Responding to the Climate Crisis: The Importance of Virtual Conferencing Post-Pandemic
Authors: Rissman Lilia , Jacobs Cassandra
Published: December 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought in-person academic conferences to a halt. A current pressing question among researchers in our field is whether we should return to the pre-pandemic conference model when travel is safe again. We present evidence suggesting that the answer is no. We surveyed 489 researchers studying human behavior and cognition about their pre-pandemic conference attendance, what they value in conferencing, and their attitudes toward solutions for making conferences more sustainable. We found that researchers’ average carbon footprints from conference travel are unsustainable in light of recommendations from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. We also found that researchers are positively inclined towards a variety of changes that would make conferences more sustainable. Given these results, it will be essential for future conference organizers to provide more sustainable and accessible options, including a virtual option for participation at every conference. For attendees to choose virtual formats, it will be important for conference organizers to provide virtual experiences that are as fulfilling as possible, changes which can also be applied to in-person conferencing. We envision a future of conferencing that is more productive, accessible, and environmentally conscious.
Bacurau as Science-Fiction Revenge Fantasy
Authors: Dias Jocimar
Published: December 2020

When Bacurau (dir. Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles, 2019) was released in Brazil, it was mainly received as a left-wing critique of the rise of the far right in the country’s political landscape. But some critics argued that the feature’s insistence on graphic violence was actually a celebration of barbarism, equating the oppressed villagers to their genocidal oppressors. This article refutes this view, borrowing from the analysis of science-fiction revenge fantasies and also following Foucault’s genealogical perspective. It argues that Bacurau actually reenacts Brazil’s foundational colonial violence through its complex temporality, in order to rediscover the forgotten past of real struggles that remain surreptitiously inserted in all levels of society, perhaps in the hope that new ways of resistance may flourish from its spectatorial experience.

Authors: Pigawati Bitta , Ghaisani Shabrina
Published: December 2020

Abstract. The increase in population has an impact on increasing the demand for land. In addition, the available land in the city is relatively limited. Therefore, the development leads to the peri-urban area. The development of the core city will have an impact on the physical, social, and economic transformation of the peri-urban area. Interactions that occur between rural-urban areas can affect the development of peri-urban areas. Interaction between rural-urban areas also occurs in Mranggen Sub – district as the peri – urban area of Semarang. This study aims to examine changes in the typology of peri-urban areas in Mranggen Sub – district, Demak District in 2008 - 2018. This research used a quantitative descriptive method with a spatial approach. The remote sensing data were used as the main data source and document review as secondary data. The change in the typology of Potential Urban to Semi Urban was caused by changes in people's livelihoods, increased education, percentage of permanent buildings, educational facilities, and health facilities. The change in typology from Semi Urban to Predominantly Urban is caused by various variables that cause increasingly urbanization. The results showed a change in the study area, 7 villages changed from the typology of Potential Urban to Semi Urban and 2 villages changed from the Semi Urban typology to Predominantly Urban.
FACTORS AFFECTING INDIVIDUALS' CREATIVITY PERFORMANCE: PATERNALIST LEADERSHIP, MANAGEMENT INNOVATION AND PSYCHOLOGICAL OWNERSHIP
Authors: SÖZBİLİR Fikret
Published: December 2020

Paternalistic leadership, management innovation, psychological ownership and creativity performance are the most important approaches for organisations to gain a competitive advantage. This study aims to examine the impact of paternalistic leadership, management innovation, and psychological ownership on creativity performance. Besides, it aimed to provide recommendations based on results regarding the impact of paternalistic leadership and management innovation on psychological ownership and creativity performance. In this empirical study, the data on perceptions concerning paternalistic leadership, management innovation, psychological ownership, and creativity performance were gathered using a questionnaire completed by 119 school vice-principals and 94 school principals, all employed in schools in Artvin, Turkey. The data were analysed with the SmartPLS software and presented in seven tables. The findings showed that management innovation and psychological ownership have a positive impact on creativity performance. The results also revealed that paternalistic leadership has a significant impact on management innovation and psychological ownership. However, it is determined that paternalistic leadership does not have a significant impact on creativity performance.
ETHICAL LEADERSHIP VERSUS PERCEIVED ORGANISATIONAL POLITICS AND WORK NEGLECT: A TIME LAGGED MULTI-LEVEL SURVEY
Authors: BAŞAR Ufuk
Published: December 2020

This research aimed to uncover whether ethical leadership had a role in preventing perceived organisational politics and its undesired consequences, such as work neglect through employees' loyalty to the organisation. Data were collected from 418 employees who report to 52 supervisors and work at four different five-star hotels in Antalya, Turkey, using self-report questionnaires in three distinct periods. Because employees were nested in their leaders, data were analysed using Hierarchical Linear Modeling technique. Findings indicated that ethical leadership resulted in loyalty and perceived organisational politics resulted in work neglect. However, there were negative relationships between ethical leadership and perceived organisational politics and ethical leadership and work neglect. Perceived organisational politics mediated the relationship between ethical leadership and work neglect. Moreover, loyalty mediated the relationships between ethical leadership and perceived organisational politics and between ethical leadership and work neglect.

Published: December 2020

Türkiye’de para ve sermaye piyasalarında aktif şekilde faaliyet gösteren bankalar, finansal sistemin en önemli ayaklarından birini oluşturmaktadır. Günümüz itibariyle güçlü kurumlara ve modern bir bankacılık anlayışına sahip olan Türk bankacılık sektörünün geldiği noktanın doğru değerlendirilmesi adına sektörün tarihsel süreç içinde geçirdiği değişim ve dönüşümün kavranması büyük önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada Türk bankacılık sektörünün tarihsel gelişimi kronolojik olarak incelenmiştir.  Bu kapsamda Türk bankacılık tarihinin 19. yüzyıla kadar uzandığı ve Osmanlı döneminde banker ve sarrafların faaliyetleri ile başladığı tespit edilmiştir. Cumhuriyet öncesinde daha çok yüksek kamu borçlanmalarını finanse etmek üzere faaliyet gösteren bankalar, Cumhuriyet’in ilk yıllarında ise, sanayi sektörünün finanse edilmesinde görev almıştır. Bu süreçte özel sektörün güçlenerek, özel bankaların kurulduğu tespit edilmiştir. Planlı dönemde ise, bankacılık sektörü için istikrarsız büyüme ve enflasyondan kaynaklanan zorluklar yaşanmıştır. 1980 yılından sonra piyasa ekonomisine geçiş ile, bankacılık sektöründe birçok yenilik meydana gelmiştir. Ancak 1990’dan sonra, yüksek kamu borçları ve yüksek enflasyon nedeniyle, bankacılık sektörü zor yıllar yaşamıştır. Yaşanan krizlerin ardından bankacılık sektöründe, yeniden yapılandırma süreci başlamış ve kredi hacmi ilerleyen yıllarda oldukça genişlemiştir. Mevcut durum itibariyle, Türk bankacılık sektörü sağlam mali yapısı ile faaliyetlerini sürdürmektedir.

Published: December 2020

Kalitenin bir gereklilik olarak görülmesinin değişmesi ve kalitenin bir zorunluluk halini alması, sürdürülebilir kalitenin gelişmesindeki temel etken olarak görünmektedir. Kalite algıları bu anlamda önem kazanır. Kalite algısını belirleyen etmenlerden beri özellikle yönetici kademesindeki çalışanların psikolojik iyi halleri olabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sürdürülebilir kalite algısının kadın ve erkek yöneticilerin psikolojik iyi oluşlarına göre açıklayıcılığını test etmektir. Bu kapsamda bilişim ve elektronik sektörlerinde tam zamanlı çalışan 388 kişinin sürdürülebilir kalite algıları ve psikolojik iyi oluşları ölçüldü. Yönetici ve çalışan gruplarından toplanan veri üzerinde çoklu gruplu yapısal eşitlik modellemesi yapıldı. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, iş tatmini kontrol edildiğinde, psikolojik iyi oluşlarının kalite algıları üzerindeki açıklayıcılığı kadın ve erkek yönetici gruplarına göre farklılaşmaktadır. Buna göre düşük psikolojik iyi oluş olduğunda kadın ve erkek yöneticiler benzer düzeyde düşük kalite algısına sahiptirler. Yüksek iyi oluş yaşadıklarında ise kadın yöneticilerin kalite algısı erkek yöneticilerin kalite algısına göre daha yüksek olmaktadır. Kadın yöneticiler, psikolojik iyi halleri yüksek olduğunda daha yüksek sürdürülebilir kalite atfı yapabilirler.

THE EVALUATION OF THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG PERCEIVED RISK OF DELIVERY, ONLINE PURCHASE ATTITUDE, AND INTENTION OF CONSUMERS
Authors: BAŞYAZICIOĞLU Hayriye Nur
Published: December 2020

Although online shopping offers many benefits to consumers such as product variety, price comparison opportunity, space, and time convenience, it is seen that the online purchase intention of consumers is affected by the risks of online shopping. In the literature, the risks of online shopping have been examined in general, but it has been found that delivery risk, one of the essential elements of online shopping, has not been addressed in detail. Therefore, this study aims to examine the perceived delivery risks of consumers in online shopping. For this purpose, primary data was collected with a face-to-face survey method from 482 respondents. The confirmatory factor analysis determined that the perceived delivery risk consisted of four factors, namely product risk, non-delivery risk, financial risk, and time risk. In the second stage, the effects of these risks on online purchase attitude and intention were analysed with path analysis. Therefore, this study is thought to fill an essential gap in the literature and will guide future studies.
Ablation of TGFBR3 (betaglycan) in oocytes does not affect fertility in female mice
Authors: Li Yining , Lin Yeu-Farn , Zhou Xiang , Clarke Hugh J , Bernard Daniel J
Published: December 2020

Ovarian follicle development is regulated by locally produced TGFβ superfamily members. The TGFβ type III receptor (TGFBR3, or betaglycan), which regulates the actions of diverse TGFβ ligands, including inhibins, is expressed in different ovarian cell types. However, its functional roles in the ovary have not been investigated in vivo. Here, we ablated Tgfbr3 in murine oocytes using the Cre-loxP system. Oocyte-specific Tgfbr3 knockout (cKO) females were fertile, producing litters of similar size and frequency as controls. Their ovarian weights and histology were also normal. Though we confirmed efficient recombination of the floxed alleles, we did not detect Tgfbr3 mRNA in purified oocytes from superovulated cKO or control mice. These results challenge earlier observations of betaglycan protein expression in this cell type. Regardless, Tgfbr3 in the murine oocyte is clearly dispensable for female fertility.

The article presents the results of a taxonomic revision of the species diversity of cyanobacteria in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea according to literature and original data. For the period from 1870 to 2019, 98 species from 44 genera of Cyanophyceae were found off the Caspian coast of Azerbaijan. Phormidium Kützing ex Gomont, Chroococcus Nägeli, Lyngbya C. Agardh ex Gomont, Oscillatoria Vaucher ex Gomont, Merismopedia F.J.F.Meyen and Spirulina Turpin ex Gomont lead in species number. 64 species from 32 genera were found in both plankton and benthos. 33 species from 20 genera of cyanobacteria were common for these communities. Off the coast of Azerbaijan, 64.7% of the genera and 48.0% of the species of сyanobacteria known for the Caspian Sea as a whole have been identified, which indicates that the marine cyanoflora of Azerbaijan has been studied quite fully. The analysis of ecological and biogeographic features of the identified species is given. Among the cyanobacteria of the Azerbaijani coast, the inhabitants of fresh waters are the most numerous (39.2%), followed by freshwater/brackish and brackish species (35.1% together), marine species are the third (16.5%). The predominance of freshwater and brackish forms reflects the specificity of the Caspian Sea as a closed water body with a lower salinity in comparison with oceanic waters. By ecotopic confinement, most of the species found are known as benthic (62.9%), the proportion of truly planktonic species is 29.9%. At the same time, film-forming species are widely represented not only in benthic communities (82.8%), but also in the water column, where they account for about half of the identified species (48.5%). This is related to the hydrological features of coastal ecotopes, where the surf-wave impact on the marine littoral contributes to the penetration of bottom filaments into the water column. The geographical spectrum is characterized by the predominance of species with a cosmopolitan (45.4%) and sub-cosmopolitan (30.9%) distribution, which reflects the tense ecological situation in the region.

Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the generalization of the existing information concerning dinoflagellates of the Crimea. A list of dinoflagellate species of continental waters of the peninsula and the Crimean coast (Black and Azov seas) of Ukraine was compiled. It is based on the analysis of literature and original data obtained in 1987, 1992-1993 and 2011 in the Black Sea. The list of dinoflagellata species of Crimea includes 196 species (206 infraspecific taxa) belonging to 64 genera, 36 families, 15 orders and 3 classes. Eighteen species have been recorded in the fresh and salt water bodies and mud volcanoes of the least studied continental part of Crimea; half of them were also found in marine waters. Dinoflagellates of the Azov coast of Crimea and the Kerch Strait are similar in number of species, but differ significantly in composition (26 and 31 species, respectively; only 13 (25%) of them are common). The greatest number of species of dinoflagellates found on the Black Sea coast of Crimea. It is almost half of all species known for the Black Sea (196 and 447, respectively). To compare the species richness of dinoflagellates from different regions of the Crimea, survey data covering all areas in a short period of time are of great importance. A total of 74 species of dinoflagellates belonging to 3 classes, 11 orders, 22 families and 30 genera were found off the coast of Crimea. The most species-rich genera are Protoperidinium Bergh (17), Dinophysis Ehrenb. (8), Gymnodinium F.Stein (7) and Prorocentrum Ehrenb. (6). Based on the analysis of original and literature data and the criterion of similarity of the species composition of Crimean dinoflagellates, it’s division into five algofloristic regions is proposed: the western Black Sea coast of Crimea (from Karkinitsky Bay to Cape Aya); southeastern (from Ayia to Takil), Kerch Strait, Azov coast of Crimea and land (which, in turn, is divided into steppe and mountainous Crimean regions). It is in compliance with the algofloristic zoning of Ukraine.

The article represents the results of long-term algological studies of hyperhaline reservoirs of the northwestern coast of the Azov Sea. The features of the floristic composition and taxonomic structure of algae in aquatic (water column and bottom), aquatic-terrestrial (water’s edge, dried up water bodies, drying area) and terrestrial (elevated non-flooding areas) habitats of these objects are displayed. A specificity of the studied algoflora lies in the absence of representatives of certain characteristic phyla for the salt-water and non-saline land and water habitats of the territory of Ukraine. It was established that species composition of the studied reservoirs is depleted in comparison with other non-saline and marine ecosystems. Totally, 123 algae species were identified. They represente 7 phyla, 10 classes, 27 orders, 47 families, 68 genera. The largest number of species included three phyla: Cyanoprocaryota – 65 species (52.9% of the total number of identified species), Bacillariophyta – 26 (21.1%), Chlorophyta – 22 (17.9%). The first places among the six leading orders were taken by cyanoprocaryotes from Oscillatoriales, Nostocales, Chroococcales and diatoms from Naviculales. The most numerous species at the family level are trichomous cyanoprocaryotes from Nostocaceae, Pseudanabaenaceae, and Phormidiaceae. There were found 23 leading genera – their species richness exceeds the average indicator (1.81 species). According to the results of original studies, it was noted that all taxonomic levels of algoflora of the hyperhaline reservoirs shows features of not only saline habitats, but also of the freshwater, marine and terrestrial extreme ecosystems. Such diversity of the algal population indicates an unstable hydrological regime and complex relations of water exchange between the hyperhaline reservoirs and nearby terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
Phytoperiphyton of watercourses from the White Sea Basin (Murmansk District, Republic of Karelia, Russia)
Authors:   Institute of Biology of Karelian Research Centre RAS, 11 Pushkinskaya Str., Petrozavodsk 185610, Russia, Komulaynen S.F.
Published: December 2020

The results of phytoperiphyton studies in 92 watercourses of the White Sea basin are summarized and analyzed. Totally 540 taxa with a rank below the genus were identified. They belong to six divisions: Cyanophyta – 76, Ochrophyta – 374, Euglenophyta – 3, Dinophyta – 4, Rhodophyta – 8 and Chlorophyta – 75. Diatoms, cyanobacteria and chlorophytes form the basis of the species diversity (> 90%) in all studied rivers. The predominance of these groups reflects the specificity of the phytoperiphyton in the river systems of the boreal and subarctic zones. Leading families are Naviculaceae (174 species), Achnanthaceae (45), Desmidiaceae (43) and Fragilaceaceae (36). Together they cover 337 species or 65% of the total number of species found. The group of leading genera (187 species, 35%) includes Eunotia – 36 species, Achnanthes – 33, Navicula – 48, Pinnularia – 39, and Cymbella – 31 species. The heterogeneity of the climatic regime in the study area determines the simultaneous presence in the algae flora of widespread eurythermic species characteristic of the taiga zone, stenothermic rheophiles of alpine origin and the boreal complex typical of wetlands. The dominant complex is represented by a small number of species resistant to dynamic water loading. It is noted that the ecological-geographical spectra of algae are dominated by widespread oligogalobic species, acidophilic or indifferent to the pH of the medium. The relative importance of indicator species in the formation of groupings allows to refer the waters of the studied watercourses and reservoirs to the second class of purity.
THE EARLY STAGES OF FERROMANGANESE ORE GENESIS ON THE GUYOTS OF THE MAGELLAN SEAMOUNTS (THE PACIFIC OCEAN)
Authors: Sobisevich A.L.
Published: December 2020

The success of recently developed geological and geophysical methods and technologies for monitoring of mud volcanoes in the Kerch-Taman region is eventually based on the fundamental scientific results accumulated at the turn of the century under the overall leadership of the Academician E.F. Shnyukov. The results of geological and geophysical studies of the Mount Karabetov mud volcano (Taman Peninsula) featuring the passive seismoacoustic sounding method are presented. New data on the spatial configuration of subvertical fluid-saturated structures associated with the volcano's feeding system were obtained. Subsequent common interpretation of the geophysical data and the results of the structural-geomorphologic observations allowed one to formulate a consistent hypothesis on the possible deep mechanism of mud volcanic activity responsible for the mostly paroxysmal nature of eruptions of the Mount Karabetov.
VELOCITY MODEL OF THE UPPER MANTLE OF THE FLANKING PLATEAUS OF MID-OCEANIC RIDGES
Authors: GORDIENKO V.V. , GORDIENKO L.Ya.
Published: December 2020

A new element is included in the study of velocity sections of the upper mantle of regions of continents, oceans, and transition zones with different endogenous regimes (according to the advection-polymorphic hypothesis — APH). This is the flanking plateaus (FP) of the mid-ocean ridges (MOR). It is assumed that these regions underwent the process of oceanization in the Mesozoic along with other parts of the oceans. In the Neogene MORs were formed. Significant parts of the basins were engulfed in modern activation, including magmatism. Between these parts of the oceans, relatively narrow strips (200—300 km wide) have survived, which some authors refer to as flanking plateaus. They are located at the edges of the MOR. FP did not experience young activization. This is indicated by the features of the bottom topography, magnetic, gravitational and thermal fields, and a velocity section of the upper horizons of the mantle. An element of checking the nature of the FP can be the construction of a velocity section of the mantle beneath these regions. According to the APH, it should differ from the neighboring ones by the increased velocity of seismic waves in the upper about 200 km. The experimental data for such work turned out to be extremely small. It was possible to build only one travel-time, using data on the southern part of the Atlantic Ocean. Insignificant information was also attracted on the southern part of the East Pacific Rise and the Mid-Indian Ridge. The travel-time corresponds to the velocity section, which completely coincides with the forecast. The latter was calculated according to the heat and mass transfer scheme in the APH version and the thermal model of the mantle. The velocity section of the FP mantle does not contain indications of a partial melting layer. Consequently, there should be no manifestations of young magmatism in FP. Verification showed that in most of the studied fragments of MOR this is true.

Introducción. El diagnóstico y manejo oportuno de la diabetes gestacional (DG) y el adecuado control de factores de riesgo asociados permiten disminuir su impacto negativo en la salud materna y perinatal. Objetivos. Determinar la prevalencia de DG en un hospital de tercer nivel de Colombia e identificar los factores asociados a esta condición, así como los resultados materno-perinatales en esta población, tras la implementación de los criterios de la Asociación Internacional de Grupos de Estudio de Diabetes y Embarazo (IADPSG).
Materiales y métodos. Estudio transversal en el que se realizó un análisis de datos secundarios. Mediante muestreo consecutivo se incluyeron 533 gestantes con reporte de prueba diagnóstica de DG y que dieron a luz en el Hospital Universitario San José de Popayán, Colombia, entre julio de 2017 y marzo de 2018. Se analizaron variables sociales, biológicas y psicológicas. Para la identificación de los factores y resultados materno- perinatales asociados se utilizó el Odds Ratio como medida de asociación (IC: 95%). Además, se realizó un análisis multivariado para controlar las variables de confusión.
Resultados. La prevalencia de DG fue del 16.32% (IC95%:13.28-19.73). Se identificaron los siguientes factores asociados a DG: edad >35 (OR=2.26; IC95%: 1.23-4.14), raza indígena (OR=6.60; IC95%: 1.17-37.15), IMC preconcepcional >25 (OR=2.26; IC95%: 1.23-4.14), antecedente de feto macrosómico (OR=10.07; IC95%: 1.50-67.34) y antecedente familiar de diabetes mellitus (OR=3.17; IC95%: 1.39-7.22). Respecto a los resultados materno-perinatales, se encontró una asociación significativa con inducción del trabajo de parto (OR=4.41; IC95%: 1.71-11.39), cesárea de urgencia (OR=2.22; IC95%: 1.33-3.73) y electiva (OR=2.79; IC95%: 1.51-5.18), macrosomia por percentil >90 (OR=2.78; IC95%: 1.29-5.98) y hospitalización neonatal (OR=8.1; IC95%: 4.48-18.62).
Conclusiones. La prevalencia de DG en el presente estudio es mayor a la reportada en investigaciones realizadas en Colombia, pero similar a la descrita en la mayoría de estudios que han seguido los criterios de la IADPSG. Los factores y los resultados maternos-perinatales en los que se observó una asociación estadísticamente significativa con la DG son similares a los reportados en la mayoría de la literatura consultada.
The media paradox: influence on human shark perceptions and potential conservation impacts
Authors: Ostrovski Raquel Lubambo , Violante Guilherme Martins , De Brito Mariana Reis , Valentin Jean Louis , Vianna Marcelo
Published: December 2020

Sharks, due to some of their characteristics such as prominent teeth and size, cause fear in many people. This feeling can be evidenced due to encounters with these animals or sustained by media information. Currently, negative information on these animals, present in movies and the news, for example, has contributed to a worldwide feeling of "fear" or "anger" towards sharks in the general public. On the other hand, efforts to better understand these animals have increased. In addition to films and documentaries, many scientific and environmental education groups have attempted to improve or alleviate, public perception concerning this significant fear and promote shark conservation. In this context, we analyzed the perceptions of 354 people living in Rio de Janeiro, a coastal city in southeastern Brazil, by applying a structured online questionnaire about sharks. The findings reported herein indicate direct media influence on respondent perceptions, according to the “good” or “bad” image that media vehicles pass on concerning these animals, and that, despite an established fear of sharks, public support for their conservation is maintained. The factor analysis indicated a relationship between older people and more fear, and less fear among people aged 20-40 years. We believe that the lesser fear in the latter is related to the influence of the current media in this age group, such as documentaries and social networks, while older respondents lived in a period with less environmental information and became more susceptible to shark negative films and media, in which the fear persists today.

Introduction. The forest industry played an important role in the economy of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Russia and the Soviet Union and took a significant place in the project of “socialist industrialization” of the late 1920s – early 1940s. One of the key indicators of the functioning of the industry is the cost of gross products, including per worker. The historiography of this topic consists mainly of studies of foreign and domestic scientists on the Soviet economy and works on the history of the regional forest industry. The idea of the dynamics of the cost of gross output of the forest industry during the period of “socialist industrialization” is not formed, which actualizes the analysis of its functioning during the years of active development. The chronological framework of the study is 1927/1928–1937, the period of implementation of the first and second five-year plans. Materials and Methods. The theoretical and methodological basis is the concept of modernization. The peculiarities of statistical accounting of feasibility indicators in the forest industry, the application of “unchanged” prices 1926/1927 are justified. Results. The conclusion was made about the uneven dynamics of the cost of gross products (including per worker) among the components of the forest industry. At a faster pace, labour productivity increased in the forest chemical, furniture industries, the production of standard houses and building parts. The area of timber harvesting showed the slowest pace. According to the results of two five-year plans, the planned values of gross production and labour productivity in the timber industry were not achieved. Discussion and Conclusions. The first five-year plan outlined a significant increase in the cost of gross output of the forest industry and an increase in their share in the industry of the Soviet Union by this indicator. In the second five-year plan, the pace of development of the complex was assumed to be lower than in the country’s industry. With a significant overall increase in the cost of gross output in 1926–1934, labour productivity increased slowly. The use of data on the Ural Economic Region, one of the leading regional timber complexes in the country, demonstrated the preservation of low rates of labour productivity growth in 1935–1938.

At this time the growth of information technology very quick which has significant impact on human life. This encourage changes in various sectors of people life along with the development of information and Comunication of Technology (ICT). Even the Government which utilizes information technology system, namely Electronic Government. The city of Surakarta, especially BPPKAD Surakarta has to begun to implement e-Government in the area of local tax services, one of which is E-SPTPD or Electronic Regional Tax Return to facilitate report and payment of local taxes. However, the successful use of e-Government is not accompanied by success at the user level. Therefore, this study will determine the factors that affect the acceptance of E-SPTPD service users in Surakarta. This study uses Unified Model of Electronic Government (UMEGA). This research was conducted by distributing questionnaires with a total sample of 74 local taxpayers in the city of Surakarta. Data analysis using the Structural Equation Model (SEM-PLS) with the Smart PLS 3 application. The results of this study indicate that the factors that influence E-SPTPD service users are performance expectation, social influence, user attitudes. When the level of use and interest of service users, especially local taxpayers, increases, it will increase the compliance of local taxpayers to be able to report and pay taxes in a timely manner. So that this compliance will increase local tax revenue.

In line with the rapid development of the times and the increasingly complex problems faced by the state, there has also been a development in government administration which has been marked by a shift in the paradigm of governance from Rule Governance. This situation makes the bureaucracy rigid, in an environment that is only limited to flowing the instructions or following instructions. The district government in an Asologaima District has the main task of carrying out part of the authority delegated by the district head in the fields of government, economy, and development, society, peace, and order as well as coordination.The method is sed is descriptive method. Bureaucrats as providers of public services must be able to provide quality services, the quality of service of bureaucrats to society is closely related to customer satisfaction or consumer satisfaction as the recipient of the service itself.

Se analiza el manejo de los residuos peligrosos  y de las aguas residuales de los talleres de servicio mecánico y sus posibles afectaciones al ambiente, así como las causas del inadecuado manejo de los mismos. El estudio se realizó en la ciudad de Guasave, Sinaloa, México, que cuenta con 273 talleres de servicio mecánico en el sector urbano; se aplicó un cuestionario de opción múltiple tipo encuesta a una muestra aleatoria de 72 establecimientos para obtener información del manejo de sus residuos y descargas, la normatividad ambiental, entrevistas a autoridades ambientales y a personal de la Junta de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado  para obtener una visión integral en torno al cumplimiento de las leyes, reglamentos y normas ambientales. Los resultados indican  que los propietarios de estos establecimientos incumplen con la normatividad ambiental en el manejo de sus descargas residuales y residuos peligrosos, principalmente por razones económicas ya que son micro y pequeñas empresas preocupadas por la supervivencia; así como el desinterés de los empresarios provocado por  la escasa inspección y vigilancia de parte de las autoridades ambientales; acciones que provocan afectaciones tanto al medio ambiente, como a la salud de los pobladores y al sistema de drenaje y alcantarillado de la ciudad.

Published: December 2020

PURPOSE: We investigated whether relative handgrip strength (RHS) and change in handgrip strength predicted Type 2 DM incidence in middle-aged and older adults.METHODS: Total of 29,098 participants (8,609 men and 20,489 women) aged 40-69 who were free of diabetes at the baseline examination drawn from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study-Urban Health Examinees cohort (KoGES-HEXA), a large prospective population-based study. RHS was assessed with a dynamometer and divided by body mass index. Diabetes was defined as selfreported physician-diagnosed diabetes, use of anti-diabetic medications or measured fasting glucose ≥126 mg/dl, or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) ≥6.5%. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was used to estimate the hazard ratio (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of Diabetes incidences according to baseline RHS levels and RHS changes.RESULTS: During a mean follow-up period of 4 years (49.8±13.3 month), 1,167 (4.0%) participants developed diabetes. Compared with the high RHS group, higher risk of diabetes incidence was observed in low RHS group (men HR=1.28, 95% CI 1.06-1.55, women HR=1.32, 95% CI 1.12-1.54) after adjusted for age, triglyceride, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, marriage, income, education hypertension, family history of diabetes, fasting glucose, regular exercise. In addition, compared with the sustained high RHS group, sustained low RHS group showed an increased risk of diabetes incidence (men HR=1.60, 95% CI 1.28-2.00, women HR=1.85, 95% CI 1.52-2.24) after adjustment. However, the risk was not statistically significant in increased RHS group (men HR=0.98, 95% CI 0.73-1.31, women HR=1.11, 95% CI 0.85-1.43).CONCLUSIONS: The present findings indicate that RHS is independently associated with the risk of incident diabetes in middle and older adults. RHS measurement may be useful to identify individuals at increased risk for diabetes incidence. Maintaining a high level of RHS is important strategies for diabetes prevention among adults.
The Limits of Applicability of the Method of Discontinuous Solutions in the Study of Pipe Drawing Processes

Introduction. Non-contact deformation of the workpiece material, which occurs along the boundaries of the deformation zone, is one of the main factors determining the energy-power parameters of pipe reduction processes. The most widespread practice in the design of metal forming processes is the method of discontinuous solutions, which makes it quite simple to take into account non-contact deformation in numerical simulation of processes. However, for most processes in the technical literature there are no systematic practical recommendations on the application of this method, which inevitably leads to a mismatch of theoretical principles and practice. The aim of the work is to determine the limits of applicability of the method of discontinuous solutions for processes of faultless drawing of pipes through a conical die, depending on the geometric parameters of the workpiece, tool, as well as the degree of deformation and hardening of the processed material. Research Methods. The model of the deformation zone for the process of flawless drawing is considered in two versions: by the method of discontinuous solutions and taking into account non-contact bends of the pipe wall. From the condition of the balance of the shear forces acting on the conditional shear surface and the bending moments caused by the bending of the pipe wall, under various deformation conditions, the boundary values of the thickness parameter are determined, at which it is advisable to carry out numerical simulation of the drawing processes using the discontinuous solution method. In this case, the calculations are performed separately for two sections of the deformation zone corresponding to the bending of the pipe wall at the entrance to and exit from the die. Results and discussions. The numerical implementation of the obtained dependences showed that at the entrance to the deformation zone, the boundary value of the thickness parameter increases with an increase in the taper angle of the die and the hood for the transition, but decreases with an increase in the anti-tension stress and the thickness parameter of the initial workpiece. At the exit from the deformation zone, the boundary value of the thick-walled parameter increases with an increase in the taper angle of the die and decreases with an increase in the stretch coefficient for the transition and the thick-walled parameter of the initial billet. If the parameter of the thickness of the initial billet exceeds the boundary value, then in numerical modeling it is advisable to use the method of discontinuous solutions. If it does not exceed, then other methods and models should be used. The results of a theoretical study can be used in the design of pipe drawing processes.
