Annotation
Purpose. Reduction of labor costs for the production of organic vegetable products through the creation and use of new methods and techniques for weed control.
Methods. Monographic, analytical, abstract-logical, structural modeling, design and manufacture of alternative technical means for the implementation of effective methods of weed control in the system of organic farming.
Results. The main alternative methods and technical means for weed control in the system of organic farming in the world and in Ukraine are identified. Currently, alternative methods of weed control are weed control by flame, hot water and steam, and electropulse weed control. In fire cultivation, when the soil heating temperature does not exceed 70 °C, proteins in weed plants are damaged in the “thread” stage. In phase 4–6 the leaves, at the same temperature, destroy up to 90 %, and in the later phase of development – up to 75 % of weeds.
Conclusions. An analysis of research and publications has shown that the use of known mechanical, thermal and electropulse weed control methods in various technological operations for growing crops will allow effective weed control in organic farming without the use of chemicals.
The high-precision navigation system developed in the NSC “IAEE”, which is capable of carrying out a machine-tractor unit at a predetermined trajectory with a deviation of ±2 cm, will solve the problem of combating weeds in the ranks of vegetables and ingun crops in the system of organic farming.
Keywords: organic farming, fire cultivation, weed control, steam and hot water, electropulse action.

Abstrak

Sekolah  merupakan produk layanan jasa dalam bidang pendidikan, jasa dimaksud adalah dalam melayani  kebutuhan orang tua untuk pendidikan anaknya terutama kebutuhan untuk Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini, pilihan orang tua dalam memilih sekolah untuk anak usia dini berbeda dengan memilih sekolah formal tingkat lanjut, banyak factor yang akan menjadi pertimbangan para orang tua untuk menentukan pilihannya salah satunya adalah referensi dari orang terdekat atau yang dikenal baik yang menyekolahkan anaknya di sekolah tersebut. Faktor referensi inilah yang harus dapat dikelola dengan baik oleh pihak internal sekolah dengan para stakeholder eksternal sebagai penjamin mutu dalam meyakinkan orang tua calon peserta didik akan mutu lembaga sekolah tersebut. Tujuan pendidikan di sekolah akan  tercapai  bila semua komponen internal sekolah dapat bekerja sama dengan baik, dan bukan hanya komponen internal sekolah saja tentunya diperlukan komponen dari luar sekolah atau eksternal , komponen eksternal sekolah terdiri dari orang tua peserta didik atau masyarakat sekitar yang berkepentingan baik secara langsung atau tidak langsung dalam  lembaga sekolah, begitu pentingnya peranan stakeholder eksternal ini dalam menjamin mutu sekolah TKQ Baitul Izzah sehingga dalam lima tahun ini peserta didiknya relative stabil.

Abstract

School is a service product in the field of education, the service in question is to serve the needs of parents for their children's education, especially the need for Early Childhood Education, the choice of parents in choosing schools for early childhood is different from choosing advanced formal schools, many factors that will be taken into consideration by parents in making their choice, one of the consideration is a reference from the closest or well-known person who sends their child to that school. This reference factor must be managed properly by the school's internal parties also with stakeholders external as indirect marketing  in convincing parents of prospective students of the quality of the school institution. The purpose of education in schools will be achieved if all the internal components of the school can work well together, and not only the internal components of the school, of course, components from the outside of school or external are needed, the external components of the school consist of parents of students or the surrounding community who are interested directly or indirectly in school institutions, the important role of external stakeholders is ensuring the quality of the TKQ Baitul Izzah’s school so that in these five years, the students are relatively stable.

ABSTRACT

To overcome the floods in Jakarta, DKI Jakarta's Water Resources Service alerted 144 (one hundred forty-four) pump houses that crossed the Ciliwung River. In addition to alerting the pump houses, DKI Jakarta also prepared 133 (one hundred thirty-three) portable (mobile) pumps spread over 5 (five) administrative cities. From the information obtained it is known that in January 2018 there was damage to the 1103 Series diesel engine piston, 50 kVA Generator drive, 36 kW operating in the Jakarta flood pump. Identified factors causing failure are preceded by a high-temperature indication on the cylinder wall which causes the piston to be stuck due to a lack of cylinder block lubrication. This study will identify the factors causing damage to the diesel engine flood pump in West Jakarta, analyze the failure of the piston engine diesel flood pump, determine precautionary measures, and determines maintenance techniques to avoid the same damage to the flood pump diesel engine piston, & analyzes the maintenance management system applied to the diesel engine. This study uses qualitative research methodology with the process of testing stages: macroscopic, metallographic, chemical composition analysis, hardness, SEM (Scanning Electron Macroscopy) which is equipped with EDXS (Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy) analysis, Schedule Oil Sampling. From the results of the discussion, it was found that the factors causing the piston diesel engine failure to the flood pump were very influential, by testing: 1) metallography obtained by the piston microstructure in the form of aluminum dendrite which indicated that the piston had local melting which resulted in local overheating; 2). viscosity (viscosity) of used oil is obtained: TBN (Total Base Number) on oil is a little low, oxidation is slightly above normal because of incomplete combustion, and there is an increase (difference) in the elements of Fe and Cu in used oil that is 9 ppm and 3 ppm, where if the Fe> content will cause damage to the Cylinder Block Liner & piston & if Cu> will cause failure to the bearing. From the results of this research, it is necessary to optimize the maintenance management system, namely: 1) implementing a Standard Operation Procedure for diesel engines (Inspection: fuel, radiator water, ACCU water, engine oil, R-S-T-N cable, ACCU cable, etc.); 2). perform predictive maintenance of diesel engine components (System maintenance: fuel flow, lubrication, air intake, and exhaust, cooling, starting system); 3). do preposterous maintenance (inspection: daily, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000, 8000 and 12000 hours).

Violence in Africa: Further Reflections on the Causes
Authors: Kanyandago Peter
Published: May 2022

This is not the first time that ESEAT has written on violence in Africa. In Fact, in 1999 a whole volume was devoted to violence. In 2010 I reviewed this volume. However, despite all these efforts, we see that inter and intra-state violence continues in many countries in Africa, including environmental violence. In this paper, while referring to what has already been written about, I try to reflect on what could have been left out in our search for causes of violence on the African continent. On the theoretical plane, I suggest that we should emphasise the fact that when theologising, we use and are influenced by our historical and cultural context. This comes out when we examine the root cause of environmental violence, where we argue that it is mainly to be explained by how the West has understood the bible, especially the creation story. Furthermore, I note that while looking for the root causes on the Africa continent, we have to revisit the way we conceive causality. Rather than limiting ourselves to the immediate and visible causes, we should also include remote and invisible causes in a way that we come to what I call cumulative causality, meaning that the different factors contributing to the phenomenon must be taken together. On the practical level, I refer to how Africa has been successively invaded since the 17th century BC. I argue that these invasions have negatively impacted Africa. I end by making suggestions on how to deal with this violence, by proposing the following: the importance of putting in place mechanisms and strictures for promoting justice; the importance of using the African worldview, including appropriate rituals, while working on the causes of violence; and cooperating with well-wishers from outside Africa in fighting the causes of violence
Social Image Annotation Based on Image Captioning

Published: May 2022

With the popularity of new social media, automatic image annotation (AIA) has been an active research topic due to its great importance in image retrieval, understanding, and management. Despite their relative success, most of annotation models suffer from the low-level visual representation and semantic gap. To address the above shortcomings, we propose a novel annotation method utilizing textual feature generated by image captioning, in contrast to all previous methods that use visual feature as image feature. In our method, each image is regarded as a label-vector of k userprovided textual tags rather than a visual vector. We summarize our method as follows. First, the image visual features are extracted by combining the deep residual network and the object detection model, which are encoded and decoded by the mesh-connected Transformer network model. Then, the textual modal feature vector of the image is constructed by removing stop-words and retaining high-frequency tags. Finally, the textual feature vector of the image is applied to the propagation annotation model to generate a high-quality image annotation labels. Experimental results conducted on standard MS-COCO datasets demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms existing classical models, mainly benefiting from the proposed textual feature generated by image captioning technology.

Published: May 2022

Tyrimo tikslas. Pateikti padidėjusio jautrumo vaistams reakcijų patofiziologinio mechanizmo molekulinių modelių ir šių reakcijų rizikos veiksnių analizę. Metodai. Atlikta selektyvi literatūros šaltinių, skelbtų nuo 2011 m. sausio 1 d. iki 2022 m. sausio 13 d., paieška „Google Scholar“ ir „Pubmed“ duomenų bazėse. Analizuotos 1 083 publikacijos, iš kurių 30 visiškai atitiko straipsnio koncepciją. Rezultatai. Išsamiai pateikta padidėjusio jautrumo vaistams reakcijų patofiziologinio mechanizmo molekulinių modelių bei rizikos veiksnių analizė, ypatingą dėmesį atkreipiant į paciento genetiką. Išvados. Padidėjusio jautrumo reakcijų vaistams atsirasti yra svarbūs rizikos veiksniai, susiję su paciento organizmo savybėmis, ypač žmogaus antigeno (angl. HLA) alelėmis, vartojamo vaisto farmakologinėmis savybėmis bei aplinka. Padidėjusio jautrumo reakcijos, vykstančios pagal hapteno, prohapteno modelį, paprastai yra greitos, joms būtinas hapteno pateikimas T ląstelių receptoriams (TCR) antigeną pristatančia ląstele. Pakitusios peptidų visumos ir p-i modelio reakcijos įprastai yra lėtos, joms nereikalingas hapteno susidarymo procesas, nes vaistas kaip antigenas tiesiogiai sąveikauja su TCR, HLA arba skverbiasi į HLA kišenę.
Migrenos gydymas: monokloniniai antikūnai kasdienėje praktikoje
Authors: Vainauskienė Jurgita
Published: May 2022

Monokloninių antikūnų prieš CGRP (angl. Calcitonine gene-related peptide – su kalcitonino genu susijęs peptidas) era pakeitė ne tik pacientų, bet ir dirbančių- jų galvos skausmo srityje gyvenimus. Pirmąkart žmonijos istorijoje pradėtas išskirtinai migrenai skirtas profilaktinį gydymas. Jau praėjo daugiau nei treji metai, kai Lietuvoje migrena gydoma biologine terapija [1]. Iš keturių (erenumabo, fremanezumabo, galkanezumabo ir eptinezumabo) šios vaistų klasės atstovų, du skiriami Lietuvoje. Pirmasis registruotas FDA (angl. U. S. Food and Drug Administration – JAV maisto ir vaistų administracija) ir EMA (angl. European Medicines Agency – Europos vaistų agentūros) monokloninis antikūnas prieš CGRP receptorių erenumabas („Aimovig“) „startuoliu“ tapo ir pas mus [2]. Grįžtamasis pacientų atsakas ir didėjanti klinikinė praktika, skiriant šį gydymą, leidžia džiaugtis gydymo rezultatais. Be abejo, daugėjant patirties, atsiranda klausimų dėl geresnės pacientų atrankos, gydymo trukmės, monokloninių antikūnų keitimo tarpusavyje, derinimo su kita nespecifine migrenos profilaktika, nepageidaujamų reiškinių stebėsenos ir įvertinimo. Visame pasaulyje atlikta daug mažų imčių realios klinikinės praktikos tyrimų, kuriais remiantis galima geriau įvertinti naujo specifinio migrenos gydymo naudą, iššūkius ir perspektyvas klinikinėje praktikoje.

Introduction
Authors: Marini Anna Marta , Álvarez Trigo Laura
Published: May 2022

In the spring of 2021, when academic work was still mostly virtual due to COVID-19 pan- demic measures, we celebrated the foundation of PopMeC—an academic association dedi- cated to US popular culture studies—organizing a virtual conference on the Gothic and its widespread presence in contemporary popular culture. With the idea of bringing a fresh ap- proach to online events and the traditional keynote format, the 50+ Shades of Gothic: The Gothic Across Genre and Media in US Popular Culture conference involved a series of interviews with renowned scholars working in the field of Gothic studies, who discussed various aspects of contemporary expressions and functions of the Gothic in popular culture texts. The interviews were carried out between February and April 2021, and the original recordings can be found on YouTube.1 Given the kind availability of our keynotes, we decided to compile the tran- scripts—edited by the interviewees and interviewers themselves in order to give them a pub- lishing shape—in this special issue. This collection follows the publication of REDEN vol. 3, no. 1 (2021), which contained a special dossier exploring the presence and different expres- sions of gothic modes in contemporary US popular culture.
Kewenangan Manusia Dalam Pembentukan Hukum Sebagai Perubahan Hukum

Published: May 2022

Perubahan hukum telah terjadi semenjak masa kenabian hingga saat ini. Hal tersebut sudah menjadi suatu keniscayaan dalam perubahan zaman dari masa ke masa, bahkan hingga saat ini yang sudah sangat berkembang sebagai jawaban dari persoalan sosial yang sangat beragam. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk memberikan penjelasan terkait persoalan tersebut dengan memakai pendekatan normatif yang lebih menitikberatkan pada analisis terhadap kewenangan manusia dalam pembentukan hukum, serta implementasinya terhadap perubahan hukum, khususnya hukum Islam. Adapun jenis data yang dipakai, yaitu jenis data kajian pustaka yang penulis peroleh dari berbagai literatur ataupun rujukan yang terkait, serta diolah dengan cara deskriptif-kualitatif. Hasil dari artikel ini menjelaskan bahwa manusia memang mempunyai hak dalam merubah hukum, namun manusia juga mempunyai batasan dalam hal tersebut. Batas kewenangan manusia dalam merubah hukum bahwa hukum yang dapat dirubah itu ialah hukum yang tidak terdapat suatu nash, serta ada nashnya, namun di dalam nash itu menjelaskan bahwa terdapat suatu hak atau kewenangan manusia untuk tidak melaksanakannya atau bahkan merubah hukum tersebut, sehingga perubahan hukum yang telah ditetapkan oleh manusia tetap diimplementasikan, serta menjadi pedoman dalam merespon perubahan zaman.

AbstractChanges in the law have occurred since the time of the prophesied to the present. This has become a necessity in the changing times from time to time, even today, which has been very developed as an answer to very diverse social problems. This paper aims to provide an explanation regarding this issue by using a normative approach that focuses more on the analysis of human authority in the formation of law, as well as its implementation of legal changes, especially Islamic law. The type of data used the type of literature review, data that the author obtained from various literatures or related references, and processed in a descriptive-qualitative way. The results of this article explain that humans do have the right to change the law, but humans also have limitations in this regard. The limit of human authority in changing the law is that the law that can be changed is the law that does not contain a text, and there is a text, but in the text, it explains that there is a human right or authority not to implement it or even change the law, so that changes in law that have been determined by humans are still implemented, and become guidelines in responding to changing times.

This article aims to improve the methodology and approaches in substantiation of a unified cartographic base for prospective study, planning, and placement of research, forecasting of new oil and gas accumulations. In this case, the basic objectives are the refinement of the regional structure of the Caspian region by taking into account the main geological events during the formation and development, a more precise stratification of the section, specifically, the possible higher detailing of the Devonian and Cenozoic part. To this end, the main “tools” are considered to be the analysis of the paleogeographic environment, and peculiarities of sediment accumulation, which substantiate the formation of centers of maximum filling with fragmentary material, and anomalous objects (large carbon-bearing platforms and atollshaped massifs, mega-elevations, areas with non-conventional conditions for the oil-and-gas-formation processes). According to the preliminary results, their formation was preceded by the development of accumulative sedimentary forms of diverse genesis and paleobathymetric zoning of the sedimentation basin. The structural plan of the region and local anomalies are evaluated with due regard for such non-conventional features for the exploration geology as the structure of the daylight surface terrain, and the pattern of manifestation of anomalies of potential physical fields. Finally, a more detailed cartographic base allows refining some previously substantiated regional regularities in the manifestations of various types of minerals (hydrocarbons, solid commercial minerals, groundwater, ore, and valuable components), unique processes associated with the genesis of anomalous geological features, from the perspective of exploring, forecasting and detection of new oil and gas accumulations. A unified cartographic base constitutes a key factor for the expansion and active integration of geological organizations of all the five Caspian littoral states.

This article highlights the geological and geochemical features of the oil field of the Caspian region of the territory of Kazakhstan. The ways of hydrocarbon migration, which were carried out in the direction of the southern steeper part of the Arystanov stage, are described. All the studies carried out over the previous years have shown that the composition of dispersed organic matter (kerogen) contained in Jurassic and Triassic sediments has a predominantly mixed, mixtinite composition. The factor causing long-range migration may be faults, including a high-amplitude fault in the junction zone of the Kosbulak trough with the Akkulkovsko-Bazaysky ledge and the Aral-Kyzylkum fault, to which the deepest parts of the Kosbulaksky and Barsakelmessky bends are confined, and rock fractures in various porous and permeable reservoir rocks can also serve. The presence of significant reserves of dry methane gas deposits in the Paleogene of the Akkulkovsko-Bazaysky ledge and the established manifestations of gas in the northern half of the Kyzyloysky shaft in Upper Cretaceous sediments are associated with their vertical and lateral migration within these ledges, including vertical along the faults. The unconformity surface at the foot of the Lower Jurassic sediments provides the development of organic life, plant growth, and clay residues deposited above these unconformities become good source rocks. According to all geochemical indicators, the Middle Jurassic rocks are oil-producing that are located in a favorable middle zone of mesocatagenesis. The main volumes of oil reserves discovered on the territory of Northern Ustyurt were found in the sediments of the Middle Jurassic. The results of geochemical studies in the future will allow basin modeling to be carried out with greater accuracy.
STUDY OF THE COMPOSITION OF NATURAL BITUMEN OF THE PETROBITUMINOUS ROCK OF THE SOUTH-WESTERN ESEKZHAL FIELD

This paper presents the study of the organic components of the petrobituminous rock of the South-Western Esekzhal deposit, depending on the depth of the petrobituminous rock and the establishment of the scope of natural bitumen depending on the quality and volume of the output of natural binder. Deposits of petrobituminous rocks of Western Kazakhstan are scattered over a significant area, for example, only in the Zhylyoi district of Atyrau region, near the city of Kulsary, there are more than 20 deposits of petrobituminous rocks. We have compiled a map showing the deposits of these oil-bituminous rocks. From the results of the experimental data obtained, it follows that with an increase in the depth of occurrence of oil-bitumen rocks, a decrease in the molecular weight from 543 to 504 a.m.u is observed. In the elemental composition of natural bitumen of the studied deposit, the carbon content varies from 81.3 to 83.1% by weight, while a clear pattern of dependence of the carbon content on the depth of occurrence has not been established. A similar pattern is observed in terms of hydrogen content (from 9.2 to 11.0% by weight). The sulfur content is from 2.4 to 4.5% by weight. The total nitrogen and oxygen content ranges from 3.2 to 5.1% by weight.
SANKARDEVA AND AMBEDKAR ON SOCIAL JUSTICE
Authors:   Assistant Professor Centre for Studies in Philosophy, Dibrugarh University, Dibrugarh, Assam (India)-786004, Kalita Kirtinath
Published: May 2022

This article is an attempt to single out the thoughts of Sankardeva and Ambedkar with special emphasis on equality and social justice. Sankardeva attempted to rescue the deprived people and establish equality and social justice in the form of a new socio-religious order called Neo-Vaisnavism, Eka-Sarana-Nama-Dharma. Ambedkar also attempted to free the Untouchables with other deprived sections of the society from casteism which was the most tragic outcome of the Vedic heritage. He favoured for a social democracy which will help to bring social equality and live with self-respect as well as dignity in the society. It seems that Ambedkar was always rationalistic in his philosophical thought, but Sankardeva was not more anxious to logical reasoning in his thought. This paper attempts to give a closer and an analytic insight into the ideas and ideals of both of them.

THE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC YEAR ON EXPORT: LITHUANIAN GRAVITY
Authors: Petrylė Vaiva
Published: May 2022

In this paper I construct gravity model for Lithuania and analyse pandemic-related changes of Lithuania’s goods export. Results suggest that pandemic resulted in a decreased export of aircraft, railway products, meat and preparations of cereals and milk. Positive influence was registered for beverages and spirits, tobacco, furniture, electric appliances, fuels, vehicles and medical and pharmaceutical products. I find that Lithuania’s export of products of higher complexity was more often affected positively by the pandemic. Results show positive influence of the pandemic for Lithuania’s export to countries of higher economic complexity and the ones having stronger trade relations with Lithu-ania. There was no relationship between the effects of the pandemic and the size of the destination countries.
