Contractual claims are essential issues and normally disputed because they cause losses if the contractual claims fail to be honoured. The completion of projects can be best without any arising contractual claims by the contractors. However, this appears to be too ideal and almost impossible. Contractual claims have connotations of time and monies, which are to be honoured by the client to the contractor as a payment or compensation for the incurred cost. This article established the success rate or extent to which contractual claims were honoured and the implications of the client’s decisions on contractual claims that were not honoured. The questionnaire was distributed to professionals involved in the administration of contractual claims in projects. Descriptive analysis was used to analyse data. Findings revealed that most contractual claims were honoured in full when they were small in numbers, and when contractual claims increase, the success rate also decreased. The findings further indicated that most projects ended in cost and time overruns due to clients’ decisions on contractual claims. It is expected that the findings of this research will help construction stakeholders to avoid the main causes of contractual claims, and thus increasing the chances of contractual claims being honoured and improving the overall performance of construction projects concerning minimized delays and cost overruns.
Calculation and Influencing Factors of Carbon Emissions in Countries along the Belt and Road Based on the LMDI Method
Authors: Cui Jingyuan , Wu Yumeng
Published: September 2022

In order to study the carbon emissions of countries along the Belt and Road and its influencing factors, this paper calculates the energy carbon emissions of six major regions from 2013 to 2020 from the national level based on the LMDI index decomposition method and divides the driving factors into population, economy, industrial structure, energy intensity and carbon emission intensity, analyzing the contribution rate of each factor and regional differences. The results show that the carbon emissions of countries along the Belt and Road have shown an overall upward trend at present. The main influencing factors are economy and industrial structure, as well as reducing energy consumption intensity has also contributed more to the suppression of carbon emissions. Population and carbon emission intensity vary slightly by region. Therefore, governments should guide reasonable population growth, formulate reasonable carbon emission reduction policies according to local conditions, optimize the energy structure and accelerate the establishment of carbon markets.
Analysis of changes and trends in ambient air pollutant concentrations in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in recent years
Authors: Yu Guanqi
Published: September 2022

The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is a key prevention and control area for air pollution in China. Based on the PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2 and AQI data published by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the online monitoring and analysis platform of air quality, the temporal variation of air pollutant concentrations in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region from 2019 to 2021 and the contribution of each pollutant to air pollution were analyzed by the comprehensive pollution index method and the pollution load factor method. The results show that: (1) The changes in the comprehensive air pollution index and AQI index in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region from 2019 to 2021 show a downward trend. Compared with the annual average concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, SO2 and NO2 in 2019, the average concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, SO2 and NO2 decreased by 23.72%, 19.28%, 34.28% and 24.03%, respectively. (2) The monthly average change of the concentration of various pollutants in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region from 2019 to 2021 shows a roughly shaped “U”, following the governing rule of "high in winter and low in summer, rising in autumn and falling in spring". (3) The average pollution load coefficients of four pollutants in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, including PM2.5, PM10, SO2 and NO2, were 38.18%, 31.64%, 3.84% and 26.34% from 2019 to 2021, respectively. It indicates that the ambient air quality in this area is greatly affected by particulate matter pollution.

Published: September 2022

Environmental problems including nitrogen pollution, heavy metal pollution, and the air’s sulfur pollution are becoming increasingly serious nowadays, and pose a critical threat to people’s health. Utilizing microorganisms to fight pollution on account of its resistance and high efficiency to the environment. By choosing to employ nitrifying bacteria to degrade nitrogen pollution, and meanwhile, applying fungus for heavy metals absorption and using SRB for desulfurization. According to literature research, it is found that nitrifying bacteria possess the ability to degrade fast. Fungus, affected by pH, adsorption time, initial concentration, and coexisting ion concentration, can efficiently adsorb heavy metal ions. SRB, influenced by different strains, pH, and temperature, embodies higher desulfurization efficiency compared with desulfurization technologies. This work provides a comprehensive understanding of these three types of pollution and suggests microorganisms as the most efficient solutions for reducing the threat of pollution to people in the future.

Accuracy and automation of processes in all areas of human activity play a significant role, so new technologies are increasingly replacing human labor. In all this variety of IT solutions, the logic is more and more rarely traced in the absence of calculation methodology with a combination of necessary tools. This article describes one way of calculating the volume of soil masses using Civil 3D software. As a result of comparison of traditional and automated methods of calculation of volume of earth masses, the essential difference both in total values, and in the time spent for calculations has been revealed. A parallel between surplus volumes and freight transport logistics was drawn. The described method of calculating the volume of soil masses makes it possible to visually estimate the work front, select a suitable method of excavation works, develop production organization, take into account the need for soil removal and filling, determine the cost and duration of excavation works.

THE ROLE OF FAMILY IN DEVELOPMENT OF CHILD
Authors:   Western Caspian University, Hasanova Milan Valeh ,   SOS Children's Villages
Published: September 2022

The family is generally defined as the smallest social unit comprising the characteristics of a society, consisting of parents and children. The family is also the smallest unit in society, formed by marriage and blood relations between spouses, children and siblings. The family is the main social institution. It is one of the main elements that keep society alive. This is due to the need to produce and maintain the human species. The family is the ideal environment for the safe development of the child. Timely and adequate meeting of the child's needs in the family environment promotes the formation of healthy generations and strong societies in the future. Teachers strive to develop the healthiest ways to educate children so that they are harmonious and successful in the future. Although we accept that the development of personality continues throughout a person's life, the fact that the foundation of personality development and construction was laid in childhood remains. Research on social cohesion has shown that the initial effects of the family on the child are extremely important.

The presented article discusses the problems of formation and development of selfesteem as a psychological phenomenon. In psychology, the concept of self-esteem did not immediately take shape as a special phenomenon. Its formation was associated with the concept of 'I'. There are differences of opinion about the nature of the phenomenon of self-esteem. Self-esteem is very important in human life. It regulates behavior and at the same time expresses a person's attitude towards himself. Self-esteem has a significant impact on a person's effectiveness, efficiency and, most importantly, the formation of personality. The article analyzes the literature on current issues related to the nature and origin of self-esteem.
THE CONCEPT OF SOCIALIZATION AND ITS CONNECTION WITH THE THEORY OF ATTACHMENT
Authors:   Western Caspian University, Safarova Ilaha Farzali
Published: September 2022

Socialization is the most important process that ensures the social and psychological development of a person. As a result of socialization, a person is formed as an individual, enters into social relations. In this process, new human needs are constantly emerging and developing. Socialization is successful only when a person enters into social relations in a harmonious way and is able to solve his problems independently. Successful socialization ensures the realization of human expectations, responds adequately to every change in society and becomes a selfactualizing harmonious personality. The initial socialization of the individual is carried out in the family, the foundations of his formation as a person are laid. The individual receives basic information about the world around him in the family. The family shapes the child's personality, defines moral norms, values and behavioral standards for him. Thus, it can be concluded that parent-child relations are an important factor in socialization, and the process of socialization itself can be viewed through the establishment of relations with parents.

Uncommon Yet Consequential Online Harms
Authors: Robertson Ronald E.
Published: September 2022

A consistent finding from recent research on harmful online behaviors is that they tend to be concentrated among a small number of individuals. Whether examining misinformation (Grinberg et al. 2019; Guess, Nagler, and Tucker 2019; Allen et al. 2020), radicalizing or partisan content (Hosseinmardi et al. 2021; Muise et al. 2022), or hate speech (Zannettou et al. 2020), a small number of individuals typically accounts for the vast majority of the behavior. Despite this statistical infrequency, the social consequences of such behaviors can be substantial, especially for people targeted by, or within the social networks of, the individuals perpetuating them.

The aim of this study was to compare the level of SHBG (globulin binding hormone sex) in diabetic pregnant women compared with healthy pregnant women in Kerman.This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on diabetic pregnant patients whose patients were confirmed by a 2-hour blood glucose tolerance test using 50 g glucose or three hours with 100 g glucose. The clinic of Afzalipour Hospital in Kerman was conducted in 1397-8. After completion of demographic information and midwifery records blood samples were collected from the patients and the blood glucose levels were measured, SHBG was measured and finally all data were collected and analyzed for soft The SPSS software was analyzed and analyzed. The serum levels of SHBG in the case group were 83.5 ± 66.4 and 142.9 ± 65 in the control group, which is statistically different (P value = 0.000(. The data from this study showed that in patients with gestational diabetes, serum levels of SHBG significantly decreased, but this level reduction was not significantly associated with other underlying factors and midwifery factors.
Comparison between the Parks Medical Doppler and the Mano Médical Vet BP Doppler for recording indirect systemic blood pressure in conscious dogs
Authors: Domingues Marina , Archontakis Panagiotis , Bouvard Jonathan , Winter Luke , Moore Danielle
Published: September 2022

Objectives: To evaluate agreement between Parks Medical Doppler (PMD) and Mano Médical Vet BP Doppler (MMVBP) for assessing systemic blood pressure (SBP) in conscious dogs.
Methods: 40 client-owned dogs were prospectively enrolled; SBP measurements were acquired by a single operator using the PMD then the MMVBP. The mean of 5 consecutive measurements for each device was classified according to target organ damage (TOD) risk scores (1 < 140 mmHg; 2 =140-160 mmHg; 3 =160-180 mmHg; 4 ≥180 mmHg).
Results: Total mean SBP for the devices was not statistically different (p =0.77). However, Bland-Altman analysis revealed wide limits of agreement, with MMVBP slightly underestimating SBP compared to PMD (bias = –0.6mmHg, 95% LoA: – 26.3 – 25.09). Both devices correlated well (r = 0.8269; p < 0.0001) and had identically acceptable intra-observer repeatability (coefficients of variation of 4.09% for MMVBP; 3.86% for PMD). Four dogs (10%) had a TOD score of 3 by one device but scored < 3 with the other.
Conclusions: A good agreement and correlation was observed between the PMD and the MMVBP suggesting that both devices can be used interchangeably for assessment of SBP in conscious dogs. The wide limits of agreement observed between both devices were most likely associated with intraindividual variability in SBP over time.

Using a public dataset of images of maritime vessels provided by Analytics Vidhya, manual annotations were made on a subsample of images with Roboflow using the ground truth classifications provided by the dataset. YOLOv5, a prominent open source family of object detection models that comes with an out-of-the-box pre-training on the Common Objects in Context (COCO) dataset, was used to train on annotations of subclassifications of maritime vessels. YOLOv5 provides significant results in detecting a boat. The training, validation, and test set of images trained YOLOv5 in the cloud using Google Colab. Three of our five subclasses, namely, cruise ships, ROROs (Roll On Roll Off, typically car carriers), and military ships, have very distinct shapes and features and yielded positive results. Two of our subclasses, namely, the tanker and cargo ship, have similar characteristics when the cargo ship is unloaded and not carrying any cargo containers. This yielded interesting misclassifications that could be improved in future work. Our trained model resulted in the validation metric of mean Average Precision (mAP@.5) of 0.932 across all subclassification of ships.
Is the United Nations Redundant or Still Relevant?

States were given equality and the ability to opt for any type of governance under the Atlantic Charter of 1941. The United Nations (UN) Declaration, which was built after the Atlantic Charter, was signed by 26 nations in 1942. Based on ideas put forth by China, Russia, the United States, and England at Dumbarton Oaks in 1944, the United Nations Charter was negotiated by 50 nations in San Francisco in June 1945. The UN was found on October 24, 1945. With the aid of its different agencies, the UN has increased its efforts in order to maintain international peace, foster social and economic growth, protect the environment, aid in humanitarian relief, and uphold the rights of women and children. The UN, in my opinion, will be the most significant international organization in the new millennium. Since the Charter, there have been both triumphs and failures, such as the inability to stop military wars that have resulted in the deaths, injuries, and displacement of millions of people. It cannot be disputed that the UN Security Council appears to have failed in Syria. The study’s purpose is to clarify whether or not the UN is still necessary.

The new Fish-bones Completion & Stimulation approach by needles in the pay stack aims at addressing heterogeneous tight carbonate by increasing flow area in the lower permeable streaks, which is efficient as hundreds of tunnels drain connecting the borewell to the body of the reservoir to increase well productivity and oil recovery. The initial plan includes selecting the best ones from Stair step horizontal well, Dual Lateral well, five lateral fish-bone drilling, and horizontal drilling along with hydraulic fracture. Considering the lessons of failure to clean internal tubes, the modified 4-1/2” Liner is installed in the lower two sub-layer by jetting subs combing with production subs for matrix acidizing in the upper one sub-layer as per modified Fish-bones Completion Design. In addition, special acid-releasing float shoes and new fishing baskets are applied to avoid those previous problems with this well technique. The candidate well shows good oil test and production, which improved by three times at 2000bbl/d with respect to the initial plan in the B field. This paper describes the technology background and characteristics, design factors, modified design, execution, well test, and lessons learned during implementation.

This paper examines the "U" curve relationship between the quality of environmental information disclosure and enterprise value, as well as the moderating effects of institutional shareholding ratio and nature of ownership, using heavy pollution enterprises in Shanghai and Shenzhen of A-shares from 2015 to 2019 as a research sample. The results show that the relationship between environmental information disclosure and enterprise value of heavy polluters has a relationship of positive "U"-shaped curve; institutional shareholding has a positive moderating effect on the value effect of environmental information disclosure; the nature of ownership shows significant heterogeneity in the effect of environmental information disclosure on enterprise value, and the "U"-shaped value effect of environmental information disclosure of non-SOEs has a positive effect on the value effect of environmental information disclosure of heavy pollute enterprises. The "U"-shaped value effect of environmental information disclosure is more significant for non-SOEs. In further research, this paper conducts robustness analysis of enterprise value, monetary environmental information disclosure and non-monetary environmental information disclosure and endogeneity test. The findings of the study provide empirical evidence for improving the environmental information disclosure system and strengthening the supervision of SOEs, and also provide useful references for enterprises to comprehensively understand the value effect of environmental information disclosure, establish a management mechanism for enterprise environmental information disclosure and correctly view the importance of institutional investors.
