Authors: Elzarei MF , Mousa EF , AL-Sharari SA
Published: July 2021

Identify the genetic resources of the sheep and characterize these breeds accurately are very important to enhance the good performances of sheep and expand the knowledge of the differences among those breeds. Body measurements therefore, are perfect indicators to make definition for each breed. The present study is part of a wide one to definite of phenotypic characteristics in local breeds of sheep in Qassim region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The data were collected from three breeds in Qassim region, Noemi, Najdi and Hari. Najdi is the biggest breed of the sheep breeds in Saudi Arabia and it is the main breed in Najd region. Noemi is taking the second size breed of the sheep breeds in Saudi Arabia. Hari is the smallest breed of sheep breeds in Saudi Arabia, it is the main breed in Hejaz and Assir regions, which belong to the sheep with coarse hair, and thick tail strain. Eight body measurements traits were studied, Wither heights (WH), Rum heights (RH), Body length (BL), Head length (HL), Heart girth (HG), Muzzle diameter (MD), Cannon circumference (CC) and Cannon length (CL). 

The correlations coefficients among all studied traits were moderate to high and highly significant. The highest correlation coefficient was found between RH and WH traits (0.872), and the lowest one was found between CC and HG traits (0.214). The correlations coefficients between relative traits can help us to understand the similarity among studied traits and can be used in the future in selection program.
Diamond McConnells' Taping Technique versus Counterforce Elbow Orthosis in the Treatment of Lateral Epicondylitis: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Dewir Ibrahim
Published: July 2021

Introduction: Lateral epicondylitis, commonly referred to as tennis elbow, is one of the most common lesions of the arm. There are many treatment options available for tennis elbow; taping techniques and splints are commonly used.
Purpose: The objective of this research is to compare the impact of the diamond taping technique and counterforce elbow bands on pain and handgrip strength in patients with lateral epicondylitis.
Materials and methods: Forty male patients with lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), aged between 30 and 40 years, took part in this study. They were randomly assigned to one of two equivalent groups. Group A received the diamond taping intervention in addition to physical therapy, while group B was treated using an elbow band orthosis along with physical therapy. The JAMAR dynamometer and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) were used to assess handgrip strength and pain intensity respectively, before and following 4 weeks (12 sessions) of treatment.
Results: Group A demonstrated significant improvement of both handgrip strength and pain intensity, while group B showed significant improvement of pain only.
Conclusion: Diamond taping demonstrated a strong impact upon pain and handgrip strength in individuals with lateral epicondylitis. It is suggested that the diamond taping technique can be valuable in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis.
ENSINO DE PROGRAMAÇÃO PARA CRIANÇAS E O DESENVOLVIMENTO DO PENSAMENTO COMPUTACIONAL: ALGUMAS REFLEXÕES
Authors: Oliveira Aletheia Machado de
Published: July 2021

One of the great challenges faced by education is to reflect on the effective uses of digital information and communication technologies, in order to provide students with contextualized and meaningful learning. Therefore, the objective of the article is to reflect on the effective uses of digital information and communication technologies in education in these technological times, to achieve other ways of providing education. The teaching of programming can generate stimuli for the development of computational thinking, allowing the child to become a builder of digital artifacts. We emphasize, therefore, that our study is theoretical and reflective, consisting of bibliographical research, with contributions from Castells (1999), Coll and Monereo (2010), Papert (1994), Selwyn (2017), among other scholars. We present, at first, an explanation about the constructionist approach and education, based on the studies of its creator Seymour Papert. In a second moment, we reflect on teaching programming to children to then contextualize the computational thinking and implementation strategies adopted. From this study, we glimpse a horizon of possibilities for the necessary paradigm shift in education.

Authors: Camargo Augusto , Carvalho Wesley , Peressim Felipe , Barzilay Alan , Finger Marcelo
Published: July 2021

In this paper, we studied whether models based on BiLSTM and BERT can predict hashtags in Brazilian Portuguese for Ecommerce websites. Hashtags have a sizable financial impact on Ecommerce. We processed a corpus of Ecommerce reviews as inputs, and predicted hashtags as outputs. We evaluated the results using four quantitative metrics: NIST, BLEU, METEOR and a crowdsourced score. A word cloud was used as a qualitative metric. While all computer-generated metrics (NIST, BLEU and METEOR) indicated bad results, the crowdsourced results produced amazing scores. We concluded that the texts predicted by the neural networks are very promising for use as hashtags for products on Ecommerce websites. The code for this work is available at https://github.com/augustocamargo/text-to-hashtag.

Published: July 2021

Os pipelines de bioinformática são essenciais para possibilitar o processamento da enorme quantidade de dados biológicos disponíveis. Uma abordagem na análise de dados biológicos consiste em implementar scripts usando uma linguagem de programação como Perl, Python, R ou Bash. No entanto, esses scripts podem ser difíceis de serem mantidos e compreendidos por outros desenvolvedores. Neste trabalho, reimplementamos um pipeline para análise de amplicons, implementado em Perl, para torná-lo escalável, portável, com código simplificado e para a paralelização de seus processos. Para isso, utilizamos um gerenciador de workflow denominado Nextflow.

Authors: Juliani Bruno Henrique Toná , Okawa Cristhiane Michiko Passos , Mine Miriam Rita Moro
Published: July 2021

Temporal hydrometeorological series may present variations over time. The awareness of these characteristics is important to improve the monitoring of changes that these series may suffer along time. In this regard, the present paper aims to identify the existence of precipitation trends for the east portion of Paraná state, in Brazil, and also investigate the changes in the observed rates over the last 70 years. The statistical tests of Mann-Kendall and Pettitt, and also the Theil-Sen estimator, are applied for series of precipitation from 13 pluviometric stations of eastern Paraná state, Brazil, with 70 years of data records. By the results it was identified long-term linear positive trend for 11 of the precipitation series and also detected medium-term patterns in precipitation over 10 stations, characterizing the Joseph effect. These series have presented a behavior with higher rates in the most recent years in comparison from the first years of the historical data, sectioning the complete series into two shorter stationary periods, and presenting an abrupt change point.
Passion for past and functional imperative: Belgrade interwar residential architecture by Aleksandar Deroko
Authors: Madanović Milica
Published: July 2021

The name and the achievements of Aleksandar Deroko shine brightly in the constellation of Serbian architectural history. Deroko actively contributed to the Serbian twentieth-century architecture as a distinguished professor at the University of Belgrade, a prolific author, esteemed scholar, designer, and a highly driven heritage enthusiast. However, though recognised by his contemporaries and successors alike, Deroko's design activity has not yet been thoroughly examined. Exploring residential buildings designed for Deroko's Belgrade clientele, this paper widens the knowledge of his architectural production. Deroko's well-known passion for architectural history and extensive research of the Serbian vernacular buildings serve as a starting point for the study of his residential structures in Belgrade. Was Deroko's design process influenced by his deep appreciation for architectural past, and by the results of his findings? Or has he only adopted the formal characteristics of historic styles and vernacular architecture in his work? If so, to what extent? Discussing five structures built in the interwar period - house of Colonel Elezović, the Rakić villa, the Simić villa, the Marinković villa, the Stakić villa and the architect's personal villa - the paper traces transformation of Deroko's architectural inspiration, from typical academic historicist eclecticism to vernacular construction.
Ogilvie syndrome in a COVID-19 patient with pneumonia, absolute tachyarrhythmia and heart failure: A case report
Authors: Matković Zoran , Đekić-Matković Nataša
Published: July 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has recently spread worldwide presenting primarily in form of pneumonia. Gastrointestinal manifestations such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain are less common than respiratory symptoms. However, critically ill patients may develop digestive complications including acute pseudo-obstruction of colon-Ogilvie syndrome. Gastrointestinal symptoms can manifest before the onset of typical respiratory symptoms. Common mucosal immune response underly both-pulmonary and gastrointestinal manifestations (high expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors). This article described a 75-year old female patient who arise Ogilvie syndrome during viral bilateral pneumonia induced by COVID-19. Patient also had an absolute tachyarrhythmia and hearth failure. Diameter of caecum, ascending and transverse colon was 12 to 14 cm. The walls of this segment of large bowel were deserosed, with threatening perforation. Right colectomy was performed. Nine days after the surgery, despite all therapeutic measures taken, there was a fatal outcome due to pulmonary thromboembolisation.
El Derecho Tributario en la búsqueda de soluciones para los retos que plantean la robótica y la inteligencia artificial en la sociedad
Authors: Sánchez-Archidona Hidalgo Guillermo
Published: July 2021

En un contexto en el que la realidad se aproxima cada vez más a la ciencia ficción relatada por Asimov en sus novelas, el Derecho tributario desempeña un papel fundamental en la adaptación de la robótica y la inteligencia artificial a la vida cotidiana de los ciudadanos: puede equilibrar las fuerzas entre las máquinas y los trabajadores en el seno de la empresa, como también hacer lo propio atrayendo capital no ingresado en el Erario público proveniente de actividades sustanciadas en la explotación de datos. Por ello, en este trabajo se pretende contribuir a encontrar soluciones jurídicas frente a estos desafíos desde dos perspectivas: una, cómo regula la normativa fiscal la dicotomía robot vs. trabajador y las distintas medidas que se podrían articular al respecto; y dos, la necesidad de diseñar herramientas precisas para someter a gravamen los datos y los algoritmos, que quizás implique abandonar los corsés hasta la fecha impuestos y avanzar hacia soluciones fiscales trasgresoras e innovadoras.
Demanio público y monarquía latino-sabina romana
Authors: Díez Palacios Diego
Published: July 2021

La siguiente investigación analiza, en el marco de la experiencia jurídico-administrativa comunitaria de la primera fase de la monarquía romana, correspondiente a un periodo de naturaleza latino-sabina, el instituto jurídico denominado en los sistemas legales actuales como demanio público, dominio público de uso público, bienes públicos de uso público o cosas públicas de uso público. En la primera experiencia urbana romana los bienes comunes de uso colectivo presentan una serie de caracteres que, en buena medida, han sido recibidos directamente por la regulación jurídica romana posterior quien, adecuándolos y consagrándolos, construirá la categoría res publicae in publico usu. Por su parte, la regulación jurídica actual de los bienes públicos de uso público de numerosas naciones europeas está fundada e influida de modo indirecto, a través de la res publicae in publico usu, por las notas generadas en la primera experiencia estatal romana, sin olvidar que su fundamento más directo se encuentra en el contenido de la voz técnica romana «res publicae».

Published: July 2021

O crescimento das plantas de cana-de-açúcar é bastante reduzido devido à ocorrência de déficit hídrico, o que acaba afetando a produção. Diante disso, vem sendo utilizadas diferentes estratégias para atenuar condições de estresse, como a aplicação exógena de glicina betaína. Com este trabalho, objetivou-se avaliar a taxa de crescimento e a massa seca de cana-de-açúcar aplicada glicina betaína, e submetida a déficit hídrico e reidratação. O experimento foi realizado em casa de vegetação com seis tratamentos: G0I - plantas sem glicina betaína com irrigação adequada, G0E - plantas sem glicina betaína e estresse hídrico, G1I - plantas com uma aplicação de glicina betaína e irrigação adequada, G1E - plantas com uma aplicação de glicina betaína e estresse hídrico, G2I - plantas com duas aplicações de glicina betaína e irrigação adequada, G2E - plantas com duas aplicações de glicina betaína e estresse hídrico. Aos seis dias após o estresse as plantas foram reidratadas. As taxas relativas de crescimento das plantas de cana-de-açúcar reduziram com o estresse hídrico. No entanto, estas reduções foram minimizadas com a aplicação foliar de glicina betaína, principalmente, com a reidratação em que a taxa relativa de crescimento reduziu apenas 19 e 18,4%, respectivamente, em G1 e G2, enquanto em G0 a redução foi de 37,2%. A glicina betaína também minimizou as reduções na produção de massa seca total sob estresse hídrico, com reduções de 5,8 e 5,9% em G1 e G2, respectivamente, enquanto em G0 foi de 15,1%. A aplicação foliar de glicina betaína melhora a taxa relativa de crescimento de plantas de cana-de-açúcar sob estresse hídrico, sobretudo após a reidratação o que diminui os efeitos negativos do estresse sobre a produção de massa seca.

Published: July 2021

A aplicação de agroquímicos vem sendo pesquisada e a primorada ao longo dos anos, porém ainda há uma carência de pesquisas relacionadas à tecnologia de aplicação na cultura da cebola. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se avaliar a interação de diferentes pontas de pulverização e pressões de trabalho sobre a deposição de calda em plantas de cebola e no solo. O experimento foi constituído de 16 tratamentos e cinco repetições, organizados em esquema fatorial 4x4, combinando quatro pontas de pulverização (MF 110 015, AD 110 015, TT 110 015 e ADIA 110 02) e quatro pressões de trabalho (207, 276, 345 e 414 kPa). Foi conduzido em casa de vegetação com plantas cebolas transplantadas em vasos de 8 dm-3 preenchidos com solo. Plantas de cebola com cinco a seis folhas completamente desenvolvidas e placas de Petri acondicionadas no solo foram os alvos biológicos, onde se avaliou a deposição de calda nas plantas e no solo. Utilizou-se o corante azul brilhante como traçador, após a aplicação esse foi recuperado com água destilada e quantificado em espectrofotômetro, para determinação da deposição. A deposição de calda na cebola foi afetada pelo fator ponta de pulverização, já no solo foi influenciada pelo modelo de ponta de pulverização, pressão de trabalho e interação entre ambos. Concluiu-se que a ponta de impacto (TT 110 015) e jato plano com indução de ar (ADIA 110 02) foram os modelos que apresentaram maior deposição de calda nas plantas de cebola e no solo. A pressão de trabalho não afetou a deposição de calda nas plantas de cebola. O aumento de pressão incrementou a deposição de calda no solo para as pontas de jato plano (MF 110 015), pré-orifício (AD 110 015) e com indução de ar (ADIA 110 02), contudo não afetou a deposição na ponta de impacto (TT 110 015).

El artículo revisa la función de las citas en la escritura académica, y presenta las estrategias utilizadas en el Centro de Escritura de la Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo para la enseñanza de las técnicas de citación y referencia desde una propuesta integral de redacción que incluye la planificación, la textualización y la revisión, y a su vez, contextualiza a las citas y paráfrasis como estrategias argumentativas consistentes en la incorporación de diversas voces en el discurso, para el desarrollo de comparaciones, presentación de puntos de vista y de datos previos, que otorgan dialogicidad al texto. Con estas estrategias, se muestra cómo el problema de la citación debe abordarse más allá de una sanción del plagio, para convertirla en una posibilidad de redacción académica útil y correspondiente con los usos de cada disciplina científica.

This article reviews the role of citations in academic writing, and presents the strategies used in the Writing Center of the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo for teaching citation and reference techniques from a comprehensive proposal of writing. It includes planning, textualization and revision, and in turn, it contextualizes citations and paraphrases as argumentative strategies. The incorporation of diverse voices in the discourse for the development of comparisons and the presentation of points of view and previous data grant dialogicity to the text. These strategies show how the problem of citation should be addressed beyond the condemnation of plagiarism. These strategies also show how citation can become a possibility to enhance academic writing in keeping with the specificities of each scientific discipline.

Authors: García Hernández Maria Luisa , Cano Muñoz María Ángeles
Published: July 2021

Tomando como punto de referencia el marco Europeo de Educación Superior, el artículo que a continuación se presenta tiene como objetivo principal conocer desde la percepción del alumnado -aún en proceso de formación- del Grado de Maestro en Educación Primaria, cuáles son las variables que han influido en la adquisición de las competencias específicas que debe adquirir para el desarrollo de su perfil profesional. Para llevar a cabo este trabajo, se ha empleado una metodología no experimental de naturaleza descriptiva, aplicando para la recogida de datos de la muestra (n=109) un cuestionario cerrado ad-hoc. A partir del análisis de las respuestas, se revelan cuáles son las variables más influyentes en la adquisición de las competencias específicas y las que los alumnos universitarios consideran menos desarrolladas para alcanzar dichas competencias. Entre los resultados a destacar y según el alumnado, el tipo de evaluación es la variable que menos ha influido en la adquisición de las competencias específicas del título. Con los datos que se muestran a continuación, se pretende realizar un acercamiento a los procesos educativos que tienen lugar en las aulas universitarias desde las percepciones de los alumnos y, sobre todo, analizar su desarrollo competencial como futuros docentes que influirá, de manera inevitable, en su práctica en las aulas escolares.

Taking the European Framework of Higher Education as a point of reference, this article explores the perception of trainees enrolled in the Master's Degree in Primary Education with regard to the variables that have influenced the acquisition of the specific competences that they must acquire for the development of their professional profile. To conduct this study, a non-experimental methodology of a descriptive nature was used, applying a closed ad-hoc questionnaire for the collection of data from the sample (n = 109). The analysis of the responses reveals the most influential variables in the acquisition of the specific competences and those variables that university students consider least developed to achieve such competences. The results indicate that students hold the type of evaluation as the least influential variable regarding the acquisition of the specific competences of the degree. These data aim to approach educational processes that take place in university classrooms from the perceptions of students and, above all, analyse students’ competence development since this will inevitably influence their future teaching.

Una edad de oro de la traducción (1540-1570)
Authors: Blanco Mercedes
Published: July 2021

Las décadas centrales del siglo XVI tuvieron en el proceso histórico de la literatura en lengua española un papel fundacional. Entre 1543 y 1559, se sitúan, por ejemplo, la primera impresión de las Obras de Boscán y algunas de Garcilaso de la Vega, el Cancionero de romances del impresor flamenco Martín Nucio, la Vida del Lazarillo de Tormes, la Diana de Jorge de Montemayor. Con estas publicaciones inician su curso nada menos que la poesía italianizante y el omnipresente romance, la picaresca y la novela pastoril. Las cuatro obras tienen en común, en su concepción como textos y su producción como libros, una fecundación del fondo castellano por un aporte extranjero: catalán e italiano, flamenco, portugués, latino o griego. Son frutos de una cultura plurilingüe alentada por la movilidad de la corte y la inestabilidad política y religiosa. Por ello, no sorprende que coincidan con un florecimiento de la traducción que puede medirse no solo en el número de traducciones (del griego, del latín, del italiano e incluso del francés) sino también en su calidad. Se trata en varios casos de primeras versiones castellanas de obras de altísimo rango en el canon literario, tanto antiguas como modernas. Muchas ostentan la ambición de lograr un texto que no empobrezca al original pero que parezca escrito directamente en castellano, con una voluntad decidida de apropiación y naturalización. Estos traductores, que actúan generalmente por iniciativa propia e imprimen el resultado de sus esfuerzos, sostienen que, al trasladar al romance obras e incomparable valor, sirven a su patria y honran a su nación. El conjunto de las traducciones (cuyo inventario se hallará en apéndice) es coherente y significativo también porque se dan vínculos personales o coincidencias circunstanciales entre los traductores de estos años, sus impresores y dedicatarios. Puede verse dicho conjunto como macro-experimento estilístico y retórico que prepara y acompaña el surgir de géneros cuya germinación se produce entonces: señaladamente, la épica y la novela.

Published: July 2021

La exposición El dibujado, de Paco Roca (IVAM, 2019) es una exploración en el cambio de paradigma que supone el abandono del papel y la reproductibilidad como espacio de difusión de la historieta. La sala de exposiciones de un museo se configura como un espacio de experimentación formal y efímera a diferentes niveles, desde el puramente creativo al de reflexión sobre las posibilidades inexploradas del lenguaje de la historieta. El dibujante Paco Roca establece en esta muestra un reto a un espectador que deja su papel de visitante para convertirse en lector de una experiencia donde forma parte de la propia narrativa de la propuesta. El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar las características de esta exposición y los mecanismos de diseño y creación expositiva que conformaron su discurso, tanto desde la perspectiva creativa como desde la curatorial, pero también en su imbricación dentro de la oferta expositiva de un museo como el IVAM y en la propia evolución del lenguaje del medio.
Julie Doucet: del underground al desencanto y la experimentación gráfica
Authors: Mengual Morata Magda , Giner Monfort Jordi
Published: July 2021

La obra de la dibujante canadiense Julie Doucet, conocida por Dirty Plotte y My New York Diary, se reconoce por su oscuridad y abigarramiento. Después de unos años en los que llegó a colaborar con publicaciones como Wimmen’s Comix, Twisted Sisters o Weirdo, abandonó progresivamente los postulados hegemónicos del cómic y su estilo personal reconocible para adentrarse en nuevas formas de experimentación gráfica. Detrás de esta decisión parece que había razones varias, entre las que destaca el hecho de renunciar a un mercado hecho en gran medida por y para el público lector masculino. Si bien la transgresión ya era una característica asentada en Doucet, tanto en el lenguaje como en la imagen, sus últimos álbumes, en especial 365 Days, Elle Humour, My New New York Diary y Carpet Sweeper Tales, suponen un paso más en la experimentación visual y narrativa, tanto por el uso del collage como la pérdida de la importancia de la palabra escrita.

Short-chain soluble polyphosphate fertilizers increased soil P availability and mobility by reducing P fixation in two contrasting calcareous soils
Authors: Shah Jawad Ali , Chu Guixin
Published: July 2021

Short-chain polyphosphate fertilizers have been increasingly applied in agriculture, but little is known about the chemical behaviors of polyphosphate in soils. Herein, a cylinder experiment was carried out to investigate the influences of different P types (i.e., mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP), phosphoric acid (PA) and ammonium polyphosphate (poly-P)) and their application methods (single vs split) on the mobility and availability of P in soil through a column millimeter-scale slice cutting method; meanwhile a soil microcosm experiment (560-day) was conducted to investigate the effects of different P types on phosphorus dynamic transformation. Polyphosphate addition significantly increased P mobility. The average distance of P downward movement (81.5 mm) in soil profile in the poly-P application treatment increased by 33.6% and 81.1%, respectively, compared to the MAP and PA treatments. Different P application methods also markedly influenced phosphorus mobility. For instance, the average distance of P vertical movement in the split P application treatment was 21.2% higher than in the single application treatment, indicating that split P addition significantly increased P downward movement. Moreover, polyphosphate application decreased soil P fixation by blocking the transformation of the applied-P from labile to recalcitrant forms (HCl-P and residual-P). Overall, our findings provide meaningful information to current phosphorus fertilization practice in increasing soil P mobility and bioavailability. We suggest that polyphosphate could be regarded as an alternative P source used in agriculture, and split polyphosphate application is recommended as an effective P fertilization strategy.

Esta investigación tiene por objeto analizar como el permiso de construcción en Chile se ha insertado dentro de las instituciones y categorías del Derecho administrativo, a partir de la legislación positiva y una jurisprudencia administrativa y judicial que ha reforzado una visión del Derecho urbanístico como una disciplina que pertenece a dicha rama del derecho. Por su parte, también se demuestra como dicha institución ha sido una de las principales categorías de análisis que ha permitido fortalecer el Derecho administrativo general y aportar conclusiones que se proyectan en diversos ámbitos de esta disciplina, como es la existencia de derechos que tienen su fuente en títulos jurídico-administrativos, los efectos de la invalidación, la institución de la caducidad y los mecanismos de impugnación.

Published: July 2021

This study was designed to evaluate the welfare effect of the climate adaptation policy for rice price variation in terms of producer surplus, consumer surplus, and net change in social welfare in Bangladesh, using the partial equilibrium model of the adaptation policy. The long-term trend of climate and policy adaptation for climate impact on price variation of the rice in Bangladesh is taken into economic model approach. The base period of this research is 1977-2009 and the extrapolation period is 2010-2030. To execute the designed analysis, the time series data from national and international organization are used. The results for the support price policy show that the total surplus that producers receive is equivalent to USD 1,164 million, substantially higher than the consumer surplus (USD 763 million) during the period 2010–2030. The net change in the social welfare owing to the support price policy is equivalent to –1483 million (USD) during the period 2010–2030. Moreover, analysis of the subsidized price policy shows that the total surplus that consumers receive (USD 1,958 million) is relatively higher than the producer surplus (USD 1,738 million) in the same period. The net change in social welfare owing to the subsidized price policy (–197 million USD) is much higher than that owing to price support –1483 million (USD). Implementing the dual price policy would result in a much higher net change in the society’s welfare (–1185 million USD) compared to that possible through each policy separately. In conclusion, these adaptation and price stabilization policies are recognized to be more useful in mitigating the severe price rise and fall in the future food market, in favour of both producers and consumers. Even though the change in net social welfare is higher, the higher cost of policy budget is imperative to make stable food supply and security.

Authors: Osakwe Kennedy A. , Osakwe Rachael E.
Published: July 2021

Introduction: This research explored the Effects of Casualization on the Welfare of Workers using a de-identified multinational oil company in Nigeria as a representative case.

Objectives: The objectives of the study were to examine the effects of casualization of workers, associated irregularity of work, and deprivation of workers’ right.

Methodology: A close-ended questionnaire was used to collect primary data. Out of 150 copies of the questionnaire administered, 122 were dully filled, returned and analysed using descriptive statistics.

Results & Discussion: Three hypotheses were proposed and analysed using multiple regression of ordinary least square (OLS) statistical method and tested at 0.05 level of significance for the hypotheses. The result showed that there were significant negative effects of casualization of workers for a short-term contract work, irregularity of casualization of work, and deprivation of workers right to negotiate.

Conclusion: Hallmarks of casualization of labour include short term contract work; irregularity of work; and deprivation of workers’ right to negotiate adversely affects the welfare packages of workers. These practices have inherent occupational health implication on workers.

Recommendations: Casualization of labour as seen in this study is a despicable model that should be discontinued. However, if it must be practiced, the human resources, industrial relations, labour union and occupational health experts in such organizations should repackage such contracts to include allowances, job security, negotiation rights, dignity, benefits and welfare clauses as in permanent full time employment.

Since the last two decades, the risk factor of various diseases has spiked up among the children and adolescents, which has an immediate alliance to the increased use of smartphones. Previously children used to lag behind their adults for possession of smartphones, but with ease of accessibility in succeeding years, smartphone ownership among teens has jumped to 72% with unnecessary prolonged screen time durations.

The objective of this literature review was to highlight and refresh the slow poisoning effects of the smartphones in our younger generation due to its compelling traits which make them use it for a long time carelessly.
The effect of Relationship Network and Business Model Innovation on Start-up Performance in Vietnam
Authors: Thang Nguyen Manh
Published: July 2021

Aims: It aims to build and verify the theoretical model among the network of relationships, business model innovation and start-up performance of start-up companies.

Methodology: The study employed qualitative and quantitative methods of research in 550 start-up firms in Vietnam. The qualitative method is utilised to adjust and complement the scale (interviews with experts). Utilising the PLS-SEM analysis method with the SmartPLS support tool, the quantitative method is used to assess reliability, permissibility, model testing, and research hypotheses.

Results: Start-up firms' relationship network (with government officials, social contacts, and business partners) has a beneficial effect on their performance. Relations with government officials benefit value creation, value proposition, and value capture innovation. Social relationships have a positive impact on value proposition innovation. Relationships with business partners contribute to the creation of value and the innovation of new products and services. Business model innovation can have a sizable impact on the performance of a start-up. Finally, environmental dynamism has no regulatory effect on the innovation of business models or the performance of start-up firms.

Conclusion: This study has filled theoretical gaps by confirming the results of prior studies that had questioned the connection between the network of relationships, business model innovation, and start-up performance. The findings propose management solutions for start-ups' owners and senior managers, policymakers, and official government entities.

In the modern high intensity aquaculture, probiotics offer an encouraging substitute to chemicals and antibiotics, one such important application of probiotics is their use as growth promoters, in addition to health and water quality management. On the same background, the study was carried to evaluate the effect of dietary incorporation of probiotic - Bacillus subtilis on the growth performance of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella).The probiotic - Bacillus subtilis was mixed with the basal diet (Protein 32%) in three different concentrations (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 % designated as T1, T2, and T3). The basal feed with no probiotic was used as control (T0). The impact was recorded for a period of 60 days. Feeding was done twice a day at the rate of 5% of their body weight. Growth performance was evaluated through estimation of weight gain, feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), protein Efficiency Ratio (PER), specific growth rate (SGR) and feed efficiency ratio (FER). It was observed that the probiotic Bacillussubtilis fed at 1.5% significantly improved the growth performance of the fish Ctenopharyngodon idella showing the highest growth rate followed by 1% and 0.5% probiotic fed diets. Lowest growth rate was recorded in control group.
