aplicabilidade da qualificadora do feminicídio à mulher transexual
Authors: Reisdorfer João Guilherme , Puhl Eduardo
Published: May 2021

O presente artigo tem por escopo analisar a possibilidade de aplicação da qualificadora do feminicídio à mulher transexual, notadamente em razão do elevado número de homicídios perpetrados em face da mulher no atual cenário, em decorrência de violência doméstica e familiar. Para tanto, foram analisados os conceitos de feminicídio e transexual, com base no entendimento de diversos doutrinadores, já que há duas correntes doutrinárias sobre esta questão, pois há aqueles que entendem que, de fato, é possível a incidência da qualificadora às mulheres transexuais, enquanto que outros possuem o entendimento de que somente é possível sua aplicação para mulheres do sexo biológico feminino. Isso porque, a qualificadora do feminicídio, prevista no inciso VI, §2º, do artigo 121 do Código Penal, tem o objetivo de tornar mais rigorosa a penalidade para o agente que praticar o crime de homicídio em face do gênero feminino. Posteriormente, fora feita uma análise do emprego da qualificadora do feminicídio em delitos perpetrados em face de mulheres transexuais, chegando-se a conclusão de que sim, fora aplicada a qualificadora a mulher transexual. O método utilizado foi o dedutivo, ou seja, foram feitas pesquisas bibliográficas, revisão de doutrinas, pesquisas jurisprudências, buscas em artigos científicos e consulta a legislação brasileira.

Authors: Kamers Kely Karina , Decomain Pedro Roberto
Published: May 2021

O presente artigo constitui uma análise do estado atual do direito à morte dentro do ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, com escopo de verificar quais são os principais óbices às práticas de fim de vida e se semelhante direito, quando respaldado na dignidade da pessoa humana, poderia ser adotado no país. Primeiramente, buscou-se estabelecer, em linhas gerais, algumas das raízes que alicerçam o estigma da temática do fim da vida. Além disso, foram elucidadas as distinções conceituais entre as diferentes práticas relativas ao direito à morte, como a eutanásia, ortotanásia e a distanásia, com intuito de afastar preconceitos a respeito do tema e demonstrar como estigmas podem ter um impacto negativo, ainda que implícito, nas discussões sobre o direito de morrer. Com base no estudo da legislação, doutrina, bem como da ética médica, das resoluções do Conselho Federal de Medicina, por meio método dedutivo empregando ferramentas de pesquisas bibliográficas, esclareceu-se o que é e o que não é atualmente permitido no país. Ademais, intentou-se compreender quais são as razões dentro do ordenamento nacional para que se permita a legalidade da ortotanásia e até que ponto tais motivos se isentam de percepções pessoais alheias à imparcialidade de um Estado democrático de direito, tais como moralismo, religiosidade e tabu. Por fim, pautando-se em tudo que foi exposto e a partir da fundamentada perspectiva de que a Constituição não estabelece óbices verdadeiros ao direito à morte digna, visando a garantia dos direitos fundamentais, sem qualquer desrespeito à Constituição ou às demais leis vigentes.

Published: May 2021

O presente artigo tem por finalidade a análise do superendividamento dos consumidores idosos através da sua hipervulnerabilidade nas relações de consumo, que nada mais é do que uma vulnerabilidade agravada devido às limitações trazidas pela idade avançada, baixo grau de instrução e pelas diferenças sociais e biológicas de cada sociedade. A relevância do tema escolhido baseia-se no aumento da população de pessoas idosas e consequentemente na necessidade de ampliar os direitos e proteção dos mesmos. Dessa forma, torna-se extremamente relevante evidenciar o problema do superendividamento enfrentado pelos consumidores idosos, visto que na sociedade atual muitos fornecedores de produtos e serviços agem de má-fé utilizando-se de propagandas enganosas e abusivas, com propostas dissimuladas que possuem valores extremamente elevados e acabam por enganar o consumidor idoso. Utiliza-se dos diversos conceitos doutrinários quanto ao consumidor, ao idoso e ao fenômeno do superendividamento. Para tanto, o estudo decorreu principalmente de pesquisa bibliográfica, doutrinária e artigos, por meio de pesquisa qualitativa, conforme o método dedutivo. Em princípio demonstra o conceito de consumidor, sob a ótica legislativa e doutrinária, realça o princípio base do direito do consumidor, a vulnerabilidade. Após, disserta-se sobre o conceito e a proteção do idoso nas relações de consumo, através do Código de Defesa do Consumidor e do Estatuto do Idoso e adiante, o conceito do superendividamento, a hipervulnerabilidade e as causas deste fenômeno. Como possível conclusão, destacam-se as medidas que o Estado, garantidor dos direitos, tem adotado para amenizar este problema social.

Com o presente artigo se pretende analisar a guarda compartilhada como garantia do princípio do melhor interesse da criança e do adolescente. Tem como objetivo descrever a família na atualidade, conceituando e identificando os novos arranjos familiares, identificar os tipos de guarda no direito brasileiro e sua relação com o poder familiar e, por fim, verificar se a utilização da guarda compartilhada atenderia o princípio do melhor interesse da criança e do adolescente.  O método adotado para o artigo decorre de uma ampla revisão bibliográfica em doutrinas e artigos científicos de revistas renomadas, sendo o método de abordagem o dedutivo, tendo em vista que se parte da premissa que a guarda compartilhada garantiria o melhor interesse da criança e do adolescente. Pode-se concluir que o instituto da guarda compartilhada, atualmente, é o mais adotado dentro dos tribunais e também mais indicado pelo Superior Tribunal de Justiça, bem como é regra do Código Civil, pois é o que melhor atende os anseios da criança e do adolescente, fazendo com que os laços afetivos com ambos os pais permaneçam durante seu desenvolvimento.
Irrigation Scheduling of Maize Grown on a Vertisol Soil Under Changing Climate of Sofia’s Field
Authors: Ivanova Maria , Popova Zornitsa
Published: May 2021

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of climate uncertainties on maize irrigation requirements, grown on a Vertisol soil, Sofia’s field, Bulgaria. Through the validated WinIsareg model, four irrigation scheduling alternatives are simulated for the years of “very high“, “high“ and “average“ irrigation demands of past (1952–1984) and present (1970–2004) climate. Adaptation of irrigation scheduling to the present climate conditions during the “very dry“ years (P

I
≤12%) consists of an extension of the irrigation season by 15–20 days and a need of additional irrigation relative to alternative 1 and two irrigation events at alternatives 2 and 3. During the past climate alternatives 2 and 3 led to savings of 30 mm of water, while up to the current climate conditions the three irrigations alternatives should provide 360 mm of irrigation water. To obtain maximum yields in “dry“ (P

I
= 12–30%) years, irrigation season should end by 05/09, as in the present climate, irrigation season has shifted about a week earlier for the three alternatives. In the “average“ (P

I
= 30–60%) years the adaptation consist in accurately determination of the last allowed date for irrigation.

Authors: Szabó Andrea , Adeniyi Odunayo David , Tamás János , Nagy Attila
Published: May 2021

The active biomass of cultivated plants and average yield decreases as a result of biotic and abiotic stress effect. The extent of the reduction can be quantified on the basis of remotely sensed data. The aim of this research is to evaluate the suitability of Landsat 8 data for a wheat yield estimation. We processed Landsat 8 recordings for the period 2013–2019 and generated NDVI data. Time series NDVI data were calibrated and validated with observed wheat yield averages. The agricultural plots around Karcag, Hungary, were our research area. The relation between Landsat NDVI data and yield was strongest and highest in the total biomass period (R
2 = 0.53–0.54) and the estimation error based on RMSE is between 0.48–0.7 t.ha−1.

Published: May 2021

The research purpose was to develop the basics for silage preparation by vacuuming with the use of flexible polymer containers and estimating silage quality. The analysis of modern systems used for silage preparation and storage showed that the main disadvantages include the high storage and preparation costs, and losses of silage weight and nutrients by 3–25% after opening of storage facilities. To eliminate these disadvantages, the basics for preparing the silage by vacuuming in flexible polymer containers that can be transported and stored with optimum volume have been studied and developed. The study pursuits its goals by observing the changes in density and degree of silage compaction caused by the vacuum pressure and deadweight. A comparative estimation of silage quality indices was conducted by means of chemical analysis of silage specimens. The results show graphical dependencies of changes in silage volume and density at vacuum pressure up to 60 kPa. Moreover, a comparative assessment of quality indices of silage specimens prepared by vacuuming in soft containers, and traditional method using trenches was conducted. The reliability of results for silage storing quality in a vacuum container was achieved by fivefold test repetition within 2 years. Comparison of silage quality indices obtained using vacuum technology and traditional method showed improvement in favour of the proposed method: dry matter by 2.05%; protein by a factor of 1.47; nitrogenous substances by 1.37; starch by 1.56; calcium by 1.83; phosphorus by 2; digestible protein by 1.24; feed unit by 1.31; exchange energy by 1.16, which was achieved thanks to the elimination of succus leakage.
Searching for Success Factors of Agritourism: The Case of Kleve County (Germany)
Authors: Bosmann Mirjam , Hospers Gert-Jan , Reiser Dirk
Published: May 2021

Agritourism is increasing in popularity as more urban residents appreciate the slower paced rural environment and its authenticity. External influences (political crises and pandemics) have recently reduced mobility which makes agritourism an attractive alternative to former more distant holiday destinations. Agritourists are interested in working farms, local production and animal husbandry. Some European regions (e.g., Bavaria and South Tyrol) have successfully developed agritourism whereas the majority of rural regions are left behind. Agritourism diversifies farmers’ business model and increases their income. For our study, we chose Kleve County (Lower Rhine Area, Germany) as an exemplary region for a touristically unknown rural area. Regional opinion leaders, farmers and industry experts were interviewed to share their experiences about factors that could further and contribute to successful development of agritourism. The results of our case study and supplementary market interviews suggest that its success in less known rural regions depends on the geographic location, mutual efforts of local visionary entrepreneurs, regional beneficial networks and on committed political stakeholders to develop a sustainable business model. The results may be useful for other comparable European rural regions to diversify their farming and develop their own business model.
Institutional Provision of Destination Management in the Most Important and in the Crisis Period the Most Vulnerable Regions of Tourism in Slovakia
Authors: Michálková Anna , Gáll Jozef
Published: May 2021

The aim of the presented paper is to examine the specific situation in the institutional provision of tourism in Slovakia with special regard to the most important and in the crisis period the most vulnerable tourism regions, their identification is a partial goal of the paper. With regard to the current crisis period, the survey is supplemented by identifying factors of employment change, focusing mainly on the region's competitiveness in tourism. The importance of regions is assessed in the article on the basis of potential for tourism development, further in terms of their importance for tourism in Slovakia based on tourism performance expressed by the number of overnight stays and on the basis of industry concentration of tourism measured by employment in tourism. We consider the most vulnerable regions to be those that reach the level of specialization in tourism (based on the localization coefficient) and it has a growing tendency. The research results show that the importance of regional competitiveness in tourism for employment change (which is a regional component) is very different despite the established destination management, it is even negative, and in the case of positive figures, it is without an obvious advantage over other factors analyzed in the shift-share analysis. Also, it is possible that the current crisis period caused by measures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic will help to find endogenous solutions to fragmented destination management in the most important and vulnerable tourism regions, or legislative solutions related to the amendment to the Tourism Promotion Act.
Reconciliation of Time Perspectives as a Criterion for Therapy Completion
Authors: Trombini Giancarlo , Trombini Elena , Stemberger Gerhard
Published: May 2021

Giancarlo Trombini presents the continuation of his research on the question of which criteria can be used to assess the progress of therapy in an objectively verifiable way and to make the decision on the completion of therapy. In the first phase of his research, the phenomenological criterion of a qualitative change in the patient’s relations toward the positive and higher complexity was proposed for this purpose. In terms of the working method in analytic therapy, this meant concretely: attention should be paid to what development is shown in the comparison of the relationships that occur in the dream narrative and in the subsequent associations. This criterion was therefore given the name manifest dream/association comparison (MDAC)—comparison between the manifest dream and the subsequent associations. The idea can easily be transferred to those therapy methods, which do not primarily work with reports of dream memories and subsequent associations—also, in other ways of working, it is possible to pay attention, in the way suggested by Trombini, to the qualitative development of the relationships which are thematized by the clients in the course of an hour.

To this first criterion, another phenomenological criterion is now added in the present article: that of the “concluding therapeutic turn” (CTT). If the patient’s development reaches this turn in the course of the therapy in one session, this indicates, according to Trombini, that the therapy can soon be concluded. The fulfillment of this criterion can be recognized by the fact that in the sequence of dream narration and subsequent associations in a session, a relational dynamic toward the positive and higher complexity becomes recognizable and that is, at the same time, connected with a reconciliation of the three temporal reference systems (past, present, and future). The achievement of this CTT indicates that the patient is aware of the changes made in therapy and makes it evident to the therapist that the therapy is nearing completion.
Relational Determination in Interpersonal and Intrapsychic Experience
Authors: Ragsdale Edward S.
Published: May 2021

The task of this article is to review the principle of relational determination, as described by Solomon Asch (1952) which expands over Karl Duncker’s (1939) critique of ethical relativism. Relational determination has much to offer to the therapeutic community first with regard to interpersonal relations and social relations. My main goal is to extend this relational analysis to intrapsychic life, which may expose new potentialities for internal conflict resolution and personal integration, predicated on the cultivation of relational understanding (i.e., recognition of relational determination in organization of conscious experience). But this approach is best illustrated in its application to value differences and conflict across societies, which are typically viewed from the absolutist or relativist perspective.

The principle of relationality casts doubt on elementaristic assumptions common to both (e.g., meaning constancy). Such assumptions lead to some ill-considered conclusions: of irreconcilable moral differences dividing both individuals and groups, deprived of any basis in understanding. Those views fail to consider the contexts underlying the meanings and valuations we impute. When these are taken into account, Duncker’s hypothesis of an invariant relation between meaning and value finds support. Value differences (or changes) need not represent fundamental differences in morality, but instead (factual) differences in understanding of the situation. If so, then value differences may indeed be both understandable and reconcilable. Relational determination reveals this same potentiality with regard to intrapsychic conflict, where the same presumption of irreconcilable differences must be overcome. Work by Erich Neumann provides a valuable depth psychological perspective on this inner conflict, which accords surprisingly well with the relationality principle in particular and field theory in general. From that vantage point, psychological defenses may be recognized as structural properties of yet unreconciled psychical fields. Gestalt theory’s relational view, which aligns well with Neumann’s account of a “new ethic” helps to reveal the processes by which these defensive postures might abate, as value realms that earlier dwelt in hostile opposition develop more of a conscious and respectful relation with each other, as the individual inches toward greater wholeness.
Psychotherapy: The Challenge and Power of Consistency
Authors: Stemberger Gerhard
Published: May 2021

As an introduction to this issue, the article substantiates the possibility and meaningfulness of a coherent theoretical system for psychotherapy, as it is strived for in Gestalt Theoretical Psychotherapy and presented in several articles in this issue. The necessity of consistency in the theoretical assumptions and concepts of a psychotherapy method is not derived from scientific considerations alone, but already arises from the elementary role of consistency in human life. This also results in the requirements for the consistency of theoretical foundations of psychotherapy. It is not fulfilled in a mere internal, logical consistency of its models, but only in the actual fitting together with the critical-phenomenal and naive-phenomenal worlds of the therapists and their clients (in interaction with their “naive psychologies”) in the reality test of life.
Chemical composition of dried Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni leaves and effect of ultrasound-assisted extraction on total steviosides content in extract
Authors: Yen Nguyen Thi Hoang , Quoc Le Pham Tan
Published: May 2021

Introduction: Steviol stevioside, which has been used in the production of food products as a low-calorie sweeten, is one of the main glycoside groups in the leaves of the Stevia plants. It is useful for human health.

Objective: The main objection of the present study was to find out some major chemical compositions of the dried Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni leaves and an effective, affordable, and environmentally friendly method to reach the high extraction yield of total steviosides from them. Therefore, a novel extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), was carried out to extract total steviosides from dried leaves of S. rebaudiana plant with ethanol of 70% (v/v) as a solvent.

Methods: Some major chemical compositions of the dried S. rebaudiana leaves were analyzed according to the AOAC (Association of Official Analytical Chemists) and total steviosides content (TSC) was measured by anthrone-sulphuric acid colorimetric assay with main influencing factors including material/solvent ratio, extraction temperature, and extraction time.

Results: The results referred that some chemical compounds such as protein, lipid, fibre, sugar, etc. existed in this material. The best extraction conditions were the sample/solvent ratio of 1:100 (g/ml), extraction temperature of 75oC, and extraction time of 30 min.

Conclusion: The highest amount of total steviosides content of 8.894 % was obtained at the optimal extraction condition. Consequently, these results demonstrated that the parameters of UAE were applied successfully for producing total glycosides.
Environmental Factors that Influence the Geography of Yemen Leading to Dust and Sand Storms - A Case Study
Authors: Ghalib Wadie Ahmed Mokbel , Mansoor Almoliki Mohammed , Ponnappa Sajan Chimmikuttanda
Published: May 2021

In Yemen, the dust storm is a common phenomenon severely affecting the economy and health. Yemen is located in a semi-desert desert area, where dust and sand storms occur all year round, however they are the most common at summer (from June until the end of September). Coastal areas (Hajjah, Hoddeidah, Taiz, Lahg, Aden, Abyan, Shabwah and Hadramout) and desert areas (Marib and Al Jowf) are affected by dust and sandstorms almost all year round. The western and central governorates of Yemen are mountainous regions, but influenced by dust too. Dust storms in Yemen have an impact on humans, animals, plants and all environmental ecosystems. In this article, we attempted to understand the possible relationship between environmental parameters such as wind temperature, and precipitation, which influence the development of dust and sand storms in and around Yemen. Statistical analysis such as descriptive statistics, T-test, ANOVA one-way test, Tukey test, Levene test, and Correlation test were performed. The statistical analysis confirms that there is a significant correlation between wind, temperature and precipitation at 0.01 and 0.05 levels. The results further depict that environmental factors play a vital role in the formation of dust and sand storm. The results obtained are encouraging and further research will be conducted based on technological evidence.
The Impact of Soil Erosion on the Spatial Distribution of Soil Characteristics and Potentially Toxic Element Contents in a Sloping Vineyard in Tállya, Ne Hungary

Published: May 2021

Soil erosion is a main problem in sloping vineyards, which can dramatically affect soil quality and fertility. The present study aimed to evaluate the spatial patterns of selected physico-chemical soil characteristics and the soil’s potentially toxic element (PTE) contents in the context of erosion. The study was conducted in a 0.4 ha vineyard plot on a steep slope in Tállya, part of the wine-growing region of Tokaj-Hegyalja (Hungary). A total of 20 topsoil samples (0-10 cm) were collected and analysed for PTEs (B, Co, Ba, Sr, Mn, Ni, Cr, Pb, Zn, and Cu), soil pH (deionized water and KCl solution), particle-size distribution, soil organic matter (SOM), (nitrate+nitrite)-N, P2O5, and carbonate content. Among the selected PTEs, only Cu (125±27 mg/kg) exceeds the Hungarian standards set for soils and sediments (75 mg/kg) due to the long-term use of Cu-based pesticides in the vineyard. Examined PTEs are negatively correlated with the sand content of the topsoil, except for Mn, while the significant positive relationship with the clay content shows the role of clay in retaining PTEs in soil. SOM seems to play a minor role in binding PTEs, as Cu is the only element for which a significant correlation with the SOM content can be detected. The spatial distribution maps prepared by inverse distance weighting (IDW) and lognormal kriging (LK) methods show higher PTE contents at the summit and the shoulder of the hillslope and lower contents at the backslope and the footslope zones. The low slope gradients (0-5 degree) and the high contents of the coarse fraction (> 35%) likely protect the soil at the summit and the hillslope’s shoulder from excessive erosion-induced losses. While the reraising PTE contents at the toeslope are likely due to the deposition of fine soil particles (silt and clay). The highest SOM contents at the summit and the toeslope areas, and increased contents of the coarse fraction at the backslope, confirm the effects of soil erosion on the spatial distribution patterns of main soil quality indicators. Overall, the LK outperformed the IDW method in predicting the soil parameters in unsampled areas.

Published: May 2021

Several activities regarding water resources management are dependent on accurate monthly streamflow forecasting, such as flood control, reservoir operation, water supply planning, hydropower generation, energy matrix planning, among others. Most of the literature is focused on propose, compare, and evaluate the forecasting models. However, the decision on forecasting approaches plays a significant role in such models’ performance. In this paper, we are focused on investigating and confront the following forecasting approaches: i) use of a single model for the whole series (annual approach) versus using 12 models, each one responsible for predicting each month (monthly approach); ii) for multistep forecasting, the use of direct and recursive methods. The forecasting models addressed are the linear Autoregressive (AR) and Periodic Autoregressive (PAR) models, from the Box & Jenkins family, and the Extreme Learning Machines (ELM), an artificial neural network architecture. The computational analysis involves 20 time series associated with hydroelectric plants indicated that the monthly approach with the direct multistep method achieved the best overall performances, except for the cases in which the coefficient of variation is higher than two. In this case, the recursive approach stood out. Also, the ELM overcame the linear models in most cases.
Hydrobiochemical balance of total mercury in a forest catchment area at former cinnabar mining locality
Authors: Mačejná Ľudmila , Zacharová Andrea , Ollerová Hana , Škvareninová Jana , Škvarenina Jaroslav
Published: May 2021

We studied the hydrobiochemical balance of total mercury (THg) in a forest ecosystem covering an area affected by mining activity in the past (14th – 18th cent.) in the Kremnické vrchy Mts. (central Slovakia). A reference plot was located in an undisturbed area very close to primeval forest of Badínsky prales natural reserve. We analysed THg in bulk precipitation, throughfall, litterfall, forest floor percolate, forest soil and assimilatory organs of tree species. Results pointed out to high wet mercury deposition at both plots (51 μg·m−2·yr−1 an area near a cinnabar mining (MP1) and 37 μg·m−2·yr−1, in a reference catchment area near the protected primary forest (MP2)) as well as high THg deposition by throughfall (74 μg·m−2·yr−1 and 51 μg·m−2·yr−1, respectively in MP1 and MP2). Litterfall does not represent the main THg flux into forest soil but together with throughfall doubles the THg input compared to open space deposition. Forest ecosystem has ability to capture atmospheric Hg and thus makes new sources of mercury inputs (throughfall and litterfall) into soil.
Future changes in extreme precipitation in central Serbia

Published: May 2021

This paper presents the results of a study focused on the projected changes in extreme precipitation during the 21st century in Central Serbia. The changes are investigated on the basis of historical and modelled data sets of daily precipitation. The historical observation data were recorded at 18 synoptic weather stations in Central Serbia and modelled data were extracted from the regional climate model EBU-POM (Eta Belgrade University-Princeton Ocean Model) under the A1B scenario. The average number of days in a year with precipition ≥ 20, 30, 40 and 50 mm (R20, R30, R40 and R50), the share of daily precipitation above the 20, 30, 40 and 50 mm (P20, P30, P40, P50) in the total annual precipitation and the monthly distribution of these heavy daily precipitation are used as indices of changes in extreme precipitation. These indices, for the three periods 2011–2040, 2041–2070 and 2071–2100, are determined and compared with those obtained for the historical reference period 1961–1990. The results have shown that the main changes in extreme precipitation in Central Serbia will be in their spatial distribution, and the uncertainty of the occurrence of extreme events will decrease. In the future the increase will be more pronounced than the decrease of these indices. We strongly emphasize the benefit of this paper for both the prevention of natural disasters in the study area and for the improvement of the regional climate model.

Published: May 2021

The purpose of this paper is to study the management systems of quality, cost, and deadlines during the environment friendly transition process. Some 102 companies operating in the aeronautics industry in Morocco were surveyed during the period of May 2019 to December 2019. The results showed that about nearly 80% to 96% of the companies confirmed having effective systems for monitoring and improving quality, cost management, and respect for deadlines. But, unfortunately, below 80% of these companies are respecting the environment. The environment is considered as a constraint, and its respect is mainly related to the requirements of standards, certifications and laws Therefore, we find a great shortfall of these Moroccan companies when it comes to respect the environment. The analysis of the results reveals that some indicators imply the desire and predisposition of these companies to go beyond the classic concept of the logistics triptych quality/cost/time to a whole new concept: quality/cost/delay/environment.
The Manuscripts of the Middle English Lay Folks’ Mass Book in Context
Authors: Smith Jeremy J.
Published: May 2021

This paper, part of a long-term programme of research into the forms and functions of the vernacular in late medieval liturgical practice in England, offers a “cultural map” of the Middle English poem known as The Lay Folks’ Mass Book (LFMB). Comparatively little research has been undertaken on LFMB since Simmons’s edition of 1879. However, new developments in the study of manuscript-reception in particular regions of the Middle English-speaking areas of Britain, combined with greater understanding of the cultural dynamics of “manuscript miscellanies” and of medieval liturgical practice, allow us to reconstruct with greater certainty the contexts within which LFMB was copied and used. LFMB survives in nine late medieval copies, but each copy presented a distinct version of the text. This article brings together linguistic, codicological, liturgical, and textual information, showing in detail how the poem was repurposed for a range of different cultural functions. In geographical terms, it seems clear that the work circulated in Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire, in Yorkshire, and in Norfolk, and can thus be related to other texts circulating in those areas. Some versions are likely to have emerged in parochial settings, possibly owned by local priests. There is also evidence that the text could be deployed in monastic contexts, while other versions probably formed part of the reading of pious gentry. What emerges from a study of the codices in which copies of LFMB were transmitted is that a range of shaping sensibilities for these manuscripts may be distinguished; the authorial role in texts such as LFMB was balanced with that of their copyists and audiences. In the manuscripts containing LFMB creativity was negotiated within textually-transmitted communities of practice.
The East Anglian Dialect of English in the World
Authors: Trudgill Peter
Published: May 2021

In the 17th century, the English region of East Anglia contained many of the major population centres of the British Isles, not least Norwich, England’s second city at that time. One might therefore predict that East Anglian dialects of English would have played a major role in determining the nature of the new colonial Englishes which were first beginning to emerge during this period. This paper considers some of the phonological and grammatical features of East Anglian English which can be argued to have been influential in this way.
The Grammaticalization of the Epistemic Adverb Perhaps in Late Middle and Early Modern English
Authors: Molencki Rafał
Published: May 2021

Old and Early Middle English did not yet have modal sentential adverbs of low probability. Old Norse did not have such words, either. From the 13th century onwards first epistemic prepositional phrases of Anglo-Norman origin functioning as modal adverbials consisting of the preposition per/par and nouns such as adventure, case, chance were borrowed into Middle English. In the late 15th century an analogous hybrid form per-hap(s), the combination of the Old French preposition per/par ‘by, through’ and the Old Norse noun hap(p) ‘chance’, both singular and plural, was coined according to the same pattern and was gradually grammaticalized as a univerbated modal sentence adverb in Early Modern English. The Norse root happ- was the source of some other new (Late) Middle English words which had no cognate equivalents in the source language: the adjective happy with its derivatives happily, happiness, etc. and the verb happen.

Together with another new Late Middle English formation may-be, a calque of French peutêtre, perhaps superseded the competing forms mayhap, (modal) happily, percase, peradventure, perchance, prepositional phrases with the noun hap and, finally, per-hap itself in Early Modern English after two centuries of lexical layering or multiple synonymy. The history of perhaps is a clear example of grammaticalization, whereby a prepositional phrase became a modal adverb now also used as a discourse marker. We find here all the typical features of the process: phonetic attrition, decategorization, univerbation, and obligatorification.
Macroeconomic Impact of Pension System Upon Private Pension Funds Scheme. Empirical Evidence from Central and Eastern European Countries
Authors: Dumiter Florin Cornel , Jimon Ștefania Amalia , Balteș Nicolae
Published: May 2021

The significance of retirement savings and private pension funds increased in the latest decades and gathered important amounts of capitals. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the macroeconomic effects of pension systems from an investment perspective in five Central and Eastern European countries. The analyzing process regarding several underlying macroeconomic effects of pension systems started from the premises that there is a strong connection between the structure of pension systems, the national economy and the development of the financial sector. The econometric tests were processed and applied by using pool data regression models and the method Pooled Instrumental Variables (IV) - Two-stage Least Squares (2SLS). The main conclusion highlights that the interest rate at deposits is correlated with the amount of incomes earned by population, inflation rate, severe material deprivation rate and the investment strategy of private pension funds.

We used the last three waves of the European Quality of Life Surveys to analyze the happiness of older workers in Romania and the Visegrád countries. Applying ordinary least squares and ordered logit models we showed that being employed makes people happier ceteris paribus than being unemployed. This effect is the same for younger and older persons in the V4 countries, but there is an extra positive effect for older workers in Romania.

Object and purpose of research. The object of the study is polymer composite materials (PCM) used for manufac-turing hull structures of ships and vessels. The main purpose is to find the ways of fire protection of ships and vessels built from these materials. Materials and methods. The results of experimental studies and standard tests on the fire resistance of PCM structures, as well as methods of heat and mass transfer processes simulation in ship premises during fires, were used to determine the thermal characteristics affecting these structures. Main results. The ways of improving the fire safety of ships and vessels with PCM hull structures are determined. The list of problems to be solved in this area is outlined. Also this study has recommendations to improve the fire protection of the ships being designed, under construction and in operation. Conclusion. The structural PCM used in indigenous practice does not meet the current requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for Maritime Safety for fire protection of high-speed vessels and the requirements for fire protection of Navy ships. Ships that are in service and built using these materials do not provide additional measures to reduce their fire hazard. Fires on such ships can lead to disastrous consequences. It is necessary to solve this problem as soon as possible. The recommendations proposed in this paper on how to solve it, based on a large amount of experimental research, and they have great practical significance.

Object and purpose of research. Mutual inductances are among the main parameters of electrical circuits, and their determination is the most important task for studying the physical processes occurring in them, including the occurrence of electrodynamic forces. Coaxial coils and solenoids are very common part of electrical devices, and finding mutual inductances and electrodynamic forces in them has a great practical importance. Materials and methods. Methods of theoretical electrical engineering are used. Main results. Expressions for mutual inductance are obtained, and they are based on the decomposition of the solenoid into its external and internal parts relative to the end planes of the coil. Conclusion. On the basis of the undertaken analysis, alternative expressions for mutual inductances are obtained.
Unintended Consequences of Interview Faking: Impact on Perceived Fit and Affective Outcomes

Drawing on signalling theory, we propose that use of deceptive impression management (IM) in the employment interview could produce false signals, and individuals hired based on such signals may incur consequences once they are on the job—such as poor perceived fit. We surveyed job applicants who recently interviewed and received a job to investigate the relationship between use of deceptive IM in the interview and subsequent perceived personjob and person-organization fit, stress, well-being, and employee engagement. In a twophase study, 206 job applicants self-reported their use of deceptive IM in their interviews at Time 1, and their perceived person–job and person–organization fit, job stress, affective well-being, and employee engagement at Time 2. Deceptive IM had a negative relationship with perceived person–job and person–organization fit. As well, perceived fit accounted for the relationship between deceptive IM and well-being, employee engagement, and job stress. The findings indicate that using deceptive IM in the interview may come at a cost to employees.

Whiteflies are economically important plant pests that cause damage to crops worldwide. This study aimed to update the status of whiteflies in Jordan by combining the classical morphological identification and the DNA markers using the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (mtCOI) gene. Over the course of three consecutive years, 111 whiteflies were collected from different geographical regions and different plant hosts in Jordan. The results showed that, in addition to Bemisia tabaci, another nine different whitefly species were identified, including two species that were recorded for the first time in Jordan: Africaleurodes coffeacola, and Tetraleurodes neemani. A special focus has been given to economically important plant pests like the B. tabaci species complex. Three different diagnostic techniques were used to identify B. tabaci putative species based on mtCOI gene. All the collected samples of B. tabaci species complex were identified as Middle East–Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1) putative species.

Published: May 2021

In the last two decades, colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals have emerged as a phenomenal research topic due to their size-dependent optoelectronic properties and to their outstanding versatility in many technological applications. In this review, we provide an historical account of
the most relevant computational works that have been carried out to understand atomistically the electronic structure of these materials, including the main requirements needed for the preparation of nanocrystal models that align well with the experiments. We further discuss how the advancement
of these computational tools has affected the analysis of these nanomaterials over the years. We focus our review on the three main families of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals: group II-VI and IV-VI metal chalcogenides, group III-V metal pnictogenides and metal halides, in particular
lead-based halide perovskites. We discuss the most recent research frontiers and outline the future outlooks expected in this field from a computational perspective.
Beszámoló a Fonyód 150 éves présház (homokbánya) és a Sándor utca 26. területén folytatott 10–11. századi temetők sírjainak leletmentéséről
Authors: Magyar Kálmán

This article deals with excavations made in Fonyód between 1996–1998 and in 2001, where we located 10 and 11th century old cemeteries. The first excavation was centered by the sandpit near the 150 year-old press house. Due to nu-merous field works lasted for decades, a large group of burials were almost completely destroyed. We were able to determi-nate its age and characteristics from the skeleton remains and funeral offerings of one grave (S-terminalled lockrings). Dur-ing our other excavation made on a small dune at Sándor street 26, we found a similar cemetary from the 10–11th cen-tury with 54 graves and burial remains. Based on the pottery findings, it was in use by the Romans and later became the funeral site of the early inhabitants of Fonyód. The early Ar-padian cemetary was located on the west side of the mound. The graves were situated westward-eastward mostly without funeral offerings, but in nine cases we recovered notable fin-digs like bronze S-terminalled lockrings, shell necklaces and bronze rings on the annulary bones. We could not find any coffins or traces of bricks in the recovered area. There were many instances of skeleton remains of adolescent or small children beside the adult skeletons – mostly female – which indicate family burials. Furthermore, we recovered skeletons positioned with both arms across the waist. Towards the west, a five meter wide empty tract occured to us where a jar and two kinds of animal bones surfaced – one of a dog and the other possibly of a boar. Considering there were no other find-ings in that area, it might have been a significant place for burial customs or further ceremonial rituals.
