Authors: Ma Haoyuan , Gao Xu , Fu Jingfeng , Xue Haowen , Song Yanhao , Zhu Kunru
Published: August 2022

Gosling plague (GP) is an acute and hemorrhagic infectious disease caused by goose parvovirus (GPV). The goose industry suffers significant economic losses as a result of GP, which is found to be widespread worldwide, with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Our group developed a novel technique for detecting GPV nanoparticle-assisted polymerase chain reaction (nanoPCR) and the characterization of its specificity and sensitivity. It was developed by using the traditional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and nanoparticles. The findings of this study revealed that GPV nanoPCR products were 389 bp in length, and the lower limit of the nanoPCR assay was 4.68 × 102 copies/μL, whereas that of the conventional PCR assay was 4.68 × 104 copies/μL. A total of 230 geese suspected of GPV were detected using nanoPCR, with a positive rate of 83.0% and a specificity of 73%, respectively. Overall, we present a hitherto undocumented method for identifying GPV by using nanoPCR to aid in the evaluation of subclinical illness.

The microbiota plays an important role in the development of diarrhea in pre-weaned calves. The characterization of the fecal microbiota in health and disease can be critical to unravel the bacterial dynamics associated with diarrhea and help with its prevention and control. In this study, we aimed to detect changes in the fecal microbiota of calves that experienced early-life diarrhea episodes. Fecal samples were taken from calves remaining healthy and calves with an episode of diarrhea during the study. We sampled at arrival (12 days of age) and after one and two months of life; also, at the time of the diarrhea episode for the diarrheic calves (day 17). Samples were processed to extract total DNA, submitted to 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and bioinformatically analyzed to infer the bacterial populations. Microbiota changes through time were reported for both groups. However, we detected an earlier stabilization in the healthy group. Moreover, we detected changes within low abundant taxa that may play a role in the subsequent health status of the animals. The fecal microbiota of healthy and diarrheic calves showed different dynamics in the diversity through time that may be the reflections of the variations within low-abundant taxa.

Published: August 2022

In recent years, growing attention has been paid to the influence/role of infectious diseases in tumour development and progression. Investigations have demonstrated that some infectious organisms can have a direct role in the development of neoplasia, whereas others can predispose to neoplasia by alterations in the immune response, or by creating a pro-inflammatory environment. Feline leukaemia virus was one of the first infectious agents recognised as an oncogenic organism, and along with feline immunodeficiency virus has received the most attention. Since the discovery of this retrovirus, several other organisms have been associated with neoplastic processes in cats, these include gammaherpes virus, mouse mammary tumour virus, papillomaviruses, hepadnavirus, Helicobacter species, and the parasitic infections Platynosomum fastosum and Opisthorchis viverrini. This review summarises the findings to date.

Authors: Lata Trevor D. , Deymier Pierre A. , Runge Keith , Clark William
Published: August 2022

We introduce a method, topological acoustic sensing, which exploits changes in the geometric phase of nonseparable coherent superpositions of acoustic waves to sense mass defects in arrays of coupled acoustic waveguides. Theoretical models and experimental results shed light on the origin of the behavior and sensitivity of the geometric phase due to the presence of mass defects. The choice of the coherent superposition of waves used to probe the defects as well as the mathematical representation determining the topological characteristics of its space of states are shown to be critical in maximizing the sensitivity of the topological acoustic sensing method.

Published: August 2022

In order to promote the sustainable development of a social economy and ecology, the social–economic–natural compound ecosystem (SENCE) conceptual framework was used to construct the water environmental carrying capacity index system. Taking the Gansu section of the Yellow River basin as an example, 18 indexes were selected from the 3 subsystems of social, economic, and natural ecology. Based on the unascertained measure theory and the obstacle factor model, the comprehensive level of water environmental carrying capacity in the Gansu section of the Yellow River basin from 2015 to 2020 was empirically evaluated, and the obstacles that hindered the water environmental carrying capacity were identified and analyzed. The results showed that the comprehensive level of water environmental carrying capacity fluctuated and increased overall, and it was grade III (critical load) from 2015 to 2017 and in 2019 and grade IV (weak load) in 2018 and 2020. Considering the ranking of the obstacle degree of each index, the obstacle factors were concentrated in the natural ecological subsystem, among which the obstacle factors were the discharge of wastewater, the population density, the urbanization rate, and the water resources development and utilization rate, which should be examined in the future. The research results and methods described in this paper could provide a theoretical reference for the evaluation of water environmental carrying capacity for other rivers and lakes.
On Escherichia coli Resistance to Fluid Shear Stress and Its Significance for Water Disinfection
Authors: Vettori Davide , Manes Costantino , Dalmazzo Davide , Ridolfi Luca
Published: August 2022

Alternative water treatment techniques are needed to overcome the limitations of chemical disinfectants. Stemming from recent findings which point to high levels of shear stress induced by flow as the cause of microbial removal in water, we conducted systematic experiments on bacterial solutions in well-controlled hydrodynamic conditions to evaluate the effect of different levels of shear stress on the viability of Escherichia coli. We investigated a wide range of shear stresses (57–4240 Pa) using viscous substrates prepared by mixing a bacterial solution with thickeners (2-hydroxyethyl cellulose and/or guar gum). Substrate samples were tested for up to 60 min in a laminar shear flow at a constant temperature using a rotational rheometer equipped with a cone-plate measuring system so that the whole sampling volume was exposed to the same shear stress. Results show that, contrary to previous studies, high shear stresses (i.e., of order 103 Pa) do not induce inactivation or lysis of E. coli, even for prolonged exposure times. Stemming from our results and a thorough discussion of the literature on E. coli mechanical lysis and modeling cell dynamics, we infer that E. coli can resist high shear forces because of stress relaxation in a wide range of hydrodynamic conditions.
Legionella and the Role of Dissolved Oxygen in Its Growth and Inhibition: A Review
Authors: Krause J. David
Published: August 2022

This review discusses the relationship between dissolved oxygen and Legionella growth. Growth of Legionella in building water systems is considered to pose a health risk and controlling it could benefit public health by reducing the number of healthcare and community acquired Legionnaires’ disease cases. Conditions known to encourage Legionella growth include low disinfectant concentrations, warm temperature, and water stagnation. Legionella is an obligate aerobe meaning its cellular respiration is inhibited under anaerobic conditions. Despite evidence from earlier published studies the importance of dissolved oxygen for the survival and growth of Legionella has received little attention from researchers and public health authorities. Modern measurement devices can reliably determine if dissolved oxygen concentrations in potable water and other building water systems are at levels capable of supporting Legionella growth or inhibiting its amplification. Removing dissolved oxygen from water can be achieved using gas transfer membrane contactors. Water with low dissolved oxygen levels interferes with Legionella’s cellular respiration by oxygen starvation, whereas disinfectants achieve the same effect by interfering with oxygen transport across the cell membrane. Ultimately, the same effect on Legionella growth may be achieved by reducing dissolved oxygen as treatment with oxidants, while avoiding the drawbacks of corrosion and disinfectant byproducts.
Study on Urban Rainfall–Runoff Model under the Background of Inter-Basin Water Transfer
Authors: Yang Jiashuai , Xu Chaowei , Ni Xinran , Zhang Xuantong
Published: August 2022

The imbalance of water supply and demand forces many cities to transfer water across basins, which changes the original “rainfall–runoff” relationship in urban basins. Long-term hydrological simulation of urban basins requires a tool that comprehensively considers the relationship of “rainfall–runoff” and the background of inter-basin water transfer. This paper combines the rainfall–runoff model, the GR3 model, with the background of inter-basin water transfer to simulate the hydrological process of Huangtaiqiao basin (321 km2) in Jinan city, Shandong Province, China for 18 consecutive years with a 1 h time step. Twenty-one flood simulation results of different scales over 18 years were selected for statistical analysis. By comparing the simulation results of the GR3 model and the measured process, the results were verified by multiple evaluation indicators (the Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient, water relative error, the relative error of flood peak flow, and difference of peak arrival time) at different time scales. It was found that the simulation results of the GR3 model after inter-basin water transfer were considered to be in good agreement with the measured data. This study proves the long-term impact of inter-basin water transfer on rainfall–runoff processes in an urban basin, and the GR3-ibwt model can better simulate the hydrological processes of urban basins, providing a new perspective and method.
Environmental Regulation, Local Government Competition, and High-Quality Development—Based on Panel Data of 78 Prefecture-Level Cities in the Yellow River Basin of China
Authors: Zhang Yifei , Wang Yiwei , Jiang Ye
Published: August 2022

As one of the national strategies of China, the ecological protection of the Yellow River basin (YRB) is vital for the promotion of the high-quality development (HQD) of the regional economy. This paper uses the data of prefecture-level cities in the YRB from 2004–2019 to analyze the effect of environmental regulation and local government competition on HQD. The findings show the following: (1) Environmental regulation can significantly promote HQD in the YRB, and local government competition can significantly reduce HQD. The interaction effect shows that the promotion effect of environmental regulation on HQD weakens with the intensification of competition between local governments. (2) A heterogeneity analysis shows that environmental regulation has a more significant positive impact on HQD for the lower reaches of the YRB. (3) Using a threshold effect test, it is found that the impact of environmental regulation on the HQD presents a significant nonlinear positive effect with an increase in local government competition. When the local government competition represented by the level of economic catch-up exceeds the threshold value of 3.037, this positive effect decreases significantly.
Manganese Modified Activated Alumina through Impregnation for Enhanced Adsorption Capacity of Fluoride Ions
Authors: Gao Yujia , You Kun , Fu Jinxiang , Wang Juliang , Qian Weiyi
Published: August 2022

Activated alumina, with low cost to implement and consistent performance, has been widely used as a defluoridation adsorbent in contaminated groundwater. However, its application was hampered by an undesirable adsorption capacity. In the recent research, an innovative adsorbent (manganese modified activated alumina, MAA) was synthesized by impregnation method and showed a more significant adsorption capacity than that of freshly activated alumina. The scanning electron microscope, Brunauer, Emmett and Teller, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared verified introduction of manganese oxides (MnOOH and MnO2) successfully, improvement of surface microstructure and nature of single-layer adsorption, which enhanced the adsorption ability. In a short period of adsorption, the MAA maximum capacity increased from 38% to 67%. Then, batch-scale kinetic and thermodynamic adsorption investigations were performed. The high correlation coefficients R2 (close to 1) of the quasi-second-order model, Langmuir kinetic model, and Langmuir isotherm model confirmed a better fit to the adsorption experimental data, further indicating that the diffusion of adsorbate was primarily governed by adsorption onto the active sites and the adsorption of fluoride on MAA was single-layer physical adsorption. This paper provides an approach to modifying activated alumina as a groundwater fluoride adsorbent.

Published: August 2022

In order to evaluate the impact of groundwater drainage on groundwater flow, the Hetaoyu coal field was taken as a case study in the Longdong area, China, where the coal seam was covered with multilayer aquifers. A three-dimensional unsteady groundwater flow model and a one-dimensional fracture water flow model were calculated by joint equations for changing hydrogeological structures under coal mining. According to the results, mine construction had greatly affected groundwater reserves in the Quaternary phreatic aquifer, Cretaceous Huanhe confined aquifer, and Luohe confined aquifer. The groundwater drainage was mainly from the Cretaceous aquifer, in which the aquifer reserves of the Luohe Formation decreased by 30,861.8 m3/m, accounting for about 92% of the total changes in local groundwater reserves. A drop funnel with an area of about 2.3 km2 would be formed under the groundwater discharge of 187.6 m3/h for the main inclined shaft excavation of the Hetaoyu coal mine. With the continuation of mining activities, the mine water flow will reach 806.83 m3/h and would result in descending funnel area of about 4.5 km2, the groundwater level drawdown at least 16 m, which would exceed the limited value regulated by the government. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of coal mining and protect groundwater resources, the Hetaoyu Coal Mine departments should take some water loss prevention and control projects to reduce the drawdown of groundwater.

Published: August 2022

Precipitation in the Hani Rice Terraces water source area is redistributed through the soil, providing a continuous water flow to the terraces downstream and keeping a healthy regional ecosystem. The dynamic characteristics of soil moisture and its relationship with precipitation need to be further investigated. In this study, we examined the dynamics of soil moisture content (SMC) in different site types (based on vegetation), at varying depths, and at varying time scales from 2012 to 2016, using time-series data. Fitting and fuzzy query methods were used to determine the greatest positive correlation between daily/accumulated precipitation and SMC. The results showed that: (1) the dynamic characteristics of soil moisture at depths between 0–100 cm substantially varied between three site types; (2) the relationship graphs of Pearson’s coefficient r between SMC and prior 0–360 day’s daily precipitation were sine curves in three site types; the daily precipitation in the half a year before the test day has a positive effect on SMC at 0–100 cm depth, and the 2–3 month’s daily precipitation has the greatest effect from the test day’s SMC; (3) the influence of daily precipitation on SMC is limited, while cumulative precipitation is the main factor affecting SMC; and (4) there is a linear relationship between accumulated precipitation and SMC. A linear equation was constructed using the strongest correlation and was used to predict SMC. These models are useful to assess the sustainability of the water supply to the terraces downstream, and also to provide a basic understanding of the effect of different sites (by vegetation type) on soil moisture. This study is of great significance for the protection and sustainable utilization of Hani Rice Terraces.

QUANTITATIVE AND BREED COMPOSITION OF RUSSIAN CATTLE
Authors: ЧИНАРОВ В.И.
Published: August 2022

Игнорирование абсолютного конкурентного преимущества отечественного скотоводства — многопородности и принятие в качестве основного селекционного признака продуктивности привело к импортозависимости и стагнации молочного скотоводства в РФ, к замедлению темпов генетического улучшения пород и снижению эффективности племенного дела. Изменение численности пород в стране требует пересмотра темпов развития племенной базы, так как нарастает опасность образования существенных диспропорций между числом племенных животных и общим поголовьем породы. Породы, наиболее быстрыми темпами увеличивающие свою численность, оказались в неблагоприятном положении, что существенно повлияло на снижение темпов их разведения. Поэтому ближайшей задачей научно-исследовательских учреждений по животноводству являются обобщение и строгий научный анализ происходящих процессов изменения породного состава, обоснование правильной стратегии размещения пород на перспективу и создание проекта породного районирования крупного рогатого скота в стране. Уже сейчас необходимо принять меры к ограничению необоснованной «голштинизации» скота на основе детально разработанных планов породного районирования с учетом основных принципов крупномасштабной селекции.

Ignoring the absolute competitive advantage of domestic cattle breeding — multiplicity and acceptance of “productivity” as the main breeding feature, led to import dependence and stagnation at Russian dairy cattle breeding, to slowdown in the rate of breeds genetic improvement and to decreasing of breeding efficiency. The changes in number of breeds requires a revision for the growth rate of breeding base, as the danger of significant disproportions between the number of breeding animals and the total livestock is increasing. The breeds, which are increasing their numbers at the fastest pace, now are in an unfavorable position with significant decreasing of their genetic improvement rate. Therefore, the immediate aim for research institutions at animal husbandry is to generalize and strictly analyze the ongoing processes of the breed composition changes and to substantiate the correct strategy for the breeds placement on prospect and to create the draft plan for cattle breeds zoning at the country. Now it is necessary to take measures to limit the unjustified " holsteinization" of cattle on the basis of detailed plans for breeds zoning, taking into account the basic principles of "large-scale livestock breeding".

Published: August 2022

Pakistan witnessed a significant improvement in maternal health outcomes during the past two decades. However, persistent urban-rural and socio-economic inequalities exist in access to maternal healthcare services across the country. The objective of this study was to estimate out-of-pocket expenditure (OOPE) on delivery care by women in the public and private health sectors in RajanPur district. This was a cross-sectional study conducted, among 368 randomly selected mothers who had childbirths from 1st October to 31st December 2020. The study applied multi-stage random sampling technique to select the study participants. The results showed that about two-thirds of mothers preferred public hospitals for most recent delivery. The percentage of cesarean deliveries conducted in private hospitals (43.8%) was 4.7 times higher than in public hospitals (9.3%). About 99% of mothers incurred OOPE during delivery care, and the mean OOPE incurred during delivery care was PKR 2840 (US$ 17.75) in public hospitals and PKR 25596 (US$159.9) in private hospitals. OOPE on cesarean delivery in private hospitals (PKR 39654.7, US$247.8) was 2.5 times higher than the public hospitals (PKR16111.9, US$100.69), whereas OOPE incurred on normal delivery care in private hospitals (PKR14339, US$89.62) was 9.5 times higher than OOPE in public hospitals(PKR 1501.4, US$9.38).To conclude, the findings and recommendations drawn from the research would provide some insights to health policymakers and planners in developing an integrated and viable maternal healthcare program in Pakistan.

Published: August 2022

The military aggression of the Russian Federation radically changed the life of every Ukrainian, the main priorities of politicians, and the court trial procedures. But even though the whole country rallied against a common enemy, corruption crimes have not disappeared and continue to be committed. With the introduction of martial law, the criminal procedural legislation and the procedure for investigating corruption crimes have changed. Therefore, it is important to analyze the innovations of corruption legislation, single out the most common crimes, and investigate the peculiarities of the procedure for investigating corruption crimes under martial law. The purpose of the work is the analysis of corruption crimes and the peculiarities of the investigation procedure of corruption crimes under martial law. The research methodology consists of the following methods: dialectical, systemic, historical-legal, comparative-legal, and formal-logical (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, proof and refutation, comparison, generalization). During the study of corruption crimes and their investigation in the conditions of military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, innovations in anti-corruption legislation and changes in criminal procedural legislation were analyzed. In particular, the peculiarities of carrying out individual investigative actions during the pre-trial investigation were researched. As a result, it was concluded that these actions are necessary and timely to protect the rights of individuals and the effectiveness of criminal procedural legislation.

The most common reason for armed conflicts outbreak is the desire to expand the territories. “The scars of the history” – the new areas which are the results of such actions create many problems of social or cultural nature. Due to the fact that minority population lives at the crossroads of two states causes that the most significant difficulty is safety. In the paper an overview of the Lublin border ethnic relations, including the Polish - Ukrainian relations during the Second World War and the tragic period just after its end are presented. What is empathized is the fact that the mentioned period was a time when in the common Polish-Ukrainian history numerous examples of kindness, compassion, or even good neighborly relations occurred. These gestures proved peaceful coexistence between the two nations was possible. An unknown number of Red Army soldiers, maybe a small group, committed crimes on Polish territory. The fact is important and verified with a specific documents. The used scans of documents and photos come from the New Acts Archives of Tomaszow Lubelski and the Regional Museum in Lublin.

Retomando Vygotsky, sua teoria, seu ensino
Authors: Munimos Silvia Szterling
Published: August 2022

Vygotsky goza de uma posição privilegiada no campo pedagógico brasileiro e conceitos como os de Zona de Desenvolvimento Proximal, embora nem sempre bem compreendidos, são rapidamente endossados por professores atuantes e em formação. Contudo, a julgar pela baixa qualidade do ensino público em nosso país, eles não têm sido efetivamente operativos na prática pedagógica. É propósito deste artigo revisitar as obras de Vygotsky publicadas em língua portuguesa e precisando o sentido de sua Psicologia Sócio-Histórico e do projeto de escola que dela emana avaliar em que medida eles conservam seu vigor como referencial teórico para a reflexão sobre o persistente problema do fracasso escolar entre nós. Trata-se pois de uma pesquisa bibliográfica que vai além da mera revisão na medida que pensada em função deste desafio premente que é a construção de uma escola pública de qualidade para o conjunto da população brasileira em idade escolar. Tem por resultado o equacionamento do problema, apontando possíveis vias para seu enfrentamento, para concluir que é no chão da sala de aula que a teoria vygotskyana encontra, afinal, sua razão de ser, no fazer cotidiano do professor mais do que nos quadros macrossociais da política educacional.

Published: August 2022

En la Universidad Autónoma Chapingo se ha trabajado en el desarrollo de un sistema especial de producción de tomate en invernadero capaz de acortar el ciclo de cultivo de trasplante a fin de la cosecha a menos de 90 días y así lograr hasta cuatro ciclos de producción por año. Este sistema implica prolongar la edad al trasplante hasta los 60 días después de la siembra (dds) y despuntar las plantas por encima de la tercera inflorescencia. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar los efectos de la aplicación de luz suplementaria sobre plántulas de tomate creciendo en charolas con cavidades de 250 cm3 sobre aspectos morfológicos que ayuden a prolongar la edad al trasplante hasta los 60 dds sin efectos negativos posteriores en el rendimiento de las plantas. Se compararon 10 tratamientos que resultaron de la combinación de tres ubicaciones de lámparas de luz (arriba, abajo y en ambas posiciones del dosel) y de tres periodos de aplicación (diurno, nocturno y diurno más nocturno), más un testigo sin aplicación. La luz suplementaria se suministró con lámparas LED de luz blanca fría con un flujo fotónico fotosintético de 100 µmol m-2 s-1 a 20 cm de distancia. Se empleó un diseño experimental de bloques completos al azar con cuatro repeticiones y un arreglo factorial de tratamientos, usando un grupo de 16 plántulas como unidad experimental. Se encontró que la luz suplementaria, aplicada durante el día y desde el interior del dosel, redujo la altura y área foliar de las plántulas, pero no incrementó el número de flores ni el rendimiento por planta con respecto al testigo. Con el trasplante a los 60 dds el cultivo en el invernadero duró sólo 85 días, lo que hace posible establecer cuatro ciclos de producción al año e incrementar el rendimiento con respecto a otros sistemas intensivos de producción de tomate en invernadero.

The aim of the study is to examine the idea that depressed and non-depressed employees hold different perceptions regarding the justice of their organizations, and that depressed employees are more sensitive to unfairness than fairness. The study used comparative design. All participants were employees participated voluntarily in this study. They were divided evenly into two groups, diagnosed depression outpatients (n = 60) referred by their physician in one of Kuwaiti mental health center, and nondepressed participants (n = 60) visited during their work period. Both sexes were distributed evenly within these two groups. The participants completed three measures: organizational justice, organizational injustice, and the Beck Depression Inventory. Using justice and injustice measures with depressed and non-depressed employees is a new approach that could clarify the role of depression in the perception of the organizational justice.  The results shows that the differences between the two groups in all justice and injustice subscales are significant at .001. The depressed group had higher injustice means; and the non-depressed group had higher justice means. The two groups separately do differentiate between justice and injustice events, especially for non-depressed group where injustice means tend to be significantly higher than the justice mean. The study concluded that the emotional state of the depressed patient might affect how he/she perceive justice and injustice events, but the opposite remains possible. Individuals estimate injustice events more than counterpart justice events, regardless of depression.
Appropriate software model for evaluating the effect of untreated
and treated sisal fibre with different gauge length and strain rates
for geotextile applications

Geotextiles are commonly used as reinforcement in building, engineering and road laying applications. The sisal fibre
is one of the natural fibres which is used to reinforce soil and prevent damage. This sisal fibre is specifically helpful to
fill gaps between roads to improve soil structure, and prevent soil erosion but allows the water to drain off. This paper
is concerned with the study of the effect of gauge length on the strength and elongation of sisal fibres in untreated and
treated states with sodium hydroxide at different concentrations and duration of treatment. The reason for applying
sodium hydroxide treatment on sisal fibre is to remove the impurities from it and to improve the inter fibre adhesion with
resin for producing a composite. The effective reinforcement of composites with plant fibres depends on the moisture
content and the fibre matrix interfacial adhesion. Treatment with alkali improves the performance of fibres when they are
used as composites. Also, the effect of strain rate on the strength and elongation of sisal in untreated and treated states
has been investigated. The Weibull modelling software model has been used in many studies to quantify the degree of
variability in the fibres. This paper deals with the application of an appropriate software model such as the Weibull
distribution model for quantifying the variability in strength and elongation at different gauge lengths varied from 10 mm
to 100 mm and also varied the strain rate from 10 mm/min to 500 mm/min. In addition to the Weibull distribution model,
air plasma treatment and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) analysis on sisal fibre were also carried out in this paper.
The result shows that the sisal fibre is more suitable for geotextile applications.

This research paper aims to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on volatility patterns and its global
implication for the textile industry in China. The COVID-19 pandemic has generated a global health crisis with profound
economic, social and financial implications, but also has triggered a ruthless global recession. The global economic
recovery as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic can also generate significant investment opportunities for the textile
industry in China. In this paper, the application of empirical methods could explain historical prices, the movement
dynamics of financial assets, and investigate various important characteristics of asset pricing that explore details of the
Chinese stock market. The econometric framework includes the following: symmetric Generalize Autoregressive
Conditional Heteroscedastic GARCH (1, 1) model, asymmetric GARCH models such as EGARCH and GJR models. The
main aim is to identify the asymmetric volatility effect, and impact of news on the SSE Composite Index and investigate
long memory properties in volatility using daily data for the sample period from 19th December 1990 to 31st December
2020. This empirical study contributes to the existing literature on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on international
stock markets, by investigating symmetric and asymmetric volatility patterns in the case of the Shanghai Stock
Exchange from China

The textile sector in India is the oldest manufacturing sector. As the raw materials for this sector are sourced from the
petrochemical industries, the earnings of Indian textile companies are dependent on the crude oil price. The crude price
in the international market has become more volatile and hence, the equity price of Indian textile companies has become
more volatile. This study aims to develop two price risk management strategies for Indian textile equities. Using the
vector autoregressive (VAR) model, a price forecast model, further the possibility of cross hedge for textile equities with
the help of crude futures is examined using the Granger causality test and Pearson correlation statistics. The results of
the study showed that crude futures price in India is one of the price determinants of textile industry stock prices.

Published: August 2022

Portable, mobile and mobile subsurface radar detectors are in high needed for localizing inhomogeneities and hidden defects in monitoring the condition of road surfaces, studying the upper layer of the earth's surface during humanitarian demining and identifying caches. Despite the presence of a number of specialized devices, the problem of ensuring reliable operational detection of near-surface and shallow objects has not been fully resolved. One of the promising directions in the development of a subsurface radar detector with an increased efficiency of object detection when deepening up to 1,5 ... 2 λ is associated with the use of a continuous ultra-wideband FMCW signal and optimization of the structural design of the system, which ensures the maintenance of a given height of rise of the antenna unit above the studied environment with its high mobility. The article presents the results of the development of a self-propelled subsurface radar detector with a continuous probing signal, including the substantiation of the technical appearance of the device, the development of a concept layout and the results of experimental studies. The device is made on a four-wheeled automated platform with an adjustable console on which the antenna unit moves. With the forward movement of the platform, a sequential radar survey of the upper soil layer is performed, the results of which in the form of a surface projection of the normalized power of depth portraits are displayed on the monitor screen. The conducted field tests of the device showed reliable detection of near- and subsurface objects made of dielectric and metallic materials.

Published: August 2022

In this letter, we study the temporal and spatial variability of ionospheric irregularities by generating high-resolution maps of the observed amplitude scintillation index (S4) using data from a multi-constellation and multi-frequency GNSS receiver. The study is located in the Arabian Peninsula region, which falls under the northern crest of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA). Even though the study was conducted during a solar minimum period, considerable pre-sunset scintillation occurrences have been observed between 15-17 local time, particularly during the winter solstices. While most scintillation occurrences have been observed at low elevation (20 to 25 degrees), a considerable number of scintillation causing ionospheric irregularities have been observed towards the north, east, and southeast of the receiver location, for elevation ranging from 40 to 60 degrees. Out of all the GNSS constellations with medium-earth-orbit (MEO) satellites, GPS was the most impacted by amplitude scintillation, while BeiDou and Galileo satellites were the least affected. It is anticipated that the patches of ionospheric irregularities reported in this work will be further enhanced as solar activity increases in the coming years. Therefore, this work can serve as a reference for future studies during periods of increased geomagnetic activity.
Legado ético y circunstancia
Authors: Ortega Ruiz Pedro
Published: August 2022

Los valores éticos son el mejor legado que nuestros mayores nos han dejado en herencia. Son una corriente de vida que genera nueva vida por la que el mundo se renueva sin cesar. Son las huellas de lo que hemos sido y vivido en nuestro trayecto vital. La experiencia nos dice que no se puede construir una sociedad justa y solidaria fundamentada solo en la Razón; es indispensable la ética de la compasión que nos ayude a hacer nuestro el sufrimiento de los otros necesitados y vulnerables, recuperar al ser humano histórico en toda su realidad. Se hace necesaria una ética compasiva que favorezca en la sociedad estructuras de solidaridad y fraternidad, que superen la frialdad e indiferencia en las relaciones interhumanas de la sociedad actual. Ello supone el cambio de una antropología y éticas idealistas por otra antropología y ética que sitúa al ser humano en el centro de referencia de la conducta ética. La experiencia de cada sujeto, su vida concreta, se convierte de este modo en el contenido necesario de la acción educativa.
