QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF BUTTON MUSHROOMS (AGARICUS BISPORUS) WITH RESPECT TO THE USAGE OF TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF MYCELIUM

Gljive Agaricus bisporus popularno nazvane šampinjoni najzastupljenije su gljive u pogledu proizvodnje na svjetskoj razini. Izgled gljiva dijelom ovisi o tehnologiji, ali prvenstveno i o karakteristikama micelija koji se upotrebljava za inokulaciju prilikom proizvodnje supstrata za proizvodnju šampinjona. U radu su analizirani rezultati dobiveni berbom gljiva tijekom tri vegetacijska ciklusa. Supstrati su bili inokulirani s dva različita tipa micelija U1 i 608. Tijekom istraživanja pratila su se dva parametra s obzirom na upotrebu različitih tipova micelija.; količina i krupnoća gljiva. Rezultati provedenoga istraživanja pokazuju da postoji određena razlika po pitanju prinosa i krupnoće ubranih gljiva, ali ne statistički značajna.Mashrooms Agaricus bisporus, popularly called button mushrooms, are most widespread mushrooms with respect to the production worldwide. The appearance partly depends on the technology, but primarily on the characteristics of the mycelium used for inoculation in preparing the substrate for mushroom production. The paper analyses results obtained from mushrooms gathered in three vegetation cycles. The substrates were inoculated with two different types of mycelium, U1 and 608. In the research two parameters were followed with respect to the usage of different types of mycelium, quantity and quality of mushrooms. The results of the research show that there is a definite difference in yield and size of gathered mushrooms but it is not statistically significant

Hydrogen Evolution on Pyrolytic Graphite

The hydrogen evolution reaction from acid solutions was studied on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite at different surfaces obtained by cutting graphite under the various angles in respect to the basal plane. The experiments were done galvanostatically on the polished samples of desired orientation, in a cell which enabled the pretreatment of graphite at 1000° C in argon and use of prepurified Na2S04 + H2S04 solutions. Tafel lines with 2 RT/F slopes were obtained in all the experiments with i 0 varying from ca 10-9A/cm2 for cleavage plane to ca 10-8A/cm~ for edge plane. The transients show the considerable pseudo-capacitances of 250--500 μF/cm2 being larger at more negative potentials and edge surfaces. The experimental data are consistent with the slow discharge - electrochemical desorption mechanism with the limited number of sites of H adsorption but also with the coupled discharge - recombination reaction for hydrogen evolution

Predicting attitudinal and behavioral responses to COVID-19 pandemic using machine learning

At the beginning of 2020, COVID-19 became a global problem. Despite all the efforts to emphasize the relevance of preventive measures, not everyone adhered to them. Thus, learning more about the characteristics determining attitudinal and behavioral responses to the pandemic is crucial to improving future interventions. In this study, we applied machine learning on the multi-national data collected by the International Collaboration on the Social and Moral Psychology of COVID-19 (N = 51,404) to test the predictive efficacy of constructs from social, moral, cognitive, and personality psychology, as well as socio-demographic factors, in the attitudinal and behavioral responses to the pandemic. The results point to several valuable insights. Internalized moral identity provided the most consistent predictive contribution—individuals perceiving moral traits as central to their self-concept reported higher adherence to preventive measures. Similar was found for morality as cooperation, symbolized moral identity, self-control, open-mindedness, collective narcissism, while the inverse relationship was evident for the endorsement of conspiracy theories. However, we also found a non-negligible variability in the explained variance and predictive contributions with respect to macro-level factors such as the pandemic stage or cultural region. Overall, the results underscore the importance of morality-related and contextual factors in understanding adherence to public health recommendations during the pandemic

National identity predicts public health support during a global pandemic

Changing collective behaviour and supporting non-pharmaceutical interventions is an important component in mitigating virus transmission during a pandemic. In a large international collaboration (Study 1, N = 49,968 across 67 countries), we investigated self-reported factors associated with public health behaviours (e.g., spatial distancing and stricter hygiene) and endorsed public policy interventions (e.g., closing bars and restaurants) during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic (April-May 2020). Respondents who reported identifying more strongly with their nation consistently reported greater engagement in public health behaviours and support for public health policies. Results were similar for representative and non-representative national samples. Study 2 (N = 42 countries) conceptually replicated the central finding using aggregate indices of national identity (obtained using the World Values Survey) and a measure of actual behaviour change during the pandemic (obtained from Google mobility reports). Higher levels of national identification prior to the pandemic predicted lower mobility during the early stage of the pandemic (r = −0.40). We discuss the potential implications of links between national identity, leadership, and public health for managing COVID-19 and future pandemics

Social and moral psychology of COVID-19 across 69 countries

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all domains of human life, including the economic and social fabric of societies. One of the central strategies for managing public health throughout the pandemic has been through persuasive messaging and collective behaviour change. To help scholars better understand the social and moral psychology behind public health behaviour, we present a dataset comprising of 51,404 individuals from 69 countries. This dataset was collected for the International Collaboration on Social & Moral Psychology of COVID-19 project (ICSMP COVID-19). This social science survey invited participants around the world to complete a series of moral and psychological measures and public health attitudes about COVID-19 during an early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic (between April and June 2020). The survey included seven broad categories of questions: COVID-19 beliefs and compliance behaviours; identity and social attitudes; ideology; health and well-being; moral beliefs and motivation; personality traits; and demographic variables. We report both raw and cleaned data, along with all survey materials, data visualisations, and psychometric evaluations of key variables
