Wroniec, un conte sur l’état de siège en Pologne
Authors: Vandenborre Katia
Published: June 2024

Le présent article propose une analyse de Wroniec (2009) de Jacek Dukaj, un roman-conte sur l’état de siège imposé en République Populaire de Pologne en 1981. L’univers de cette œuvre originale et très moderne fera l’objet d’une étude approfondie afin de décoder la transposition de la réalité historique. Cet examen impliquera une présentation du livre et des explications complètes de son contenu afin de le rendre compréhensible à un public francophone. Il inclut aussi des rappels de faits historiques nécessaires à cette compréhension. Ces bases permettront de déchiffrer l’allégorie centrale de l’œuvre, celle du « Wroniec », créature imaginée par l’auteur pour incarner l’état de siège, en faisant appel à une série de codes culturels. Enfin, la matière analysée sera confrontée au concept de conte de fées afin d’en observer la modernité et l’originalité.
Immotum atque insuperabile fatum : autour de l’Énéide de la fin des Métamorphoses
Authors: Clément-Tarantino Séverine
Published: June 2024

La façon dont Ovide, dans son remake de la prophétie de Jupiter à la fin des Métamorphoses, tend à identifier l’Énéide à un fatum immuable pour réserver ensuite à son œuvre les « libertés » de la fama, incite à réfléchir sur l’appropriation à laquelle l’épopée de Virgile est soumise dans la séquence. Si l’on reconsidère, dans l’Énéide, le fonctionnement métadiégétique de la fama et des fata, l’on se rend compte que la première n’est pas aussi libre qu’il pourrait le sembler, et que les seconds ne sont peutêtre pas aussi immota qu’Ovide (après Jupiter et Junon chez Virgile) peut le prétendre. La « trahison » d’Ovide est néanmoins atténuée, en particulier par le fait que son Jupiter pointe le « déplacement » le plus conséquent des fata de l’Énéide : la transformation de la « grande guerre » qui attendait Énée au Latium en réitération de la guerre civile (du gendre et du beau-père), enrobée d’une réitération de la guerre de Troie.
Le Virgile de Columelle. Une lecture optimiste des Géorgiques
Authors: Bretin-Chabrol Marine
Published: June 2024

Les Géorgiques occupent une place privilégiée dans le traité d’agronomie de Columelle, car l’agronome se pose en émule du poète dans son livre en vers et en continuateur du savant dans ses livres en prose. Mais la référence n’est pas neutre. Par un travail de refonte, sélection, coupe et contextualisation de citations empruntées à certains passages-clefs des Géorgiques (1, 145-146 ; 1, 197- 200), Columelle construit dans son ouvrage une lecture « optimiste » du poème de Virgile. Celle-ci vient étayer son argumentation, imprégnée par un stoïcisme humaniste proche de celui de Panétius, selon laquelle le travail humain, guidé par la ratio, a la capacité de maîtriser durablement la nature.
Système et langage chez Hegel à la lumière du concept logique de « paraconsistance »
Authors: Lejeune Guillaume
Published: June 2024

Vouloir, à l’instar de Hegel, présenter le discours de l’absolu tel qu’il est en soi et pour soi pose relativement à l’instance d’énonciation trois problèmes: le statut de l’auteur, la place du lecteur et la modalité du message. Même en faisant abstraction du porteur et du destinataire du discours qui, par leur présence, relativiseraient l’absoluité du discours, on voit mal comment l’absolu pourrait se réduire à un discours contextuel sans se finitiser. Il importe alors de revenir sur l’idée hégélienne de discours absolu. A défaut de traduire entièrement la spécificité de celui-ci, le concept de paraconsistance nous met sur la voie d’un type d’inférence logique, à partir duquel l’on va pouvoir comprendre le discours hégélien non comme référence absolue, mais plutôt comme autoréférence absolue. A partir de là, il apparaît que les difficultés du discours hégélien ne sont pas dues à une prétention excessive, mais ne sont autres que celles qu’engage la communication de l’expérience du sens.
L’humain, cet être interactivement prédisposé ? Une histoire du déterminisme de l’inné en génétique humaine
Authors: Perbal Laurence
Published: June 2024

Cet article propose de retracer l’histoire du couple dichotomique de l’inné et de l’acquis, au XXe siècle et en génétique humaine, grâce aux concepts de déterminisme et de prédisposition. Plus spécifiquement, la génétique humaine a évolué d’un déterminisme essentialiste, faisant des facteurs innés les causes ultimes de la nature humaine, vers un déterminisme probabiliste, reconnaissant l’importance des facteurs environnementaux et l’exprimant en termes de prédisposition génétique. Cette évolution épistémologique se comprend grâce à l’histoire des liens entre génétique et eugénisme aux USA au début du XXe siècle, de la génétique médicale en Angleterre dès 1920 et du développement de la biologie moléculaire à partir des années 1950. Ils expliquent la popularité du déterminisme de l’inné. Mais le XXIe siècle voit se développer une nouvelle ère épistémologique, l’ère post-génomique, qui tend à dépasser théoriquement et concrètement l’opposition entre inné et acquis. La génétique humaine ne se veut plus principalement innée-centrée, et nous verrons qu’il est désormais question de prédisposition interactive.
La construction nationale en Afrique comme utopie de la justice, une lecture rawlsienne du nationalisme congolais
Authors: Tshilumba Gilbert
Published: June 2024

Panafricanisme, négritude, consciencisme, socialisme et nationalisme n’ont pas réussi à placer le continent noir sur la voie du développement. Transformés en un mythe fondateur d’autocratie, ils ont débouché sur le syndrome de l’Etat manqué, inhibant l’idéal démocratique et la construction nationale qui en dépend. Le nationalisme congolais, miné par la lutte d’influence que se livrent l’allégeance tribalo-ethnique opposée à l’allégeance nationale citoyenne, ne peut-il pas se transformer en utopie de la justice, devenir un nationalisme démocratique rationalisé pour construire un Etat-nation viable à l’image de la société bien ordonnée de John Rawls ? Car au-delà du culturalisme et de l’économisme, « les principes d’égale liberté et de solidarité reviennent à des intellections morales dont rien ne permet de dire qu’elles seraient réservées à un certain stade de développement des sociétés : les valeurs de liberté et d’égalité peuvent être ressenties et investies par tous ».

Urban Flood Management in Metropolitan Cities of India
Authors:   Student, Faculty of Architecture & Planning, AKTU, Lucknow, Upadhyay Ashutosh
Published: June 2024

To have a sustainable development, it is essential to incorporate the idea of resilience into the planning of our cities in the fast-changing world of increased urbanization, vulnerability, and resilience. A system's vulnerability is its susceptibility to, and inability to withstand, the negative consequences of climate change. A system, community, or society's resilience is its capacity to withstand, absorb, adapt to, and recover from the consequences of risks. In India, floods rank among the deadliest natural calamities. Urban flooding poses a serious risk to Indian cities. Planning a city without a robust resilience strategy to cope from disasters is equivalent to wasting resources and putting people, infrastructure, assets, and economy at risk. When rivers and streams overflow their banks and flood the nearby low-lying areas, known as the natural floodplains, it results in fluvial flooding. Pluvial flooding is a disastrous occurrence that occurs when rainfall exceeds the capacity of drainage systems, submerging land, or property in a developed environment, especially in regions with higher population densities (like cities). Keywords: Spatial planning, Sponge cities, Pluvial flooding, Fluvial Flooding, Flood Vulnerability Index
The Case Law of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia Concerning Migration and Asylum Issues
Authors: Ofak Lana
Published: June 2024

This study analyses the case law of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia on migration and asylum issues initiated after Croatia acceded to the European Union. After the introduction (Sec.1), the study provides an overview of the relevant sources of migration and asylum laws (Sec. 2). The central part of the study (Sec. 3) analyses the legal reasoning of the Constitutional Court, which shows the change in its approach towards applying more significant standards of protection guaranteed by the EU Law and the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, especially regarding the principle of ex nunc evaluation of the and the duty to ensure that the receiving third country is safe. The study also shows that further improvements in practice are required, as indicated by the cases against Croatia lodged before the European Court of Human Rights and other international human rights bodies concerning the issue of illegal pushbacks (Sec. 4). The study ends with main conclusions relating to the Constitutional Court’s role in safeguarding asylum seekers’ human rights as guaranteed by the EU law and the European Convention (Sec. 5). The conclusion is that the Constitutional Court follows the applicable case law of the Court of Justice of the EU and the European Court of Human Rights. However, in some cases there seems to have been a lack of opportunity for asylum seekers to exhaust legal remedies against the decisions or actions taken by Croatian public authorities and ultimately access the Constitutional Court.
Asylum and Refugee Issues in the Case Law of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia
Authors: Cvikl Lana , Flander Benjamin
Published: June 2024

This study examines the role of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia in addressing asylum and refugee issues. It examines the constitutional and statutory regulations surrounding international protection, the procedure for the recognition of and statistical data on international protection, and the legal remedies available in asylum and refugee cases, with a particular focus on petitions for reviewing the constitutionality of laws and constitutional complaints. Further, it presents a comprehensive analysis of the relevant Constitutional Court’s case law, specifically concerning refugees, asylum seekers and individuals seeking subsidiary international protection. The findings reveal that the relevant case law can be categorised into two segments: those that deal with the successful challenges of statutory provisions, and those that pertain to the constitutional complaints of asylum seekers. Additionally, the Court frequently cites decisions from the European Court of Human Rights, however, less frequently the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union. However, mentioning the case law of other countries is extremely rare. None of the Constitutional Court’s decisions concerning Slovenian constitutional identity are directly linked to refugee, asylum, or international protection issues. Nonetheless, it is plausible that the Court may change its approach to these areas in the near future.

External Interferences Detection by Examples in LTE Networks for 4G and 5G Networks Efficient Deployments
Authors: Deussom Djomadji Eric Michel , Petmegni Duplex Mbieda , FOUBA Bienvenue Arsene Roger , TONYE Emmanuel
Published: June 2024

The relentless growth in wireless traffic forces mobile operators to aggressively increase network capacity to meet subscriber demand. However, spectrum availability is not growing at the same rate as traffic; in fact spectrum resources are in markedly short supply, and, as a result, their cost remain high. The reuse of existing spectrum is a key point for network expansion through capacity densification. But this spectrum reused for network capacity expansion faces the problem of interference in general and external interference in particular which are most often very difficult to detect, identify and eliminate. In this article, we focus on the case of external interferences and on the basis of measurements and experiences obtained in the field, we propose methods and procedures to help identify external interferences and remove them. At the end of the paper a set of recommendations are proposed in other to reduce and cancel external interferences.
Resultados de una intervención educativa para activar a los pacientes en su seguridad
Authors: Añel Rodríguez Rosa María , Díaz Gorriti Virginia
Published: June 2024

Objetivo: evaluar los efectos de una intervención educativa en la activación y capacitación de los/las pacientes para participar en su seguridad durante la asistencia.

Método: investigación cualitativa mediante entrevistas personales semiestructuradas a 12 de las y los 17 pacientes que recibieron la intervención educativa al entrar en lista de espera para intervención quirúrgica de traumatología. Seguimiento de las/ los pacientes y entrevista al final del proceso asistencial. Grabación y transcripción del contenido de las entrevistas. Análisis cualitativo de las transcripciones, anotaciones de la entrevistadora y cuadernos de notas de los/las pacientes.

Resultados: el grado de activación al inicio del proceso varía según el nivel de estudios y las experiencias previas de cada paciente. Otros factores, como la actitud y respuesta de las/los profesionales, el ámbito asistencial y las circunstancias en las que se produce el encuentro clínico, modulan la participación del paciente en su seguridad. La capacidad del paciente para actuar como barrera de seguridad no es innata: se puede adquirir, de forma natural, con la experiencia, o de forma inducida, mediante actividades educativas. Todas las personas mejoraron su nivel de activación y capacitación, independientemente de su situación de partida.

Conclusiones: los y las pacientes pueden actuar como barrera y muestran mucho interés en hacerlo. La información y la formación son imprescindibles como primer paso para su activación. El empoderamiento no se alcanza en todos los casos y, una vez alcanzado, no se mantiene estable. Conocer y tener en cuenta los factores que modulan la capacidad de las personas en tratamiento para participar nos permitirá ser más eficaces y eficientes en el desarrollo de futuras intervenciones educativas.

O nível de conforto do gato em seu ambiente está intrinsecamente ligado à sua saúde física, bem-estar emocional e comportamento. O conhecimento básico das necessidades específicas de cada espécie ao nível ambiental e da maneira como os gatos interagem com o meio ambiente fornecerão uma base para atender a esses requisitos fundamentais. Necessidades ambientais: Atender às necessidades do ambiente é essencial (não opcional) para o bem-estar ideal do gato. Essas necessidades ambientais incluem o que está relacionado não apenas ao ambiente físico do gato (dentro da casa e, para quem tem acesso ao exterior, também fora ou na clínica veterinária), mas também no que diz respeito à interação sociais, incluindo respostas ao contato humano. O objetivo geral da pesquisa é apresentar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o bem-estar do gato doméstico. O campo do bem-estar animal é complexo e envolve a aplicação de uma série de indicadores científicos para determinar como um animal enfrenta situações e como se sente. A ética animal é uma abordagem filosófica para determinar como devemos tratar os animais aplicando julgamentos baseados em valor. Os animais de companhia desempenham funções importantes para as pessoas em todo o mundo, inclusive como animais de companhia e assistência, e o papel do veterinário na melhoria de seu bem-estar é importante para a profissão e para a sociedade em geral.

O relacionamento professor-aluno é importante para o desenvolvimento do discente, por isso é interessante saber quais são as formas abordadas pelo docente na avaliação e ensino-aprendizagem em sala de aula. Dessa forma, objetivou-se investigar como se dá a relação professor-aluno no ensino superior, e propor programas que venham a solidificar tal relação para que a partir disso, o processo de ensino aprendizagem se torne efetivo. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida no formato qualitativo e quantitativo. Os sujeitos participantes foram 50 estudantes ou concluintes do ensino superior. Assim os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário digital, um aplicativo de gerenciamento de pesquisas (Google Forms). Foram analisadas separadamente através de teste Qui-quadrado para 3 categorias distintas, idade, gênero e escolaridade. Conforme os resultados, verificou-se que 60% dos estudantes alegam que o motivo dá má relação entre o professor e o aluno é o autoritarismo. No intervalo do discurso professor e aluno, que se tem uma concepção do conhecimento, assim entende-se o processo, e o desenvolvimento dessa relação. Portanto, os dados indicam que a maior parte dos assédios em sala de aula, apontam para existência de assédios em sala de aula, provocados por professores.

REINTERPRETATION OF IMAGES FROM DOSTOEVSKY’S NOVEL CRIME AND PUNISHMENT IN RUSSIAN ROCK POETRY
Authors: LOCHMELIS E.R.
Published: June 2024

Russian rock poets focus on Dostoevsky’s novel Crime and Punishment and its characters: the old woman pawnbroker, Svidrigailov and Raskolnikov. The hero of rock poetry lives in the initially given anti-space, where the state is a well-organized structure that exists due to the suppression of personality. The classic interpretation of the novel’s idea - the fall and subsequent resurrection of the human soul - is impossible for the rock poet, who is painfully focused on the root cause of social injustice, symbolically embodied in the ‘eternal’ image of the old woman pawnbroker. The emphasized motive of her immortality makes the conflict of personality and the existing system tragically insoluble. The ‘self’ of the lyrical hero coincides with the consciousness of Raskolnikov. The main character of the novel turns out to be only ‘one of many’, any of those who decide to challenge the system - and lose. The moral meaning of the novel is reinterpreted: it only maintains the existing order, showing the impossibility of struggle, because the crime turns against the rebel himself, who is not able to withstand the torment of conscience. There is a redistribution of the ‘weight’ between the characters. The heightened experience of the meaningless struggle with the existing world order and social injustice pushes rock poets to Dostoevsky’s anti-heroes, in particular to Svidrigailov, who becomes an independent tragic figure. He, like everyone, is sinful, in his extreme cynicism he is even deprived of the opportunity to deceive himself - and the last thing remaining for him is bitter irony of himself, life and even the existential problem of human afterlife. At the same time, Sonya Marmeladova - the moral antipode of Raskolnikov - is mentioned in the texts only once, since she is not included in the conflict of personality and society, but acts as its victim, like Raskolnikov himself (therefore, this place in the system of characters is already occupied by a hero, whose nature is identical to that of the rock poet, more expressive, and similar to the demonic images of gloomy, gothic romanticism).
TEMPLE OF THE SUN BY I.A. BUNIN AND SYRIAN STORIES BY S.S. KONDURUSHKIN: INTERSECTION POINTS
Authors: SHAVLINSKY M.S.
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the personal and creative connections between Ivan Bunin and the forgotten writer Stepan Semenovich Kondurushkin (1874-1919). Known cases of communication between writers are described in detail: correspondence, meetings, as well as their reviews of each other’s work. From 1898 to 1903 Kondurushkin worked as a teacher in the Middle East at the invitation of the Imperial Orthodox Palestinian Society. In 1901-1902 Kondurushkin began to write the first journalistic and literary texts about the East. Bunin traveled to the East in 1903, 1907, 1910-1911 and 1913, to publish the first sketches of the future book Temple of the Sun - since 1908. Both authors carefully read each other’s works. The article compares the two-volume collection of stories by Kondurushkin Syrian Stories (1908-1910) and Bunin’s Temple of the Sun (1917). Both authors speak about the East in the words of sacred texts and model a certain mythological space, where they are not just observers, but also participants in the process - they experience the myth together with the acting heroes, and are also endowed with the ability to act within the myth. In addition, both authors are characterized by the exploitation of the metaphor ‘East is the grave’, in which the problem of ‘time’ as a category is leveled and reduced solely to understanding everything in the category of ‘space’. The history of the East after the time of myth does not exist for the writers, and therefore the East is ‘buried’ under the slabs of sacred texts. Special attention is paid to the representation of the image of Moses.

In this article, we discuss the conclusions of the project on digitizing and translating the Historical-Etymological dictionary of Ossetic by V.I. Abaev, which has been carried out by the authors since 2020. The entries of the original include information of several kinds: Russian translations of an Ossetic word, related examples, usage and etymological notes. The etymological notes are usually free-form texts with a large number of cited forms from other languages (cognates, loanword sources, etc.). We argue for maximal preservation and thorough encoding of this information when creating a digital database. The optimal format for such purposes is XML markup, more specifically its variant intended for annotating text documents, TEI (Text Encoding Initiative, https://tei-c.org/). For digitizing the dictionary, we created a modification of this markup language, a module for Oxygen XML Editor, and a set of CSS files that ensure maximum similarity between our layout and the original. The same combination of XML and CSS allows generating the print version of the dictionary using the Prince typesetting system (https://www. princexml.com/) without any additional processing. For ease of search and access, we suggest supplementing the XML sources with a relational database automatically created from the lexical entries. In our project, this database serves as the source for the online interface of the dictionary (https://ossetic.iranic.space), powered by the OnLex platform [Makarov et al. 2022]. Hence, the project combines the features of several database types, which fully corresponds to the multi-faceted character of the original dictionary. We hope that our experience can be used for other digital lexicographic projects.
THEODOR KORSCH’S ANCIENT GREEK AND LATIN
WORKS IN HIS SCHOLARLY AND CREATIVE ACTIVITY
Authors: Davydov Tycho
Published: June 2024

The paper deals with the sources of the biography of Theodor Korsch,
Professor of the Department of Classics of the Imperial Moscow University, which
are collected and analyzed (Theodor Korsch’s autobiography, works by Apollo
Hrusch ka, Nikolai Dmitriev, Anatoly Bogdanov, the Baskakovs (Nikolai and Nikolai), Vera Smyshlyaeva, etc.); the main milestones of Korsch’s life as an academic are
described; his close connection with the Moscow University is emphasized. The
paper demonstrates that Ancient Greek and Latin composition was an integral part
of Korsch’s scholarly and creative activity and allowed him to establish the connection with the Ancient tradition. At the same time, Korsch cannot be classified as the
type of a pedantic classicist often portrayed in the popular culture of the time
(v. Chekhov): on the contrary, he was always characterized by scientific enthusiasm
and Anacreontic humor. Despite the fact that Korsch can be described as half-forgotten, many prominent philologists recognized his merits as an academic and a
poet (Sergei Sobolevsky, Jozef Ĳsewijn, etc.), noting Korsch’s extraordinary giftedness
and the versatility of his talent. The second part of the paper analyzes the peculiarities of both Korsch’s artistic works and scientific papers in Ancient Greek and
Latin. In order to accomplish this task, archive materials from the Manuscript Department of the Russian State Library, the Archives of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Rare Books and Manuscripts Department of the Science Library of
Lomonosov Moscow State University are involved. Special attention is paid to Ἐφημερίς (1860–1862), Korsch’s student diary, and the only published collection of his
original poems and translations in Ancient Greek and Latin called Στέφανος (1886).
CHANGES IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT PRICES IN POLAND DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Gruziel Kinga , Mikuła Aneta , Maśniak Jacek
Published: June 2024

The article analyzed the level and changes in prices of selected agricultural products in Poland during the COVID-19 pandemic. The scope of the analysis included data for the years 2018-2022. Central Statistical Office data on the purchase and prices of agricultural products and the consumer price index (CPI) were used. Data on purchasing prices included average annual and monthly prices for products paid to agricultural producers by purchasing entities (commercial, industrial and agricultural). The prices of carefully selected agricultural products were analyzed – three from animal production and three from plant production, i.e. pigs, poultry, cow milk and potatoes, which constitute the basis of the household consumption basket, and rye and wheat, as the basic raw materials of the food industry. In 2021-2022, the purchase prices of agricultural products, calculated as an arithmetic average, increased annually. Analyzing price changes expressed by the m/m index and the price dispersion measure, greater dynamics and, potatoes and pigs. These phenomena were reported on a larger scale in 2021-2022. Prices of selected agricultural products and the value of the price index of consumer goods and services showed similar directions of changes. Agricultural product prices and CPI values were relatively stable in 2018-2019. The highest prices of selected agricultural products, their dispersion, changes expressed in amounts and percentages, as well as CPI values, were recorded in 2021-2022. The values of seasonality indices of purchase prices for agricultural products indicated the greatest variability concerning the average prices in the season, taking the example of potato purchase prices.

This work presents the relationship between road infrastructure and the development of enterprises in Poland. The aim of the study was to assess the differences in the density of the hard surface road network and the development of enterprises, as well as the impact of the density of the hard surface road network on the development of enterprises in Polish voivodeships in 2012-2021. For this purpose, the structure and dynamics of changes in the density of the hard surface road network and the entrepreneurship rate in Poland were calculated. The relationship between the density of the hard surface road network and the entrepreneurship index was also determined. Data collected in the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office were used for the analyses. The analysis included the length of hard surface roads per 100 km2 and the total number of economic entities registered in the REGON system per 10,000 inhabitants of working age. An increase in the density of the hard surface road network and the entrepreneurship rate was observed, but the level and pace of changes in individual Polish voivodeships varied. The highest density of the hard surface road network was recorded in three voivodeships: Śląskie, Małopolskie and Świętokrzyskie. The highest value of the entrepreneurship index in the analyzed years was recorded in the Masovian Voivodeship. A detailed analysis of Polish voivodeships allowed us to observe a positive correlation between the density of the hard surface road network and the entrepreneurship rate in Poland in the analyzed period. The strongest positive relationship was between the density of hard surface roads and the entrepreneurship rate in the Masovian Voivodeship.
Older people's motives for participation in senior clubs. On the example of research in rural environments in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship
Authors: Witkowska-Paleń Anna
Published: June 2024

The article presents preliminary results of research conducted among participants of senior clubs. The aim of this article is to try to answer the question of what are the motives for older people's participation in senior clubs. The data from surveys carried out in nine senior clubs in rural environments in the north-eastern part of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship. The research covered 131 seniors. The statistical analysis of research results proved that the main reasons for older people joining senior clubs are: the desire to make new friends with people of a similar age, as well as the desire to spend spare time in an active way and the need to acquire a new knowledge.The research has also proven that the level of education of respondents differentiates their declared reasons for joining senior clubs. Seniors with at least secondary education want to integrate with other older people and to develop and deepen their knowledge more often than respondents with a lower level of education. Seniors with vocational education mainly want to spend their spare time actively. Seniors with primary education are motivated more often than other respondents by loneliness and a lack of ideas on how to manage their spare time. Research on the motives for older people's participation in senior clubs may have not only cognitive but also practical value. They may be useful for institutions implementing activation programs for older people in local communities, especially when the problem is to properly motivate older people to participate in this type of initiatives.

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum [L.]) yield is dependent on retention of first position bolls on lower sympodial branches; however, fruiting forms can abscise due to a multitude of physiological stresses or insect feeding. Fruit loss results in taller plants as energy devoted to fruit production is redirected to vegetative growth. Plant growth regulator (PGR) use has become common in cotton production systems in the U.S. PGR applications have been shown to reduce plant height; however, yield responses due to PGR application are variable. Due to insect pressure associated with the mid-southern growing region, a better understanding of PGR management is needed in the presence of fruit loss during the floral period of cotton. Field research was conducted in 2012 and 2013 at four locations in Mississippi. Flower bud and fruiting structures were hand removed at first bloom at the following rates: 0, 50 and 100%. Mepiquat pentaborate was applied immediately after flower bud or fruiting structure removal at the following application rates: 0.06, 0.11, 0.17, and 0.23 kg ai ha-1. An untreated check was included for comparison purposes. As the level of flower bud and fruiting structure removal increased, plant height, number of mainstem nodes, and nodes above the cracked boll also increased. Lint yield was similar when comparing the untreated and the 50% removal rate; with both yielding significantly greater than the 100% removal rate. Generally, as PGR application rate increased, plant height, number of mainstem nodes, and nodes above cracked boll decreased.
Battery Condenser System Particulate Emission Factors for Cotton Gins: Particle Size Distribution Characteristics
Authors: Whitelock Derek , Buser Michael , Boykin Clif , Holt Gregory

This report is part of a project to characterize cotton gin emissions from the standpoint of total particulate stack sampling and particle size analyses. In 2006 and again in 2013, the United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a more stringent National Ambient Air Quality Standard for particulate matter with nominal diameter less than or equal to 2.5 µm (PM2.5). This created an urgent need to collect additional cotton gin emissions data to address current regulatory issues, because EPA AP-42 cotton gin PM2.5 emission factors were limited. In addition, current EPA AP-42 emission factor quality ratings for cotton gin PM10 (particulate matter with nominal diameter less than or equal to 10 µm) data are questionable, being extremely low. The objective of this study was to characterize particulate emissions for battery condenser systems from cotton gins across the cotton belt based on particle size distribution analysis of total particulate samples from EPA-approved stack sampling methods. Average measured PM2.5, PM6, and PM10 emission factors based on the mass and particle size analyses of EPA Method 17 total particulate filter and wash samples from six gins (17 total test runs) were 0.00036 kg/227-kg bale (0.00078 lb/500-lb bale), 0.0042 kg/bale (0.0093 lb/bale), and 0.0078 kg/bale (0.017 lb/bale), respectively. The battery condenser system particle size distributions were characterized by an average mass median diameter of 24.5 µm (aerodynamic equivalent diameter). Based on system average emission factors, the ratio of PM2.5 to total particulate was 1.11%, PM6 to total particulate was 13.2%, and PM10 to total particulate was 24.3%.
Cotton Half-Seed Selection Strategy for Gossypol and Its Plus Isomer

Successful breeding programs optimize time and resources to produce elite lines. Selecting individual plants in the F2 generation is an efficient strategy if the trait is highly heritable and nondestructive methods exist to analyze the seed. Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seed has limited uses because of gossypol, a toxic compound found in the seed. Gossypol exists in two enantiomeric forms with the (+) less toxic than the (−) form. Reducing gossypol or increasing the (+) enantiomer in the seed would increase the amount that could be fed to livestock, chicken, or fish. Rapid, cost-effective methods were developed to measure (+) and (−) gossypol in the cotyledon (chalazal) half of a seed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a reduced scale. Techniques were also developed to propagate the embryo (micropylar) half of the seed. The techniques were used to develop elite lines with varied gossypol levels produced one year earlier than possible with more conventional breeding strategies. The half-seed methods combined with a modified HPLC gossypol assay provided a simple, cost-effective method to breed for modified gossypol content and enantiomer composition. These methods can be combined with other testing or evaluation techniques to further optimize selection efficiency.

Cotton yield is adversely affected by various stresses including salinity. Genetic variation in salt tolerance is often evaluated in potting soil media irrigated with saline solutions but not a field soil. This study evaluated the efficacy of screening four introgressed Upland genotypes from a backcross Gossypium hirsutum L. × G. barbadense L. inbred line population grown in two soils, i.e., an organic farm loam soil or a conventional farm clay soil. The genotypes were treated with NaCl for three wk at concentrations of 0 or 200 mM starting at the second true leaf stage. Chlorophyll content and fluorescence, plant height, leaf length, main stem node number and internode length, shoot biomass, and number of fruiting sites at three, six and nine week intervals (WT) were measured. Significant genotypic variation at three and six WT was observed, suggesting that salt tolerance screening in early cotton establishment is optimal. The salt treatment had negative effects on all growth traits except chlorophyll content and fluorescence. The organic farm loam soil amended with dairy manure had higher pre-treatment salinity content than the conventional farm clay, resulting in greater initial growth suppression at zero WT. However, the manure-amended soil showed less reduction in vegetative and reproductive growth after more prolonged salt treatment, suggesting that more scrutiny may be needed in soils treated with carbon-based fertilizers. The lack of genotype by soil or treatment interactions suggests that soil type had little bearing in screening cotton genotypes for salt tolerance and that control (non-saline) treatments may not be needed for cotton salt tolerance screening. Finally, this pot study demonstrates that three to six weeks of salt treatments after the second true leaf stage is an adequate duration of time to screen for cotton salt tolerance.

Fusarium wilt is an important and widespread disease of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. and Gossypium barbadense L.) caused by several races and genotypes of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum W.C. Snyder & H.N. Hans (FOV). A two-year survey (2012-2013) was conducted to assess the distribution of the fungus, and in particular FOV race 4, throughout the United States (U.S.) Cotton Belt. Partial sequences of the translation elongation factor (EF-1α) region of FOV cultured from symptomatic cotton plants were compared to a database of sequences of known genotypes. Five nominal races of FOV, races 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8, and four previously recognized southeastern genotypes, LA108, LA110, LA112, and LA127/140, were identified. Representative isolates of each were pathogenic on cotton in greenhouse assays. A unique genotype of FOV, MDS-12, which was characterized with additional sequencing of the phosphate permease-like protein, β-tubulin, and intergenic spacer regions, was identified in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Georgia. FOV race 4 was not detected outside of California.
