. Petrov focuses on the improvement of existing collections, their descriptions and conservation.
The Correlation Lengths and Hypocentral Positions of Great Earthquakes
Authors: Melgar Diego , Hayes Gavin P.
Published: November 2019

Here, we revisit the issue of slip distributions modeled as spatially random fields. For each earthquake in the U.S. Geological Survey’s database of finite‐fault models (M 7–9), we measure the parameters of a best‐fitting von Karman autocorrelation function. We explore the source scaling properties of the correlation lengths and the Hurst exponent. We find that the behavior previously observed for more moderate events generally still holds at higher magnitudes and larger source dimensions. However, we find slightly larger correlation lengths and a lower mean Hurst exponent. The most important effect of these differences is that using our preferred parameters to generate stochastic slip models will lead to slightly larger asperities and more small‐scale structure in between them. We also define a new scaling relationship for the standard deviation of slip necessary for a full description of a spatially random field. Here, we also explore the patterns of where hypocenters are located within a fault. We find that strongly unilateral ruptures are comparatively rare and propose several probability density functions that can be used to randomly assign hypocentral positions when creating stochastic sources. When compared to simply randomly assigning the hypocenter anywhere on the fault, this leads to overall shorter duration sources.

Tomato (Lycopersiconesculentum L.) is a long duration crop belongs to a family Solanaceae. In case of vegetables, tomato is a second major crop, cultivated wide range throughout the world. Although, tomato is moderate sensitive to salinity yet for salinity tolerance more attention is required. More than 30% cultivated land all over the world severely affected by the salinity. In this scenario, experiment was designed to investigate various morphological and physiological aspects of tomato under various salinity levels; different levels of exogenous glycine betaine applications. Study was conducted to reveal the salt tolerance in tomato genotypes. Experiment was performed under controlled condition in the growth chamber of the IHS, UAF. Different concentrations of sodium chloride salt (0, 1.5 and 3 dS m-1) was used for salinity levels. Medium size plastic pots were used for sowing of tomato and sand was used as growing medium. Hoagland solution was applied for nourishment of tomato seedlings. Salinity was applied on 3-4 leaf stage. Then examined the effect of glycine betaine (0, 5, 10 and 15mM) for salt tolerance on tomato cultivars. Data of various attributes was collected and analyzed statistically by appropriate statistical package. Results revealed that tomato growth was negatively affected by the salinity. Morphological attributes and physiological attributes reduced in response to salinity except electrolyte leakage which amplified in salt stress. Exogenous application of glycine betaine promotes the tolerance against the salinity in the tomato genotypes and enhance growth.

The cow is considered a divine animal in the Hindu culture. The milk, cow dung, urine of the cow is used for various purposes. The benefits of cow urine have been depicted in ancient Hindu texts, Vedas. The present study aimed at using cow urine as a plant growth enhancer and antimicrobial agent. The plants chosen for this study were Zea mays (maize), Triticum aestivum (wheat),Cymbopogon citratum (grass), Ocimum basilicum (tukmaria) and Trigonella foenum graecum (methi). The plants were grown for 30 days using different cow urine concentrations i.e 0%(control), 5%, 15%, 25%. The various parameters such as plant height, shoot, and root length, number of leaves, the mass of the root etc were observed. The antibacterial test using different cow urine concentrations i.e 0%(control), 5%, 15%, 25% was conducted on Escherichia coli using disc diffusion method. The fungus was screened and isolated from raw coconut and was grown on YPD media to obtain the mother culture. Using Slide culture technique, the fungi were identified as Aspergillus. The media was poisoned using different cow urine concentrations i.e 0%(control), 5%, 15%, 25% and the fungi culture was inoculated. GCMS analysis was conducted to identify the compounds present in the cow urine. Among the concentrations, 5% cow urine concentration showed maximum growth when compared to other concentrations whereas 25% concentration showed more antibacterial and antifungal activity when compared to others. In GCMS Analysis, 16 compounds have been identified, in which, 6 compounds were antifungal, 3 compounds were antibacterial, and 2 compounds as plant growth enhancers. This study concludes that cow urine can be used as a plant growth enhancer and it possesses antimicrobial characteristics.
The cognitive-functional properties of English WH-dialogic constructions in discourse
Authors: Zeng Guocai
Published: November 2019

Within the theoretical frameworks of cognitive linguistics and cognitive construction grammar, this paper takes the pair of a WH-question and one of its answers in contemporary spoken English as the research object and regards such pairs as WH-dialogic constructions. In this study we construct an Event-based Schema-Instance Cognitive Model (ESI model) to analyze the cognitive-functional properties of this category of dialogic constructions. The discoursal expansion and textual cohesion in discourse achieved through the application of such dialogic constructions indicate that the usage of WH-dialogic constructions is one of the basic cognitive strategies for human beings to construe the objective world.
Research on motion-emotion metaphor and its social cognitive mechanism—A case study of Chinese Mandarin, Yi language and English
Authors: Li Hongbo
Published: November 2019

Chinese motion-emotion metaphor and its social cognitive mechanism are explored, for the first time, with a comparison between Mandarin Chinese, the Yi language and English. The interaction between motions and emotions is the key to do the research from the perspective of cognitive functionalism. Cognitive functionalism argues that language reflects people’s consciousness, and the cognitive aspect of language interacts with the communicative function of language very well. According to this argument, motion-emotion metaphor, as a popular language phenomenon, can testify to such interactions. The comparative analysis of motion-emotion metaphors, from the perspective of cognitive functionalism, in this paper has proved to take the following aspects into consideration: the subjects’ experiences of physical motions and their effects on objects; the universality and the specificity of such experience; the emotions’ observable traits and their related motions; the common knowledge and normal beliefs among the motions’ subjects and their surrounding contexts.

Authors: Tao Qu
Published: November 2019

The modern semiotic world has undergone dramatic changes. Due to the development of technology, a wide range of media and mode are now available to sign makers, facilitating as well as requiring translations within and across semiotic systems. This research takes a social semiotic multimodal approach to study translation practices in educational situations in China. It explores how meaning is translated from EFL textbook to classroom teaching in Chinese universities, from the aspects of pedagogy, semiosis and effects. Focusing on translation, this article analyzes how pedagogy is redesigned in terms of situated practice, overt instruction, critical framing, and transformed practice. Based on the analysis of semiotic resources available in textbook and classrooms, this article discusses the functional loads of modes, patterns of mode combinations, translation categories, and semiotic strategies for realizing multiliteracies pedagogy. Finally, the effects of translation are explored in terms of pedagogy, sentient perception, cognitive process, physical features, and dissemination quality.

This paper describes an approach to solving the problem of finding similar images by visual similarity using neural networks on previously unmarked data. We propose to build special architecture of the neural network - autoencoder, through which high-level features are extracted from images. The search for the nearest elements is realized by the Euclidean metric in the generated feature space, after a preliminary decomposition into two-dimensional space. Proposed approach of generate feature space can be applied to the classification task using pre-clustering.
