Published: May 2021

Facebook, having more than a billion users and being acceptable in more than 70 languages, is changing the ways of communication and sharing information of hundreds of millions of people. Lithuanian users is not an exception. Rapidly changing Facebook, has become an actual scientific research object. Scientists universally are investigating Facebook’s influence on social life. However, Facebook is still quite a new phenomenon in science, and still uncertainty exists defining the most effective its research and usage methods and possibilities. In the last decade, a tendency has been observed, that Facebook is used not only for entertainment, leisure or communication, but more and more its educational functions and possibilities come to light. In 2016, a research was carried out (totally, 300 Lithuanian high school first to fourth course students participated in the research) about Lithuanian high school students’ use of social network Facebook (FB), seeking to reveal how and what functions of a social network FB Lithuanian high school students use, how they value it, what is their opinion about FB influence on a person and what are the possibilities of FB educational use. It has been stated, that most of the students, assuming, that FB is a good communication device, express a positive attitude in the aspect of the statements about possibilities to obtain interesting information about university in Facebook, to find useful sources for the studies, about academic group communication. This shows that they are important in students’ life, FB diversifies study methods, helps to obtain useful information for university studies. Though students spend a lot of time in Facebook, they assert that they are not dependent on using social network, and that this does not have a negative influence neither on their psyche nor the studies. Keywords: educational environment, Facebook, social networking websites, university studies.

Published: May 2021

On the 4th of June, 2015 Lithuania was officially invited to start the process of joining the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development – OECD. Together with an invitation, homework tasks were handed. One of those tasks is to improve education quality in comprehensive schools. From the start of the reform, education matters were of little concern to politicians. Therefore, the relationship was not found between education policy formers and those acting in it, though education reform in Lithuania from the very start of independence had an internationally acknowledged conception, which was evaluated by OECD experts as one of the most prominent strategic documents in East and Middle Europe. For a long time, education problems almost exceptionally were solved only by education workers themselves and thanks to the efforts of education office employees.
According to people, having acquired secondary and higher education, Lithuania is among the first in Europe, but the low primary and general education results make one doubt about the quality of our country secondary and higher education.
Part of pupils, having not acquired general skills, is an indicator of education system, which can be very important, evaluating Lithuanian preparation for joining EBPO. Education, having come into an independent Lithuania life reconstruction, as one of the most matured and ready for changes society life spheres (Juknys, 2008), the question – to improve primary and general school pupils’ learning results, raised at the beginning of the reform, - did not solve.

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING (CLT) IN AN EFL CONTEXT: A CASE STUDY OF LEARNERS' ATTITUDES AND PERCEPTIONS
Authors: Eroz Ekrem , Akbarov Azamat A.
Published: May 2021

This research study investigates the place of communicative language teaching in one of the capital Balkan cities in Sarajevo, in Bosnia by exploring attitudes and perceptions of Bosnian EFL students. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect data from the target EFL learner groups. The findings of the survey revealed that Bosnian learners have positive views and attitudes toward communicative language teaching. According to Hymes (1972), the goal of language teaching is to improve the communicative competence of learners. That is why, educators should focus on the communication skills of learners rather than their grammar-based knowledge and being able to communicate effectively in the target language is the most important of all skills. However, some external factors, like exam system, high number of students in the classes, can be barriers to implement CLT effectively in different EFL contexts and they force teachers to use traditional methods in language teaching but this presumption is lower or almost unlikely in private education institutions thanks to the amenities. Supporting the view above, the results of survey also reported that EFL learners have favourable beliefs for the use of CLT in their classrooms and they believe that as a foreign language English learning is very important in their country and for their future careers.
Key words: EFL (English as a Foreign Language), learner beliefs, communicative competence, CLT (communicative language teaching), English language teaching.
THE PLACE OF TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING (TVET) IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION (STI) POLICY: THE NEED FOR POLICY REFORMATION IN NIGERIA
Authors: Okafor Chukwuemeka B. , Chukwuedo Samson O.
Published: May 2021

Educational policy is a fundamental document that guides the smooth running of any educational programme. If not properly planned, prepared and implemented, such education programme can be run haphazardly without any beneficial outcome. Any policy document that cannot be applied in any educational programme may be described as inadequate. A science or technology based policy should not consider only the advanced level technology in Nigeria but also integrate the lower or indigenous level technology; hence STI policy should not neglect the TVET indigenous technologies since TVET is seen as programme to promote skill acquisition for indigenous and advanced technology in any nation. This study, therefore, investigated the place of TVET programmes in STI policy in Nigeria. The study determined that the place of TVET in STI policy may be described as illusion, mirage or not comprehensive to the public because the policy formulation and implementation appears to neglect the adoption of low level indigenous TVET technologies in Nigeria which an average Nigerian benefits from. Theories and philosophical dicta were presented with respect to policy advocacy for TVET programmes in Nigeria. The place of TVET in STI policy is undefined in Nigeria, hence the need to properly integrate TVET section in STI policy or formulate an independent TVET policy. It is, therefore, recommended that applicable societal values in technology should be considered in STI policy for the realization of the Nigerian vision 20:2020. The STI policy making and implementation process should embrace 90% of the experts in the fields of science, technology, technical and engineering education, else the need for alternative policy for TVET programmes in Nigeria.

COOPERATIVE LEARNING AS A DEMOCRATIC AWARENESS METHOD IN VALUE EDUCATION
Authors: Vacheishvili Natia
Published: May 2021

School promotes the moral-cognitive development of the individual and creates the democratic competence of society as a whole. Cooperative learning is a technique for teaching democratic processes through direct experiences. One of the main aims of the comprehensive educational reform in Georgia is to contribute to the democratic development of the country and its future for European integration. The National Plan of Public Schools stated new concepts to moderate educational standards. In various countries cooperative learning has become a widely used instructional procedure in all subject areas. There has never been a research of the effectiveness of cooperative learning at schools in Georgia. This research explores the role of cooperative learning for awareness of democratic values such as self-esteem, responsibility and interdependence. 551 eighth grade students from 16 different classrooms participated in the research. The classrooms were selected randomly as the experimental group and the control group. In the experimental group cooperative learning was employed, while in the control group traditional lecture-based teaching. The subjects were chosen randomly, Chemistry and Georgian language. The experiment was completed within a three term period. For conducting survey there were used some instruments for each variable: Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Questionnaire and Janis-Field Feeling of Inadequacy scale; The Intellectual Achievement Responsibility (IAR) Questionnaire; Relational-Interdependent Self-Construal (RISC) Test; The Scientific Attitude (SAI) Inventory. As an experiment shows, results vary significantly between cooperative learning and traditional group. Results demonstrated that cooperative learning increased students’ performance in both subjects and students scored significantly higher on all variables such as self-esteem, responsibility and interdependence, hence cooperative learning has a positive effect on value teaching.
Key words: social interdependence theory, cooperative learning, self-esteem, responsibility.

India is now known as one of Asia's forces and an essential player in the international arena. India is one of the strategic focal points of South Asia. Since taking office, India has sought to prioritize its neighbours in foreign policy. India does not want to be limited to a specific selection. Chin is ready to develop exclusive supremacy in this region. New Delhi will not hesitate to use muscle strength in response to anti-India activities. India wants to retain friendly ties with Russia as well as reconciliation with China. The relationship between India and China is currently very complex. Conservatism, nationalism, and the Post-truth doctrine are all on the rise. China's recent border incidents are the country's worst adverse action since 1962. Europe is embroiled in internal conflict after decades in charge. India must devise a new strategy for establishing ties with the European Union, writes Ravi Agrawal. The last two decades have seen an increase in turbulence and complexity in India's relations with the Middle East, he says. In India's foreign policy, the African continent is a critical topic, he writes. India's alliance with the African Union is now much better, according to the BRICS or IBSA. India has a lot to do with the pace at which the global system is changing. The solar alliance was established in November 2015 on Prime Minister Modi's initiative. The aim is to help the Paris Climate Agreement go into effect. As one of the world's leading forces, India must send a message to the world about its capability.

“What’s the problem?”—Toward a framework for collective problem representation in emergency response management
Authors: Frykmer, PhD candidate Tove
Published: May 2021

Responding to today’s often transboundary emergencies, frequently characterized by unclear root causes and indistinct responsibilities as well as multiple actors, will require that responding actors come together to meet societal needs and solve problems arising in relation to those needs. In collective problem solving, representing the problem is crucial, especially in emergency situations, where problems are changing and interacting with each other and are difficult to define. There is however a lack of problem representation research in general and in emergency situations specifically. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to emergency response management (ERM) research by investigating this previously unexplored part in two ways. First, a conceptual framework for investigating collective problem representation in ERM is introduced. The framework provides a complementary perspective on how to evaluate the handling of emergencies, at a level of detail that is currently lacking in many ERM evaluations. Second, the framework is used to investigate the process of achieving a collective problem representation in ERM, to provide insights into what facilitates or impedes this process. Based on 21 interviews with ERM professionals, hierarchical structures, relationships, and legislation and regulations are identified as key factors that impact the formation of a collective problem representation. Possible implications, when this process fails, are a risk of suboptimal emergency management and an increased risk of solving the wrong problem right due to misaligned response goals or a lack of comprehensive overview. Also, the risk of a potential mismatch between stipulated and actual collaboration is identified.

Published: May 2021

So far, distance learning still faces many obstacles in its implementation. Starting from compiling lesson plans, learning methods, to conducting evaluations. Moreover, the psychological factors of students in facing this pandemic, they are required to study at home with various kinds of challenges and obstacles. Limitations of gadgets (smartphone), internet quota to internet networks that do not reach where they live because they are in rural areas. To find a solution to this problem, a study was conducted regarding the initial conditions of SMAN 1 Pagaden students in carrying out this distance learning. By using the Miles & Huberman analysis method, which will find interactive patterns of relationships and to get an understanding of the meaning of the obstacles faced in the distance learning process at SMAN 1 Pagaden by using non-verbal interview techniques. The questionnaire is distributed via google form which then the data obtained is used as a reference for developing distance learning strategies. Based on the results of interviews, based on respondents who answered that distance learning at SMAN 1 Pagaden was less effective, it was 49.8%. Students hope that distance learning does not give many assignments but there is material delivery through google meet or zoom meeting. For students who are not reached by internet and gadget (smartphone) facilities, the visiting teacher model is carried out with small groups.
Transversely isotropic lower crust of Variscan central Europe imaged by ambient noise tomography of the Bohemian Massif
Authors: Kvapil Jiří , Plomerová Jaroslava , Kampfová Exnerová Hana , Babuška Vladislav , Hetényi György ,   AlpArray Working Group
Published: May 2021

Abstract. The recent development of ambient noise tomography, in
combination with the increasing number of permanent seismic stations and
dense networks of temporary stations operated during passive seismic
experiments, provides a unique opportunity to build the first
high-resolution 3-D shear wave velocity (vS) model of the entire
crust of the Bohemian Massif (BM). This paper provides a regional-scale
model of velocity distribution in the BM crust. The velocity model with a
cell size of 22 km is built using a conventional two-step inversion approach from
Rayleigh wave group velocity dispersion curves measured at more than 400
stations. The shear velocities within the upper crust of the BM are
∼0.2 km s−1 higher than those in its surroundings. The
highest crustal velocities appear in its southern part, the Moldanubian
unit. The Cadomian part of the region has a thinner crust, whereas the crust
assembled, or tectonically transformed in the Variscan period, is thicker.
The sharp Moho discontinuity preserves traces of its dynamic development
expressed in remnants of Variscan subductions imprinted in bands of crustal
thickening. A significant feature of the presented model is the
velocity-drop interface (VDI) modelled in the lower part of the crust. We
explain this feature by the anisotropic fabric of the lower crust, which is
characterised as vertical transverse isotropy with the low velocity being
the symmetry axis. The VDI is often interrupted around the boundaries of the
crustal units, usually above locally increased velocities in the lowermost
crust. Due to the north-west–south-east shortening of the crust and the late-Variscan
strike-slip movements along the north-east–south-west oriented sutures preserved in
the BM lithosphere, the anisotropic fabric of the lower crust was partly or
fully erased along the boundaries of original microplates. These weakened
zones accompanied by a velocity increase above the Moho (which indicate an
emplacement of mantle rocks into the lower crust) can represent channels
through which portions of subducted and later molten rocks have percolated
upwards providing magma to subsequently form granitoid plutons.
Brief Communication: Detection of glacier surge activity using cloud computing of Sentinel-1 radar data
Authors: Leclercq Paul Willem , Kääb Andreas , Altena Bas
Published: May 2021

Abstract. For studying the flow of glaciers and their response to climate change it is important to detect glacier surges. Here, we compute within Google Earth Engine the normalized differences between winter maxima of Sentinel-1 C-band radar backscatter image stacks over subsequent years. We arrive at a global map of annual backscatter changes, which are for glaciers in most cases related to changed crevassing associated with surge-type activity. For our demonstration period 2018–2019 we detected 69 surging glaciers, with many of them not classified so far as surge type. Comparison with glacier surface velocities shows that we reliably find known surge activities. Our method can support operational monitoring of glacier surges, and some other special events such as large rock and snow avalanches.
Impacts of high-speed rail development on urban land expansion and utilization intensity in China
Authors: Li Xin , Ma Xiaodong
Published: May 2021

Urban land expansion (ULE) is a crucial factor for socioeconomic and environmentally sustainable development. However, nowadays, the unprecedented scale of high-speed railway (HSR) construction in China could exert an important influence on ULE. This manuscript first reveals the influence mechanism of HSR on ULE and then employs difference-in-difference (DID) models to investigate this effect based on the data of 280 prefectures and above level cities of 2001-2016. We analyze that HSR exerts a joint effect on ULE from the territorial and local levels and then affects urban land-use intensity (ULUI). HSR opening and HSR station distance both have notably positive effects on ULE, with elastic coefficients of 4.1% and 0.5%, respectively. HSR opening and HSR station distance also both exert positive effects on ULE of the central, eastern region cities and large cities of China, while for the western region and small to medium cities, they are not significant. The impact of HSR station distance on ULUI is negative with a significance level of 0.073, while the impact of HSR opening on ULUI is not significant. Lastly, relevant policy implications are proposed to alleviate urban land waste and spatial disequilibrium under the context of HSR building. This study can provide an important basis for sustainable urban land allocation.

Study on operating modes of doubly fed induction generator with a short circuit fault on grid near the wind power plant
Authors:   Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Quy Nhon university, Vietnam, Le Thai Hiep , Tran Duong Hoang Phuc
Published: May 2021

In this paper, the operating mode of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine is studied in order to evaluate its fault ride-through and transient stability with a grid’s short circuit fault at near the wind power plant. Based on the structure of DFIG, external resistors are directly connected to rotor windings, then the generator operates as a wound rotor induction generator (WRIG) when there is a short circuit fault on the grid. According to the simulation results in Matlab, the active power is consumed on the crowbar resistor, causing the active power characteristic of generator is changed from high to low. As a result, the amount of excess mechanical energy is not much, so the generator be not accelerated significantly. These simulation results show that it is appropriate to use the crowbar resistor to change the power characteristic of the DFIG. Thanks to this change, the generator is still connected to the grid, stable operation both during and after a short circuit.

Published: May 2021

NiO/ZnO hierarchical nanostructures were synthesized by a combination of electrospinning, hydrothermal and ultraviolet (UV)-assisted deposition. Initially, ZnO nanofibers were synthesized by electrospinning method following thermal oxidation. Subsequently, ZnO hierarchical nanostructures were synthesized by hydrothermal method using ZnO nanofibers as templates. Finally, NiO nanoparticles were deposited on ZnO surface by UV-assisted deposition method. Morphology and characteristics of the material were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS) and photoluminescence spectrum (PL). The results showed that the NiO/ZnO hierarchical nanostructures with high open space were obtained. NiO/ZnO crystals showed hexagonal structure of ZnO without phase formation of NiO. PL spectra of the NiO/ZnO material showed emission peaks shift towards longer wavelengths in the visible region with increasing the content of NiO nanoparticles.

Gastric bezoars occur in the stomach due to foreign body accumulation with an inability to pass through the pylorus. Major complications of bezoars include intestinal obstruction, gastric ulcer, gastric perforation, and bleeding. Many gastric bezoars can often be treated conservatively. Endoscopy has been commonly used in both the diagnosis and treatment of bezoars. We present a case that complained about abundant gastrointestinal bleeding as well as abdominal distension and was successfully treated with emergency gastric surgery after the failure of bleed control by endoscopic intervention due to giant gastric bezoar.

Authors: Лада Георгий Аркадьевич
Published: May 2021

Цель работы – изучение популяционных систем среднеевропейских зеленых лягушек (Pelophylax esculentus complex) и их динамики в пределах Русской равнины. Многолетние (от 14 до 39 лет) полевые исследования позволили выявить в ряде мест изменения типов популяционных систем. Отмечен переход популяционных систем от LE-типа к REL-типу, а также от E-типа к RE-типу. Основная причина – высокая способность к расселению озерной лягушки, Pelophylax ridibundus. Используя речные русла или естественные понижения рельефа с повышенной влажностью местообитаний, особи этого вида активно проникают в лесные массивы, в которых заселяют непроточные или слабопроточные водоемы естественного или антропогенного происхождения. В ряде случаев этому способствуют изреживание лесных массивов в результате интенсивных лесозаготовительных работ и появление новых водоемов на пути естественного расселения молодняка амфибий.

Published: May 2021

Рассмотрена проблема оценки индикаторной способности систематически близких видов эпифитных лишайников на основе данных об их элементном составе, получаемых с помощью атомно-эмиссионной спектрометрии с индуктивно-связанной плазмой. На примере представителей рода Hypogymnia показано, что H. tubulosa по сравнению с H. physodes обладает более высокой накопительной способностью по отношению к кальцию, железу, литию, а также к таким тяжелым металлам, как кадмий, свинец, алюминий, титан, сурьма. Однако H. tubulosa резистентен к мышьяку. Сопряженный анализ элементного состава и физиолого-биохимических характеристик близкородственных видов лишайников будет способствовать выяснению механизмов устойчивости одних видов и причин уязвимости других в условиях загрязнения среды. Это позволит расширить возможности биомониторинговых исследований и будет способствовать разработке рекомендаций по сохранению биоразнообразия и стабильности природных экосистем.

Missing observations in an experimental design may lead to ambiguity in decision making thereby bringing an experiment to disrepute. Robustness, therefore, enables a process, not to break down in the presence of missing observations. This work constructed a modified central composite design (MCCD) from a four-variable central composite design (CCD) augmented with four center points using the leverage of a hat-matrix. The robustness of the CCD and MCCD were assessed when a design point is missing at the factorial, axial, and center points of the experiment, for a non-standard model, using the loss criterion, D-optimality, D-efficiency, and relative D-efficiency. When the designs are complete the MCCD shows higher D-efficiency and D-optimality for the non-standard model when compared to the CCD. In the absence of an observation from any of the designs, the CCD is found to be a more robust and efficient design compared to the MCCD as it has overall lower loss values at all the factors levels.

Our studies on the performance of formulation development and evaluation of fast dissolving films of Oloptadine HCL its anti-allergic drug. Prepare mouth dissolving film of Oloptadine HCl by solvent casting method. To characterize the prepared mouth dissolving film of Oloptadine HCL in terms of— Thickness, percent elongation, tack test, swelling index, in-vitro disintegration time and dissolution test. Oloptadine OLO), 11-[{z}-3-(Dimethlamino) propylidene]-6-11-dihydrobenz [b, e] oxepin-2-acetic acid hydrochloride, is widely used as an antihistaminic. Oloptadine HCL is a relatively selective histamine H1-receptor antagonist that inhibits the release of histamine from mast cells. Oloptadine does not affect alpha-adrenergic dopamine, muscarinic type 1 and 2 or serotonin receptor. They are hydrophobic in nature and non-polar, sparingly soluble in water and freely soluble methanol, ethanol. Olopatadine HCl is a mouth dissolving film. We is trying to sort out the problem of allergic. They are rapidly onset of action, when placed upon the tongue that it is disperse rapidly swallowing within 3-5 seconds without need of water or chewing.

Prezados leitores,

Neste ano, em que o Instituto de Saúde está comemorando seu 50º aniversário, é com grande satisfação que oferecemos esta edição do BIS, com o propósito de discutir a relevância das evidências qualitativas para iluminar a tomada de decisão em políticas de saúde. Em todo mundo tem crescido o interesse pelas evidências qualitativas, diante da percepção de que os processos de tomada de decisão precisam considerar fatores relacionados com o contexto social, cultural e axiológico, especialmente para a implementação das políticas públicas, a fim de melhorar sua efetividade. Nesse contexto, as sínteses de evidências qualitativas (SEQ) figuram como a primeira linha de esforços para sistematizar e traduzir, de forma transparente, o conhecimento científico disponível nos estudos qualitativos primários, a fim de torná-lo um subsídio acessível em tempo oportuno para a tomada de decisão.

Konsep distribusi kecepatan aliran menyebabkan penggunaan turbin Savonius di aliran air kurang diminati. Turbin Tornado Savonius merupakan jenis turbin baru hasil pengembangan desain turbin Savonius. Inovasi dari turbin Tornado Savonius berada pada bagian bawah blade yang mengecil dan membesar pada bagian atas blade. Bentuk tersebut menyerupai bentuk distribusi kecepatan aliran. Studi ini dilakukan dengan membandingkan kinerja yang dihasilkan turbin Savonius dan turbin Tornado Savonius. Pengujian ini dilakukan pada saluran prismatik dengan 5 variasi kecepatan dan 3 variasi kedalaman. Pada rentang kecepatan aliran (v) antara 0,172 m/s–0,453 m/s, inovasi turbin Tornado Savonius menyebabkan nilai Coefficient of Power (CP) turbin Tornado Savonius lebih besar dari turbin Savonius. Berdasarkan uji eksperimen pada studi ini turbin Savonius menghasilkan nilai RPM sebesar 12,2–28,9 pada saat torsi ( ) sebesar 0,063–0,213 Nm sedangkan turbin Tornado Savonius menghasilkan RPM sebesar 20,7–56,1 pada saat nilai torsi pengujian sebesar 0,038–0,175 Nm. Nilai CP optimal yang dihasilkan turbin Savonius sebesar 0,270 dan turbin Tornado Savonius menghasilkan nilai CP optimal sebesar 0,422. Berdasarkan gradien perubahan kecepatan aliran terhadap nilai CP diketahui bahwa turbin Tornado Savonius dapat bekerja secara optimal pada kedalaman saluran yang sama dengan tinggi turbin. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa distribusi kecepatan aliran bekerja baik pada turbin Tornado Savonius dibandingkan turbin Savonius.
