ABSTRACTThe abundance oflibA, encoding a hydrolase that initiates linuron degradation in the linuron-metabolizingVariovoraxsp. strain SRS16, was previously found to correlate well with linuron mineralization, but not in all tested environments. Recently, an alternative linuron hydrolase, HylA, was identified inVariovoraxsp. strain WDL1, a strain that initiates linuron degradation in a linuron-mineralizing commensal bacterial consortium. The discovery of alternative linuron hydrolases poses questions about the respective contribution and competitive character ofhylA- andlibA-carrying bacteria as well as the role of linuron-mineralizing consortia versus single strains in linuron-exposed settings. Therefore, dynamics ofhylAas well asdcaQas a marker for downstream catabolic functions involved in linuron mineralization, in response to linuron treatment in agricultural soil and on-farm biopurification systems (BPS), were compared with previously reportedlibAdynamics. The results suggest that (i) organisms containing eitherlibAorhylAcontribute simultaneously to linuron biodegradation in the same environment, albeit to various extents, (ii) environmental linuron mineralization depends on multispecies bacterial food webs, and (iii) initiation of linuron mineralization can be governed by currently unidentified enzymes.IMPORTANCEA limited set of different isofunctional catabolic gene functions is known for the bacterial degradation of the phenylurea herbicide linuron, but the role of this redundancy in linuron degradation in environmental settings is not known. In this study, the simultaneous involvement of bacteria carrying one of two isofunctional linuron hydrolysis genes in the degradation of linuron was shown in agricultural soil and on-farm biopurification systems, as was the involvement of other bacterial populations that mineralize the downstream metabolites of linuron hydrolysis. This study illustrates the importance of the synergistic metabolism of pesticides in environmental settings.

The article investigates the conceptual provisions of the theory of industrial crises of M. I. Tugan-Baranovsky, which marked the shift of emphasis from the analysis of exogenous factors to the in-depth study of on-farm phenomena of economic instability. Mechanisms and levels of pricing are revealed. The role of monetary instruments of market regulation and the influence of state monetary policy at the moment of transition from the “fake” recovery to the crisis are revealed. The “monetary version” of the phenomenon of the “price revolution” by M. I. Tugan-Baranovsky as a function of the transformation of the economic system is shown. The article traces the development of the views of Russian economists (at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries) on the problems of crises. The “conjunctural” theory of money of M. I. Tugan-Baranovsky is considered in the article as a logical conclusion of his theory of cyclic development of economy. The author concludes that the theory of industrial crises and the conjunctural theory of money of M. I. Tugan-Baranovsky characterize the national economy as a multi-level integrated economic system that combines micro-and macroeconomic processes.

Rural economies in many developing countries are characterized by a lean season in the months preceding harvest, when farmers have depleted their cash and grain savings from the previous year. To identify the impacts of liquidity during the lean season, we offered subsidized loans in randomly selected villages in rural Zambia. Ninety-eight percent of households took up the loan. Loan eligibility led to increases in on-farm labor and agricultural output, driving up wages in local labor markets. Larger effects for poorer households suggest that liquidity constraints contribute to inequality in rural economies. (JEL O13, O15, O18, Q11, Q12, R23)

This study attempts to analyze behavioral drivers which influence consumers’ leisure shopping behavior and measure customers’ value through empirical investigation in Mexico. The role of outsourced salespeople who act as sales promoters in stimulating arousal and satisfaction as behavioral drivers, which influence buying behavior of consumers and measures the extent of satisfaction, has been analyzed. Also, customer prospecting as direct marketing strategy through outsourced salespeople in swaying the leisure shopping and driving brand loyalty is discussed in the study.
