The Complex Dynamics in a Food Chain Involving Different Functional Responses
Authors: Ali Safaa Jawad , Atewi Adwea Naji , Naji Raid Kamel
Published: May 2022

A food chain model in which the top predator growing logistically has been proposed and studied. Two types of Holling’s functional responses type IV and type II have been used in the first trophic level and second trophic level respectively, in addition to Leslie-Gower in the third level. The properties of the solution are discussed. Since the boundary dynamics are affecting the dynamical behavior of the whole dynamical system, the linearization technique is used to study the stability of the subsystem of the proposed model. The persistence conditions of the obtained subsystem of the food chain are established. Finally, the model is simulated numerically to understand the global dynamics of the food chain under study.

Authors: Ahmed Shahad Mohammed , Al-Ramahi Fouad K. Mashee
Published: May 2022

The effects of land use/cover change are recognized as one of the challenges facing humans in the twenty-first century. In contrast to less developed regions, its characteristics are characterized by a variety of climatic conditions. The changes result in “Urban Heat Island”, in which the temperature in cities is higher than the temperature in the rest of the country. By monitoring the city of Baghdad for a short period, Baghdad's urbanization progressed quickly, which negatively affected the region’s climate through the decreasing of agricultural lands surrounding the area. Understanding the extent of effects on the environment is critical for long-term development. Climate change and environmental cleanup include making the right decisions and taking actions to reduce the detrimental impact of urbanization on both the urban population and ecosystems. As a result, we investigated the relationship between urbanization and relative humidity in Baghdad city, using remote sensing images and data downloaded from the European Center for Forecasting (ECMWF) for Baghdad city. By calculating several factors, such as relative humidity (RH), temperature (Ta), and evaporation, and confirming the changes observed in urban areas Landsat 5 and Landsat 8 images were processed and analyzed in the (ArcGIS 10.8) program for the years 2010 to 2020. The study proves that there is a clear association between growing urbanization and the relative humidity rate and how increase in building areas and the rate of increase in temperature rise in them. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of relative humidity level on the microclimate of Baghdad city from 2010 to 2020, the built-up increased from 19.60% to 27.44%. While, NDVI calculation healthy vegetation has almost disappeared with its percentage going down from 0.05% to 0.00. This study compares the microclimates of two study areas: ancient and modern, both of which differ in terms of vegetation cover and urban distribution and is based on remote sensing data.

Aphids and ants are relatively well faunistically studied in Serbia. However, there is a need to present the mutualistic associations between these two groups of insects, since there is not sufficient information on this topic for the territory under investigation. In total, 220 samples of plant-aphid-ant associations were included in this study. In 59 localities from all parts of Serbia, 32 ant taxa were registered and connected with 74 identified aphid taxa. The most frequently collected ant species found attending various aphid species were Lasius niger (L.), L. alienus (Foerster) and Prenolepis nitens (Mayr). The most common aphid species was Aphis fabae Scopoli collected on 27 plant species. The trophic associations are presented as a list of ant taxa followed with aphids and their host plants.
Neopyrrhonism as Metaphilosophy: A Non-Quietist Proposal
Authors: Reinoso Guadalupe
Published: May 2022

Fogelin (2002 [1976]; 1992 [1981]; 1994) was the first one to speak about “Neopyrrhonism” to link Wittgenstein and Sextus Empiricus. To him, Pyrrhonism “combines philosophical scepticism with scepticism about philosophy, that is, to have doubts about philosophy on the basis of philosophical arguments” (1994, p. 3). Following this interpretation, Neopyrrhonism can be understood as a kind of scepticism that cancels philosophy using self-destructive arguments (peritrope). Both Sextus -with his proposal of suspension of judgment- and Wittgenstein -with his idea of the dissolution of philosophical problems- are representatives of quietism. Neopyrrhonism as quietism can be conceived of as a therapeutic proposal mainly based on not postulating an argumentative-constructive philosophical theory. Against this perspective, I propose interpreting Neopyrrhonism as Metaphilosophy, from which a performative proposal emerges. In this approach, Neopyrrhonism is an open-ended inquiry that implies the ability of using different philosophical argumentative strategies in a performative sense to encourage a new way of exercising philosophy.

Han, B. C. (2020). Caras de la muerte. Investigaciones filosóficas sobre la muerte. Herder
Authors: Almeyda Sarmiento Juan David
Published: May 2022

En lo escrito por Byung-Chul Han hasta el momento existe una variedad de temas en su catálogo, aunque la gran mayoría giran en torno a la crítica al neoliberalismo tecnoautoritario contemporáneo. Desde su dimensión crítico-teórica, la cual se encarna en textos como Sociedad del cansancio, Enjambre, Sociedad de la transparencia, etc., como en su dimensión propositivo-práctica, presente en escritos como Aroma del tiempo, Expulsión de lo distinto, Psicopolítica, etc., la obra de Han es un solo cuerpo orgánico que se comunica consigo mismo y que responde al intento del autor por delimitar la sociedad del rendimiento y de proponer una revolución del tiempo que sirva de freno de mano, por usar una metáfora de Walter Benjamin, para detener el acelerado devenir del mundo neoliberal cada vez más digitalizado. Sin embargo, existen dos dimensiones que son ignoradas la mayoría de las veces por quienes leen a este autor: la dimensión oriental, la cual se desenvuelve en obras como Filosofía del budismo zen, Ausencia o Shanzhai, y, finalmente, la dimensión tanatológica, en la cual se pueden ubicar textos como Muerte y alteridad y Sociedad paliativa (aunque esta última tiene lugar también en la dimensión crítico-teórica); la obra acá reseñada se ubica en esta categoría de escritos que se enfocan en la muerte como problema filosófico.
Una revisión sobre la broca del café, Hypothenemus hampei (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), en Colombia
Authors: BUSTILLO-PARDEY ALEX ENRIQUE
Published: May 2022

La broca del café Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari), es el insecto plaga más importante que afecta el cultivo del café no solo en Colombia, sino en casi todos los países productores causando pérdidas cuantiosas a los cultivadores. Debido a que es una plaga introducida en Colombia sin enemigos naturales, la primera estrategia fue la introducción desde África al país de agentes de control biológico como los parasitoides, Cephalonomia stephanoderis, Prorops nasuta y Phymastichus coffea. Luego se llevaron a cabo investigaciones con el hongo Beauveria bassiana, para obtener cepas con actividad patogénica hacia la broca del café. Para estos agentes de control biológico, se desarrollaron procesos de producción masiva que permitieron su diseminación en toda la zona cafetera infestada por la broca. Posteriormente se estructuró un programa de manejo de la finca cafetera, que incluyó el conocimiento sobre la fenología del cultivo y el desarrollo de la broca, la evaluación de niveles de infestación, el control cultural, prácticas agronómicas que reducen la incidencia de la broca, evitando el escape de la broca en la etapa de beneficio del café, junto con los componentes biológicos enunciados arriba. El uso de insecticidas químicos se restringe a productos de baja toxicidad y poco impacto ambiental y se deben aplicar en aquellas situaciones en que los niveles de infestación lo ameriten, especialmente en sitios donde la broca se encuentra agregada. La integración de todas estas actividades con el fin de mantener las poblaciones de broca en niveles bajos, ha mostrado ser viable en las condiciones cafeteras de Colombia, como lo demuestran los resultados de las investigaciones.
Conceptualization of an Assessment System to Measure Vocabulary in Science (Project MELVA-S)
Authors: Kang Sisi
Published: May 2022

This paper aims to report the conceptualization of a web-based Automated Speech Recognition Scoring System, project MELVA-S (Measuring the English Language Vocabulary Acquisition of Latinx Bilingual Students), to measure the science vocabulary of second- and third-grade Latinx students. ELVA (English Learner Vocabulary Acquisition First Iteration) and ELVA-2 (English Learner Vocabulary Acquisition Second Iteration) focused on student’s learning and comprehension on science vocabularies. Both of the iterations are the foundation to build MELVA-S, which intends to measure and evaluate student’s answers with greater accuracy with Machine Learning. As a web-based agent, this system increases satisfaction for both teachers’ and students’ User Experience (UX) from content, design, and engineering perspectives. The project utilized a design-thinking approach and prototyped both the algorithm and the automated system interfaces. Future iterations of ELVA-2 and MELVA-S could consider adopting a Human-Centered Machine Learning approach, implemented with incremental improvements that include evaluation and testing with users, to keep enhancing both usability and functionality of the system for better UX.

The article reveals the features of public control over the activities of the prosecutor's office as a guarantee of human rights observance in Ukraine. It has been established that the public control carried out over the activities of the prosecution authorities is defined as the activities established by law, which are carried out by members of the public. It has been determined that the key institutional elements of such control are the subject of control, the object of control, the subject of control, and the procedures for release from control. It is noted that there are such forms of public control over the activities of the prosecution authorities, such as: public participation in the processes of discussion and preparation of legal documents; appeal of citizens or civil society institutions in direct form, together with representatives of the media, to the prosecution authorities in order to obtain information from them about the features and results of their activities; participation of citizens and/or civil society institutions in the selection processes of candidates applying for positions in the prosecutor's office; conducting surveys of citizens in their opinion about the features and results of the activities of the prosecutor's office. It has been found that ensuring constant and thorough public information about the activities of the prosecution authorities on the observance of human and civil rights and freedoms will help to increase the level of confidence of citizens and society as a whole to the activities of the prosecutor's office and prosecutors in particular. It is noted that the prospects for further research in this direction is to study the features of judicial control as one of the key guarantees of the activities of the prosecutor's office for the observance of human and civil rights and freedoms in Ukraine.

This overview focuses on modifications of chemical compounds used in the development of chemical sensors, and on materials and chemical sensors which may be sufficiently mature to be used in the industry. Special attention is paid to gas-selective optode membranes which incorporate compounds such as cobyrinate derivatives and Ru(II)complexes that are chemically modified in view of a specific application. New materials are described, e.g. the magnesium-selective ionophores currently used for diagnostic applications, and a class of substituted polymethine dyes characterized by an amine donor and a bisdicyanovinyl-ideneindandione acceptor group, where the target pKa can be modulated by decisive substituents.Three projects are discussed in more detail: 1) the development of ion-selective nanoprobes on the basis of coated AFM-tips; 2) reactands and chromoreactands which are covalently bound to acrylate-based copolymers and allow to monitor alcohols and amines continuously, and 3) a continuous-flow module integrating a fiber-optical probe that allows to monitor variations in the absorption spectrum of chromoreactands in the transflection mode.
Practical Experience with 'Electronic Nose' Systems for Monitoring the Quality of Dairy Products
Authors: Schaller Emmanuelle , Bosset Jacques O. , Escher Felix
Published: May 2022

The present paper reports some practical experience acquired by testing five sensor technologies and four instruments over approximately one year with Swiss Emmental cheese samples of different stage of ripening. Up to now, the metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) technology has given the
best discrimination between the measured samples. However, sensors of this type seem to be damaged by short-chain fatty acids released from Swiss Emmental cheese. Organic conducting polymer sensors showed a poor sensitivity to volatile components of cheese, the main problem being a rapid drift
of the sensors. The response of quartz microbalance sensors was too weak to detect differences between cheese samples. Discrimination using a newly designed mass-spectrometry system was difficult due to the low sensitivity of this instrument for the volatile compounds of cheese. Metal-oxide
semiconductor field effect transistor sensors did not give good discrimination between the samples. However, their combination with MOS sensors seems to produce a favourable system for application in cheese evaluation. Further studies with other types of cheese and other dairy products are
still necessary to define reliable and practical applications of this analytical tool in the dairy industry.
The Effectiveness of the Extended Forced-Choice Format as an Alternative to the Likert Scale Format in Improving the Factor Structure of the Psychological Scales: فاعلية استخدام صورة الاختيار القسري المطوّل كأسلوب بديل لصورة "ليكرت" في تحسين البناء العاملي للمقاييس النفسية

Published: May 2022

The study aimed to examine the relative effectiveness of using the extended forced-choice format as an alternative to the Likert scale format in improving the factor structure of the psychological scales. The neuroticism factor, which is one of the five factors of the Jordanian version of NEO personality Inventory was used as an example of the psychological scales. The Descriptive correlational approach was used to achieve the objectives of the study. The data were collected from (532) available undergraduate male and female students of different academic levels and different majors who are enrolled in different sections and different colleges in four Jordanian Universities, where the selected sections were randomly assigned into two groups (Likert format, and extended forced-choice format). The results of the exploratory as well as the confirmatory factor analyses of the scale in each of its two forms revealed that the extended forced-choice format produced better construct validity indices compared to the Likert scale format, where it was found that the factor structure of the Likert scale format is contaminated; that is, the scale does not measure a unidimensional trait as it is supposed. The results also indicated a better stability index (Cronbach-Alpha) for the extended forced-choice format which was found to be (0.847) compared to the stability index of the Likert scale format which was found to be (0.705). It was recommended to conduct more studies on using the extended forced-choice format as an alternative to the Likert scale format in other psychological scales, especially if the scale includes reversed worded items besides positively worded items.

Energy, especially renewable is considered an essential ingredient in sustaining development, since its availability and accessibility considered a very important topic worldwide. Therefore, SDG incorporated a clear goal related to sustainable energy which assures the necessity of accesablity of all to sustainable, reliable energy with reasonable cost. The research problem centred in that Sudan owns so many diversified sources for producing renewable energy (RE), but the capacity utilized from it doesn't match the existing potentialities. The research based on central hypothesis which is that RE has a positive relationship with Sustainable development. From this central hypothesis many sub hypothesis has been set, among which is the existence of reliable relations between energy objective and the other SDGs, and between energy consumption and economic. Also, Sudan owns diversified sources of producing RE that can contribute in its development. The research relied on analytical descriptive methodology using NARDL Model and Granger causality test to rest the relationship between energy consumption and economic growth during the research period. The main research findings are that there is an integrated, bidirectional causal relationship between electricity consumption and economic growth in the Sudan in both short al long runs, with an energy sustainability index of 30% (2020) which is the lower compared to the regional Arab and African countries. The research recommended several recommendations, the importance among which were the necessities of utilizing the existing low cost electricity network with Ethiopia and Egypt to fill the current consumption gap. Also, the importance of easing investment barriers in RE for investors, specifically for solar and wind sectors for better serving the development goals in the country.

Agriculture is a critical sector for the economy of any state, because it is the lifeblood of many other industries. The article provides an indicative analysis of the of the Russian economy readiness to enter the growth phase of the sixth technological order. The research is based on the postulate of the theory of long waves by N.D. Kondratyev, according to which the monitoring of innovation in the agricultural sector allows obtaining indicators of the phase of the economic cycle. The paper provides an assessment of the innovative development of world agriculture for compliance with global technological trends. The main indicators of innovation and economic growth in dynamics over the past few years are considered. The investment process specificity in country’s agri[1]cultural production due to geographical, logistic and economic factors, that leads to a high capital intensity of innovations in the industry, has been revealed. The main problem in the investment attractiveness of the industry is the low demand among farmers for research and development results due to their high cost, which forms the extensive nature of investments in the industry and their low profitability. Low efficiency of research and development financing in the industry is due to investments in basic research that is not demanded by the market. The reason for this phenomenon is explained by ageing of intellectual capital in the industry and the lack of institutional tools for its activation: low wages, lack of clear tools for managing innovation in the industry. Possible solutions to problems of the agriculture innovative development and increasing the agricultural sector attractiveness for investors are given.

Effective innovative development of the construction industry is impossible without providing the companies with financial resources. In turn some innovation approaches both in banks, and in non-bank credit organizations were created concerning this issue. The authors define the type of the innovations, occurring in the sphere of financing and crediting of construction companies as improving innovations or modification, aimed at the improvement of service while preserving the main functions and principles of the services rendering. First of all the innovations are based on the use of information technologies, such as application of big data, artificial intelligence, information analysis of the clients’ social networks for the adoption of the credit decision; the development of online crediting, creation of the infrastructure of the alternate investments and credits for providing the companies with financial resources. The purpose of this research was the identification and characteristic of the top innovation trends in providing the companies with financial resources. The system approach, methods of groupping, statistic and comparative analysis were applied for the achievement of this purpose. The results of the analysis allowed to conclude, that the innovation approaches make financial resources more available for the companies. Some modern problems of the information technology development in the field of financing and crediting were considered as the debatable question. The matter of the role of banks in the creation of the innovation system of providing the companies with financial resources is also considered.

The fourth industrial revolution “Industry 4.0” defines a paradigm shift in technological patterns, requiring the modernization of the institutional environment in the context of the development of end-to-end technologies. This fact determines the need for analysis and subsequent development of innovation infrastructure subsystems. The system-forming elements of the innovative development of the national and regional economies are: scientific activities of educational, research, expert organizations; venture forms of entrepreneurship; innovative enterprises and clusters; regulatory and legislative regulators; attributive mechanisms of innovative development and subjects of the innovative environment. The progressive development of the elements and subsystems of the innovation infrastructure determines the need for a systematic representation of the innovation environment. The aim of the study is to analyze the innovation infrastructure and ecosystem in the Russian Federation. The article discusses the categories of “innovation infrastructure” and “innovation ecosystem”, which are becoming increasingly widespread in the scientific literature and government documents, while being used in similar semantic contexts. The key objectives of the study, described in the theoretical part of the work, are the analysis of the elements of the innovation infrastructure and the innovation climate of the territories of federal districts and regions. The study uses general scientific research methods. The information base of the study is the data of federal authorities, research and analytical centers, international consulting companies, publications of Russian and foreign experts. The results obtained are of an applied nature, since they reflect the problem areas and directions for the development of the innovation ecosystem. The main problem is the lack of a single effective approach to managing innovation processes in the Russian Federation, despite the multiplicity of infrastructure elements in the national and regional innovation systems. This aspect is debatable, but the discreteness of the process of developing the national innovation infrastructure is obvious, which does not allow for the functioning of a self-developing open innovation ecosystem.

Construction is one of the most significant sectors of the economy both by the share of the population employed in the industry and in the share of gross value added. Simultaneously сonstruction is one of the outsiders of digital transformation processes, which are now a trend in the development of the Russian economy. However, the construction industry has significant potential and prerequisites for the introduction of digital technologies, including building information modeling (BIM). A relevant scientific and practical task is to identify and systematize the factors (groups of factors) that have a significant impact on the introduction of innovative technologies in construction. This article presents the results of such systematisation with a focus on the implementation of BIM. The object of study was the enterprises of the investment and construction sphere of various focus, carrying out the transition to innovative digital technologies, including BIM. The subject is the factors of internal and external in relation to the organization of the nature that influence on the processes under study. The result of the study is a structured system of these factors, including external and internal environmental factors that may or may not be manageable in a particular management situation.
