Dioscorea manchesteri Kvaček, sp. nov., a new fossil species from the early Miocene flora of North Bohemia (Czech Republic)
Authors: Kvaček Zlatko 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Using the morphology of fin-winged fruits and accompanying foliage, the author characterizes a new fossil species, Dioscorea manchesteri Kvaček, sp. nov. (Dioscoreaceae), recovered from early Miocene deposits of the Most Basin (North Bohemia, Czech Republic). Dioscorea manchesteri matches the extant Dioscorea polystachya Turcz. in its fruit and foliage morphology. This perennial climbing vine native to China now grows throughout East Asia (Japan, Korea, Kuril Islands, Vietnam) in warm temperate to subtropical climate. The record of Dioscorea manchesteri is the first record of this genus in the European Neogene.
Carpatella rossica sp. nov., a new Late Paleocene–Eocene dinoflagellate species from European Russia and Ukraine
Authors: Iakovleva Alina I. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Palynological study of two Paleogene core sections from the Voronezh and Rostov regions (SW Russia) and one outcrop in Ukraine revealed the presence of a new Late Paleocene–Eocene species, Carpatella rossica sp. nov. The new species is attributed to the genus Carpatella because of the presence of both apical and antapical horns. However, it is suggested that the taxon represents some features transitional between the three genera of the “Aptiana–Ventriosum complex” of Helenes (1986). Based on the observation of a thin smooth inner layer of the wall in some specimens of Carpatella rossica sp. nov., and given some morphological features of other species described after 1988, a new emendation of the genus Carpatella (Grigorovich 1969) Damassa 1988 is proposed here.

Abstract
The effect of germanium trapezoidal profile shape on the direct current (DC) current gain (βF), cut-off frequency (fT) and maximum oscillation frequency (fMAX) of silicon-germanium (SiGe) hetero-junction bipolar transistors (HBTs) has been investigated. The energy balance (EB), hydrodynamic (HD) and drift-diffusion (DD) physical transport models in SILVACO technology computer aided design (T-CAD) simulator were used. It was found that the current gain values using energy balance model are higher than hydrodynamic and much higher than those corresponding to drift-diffusion. Moreover, decreasing the germanium gradient slope towards the collector side of the base enhances the maximum oscillation frequencies using HD and EB models whilst, they remain stable for DD model.
The mystery of Anser neglectus Sushkin, 1897. Victim of the Tunguska disaster? A Hungarian story
Authors: Van Impe Jacques 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The well-known Russian ornithologist Prof. Peter Sushkin described it as a distinct species from Bashkortostan (Bashkiria) in 1897, a highly acclaimed discovery. However, its breeding grounds never been discovered. Since then, there has been a long-standing debate over the taxonomic position of Anser neglectus. Taxonomists have argued that Anser neglectus belongs to the group of A. fabalis Lath. because of its close resemblance with A. f. fabalis.
At the beginning of the 20th century, large numbers of the Sushkin’s goose were observed in three winter quarters: on two lakes in the Republic of Bachkortostan, in the surroundings of the town of Tashkent in the Republic Uzbekistan, and in the puszta Hortobágy in eastern Hungary. It is a pity that taxonomists did not thoroughly compare the Russian and Hungarian ornithological papers concerning the former presence of Anser neglectus in these areas, because these rich sources refer to characteristics that would cast serious doubt on the classification of Anser neglectus as a subspecies, an individual variation or mutation of A. f. fabalis.

Sushkin’s goose, though a typical Taiga Bean Goose, distinguished itself from other taxa of the Bean Goose by its plumage, its field identification, by its specific “Gé-gé” call, the size of its bill, and by its preference for warm and dry winter haunts. A. neglectus should therefore be considered a separate, fully distinct species, sensu Stegmann (1935) and Stegmann in Schenk (1931/34), if we follow the established criteria in bird systematics of Tobias et al. (2010).
Between 1908 and 1911, an estimation of up to 150.000 individuals of A. neglectus wintered in the Hortobágy puszta. Approximate counts for both other winter quarters are not available. The last living birds were seen in the zoological garden of Budapest in 1934. Since then, A. f. fabalis and A. s. rossicus “Type neglectus” (i.e. A. f. fabalis and A. s. rossicus with a color of the bill and the legs, similar to the former A. neglectus) have been observed sporadically on the breeding grounds and in the winter quarters of both taxa. However, the true A. neglectus seems to be extinct. Its sudden disappearance may be related to the Tunguska event, the catastrophe in 1908 that may have caused genetic mutations. This hypothesis is considered to be the most likely, among other available hypotheses about its extinction.

Developmental biology of Aspavia armigera (Fabricius, 1775) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) on rice (Oryza sativa L.) (Poaceae) and three other hosts in Nigeria
Authors: Joda Abiodun Oladipupo 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The developmental biology of Aspavia armigera on four rice varieties ITA 301, ITA 305, ITA 307 and ITA 315 was studied under ambient conditions at the Plant Biology Laboratory, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Nigeria. Alternative host plants were also used in the experiment. The results showed that the development of A. armigera depended on its hosts. Oviposition periods were 41.7 days, 30.8 days, 22.6 days and 18.1 days on rice varieties ITA 301, ITA 305, ITA 307 and ITA 315, respectively. Fecundity ranged from 80.3 eggs on ITA 301, 79.6 eggs on ITA 307, 76.1 eggs on ITA 305 and 65.6 eggs on ITA 315. The differences in fecundity were not statistically significant. The eggs incubated for 4 to 6 days before hatching into nymphs on all the varieties. The longevity of mated and unmated males and mated females on the rice varieties were not statistically different, while unmated females lived significantly longer on ITA 305. There were five nymphal instars, which persisted for 16.8-19.5 days depending on the variety. The developmental period was significantly (p<0.05) delayed on ITA 315, and the mean growth ratio of head capsule measurements was 1.27. Oviposition periods ranged between 5 and 20 days on cowpea and 6 and 18 days on rice. A significantly higher number of eggs (fecundity) was laid by mated females of A. armigera fed on soybean than those fed on cowpea. Mean developmental periods were 25.7, 25.5, 21.4, and 20.3 days on soybean, amaranthus, rice and cowpea, respectively. Mated females lived for a significantly shorter period on cowpea (21.9 days) than on the other hosts.
Correlation Analysis in the Process of Weighting Real Property Attributes
Authors: Barańska Anna Marta 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The key goal of the market analysis carried out for property valuation purposes is to select pricing attributes of real properties and to assign so-called weights to them, which would illustrate their influence on the prices in a given market (Regulation 2004). Correlation analysis is a very useful tool in this respect. However, the fact that it is limited to the use of classical Pearson’s linear correlation coefficients is too much of a simplification due to the frequently occurring heterogeneity of the real estate market.
The research paper proposes to use the possibilities offered by the broadly understood correlation analysis which, among linear correlations, takes into account not only Pearson’s correlation but also rank correlations. At the same time, analyses of various non-linear correlations are being carried out where linear relationships are not reliable enough. The aim of this research is the simultaneous verification of the existence of various types of correlative relationships, taking into account the nature of random variables that the analyses relate to, and the nature of relationships between them. This approach makes it possible to adjust the weighting of market attributes, the values of which are improved in a few subsequent steps, in order to eventually approach the optimal result as close as possible.
Songs of Japanese Prisoners of War in the Soviet Union after World War II
Authors: Geber Clara Momoko 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The Second World War ended with Japan’s capitulation after the disastrous nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Subsequently, approximately 700,000 Japanese soldiers were selected as captives to undertake physical labour in Soviet prison camps. After returning to Japan, some of them wrote about their lives in the Soviet Union, drew pictures about their experiences, or wrote about their favourite songs that they had sung during their imprisonment.
My study of various reports of Japanese prisoners of war (POWs) after the Second World War surprisingly revealed that not only traumatic conditions during forced labour were published, but also social interactions in the form of joint artistic activities such as making music, producing theatre plays, and staging sports competitions. The prisoners have often retrospectively described these as strikingly positive events during their years of internment in the Soviet Union. This article analyses a total of thirty-four songs sung and composed by Japanese POWs during captivity on a lyrical level (text analysis). In doing so, I adopt a new approach to interpreting the social conditions during the imprisonment of Japanese soldiers in the Soviet Union.
Technology Access, Inclusive Growth and Poverty Reduction in Nigeria: Evidence from Error Correction Modeling Approach
Authors: Oshota Sebil Olalekan 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
This study examines the role of information and communication technology (ICT), access to electricity and transport infrastructure in reducing poverty and promoting inclusive growth in Nigeria for the period 1980-2014 using the error correction modeling approach (ECM). The results indicate that access to electricity and transport infrastructure is negative and statistically significant in both the incidence and the depth of poverty reduction and therefore conclude that this lead to inclusive growth. In particular, we show that access to ICT negatively influences the incidence of poverty, but the relationship is not robust when the measure of poverty is the poverty gap.
Magneto-thermoelectric Effects in Cylindrical Quantum Wire under the Influence of Electromagnetic Wave for Electron-optical Phonon Scattering
Authors: Hung Tran Hai , Quang Bau Nguyen , Minh Quang Doan 
Published: December 2019

Based on the quantum kinetic equation for electrons, we have theoretically studied the influence of a Strong Electromagnetic Wave (EMW) on the Magneto-Thermoelectric Effects in a cylindrical quantum wire with an infinite potential (CQWIP) (for electron - optical phonon scattering) under the influence of electric field E1=(0,0,E1), magnetic field B=(0,B,0) and a strong EMW (laser radiation) E= (0,0,E0sinΩt) (where and are amplitude and frequency of EMW, respectively). We obtain the analytic expressions for the kinetic tensors sik, bik, gik, xik and the Ettingshausen coefficient (EC) in the CQWIP with the dependence on the frequency, the amplitude of EMW, the Quantum Wire (CQWIP) parameters, the magnetic field and the temperature. The results are numerically evaluated and graphed for GaAs/GaAsAl quantum wire. Then, the results in this case are compared with the case of the bulk semiconductors and others low-dimension system in order to show the difference and the novelty of the results. Moreover, we realize that as the EMW frequency increases, the EC fluctuates with a stable trend and the appearance of the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations pattern when we survey the dependence of EC on the magnetic field.

In this era of multi-drug resistance, efflux pump is one of the major problems which is increasingly concerned by scientists. The structure and mechanism activity of the efflux pumps on both bacteria and eurakyotes that are gradually being clarified. Since then, efflux pump inhibitors have also been studied and initially applied in clinic, that makes an important contribution to preventing the outbreak of multi-resistant infections and cancers. Efflux pump inhibitors are often small synthetic molecules or plant metabolites that show great promise in inhibiting multi- resistant in both bacteria and cancerous cells.

LO STALKING QUALE FORMA DI VIOLENZA DI GENERE, E LA SUA DISCIPLINA PENALE NELL'ORDINAMENTO ITALIANO
Authors: Macri Francesco 
Published: December 2019

In l'Italia, l'incriminazione delle condotte di Stalking è stata introdotta dall'art. 7 del d.l. n° 11 del 23 febbraio 2009. Nel presente articolo, si analizzerà lo Stalking quale forma di violenza contro le donne e la sua diffusione, gli elementi oggettivo e soggettivo del delitto di “Atti persecutori” (art. 612-bis c.p.), e le altre peculiarità della normativa italiana anti-Stalking. Si discuterà inoltre la questione della costituzionalità della fattispecie de qua, cercando di dimostrare come un'appropriata esegesi della fattispecie, che tiene in conto i requisiti della reiterazione e del carattere molesto o minaccioso della condotta, può assicurare quel minimum 'garantista' in termini di rispetto alla tassatività/determinatezza della fattispecie incriminatrice richiesto dal principio costituzionale di legalità. La analisi includerà altresì cenni comparatistici al diritto tedesco e spagnolo.
Hydrogen bonding investigation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) / glycol chitosan blends studied by infrared and terahertz spectroscopies
Authors: Marlina Dian , Sato Harumi 
Published: December 2019

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)/glycol chitosan (GC) polymer blend was developed as one of the new biopolymer materials. Effects of different PHB / GC concentrations were analysed as a function of the blend compositions by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and terahertz (THz) spectroscopies to investigate the changes in the higher-order structure and bonding of hydrogen. The higher-order structure and hydrogen bonding monitored in this study include the crystalline structure and (C=O…H-C) hydrogen bonding of PHB. The FTIR and THz spectra showed that PHB's higher-order structure transforms into the less-order structure by adding GC without altering the crystalline structure and PHB's intramolecular (C = O ... H-C) hydrogen bonding with increasing GC concentration. Because of the addition of GC, the intensity ratio of THz bands figure out the crystalline dynamics of PHB, the helical structure deformation occurs first followed by the weakening of intramolecular (C = O ... H-C) hydrogen bonding within PHB-PHB molecules. Keywords: Chitosan, higher-order structure, hydrogen bonding, low-frequency vibrational spectroscopy
