Introduction: Chronic inflammatory diseases (CIDs) are lifelong complex disorders that affect quality of life, and this study aimed to summarize 5 years of experience with a multidisciplinary approach for these complex diseases as a result of medical council meetings.

Methods: Hospital-based, medical records review study was conducted. A total of 45 monthly medical council meetings were held between 2014-2019 with the participation of the rheumatology, dermatology and gastroenterology departments of the same university. Patients with complex conditions that were seen in each department's own polyclinic composed the council. This study only included 308 patients referred by the rheumatology group.

Results: Females made up 66.5 % of the 308 patients. The median age was 45 (19-77). PsA (psoriatic arthritis) and other SPA (spondyloarthritis) patients composed 49.3% of the total. A total of 68.18% of the patients were presented only to consult with the dermatology department. The most common reason for presenting patients was to discuss options for treatment (41.5%). The diagnosis of psoriasis was confirmed in 48 of 67 (71.6%) patients who presented with a pre-diagnosis. The diagnosis was changed in 34.74% of the patients, whereas the diagnosis became completely different in 11.36% of the patients.

Conclusions: Many patients with challenging diagnosis and treatment processes are encountered in daily practice. The combination of different disciplines makes it possible to provide more rapid and effective solutions. In this study, we aimed to emphasize the increasing importance of such multidisciplinary approaches

Published: January 2022

Background: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common monogenic autoinflammatory disease affecting mainly the ethnic groups of the Mediterranean basin. It has been reported that it can coexist with various systemic inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to obtain information on rheumatic diseases that accompany FMF and evaluate the relation between FMF and such diseases.

Methods: Eighty-four patients diagnosed with FMF and have rheumatic disease comorbidity in the rheumatology clinic between January 2018 - March 2020 were included in this study.

Results: The most common accompanying rheumatic disease was spondyloarthritis with 36 patients. Vasculitides was the second common disease accompanying FMF with 22, followed by connective tissue disease in 13, rheumatoid arthritis in 5, juvenile idiopathic arthritis in 4, gout in 3, and hidradenitis suppurativa in 1 patients. The most common MEFV mutation observed was M694V. There was no significant difference in demographic characteristics and clinical manifestations between M694V mutation types.

Conclusions: In this study, the relation between FMF and various rheumatic diseases was determined. Two new conditions, eosinophilic granulomatous polyangiitis, and scleroderma were detected. The associations may be just coincidental or an extension of the common underlying pathology. To be aware of this association is important to early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Background: SARS-CoV-2 is more contagious than other viruses among populations. Pregnant women

are particularly susceptible to respiratory pathogens and severe pneumonia.

Material and Methods: Thirty-two pregnant women who were diagnosed with COVID-19 disease by PCR test in our hospital between March 2020 and June 2020 were included in this study. Patients’ complaints, comorbid disorders, general physical conditions, radiological, laboratory characteristics, treatment results, and maternal and fetus health were recorded retrospectively.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 26.6 years. Pregnancy-induced hypertension was evident in 2 patients (6.2%), preeclampsia in 1 patient (3.1%), asthma in 1 patient (3.1%). Mostly detected complaints were cough (34.4%) and fatigue (31.3%). The most frequent abnormal laboratory findings were high fibrinogen level (80.9%), high D-dimer level (71.4%), high CRP level (58.1%). Lymphopenia was found in 15.6% of patients. The maternal and fetal mortality rate was 0%. The rate of improvement in laboratory values in response to the treatment was as follows respectively; sodium (92.3%), lymphocyte count (80%), LDH (62.5%), CRP (61.1%), D-dimer (25%). None of the patients developed spontaneous abortion. Cesarean delivery was performed in 15.6% of patients. 5 newborns were negative for the COVID-19 PCR test two times.

Conclusions: Mostly detected complaints in pregnancy patients with COVID-19 disease were cough and fatigue. While evaluating the treatment response, the improvement in sodium level may be more valuable than the improvement in acute phase reactants. The prognosis was quite good in mothers and children treated for this disease. The vertical transition of the disease could not be demonstrated.

Published: January 2022

Background: Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) accounts for 10-15% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Five-year overall survival is very poor in all subtypes except in ALK positive anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL). Patients in relapsed-refractory (RR) setting, treatment options are very limited, particularly in patients with poor performance or advanced age. Pralatrexate has been shown to improve remission and survival rates in RR PTCL. We aimed to evaluate the response rates, efficacy and adverse event profile of pralatrexate used in RR PTCL in our center.

Material and Methods: Patients followed in hematology department of Mersin University with the diagnosis of RRPTCL and treated with pralatrexate were included in study. Their demographical and clinical data were documented. Response to treatment with pralatrexate was evaluated.

Results: Median follow up time was 14 months and mean age at diagnosis was 50.6 (±17.9) in totally 11 patients. Patients received median 2 cycles of pralatrexate. Six patients were refractory to treatment while 5 patients achieved at least partial remission.

Conclusions: PTCL has the worst prognosis among all types of lymphomas. Cure rates are still low and new therapeutic options are needed.

Published: January 2022

Kent merkezlerinde sürdürülebilir ulaşım sağlayabilmek için toplu taşıma sistemini doğru planlanlamak gerekmektedir. Toplu taşıma sistemleri gelişen teknolojiye bağlı olarak çeşitliliğini arttırmış ve artan yolculuk talebine bağlı olarak optimum toplu taşıma sisteminin tercihi zorlaşmıştır. Son yıllarda monoray sisteminin raylı sistemlere alternatif olup olamayacağı da tartışma konusu olmuştur. Toplu taşımayla ilgili bir diğer tartışma konusu hangi sistemin optimum olduğunun hangi yöntemle karar verileceğidir. Toplu taşıma sistemlerine ekonomik değerlendirmeye göre karar verilmesi durumunda nitel kriterleri göz önünde bulundurmadığı için toplu taşımanın tüm etkilerini gösteremez ve bu durum toplu taşımadan istenilen düzeyde kullanımını engelleyebilir. Bu yüzden çok kriterli karar verme yöntemleri (ÇKKV), ekonomik değerlendirmede dikkate alınmayan nitel kriterleri de dikkate aldığı için toplu taşıma planlamasında yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Fakat sadece ÇKKV’ye göre sistem seçilmesi ulusal ekonomi ve işletmeci kurumu açısından finansal problemlere yol açabilir. Bu çalışmada monoray sisteminin raylı sistemlere alternatif olma durumu ÇKKV’den PROMETHEE yöntemi ve monoray fizibilite çalışmaları birlikte ele alınarak incelenmiştir. Alternatifler monoray ve raylı sistemlerden tramvay, hafif raylı sistem ve metro olarak belirlenmiştir. Kriterler dört ana kriter ve 11 alt kriterden oluşturulmuştur. Eskişehir için yapılan monoray fizibilite etüdü çalışmasının sonuçları da ele alınarak ÇKKV-ekonomik değerlendirme ilişkisi incelenmiştir. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre birinci sırada monoray sistemi yer almaktadır. Çalışmanın bulguları monoray sisteminin sahip olduğu üstün özellikleri sayesinde raylı sisteme alternatif bir sistem olabileceğini göstermektedir. Monoray PROMETHEE yönteminde en iyi sistem görünmesine rağmen yapılan monoray sistemi ekonomik değerlendirmesinde uygulanabilir sonuçlar alınmamıştır. Ekonomik değerlendirmelerde uygulanabilir sonuçlar veren ve birçok belediye/karar verici kurum tarafından tercih edilen tramvay sistemi ise PROMETHEE yönteminde en son sırada yer almaktadır. Bu bulgular ÇKKV veya ekonomik değerlendirmenin tek başına toplu taşıma sistemi seçimi ve planlanmasında yeterli olmayacağını, ikisinin beraber değerlendirilerek optimum sistemin seçilmesi gerektiğini gösterebilir.
Human Rights: An Unenforceable Concept
Authors: Tampubolon Manotar
Published: January 2022

This qualitative article analyzes the idea of human rights as inalienable rights. Long before modernity changed the world, it signed many agreements to establish human rights, particularly those governing the boundaries of the authority of leaders and citizens. Although moral assumptions are involved, they have no significant impact on its enforcement. Thus, along with its limited capability, the concept of human rights is solely a decorative element of the constitution and legal framework. Under such circumstances, recognizing the significance of understanding human rights needs an all-out concerted effort, mainly from a universal perspective and a legal enforcement effort. The study seeks to determine why human rights enforcement in Indonesia is ineffective and contrary to the concept of universal human rights. The author employs qualitative research with a descriptive method to address this issue. This research is also desk (library research), as I entirely based it on library data sources on library research. In addition, it employs literature related to the enforcement of Human Rights (HAM) from a legal perspective. This study concludes that human rights enforcement in Indonesia is weak because of flaws in the law and the state's lack of political will to enforce human rights and obligations. These changes include ensuring that the enforcement of human rights is absolute and not influenced by political perspectives and motivations and thus guarantees human freedom. The author suggests that establishing a more effective institution and agency is a more critical step in the coming years.

In order to maintain the superiority of effective control over the entire territory of Indonesia, especially in disputed areas, Indonesia through the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) conducts Border Security Operations between countries. The purpose of this study was to analyze the interoperability of the TNI information system in the Border Security Operation in the North Natuna Sea and the TNI information system interoperability strategy to support the Border Security Operation code in the North Natuna Sea. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative data through observation, interviews and documentation. The findings of this study are that the information system, both software, hardware, and brainware is not optimal in responding to threats at the border. Regulations at the technical level are not yet precise, flexible, interoperable, besides that there are different regulatory perceptions between forces, there is no standardization of regulations, as well as sectoral egos. Blueprints and grand strategies are mandatory, as well as knowledge management in determining priorities, coupled with the use of artificial intelligence in the TNI information system to realize the efficiency of TNI information system personnel.
TÖRÖKORSZÁG ÉS AZ EURÓPAI UNIÓ KAPCSOLATAINAK FEJLŐDÉSE ÉS JÖVŐJE

Published: January 2022

Törökország és az Európai Unió kapcsolatai az EU jogelődjeinek kialakulásáig vezethetők vissza. A kapcsolatok hosszú távon tekintve pozitív irányúak, hiszen fokozatos közeledés figyelhető meg a felek között. Rövidtávon e viszonyban azonban extrém mértékű kilengések is tapasztalhatóak. A múltban a fokozatos közeledést katonai puccsok és inváziók szakították meg. Probléma merült fel számos kérdés eltérő megközelítése miatt is, mely tekintetben a szereplők különböző nézőpontból vizsgálták Törökország jogállását, és azt, hogy európai országnak tekinthető-e egyáltalán. Napjainkban Törökország közel-keleti regionális politikai érdekei miatt saját Európai Uniós csatlakozását háttérbe szorítja. Ezzel a magatartással Törökország jelentős feszültséget idézhet elő a szomszédos Európai Uniós országokkal kapcsolatban, vagy olyan kétes kimenetelű konfliktusokba kapcsolódhat be, melyekkel rontja saját európai megítélését. Az országban elindult társadalmi változások előkészíthetik azt a lehetőséget, hogy Törökország belátható időn belül belépjen az Európai Unióba. Ehhez azonban jelen állás szerint évtizedek kellenek. A felek nem fogják a gazdasági kapcsolataikat felmondani, változás politikai szinten lehetséges.

Authors:   PhD Independence Foundation Endowed Professor Founding Director, Special Studies in Symptom Management New York University, New York, NY, USA, K Anastasi Joyce
Published: January 2022

Objectives: A gap remains in understanding the association among the symptoms of distal sensory peripheral neuropathy (DSPN) (pain, aching, burning, pins and needles, numbness), comorbidities, and medication use among persons living with People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) with DSPN. This report describes the symptom characteristics associated with prescribed treatment regimens (HIV and non-HIV medications) and comorbidities from a cohort of PLWH experiencing symptoms of DSPN who reside in New York City. Methods: Our sample (n=353) included PLWH who were 18 years or older, and with painful lower limb (LL) peripheral neuropathy screened for an ongoing clinical trial to reduce DSPN symptoms using acupuncture/moxibustion. The trial participants completed a screening interview where they reported age, gender, race, ethnicity, HIV status, presence of LL DSPN and DSPN symptoms, current medications, and comorbidities. Results: Of 465 persons screened, 353 provided information for inclusion in this analysis. Seventy-eight percent rated their LL DSPN in the “severe” or “very severe” discomfort/pain range. Nearly half of those were taking prescribed or over-the-counter medication, such as nonnarcotic analgesics, antidepressants, and anticonvulsants, to manage their DSPN discomfort/pain. Despite the use of OTC and or prescription pain relievers, participants reported insufficient symptom relief. Discussion: Combination Antiretroviral Therapies (CART) effectively control viral load and maintain healthy T-cell levels in individuals with HIV. It has made HIV a chronic disease for many. However, HIV DPSN remains prevalent and has a negative impact on the lives of PLWH. Our findings highlight that, despite the availability and the use of CART, DSPN remains prevalent and not well managed. A critical need exists for the development of effective interventions to manage DSPN symptoms.

A obesidade decorre do acúmulo excessivo de gordura no organismo de um indivíduo, podendo prejudicar a saúde e reduzir a qualidade de vida da população. Nesse contexto, a Fitoterapia surgiu como um método alternativo, com baixo custo e com uma ação menos agressiva comparada aos medicamentos tradicionais. Muitos têm ação antioxidante, de modo que moderam o apetite e aumentam o metabolismo de quem faz uso deles. Portanto, objetivou-se avaliar a eficácia dos fitoterápicos no controle da obesidade. Foi realizada revisão sistemática da literatura, em que foram selecionados sete artigos pela busca ativa nas bases de dados Publisher Medline, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde e Google Scholar a partir dos Descritores em Ciências da Saúde em inglês: “Phytotherapy”, "Obesity", “Therapeutic” e "Efficacy", articulados por meio do operador booleano “AND”. Foram aplicados em meio aos critérios de inclusão: artigos de 2015 a 2021, escritos em português e inglês, e aos de exclusão: artigos repetidos em mais de uma base de dados e que não representassem o tema em questão. Como resultado, evidenciou-se que há efeitos positivos do uso da fitoterapia no tratamento e controle da obesidade por meio da redução, em porcentagens consideráveis, de gordura corporal nos indivíduos participantes dos ensaios clínicos analisados. Constatou-se, portanto, que os Fitoterápicos vêm sendo considerada uma alternativa excelente para substituir as medicações tradicionalmente utilizadas no tratamento da obesidade, contribuindo para uma melhoria na qualidade de vida do paciente.

Srodstvo je konstitutivni element i u znatnoj mjeri određujući čimbenik
strukture obitelji. Svojom slojevitom biološkom i društvenom sastavnicom na poseban način određuje prirodu i svojstva obitelji i šireg društva. Srodničke i obiteljske
odnose obilježava solidarnost, osjećajna bliskost, međusobna ovisnost i povjerenje.
Ti oblici povezanosti u većini situacija imaju zaštitničku funkciju i čimbenik su stabilnosti obiteljskih i širih društvenih odnosa, ali ponekad rezultiraju specifičnim oblicima nasilničkog ponašanja i nekih kaznenih radnji.
Autori u radu analiziraju postojeće normativne pristupe problemima nasilja u obitelji i nekih kaznenih djela, koji izravno ili posredno ugrožavaju obiteljsko zajedništvo
i osobna prava. Uočavaju kako zbog životnih poteškoća i složene prirode ljudskog
bića, srodnički odnosi ponekad sadrže elemente devijacije i pretvaranja u destruktivne odnose. Navode nastojanja zakonodavaca da s posebnom pažnjom vrednuju i
sankcioniraju postupke i radnje unutar srodničkih i obiteljskih odnosa, tako što pojedinim radnjama daju svojstva privilegiranih ili kvalificiranih oblika kaznenih djela.
U svrhu poboljšanja zaštite obitelji i ljudskog života, autori u sklopu teme navode i

Published: January 2022

Stress can be destructive if not well managed. It also has a direct bearing on the individual’s performance at work and productivity. The main purpose of the study was to investigate the sources of stress and management strategies that are common to ministers of the gospel. A descriptive research design was used for this study. A total of 250 ministers of the gospel serving in the Orthodox, Pentecostal and Charismatic churches in the Cape Coast Metropolis in the Central Region of Ghana were sampled for the study. Mean scores, standard deviations and rank order were used to analyse the data collected from the study. The most predominant source of stress among ministers of the gospel was “Inadequate financial support from the congregation.” The second was “Organising church programmes.” In the 3rd place was “Not getting support from church leaders.” The most important stress management strategy was “Delegating duties to others”.

BATI SANATINDA JAPON SANATININ İZLERİ VE KATSUSHİKA HOKUSAİ’NİN ESERLERİNİN GÜNÜMÜZ SANATINDA YENİDEN YORUMLANMASI
Authors: CEYLAN Pinar
Published: January 2022

Sanatta etkileşim, geçmişten günümüze sanat tarihindeki tüm dönemlerde varolmuştur. Sanatçı, yaşadığı olaylardan, kültürel öğelerden, geçmiş dönemdeki sanat eserlerinden etkilenir. Bu etkileşimler sanatçıların sanatta yeniden yorumlama ve esinlenme eğilimlerini tetikler. Çalışmanın amacı, 1850’li yıllarda batı sanatında ortaya çıkan Japonizm sanat akımından çağdaş sanata Japon sanatının sanattaki etkilerinin araştırılmasıdır. Günümüz batı sanatında en çok yeniden uyarlanan Japon sanatçı Katsushika Hokusai’nin eserlerine odaklanılmıştır. Japonizn sanat akımı, Empresyonist sanatçıların Japon sanatından etkilenmeleri ve eserlerinde Japon sanatını yeniden yorumlamaları sonucunda ortaya çıkan bir sanat akımıdır. Kültürlerarası etkileşim biçimi olarak batı sanatçılarının Japon sanatına yaklaşımları incelenmiştir. Makale; Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Edgar Degas, James Whistler, Ushio Shinohara, Consuelo Castaneda, Nara Yoshitomo, Banksy, Dominic Swords, Ai Weiwei, Shiriagari Kotobuki, Lin Onus gibi Japon sanatını yeniden yorumlayan Japonizm sanat akımının sanatçılarından en güncel çağdaş sanatçılara konuyla ilgili seçilen önemli eserlere odaklanılarak sınırlandırılmıştır. Makalenin oluşmasıyla tespit edilen bulgular sonucunda; Japon sanatının yeniden yorumlanması ve kültürlerarası etkileşimin geçmişten günümüze sanatta süregelen bir olgu olduğu görülmektedir. Makale, Japonizm döneminden çağdaş sanata ve Katsushika Hokusai’nin yeniden uyarlanan eserlerine odaklanmasıyla literatürde konuyla ilgili Türkçe kaynağın az olması açısından katkıda bulunabilir. Bazı sanat çevrelerinde önceden ortaya konulmuş bir sanat eserinin yeniden yorumlanması çoğunlukla taklitçilik ile karıştırılabilmektedir. Taklit ile sanatta yeniden yorumlama arasındaki tanımlamaların birbirinden ayrıştırılabilmesi ve bu tarzda ortaya çıkan eserlerin sanattaki önemi vurgulanmak istenmiştir. Yöntem olarak literatür taraması yapılmıştır. Ulusal, uluslararası basılı yayınlardan ve internet kaynaklarından yararlanılmıştır. Eser görselleri ve bilgi kaynakları için sanat müzelerinden, sanat galerilerinden, sergi kataloglarından ve sergilerden faydalanılmıştır.

Background: Electronic medical records (EMRs) are adopted for storing patient-related healthcare information. Using data mining techniques, it is possible to make use of and derive benefit from this massive amount of data effectively. We aimed to evaluate validity of data extracted by the Customized eXtraction Program (CXP).

Methods: The CXP extracts and structures data in rapid standardised processes. The CXP was programmed to extract TNFα-native active ulcerative colitis (UC) patients from EMRs using defined International Classification of Disease-10 (ICD-10) codes. Extracted data were read in parallel with manual assessment of the EMR to compare with CXP-extracted data.

Results: From the complete EMR set, 2,802 patients with code K51 (UC) were extracted. Then, CXP extracted 332 patients according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of these, 97.5% were correctly identified, resulting in a final set of 320 cases eligible for the study. When comparing CXP-extracted data against manually assessed EMRs, the recovery rate was 95.6–101.1% over the years with 96.1% weighted average sensitivity.

Conclusion: Utilisation of the CXP software can be considered as an effective way to extract relevant EMR data without significant errors. Hence, by extracting from EMRs, CXP accurately identifies patients and has the capacity to facilitate research studies and clinical trials by finding patients with the requested code as well as funnel down itemised individuals according to specified inclusion and exclusion criteria. Beyond this, medical procedures and laboratory data can rapidly be retrieved from the EMRs to create tailored databases of extracted material for immediate use in clinical trials.
THE IDEAS FOR APPLYING THE EXPERIMENT FOR TEACHING PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS SUBJECT “WATER AND LIFE”
Authors: Savičienė Danguolė
Published: January 2022

Often, when preparing for the lesson, teacher relies on the authors of the teacher edition books. There are practical advices in these books, additional literature sources, factual material samples, etc. But, at the same time, the teacher is invited to think and work creatively, to find such methods and means, which allow to improve quality and make the subject more interesting, to help students acquire desired competencies.
I wish to share my pedagogical work experience – the idea of applying the experiment when teaching primary school students subject “Water and life”.
In the process of examining this subject with the students, I suggest also to perform other, in my opinion, very graphical and unordinary experiment which exposes water importance to living organism – to waken the sleeping “Desert rose”. The goal of the experiment: with the help of water, to waken from the state of hibernation prehistory, from the age of dinosaurs, plant - Selaginella lepidophylla. The hypothesis is risen: pouring the water onto the plant will weaken it, make it absorb the water, green and after 4 days, when the plant will be placed into dry place – it will “sleep” again, will dry out and roll into the shape of a ball.
I am convinced, that students must be able not only successfully perform the experiment, but also have to be taught to fluently describe the steps necessary to achieve the result and what skills to use.
In other words, the students have to be able to render the information for other people. This is why I’m trying to find nontraditional methods to intrigue children to participate in such activities. This time I suggested to organize “Thrilling news” for nature lovers: to divide into roles, to film the action scenes about performing experiments and to show the film to parents and other primary school students. Because my pupils are only first graders and every new activity fascinates and motivates them, I had no trouble going this direction.
In the conclusion of the work, I can state that: while performing the experiment, the children comprehended the importance of water for the plant; they studied scientific research method; developed the ability to fluently describe the process, to express their opinion; received cognitive and communication skills.
Key words: additional literature sources, primary school, scientific research method.

ENGINEERING STUDENTS’ ATTITUDE TO NATURAL SCIENCES EDUCATION
Authors: Yarinovsky Boris , Kangro Ilmars
Published: January 2022

In recent years, school teachers as well as teachers at universities have noticed a negative trend and admit that the ratio of students in the natural sciences (NS) is being reduced, and this is a topical issue not only in Latvia, but also in other countries. The findings of the study carried out by the authors reveal that the interest of the school students regarding the natural sciences depends not only on the quality of teaching, but also on the attitude to the natural sciences in society in general. The youth, entering higher education institutions, is completely unmotivated to study NS courses. Furthermore, entrepreneurs complain that the graduates of engineering faculties have poor knowledge in the area of natural sciences.
The main reasons for the negative attitude to mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology of former school students, now students of the 1st and 2nd courses of the Faculty of Engineering at Rezekne Higher Education Institution were identified. The authors have worked out recommendations to improve young people's attitude to science education, by improving the quality of teaching in schools, optimizing the study process in schools, introducing changes concerning the state policy in the field of natural science education.
Key words: engineering students, Rezekne Higher Education Institution, attitude towards natural science education.

The main aim of the modern teacher is formation of students’ stable interest to the offered subject. A teacher’s objective is to create and support motivation of learning. Different methods are used to solve this task. In this article the teachers share their experience on methods at Chemistry and Physics lessons using IT.
Physics information kaleidoscope describes learning aids: making an experiment with the help of computer programs and laboratory equipment; a method of electronic reports, tables with calculations; various diagrams and graphs using skills of text and graph editing. A method of team work helps to make learning material more interesting.
Chemistry information kaleidoscope presents a lesson description. While explanation of the lesson theme “Glass in Chemistry and Literature” the material is presented from an unusual point of view: There is a parallel between glass concept in Chemistry and Lithuanian literature with an example from the story by D.Urneviciute “Glass House”. To connect logically all lesson stages IT is used.
We prepare students for further life and work. That is why it is very important to show them interpenetration and interconnection with different subjects and the use of various IT makes it possible to implement.

Biochar is a potential additive for agricultural soil and can be used as an eco-friendly and economical adsorbent material. Biochar properties are affected by several technological parameters, mainly pyrolysis temperature and feedstock, which differentiation can lead to products with a wide range of characteristics. The biochar sample was produced from wood sawdust at 450˚C via slow pyrolysis and was characterized. Parameters characterized to include: physical properties (bulk density, porosity), chemical properties (composition, pH, conductivity, cation exchange capacity), hydraulic property (water holding capacity), proximate analysis, X-ray diffractometry to obtain information on the mineralogical composition, among others. The analysis of biochar properties is important for determining the biochar application.
A Systematic Literature Review Protocol for the analysis of practices, measurement instruments and contextual factors inherent to Supply Chain Agility
Authors: Alkurdi Mohammad Hamza , Vázquez-Bustelo Daniel
Published: January 2022

Supply Chain Agility (SCA) has recently received substantial attention in the literature and in practice. The previous literature encompasses a number of different tools and constructs that are used to measure SCA, indicating the need to refine and validate a supply chain-level measurement instrument of SCA. In addition, the role of the contextual factors inherent to the implementation of SCA and the need to achieve a certain fit between SCA and other supply chain and firm strategies and orientations has received little attention by the research community. This paper represents a SLR protocol to identify definitions, practices, and measurement items of SCA, as well as the contextual factors that affect supply chain's ability to implement and measure supply chain agility. Finally, this paper will try to contribute to the theory development and advancement on SCA by clarifying the need to accomplish a certain fit between SCA and other supply chain and firm strategies and orientations.
