Lignocellulosic biomass is widely used in the field of laccase production because it has the advantages of low price and easy availability. Thus, a comparative analysis was performed of the laccase secretion ability of five white-rot fungi in submerged fermentation using single or mixtures of lignocellulosic biomass. Maximum laccase activity of Trametes gibbosa An 360, Vanderbylia fraxinea An 369, Perenniporia pyricola Han 202, Coriolopsis trogii Han 474, and Trametes versicolor Han 1504 was 55.83 ± 0.28 U/L on the mixture of corncob and cottonseed hull, 77.96 ± 1.60 U/L on corncob, 443.33 ± 15.49 U/L on corncob, 686.57 ± 16.49 U/L on corncob, and 162.04 ± 11.33 U/L on cottonseed hull. The mixed lignocellulosic material effectively improved the laccase activity of T. gibbosa An 360 compared with other fungal strains. However, the presence of corncob contributed to the secretion of laccase activity for V. fraxinea An 369, P. pyricola Han 202, and C. trogii Han 474. Meanwhile, cottonseed hull was conducive to the secretion of laccase of T. versicolor Han 1504. Laccase activity of P. pyricola Han 202 was very stable throughout most of the fermentation time. The results from this study provide new methods and increase fungal strains to improve laccase activity.
Maybe It’s Time to change the Order of the Seimas Elections?
Authors: Tučas Rolandas , Kanapka Giedrius
Published: December 2022

This article discusses the problems of the mixed parallel voting electoral system applied in the Seimas elections, paying more attention to its geographical aspect – the problems caused by the frequent redrawing of single-member constituencies due to demographic processes. The article presents the principles and methods of electoral constituency delimitation in other countries, the experience gained during the redrawing of the boundaries of single-member constituencies for the 2016 and 2020 Seimas elections, and highlights the problems encountered. The problems of the Lithuanian electoral system discussed in the article are recommended to be solved in the future by using only proportional representation for the election of the Seimas, dividing the state into 6 multi-member constituencies (the 7th constituency is for citizens of our country living abroad), which would be formed on the basis of counties, merging smaller counties together. A similar procedure for the election of the Seimas in Lithuania was applied in the third decade of the 20th century, therefore, this reform should be called the restitution of the interwar parliamentary elections.

Escolas cívico-militares
Authors: Carvalho Anderson dos Anjos Pena de , Zientarski Clarice , Rech Hildemar Luiz
Published: December 2022

Este texto objetiva analisar a estratégia política do governo de Jair Bolsonaro que tenta impor às escolas públicas brasileiras sua conversão cívico-militar, como um fenômeno que oculta, pelo menos, dois aspectos fundamentais totalmente imbricados: (a) uma história de negligência identificada na desvinculação de recursos para a educação; (b) uma ação que favorece o capital financeiro e os reformadores empresariais na educação pública. Embora o Decreto que cria o Programa Nacional de Escolas Cívico-Militares (PECIM) tenha indicado ser facultativa a adesão dos entes federativos ao Programa, será possível notar aqui que, a escola pública tem contra si, na atual conjuntura, a pressão para ter de aderir à militarização das escolas, como uma refém com um fuzil apontado contra si, cuja desobediência poderá significar seu extermínio. Sob os sintomas vertiginosos provocados pelas subsequentes usurpações históricas de calote e mecanismos de desvinculação dos valores que deveriam ser a ela destinados, a escola pública vê-se coagida, para poder continuar existindo, a submeter-se às garras da lógica militarizada.

Published: December 2022

El presente artículo estudia los procedimientos escénico-performativos utilizados en el montaje de Pita Torres, Prostíbulo poético Valparaíso (2018), con el objetivo de comprender cómo, a través de recursos que acentúan lo convivial, se configura un mundo de fiesta marginal que pone en tensión la imagen del Valparaíso patrimonial, antiguo puerto del Pacífico Sur, promocionado hoy como sitio cultural y turístico desde la institucionalidad política. El análisis plantea que la elección de una proxémica limítrofe, que propicia la interacción corporal entre actantes y espectadores, produce una experiencia de shock que los saca de la ilusión, configurándose como una estrategia no textual, que enarbola una crítica social desde el universo poético.

Este artigo tem por objetivo discutir algumas condições de possibilidade à análise de obras amefricanas produzidas por mulheres, centradas em universos de experiências da travessia narradas desde o ponto de vista de sujeitas(os) negras(os) no processo da Diáspora. Nesse sentido, selecionamos um corpus literário composto por obras de Maria Firmina dos Reis (2004), Conceição Evaristo (2017, 2019) e Ana Maria Gonçalves (2018). São abordados os estudos em torno do tráfico transatlântico e da travessia no navio negreiro; bem como o diálogo entre o conhecimento teórico e histórico sobre o tema e as produções literárias ante a experiência do sequestro e da travessia. Tomamos a metáfora do arquipélago, proposta por Édouard Glissant (2014), como fundamento à construção da metodologia que subsidiará a discussão realizada. Nossa argumentação propõe a hipótese de um Atlântico como cemitério e, particularmente, como cemitério de nossos Outros, a que o corpus selecionado – enquanto parte de um conjunto mais amplo das literaturas amefricanas de autoria feminina – nos permite acessar processos de recomposição das memórias fragmentadas na travessia.
Pleamar y bajamar de la representación del imaginario portuario-oceánico en la narrativa de Valparaíso
Authors: Neira Oscar Rosales
Published: December 2022

El mar es un elemento que compone de manera decisiva la geografía de Valparaíso, determinando formas de habitar el territorio, el carácter de sus habitantes, modos de habla, sistemas de producción y redes sociales. Es una presencia de tipo elemental que integra y genera aquello que se podría considerar como lo imaginario central de la cultura de una ciudad-puerto. Este artículo tiene por objetivo ofrecer una mirada panorámica del influjo y representación simbólica del mar en la narrativa porteña, a través de un análisis comparativo de dos períodos: siglo XX y siglo XXI. Se plantea que el vínculo de la producción literaria de Valparaíso con el componente oceánico configura una estética cuya evolución se puede explicar desde la relación que el habitante establece con su borde costero. Se constata entonces la presencia de un imaginario marítimo que en el discurso ficcional experimenta un proceso de emplazamiento y desplazamiento, que refleja las transformaciones físicas y las disputas político-sociales que se han dado al interior del territorio, identificando en su recreación simbólica un estadio de imaginarios urbanos con atributos muy definidos, el cual deriva posteriormente en otro con características propias de fantasma urbano.

This paper will show the completion of PDAM data by determining the shortest pipe length from PDAM data, in other words finding the shortest pipe length from the tree model that is formed. In this PDAM pipe network problem, the distance from each pipe is determined from one area to another. In this study, each PDAM pipe has a different distance between one pipe and another. So with this problem we need a way to determine the shortest pipe length from each PDAM pipe between regions. By determining the length of the shortest pipe so that the shortest distance can be obtained from the use of the pipe. After obtaining the shortest distance, this research will be able to obtain a model in the form of a graph, namely Tree and will look for the shortest pipe length between one area and another for the PDAM pipeline network in the city of Padang. In this case, Padang Timur was chosen as the object of research because of the ineffective use of the PDAM pipe network. The region using the Graph method is expected to be able to determine the shortest pipe length using a pipe network so that it will be more economical and practical to implement.
Exploring the Changing Contours of “Enchantment”
Authors: George Jibu Mathew
Published: December 2022

By the phrase “disenchantment of the world” (Entzauberung der Welt), Max Weber meant: i) an understanding of the world increasingly by reference to natural forces, physical laws, and mechanical principles than to magical and supernatural powers; and ii) a development within religion from magic to rationalized paths to salvation devoid of magic. However, restricting exploration on enchantment, disenchantment, and re-enchantment to scholarly and historically specific meanings would exclude a large terrain of ordinary, non-religious human experience. The semantic flexibility of the terms enables one to explore a spectrum of so-called substitutive sources of re-enchantment: psyche, death, love, art, history, nature, and so on. To designate secular sources of enchantment exclusively as re-enchantments would restrict them to being substitutes to the religious. Further, not all religious imagination is enchanting; the nature of enchantment varies across the ideational spectrum of religious world views, and this article briefly examines the internal gradations. Based on its exploratory expansiveness vis-à-vis such diverse phenomena, the article argues that every object, entity, and experience is a potential source of enchantment, that enchantment and disenchantment in a larger sense have to do with the perspective one might bring to an otherwise inert world, and that enchantment occurs at the conjunction of the subject and the object.

Authors:   Volgograd State University, Sharno Oksana
Published: December 2022

Introduction: in the context of a sanctioned foreign policy, which includes the possibility of abandoning Russian energy carriers, in addition to risks, some opportunities for sustainable development and implementation of ESG strategies are revealed. The innovative green projects in the interests of the Russian Federation are implemented for sustainable development mainly by the business community, whose responsibility is interpreted in the context of ESG criteria. The purpose of the study: to substantiate the concept of environmental responsibility of business as a criterion of ESG and sustainable development. Methods: the research was carried out by means of a set of methods of scientific cognition, namely, analysis (the analysis of concepts, identification of their signs, traits) and synthesis (the generalization of debatable conclusions, contrasted definitions), the method of analogies, by which the characteristics of the studied theses and definitions were projected onto legal relations. The preparation of the paper required the use of special legal research methods, such as formal legal and comparative legal. Results: ESG as a new trend and category is correlated in content with the sustainable development goals. The principles of ESG and sustainable development are implemented in Russia taking into account the local peculiarities. The ESG criteria are data that capture the measure of responsibility of business in the environmental protection field. The environmental responsibility of business as a type of environmental responsibility is a responsible approach of business to nature protection not out of fear of being held liable, but on the basis of the calculations of stimulating indicators, positive factors. The environmental responsibility of business, in this sense, becomes a value criterion, an incentive for the use of green technologies, innovative “clean” business models and can be attributed to the criteria of ESG and sustainable development. Conclusions: the environmental responsibility of business as an ESG criterion is achieved by external and internal factors, requires the state participation, achieving environmental transparency, improving environmental insurance, developing a system of taxonomy and criteria assessment.
Overturning of the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP): RAFOS Float Data Report June 2014 - January 2019
Authors: Ramsey Andree L. , Furey Heather H. , Bower Amy S.
Published: December 2022

The Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP) is an international effort started in 2014 dedicated to achieving a better understanding of the link between dense-water formation and the meridional overturning circulation in the high-latitude North Atlantic. Moorings, gliders, and subsurface acoustically-tracked RAFOS floats have been used to collect temperature, salinity, and current data across the Labrador Sea, Irminger Sea, Reykjanes Ridge, Iceland Basin, Rockall-Hatton Plateau, and Rockall Trough. The specific objective of the OSNAP float program is to gather information on the pathways of the dense overflow waters transported by the deep limb of the overturning circulation and assess the connection of those pathways with currents observed crossing the OSNAP mooring line. This data report details the observations collected by 148 floats that were deployed for OSNAP during the summers of 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. Deployment locations were in the Iceland Basin, Irminger Sea, and in the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone. Mission lengths ranged from 540-730 days, and the floats were ballasted to passively drift at a fixed pressure of either 1800, 2000, 2200, 2500, or 2800 dbar to tag the deep overflow water masses of the subpolar North Atlantic (Iceland-Scotland and Denmark Strait Overflow Waters).

Published: December 2022

A pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar o lugar social e intercultural da prática educativa na cidade habitada, identificando os encontros e desencontros em relação a arte de fazer, ser e pensar no espaço escolar. Para tanto, utilizou-se como base metodológica, a análise bibliográfica sist]emática em obras de estudiosos com leitura corrente no campo da Educação, alicerçada na experiência do vivido como professora do Ensino Médio, no intuito de abordar os fundamentos que subjazem a ação docente no espaço escolar, a percepção inerente ao lugar da Educação Social e da Interculturalidade no processo educativo, e assim, como pressuposto teórico, recorreu-se aos estudos de Freire; Certeau; Merleau-Ponty; e Candau. Quanto aos resultados, associamos como elementos constitutivos da arte de fazer, ser e pensar a prática educativa coerente e autêntica: a tomada de consciência, a intencionalidade do fazer pedagógico, a experiência sensível, a eticidade e o reconhecimento de si e do outro como ser sócio-histórico e cultural. Concluímos que, o reconhecimento do espaço escolar enquanto um local de intervenção, de cruzamento de culturas, de diferenças, de experiências e de construção, é complexo e desafiador, uma vez que exige pensar a interculturalidade crítica. Do mesmo modo, o desenvolvimento da prática docente social e intercultural requer que sejam rompidos os silenciamentos impostos por ações pedagógicas de vigilância que não reconhecem as diferenças e impossibilitam a naturalização e o cruzamento de culturas no espaço escolar.

Perception of ATR contrasts by Akan speakers: a case of perceptual near-merger
Authors: Rose Sharon , Obiri-Yeboah Michael , Creel Sarah
Published: December 2022

Despite many acoustic, articulatory and phonological studies of Advanced Tongue Root (ATR) vowel contrasts and vowel harmony, studies of the perception of ATR contrasts by speakers of languages with ATR vowel distinctions are lacking. This paper explores how vowels which differ for ATR or height, or both, are distinguished by speakers of Akan, a Kwa language of Ghana. We examine whether the phonological contrastive status of the vowels impacts perception or whether it is driven by acoustic similarity. Results from two experiments reveal that vowels that differ only for ATR are well distinguished, even those that are in an allophonic relationship. Yet, vowels that are contrastive and differ by both ATR and height features, but are acoustically similar, are poorly perceived. We suggest that these vowel contrasts constitute a case of perceptual near-merger.

Bourdieu’nün 1961 ve 1962 yılları arasında “Varisler” adlı eserinde yaptığı araştırma ile Fransız Kamu Politikaları Kurumu’nun (IPP) 2016-2017 yıllarında elde ettiği veriler karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenerek güncel durum ortaya konmuştur. Buna göre, Fransız yönetici yetiştirme felsefesinin, kültürel sermayeyi yücelten ve kendi yönetici sınıfını yaratmak için ‘seçilmiş’ öğrencileri ‘sıradanlardan’ ayıran bir anlayış olduğu görülmüştür. 2022 yılında Ulusal İdare Okulu’nun (ENA) yerine “Ulusal Kamu Hizmeti Enstitüsü’nün (INSP)” açılmasıyla başlayan son değişikliklerle bu kaygılar giderilmeye çalışılsa da yeni sistem yine de tartışmaya açıktır.

Authors: VARDAR Gülin , TAÇOĞLU Caner , AYDOĞAN Berna
Published: December 2022

This study investigates mean and volatility spillover effects among eight major cryptocurrencies; Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Stellar, Bitcoin Cash, Cardano and EOS utilizing VAR-BEKK-GARCH model. The results point out that there are bidirectional and unidirectional spillover effects among these major cryptocurrencies. Moreover, the findings indicate that some cryptocurrencies are the transmitter, while others act as a receiver and among all, Litecoin is the highest transmitter, and Stellar is the only one that acts as a receiver. The interdependence among cryptocurrencies supports that they are becoming more integrated and thereby, provides important investment strategies for investors and policy implications for regulators.
LOMBER DİSK HERNİSİ TEDAVİSİNDE OZON TERAPİNİN ETKİNLİĞİ: 1098 HASTANIN SONUÇLARININ SİSTEMATİK DERLEMESİ
Authors: SOLAK GÖRMÜŞ Z Işık , YARGIÇ Melda Pelin , ÇELEN Murat Cenk
Published: December 2022

Ozon terapi, lomber disk hernisi tedavisinde, intradiskal enjeksiyon ve paravertebral kas içi enjeksiyon şeklinde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu sistematik derlemenin amacı, lomber disk herniasyonu tedavisinde ozon tedavisinin etkinliğinin randomize kontrollü çalışma sonuçlarına göre değerlendirilmesidir. Pubmed, Google Akademik ve Science Direct veritabanlarında yapılan arama sonucunda elde edilen 105 makale incelenerek 9 adet randomize kontrollü araştırma sistematik derleme kapsamına alınmıştır. Araştırmalarda ozonun intradiskal ya da paravertebral yolla, 20 μg/ml ile 60 μg/ml arasında değişen konsantrasyonlarda kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Araştırmalarda sadece ozon uygulaması yapılabildiği gibi, bazı araştırmalar ozon enjeksiyonunun etkisini başka tedavi yöntemleriyle kombinasyon halinde kullandığı saptanmıştır. Araştırmalarda değerlendirme parametresi olarak genelde ağrının görsel analog skala (GAS) ile ölçüldüğü görülmüştür. Randomize kontrollü çalışma sonuçları, ozon terapinin lomber disk hernisi tedavisinde konvansiyonel ilaç tedavisine kıyasla daha etkili olduğu ve minimal invaziv tedavilere eklendiğinde ise tedavi etkinliğini artırdığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca cerrahiye kıyasla daha az hastanede yatış süresine ve daha düşük tedavi maliyetine yol açmaktadır.
Rediscovery of Crataegus pisifera (Rosaceae: Maleae)
Authors: Gilman Arthur V. , Haines Arthur
Published: December 2022

Field searches in 2021 resulted in rediscovery of the pea-fruited hawthorn, Crataegus pisifera Sarg. (C. succulenta var. pisifera (Sarg.) Kruschke), a Vermont endemic known with confidence only from the type collections made in 1901. Collections made throughout the 2021 growing season from the type locality and from new populations nearby confirm its continued presence on the Vermont landscape. Additional morphological characterization is presented and deviations from the original description are discussed. Mature fruits in late October measured 7.2–11.2 mm in diameter, averaging 9.2 mm, larger than the immature fruits described in the literature. Thus, fruit diameter fails to separate C. pisifera from closely related C. succulenta varieties. We present a key, the first range map, and the first published illustrations of this long-lost species; we also include a second-step lectotypification that clarifies which of two available herbarium sheets is the one to be regarded as the lectotype.
Two new species of Cyperus (Cyperaceae) from Mexico and Venezuela
Authors: Tucker Gordon C.
Published: December 2022

Based on study of herbarium specimens, Cyperus rosattii is described as a new species from Venezuela. Known from a single collection from the Orinoco lowlands, it appears to be most similar to Cyperus swartzii and C. aggregatus. Similarly, Cyperus gonzaleziae is described as a new species from eastern Mexico (coastal region of Veracruz); it appears to be most similar to C. pallidicolor and C. regiomontanus.

Published: December 2022

Streptanthus squamiformis Goodman (Brassicaceae) is a plant narrowly endemic to the Athens Plateau; Central Hills, Ridges, and Valleys; and Central Mountain Ranges ecoregions of the Ouachita Mountains, and previously known from five adjacent counties in western Arkansas and southeastern Oklahoma. We document a 100-km range extension of this species to Perry County in central Arkansas, its first occurrence in the Fourche Mountains Ecoregion.
Distribution of Helianthus paradoxus (Asteraceae) and Agalinis calycina (Orobanchaceae) on Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico, U.S.A.
Authors: Johnson William P. , Beauchamp Jeffrey S.
Published: December 2022

Helianthus paradoxus (Asteraceae) is listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA), and Agalinis calycina (Orobanchaceae) is currently being considered for listing under the ESA. We surveyed H. paradoxus in 2018 and A. calycina from 2018 to 2020 in order to document their distribution and abundance on Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge (BLNWR), New Mexico. In 2018, H. paradoxus coverage was estimated to total 41.32 ha, with approximately 12,691,116 plants, and A. calycina coverage was estimated to total 1.45 ha, with approximately 107,338 plants. Approximately 0.56 ha of A. calycina coverage, totaling about 105,073 plants, fell in areas also mapped as H. paradoxus polygons. This accounted for about 39% of the A. calycina area in 2018. No A. calycina plants were detected in 2019, and in 2020 detections were limited to individual plants. BLNWR is one of only two areas where both plants occur, but A. calycina has a far more restricted distribution on BLNWR than H. paradoxus, occurring only in wetland management units. As with prior surveys, A. calycina abundance is highly variable from year-to-year. Periodic comprehensive surveys (once every 5 years) are needed in order to access status and trends. Further, we suggest that an index be developed that can characterize germination and establishment conditions for A. calycina into good, average, and poor conditions in order to meaningfully assess long-term trends.

The Impact of Affective Factors in English Speaking Skills
Authors: Kiruthiga E. , Christopher G.
Published: December 2022

Language learning is a part of the psychological process as it is based on the individual differences of various learners. Speaking skills are classified as the abilities that allow us to speak meaningfully with one another. It provides us with the ability to express information verbally. Affective factors such as self-esteem, self-confidence, anxiety, fear of failure, shyness, motivation, attitude, empathy, and so on influence the development of speaking skills. These affective factors are crucial in second language acquisition. Negative affective factors hinder English speaking skills, whereas positive affective factors facilitate English speaking skills. According to Stephen Krashen, learners will only learn a language when they want to learn it. As a result, it is the language teacher’s prime objective to deal with both the positive and negative affective factors of the learners. This study gives a detailed look at the negative affective factors and also talks about how important positive affective factors are for learning a second language.
The Monomyth or the Hero’s Journey in William Faulkner’s Screenplays: The Last Slaver and Drums Along the Mohawk
Authors: Boukemmouche Hanane , Al-Khawaldeh Samira
Published: December 2022

Numerous critical works have dealt with the fiction of William Faulkner. However, little research has been done about his significant work for the screen. Most studies that have dealt with Faulkner’s screenplays focus on comparing between the fiction and the screenplays detecting especially how cinematic elements have found their way into the author’s works of literature. Hence, this article explores two of Faulkner’s 1930s screenplays, looking at the narrative structures of the scripts, seeking to find out to what extent they are consistent with the structure of the monomyth, the concept introduced by Joseph Campbell. Moreover, the study depicts the main stages of the monomyth, or the hero’s journey, as it traces the main protagonist’s path from the start of his quest till he reaches the end of his adventure and goes through the main trials he has to experience. By applying Campbell’s theory of the mythological hero’s journey and referring to Carl Jung’s ideas on the process of individuation, the study exhibits the psychological development of the main protagonists through the different phases of the monomyth and presents their final transformation and full growth as a result of the tests they have undertaken throughout the journey.
