Authors: BAYHAN Merve
Published: January 2024

In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of 11 different doses of Ethyl Methane Sulphonate (EMS) applied to the seed to create variation in the M1 generation of chickpea (Gökçe) and lentil (Şakar) genotypes during germination and seedling development periods and to determine the lethal dose that caused a 50% reduction in plant emergence rate. The research was conducted under the greenhouse and laboratory conditions of the Faculty of Agriculture of Dicle University in 2019/2020. The study was conducted according to a randomized block design with three replicates. For the M1 generation, seeds of each genotype in the elite stage were treated with EMS solution at 0 (control), 10, 20, 30, 40, 40, 50, 60, 60, 70, 70, 80, 90, and 100 mM (1000 seeds for each dose) and then sown in the greenhouse. A total of 132 tubes were sown with 30 seeds for each dose, and the effective EMS dose was determined for each genotype based on the traits examined in the developing seedlings. In the study, it was concluded that 11 different EMS doses applied to the seeds of chickpea and lentil varieties had negative effects on seedling development in the M1 generation, and increasing EMS doses from the control caused a decrease in all traits examined. With increasing EMS doses, plant emergence was observed in both chickpea and lentil up to 60 mM dose, while no germination was observed at 60 mM dose, and the dose rate varied according to species and varieties. The dose that caused a 50% decrease in the plant emergence rate in Gökçe chickpea and Şakar lentil varieties was determined as the LD50 dose. Accordingly, it was determined that the LD50 dose was 30 mM for Gökçe chickpea variety and 60 mM for Şakar lentil variety.

Published: January 2024

Nanotechnology is a groundbreaking technology that that has been widely applied in creating materials which are useful in various fields. It's important to maintain eco-friendly approaches for synthesis of nanoparticles by diversifying the substrate sources. In this study, the researchers used aqueous extract of Cynodon dactylon to synthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs). Quantitative phytochemical analysis of the extract showed high concentrations of alkaloids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, and phenolic compounds. In contrast, moderate concentrations of tannins, oils, and fats, and low concentrations of phlorotannins, saponin, triterpenoids, and cardiac glycosides were found. Sterols, anthraquinone glycosides, gums, and mucilages were not detected in the extract. The synthesized ZnONPs showed absorbance ranging from 293 nm to 336 nm, with a peak at 307 nm. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy revealed that the surface of the ZnONPs contained alcohol (intermolecular bonded), alkyne, amine salt, alkane, alkyne, aromatic compounds, conjugated alkene, amine, nitro compound, sulfonyl chloride, alkylaryl ether, and sulfoxide. Dynamic light scatering (DLS) analysis of the ZnONPs showed that its average size was 35.34±1.64 nm, and the polydispersity index was 0.6335. Spectrum of X ray diffraction indicated that peaks formed at 2θ and their corresponding orientation planes are 31.92o (100), 34.62o (002), 36.44o (101), 47.64o (102), 56.84o (110), 63.3o (200), and 68.16o (112). Transmission electron micrograph revealed the spherical shape, and nonuniform sizes of ZnONPs, which ranged from 0.52 nm to 8.32 nm. Antibacterial analysis of biosynthesized ZnONPs recorded 16±3.2 mm and 6.0±2.2 mm; 6.7±2.1 mm and 4.33±1.3 mm, 0.0±0.0 mm and 1.0±1.41 mm, against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, at 53.3 mg/mL, 26.7 mg/mL and 13.3 mg/ml concentrations, respectively. At sub-inhibitory concentrations, biosynthesized ZnONPs demonstrated effective dose-dependent antibiofilm formation activity against E. coli and S. aureus. Consequently, extract of Cynodon dactylon is suitable for biosynthesis of ZnONPs with effective antibacterial and antibiofilm formation activities.

With poultry being the most abundant domestic animals worldwide, poultry farms have emerged as a prospective and widely distributed business industry in Nigeria. The outbreak of several deadly diseases that cause economic loss and discourage poultry keeping is a major challenge to poultry farming. The main goal of this study is to isolate and identify different enteric bacteria and to find the antimicrobial sensitivity profile against the pathogens isolated from specific poultry farms in Kano State. A total of 50 samples, including both poultry feed and droppings, were collected from five different poultry farms for analysis to detect the presence of enteric bacteria. The results revealed that all bacterial isolates displayed varying levels of resistance to the tested antibiotics, but they were completely susceptible to Sulfamethoxazole and Cephalexin. In general, the results of this study indicate that these samples serve as sources of E. coli, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., and Proteus mirabilis in poultry. These pathogenic bacteria pose a health threat, potentially leading to food poisoning and infections in both animals and humans. Consequently, efficient control measures such as proper management and handling of poultry birds, and sensitization of farmers on the abuse of antibiotics are crucial to prevent cross-contamination within poultry houses and ensure the provision of high quality poultry products.
ON UPDATED CONTENT OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS OF NON-LANGUAGE SPECIALTIES AT A UNIVERSITY
Authors: Ignatova Svetlana S.
Published: January 2024

The author explores theoretical and practical issues aimed at fi nding innovative methods and strategies of education, the use of which will ensure not only an increase in the effectiveness of teaching a foreign language, but also the formation of professional identity among students at an early stage (1st–2nd year of study). In response to the need for fundamentally new approaches to defi ning the goals, objectives and principles of higher education, attempts are being made to revise approaches to the selection of professionally oriented content of the discipline “Foreign Language”. In the research, the author relies on the concepts of professional discourse and psychotherapeutic discourse as a source of situations of professional interaction for the formation of foreign language communicative competence among students –
future clinical psychologists. The article also provides examples of communicative technologies: self-presentation, argumentation and active listening. The didactic potential of the discipline “Foreign Language” in the formation of high professional qualifi cations and competence of future specialists is considered. In the course of the study, an updated program of the discipline “Foreign Language” is being developed for the specialty 37.05.01 “Clinical Psychology” based on an analysis of existing curriculums, educational and methodological materials available in electronic library systems, professional standards that served as the basis for the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education in this specialty, as well as available scientifi c and methodological developments in teaching professionally oriented foreign languages, on the basis of which typical situations of professional communication of future clinical psychologists are identifi ed, criteria for selecting the content of foreign language training and recommendations for methodological support of the discipline are proposed. The author concludes that the formation of universal communicative competence should occur in conditions of immersion of students in professional discourse due to the careful selection of linguistic and sociocultural material of a professional orientation, as well as a set of situational tasks that involve the use of
modern communicative technologies to solve problems of a professional orientation.

Published: January 2024

The article considers the process of organization and development of television in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in USSR from the establishment of the fi rst TV studio to the collapse of the USSR (1961-1991). It is the fi rst attempt to describe the factors of the appearance of television, the organization of infrastructure and activities of a television studio in the national republic in the conditions of party-state policy. The purpose of the article is to identify the conditions, stages, features of the organization and development of Yakut television. Also we have a goal to determine the content and forms of information policy implementation in the Soviet period. To achieve the goal, empirical research methods were used: analysis of archival documents, statistical and literary sources, periodical materials.Basing on archival documents, we identifi ed three stages of technological development of regional television: the 1960s - material and technical base establishment, training, mastering television genres, techniques and technologies of live broadcasting; the 1970s‒1980s – infrastructure development, Union-wide centralized broadcasting network establishment, the emergence of satellite and color television, the introduction of video recording and linear installation, organization of belt broadcasting throughout the country; The late 1980s and early 1990s saw the abandonment of fi lm news technologies, the use of linear and nonlinear editing, and the testing of new video formats.In Soviet times, television employees were tasked with the ideological, political, cultural and aesthetic education of the population by promoting achievements in all areas of the country’s life. According to archival data, Yakut television sought to cover various socially signifi cant topics in the fi eld of foreign and domestic policy, labor achievements, history, culture, art, health and sports. The broadcast was conducted in Yakut and Russian. The main genres were news, reports and conversations in the studio. For 30 years, the creative teams of the TV studio have managed to create samples of serious TV journalism, art productions, documentaries and feature fi lms. During the years of “perestroika”, the Yakut TV Studio set a course to strengthen regional identity and form national culture.

Authors: Shevchenko Vladimir S.
Published: January 2024

Messengers today are actively developing multi-format platforms that are close in their capabilities to social networks. The relevance of the study of this phenomenon is due to six main factors: the popularity of instant messengers, proven by public opinion research; their application in all spheres of socio-cultural life; expansion of functionality; increasing the audience; development of new platforms and separation of instant messengers from social networks; the emergence of trends that are set by messengers. The article examines the development of instant messengers from the point of view of expanding their communication technologies using the example of WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram. The main communication technologies used in messengers are identifi ed according to the following criteria: method of communication, subjects of communication. It is noted that the instant messengers in question originated as mobile services for instant messaging between people. With the advent of Telegram, messengers began their development towards expanding functionality and moving closer to social networks: channels and communities for blogging and the ability to comment on posts appeared. It is noted that today it is messengers that have taken the initiative from social networks in producing trends in the development of the information market: an example is chatbots that automate the connection between a person and a brand, as well as the fact that messengers have begun to separate from social networks and develop in parallel. The role and place of each messenger in the modern world is also analyzed. As an example of brand promotion, the article presents the experience of the “Our Chelyabinsk” media group, which is developing channels in WhatsApp, Viber, and Telegram messengers. The article concludes that messengers, having appeared as narrow-format services, today are a set of multi-format communication technologies and can be used to promote various brands.

Published: January 2024

Entikong District, Sanggau Regency, West Kalimantan Province, is one of the border areas of Indonesia and Malaysia. Among several Cross-Border Posts (PLBN) in the Indonesian territory, one of them was established in Entikong Sub-district, Entikong PLBN. The Entikong area was equally impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Aiming to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus in Entikong, the government issued two policies. The first policy was to close the border. Despite being closed, the border remained accessible for Indonesian citizens intending to return to Indonesia and foreign nationals with visas according to certain conditions. The second policy was the Enforcement of Micro-based Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM). Both emerged as two conflicting policies where the border was closed but accessible for Indonesian citizens, such as returning Indonesian migrant workers and foreigners with certain visas. However, on the other hand, PPKM restricted the mobility of the Entikong community. It is certain that these two policies greatly impacted the community residing in the Entikong border area due to the absence of socialization and intense communication for the community in West Kalimantan, which possesses a number of border entry points.

This study aimed to identify the challenges and limitations of traditional document management methods and provide insights into the capabilities of mobile apps for streamlining document workflows and improving collaboration among construction professionals. A literature review was conducted to explore the challenges faced by DMS in the construction industry, such as managing paper documents, avoiding human errors, optimising workflows, and promoting collaboration. A literature review was conducted to investigate the availability, accessibility, and competencies of mobile apps for construction project document management. This study comprised four stages. In the first stage, relevant applications in the construction project document management domain were searched. In the second stage, apps are selected based on their functions, accessibility, and capabilities, making them suitable for managing construction project documents. The third stage involved examining apps to determine their specific functions. Finally, in the fourth stage, apps that were not tested in empirical studies were removed from the list of potential apps, and the functions of the remaining apps were discussed, drawing on empirical studies to support app developers’ claims. A comprehensive search led to the identification of 38 mobile apps relevant to document management of construction projects. Each app was carefully analysed based on its function, market popularity, relevance to construction, construction project document management, range of functions, and real-world efficacy. Based on rigorous analysis, 21 apps were selected for an in-depth study because of their relevance, user-friendliness, and compliance with project document management. These 21 apps collectively offer diverse functionalities for efficient document management, falling under broad categories, such as real-time access to project documents, user-friendly interfaces, and automation of document processes, resulting in enhanced efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration. This study underscores the potential of mobile apps to transform document-management practices in the construction industry.

Authors: Lipovetsky Stan
Published: January 2024

A well-known property of the multiple linear regression is that its plane goes through the point of the mean values of all variables, andthis feature can be used to find the model's intercept. This work shows that a regression by n predictors also passes via n additional points of the specific weighted mean values. Thus, the regression is uniquely defined by all these n+1 multidimensional points of means, and approximation of observations by the theoretical model collapses to the interpolation function going through the knots of the weighted means. This property is obtained from the normal system of equations which serves for finding the linear regression parameters in the ordinary least squares approach. The derived features can be applied in nonlinear modeling for adjusting the model parameters so that the fitted values would go through the same reference points of means, that can be useful in applied regression analysis. Numerical examples are discussed. The found properties reveal the essence of regression function as hyperplane going through special points of mean values, which makes regression models more transparent and useful for solving and interpretation in various applied statistical problems.

The low quality of student learning outcomes is caused by two factors, namely internal and external factors. Internal factors are experienced and internalized factors that affect students learning process and results include : attitudes toward learning, interest and motivation to learn, learning concentration, while external factors include suchthings as: the teacher as learning coaches, infrastructure and learning facilities, policies assessment, the social environment of students at school and at home as well as school curriculum. Learn something that attracts attention, would be more readily accepted than in studying things that do not attract attention, learning this also can not be underestimated or not important. In the case of interest, of course, someone who took an interest in a certain field will be easier to learn the field. Learning course will culminate with school performance achieved which will illustrate the success and success in learning . To achieve good learning, a lot of things that influence it, among others, the learning method used by teachers. Learning achievements will be achieved best when all factors support, such as teaching methods, with an interesting method which can be a bridge to reach the competencies.

Published: January 2024

Purpose: Retirement is a time to leave from the job or work forever. Investing for retirement plays an important role. This study makes an effort to evaluate the various issues and trends of the investment in the National Pension Scheme (NPS) by an individual. Since the primary goal of this study was to assess the issues and trends of the investment in the National Pension Scheme for retirement benefits, and the study also evaluates its advantages, benefits, constraints, and disadvantages through ABCD analysis. Design: This research is conducted through secondary sources in order to provide a full-fledged evidence-based study on the issues and trends in the investment on National Pension Scheme. The semi-systematic review is conducted using various published reports and articles from sources including Springer, Tailor & Francis, Emerald, Google Scholar, Srinivas Publication, Research Gate, SSRN, etc. Findings: The result of compressive review revealed that in India, people save as a part from their income but very few invest for their retirement. The reasons for not investing for retirement is classified under two major factors i.e., internal and external factors. NPS provides pension scheme as well as investment scheme which allows the member to choose their investment in different assets. Unfortunately, due to lack in financial literacy and financial knowledge on the investment of retirement products and plans. Practical Implications: This research provide a guide for members who wish to invest for their retirement and create an awareness of the numerous challenges by the citizens by the policy makers and improved performance for the benefit of the citizen. It serves as a source of information for NPS users to comprehend the advantages of enrolling in pension plans for their retirement. Originality/value: This study as per the secondary data may provide overall view on the National Pension Scheme and may help the customers for better understanding about the pension scheme and also assist the policy makers and pension regulator to promote investment on the retirement plans; but the concept of NPS can be better understood through primary survey, therefore it is the limitation of the study. Paper type: Case Study.
