Production differentiation in the industrial markets for mechanical engineering: Supply factors
Authors: Yaroshevich Natalya
Published: November 2020

Amid the turbulence in the external environment, the issue of finding adaptive strategies is becoming increasingly relevant. This problem is especially acute in industrial markets. One of the most common strategies is differentiation. Numerous modern theories of differentiation rest on the distinctive features of consumer demand and often do not take into account the factors of product supply. These factors, however, serve as the basis for determining the generic development strategy of an industrial enterprise. The paper explores production differentiation and justifies the factors of supply affecting it. The theory of industrial organization, the theory of strategic management and the microeconomic approach constitute the methodological framework of the present article. General scientific methods of logic-structural analysis were used. The empirical base includes data from nine industrial markets for mechanical engineering in the Russian Federation. Having analyzed the theoretical approaches to substantiating the existence of production differentiation, we managed to identify its fundamental factors: specialization and the presence (absence) of economies of scale. To assess these factors, we propose using two indicators: the industry specialization coefficient and the indicator of absolute cost advantage. Matrixing industrial markets for mechanical engineering by the parameters “the level of industry specialization” and “economies of scale” allowed pinpointing three types of production differentiation and their corresponding generic strategies. In the presence of economies of scale and a narrow specialization, an enterprise should choose the strategy of “capturing a niche”; in the presence of economies of scale and a broad specialization, it should follow the strategy of wide differentiation. In the absence of economies of scale for broad and narrow industry differentiation, the generic strategy of a machine-building enterprise is competitive marketing. The author’s methodological approach to choosing the type of production differentiation is versatile and can be used to substantiate generic strategies of industrial enterprises.
Uniformity of dynamic inequalities constituted on time Scales
Authors:   Department of Mathematics, University of Sargodha, Sub-Campus Bhakkar, Pakistan, Sahir Muhammad Jibril Shahab
Published: November 2020

In this article, we present extensions of some well-known inequalities such as Young's inequality and Qi's inequality on fractional calculus of time scales. To find generalizations of such types of dynamic inequalities, we apply the time scale Riemann-Liouville type fractional integrals. We investigate dynamic inequalities on delta calculus and their symmetric nabla results. The theory of time scales is utilized to combine versions in one comprehensive form. The calculus of time scales unifies and extends some continuous forms and their discrete and quantum inequalities. By applying the calculus of time scales, results can be generated in more general form. This hybrid theory is also extensively practiced on dynamic inequalities.
Association-dissociation equations, distinct from Michaelis-Menten equation for the quantification of the net flux of reactants with or without immobiliser.
Authors: Ikechukwu Iloh Udema
Published: November 2020

The formation of enzyme-substrate complex, often in connection with the adsorption of the enzyme leading to either partial immobilisation in which the enzymes are adsorbed on a colloid or total immobilisation in which the enzyme is adsorbed on a rigid immobile phase is the concern of some researchers. The interest in immobilised substrate common in biological system is not very common. The objectives of this theoretical research are the rederivation of the equations of association and dissociation of reactants in the presence of adsorbents, insoluble larger macro-or supra-molecule and elucidation of why such equations are important and generalisable. The derivations produced two different equations that describe mathematically the net flux of either the substrate where the enzyme is adsorbed or the net flux of the enzyme where the substrate is adsorbed. The derivation also produced equations of translational velocities, given the probabilities that reactions occur following complex formation or that an escape of bullet molecules or dissociation reactions occur. In conclusion two different equations need separate derivation for association and dissociation of reactants. The needs for the flux of reactants have both biological and industrial relevance, respectively due to importance of time-dependent digestive processes and for the optimisation of the production of desired products of enzymatic action. The equations describing net flux seem generalisable in that information about the physicochemical properties of both crowding agent and immobilisers may not be needed for calculations.

Cocoa was established at Owena in the Southwestern part of Nigeria using four planting distances of 3.0 x 3.0 m, 2.5 x 2.5 m, 2.0 x 2.0 m and 1.5 x 1.5 m which was laid out in a Complete Randomized Block Design with four replicates. Data was collected between August 2014 and May 2017 on the survival count, morphological parameters (plant height, stem circumference and number of branches), number of cocoa pods and dry cocoa beans weight to determine the vigour and yield performance of cocoa plants. The results revealed significant differences (p=0.05) between treatments based on the plant spacing. While cocoa plants on 3.0 x 3.0 m treatment had significantly higher height, stem circumference and number of branches than those on 2.0 x 2.0 m and 1.5 x 1.5 m from 12 months after transplanting. The number of cocoa pods and weight of dry cocoa beans for individual cocoa trees followed the same trend with their vigour performance. However, the total yield per hectare showed significantly higher value (p=0.05) for cocoa under close spacing than the recommended traditional 3.0 x 3.0 m with low population density planting. With the present results, we recommend that cocoa farmers in Nigeria should explore a high planting density system during the first few years of establishment while the trees surpluses should be eliminated once the plants’ canopy spread are becoming too interwoven.

Published: November 2020

Drip irrigation is one of the conservative irrigation techniques since it implies supplying water directly on the soil through the emitter; it can supply water and fertilizer directly into the root zone. An equation to estimate the wetted area in unsaturated soil is taking into calculating the water absorption by roots is simulated numerically using HYDRUS (2D/3D) software. In this paper, HYDRUS comprises analytical types of the estimate of different soil hydraulic properties. Used one soil type, sandy loam, with three types of crops; (corn, tomato, and sweet sorghum), different drip discharge, different initial soil moisture content was assumed, and different time durations. The relative error for the different hydraulic soil models was calculated and was compared with the model of Brooks and Corey, 1964. There was good agreement compared with different models. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) was (0.23) cm, while the relative error (- 1%) and (1) for modeling efficiency (EF) for wetted radius, but wetted depth was RMSE (0.99) cm, and the relative error was (4.5%), and EF was (1).

A Mega-Analysis of Personality Prediction: Robustness and Boundary Conditions
Authors: Beck Emorie D , Jackson Joshua James
Published: November 2020

Decades of studies identify personality traits as prospectively associated with life outcomes. However, previous investigations of personality characteristic-outcome associations have not taken a principled approach to covariate use or other sampling strategies to ensure the robustness of personality-outcome associations. The result is that it is unclear (1) whether personality characteristics are associated with important outcomes after accounting for a range of background variables, (2) for whom and when personality-outcome associations hold, and 3) which background variables are most important to account for. The present study examines the robustness and boundary conditions of personality-outcome associations using prospective Big Five associations with 14 health, social, education/work, and societal outcomes across eight different person- and study-level moderators using individual participant data from 171,395 individuals across 10 longitudinal panel studies in a mega-analytic framework. Robustness and boundary conditions were systematically tested using two approaches: propensity score matching and specification curve analysis. Three findings emerged: First, personality characteristics remain robustly associated with later life outcomes. Second, the effects generalize, as there are few moderators of personality-outcome associations. Third, robustness was differential across covariate choice in nearly half of the tested models, with the inclusion or exclusion of some of these flipping the direction of association. In sum, personality characteristics are robustly associated with later life outcomes with few moderated associations. However, researchers still need to be careful in their choices of covariates. We discuss how these findings can inform studies of personality-outcome associations, as well as recommendations for covariate inclusion.

The current paper has presented the study results of the facultative barley varieties of the FSBSI “Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy” in the conditions of the Republic of Crimea. The study was carried out in 2017-2019 on the experimental plots of the department of introduction and technologies in field cultivation and animal husbandryof the FSBSI Research Institute of Agriculture of the Crimea, located in the village of Klepinino of Krasnogvardeisky district, in the central steppe zone of the peninsula. There has been studied the productivity of six facultative varieties (developed in the FSBSI “Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy”) in comparison with the variety ‘Dostoyny' (developed in the Breeding and Genetic Institute of the National Center for Seed and Variety Study of the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences of Ukraine). The varieties were sown in the autumn and spring, at the optimum sowing time for winter grain crops. The trials were conducted with the grain crops sown in weedfree fallow and after sunflower. The spring barley variety ‘Strannik' (the Prikumskaya Experimental Breeding Station) was used as a control variety for spring sowing. When sowing in the autumn in weedfree fallow, the varieties ‘Foks 1' and ‘Master' were at the level of the standard variety with the productivity of 6.37 and 6.32 t/ha, respectively. When sowing in the spring, the early ripening varieties ‘Master' (2.92 t/ha), ‘Tigr' (2.88 t/ha) and ‘Foks 1' (2.70 t/ha) were the best ones, which in 2018 and 2019 significantly exceeded the standard variety ‘Dostoyny'. In 2018 the varieties ‘Vivat' and ‘Tigr' formed the productivity at the level of the standard variety when sown after sunflower in the autumn. In 2019 the best yields were produced by the variety ‘Timofey' with 3.62 t/ha (+0.17 t/ha to the standard value) and ‘Master' (+0.10 t/ha). Under more favorable conditions of 2019, when sowing in the spring the facultative varieties ‘Foks 1' and ‘Master' produced 1.89 t/ha, significantly exceeding the standard variety ‘Dostoyny' on 0.64 t/ha each. When sown after sunflower the varieties ‘Master' produced on average 1.2 t/ha (+0.32 t / ha to the standard value) and ‘Foks 1' (+0.15 t/ha).

Authors: Kovtunov V. V. , Baranovsky A. V.
Published: November 2020

Frequently occured dry years and a sharp decrease of productivity and gross harvests of grain crops require scientifically grounded selection of grain crops that stabilize its production. Currently, the drought resistant sorghum varieties can become a good alternative for the main spring grain crops. In the Luhansk region, the average annual amount of precipitation is 475 mm, which confirms the advantage in growing grain sorghum over other spring grain crops. However, plant density of the modern recommended grain sorghum varieties related to specific soil and climatic conditions has not yet been studied enough. The purpose of the current research was to study and highlight the optimal plant density of the grain sorghum variety ‘Ataman' in the conditions of the Luhansk region. The study was carried out on the basis of the Luhansk National Agricultural University in 2018-2019. Sorghum was sown at the rate of 350.000 germinated grains per hectare. In a sprouting phase, plant density was manually formed according to the experimental scheme (from 40 to 340 thousand/ha). The study of the new early-ripening grain sorghum variety ‘Ataman', developed by the FSBSI “Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy”, showed that regardless of the moisture supply and the thermal regime during vegetation, it was advisable to grow this variety with a plant density of 140-220 thousand/ha. In the conditions of the Luhansk region with mineral nutrition N60P40, it was possible to form the productivity of the grain sorghum variety ‘Ataman' at the level of 5.06-5.52 t/ha of grain and more. The vegetation period of the variety ‘Ataman', depending on the plant density and weather/climatic conditions of the year, was 90-102 days, which made it possible to harvest it in the 1st-2nddecade of September without additional drying of the grain. The variety did not lodge or shed its grain, and was also resistant to grain aphids.

Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a valuable grain crop. The purpose of the current study was to assess the effect of the direct sowing system (no-till, technology without tillage), in comparison with the one recommended for the zone of the Central Steppe of the Crimea, on the agrophysical characteristics of the soil, weed infestation of the plots and winter wheat productivity. The trial was laid in 2015, the study began to be carried out in 2017. In the trials there was studied the winter wheat variety ‘Asket'. The soil of the experimental plot was southern blackearth (chernozem) with 2.0-2.1% of humus, with 2.0-2.7 mg of labile phosphorus per 100 g of soil and 25-30 mg of exchangeable potassium per 100 g of soil. The total area of the plot was 300 m2, the accounting area was 50 m2 with threefold repetition. The average annual air temperature was 10.4 °С, the average annual precipitation was 428 mm. Mathematical processing was carried out according to the Dospekhov's method. The direct sowing in 2017-2019 contributed to the accumulation of available moisture in the soil when growing winter wheat. During the autumn-winter period, there were accumulated 46 mm, which was two times more than in the control variant. The direct sowing did not affect the weed species' composition. Their number in the variants with no-tillage increased by 6.1 pcs/m2. The soil density when sowing in the 0-30 cm layer was at the same level in terms of technologies. During the renewal of the spring vegetation there was soil softening and, on average, over the layers, this parameter was at the level of optimal values. The number of agronomically valuable aggregates was on 2.5% higher with direct sowing than in the control variant. The structural coefficient in the control variant was 2.7, and with no-till it was 3.2. The productivity in the control variant was 3.86 t/ha, and in the direct sowing it was 3.30 t/ha, which was on 0.56 t/ha (14.5%) more in the control variant than in the studied variant.

In connection with the development of organic vegetable growing in Ukraine, the topical issue of courgette breeding is the creation of varieties and hybrids of F1 with maximum adaptability to soil and climatic conditions of cultivation. The purpose of research is to identify genetic sources for the breeding of courgette with a stable manifestation of biochemical characteristics of the fruit. Breeding work was carried out with 20 lines of courgette of different geographical origin. Evaluation of linear genotypes was performed on the following indicators – general (GACi) and specific adaptive capacity (SACi), relative stability (Sgi), coefficient of ecological plasticity (bi) and selection value (BVGi). Courgette lines with a high content of dry matter, total sugar and vitamin C in fruits in the phase of technical ripeness have been created. Among them, 2 highly adaptive lines, which simultaneously exceeded the standard variety Chaklun in terms of dry matter content (4.46… 4.71%) and total sugar (2.77… 2.84%). Highly adaptive lines, better than the standard grade for the manifestation of one feature - the dry matter content – 1 line (4.58%), total sugar – 3 lines (2.72… 2.77%), vitamin C – 2 lines 14.93… 15.55 mg / 100 g). Low dependence on growing conditions at the same time on the manifestation of 2 traits (dry matter content and vitamin C in the fruit) was demonstrated by 3 lines (-1 Less than bi Greater than 1). The obtained lines are a valuable source material for the creation of varieties and hybrids of courgette F1, suitable for organic cultivation technologies with high quality fruits in the phase of technical maturity.

The article presents the results of research on the biological activity of gray forest soil depending on the systematic use of organic and mineral fertilizers. It is established that effective reproduction of humus in gray forest soil is provided by organo-mineral (12 t of manure together with N80P60K80 application per 1 ha of crop rotation area) and organic (24 t/ha of manure), respectively 36,5 t/ha, and 35,6 t/ha. The application of only mineral fertilizers in the norm of N80P60K80 per 1 ha of crop rotation area resulted in a decrease in humus reserves by 9 % relative to the initial level (32,4 t/ha). The highest degree of humification of organic matter provided the option of applying organic fertilizers (60 t/ha) both separately – 36,0% and compatible with mineral – (60 t/ha manure + N80P60K80) – 34 %. Prolonged use of organic and mineral fertilizers in crop rotation significantly increased the total number of microorganisms in the soil. The result was increased decomposition of organic matter and increased release of CO2 from the soil. The areas with the highest biological activity and CO2 intensity were characterized by areas where the soil was systematically enriched with fresh organic matter. The intensity of biological processes in the organo-mineral system increased by 67 % relative to the variant without fertilizers and by 30 % relative to the variant with only N80P60K80. The use of organic and mineral fertilizers in one system stimulated the process of decomposition of fiber – at the level of 78,5 %, which in percentage terms exceeded the value of the indicators obtained for a purely mineral fertilizer system.
Strawberry yield when using temporary shelter for plants
Authors:   National University of Life and Enviromental Sciences of Ukraine, Mazur B. M.
Published: November 2020

The influence of a temporary shelter for plants of strawberry ‘Klerі’ was investigated. It was found that the use of black mulch film on the ridges accelerates the passage of phenological phases. Covering strawberry plants with film and white agrofibre allows you to get ripe berries 10-14 days earlier than with conventional cultivation. Studies have shown that the shelter of strawberry plants with agrofibre and film in the autumn allows plantings to better establish generative organs. Shelter with these materials protects the plants from spring frost during flowering and from rains during the ripening period. Temporary shelter of strawberry plants has a positive effect on the yield and marketability of strawberries and the economic efficiency as a result. So, for strawberries ‘Kleri’, the best option is tunnel cover with a film in the technology on ridges. This possible to obtain a yield 37.9 t/ha with 71% of the first grade berries. The use of agrofibre in the technology on the ridges possible to obtain a yield of 29.5 t/ha with 65% of the first grade berries.

Автор нагадує передісторію республіки, деякі досягнення "арабської революції", а також показує стосунки Ісламської республіки з впливовими та сусідніми державами. Підкреслюється той факт, що це унікальна держава, яка змогла сьогодні поєднати відданість традиційним цінностям з елементами демократії. Хоча держава перебувала довгий час під значними санкціями, проте змогла налагодити стосунки з сильними державами: Росією, Китаєм та сусідніми Вірменією й Азербайджаном. Також в статті розглядаються етапи підписання СВПД (Спільний всеохоплюючий план дій) по ядерній програмі Ірану, пікреслюючи роль Ради безпеки ООН у вирішенні цієї проблеми. На жаль, традиційно сьогодні залишаються протиріччя з Ізраїлем та США. Особливо погіршали стосунки з США за президента Д. Трампа. Досить складними сьогодні є взаємовідносини з Туреччиною. Після катастрофи з українським літаком у січні 2020 р. також стали напруженими стосунки з Україною, хоча до цього чітко простежувались позитивні тенденції.
Регіональна локалізація основних мотивів українських купальських пісень
Authors: Kelemen Y.
Published: November 2020

Питаня локалізації текстів купальських пісень до цього часу не тільки детально не розглядалось, а й навіть не ставилось у практичну площину.Тим часом наші спостереження показали, що більшість із них мають свій локус поширення, який відповідає локусу поширення того чи іншого купальського обряду. Тому залежно від місцевості набір основних мотивів купальських пісень буває різний. Лише частина таких текстів має загальне поширення на всій території України. Це купальські пісні з мотивами вгадування долі за пущеними на воду вінками, купання хлопців, потопання хлопців під час купання. На всій території Правобережжя відома пісня про розпалювання (розведення, заведення) молодицею купайлиці. Найбільша кількість мотивів купальських пісень зафіксована на Волині та Поділлі. Особливою популярністю тут користуються пісні з мотивами прикрашання купайлиці та намагання хлопців поглумитися над дівочим атрибутом, звивання дівчатами віночків, встановлення купала з верби. Парубочий обов’язок – вирубування купайлиці, сестровбивство з ритуальною метою, обов’язкова присутність дівчат і хлопців на купальському дійстві, потоплення "купала", купання, гадання на пущених на воду вінках, збереження "купала" до наступного року, зимівля та літування "купала". Обов’язок молодиці – почати святкування, відбирання відьмами молока від чужих корів, розпалювання вогнищ на горі, купний гріх, сегрегація новоутворених подружніх пар після Купала, ритуальний гетеризм на честь свята, унормована сексуальна сваволя, сватання дівчини після свята. Від Полтавщини до Слобожанщини відомі варіанти пісні, в якій топиться Маринка. На південно-східних теренах України купальська обрядовість не набула поширення. Не існувало єдиного комплексу типового купальського святкування, що мав би колективно-обрядовий характер, і на Гуцульщині. Купальських пісень тут теж майже не співали. На Лемківщині купальська обрядовість і приурочені до неї пісні помітно позначені впливом близьких сусідів поляків і словаків, тому й свято в них здебільшого звалось не ’купалом’, а ’собіткою’ або ’св. Яном’.

Methods of uniform distribution of fibrous materials in asphalt materials with dispersed bitumen were studied. The key issue in this area is the technology of introducing reinforcing elements into the volume of asphalt concrete mix. Fiber from polyacrylonitrile fibers is considered as a reinforcing material. To achieve the maximum reinforcing effect for any materials, including asphalt, due to the introduction of short fibers and threads, their uniform distribution in semi-finished mixtures and in the formed structural material is necessary. The principal possibility of uniform distribution of reinforcing elements (in the form of short fibers of polyacrylonitrile fiber) in the volume of reinforced asphalt materials based on viscous dispersed bitumens is established. A method for the uniform introduction of fiber into the bitumen suspension for the arranging springing asphalt concrete layers has been developed. For the first time, a material from a bituminous suspension reinforced with polyacrylonitrile fiber, which is not destroyed in thin layers under the action of bending loads, but reversibly deformed, was obtained.

The results of studying the mechanical properties of vacuum insulation panels are presented. The compressive strength and deformation modules (elastic and secant) under compression and shear are determined. The dependence of the mechanical characteristics of vacuum insulation panels (VIP) on the type and quantitative ratio of fillers is shown. It is established that the diagram of deformation of the VIP under compression can be described by an analytical function. Experimental studies of the properties of VIP have established that the deformation diagram of VIP has the form characteristic for materials that self-strengthen during loading with a compressive load and is adequately described by the function of G. V. Bulfinger. A method is proposed for determining the coefficients α and β that makes it possible to verify the approximating function using experimental data. Polynomial models describing the dependence of the elastic modulus, strength, and thermal conductivity coefficient on the composition and quantitative ratio of fiber and powder fillers are developed. It is established that the numerical values of the strain modulus depend on the type, amount of powder filler, and their ratio to the fibrous filler. The values of strain and strength models increase with increasing content and size of filler particles. A method for determining the shear modulus for VIP has been developed. It has been experimentally established that the value of the shear modulus for VIP depends on both the filler composition and the characteristics of the panel film shell. Keywords: vacuum insulation panel, diatomite, silica fume, thermal conductivity, strength, compression, shear, modulus of deformation.
Carroll on the Emotion of Horror
Authors: Contesi Filippo
Published: November 2020

Noël Carroll’s influence on the contemporary debate on the horror genre is hard to overestimate. His work on the topic is often celebrated as one of the best instances of interdisciplinary dialogue between film studies and philosophy of art. It has provided the foundations for the contemporary study of horror in art. Yet, for all the critical attention that his views on horror have attracted over the years, little scrutiny has been given to the nature itself of the emotion of horror in the genre. This article offers a critical understanding of the nature of the emotion of horror for Carroll, with a view to informing future investigations into the nature of horror in film (and beyond).
Analytic Approaches and Critical Practices
Authors: Di Summa Laura T.
Published: November 2020

This article investigates the relationship between philosophical accounts of criticism, largely within the analytic tradition, and the practice of criticism. Specifically, I am interested in the performative, subjective, and often idiosyncratic nature of such a practice and in the advantages it can deliver in the understanding of works of mass art, in the inquiry over the nature of aesthetic judgments, and in initiating aesthetic appreciation. Promoting such a connection is also, in turn, a way of at least partially bridging the divide between analytic approaches and the kind of work more typically conducted by scholars in film studies.
IMPROVEMENT POTENTIAL FOR SOUND INSULATION OF SINGLE- AND MULTILAYER WALL PANELS
Authors: Erofeev V. I. , Monich D. V.
Published: November 2020

Relevance:Acoustic comfort in residential, public and industrial buildings. Existing types of wall panels often do not provide the required noise control.

Purpose:Investigation of the improvement potential for sound insulation of single- and multi-layer wall panels having finitegeometric dimensions with diffuse sound lowering.Design/methodology/approach:Consideration of the sound propagation through the wall panel based on the theory of selfcoordination of wave fields developed by the Prof. Sedov‟s scientific school.

Research findings:Analytical equations for calculating the limiting sound insulation of the wall panels determined by the inertial sound propagation. The improvement potential for sound insulation of single- and multi-layer wall panels having finite dimensions. Comparison of theoretical and xperimental results. It is shown that single- and multi-layer wall panels of finite geometric dimensions have improvement potential for sound insulation, which is determined by the ratio between their own and limiting sound insulation.

Practical implications:Wall panel design must take into account the improvement potential for sound insulation. The sound insulation of wall panels is improved without increasing their mass and thickness. This is of great importance for design solutions for wall panels of civil and industrial buildings.

Originality/value:The proposed method shows good agreement between experimental data and theoretical calculations. The improvement potential for sound insulation at the frequency level locates near the resonant frequencies, namely: near-boundary frequency of the full spatial resonance for single-layer wall panels; near-resonant frequency of the mass-elasticity-mass panels and near-boundary frequency of the full spatial resonance for multilayer wall panels and panel linings, respectively.

Authors: Ahmad Iqbal , Shah M. Anees Ul Husnain , Ahmad Muhammad Arslan
Published: November 2020

The English Language Teacher Learning Scale (ELTLS) has been tested in different academic fields worldwide. However, there is no evidence about its validation in Pakistan. This study reports on validation of ELTLS in Pakistan. The 49 items scale was tested on a sample of 112 teachers from pharmacy departments. The process of validation consisted of two stages. First, the scale was piloted to check reliability Second. Exploratory factor analysis was used to identify the factor structure of the scale. The four factors are teacher cognition, teacher emotion, teacher motivation, and contextual variables. The Principal Component Analysis was applied with orthogonal Varimox rotation method to test the four-factor scale. The results provided evidence for the reliability and validity of the scale. Hence, the scale may be used for assessing language teaching and learning among teachers and students in the field of pharmacy. It is recommended that ELTLS may be tested in other contexts.

The female teachers had more understandings about NOS than male teachers. The teachers of mathematics were positivists and decontextualized view of NOS. Male teachers were having an inductivist view of NOS. Physics teachers believed in inductivism. The teachers of chemistry were having process and realism view of NOS. Mathematics teachers were found to have contextualized NOS. It is recommended to provide orientation to science teachers in order to build NOS towards concept clarification during the process of the teaching-learning process.
The changing landscape of military medical malpractice: from the Feres Doctrine to present
Authors: Dewar Callum D. , Boulter Jason H. , Curry Brian P. , Bowers Dana M. , Bell Randy S.
Published: November 2020

Medical malpractice suits within the military have historically been limited by the Feres Doctrine, a legal precedent arising from a Supreme Court decision in 1950, which stated that active-duty personnel cannot bring suit for malpractice against either the United States government or military healthcare providers. This precedent has increasingly become a focus of discussion and reform as multiple cases claiming malpractice have been dismissed. Recently, however, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2020 initiated the first change to this precedent by creating an administrative body with the sole purpose of evaluating and settling claims of medical malpractice within the military’s $50 billion healthcare system. This article seeks to present the legal history related to military malpractice and the Feres Doctrine as well as discuss the potential future implications that may arise as the Feres Doctrine is modified for the first time in 70 years.
