Abstract:

This article is designed to explain, emphasizing, the notion of university language education, as well as the importance of university education in the life of university education, in the life of the intellectual society, which is always in the process of development. This analysis is based on several sources. One, and the most important point, is the concept of „linguistic variety” – an essential and fundamental factor, in fact, in plurilingual education. Thus, the central role of the student is investigated, as well as the major role of the teacher in the plurilingual education, which is based on the linguistic variety.

Abstract:

Abstract In light of growing corporate influence in the business world and thus increasing further need to improve framework of corporate governance for shareholders’ protection, diversity is examined as a necessary factor to enhance monitoring and leadership functions of board of directors. This article analyses empirical studies with samples on various countries in order to examine effect of board composition and diversity on primary responsibilities of Board of Directors. Author is providing theoretical overview of diversity benefits and practical perspective of gender, qualifications, and background diversity in board performance. Our results show an added value of gender diversity to company performance in social and healthcare industries. Furthermore, author shows a rather negative effect of gender quotas. This study sheds a light on empirical researches and a need to include additional cultural factors called country readiness factors.

Abstract:

<p style="text-align: justify;">The current research aims to analyze art teaching as an inclusive factor and pays attention to diversity in excluded populations to meet the needs of students in the pandemic context. In regard to methodology, we used the naturalistic paradigm, a qualitative approach, and an inductive method with a phenomenological and hermeneutical design. The data collection techniques we used were semi-structured interviews with teachers of the Regular Basic Education in Peru. The findings show that through the mediation of diverse artistic languages and the implementation of different didactic strategies, it is possible to achieve an interaction free from exclusion barriers, driven by good teaching practices that enable the inclusion and attention to the diversity of students, providing them with opportunities to develop capacities and skills to establish better coexistence. We concluded that art education comprises a lasting learning process that guarantees a healthy environment for peaceful coexistence, which today, inclusive teachers, parents, and students should keep in mind.</p>

Abstract:

Significance Urbanization and agglomeration of economic activity are key drivers of economic development. Many factors underlying city sizes and locations continue to be well studied. However, a key factor has so far been generally ignored: the role of the ethnolinguistic composition of local populations. We address this gap, drawing on a very detailed dataset on local urban agglomeration and ethnolinguistic diversity. We find that, in multiethnic areas, social tensions arise more easily, discouraging the move to bigger cities. Ethnolinguistically diverse regions feature less urbanization and agglomeration, with potentially profound economic consequences.

Abstract:

<p>One of the objectives of credit is to move the wheels of the regional economy. Especially for the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) trade and micro sector, which is now booming because it can improve the household economy. Various financial institutions offer various types of loans with attractive facilities and according to the needs of the target market. Therefore, today's society is demanded to be smart in accessing credit at bank financial institutions. Including the People's Credit Bank (BPR) Kota Kediri which also competes in offering loans that are in accordance with the wishes of the people in the Kediri region and its surroundings. The sample used in this study amounted to 97 customers. This study uses a quantitative approach with factor analysis techniques using principal component analysis (PCA). The result is that there are six groups of factors that influence customers in taking credit with a cumulative diversity value of 59,671. Factor I consists of variations in time period, loan nominal and service has an eigenvalue of 2.935 and total diversity value of 18.343%. Factor II consisted of reasons for interest rates, repayment deductions and requirements having an eigenvalue of 1.590 and a total diversity of 9.936%. Factor III consisted of variations in interest rates and flexible time periods having eigenvalues of 1.552 and total diversity of 9.701%. Factor IV consists of a credit process and the service schedule has an eigenvalue of 1.2282 and a total diversity of 8.014. Factor V consists of loans as needed and flexible guarantees have an eigen value of 1.165 and a total diversity of 7.284.

Abstract:

This study identified what factors the audience considers when choosing to visit the EDM festival, and analyzed which selection factors affect satisfaction and behavioral intentions. To this end, a survey was conducted with 317 people who had visited EDM festivals. As a result of the analysis, the audience's choice of EDM festivals were identified as 9 factors (sense of unity factor, sociability factor, service factor, information and accessibility factor, DJ's performance factor, reputation and recognition factor, alcohol price and diversity factor, promotion factor, ticket factor). However, among these EDM festival selection factors, only the sense of unity factor, DJ performance factor, alcoholic beverage price and diversity factor were found to have a significant positive (+) effect on satisfaction and behavioral intention. In particular, it was found that the sense of unity factor related to social interaction, which is a characteristic of EDM festivals, has the greatest influence on the satisfaction and behavioral intention of the audience. The results of this study will be able to provide practical implications for EDM festival planning and marketing.

Abstract:

Forest productivity (FP) depends not only on tree species diversity but also on functional traits, stand structure, and environmental factors; however, causation and relative importance remain controversial. The effects of tree species diversity (species richness), trait community-weighted mean (CWM), forest structure (forest density and maximum DBH), and environmental factors (soil nutrients and elevation) on larch (Larix principis-rupprechtii Mayr) forests’ productivity were investigated, and the relative importance of each factor in determining productivity was quantified. Our results showed that stand structure and functional traits had significant positive effects on the basal area increment (BAI) of larch stands (p < 0.05) and were more important than tree diversity and environmental factors in explaining BAI variations. The contribution ratio of each influencing factor was as follows: stand structure (59%), functional composition (30%), environmental factors (9%), and species diversity (SD) (2%). The biomass ratio hypothesis was more important than the niche complementarity hypothesis in explaining the relationship between species diversity and productivity. The structural equation model showed that environmental factors did not directly affect the BAI in larch forests but indirectly affected the BAI through tree diversity and stand structure. Therefore, in larch forests with low species richness, it is more important to adjust stand structure to maintain overyielding while also considering the influence of environmental factors.

Abstract:

Knowledge of the genetic diversity is important to design appropriate selection criteria in the breeding programs. In this study, the genetic diversity of 42 Iranian and European barley cultivars was investigated with morpho-agronomic traits including phenological, physiological, morphological traits, grain yield and associated traits. Analysis of variance showed high variability among cultivars. The European cultivars Panaka, Aiace and Pariglia had the highest grain yield. The results of group comparisons indicated that the European cultivars produced higher grain yield (500.57 g/m2) than the Iranian cultivars (445.50 g/m2), but larger genetic diversity based on morpho-agronomic traits was observed among Iranian cultivars than European cultivars. Correlation analysis revealed the high significant correlations between grain yield with biological yield (0.92), straw yield (0.77), and number of spike per square meter (0.67). Based on the factor analysis, the six factors that justified 81.63 percent of the variations were identified. The first factor having the largest eigenvalue was identified as effective factor on the vegetative and reproductive growth. In path analysis, biological yield had the greatest effect on grain yield (0.906). Cluster analysis classified the cultivars in six groups and showed that genetic variation based on the all studied traits among the barley cultivars was not related to geographical location.

Abstract:

Lack of diversity, and specifically, gender diversity, is one of the key problems that both technological companies and academia are facing these days. Moreover, recent studies show that the number of female students enrolled in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) related disciplines have been decreasing in the last twenty years, while the number of women resigning from technological job positions remains unacceptably high. As members of a higher education institution, we foresee that working towards increasing and retaining the number of female students enrolled in STEM disciplines can help to alleviate part of the challenges faced by women in STEM fields. In this paper, we first review the main barriers and challenges that women encounter in their professional STEM careers through different age stages. Next, we focus on the special case of the information theory field, discussing the potential of gendered innovation, and whether it can be applied in the Information Theory case. The working program developed by the School of Engineering at the University of Valencia (ETSE-UV), Spain, which aims at decreasing the gender diversity gap, is then presented and recommendations for practice are given. This program started in 2011 and it encompasses Bachelor, Master and PhD levels. Four main actions are implemented: Providing institutional encouragement and support, increasing the professional support network, promoting and supporting the leadership, and increasing the visibility of female role models. To assess the impact of these actions, a chi-square test of independence is included to evaluate whether there is a significant effect on the percentage of enrolled female students. The percentage of graduated female students in the information and Communications Technology Field is also positioned with respect to other universities and the Spanish reference value. This analysis establishes that, in part, this program has helped to achieve higher female graduation rates, especially among Bachelor students, as well as increasing the number of top-decision positions held by faculty women.

Abstract:

The greatest diversity of eukaryotic species is within the microbial eukaryotes, the protists, with plants and fungi/metazoa representing just two of the estimated seventy five lineages of eukaryotes. Protists are a diverse group characterized by unusual genome features and a wide range of genome sizes from 8.2 Mb in the apicomplexan parasiteBabesia bovisto 112,000-220,050 Mb in the dinoflagellateProrocentrum micans. Protists possess numerous cellular, molecular and biochemical traits not observed in “text-book” model organisms. These features challenge some of the concepts and assumptions about the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes. Like multicellular eukaryotes, many protists encode multiple eIF4Es, but few functional studies have been undertaken except in parasitic species. An earlier phylogenetic analysis of protist eIF4Es indicated that they cannot be grouped within the three classes that describe eIF4E family members from multicellular organisms. Many more protist sequences are now available from which three clades can be recognized that are distinct from the plant/fungi/metazoan classes. Understanding of the protist eIF4Es will be facilitated as more sequences become available particularly for the under-represented opisthokonts and amoebozoa. Similarly, a better understanding of eIF4Es within each clade will develop as more functional studies of protist eIF4Es are completed.

Abstract:

As an essential step towards computer creativity, automatic poetry generation has gained increasing attention these years. Though recent neural models make prominent progress in some criteria of poetry quality, generated poems still suffer from the problem of poor diversity. Related literature researches show that different factors, such as life experience, historical background, etc., would influence composition styles of poets, which considerably contributes to the high diversity of human-authored poetry. Inspired by this, we propose MixPoet, a novel model that absorbs multiple factors to create various styles and promote diversity. Based on a semi-supervised variational autoencoder, our model disentangles the latent space into some subspaces, with each conditioned on one influence factor by adversarial training. In this way, the model learns a controllable latent variable to capture and mix generalized factor-related properties. Different factor mixtures lead to diverse styles and hence further differentiate generated poems from each other. Experiment results on Chinese poetry demonstrate that MixPoet improves both diversity and quality against three state-of-the-art models.

Abstract:

10562 Background: Lymphopenia (<1 Giga/L) before initiation of chemotherapy is a predictive factor for toxicity and death in metastatic phase for cancer patients. Combinatorial diversity of T Cell Receptor beta chain (TCR-ß), as a measure of T cell repertoire diversity, was investigated and tested either alone or in combination with lymphopenia as a prognostic factor for overall survival (OS) in first line treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. Methods: Using semi quantitative multiplex PCR, the V-D-J combinatorial diversity of the TCR was measured on cryo-preserved blood samples from 2 cohorts of MBC patients before the initiation of the first line chemotherapy: in an experimental cohort (cohort A, n=66) and in a validation series (cohort B, n=67). A prognostic score, defined NDL (Number & Diversity of Lymphocytes) combining lymphocyte count and TCR diversity was delineated. Univariate and multivariate analysis of prognostic factors for OS were performed in both cohorts. Results: Lymphopenia (<1 Giga/L) was associated with shorter OS for cohort B while TCR diversity ≤33% (called divpenia) was associated with a reduced OS in cohort A. The combination of lymphopenia with low TCR diversity (called lympho-divpenia) was associated with poor OS compared to patients with either lymphocyte count ≥1 Giga/L or diversity >33% or both, in cohort A (median OS: 7.6 vs 24.5 months, p.value =0.0006) and cohort B (median OS 10.6 vs 22.9 months, p.value =0.0035). In a multivariate analysis, including all significant clinical factors from the univariate analysis (PS, liver metastasis, hemoglobin) lympho-divpenia was found to be an independent prognostic factor in the pooled cohort (A+B) (p=0.005) along with triple negative tumors (p=0.011) and hemoglobin level (11.5 g/dL) (p=0.009). Conclusions: NDL score combining lymphopenia and reduced TCR diversity seems to be a strong prognostic factor for OS and could be use to improve care quality of MBC patients.

Abstract:

We develop a competitive model of trade between countries with similar aggregate factor endowments. The trade pattern reflects differences in the distribution of talent across the labor forces of the two countries. The country with a relatively homogeneous population exports the good produced by a technology with complementarities between tasks. The country with a more diverse workforce exports the good for which individual success is more important. Imperfect observability of talent strengthens the forces of comparative advantage. Finally, we examine the effects of trade on income distribution and the composition of firms in each industry. (JEL F11, D51)

Abstract:

Copper mining has resulted in severe damage to the ecological environment of mining areas. This study investigated heavy metal distribution in plants and compared the driving factors between aboveground and subsurface microorganisms, as well as the diversity in rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil microbial community response to heavy metal transfer factors in a copper tailings dam. We analyzed phyllosphere and soil microbial community using high-throughput sequencing and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, respectively. Although we detected chromium in aboveground and subsurface of Bothriochloa ischaemum specimens, no chromium was detected in soil. Total nitrogen was negatively correlated to the carbon and nitrogen ratios of plants and soil, respectively, while the total sulfur was negatively correlated to cadmium in roots. On the contrary, soil sulfur was positively correlated to cadmium in soil. Moreover, soil sulphur was the main influencing factor on the soil bacterial community, while ammonium nitrogen, total nitrogen, and zinc were the driving factors of fungi diversity in non-rhizosphere soil. Fungi diversity in the rhizosphere was significantly correlated to phosphatase, and fungi diversity in the non-rhizosphere was significantly correlated to sucrose enzymes. The transfer factor of lead was negatively correlated to rhizosphere fungi diversity, and the transfer factor of copper was significantly correlated to non-rhizosphere bacterial diversity. Results from this study may offer some scientific reference for the improvement of plant-microbe remediation efficiency. At the same time, this study could provide an ecological basis for further studies on soil ecosystem restoration and degradation mechanisms that are associated with copper tailings dams.

Abstract:

Purpose The aspects of global citizenship, education and diversity are framing a paradigm that encapsulates how education can develop the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes of learners needed for securing a world which is more just, peaceful, tolerant, inclusive, secure and sustainable. The determination of students’ attitudes toward global citizenship education and diversity is a phenomenal issue of the past several decades. This study aims to develop an attitude scale to quantify the attitudes of students, the content of courses and instructors toward global citizenship education and diversity. Design/methodology/approach In this study, the factor structure and internal consistency of “Global Citizenship Education and Diversity Scale” (GCEDS) were analyzed, and validity and reliability of the scale were assessed. Two sample groups of participants were used in the assessment of the scale. The first sample group (exploratory factor analysis group) was composed of 147, and the second group (confirmatory factor analysis [CFA] group) was composed of 257 undergraduate students from three different large public universities in Turkey. Findings CFA confirmed the structure that emerged in the explanatory factor analysis. In this context, “GCEDS” is a valid and reliable scale.

Abstract:

The main purpose of this study was to identify what factors restrict campus recreation departments from performing diversity/multicultural training. This study addressed the lack of research on diversity/multicultural training programs within campus recreation departments and examined the relationship between type of institution, department size, and the number and types of diversity/multicultural training programs offered in an academic year. Of the 210 campus recreation departments surveyed, 52% indicated they did not have enough time to give the necessary attention to diversity/multicultural training and any related strategies and initiatives. Of the 108 institutions that offer diversity/multicultural training, limited staff (47%), limited expertise/knowledge (46%), and other constraints (41%) hindered their ability to carry out effective diversity/multicultural training. By identifying diversity/multicultural training as a priority, campus recreation administrators could focus on what they are capable of providing given their department's staff, resources, budget, and knowledge of diversity/multicultural training programs.

Abstract:

Shrub layer diversity is an essential component of the forest ecosystem diversity, that contributes significantly to structuring the community and maintaining diversity, especially in plantation forests. In previous studies, researchers have reported the strong relationship among various factors (i.e., soil composition, mean annual temperature, etc.) and shrub diversity. However, how these factors jointly influence shrub diversity and which factors could be considered the key factors is still unknown. In this study, we attempted to quantify the effect among environmental factors, soil factors and forest stand factors on shrub diversity. Twenty-seven variables were selected from 57 Chinese pine plantation plots in Huanglong Mountain, Yanan City, Shaanxi Province, China. The path models showed that latent variable of soil properties is the main effective factor of latent variable of shrub diversity (directly effect, path coefficient = 0.344) and the latent variable of site conditions is another effective factor of latent variable of shrub diversity (indirectly effect, path coefficient = 0.177); Besides, the latent variable of site conditions and forest properties directly affect the latent variable of soil properties (path coefficient = 0.514 and 0.326, respectively). Among the latent variable of soil properties, soil water content (SWC) has the biggest weight of 0.666, which indicated the most significant contribution of SWC to latent variables of shrub diversity. Total nitrogen, weighted 0.375, and total phosphorus, weighted 0.308, are also important factors and make a similar contribution to latent variable of shrub diversity. Soil organic matter (SOM) has a minimal impact (lowest weight, 0.059); among the objective variables of site condition, altitude contributes the most and is followed by litter thickness, weighted at 0.722 and 0.448, respectively. Furthermore, among all the variables affecting the latent variable of forest properties, forest age is recognized as the maximum impactor of soil property change, which weighted −0.941; and is followed by forest stock volume and diameter at breast height (DBH), weighted 0.795 and 0.788, respectively. The crowding index (C) has the lowest weight (−0.235) and demonstrated that spatial distribution and crowding of trees have minimal impact on the latent variable of Soil properties. diversity Overall, our study provides new insights into quantifying the relationships among different driving factors that potentially play a significant role in determining shrub layer diversity within the plantation forest.

Abstract:

Recognizing regional economic resilience and its influencing factors under different shocks is necessary to promote stable regional economic development. The article analyzes the regional economic resilience of 31 Chinese provinces under three kinds of shocks, namely, financial crisis, economic downturn, and COVID-19, in terms of the resistance of regional economies to shocks, and examines spatial distribution and main influencing factors. The results of the study found that: (1) The characteristics of regional economic resilience under different shocks are different. During the financial crisis, the strong resilient provinces are distributed in the central and western and northern regions; during the economic downturn, the strong resilient provinces are mainly distributed in the western and central regions; during COVID-19, the strong resilient provinces are mainly distributed in the western and eastern coastal regions. The economic resilience of each province shows significant “high-high” and “low-low” spatial clustering characteristics during the economic downturn and the COVID-19. (2) The main influencing factors of economic resilience in different shocks are different. In the financial crisis, the magnitude of the contribution of the influencing factor is leading industry (0.283) > related diversity (0.197) > foreign trade dependence (0.190); during the economic downturn, the magnitude of the contribution of the influencing factor is population density (0.464) > leading industry (0.427) > related diversity (0.285); the magnitude of the contribution of the impact factor during the COVID-19 was related diversity (0.282) > unrelated diversity (0.274) > leading industry (0.272). (3) In the interaction of impact factors, the strongest explanatory power is found in related diversity, unrelated diversity, and leading industries, which represent the industrial structure. Therefore, there is a need to adjust the industrial structure and improve the regional economic resilience from the shock itself.

Abstract:

Tree mortality because of beetle outbreaks has become substantial and widespread in conifer forests in western North America. A number of environmental and physiological factors influence patterns of mortality. Tree diversity may reduce the severity and extent of insect damage to host trees by providing associational resistance, but the existence and importance of associational resistance varies by forest type and by tree and insect species. We assessed whether plot-level tree diversity contributed to survival of Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii Parry ex Engelm.) following a spruce beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis Kirby) epidemic. Our study plots comprised 2 to 5 tree species including Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa (Hook) Nutt.), Douglas-fir (Pseudostuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.), and white fir (Abies concolor (Gordon & Glend.) Hildebr.). We used a model-selection analysis to compare the importance of tree diversity with other known factors that influence spruce survival. We found lower rates of spruce survival in stands where spruce was the dominant tree species (by percent of stand density index) and higher survival in stands where nonspruce conifers (Douglas-fir, subalpine, and white fir) were dominant. We also found that tree diversity (Shannon index) did not show a positive correlation to spruce survival and that there was no additional benefit derived from the presence of aspen, which has higher phylogenetic distance from Engelmann spruce than the other trees in this study. The relationship between diversity and survival is complicated by factors that naturally co-vary with diversity, such as elevation, aspect, and stand density of spruce. Our results best support an explanation that if associational resistance does increase spruce survival during a beetle epidemic, it is due to host or resource dilution, which may be an indirect effect of higher stand diversity.

Abstract:

Abstract The chemokine stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), which is constitutively expressed in most tissues as SDF-1α and SDF-1β resulting from alternative gene splicing, regulates hematopoiesis, lymphocyte homing, B-lineage cell growth, and angiogenesis. Because SDF-1α and SDF-1β are constitutively and ubiquitously expressed, their degradation must serve an important regulatory role. Here we show that SDF-1α and SDF-1β are secreted as full-length molecules. When exposed to human serum, full-length SDF-1α (1-68) undergoes processing first at the COOH terminus to produce SDF-1α 1-67 and then at the NH2 terminus to produce SDF-1α 3-67. By contrast, full-length SDF-1β (1-72) is processed only at the NH2 terminus to produce SDF-1β 3-72. CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase is responsible for serum cleavage of SDF-1α and SDF-1β at the NH2 terminus. Serum processing of SDF-1α at the COOH terminus, which has not been previously reported, reduces the ability of the polypeptide to bind to heparin and to cells and to stimulate B-cell proliferation and chemotaxis. The additional processing at the NH2 terminus renders both forms of SDF-1 unable to bind to heparin and to activate cells. The differential processing of SDF-1α and SDF-1β provides biologic significance to the existence of 2 splice forms of the chemokine and adds a tool to precisely regulate SDF-1's biologic activity by changes in specific activity.

Abstract:

Abstract This study described how DEI officers across universities/colleges currently think about AGE as a diversity factor; and identified strategies used to increase age-inclusivity. Data were generated through review of university websites, focus groups and one-to-one interviews with DEI staff. Findings suggest that age is acknowledged as a diversity factor but there is less action toward strategies to increase age-inclusion. Examples of initiatives include: training human resource staff to be age-neutral in hiring; eliminating birthdates and other years from applications; workshops on multigenerational workplaces and classrooms; presentations on ageism; and specific programs to support non-traditionally aged students. Some of the motivation to address ageism stems from legal mandates rather than being mission-driven. There is the concern that focusing more on age may require moving attention and resources away from other diversity factors. It appears that there is interest in elevating age as an important factor in DEI efforts.
