High Temperature Tribology of A413/B4C Nanocomposites under Dry Sliding Contact
Authors: Shinde Deepak M. , Poria Suswagata , Sahoo Prasanta
Published: August 2020

In this work, boron carbide (B4C) particulate (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 weight %) reinforced A413 alloy nanocomposites were fabricated by ultrasonic stir casting method. The prepared aluminum matrix nanocomposites were characterized using optical microscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy to observe particle dispersion and quantify microstructural features. A high temperature pin-on-disk tribo-tester was employed to investigate the dry sliding tribological behavior of fabricated nanocomposites and unreinforced alloy at a constant speed (0.66 m/s) and different loads (20, 60 N) over the temperature range of 50°C–200°C. Specimens were slid against an AISI SAE 52100 counterface for the fixed duration of 10 minutes. Worn surfaces were examined under the scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis was carried out to understand the wear mechanisms. It was revealed that the wear resistance of the alloy improved because of increasing B4C content. The wear rate of all specimens was found to increase with increased load and operating temperatures. A shift in the mild oxidative to severe metallic wear of an unreinforced alloy was seen increased by about 50°C–80°C because of particulate reinforcement. The mild abrasive wear mechanism of the base alloy at low temperature was changed to adhesion with heavy plastic deformation at elevated temperature. Increased thermal stability offered by boron carbide particles and oxides and a mechanically mixed transfer layer were key factors enhancing the wear resistance of the nanocomposites. Under the tested experimental conditions A413/B4C nanocomposite was found suitable and better than the base alloy for use in wear resistance applications.
Transnational Digital Intimacy Practices: Paradoxes of Transnational Connectivity and Home-Making among Young Adult Expatriates in Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Authors: Patterson Jeffrey , Leurs Koen
Published: August 2020

Personal and intimate consequences of cultural globalization have received little critical attention in comparison to scholarship on politics, finance, or the environment. Taking digital technology practices of young adult expatriates as an entry point to understand the emotional and affective consequences of transnational mobility, in this article we research the interrelated cultural politics of emotion, migration, and digitization of middle-class mobilities. Presenting a case study of digital experiences of young adult expatriates (aged fifteen to twenty-five years) living in the Netherlands, we seek to better understand how emotions and affects of middle-class transnational mobility are mediated through digital technologies. Our empirical argument draws from thirty-one semistructured, face-to-face in-depth interviews with young adult expatriates and smartphone photo-elicitation exercises. We develop the notion of transnational digital intimacy practices to address how transnational mobile subjects negotiate emotional precarity through selective smartphone and social media practices. Finally, we call into question the notion of “expatriates” as supposed elite mobiles with global privilege. This article is part of the Global Perspectives, Media and Communication special issue on “Media, Migration, and Nationalism,” guest-edited by Koen Leurs and Tomohisa Hirata.
The Kwame Nkrumah Legacy
Authors: Morrison Minion K. C.
Published: August 2020

Kwame Nkrumah’s notion of Pan-Africanism remains the formulation that guides the aspiration and organizational expression for the unity of the African continent. This analysis provides an elaboration of Nkrumah’s model for unity and situates his role at the moment of decolonization in the context of transformational leadership theory. Discussion then turns to the two most significant efforts to implement the Pan-African model: the development of a continental organization—the Organization of African Unity and the African Union—and the decolonization of the Gold Coast, which led to the founding of the state of Ghana. While the implementation of Nkrumah’s grand vision has not been realized, the legacy of his construct provides an enduring foundation for the aspiration to continental unity. Similarly, that same unity is reflected in the political culture and identity for the territory of Ghana, a feature of government stability. That territorial stability has not become the foundation stone for continental unity that Nkrumah imagined, but it also has not detracted from the enduring aspiration for that broader unity. In this regard the analysis shows both the possibilities and limits of transformational leadership.

Authors: Setyadi Sugeng , Syaifudin Rizal , Desmawan Deris
Published: August 2020

This research examines the influence of level of education and health rate as the measurement of human capital to productivity in East Java Provice, during 2009 to 2015. Variable of level of education is measured by literacy rate, while the variable of health rate is measured by infant mortality rate. The panel data analysis is used as research method, which is Fixed Effect Model is the best model than the other models. The research results show that the variable of level of education is not significant to productivity, whreas, the variable healt rate has negative and significant influence to productivity. The reason is because educated worker is not really nedded in East Java Province. Some workers with skills and experiences are preferred. Therefore, in this research literacy rate cannot be used as good proxy to measured variable of level of education. Moreover, a decrease in infant mortality rate is indicating that the health rate is good. Hence, productivity

Authors: Tajuddin Tajuddin , Ilyas Ilyas
Published: August 2020

The consequence of the implementation of regional autonomy is that the regions must have their own abilities to implement government affairs and regional development. There is some research on the financial performance of the area but is still done in a partial autonomic region only. This research compares the financial performance between the autonomic regions of the expansion and the parent area. Based on this, study aims to compare the financial performance of the parent regency and the expanded district. In this study financial performance is measured based on Regional Financial Independence (KKD) rastio, Fiscal Decentralization Degree (DDF) ratio and the Regional Financial Effectiveness Ratio (EKD). Overall, secondary data are used, namely the realization of Regional Original Revenues (PAD), PAD targets, Balancing Funds, Loan Funds, and Regional Expenditures. To answer the research problem, the data is processed using ratio analysis. The results showed that the Regional Financial Performance measured by the ratio of KKD and DDF in the parent regency was still higher than the KKD and DDF in the expanded districts. Both the parent district and the expanded districts of KKD and DDF are included in the Instructive category. The role of the central government is still very dominant in regional financing. In general, the expanded district EKD ratio was very effective while the parent district EKD ratio was generally included in the quite effective category. The financial performance of the regional results is better than the parent region due to the existence of autonomous regions to promote maximum income sources.

A note on Pell-Padovan numbers and their connection with Fibonacci numbers
Authors: Goy T.P. , Sharyn S.V.
Published: August 2020

In this paper, we find new relations involving the Pell-Padovan sequence which arise as determinants of certain families of Toeplitz-Hessenberg matrices. These determinant formulas may be rewritten as identities involving sums of products of Pell-Padovan numbers and multinomial coefficients. In particular, we establish four connection formulas between the Pell-Padovan and the Fibonacci sequences via Toeplitz-Hessenberg determinants.

Published: August 2020

Kardiyovasküler hastalıklar, dünyada ölümün başlıca sebebi olup, dislipideminin bu hastalıklar için neredeyse bir önkoşul olması dislipidemi yönetimini oldukça önemli hale getirmektedir. Yaşam tarzı değişiklikleri, dislipidemi yönetiminin en önemli basamağıdır. Yaşam tarzı değişikliklerini; diyet, alkol tüketimi, sigara bırakma, egzersiz ve fiziksel aktivite ve kilo verme alt başlıkları altında değerlendirmek uygun bir yaklaşım olacaktır. Yaşam tarzı değişiklikleri, bir dislipidemi olgusunda ilk uygulanması gereken eylemdir. Dislipidemi yönetimi hakkında farklı ülkelerde ve farklı kuruluşlarca birçok kılavuz yayımlanmıştır. Kılavuzlarda yer alan birçok konuda ortak nokta bulunsa da önerilerin kaynağının bilimsel çalışmalar olmasına rağmen yorumlamadaki farklılıklardan dolayı ihtilaflı konular da mevcuttur. İhtilaflı konuların özellikle yaşam tarzı değişikliklerinde yoğunlaştığı görülür, çünkü bu alanda güçlü ve kesin sonuçlar veren çalışmalar yapmak oldukça zordur. Özellikle günümüzde bu ihtilaflı konulardan çıkar sağlamaya çalışanlar olması daha fazla kafa karışıklığına neden olmaktadır. Bu derlemenin amacı, dislipidemi yönetimindeki bazı önemli hususlar hakkında kısa bilgiler verdikten sonra güncel kılavuzların yaşam tarzı değişiklikleri hakkındaki önerilerini değerlendirmektir.

Herpes zoster, arka kök gangliyonlarında sessiz kalan varisella zoster virüsünün tekrar aktivasyonu ile oluşur. Herpes zoster dermatomlara yerleşen akut, veziküler döküntü ile seyreden bir hastalıktır. Herpes zoster, sıklıkla ileri yaşta ve immunsuprese kişilerde görülürken, sağlıklı çocuklarda nadir görülür. Günümüzde herpes zosterin sağlıklı çocuklarda görülme sıklığı gittikçe artmaktadır. Bu artış, immunitenin tam gelişmediği erken çocukluk döneminde ya da intrauterin dönemde varisella enfeksiyonuna maruz kalma ile açıklanmaktadır. Herpes zoster %75 ile en sık torakal bölgeyi tutmakta iken olgumuzda olduğu gibi sakral tutulum %2 ile oldukça nadir görülmekte ve bu tutulum atipik prezentasyon olarak ifade edilmektedir. Herpes zoster çok nadir de olsa sağlıklı çocuklarda görülebilmekte ve daha iyi seyredip komplikasyonsuz iyileşmektedir. Sağlıklı çocukta herpes zoster gelişimini yoğun stres, kilo verme, bakteriyel, viral ve paraziter enfeksiyonlar kolaylaştırmaktadır Aile hekimliği polikliniğine Ekim 2018 tarihinde sağ bacak popliteal bölgede veziküler döküntülerle başvuran kız çocuğu değerlendirildi.

Published: August 2020

Giriş: Kistik fibrozis otozomal resesif geçen ve beyaz ırkta 1:3000 doğum da bir görülen mortalitesi ve morbiditesi yüksek, kronik bir hastalıktır. Erken tanı, hastaların yaşam süresi ve kalitesini etkilemektedir. Türkiye’de, Ocak 2015 tarihi itibariyle kistik fibrozis yenidoğan tarama testi uygulanmaya başlanıldı. Bu çalışma; birinci basamakta çalışan aile hekimlerinin kistik fibrozis hastalığı ve kistik fibrozis yenidoğan tarama testi konusundaki bilgi düzeylerini ölçmeyi amaçlamıştır.Yöntem: Çalışmaya Malatya ilinde çalışan ve gönüllü olan toplam 115 aile hekimi dahil edilmiştir. Aile hekimleriyle yüz yüze görüşmeler araştırmacılar tarafından yapıldı ve KF hastalığıyla ilgili önceden hazırlanmış anket formu dolduruldu. Çalışma için Malatya ili Klinik Araştırmalar Etik Kurulu Başkanlığı’ndan onay alınmıştır. İstatistiksel değerlendirme SPSS (SPSS for Windows, Version 20.0, SPSS Inc, U.S.A) paket programı kullanılarak gerçekleştirildi.Bulgular: Aile hekimlerinin ortanca yaşı 42 (30-50) yaş olup, 65 (%56,5)’i erkek idi. Katılımcıların meslekteki ortanca süresi 17 yıl (5-25) idi. Aile hekimlerinin kistik fibrozis hastalığı konusundaki bilgi düzeylerine bakıldığında; 103 (% 89,6)’ü hastalığın otozomal resesif geçtiğini biliyordu. Kistik fibrozisi düşündüren belirtiler sorulduğunda; aile hekimlerinin %80,9’u büyüme geriliği ve %90,4’ü tekrarlayan akciğer enfeksiyonunun kistik fibrozisi düşündürdüğünü belirtti. Katılımcıların % 96,5’i kistik fibrozis tanısı için ter testi yapılması gerektiğini bilmelerine rağmen, ter testi pozitifliği için terdeki Cl konsantrasyonunun 60 mmol/L’nin üzerinde olması gerektiğini ancak %31,3’ü biliyordu. Katılımcıların %84,3’ü Türkiye’de yenidoğan döneminde kistik fibrozis tarama testinin yapıldığını biliyordu. KF testi pozitif çıkan hastaların kistik fibrozis merkezine gönderilmesi gerektiğini ise katılımcıların %62,6’sı doğru olarak cevapladı. Katılımcılara kistik fibrozisli hastaların izlemi konusundaki bilgileri sorulduğunda; sadece 21’i (%17,3) hastaların 3-6 ay aralarla kontrollere gitmeleri gerektiğini biliyordu. Katılımcıların sadece 39’u (%33,9) kistik fibrozisli hastaların düzenli göğüs fizyoterapisine devam etmeleri gerektiğini biliyordu.Sonuç: Birinci basamakta çalışan aile hekimlerinin kistik fibrozis hastalığı ve izlemi konusundaki bilgi düzeyleri yetersizdir. Bu nedenle Kistik fibrozis hastalığı için tıp fakültelerindeki mezuniyet öncesi eğitime ve mezuniyet sonrası mesleki eğitime önem verilmelidir.

Published: August 2020

Amaç: Dünyada uzman hekimlerin branşlara özgü dağılımı önemli bir sorundur. Birinci basamakta yüksek kalitede bir sağlık hizmeti için, aile hekimliği uzmanlarının sayısının artması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışma, tıp fakültesi son sınıf öğrencilerinin kariyer seçimlerini, bunları etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek ve aile hekimliği uzmanlığına bakışlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı bu çalışmaya Eylül 2018 - Ekim 2018 tarihleri arasında Gaziantep Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi altıncı sınıf öğrencisi 132 kişi dahil edilmiştir. Katılımcılara tıp fakültesini seçme nedenleri, uzmanlık seçiminde etki eden faktörler ve aile hekimliği uzmanlığı ile ilgili görüşlerini içeren anket uygulanmıştır.Bulgular: Öğrencilerin %10,6’sı mezun olduktan sonra aile hekimi olarak çalışmayı istemektedir. Erkek öğrencilerin kariyer tercihlerinde en çok istedikleri ilk üç uzmanlık dalı KBB, iç hastalıkları, göz, kız öğrencilerin deri ve zührevi hastalıklar, iç hastalıkları, çocuk ve ergen ruh sağlığı ve hastalıkları uzmanlık alanı olduğu bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin %7,5’inin ilk üç tercihi arasında aile hekimliği uzmanlığı yer alırken, %21,2’sinde yan dal uzmanlık alanlarının olduğu saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin %56’sının aile hekimi ve aile hekimliği uzmanı arasında ‘çok az farklılık olduğunu’ düşündüğü bulunmuştur. Aile hekimliği uzmanı olmak isteyenlerin oranı %9 olup %31’i diğer uzmanlık dallarını kazanamazlarsa düşüneceklerini belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin aile hekimliği uzmanlığını; maddi getiri %58.3, iş-yaşam dengesi %84.8, rahatlık-kolaylık-nöbetlerin olmaması %88.6, insanlara faydalı olma %48.4, risk ve sorumluluk özellikleri %67,4 oranlarında iyi olarak değerlendirilirken, eğlenceli, ilginç olması, monoton-sıkıcı olmaması %56,8, saygınlık (prestij) %46,2, akademik kariyer özellikleri %43,9 oranlarında iyi değil olarak değerlendirdiği bulunmuştur.Sonuç: Sonuç olarak tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinin tıpta uzmanlaşmayı hatta yan dal uzmanlık alanlarını planladıkları, aile hekimliği uzmanlığına ilgilerinin düşük olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu nedenle mezuniyet öncesi tıp eğitiminde, aile hekimliği ile ilgili dersler verilerek bir uzmanlık dalı olarak aile hekimi uzmanlığı vurgulanmalıdır. Aile hekimliği uzmanlığının daha tercih edilebilir olması ve toplum tarafından saygınlığının arttırılması için gerekli önlemlerin alınması ve çalışmaların yapılması gerekmektedir.

Authors: Pastarmadzhieva D.
Published: August 2020

The electoral system of a country is related to the political, economic and social areas of life. Their functioning directly or indirectly depends on it and the different types and subtypes of electoral systems produce different effects.
The purpose of the current study is to identify if there is a relation between the statute of the least developed countries and their electoral system. The object of the study are countries, defined as least developed in 2018 by the United Nations. The focus is the type of electoral system for the legislative body (or its lower chamber in case of bicameralism) of these countries, their regime type, overall score and the score for electoral process and pluralism according to EIU Democracy Index 2018.
For the purposes of the analysis statistical methods (frequencies, hypothesis test and chi-square test) and comparative approach are used. The results show that there is statistically significant relationship between the statute of least developed countries and their electoral system on one hand and their regime type on other. There is also a statistically significant difference in the scores of least developed countries compared to all others regarding the evaluation of democracy and the electoral process and pluralism.
ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF THE SHEEP FARM OF BLACK-HEADED PLEVEN SHEEP IN THE VILLAGE OF HITRINO, SHOUMEN DISTRICT
Authors: Stankov K.
Published: August 2020

The aim of the present study is to perform an economic evaluation of a sheep farm in a herd under the control of the Sheepdog Shepherd in the village of Hitrino, Shumen district. The herd consists of 234 sheep, incl. 170 ewes, 6 males and 60 females. Milk for a dairy ewe period is 92 liters, and fertility 1.3 lambs. Productivity, revenue and expenditure data is taken from the farm accountancy data. Data processing is based on the mathematical and statistical model of an Excel computer program. Revenue from milk accounted for 38.5% of the total share, and 59.86% for meat. Wool is bought at very low prices and takes a negligible share of revenue. Variable costs accounted for 55.9% and fixed 44.1%. The main share of the variable costs is taken by the feed, which accounts for 78.72% of these and 44% of the total costs. 91.77% of fixed costs are for labor and their share is 40.47% of total costs. The subsidies amounted to BGN 140 and with them the revenues increased by 31.9% and contributed to the closing of BGN 58.29 profit from the sheep-mother, while without them the farm ended with a loss of 81.71 BGN. Profitability with subsidies is + 13.29% and no subsidies - 27.38%. Subsidies are + 15.33%, and without subsidies -21.49%. The results of the study show that, without providing subsidies, sheep of the Blackheaded Sheep Sheep are ending up with a loss.

INFLUENCE OF UNDERGROUND MINE PARAMETERS ON THE VALUE OF DAYLIGHT SURFACE SETTLEMENT OF UNDERMINED TERRITORY
Authors: Bogomolova O. A , Zhidelev A. V
Published: August 2020

The article presents the analysis results of influence of shape and dimensions of cross-section, laying depth of mine, cross-section shape and dimensions of underground mine on the daylight surface settlement of undermined territory depending on the different numerical values of the soil lateral pressure coefficient of the surrounding soil. The numerical solution was obtained in an elastic setting using the computer programs «FEA» and «Stability». In the calculations, the elastic modulus of the enclosing rocks is taken equal to the dimensionless constant E /γ H = 500 (where γ; H are the rocks volumetric weight and laying depth of mine), therefore, the numerical values of the vertical displacements gained as a result of the calculations are also dimensionless. This approach is convenient for both quantitative and qualitative analysis, because not only specific values of vertical displacements are considered, but also change patterns of their values depending on changes in the numerical values of the variables of the calculated parameters. Assuming that the displacements in the linear formulation of the problem are inversely proportional to the elastic modulus, their magnitudes can be determined for any other value of E . It was established the vertical displacements of earth’s surface points located above the mine, provided that the depth of its laying is more than 15.2 m and the dimensions of the cross section are greater than 4×4 m, significantly depend on the shape of the cross section and the lateral pressure coefficient of the surrounding rock. In addition, smaller vertical precipitation of the daylight surface corresponds to an underground mine having an exotic and «non-technological» cross section in the deltoid form. Therefore, the problem arises is to obtain such an optimal cross-sectional shape of the mine that would ensure the minimum precipitation of the earth's surface. The cross-sectional shape of the mine must be as “technological" as possible according to its advancement. The subject of further research is the solution of these problems.
THE EFFECT GRAIN-SIZE COMPOSITION ON THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF SANDY SOILS
Authors: Zakharov A. V , Makhover S. E
Published: August 2020

Today the issue of energy saving is acute. The main sources of energy are radiant energy of the Sun, wind energy, energy of moving water. Therefore, the issue of solving alternative energy sources is relevant. The article aims to solve the problem by using low-potential heat of the soil mass by means of energy-efficient building constructions - foundations. It is necessary to know the thermal characteristics of soils for this. At the moment, methods for determining the thermophysical properties of inert materials with subsequent practical application in the field of construction have been widely studied, but no one of these methods takes into account the grain-size composition. Thus, the study of the connection between the thermal conductivity and the grain-size composition of the soil is important. The aim of the work is to Estimation of thermal conductivity of sandy soils based on grain-size composition. This article presents an analysis of the dependence of the thermal conductivity of the sandy soil of its grain-size composition. The matrix of experiment planning is made; the methodology and technological sequence of the experiment were tested. Statistical processing of the obtained experimental data was carried out. Based on a series of test experiments, it was concluded that there are two factors competing in its thermal conductivity: an increase in λ due to an increase in the degree of pore filling and a decrease in total heat conductivity due to a decrease in the degree of pore filling. These results suggest that grain-size composition has an impact on the thermal conductivity of the sandy soil. During the experiment, the dependence of the thermal conductivity of sandy soils on their grain-size composition was experimentally established.
DETERMINATION OF DEFORMABILITY PARAMETERS OF CONCRETE SAMPLES BY THE FORMULAS OF FRACTURE MECHANICS
Authors: Bondarev B. A , Chernousov N. N , Sturova V. A
Published: August 2020

To determine the deformability parameters of concrete samples by the formulas of fracture mechanics, equilibrium tests were carried out at the stage of local deformation of the sample, which showed the correspondence of the change in external forces to the internal forces of the material resistance with the corresponding static development of the main crack. For the same purpose, the samples are tested for bending with an initial notch and the “load-deflection” diagram is recorded. In this work, we presented a test scheme for a specimen with a notch (crack) and constructed a diagram of the deformation of a specimen under bending “load-deflection”. Based on it, it is possible to predict the destruction of the material, that is, to determine the value of the load at which the limit value of deflection or the displacement of the outer edges of the notch (opening the throat of the crack on the lower surface of the specimen) can be taken as the moment of loss of the resource of the material. Also, we examined the deformation of a concrete sample during three-point bending and presented a diagram of the deformation of a concrete sample within the plastic zone. Dependencies were derived for determining the ultimate relative strains under tension and bending. Based on the results obtained, the state diagrams of the stretched concrete and the deformation scheme of the normal section of the concrete sample were constructed. As a result, the conclusion and convergence of the results.

A Bridge Across Our Fears
Authors: Condon Frankie
Published: August 2020

Bean is a composite character who plays a leading role in the counterstories that compose this essay. In the context of his "Annals," Bean, quite inadvertantly, both challenges his white teacher's efforts to cultivate and enact an anti-racist pedagogy and provides opportunities for her to try, fail, learn from failure, and try again. In these excerpts, Bean's teacher learns that she must begin to acknowledge and address her own anger, as well as Bean's, and to discern the difference between fear and discomfort as she engages with Bean's dual performances of whiteliness and (toxic) masculinity.
Humanism: Ideology and Reality Conflict
Authors: Galkienė Alvyra , Bunikytė Ieva
Published: August 2020

Meilė Lukšienė’s perception of school is filed with values of humanism, national and civic culture, and the imperative of a harmonious combination of high level of education, critical mind and free will. However, the insightful researcher foresaw and claimed that “it is rare that there should be no gap between an idea and its realization” and she warned at the same time that “… another wave is rolling, levelling all the people and disturbing the revival of their dignity; it is the power of money, the power of commercialism, growing constantly stronger. It manipulates the lowest human instincts and urges (the entire industry of excessive entertainment and sex!), earning from them. Can it bypass schools and educational institutions of all levels?”

The article presents a research, which aims at revealing the reasons of bullying at school in terms of social attitude, as a conflict between humanistic ideas and the reality. A Lithuanian media website www.delfi.lt, where various articles on topics relevant to Lithuania are published, was chosen for the research. 4 articles on bullying were selected for the research and commentaries on them were analysed. The study sample was formed by selecting commentaries according to the following criteria: the commentary had to be logical, ethical, unoffending and informative for the purpose of the study. A total of 186 commentaries on bullying were analysed in terms of their textual meaning.

The research results showed that humanistic ideas are confronted in school reality with the behavior manifesting through bullying that destroys a person’s dignity and psychological balance. It was established that the reasons of bullying lie within leisure, home, and school environment. They are provoked by the following:

TV programs full of examples of bullying and violence as well as the low level of culture of the social actors speaking in the public space;

Undesirable behavioral models of the parents, observed by the children at home (slander, violence against family members, physical punishment of children);

Scarce parental care and consideration of the children caused by the lack of upbringing skills of time;

Limited pedagogical ethics in the behavior of teachers, the supply of informal education activities at school insufficiently meeting the children’s needs.

It was already in 1997 when Meilė Lukšienė suggested an insightful way out: “<…> together with the entire society to analyse the channels and forms of human deformation soberly and responsibly, and look for ways to stop the deformation with joint effort.”
