The Flipped Classroom Model in Libyan Higher Education: Experiences with Students of Computer Principles
Authors: A Al Ghawail Entisar , Ben Yahia Sadok
Published: June 2021

Aim/Purpose: This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the flipped learning approach in a computer principles course at Alasmarya Islamic University, Libya.

Background: The reason for this consideration was to evaluate the viability of conventional lecture-based educational programmes versus the active learning of computer concepts in flipped classrooms for college economics students at the Alasmarya Islamic University.

Methodology: The experiment was applied to two groups: one, class A, undertook the course through the traditional method, while the other, class B, undertook the course according to the flipped classroom model. Class A students had to attend a face-to-face classroom lecture, while Class B students had to watch a pre-recorded YouTube lecture before attending class.

Findings: The findings show that students participating in the flipped classroom were satisfied with this model, which produced a positive effect on students’ achievements in higher education. The flipped model also has the ability to increase students’ motivation to teach themselves compared with the traditional model.

Recommendations for Practitioners: This study recommends the use of flipped learning paradigm to teach in higher education in Libya, as the teachers who applied flipped learning may also provide students with the opportunity to practice and improve their independent learning.
Local identification of persistent cold air pool conditions in the Great Hungarian Plain
Authors: Szabóné André Karolina , Bartholy Judit , Pongrácz Rita , Bór József
Published: June 2021

Cold air pool (CAP) is a winter-time, anticyclonic weather event: a cold air layer confined by the topography and warm air aloft. If its duration is more than one day, then it is called persistent cold air pool (PCAP). CAPs are mainly examined in small basins and valleys. Fewer studies pay attention to PCAPs in much larger basins (with an area of more than 50 000 km2), and it is not evident how effective the existing numerical definitions are in cases of extensive PCAP events. A possible method of identifying PCAPs in a large basin is to identify PCAP weather conditions at different measuring sites across the basin. If there are PCAP weather conditions at most of the sites, then it is likely to be an extensive PCAP. In this work, we examine which of the documented CAP definitions can be used for reliable local detection of CAP conditions. Daily weather reports and meteorological data from two locations in the 52 000 km2 sized Great Hungarian Plain have been used to obtain a reference set of days with PCAP weather conditions during two consecutive winter months. Several numerical CAP definitions were compared for their performance in recognizing the presence of PCAP weather conditions using radiosonde measurements and reanalysis data. The lowest error was produced by using the heat deficit (HD) method. So this is considered the most suitable method for local identification of PCAPs in the Great Hungarian Plain.
Assessment of agrometeorological indices over Southeast Europe in the context of climate change (1961-2018)
Authors: Chervenkov Hristo , Slavov Kiril
Published: June 2021

The regional response over Southeast (SE) Europe to the climate warming in global and continental scales has been confirmed to have essential impact on the agriculture and forestry since the middle of twentieth century. Normal variations in weather throughout a growing season cause variations in harvest and, generally, the impact could be large in terms of production amounts and economic returns. Agriculture is sensitive to the changes in weather and climate, and the occurrence of extreme events threaten the agricultural systems. Forests are particularly sensitive to climate change, because the long life-span of trees does not allow for rapid adaptation to environmental changes. This study provides an overview of the spatial patterns and the long-term temporal evolution of the following agrometeorological indices: growing season length, accumulated active temperatures and biologically effective degree days. Hence the focus is on the Growing season length, its start and end dates are analyzed separately. All indices are computed from the daily mean temperatures which, in turn, are derived from the output of the MESCAN-SURFEX system analysis of the collaborative initiative UERRA. The geographical domain of interest is Southeast Europe, and the assessment is performed at a very high spatial resolution on annual basis for the period 1961–2018. We find strong evidences of essential increase in the considered indices which dominates spatially over the low-elevated areas of the domain and is statistically significant at 5% level. Key message is also the revealed asymmetry of the increase in the most relevant index, the growing season length: its total lengthening is linked more to the shifting to earlier date of the start, rather than to its later cessation.
Air pollution in Ukraine: a view from the Sentinel-5P satellite
Authors: Savenets Mykhailo
Published: June 2021

The study presents analysis of current air pollution state over Ukraine including remote regions and uncontrolled Ukrainian territories; features of NO2, SO2, and CO spatial distribution and seasonality under the influence of local anthropogenic emissions. The research is based on Sentinel-5P satellite data for the period of November 2018 – January 2020. Despite the increasing traffic emissions, the industrial emissions still greatly influence the air pollution in Ukraine. Sentinel-5P coverage allowed detecting a number of cities with huge anthropogenic NO2 and SO2 emissions, where ground-based measurements are absent. Uncontrolled territories on the east part of Ukraine still negatively affect air quality in the region due to the activity of coal-fired thermal power plants. The study indicates significant air quality changes during the heating season in winter and open burning in March – April. There were found differences in NO2 seasonal variability over clean remote regions and industrial zones. The paper analyzes features of shipping emissions during the tourist season for Ukrainian coastline of Black and Azov Seas, showing huge negative impact of chaotic movements of tourists boats near the Dzharylhach National Nature Park.

Authors: Aghakhani Afshar Amirhosein , Hassanzadeh Yousef
Published: June 2021

Water scarcity and the climate change impacts on water components will drastically alter everybody's life. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) has been utilized in this study in combination with Sequential Uncertainty Fitting Program (SUFI-2) to simulate precipitation (P), temperature (T), blue water (BW), green water flow (GWF), and green water storage (GWS) in Kashafrood River Basin, Iran. The outputs of two Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) models (MIROC-ESM and GFDL-ESM2G) are selected for hydrological modeling under Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) of 4.5 and 8.5 and for the near future (2014-2042) and far future (2043-2100( periods compared to historical period (1995-2011). The results of RCPs, in comparison with the historical period, show that P and BW are increased and in GFDL-ESM2G are better than MIROC-ESM, while T tends to increase, and MIROC-ESM is better than GFDL-ESM2G. GWF, in all future periods (except in MIROC-ESM in near future and under RCP4.5 and 8.5) and in all RCPs tend to decrease, and the results of MIROC-ESM are better than those of GFDL-ESM2G in near future and are vice versa in far future. It is anticipated that GWS continues its historical trend in the future.
Changes in extreme precipitation over the North Caucasus and the Crimean Peninsula during 1961-2018
Authors: Vyshkvarkova Elena
Published: June 2021

Based on daily meteorological data, spatial and temporal distributions of extreme precipitation in 1961–2018 were examined for the North Caucasus and the Crimean Peninsula. Extreme precipitation indices recommended by the Expert Team for Climate Change Detection and Indices were calculated for 45 meteorological stations. Analysis shows that the highest values of extreme precipitation indices are on the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus, except duration of dry spell, because of the atmospheric circulation features and the complex orography of studied area. Extreme precipitation trends are spatially incoherent and mostly statistically insignificant over the studied territory. Significant upward trends on the Caspian Sea coast and Stavropol Upland and statistically significant decreasing trends in the fixed threshold-based indices and all intensity indices over the Crimean Peninsula were detected. Positive and significant correlation between precipitation indices (except consecutive dry days) and altitude was obtained.
Compatibility assessment at oil types mixing for joint transportation
Authors: Шматков Антон Анатольевич , Штонда Наталия Владимировна , Олудина Юлия Николаевна
Published: June 2021

Транспортировка по системе магистральных трубопроводов нефтей различного состава, существенно различающихся по своим свойствам и показателям качества, возможна при определенном усреднении качества нефти в грузопотоках путем применения технологии смешения. При этом может возникнуть проблема несовместимости нефтей, проявляющаяся в виде аномального изменения показателей качества и физико-химических свойств нефти или интенсивного выпадения твердых отложений. В научной литературе встречается большое количество работ, посвященных изучению данной проблемы, однако комплексный подход к оценке совместимости нефтей при транспортировке по разветвленной системе магистральных нефтепроводов до сих пор отсутствовал. Авторами настоящей статьи предложен подход, в основе которого - оценка совместимости нефтей при смешении по критериям плотности, вязкости и коллоидной стабильности. Реализация подхода проиллюстрирована на примере пункта смешения, где формируется смесь из двух различных по качеству нефтей. По результатам анализа установлено, что оценка совместимости нефтей с учетом разработанных критериев позволяет сделать вывод о целесообразности смешения конкретных типов нефтей либо об их оптимальных соотношениях при смешении, исключив тем самым негативное влияние явления несовместимости на процесс транспортировки различных типов нефтей.

Transportation of oil of various compositions with significantly different properties and quality values through the main pipeline system is possible with specific averaging of oil quality in traffic flow by using mixing technology. In this case the problem of oil incompatibility can appear in the form of abnormal changes in quality values and physical-chemical properties of oil or formation of heavy solid deposits. There is a big number of researches related to the examination of this problem in the scientific literature, however, a comprehensive approach to assessment of compatibility of oil in the course of main pipeline system transportation has not yet been considered. The authors suggested the approach, which is based on an assessment of oil compatibility during mixing according to its density, viscosity and colloidal stability. The implementation of this approach is shown in the example of an oil mixing station, where the mixture of two oils of different quality is formed. It has been found that the oil compatibility assessment with regard to the developed criteria allows to make a conclusion on the feasibility of mixing certain types of oils or on their optimal proportion during mixing, having excluded the negative impact of the incompatibility phenomenon on the transportation process of different types of oil.

Authors: KAYA Naki , ÇAVDAR Şükrü , KORALAY Haluk
Published: June 2021

Carbon, which is known to play a improvement role on the superconductivity properties of MgB2, was doped into MgB2 by CVD (chemical vapor deposition) method, and the change of structural and magnetic properties observed in MgB2 in relation to the change of sintering temperature was investigated. In this context, in the sample preparation step, amorphous nano boron powders with carbon added by chemical vapor deposition method were mixed with magnesium powders at certain mass ratios and sintered at four different temperatures (700-800-900-1000 0C) with the classical solid state reaction method and converted into carbon-added MgB2 samples. SEM photographs of amorphous nano-boron powders with carbon added were taken and subjected to elemental analysis. The structural and magnetic properties of the samples obtained were examined. X-ray diffraction graph, magnetization values and Magnetic Field-Magnetic Moment (M-H) graphs of the samples obtained by XRD method and the critical current density values with Bean Method were found and Magnetic Field-Critical Current Density (Jc-H) graph was created. It was determined that, in all the samples obtained, the MgB2 superconductor structure was formed and the carbon structures included in the structure caused changes in the lattice parameters due to the ion radius difference, that fracture occurred in the magnetization curve of the sample prepared by sintered at 1000 0C due to the intense impurities caused by the phase transitions due to the high temperature, in samples prepared at low temperatures, and that magnetization curves that could not expand sufficiently were observed, flux jumping occurs in the magnetization curve and this also affected the critical current density. In addition, the change in the critical current density value from 7.0×10^3 A/cm2 to 2.8×10^4 A/cm2 showed that the reaction temperature was an effective parameter on the experimental results. As a result of the examinations, when compared between the 4 different sintering temperature values used, it was found that the sintering temperature of 900 0C was the temperature at which the best physical results were obtained in MgB2.

On this basis, this study aims to see how the facts of policies, the value of policies and actions taken by the government are for the success of the Berjaya Farmers Card policy. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The technique of collecting data in this research is by making observations, interviews and documentation. The results show first, the fact that the 2020 farmer card triumphant card has entered the socialization and implementation stages even though the progress tends to be slow. Farmers who have joined this policy are only 0.8% of the total number of farmers in Lampung. The slow process of implementing this policy is also influenced by several factors, namely human resources, geographical factors, bureaucratic structure and conditions. Second, the value of this policy is still far from its planned goals. Third, the government needs to take actions including providing massive counseling and assistance to young (farmers millennial), increasing the quantity and quality of policy implementers, and widening cooperation with other private parties.

Authors: Efremov Evgeny Nikolaevich
Published: June 2021

The study aims to identify specificity of the main lines of the state policy concerning the Muslim community of the Mari El Republic in 1985-1991. Scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that the researcher has identified features of the relevant religious policy within the thematic scope of the article using previously unpublished documents from the State Archives of the Republic of Mari El. As a result, it is proved that the considered policy consisted in revival of the Muslim community (registration of religious organisations, provision of buildings for their religious needs, etc.), as well as in the Tatars’ national and cultural education (in late 1988 - 1989), which contributed to actualisation of religious and cultural traditions of Islam in the region.

For this purpose, the article examines history of the concept “crisis”, as well as bases for studying crisis as a social and historical phenomenon and emergence of systemic approaches to its analysis and forecasting. Scientific novelty of the work lies in taking the interdisciplinary meta-theoretical approach, which allows the researcher to justify methodological significance of and the need to study crises from the systemic perspective. The research findings have shown that holistic socio-historical and methodological view of crises as a phenomenon is per se possible only within certain systems on a traceable trajectory of their development.
Concept of Colour in John Russell’s Creative Work
Authors: Isaeva Olga Anatolievna
Published: June 2021

The aim of the research is to identify the main stages of colour evolution in John Russell’s painting in the context of fine art development in the late XIX - early XX century, in the age when new trends were being shaped in international artistic practices. The article describes the painter’s attempts covering late impressionist painting, the productive post-impressionist period associated with many names in the art of France and far beyond its borders; above all, it refers to his connection with creative work of Vincent Van Gogh, Tom Roberts, Claude Monet and later with that of Henri Matisse. Primary focus is on highlighting Russell’s artistic activity related to an attempt of theoretical understanding and practical experiments in working with colour, which he consistently promoted in his own painting and in sustained personal communication and correspondence with a wide range of artists from different countries. In addition to studying the concept of colour in Russell’s creative work as such, scientific novelty of the research lies in studying its influence on Henri Matisse’s painting, which allows the researcher to shed light on the subsequent colouristic revolution in the art of Fauvist masters. As a result, it is proved that creative work of John Russell as a colouristic innovator is an integral factor in formation of the most important processes of fine art in the late XIX - early XX century.
