This article presents the problems of degradation-desertification of astrakhan pasture and hayfields. In these areas, contain all kinds of livestock, as well as diverse fauna. In lean years and degradation, above animals cause large losses. Degradation, world science and practice recommended to be suspended by improvement, that is, by seeding of zoned fodder plants. Based on literature review, this article presents the features of perspective fodder plants of desert introduced into culture to improve arid pastures. Uzbekistan contains only Karakul sheep, whose skin is very highly valued on the world market, more than 10 million heads. More than 4.0 hectares are required per sheep per year, and the pasture area is about 20.0 million hectares. To improve which more than 40,000 tons of Kochia seeds are required per year, for which it is necessary to create seed plants nurseries. Therefore, the authors of this research paper had the goal to develop perspective technology for improving arid pastures, with the creation of rational Kochia seed plants. The results of existing scientific and practical work analyzed and present authors continue to study some indicators of physic-mechanical properties (friction coefficient for various materials) of Kochia seeds. Existing technologies for improving pastures and hayfields, and creating seed plants were studied. These studies have developed the methodology and effectiveness of furrow sowing of the Kochia seeds, in comparison with surface sowing (control). The main parameters are theoretically substantiated and experimentally confirmed – diameter and width, as well as the type of the covering roller of experimental seeder (based on grain-grass seeder) for sowing Kochia seeds, simultaneously forming a sowing furrow and seed embedment in them. Based on the results of laboratory, field and economic tests of experimental desert seeder, optimal seedlings obtained of Kochia seeds and, subsequently, a high yield of fodder and seed mass.

Blockchain is nothing but a chain of blocks which are connected by hashing. We can see that every new technology has become a part of our life. This technology is proving to be helpful in all the fields like education, agriculture, business, government and many more. We can also understand how beneficial it is, as it saves the time, money and human power. But this never-ending technology is lacking to provide security. The Indian Police Department has replaced the manual system with the centralized online process to register the complaint. There are many malpractices in resolution of complaints. So, to avoid them a system is proposed which helps complainer to track the complaint, get ongoing details, and enforce police officers to solve the complaints within stipulated time to avoid unnecessary delay. The main objective of this system is to provide a method to secure the FIR system using blockchain technology. The principal components of blockchain technology viz. security, transparency, decentralization, immutability prove to be helpful for securing this digitalized process. The system uses transparency of blockchain technology as the user can track the complaint at any time. The system uses hashing to provide immutability so that no one can tamper the data entered by the complainer. Smart contracts are used to avoid delay in solving the case. This will avoid malpractices and provide satisfiable results.

Recently, composite materials are among the most prospective substances. The improved characteristics were possessed by Metal matrix composites (MMCs) but which is low in comparison to plain composites. Due to low cost and density, nowadays composite materials most trendy one. Therefore, composite materials reinforced with fly ash particulate of bagasse fly ash will probably overcome the barrier of expense in the applications of small motor and automobile industry. In the current study, a technique of stir casting has been utilized to prepare reinforcement of AL6061 alloy with 5 wt% to 25 wt% of fly ash particulate matter of bagasse fly ash. In this study, the identification of phase and characterization of structures was performed with the help of analysis of diffraction in the X-ray on the fly ash particulate matter of bagasse. The analysis of microstructure was performed with the help of optical microscopy and Scanning electron microscopy. The test like pitting corrosion, compression and hardness have been performed on composite materials and light metal. The analysis of SEM demonstrates that in the matrix stage, there is a homogeneous distribution of fly ash particulates of bagasse and also excellent adhesion is existing among reinforcement and matrix. The hardness, pitting corrosion and compressive strength were improved, and the density of the composite materials was decreased when there is an improvement in the number of fly ash particulates of bagasse. The enhanced pitting corrosion of reinforcement of aluminum alloy with fly ash particulates of bagasse is related to the initiation of the nobler second stage of fly ash particulate matter.

Elektrinio impedanso tomografija yra santykinai nauja pažangi technologija, leidžianti neinvazyviu būdu įvertinti plaučių prisipildymą oru. Šio tyrimo metu elektrodai yra tvirtinami pagal kūno perimetrą ir rekonstruojami vertinamo organo vaizdai, matuo­jant varžos pasiskirstymą ir jos kitimą bėgant lai­kui. Elektrinio impedanso tomografija buvo išplėtota 1980-ųjų pradžioje, bet tik neseniai pradėta taikyti naujagimiams, ypatingai jų kvėpavimo funkcijai ver­tinti. Spinduliuotės nebuvimas, prieinama kaina bei lengva grafinė interpretacija leidžia manyti, kad tai yra tinkama alternatyva jau egzistuojantiems tyrimo metodams, kuri bus plačiai naudojama naujagimių medicinoje. Šiame straipsnyje nagrinėjama mokslinė literatūra, kurioje elektrinio impedanso tomografija naudojama spontaniškai kvėpuojančių išnešiotų ir neišnešiotų naujagimių plaučių ventiliacijai stebėti, bei pirmą kartą Lietuvoje aprašomas elektrinio im­pedanso tomografijos klinikinio pritaikymo atvejis.

The present systematic review reports the results according to guidelines of PRISMA sta­tement. The research question was developed accor­ding to the PICO strategy. Two electronic databases including PubMed and Ovid (MEDLINE) were used to find relevant studies. Two reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts through the databases and performed evaluation of risk of bias of the included studies. After study selection, only 11 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the systematic review. There was significant heterogeneity in the methodological variables, and therefore, it was im­possible to perform valid quantitative synthesis of the data (meta-analysis). Insufficient evidence was found to indicate any of the irrigation solutions used to their effect on bond strength of self adhesive resin cement to root dentin. It is impossible to conclude recommendations to a specific irrigation protocol. Future studies should follow a standardized approach to implementation, same methodologies and repor­ting of data.

Overview of prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics
Authors: Schellack N , Combrinck Y
Published: June 2020

Probiotics have become well-known and widely-used, especially as supplements or add-on therapy in the prevention and management of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Very often, however, the beneficial action and correct use of probiotics may either be seriously misunderstood or not acknowledged at all. This article provides an overview of prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics, including their mechanisms of action, clinical applications and available products on the local market.
Post-reciprocity: In Defense of the ‘Post’ Perspective
Authors: Johnson Martha
Published: June 2020

This article presents an argument about the facilitation of education abroad through a lens of post-reciprocity in the context of Western colonial history and the behaviors of the colonial traveler. The author not only argues that the student’s place in the home culture will also impact their perspective and vary greatly depending on their own identity, but the influence of this established lens and identity is fully formed and their role as traveler established but also argues that is important to consider that by the time a student goes abroad to any destination, they have internalized numerous stories of privileged heroes and adventurers.
Becoming the Change We Want to See: Critical Study Abroad for a Tumultuous World
Authors: Reilly Doug , Senders Stefan
Published: June 2020

Buzzwords like "global competency" sound compelling initially, but without a critical definition, the danger is that the rhetoric becomes an empty sales pitch. In this essay, we argue that we can no longer afford to allow study abroad to be reduced to such catchphrases. We propose a new model for understanding the work of study abroad; Critical Study Abroad. Critical Study Abroad is a structured way of framing our work with direct reference to the current state of the world, and it suggests concrete changes in the work of our programs. It rejects many of the assumptions of previous frames: in place of class-reproduction it offers class-analysis; in place of self-development through accumulation it offers self-development through commitment; in place of internationalism it offers a critical and global perspective; in place of “global competence,” it offers global citizenship. Critical Study Abroad requires that we reevaluate our knowledge production and our teaching, and more specifically, that we reconstitute the field in which study abroad operates.
Interactive Contact as Linguistic Affordance during Short-term Study Abroad: Myth or Reality?
Authors: Allen Heather
Published: June 2020

This study took a sociocultural theory perspective and investigated interactive contact with French by 18 participants in a short-term study abroad (SA) program and the degree to which interactions with homestay families, U.S. peers, and other French speakers in the local community were perceived as valuable affordances for language learning. Findings demonstrate that whereas contact in French with host families was viewed as a valuable affordance for cultural and/or linguistic learning, participants' interactions in the local community were infrequent and viewed less positively. Peer-to-peer interaction in French was construed by some students as useful for developing confidence with interacting in French whereas others saw the SA group as a motivational constraint. Implications of this study include the notion that interactive contact is not inevitable during short-term SA, therefore the SA curriculum should respond by assisting students in devising strategies to nurture interaction, particularly between students and speakers of the foreign language in the local community.
Experiential Approaches to the Global City: London as Social Laboratory
Authors: Gristwood Anthony , Woolf Michael
Published: June 2020

London is a global city which constitutes a major hub of the world economy and is characterised by the socioeconomic contradictions of its success.  It provides significant opportunities for active experiential and inquiry-based learning which transcend the conventional study abroad agenda.  As a centre for exploration and discovery, participation and observation, global London offers a rich field of academic potential precisely because it is (by its nature) multi-dimensional, complex and challenging.  This paper outlines how urban field studies, internships and service-learning may be used to analyse the city’s contested terrain and facilitate critical engagement with the global city in all of its diversity.
Study Abroad and the City: Mapping Urban Histories
Authors: Blair Scott
Published: June 2020

The accumulation by study abroad students of course-related onsite study excursions to museums, historical sites and celebrated buildings no doubt results in meaningful learning experiences.  However, to make study abroad cities truly effective as sites for learning, educators must employ a well-conceived and theoretically-grounded approach that emphasizes the geographical, historical, and cultural formation of community identities linked to related urban spaces. Using a case study designed to analyze urban landscapes of LGBT communities in Paris, this article shows how mapping can be employed to use the city as a laboratory for intercultural learning, identity formation, and tolerance of diversity. This approach is based on best practices in experiential learning set forth by the National Society for Experiential Education (NSEE).  Examples of exercises and templates for onsite study are included.
Ecomuseum Ilha Grande: musealization and collective construction
Authors: Valença Vivianne , Rozentino Gelsom
Published: June 2020

The work aims to analyze the musealization process carried out by the Ecomuseu Ilha Grande. We highlight the relationship between theory and practice of an Ecomuseum, prioritizing the integrated performance of the communities that inhabit Ilha Grande and their involvement in the musealization of the territory and in the definition of its heritage. The theoretical-conceptual foundation involves the notions of territory, society, integral heritage, community participation, local development and the environment. The methodological procedure adopted focuses especially on the community of Vila Dois Rios, where the headquarters of the Ecomuseu Ilha Grande is located and uses the Experimental Laboratory proposal, understanding Vila and its community as a space for collective construction.
Key words: Ecomuseu Ilha Grande; Musealization; Community; Heritage.

Published: June 2020

Sistem politik Indonesia sudah dinamis dan mampu mengikuti perkembangan zaman. Hal tersebut terbukti dengan program e-government, yaitu penggunaan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi dalam penyelenggaraan pemerintahan untuk meningkatkan kinerja dan hubungan antar pemerintah dengan pihak-pihak lain. Salah satu jenis e-government adalah Government To Citizen (G2C), yaitu penyampaian informasi dan layanan publik secara searah dari pemerintah ke masyarakat. Bagian dari Government To Citizen adalah website resmi pemerintah sebagai media penyampaian informasi pemerintah kepada masyarakat yang mulai diterapkan di setiap daerah Indonesia salah satunya Kota Bandung yaitu website resmi Kota Bandung. Namun, pada kenyataannya penyampaian informasi melalui website belum efektif. Hal tersebut diketahui dari penelitian yang ditulis dalam sebuah makalah ilmiah berjudul “Efeketivitas E-Government melalui Banserv Pada Kota Bandung”. Rumusan masalah pada penelitian ini, yaitu bagaimana cara untuk meningkatkan efektivitas website resmi Kota Bandung dalam mengoptimalkan program e-government?. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan penyebaran angket kepada masyarakat Kota Bandung. Pada hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan, ditemukan masalah, yaitu sebagian masyarakat tidak mengetahui website resmi Kota Bandung, bahkan masyarakat yang mengetahui tidak suka mengaksesnya, padahal website resmi Pemerintah Kota Bandung dapat memudahkan masyarakat untuk mendapatkan informasi lebih banyak. Hal tersebut menunjukan bahwa program e-government Kota Bandung pada salah satu media internet, yaitu website masih belum efektif, maka informasi tidak tersampaikan kepada masyarakat. Maka, diperlukan sebuah solusi untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut, yaitu melaui BanServ. BanServ (Bandung Service), adalah sebuah layanan notifikasi kepada masyarakat melaui handphone, yaitu adanya notifikasi berupa pesan singkat. Metode BanServ ini dapat menjadi salah satu alternatif solusi yang membantu pemerintah dalam penyampaian informasi.
Application of Zeolite Nanofiltration for Removal of Heavy Metals from Urban Wastewater
Authors: Morni Azwan
Published: June 2020

In this study, the adsorption and the filtration processes were coupled by a zeolite nanoparticle impregnated polysulfone (PSf) membrane which was used to remove the lead and the nickel cations from synthetically prepared solutions. The results obtained from X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis indicated that the synthesized zeolite nanoparticles, using the conventional hydrothermal method, produced a pure NaX with ultrafine and uniform particles. The performance of the hybrid membrane was determined under dynamic conditions. The results also revealed that the sorption capacity, as well as the water hydraulic permeability of the membranes, could both be improved by simply tuning the membrane fabricating conditions such as evaporation period of the casting film and NaX loading. The maximum sorption capacity of the hybrid membrane for the lead and nickel ions was measured as 682 and 122 mg/g respectively at the end of 60 min of filtration, under 1 bar of transmembrane pressure. The coupling process suggested that membrane architecture could be efficiently used for treating metal solutions with low concentrations and transmembrane pressures.
