Coronaphobia and Coping among the Bereaved: The Mediating Role of Gardening during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: De los Santos Janet Alexis A. , Daiz Bryan G. , Rosales Ezequiel L.
Published: April 2022

Background: There are growing reports on the benefits of gardening on physical and mental health especially during lockdowns, but very limited studies presented how this affects a person’s fear of COVID-19 and coping from grief and loss.Purpose: This study aimed to assess the mediating effects of gardening on coronaphobia and bereavement coping.Methods: This study utilised a cross-sectional design using self-report scales. A total of 200 participants were selected through referral sampling following a set of criteria. Both researcher-made and standardized questionnaires were utilized in the collection of data. Multiple linear regression was utilized to analyse association between the study variablesResults: Results revealed that gardening has significant partial mediating effects in the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and coping (B=-0.078, z=-3.55, p=0.001). Fear of COVID-19 negatively affects gardening (β=-0.157, p=0.001), while gardening positively affects coping (β=0.497, p=0.001). Nevertheless, the results also indicate that even accounting for the mediating role of gardening, fear of COVID-19 still has a negative impact to coping (β=0.148, p=0.001).Conclusion: Gardening is an adaptive practice in ameliorating stress and improving a person’s resilience and bereavement coping. This study adds to the body of knowledge on the benefits of gardening particularly on its mediating role between fear of COVID-19 and bereavement coping. Gardening activities as a complementary intervention may be recommended to bereaved individuals to help them improve coping and grief.
Polarimetric linear absolute position encoder
Authors: Johnson Mark
Published: April 2022

Optical encoders based on measurement of the axis-angle of linear polarizers offer high resolution and moderate accuracy, but are usually restricted to rotary measurement. We show that annular polymer sheet polarizer materials can be sheared into rectangular tapes, with a polarizing axis that varies linearly along the tape. This makes possible the construction of polarimetric linear absolute position encoders. We demonstrate also sheared polymer birefringent retarders, which function similarly, potentially with cost and size-flexibility advantages.
A translanguaging and trans-semiotizing perspective on subject teachers’ linguistic and pedagogical practices in EMI programme
Authors: Gu Mingyue Michelle , Lee Chi-Kin John , Jin Tan
Published: April 2022

English as a medium of instruction (EMI), as a major agenda of language policy and planning and characterizing internationalization of higher education, has been increasingly adopted in global contexts. EMI teachers’ language and teaching practices in situated classroom contexts and the possible pedagogical challenges they encounter have not gained sufficient research attention in relation to the expansion of EMI. This qualitative study explored the experiences of nine EMI teachers from different disciplines in Chinese universities through investigating their linguistic and pedagogical practices in EMI teaching, the challenges they encounter, and how they co-ordinate semiotic resources with the affordance of the EMI context. The findings suggested that the teachers a) achieved professional development when developing different teaching materials for and perspectives on the same phenomenon to facilitate the understanding of students from various backgrounds; b) co-ordinated semiotic resources with an affordance of the EMI context to facilitate teaching, with the understanding that language is not merely language, but also a factor influencing knowledge construction, a lens for interpreting knowledge, and a part of the event or issue; and, c) attempted to integrate content/language in learning, despite lacking CLIL-related professional training. The implications for language policy and EMI programme development are discussed.
Incenter of triangle as a stationary point
Authors: Giorgadze Grigori , Khimshiashvili Giorgi
Published: April 2022

We show that the incenter of an isosceles triangle is a stable equilibrium point
of the electrostatic potential of certain point charges placed at its vertices.
To this end, explicit formulas for these charges are given and the hessian of their
electrostatic potential is computed. The behavior of this hessian in a family of triangles
with the given inscribed and circumscribed circles is investigated and its extremal values
are computed. As an application, we prove that each point in the unit disc is a stable
equilibrium point of a certain triple of point charges on its boundary, which yields an explicit
scenario of robust electrostatic control in Euclidean discs. In conclusion, several examples
are presented which show that analogous problems are interesting and feasible for convex
quadrilaterals.

Published: April 2022

Objectives

Gestational diabetes (GDM) complications affect maternal and fetus in utero. GDM’s vascular dysfunction showed inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) alteration and was linked to the higher production of nitrogen species, leading to diabetic embryopathy. Ocimum basilicum (O. basilicum) has been reported for its anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects. Thus, the present study investigates the anti-diabetic effect, lipid-lowering effect, and iNOS expression in GDM animal models treated with O. basilicum extract.

Experimental procedures

Four groups of pregnant rats consist of control and GDM groups. One GDM group was set for control positive. Two GDM groups were treated with O. basilicum extract in two doses (100 and 200 mg/kg BW) for 14 days. Blood glucose of all groups was observed at 72 h after STZ injection and 14 days after administration of O. basilicum extract. Lipid profile and iNOS expression using real-time PCR were measured afterward.

Results

O. basilicum extract lowered blood glucose levels in both doses, from 262.60 mg/dL±6.89–136.80 mg/dL ± 15.6 mg/dL and 113.20 mg/dL±5.25 mg/dL. Total cholesterol, LDL and triglyceride showed a reduction, especially in 200 mg/kg BW dose extract from 122.37 mg/dL ± 14.84 mg/dL, 69.75 mg/dL±3.78 mg/dL and 137.51 mg/dL ± 8.12–74.64 mg/dL±8.71 mg/dL, 40.26 mg/dL±3.31 mg/dL and 87.57 mg/dL±6.29 mg/dL, respectively. iNOS expression downregulated in both doses, from 2.17±0.39 to 0.94±0.3 and 0.41±0.08.

Conclusions

This study showed that O. basilicum extract has a potential therapeutic activity in lowering blood glucose, improved lipid profile, and downregulating iNOS in GDM.

A novel strategy to enhance the quality of service (QoS) for data center traffic in elastic optical networks
Authors: Gupta Rajat , Aggarwal Mona , Ahuja Swaran
Published: April 2022

Elastic optical networks (EONs) offer tremendous benefits to deal with the exponential increase of the data center traffic. The granularity offered in spectrum allocation supports efficient management of available bandwidth and accommodates multiple traffic to be routed through common links. However, this brings the inherent challenges of routing and spectrum allocation (RSA) constraints. This becomes more complex for elastic optical data center networks (EODCNs), wherein multiple requests arrive at the same time, requiring identical or different bandwidths and each request may have the same or different destination and paths. Also, data requested by different users could be of varying importance levels. Under such a scenario, maintaining the quality of service (QoS) by minimizing the probability of traffic failure and bandwidth blocking is a major task for service providers. To address these problems, we propose an enhanced methodology using path prediction and link-state analysis for efficient allocation of frequency slots and reuse of bandwidth for data centers connected through EONs. Our proposed strategy intents to minimize the number of blocked requests due to non-availability of resources and reduce the failure probability. We introduce here the concept of connectivity degree and Kuhn-Munkres multi-objective optimization for spectrum allocation. We also evaluate the call request blocking probability varying the number of data centers and traffic load. The obtained results show that the proposed algorithm is highly effective in reducing the traffic failure and blocking probability for EODCNs.
‘Instafashion’, ‘adeventures’ and ‘gals on the go’: The creative use of English in Greek fashion magazines
Authors: Seiti Ioanna , Fotiou Constantina
Published: April 2022

This paper examines the use of English in Greek fashion magazines. It assesses the frequency of the use of English in these media, uncovers its discourse forms and functions, and illustrates why English is being used in the first place. As it is shown, English mainly takes the form of naming and headings and what characterizes its use is creativity and innovation. Through language play, intertextual references, clips, deliberate spelling mistakes, and alternations of the intended meaning of idiomatic phrases, English has a variety of functions such as creating emphasis and attracting the reader’s attention. Like other settings where English bears a non-official status, the use of English features capitalizes on the symbolic and indexical value of this language. English is used because it symbolizes progression, innovation, and success and because it indexes knowledge of and association with globalized fashion and beauty discourses and styles circulating worldwide in fashion magazines, on social networking sites, and platforms. The findings of this study can be used to examine the extent of the homogenization of the fashion discourse worldwide while similar studies can be conducted with different types of media to compare the way that English is used in a variety of contexts in Greece and elsewhere.
Agamid lizard predation by Macaca sinica (toque macaque) in Peradeniya, Sri Lanka
Authors: Wijesooriya Kumudu , Weerasekara Lakshani , Ranawana Kithsiri
Published: April 2022

This is the first study to record cases of predation and scavenging of the family Agamidae and related foraging behaviour within a social group of Macaca sinica (the toque macaque). We observed three incidences of the capture and consumption of two species, Calotes liolepis and, Calotes versicolor, and one case of scavenging of a carcass of C. liolepis. While common for macaques, this behaviour has been under-reported in M. sinica. Further studies of predation and scavenging behaviour in a cercopithecine species contribute to our understanding of hunting and its evolution in other primate taxa.
Dissection of social interaction and community engagement of smallholder oil palm in reducing conflict using soft system methodology
Authors: Herdiansyah Herdis
Published: April 2022

Many impacts occur due to oil palm cultivation. One of them is a conflict that occurred in some regions, especially in Jambi Province in Indonesia. Most of the conflicts that occurred are related to natural resources. Disputes can be more complicated when there is any part of the land belongs to the government. Commonly, 30% of the plantations is owned by plasma land, while the remaining 70% is owned by nucleus land. Conflicts occurred due to the smallholders’ position, which is a weak party in land tenure. The smallholders’ low income was partly due to the high price of fertilizers, the toke’s (middleman) low price, and related transportation problems. Differences in individual perceptions are also one of the conflicts that occur. The purpose of this study was to understand more deeply the conflict between smallholders, especially independent smallholders, and the company oil palm that occurred. By using soft system method-based action research, real-world primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with stakeholders (local government, smallholders, companies, and NGO activists) in Jambi. This article found that this system is also implemented in oil palm plantations in Indonesia. Independent smallholder oil palms also consider that community engagement should be involved as a learning effort. Therefore, social interaction and community involvement, through approaches with the government, companies, and oil palm planters in forms of social interaction and training, need to be applied to minimize oil palm conflicts. It is suggested that further research can provide a study, explanation, and implementation of existing policies so that the obligations and rights of smallholder oil palms and plantation companies do not cause oil palm conflicts.

Published: April 2022

To modify polyvinylchloride membranes for carbon dioxide gas separation, six polyvinyl chloride-g-polyionic liquid ionomers such as polyvinylchloride-g-poly1-vinyl-3-hexylimidazolium bromide (PVC-g-P[VHIm][Br]), polyvinylchloride-g-poly1-vinyl-3-hexylimidazolium thiocyanate (PVC-g-P[VHIm][SCN]), polyvinylchloride-g-poly1-vinyl-3-hexylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (PVC-g-P[VHIm][ BF4]), polyvinylchloride-g-poly1-vinyl-3-octylimidazolium bromide (PVC-g-P[VOIm][Br]), polyvinylchloride-g-poly1-vinyl-3-octylimidazolium thiocyanate (PVC-g-P[VOIm][SCN]) and polyvinylchloride-g-poly1-vinyl-3-octylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (PVC-g-P[VOIm][ BF4]) were synthesized. The polyvinyl chloride-g-polyionic liquid ionomers were characterized using elemental analyzer (CHN) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. CO2 adsorption onto these ionomers was measured by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and the experimental data were correlated by the sorption model. The parameters obtained imply that CO2 adsorption has an exothermic and physisorption nature. Also, the investigations point to that the PVC-g-P[VHIm][SCN] has better performance for CO2 separation.
Advances in the application of a computational Theory of Visual Attention (TVA): Moving towards more naturalistic stimuli and game-like tasks
Authors: Tünnermann Jan , Kristjánsson Árni , Petersen Anders , Schubö Anna , Scharlau Ingrid
Published: April 2022

The theory of visual attention, “TVA”, is an influential and formal theory of attentional selection. It is widely applied in clinical assessment of attention and fundamental attention research. However, most TVA-based research is based on accuracy data from letter report experiments performed in controlled laboratory environments. While such basic approaches to questions regarding attentional selection are undoubtedly useful, recent technological advances have enabled the use of increasingly sophisticated experimental paradigms involving more realistic scenarios. Notably, these studies have in many cases resulted in different estimates of capacity limits than those found in studies using traditional TVA-based assessment. Here we review recent developments in TVA-based assessment of attention that goes beyond the use of letter report experiments and experiments performed in controlled laboratory environments. We show that TVA can be used with other tasks and new stimuli, that TVA-based parameter estimation can be embedded into complex scenarios, such as games that can be used to investigate particular problems regarding visual attention, and how TVA-based simulations of “visual foraging” can elucidate attentional control in more naturalistic tasks. We also discuss how these developments may inform future advances of TVA.
The semiology of colors in scripture translation: Arabic-English
Authors: Elewa Abdelhamid
Published: April 2022

This paper examines the color symbolic values in two different and unrelated languages, Arabic and English. It analyses the colors mentioned in the Qur’an semiotically and their translation based on Peirce’s semiotic model of sign interpretation, while considering the socio-cultural differences that influence the understanding and rendering of color signs, informed by corpus-based analysis. Although the Qur’an contains the most basic colors like other languages, the semiotic values of some colors are different. The study shows that colors in the Qur’an, and Arabic in general, are tightly linked to the environment and culture of the early Muslims who received the Qur’an first-hand from the Prophet. These colors as situated in their culture could appear positively or negatively to users in other languages in a way that is not intended in the source text. Therefore, the translator’s awareness of the socio-cultural signs could bridge the gap between the different systems of codification and recodification of signs.
Bayesian optimal investment and reinsurance with dependent financial and insurance risks
Authors: Bäuerle Nicole , Leimcke Gregor
Published: April 2022

Major events like the COVID-19 crisis have impact both on the financial market and on claim arrival intensities and claim sizes of insurers. Thus, when optimal investment and reinsurance strategies have to be determined, it is important to consider models which reflect this dependence. In this paper, we make a proposal on how to generate dependence between the financial market and claim sizes in times of crisis and determine via a stochastic control approach an optimal investment and reinsurance strategy which maximizes the expected exponential utility of terminal wealth. Moreover, we also allow that the claim size distribution may be learned in the model. We give comparisons and bounds on the optimal strategy using simple models. What turns out to be very surprising is that numerical results indicate that even a minimal dependence which is created in this model has a huge impact on the optimal investment strategy.
The discursive construction of a conflict: a case of disputed islands in the East China Sea
Authors: Watanabe Hideo
Published: April 2022

This article aims to identify how Chinese and Japanese online English-language newspaper editorials construct their arguments about a group of disputed islands – the Diaoyu Islands in Chinese, and the Senkaku Islands in Japanese – from a linguistic perspective. Newspapers in the two countries have played an important role in appealing not just to domestic readers, but also to international readers on this issue. A corpus of 50 editorials published between 2012 and 2016 was compiled from the English-medium Chinese and Japanese newspapers. The article examines evaluative language in the editorials, using an APPRAISAL framework developed within systemic functional linguistics. This project also adopts corpus techniques for selecting the samples. The findings show that the two corpora frequently used negative evaluations towards the opposite country. The two corpora, however, differed in the varieties of evaluations in the editorials. By exploring the discursive construction of the editorials in relation to contextual information, the analytical focus is on the way the discursive resources contribute to realising the ideologies behind the Diaoyu/Senkaku islands dispute. The findings contribute to our understanding of the way conflicting views can be constructed with the use of linguistic resources in the context of online English-medium news media.
Might Structural Changes Be the Next Step for Federal Sentencing Reform?
Authors: Berman Douglas A.
Published: April 2022

The landmark First Step Act was given a name intended to signal that additional criminal justice reforms should be a continued focus for federal policy makers. But more than three years later, Congress has yet to pass any new sentencing reform laws. The introduction to the April 2022 Issue of the Federal Sentencing Reporter explores what could come next in the area of sentencing reform, with a particular focus on two new federal bills proposing notable structural changes to the federal sentencing system. The proposed Sentencing Commission Improvements Act and FIX Clemency Act are both commendable because they seek to alter key structures that have contributed to massive growth in the federal prison population.
Prison Decarceration and the Mental Health Crisis
Authors: Adler Julian , Flood Caitlin
Published: April 2022

The number of incarcerated people in the United States with mental health treatment needs is inexcusably and unconscionably high. The authors argue that while the justice reform movement has made some laudable efforts to address the overincarceration of people with mental health treatment needs, these efforts have focused almost entirely on the front end of the criminal legal system (e.g., arrest and jail diversion), as well as problem-solving courts and alternative sentencing programs. And while plenty of work to prevent incarceration remains to be done, the authors seek to shine a bright light on how the post-conviction mechanisms of compassionate release, clemency, and sentencing review must be used—in some instances reimagined—to advance decarceration for people with mental health treatment needs in federal and state prison systems. The authors call on decision-makers to take a bold and expansive view of release for those whose incarceration no longer serves the interest of justice, while also recognizing that further education and advocacy are needed to overcome the conflation and sensationalizing of mental illness and violence. Concluding that prison will never be a good environment to meaningfully address mental health treatment needs, the authors contend that there must be a deeper moral reckoning with—and more revulsion against—the warehousing of people struggling with mental health treatment needs in the United States.
Fixing the Support of Justice
Authors: Sevcenko Catherine
Published: April 2022

Clemency dates back to ancient times. For centuries everyone accepted that clemency was needed to correct unduly harsh outcomes dictated by law in individual cases. That changed in the United States in the second half of the 20th century, when clemency became associated with being soft on crime, the kiss of death for politicians lining up to pass harsher laws with longer and mandatory minimum sentences. Presidents began to exercise their pardon power almost exclusively at the end of their terms to avoid any political cost. The reluctance to grant clemency, the soaring number of applicants due to mass incarceration, and the redundant layers of bureaucratic review have created a backlog of some 18,000 applications as of April 2022.

Clemency must be restored as an accepted tool to ensure that justice is served. The FIX Clemency Act, which creates an independent commission that would review applications expeditiously and make recommendations to the president, would ensure fair and timely consideration for every applicant. The commissioners would come from diverse backgrounds, in contrast to the current system in which the Department of Justice has a monopoly on recommending clemency. This article uplifts the voices of people seeking clemency to foster understanding about the benefit of clemency not only to the recipient but to their families and communities.
Making Sense of Sentences
Authors: McLeod Marah Stith
Published: April 2022

Critics of mass incarceration and American punitiveness have called for a renewed focus on human dignity. They have proposed ways to make sanctions less severe and to ensure that punishments are more humanely administered. Attention to human dignity, however, also requires something else: greater attention to the humanity of offenders at the sentencing proceeding. Sentencing now is often a routine, unreasoned affair; even draconian sentences are sometimes imposed with little or no explanation of the goals they are meant to serve. Respect for dignity demands more than this. Judges should explain, in terms defendants can understand, the State’s legitimate purposes for requiring them to suffer the burdens of punishment. They must explain not only the factual and legal grounds for a sanction, but the State’s lawful objectives. By giving reasons, judges can affirm that offenders remain rational moral agents and members of the human community, not merely animals to be caged. Such public acknowledgment of offender dignity is morally important, but it also serves a practical purpose, for reason-giving helps ensure that sentences reflect legitimate aims, not unthinking fiat, error, or prejudice.
The Consequences of Counting Juvenile Adjudications in Adult Sentencing
Authors: Galvin Miranda A. , Kleiman Matthew , Kurlychek Megan C.
Published: April 2022

The two primary legal factors affecting most sentencing decisions in guidelines jurisdictions are the seriousness of the current conviction offense and the defendant’s prior involvement with the criminal justice system. While districts vary in the factors considered in prior record scores, the inclusion of juvenile adjudications in these assessments is common. Nevertheless, the impact that prior adjudications have on sentencing recommendations likely varies based on the types of juvenile adjudications included, the relative weight those prior actions are given relative to prior convictions as adults, and whether the guidelines impose upper limits on the extent to which juvenile adjudications can affect adult sentencing recommendations. In this study, we estimate the impact of juvenile adjudications on recommended sentencing outcomes using data from Pennsylvania from 2015-2019 and demonstrate a method to evaluate whether the current policy contributes to disparate sentencing recommendations. Further, we examine the extent to which alternative policy structures, that are in place in other jurisdictions, produce greater, lesser, or similar impacts on recommended sentences and potential disparity. We conclude with a discussion of research on juvenile cognitive development and its implications as related to our findings.
Modeling the Sacred
Authors: DeLeonardis Lisa
Published: April 2022

Architecture and its attendant meanings are the subject of an exceptional group of ceramics produced by the Paracas (c. 800–200 BCE) of south coastal Peru. Masterfully executed in patterned detail, these designs encapsulate a moment in pictorial history that parallels innovation in building design and public acts of display. This essay considers how these architectonic features were pictured and demonstrates the significance of the forms. I examine specific features, such as the step and stepped pyramid, in the context of their architectural history. Modeling in portable objects is shown to be guided by design conventions that emphasize simultaneous, multidimensional perspectives. The objects’ value in ritual activity is also considered. Ideas about the built environment are discussed in relation to sacred geography. I propose a narrative for the interrelated ideas, motifs, and monuments that inform Paracas ceremonialism and sacred places.
Las Relaciones gramaticales en los compuestos del español. Una propuesta de clasificación basada en criterios sintácticos y categoriales
Authors: Marqueta Gracia Bárbara
Published: April 2022

Resumen. El propósito de este artículo es plantear una aproximación alternativa a la identificación de las relaciones gramaticales en los compuestos del español haciendo uso de criterios sintácticos. Se distinguirá entre tipos de compuestos en función de si los constituyentes no nucleares del compuesto funcionan como predicados (prodigio en niño prodigio), nominales adjuntos (aroma en aromaterapia), argumentos (vajillas en lavavajillas) o adjuntos no nominales (mal en malhumorado). Para dar cuenta de estas distinciones, proponemos tres criterios de clasificación: la posición de ensamble del constituyente no nuclear en la proyección del núcleo del compuesto, su categoría gramatical, y la naturaleza de los constituyentes entre los que establece la relación gramatical, bien entre los propios miembros del compuesto, bien entre un miembro del compuesto y un sintagma externo al mismo. El punto de partida de la aproximación es la habitual distinción entre relaciones gramaticales de subordinación, atribución y coordinación. Se trata de demostrar que las clases mencionadas no son lo suficientemente precisas para dar cuenta de manera exhaustiva de todas las relaciones gramaticales identificables en la composición española.

Published: April 2022

Introducción. La mayoría de los trabajos académicos sobre capacitación de extensionistas suele abordar el tema tangencialmente, de manera puramente teórica o centrándose en casos específicos. El presente trabajo se propone describir, caracterizar y analizar las capacitaciones que reciben extensionistas rurales de Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala y Uruguay. Metodología. Se entrevistó a 133 extensionistas en el marco de 68 entrevistas individuales y 18 grupales. Las mismas fueron transcriptas y sometidas a análisis de contenido utilizando software Atlas.ti. Resultados. Las personas extensionistas reciben capacitaciones productivas y de metodologías de extensión, aunque son fundamentalmente estas últimas las que encuentran insuficientes. Valoran especialmente las capacitaciones prácticas y las metodologías participativas que permiten el intercambio de experiencias entre pares. Las personas entrevistadas destacan la necesidad de que las instituciones de extensión apoyen la formación de sus técnicos y desarrollen un plan sistemático de capacitación donde se incluyan tanto temas productivos como de metodologías de extensión. Se reclama que las capacitaciones sean prácticas, participativas, con temas actualizados y con suficiente profundidad. Discusión. Los resultados del estudio coinciden con diferentes investigaciones. Su principal mérito es analizar la situación en diferentes países, yendo más allá de casos puntuales. Se recomienda profundizar en el estudio del impacto de los marcos institucionales en las prácticas de capacitación de las instituciones de extensión rural.

Розкрито змістовні ознаки методології форсайту як засобу реалізації сталого господарювання, окреслено базові формати і алгоритм організації фінансування сталого господарювання на засадах форсайт-підходу. Наголошено на необхідності оновлення методології управління сталим розвитком господарських систем з використанням форсайт-підходу. Визначено форсайт-проєктування як дієвий інструмент попереджувального управління розвитком економічних систем, який створює можливості для формування фінансово-логістичного ланцюга фінансування проєктів із залучення природних ресурсів території до господарського обігу з урахуванням ключових компетенцій і смарт-спеціалізації різнотипних просторових утворень за участю ключових стейкхолдерів господарського процесу –– влади, бізнесу і населення.
Визначено доцільним створення фондів фінансування сталого розвитку, запропоновано три основних формати їх функціонування: бюджетний, орієнтований на цільове завдання з професійного фінансового планування бюджетних видатків на перспективу з урахуванням форсайт-стратегування; сервісний, пов’язаний з цільовими функціями налагодження публічно-приватного партнерства і залучення бізнес-структур та їх ресурсів до виконання форсайту; проєктний, спрямований на формування збалансованих, з позицій ліквідності, дохідності й структури капіталу інвестиційних пропозицій, забезпечених, у свою чергу, доходами від проєктівфорсайту.
Запропоновано структурну схему поетапної взаємодії стейкхолдерів господарського процесу в організації сталого фінансування форсайту в платформному форматі. Окреслено базові етапи фінансування форсайт-проєкту сталого розвитку, включаючи етап інвестування, коли публічний сектор і бізнес-структури укладають угоду про партнерство в інвестиційному проєкті; етап емісії, на якому спеціальна юридична особа SPV за участі незалежного рейтингового агентства і під наглядом державного регулятора емітує та реалізує на фондовому ринку забезпечені майбутніми доходами від проєкту цінні папери; етап рефінансування компанією SPV проєкту для його завершення або експлуатації чи модернізації та розрахунку з інвесторами і оригінаторами за емітованими фінансовими зобов’язаннями тощо.

The most important aspect of making any investment decision is assessing the investment attractiveness of the investment object. Investment decisions are one of the most difficult tasks in terms of the selection procedure. They are based on a multivariate, multicriteria assessment of a number of factors and trends that often operate in different directions. The investment attractiveness of the enterprise is used as an integral characteristic of investment opportunities, which is formed by the assessment of the expediency of investing in a particular business entity for a certain period of time. Knowledge of the market value allows the owner of the object to improve the production process, to develop a set of measures aimed at increasing the market value of the enterprise. Periodic valuation improves management efficiency and thus prevents bankruptcy and destruction. Practical methods of assessing the investment attractiveness used by leading Western consulting firms and investment companies are considered a trade secret, inaccessible to the general public and not adapted to Ukrainian economic conditions, which indicates the relevance of the study of this problem.The essence of investment attractiveness of the enterprise is determined, the critical analysis of methods for its estimation is carried out. In the current economic conditions, there are several approaches to assessing the investment attractiveness of enterprises. The first is based on indicators of financial and economic activity and competitiveness of the enterprise. The second uses the concepts of investment potential, investment risk and methods of investment projects evaluation. The third is based on the assessment of enterprise value. Each approach and each method has its advantages, disadvantages and limits of application. The more approaches and methods will be used in the evaluation, the higher is the probability that the final value will objectively reflect the investment attractiveness of the enterprise. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are identified, practical recommendations for choosing a particular method in investment decision-making process are given.
ТЕОРЕТИЧНЕ ОСМИСЛЕННЯ ПРОЦЕСІВ РОЗВИТКУ ІНТЕГРАЦІЇ В ЄС І СПІВПРАЦІ ЙОГО КРАЇН-ЧЛЕНІВ У СФЕРІ ДОСЛІДЖЕНЬ ТА ІННОВАЦІЙ

Обґрунтовано важливість і актуальність теоретичного осмислення проблем започаткування і розвитку процесів європейської інтеграції. Виокремлено, систематизовано й розкрито сутність ключових теоретичних підходів і концепцій до вивчення явища європейської інтеграції, серед яких: федералізм, функціоналізм, неофункціоналізм, міжурядовий підхід, ліберальний міжурядовий підхід, концепція політичних мереж, теорія багаторівневого управління, інституційний підхід, теорія дезінтеграції. Охарактеризовано співпрацю європейських країн у сфері досліджень та інновацій з позиції окремих теоретичних підходів. З’ясовано, що фундамент європейської інтеграції у цій сфері було закладено на початкових етапах заснування ЄС і відтоді наукова співпраця між країнами була істотно поглиблена та розширена як у географічному, так і в секторальному сенсах.
Розкрито еволюцію теоретичних ідей щодо європейської інтеграції відповідно до періодизації А. Вінер і Т. Діца, які поділили ці ідеї за історичним і сутнісним контекстами на три фази: пояснювальну, аналітичну і конструктивну. Дану періодизацію розширено й адаптовано до сучасних умов і викликів, виходячи з кризових процесів у розвитку ЄС, шляхом доповнення її четвертою фазою — дезінтеграційноюз періодом домінування починаючи з 2008 р. і дотепер. Ця назва, однак, не говорить про обов’язкове руйнування чи розпад ЄС, узагальнення теоретичних ідей щодо дезінтеграційних процесів свідчить про значну розбіжність між існуючими поглядами авторів євроскептичного нахилу, які у своїх оцінках частіше схиляються до необхідності зміни або коригування напрямів євроінтеграційного розвитку відповідно до нових реалій та очікувань країн. Зроблено акцент на необхідності теоретичного осмислення майбутніх сценаріїв розвитку інтеграції в ЄС у контексті формування нової історичної реальності, пов’язаної з військовим вторгненням РФ на територію незалежної України.

Some theoretical and practical aspects of reintroduction and repatriation of rare species into natural conditions (populations) are analyzed in connection with the proposed All-Ukrainian Creative Children Competition "Share snowdrops with the forest – 2022", initiated by the Kyiv Ecological and Cultural Center and the All-Ukrainian NGO Living Planet. It is demonstrated here that, although plant reintroduction may play some role in species conservation, the long-term viability of most reintroduced populations has not yet been properly assessed. This initiative is analyzed in the context of existing methodological and practical aspects of the reintroduction or repatriation process. It is concluded that such initiatives are harmful and unacceptable because they threaten the genetic identity of natural populations and create conditions for potential phytoinvasions and because they violate the Ukrainian legislation.

Manajemen Dakwah Menurut Perspektif Al-Qur’an

Published: April 2022

Islam adalah agama dakwah yang berpegang teguh dengan Al-Qur’an dan  As- Sunnah, karena Al-Qur’an merupakan mukjizat yang nyata adanya dan AsSunnah merupakan bentuk wujud apa yang ada pada kekasih-Nya. Kewajiban dakwah yakni menyeru dan menyampaikan apa yang menjadi perintah Allah dan meninggalkan hal- hal yang sudah menjadi ketetapan dalam larangan Allah kepada masyarakat. Tentu dalam menyeru dan menyampaikan pesan-pesan dakwah harus dengan metode dan tata cara yang baik dan benar sesuai dengan apa yang menjadi tuntunan Al-Qur’an agar pesan-pesan dakwah tersebut dapat lebih mudah diterima oleh masyarakat dan agar tercapainya suatu tujuan, yaitu mendapatkan ridha Allah Swt. Kontekstualisasi dan relevansi ayat dakwah menjadi urgent dan vital ketika menyentuh pada permasalahan era globalisasi, yakni adanya fakta pengaburan identitas keberagamaan dan fakta radikalisme agama, dakwah memerlukan kontekstualisasi baru, seperti halnya dengan metodologi tematik, yang kemudian berfungsi untuk menyusun makna-nya secara komprehensif sesuai dengan yang terdapat dalamAl-Qur’an. Islam is a religion of da'wah that holding to the Qur'an and Sunnah, because the Qur'an is a real miracle of existence and the Sunnah is a manifestation of what is in His lover. The obligation of da'wah is to call and convey what is the command of Allah and leave things that have become provisions in Allah's prohibition to the community. Certainly in calling for and conveying da'wah messages must be with methods and procedures that are good and correct in accordance with what has become the  guidance of the Qur'an so that the da'wah messages can be more easily accepted by the community and to achieve a goal, which is to get blessing of Allah Swt. Contextualization and relevance of da'wah verses become urgent and vital when  touching on the problems of the globalization era, namely the fact that there is a blurring of religious identity and the fact of religious radicalism, da'wah requires new contextualization, in the case with thematic methodology, which then functions to compile comprehensively in accordance with contained in theQur'an.
