AN EVALUATION OF THE FACTORS INFLUENCING VEGETABLE COMMERCIALIZATION IN KENYA
Authors: M’ithibutu Mbiti Job , Gogo Elisha Otieno , Mangale Fikirini Lugogo , Baker Gregory 
Published: February 2021

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to establish factors that influence vegetable commercialization among smallholder farmers of fresh vegetables in Kenya. The present study defined commercialization against farmer characteristics including portion of land committed to vegetable farming, share of household income generated from it, and the producers’ perception that the vegetables they consumed at the farm were produced or procured without any substantial cost.
Methodology: The researcher adopted a cross-sectional survey design to randomly recruit a sample of crop farmers (n=118) from Kirinyaga and Kiambu counties in Kenya. Data on agrochemical use, crop diversity and scale as well as logistical issues regarding proximity to markets and social status of the crop farmers were collected using a researcher-administered questionnaire in a one-on-one interview. These data were initially entered on MS Excel spread sheets for cleaning and later transferred to Minitab (Ver 12) for statistical analyses. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to isolate crucial commercialization factors responsible for varying agrochemical use behaviours among crop farmers and later presented in scree plots.
Results/Findings: The study revealed that commercialization of tomatoes and kale was real in different areas of study which was influenced by structural and socio-demographic factors. From the study findings, structural policies to promote horticulture and high value crop production had a positive impact on production of vegetables while wildlife conservation and livestock development resulted to human-wildlife conflicts due to agrochemical abuse. Various socio-demographic factors that influence commercialization of vegetables included: household size, farm size, proportion of land used for vegetable production and household income. It emerged that household size (Eigen value EV=3.63), income (EV=2.61) and farm size (EV=1.27) accounted for 68.4% of variability in agrochemical abuse. This finding also explains their marginalization from county government extension services and high costs of market access.
Unique contribution to theories, practice and policy: The study finds that vegetable farmers’ perception of commercialization leaned more towards increasing production in response to consumer demand and not necessarily to raise household food supplies. Famers dedicated over two thirds (66.67%) of their land to vegetable farming to support their livelihood (97.1%, SE= 1.30). Commercialization of vegetable farming was influenced by the level of education (SE=3.68). The study found out that that access to ICT equipment, particularly mobile phones, were the prime means via which farming techniques and agribusiness practices were learnt or improved (V= 0.196 Pearson, p=0.11).

Published: February 2021

Para evaluar la pertinencia de la licenciatura en Turismo Alternativo de la Universidad Intercultural Maya de Quintana Roo (UIMQROO), en marzo de 2018 las profesoras de este programa educativo trabajamos con egresados mediante la metodología sociocrítica1 y analizamos sus percepciones, expresadas tanto en un cuestionario individual como en un grupo focal. En ambos casos, se plantean cambios que responden a las competencias requeridas en las demandas laborales del turismo alternativo, a la vez que reconocen, por tener una mirada intercultural, la importancia de seguir incorporando los saberes tradicionales y de fortalecer la identidad con base en la lengua y la cultura maya. Asimismo, los egresados señalan la relevancia del respeto a la diversidad, lo cual revaloriza la pertinencia y el aporte social del modelo intercultural con énfasis en la vinculación comunitaria.

1 El método sociocrítico se caracteriza por hacer partícipes a los involucrados en el empoderamiento social, es decir, el investigador sólo es un facilitador e implica la adopción de decisiones consensuadas para la transformación desde el interior. Todas estas características son tomadas del paradigma estudiado por Philipp (1998). También implica el empleo de herramientas participativas para transformar la realidad social y el intercambio de conocimiento como apropiación social.
Erosion-Corrosion of AISI 302 Stainless Steel Sudden Expansion Pipes in High Salt Wastewater: Effect of Fluid Flow on Different Positions of a Sudden Expansion Pipe
Authors: Wang Weibing , Ren Yongsheng 
Published: February 2021

Erosion-corrosion (E-C) is common in chemical industries. Sudden expansion pipes (SEP) are one of the flow components which may experience severe erosion rates. Computational fluid dynamic modeling (CFD) and flow-through experiments were used to study E-C for a SEP of AISI 302 stainless steel. A typical geometry for SEP was investigated: 20 mm diameter inlet pipe, 40 mm diameter outlet pipe, with an inlet flow rate of 0.1 m/s, and 10 wt% concentration of SiO2. CFD simulation results showed that turbulence energy and wall shear were highest at 5 mm and fluid axial velocity was lowest at 5 mm from the inlet/outlet SEP connection point. E-C test results showed that the most severe E-C occurred between 5 mm and 7 mm downstream of the SEP. At deeper lengths into SEP, the corrosion rate decreased and remained constant. The results indicated that increasing wall shear and turbulence energy increased the mechanical effects of particles on SEP and hence increased the E-C rates of the reattachment point. This work provides a means of understanding E-C behavior and predicting erosion damage of SEP.
Franco en Portugal: la revitalización de los mitos franquistas para romper el cerco internacional
Authors: Sanz Hernando Clara , Cabrera Ana 
Published: February 2021

El trabajo analiza la visita de Estado que Franco realizó al Portugal de Sa­lazar, en octubre de 1949. Este viaje se preparó con fines propagandísticos para romper el aislamiento internacio­nal de España y mejorar la imagen del caudillo en el exterior. Con la utilización de las perspectivas histórica, cuantitati­va, cualitativa y comparativa se analiza este acontecimiento y las informaciones que proporcionaron dos diarios espa­ñoles (ABC y Arriba) y dos portugueses (Diário de Notícias y Diário da Man­hã), sometidos a un potente sistema de censura y consignas. La investigación concluye que un formidable aparato propagandístico convirtió este acto en un éxito. Para este fin, se recuperó y re­vitalizó el arsenal mitológico creado por el régimen desde la misma Guerra Civil. En el nuevo contexto de la Guerra Fría, el caudillo apareció como un adelanta­do a su época por haber frenado al co­munismo desde el 18 de julio de 1936. Franco in Portugal: The Revitalisation of Franquist Myths in Order to Break International Barriers This study analyses Franco’s state visit to Salazar’s Portugal in October 1949. This visit was organized with the pro­pagandist aim of improving Franco’s international image and thus breaking Spain’s isolation. This event is analysed using historical, quantitative, qualita­tive and comparative perspectives to assess two Spanish (ABC and Arriba) and two Portuguese (Diário de Notí­cias and Diário da Manhã) daily news­papers, all subject to strong censorship mechanisms. This study concludes that a formidable propagandistic structure made a success out of the visit. To this end, the arsenal of myths created by the regime from the time of the Spanish Civil War was recovered and revitalised. In the new context of the Cold War, Franco was seen as a leader who was ahead of his time for having put an end to communism on July 18, 1936.

Authors: Sánchez Olmos Cande , Segarra Saavedra Jesús , Hidalgo Marí Tatiana 
Published: February 2021

Este artículo analiza el brand place­ment del top 30 de la lista de éxitos Billboard Hot 100 de 2016. Para ello se proponen los siguientes objetivos espe­cíficos: conocer qué artistas, marcas y productos aparecen en los hits interna­cionales; observar el tiempo que ocupan las marcas en los videoclips y analizar si las marcas se integran o se imponen forzando la narrativa del videoclip. La metodología —que combina técnicas cualitativas y técnicas cuantitativas— se inicia con un análisis de contenido que pretende medir la frecuencia y el modo en que las marcas son integradas en los videoclips. En segundo lugar, se aplica un análisis cualitativo con pers­pectiva semiótica para observar la in­tegración de las marcas en el discurso audiovisual. La muestra se centra en la lista de éxitos Billboard, la más im­portante de la industria de la música a escala internacional en 2016, un año que destaca por la recuperación del sector discográfico. Los resultados apuntan que el videoclip se convierte en un so­porte promocional de especial interés para las marcas y permiten confirmar que la presencia de las marcas varía desde un emplazamiento impuesto a una integración sutil, pero perfecta­mente reconocibles por la audiencia. Brand Placement in Billboard Hot 100 Music Videos: Brand Integration or Imposition? This paper analyses brand placement in the top 30 music videos on the Bill­board Hot 100 chart in 2016. To that end, three specific objectives are propo­sed. First, the paper will identify the ar­tists, brands and products that appear in these international hits. Second, the paper will focus on the duration of time occupied by the brands in the music videos. Finally, the article will examine whether the brands have been integra­ted into or, on the contrary, imposed on and forced into the narrative of the mu­sic video. The methodology, which com­bines qualitative and quantitative tech­niques, begins with a content analysis intended to measure the frequency and way in which the brands are integrated into the music videos. Then a qualita­tive analysis will be carried out from a semiotic perspective in order to discern the degree of integration or imposition of brands in the audiovisual discourse of the music video. The sample is drawn from the Billboard Hot 100 chart, which was the most important list in the inter­national music industry in 2016, a year that stands out because of the recovery of the record industry. The results indi­cate that music videos have become an advertising format of special interest to brands and confirm that the presence of brands ranges from imposed placement to subtle integration, but that they are perfectly recognisable to the audience in either case.

Published: February 2021

Pasal 41 Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 tentang Perkawinan mengatur akibat putusnya perkawinan karena perceraian baik cerai talak maupun cerai gugat. Pasal 149 Kompilasi Hukum Islam secara khusus mengatur tentang akibat hukum perceraian yang diajukan oleh suami (cerai talak) saja. Berdasarkan Pasal 149 Kompilasi Hukum Islam tersebut pada umumnya hakim tidak menghukum suami untuk memberikan mut’ah dan nafkah iddah. Namun dalam putusan perkara nomor 318/Pdt.G/2020/PA.Mtp, Majelis Hakim mengadili putusan perkara cerai gugat menggunakan hak ex officio nya dan menghukum kepada tergugat (suami) untuk membayar nafkah Iddah dan mut’ah meskipun penggugat (istri) tidak menuntut hal tersebut dan tergugat tidak pernah hadir dalam persidangan. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pertimbangan hakim dalam pemberian mut’ah dan nafkah iddah dalam perkara cerai gugat dan mengetahui bagaimana analisis yuridis terhadap putusan perkara tersebut. Metodologi yang digunakan yakni yuridis normatif dengan membahas doktrin-doktrin atau asas-asas dalam ilmu hukum dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual kemudian dianalisa secara kualitatif yuridis sehingga dapat memberikan jawaban atas permasalahan tersebut. Adapun hasil analisanya antara lain : 1) Penerapan hak ex officio hakim dengan menghukum suami untuk membayar mut’ah dan nafkah iddah kepada mantan istri pada perkara 318/Pdt.G/2020/PA.Mtp tersebut telah sesuai berdasarkan ketentuan Pasal 41 huruf (c) UU No. 1 Tahun 1974 jo Pasal 149 huruf a Kompilasi Hukum Islam namun demikian hakim menjatuhkan putusan melebihi apa yang dituntut sehingga menyimpangi ketentuan yang diatur pada Pasal 178 ayat (3) HIR/ Pasal 189 ayat (3) RBg dan melanggar asas ultra petita. 2) Penjatuhan amar putusan dengan pembebanan terhadap tergugat untuk membayar nafkah iddah, mut’ah dan nafkah anak yang menimbulkan kewajiban kepada tergugat seharusnya mempertimbangkan kehadiran mantan suami dan kemampuan serta kebutuhan kehidupan yang layak bagi tergugat, sebagaimana asas audi et alteram partem dalam Pasal 4 ayat (1) UU Nomor 48 Tahun 2009 tentang Kekuasaan Kehakiman, sehingga tidak berakibat putusan tidak dapat dilaksanakan (illusoir).
A Study of the Differences about Chinese Qixi Festival Custom——Taking Shanxi’s Old Local Chronicles as an Example
Authors: Zhang Bei 
Published: February 2021

The Qixi Festival is a traditional festival in China, which inherits the production model of men's farming and women's weaving for thousands of years. It is considered as a symbol of Chinese farming culture and widely propagated in many provinces in China since a long time ago. However, people in different areas celebrate this festival in different ways during different periods. This can be found in the documents that recorded in local chronicles.
This research takes Shanxi Province as an example. Through sorting out 72 types of local chronicles that recorded the contents of the Qixi Festival which compiled during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, we found that the differences mainly manifested in four aspects: the gender and age of the participants, the objects of sacrifice, the sacrificial offering, and the behavior of begging dexterousness. Through analyzing, it can be seen that these differences are caused by the impact of the environment and also related to the integration of multiple cultural elements in the festival itself.
High Froude Number Experimental Investigation of the 2 DOF Behavior of a Multihull Float in Head Waves

Published: February 2021

Dynamic Velocity Prediction Programs are taking an increasingly prominent role in high performance yacht design, as they allow to deal with seakeeping abilities and stability issues. Their validation is however often neglected for lack of time and data.
This paper presents an experimental campaign carried out in the towing tank of the Ecole Centrale de Nantes, France, to validate the hull modeling in use in a previously presented Dynamic Velocity Prediction Program. Even though with foils, hulls are less frequently immersed, a reliable hull modeling is necessary to properly simulate the critical transient phases such as touchdowns and takeoffs.
The model is a multihull float with a waterline length of 2.5 m. Measurements were made in head waves in both captive and semi-captive conditions (free to heave and pitch), with the model towed at constant yaw and speed. To get as close as possible to real sailing conditions, experiments were made at both zero and non-zero leeway angles, sweeping a wide range of speed values, with Froude numbers up to 1.2. Both linear and nonlinear wave conditions were studied in order to test the limits of the modeling approach, with wave steepness reaching up to 7% in captive conditions and 3.5% in semi-captive ones.
The paper presents the design and methodology of the experiments, as well as comparisons of measured loads and motions with simulations. Loads are shown to be consistent, with a good representation of the sustained non-linearities. Pitch and heave motions depict an encouraging correlation which confirms that the modeling approach is valid.

Published: February 2021

AbstractWir beschreiben ein neues, 209,7 kbp umfassendes Plasmid aus Sandaracinus sp. MSr10575 (pSa001), das ein kryptisches Sekundärmetabolit‐Biosynthese‐Gencluster (BGC) trägt. Die Aktivierung dieses BGC durch Austausch der nativen Promotorsequenz mittels homologer Rekombination gegen ein Vanillat‐induzierbares System führte zu Produktion, Isolierung und Strukturaufklärung einer neuartigen Sekundärmetabolitenfamilie – der Sandarazole A–G. Sie besitzen faszinierende Strukturmerkmale und reaktive funktionelle Gruppen, wie etwa ein α‐chloriertes Keton, ein Epoxyketon und einen (2R)‐2‐Amino‐3‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)propionsäure‐Baustein. Die Untersuchung ihrer Biosynthese erlaubte den Vorschlag eines schlüssigen Biosynthesemodells, das mehrere ungewöhnliche Schritte umfasst. Das chlorierte Sandarazol C zeigte einen IC50‐Wert von 0,5 μm gegen HCT‐116‐Zellen und eine MHK von 14 μm gegen Mycobacterium smegmatis, was auf eine Funktion der Sandarazole als defensive Sekundärmetabolite oder Toxine hinweist.

Published: February 2021

AbstractMass spectrometry imaging (MSI) enables simultaneous spatial mapping for diverse molecules in biological tissues. Matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) has been a mainstream MSI method for a wide range of biomolecules. However, MALDI‐MSI of biological homopolymers used for energy storage and molecular feedstock is limited by, e.g., preferential ionization for certain molecular classes. Matrix‐free nanophotonic ionization from silicon nanopost arrays (NAPAs) is an emerging laser desorption ionization (LDI) platform with ultra‐trace sensitivity and molecular imaging capabilities. Here, we show complementary analysis and MSI of polyhydroxybutyric acid (PHB), polyglutamic acid (PGA), and polysaccharide oligomers in soybean root nodule sections by NAPA‐LDI and MALDI. For PHB, number and weight average molar mass, polydispersity, and oligomer size distributions across the tissue section and in regions of interest were characterized by NAPA‐LDI‐MSI.
