The diagnosed density of corrosion was diagnosed on the outer surface of the underground metal pipeline, depending on the distance L to the compressor station, taking into account the influence of soil, defects, thermal impulses, mechanical vibrational vibrations and corrosion fatigue. The basic relations of the mathematical model for the description of thermal processes and mechanical vibrational vibrations that lead to low-cycle corrosion fatigue in the pipe are proposed. It is noted that the measurement of corrosion currents and polarization potentials at the boundary of the metal pipeline–soil can be detected by devices of types BVS (noncontact current meter), VPP-M (polarization potential meter) and equipment for for diagnostic inspections and monitoring of corrosion protection of underground pipelines (UGPL). Consider for compare the distribution of corrosion current densities and accidents for the pipeline at a distance of L=0..30 km from the compressor station. It is found that the correlation coefficient between them KLD=0,76 is not enough to establish causation. A difference is formed in which the corresponding corrosion current density distribution for a non-oscillating temperature background is subtracted from the total corrosion current density distribution in the range L=0…30 km. In this case, the part of the distribution that is related to the frequency of thermal pulses is highlighted.The correlation coefficient of KWD0.92 is established between the part of the distribution that is related to the frequency of thermal pulses and the distribution of accidents for the pipeline at a distance of L=0…30 km from the compressor station. Based on KWD, it can be argued that the causal relationship between the distribution of heat pulses and accidents is quite plausible. The noted information is important for improving the methods of operation of compressor stations of oil and gas enterprises, taking into account changes in the frequency of heat pulses with regard to improving the quality of by-laws on labor protection regarding gas supply systems.

This study aims to conduct a comparison regarding the process of solving the fuzzy triangular initial value problem (FTIVP). The series solution of this problem is acquired through the reproducing kernel theory (RKT), although there have been past studies on FTIVP, there is no specialist study to compare solutions for the definition of different fractional operator. The comparisons where located through the difference in the use of an operator in the process of solution by using Riemann-Liouville integral operator (RLIO) and then by using Caputo fractional derivative operator (CFDO). Algorithm was presented to validate the method of solution and to view the effect of changing the operators on the solution behaviour in the two cases. During this comparison, the effectiveness of RKT was cleared and the notion of difference between using RLIO and CFDO were fixedly identified. Applications: The results identified in this research pronounced active difference in the behavior of errors, CDFO variations, and the behavior of error in favour of RLIO.

Rotavirusinė ir norovirusinė infekcijos – aktuali vaikų sveikatos problema Lietuvoje ir pasaulyje. Šios in­fekcijos vaikams gali sukelti sunkią dehidrataciją ir elektrolitų pusiausvyros sutrikimą, šoką, širdies ne­pakankamumą, traukulius, viduriavimą, kuris gali išsivystyti į lėtinį. Paplitusi nuomonė, kad nepakan­kamos tėvų žinios apie rotavirusinės ir noravirusinės infekcijų priežastis, plitimo būdus, prevenciją didina šių infekcijų riziką. Tyrimo tikslas – įvertinti tėvų žinias apie vaikų rotavirusinę ir norovirusinę infekci­jas. Tyrimas atliktas 2019 m. lapkričio-gruodžio mė­nesiais pirminės asmens sveikatos priežiūros centre. Atrankos būdas – tikslinė tikimybinė atranka. Atran­kos kriterijai: tėvai, auginantys kūdikius ir ankstyvojo amžiaus vaikus, reguliariai besilankantys pas šeimos gydytoją ir savanoriškai sutikę dalyvauti tyrime. Ty­rime dalyvavo 50 tėvų (n=50). Tyrimo priemonė – keturių dalių anketa. Jos pirmoje dalyje pateikti klau­simai įvertinti tėvų bendrąsias žinias apie žarnyno infekcijas, antroje – apie dažniausius rotavirusinės ir norovirusinės infekcijų požymius, trečioje – apie vaikų vakcinaciją ir slaugą, ketvirtoje – apie tėvams teikiamos informacijos pakankamumą. Atlikta anoni­minė apklausa. Duomenys apdoroti Microsoft Office Excel kompiuterine programa.
Tyrimo rezultatai parodė, kad dažniausias žarnyno infekcijų perdavimo būdas – artimas kontaktas su ligoniu. Vaikai dažniausiai užsikrečia ugdymo įstai­gose. Dauguma tėvų (n=34; 68 proc.) rotavirusine ir norovirusine infekcijomis buvo užsikrėtę ir patys, ir kiti šeimos nariai. Trečdalis (n=16; 32 proc.) – ne­užsikrėtė. Daugiau negu pusei tėvų (n=26; 52 proc.) neužtenka informacijos apie rotavirusinę ir noroviru­sinę infekcijas. Tėvų žinių lygis apie žarnyno infek­cijas, jų plitimą, sergančių vaikų slaugos ypatumus, vaikų asmens higieną bei vakcinacijos reikšmę nėra pakankamas.

Deterministic Gibbs Sampling for Data Association in Multi-Object Tracking
Authors: Wolf Laura M. , Baum Marcus
Published: June 2020

In multi-object tracking multiple objects generate multiple sensor measurements, which are used to estimate the objects’ state simultaneously. Since it is unknown from which object a measurement originates, a data association problem
arises. Considering all possible associations is computationally infeasible for large numbers of objects and measurements. Hence, approximation methods are applied to compute the most relevant associations. Here, we focus on deterministic methods, since multi object tracking is often applied in safety-critical areas. In this work we show that Herded Gibbs sampling, a deterministic version of Gibbs sampling, applied in the Labeled Multi Bernoulli filter, yields results of the same quality as randomized Gibbs sampling while having the same computational complexity. We conclude that it is a suitable deterministic alternative to randomized Gibbs sampling and could be a promising approach for other data association problems.
An overview of allergic and bacterial conjunctivitis
Authors: Schellack N , Shirindza N , Mokoena T
Published: June 2020

Conjunctivitis affects many people across the globe, significantly disturbing the quality of life of the people who are affected. Conjunctivitis can be divided into infectious and noninfectious causes. Viruses and bacteria are the most common infectious causes. Some of the most commonly diagnosed allergic diseases include atopic dermatitis, rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis and sinusitis. Other conditions, such as eosinophilic oesophagitis, the prevalence of which is on the rise, are being diagnosed across all continents, except for Africa. Allergic conjunctivitis is an allergic disease characterised by inflammation of the conjunctiva caused by airborne allergens; it presents as itching, excessive lacrimation, discharge and pink eye. Usually it is associated with other allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma. Allergic conjunctivitis is further divided into acute, seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC) and perennial allergic conjunctivitis (PAC). Bacterial conjunctivitis, caused by bacterial and viral pathogens, may include three major categories: hyperacute bacterial conjunctivitis, acute conjuncitivis and chronic conjunctivitis. The diagnosis is primarily clinical. This article provides an overview of these conditions and their current management options.

Making Study Abroad a Winning Proposition for Pre-Tenure Faculty
Authors: Moseley William G.
Published: June 2020

Assuming that junior faculty have something to contribute to study abroad, how might colleges and universities increase the participation of pre-tenure faculty in study abroad programs in a way that both enhances the student experience and furthers the goals of these faculty members? While much has been written about the positive aspects of study abroad for students (e.g., Dwyer and Peters 2004; Hadis 2005), there is smaller literature on the benefits of study abroad for faculty (e.g., Goodwin and Nacht 1991; Hornig 1995), and especially junior faculty. Using a Macalester College-Pomona College-Swarthmore College sponsored program at the University of Cape Town as a case study, this article outlines how study abroad opportunities may be leveraged in support of the research imperatives of junior faculty, as a mechanism for encouraging student-faculty research collaborations, as a vehicle for exploring collaboration with non-US faculty, and (most obviously) a joyful opportunity for sharing one’s place-based knowledge.

By utilizing the Access Assessment Survey to consider ways to meet the needs of students with various functional differences, U.S. institutions and overseas providers can identify the program modifications and design changes required to benefit a variety of student learning and living needs. In order for study abroad to be an integral part of the U.S. student’s academic experience and, in this process, help to create informed citizens, it must be accessible to many different learners. Identifying and addressing the needs of students with functional differences is an important step in this direction.
Students’ Self-Reported Changes in Intercultural Knowledge and Competence Associated with Three Undergraduate Science Experiences
Authors: Bender Carol , Wright David , Lopatto David
Published: June 2020

University mission statements increasingly emphasize internationalization and employers increasingly seek graduates with experience in the global arena. This focus on international experience has led to the development of a variety of models for study abroad, including research abroad programs. To assess the value of an international research experience for undergraduates, in this article, we examined the impact of two international programs on their respective participants and compared these to the gains achieved by students participating in research on their home campus. Utilizing what Meyer-Lee and Evans (2007) classify as direct impacts on participants for study and research abroad programs, we assess three factors: disciplinary knowledge, intercultural competence, and social growth. We describe the gains reported by students in each program in each of these areas.
Another Mishegas: Global Citizenship
Authors: Woolf Michael
Published: June 2020

This article presents an essay about the idea of the global citizen, which has accumulated around the work of international education professionals and practitioners. The propagation of this notion derives from, essentially, two sources: it is a recurrent claim made by study abroad programs and it is used also a means of self-description.The objective is to explore some of the assumptions behind the phrase which, ultimately, do a disservice to the credible aspirations embedded in international education. The phrase when used in a personal context usually describes someone who is, or who aspires to be, broad minded, intellectually engaged with other cultures, aware of the interdependence of nations, committed to tolerance and understanding of difference, and so on. That describes, I will argue, a good citizen. Shared beliefs in international values impose no rights or legal obligations. It is a voluntary, ethical assertion not a form of membership which is one necessary component of citizenship. The global adjective is obfuscation (or, as Leo Rosten might say, a mishegas).

Authors: Franklin Kimberly
Published: June 2020

The research on which this article is based explores the logic that study abroad has long-term impact on participants’ professional development. It investigates the professional outcomes and benefits of studying abroad as perceived by study abroad alumni ten years following their undergraduate experience. Through the use of a survey, phone interviews, and email follow-up, study abroad participants were questioned about the skills, knowledge, and self-awareness they acquired and maintained from their study abroad experience.  Inquiries were made into how and if these acquisitions proved professionally applicable, influenced career paths, and contributed to success.

Findings confirm that gains resulting from studying abroad are professionally applicable in the form of intercultural competencies, foreign language use, and personal growth. Evidence showed that a large majority of study abroad alumni gravitate toward a line of work with an international or multicultural dimension.  The experience increased competitiveness as a job applicant and led to professional opportunities.  The data further indicates that many alumni are influenced by their study abroad experience in choosing a career path.  With knowledge of these outcomes, this study aims to highlight the value of study abroad and support a socially and economically driven movement to increase study abroad opportunities.

Published: June 2020

In this work we approach the experience of the Los Cuchimilcos Museum. This was a work done with the directors, teachers and students of the Nuestra Señora del Buen Consejo School, located in the town of Breña (Lima, Peru). The purpose was to reopen a museum that existed in the place. Through three work stages, 15 participants between the ages of 11 and 14 jointly, playfully and dialogically carried out a museological and heritage process that resulted in the design and assembly of an archeology museum. In the process, we observed and understood other elements and dialogues in heritage and collective work, which led us to make significant considerations when working with culture, memory and the past. This work made us rethink and evaluate the ways on how the archaeological heritage is assumed and works; where most of the time adultcentrism prevails; as the best way to build knowledge and represent it museally. However, with the experience presented here, we observe that other ways of doing museology are also possible.
Keywords: children's museum; socio-museology; archeology; heritage.

Authors: Schneider Carolin
Published: June 2020

This article gives a brief overview of a recent library refurbishment project I have managed, hopefully encouraging others to think about how they can improve their own self-access spaces. My experience will illustrate that a major refurbishment project does not need to be daunting, and can have a big impact on student and staff experience, whether it is a new or established self-access centre.

This work reports a holistic tourism destination assessment of Bantayan Island (Philippines) using an expanded tourism area life cycle (TALC) model. The expanded TALC contains five evaluation areas: destination characteristics, marketing response, economic impact, social impact, and
environmental impact. Using various sources of evidence, findings suggest that Bantayan Island is positioned in the involvement stage of the TALC model. However, specific areas yield different results as the island is in the development–consolidation stage for destination characteristics,
involvement–development for marketing response, involvement for economic impacts, development for social impacts, and involvement for environmental impacts. With these findings, various policy insights for destination management are offered, such as establishing carrying capacity, embracing
a proactive marketing content and marketing analytics, managing resiliency of the locals and the tourism industry, integrating local culture in tourism packages, and reducing material and energy use and waste generation. These insights can be extended to other tourism destinations with similar
conditions, particularly in developing countries.
