Abstract
Soil-borne pathogenic fungi responsible for serious damage in agriculture are widely distributed. Traditional approach to control these pathogens leads to the use of chemical fungicides, many of which have proven harmful side effects on the environment. Mycoparasitic fungi of the genus Trichoderma have been used for pathogens biocontrol as well as for their ability to promote plant growth. As increased mycoparasitic activity of mutant strain Trichoderma atroviride F742 has been observed, its use as a biocontrol agent might be considered. In this work, we focused on mycoparasitic activity of the strain T. atroviride F742 prepared by UV mutagenesis (from parental strain T. atroviride F534) and the physiological role of T. atroviride metabolites in antibiosis.

T. atroviride F742 shows remarkable mycoparasitic activity attacking and colonizing phytopathogens (Alternaria alternata, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium culmorum). Its isolated metabolites inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeasts, and fungi Candida albicans, A. alternata and F. culmorum. As different expression patterns in the secondary metabolites production of ABC transporters have been observed, we suggest their role in transport of secondary metabolites produced by T. atroviride F742.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
This study determined the effects of stocking density and water temperature on the rearing parameters and survival of larval blue bream under controlled conditions. Two experimental larval blue bream rearing variants were conducted. In the first experiment, larval blue bream were reared at different stocking densities of 20, 40, 80, and 120 indiv. dm−3 at 25°C. In the second experiment, larvae were reared in water at 15, 20, 25, and 30°C at a stocking density of 40 individuals per dm3. The larval blue bream achieved the highest growth rate at the lowest density tested (20 indiv. dm−3; 69.4 mg at an average length of 26.8 mm) and at the highest temperature tested (30°C; 80.1 mg at an average length of 28.4 mm). The final larval survival rate during rearing at different temperatures ranged from 95.2 to 97.6%, while the final larval survival rate at different stocking densities ranged from 91.4 to 94.6%. The lowest growth and survival rates were recorded for larvae reared in water at 15°C and at a density of 120 indiv. dm−3.

Abstract
Introduction: The fundamental mechanical properties of 3D printed surgical guides used in orthodontics represent an important indicator for the accuracy of the insertion of skeletal anchorage devices. The tensile strength of devices printed by stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP) methods, respectively, is influenced by factors such as finishing process.
Aim of the study: This study illustrates a comparison of the tensile strength in two different types of 3D printed devices (SLA, DLP respectively) undergoing or not a standard process of polishing.
Material and methods: Twenty-four specimens obtained according to ASTM D638-14 (Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Plastics) were used for the evaluation of tensile strength. Four groups of 6 samples from each category were created: SLA polished, SLA unpolished, DLP polished and DLP unpolished. After removing the support, finishing was performed to obtain smooth surfaces, according to the manufacturer’s recommendation. Type V specimen was used to perform tensile tests in accordance with the standard procedures ASTM D638-14 which recommends at least five specimens to be tested for each sample.
One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test showed statistically significant results at p < 0.05. SPSSv17 software was used for statistical analysis of the numerical variables, and also descriptive statistics were performed.
Results: The measurements included: tensile strength (maximum load), tensile stress at maximum load and tensile strain at maximum load. The maximum load (tensile strength) of the polished specimens was lower, both for the SLA and DLP, with no statistical significance results.
Conclusions: The conclusions indicated differences between maximum load and tensile stress at maximum load between polished and unpolished specimens, in both SLA and DLP groups. Althought the polishing process reduces the tensile strenght, the data analysis did not present statistically significant results.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
The present study addresses processes and tools for adult career guidance in the context of longer lives. The need for people in midlife to prepare for their remaining working lives is more urgent since the global pandemic, making demands on career and adult educators. Older workers and job-seekers, especially those with lower levels of prior education, face difficulties if employers discriminate against them or discount their skills and abilities, especially in low skilled sectors. An Erasmus Plus project’s results are discussed, demonstrating the benefits of online approaches to support employability, highlighting whether older workers could gain from using online and peer supported tools.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
The use of credit for various occasions has become a routine in our lives. In return, banking and financial institutions require to determine whether the loan demands from them contain any risk. Accordingly, these institutions have been increased their activities in determining whether credit rating models from past credit records of the person applying for the loan works properly. Machine learning-based technologies have opened a new era in this field. AI and machine learning based methods for credit scoring are currently implemented by banking or non-banking financial institutions. Employed models are to extract meaningful features from the required data in which wide variety of information available. In this study, credit risk assessment is conducted using boosting methods such as CatBoost, XGBoost and Light GBM. To this aim, Kaggle Home Credit Default Risk dataset is used and the effect of crediting tendency on the results is also considered. The results have shown that gradient boosting methods provide results that are close to each other, and crediting tendency produces better AUC score in CatBoost while it causes a small decrement in AUC score of XGBoost and LightGBM.
From Quarterly to Monthly Turnover Figures Using Nowcasting Methods

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Short-term business statistics at Statistics Netherlands are largely based on Value Added Tax (VAT) administrations. Companies may decide to file their tax return on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Most companies file their tax return quarterly. So far, these VAT based short-term business statistics are published with a quarterly frequency as well. In this article we compare different methods to compile monthly figures, even though a major part of these data is observed quarterly. The methods considered to produce a monthly indicator must address two issues. The first issue is to combine a high- and low-frequency series into a single high-frequency series, while both series measure the same phenomenon of the target population. The appropriate method that is designed for this purpose is usually referred to as “benchmarking”. The second issue is a missing data problem, because the first and second month of a quarter are published before the corresponding quarterly data is available. A “nowcast” method can be used to estimate these months. The literature on mixed frequency models provides solutions for both problems, sometimes by dealing with them simultaneously. In this article we combine different benchmarking and nowcasting models and evaluate combinations. Our evaluation distinguishes between relatively stable periods and periods during and after a crisis because different approaches might be optimal under these two conditions. We find that during stable periods the so-called Bridge models perform slightly better than the alternatives considered. Until about fifteen months after a crisis, the models that rely heavier on historic patterns such as the Bridge, MIDAS and structural time series models are outperformed by more straightforward (S)ARIMA approaches.
Do the barrier islands of the Po Delta constitute an ecological trap for colonising Slender-billed Gulls Larus genei?
Authors: Valle Roberto G. , Verza Emiliano , Scarton Francesco 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The Slender-billed Gull (Larus genei) breeds with a scattered distribution on an extensive nesting area, ranging from India and Afghanistan in the East to the Iberian Peninsula in the West, including the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. A number of habitats are used for breeding, such as sand-spits and beaches along coasts and islands of land-locked seas, steppe lakes, but also brackish or freshwater lagoons near river deltas. Sea level rise dramatically affects coastal sites, thus being the greatest threat to the survival of many seabird species, including gulls. This note describes habitat selection, breeding success and causes of failure of Slender-billed Gulls during their colonisation of the northern Po Delta (NE Italy) during 2018–2022. Slender-billed Gulls colonised the northern Po Delta in 2018. Six colonies were found during the study period. Birds used both natural barrier islands and artificial dredge islands. Productivity in the first five years after the colonisation event was zero, mostly due to colony sites being flooded by high tides and storms. If Slender-billed Gulls will switch to nest in nearby fish farms, these could provide plenty of suitable breeding sites, safe from tidal flooding and with very low predation pressure, allowing sufficient productivity. At the moment, Slender-billed Gulls are unsuccessful in colonising the barrier islands of the Po Delta.
Relationship between landscape structure and the diet of Common Barn-owl (Tyto alba) at different distances from the Drava River ecological corridor
Authors: Horváth Győző F. , Mánfai Kinga , Horváth Adrienn 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between landscape structure at different distances from the Drava River in South Hungary and the food composition of the Common Barn-owl. Pellets were collected from 15 villages between 2006 and 2008. Based on the CORINE land cover elements, five land use types were determined, and five landscape metrics were calculated to compare land use and landscape structure in the three distance zones. There were significant differences in the Shannon and Simpson diversity of small mammal assemblages between the three areas. A positive relationship was detected between the distance categories and the abundance distribution of the Striped Field Mouse and Field Vole. The relative abundance of the Striped Field Mouse in the diet of Common Barn-owl was influenced by the increase in the mean perimeter/area ratio and the mean of the contiguity index. The value of the trophic level index was negatively influenced by the decrease in crop patches and the increase in pasture and grassland areas, which land use types facilitate the distribution of insectivores. Our results suggest that landscape characteristics influence prey occurrence in hunting areas and the frequency-dependent availability of small mammal prey, which determines the resource utilization of Common Barn-owl.
Four nesting attempts of a Great Bustard Otis tarda female in one reproductive season
Authors: Nagy Dénes , Kurucz Zsuzsanna , Tóth Péter , Raab Rainer , Králl Attila 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
A mature Great Bustard (Otis tarda) female tagged with a satellite transmitter in Dévaványa made four breeding attempts in 2019. A total of seven eggs were laid on the four occasions. None of the breeding attempts were successful, and the bird was killed by a predator, presumably a Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), during the fourth breeding attempt. The four egg-laying attempts are a new experience in the reproductive biology of the species. The failure of the nestings and the death of the bird itself confirm that the conservation measures of the species, as emphasised in international and national conservation plans – controlling predators and egg predator populations, ensuring undisturbed breeding conditions – are important conservation biology actions serving for the protection of the species.

Abstract
The Brown-necked Raven (Corvus ruficollis) has an extremely large distribution range in Africa and Asia, including the Middle East. The species primary live in deserts and semi-deserts, however its urban population is also increasing. In this paper, I reported the first record of the species for Lebanon. On 8th February 2022, I have seen an individual on the seaside coast near the harbor in Tripoli, North Lebanon. After I took photos of the bird, several ornithologist confirmed my correct identification. The nearest country where it was recorded before is Palestine.
The Impact of Investor Sentiment on Housing Prices and the Property Stock Index Volatility in South Africa

Published: June 2023

Abstract
While prior studies have examined the predictive effect of macroeconomic and country risk components on property stock index dynamics, limited explanations exist in the literature regarding the time-varying effect of investor sentiment on housing prices. Accordingly, this study assesses the impact of investor sentiment on housing properties’ returns and the effect of investor sentiment on the conditional volatility of housing price indices under different market conditions, using GARCH, GJR-GARCH, E-GARCH and Markov-switching VAR models. We found investor sentiment to significantly impact the risk premium of the property returns, where property returns increased with positive changes in investor sentiment, and conditional volatility of property returns decreased with the same changes in investor sentiment. Investor sentiment exerts positive predictive influences on the prices of small and medium houses, in both bullish and bearish market conditions but does not affect the large housing market segment. This makes the implementation of risk-related diversification across small and medium real estate portfolios more effective than large real estate portfolios. Our findings show that investor sentiment is a plausible driver of mass investor redemption actions under conditions of uncertainty.
Analysis of Marketing Tools Used by Real Estate Development Companies Using Secret Client Research – a Case Study From Krakow
Authors: Tomasik Klaudia , Marona Bartłomiej 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The aim of the paper is to find out what marketing tools are used by development companies operating in Poland to attract customers and whether the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution on marketing can be observed. The secondary aim of the paper is to determine whether developers building investments in the area of the restricted use area (O.O.U.) use more marketing tools to convince potential customers to buy. For this purpose, a secret client survey was used and the research sample consists of four development companies and four of their investments in Kraków. The research conducted led to the disclosure of marketing tools used by developers. The survey shows that some elements of home branding, storytelling and banner ads, social media ads, ads on websites and portals and information brochures are being used. Through the use of virtual walks, housing visualization and the use of social media in advertising, the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution on marketing in the industry can be seen. The analysis shows that companies creating developments in the restricted use area are not using more tricks to attract customers. All developers selected for the study use a similar number of marketing tools.

Abstract
For many years, the increase of energy derived from renewable sources in the total production of electricity, has been an important aim for both central and local authorities in many countries, including Poland. –Many investments undertaken in this area contribute to sustainable development. One of the branches of "green energy" may be prosument production induced by residential self-sufficient estates. The number of technologies and facilities-related developments have been growing in each EU country every year. The current article, aims to examine the potential influence of self-sufficient estates on "green energy" production and thus on sustainable development in Poland. In order to achieve the above, case studies were undertaken. They showed the profitability of examined photovoltaic installations and capability of the sector in energy production.
The Ethnolinguistic Vitality of Gulgulia
Authors: Mishra Sneha , Rahman Md Mojibur 
Published: June 2023

Summary
Language death is a phenomenon with symptoms related to demeaning vocabulary count and depletion of domains of language use along with the simplicity of linguistic structures. It commences by exhibiting traits of a declining number of fluent speakers, dwindling attitude of the speakers with regard to their heritage language, language shift, lack of inter-generational language transfer accompanied by a feeling that heritage language is inferior to outside languages, and Gulgulia exhibits every trait of such a dying language. It has become a waning language that is very close to its permanent extinction. The present study elucidates the ethnolinguistic vitality of Gulgulia tested through chosen sociolinguistic parameters which were found suitable to Gulgulia’s scenario. It also explores the linguistic situation of the Gulgulian community in Dhanbad, the community members’ language use in their homes and in their miscellaneous interethnic interactions and examines what relation prevails between the community’s language preference and their vitality. It was found that speaker variables, such as age, gender, and language competence governed the speaker’s attitude toward the heritage language. The location of the speech community is also a regulating factor in determining the inclination for preservation or attrition of the native language. The analysis of the speech behavior in the Gulgulian community confirms the loss of major genres such as the art of narration. Out of all the genres of language use, only two are surviving, which is alarming.
Theory of Boundedly Rational Planned Behavior: A New Model
Authors: Ashraf Mohammad Ali 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The prime intent of this article is to propose a new model in the paradigm of behavioral and business economics. To attain this objective, the study modifies a famous behavioral model of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), which is based on the generalized unbounded rationality of neoclassical economics in dictating actual human behavior. Based on the idea of bounded rationality expounded by Herbert A. Simon, TPB has been modified by replacing intention variable with bounded rationality as the antecedent of actual behavior. The new model has been tested collating data collected from the participants of a Microfinance Institute currently operating in Bangladesh. Data were analyzed following the procedure of structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings of the experiment show that the new model of TBRPB’s predictability is observed to be much better than TPB which may be regarded as a basic contribution to the existing body of knowledge.
