Published: March 2024

Gübrələr- bitkilərin qida maddələrinə olan ehtiyacını ödəmək üçün torpağa və yaxud da yarpaqlara verilən maddələrdir. Torpaqların münbitliyini, bitkilərin məhsuldarlığını artırmaq üçün gübrələrdən istifadə edilməlidir. Gübrələr torpağa optimal miqdarda verildikdə, torpağın bioloji, fiziki, kimyəvi xassələri yaxşılaşır və məhsulun keyfiyyəti yüksəlir. Yalnız gübrələr vasitəsilə istifadə edilmiş qida maddələri torpağa qaytarılır və məhsuldarlıq bərpa olunur. Kənd təsərrüfatında məhsuldarlıq əldə etmək üçün düzgün gübrələmə aparmaq olduqca önəmli prosesdir. Lakin bəzi fermerlər kənd təsərrüfatı torpaqlarında gübrə balansını qoruya bilmirlər. Bununla əlaqədar olaraq, həm fermerlər, həm də istehlakçılar arzuolunmaz nəticələr ilə qarşılaşırlar. Gübrələrdən normadan artıq istifadə havanın, torpağın çirklənməsinə, torpağın eroziyasına, suların evtrofikasiyasına, insanların və heyvanların müxtəlif xəstəliklərə yoluxmasına səbəb olur. Problemdən çıxış yolu kimi, fermerlərin maarifləndirilməsi işləri aparılmalı, normadan artıq gübrə istifadəsinin qarşısı alınmalıdır. Gübrə istehsalı müəssisələrində tullantılar xüsusi anbarlarda saxlanılmalı, zavodun təmizləyici qurğularından istifadə edilməlidir. Müasir cihazlar vasitəsilə torpaqda gübrələrin miqdarı təyin edilməli, buraxıla bilən həddi nəzərə almalı, torpaqlarda və bitkilərdə çatışmayan qida elementlərini müəyyən etməli, alınmış hesabatlara uyğun gübrələmə aparılmalıdır.

The primary objective of the research was to assess the fundamental proficiency levels in utilizing technology among teachers from District I-C Elementary Schools within the Division of Antipolo City during the academic year 2022 – 2023. The study encompassed a sample size of one hundred seventy-seven (177) elementary educators. These participants were characterized based on factors such as age, gender, marital status, job title, educational attainment, years of service, and their exposure to ICT-related training. To ascertain the basic knowledge and skills concerning computer utilization, a combination of a questionnaire checklist and direct observations by the researcher were employed. This approach facilitated the evaluation of both the perceived efficacy and the actual performance of the participants. The study’s findings revealed that a predominant portion of the respondents were married and situated within the age range of 31 to 45 years. A notable proportion held the position of Teacher I and had accumulated a working tenure of 16 to 20 years at their respective schools. Within the educator cohort, approximately 59.3% possessed qualifications at the master’s degree level, whereas none had attained a doctoral degree. The elementary teachers’ fundamental knowledge and skills in using computers within District I-C Elementary Schools were evaluated across various dimensions, including basic computer operation, word processing, electronic worksheet utilization, computer-based presentation, communication and research, and instructional technologies. The assessment indicated that the teachers’ proficiency in these areas was classified as “Competent” in both their perceived efficacy and actual performance. The examination of the significant difference in knowledge and skills related to computer usage, as perceived by the respondents and their actual performance across the identified dimensions or areas led to the rejection of the null hypothesis. In light of the obtained findings and conclusions, several recommendations emerge. Firstly, it is suggested that teachers actively participate in a higher number of seminars and training sessions focused on ICT utilization. Such engagements would facilitate the deeper integration of ICT tools into the teaching-learning process along mathematics in teaching elementary grades, enhancing overall instructional effectiveness. Moreover, it is worthwhile to explore further research endeavors that encompass different variables. Conducting parallel studies that incorporate various aspects or factors could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between teachers, ICT utilization, and effective teaching practices.

Many bridge piers were built in the Coastal Interconnection Project of the Ningbo Section of the Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway Double Line. Affected by the tides at the bridge site, the high pile caps are constructed using a suspending cofferdam without a bottom cover. Based on the consideration of various factors such as construction difficulty, safety, cost and construction period, etc. A cement structure is generally adopted as the floor of the suspended box cofferdam. The steel-concrete combined hanging box cofferdam without bottom cover adopts the structure of steel wall plate and prefabricated cement floor, and the partition wall plates are connected by bolts. The steel-concrete composite suspending cofferdam adopts the prefabricated bottom plate and wall plate. The construction sequence is listed as follows: First, weld the load-bearing corbel on the steel casing, and then hoist the prefabricated bottom plate to the steel casing corbel in blocks. Pour the wet joint between the prefabricated bottom plate and install the side plate. After that, pour the cushion after welding the shear plate. Finally, carry out the construction of the cap. During the construction of the project, the connection method between the wall plate and the bottom plate was optimized. The connection of the fine-rolled rebar hanger rod was changed to the steel bar pair pulling, which improved the construction efficiency significantly.

An Aerial Image Dehazing Algorithm Using a Prior-Based Dense Attentive Network
Authors: Hang ZHAO
Published: March 2024

To address the problem that the acquired images tend to degrade in clarity and fidelity in aerial hazy conditions to the extent that the target is difficult to detect, this paper proposes an aerial image dehazing algorithm using a prior-based dense attentive network. The network is based on dense blocks and attention blocks with an encoder-decoder structure, which can directly learn the mapping between the input image and the corresponding haze-free image without relying on the traditional atmospheric scattering model. In addition, to better handle inhomogeneous hazy images, the initial fuzzy density map is first extracted from the original hazy images and then used as a common input to the network together with the original hazy images. Finally, this paper synthesizes a large -scale aerial image dehazing dataset containing two subsets of uniform and non -uniform images. The experimental results and data analysis show that the proposed method exhibits better performance of dehazing with other algorithms on both synthetic and real images.

Article: The European Triangle: On the Relationship between Primary EU Law, Secondary EU Law and National Law in the Field of Direct Taxation
Authors: J.A.M. Korving Jasper
Published: March 2024

National tax law provisions, EU Directives’ provisions and primary EU law interact. National rules may be based on EU law, EU law may prohibit national legal requirements, and sometimes secondary EU law can be contrary to primary EU law. The three sources of law that, in concert, form a triangle by connecting the three sources,affect each other, especially for interpretational purposes. The author analyzes the relation between the different sources of law, taking each side of the triangle as starting points, and critically addresses flaws in the current approach towards interpretation of EU law, direct effect and the compatibility of secondary EU law with primary EU law. Especially with an increasing number of forthcoming EU Directives in the field of direct taxation, the determination to what extent a directive is an acceptable political compromise or is contrary to fundamental principles is getting increasingly important.

Published: March 2024

As part of its digital strategy, the European Commission proposed the world’s first-ever comprehensive legal framework on AI in April 2021. In December 2023, the Council and the Parliament reached a political agreement on the EU’s new Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act). The AI Act follows a risk-based approach and aims to ensure that AI systems placed on or used in the EU market are safe and respect fundamental rights. The AI Act is expected to become a model for AI governance worldwide in a similar way that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has influenced data protection regulation beyond European borders. While technical negotiations on the final text are ongoing and the final wording of the provisional agreement is not yet public, this article aims at providing a detailed overview and analysis of the upcoming provisions and requirements of the AI Act based on public (and some non-public) reports and press releases on the political agreement reached by the Council and the Parliament.
