Accurate specification of water availability shows its importance for global crop production
Authors: Proctor Jonathan , Rigden Angela , Chan Duo , Huybers Peter
Published: November 2021

It is well established that warming temperatures damage the yields of many crops across the globe. Yet the influence of water supply on global agricultural yield and its relation to water demand and direct temperature stress is unclear. A number of global studies found a minor influence for precipitation, whereas some regional analyses suggest a more prominent role for water availability. Here, we use satellite-based measurements to quantify how soil moisture and temperature jointly influence the global productivity of maize, soybeans, millet, and sorghum. Relative to empirical models using precipitation as a proxy for water availability, models using soil moisture better separate water supply stress from correlated heat stress, leading to a 30 to 120% increase in explained variance of inter-annual yield anomalies across crops. Historic yield anomalies are equally determined by temperature and soil moisture, whereas projected damages associated with climate change are substantially larger for temperature. Globally, yield damages of -9% to -32% are predicted across crops under SSP5-8.5 between 2015-2035 and 2080-2100. Projections using temperature and precipitation, instead of soil moisture, overestimate the magnitude of damages to agricultural productivity because they confound heat stress and dryness stress, and because dryness associated with historically hot days is proportionately more severe than that expected for global warming. These findings indicate that use of remotely sensed measurements of soil moisture improve the representation of water supply in empirical crop models and document the importance of accurately measuring and modelling the influence of water supply to predict historic and future changes in global agricultural productivity.

Published: November 2021

Purpose: Canonical sentence structures are the most frequently used in a given language. Less frequent or non-canonical sentences tend to be more challenging to process and to induce a higher cognitive load. To deal with this complexity several authors suggest that not only linguistic but also non-linguistic (domain-general) mechanisms are involved. In this study, we were interested in evaluating the relationship between non-canonical oral sentence comprehension and individual cognitive control abilities.Method: Participants were instructed to perform a sentence-picture verification task with canonical and non-canonical sentences. Sentence structures (i.e., active or passive) and sentence types (i.e., affirmative or negative) were manipulated. Furthermore, each participant performed four cognitive control tasks measuring inhibitory processes, updating in working memory, flexibility and sustained attention. We hypothesized that more complex sentence structures would induce a cognitive cost reflecting involvement of additional processes, and also that this additional cost should be related with cognitive control performances.Results: Results showed better performances for canonical sentences compared to non-canonical ones supporting previous work on passive and negative sentence processing. Correlation results suggest a close relationship between cognitive control mechanisms and non-canonical sentence processing.Conclusion: This study adds evidence for the hypothesis of a domain-general mechanism implication during oral language comprehension and highlights the importance of taking task demands into consideration when exploring language comprehension mechanisms.

Trotz aktuell steigender Impfbereitschaft unter den Erstimpfungen ist nicht abzusehen, dass die vom RKI geforderten Impfquoten für die künftige Kontrolle des SARS-CoV-2 Virus mit den bisherigen Maßnahmen zur Steigerung der Impfbereitschaft erreicht werden können (Stand: Ende November, 2021). Daher werden in diesem Artikel drei Typen verpflichtender Regelungen vorgestellt (Terminpflicht, Beratungspflicht, Impfpflicht) und die Vorteile und Nachteile einer Impfpflicht aufgeführt. Vorteile einer Impfpflicht -Eine Impfpflicht ist sozial und stärkt das Gemeinwohl-Eine Impfpflicht kann effektiv sein-Eine Impfpflicht gegen COVID ist aktuell akzeptiert-Eine Impfpflicht kann sich positiv auf die Gesellschaft auswirken-Eine Impfpflicht kann Vertrauen stärkenNachteile einer Impfpflicht-Eine Impfpflicht entbindet nicht von der Aufklärung-Eine Impfpflicht kann psychologische Nebenwirkungen haben-Eine zielgruppenspezifische Impfpflicht könnte die Gesamt-Impfquote negativ beeinflussen-Eine Impfpflicht könnte “impffaul” machen-Eine Impfpflicht braucht begleitende Maßnahmen zur Stärkung der AkzeptanzAls Wissenschaftler:innen aus Psychologie und Gesundheitskommunikation setzen wir uns für eine informierte, evidenzbasierte Impfentscheidung ein und befürworten eine Impfpflicht nicht grundsätzlich. Aufgrund der zu erwartenden hohen gesundheitlichen und gesellschaftlichen Kosten und Belastungen, die das Fehlen einer Impfpflicht und damit eine zu niedrige Impfquote mit sich bringt, empfehlen wir jedoch nun, umgehend Beratungen über das Design, die Umsetzung, die rechtliche Grundlage und die Abfederung möglicher Folgen zu beginnen. Hierfür sollte ein interdisziplinär besetztes Expert:innen-Team herangezogen werden, in dem auch Sozial- und Verhaltenswissenschaftler:innen sowie Bürger:innen vertreten sind.
Harnessing the Wisdom of the Confident Crowd in Medical Image Decision-making
Authors: Hasan Eeshan , Eichbaum Quentin , Seegmiller Adam , Stratton Charles , Trueblood Jennifer S
Published: November 2021

Improving the accuracy of medical image interpretation is critical to improving the diagnosis of many diseases. Using both novices (undergraduates) and experts (medical professionals), we investigated methods for improving the accuracy of a single decision maker and a group of decision makers by aggregating repeated decisions in different ways. Participants made classification decisions (cancerous versus non-cancerous) and confidence judgments on a series of cell images, viewing and classifying each image twice. We first examined whether it is possible to improve individual-level performance by using the maximum confidence slating algorithm (Koriat, 2012b), which leverages metacognitive ability by using the most confident response for an image as the ‘final response’. We find maximum confidence slating improves individual classification accuracy for both novices and experts. Building on these results, we show that aggregation algorithms based on confidence weighting scale to larger groups of participants, dramatically improving diagnostic accuracy, with the performance of groups of novices reaching that of individual experts. In sum, we find that repeated decision making and confidence weighting can be a valuable way to improve accuracy in medical image decision-making and that these techniques can be used in conjunction with each other.

In this work, highly concentrated electrolytes were prepared by dissolving tetrafluoroborate (LiBF4) salt in the two solvents including tetramethylene sulfone (TMS) and trimethyl phosphate (TMP) with different mole ratios. The results indicated that the electrolyte LiBF4/TMS (1:3) (~3.4 M) possessed the highest oxidation stability of 6.2 V (vs. Li+/Li) and high ionic conductivity of 1.0 mS/cm that could be promising for high voltage Li-ion batteries operated in the voltage range of 3.5-4.9 V. The electrolyte compatibility with high voltage cathode Li || LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) was evaluated in coin-cell configuration, which displayed high reversible discharge capacity of 113 mAh/g in the first cycle and high initial Coulombic efficiency >91% and remained >80% of the initial capacity at the 100th cycle. By using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) method, the diffusion coefficient was also calculated as about 4.51×10-11 cm2/s.

Published: November 2021

This article describes the course of World War II in the Intermarium region in relation both to the national policies of several countries and to the resistance movement organized by the communities opposing the Soviets as well as German domination. The first phase of events takes place in the period from September 1939 to the German invasion of the USSR; the second phase lasts until the end of the war and launches the partisan actions inspired by communist organizations on behalf of the Communist International (Comintern). The aim of the partisans’ actions was the resistance to the domination of the Third Reich and Italy achieved through diversions at the rear of the armies of the Axis powers. At the same time the Soviets’ joining the alliance results in treaties of the Big Three (The USA, Great Britain and the Soviet Union) establishing the political order for Europe after the end of WWII, particularly the subjugation of Intermarium countries by the Soviet domination.
Błok i Jung: inflacja ego („Wiersze o Przepięknej Pani”)
Authors: Malej Izabella
Published: November 2021

According to depth psychology, whose pioneer is C.G. Jung, inflation is an emotional state, most often triggered by a dream, manifested by an increase in sexual urge, a feeling of higher energy, power and fascination. Ego inflation can have a dual effect on the individual who experiences it: positive, which is associated with the possibility of establishing contact with archetypes as elements of the collective unconscious, and negative, leading to a sense of possession. In both cases, which often occur together, the key to understanding this unique state of psychic energy is contact with symbols, previously latent in the psychic genotype. In the creative process, as well as in crucial moments of life, the ego acquires the special privilege of insight into the unrecognised realms of the unconscious, which leads to a kind of emotional explosion, a feeling of ecstasy. The ego of the creator, stunned by new possibilities and filled with psychic energy, undergoes excessive growth, “swelling”. Carl Jung calls this state being possessed by the unconscious complex. In the case of Alexander Blok, one can speak of being possessed by the archetype of the Eternal Feminine – Anima, which is proven in the cycle Verses About the Beautiful Lady (1901–1902). The symbol of the Beautiful Lady unites within its archetypal structure various kinds of psychological oppositions (consciousness and unconsciousness, inner woman and inner man, ecstasy and fear). The Beautiful Lady as the numinous element of the poet’s psychic structure acquires the status of an energetic dominant or the centre of the unconscious.

The Polish language actively penetrated the lives of Ukrainians, particularly in office work in the XVI and especially in the XVII century. The subject of our study were Polonisms found in the identification of men in the Zhytomyr region in the XVI–XVII centuries. Among foreign names, more than 6% are in the naming of representatives of the top and less than 1% – of the lower social strata, some are borrowed from the Polish language: Kryshtof, Sebestian, Fry(d)ry(ch) and others. Occasionally the same person, primarily a nobleman, is identified by the Ukrainian name and its Polish counterpart: Fedor / Teodor, Semen / Shymon. Attention is paid to Polish phonetic features in the analyzed surnames: incomplete vowel forms: Zablo(ts)ky(y), Kga(v)ro(n)sky(y); preservation of the Proto-Slavic suffix *dl: Motovy(d)lo; Proto-Slavic nasal reflexes: Do(m)bro(v)sky(y), Kgole(m)be(v)sky(y), Szczęsny. Variable use of such anthroponyms with their Ukrainian equivalents is proved: Kgroho(v)sky(y) / Kgoroho(v)sky(y), Ve(n)kgry(n) / Uhryn.

Authors: Barbeito Thonon Cécile
Published: November 2021

Este artículo analiza cinco estudios de casos europeos (Croacia, España, Francia, Italia y Suecia) para comparar las políticas de formación de profesorado relativas a la transformación de conflictos y la convivencia escolar. Examina leyes educativas, currículos y políticas de formación de profesorado de cada país y verifica en la práctica si se garantiza la formación inicial y continuada en contenidos relacionados con la transformación de conflictos y hasta qué punto la administración hace un seguimiento suficiente de la efectividad de las políticas de convivencia. A pesar de identificar algunas buenas prácticas, se concluye que las políticas de formación de profesorado en materia de convivencia en los países estudiados son imprescindibles, pero insuficientes, incoherentes e instrumentales, aún lejos del objetivo de formar a personas a aprender a vivir juntos.
Acute pneumonia and antibiotic therapy: the limits of the possible are determined by the results, not by modern directives
Authors: Klepikov Igor
Published: November 2021

The problem of treatment of community-acquired pneumonia(САР) for many years remains an urgent health issue worldwide, and the disease itself is dangerous for a healthy person at any age, especially for children and the elderly. All publications on this topic reflect anxiety and dissatisfaction with the current situation, but no one anywhere offers a radical real solution. All observed proposals to improve the results of treatment of САР are repeated for many years and declare the acceleration of bacteriological diagnosis combined with the development of more effective antimicrobial drugs. The ineffectiveness of solving the problem in this way has only begun to fix the attention of specialists. "Despite advances in antimicrobial therapy, САР continues to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in adults".
Review on Macronutrient in Agronomy Crops
Authors: Zewide Isreal , W Melash
Published: November 2021

Macronutrients play a very important role in plant growth and development. Three main elements are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (N, P, K) and are required in abundance. They must be readily available through soil medium or fertilizer. The secondary elements are sulfur, calcium, and magnesium (S, Ca, Mg). The problem of low soil fertility and poor plant nutrition does not only affect crop yields but also crop quality. Various nutrient elements influence biochemical processes and eventually affect the overall quality of various crops and their products. Depending on the amount that is available for plant uptake, these nutrients influence crop yields and quality and plants treated with absence of nutrients in the nutrient solution showed that N and Ca were the most limiting nutrients to biomass production The crop quality characteristics mostly reported to be affected by plant nutrition include: proteins, carbohydrate, sucrose and fructose content in grains, root crops, tuber crops and fruits; vitamins like beta-carotene content in fruits and tubers; moisture content at storage in cereal grains, potato tuber density; and frying colours, and fruit weight. It has been noted that essential and beneficial nutrient elements contribute to crop quality through functioning as raw materials for the synthesis of various plant components that have food value to humans and animals.

Published: November 2021

The purpose of this study is to improve microbiological qualities of black tiger nut tubers. Thereby, black variety of tiger nut tubers (Cyperus esculentus) were differently processed in ascorbic acid and alkaline (Ca(OH)2 and Kanwa (alkaline calcium carbonate locally used to soften vegetable)) solutions at different concentrations and temperatures. The effect of these treatments on the water content (swelling), soluble loss, dehulling efficiency and microbial load was investigated. Water content or swelling of the tiger nut soaked in acid and alkaline solutions can be predicted by Peleg model like with brown variety.of C. esculentus tubers. This swelling lead to enhance dehulling efficiency of tuber but caused soluble solute loss overall at the highest temperature of soaking in vitamin C solution. Like soaking in water, the constant of Peleg (k1) decrease with the increase of the temperature of soaking, whereas the constant of capacity of Peleg (k2) is approximately 0.018% for all the conditions. Dehulling efficiency also increased with increasing temperatures (65% at 20°C to 70% at 60°C) for tiger nut tubers soaked in water (0 g/L), dehulling efficiency appeared most strongly affected by concentrations and temperatures of soaking solutions. Like dehulling efficiency, ascorbic solutions has given the best results in term of reduction of microbial load compared to the other soaking solutions. This reduction is considerable at the higher temperatures, reaching a maximum of 4.8 log reduction. Soaking and dehulling treatments gave to black tiger nut tuber effective decontamination in term of microbial load and obtained good microbiological quality for final process.

Authors: Khan Hamzullah
Published: November 2021

We did a pilot study in the month of July 2020 in Qazi Hussain Ahmed Medical complex Nowshera with aim to determine the gender protective role in term of production of neutralizing Anti SARS-COV-2 antibodies. A total of 39 COVID-19 patients with recovery were selected and their antibodies cut off values were measured by electro-chemiluminescence immunoassay using Roche Cobas E411 Chemistry Analyzer for which commercial kits of Roche diagnostics were used as per the instructions of the manufacturer. It was observed that Difference in mean post infection antibodies level was statistically significant with higher cut off values in patient who had symptoms at time of being reported positive by PCR as compared to patient who were asymptomatic (p-value:0.04). We predicted using Kaplan Meir that female gender the probability of survival as 70% in with cut off values of 100, while a vertical drop up to less than 20% probability of survival was predicted in male gender. Hence female gender produces higher level of antibodies in early infections to confer immunity in COVID-19.

BACKGROUND: It is widely accepted that hypertension is a pro-inflammatory disease and that the immune system plays a vital role in mediating hypertensive outcomes, end organ damages . and modulation of hypertensive pathology [2]. Patient with MetS usually present increased levels of C-reaktive protein (CRP) wich is a prototypic marker of inflammation [5], however the data of the influence of incresed levels of CRP on the control of the aterial hypertension in patients with MetS, are scarce. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine the incresed CRP levels influence on the control of the aterial hypertension in patients with MetS. METHODS: We conducted a multicenter observational cross-sectional study. The study population recruited from a coule of outpatient clinic between june 2018 and june 2019. The population study consisted of 420 patients with MetS aged ≥ 18 years, divided in two groups:211 with level of CRP>3mg/l , and 209 participans with CRP level <3mg/l. RESULTS: Among those with CRP level > 3mg/l(N=211) controlled BP according to evidence and current guidelines, was achieved in 23.6% of participans, whereas among those with CRP level <3mg/l(N=209) controlled BP was achived in 48.3%; p=0.000). There was independent association of CRP levels >3mg/l with uncontrolled BP (OR=3.1, 95%CI 2.06 - 4.75). There were signifiacant association of uncontrolled BP with: uncontrolled glycemia (OR =1.4,95%CI 0.97-1.84); increased BMI (OR=4.4; 95%CI 3.02-4.05) and five risk factors for MetS.(OR=2.3, 95%CI 1.93-2.81). CONCLUSIONS: We think,we brought some good evidence,in our present study ,that patients with MetS and higher CRP level have a higher prevalence of unconrolled BP.
P53(Cp44), an Endogenous Human p53 Fragment Generated via M-Calpain-Mediated Cleavage Beyond Degradation
Authors: Albrecht Thomas , Chen Zhenping , C. Finnerty Celeste , J. Boor Paul
Published: November 2021

Endogenous fragments of p53 identified recently in human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-infected human lung fibroblasts, specifically a ~44-kDa N- terminal fragment referred to as p53(Cp44), have been shown to be generated via m-calpain cleavage. p53(Cp44) appeared to be tightly associated with a chromatin-rich fraction, and was stabilized by the proteasome inhibitor MG132, particularly in mock-infected cells. The N- terminal p53 fragments were also present in three human dermal fibroblast cell lines tested, including fibroblasts isolated from post-burn hypertrophic scar. Understanding the biological functions of these fragments in the regulation of physiological and pathological processes, and the mechanisms regulating their generation and degradation, may shed light on currently unrecognized aspects of p53 regulation and function, and may provide a pathway for drug discovery.

Colorectal cancer (CRC), which is also referred to colorectal adenocarcinoma, occurs when the growth of cells goes out of control in the colon or rectum. A number of histological colorectal carcinoma are listed, such as mucinous, signet ring cell, and moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. The present study included fifty tissue blocks (16 females and 34 males) of patient groups with CRC and thirty five tissue blocks of colon tissue (ulcerative colitis) which were used as control group. The mean age of patients group was 51.44±16.67 years. The majority of patients with colonic carcinoma were above the age of 40, accounting for 80%, while 20% of cases were below the age of 40 years. A recto-sigmoid location is the most common site for colonic tumors accounting for 60%. Grade of tumor was well differentiated in 56%, and the following features were observed: The tissue appears with multi-layering, back to back arrangement (little intervening stroma), loss of polarity, loss of goblet cells, and invasion of stroma and presence of nuclear criteria of malignancy: hyperchromatism, high N/C ratio visible nucleoli and abnormal mitosis. The present results also showed that in grade I lesion, most of tumor retains glandular pattern, moderately differentiated in 28%, and tumor is nearly equally composed of glandular and solid patterns. However the poorly differentiated was 16% with same cellular criteria of malignancy but almost all the tumor was composed of solid areas. The present findings divided the stage of tumor patients into: 22% stage I; 66% stage II, and 12% stage III.

Background and Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the demographic features, clinical manifestations, course of disease, and outcome of children with Influenza and Influenza complications. Methods: In the winter season -just before the COVID 19 outbreak- between October 2019 and March 2020, the cases with Influenza diagnosed by rt-PCR (real time polymerase chain reaction) requiring hospitalization retrospectively were evaluated with hospital records. Results: A total 36 children were hospitalized with Influenza virus infection. The most frequent presentations of the subjects were malaise and fever. Other clinical presentations consisted of vomitting (36.1%), abdominal pain (30.5%), myalgia (27.7%), diarrhea (25%), dry cough (19.4%), and arthralgia (11.1%). There were respiratory distress in 19 patients (52.7%) in our cohort. The most frequent underlying disease requiring hospitalization was neurological diseases. Conclusions and Recommendation: The Influenza infection was associated with a wide variety of clinical findings during the hospital admission in pediatric patients. Immunization programs for Influenza should be considered for all children aged > 6 months, and should be also targeted the pediatric population that likely to be hospitalized with predisposing medical conditions- particularly neurological- every influenza season. Encouraging the use of Influenza vaccines will provide a decrease in Influenza that have similar presentations of COVID-19.

The article examines the problems of constructivist understanding of education, the innovations, opportunities and limitations that the constructivist model of the pedagogical process offers. The aim of the work was to analyze the constructivist model of education and those innovations and prospects for understanding the modern educational process that the constructivist approach brings. Constructivism changes the view of teachers and other scientists and practitioners in their view of what is happening in the relations of people in education. Due to its controversial nature, the development of the ideas of constructivism in the context of the development of educational ideologies and technologies leads to the reconceptualization of the traditional model of education, and the constructionist model of education itself can and should become the object of systematic methodological, theoretical, empirical and applied research. Any of the educational approaches available now can be disclosed as an example of a constructivist model of education, the leading features of which are the dialogic nature of education, the focus on understanding the inner and outer world in dialogue with significant other people, the consideration of such a dialogue as a process of building a person's own life world and himself, as a creative "rediscovery" of the basic truths of human existence, as the adoption of socially and personally significant decisions in a situation of educational, professional, life choice.

This article studies different ways of learning. Behavioral, cognitive, constructivist learning, multiple learning styles, e-learning, and brain-based learning are interrelated with each other and teachers should ensure that all students should be involved in all types of learning styles to get learning outcomes. The Covid-19 pandemic has forced governments around the world to implement policies to limit face-to-face meetings with community activities. This makes community activities carried out virtually. It also happens in the education system, teaching and learning activities which are usually carried out in classes face to face, this time has to use the internet as a learning medium. E-learning environments create lessons interactive. Knowledge is integrated from many different sources when students are learning something. The result of this study by analyzed ways of learning is five learning approaches. The stages of learning approaches are student to be active, engaged in the learning process, increase previous knowledge, explore the situation, and be motivated. Nevertheless, the use of the internet for learning or e-learning also cannot be separated from various deficiency and emerging issues within the higher education context.

In the Republic of Kazakhstan, the most promising are kaolinite clays of the Alekseevsky deposit. For effective processing of clays, it is necessary to develop special methods of processing, since satisfactory results were not achieved when using standard methods of gravity processing. The article provides the results of studies of the effect of preliminary chemical activation on the yield of the kaolinite fraction during gravitational processing. Previously, the method of preliminary chemical activation of raw materials in a solution of sodium bicarbonate has proven itself well in the processing of various mineral raw materials. It is determined that as a result of preliminary chemical activation, changes in the phase composition occurred. The dependence of the yield of the kaolinite fraction on the temperature of chemical activation, duration, and the ratio of W:T and the concentration of the sodium bicarbonate solution. Based on the results obtained, a technology for the complex processing of kaolinite clays has been developed, which provides for the preliminary chemical activation of the feedstock at the beginning of the process, which will effectively isolate high-quality kaolinite and quartz products, which will significantly reduce the flow of materials entering for sintering. As a result of activation, the phase composition of the kaolinite fraction has changed: the percentage of the kaolinite fraction has decreased; new phases of muscovite and sodium aluminosilicate appeared; the amount of quartz increased.

The paper presents studies of the processing of spent copper electrolyte from the processing of non-ferrous metal scrap at a copper smelter in Kazakhstan. For the processing of the spent electrolyte, a stage-by-stage neutralization was carried out using zinc sublimates and potash. As a result of the first stage of neutralization with zinc sublimations to pH 4.7, a precipitate with a content of PbO 44.69 %; PO2 16.36 % was obtained. After processing the sediment with an alkaline solution, carbonization and melting at a temperature of 900 oC, metallic lead and tin-containing slag with a content of SnO2 of 16.36 % were obtained. As a result of the second stage of neutralization with potash to pH 7.1, a precipitate was obtained-with a CuO content of 76.45 %. After the third stage of neutralization with potash to pH 9.5, a precipitate with a content of NiO 27.63 % and ZnO 55.75 % was obtained. After treatment of the precipitate with a solution containing 100 g / dm3 KOH, a zinc-containing solution with a ZnO content of 225.0 g/dm3 and a precipitate were obtained, after calcination of which nickel oxide with a NiO content of 89.14 % was obtained.

The method of preliminary chemical activation of mineral raw materials was used in the conducted studies for the complex processing of pyritic slags. The influence of preliminary chemical activation of kaolinite clays of Alexeevsky deposit in the solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate on the separation of kaolinite and quartz fractions was studied. The temperature of 150 oC, the duration of 120 minutes, and the concentration of sodium bicarbonate solution of 120 g/dm3 should be considered the optimum mode of activation. As a result of activation, the phase composition of the kaolinite fraction changed: the percentage of kaolinite fraction decreased; new phases of muscovite and sodium aluminosilicate appeared; the amount of quartz increased.

Reading is a critical language skill that is likely to develop better in nonnative learners if they are provided text related to their own culture rather than the native or foreign culture. This study aimed to explore the influence of Pakistani short stories on the reading comprehension of Pakistani EFL learners of advanced level. A group of students of Advanced Diploma was taught reading skills with the help of three foreign and three Pakistani English short stories. They were administered tests on the basis of respective stories to study the difference in the development of reading comprehension. The result revealed a massive difference as the learners performed markedly better in the exercises based on the Pakistani short stories.

A simplified variant of the time finite element methods based on the shape functions of an axial finite bar
Authors: Nguyen Thanh Xuan , Tran Long Tuan
Published: November 2021

In the field of structural dynamics, the structural responses in the time domain are of major concern. There already exist many methods proposed previously including widely used direct time integration methods such as ones in the β-Newmark family, Houbolt’s method, and Runge-Kutta method. The time finite element methods (TFEM) that followed the well-posed variational statement for structural dynamics are found to bring about a superior accuracy even with large time steps (element sizes), when compared with the results from methods mentioned above. Some high-order time finite elements were derived with the procedure analogous to the conventional finite element methods. In the formulation of these time finite elements, the shape functions are like the ones for a (spatial) 2-order finite beam. In this article, a simplified variant for the TFEM is proposed where the shape functions similar to the ones for a (spatial) axial bar are used. The accuracy in the obtained results of some numerical examples is found to be comparable with the accuracy in the previous results.
Local buckling of thin-walled circular hollow section under uniform bending
Authors: Cuong Bui Hung
Published: November 2021

This article presents a semi-analytical finite strip method based on Marguerre’s shallow shell theory and Kirchhoff’s assumption. The formulated finite strip is used to study the buckling behavior of thin-walled circular hollow sections (CHS) subjected to uniform bending. The shallow finite strip program of the present study is compared to the plate strip implemented in CUFSM4.05 program for demonstrating the accuracy and better convergence of the former. By varying the length of the CHS, the signature curve relating buckling stresses to half-wave lengths is established. The minimum local buckling point with critical stress and corresponding critical length can be found from the curve. Parametric studies are performed to propose approximative expressions for calculating the local critical stress and local critical length of steel and aluminum CHS.
Investigation of the effects of opening size and location on punching shear resistance of flat slabs using Abaqus
Authors: Trung Nguyen Tuan , Tung Pham Thanh
Published: November 2021

The paper presents a numerical study on the effects of opening size and location on punching shear resistance of flat slabs without drop panels and shear reinforcement using ABAQUS. The study proposes an ABAQUS model that is enable to predict the punching shear resistance of flat slabs with openings. The model is validated well with the experimental data in literature. Using the validated numerical model, the effects of opening size and location on the punching shear resistance of flat slabs are then investigated, and the numerical results are compared with those predicted by ACI 318-19 and TCVN 5574:2018. The comparison between experimental and numerical results shows that the ABAQUS model is reliable. The punching shear resistances calculated by ACI 318-19 and TCVN 5574:2018 with different opening sizes and locations are agreed well to each other, since the design principles between two codes now are similar.
Calculation of reinforced concrete beams’ shear strengths at ambient and fire conditions according to Russian design standards
Authors: Thang Nguyen Truong , Kien Nguyen Trung
Published: November 2021

This paper introduces general principles and gives analytical clarifications of the stirrups design at ambient condition and shear strength analysis for reinforced concrete (RC) beams at fire condition according to Russian design standards SP 63.13330.2012 (SP 63) and SP 468.1325800.2019 (SP 468), respectively. The calculation method on inclined cross section (ISC) and the simplified approach on normal cross section (NSC) are clarified and developed so that the stirrups configuration can be directly designed at ambient condition and the deterioration of shear strength when the beam is exposed to ISO 834 fire can also be explicitly determined. Calculation results of a case study conducted in the paper show that although there are certain gaps between the designed results of stirrups using ICS and NCS methods, the fire resistances based on shear strength criteria obtained from the two methods are similar. With the systematic nature between the design standards TCVN 5574:2018, SP 63 and SP 468, it is rational to use SP 468 as a reference for RC structural fire design that is compatible with QCVN 06:2021/BXD and TCVN 5574:2018, before any advanced international code is decided to be applied in Vietnam.
