Published: June 2021

As society confronts a multitude of wicked problems without clear solutions, transdisciplinary research institutes have the opportunity to meet the increasingly important challenge to foster research capable of addressing such problems—that is, cross-disciplinary and societally relevant research. There is a growing body of literature on how to conduct effective interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and team-based research, but there is less work that evaluates (1) the lessons learned, pitfalls, and successes involved in creating and maintaining transdisciplinary institutes that support this research and (2) how early-career researchers are shaped by and shape such institutes. In this commentary, we share insights and critical questions germane for those involved in the formation of, or participation in (especially as early-career, non-tenure-track researchers), transdisciplinary institutes. From our perspective as part of a unique cohort of research fellows developed as part of a new transdisciplinary institute at Indiana University, we explore facilitators and barriers to our ability to support the institute’s mission. Topics addressed include tensions between research and implementation, rapidly achieving collaborative research, and community building, especially in the context of nurturing an institute with temporary employees as a key component. We reflect on what our experiences as part of such an institute mean for our career pathways, especially in the context of current academic structures and incentives. Our insights are in the context of an environmental-focused institute, but the issues raised are likely relevant to transdisciplinary institutes formed around a wide range of other themes or topics, especially those seeking to learn from the experiences of the first few years of an institute.

Fluxes of major bioelements associated with sinking particles were quantified in late summer 2018 as part of the EXport Processes in the Ocean from RemoTe Sensing (EXPORTS) field campaign near Ocean Station Papa in the subarctic northeast Pacific. The thorium-234 method was used in conjunction with size-fractionated (1–5, 5–51, and >51 μm) concentrations of particulate nitrogen (PN), total particulate phosphorus (TPP), biogenic silica (bSi), and particulate inorganic carbon (PIC) collected using large volume filtration via in situ pumps. We build upon recent work quantifying POC fluxes during EXPORTS. Similar remineralization length scales were observed for both POC and PN across all particle size classes from depths of 50–500 m. Unlike bSi and PIC, the soft tissue–associated POC, PN, and TPP fluxes strongly attenuated from 50 m to the base of the euphotic zone (approximately 120 m). Cruise-average thorium-234-derived fluxes (mmol m–2 d–1) at 120 m were 1.7 ± 0.6 for POC, 0.22 ± 0.07 for PN, 0.019 ± 0.007 for TPP, 0.69 ± 0.26 for bSi, and 0.055 ± 0.022 for PIC. These bioelement fluxes were similar to previous observations at this site, with the exception of PIC, which was 1 to 2 orders of magnitude lower. Transfer efficiencies within the upper twilight zone (flux 220 m/flux 120 m) were highest for PIC (84%) and bSi (79%), followed by POC (61%), PN (58%), and TPP (49%). These differences indicate preferential remineralization of TPP relative to POC or PN and larger losses of soft tissue relative to biominerals in sinking particles below the euphotic zone. Comprehensive characterization of the particulate bioelement fluxes obtained here will support future efforts linking phytoplankton community composition and food-web dynamics to the composition, magnitude, and attenuation of material that sinks to deeper waters.
The Role of Hydrogeological Investigation in Geotechnical Engineering
Authors: Smith Deananon K.
Published: June 2021

Geotechnical engineering investigation should be carried out with the perspective purpose of understanding the knowledge of the ground conditions through fundamental planning and construction of infrastructural objects like excavation pit, various foundation, land reclamation, and beach nourishment, and so on. During the processing, hydrogeology takes an essential part in geotechnical engineering investigation by analyzing the recharging status of how water gets into the ground, how water flows in the subsurface through aquifers, and how groundwater interacts with the surrounding soil and rock. This review mainly analyzes the hydrogeological problems in geotechnical engineering investigation, and puts forward corresponding measures and suggestions for hydrogeology in combination with the work.
Visiones Docentes sobre la Participación de Familias Migrantes en la Escuela Chilena
Authors: Mora-Olate María Loreto
Published: June 2021

El estudio tiene como objetivo describir las visiones de los docentes sobre la participación de las familias migrantes en la escuela, en términos de cómo esta establece mecanismos de vinculación con los padres y cómo ellos participan en el proceso escolar de sus hijos/as. Complementariamente, se indaga en las capacitaciones para docentes en Educación Intercultural. Esta investigación de tipo cualitativa configura un estudio de caso con nueve docentes pertenecientes al liceo municipal de enseñanza secundaria con mayor concentración de matrícula de alumnado hijo/a de personas migrantes en Chillán, capital regional de Ñuble (Chile); territorio que presenta un creciente aumento de su población extranjera. Los resultados indican que los docentes manifiestan visiones contrapuestas sobre la participación de las familias migrantes. La visión positiva, constata dicha participación que responde a la normativa del liceo, valorando en los apoderados extranjeros su actitud más bien sumisa a las normas del establecimiento. Emerge también una visión negativa, que apunte a la ausencia de participación de los padres inmigrantes, quienes, a juicio de los docentes, se ven constreñidos por sus compromisos laborales. Ambas visiones derivan de una relación escuelocéntrica entre docentes y familias, donde la escuela establece mecanismos de inducción estandarizada de las familias inmigradas, resultando estas invisibilizadas. A su vez, los discursos docentes revelan una ausencia formativa en Educación Intercultural en contextos de migración.

Published: June 2021

The combination of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with other functional materials is a potential strategy for the preparation of advanced MOF-based materials. In this study, a simple approach is reported for the fabrication of cellulosic paper containing zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) through in-situ loading in the papermaking process. The results showed that the ZIF-8 was evenly distributed in the paper substrate owing to the multi-layers structure of the cellulosic fibers, although the loading of the ZIF-8 particles on the single cellulosic fiber was nonuniform. The as-prepared ZIF-8 composites can be used as a highly efficient adsorbent material for anionic dyes in aqueous solution thanks to the positive charge on the surface of the ZIF-8 particles. More than 92% of the methyl orange (MO-) dye in the aqueous solution was rapidly removed through a simple filtration process using the ZIF-8 composite cellulosic paper (hand-sheets made in lab) when the content of ZIF-8 in cellulosic paper was high as 25.1%. In addition, the ZIF-8 composite paper had acceptable flexibility and could be reused at least 4 cycles by washing out the adsorbed dye.

Published: June 2021

Research for new solutions in the field of wood-based materials and possibilities of their refinement is prompted by both market needs and increasingly restrictive environmental regulations. Many opportunities in this area are created by modern industrial technologies and constantly improved varnishing products as well. The observed trend indicating the usage of increasingly advanced technologies for the refining of wood-based materials in plants producing these composites confirms such activities and it creates new market opportunities. The correlations between the consumption of varnishing materials and the VOC index depending on the application technology were established. The economic and environmental benefits of the refining process concerning wood-based materials in their production plants were shown for both the manufacturers of the refinished composites and their buyers.

Published: June 2021

Lignin from the Chinese quince (Chaenomeles sinensis) fruit offers a promising source of natural antioxidant for industrial applications. However, the utilization of Chinese quince fruit lignin is restricted by its inhomogeneous nature. Accordingly, Chinese quince fruit lignin was sequentially fractionated with organic solvents of increasing dissolving capacity to prepare homogeneous lignin fractions. The GPC (gel permeation chromatography) results showed that the molecular weights of lignin fractions increased from dichloromethane fraction to dioxane/water fraction. The five lignin fractions were also compared with respect to yield, carbohydrate content, thermal stability, inter-unit linkages, S/G ratios, and phenolic OH content. Among the five fractions, the ethyl acetate fraction showed a lower proportion of β-O-4′ linkages (48.4%), the highest thermal stability, the highest phenolic OH content (2.8 mmol/g), and the highest DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging index and reducing power. The high antioxidant performance of the ethyl acetate fraction implies that it can be used as a natural antioxidant. This study shows that sequential solvent fractionation of lignin can produce homogeneous fractions with enhanced antioxidant performance. In addition, it demonstrates that Chinese quince fruits are a potentially valuable natural resource.

Authors: Luo Yan , Zhou Xuan , Pu Hui , Pan Hongling , Feng Xiao , Ding Wenhai , Ding Chenfan , Dang Yiheng
Published: June 2021

Raw bio-oil was pretreated and tested for hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) using three types of the commercial catalysts (HT-36, HT2300, and HT951T) to improve physio-chemical properties and enhance hydrocarbon yields. The three catalysts prompted different levels of hydrodeoxygenation, and the organic phase products (OLPs) yields were 25.30, 27.83, and 13.05 wt%, respectively. Moreover, OLPs had lower water content, total acid numbers (TAN), and O content as well as higher heating value (HHV), C, and H contents. For the three catalysts, HT-36 had the best HDO effects, resulting in 34.8% hydrocarbon production with improved HHV, water content value and TAN as well as element contents. The different level of HDO depended on the catalyst components, structure, and morphology. This research is beneficial for the selection and preparation of effective catalysts for bio-oil upgrading.
TRUTH AS AN AXIOLOGICAL DOMINANT (V. M. SHUKSHIN IN A RETROSPECTIVE OF RUSSIAN LITERATURE)
Authors: Sobennikov Anatoly
Published: June 2021

The concept of “truth” in Russian literature is historically associated with justice, righteousness, truth and fairness. In the second half of the 19th century, this concept was actualized in the works of F. M. Dostoevsky, L. N. Tolstoy, and A. P. Chekhov. In Dostoevsky's “ideological novel,” the emphasis is on the hero's finding “truth-verity,” “to live according to the truth” means to live with Christ. Besides the “truth of God”, the “truth of the people” is also of great importance in Dostoevsky's axiology. It is the people who carry the ideal of Christ in their hearts. The writer also discusses the truth of everyday life in his work: in politics, in the relationships among people in society. Leo Tolstoy created a whole gallery of characters who live “according to the truth.” First and foremost, the works of A. P. Chekhov reveal the truth of life; the writer is interested in the character's existential choice. God's truth and the people's truth, as a rule, are revealed to him in the self-awareness of a character "of the people." In 20th century Russian literature, the concept of “truth” plays an important role in the work of V. M. Shukshin and other rustic writers. Shukshin suggests distinguishing between truthfulness and truth, the truth of character and the truth of action. The truth of life involves the problem of the meaning of life. According to Shukshin, “people know the truth,” and this is not rational knowledge, but a way of life. The truth becomes the basis of national existence. Shukshin's Pravda was provocative in relation to the aesthetics of socialist realism with its main principle of partisanship. The writer relied on Russian axiology, rather than on party attitudes. The concept of “truth,” which is associated with the Christian worldview and Christian values, is the foundation of Russian culture and determines the main vectors of its development.
UTOPIA AS AN ANTI-UTOPIA (ANDREY PLATONOV'S SHORT NOVEL BREAD AND READING)
Authors: Zavarkina Marina
Published: June 2021

The article analyzes A. Platonov's novel Bread and Reading, which is the first part of an unfinished trilogy called Technical Novel. Different approaches to the analysis of the writer's anti-utopian strategy are considered, and certain terms related to the intra-genre typology of his works, which are still the subject of controversy in Platonov studies, i.e., utopia, anti-utopia, metautopia, dystopia, and cacotopia are clarified. The article offers a new perspective on this problem and concludes that the short novel is characterized by a complex conflict between utopia and anti-utopia, namely, utopian consciousness is embodied in the form of anti-utopia, which leads to the ambivalence in meaning and the appearance of internal antinomies. This mainly revealed in the title of the story, the epigraph, a special type of plot situation and the character system structure. Platonov's work is characterized not only by the problem of the relationship between man and nature, but also that of between man and technology, which becomes a part of the anthropological worldview and acquires human features. Platonov's characters dream of a time when technology, nature and man are in a harmonious relationship, helping each other overcome universal entropy. The motif of construction sacrifice, traditional in the poetics of Platonov's works, plays an important role in the story: it is premature and shameful to think about personal happiness in the world of socialism that has not yet been built, without enough “bread and reading.” The work reflects Platonov's own hopes and doubts, and if the “principle of hope” (E. Bloch) is the main principle of utopian consciousness, then the writer's doubt becomes the main feature of his anti-utopia strategy. On the one hand, this makes it difficult to identify the genre of the short novel Bread and Reading (utopia or anti-utopia), on the other, it does not lead to an “imbalance” of forces, but, rather, to a meek awareness of the place of man in the world and his limited capabilities. An important role is also played by the fact that The Juvenile Sea was supposed to become the second part of the trilogy, and Dzhan may have made up the third part: the three works not only complement, but also “explain” each other. In the finale of Bread and Reading, the characters remain focused on the “distant,” as they stay in the same utopian dream space. Likely never having found a way out of the “impasse of utopia,” Platonov leaves Technical Novel unfinished.

Published: June 2021

Thiazole-containing derivatives of rhodanine-3-alkanoic acids with propanoic or undecanoic acid groups were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of some protein tyrosine phosphatases and glutathione S-transferases. The rhodanines bearing longer carboxylated N-alkyl chain were found to inhibit PTP1B, MEG1, MEG2, and VE-PTP as well as GST from equine liver and GSTA1-1 with IC50 values in the low micromolar range. The inhibitory effect on protein tyrosine phosphatase activity depends on substituent at position 2 of the thiazole ring. The best compound showed a competitive type of VE-PTP inhibition. In case of GST from equine liver, the inhibition was of mixed or non-competitive type with respect to glutathione or CDNB substrate, respectively. Possible binding modes of the inhibitors were discussed based on molecular docking calculations.

Statistics of recent years on attacking actions on information systems show both the growth of known attackers and the growth of new models and directions of attacks. In this regard, the task of collecting information about events occurring in the information system and related to the main objects of the information system, and conducting their effective analysis is relevant. The main requirements for the tools of analysis are: speed and ability to adapt to new circumstances - adaptability. Means that meet these requirements are artificial intelligence systems. In particular, there are a number of research that use neural networks as a means of analysis. There are different types of neural networks, which differ depending on the tasks to be solved and are more suitable for different input data. The proposed multi-agent attack detection system collects and analyzes the collected information about the events of the information system using two types of neural networks. A multilayer perceptron is used to analyze various logs of information system objects. The Jordan network is used to analyze directly collected information about the events of information system objects. The use of a multi-agent attack detection system can increase the security of the information system. Features of modern attacks are considered. The urgency of the task of detecting attacks is substantiated. The peculiarities of the attack process were considered. The actions of attackers of different types at different stages of the attack are analyzed. It was shown which methods of detecting attacks should be used at different stages of the attack by an attacker. A model of a multi-agent attack detection system is proposed. An interpretation of the results of the analysis of information system events by the method of detecting attacks was proposed, as well as an algorithm for joint decision-making by agents based on several sources of information about their status. A model of an attack detection system that takes into account these features is proposed. This attack detection system collects information at several levels of the information system and uses it to analyze the artificial intelligence system
Extension of Blasius Newtonian Boundary Layer to Blasius Non-Newtonian Boundary Layer
Authors: Manisha Patel  , Surati Hema , Timol M G
Published: June 2021

Blasius equation is very well known and it aries in many boundary layer problems of fluid dynamics. In this present article, the Blasius boundary layer is extended by transforming the stress strain term from Newtonian to non-Newtonian. The extension of Blasius boundary layer is discussed using some non-newtonian fluid models like, Power-law model, Sisko model and Prandtl model. The Generalised governing partial differential equations for Blasius boundary layer for all above three models are transformed into the non-linear ordinary differewntial equations using the one parameter deductive group theory technique. The obtained similarity solutions are then solved numerically. The graphical presentation is also explained for the same. It concludes that velocity increases more rapidly when fluid index is moving from shear thickninhg to shear thininhg fluid.MSC 2020 No.: 76A05, 76D10, 76M99
Uncertain, Not Unimportant: Callosal Dysgenesis and Variants of Uncertain Significance in ROBO1
Authors: Woodring Therese S. , Mirza Mohammed H. , Benavides Valeria , Ellsworth Katarzyna A. , Wright Meredith S. , Javed M. Jawad , Ramiro Susan
Published: June 2021

Congenital anomalies affect 3% to 5% of births and remain the leading cause of infant death in the United States. As whole exome and genome sequencing are increasingly used to diagnose underlying genetic disease, the patient’s clinical presentation remains the most important context for interpreting sequencing results, including frequently reported variants of uncertain significance (VUS). Classification of a variant as VUS acknowledges limits on evidence to establish whether a variant can be classified as pathogenic or benign according to the American College of Medical Genetics guidelines. Importantly, the VUS designation reflects limits on the breadth of evidence linking the genetic variant to a disease. However, available evidence, although limited, may be surprisingly relevant in an individual patient’s case. Accordingly, a VUS result should be approached neither as nondiagnostic genetic result nor as automatically “uncertain” in its potential to guide clinical decision-making. In this article, we discuss a case of an infant born at 29 weeks 4 days without a corpus callosum, whose whole genome sequencing yielded compound heterozygous variants both classified as VUS in ROBO1, a gene encoding for a receptor involved in a canonical signaling mechanism that guides axons across midline. Approaching the VUS result as potentially pathogenic, we found the infant ultimately had pituitary dysfunction and renal anomalies consistent with other reported ROBO1 variants and basic science literature. Accordingly, we highlight resources for variant interpretation available to clinicians to evaluate VUS results, particularly as they inform the diagnosis of individually rare but collectively common rare diseases.
Anthropogenic load іs a leading factor in the morphological variability of Chondrula tridens (Gastropoda, Enidae) in the northwestern Azov Sea region

Published: June 2021

Morphometric data are widely used in biology to assess intraspecific and inter-population variability and for bioindication and environmental condition assessment. The following hypotheses have been experimentally tested in the paper: 1) the vegetation type affects the change in the shell shape of Chondrula tridens martynovi Gural-Sverlova & Gural, 2010; 2) the change in the shell shape of this species is influenced by the biotope moisture regime; 3) the shell shape changes depending on the anthropogenic load level. The material in the form of empty, fully formed Ch. tridens shells was collected in 2019 in the north-western Azov region within the basin of the Molochna River. The collection points were located in settlements and outside them and differed in vegetation, moisture regime and level of anthropogenic load. The vegetation has been expertly attributed to two alternative types: herbaceous vegetation and tree plantations. By moisture level, the locations have been assessed as xerophytic and mesoxerophytic. The anthropogenic load levels have been assessed as low, medium and high. The study revealed that the morphological characteristics of Ch. tridens demonstrate a significant component of variability, which is due to the shell size. The shell size depends on the anthropogenic impact level. Under conditions of high anthropogenic impact, the shell size increases. Mollusks from locations with low and medium anthropogenic impact levels did not differ in shell size. After extraction of the size component, morphological properties develop three main trends of variability. The mouth apparatus development of mollusks does not depend on the vegetation type, but depends on the biotope moisture level and the anthropogenic transformation level. The mollusk shell elongation was observed to have the opposite dynamics of the height parameters in relation to the width and depended on the level of anthropogenic load. Rearrangement in the mouth apparatus depended on the biotope moisture level and the anthropogenic load level. There were distinguished four clusters, the quantitative morphological features of which allowed us to identify them as morphotypes. Each location was characterized by a combination of different morphotypes, according to which the sampling points may be classified. Morphotype 1 corresponds to biotopes with low level of anthropogenic load, morphotype 4 corresponded to biotopes with high anthropogenic load. Morphotypes 2 and 3 corresponded to moderate level of anthropogenic load. Vegetation type is not an important factor in determining the morphotypic diversity of populations. Under xerophytic conditions, morphotypes 2 and 3 are more common, and under mesoxerophytic conditions, morphotypes 1 and 4 are more common. The range of molluscs in different habitats needs to be expanded in the future to clarify climatic and other patterns.

Authors: Yoshimura de Campos Michelle Mayumi , Souza Mariana Fernandes Cremasco de , Whitaker Iveth Yamaguchi
Published: June 2021

Introducción: Las limitaciones de la percepción sensorial, la inmovilidad, la sedación, la ventilación mecánica, la hipoperfusión tisular, el edema y la humedad se consideran factores que predisponen la aparición de úlceras por presión en pacientes en estado crítico. Objetivo: Caracterizar las úlceras por presión en pacientes críticos, determinar la asociación con variables demográficas, la hospitalización y las condiciones clínicas, e identificar los factores de riesgo para la aparición de úlceras por presión. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal mediante una muestra de pacientes > 18 años que no presentaban úlceras por presión al ingreso y habían estado hospitalizados >24 horas en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos. La asociación de las úlceras por presión con las variables se verificó a través de la prueba U de Mann-Whitney, prueba de chi-cuadrado, razón de verosimilitud y el test exacto de Fisher. Los factores de riesgo se identificaron mediante regresión logística múltiple. Resultados: De 324 pacientes, 46 (14.2%) desarrollaron úlceras por presión con mayor frecuencia en las regiones sacra y calcánea. Los factores de riesgo para la aparición de úlceras por presión fueron la edad, la duración de la hospitalización y la estancia hospitalaria antes de ingresar a la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos. Discusión: La alta incidencia, la localización y el estadio de las úlceras por lesión observadas revelan la vulnerabilidad del paciente de la unidad de cuidados intensivos a este tipo de lesiones. Entre los riesgos de las úlceras por presión se encuentran factores relacionados con el paciente, la hospitalización y la gravedad de la enfermedad, y su combinación debe valorarse en la evaluación diaria del paciente crítico. Conclusión: La aparición de úlceras por presión en pacientes críticos es un fenómeno multifactorial, para la que el reconocimiento de factores de riesgo puede contribuir a una rápida adopción de medidas para su prevención

Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó una revisión integrativa de estudios en bases de datos Sciencedirect, PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual en Salud y Scielo, con la estrategia de búsqueda [Critical care] and [Needs assessment] and [Family] con criterios de inclusión de estudios publicados entre el año 2009 y el 2019 en idioma inglés, español y portugués disponibles en texto completo Resultados: Después de la lectura analítica de 41 estudios seleccionados se organizaron en 5 temas; uso de folletos de información, sesiones educativas, llamadas telefónicas, uso de tecnologías de la información y comunicación y reuniones familiares. Conclusión: Las intervenciones de enfermería que se han utilizado en la satisfacción de la necesidad de información de la familia son muy variadas e incluyen entre otras los folletos o el uso de TICs, sin embargo la intervención que responde en mayor medida a esta necesidad son las reuniones formales con la familia. Las intervenciones reportadas en los resultados de investigación para responder a la necesidad de información son herramientas clave para que el personal de enfermería las utilice según los recursos con los cuales dispone en su entorno laboral como salas de información para la familia.

Authors: Mondragín Sánchez Edna Johana , Ayala Zuluaga Jose Enver
Published: June 2021

Este artículo analiza una situación de enfermería derivada de la experiencia de un profesional de enfermería; Se identificaron elementos del conocimiento de enfermería, como la visión del mundo de la enfermería, a partir de una situación de enfermería, se analizaron los siguientes patrones de conocimiento: personal, empírico, ético, estético, sociopolítico y emancipatorio. Además, se fundamentó con la Teoría del Cuidar de Kristen Swanson con sus cinco procesos, la cual facilitó la comprensión del significado de la situación familiar, promoviendo una actitud de esperanza, compartiendo la experiencia, orientando las acciones de cuidado. El análisis de la situación de la Enfermería evidenció la importancia de la epistemología y la ontología como soporte del cuidado profesional, así como su utilidad en la praxis profesional y la formación en enfermería.

[Extract from Executive Summary] This project, aimed at the development of a novel, automated mechanism for the collection of scallop stock data was a sub-part of the Scottish Inshore Fisheries Integrated Data Systems (SIFIDS) project. The project reviewed the state-of-the-art remote sensing (geophysical and camera-based) technologies available from industry and compared these to inexpensive, off-the -shelf equipment. Sea trials were conducted on scallop dredge sites and also hand-dived scallop sites. Data was analysed manually, and tests conducted with automated processing methods. It was concluded that geophysical acoustic technologies cannot presently detect individual scallop but the remote sensing technologies can be used for broad scale habitat mapping of scallop harvest areas. Further, the techniques allow for monitoring these areas in terms of scallop dredging impact. Camera (video and still) imagery is effective for scallop count and provide data that compares favourably with diver-based ground truth information for recording scallop density. Deployment of cameras is possible through inexpensive drop-down camera frames which it is recommended be deployed on a wide area basis for further trials. In addition, implementation of a ‘citizen science’ approach to wide area recording is suggested to increase the stock assessment across the widest possible variety of seafloor types around Scotland. Armed with such data a full, statistical analysis could be completed and data used with automated processing routines for future long-term monitoring of stock.

[Extract from Executive Summary] The Scottish Inshore Fisheries Integrated Data System (SIFIDS) project aims to build on the success of a previous project called “Evidence Gathering in Support of Sustainable Scottish Inshore Fisheries”, which utilised temporal and spatial data collected from commercial fishing vessels in cooperation with the fishing industry. The On-Board Observer work package (WP8A) aimed to collect the raw data that could be used by the other work packages (WPs) by sending observers to sea. SeaScope Fisheries Research Ltd was tasked with providing trained observers and a total of 131 volunteer vessels were recruited to the project by the Facilitators (WP7) and observers.

Published: June 2021

Objective: The objective of this study is to provide an overview of female careers in Italian academia and to present the implications related to the adoption of Gender Budgeting at universities.Research Design & Methods: A theoretical framework was developed based on the role of Gender Budgeting and the role of the Central Guarantee Committee for equal opportunities in Italian Universities (CUG). Female careers in Italian Universities were analysed in order to provide a state of the art about gender equality in academia.Findings: Overall, the findings suggest that Gender Budgeting is a key tool to measure and monitor the level of gender mainstreaming. It can be used to assess the implications not only for women but in general for the least represented gender in each area and at every level. It helps promote the efficiency and transparency of the University’s activities and to understand those elements useful in improving measures that have been taken.Implications / Recommendations: The analysis highlights that Gender Budgeting is a key tool for measuring and monitoring the level of gender mainstreaming within universities. The adoption of Gender Budgeting attests to governing bodies’ assumption of responsibility in eliminating discrimination based on gender and thereby protect and promote the well-being for universities employees.Contribution: In examining female careers in academia in Italian Universities and the role of Gender Budgeting, this paper seeks to contribute to the scholarly conversation on the role of Gender Budgeting in shaping gender inequality and improving the overall performance of universities.

Plántulas de lisianthus ‘ABC 2-3 Blue’ fueron cultivadas bajo cubierta película plástica en Zacatepec, Morelos, en dos ciclos: otoño-invierno (noviembre - febrero) y primavera-verano (abril-junio) para cuantificar algunas variables morfológicas, azúcares solubles y fisiológicas durante su desarrollo y postcosecha que aporten información sobre el efecto de la época de cultivo en la calidad y vida útil. Los resultados indicaron que la altura fue similar en ambos ciclos de cultivo, sin embargo, el tiempo de cultivo fue mayor en otoño-invierno (117 días) que en primavera-verano (73 días). El área foliar, volumen de raíz y peso seco total y por estructuras fue significativamente mayor (P≤0.05) en otoño-invierno. El contenido de sacarosa fue mayor en las hojas en otoño-invierno y la glucosa en primavera-verano. En poscosecha las flores de lisianthus mostraron un incremento significativo en la velocidad de respiración y el peso fresco relativo en las flores del ciclo otoño-invierno, aunque existió menor número de flores abiertas (2) y una apariencia buena por un tiempo mayor (10 días) comparado con las flores de primavera-verano. El contenido de sacarosa en las hojas en poscosecha se incrementó sustancialmente, mientras que la glucosa y fructosa disminuyeron. En las flores la sacarosa se mantuvó en niveles altos por más tiempo en las flores cultivadas en otoño-invierno, mientras que las flores cultivadas en primavera-verano, la sacarosa, fructosa y glucosa disminuyeron drásticamente en poscosecha. La menor acumulación de materia seca y azúcares solubles en primavera-verano propicia una menor vida útil de lisianthus ‘ABC 2-3 Blue’.
Relative Break-Even as a Determinant of the Dynamic Balance of the Russian Coal Industry
Authors:   Southern Federal University, Chernova O. A.
Published: June 2021

The stability of the development of the coal industry is largely determined by factor proportions linking its resource potential with production and market opportunities. Therefore, when developing projects for strategic modernization transformations of the coal industry, it is important to identify how their implementation will affect the parameters of sustainable development of the industry. The purpose of the article is to study the prospects for using the relative break-even indicator to ensure sustainable development of the coal industry in Russia in the face of significant external challenges. The hypothesis of the study lies in the assumption that the use of the relative break-even indicator in the development of strategic directions for the development of the coal industry will ensure a dynamic balance of economic and technological aspects under the conditions of significant exogenous shocks. In this work, a parametric model was used that allows one to investigate internal relationships between the economic and technological components of coal mining. The values of the parameters of the parametric model were determined in accordance with the target indicators of the Program for the Development of the Coal Industry of Russia through to 2035. The peculiarity of the proposed methodology for assessing the parameters of the dynamic equilibrium is that it integrates the methods of system dynamics and sustainability, allowing for deep understanding of the relationship between the economic and technological activities of coal mining production. As a result of the study, the conditions for maintaining the relative break-even point of coal-mining industries were determined, taking into account the current trends of changing factor components and the tasks set for the modernization of the coal industry: achieving an increase in coal prices of at least 3%; reduction of the cost of coal mining by at least 14%; an increase in coal production and sales by at least 45%. The conditions for maintaining the parameters of the dynamic equilibrium of the coal industry under various scenarios of changes in world prices for coal have been determined. The conclusion is made about the possibility of using a parametric model of the relative breakeven of production for modeling the parameters of sustainable development of the coal industry. The practical results of this study can be used in the formation of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the strategic development of the coal industry and in the development of appropriate planning and management decisions.
