The Chamber for Studying Rice Response to Elevated Nighttime Temperature in Field by Song Chen, Xi Zheng, Dangying Wang, Chunmei Xu, Ma. Rebecca C. Laza, Xiufu Zhang

“…A slight variation in CO2 concentration was observed at the end of the treatment during the day, but the 10-μmol CO2 mol−1 difference was too small to alter plant response. The present utilitarian system, which only utilizes an air conditioner/heater, is suitable for studying the effect of nighttime temperature on plant physiological responses with minimal perturbation of other environmental factors. …”

ABOUT BARRIERS ON THE WAY OF REVIVAL OF THE RUSSIAN EDUCATION by V. I. Zagvyazinsky

“…The most essential obstacles preventing full, positive work of comprehensive school are revealed: distinction of free secondary  education; subordination of educational process to the utilitarian purposes of preparation for Unified State Examination for entering a higher education institution; a hypertrophy of knowledgeable indicators and underestimation of education for achievement by pupils of a social maturity as an important purpose and criterion of success of educational activities; orientation to complete individualization (computerization) of education; subordination of reforming of educational system mainly to interests of its management; excessive overload of school teachers and unification of educational institutions leading to attenuation of creative activity of teachers and pedagogical staff. …”

Kořeny teorie spravedlivé války: od Platóna ke Grotiovi by Jiří Hutečka

“…Then, with little pause made for Roman “utilitarian turn” in the just war thinking, the text focuses its attention at Christian attitudes towards warfare, their efforts to accommodate it in their system of beliefs (as with Tertullian, Origen, or Ambrose), and their success in creating a suitable just war theory based on ideas of former ancient authors as well as on Christian teachings (as with St. …”

Formation of the Educational Trajectory: Educational Motives and Choices in the Narratives of Students from Moscow Leading Universities by A. V. Noskova, D. V. Goloukhova, E. I. Kuzmina

“…In the informants’ narratives, choosing a university is described as a complex, multimotivated action, in which the motives of prestige, self-development, as well as social and utilitarian motives are highlighted. Educational choices related to keeping or changing the educational trajectory are determined by the desire to avoid risks and having a high level of satisfaction with studies in the case of linear trajectories and the desire  to  gain  new  educational  experience,  obtaining  competencies  that  go  beyond  the  scope of the specialty being studied, as well as environmental factors of the university in the case of non-linear tracks.It is shown that a qualitative research strategy allows the researchers to look at reflected educational choices from the perspective of their semantic content, which is especially in demand due to the growing trend towards individualization of the educational process. …”

Messaging with appeal to intrinsic or relational values shows potential to shift demand for wildlife as pets by Harry Marshall, Nigel J. Collar, Alexander C. Lees, Andrew Moss, Pramana Yuda, Stuart J. Marsden

“…Our results suggest that appealing to people's concern over the intrinsic value of wildlife or the relational value of cultural heritage might be more effective at shifting demand for wildlife products than more instrumental or utilitarian considerations. Effective messaging should focus on the negative impacts of over‐exploitation on Indonesia's wildlife and/or national heritage, and on the positive aspects of sustainable captive‐bred alternatives, and be transmitted via multiple media, including local and faith leaders (choice varying geographically), to maximise outreach to the diverse bird‐keeping community. …”

L’emploi antique des géomatériaux à Reims/Durocortorum by Gilles Fronteau, Sébastien Laratte, Alain Devos, Claire Pichard

“…Rural peri-urban buildings exhibit almost exclusive use of perishable materials, such as cob and mud bricks or mud tiles, but also relatively abundant use of stone for tools, material goods or larger architectural elements. The utilitarian architectural programs, or those dedicated to the day-to-day life of the city and its surroundings, are marked by a selection of materials requiring specific qualities: relative to water for the aqueduct, or their resistance to the underground environment for the cryptoportici bases. …”

Activités artisanales sur la rive droite de la Vesle à Reims/Durocortorum by Émilie Jouhet, Michaël Brunet, Pierre Mathelart, Véronique Matterne

“…Finally, a few characteristic clay or iron objects (such as tongs) also reinforce the hypothesis of a forge located on site or, are at least bolster the presence of a relationship to utilitarian and artisanal activities. In the absence of roughing, finished products, or manufacturing failures on site, it remains impossible to identify the precise type of production intended for the metal work. …”
