Studying the consolidation settlement for multi-layered foundation concerning the change in compressibility within the settlement zones
Authors: Tham Duong Hong
Published: October 2022

This paper deals with the approach of predicting the consolidation settlement for a multi-layered foundation concerning the change in the compressibility of the settlement layers. This non-linear problem is preliminarily solved by using the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT’s) suggestion of approximation, according to which every two layers are converted into a single layer having an equivalent coefficient of consolidation Cv. This paper aims to further the solution by considering the variation of the permeability in the settlement zones of each compressible layer as a change in the compressibility and coefficient of compression. During consolidation, the new value of k is updated, resulting in a new coefficient of consolidation Cv and mv simultaneously; then compressible layers are combined and converted into either equivalent properties or thickness of consolidation. In case the coefficient of volume compression mv is kept to be constant, and the change in the compressibility of the settling zone is taken into account as in this study, preliminary results on the settlement of the alternatives indicate that the consolidation settlement will be greater than that of the conventional approach of analysis and the numerical computation by Plaxis model. The results of the comparison between this study and those of the other models _that are assumed to yield the same time-dependent consolidation_ and numerical model Plaxis indicate that the consolidation for multi-layered foundation requires a more rigorous study. This is a more detailed modification for coming closer to a conservative prediction of the time of consolidation and final consolidation settlement.

One of the strategic goals of economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the formation of export-oriented policy. The supply of agricultural raw materials and food to world markets form the basis for sustainable development of agricultural sector and allow us to assess the real possibilities of the industry. Currently, the country's rice growing is in conditions that do not ensure the growth of export potential. The mechanism of state regulation of agribusiness in the Kyzylorda region has not yet reached a level that meets modern requirements. The criterion for allocating subsidies to farms should not be the area of crops, but the yield of agricultural crops, which reflects economic interests of commodity producers. The goal is to analyze the current situation in rice-growing complex of the Kazakh Aral Sea region, to reveal the problems of production and sales of products, to analyze the effectiveness of state programs in this area. The authors note that production of environmentally friendly products will reduce their cost, improve quality without increasing material and labor costs. Methods – quantitative-qualitative and factor analysis, economic-statistical, abstract-logical conclusions. Results – it should be taken into account that rice cultivation areas should be concentrated only in specialized agricultural entities that have an equipped material and technical base, the possibility of introducing innovations and increasing export potential, complete processing of foo d products, mastering rice-alfalfa crop rotations. Conclusions – in order to effectively transfer the latest technologies, it is necessary to expand rice tracts, effectively conduct agro-industrial production, determine the region's resources for export, concentrate rice fields in specialized peasant (private) farms, and effective system of innovative activity based on the balance of its tools and levers. Priority should be given to compr ehensive reconstruction and technical re-equipment of existing irrigation systems with simultaneous consideration of differentiated tariffs for irrigation water.

The problem of preserving and increasing soil fertility is becoming increasingly important due to the sharp deterioration of their condition, increasing degradation. The further development of agriculture in the republic is determined by the improvement of its structure, the wider use of innovative resource-saving technologies and integrated reclamation systems. Purpose – the article deals with the use of agricultural land, taking into account irrigation systems in the Turkestan region. Methods – statistical processing to obtain quantitative and effective indicators, as well as comparative analysis and synthesis, a systematic approach. Results – obtaining the main indicators made it possible to carry out calculations to determine technical and economic indicators that identify the strengths and weaknesses of the development of agroindustrial complex, which will make it possible in the future to develop a forecast for creation of investment projects in the sectors of agriculture of Kazakhstan. The distribution of the land fund of the region by land categories is shown, the analysis of composition of agricultural lands by types, their division into reclamation groups is given. The authors note that the potential for intensifying the branches of domestic agro-industrial complex may be the restoration of irrigated areas with reconstruction of reclamation facilities. With the rational use of land and correct implementation of work aimed at improving their quality, taking into account regional characteristics, technical level and efficiency of irrigation devices, productivity of agricultural land will increase. Conclusions – the features of land reclamation and unsettled areas imply a purposeful social production activity, which objective is to provide a variety of natural resources and a favorable environment. Land reclamation is an important factor in intensification of agricultural production, opening up wide reserves for in creasing productivity and creating a solid fodder base for livestock breeding. A digital platform for reclamation water management system should be developed. As a result, there will be a signi ficant increase in the effectiveness of field crop production.

The goal is to show the importance of social and engineering infrastructure for the development of rural areas, how it affects the demographic situation, income level of the villagers; to substantiate effective ways to solve problems. In the course of the study, following methods were used – economic-statistical, abstract-logical, monographic, comparative analysis, systematization, logistic. Results – despite public support measures and programs, national projects which were developed for sustainable development of the Kazakhstani village, a number of reasons have been identified in rural areas that complicate the situation, main of which are demographic processes, migration of able-bodied residents, low purchasing power, lack of water, insufficient access to road surfaces, transport, the Internet, social service facilities, imperfect regulatory and legal framework for their regulation and maintenance. An analysis of urbanization, decrease in the number of rural citizens and rural settlements due to obsolescence and inconsistency with modern social and engineering and technical requirements was carried out. As a result, in 1991 compared to 2021 the number of RS decreased by 20%, 2022 - by 6.4% compared to 2008. Conclusions – integrated approach to the development of rural areas is needed. To this end, more attention should be paid to social and engineering services. This requires the development of measures that would simultaneously contribute to the expansion of production, increase profitability, ensure the material well-being of agricultural producers, as well as the development of rural areas, creation of favorable conditions for their population. As part of the implementation of state programs, the solution of these issues should be aimed at construction and reconstruction, major and current repairs, modernization of water and heat supply, housing and communal services.

Published: October 2022

Willingness to reduce meat and dairy consumption across the population is relatively low (12.8%-25.5%), albeit increasing. While women and higher socio-economic groups tend to show greater awareness of an environmental rationale and subsequent willingness for change, this difference does not emerge strongly in studies reporting behavioural outcomes. A broad set of search terms was used to identify literature in this area, but focused on: Evidence of the potential for behaviour change in response to sustainability, environmental and climate change agendas. The reduction of meat or dairy consumption, rather than stopping altogether. Motives and barriers to reduction rather than stopping could differ considerably. Research was also specifically searched to explore the impact of socio-demographic characteristics on willingness to reduce meat and dairy consumption. This study was used to inform the primary research on Psychologies of Food Choice: Public views and experiences around meat and dairy consumption.
Food Sensitive Study: Wave Two Survey
Authors: Knibb Rebecca , Hawkins Lily , Rigby Dan
Published: October 2022

Food hypersensitivities (FH) include food allergy, food intolerance and coeliac disease. Food allergy and coeliac disease involve an immune mediated reaction to certain foods; food intolerance is caused by a non-immune mediated reaction (such as an enzymatic or pharmacological effect). Each of these FHs result in unpleasant symptoms if the food is eaten in sufficient quantity, with food allergic reactions sometimes resulting in life-threatening symptoms. Management of FH by an individual or members of their family therefore involves constant vigilance and risk assessment to determine if a food is safe to eat. Research over the last twenty years has demonstrated that this burden, along with the unpredictable nature of FH reactions, has an impact on quality of life (QoL). QoL encompasses our emotions, physical health, the environment we live in, our social networks and day-to-day activities. FH has been shown to have an impact on many of these areas, however there are still research gaps. In particular, many studies focus on children, adolescents or parents rather than the adult population and little is known about those with food intolerances. In order to make a comprehensive characterisation and evaluation of the burden caused by living with FH, the day-to-day management of FH and associated inconveniences, the FSA has commissioned this project, led by Aston University. The project is called the FoodSensitive study and this report relates to findings for workstream one, a survey to assess the impact of FH on QoL. This survey was carried out in two waves, one year apart. This report covers the second wave and a comparison of wave one and two for those participants who completed both waves.
Survey of public attitudes towards precision breeding
Authors: UK Ipsos
Published: October 2022

The Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Bill is currently going through Parliament. Although this bill is ‘England only’ and food and feed safety and hygiene is a devolved issue, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) will introduce a separate regulatory framework for precision bred organisms (PBOs), should the Bill become law. The FSA will also work with stakeholders in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to ensure consumers’ interests are protected in relation to PBOs. The FSA / Food Standard Scotland (FSS) is science and evidence led. In August 2022, the FSA and FSS commissioned Ipsos UK to conduct a two-phase social research project on precision breeding. Phase One, now complete, involved a survey of 4,177 UK residents with robust samples in each UK nation to allow comparisons between and within nations. Phase Two, scheduled to start in September 2022 and report in early 2023, will comprise a series of Citizens’ Forums in England, Wales and Northern Ireland(footnote 1). The overall aims of this project are to: explore consumer attitudes towards precision breeding gather consumer views on the FSA’s proposed regulatory framework understand consumer information needs inform how to communicate with consumers about precision breeding. This document presents interim findings for this project, reporting descriptive data from Phase One. Phase One’s core aims were to provide a snapshot of consumers’ awareness and self-assessed knowledge of precision breeding, its perceived acceptability, risks and benefits, and consumer appetite for information about this production method. These data show that awareness of precision breeding is very low, something which should be borne in mind when considering these findings. While these data reveal that there is a general openness to trying precision bred foods across the UK, with more people anticipating benefits than disbenefits from the use of precision breeding, there is a large degree of uncertainty about what impact precision bred foods may have on the different parts of the food system. This is reflected in the relatively large proportions of people taking a neutral stance or indicating they do not know enough to answer survey questions and in the strong appetite expressed for information about precision breeding to be provided. The next phase of this project will be essential for the FSA’s ability to interpret these findings’ implications, and to understand what is informing consumers’ views. The purpose of Phase One has always been to let the FSA know ‘what’ consumers think about precision breeding; Phase Two’s purpose is to build our understanding ‘why’ they think it. This will allow the FSA to develop a more nuanced understanding of consumers’ needs and incorporate this into the design of the future regulatory framework and any engagement with consumers on precision breeding. FSS will be carrying out further research in Scotland.

Authors: Saihu Made
Published: October 2022

This paper concludes that parents of Betawi ethnicity in Tangerang city area have different perceptions about higher education for their daughters. Some of the differences in perception include: 1) Considering higher education very important, because women when they are married and have children, the mother becomes the "first madrasa" for her children and the intelligent mother will give birth to an intelligent generation as well; 2) Consider it unimportant, because they assume that girls when married are more focused at home to be housewives; 3) Although many of the Betawi ethnic parents expect higher education in their children, many of them are at a weak economic level. In principle, this paper aims to photograph the phenomenon of reasoning of Betawi ethnic parents related to higher education for girls in Tangerang City. In its analysis, this paper uses a descriptive qualitative method that assumes that researchers are not only actors in the field but can also be the subject of research. This research is indeed considered less than perfect; therefore, it is necessary to conduct further research at least through this research to provide an overview of how Betawi ethnic perspectives concern higher education for their girls. A study that describes social phenomena in the perspective of ethnomethodology in Betawi society.

Published: October 2022

Decision-making process relative to educational and career aspirations has a very significant part in planning career guidance which helps the students to effectively choose the career track/strand in senior high school curriculum. This study aimed to investigate the influence of socio-economic status of students on their educational and career aspirations. Descriptive correlational research design was employed in which a researcher-made checklist was answered by the randomly chosen Grade 10 Maguindanaon students. Frequency, percentage and Chi-square were appropriately applied to provide good inferences and implications of the results. Findings revealed that most of the parents of Grade 10 Maguindanao students finished high school level. Majority of the fathers were farmers and the mothers were housekeepers whose combined monthly income ranged from ₱10,000 to ₱15,000. Socio-economic status of Maguindanao students was significantly related to their educational and career aspirations. Higher social standing of the parents led to the higher educational and career aspirations. Low family income hampered the students to take up career track with high standard. Thus, Esperanza National High School should initiate an intervention program to inspire Maguindanaon students to pursue their educational and career aspirations despite of the financial woes they experience in life.

The second generation COVID-19 vaccines should produce the long-term protective immune response to the existing and novel strains of SARS-CoV-2. The Convacell® vaccine was designed to produce such immune response by using N protein as an antigen. N-protein is not susceptible to fast accumulation of mutations and is highly homologous to nucleocapsid proteins of other β-coronaviruses. The study was aimed to perform in vitro assessment of the Convacell® vaccine ability to produce immune response to the Wuhan, Delta, and Omicron strains. Mononuclear cells of vaccinated volunteers and survivors were subjected to N protein stimulation. After that specific activation of the cells was assessed by flow cytometry. The results showed that a sibstantial percentage of CD4 and CD8 cells produced IFNγ and IL2 in response to stimulation. No significant reduction of the response to strains Delta and Omicron compared to the Wuhan strain was revealed. The findings support the direction of the N protein based vaccine design towards creation of the universal vaccine.

Authors:   Lecturer, Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, Jalan Sungai Long, Selangor, Malaysia., Selvakumar Kiruthika
Published: October 2022

Background and Objectives: Exercise addiction (EA) may happen when an individual fails to perform exercise moderately causing exercise to turn into a compulsive behavior. Although there are growing evidence suggested that EA may be comorbid with other issue such as body image dissatisfaction (BID) and eating disorders (ED), however there are limited studies targeted on the Malaysian undergraduate population. Hence, the present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of EA and its relationship with BID and ED among physiotherapy students in Klang Valley, Malaysia during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by sharing the online questionnaires which consists of 3 main components: (i) Exercise Addiction Inventory (EAI) (ii) Body Shape Questionnaire-8C (BSQ-8C) and (iii) Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale (EDDS) to the physiotherapy students in Klang Valley, Malaysia to assess the risk of EA together with the correlation between EA with BID and EA with ED during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: A total of 282 students has participated in the study. The prevalence of EA among the physiotherapy undergraduate students during the COVID-19 pandemic was 8.2%. There was a significant correlation between the mean score of EA and BID (p=0.0.037, r=0.124). The correlation between EA and ED was proved significant in the current study (p<0.001, r=0.224). Conclusions: The relatively low prevalence of EA (8.2%) among physiotherapy undergraduates in Klang Valley, Malaysia during the COVID-19 pandemic was observed. There are significant but weak correlations between EA with BID and ED.
