Authors: Люсова О.В. , Солянкина Л.Е. 
Published: August 2020

В статье рассматриваются условия и факторы реализации системного видения психологической поддержки формирования карьерных стратегий современной молодежи. На основе результатов исследования авторы резюмируют, что выбор студентами карьерных стратегий на этапе профессионального обучения позволит не только определить соответствие своего уровня профессиональным требованиям, предъявляемым профессией, но и избежать
в будущем эффекта «блокады» взаимодействия в системе «среда — субъект». Отмечается, что обучающиеся нуждаются в психологической поддержке, проводимой специалистом — коучем — во время формирования карьерного планирования и включающей в себя разработку и реализацию комплексных консалтинговых развивающих программ. В результате проведенной работы была разработана и апробирована развивающая программа «Я в карьере». Теоретической основой программы выступили научные взгляды М. Вишняковой, Н. С. Пряжникова. В статье дается сущностная характеристика программы «Я в карьере», цель, задачи, содержание и результаты апробации. Консалтинговая работа со студентами по данной программе сводится к обсуждению результатов проведенной диагностики, конкретным запросам студента в связи с его проблемами формирования эффективных индивидуальных карьерных стратегий. Обращается внимание ученых, психологов, занимающихся данной проблемой на то, что для эффективности формирования карьерных стратегий, способствующих мотивации учебно-профессиональной деятельности студентов, необходимо проводить длительные курсы в форме тренингов на добровольной основе.
The article focuses on psychological support for career development in modern adolescents. The authors of the research conclude that students’ choice of career strategies at the stage of vocational development enables students to ensure that their competencies and skills match the required qualifications and abilities, which will prevent further disappointment and ensure fruitful subject – environment interaction. The authors underline that at the stage of career planning, students require special psychological support and guidelines. The authors have elaborated and tested a career development program called “On my Career Path”. The career development program is based on ideas and hypotheses proposed by M. Vishnyakova and N. S. Pryazhnikov. The article characterizes the program “On my Career Path”, discusses its goals, objectives, its content and test results. The program provides consulting support to students, focuses on the troubleshooting process, considers students’ requirements and assesses failures of their individual career development strategies. Addressing scholars and psychologists working on the issue, the authors highlight that to ensure efficient career-oriented education, it is essential that students should have an opportunity to attend long-term career-oriented training courses.

Poetry of the 1880s–1890s through the Prism of the Narodnik and Symbolist Criticism
Authors: Сапожков С.В. 
Published: August 2020

В статье предпринята попытка сопоставить критерии, которые господствовали в оценках поэзии двух последних десятилетий XIX века в критике народнического направления и раннесимволистской критике 1890-х годов, и на основе оценки этих заведомо амбивалентных суждений определить суть «переходной» модальности поэзии 1880–1890-х годов, осуществлявшей в это кризисное время движение от классики к модернизму. Материалом сопоставления послужили критические выступления С. Я. Надсона и П. Ф. Якубовича, с одной стороны, и В. Я. Брюсова — с другой. Автор статьи показывает, как одни и те же особенности содержания и стиля поэтов конца XIX века получали диаметрально противоположное истолкование представителями этих течений критики, наполняя различным смыслом оппозицию «классика — модернизм». На основе этих суждений автор статьи намечает критерии «переходности» метода и стиля поэзии 1880–1890-х годов.
The article attempts to juxtapose the criteria which prevailed in critical assessments of poetry of the two final decades of the 19th century in the Narodnik criticism and the Symbolist criticism of the 1890s and, relying in theses assessments, to define the principle of the transitional modality of poetry of the 1880s-1890s, which signified a transition from classics to modernism. The article analyzes V. Ya. Bryusovʼs critical works and critical works written by S. Ya. Nadson and P. F. Yakubovich. The author of the article shows that the representatives of classical criticism and modernist criticism treated 19th-century poetsʼ literary style from different perspectives. Relying on these conclusions, the author of the article suggests some criteria for assessing the transitional method and style of poetry of the 1880s–1890s.
Global Financial Crisis and the Nigerian Capital Market
Authors: Obayori Joseph Bidemi , George-Anokwuru Chioma Chidinma B.  
Published: August 2020

Purpose: This paper examined the impact of the global financial crisis on the capital market in Nigeria from 1980-2018. It specifically aimed to determine the impact of the currency crisis and liquidity crisis on the capital market in Nigeria.
Methods: The study was time series data based. Data were generated from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin. The variables were subjected to descriptive statistics and the 'Augmented Dickey-Fuller' (ADF) unit root test prior to the 'Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag' (ARDL) model.
Results: The outcome of descriptive statistics demonstrated that the parameters were not normally distributed. Also, the ADF unit root test demonstrated that one of the parameters was stationary at I(0) while the remaining two were stationary at I(1). Based on the ARDL results, it was observed that in the short run, the financial crisis has an indirect influence on the performance of Nigerian capital markets. Liquidity crisis, a proxy for the depletion of external reserves has a strong influence on the capital market. The long-run result showed that there is a long-run association amongst the variables.
Implications: In view of these findings, the paper recommends that the government should fine-tune its policy mix to ensure that the capital market and the economy do not suffer from the global economic crisis as it takes place.
Spatial and temporal variability of soil moisture in non-flooded landscape units in Namibian Zambezi region

Published: August 2020

Climate variability will continue to impact the spatial and temporal variability of soil moisture in different landscapes across the world; and in turn the variability may affect crop production. Non-flood areas in the Namibian Kwalala Landscape of Zambezi (NKLOZ) region are generally relegated to second place, as somewhat marginal for the successful production of major crops such as maize (Zea mays L.). Even when flood water has receded, non-flooded areas which get affected during floods, are still avoided for crop production. This is because residual moisture following the rainy season, is suspected to fall far short of the longer growing duration of maize, to the extent that farmers are too apprehensive to grow maize in such areas. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of seasonal rainfall on spatial and temporal variability of soil moisture within the Namibian Kwalala Landscape of Zambezi (NKLOZ) ecology, and the extent to which soil moisture status and soil temperature patterns (STEPs) characterise soil type (STP) productive potential. Three sensors were setup up at 20, 40 and 60 cm landscape of the NKLOZ, after digging a one-metre trench at each site. Soil moisture and temperature data were retrieved and monitored using Decagon DataTrac 3 software. ANOVA multiple regressions were used to analyse the effects of soil depth, rainfall, and soil temperature on soil moisture. Seasonal rainfall in the NKLOZ during the growing period between October and April (2012-2015) significantly (P < 0.05) and positively affected soil moisture, both in time and space, in recharging soil moisture to sufficiently meet maize crop water requirements in the region. Although it appeared like high amounts of soil moisture sufficiency were as a result of the events of seasonal rainfall received during the growing period, anything received between mid-January and Mid-March was still below the historical minimum and maximum decadal; and in any case late for early planted maize crop. Average soil moisture data indicated for loamy soil (8.30), sandy loam (14.30) and sand at the respective sites suggested a large rainfall season-soil texture interaction. Such an interaction should inform the prudence of production of maize from the point of view of a smart or robust crop system growing planning and management.

Effect of priming regimes on seed germination of field crops
Authors: Nyoni N. , Ndlovu E. , Maphosa M. 
Published: August 2020

Germination, early emergence and stand establishment of crops are major yield determining factors in semi-arid and arid rainfed areas. Farmers in marginal and low input areas tend to have poor germination due to poor and shallow soils. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of priming regimes on seed germination of field crops. A study was conducted at Lupane State University, Biotechnology Laboratory in 2019. Treatments included seed priming techniques, namely hydropriming, halopriming (2% NaCl solution) osmopriming (10% PEG 6000), and solid matrix priming (18% volume/weight sand); and timing at 6, 12, 24 hours for maize and 2, 4, 6 hours for cowpea, sorghum and millet. Solid matrix priming, followed by hydropriming significantly (P<0.05) improved germination parameters (germination percentage, daily germination, peak value and germination speed) of all crops. Halopriming and osmopriming were similar in their ineffectiveness, and resulted in the least germination parameter values. Six hour solid matrix priming in 18% v/w sand was the most effective method among most crops; suggesting that solid matrix priming is an effective and possibly low cost technology, with potential to improve germination of field crops.

Postharvest rot due to injury is a major contributing factor to the declining quality of stored seed yams (Dioscorea spp.). Among the several known injuries, the piercing effect of speargrass rhizomes has become a serious constraint for yam production in Ghana. The objective of this study was to assess injuries on seed yams resulting from piercing of speargrass rhizomes and their effects on postharvest rots in Ghana. Eighty farmer fields from Mem, Watro, Asanteboa and Abour in the Atebubu-Amantin Municipal in the Bono East Region of Ghana were screened for speargrass incidence and injury on harvested tubers, for laboratory analysis of pathogens in 2016 and 2017. The tubers were sorted into four categories of seed yam based on weight. Thirty seed yams each of two selected white yam cultivars (Dente and Kpamyo) with visible speargrass rhizome-pierced-tubers (VSRPT) and non-speargrass rhizome pierced healthy tubers (NSRPHT) were randomly selected and stored in a ban for weekly assessment of rot. The rotten tissues from the localised area of VPSRT were subjected to pathological investigations in the laboratory. The incidence of injury seemingly increased with increasing tuber weight. It was 0% for < 100 g samples and averagely 14% for > 1 kg samples, irrespective of cultivars and locations. Incidence of rot from NSRPHT sample was observed 5 weeks after storage (WAS) for both cultivars; and 2 WAS from the VSRPT sample and 40% higher than NSRPHT at 8 WAS. Eight and six known rot pathogens were isolated from the rotten tissues of VSRPT of Dente and Kpamyo, respectively. Injury from the piercing of speargrass rhizome significantly contributed to hastening of tuber rots; while tuber injury increased with increasing speargrass density. Appropriate management of speargrass is essential for commercial seed yam growers to reduce tuber damage which affects yam quality, storage and marketing.

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is one of the most important fruit vegetables in the world, with several nutritional and medicinal benefits. However, little is known about the genetic divergence of yield and its related traits. The objective of this study was to explore gene action and heritability of traits to help direct and strengthen breeding programmes, geared towards improving yield of the crop. Six generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1 and BC2) derived from two crosses (SM001-07 x ST004-03 and SM001 x San005-01) of eggplant accessions, were grown in pots in an open field, using Randomised Complete block Design (RCBD). Estimated data indicated that, the additive-dominance model was adequate to demonstrate the genetic variation and its significance in the inheritance of fruit weight, days to flowering and fruit yield traits. Although non-allelic interactions were found in plant height and number of seeds, additive effect was more pronounced in the genetic control of days to flowering and fruit weight; while dominance effect was more important in the control of plant branching and fruit length. Plant height and fruit yield were influenced by complementary gene action. Furthermore, the study revealed low magnitudes of dominance and environmental variances for most traits showing higher heritability values. In view of the diverse gene actions, with additive, dominant and epistasis, playing significant roles in the control of different traits, backcross, recurrent selection or bi parental could be appropriate for advancing the segregating populations to meet the need of yield improvement in both crosses.

Solid waste management system is the most difficult task that many countries face. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of solid waste management practices of households and analyze dumpsites' environmental suitability in Debre Markos town. Primary data were collected from randomly selected households using structured questionnaire and from secondary data from different bureaus, from research and other reports in 2017. Qualitative and quantitative techniques were used to evaluate solid waste management practices. Data were analyzed using statistical package for social Science and Geographical Information System computer program. The results revealed that households dominantly produced biodegradable solid wastes (87.6%) with the generation rate of 0.3 kg/person/day. This made the daily total solid waste generation of households up to 6210 kg (17 m3). The suitability map of the area for landfill showed that 1.4% of the study area was highly suitable, 36% was moderately suitable and 58% was less suitable. Moreover, 4.7% of the area was found unsuitable to be used for waste disposal. In conclusion, sustainable solid waste management systems must be executed, the structure and capacity of the municipality improved and integrated solid waste management practice must be applied for a healthy environment. Moreover, the municipality should make dumpsites environmentally sound and socially acceptable to decrease impacts of solid wastes on the communal land, on human, on animal and on environmental health.

Sitophilus zeamais (maize weevil) damages maize, a major cereal crop in Ethiopia. A study was conducted to determine the anti-weevil activities of ethanol extracts of leaves of Juniperus procera, Phytolacca dodecandra, Ostegia integrifolia, Sansevieria trifasciata, and Eucalyptus globulus. Extraction was done using 70% ethanol. Two types of tests (toxicity and efficacy) were conducted using three doses, i.e., 50, 75, and 100 ml/kg of each plant. In the toxicity test, weevil mortality was measured at the 6th, 12th, 24th, 48th, and 72nd hours, then weekly for five weeks. For efficacy test, weevil mortality and grain damage (weight loss, percent holes, and percent germination) were assessed three months after treatment. J. procera and P. dodecandra were more toxic (96.6% and 96.4% mortality rate, respectively). The 50 and 75 ml/kg doses of E. globulus, 75 and 100 ml/kg doses of J. procera, of P. dodecandra, and of S. trifasciata killed 100% of the weevils; in the control mortality was 23.3%. Grain weight loss was high in the control (7.8%) followed by grains treated by 75 ml/kg extracts of O. integrifolia (5.9%). Percentage holes was high in the control (70%) followed by 75 ml/kg extracts of O. integrifolia (26.7%). Germination was high in grains treated with 50 and 75 ml/kg doses of J. procera, E. globulus, S. trifasciata, and P. dodecandra in descending order. The 75 and 100 ml/kg extracts of J. procera, E. globulus, S. trifasciata, and P. dodecandra were good candidates in the control of maize weevils with limitations of allelopathy in the 100 ml/kg.
