ADULT LITERACY IN EUROPE AS GUIDELINE FOR LIFELONG LEARNING POLICY

Adult literacy and its promotion are high on the political agenda in many countries. Every country needs to ensure that its society has a sufficient level of education, that the knowledge and skills acquired in the education system meet the demands of the labour market, and that adults have the opportunity and motivation to continuously improve their skills in the context of the changing world of work. The country's commitment to lifelong learning in Europe is also guided by the European Commission's objectives and indicators for monitoring lifelong learning. Therefore, research on adult literacy, the comparative analysis of its results between different countries and the contextualisation of these results become guidelines for the formulation and implementation of lifelong learning policies. The aim of the research is to compare and group adult literacy in different European countries. The research draws on data from the International Survey of Adult Skills OECD PIAAC. European countries that participated in PIAAC cycle 1 were selected. Three aspects of literacy were analysed: Reading Literacy, Numeracy and Problem Solving in a Technology Rich Environment. The analysis revealed that three groups of countries can be distinguished in the analysis of adult literacy in Europe: Countries with high literacy rates, countries with literacy rates close to the OECD average, and countries that are below the OECD average. Higher adult literacy rates are related to long-term and consistent lifelong learning strategies implemented by countries, which have led to the creation of the necessary adult education infrastructure and the provision of learning services that meet the needs of both learners and the labour market.

Possibility of determining the nitrogen content in winter wheat plants during the earing phase using remote sensing data

The study examined the possibility of using remote sensing Data (RED, NIR, NDVI) for monitoring winter wheat crops in production conditions for nitrogen content in plants. This work is divided into two stages: 1) analysis of the correlation between NDVI indicators and nitrogen content on production crops of the North-Caucasian FNAC; 2) comparative analysis of the correlation between nitrogen content and remote sensing data in the conditions of the “Rodina” agricultural enterprise in the Shpakovsky district of the Stavropol territory. Selection of plant samples (sheaf material) was carried out according to the generally accepted method. Repeatability — 4-fold. The chemical composition of plant organs was determined using the method of V.T. Kurkaev and co-authors, and the chlorophyll content was determined by Y.I. Milaeva and N.P. Primak. We used the earth remote sensing data provided by the Terra satellite and obtained by the Modis scanning Spectroradiometer. At the first stage, the relationships between the nitrogen content in winter wheat plants and the values of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) were studied. At the early stages of growth and development of winter wheat plants, high correlation coefficients between these indicators were obtained. Thus, the correlation coefficient on average for the fields in 2012 was equal to -0.89, and in 2013 and 2014 — -0.82. In later phases of growth and development of winter wheat plants, this relationship was not observed. At the second stage, it was found that it is advisable to use the red reflection index to assess the nitrogen content at the local level (a separate agricultural enterprise) in the earing phase. In this case, there is a stable inverse correlation — the average for three years of research was -0.71. When other remote sensing indicators (NDVI and NIR) are used in the analysis, the links are either absent or less apparent.

Costs and global impacts of black carbon abatement strategies

A C T Abatement of particulate matter has traditionally been driven by health concerns rather than its role in global warming.Here we assess future abatement strategies in terms of how much they reduce the climate impact of black carbon (BC) and organic carbon (OC) from contained combustion.We develop global scenarios which take into account regional differences in climate impact, costs of abatement and ability to pay, as well as both the direct and indirect (snow-albedo) climate impact of BC and OC.To represent the climate impact, we estimate consistent region-specific values of direct and indirect global warming potential (GWP) and global temperature potential (GTP).The indirect GWP has been estimated using a physical approach and includes the effect of change in albedo from BC deposited on snow.The indirect GWP is highest in the Middle East followed by Russia, Europe and North America, while the total GWP is highest in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia.We conclude that prioritizing emission reductions in Asia represents the most cost-efficient global abatement strategy for BC because Asia is (1) responsible for a large share of total emissions, (2) has lower abatement costs compared to Europe and North America and (3) has large health cobenefits from reduced PM 10 emissions.

Effects of Climate Change and Phenological Monitoring of the Indigenous Godello Variety in a Territory of Heroic Viticulture and Biosphere Reserve

In the year 2023, the phenological behaviour of the indigenous Godello variety of vineyard was evaluated at Souto Chao, located in the north-west of the Iberian Peninsula, which is a wine-growing region and considered as the place of Designation of Origin (Ribeira Sacra DO). In 2017 and 2018, a similar study was carried out on the same plants of Godello variety, but this latest study aimed to ascertain the nature and extent of changes in the crop’s phenology within the timeframe between the initial two years analysed (2017 and 2018) and the present year, 2023. The scale used for study was the one proposed by the BBCH of Lorenz. The average length of the vegetative cycle in the initial two years was 167 days (161 and 174 days in 2017 and 2018, respectively), while in 2023 it was 164 days. The results obtained show a longer vegetative cycle in 2018, with significant differences between the beginning and end of the different phenological phases. Of the three years analysed, 2018 stands out showing a significant deviation from the average. Moreover, there is a close relationship between the phenological behaviour of the Godello variety and certain climatic parameters. Temperature is the most decisive factor, specifically the average annual minimum temperature, which was lower in 2018. In addition, the highest thermal requirements were observed in that same year, with figures slightly above 5200 GDD. As for the historical harvest dates, there are only two recorded years in which the grape harvest took place in August, namely in 2017 and 2023. In this geographical region, the grape harvest, with the exception of the two years mentioned above, usually takes place in September, as was the case in 2018. The vulnerability of viticulture to climate change depends on the magnitude of the impacts. Global warming is the great challenge for the wine business and will force changes in vineyard management to curb its most damaging effects. Its most obvious effects, such as the rise in average global temperature or the decrease and redistribution of rainfall, increasingly in the form of occasional and intense storms, have gone from perception to certainty.

Research into changes in ship resistance in the shallow water by numerical method

Vietnam has a long coastline and dense network of rivers and canal systems with various and complicated water depths of a waterway. According to data from the Department of Inland Waterways in 2019, Vietnam's waterways transport industry reached 250 million tons/year. In which coastal transport accounted for over 60 million tons/year, promoting the shipping industry and economic integration between regions, making the most of Vietnam's natural coastal conditions. In most general cases, the vessels working in the different water depths of the operational area will significantly affect the ship and wave field resistance. For the transport vessels with low speed, the research of the effect of resistance and wave field has an essential role in ensuring the primary maritime aim of energy saving and energy efficiency. Nowadays, computation fluid dynamics is a practical approach for predicting the ship's hydrodynamic features. However, many computation fluid dynamics types of research have investigated the ship resistance in deep water, which can not consider the effect of changing ship resistance with different water depths. In shallow water, the increasing pressure gradient field leads to an increase in the overall resistance. Therefore, in this study, the volume of fluid (VOF) multiphase model can show the free surface effect and wave elevation in shallow waters. The results clearly showed the success of the computational modeling of multiphase flows around the vessel (air and water). The wavefield in the computation fluid dynamics results is also suitable for related published research experiments. Besides, the resistance and wave elevation around the hull is significantly changing at different depths. In the preliminary design stage, it can apply this work to propose a suitable hull form of transport vessels for Vietnam's waterways.

Specifics of drying raw cotton using functional ceramics synthesized in large solar oven

The effective drying of raw cotton using functional ceramics synthesized in a large solar furnace was developed (city of Parkent). Two kinds of ceramics are used to achieve the established goal. One of these methods ensures the high-quality, effective drying of raw cotton, while the other is used to prevent the formation of peroxile radicals from cotton oil in cotton plant seeds. According to provisional results, the total power costs of using IR drying with functional ceramics are nine to ten times lower than in traditional drying, whereas energy costs are more than two to three times lower. Taking into account the relatively low power costs, the considered solution allows one to obtain finished products with no more than 6–7% residual moisture, which makes them better preserved and decreases the risk of self-inflammation.

A Safe Computational Framework for Integer Programming Applied to Chvátal’s Conjecture

We describe a general and safe computational framework that provides integer programming results with the degree of certainty that is required for machine-assisted proofs of mathematical theorems. At its core, the framework relies on a rational branch-and-bound certificate produced by an exact integer programming solver, SCIP, in order to circumvent floating-point round-off errors present in most state-of-the-art solvers for mixed-integer programs. The resulting certificates are self-contained and checker software exists that can verify their correctness independently of the integer programming solver used to produce the certificate. This acts as a safeguard against programming errors that may be present in complex solver software. The viability of this approach is tested by applying it to finite cases of Chvátal’s conjecture, a long-standing open question in extremal combinatorics. We take particular care to verify also the correctness of the input for this specific problem, using the Coq formal proof assistant. As a result, we are able to provide the first machine-assisted proof that Chvátal’s conjecture holds for all downsets whose union of sets contains seven elements or less.

Manic behavior and asymmetric right frontotemporal dementia from a novel progranulin mutation

Mario F Mendez1&ndash;3 1Department of Neurology, 2Department of Psychiatry &amp; Biobehavioral Sciences, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California at Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA; 3Neurology Service, VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System, Los Angeles, CA, USA Abstract: Studies suggest a relationship of manic behavior and bipolar disorder (BD) with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). The nature of this relationship is unclear. This report presents a patient with initial manic behavior as the main manifestation of familial bvFTD from a novel progranulin (GRN) mutation. In contrast, there are other reports of a long background of BD preceding a diagnosis of bvFTD. A review of the literature and this patient suggest that manic symptoms result from damage to right frontotemporal neural structures from longstanding BD, as well as from bvFTD and other focal neurological disorders. In addition, there is a subgroup of patients with a probable genetic predisposition to both BD and bvFTD. Keywords: frontotemporal dementia, mania, bipolar disorder, progranulin mutation

Glaucoma and lens subluxation in a crossbred Puli X Pumi dog: a case report

The Pumi is a rare sheep-herding terrier breed dog selected in Hungary from the Puli breed mixed with French and German herding dogs since the 17th century. The current case report described a 9.5 years old, cross-breed Puli/Pumi, male dog with clinical signs of glaucoma and intraocular inflammation accompanied by lens subluxation and no abnormal gonioscopic findings in the left eye. At the presentation, the dog appeared painful and blind in the left eye. Diagnose of glaucoma was made at the ophthalmological examination. Furthermore, glaucoma was suspected to be caused by a primary subluxation and vitreous debris. An intensive medical treatment was performed without considerable improve of eye condition, and disruption of ciliary body was finally performed through gentamicin injection. One week after surgery, there was a severe reduction of IOP in the left eye from the preoperative value of 50 mmHg to 9 mmHg. Persistent intraocular inflammation justified postoperative treatment with topical corticoids. So far there are no published reports of inherited ocular conditions in Pumi and in this crossbreed and/or the numbers of individuals for which examinations are recorded are too low to identify the presence of significant ocular disorders. Examinations are encouraged to accumulate information and reduce the likelihood of undetected conditions becoming problematic.

The Effects of Sampling Model on Inference with Coefficient Alpha

The distinction between Type I and Type 12 sampling in connection with measurement data is discussed, and a method is presented for simulating data arising from Type 12 sampling. Next, an empirical study is described in which the perfornance of inferential procedures for coefficient alpha was examined when these procedures were applied with data arising from both kinds of sampling. The results indicate that as long as the data are drawn from a population exhibiting strict essential parallelism among the conditions (an assumption underlying the procedures), the methods maintain precise confidence level control under Type 12 sampling. For data departing from essential parallelism, however, these procedures are not robust under Type 12 sampling. In contrast, actual confidence coefficient values were close to nominal levels under Type I sampling. Implications are noted for practice and for future research on inference with coefficient alpha.

Profiling the antioxidant potential of <i>Phylloporia pectinata</i> and HPLC analysis of its hot water extract

The presence of 19 polyphenolic compounds were evaluated through the mass spectrometric analysis of the hot water extracts of the poroid mushroom <i>Phylloporia pectinata</i> (Klotzsch) Ryvarden. Among these, Phelligridin D stood as the principle polyphenolic entity within the poroid mushroom under examination. The total phenolic content in <i>Phylloporia pectinata</i> was assessed, taking into account the tannin acid equivalents (TAE). To evaluate the antioxidant efficacy, various radical scavenging assays including hydroxyl, superoxide, and 2,2-diphenyl 1-1 picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) were considered using different solvent extracts prepared from the powdered basidiocarps. Maximum TAE (24.75 mg/g) were found in hot water (HW) extract, which was obtained for 1.5 h of extraction, significantly surpassing the results obtained from the ethanolic (1.66 mg/g) and methanolic (2.64 mg/g) extracts. The study was further reinforced by the remarkable antioxidant potential of the HW extract, evidenced by high hydroxyl radical scavenging activity (94.05%), superoxide radical scavenging activity (90.8%), and DPPH radical scavenging activity (76.2%) obtained for 1.5 h. This prominence was substantiated through high-performance liquid chromatography analysis (HPLC), underscoring its significant contribution towards the oxidative defence mechanism.

Decadent Returnees: The Dialogic Labor of Sensibility in Nagai Kafū’s Sneers and Ueda Bin’s The Vortex

In this chapter, we empirically apply theories of heterogeneity to narrative voice in the Japanese Decadent literature of the post-Russo-Japanese War period. Our purpose here is to shed new light on the role of complex socio-cultural sensibilities as a form of non-material labor, acknowledging those psychic effects as a significant contributor to Japanese Decadence. Drawing mainly on Mikhail Bakhtin's theory of heteroglossia, we will examine the process through which the self is constructed via interactions with heterogeneous others who share and differentiate socio-cultural beliefs. In so doing, we will extend our consideration to the issue of dilettantism through which the subject negotiates with multiple spectrums of ongoing cultural modernity. Within the framework of dialogic interaction, Japanese Decadents remained calm and self-reflexive, in contrast with the turbulent psychological agitation that fin-de-siècle European Decadents tended to evince. For Japanese Aesthetes of the epoch, "decadence" was a novelty as well as a new cultural platform, wherein they witnessed the decay of indigenous traditions and the rise of Japan's eclectic culture. In reality, their psychological dispositions were, generally in a positive sense, closer to those of dilettantes. With these perspectives in mind, we will focus on two stories considered to be seminal to the fiction of Japanese Decadence and kichōsha (returnee from the West) stories: Nagai Kafū's Reishō [Sneers] (1910) and Ueda Bin's Uzumaki [The Vortex] (1910).KeywordsAesthetic ExperienceDialogic InteractionMultiple SpectrumNarrative VoiceMeiji PeriodThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Consumers’ interest and willingness to pay for traceable vegetables- An empirical evidence from Bangladesh

Urban consumers’ concerns have focused attention on whether a food traceability system should be implemented in Bangladesh to minimize the production and distribution of unsafe and poor-quality food products. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 220 consumers in two main cities Dhaka and Mymensingh of Bangladesh to examine the traceability system in the vegetable supply chain from an ex-ante perspective. The objective is to identify the preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for the traceability attributes and examine the factors influencing their WTP for traceable vegetables. The results show that over 90% of the consumers put their emphasis on traceability attributes associated with: pesticides and last date of spraying information, fertilizer information, and harvest date. On the other hand, over 85% of consumers showed interest in GM information of vegetables. The mean WTP is found to be 5.84 Tk. (US$0.068) and 5.90 Tk. (US$0.069) per kg respectively for brinjal and tomatoes. This reflects a 19.5% and 19.7% additional monetary payment over and above the purchase price for conventional brinjal and tomatoes respectively. The empirical findings indicate that income and quality perception scores have positive and significant effects on consumer WTP for traceable brinjal and tomatoes.
