30th NATIONAL SCIENTIFIC PRACTICAL CONFERENCE “NATURAL SCIENCE EDUCATION IN A COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL – 2024”: CONFERENCE REVIEW
Authors: Lamanauskas Vincentas
Published: October 2024

2024 is a truly special year. This is the year of the Jubilee Scientific and Practical Conference "Natural Science Education in a Comprehensive School - 2024". And this was the thirtieth conference. Throughout this time, science, engineering and technology have developed at a significant and rapid pace. The theory and practice of science education has undoubtedly evolved, including the strategies and practices of science education. The importance of science and technology education is unquestioned, but its orientation towards competences, with an emphasis on learning through science and the linking/integration of science with other subjects, remains.
The 30th Conference continued an already established practice. The conference took place over two days. The two-day conference focused on science and technology education, which has recently become a priority in society and is likely to remain so in the future. The 30th Conference started on 25 April. On the eve of the Conference, an informal round table discussion on "Education issues" was organised.
The importance of the cultural programme should also be mentioned. On the first day, at the end of the conference, participants had the opportunity to get to know Plunge better. The most important places of the city were visited. The staff of the Plunge Tourism Information Centre organised a sightseeing tour of Plunge. The city centre, the central square and the church were visited. Participants had a unique opportunity to walk around the Plunge Smart Park and to visit the Plunge Manor House, or Mykolas Oginskis Palace, one of the most beautiful monuments of 19th-century Lithuanian architecture.
The plenary session of the conference provided a retrospective of all the conferences. Thirty years of really great organisational, managerial, publishing and other work. A total of 30 conference proceedings were published. It is estimated that a total of 677 papers were published, with a total page count of 4787. If all the pages were put together, it would be a single publication 281 mm thick. This is a really big work, a really good repository of scientific and didactic-methodological research and work.
The work of this 30th conference has been recorded and is freely available on our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoZNO1c3zi72-RxbETp4AmMQ8Lz2C-QPC). Most conference reports were presented in the form of articles and published in the conference proceedings.

Stress Management and Problems in Correlation Mathematics and English along with Academic Achievement
Authors: Dr. Dilip Shivane
Published: October 2024

According to Edworthy (2000) Stress can result both physical and mental ill health and loss of sense of achievement. These changes by their very nature will impair the quality of that individual life. One may wonder that stress can adversely affect the students' achievement as it is proved in researches. Students feel difficult in school subjects. This study requires special ability and intelligence. Some students will select mathematics and English forcibly, to meet the demands on them. As a result they develop phobia towards mathematics and English as it decides ones career. Unlike the past, comparatively more number of students are completing higher secondary stage and selecting mathematics and English at higher levels. They concentrate totally on their studies by giving less importance to other activities for better results. All these factors are responsible for stress among students

Published: October 2024

Agriculture is the backbone of many economies and plays a critical role in global food security. However, with growing challenges posed by climate change, erratic weather patterns, and soil degradation, the need for precise and predictive techniques in agriculture has never been more urgent. This paper focuses on the application of machine learning (ML) techniques in soil fertility prediction and weather forecasting, two critical components that can significantly impact agricultural productivity. By analysing soil properties, such as moisture, pH, and nutrient levels, and combining them with accurate weather predictions, our system aims to help farmers make informed decisions regarding crop selection, irrigation scheduling, and pest control. Leveraging algorithms like Naive Bayes for soil classification and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for weather prediction, we provide a comprehensive solution for precision agriculture. This system not only enhances productivity but also promotes sustainable agricultural practices by optimizing resource use and reducing wastage
Il Destino spiegato attraverso la Biofisica Informazionale: il libero Arbitrio è solo un’illusione. Il Metodo Cosmo come Percorso per la Consapevolezza del Destino personale e il raggiungimento della Salutogesi.

Published: October 2024

Questo articolo ha l’intenzione di fornire una base scientifica attendibile per la spiegazione di come la vita sia mossa da un Destino, inteso come un filo conduttore che coerentemente ci muove all’interno di un binario attraverso cui si può comprendere il senso della propria esistenza e degli eventi stessi che vi si manifestano. Questa spiegazione a cui noi tenderemo ci porta inoltre la consapevolezza dell’illusione della scelta e quindi dell’inesistenza del libero arbitrio, ma comunque della sua funzione intrinseca legata alla Consapevolezza. Vedremo infine come il Metodo Cosmo possa essere funzionale per la scoperta del nostro Destino e quindi per portare in noi una vita maggiormente soddisfacente favorendo così la Salutogenesi.
Understanding Television Texts
Authors: Wickham Phil
Published: October 2024

Understanding Television Texts sets out the debates that define television and examines how they can be applied to the study of particular programmes.

How do we respond to what we watch and what affects those responses? Production and consumption contexts are examined, but also the meanings in the texts themselves. In addition, there is a consideration of how technology and social change is transforming our experience of TV. These themes are explored through a range of examples of TV programmes and shows – fact and fiction, contemporary and historical, British and American.

A wide range of case studies are considered – from Planet Earth to Dr Who, The Sopranos to The Apprentice.

Understanding Television Texts emphasises the importance of the active viewer. TV shows are not passive objects that just ‘reflect’ social attitudes; when we watch them we create meanings and make judgments. This book encourages students to consider and develop their own responses, as well as offering an accessible critical overview that equips them for this task.
Remembering British Television
Authors: Gorton Kristyn , Garde-Hansen Joanne
Published: October 2024

This original book asks how, in an age of convergence, when ‘television’ no longer means a box in the corner of the living room that we sit and watch together, do we remember television of the past? How do we gather and archive our memories? Kristyn Gordon and Joanne Garde-Hansen explore these questions through first person interviews with TV producers, curators and archivists, and case studies of popular television series and fan communities such as Cold Feet and Doctor Who. Their discussion takes in museum exhibitions, popular televison nostalgia programming and ‘vintage’ TV websites.

Published: October 2024

Network intrusion systems are inevitable in protecting enterprise assets and improving cybersecurity. The research community is always on the lookout for new approaches to improve network intrusion detection. Network intrusion systems with deep learning models are the major advancement in this field. There are many varieties of network intrusion detection systems with deep learning models that are used nowadays. Even though researchers are investing heavily in their efforts on developing better network intrusion detection systems, rapid advancement in network intrusion attempts warrant further studies in this area. In this study, I am trying to explore the impact of the different most common feature selection methods on the performance of the LSTM-based network intrusion detection system. Benchmark network intrusion dataset UNSW-NB15 was explored for this study. This study explored 8 types of LSTM models in combination with different feature selection methods. The outcome of the study was very interesting as the LSTM model without applying any feature selection method, outperformed other combinations of models.

Published: October 2024

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of supplementation of cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) cladodes, Acacia saligna, wheat bran and cotton seed cake on growth, digestibility, intake and carcass characteristics of goats. A randomized complete block design was used in the experiment with 24 yearling central highland goats with an initial body weight of 15.6 - 16.1kg. The same amount of grass hay (GH) + 150 gDM/head/day wheat bran (WB) was given to all animals. The experimental diets consisted of 80 cotton seed cake (CSC) as treatment 1 (T1), 45CSC +160 cactus cladodes (CC) as T2, 45CSC+ 80 Acacia saligna (AS) as T3, and 45CSC+80CC+40AS as T4 (gram dry matter: DM, per day per goat), Data were gathered on the goats' growth, digestibility, intake, and carcass of major organs, edible and nonedible organs. The consumption of dry matter and organic matter was higher in goats fed T2 and T4 than in the T1 group. The DM, organic matter (OM) and crude protein (CP) digestibility, average daily body weight gain and feed conversion efficiency were higher in T4 and T3 goats when compared to T2 goats. Goats fed on T4 had higher hot carcass weight and dressing percentage on slaughter body weight basis than T2, T3, and T1 supplemented goats. Generally, the experimental diets improved goats’ performance in descending order (T4 > T3 >T1 >T2). Supplementation of T4 (replacement of 35 g DM of cotton seed cake per day by 40g of Acacia saligna and 80g of cactus cladodes on dry matter bases) could be recommended to improve goat performance.

Published: October 2024

The aim of the present study was to determine the metabolic profile of Holstein-Friesian cows in the postpartum period, as well as the effect of season on metabolic profile. The postpartum period is essential in the reproductive life of high yielding dairy cows because of its impact on future gravidity. This study included 60 cows up to 15 days after parturition, aged 2-8 years (the largest number of cows was between 3 and 5 years old) with no apparent clinical problems. Cows were sampled in summer season (n=30) and winter season (n=30). Parameters of metabolic profile were determined as follows: glucose, albumin, total protein, cholesterol, bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), urea, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. Statistical differences were considered significant at the p<0.05. Present research showed that all investigated parameters were within a reference range for cattle. Impact of season sampling was determined for glucose, albumin, total protein, cholesterol and phosphorus, while bilirubin, calcium, magnesium, urea as well as activities of ALT, AST and LDH were unaffected by the season of sampling. In conclusion, metabolic status is affected by the season and examination during the postpartum period can provide valuable information of cows' health status, in order to diagnose and moreover prevent postpartum diseases.

Published: October 2024

Leucocytozoon species are avian haemoparasites with economic impacts on poultry production. The present study investigates the presence of Leucocytozoon in chickens of Al Muthanna province, Iraq. Eighty one blood samples were collected from chickens in Samawah, Rumaitha, Warkaa, and Kidhre regions to examine the prevalence of Leucocytozoon. An infection rate of 6.1% was found among chicken breeds. The study highlighted that the main symptoms of infection were decreased egg production, anemia, and loss of appetite. Notably, infection was more prevalent in the Rumaitha, Khidr and Samawah regions, while no cases were reported in Warka. Treatment methods included primaquine and pyrimethamine alongside care to manage the condition effectively. It is important to mention that the observed prevalence rate in chickens was lower compared to studies on birds in Iraq, where an overall blood parasite prevalence of 15% was documented. This difference could be attributed to factors like habitat variations, vector presence, or differing susceptibility among bird species. Our suggestion for future work can be the application of new programs for diagnosing and controlling parasites in chickens.

Published: October 2024

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into customer experience optimization holds transformative potential for advancing financial inclusion in underserved communities. This review explores how AI-driven tools can enhance personalized banking services, streamline customer engagement, and improve access to financial products for individuals who are often marginalized by traditional banking systems. By leveraging AI algorithms, financial institutions can analyze vast amounts of customer data to identify unique needs, preferences, and behaviors, enabling the delivery of tailored financial solutions. These AI-powered systems can also automate routine tasks, such as account management and customer support, ensuring that banking services are more accessible, efficient, and cost-effective. A key benefit of AI in this context is its ability to overcome barriers such as geographic isolation and lack of financial literacy, which often hinder financial inclusion. AI-driven chatbots, for instance, can provide 24/7 support in local languages, guiding users through complex financial processes. Moreover, AI enables the creation of personalized financial literacy programs, tailored to the specific needs of underserved populations, fostering a deeper understanding of financial products and encouraging greater participation in the financial system. Additionally, AI-powered fraud detection systems enhance trust and security in financial transactions, a critical factor in encouraging participation from communities traditionally skeptical of formal banking systems. The use of predictive analytics further supports the development of micro-loans and credit products suited to the financial realities of low-income individuals, reducing default rates and improving access to capital. In conclusion, AI-powered customer experience optimization offers a powerful strategy for financial institutions seeking to expand their reach into underserved communities. By providing personalized, efficient, and secure banking experiences, AI can significantly contribute to financial inclusion efforts, driving economic empowerment and reducing inequalities. This study highlights the critical role of AI in reshaping financial services and creating inclusive opportunities for underserved populations.

Published: October 2024

Abstract. Continental shelf sediments contain some of the largest stocks of organic carbon (OC) on Earth and play a vital role in influencing the global carbon cycle. Quantifying how much OC is stored in shelf sediments and determining its residence time is key to assessing how the ocean carbon cycle will be altered by climate change and possibly human activities. Spatial variations in terrestrial carbon stocks are well studied and mapped at high resolutions, but our knowledge of the distribution of marine OC in different seafloor settings is still very limited, particularly in dynamic and spatially variable shelf environments. This lack of knowledge reduces our ability to understand and predict how much and for how long the ocean sequesters CO2. In this study, we use high-resolution multibeam echosounder (MBES) data from the Eastern Shore Islands offshore Nova Scotia (Canada), combined with OC measurements from discrete samples, to assess the distribution of OC content in seafloor sediments. We derive four different spatial estimates of organic carbon stock: (i) OC density estimates scaled to the entire study region assuming a homogenous seafloor, (ii) interpolation of OC density estimates using empirical Bayesian kriging, (iii) OC density estimates scaled to areas of soft substrate estimated using a high-resolution classified substrate map, and (iv) empirical Bayesian regression kriging of OC density within areas of estimated soft sediment only. These four distinct spatial models yielded dramatically different estimates of standing stock of OC in our study area of 223 km2: 80 901, 58 406, 16 437 and 6475 t of OC, respectively. Our study demonstrates that high-resolution mapping is critically important for improved estimates of OC stocks on continental shelves and for the identification of carbon hotspots that need to be considered in seabed management and climate mitigation strategies.

Published: October 2024

Abstract. Seasonal and regional changes in carbon dynamics in the Wadden Sea, the world's largest intertidal sand and mud flats system, were analyzed to quantify the influence of biogeochemical processes (CaCO3 dissolution and formation, photosynthesis, respiration) on the carbonate system at the land-sea interface. With a focus on the East Frisian Wadden Sea and the highly turbid Ems River estuary, we successfully implemented the proxy of the difference between total alkalinity (TA) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) ([TA-DIC]), as well as the calculated ΔTAexcess, ΔDICexcess and ΔTAP to identify how ongoing biogeochemical processes regulate the carbonate system dynamics and the land-sea interface. In spring, a phytoplankton bloom with high biological activity was indicated by (a) supersaturated oxygen (up to 180 in % saturation), (b) elevated chlorophyll a (up to 151.7 µg L-1) and (c) low pCO2 (as low as 141.3 µatm). As a result, nitrate (NO3-, 19.29 ± 18.11 µmol kg-1) and DIC (159.4 ± 125.4 µmol kg- 1) decreased, whereas TA slightly increased (9.1 ± 29.2 µmol kg-1) in the intertidal regions from March 2022 to May, most likely through nitrate assimilation. The regression analysis of the differences in NO3− concentrations (ΔNO3−) against the differences in DIC (ΔDIC) between March and May 2022 yielded a slope of 6.90 which is close to the Redfield ratio of 6.625 for the C:N ratio of freshly produced phytoplankton biomass. In summer, high seasonal TA values (up to 2400 µmol kg-1) in the Western part of the East Frisian Wadden Sea, along with positive ΔTAexcess at 73.3 % of all stations, indicated production of TA during this season in the intertidal regions, complemented the DIC dynamics. The increase of TA enhances the coastal ocean’s ability to absorb and store CO2 through buffering, chemical equilibrium, biological calcification and the carbonate pump, and suggests that the intertidal regions can be a source of total alkalinity to the coastal regions during the warm productive seasons. The study highlights the complex relationships of these factors, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding of regional and seasonal variations to better assess the role of coastal systems in carbon cycling, storage and climate regulation.

Abstract. The ocean is the planet’s largest carbon reservoir and plays a crucial role in regulating atmospheric CO2 levels, especially in the face of climate change. In coral reef ecosystems, understanding the carbonate system is critical for predicting and mitigating the impact of ocean acidification on these vulnerable marine ecosystems, especially as atmospheric CO2 concentrations continue to rise. This study measured pCO2 over space and time in Nanwan Bay, a coral reef ecosystem in southern Taiwan, to identify factors that influence its variation. The results showed that mean surface water pCO2 values varied seasonally, with values of 393.7 (±10.8), 406.3 (±16.1), 399.2 (±18.6), and 366.9 (±14.5) μatm in spring, summer, fall, and winter, respectively. These seasonal mean differences (ΔpCO2) relative to atmospheric pCO2 were 7.7 (±10.8), 29.3 (±16.1), 21.2 (±18.6), and -16.1 (±14.5) µatm, respectively. These findings suggest that the Nanwan Bay is a highly dynamic coral reef ecosystem, exhibiting both spatial and seasonal variability in carbon exchange. The carbonate system parameters of the surface water in this high-biodiversity, sub-tropical marine ecosystem was influenced not only by seasonal temperature variation but also by vertical mixing, intermittent upwelling, and biological effects.

Abstract. Global warming is a major threat to marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, with consequences that are yet largely unknown. To frame these consequences, we need to understand how marine ecosystems respond to warming and related environmental changes. Ecosystem models have proven to be a valuable tool in this respect, but their projections vary considerably. A major limitation in current ecosystem models may be that they largely ignore evolutionary processes, which nonetheless can be relevant on the simulated time scales. In addition, ecosystem models are usually fit to contemporary data and used predictively afterwards, without further validation that they are equally applicable to past (and by inference, future) scenarios. A promising approach to validate evolutionary ecosystem models are biological archives such as natural sediments, which “collect” and archive long-term ecosystem changes. Since the ecosystem changes present in sediment records are affected by evolution, evolution needs to be represented in ecosystem models not only to realistically simulate the future but also the sediment record itself. The sediment record, in turn, can provide the required constraints on long-term evolutionary changes, along with information on past environmental conditions, biodiversity, and relative abundances of taxa. Here, we present a framework to make use of such information to validate evolutionary ecosystem models and improve model projections of future ecosystem changes. Using the example of phytoplankton, key players in marine systems, we review existing literature and discuss (I) which data can be derived from ancient sedimentary archives, (II) how we can integrate these data into evolutionary ecosystem models to improve their projections of climate-driven ecosystem changes, and (III) future perspectives and aspects that remain challenging.
The formation and ventilation of an oxygen minimum zone in a simple model for latitudinally alternating zonal jets

Abstract. An advection–diffusion model coupled to a simple dynamical ocean model is used to illustrate the formation and ventilation of an oxygen minimum zone. The advection–diffusion model carries a passive tracer with a source at the western boundary and a Newtonian damping term to mimic oxygen consumption. The dynamical model is a non-linear one-and-a-half-layer reduced-gravity model. The latter is forced by an annually oscillating mass flux confined to the near-equatorial band that, in turn, leads to the generation of mesoscale eddies and latitudinally alternating zonal jets at higher latitudes. The model uses North Atlantic geometry and develops a tracer minimum zone remarkably similar in location to the observed oxygen minimum zone in the eastern tropical North Atlantic (ETNA). This is despite the absence of wind forcing for a subtropical gyre and the shadow zone predicted by the ventilated thermocline theory. Although the model is forced only at the annual period, the model nevertheless exhibits decadal and multidecadal variability in its spun-up state. The associated trends are comparable to observed trends in oxygen within the ETNA oxygen minimum zone. Notable exceptions are the multi-decadal decrease in oxygen in the lower-oxygen minimum zone and the sharp decrease in oxygen in the upper-oxygen minimum zone between 2006 and 2013.

Los estándares de belleza en los distintos lugares del mundo responden a diferentes modelos. En los campamentos de refugiados saharauis (CRS), el ideal de belleza de la mujer responde a la obesidad y a la tez blanca. Para conseguirlo, las personas realizan prácticas que ponen en riesgo su salud. El objetivo de la presente investigación es conocer cuáles son las sustancias y prácticas que las mujeres saharauis llevan a cabo para alcanzar el estándar de belleza predominante en su contexto y cuáles son las repercusiones sobre la salud de las mismas. Se ha diseñado una investigación cualitativa fenomenológica descriptiva en la que la información fue recabada de un total de 70 mujeres (de las provincias de Dajla y El Aaiún) a través de entrevistas individuales y grupos focales que se grabaron en audio y transcribieron. Se realizó análisis del discurso. Como resultados, se destaca que las mujeres saharauis, motivadas por el estándar de belleza en su entorno, refirieron utilizar o conocer a mujeres que usaban productos decolorantes como corticoides tópicos, peróxido de hidrógeno e hidroquinona para aclarar la piel, y también antihistamínicos y corticoides orales para aumentar de peso.
