Financial Distress dan Faktor-Faktor Prediksinya
Authors: Lau Elfreda Aplonia
Published: May 2022

Finance is a basic need for every company. No company started without finance and its sustainability  also determined by financial factors. The importance of these financial factors  for the sake of survival, a company needs to maintain healthy finances or prevent financial distress. This can be done if the company knows and understands financial distress and predict factors or factors that affect financial distress. This study is a library research that examines several empirical studies on financial distress and financial statements that are used to predict financial distress. The results of the study indicate that financial distress  is a condition that indicates a company is at two extreme points starting from the company experiencing an inability to meet short-term financial obligations where the company is illiquid to the point of being insolvable and if not addressed immediately can experience bankruptcy. The results also show that to predict financial distress, logit regression analysis techniques, Altman Z-Score, Springate and Zmijewsky models and the Grover method can be used. Furthermore, this study shows that financial ratios can be used to predict financial distress either as a factor that has a significant positive effect or a significant negative effect, a significant positive effect or an insignificant negative effect. This is highly dependent on the posts forming the financial ratios used to predict the financial distress of a company as well as general factors, external factors and other internal factors.

Published: May 2022

Мақолада хорижий давлатларда прокурор назоратини ташкил этиш ва фаолияти ҳақида сўз боради. Замонавий прокуратура фаолиятини таснифлашда иккита ёндашув маълум бўлди: функционал ва институционал. Биринчиси, устунлик қиладиган функцияга қараб типологияни ўз ичига олади, иккинчиси маълум бир мамлакатда ривож-ланган давлат ҳокимияти органлари тизимида прокура-туранинг ўрнини расмий белгилашга асосланади. Таклиф етилаётган таснифни ҳисобга олган ҳолда, ташкилот-ларнинг моделлари ва турлари ва прокуратура фаолияти-нинг тузилиши аниқланиб қўриб чиқилган.
Қонунлар тавсифланади ҳамда прокуратура органлари фаолиятини ташкил этиш ва мазмуни жиҳатидан ўхшаш бўлган давлатлар аниқланган; ҳокимиятнинг бирорта тармоғига мансуб бўлмаган ва прокуратурамизга нисбатан юқори функцияларга эга бўлган ҳалқаро прокуратура-ларнинг ваколатлари ажратилган; Конституцияларида прокуратуранинг ҳуқуқий мақоми амалда белгиланмаган мамлакатлар, чунки уларда прокуратура автоном тизим сифатида эмас, балки суд ёки ижро ҳокимиятининг бир қисми сифатида қаралади. МДҲ таркибига кирувчи мамлакатлар прокурорларига, шунингдек, их мувофиқлаш-тирувчи органларга алоҳида эътибор қаратилмоқда.

Published: May 2022

A growing body of evidence exists advocating the value of physical activity and exercise for people with Parkinson’s. Such is the importance of being active, participation in exercise is perceived to be of equal importance to medication in the long-term management of Parkinson’s. Despite a substantial body of evidence, the optimal prescription of exercise or mode of delivery remains underdetermined. This article aims to discuss the current evidence and provide guidance of prescription of exercise during each of three commonly-referred to stages of Parkinson’s: newly diagnosed, maintenance and complex.

Published: May 2022

Prema posljednjemu popisu stanovništva udio žena u ukupnoj populaciji u Bosni i Hercegovini je
skoro 51 %. Udio žena u radnoj snazi također je iznimno značajan, kao i udio u menadžmentu i vodstvu profitnih i neprofitnih organizacija te u javnome sektoru.
Žene su zastupljene uglavnom na nižim i srednjim razinama menadžmenta te je veoma mal udio žena
top menadžera u organizacijama. Žene su suočene s brojnim preprekama, označavane kao „nevidljive
prepreke“ ili „stakleni strop“, koje im onemogućavaju napredak u hijerarhiji organizacije i karijeri.
Temeljni su ciljevi ovoga istraživanja dolazak do spoznaje o stanju i aktivnosti u organizacijama,
problemima i preprekama s kojima se suočavaju žene, a koje utječu na uspješnost u obavljanju posla
i napredovanje u karijeri, te povezanosti stanja i aktivnosti u organizacijama s problemima s kojima
se suočavaju žene, a koje utječu na zastupljenost i uspješnost žena kao top menadžera.
Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju postoje li razlike u stanju i aktivnostima u organizacijama i razlike
u preprekama ženama u organizacijama u različitim djelatnostima, a koje utječu na zastupljenost i
uspješnost žena kao top menadžera. Istraženi su i prikazani rezultati zastupljenosti žena u strukturama vlasti u Bosni i Hercegovini te u upravljačkim strukturama gospodarskih društava. Napravljena je
usporedba istraživanja sa sličnim istraživanjima i stanjem u drugim zemljama te dane smjernice za
uklanjanje identificiranih prepreka i bolju ravnopravnost i zastupljenost žena.

Published: May 2022

Ravnopravnost spolova središnja je tema u čitavome svijetu, pa tako i EU-u, gdje predstavlja jednu od
temeljnih vrijednosti koju se nastoji integrirati u sve politike Europske unije, ali i programe financiranja EU-a. Analizirajući istraživanja o ravnopravnosti spolova na institucijama visokoga obrazovanja statistike idu u prilog činjenici da te institucije reproduciraju društvene vrijednosti koje dovode
do spolne, rodne pristranosti, odnosno diskriminacije. Statistike pokazuju da postoji vidna razlika u
tipičnim karijernim profilima za žene i muškarce, odnosno u odabiru znanstvenih područja. Razvidna je horizontalna segregacija, koja nimalo ne zaostaje za onom drugom, vertikalnom segregacijom
koja upućuje na to da je top menadžment, ali i uspješniji karijerni put u visokoobrazovnim institucijama uglavnom rezerviran za muškarce. Ne zanemarujući činjenicu da je dostizanje ravnopravnosti
spolova u visokome obrazovanju ipak dugoročni projekt koji bi trebao biti rezultat ne samo sveučilišnih politika, nego i institucionalnih vladinih mjera i politika, ovim se radom konstruktivno promišlja i aktualizira tema za buduća istraživanja, s provedenim istraživanjem na jedanaest ustrojbenih

KRIZA MEDIJA U DEMOKRATSKIM DRUŠTVIMA – JESU LI SLOBODNI ILI POLITIČKI UVJETOVANI? (SLUČAJ HRVATSKA)
Authors: Lesinger Gordana
Published: May 2022

Ministarstvo kulture 2013. godine provodi istraživanje o stanju u medijima, a 2015. godine započinje
raspravu o medijskoj politici te donosi deset dokumenata koji služe kao temelj za medijske politike
u RH od 2015. do 2020. godine. Nemoguće je tvrditi da je samo ekonomska kriza uzrok krize u medijima, iako postoji sveza jer je pad broja oglasa u medijima za sobom donio i pad broja zaposlenih.
Manji broj novinara u redakcijama utjecao je na pad kvalitete novinskih uradaka, a ekspanzija društvenih medija te jačanje portala na internetu, usmjerili su novinarstvo u drugom smjeru. Erozija demokratske funkcije medija termin je s kojim se danas susrećemo kada govorimo u “krizi” ili stanju u
medijima. Iako je prethodno održano nekoliko tematskih prosvjeda Hrvatskoga novinarskog društva,
u ožujku 2019. godine organiziran je opći prosvjed nazvan Oteli ste medije, novinarstvo ne damo.
Prosvjed je imao za cilj uručiti Vladi osam zahtjeva koji se odnose na sudske tuže, pritiske politike i
oglašivača, prijetnje novinarima, ugrožavanje profesionalnih standarda, nepoštivanje medijskih zakona kao te izostanak ozbiljne medijske politike. Iako rasprava o medijskoj politici završava u 2020.
godine, sami novinari navode izostanak adekvatne strategije. S obzirom na završetak petogodišnjega
razdoblja rasprave o medijskoj politici, u radu će se prikazati rekapitulacija protekloga razdoblja. Je
li sve navedeno uzrok daljnje krize u medijima te erozije funkcije medija, autori će nastojati utvrditi
u radu. Za potrebe rada provedena je anketa među novinarima dostupnim na društvenoj mreži LinkedIn. Također će se napraviti komparacija s početnim stanjem rasprave o medijskoj politici i dobivenih rezultate. Slijedom slogana prosvjeda, pokušat će se dati odgovor tko je oteo medije te kakva
je ocjena novinarstva u Hrvatskoj.
KOMPARATIVNA ANALIZA MODELA PLANIRANJA U ODNOSIMA S JAVNOŠĆU
Authors: Leko Ornela , Tomaš Antonia
Published: May 2022

Odnosi s javnošću društvena su znanost kojoj je cilj uspostavljanje komunikacije između organizacije i njezinih interesno-utjecajnih skupina. Radi održavanja dobrih odnosa između organizacije i
njezinih interesno-utjecajnih skupina važno je znati planirati. Planiranje je vrh piramide u kojoj su
ciljevi važna odredišna točka prema kojima su usmjerene sve aktivnosti. Planiranje je zahtjevan i
važan posao za organizaciju. Njime se može smanjiti nesigurnost poslovnoga okružja i bolje upravljati poslovnim rizicima. Teoretičari su tijekom povijesti razvili više modela planiranja u odnosima s
javnošću. Organizacije odabiru onaj model koji najbolje odgovara njihovu poslovanju, ovisno o vrsti
aktivnosti koju planiraju provesti i potrebi u danome trenutku. U ovome radu detaljno su analizirana
dva modela planiranja: Cutlip i sur. model planiranja i Gregory model planiranja. Razlog detaljnije
analize ovih dvaju modela jest njihova široka primjena u odnosima s javnošću pri provođenju kratkoročnih komunikacijskih planova. Uspoređujući ključne faze u procesu planiranja, vidljivo je kako
oba analizirana modela u svojoj osnovi zadržavaju elemente iskonskoga modela planiranja RACE.
Koncept otvorenoga sustava, koji oba autora zagovaraju, temelj je njihove sličnosti. Oba modela planiranja u svome konceptu ističu važnost pomno odabranih strategija, iza kojih dolazi primjena odgovarajućih taktika koje vode prema ostvarenju zadanih ciljeva. Organizacije koje učinkovito koriste
strateški pristup upravljanja i planiranja na tržištu imaju ispunjen glavni preduvjet za poslovni rast
ON LEXICAL WAY OF POLITNIESS CATEGORY IN THE TURKISH LANGUAGE
Authors: Imamova Xolida
Published: May 2022

The current article considers the lexicological way of conveying the category of politeness in the Turkish language. It identifies the lexicological means of expressing polite-ness in the Turkish language and their methodological features. The abundance of words of respect in the Turkish language indicates that the level of expression of the category of politeness in the language is extensive. By activity and content, personal pronouns, terms of relationship, and semantic units expressing politeness are parts of lexical means of courtesy. In Turkish, the category of politeness is manifested in personal, interrogative, and also in proper pronouns. Revealed the semantic development of lexical units, thus reflecting the politeness category. The content illustrates the stylistic features’ use of pronouns that convey inconsistency. At the same time, instead of pronouns, the use of words such as bendeniz, köleniz, and kulunuz shows the high level of politeness of the speaker concerning the hearer. Moreover, there is an emphasis on the utilization of kinship terms to express the category of courtesy. As you know, the relationship between members of society is formed based on the relationship of individuals. Therefore, the transmission of politeness using kinship terms is more ancient. Some lexical units expressing good manners include the words hanım, efendi, bay, and bey. In the category of politeness, synonyms are hanımefendi, hanım, bayan, kadın, hatun, kari, which means “woman”. The sequence of the above expressions reflects the politeness level from highest to neutral. The article also discusses the endings that accompany the mentioned lexical units. These include ending with m (-im, -ım / -üm, -um) and ending with -lar, -ler. Besides their categorical function, the above endings are non-categorical and functionally occur in expressing politeness. The article depicts that morphological forms accompany lexical means and serve to supplement the content. The features of lexical and morphological means of using politeness in Turkish are revealed based on these accents.
XI-XII CENTURIES UNIQUE METHODS OF WORKS ON HANAFI FIQH WRITTEN IN MAWARANNAHR
Authors: Muxtarov Bekzodbek
Published: May 2022

The XI-XII centuries are the golden age of the development of jurisprudence in Transoxiana. The science furu’ fl-fiqh is the second major branch of Hanafi jurisprudence. It consists of practical rulings based on the rules established in the science of usul al-fiqh and contains the Sharia evidence of the mujtahids, and fatwas issued on their basis. The rulings arrange in the form of topic-based texts. The language is easy and popular, considering the conditions of time and space, issues and fatwas introduced, and the rulings of madhabs compared. During this period, about 50 famous works in the usul and furu’ al-fiqh of Hanafi jurisprudence in specific genres like matn, jadal, khilaf, ahkam, faraid, shurut, adab al-qadi, hiyal, siyar, ihtisab, and fatwas were written in the country. In the XI-XII centuries, the methodology of jurisprudential sources served as the basis for the writing of later works. In particular, on the science of furu al-fiqh: Mukhtasar alQuduri by Abu al-Husayn Quduri, Khizana al-fiqh by Abu Lays Samarkandi, al-Mabsut by Imam Sarakhsi, Tuhfat alfuqaha by Alauddin Samarkandi, Badoe as-Sanoe fi Tartib ash-Sharoe by Alauddin Qasani, Bidayat al-Mubtadi and al-Hidaya Sharh al-bidaya by Burhanuddin Marginani and al-Fiqh an-nafi by Nasiruddin Samarkandi were also written during this period. Reliable sources of the jurisprudence of the Hanafi School were written by leading scholars in their field in the XI-XII centuries in Transoxiana. We can describe these works as free of weak narrations, free of mention of evidence, and documents, easy to read and memorize. At the same time, they have information on the jurisprudential differences among the various madhabs. It is essential to form the ability to understand the jurisprudential is The article has researched the works on Hanafi jurisprudence written in Transoxiana, their genre, methods, specific approaches of the authors, and their role in the development of Hanafi jurisprudence.
A Novel Approach of BRELU RESNET Based Cyber Attack Detection System with BAIT Based Approach for Mitigation
Authors: Prabhu Sangeetha , P. S. Nethravathi
Published: May 2022

Purpose: Industrial Control Systems become more vulnerable to digital attacks by merging communication groups and the Internet of Things, which could have severe implications. An Intrusion Detection System is essential in IoT businesses for identifying and stopping assaults. To ensure data privacy and security in the face of digital attacks, legislation and large enterprises should develop network security policies today. As people-based full frameworks have become more vital in today's society, they've also become targets for hostile activities, compelling both industry and research to concentrate more on dealing with local area disruption recognition issues. Contraption reviewing techniques have shown to be effective tools for resolving in-network interruption location issues.

Design/Methodology/Approach: This investigation yielded a very unique strategy for tackling hub moderation utilizing a Classification and Encryption method. The UNSW-NB15 dataset is acquired and divided into Data for preparation and testing from the start. The information is pre-handled and included are eliminated right away within the preparation time frame. The TWM Algorithm is then used to determine the relevant highlights from that moment onward. The BRELU-RESNET classifier then sorts the input into went after and non-went after categories. The compromised information is then saved in the security log record, and the typical data is encrypted using the ESHP-ECC computation. The shortest path distance is then calculated using Euclidean distance. Finally, the data is available. Finally, using the DSHP-ECC computation, the information is decrypted. If the information is available in the log document during testing, it is regarded as the sought-after data and is prevented from the transmission. If it is not present, then the process of digital assault recognition begins.

Findings/Result: The research is based on the UNSW-NB 15 dataset, which shows that the proposed method achieves an unreasonable awareness level of 98.34 percent, particularity level of 77.54 percent, exactness level of 96.6 percent, Precision level of 97.96 percent, review level of 98.34 percent, F-proportion of 98.15 percent, False Positive Rate of 22.46 percent, False Negative Rate of 1.66 percent, and Matthew's connection coefficient of 77.38

Originality/Value: This experimental-based research article examines the malicious activities in the cyberspace using BRELU-RESNET approach and mitigated by using BAIT based approach mechanism.

Comparison of Four Methods of Street Tree Assessment
Authors: Sommer Robert , Guenther Hartmut , Barker Philip A. , Swenson Jennifer P.
Published: May 2022

Householders and professionals were surveyed regarding the suitability of eight street tree species planted in their area. The same species were rated in slide presentations, and physical inspections were undertaken of sidewalk damage associated with tree roots. There was more agreement among householder, expert and slide simulation procedures in rating specific attributes than in judging overall suitability of a street tree. Sidewalk inspections did not correlate with other information sources on root damage. The benefits and limitations of each assessment procedure are described.
Growth and Nutrient Concentration in Flowering Dogwood After Nitrogen Fertilization and Dormant Root Pruning
Authors: Warren Stuart
Published: May 2022

Flowering dogwood, Cornus florida, seedlings were grown with 3 levels of nitrogen (25, 75 or 150 mg/L applied three times a week) after removal of 0, 25, 50 or 75% of the root system (by weight). Roots were removed in an inverted cone to simulate root loss that might be experienced during transplanting. Forty-five and 90 days after budbreak, seedlings were harvested. Leaf area and top dry weight increased quadraticallyy with increasing nitrogen. Root dry weight and relative growth rate (RGR) decreased with increasing nitrogen. Leaf area and top and root dry weights decreased with increasing root pruning. After 45 and 90 days, root RGR increased linearly with increasing root pruning. Percent nitrogen increased in all plant parts with increasing nitrogen. In general, %P, %K, %Ca and %Mg decreased with increasing nitrogen in all plant parts. Percent P in new stem and root, %K in root and %Mg in new stems and roots increased with increasing root pruning.

Oak decline has been reported periodically in Europe. In most cases it has been caused by a complex of abiotic and biotic factors. At present it is decreasing in Austria and in many other European countries. The most recent oak decline differs from former oak decline problems mainly because of its enormous extent, which reaches from England in the west to the Ukraine in the east and from Sweden in the north to Italy in the south and affects a high percentage of natural white oak stands.

Over the past 15 years Australian arboriculture has enjoyed considerable popularity and there has been a significant improvement in the professionalism of this sector of horticulture. A distinctly Australian arboricultural element, which accommodates local climatic and environmental conditions, has emerged based on the traditions of European arboriculturalists and the modem theories of American arborists. As yet there is no single professional arboricultural association in Australia, but attempts at improving tree management, arboricultural research and professional development auger well for the future of the Australian industry.
Applications of Biotechnology and Molecular Genetics to Tree Improvement
Authors: Huang Yinghua , Karnosky David , Tauer C.G.
Published: May 2022

Biotechnology, which has made significant contributions to the improvement programs of agronomic crops, offers the opportunities to enhance forestry research and accelerate tree improvement. Forest biologists and tree breeders are turning their attentions to these biotechnologies, which enable them to overcome barriers and can be integrated into conventional breeding methods leading to more rapid progress in tree breeding. Plant biotechnology currently comprises a range of activities, such as vegetative propagation and tissue culture, genome analysis and gene cloning, DNA recombination and gene transfer, and DNA-based selection. Although application of biotechnology in forest trees and ornamental woody plants is just in its infancy, micropropagation is rapidly becoming a standard tool for tree improvement. In addition, emerging success and practical application have become visible in genetic transformation. These initial achievements have already proven that biotechnology will make inestimable impact on tree improvement.
Integrating Classical Biological Control with Plant Health in the Urban Forest
Authors: Paine T.D. , Millar J.G. , Bellows T.S. , Hanks L.M. , Gould J.R.
Published: May 2022

Classical biological control is defined as a process of identification and introduction of natural enemies of pest species for the purpose of reducing the population size of the damaging species. Introduction of a parasitic wasp and a predaceous beetle has reduced populations of the ash whitef ly by 10,00-fold in landscape trees in California. It is hoped that similar introductions of parasitic wasps to control the eucalyptus longhorned borer will be successful in reducing tree mortality. However, choosing the proper species of Eucalyptus for site conditions, proper water management to maintain optimum tree vigor, and proper tree maintenance will reduce the risk of attack by this borer. Plant health care is critical to enhance tree resistance and limit tree susceptibility. The combination of maintaining vigorous tree growth and limiting the number of insect pests in the environment through the action of natural enemies provides a long-term approach to tree protection.

Gypsy Moth Management in Rock Creek Park, Washington, D.C.
Authors: Favre Christine , Sherald James , Schneeberger Noel
Published: May 2022

The National Park Service (NPS) first detected the gypsy moth in Rock Creek Park in the late 1970s. The potential tree defoliation caused by this exotic insect presented a serious threat to the recreational and ecological value of Rock Creek Park. In response to NPS policy concerning the management of exotic biota, an integrated pest management plan was adopted in 1983 to manage the gypsy moth in this unique urban park. The plan, a cooperative effort between the USDA Forest Service and the National Park Service, was designed to minimize defoliation and tree mortality while avoiding the adverse effect of management tactics on nontarget species. A variety of control methods were directed by intensive monitoring. Mating disruption and parasite releases, tactics designed for use in isolated, low density populations, were used initially. As the population increased, the biological pesticides Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) and the gypsy moth specific nucleopolyhedrosis virus (Gypchek®) were applied to distinctly defined areas of heavy infestation. Defoliation never occurred in the Park and further treatments have not been necessary since 1989. Monitoring activities continue.
Suppression of Spruce Needle Blight in Coastal Alaska
Authors: Hennon Paul , Douglas Jim
Published: May 2022

To evaluate the efficacy of disease suppression, three fungicides were applied to 72 young Sitka spruce trees near Juneau, Alaska in an area of endemic infection by the needle blight fungus, Lirula macrospora. Treatments were applied to three branches shortly after spruce needles emerged in spring and, on one-half of the trees, again during shoot elongation. Trees treated with each of the three fungicides had significantly fewer dead needles one year after infection than did trees treated with the control. Needle death did not differ significantly among the three fungicides or on trees that were sprayed once compared to trees sprayed twice. None of the three fungicides caused observable injury to spruce tissues, nor significantly altered the shoot growth of sprayed trees. These results suggest that the disease can be controlled by applying chemical treatment at the correct time in spring shortly after bud break of spruce.

Authors: Wasniewski Therese , Chaney William , Holt Harvey , Senft John
Published: May 2022

The strength properties of wood discolored by trunk injection of tree growth regulators (TGRs) were investigated. Sections of trunk 60 cm in length were removed from the boles of yellow poplar {Liriodendron tulipifera) trees 12 months after injection with Clipper or Cutless and from blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus) 44 months after trunk injection with Atrinal. Miniboards (2.5 x 2.5 x 40.6 cm) were cut with a band saw from one trunk section below and two trunk sections above injection sites in yellow poplar. Miniboards were taken only from one trunk section above injection sites in blue gum. Miniboards containing discolored and nondiscolored wood were cut from adjacent areas of the trunk sections of treated trees. Boards also were cut from untreated yellow poplar trees. The miniboards were planed to uniform dimensions and were tested in a Universal Testing Machine configured for beam bending stress on a 35.6 cm span. The stiffness (modulus of elasticity) and the breaking strength (modulus of rupture) of each of 216 samples of yellow poplar and 14 samples of blue gum were determined. Discoloration of yellow poplar and blue gum wood associated with injection of TGRs did not reduce wood strength or elasticity.
New and Under-Utilized Asian Trees for North American Gardens
Authors: Straley Gerald
Published: May 2022

The growth characteristics and horticultural merit of eight Asian trees that are generally unknown in North American horticulture are discussed. Seven deciduous trees (Sorbus hupehensis 'Pink Pagoda', Sorbus pallescens, Acer tschonoskii var. rubripes, Acer carpinifolium, Dipteronia sinensis, Heptacodium miconioides, Rehderodendron macrocarpum), and one conifer, Taiwania cryptomerioides, have been observed for several years at the University of British Columbia (UBC) Botanical Garden in Vancouver, to determine their suitability for more widespread cultivation as street, park or garden trees.
A Program for the Trunk Formula Method of Tree Appraisal
Authors: Fitzpatrick George
Published: May 2022

A program is presented that computes tree appraisal by the trunk formula method as presented in the Guide for Plant Appraisal, 8th edition (2). It is written in the RPN language and requires 62 lines of memory. It is designed for hand-held, battery-operated calculators that have a minimum of 10 storage registers and the capability of conditional branching in their programming format. Use of this program can reduce the problem of computational error and possible lack of precision in determining tree value by the trunk formula method and significantly reduces the time required for the calculations.
Target/Non-Target Effects of Herbicides in Power-Line Corridor Vegetation
Authors: Luken J.O. , Beiting S.W. , Kumler R.L.
Published: May 2022

Four herbicides (Accord, Accord+Escort, Garlon/ Tordon, and Krenite) and two cutting regimens (cut/spray and cut/delay spray) were tested in an Ohio power-line corridor. In all herbicide/cutting combinations, tree populations showed some recovery two years after treatment. Although Accord+Escort applied in a cut/spray treatment resulted in the lowest population of trees after two years, this treatment also had the most persistent negative effect on non-target ground cover. Krenite had the least negative impact on ground-cover. Spraying sooner rather than later after cutting improves treekill by all herbicides, but may also increase effects on nontarget species. More selective herbicides and herbicide application methods are needed for management of natural vegetation.
Adaptation of Trees to Low-Light Environments: Effect on Branching Pattern of Fraxinus americana
Authors: Harris J. Roger , Bassuk Nina L.
Published: May 2022

Newly planted trees are often moved from the full sun environment of the nursery to shady locations around buildings or in urban canyons. Trees must adapt in order to survive. An adaptive strategy for trees exposed to changing irradiance levels in forest settings is the ability to change branching habit to maximize whole tree photosynthesis. The genetic ability to alter branching habit has potential adaptive value for survival in the low-light environment found in many urban landscapes. The ability to alter branching habit when growing in shady versed bright habitats was tested onFraxinus amerícana(white ash) trees by measuring branching habit, as expressed by bifurcation ratio, on native stands of trees growing in a sunny old-field habitat and an adjacent shady understory habitat. Bifurcation ratios were similar for trees growing in both habitats, indicating an inability of white ash to change basic branching pattern when exposed to different irradiance environments. Other possible adaptive mechanisms and implications for planting in shady environments are discussed.
Resident's Perceptions of the Impact of Cultural Tourism
Authors: Dr. Anumol K. A.
Published: May 2022

McCool and Martin (1994) indicated that the purpose of tourism development should be to increase the quality of life (QOL) for residents. The underlying premise is that tourism brings economic benefit to communities through job opportunities, tax revenue, investment, and the like. At the same time, it also produces a variety of negative impacts such as crowding, traffic congestion, pollution, and increased cost of living that may harm residents' quality of life. Researchers have identified a connection between residents' quality of life and tourism development and have identified several factors which influence residents' quality of life such as type and number of tourists, social exchange relation, type of tourism development, and more. Residents' quality of life and satisfaction are important not only for residents but also for tourism investors and stakeholders. The present study focused on the cultural impact of tourism. This information may be very useful to regional, local, tourism stakeholders, tourism planners, and policymakers.
Os direitos de crianças, adolescentes e jovens nas constituições estaduais brasileiras: análise comparativa à luz da doutrina da proteção integral
Authors: Oliveira Assis da Costa
Published: May 2022

No presente artigo objetivo desenvolver uma análise comparativa das constituições estaduais brasileiras à luz da doutrina da proteção integral, de modo a identificar de que modo foram normatizadas as garantias jurídicas de crianças, adolescentes e jovens. Com base na pesquisa documental e bibliográfica, realizo a análise de três aspectos: a estrutura textual da proteção integral assegurada às crianças e adolescentes; as formas de inclusão e de exclusão da categoria juventude como sujeitos de direitos; e, por último, uma análise das categorias e da linguagem usada em algumas constituições para reproduzir ideários menoristas por dentro dos “novos” direitos. Concluo que as constituições estaduais são documentos jurídicos que precisam ser melhor conhecidos e utilizados pelos profissionais do campo jurídico e da rede de proteção. No entanto compreendo que seus conteúdos trazem tanto avanços, em comparação com a Constituição Federal de 1988, quanto medidas preocupantes que legitimam a exclusão de direitos e a estigmatização de crianças, adolescentes e jovens.
Perspectivas de Aprendizagem Autodirecionada e Transformadora em Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem: Novas Necessidades em Tempos de Pandemia da Covid-19
Authors: Amorim Stefany Karoline Pereira de , Lima Thales Batista de , Kruta-Bispo Ana Carolina
Published: May 2022

Em razão do cenário de pandemia ocasionado pelo novo coronavírus (covid-19), este artigo visa apresentar um panorama das pesquisas acadêmicas da área de Administração que abordam as perspectivas da aprendizagem autodirecionada e transformadora em ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem, para auxílio dos docentes na compreensão dos processos de aprendizagem de seus alunos, além da consolidação e estímulo dos estudos nesta temática. Para isso, essa pesquisa é de cunho qualitativo e organizado a partir da realização teórico-conceitual de uma revisão sistemática da literatura. Destaca-se que os 15 artigos encontrados nas bases de dados utilizados são dos últimos 10 anos, detalhando a autoria e os locais de publicação; além da exposição das temáticas específicas abordadas de cada artigo e dos percursos metodológicos. Com isso, os resultados indicam poucos estudos existentes que tratam da temática, além de uma concentração reduzida de autores que circulam na produção acadêmica nacional. Isso revela a necessidade de renovar a capacidade de diversificação de estudos e envolvimento de mais pesquisadores. Dessa forma, conclui-se que é essencial um despertar de pesquisadores para engajamento educacional, com os desafios da formação do administrador no tocante aos novos formatos de ensino enfrentados e acentuados pela pandemia, para resultar em aprendizados capazes de maior autodirecionamento dos estudantes e proporcionar transformações em suas perspectivas de significado.

Atualmente, as mudanças provocadas pela pandemia da covid-19 afetaram todos os setores da sociedade, dentre eles o setor educacional, a exemplo das instituições de ensino superior. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar a percepção dos docentes das universidades públicas sobre as atividades remotas no ensino superior. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa descritiva, quantitativa e por meio de um levantamento de dados do tipo survey, com 40 docentes das universidades públicas do estado do Rio Grande do Norte. Os resultados apontam que os docentes estão cientes quanto aos desafios existentes e apresentam boa compreensão acerca do ensino remoto. Por meio da análise fatorial exploratória, os itens analisados foram agrupados em quatro fatores: Fator 1 (Formato das aulas remotas), Fator 2 (Necessidade e adequação ao ensino remoto), Fator 3 (Suporte e habilidades em mídias digitais) e Fator 4 (Aspectos comportamentais), sendo estes os principais fatores para o desencadeamento das atividades remotas no ensino superior. Verifica-se ainda, que os resultados apresentados nesse estudo vão de encontro aos achados da literatura atual e atendem aos aspectos relacionados às mudanças provocadas pela pandemia.
A Reorientação das Práticas Ambulatoriais na Saúde Mental Coletiva a partir dos Grupos de Recepção
Authors: Perico Waldir , Rinaldi Doris Luz
Published: May 2022

Partindo da prática em um ambulatório de saúde mental, questionamos os modos de acolhimento tradicionalmente oferecidos às demandas de tratamento psíquico ambulatorial no campo público. Para tal, utilizamos uma análise paradigmática que – pautada na psicanálise, no materialismo histórico e na análise institucional – define o insurgente paradigma psicossocial como superação dialética da reforma psiquiátrica. A psicanálise e o materialismo histórico também foram as bases metodológicas da reflexão epistemológica que realizamos. Assim, suplantando a triagem privatista e medicalizadora do paradigma psiquiátrico dominante, os responsáveis pelos grupos de recepção devem suspender as respostas imediatas visando a uma escuta analítica que implique os sujeitos nos sintomas e conflitos dos quais se queixam. Por fim, destacando o necessário trabalho com as resistências a essas mudanças radicais, concluímos que a implantação dos grupos de recepção tem sido um importante meio de reestruturação dos dispositivos institucionais rumo a outro paradigma de tratamento.
El Otro ya Estaba Ahí. Acontecimiento, Cuerpo y Ominosidad en Tiempos de Pandemia
Authors: González Abraham Martínez
Published: May 2022

La presencia del coronavirus covid-19 (SARS CoV-2) en el mundo ha representado un hecho sin precedentes, la pandemia como acontecimiento produce discursos que representan expresiones de un malestar inmanente en el sujeto. Dentro de esos discursos emergentes aparece el tema del cuerpo que se eleva a la categoría de objeto de análisis en tanto se vuelve significante que es hablado: miedo a que el cuerpo enferme y muera, miedo al cuerpo del otro que no se sabe si porta el virus. Se pasa del sentido comunitario de la vigilancia al sinsentido del encuentro con el otro en la discriminación y la desigualdad; se transita del tipo de relación con el otro a quien se teme hacia el lugar desde donde se odia y agrede. En este trabajo de análisis desde una perspectiva psicoanalítica y enfocándonos en los efectos de repetición del significante, nos encontramos en una línea que va desde el tema de la biovigilancia hasta la experiencia de lo ominoso, donde el sujeto actual, este sujeto del encierro, sujetado a la ley de la ciencia de pronto se ve colocado frente al retorno de algo reprimido, y que no por tener ese carácter deja de serle familiar.
Subjetividade e Psicologia Social do Trabalho: Reflexões Teórico-Metodológicas a partir de Duas Investigações
Authors: D'Avila Geruza Tavares , Melo Thainara Granero de
Published: May 2022

O presente artigo problematiza a relação entre subjetividade e trabalho na pesquisa em Psicologia Social do Trabalho (PST). O objetivo é explicitar as características da PST e as possíveis relações com abordagens teórico-metodológicas distintas, especialmente, a partir de duas pesquisas de doutorado que abordaram a relação entre subjetividade e trabalho em contextos distintos, urbano e rural. A primeira delas, realizada entre 2010 e 2014, foi fundamentada na Psicologia Sócio-histórica e buscou compreender a trajetória e os sentidos atribuídos ao trabalho por jovens profissionais egressos de uma universidade da região metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro/RJ, Brasil. A segunda investigação, por sua vez, foi desenvolvida com base na Psicossociologia e Sociologia Clínica, e realizada entre 2015 e 2019 na região nordeste do Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, junto a um grupo de trabalhadores rurais assentados. Apesar de realizados em distintos espaços e tempos, observamos, ao revisitar as teses, a sinalização de uma tendência dos trabalhadores/as à luta pelos lugares de forma mais individualizada no mundo precarizado do trabalho, o que denota o quanto a produção das subjetividades é relacionada ao trabalho e às condições objetivas em que vivemos.
Desafios das Trabalhadoras Mães de Crianças pequenas durante a Pandemia Covid-19
Authors: Rossini Ana Paula Pagan , Messias João Carlos Caselli
Published: May 2022

A partir do início de 2020, a pandemia da Covid-19 criou, em escala mundial, impactos profundos na maneira de viver das pessoas. As relações de trabalho foram drástica e repentinamente alteradas, sendo a adoção do teletrabalho uma das soluções mais comuns. Esse novo cenário implicou ajustes profissionais e familiares, além de ter acarretado desgastes psíquicos. O presente estudo objetivou compreender as vivências de 10 mulheres trabalhadoras mães de crianças entre zero e seis anos e que atuavam em modalidades alternativas de trabalho. O método utilizado foi qualitativo fenomenológico e, a partir de encontros dialógicos individuais, foram elaboradas narrativas compreensivas e posteriormente compiladas em uma narrativa síntese com resultados analisados a partir do Modelo Demandas-Recursos (JD-R). Os elementos estruturais dos fenômenos identificados foram: a) foco na vida pessoal ou profissional; b) isolamento e sobrecarga e c) engajamento x esgotamento. Foi possível constatar que as mulheres trabalhadoras, que são mães de crianças pequenas, enfrentam dificuldades para manter o equilíbrio emocional e qualidade de vida. Vivências de sobrecarga derivada da multiplicidade de papéis, bem como a percepção de restrições para ascensão na carreira, também foram detectadas. Possuir uma rede de apoio estruturada e com efetiva participação de outros atores é visto de forma positiva quando ocorre, mas, infelizmente, a viabilização desses recursos ainda só ocorre a partir da organização das próprias mulheres. Diante desses resultados, ressalta-se a importância de políticas sociais e organizacionais mais eficazes para a promoção de condições favoráveis de trabalho, assim como a valorização de modalidades flexíveis de vínculo com o trabalho e a conscientização social a respeito das desigualdades de gênero.
