The Sociology of Interpretation
Authors: Goldberg Amir , Singell Madison H.
Published: September 2023

Recent years have seen a growing sociological interest in meaning. In fact, some argue that sociology cannot confront its foundational questions without addressing meaning. Yet sociologists mean many things when they talk about meaning. We propose a pragmatic approach that conceptualizes meaning as an instance of an actor interpreting a stimulus. Reviewing existing literature, we find that most sociological accounts understand meaning either as categorization or as semantic association. We show that an integrated approach is analytically useful for conceptualizing shared interpretation and the process by which people coordinate their interpretations. We conclude by highlighting how recent advances in the field of computational linguistics have opened exciting new possibilities for the study of interpretation, and suggest several avenues for future research.
Evaluating Taiwan’s Endeavor in APEC under The Political Challenges from China: A Complex Network Perspective
Authors: Wang Jeffery Shih-Chieh
Published: September 2023

Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) stands out among formal intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) as Taiwan can join with full membership, albeit under certain limitations due to the suppression by the People’s Republic of China (PRC). APEC’s unique characteristics lie in its non-binding and consensus decision-making mechanisms, allowing smaller economies to influence international policy agendas. Consequently, APEC serves as an ideal platform for Taiwan to engage with other nations formally and shape regional policy agendas. However, the actual impact of Taiwan’s participation in APEC has not been empirically examined, warranting further insights and discussions. This project aims to investigate Taiwan’s involvement in Science & Technology and Trade cooperation within APEC, utilizing network centrality measures and inferential network models. The analysis of Science & Technology networks reveals that Taiwan has garnered significant co-sponsorships (In-degree centrality) and received support from highly influential countries with numerous co-sponsorships (PageRank centrality). Furthermore, Taiwan has been recognized as a credible partner (Authority centrality) due to its extensive connections with member economies that connect to strong partnerships (with Hub centrality). Conversely, Taiwan’s prominence in Trade-related cooperation is comparatively limited, possibly due to its hedging policy influenced by the US-China competition, as trade issues significantly shape APEC’s policy agendas. Finally, based on the findings derived from the Temporal Exponential Random Graph Model (TERGM), which incorporates strategic network effects including Reciprocity and Transitivity, along with actor-covariate effects containing regional identity homophily and network centralities, policy recommendations are provided to enhance Taiwan’s status in both Science & Technology and Trade cooperation networks.
Dose-dependent influence of 20-hydroxyecdyzone and leozea honey on the lifespan of honeybees under hyperthermia
Authors: Avdeev N.V.
Published: September 2023

A study was conducted on 20-hydroxyecdysone at a concentration of 10-10 mol/l to 10-7 mol/l, fed in sugar syrup on the lifespan of workers under conditions of hyperthermia (50 °C). The study was carried out both in summer and during wintering. Low concentrations of 20E up to 0.4×10-9 mol/l inclusive promoted the increase in resistance to hyperthermia, which, when increased to 2×10-9, sharply drops by 1.8 times and rises again at a concentration of 1×10-7 mol/l. It has been suggested that when exogenous 20E was supplied with food at a concentration of 2×10-9 mol/l, the enzymatic oxidation of 20E was activated, which causes a decrease in the level of endogenous 20E titer in the hemolymph and change in the sign of the effect. The change of bees survival time under hyperthermia with half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) of 20E 1×10-9 mol/l can be used as a method for determining the content of 20E. In this way it is determined that the Leuzea honey sample contains 2×10-5 mol/kg (10 mg/kg) 20E. The content of 20Е in Leuzea honey sample determined in this way was 2×10-5 mol/kg (10 mg/kg).
The influence of molecules length and the environment on DNA fragmentation by ultrasound
Authors: Garafutdinov R.R. , Galimova A.A. , Sakhabutdinova A.R. , Chemeris A.V.
Published: September 2023

Fragmentation of DNA by ultrasound is the most optimal method of artificial degradation of DNA molecules. It requires no reagents and makes it possible to obtain "pure" DNA samples for further use. However, despite an active usage of ultrasonic fragmentation in studies, a number of issues related to the applicability of mechanically degraded DNA for standard molecular biological operations remain poorly studied. This report presents data on the effect of the size of DNA molecules (on DNA amplicons) and the composition of aqueous solutions on the efficiency of DNA destruction by ultrasound. It has been shown that the rate of DNA fragmentation positively correlates with an increase in the length of molecules. In solutions with high ionic strength, the rate of fragmentation increases dramatically. The presence of organic solvents that do not affect hybridization slightly reduces the rate of ultrasonic destruction. With an increase in the length of DNA molecules, the influence of denaturing agents changes and leads to an increase in the rate of fragmentation. dsDNA molecules smaller than one persistent length (about 150 bp) are not fragmented.

Published: September 2023

Gregor Mendel is widely known as the founder of genetics, who deduced the laws of inheritance of traits on the example of peas, but he was a versatile personality, having other scientific and practical interests, about which, unfortunately, few people know. Among them is the fascination with bees, including attempts to cross them, as well as the domestication of stingless bees from South America, meteorological and astronomical observations, microscopy, crossing fruit trees, including breeding work with them by inoculation, finally, linguistics and onomastics. In many of his studies, Mendel achieved notable results in them, as in the case of peas, outstripping not only his contemporaries.
The role of phytohormones in the regulation of expression of effector genes and specific transcription factors of Stagonospora nodorum in culture

Published: September 2023

The causative agent of wheat blotch the pathogenic fungus Stagonospora nodorum Berk. is one of the most harmful wheat pathogens. Necrotrophic effectors (NE) have been identified in the pathogen, which ensure the virulence of S. nodorum strains to the host plant, in the genome of which the dominant susceptibility gene corresponding to the effector is present. Currently, the study of the regulation of the genes expression responsible for virulence is becoming an increasingly important objective. Recently, the role of various transcription factors (TFs) in the regulation of effector genes expression in the fungal pathogens has been established. However, new data are emerging on the effect of hormones on the growth, development, and virulence of pathogenic fungi. Therefore, the aim of our research was to study the effect of cytokinins (CK) and abscisic acid (ABA) on the expression of the NE SnToxA, SnTox1, SnTox3, and TF SnStuA, SnPf2, and SnCon7 genes in various isolates of the pathogen S. nodorum SnB, Sn4VD, Sn9MN-3A, and Sn1SP, which differ in virulence. Our results showed that the intensity of NE and TF gene expression was associated with the aggressiveness of the pathogen isolate, and TF gene expression correlated with NE gene expression. The highest expression of NE genes was found in SnB and Sn1SP isolates. When the hormones ABA or CK were added to the cultivation medium, they mainly had a positive effect on the expression of the NE and TF genes. ABA treatment increased the expression of all three NE genes SnToxA, SnTox3, and SnTox1. Treatment with CK had a positive effect only on the expression of the SnTox3 gene. Based on the results, an assumption was made about the indirect effect of hormones on virulence factors through the regulation of growth and metabolism of fungi.

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to determine the school principal's Alaskan system in improving teacher performance. This study uses a qualitative approach with phenomenological methods. This research was conducted at elementary school principals in Lubuklinggau City. The subjects in this study were all people seen by researchers as able to provide data about the elementary school principal's Alaskan system in improving teacher performance. The research subjects included school principals, teacher boards, and staff. Data collection techniques include; observation, interview, and documentation.

In contrast, the data analysis technique used is the data analysis method, according to Miles & Huberman, namely interactive model analysis. Data analysis took place simultaneously, which was carried out simultaneously with the data collection process with a flow of stages: data collection (data collection), data reduction (data reduction), data presentation (data display), and conclusions or verification (conclusion drawing & verifying). The study results show the Alaskan system for leaders in knowing the condition of their subordinates do not have to do blusukan every day because they remember that leaders must carry out other tasks in carrying out their duties. Blusukan can also be carried out suddenly to find out the condition of their subordinates at work, and then also, in the era of the advancement of information technology era leaders can utilize information technology tools to support the activities of carrying out blusukans such as the use of CCTV media to monitor the conditions of their subordinates at work. In conclusion, the school principal blusukan system can utilize information technology tools to support blusukan implementation activities, such as the use of CCTV media to monitor the conditions of his subordinates at work
