Agricultural Development in Thailand: Experience and Implications for Vietnam
Authors: Ngoc Vinh Bao
Published: March 2020

Agriculture in Thailand has developed as it is today because of the long-term strategic vision of the government. Since the 1980s, agricultural development policy has used a variety of marketing principles, which ensures that there is aharmonious development with rural areas. Agricultural development policies in Thailand faced a lot of challenges such as the narrowed farming area, a large number of rural labor force moving to urban, farmers getting no benefits from government policies.

The research shed light on agricultural development policies in Thailand, especially key points in agricultural extension policies, agricultural support, rural industrialization policies, modern scientific applications, foreign  investment in agriculture, and then drawing some policies in sustainable agriculture development in our country.

Anion Charge-Lattice Volume Maps for Searching Lithium Superionic Conductors
Authors: Xu Zhenming , Zhu Hong
Published: March 2020

The effects of anion charge and lattice volume (lithium-anion bond length) on lithium ion migration have been investigated by utilizing the density functional theory calculations combined with the anion framework models, e.g. fcc, hcp and bcc. It is found that the anion charge and lattice volume have great impacts on the activation energy barrier (Ea) of lithium ion migration, which is validated by some reported sulfides. For the tetrahedrally occupied lithium, the less negative anion charge is, the lower the lithium ion migration barrier is likely to be. While for the octahedrally occupied lithium, the more negative anion charge is, the lower the lithium ion migration barrier is. The large lattice volume (lithium-anion bond length) can lower Ea to a certain extent. Lithium ion direct migrations along the direct Tet-Tet pathway in the bcc- or hcp-type anion framework are less sensitive to anion charge and lattice volume than other pathways. Most importantly, based on the full understandings of anion framework model, new design rules for developing alkali-metal superionic conductors were proposed. Getting the desired electronegativity difference between the anion element and non-mobile cation element by selecting the most suitable non-mobile cation element without changing the crystal structure framework can eventually achieve low Ea for alkali-metal ion migration. For the desired alkali-metal superionic conductors with tetrahedrally occupied alkali-metal ions, the fine non-mobile cation element should give preferences to those elements located at the right top of the periodic table of elements with large electronegativities. For the alkali-metal superionic conductors with octahedrally occupied alkali-metal ions, the fine non-mobile cation element should give preferences to the elements located at the left bottom of the periodic table with small electronegativities.
Hydrophobic Nanoparticles Drives Size-Dependent Remodelling in Asymmetric Bilayers
Authors: Noh Sang , Notman Rebecca
Published: March 2020

The interactions between heterogeneous components in a biomimetic bilayer controls its physical properties such as its rigidity, local and bulk curvature and propensity towards phenomena such as membrane fission and fusion. In particular, membrane proteins (MPs) and nanoparticles (NPs) have been subjects of intense interest due to their similar scale to the bilayer width and because of their ability to affect local membrane structure. However, how such NPs interact in the presence of heterogeneous aggregates in the bilayer has been the subject of much debate, especially its effect on raft-like structures. To better understand the effects of hydrophobic integration of nanoscale components on such raft-like structures, we have simulated a series of generic hydrophobic NPs interacting with a phase-separating two-component surfactant bilayer. We find that the hydrophobic NP tends to aggregate at the phase interface, acting as a line tension relaxant i.e. a lineactant on the phase separated interface, which results in differing demixing behavior. In particular, we demonstrate that depending on the size of the NP, the effect of the line tension can drive the a cap/bud formation around the NP, ultimately resulting in the formation of a NP-micelle structure.

Solution Structure of a Europium-Nicotianamine Complex Supports That Phytosiderophores Bind Lanthanides
Authors: Kaliakin Danil , Monteiro Jorge , de Bettencourt-Dias Ana , Cantu David
Published: March 2020

We report the solution structure of a europium-nicotianamine complex predicted from ab initio molecular dynamics simulations with density functional theory. Emission and excitation spectroscopy measurements show that the Eu3+coordination environment changes in the presence of nicotianamine, suggesting complex formation, and strongly supporting the predicted Eu3+-nicotianamine complex structure from computation. We used our recently optimized pseudopotentials and basis sets for lanthanides to model Eu3+-ligand complexes with explicit water molecules in periodic boxes, effectively simulating the solution phase. Our simulations consider possible chemical events (e.g. coordination bond formation, protonation state changes, charge transfers), as well as ligand flexibility and solvent rearrangements. Our computational approach correctly predicts the solution structure of a Eu3+-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid complex within 0.05 Å of experimentally measured values, backing the fidelity of the predicted solution structure of the Eu3+-nicotianamine complex. Emission and excitation spectroscopy measurements were also performed on the well-known Eu3+-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid complex to validate our experimental methods. The electronic structure of the Eu3+-nicotianamine complex is analyzed to describe electron densities and coordination bonds in greater detail. Nicotianamine is a metabolic precursor of, and structurally very similar to, phytosiderophores, which are responsible for the uptake of metals in plants. Although knowledge that nicotianamine binds europium does not determine how plants uptake rare earths from the environment, it strongly supports that phytosiderophores bind lanthanides.

Benoxacor Is Enantioselectively Metabolized By Rat Liver Subcellular Fractions
Authors: Simonsen Derek , Cwiertny David M. , Lehmler Hans-Joachim
Published: March 2020

This study investigated the enantioselective metabolism of benoxacor, an ingredient of herbicide formulations, in rats in vitro. Benoxacor was incubated for ≤ 30 minutes with microsomes or cytosol from female or male rat livers, and its enantioselective depletion was measured using gas chromatographic methods. Benoxacor was depleted in incubations with active microsomes, suggesting its metabolism by hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes. In the presence of glutathione, benoxacor was also depleted in cytosolic incubations, consistent with its metabolism by glutathione S-transferases. The depletion of benoxacor was faster in incubations with cytosols from male than female rats, whereas no statistically significant sex-differences was observed in microsomal incubations. Microsomal incubations showed an enrichment of the first eluting benoxacor enantiomer (E1-benoxacor). A greater enrichment occurred in incubations with microsomes from female (EF=0.67±0.01) than male rats (EF=0.60±0.01). Cytosolic incubations from female rats resulted in enrichment of E1-benoxacor (EF=0.54±0.01), while cytosolic incubations from male rats displayed enrichment of the second eluting enantiomer (E2-benoxacor; EF=0.43±0.01). Sex-dependent differences in the metabolism of benoxacor in rats could significantly impact ecological risks and mammalian toxicity. Our results also suggest changes in the enantiomeric enrichment of benoxacor may be a powerful tool for source apportionment and environmental fate and transport studies.

Published: March 2020

This study aims at finding out the relationship between the number of particles and the volume by using the gas kinetic theory model. In this study, the data collection was conducted three times employing different particle numbers, namely 10 particles, 20 particles and 30 particles group. During the data collection process, the scale reading of the load height was done when the load collision has been going on for 20 seconds. Based on the observations, it can be obtained that the more the number of particles, the greater the volume. The graph analysis also reveals that the slope of the three graphs varies. Graph 4.1 and graph 4.2 share the same slope that is 0.1, while the slope of graph 4.3 is 0.095. The slope of the graph illustrates that once the number of  particle increases, the position of the piston will also go up. In other words, it can be said that the changes in the position of the piston (v) is directly proportional to the number of particles (n).Keywords: Kinetic Theory Of Gases, Volume, Piston Position, ParticlePenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan jumlah partikel dengan volume menggunakan model teori kinetic gas.

We then compare the problems, suggested solutions, and recent evidence about the work of teacher education in New Zealand, to discuss the policy discourse, and theorise about the potential utility of solutions to address the problems raised. Our comparative analysis of the problems of ITE and proposed policy solutions with research evidence of teacher education work underscores the imperative of engagement with local and relevant evidence-based knowledge as a basis for informed policy decision making.
How can I get that good grade again? Improving Pasifika student achievement in NCEA with a motivation intervention
Authors: Sanders Peter , Boyte Andre
Published: March 2020

Students who are underachieving in secondary school are likely to hold maladaptive motivation orientations that, unless changed, will have a negative impact on their future achievement. In this study 57 students from two schools with large Pasifika populations were offered supplementary teaching and learning opportunities via two different study skills programmes to improve their motivation and achievement. Participants (including 28 Pasifika students) were randomly assigned to either a traditional study skills (TS) or a motivation-enhanced study skills (MS) programme. NCEA results showed that students in the MS intervention attained more credits and showed significantly greater reduction in the negative motivation orientation uncertain control, compared to students in the TS skills programme. Students also reported that their relationships with their teachers and how their teachers communicated with them about learning was important to their motivation and achievement. Based on these findings, recommendations are made for teacher use of internally assessed NCEA standards as the context for interventions designed to enhance student motivation and achievement, in light of proposed changes to NCEA.
An Integrative Review on the Research on the Impact of Teacher Inquiry on Student Achievement
Authors: Turner-Adams Hana , Wilson Aaron , Jesson Rebecca
Published: March 2020

This review investigated the impact of teacher inquiry on student achievement and identified characteristics of effective inquiry.  We first explore the theoretical underpinning inquiry research and then discuss studies that demonstrated an association between an inquiry and student achievement shifts. Effective teacher inquiries had a focus on student achievement, sufficient time, teacher engagement and collaboration, external expertise, and leaders’ support. When the aspects above were present, the potential for the intervention to demonstrate positive shifts in student achievement increased. Barriers to effective inquiry are also suggested. The review concludes with implications and recommendations for future research studies.
Active Rules in a Graph Database Environment
Authors: Jin Ying , Bharath Vadlamannati , Shah Jinaliben
Published: March 2020

With the rapid growth of data nowadays, new types of database systems are emerging in order to handle big data, known as NoSQL databases. One type of NoSQL databases is graph database, which uses the graph model to present data and the relationships among data. Existing graph database systems are passive compared to traditional relational database systems that allow automatic event handling through active rules. This paper describes our approach of incorporating active rules into graph databases, allowing users to specify business logic in a declarative manner. The active system has been built on top of a passive graph database to react to events automatically. Our focus is to specify business rules declaratively rather than enforce integrity constraint using rules. Our system consists of a language framework and an execution model. Language specification will further be illustrated by on a motivating example that shows the use of rules in an application context. The paper also describes the design and implementation of the execution model in detail.

Published: March 2020

In this paper we propose new real time architectures for monitoring underwater oil and gas pipelines by using underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN). New monitoring architectures for underwater oil/gas pipeline inspection system combine a real time UWSN with nondestructive In Line Inspection (ILI) technology. These architecture will help in reducing or detecting the pipeline’s defects such as cracks, corrosions, welds, pipeline’s wall thickness ...etc by improving data transfer from the pipeline to the processor to extract useful information and deliver it to the onshore main station. Hence, decreasing delays in default detection.
New Approach to Teaching Computer Programming to Freshmen
Authors: Sukhodolsky Jacob
Published: March 2020

Freshmen who take an introductory computer programming course often ask their classmates for help. In some cases, they even copy each other’s programs. That is being considered as cheating. The problem of cheating in Computer Science students’ homework assignments so far has been handled mainly through administrative punishment of the cheaters. The success of such an approach depends to a large degree on the ability of the instructor to recognize the fact of cheating, which is a complicated task. With a large number of students taking the course, identifying the cheaters sometimes requires considerable time. The author of this paper suggests a way of solving the cheating problem by encouraging students’ cooperation rather than trying to fight it. He also suggests the way of changing the course grading policy emphasizes the importance of regular checking the students’ understanding of the course material.
Economia e ética. Uma reflexão sobre as quatro últimas décadas no Brasil
Authors: Vervier Jacques Hilaire
Published: March 2020

Nossa reflexão não é abstrata, mas tem, como ponto de partida, os dois grandes eventos macroeconômicos que marcaram as quatro últimas décadas no Brasil: a inflação e o desemprego. O que foi chamado, com muita propriedade, “a cultura da inflação” e a tragédia social do desemprego nos conduziram a apontar as potencialidades e os limites da economia de mercado, e de sua problemática subjacente: a escassez. Levaram-nos também a analisar o dilema aparente e eticamente desconfortável entre a eficiência e a justiça. A perspectiva de uma alocação universal, de uma renda mínima incondicional e independente do trabalho, poderia fixar o horizonte utópico (no bom sentido) de nossa sociedade.Abstract: Our reflection is not abstract. But it has, as a starting point, the two great macro-economic events that marked the last four decades in Brazil: inflation and unemployment. What was called, with much propriety, “an inflation culture”, and the social tragedy of unemployment led us to point out the potentialities and the limits of the marke teconomy, and its underlying problem: scarcity. They also led us to analyse the apparent and ethically uncomfortable dilemma between efficiency and justice. The perspective of a universal allocation of a minimum income unconditional and independent of work, could become the utopian (in the good sense) horizon of our society.

Authors: Bordun Oresta , Romaniv Pavlo
Published: March 2020

This exploratory article attempts to generalize knowledge and approaches to the understanding of tourism as integrating concepts in scientific discourse on the study and research of tourism as a phenomenon of human life.
There are new requirements in the study of theoretical and applied some problems before tourism science, in particular at the level of understanding of tourism as an object of scientific knowledge. The topical theoretical task is to harmonize the understanding and interpretation of tourism science, tourismology, their parts, the improvement of the concept of the separation of object-subject and methodological foundations of scientific disciplines. To solve these and other actual problems, it is necessary to combine the efforts of various sciences and their parts, individual scientists nationally and globally.
The article deals with the peculiarities of tourism as a social phenomenon, an object of scientific knowledge and research, an efficient branch of economics, a part of fundamental and applied sciences, and its structure. Each science has its own subject and object of research and is a synthesis of knowledge about the phenomena of reality that it studies. However, it certainly is in certain interrelationships with other sciences. Thus, the methodological functions of tourism and tourismology are considered, such as: integrative, system-forming, structural-functional.
Approaches to understanding the essence of tourism, tourism, as the fundamental categories in the scientific sense of the main object of research – tourism are described.
Particular attention is paid to the geography of tourism, its place in the system of sciences and individual disciplines, their connection between them and their mutual influence. The basic directions of tourism studies are defined: the philosophy of tourism, the history of tourism, praxeology of tourism, the geography of tourism, cultural studies of tourism. We have identified tourismology and positioned it in the classification scheme over tourism in the context of scientific substantiation and conceptualization of theoretical and practical foundations of tourism studies with all its components.
Key words: tourism, tourism science, tourismology, tourism geography, classification.
Engineering-geological characteristic of the sediments of the loess-palaeosol sequence of the key section Lysohora (Podolian Upland)
Authors: Bogucki Andriy , Voloshyn Petro , Tomeniuk Olena
Published: March 2020

The Lysohora key section is one of the most complete and interesting sections of the loess-palaeosol sequence of the eastern part of Podolian Upland. This is the area where the Pleistocene loess-palaeosol sequence was deposited directly on the rocks of Precambrian crystalline shield, its weathered part (eluvium). The value of engineering-geological research of the section is increasing due to the fact that it is located near the city of Vinnytsia, which has been intensively built up in recent years.
We emphasize that in this section Upper Pleistocene loesses play a minor role. The value of the Middle Pleistocene loesses, which are generally poorly studied, is abruptly growing. The Lysohora section was sampled. Above 30 monoliths were taken with the purpose of studying the engineering-geological characteristics of the sediments. Among them are grain size distribution, natural moisture content, plasticity index, soil density, porosity coefficient, subsidence, angle of internal friction, specific cohesion, deformation modulus, chemical composition of aqueous extract, humus content, CaCO3 content, etc.
The results of the exploration of the loess-palaeosol sequence properties are correlated with the corresponding stratigraphic horizons of the other sections of Podolian Upland. Besides the main section, which was described in a pit, two additional cuts were studied: one on the Korshiv palaeosol complex, another one on the ice wedge pseudomorphosis of Yarmolyntsi palaeocryogenic stage.
It is revealed that loess and palaeosol horizons are very different in their engineering-geological properties. In particular, insignificant subsidence is a characteristic of only individual samples from the upper horizon of the Middle Pleistocene loesses. Palaeosol horizons usually have higher values of density and natural humidity. They have a heavier particle size distribution. According to the analysis of the water extract, the highly soluble salts are practically washed away from the loess-palaeosol series.
The significant influence of palaeocryogenesis processes on the formation of engineering-geological properties of rocks is also described.
Key words: loess-palaeosol sequence, Pleistocene, engineering-geological characteristic of sediments, palaeocryogenesis.

Análisis de los materiales tipo de Pleurosigma formosum y P. decorum (Pleurosigmataceae, Bacillariophyta). Los materiales tipo de Pleurosigma formosum W. Smith y P. decorum W. Smith fueron examinados. Ambas especies fueron separadas hasta ahora por el rango de tamaño, la forma de la valva y la densidad de las estrías sobre la base de su análisis con microscopio óptico (MO). Sin embargo, los materiales tipo muestran alguna superposición en los rangos de tamaño y densidad de estrías, con sutiles diferencias en el ángulo de intersección de las estrías oblicuas, el cual es algo más pequeño en P. decorum. El análisis con microscopio electrónico de barrido (MEB) muestra que ambas especies comparten algunos caracteres ultraestructurales tales como el engrosamiento en forma de silla de montar del nódulo central del rafe, la amplia superposición de las fisuras centrales del rafe, la forma de las fisuras terminales del rafe, en gancho corto, la morfología general de los poros internos ocluidos por un himen cruzado por una barra hundida y la presencia de algunos pares esparcidos de poros más profundamente excavados, carentes de barra. Sin embargo, los especímenes tipo difieren en la morfología interna de los poros areolares ocluidos por un himen. Estos son circulares, cruzados por una barra hundida y con bordes engrosados en P. formosum y sub-circulares a elípticos, cruzados por una barra menos hundida y sin bordes engrosados en P. decorum. Los resultados del análisis con MEB apoyan el punto de vista de Hendey acerca de que P. decorum y P. formosum son especies separadas pero cercanamente relacionadas.

Published: March 2020

Setiap warga negara mempunyai hak yang sama untuk memperoleh pendidikan yang bermutu. Warga negara yang memiliki kelaianan fisik, emosional, mental, intelektual atau sosial berhak memperoleh pendidikan khusus. Pendidikan anak berkebutuhan khusus (pendidikan inklusif) adalah proses pendidikan yang memungkinkan semua anak berkesempatan untuk berpartisipasi secara penuh dalam kegiatan pembelajaran di kelas, tanpa memandang kelainan, ras, ataupun karakteristik lainnya. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi permasalahan bahwa belum semua anak berkebutuhan khusus mampu memahami materi fisika dengan baik. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini diarahkan untuk mencari solusi bagaimana menyampaikan materi pembelajaran khusunya fisika untuk anak berkebutuhan khusus agar dapat dengan mudah dipahami dengan menerapkan sebuah media pembelajaran dan berbantuan dengan model POE2WE. Fisika dalam pembelajarannya memerlukan analisis yang mendalam untuk anak berkebutuhan khusus. Sehingga, dibutuhkan sebuah model untuk memfasilitasi kelemahan pembelajaran fisika untuk peserta didik yang berkebutuhan khusus. Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan ini yaitu dengan studi kepustakaan dengan mengkaji beberapa literatur untuk dianalisis dan dibuat kesimpulan. Hasil penulisan ini menunjukan bahwa model POE2WE dapat membantu proses pembelajaran untuk sisiwa berkebutuhan khusus.

Hadits Rasulullah SAW, mengingatkan bahwa “tuntutlah ilmu walaupun sampai di negeri China”. Belajar tidak mengenal batas umur dan wilayah apa lagi Negara. Mempelajarai sesuatu tidak harus lewat pendidikan formal ataupun di ruang-ruang kelas. Mempelajari sesuatu dengan melihat fakta lapangan jauh lebih mudah dibandingkan dengan hanya mengulas dan membahas dalam kelas.Belajar tidak mengenal strarata ataupun tingkatan dalam status social, sehingga tidak ada alasan bahwa tuntutan belajar hanya kepada mereka yang berusia muda, pelajar ataupun mahasiswa. Dosen sebagai representasi guru di Perguruan tinggi tetap dituntut untuk terus belajar dan mengamati fenomena yang terjadi di masyarakat,Bagi STISIP Muhammadiyah Rappang, belajar adalah tuntutan mutlak kepada para Mahasiswa terlebih dengan para Dosen yang merupakan sumber dan penggerak pencarian ilmu di Kampus. Usaha institusi untuk terus menerus membenahi diri, meningkatkan diri sebagai perguruan yang mengusung slogan Unggul, Profesional dan Islami. Terus menerus disuarakan dan didorong oleh Dr, Jamaluddin , S. Sos, M.Si. sebagai Ketua. Program Magang internasional merupakan salah satu terobosan dibuat dalam periode kedua-nya dan tertuang dalam Borang institusi yang merupakan Pedoman bagi STISIP dalam rangka mempersiapkan diri sebagai centre of exelence, sebagai pusat keunggulan dalam berbagai bidang dan tidak terbatas hanya pada bidang keilmuan, juga meliputi bidang-bidang lain yang memiliki akses langsung pada tumbuh dan berkembangnya pusat keunggulan.

Pemahaman dari setiap generasi baru yang terlibat langsung arus perubahan dalam hidup kesehariannya, merupakan kemestian yang tak dapat dihindari karena semua khazanah intelektual lama yakni pengalaman historis kemanusiaan pada abad sebelumnya sesungguhnya qabilun li at-taghyir dan qabilun li an-niqas artinya diberi pemaknaan baru sesuai dengan tingkat perkembangan intelektualitas manusia agar dapat dipahami oleh generasi baru yang mencoba memberi makna yang lebih kondusif terhadap perkembangan zaman yang melingkarinya. Proses pemaknaan baru ini sebenarnya tidak dimaksudkan untuk menegasikan atau menepikan khazanah intelektual lama melainkan justru untuk memberi bobot muatan serta kesinambungan yang lebih menyentuh pada pembangunan pemikiran dan pengalaman manusia kontemporer.

Information-aware connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) have drawn great attention in recent years due to their potentially significant positive impacts on roadway safety and operational efficiency. In this paper, we conduct an in-depth review of three basic and key interrelated aspects of a CAV: sensing and communication technologies; human factors; and information-aware controller design. First, the different vehicular sensing and communication technologies and their protocol stacks, to provide reliable information to the information-aware CAV controller, are thoroughly discussed. Diverse human factors, such as user comfort, preferences, and reliability, to design the CAV systems for mass adaptation are also discussed. Then, the different layers of a CAV controller (route planning, driving mode execution, and driving model selection) considering human factors and information through connectivity are reviewed. In addition, the critical challenges for the sensing and communication technologies, human factors, and information-aware controller are identified to support the design of a safe and efficient CAV system while considering user acceptance and comfort. Finally, the promising future research directions of these three aspects are discussed to overcome existing challenges to realize a safe and operationally efficient CAV.
Breaking groupthink: Why scientific identity and norms mitigate ideological epistemology

Can scientists be trusted to conduct unbiased science? There is a growing body of papers arguing that psychological research is guided by “ideological epistemology”. According to this account, people are innately tribal in their political dispositions and these allegiances inevitably produce groupthink and guide them away from the truth--leading to a body of flimsy or biased research. This is a serious claim and one that would likely have far-reaching implications for many fields in the social sciences, as well as branches of biology (e.g., genetics) and climatology. Yet, like any other scientific claim, it deserves careful scrutiny and rigorous analysis. In the current paper, we examine the theoretical and empirical basis for ideological epistemology in science, finding limited factual evidence for ideological bias in the published literature.
If you are not prepared to be wrong, then your self-serving biases are simply not enough. Relationships between self-serving biases and discrepant self-esteem.
Authors: Zogmaister Cristina , Maricutoiu Laurentiu

Previous research has demonstrated that individuals with discrepant (fragile: high explicit and low implicit, or damaged: high implicit and low explicit) self-esteem are more likely to engage in defensive mechanisms than individuals with consistent implicit and explicit self-esteem. With two studies, we investigated the relationship between implicit and explicit self-esteem, and three defensive strategies for the threat of failure: subjective overachievement, psychological disengagement, and retroactive excuses. In Study 1 (N = 176), fragile self-esteem was associated with subjective overachievement, and low implicit self-esteem was associated with psychological disengagement. In Study 2 (N = 101), damaged self-esteem was related to increased use of retroactive excuses as a form of self-serving bias. These results add to the growing body of evidence documenting the maladaptive nature of fragile and damaged self-esteem.
