Database Program

REGEN was developed by the National Forestry Database Program to report on forest regeneration activities and conditions on harvested lands. The underlying conceptual model clearly identifies the linkage between treatments (harvesting and silvicultural activities) and regeneration status, and characterizes the transitional nature of regeneration. The approach allows for the incorporation of updated information on the status of regenerating conditions as it becomes available from re-inventories and periodic assessments. Regeneration condition is described in terms of nine status classes which relate to the levels of stocking of commercial species and the degree of competition. These classes were designed to accommodate the variation in standards which occurs among jurisdictions. Five simplified regeneration classes are used for public reporting purposes. Key words: status of forest regeneration, harvesting, silvicultural activities

Crown Forest

The regenerating land base of Crown forest lands harvested under even-aged forest management systems since 1975 was about 14 million ha in 1995. Most harvested areas are regenerating successfully. Natural regeneration plays a much bigger role in Canadian forestry than planting or seeding. The area of forest land that remains understocked after harvesting is shrinking. The data presented were provided through the REGEN component of the National Forestry Database Program by the provincial and territorial agencies responsible for the management of forest resources in their jurisdictions.

Definition Of

This book explores the status of Chinese intellectuals from 1980 to 2005 and its diachronic change in this period, as represented by dialogues between intellectuals and their leaders in fiction. June 1989 serves as a historical dividing line on which to base this diachronic study. In order to carry out the study, first, the direct speech of intellectuals and their leaders is extracted and compiled into corpora for a ‘key key-words’ analysis (see section 3.3.2 for a definition of key key-words). Second, a stylistic analysis is undertaken with the aim of conducting a more detailed qualitative investigation of the dialogues. Three dialogues in each of the two periods are selected for the stylistic analysis. The key-words derived from this analysis describe features of the speech of intellectuals, the speech of intellectuals as compared to the speech of leaders and the speech of leaders as compared to that of intellectuals. The study shows that the key key-words indicating topics of the speech and those characterising the style of the speech represent the social identity of intellectuals. A comparison of these key keywords between the two periods uncovers the diachronic change in the status of intellectuals. The corpus approach is complemented by a stylistic analysis, which explores dialogues selected from different years to emphasise the diachronic change. A dual model is formulated to incorporate dialogue analysis into a larger structure of goal development analysis. The study shows how speakers use discursive strategies to manage relationships and have their situational goals achieved in interaction. Negotiation of goals invokes the institutional and social identities of speakers, bringing out their status. The research shows that the corpus approach and the stylistic analysis can be combined to present a more comprehensive description of data. It is hoped that this will shed some light on studies of post-Cultural Revolution Chinese intellectuals and on how quantitative and qualitative approaches merge in the investigation of interaction between superiors and subordinates.

The Status

What is the status of claims about the effects of minimum wage laws? Empirical or praxeological? We claim the latter. How can the effect of such legislation be best analyzed under the assumption of mis-behaving supply (backward bending) and demand (positively sloped, based on positing Giffen goods) curves? In the usual manner: resource misallocation still occurs. But this is only arguendo. More radically, such curves are themselves problematic. Even more radically, this, too, applies to «well behaved» supply and demand curves as well. Key words: Backward Bending Supply Curves, Price Controls, Praxeology, Giffen Goods, Logical Positivism. JEL Classification: D0. Resumen: ¿Cuál es el status del análisis sobre los efectos de las leyes de salario mínimo? ¿Empírico o praxeológico? Nosotros defendemos lo se gundo. ¿Pueden analizarse mejor los efectos de dichas leyes suponiendo curvas de oferta y demanda anómalas (como las de los bienes Giffen)? Como en el  nálisis tradicional se produce una mala asignación de recursos. En todo caso, tanto tales curvas, como las tradicionales son muy problemáticas. Palabras clave: Control de precios, praxeología, bienes de Giffen, positivismo lógico. Clasificación JEL: D0.

PurposeThis paper explores the reasons behind the slow uptake of mobile payment (m-payment) from a switching intention (SI) perspective. The antecedents of SI from cash to m-payment were explored using an integrated conceptual model of the push-pull-mooring (PPM) framework and the status quo bias (SQB) perspective.Design/methodology/approachA self-administered survey was used to collect data, which are empirically tested using SmartPLS 3.0.FindingsThe push factor was found to have an insignificant effect on SI to m-payment whereas the pull factor was significant. Furthermore, the results revealed that the two mooring variables have contrasting results as trust is not a significant determinant of SI to m-payment while perceived security and privacy (PSP) is. Additionally, all SQB-related relationships were found to be statistically significantOriginality/valueThis study determined the factors that play vital roles in the consumers' decision-making to transition from cash to m-payment. This was done via a uniquely developed conceptual model that incorporated the PPM framework with the SQB perspective.

<strong>Phylogeny of Sea Cucumbers (Holothuroidea: Stichopodidae) Based on Morphological Characteristics.</strong> Identifiers in the class of sea cucumber (Holothuroidea, Echinodermata) constitute the external morphology, internal organs, and spicules. These characteristics may indicate a high level of similarity for particular families, including family Stichopodidae. This family is one of the Holothuroidea (Echinodermata) that represents the majority of commercial species found widespread in the tropical shallow waters. Until now, the evolution of sea cucumber based on morphological characteristics used to determine the status of the characteristics applicable to the phylogeny analysis is still under debate. In fact, research on the phylogeny of Stichopodidae, has not been done yet. This paper reports the phylogeny study of Stichopodidae species in Indonesia to determine the closeness among its species. Specimens used in this study were the collection of Research Center for Oceanography LIPI consisting of nine species of Stichopodidae (as ingroup) and two species of Holothuriidae (as outgroup). The construction of phylogeny tree was done by applying the maximum parsimony method and PAUP 4.0b program using 78 morphological characteristics. It resulted in two phylogeny trees separating consistently the genus Stichopus from the genus Thelenota (bootstrap 99% and 100%) with the stable position in each genus. Both these genera of Stichopodidae have the same number of synapomorphs. Stichopus has ten homoplastic characteristics among its species, while Thelenota does not have any. Six of the nine species of Stichopodidae show autapomorph characteristics which are proper to species level<br />

The article presents the solution of the scientific problem of improving the educational and scientific training of graduate students of the Border Guard Service of Ukraine. The problem of formation of research competence of graduate students in the process of teaching the discipline “Theory and methods of scientific argumentation” is analysed. The purpose of the article is to generalize the formation of research competence of associate professors in the teaching of the discipline “Theory and methods of scientific argumentation”. For this purpose, a number of scientific works on the topic of research authored by domestic and foreign scientists are analysed. The specifics of educational and scientific training of these specialists are revealed. The content and features of the discipline “Theory and methods of scientific argumentation” are analysed. A description of the research competence of graduate students is given. The author described the essence and content of competence: the ability to identify and justify current scientific problems, as well as to compile these problems for selected research, to carry out scientific procedures of analysis, synthesis, comparison, abstraction and others, to implement the results and formulate necessary scientific conclusions and recommendations. Difficulties in teaching the discipline “Theory and Methods of Scientific Argumentation” to adjuncts are identified: the first group of problems should include those due to the specifics of the system of higher military education in Ukraine: lack of systematic presentation of logical knowledge at the cadet level; reduction or elimination of classroom hours for teaching logic; humiliation of the status of logic in the system of humanitarian education; the second group of problems is related to the definition of the content of the discipline “Theory and Methods of Scientific Argumentation” for graduate students: lack of cooperation with teachers of the discipline “Theory and Methods of Scientific Argumentation” and special disciplines of graduate students; lack of content of the discipline “Theory and methods of scientific argumentation” for associate professors. The conclusions of the research and prospects for further research are formulated. Key words: graduate students; research competence; educational and scientific training; theory and methods of scientific argumentation; teaching, formation.
