Assessing Climate Change in the Trinational Upper Rhine Region: How Can We Operationalize Vulnerability Using an Indicator-Based, Meso-Scale Approach?
Authors: Scholze Nicolas , Riach Nils , Glaser Rüdiger
Published: August 2020

Climate vulnerability assessments are an important prerequisite for establishing successful climate adaptation strategies. Despite a growing number of assessments on the national or global scale, there is still a need for regionalized studies with a high resolution to identify meso-scale vulnerability patterns. In this paper, we present an indicator-based assessment that was carried out in the Trinational Metropolitan Region Upper Rhine within the Interreg-V project Clim’Ability. The analyzed region is characterized by strong cross-border and transnational linkages, similar ecological features and climatic stressors but differing political, administrative, cultural and legal conditions. In this rather complex setting, we operationalized a state-of-the art vulnerability framework using 18 quantified indicators and aggregating them into a vulnerability index. We show that it is possible to downscale the methods used in recent assessments to a regional context with a challenging data situation and discuss strengths and uncertainties. The results are mapped for stakeholder communication purposes. They provide an evidence-base to the identification of the trinational vulnerability pattern and may enable stakeholders and decision-makers to enhance their own climate adaptation planning.
Corporate Default Predictions Using Machine Learning: Literature Review
Authors: Kim Hyeongjun , Cho Hoon , Ryu Doojin
Published: August 2020

Corporate default predictions play an essential role in each sector of the economy, as highlighted by the global financial crisis and the increase in credit risk. This study reviews the corporate default prediction literature from the perspectives of financial engineering and machine learning. We define three generations of statistical models: discriminant analyses, binary response models, and hazard models. In addition, we introduce three representative machine learning methodologies: support vector machines, decision trees, and artificial neural network algorithms. For both the statistical models and machine learning methodologies, we identify the key studies used in corporate default prediction. By comparing these methods with findings from the interdisciplinary literature, our review suggests some new tasks in the field of machine learning for predicting corporate defaults. First, a corporate default prediction model should be a multi-period model in which future outcomes are affected by past decisions. Second, the stock price and the corporate value determined by the stock market are important factors to use in default predictions. Finally, a corporate default prediction model should be able to suggest the cause of default.

Authors: Tang Houxing , Ma Zhenzhong , Xiao Jiuling , Xiao Lei
Published: August 2020

Knowledge management has become increasingly important in the era of knowledge economy. This study explores what is an optimal knowledge network for more efficient knowledge diffusion among strategic partners in order to provide insights on sustainable enterprises and a more knowledge-efficient innovation ecosystem. Based on simulated analyses of the efficiency of knowledge network models, including regular network, random network, and small world network, this study shows that a random knowledge network is more efficient for knowledge diffusion when a mixture knowledge trade rule is used. This study thus helps identify which knowledge networks facilitate knowledge exchange among collaborative partners for sustainable knowledge management. Management practitioners and policymakers can use the findings to design more appropriate knowledge exchange networks to improve the efficiency of knowledge diffusion in an innovation ecosystem.

Published: August 2020

A design of high-voltage multipliers to generate underwater shockwaves is one of the most important factors for successfully providing non-thermal food processing in a cost-effective manner. To be capable of fully utilizing the Cockcroft–Walton-based high-voltage multipliers for underwater shockwave generation, this paper presents a topological modification of three interesting design approaches in bipolar structure for 220 V and 50 Hz AC input to generate more than 3.5 kV DC output within short time periods. In addition to Cockcroft–Walton multipliers (CWMs), the first modified scheme employs a positive full-wave rectifier (FWR) and positive voltage multiplier block (VMB), the second modified scheme employs positive/negative half-wave rectifiers (HWRs), and the last modified scheme employs a switched-capacitor AC-AC converter. To comparatively analyze their performances, the digitally controlled operations of the modified realization schemes as well as their electrical characteristic estimation based on a four-terminal equivalent model are described in detail. The effectiveness of three modified circuit configurations and the correctness of the given theoretical analysis are verified through SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) simulation results. The formulas achieved from theoretical estimation are particularly useful when designing the proposed high-voltage multipliers (HVMs) because good agreement between the theoretical and simulation results can be achieved.
Hazard Duration Model with Panel Data for Daily Car Travel Distance: A Toyota City Case Study
Authors: He Jiahang , Yamamoto Toshiyuki , Miwa Tomio , Morikawa Takayuki
Published: August 2020

The limitation of battery size for electric vehicles has driven researchers to study driving distance. Trip patterns and traveler preferences in terms of distance are affected by multiple variables. This study, using socioeconomics, weather conditions, and vehicle characteristics as covariates, compares lognormal, log-logistic, and Weibull distribution assumptions on daily car travel distances with a parametric hazard model for both pooled and panel regression. The results reveal that the log-logistic distribution performed best for both the pooled and panel models, and the inclusion of heterogeneity by the panel model improves the model. The results suggest that the travel distances achieved by people in Toyota City, Japan, is highly dependent on the weather conditions, specifically the precipitation and wind speed. Socioeconomic indicators, such as age and gender, and vehicle characteristics, such as engine size and vehicle price, also significantly affect the car travel distance.
Road Investment and Traffic Safety: An International Study
Authors: Calvo-Poyo Francisco , Navarro-Moreno José , de Oña Juan
Published: August 2020

The aim of this study is to analyse whether the economic resources invested in roads—both investment in construction and expenditure on maintenance and conservation—have any influence on road fatality rates. Since this is a complex problem, and because there are many factors that can influence the fatality rate, other variables related to specific transport, socioeconomic and meteorological factors are also considered. The study was carried out using a panel data model, modelling road mortality as a function of 12 variables. The scope of the study is international, focusing on the interurban road network. Data were collected from 23 European countries for the period 1998–2016. The main results obtained are that both expenditure on road maintenance and conservation and the proportion of motorways in the total road network contribute to reducing road mortality. Contrariwise, greater investment in construction leads to an increase in the fatality rate.
The Grass Is Always Greener on My Side: A Field Experiment Examining the Home Halo Effect
Authors: Boso Àlex , Álvarez Boris , Oltra Christian , Garrido Jaime , Muñoz Carlos , Galvez-García Germán
Published: August 2020

Wood-burning pollution is a severe problem in southern Chile, where every winter, people are exposed to unhealthy ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations. Urban air quality is a major concern for health officials, but public awareness campaigns tend to focus on outdoor hazards. Our understanding of how residents are exposed and perceive air pollution risks in their homes remains incomplete. This study explores the ability of participants to perceive indoor air quality. We collected data on 81 households, combining perceptions of air quality with objective measurements of PM2.5. Residents’ evaluations of air quality were systematically compared to inspectors’ evaluations in order to examine the home halo effect. We found that residents tended to overestimate air quality in their homes. We discuss how our data supported the existence of a home halo effect, but also point out the possibility that individuals’ ability to perceive air quality in indoor spaces is limited by other factors.
Cost and Scenario Analysis of Intermodal Transportation Routes from Korea to the USA: After the Panama Canal Expansion
Authors: Kim Junseung , Kim Kyungku , Yuen Kum Fai , Park Keun-Sik
Published: August 2020

This study is aimed at suggesting the most economical transportation route by comparing seven different Korea–US intermodal transportation routes for automotive parts exported to Southeastern USA. To keep up with the global competition of parts makers, which are expanding their markets based on advanced technology and enormous capital, Korean automotive parts makers also need to actively advance their markets overseas. From this point of view, selecting an efficient transport route and transportation modes for overseas export is essential. To this end, the most efficient transportation route from the perspective of total logistics cost was selected by adapting the inventory-theoretic model, using information such as the logistics status of a specific company and the logistics freight rates and transit time for the third quarter of 2019. Thus, the scenario analysis was conducted assuming that variables—namely transportation cost per unit, commodity value, inventory cost and additional conditions such as terminal free time—were modified. Through this study, the optimal transportation route was selected by fully considering and predicting the total logistics cost component and the variability of the major factors.
Investigation of Novel RNA Elements in the 3′UTR of Tobacco Necrosis Virus-D
Authors: Newburn Laura R. , Wu Baodong , White K. Andrew
Published: August 2020

RNA elements in the untranslated regions of plus-strand RNA viruses can control a variety of viral processes including translation, replication, packaging, and subgenomic mRNA production. The 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of Tobacco necrosis virus strain D (TNV-D; genus Betanecrovirus, family Tombusviridae) contains several well studied regulatory RNA elements. Here, we explore a previously unexamined region of the viral 3′UTR, the sequence located upstream of the 3′-cap independent translation enhancer (3′CITE). Our results indicate that (i) a long-range RNA–RNA interaction between an internal RNA element and the 3′UTR facilitates translational readthrough, and may also promote viral RNA synthesis; (ii) a conserved RNA hairpin, SLX, is required for efficient genome accumulation; and (iii) an adenine-rich region upstream of the 3′CITE is dispensable, but can modulate genome accumulation. These findings identified novel regulatory RNA elements in the 3′UTR of the TNV-D genome that are important for virus survival.

GOVERNANÇA GLOBAL: A DINÂMICA CONSOLIDADORA DO DIREITO AMBIENTAL INTERNACIONAL
Authors: Lapa Rosilandy Carina Candido , Mendes Victor Augusto , Fisori Raphael Feitosa
Published: August 2020

O presente artigo tem como objetivo explorar a importância da governança como ferramenta para a formação e evolução do Direito Ambiental Internacional. A Governança, dada por normas de Soft-Law, propõe o diálogo e a cooperação e não a sanção como modelo de cumprimento. Na governança, a descentralização de poder é característica inerente, e é fundamental para a abordagem de temas ambientais internacionais já que toda a comunidade humana, e não apenas os Estados, podem ser afetados por problemas de ordem ambiental. Argumenta-se que normas sem uma sanção expressa, bem como a liquidez das soft-law, se adequam mais às práticas políticas internacionais do que os modelos tradicionais inspirados no direito interno, no qual há expressa sanção para a transgressão de uma norma. Explora-se, na primeira seção, a formação dos regimes internacionais e a escolha do seu modus operandi. Nela faz-se uma introdução teórica aos termos principais relativos à governança e regimes internacionais. Na segunda seção, aborda-se a observância às normas, em inglês compliance pela descentralização e flexibilidade das ações de governança e como elas demonstram um desenvolvimento positivo do Direito Ambiental Internacional. São feitas considerações de outros ramos, como o Direito Internacional dos Direitos Humanos, no qual há observado desenvolvimento voltado para a flexibilidade das soft-law. Considera-se, por fim, que o presente levantamento bibliográfico demonstra que as estruturas tradicionais de observância às normas, ou compliance, são reconhecidamente ineficazes na prática internacional, e que as práticas mais flexíveis inspiradas no soft-law representam tanto uma necessidade das Organizações e Instituições internacionais trabalharem com estruturas que sejam mais eficazes, para resguardarem a própria relevância, quanto uma adequação às limitações das práticas políticas internacionais.

Characters of Vulnerability of Girls to Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC): Case Studies in Lombok and Jakarta
Authors: Wicaksono Bagus Yaugo
Published: August 2020

The victims of commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) -especially girls- both in Jakarta - and Lombok area are having unique characteristic of vulnerability, therefore in order to optimize supporting the victims, an understanding of these characteristics of vulnerability in both areas are required. The purpose of this article is to describe and analyze the implementation of Down to Zero Project conducted by Plan International Indonesia (PII) in North Jakarta, East Jakarta, West Lombok, and Central Lombok. By conducting desk review of documents and results of previous studies during the implementation of this project, this study argues that; first, on the one side, the vulnerability of CSEC victims in Lombok areas tends to have a relation with poverty, furthermore the strict norms and value of custom could be challenging. On the other side, ineffective protection from family or caregiver makes a huge challenge for CSEC victims in the Jakarta area, in addition a heterogenous society and individualist characters create ineffective social protection for them. Secondly, these differences showed that the existing child protection system for girl victims of CSEC is not fully able to support them to reach the quality of life.

Published: August 2020

The taxonomic status of the gerbil Gerbillus amoenus in relation to Gerbillus nanus and the distribution range of these two species in Africa and/or Asia have long been debated and are not yet fully clarified. In our study, we identify two specimens of small gerbils that we captured in two localities of the south of Morocco, using morphometric and/or molecular tools. The body and skull measurements were not able to unambiguously discriminate between three closely related small gerbils (Gerbillus amoenus, Gerbillus nanus and Gerbillus henleyi). However, the cytochrome b gene analysis showed that our two specimens cluster unambiguously with haplotypes of G. amoenus. This represents the first genetic characterization of G. amoenus in Morocco. It confirms, based on mitochondrial DNA, that the previously described species living in Africa is indeed G. amoenus and not G. nanus, the latter species being present strictly in Asia.

Referentes conceptuales para el abordaje de la salud y la educación alimentaria y nutricional en la escuela
Authors: De La Cruz Sánchez Ernesto Elías
Published: August 2020

La problemática, hoy más que nunca, de educar en salud, nutrición y alimentación, constituye una prioridad para los países y así lo refieren organizaciones como la OMS, OPS y la FAO, entre otras. En tal sentido, en el presente trabajo analizamos en primer lugar, los referentes conceptuales de la salud como problema de la educación, su abordaje transdisciplinario, de enfoque salugénico, bajo un modelo social que tenga como centro de promoción y desarrollo a la escuela. En segundo lugar, destacamos la evolución del concepto de nutrición y su asociación con la alimentación desde la tridimensionalidad bilógico-social-ambiental que requieren, en el marco de enfoques sustentables-sostenibles, estar vinculados con la calidad de vida. Sin dejar de lado los efectos de la malnutrición, de las ECNT y la desnutrición fetal como causa epigenética potencial de dichas enfermedades. Por último, abordamos las diversas perspectivas que asume el hecho alimentario en nuestra sociedad, la cultura alimentaria, su aprendizaje social y cómo podemos entretejer estos escenarios en una verdadera pedagogía de la alimentación donde se articule la visión de la salud-alimentación como saber interdisciplinario propio y alcanzar una Educación Alimentaria y Nutricional como concepto transversal e integral que genere nuevos caminos de desarrollo, calidad de vida y bienestar desde la infancia.
Spotkanie dziecka z kulturą audiowizualną: obraz konstytuujący się w rodzicielskim dyskursie o dziecięcej codzienności
Authors: Grochowalska Magdalena
Published: August 2020

Tekst dotyczy problematyki obecności kultury audiowizualnej w codzienności dziecka widzianej z perspektywy rodziców. Oglądaniu telewizji czy innych mediów ekranowych dzieci poświęcają wiele czasu. Rzeczywistość medialna, oferując zróżnicowane treści i formy przekazu, łatwość odbioru; ludyczność jest atrakcyjna dla dzieci. Audiowizualne doświadczanie świata nie pozostaje bez znaczenia dla rozwijającej się kompetencji kulturowej. Rodzice, kierując się troską o dziecko, zazwyczaj regulują dostępność mediów, angażują się w rodzinną edukację medialną. Mogą przyjmować zróżnicowane role: aktywnie wprowadzać w kulturę ekranu lub pozwalać na samotne, wielogodzinne obcowanie z nią. W odwołaniu do wyników badań własnych opisano sposoby postrzegania przez rodziców telewizji obecnej w codzienności dziecka. Założono, że znaczenia nadawane rzeczywistości medialnej przez rodziców wyznaczają doświadczenia gromadzone przez dziecko. Analizie poddano treść wypowiedzi udostępnianych na internetowych forach dyskusyjnych. Miało to na celu odtworzenie rodzaju ram pojęciowych posiadanych przez rodziców, za pomocą których konceptualizują konteksty funkcjonowania telewizji w dziecięcej codzienności. ­Poszukiwano odpowiedzi na pytania, jakie obszary kultury ekranu udostępniają dziecku w wieku przedszkolnym rodzice oraz jakie mogą być motywy podejmowanych wyborów. Analiza ujawniła sposoby interwencji rodziców w oglądanie telewizji przez dzieci oraz znaczenia przypisywane praktykom uznawanym za celowe w organizowaniu kontaktu z telewizją. W dyskusji otrzymane wyniki odniesiono do problemu umiejscawiania dziecka w codziennych praktykach dorosłych.

Authors: Zwolińska Ewa Anna
Published: August 2020

Niniejszy artykuł koncentruje się na zmianie paradygmatu w edukacji muzycznej; który wynika z rozwoju audiacji (myślenia dźwiękami). W 2004 roku w Uniwersytecie Kazimierza Wielkiego w Bydgoszczy na kierunku pedagogika wczesnoszkolna rozpoczęto kształcenie studentów na podstawie założeń teorii uczenia się muzyki Edwina E. ­Gordona. Przez 15 lat realizacji programu nauczania w module innowacyjna edukacja muzyczna poddawano go ewaluacji w sześciu zakresach problemowych: 1) Wartość umysłowa umiejętności ­audiowania; 2) Wartość procesu uczenia się muzyki poprzez audiację; 3) Wartość trzystopniowego procesu uczenia się muzyki; 4) Możliwość optymalizacji procesu dydaktycznego; 5) Przydatność wyaudiowanych wzorów; 6) Zdolność do uczenia się muzyki. W wyniku piętnastoletniej praktyki realizowania planu strategicznego skoncentrowanego na audiacyjnym modelu edukacji muzycznej zaszły zmiany w świadomości studentów; zwiększyły się także wymagania w zakresie podnoszenia umiejętności technicznych i praktycznych. Z tego powodu uznano; że starannie zaplanowana; zaprojektowana i zintegrowana z dobrą praktyką pedagogiczną technologia informacyjno-­komunikacyjna (ICT) może wspierać motywację do uczenia się muzyki i podnosić jej jakość.
Treść dziecięcych opowieści o świecie – perspektywa edukacyjna
Authors: Samborska Iwona
Published: August 2020

W artykule dokonano analizy dziecięcych opowieści o świecie. Celem badań była próba odpowiedzi na pytanie, jaka jest treść opowiadań dzieci w wieku sześciu lat. Sformułowano dwie grupy problemów badawczych, które przybrały formę pytań. Pierwsza grupa koncentrowała się na rozpoznaniu tematyki dziecięcych opowieści, występujących w nich postaci i zdarzeń. Druga grupa związana była z odpowiedzią na pytanie, jak w tworzonych przez dzieci sytuacjach reprezentowana jest rzeczywistość, biorąc pod uwagę kategorię przestrzeni w ujęciu blisko–daleko. Przedmiotem badań były teksty 40 opowieści o świecie dzieci sześcioletnich. Kategorią opisową uczyniono „sytuację”, w której lokowane były zdarzenia i postacie w tworzonych przez dzieci opowieściach. Opowieść dziecka obejmowała subiektywnie postrzegane sytuacje. Była ona reprezentacją stanów rzeczywistości, zdarzeń, sposobów zachowania się bohaterów. Jako metodę zastosowano analizę treści. Wyniki prowadzonych analiz wskazują na to, że opowieści dziewczynek i chłopców różnią się w zakresie sposobu ujmowania prezentowanych sytuacji, tematyki, opisu zdarzeń oraz tła dla toczących się akcji. Z analiz wynika, że dzieci koncentrują się na treściach pozytywnych związanych z przyjemnością, zabawą. Dominują tematy ujmujące niezwykłe cechy bohaterów, ich aktywność, rywalizację. Dzieci podejmują też tematykę podróży, przygód, zagrożeń, ale również związaną z demonstracją siły czy walki. Rozpoznanie w badanym obszarze sprzyjać będzie optymalizacji działań w zakresie projektowania środowiska edukacyjnego najmłodszych.

Prevalencia de patología musculoesquelética asociada al síndrome de falla cardiaca
Authors: Senior Juan Manuel , Plata Jesús Alberto , Navas Claudia María
Published: August 2020

Introducción: en pacientes con falla cardiaca se han descrito múltiples patologías asociadas, en especial las de origen musculoesquelético que pueden limitar la capacidad funcional, independiente de la función ventricular y deteriorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes, por lo que su detección permite realizar cambios en la prescripción del ejercicio y en el acondicionamiento aeróbico, aplicar medidas fisioterapéuticas y ergonómicas en los programas de rehabilitación cardiaca acorde con el diagnóstico específico. Material y métodos: estudio descriptivo, de corte transversal y retrospectivo de los pacientes que ingresaron a la Clínica de Falla Cardiaca de la Universidad de Antioquia y el Hospital Universitario San Vicente de Paúl Fundación en un periodo de un año, con el objetivo de establecer la presencia de patología musculoesquelética. Resultados: se ingresaron 151 pacientes durante el periodo de estudio. El 55.6% fueron hombres y la mediana de edad fue de 68 años. La primera causa de falla cardiaca fue la enfermedad coronaria, seguida de la hipertensión arterial. El 33.1% estuvieron en clase funcional de la Asociación de Corazón de Nueva York (NYHA) II y el 32.5% en NYHA III. El 66.9% de los pacientes que asisten a la Clínica de Falla Cardiaca no tenían actividad laboral. Se demostró patología musculoesquelética en 31.8%, siendo la más común la osteoartritis, bien sea de cadera o rodillas, con una frecuencia de 6.6%, seguida de la tendinitis del manguito rotador (4,6%). Otras alteraciones encontradas fueron dolor lumbar, dolor miofascial, neuropatía periférica, disfunción patelofemoral y síndrome de túnel carpiano. El 35.8% de los pacientes se lograron vincular al programa de rehabilitación cardiaca y establecer un programa dirigido, de acuerdo con las comorbilidades encontradas. Conclusiones: la patología osteomuscular en pacientes con falla cardiaca es frecuente, posiblemente por cambios metabólicos e hipoperfusión asociados a la falla cardiaca. El desacondicionamiento físico asociado aumenta el imbalance muscular y facilita síndromes por sobreuso como la tendinitis del manguito rotador. La vinculación a una Clínica de Falla Cardiaca con un programa de rehabilitación establecido, permitirá la detección temprana y la intervención adecuada durante el mismo de las patologías músculoesqueléticas asociadas haciendo que disminuya la discapacidad y mejore la calidad de vida de estos pacientes

Authors: Ayodele Michael O. , Obor Deborah O. , Okafor Emeka E.
Published: August 2020

Studies of young Nigerians in National Youth Service Corps scheme have not addressed the issues of their work performance. This study was conducted in Ibadan North Local Government Area of Oyo state. Expectancy theory provided the theoretical framework. The design were both survey and exploratory. A two-stage sampling consisting of purposive and simple random techniques were used to select locations and respondents. Sample size (177) for survey consisted of Corps members selected from schools (119), state ministries (39) and parastatals (17) and private firms(2). Questionnaire was used to elicit information. Twenty in-depth interviews were conducted with Corps members (10) and their supervisors (10). Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive and chi-square test statistics at 5% level of significance while qualitative data were content analysed. Most respondents viewed their work as national responsibility (40.7%) however, 75.1% viewed their work expectation as unfulfilled. Although, 78.0% rated the quality of their work performance as good, however, Corpers were faced with a number of challenges, such as accommodation and insecurity (79.7%), poor work attitude of others (72.3%), lack of adequate work engagement (61.6%) and high cost of transportation (66.1%).

Published: August 2020

Studies on women in informal sector have not sufficiently addressed their challenges and support mechanisms. This study was conducted among women in informal sector in Iwo, Osun State. Social network and liberal feminist theories were adopted. This exploratory research was conducted in three locations in Iwo town namely; Adeeke, Odori and Boku Soro. The selection of respondents was purposive, based on type and duration of involvement in business. Twenty in-depth interviews were conducted with respondents to elicit information on reasons for entry into business, challenges faced, support mechanisms available and awareness and utilization of loans from financial institutions. Data were analysed using content analysis and verbatim quotations. Reason for entry into the businesses included; interest, economic purpose, inability to get jobs, support to family and supplementing spouse income. Financial supports were from various trade associations and cooperative societies they belonged, while nonfinancial supports were close family members like children run errands and assist in processing raw materials to semi or finished products. Most respondents were aware of loans provided by various financial institutions, however, they hardly utilized them. There is the need to carry out adequate enlightenment and education women in accessing soft loans provided by microfinance banks in sustaining, improving and expanding their businesses.
A Symmetric Uniform Formula and Sole Index Method for Sieving (Twin) Primes

Published: August 2020

Allprimescanbeindexedbyk,asprimesmustbeintheform of 6k+1 or 6k-1. In this paper, we explore for the set of k such that either 6k+1 or 6k-1 is not a prime. Our method provides a uniform formula for k that can sieve primes and twin primes as well. The uniform presents symmetry in terms of k that works as single index in sieving. We also propose a new conjecture that is equivalent to Twin Prime Conjecture but possibly be easier to approach by merely exploring of sole index in term of k.

Changes in the polyphenoloxidase activity in the leaves of Olea europaea during the cold period on the Southern Coast of the Crimea
Authors: Paliy A. E.
Published: August 2020

Changes in the polyphenoloxidase activity in the leaves of four cultivars and one subspecies of Olea europaea L. were studied during the cold periods of 2016-2019 years on the Southern Coast of the Crimea. Nikitskaya cultivar was used as a model of high frost resistance, while Correggiolo cultivar and the subspecies O. europaea subsp. cuspidata were models of low frost resistance. It was found out that the polyphenoloxidase activity depends on weather conditions during a particular cold period and it almost independent of the degree of frost resistance of the studied genotypes.
A comparative assessment of C02/H20 gas exchange in evergreen woody and shrubby plants under favorable and stressful environmental conditions

Published: August 2020

A comparative assessment of the adaptive response of the photosynthetic apparatus and water regime in 6 evergreen tree and shrub plant species to the effect of abiotic factors and their strategies in supporting optimal water balance in accordance with environmental conditions was carried out. Parameters of photosynthesis light response curves under conditions of full sunlight and moderate shading were determined. It is shown that due to the low plasticity to changes in the light regime Arbutus andrachne L. may have a significant lack of light in strong shading. Important adaptive features of Laurus nobilis L., Aucuba japónica Thunb. and Viburnum tinus L. is the ability of the photosynthetic apparatus to effectively use low light and maintain a positive carbon balance in conditions of strong shading. Three types of plant response to water deficit have been identified. Drought- resistant type of water balance regulation by closing stomata is characteristic of Nerium oleander L. and Laurus nobilis. In Aucuba japónica and Prunus laurocerasus L. a reaction aimed at preserving the water balance in the plant by maintaining a high level of transpiration has been identified. The third type of plant response to water deficit which combines both types of reaction provides high adaptive ability to drought Viburnum tinus and Arbutus andrachne. Drought tolerance of Arbutus andrachne was the highest among the studied species.
