Nostalgia, Sensations and Local Products in Rural Tourism Experiences in a Portuguese Schist Village
Authors: Kastenholz Elisabeth , Fernández-Ferrín Pilar , Rodrigues Áurea 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Rural tourism has attracted increasing attention in recent decades. It responds to new market demands, some of which driven by a nostalgic quest for a ‘rural idyll’, as well as the need of many European rural territories to find new sources of income and development. Local products represent a relevant asset for appealing to rural tourist experiences, enhancing local identity and regional economies. Based on a study of the rural tourist experience as lived by visitors of a Portuguese schist village, the present paper analyses the role of nostalgia and sensory experiences in leading to tourists’ purchase of local products, using a conditional process analysis. Results confirm this link and also show that tourists seem to be more affected by these dynamics than excursionists. Implications of results for management and development of rural territories involving tourism and sales of local products are further discussed.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
A thorough understanding of plant behavior at different growth stages is of paramount importance for fruit quality improvement, the regulation of production periods, and reduced fruit production costs. There are as many as three waves of flowering in evergreen pomegranate cultivars – i.e., during the spring, rainy, and autumn seasons. However, for securing enhanced production of superior quality fruits as well as profit to the growers, crop regulation is required. This can be achieved by forcing the tree to rest at a particular stage and by producing abundant blossoming and quality fruits during any one of the three flushes. Observations on phenological phases would help in understanding the dates of specific stages of crop development, which in turn enable the growers to plan, organize, and carry out timely schedules of agronomic practices such as irrigation, fertilization, and crop protection. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate the response of pomegranate under different environmental conditions to identify a suitable flowering season to produce a better quality of fruits with consistent yield, and to enable standardization of management practices for optimum production based on phenological stages.
Self-assessment of football referees on their educational influence on children aged 9–12 during a sports competition
Authors: Płoszaj Katarzyna , Firek Wiesław 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Proper use of the educational potential of sports depends on the entities organizing children’s sports competitions (coaches, parents, referees). Particularly important is their awareness of the purposefulness and legitimacy of actions taken. Numerous studies have been devoted to the role of the coach and parents in providing children and young people with positive sporting experiences. In contrast, the referee has often been overlooked. The behavior of the referees during the match is also important for young players. Assuming that referee-player interactions have a major contribution to educational influence, the purpose of this study was to explore the opinions of soccer referees refereeing matches of children aged 9 to 12 years about their interactions with players in terms of emotional support, game organization, and instructional support. It was also decided to verify whether referees’ self-assessment of their educational function is influenced by experience. The research was conducted among 116 referees licensed by Mazovian Football Association who referee matches of children aged 9–12 years (Orliki and Młodziki categories) in the Masovian Voivodeship in Poland. To assess the referee-players educational interaction, a questionnaire survey was developed. These interactions are present in three domains: emotional support, game organization and instructional support. The results showed significant differences between referees’ self-assessments in the three domains. Referees rated their educational interactions with players higher in the domain of emotional support than the instructional support. Moreover, the results indicated that there was no differences in the referees’ self-assessment between the groups distinguished by more experienced in the domains of emotional support and game organization, while less experienced referees rated the quality of their educational interactions in the instructional support domain higher than those more experienced. The main conclusion of the research is the postulate to introduce pedagogical and psychological issues into the referee training.
Temple and Paradise. Some Remarks on the Dynamics of Sacred Place
Authors: Mihăilă Alexandru 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
In ancient eastern literature, the creation of the world could be connected to the building of the temple dedicated to the creator deity. Creation and temple-building represented for the ancient mentality an obvious continuity that legitimized the cult itself. A further connection could be drawn between the primeval world and the Temple Mount of Jerusalem. The present paper analyzes the intertwining elements of the temple on the holy mountain and the garden of paradise, the original place of pleasure in the presence of God, taking into account the primeval stories of Ezekiel and Genesis. Some elements of the biblical stories will be discussed as part of the history of traditions. For studying the concept of paradise, the "rst chapters of the Hebrew Bible are for now to be skipped, because, as it will be assumed, earlier accounts are found in the book of Ezekiel.

Abstract
This study focused on to examine whether the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) in a Peruvian education enterprise impacts on process management of enterprise which in turn enhance the performance of employees. Also, it is analyzed the impact of technology literacy on process management. Empirical data were collected using a survey questionnaire which was distributed to 142 ERP users in a Peruvian education enterprise to test the relationships among variables. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was analyzed the validity of construct and discriminant and, internal consistency by the composite reliability. ERP implementation has a positive impact in the performance of employees. The process management had a mediation effect between ERP implementation and performance. Also, technology literacy had an impact on performance. Outcomes provide further support for the validity of the model in Peru and globally. Thus, business owner/managers can use the model to help improve their options of success. Other stakeholders, investors and institutions that provide them with investment can also benefit from this model. The information also provides information to ERP implementation agents to support small business development. This is the first study reports the mediating effect of business strategy and organizational capabilities on the relationship between ERP implementation and firm performance. The outcomes of this study can be used to evaluate success of the ERP implementation evaluating preliminary the basic level of technology literacy.

Authors: Hinke Jana , Rain Tomáš , Hrabovská Barbora 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The objective of the research was to compare the procedures for the calculation of income tax in the Visegrad Four (V4) countries. The statutory income tax calculation procedures are very similar in the V4 countries. Particular systems differ parametrically. Based on a literature review, synthesis of knowledge, comparison and simulation calculations, it can be stated that Hungary has the lowest corporate tax rate, and in the simulative calculations it also produced the lowest tax and highest profit after taxation for a fictitious entity in Hungary. Income tax in the V4 countries differs mainly in the possibility of applying the loss of previous years, in the impact of depreciation on the amount of the tax and in the income tax rebate linked to the employment of the disabled.
European Banking System - Before and After Brexit -
Authors: Sbârcea Loana , Bătuşaru Cristina 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The history of the last 15 years has been marked by many events at European level, some which led to the last wave of EU enlargement in 2013, with the accession of Croatia, others that led European authorities to take radical action in order to overcome the crisis of 2007-2008, and recently the pandemic crisis of 2020, and the others that marked the first contraction of the European Union since its establishment, together with the decision of Great Britain to no longer be part of the European Union, a phenomenon known as Brexit. Starting from the important role that Great Britain played in the European Union, London being a famous financial and banking center, through this paper we propose to analyze the evolution of the banking system before and after Brexit, in order to highlight the impact that the Brits’ decision had on the European Union banking system. The broad context of the impact of Brexit on the European banking system, which has effects on both British and EU banks, will also be analyzed in this paper.
Religiosity and Corporate Social Responsibility: Do they Mix Well Together?
Authors: Tomasi Stella , Dewally Michaël , Liu Pu , Shao Yingying 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Although research in social norms and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is limited, previous studies show mixed results on the influence of social norms, specifically religiosity of the community, on firms’ CSR activities. Using the CSR scores from KLD database, we merge county- level religious data and other control variables to run multiple regression models. Contrary to existing theories suggesting more religious social norms would entice companies to do better, our results show that community religiosity has a negative impact on firms’ CSR scores. In our discussion, we provide insights that explain this seeming contradiction and provide directions for future studies.

Authors: Ogrean Claudia , Herciu Mihaela 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
European Commission’s six priorities for 2019-2024 are all in line with and leverage each other to support Europe’s twin transition to digitalization and sustainability; aiming to address the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, The Recovery Plan for Europe adds resilience as key dimension of EU’s progress, while reinforcing its commitment to the green and digital transformation. Counting for more than 99% of the enterprises, employing about two of three people, and generating more than a half of the value added - with similar weights as concerns Romania - EU’s SMEs are the engine of Europe's economy, therefore essential contributors to these transformative processes - as emphasized in the SME Strategy for a sustainable and digital Europe.
Against this background, the main questions the paper is addressing are: how ready the Romania’s SMEs are for the twin (digital and sustainability) transition the EU has embarked on? What are RO’s SMEs approaches to and performances on digitalization and sustainability against the EU27 SMEs’ average benchmark? How can the RO’s SMEs twin transition process may be speeded up? The analysis was mainly built on data provided by the Flash Eurobarometer 486: SMEs, start-ups, scale-ups and entrepreneurship (released in September 2020). The review of Eurobarometer 486 data on the two topics will then be examined and discussed, in order for the paper to eventually: identify the gaps between RO SMEs and EU27 SMEs in terms of perceptions, attitudes and behaviors related to the twin transition; explore the challenges (in terms of both opportunities and threats) RO’s SMEs face as regards the twin transition; provide some guidelines able to speed up the twin transition of RO’s SMEs.

Authors: Kritsanaviparkporn Chawan , Sangaphunchai Phoomphut , Treesirichod Arucha 
Published: September 2021

Background:
Topical moisturizer is recommended for atopic dermatitis.

Aims:
The aim of the study was to investigate the knowledge gap regarding the efficacy of moisturizer in young patients.

Methods:
A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted on randomised controlled trials comparing participant’s ≤15 years with atopic dermatitis, receiving either topical moisturizer or no moisturizer treatment. Certainty of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework.

Results:
Six trials were included (intervention n= 436; control n= 312). Moisturizer use extended time to flare by 13.52 days (95% confidence interval 0.05–26.99, I2 88%). Greater reduction in risk of relapse was observed during the first month of latency (pooled risk ratio 0.47, 95% confidence interval 0.31–0.72, I2 28%) compared to the second and third months (pooled risk ratio 0.65, 95% confidence interval 0.47–0.91, I2 35% and pooled risk ratio 0.63, 95% confidence interval 0.47–0.83, I2 33%, respectively).Treated patients were 2.68 times more likely to experience a three–six months remission (95% confidence interval1.18–6.09, I2 56%). Moisturizer minimally improved disease severity and quality of life.

Limitations:
There is a dire need to conduct randomised controlled trials with more robust and standardised designs.

Conclusion:
Moisturizer benefits young patients with atopic dermatitis. However, more research is needed to better estimate its efficacy.

Authors: Sakhraoui Nora , Metallaoui Sofia , Chefrour Azzedine , Hadef Azzedine 
Published: September 2021

Description du sujet. La flore exotique potentiellement envahissante cultivée dans la wilaya de Skikda (nord-est algérien) n’a jamais fait l’objet de recherche. Vu les effets néfastes potentiels qu’elle exercerait sur les écosystèmes si elle est avérée envahissante, une étude a été réalisée dans 60 localités horticoles réparties sur 4 pépinières, 54 jardins privés et 2 jardins de l’Université de Skikda. Objectifs. Cette étude vise à déterminer les espèces potentiellement envahissantes cultivées dans ces localités, étudier leurs caractéristiques et estimer leur degré de naturalisation. Méthodes. La liste des espèces potentiellement envahissantes a été élaborée sur la base des listes internationales figurant dans différents travaux. Les relevés floristiques effectués mentionnent le type biologique et les éventuelles fructification et régénération des plantules suivis in situ. Le degré de naturalisation a été déterminé grâce à la réalisation de prospections au niveau de trois communes. Résultats. Cinquante espèces et 43 genres appartenant à 29 familles botaniques ont été identifiés. Les familles les mieux représentées sont les Fabaceae, les Cactaceae, les Myrtaceae et les Poaceae. Les espèces d’origine américaine sont largement dominantes (46 %), suivies des espèces asiatiques (26 %), australiennes (20 %) et enfin celles de l’Afrique australe (8 %). Tous les types biologiques ont été enregistrés avec une dominance des espèces ligneuses (66 %). La fructification a été observée chez 40 espèces dont 13 seulement parviennent à produire des plantules dans le voisinage des pieds mères. Onze espèces sont naturalisées dans les sites prospectés, 2 en cours de naturalisation et 37 non naturalisées. Conclusions. Pour la première fois dans la région, la liste préliminaire des espèces potentiellement envahissantes cultivées est établie, ce qui devrait permettre la mise en place d’un plan d’action visant à surveiller leur culture et leur commercialisation.

Published: September 2021

Introduction. En raison de la diminution des ressources en bois d’œuvre tropicaux, il convient d'améliorer les connaissances sur les espèces ligneuses en vue de développer des politiques d'exploitation réellement durables. Reconnu pour la grande qualité de son bois, Cylicodiscus gabunensis Harms (Fabaceae-Caesalpinioideae) est une essence à haute valeur socio-économique. Cet article dresse la synthèse bibliographique des connaissances relatives à cette espèce en vue de mettre en avant l’ensemble des aspects méritant des investigations scientifiques approfondies. Littérature. Commercialisée sous le nom d’okan, C. gabunensis est une espèce ligneuse non grégaire vivant dans les forêts denses humides tropicales sempervirentes et semi-décidues. Arbre fétiche pour certains peuples autochtones, C. gabunensis est utilisé par les communautés rurales pour de multiples usages. C’est une espèce à phénologie régulière avec une dispersion anémochore des graines. Les populations d’arbres affichent un déficit de régénération en forêt dense humide sempervirente, ce qui compromettrait l’exploitation de l’espèce à long terme. Ce risque est accru par le manque évident d’informations écologiques et sylvicoles permettant une gestion durable. Conclusions. Cette revue bibliographique résume l’ensemble des informations disponibles sur C. gabunensis principalement en botanique, anatomie du bois, écologie et ethnobotanique. Elle renseigne sur l’état actuel des connaissances au regard des rythmes d’exploitation et de l’état des populations de l’espèce. Des informations complémentaires sont nécessaires pour (i) statuer sur la conservation des populations de l’espèce et (ii) proposer des stratégies de gestion adaptées.

Published: September 2021

Description of the subject. Pleurotus species are cultivated on lignocellulosic substrates, in which contaminant fungi such as Trichoderma spp. are common. A selective substrate for Pleurotus provides the necessary conditions for protection against contaminants. Studies show that Paenibacillus polymyxa and other thermophilic bacteria benefit from the selectivity of Pleurotus cultivation substrate, however, little is known regarding these bacterial communities. Objectives. To evaluate the effect of substrate inoculation with Paenibacillus polymyxa on the productivity of Pleurotus pulmonarius and its protection against Trichoderma. Method. Barley straw inoculated with P. polymyxa and non-inoculated straw (control) was used following 0, 3 or 5 days of fermentation prior to heat treatment in order to produce the cultivation substrate. The microbiological content before and after the heat treatment, the mycelial colonization by P. pulmonarius and Trichoderma viride in competition and the yield of P. pulmonarius were all evaluated. Results. We observed that inoculation with P. polymyxa increased the number of cultivable bacteria and changed the composition of the community. The inoculation decreased the colonization ability of T. viride and favored the mycelial growth, although the yield of mushrooms was affected. Higher yields of P. pulmomarius were obtained in the control substrate where no contamination of Trichoderma spp. was observed. Conclusions. Addition of P. polymyxa modified the natural microbiological succession in a fermentation of barley straw for 5 days, favoring the competitiveness of P. pulmonarius against T. viride. Fermentation of barley straw for 3 days, followed by heat treatment, benefits the yield and protection of P. pulmonarius against Trichoderma viride.

Published: September 2021

Description du sujet. Cette étude traite de la végétation et des Diptères Syrphidae au sein de Surfaces de Promotion de la Biodiversité (SPB) de type « prairies extensives » en contexte agricole. Objectifs. L’objectif consiste à tester l’influence des facteurs « taille » et « qualité botanique » des SPB sur la syrphifaune qui s’y développe. Il s’agit également de rechercher les relations entre la végétation et les syrphes, ainsi que de mettre en avant le potentiel de lutte biologique de ces surfaces. Méthode. Douze SPB ont été sélectionnées, sur la base de leur taille (< 3 000 m2 vs > 9 000 m2) et de leur niveau de qualité botanique établi sur la base de la présence d'espèces végétales indicatrices. Des inventaires de végétation ont été réalisés dans chacune des SPB, l’échantillonnage des syrphes a été effectué par la pose de deux pièges à émergence et d’un piège Malaise par site. Résultats. Indépendamment de leur taille ou de leur niveau de qualité botanique, les SPB abritent et attirent une faune syrphidologique majoritairement aphidiphage au stade larvaire. Les fleurs de couleur jaune et blanche ainsi que celles produisant du nectar influencent la richesse et l'abondance en syrphes. Conclusions. Le potentiel des SPB à abriter et attirer des syrphes aphidiphages montre qu'elles sont en mesure d’offrir un service de lutte biologique contre les ravageurs des cultures adjacentes.
