Introduction: Student-centered educational models, such as Flipped classrooms, seem to provide more educational opportunities for learners, especially when combined with web technology. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and satisfaction of medical students with the web-based Flipped classroom method in comparison with the lecture-based teaching method.
Method: This is a quasi-experimental case-control study that evaluates 51 people in each of the two intervention and control groups. In the intervention group, pulmonary physiopathology e-contents were delivered to the students one week before the presence-based class in the form of digital files such as video, text, image, audio and interactive applications through Navid learning management system. Students were required to read the content before the class. Then the face-to-face classroom time was completed with group discussion, question and answer and problem-based learning. In the control group, teaching was carried out by the traditional lecture method in the classroom. Data were analyzed using SPSS, 18.
Result: In terms of age, sex and, mean pre-test scores, there were no significant differences between the groups. The mean scores in the final exam turned out to be 14.66 (10.16-66) in the intervention group but 12 (9.14-3.66) in the controls (P < 0.001) to make a significant difference. In addition to gaining higher final exam scores as for the flipped classroom group, they were also more satisfied with the procedure (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: The flipped classroom approach not only improves learning but also leads to greater students’ satisfaction.
Clinical Application of Automated Breast Ultrasound
Authors: Kim Sung Hun
Published: December 2021

Automatic breast ultrasound (ABUS) has been developed to compensate for the shortcomings of hand-held ultrasound (HHUS) and is mainly used for breast cancer screening purposes in women with dense breasts. Since 2021, ABUS has been covered by the Korean National Health Insurance System. It is important to scan the entire breast on ABUS and to identify the poor-quality images requiring re-scanning. In addition, a general understanding of the unique ABUS display mode, distinguishing benign from malignant lesions, the diagnostic performance of breast cancer screening, and the application of computer-aided detection/diagnosis systems is necessary to use ABUS efficiently. This review explores the acquisition method, image quality, and image characteristics of ABUS to improve general understanding of this procedure and its advantages over HHUS, so that ABUS can be applied efficiently in clinical practice.

Authors:   Lecturer of the Department of Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure of the Law Faculty of the Trans-Baikal State University, Lyutov Valeriy A.
Published: December 2021

Purpose. This research is aimed at identifying the reasons for the social and legal conditionality of establishing criminal bans committed using electronic technologies in Russia and China. Based on this, it is reasonable to study the socio-legal conditionality of establishing criminal liability in the field of electronic technologies, since in the absence of a system of knowledge about public relations protected by criminal law, as well as the environment in which the relevant normative decision was made, it is impossible to fully analyze its content and potential effectiveness. Methodology: general scientific and private scientific methods of cognition: analysis, synthesis, formal logical, formal legal, comparative legal. Conclusions. The need for criminal law protection of the sphere of high-tech circulation from criminal attacks is due to its influence on the existing structure of public relations and the emergence of new threats to the state, public and personal security of citizens. The public danger of crimes committed with the use of electronic technologies has qualitative differences from the negative impact on public relations arising from the use of historically established methods of illegal behavior. Crimes committed with the use of electronic technologies have received a criminal-legal characterization in the legislation of Russia and China insofar as there are new threats to public relations arising from the circulation of computer information and its use for commercial and non-commercial purposes. Scientific and practical significance. The significance of the research is that for the first time a comparative legal analysis of the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China is conducted in terms of establishing responsibility for crimes committed using electronic technologies. The practical significance of the research lies in the legislative activity of the two countries, by improving the processes of unification and differentiation of criminal law prohibitions related to the use of electronic technologies.

Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of Civil and Arbitration Procedure (the Odintsovo Branch) of the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (University) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation (MGIMO University), LL.D., Associate Professor, Tsaregradskaya Yulia K.
Published: December 2021

Purpose. In the context of the development of digital technologies, the issue of the existence and legal regulation of digital of financial assets is being updated. In modern legal practice, there is no uniformity in the terminology of these relations, so it is especially important to consider the possibility of using different terms from digital currency to digital rights. The article analyzes various approaches to defining the concept of cryptocurrency offered by specialists working not only in the field of law, but also in economics, since it is important to consider the possibility of reflecting digital assets in accounting. In the course of the research, both General scientific and private scientific methods were used: scientific abstraction, system, logical, analysis and synthesis, comparative legal and formal legal. Conclusions are made that: 1) as a result of numerous discussions about the legal regulation of digital of financial assets, the state has decided on the terminology in these relations; 2) according to the author, the most successful term is the concept of “digital financial assets”, since the term “asset” is used in russian legislation, in particular investment and tax; 3) russian legal practice has used the experience of foreign countries when making changes to existing legislation, in particular in civil, expanding the list of objects of civil legal relations. Scientific and practical significance. This research allows us to critically understand the existing problems of cryptocurrency regulation, as well as contributes to the development of theoretical directions on this topic and the creation of educational materials dedicated to the digital economy.

The purpose of this article is to identify the main directions for improving administrative and legal regulation in the field of digital technologies application. The article notes that the development of information technologies will lead to a significant transformation of the entire array of legal regulation and law enforcement practice in our country, which will affect both traditional areas of legal regulation (civil circulation, intellectual property, antitrust regulation, special legal regimes, standardization, labor legislation, security , countering terrorism, extremism, corruption, etc.), and will lead to the emergence of a number of new areas in law (change management, ‘LegalTech’, integration regulation, digital environment of trust, financial technology, big data, cyber-physical systems, etc.). The methodological basis of the work is formed by general scientific and specific scientific (logical-legal, comparativelegal, descriptive, content-analysis) methods of cognizing legal reality. Conclusions. All the above directions of development of legal regulation will affect the institutions of modern public administration and will lead to a systemic change of the existing administrative and legal superstructure, which necessitates the development and implementation of measures to comprehensively protect the rights and freedoms of man and citizen from possible threats associated with the expansion of opportunities for illegal use information technologies. The scientific and practical significance of the work lies in the substantiation of practical proposals for improving the current administrative legislation in the field of creating the administrative and legal foundations of e-government, the formation of administrative and legal tools for communication processes of public administration entities, the adoption of administrative legal acts in the development of a system of digital services for citizens and organizations.

Abstract: This study analyzes the thoughts of Abdullahi Ahmed an-Na'im in Islamic law reform, Abdullahi Ahmed an-Na'im, a Sudanese intellectual figure. The objective of this study is for discovering Naskh's thinking conceptually, as an object for Islamic law studies. This critical study emphasizes that it is a need to review the naskh principle, for an-Na'im, which lies in the requirement to treat the texts in the Quran relevantly to fillenough Islamic law reform in a modern context. By comprehending the naskh verses in the Koran as a form of delaying their implementation to the right time, He uses logic or paradigm reversed from the conventional naskh principles, by re-streamlining the principles of Islamic teachings contained in the verses in the Mecca phase, which in conventional naskh theory have stated by the Madaniyyah verses that came down later. For him, reversing the naskh process is an evolutionary principle of interpretation. The methods used are descriptive, hermeneutic, and phenomenological methods. In practical terms, his naskh thinking which is aimed at revitalizing the interpretation of Islamic teachings in the context of the modern world can be useful for its application for the benefits of the ummah in the renewal of Islamic law in Islamic legal reform.Keywords: reform, Islamic law, critical, Abdullahi Ahmed Na'in Abstrak: Kajian ini menganalisis pemikiran Abdullahi Ahmed an­-Na'im dalam reformasi hukum Islam, Abdullahi Ahmed an-Na’im adalah salah seorang tokoh intelektual Sudan.

Published: December 2021

Se estudia la vinculación entre la toma de decisiones del máximo órgano de cogobierno universitario y la implementación de esas políticas en dos territorios y contextos institucionales por dos grupos PDU (Polo de Desarrollo Universitario) diferentes. A partir de un enfoque sociopolítico y neoinstitucional, se analizan las diferencias de implementación en el marco de un debate multinivel. Este enfoque permite distinguir las decisiones específicas que se adoptan para un territorio y una institucionalidad particular, con las características de los grupos académicos que se instalan (disciplina, liderazgo, agenda), para comprender las estrategias de adaptación a condiciones locales. Los resultados de este análisis indican que el desarrollo específico de estos dos grupos es determinado por el contexto institucional donde se establecen, y que sus características interaccionan con los factores e intereses del nivel meso, por lo que desarrollan estrategias de implementación diferenciales, lo que confirma que no existe una relación lineal entre formulación e implementación de una política.
Potentials of hybrid maize varieties for small-holder farmers in Kenya: A review based on swot analysis
Authors:   University of Hohenheim, Germany, Schroeder C , Onyango K’Oloo T , Ranabhat NB , Jick NA , Parzies HK , Gemenet DC ,   Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, Kakamega
Published: December 2021

Maize is the primary staple crop in Kenya and plays an important role in the livelihood of the people of Kenya. Its availability and abundance determines the level of welfare and food security in the country. In Kenya, future increases in maize production to meet domestic demand will have to rely on improvements in yield per hectare rather than on the expansion of maize production area. Enhanced maize productivity can be achieved by increased use of modern production techniques such as the adoption of hybrid maize varieties, the use of chemicals and fertilizer application. Small-scale maize prodcution plays a major role in Kenya’s maize economy and adoption of hybrid technology by small-scale farmers would have the potential to address sustainability and supply issues. However, such modern technologies are still rarely used by Kenya’s small-scale farmers, particularly by those in marginal areas. This study, therefore, tries to review the reasons for the low rate of adoption of hybrid maize varieties among small-scale farmers with focus on those smallholders in Kenya’s marginal areas. Lack of awareness of existing or newly released hybrid varieties, lack of hybrid varieties adapted to marginal areas, lack of confidence in the quality of some hybrid maize seeds, poor access to stockists, low profitability due to high seed cost, inadequate access to credit, the need for fertilizer application and low literacy level have been found to be important factors explaining the low adoption rates by smallholder maize producers in marginal areas. In addition, these constraints might also explain the widespread practice of recycling hybrid grain among small-scale farmers once they have adopted hybrid maize varieties. Therefore, it is hoped that by overcoming these constraints, the adoption of hybrid maize varieties among smallholder farmers could be greatly enhanced, which in turn could lead to a significant positive impact on the country’s food security situation.

Authors: Saikia Punam , Mahanta Pradip
Published: December 2021

Background: Dendrobiums are most popular high value cut flowers which require special attention during cultivation. In Assam, Dendrobium orchids are normally grown under iron frame shade net houses which are quite vulnerable to cold injury during extreme winter period and heavy rain during monsoon period. Further, the existing structures are very costly which is not affordable by small and marginal farmers of Assam. Keeping in view the current study was aimed to evaluate a suitable low cost protected structure for commercial cultivation of Dendrobium cv. Sonia under Assam condition. Methods: An experiment was conducted in the Horticulture Experimental Farm, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, during 2018-2019 which was laid out in factorial completely randomized design with 10 treatment combinations replicated five times. The first factors comprised 5 numbers of low cost protected structures viz., G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5. The second factors comprised T1-1 tier and T2-2 tiers. Result: The results revealed that among the protected structures, healthy growth and better quality flowers were obtained under G1 (Bamboo frame structure covered with fixed 200 micron UV film with top ventilated and 50% agro shade net as ceiling) protected structure followed by G4. Between the tiers, T2 was found to be superior in respect of the growth characters as well as most of the flower characters. So, this treatment combination is merits consideration for commercial growers of Assam to bring about timely and quality flower production of Dendrobium cv. Sonia.

Published: December 2021

Background: Tomato plant has high yield potential, although the yield is very low because of non-availability of superior cultivars for protected cultivation. Presence of diversity is an important for variety development. Hybridization among divergent parents is probably produce ample variability and helps to isolate superior recombinants. So, the study was carried out to assess of genetic diversity in tomato for choosing promising and genetically diverse parents for improvement in yield for protected cultivation. Methods: Fourteen genotypes of tomato were planted inside naturally ventilated polyhouse during September 2018 to May 2019. The data were recorded for twenty-one characters from randomly five tagged plants from each genotype and genetic diversity was computed by utilizing Mahalanobis D2 analysis. Result: All genotypes were arranged into five highly divergent clusters in which cluster I contain maximum genotypes followed by cluster II. The intra cluster distance was highest in cluster I and inter-cluster distance was highest among cluster-II and V. Cluster means indicated that cluster II had high mean values for maximum traits. The highest contribution towards genetic diversity was shown by fruit yield/plant followed by number of fruits per plant. Based on breeding objectives, potential lines are selected as parents for utilization in hybridization programme.
