Authors: JAYA Karla Kasihta , LAKITAN Benyamin , BERNAS Siti Masreah
Published: June 2021

Wetland areas in Indonesia cover more than 33,3 million hectares, and slightly less than 40 % is inland swamp. During the rainy season, for up to 9 months annually, the wetlands are flooded, and no conventional agricultural activities can be done by local farmers. However, this condition can be seen as an opportunity to employ floating culture system. The objective of this research was to evaluate responses of leaf celery to floating culture system with different depths of water-substrate interface and NPK-fertilizer application. The results of this study indicated that the depth of water-substrate interface (WSI) should be maintained between 1 to 3 cm. At less than 1 cm, continuous contact between the water surface and the bottom part of the substrate cannot be ensured; meanwhile, aerobic substrate volume was reduced and caused significant effects on growth and yield in celery plants if WSI was deeper than 3 cm. Moreover, the effectiveness of NPK-fertilizer application was weakened if the depth of WSI was at 6 cm. Fresh leaf yield in celery plants harvested at 45 days after transplanting (DAT) can be predicted as early as 3 weeks earlier using the midrib length of the largest leaf or plant height as a predictor measured at 26 DAT.

HIGHLIGHTS

Depth of water-substrate interface (WSI) should be maintained between 1 to 3 cm for better growth and higher yield in floating culture system

Effects of NPK fertilizer application diminished if WSI deeper than 3 cm

Yield of celery harvested at 45 days after transplanting can be predicted as earlier as 3 weeks using midrib length of the largest leaf or plant height as predictor

Authors: ARMO Achmad Abraham S. , SAGGAFF Anis , TAHIR Mahmood Bin Md.
Published: June 2021

New methods to provide shear strength on the cold-formed steel (CFS) lipped c-channel section composite beam encased with concrete partially is proposed using rebars embedded in concrete. The development of research on the CFS composite beams technology with partial encasement shows that the section of the composite beam encased with concrete partially can provide ductile flexural action for the composite beam. The application of profiled metal decking slabs in the composite beam is becoming increasingly popular compared to solid slabs. However, it has a detrimental effect on the structural behavior of a composite beam. This research is aimed primarily at presenting the behavior of the rebar shear connector to evaluated ductility, shear capacity, and modes of failure. Two samples using a rebar 12 mm in diameter in the profiled metal decking slabs and solid slabs were tested using the standard push-out test till failure. For the composite beam design, the proposed shear connector embedded in the slab concrete and the CFS encased with concrete partially used the test results’ shear capacity, greater than the values as proposed by section 3.1, BS 5950. Due to rebars shear-off, the solid slab specimen failed with the highest load of 489.6 kN while the Profiled Metal Decking Slab specimen failed due to the formation of the cracks on the PMDS at 421.1 KN ultimate loading.

HIGHLIGHTS

A new system of the rebar shear connectors for the Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) composite beam partially encased in concrete have been developed

The main purpose of push-out testing is to investigate the shear capacity and ductility of the proposed shear connector failure modes and load-slip connections

The shear capacity of the test results is greater than the values as indicated by BS 5950 Part 3.1

The proposed rebars as a shear connector for partly embedded CFS can be used in the construction

Dear colleagues! Due to serious global and local changes in our modern economical and political life o n t o d i d a c t i c s has established itself as the theory of qualitative changes in modern education. Traditional didactics, following principle of moving from simple to complex, today must be supplemented with ontodidactics, following the principle of transition from complex to simple. It means the step to higher level of generalization when starting new stage of education (like upper secondary after lower secondary education) or starting development of qualitatively new structure of educational content to respond demands from our qualitatively changing lifestyle.

Published: June 2021

The issue of the study. The alterations in society and development of technologies require a new approach to teaching and training aids. Modern information systems and technologies are promoted teaching and learning different subjects at all levels. Along the increase of information technology importance and impact, the educational and teaching system, its major alteration and spread of new training aids becomes an underlying field of society building. It frames a question of the study dealing with how the would-be teachers of sciences adopt and most frequently use electronically-based training aids. The goal of research. The goal of research is to establish the types of electronically-based training aids and information sources used by the science students. Methods of research. The object of research is the employment of electronically-based training aids and information sources used by the science students. Research was conducted applying the methods of reference analysis, surveying and mathematical statistics. The students studying physics, chemistry and biology participated in the survey. Two targeted groups were formed the first of which included 250 a first university degree (a Bachelor’s degree studies, 1st, 2nd and 3rd year of studies) and the second one - 105 a second university degree (a Master’s degree studies) students. Results of research. During the studies, the science students most frequently apply the electronically-based paper databases while the databases of research data and scientific articles are rarer. The students regularly search the Internet to work with the required lecture syllabi, computer-based dictionaries and reference books. The findings indicate that the above mentioned training aids cannot be adopted by almost one fifth of the surveyed higher school students. The students feel lack of information on traditional training aids placed in the electronically-based sources. Qualitative research further revealed the qualities of traditional and electronically-based training aids. The electronically-based training aids are more effective in retrieving and adopting information. The traditional training aids are not supposed to be very efficient and visually perfect. Moreover, the Internet rather than the course books presents more precise and up-to-date data. The traditional training aids are more comfortable, user-friendly and adjusted to making marks with a pencil.

Authors: Batulevičius Gedas
Published: June 2021

School curriculum introduces pupils to some aspects of the pattern of life, science and culture, which, in the society’s opinion, are a very important part of the educational process. One of the aims of school is to prepare pupils for life. Knowledge is essential, but skills and attitudes are not less important in the educational process and we can develop them by preventive research works.
Preventative research works at Vilnius Jesuit Gymnasium have been included into the course of biology. The aim of the research was to demonstrate the effect of some chemicals on a living organism practically. The article presents the methodical instructions for the following research works:
• The effect of the cigarette smoke on the germination and development of plants;
• The effect of the cigarette smoke on the vegetation of plants;
• The effect of inhalants on the germination, development and vegetation of plants;
• The effect of alcohol on the germination and development of plants;
• The effect of alcohol on the vegetation of plants.
The research work is a very effective part of the prevention programme because students analyse final results with great interest, get involved into discussions, try to find causes, search for information and ask questions. This type of research work is very convenient because it is possible to carry it out in the classroom, it is not necessary to have sophisticated laboratory equipment and the results are seen in short time. The research works are integrated into the curriculum and help to achieve the goals set in general programmes and educational standards.
Key words: school’s prevention program, nature study, research works.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ELEMENTS IN TEXTBOOKS IMPLEMENTING EDUCATION CONTENT OF THE 1ST FORM
Authors: Makarskaitė-Petkevičienė Rita , Kuckienė Asta
Published: June 2021

Environmental protection is one of the most topical spheres in natural science education. Problems regarding integration of environmental protection into the content of education have been broadly analysed by E.Šapokienė, V. Lamanauskas, etc. Environmental protection education is emphasised in universal programmes, general programmes, other education documents, the Public Environmental Education Strategy of the Republic of Lithuania and Action Programme. It is not surprising that one of the goals of general education school is to convey the system of environmental knowledge and skills and to form value principles of environmental protection in a democratic school environment, which promotes students’ initiative.
The aim of this article is to present the results of research – the analysis of the 1st form textbooks which allowed to identify the number and the particularity of environmental elements in them.
The results revealed that the biggest number of environmental protection elements was in the textbooks of environment cognition (‘Aš ir pasaulis’ (Me and the World) – 10 topics, ‘Raktas’ (Key) – 18 topics which integrate environmental knowledge, develop skills, abilities and value principles). Environmental protection was integrated into 7 topics of native language textbook ‘Šaltinėlis’ (Springlet). The textbooks of mathematics, fine arts and technologies included 1-3 environmental elements integrated into their topics. Though the subject itself is very favourable for environmental education, no elements of it were observed in the textbooks of music education.
It is obvious that the authors of the textbooks for 1st forms demonstrate a holistic approach to education and environment. The range of environmental activities in the textbooks prepared by them is wide.
Keywords: environmental education, primary school, and textbooks.
INTEGRATION OF NATURAL SCIENCE AND LINGUISTIC EDUCATION USING NATURAL SCIENCE INFORMATION SOURCES
Authors: Vilkonienė Margarita
Published: June 2021

The requirements of Lithuanian Natural Science Education standards for a primary school are quite difficult to implement. The conducted research has demonstrated that natural science education of the primary school graduates in Šiauliai city and Šiauliai region did not correspond to national primary natural science education standards (Vilkonienė, Vilkonis ir Lamanauskas, 2005). Some researchers (Klimienė, 2001; Lamanauskas, 1996) maintain that the planned results can be achieved through integrated teaching. In their opinion the objectives and the tasks of natural science education can be implemented through regular and optimal usage of the content of various teaching subjects. The content of native language education contains the activity called subject text reading. Choosing subject texts it is purposeful to consider their content. It is an excellent possibility to integrate the knowledge of natural science into the content of native language education. Reading, discussion and the analysis of the writings presented in the article during the classes of native language would enable effective integration of the points of natural science education. The article also contains the fragments of natural science education standards, which could be purposefully used as a basis for organising integrated education/self-education, and the proposed information sources, which could be purposefully used by pupils and teachers, searching for the answers to the arisen questions.
Key words: natural science education, linguistic education, integration, sources of additional information.

SCHOOL CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT: SAFE, SIMPLE AND VISUAL
Authors: Krasitski Vasilij A.
Published: June 2021

School chemical experiment plays a very important role in the process of chemistry teaching. It increases learning effectiveness of teaching material, develops pupils’ cognitive activity and forms interest in the subject. Some teachers, however, decrease the share of the chemical experiment in the teaching process, motivating this by the lack or absence of the necessary reagents at school, and for the reasons of safety and responsibility for pupils’ health. Therefore, the problems of supplying school laboratories with reagents and the safety of chemical experiment are topical.
This article describes original simple and safe methods of preparing some important reagents from the substances and materials that are available in school laboratories. The proposed methods will assist teachers, when necessary, to solve the problem of the lack of some reagents independently. Safe method of obtaining ethylene can be also successfully used in pupils’ experiments.

LEARNING GEOGRAPHY THROUGH PLAY
Authors: Vilkonis Rytis
Published: June 2021

In modern world geography becomes an integral part of mankind’s culture and everyday life, and the significance and topicality of geography teaching in a secondary school increases. However, anyway geography as a subject is not particularly favourite to the Lithuanian pupils and this is easy to explain – conveying, oral methods of teaching dominate at school, the educational process is mainly concentrated not on the quality of knowledge and the ability to apply knowledge in practice but to quantity, often ignoring the development of pupils’ favourable attitude to geography. The evaluation of the ability to orientate on the map often reminds of physical education classes when attention is concentrated on seconds, i.e. the time factor, and not on the sense and practical value of orientating on the map. Meanwhile the modern conception of education emphasises meaningful learning, the wish to learn, satisfaction with the learning process, the ability to apply knowledge and use it in daily life. On the other hand, methodical aids, assisting teachers to change geography lessons currently are not numerous in Lithuania. Considering the existing situation the new book by Dr. L.Railienė and Dr. V.Lamanauskas for primary class and geography teachers “Mokomės geografijos žaisdami“ (We Learn Geography through Play) is topical and useful methodical publication to be used in educational practice. The authors present a particularly large variety of geographical games. These include communication games, labyrinths, rebuses, tasks-tables, code tasks, etc.

A Study of Non Performing Advances and It’s Management With Special Reference to Punjab National Bank
Authors: Sharma Dr. Martha
Published: June 2021

Banking industry plays an important role in the development of an economy. Banks have become very cautious in extending loans. The reason being mounting non-performing assets (NPAs). NPAs put negative impact on the profitability, capital adequacy ratio and credibility of banks. It is defined as a loan asset, which has ceased to generate any income for a bank whether in the form of interest or principal repayment. As per the prudential norms suggested by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), a bank cannot book interest on an NPA on accrual basis. In other words, such interests can be booked only when it has been actually received. Therefore, this has become what is called as a ‘critical performance area’ of the banking sector as the level of NPAs affects the profitability of a bank. This paper touches upon the meaning and consequently the definition of a non-Performing asset, the conceptual framework of non-performing assets, classification of loan assets and provisions. The study also evaluates the adverse effect of non-performing assets on the return on total assets of Punjab National Bank Limited for the period 2013 to 2015, 2016-17, and 2019-20. Particularly discussing some remedial measures taken up by the Bank to overcome this situation of NPA.
Secure Encryption then Compression Systems using Encryption Algorithms
Authors: Korane Hrishikesh , Singh Anish Pratap , Mirdul Chandra Prakash , Thokale Shivraj
Published: June 2021

A new grayscale-based block scrambling image encryption algorithm is introduced to enhance the security of Encryption-then-Compression (EtC) systems, which are used to securely transmit images over an untrusted channel provider. This algorithm is designed to improve the security of Encryption-then-Compression (EtC) systems. A smaller block size and a greater number of blocks are possible with the proposed scheme in comparison to the new encryption system. In spite of the fact that the original image contains three colour channels, photos encrypted using the suggested approach contain less colour information because grayscale images are used to encrypt the information. These features, among other things, improve security against threats such as jigsaw puzzle solvers and brute-force assaults, among others. Apart from that, even though the encrypted photos do not contain any colour information, it allows for colour sub-sampling, which can increase the compression speed of the photos. In an experiment, encrypted photos were uploaded to and then downloaded from social networking sites, and the results revealed that the suggested approach is successful for ETC systems while still maintaining excellent compression performance by utilising advanced compression algorithms.

As the technology is enhancing, people are coming closer to digital life and digital communication. There are many ways to communicate with others through internet in this new advanced era. Most of them are choosing the easiest way of communication i.e., Electronic mail (E-mail). E-mail is the technology that enables user to contact with others by sending mails and also helps in business world communication. There are people who cannot use these technologies because either they are illiterate or do not have ability to see the screen. So, to make this technology closer to visually challenged people, authors proposed a Voice Based E -mail System. This system provides them the facility of communication and makes them much stronger and independent. This architecture will help blind people to access email and other multimedia functions. Leaving behind the old techniques, this voice -based email system will be containing new technologies that will be easily acceptable by visually challenged people.
Importance of connectedness for the management of embitterment and loneliness in the era of COVID-19
Authors: Han Changsu
Published: June 2021

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has made ‘untact’ life a new standard (next normal) way of life, minimizing physical contacts among people. Emotional exchanges between people are rapidly being replaced by contact through the Internet, social networks, and over-the-top services.Current Concepts: People are expressing more stress and anxiety that are caused by fear of infection, and also embitterment due to perceived distrust and injustice is increasing. In the era of COVID-19, it is necessary and important to manage burnout, depression, and anxiety symptoms of medical staff and quarantine personnel. The pandemic and the resulting social changes intensifies loneliness, leading to deterioration in mental and physical health. The World Health Organization has warned that loneliness and social isolation are leading to the exacerbation of physical illness and increased mortality due to suicide and other mental health problems.Discussion and Conclusion: It is needed to establish a next standard of mental health service such as untact diagnosis and follow-up support system. Government and society should establish a sustainable system even after the COVID-19 crisis, rather than stopgap measures made with people’s sacrifice as collateral.

Published: June 2021

Background: As dyslipidemia at a young age is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in adulthood, the screening and management of dyslipidemia in children and adolescents might be an important health issue. This review deals with issues related to the prevalence, diagnosis, screening, and treatment of pediatric dyslipidemia.Current Concepts: In Korea, the prevalence of pediatric dyslipidemia was 19.7% between 2007 and 2009. Dyslipidemia was defined according to the guidelines of the Korean Society of Pediatric Endocrinology: total cholesterol ≥200 mg/dL, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥130 mg/dL, triglycerides ≥130 mg/dL, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol <40 mg/dL, or non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥145 mg/dL.Discussion and Conclusion: We recommend universal screening tests for dyslipidemia at ages 9–11 years and 17–21 years. Diet and lifestyle modifications are essential in the treatment of dyslipidemia. In children aged ≥10 years with a poor response to lifestyle modification, drug therapy is recommended. Pediatric dyslipidemia should be diagnosed and treated properly to reduce adult cardiovascular diseases and improve quality of life in this age group.

Authors: Chung Lindsey Yoojin , Rhie Young-Jun
Published: June 2021

Background: Pediatric obesity has increased over the decades, and in particular, severe pediatric obesity has become a serious public health problem. A concern has arisen that the COVID-19 pandemic may exacerbate the incidence of childhood obesity.Current Concepts: The consequences of severe pediatric obesity are more devastating than those of moderate obesity. Children with severe obesity are at a greater risk for hypertension, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, atherosclerosis, and adult obesity. Correct assessment and diagnosis of a child with severe obesity is key to successful therapy. A thorough history and physical examination are important in identifying monogenic obesity or metabolic syndrome. Eating behaviors and psychosocial factors should be assessed to improve weight management outcomes. Treatment options for severe pediatric obesity include lifestyle modification, pharmacotherapy, and metabolic and bariatric surgery. Even though progress has been made with regard to the treatment of obesity, safe and effective treatment of severe pediatric obesity is challenging.Discussion and Conclusion: More efforts and innovations are needed to find a solution for the huge medical and emotional burden the children with severe obesity and their families are enduring.

Authors: Lee Hae Sang
Published: June 2021

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases, and its increasing prevalence in children and adolescents is a worldwide problem. In the past ten years, the prevalence of T2DM has increased by more than two-fold. This review focuses on the recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of T2DM in children and adolescents.Current Concepts: Pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance are the key factors contributing to the development of T2DM. The diagnosis of T2DM is based on serum glucose levels or hemoglobin A1c levels. Currently, only insulin, metformin, and liraglutide (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist) have been approved for the treatment of T2DM in children and adolescents.Discussion and Conclusion: Early diagnosis and prevention of T2DM in children and adolescents are essential. Furthermore, the treatment of T2DM in children and adolescents is limited, unlike in adults. Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of the available treatments in children and adolescents with T2DM.
Pathogenesis and prevention of skin aging
Authors: Cho Soyun
Published: June 2021

Background: As global life expectancy increases, an interest in maintaining health and beauty in old age has increased. As a barrier organ, the skin is an ideal model for studying both genetically-programmed (intrinsic) and environmentallyinduced (extrinsic) aging.Current Concepts: Among the extrinsic aging factors, solar ultraviolet radiation is the most important, accounting for 80% of facial skin aging. Other nongenetic factors include air pollution, cigarette smoke, nutrition, temperature, sleep, and stress. Through complex interplay, genome, exposome and microbiome all contribute to skin aging. Intrinsic aging causes thinning of the skin and fine wrinkles, while extrinsic aging leads to thick rubbery skin texture, deep wrinkles and dyspigmentation in exposed areas. Fibroblast senescence is a fundamental mechanism of skin aging, with these cells persisting and exhibiting a senescence-associated secretory phenotype which secrets proinflammatory cytokines. Chronic low-level inflammation associated with aging, termed inflamm-aging, is exacerbated by oxidative damage caused by extrinsic factors.Discussion and Conclusion: Understanding the pathogenesis of skin aging may help in developing anti-aging strategies in general. In addition to applying sunscreen every morning and retinoic acid every night, taking antioxidant-rich foods and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are all important for preventing skin aging.

Bosnia’s Perpetual Purgatory: The Inability to Fulfill EU Accession Requirements
Authors: Regimbal Gabrielle
Published: June 2021

This paper argues that Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) should not begin the European Union’s accession process, and should instead remain on the ‘potential candidates’ list due to their continuous inability to meet the EU acquis. While some progress was made in 2020 towards meeting this goal, such as moderate candidate victories in the November election (over the reigning populist politicians) and the first elections being held in Mostar in December, BiH has failed to address the root of the issues. By examining the European Commission reports for BiH and researching the historical context surrounding the flawed state institutions, the following conclusion was determined. Due to BiH’s failure to comply with EU accession’s political, legal, and economic requirements, they are unable to be considered for induction, and the status quo should remain. Instead, the EU should foster methods of reconciliation for the three ethnic groups that dominate Bosnian society to help build consensus and foster compromise to fulfill accession requirements.

Authors: Adikari Swini
Published: June 2021

Nuclear theft from malicious insiders is a significant threat to Pakistan’s nuclear weapons arsenal. Pakistan is a member of the Convention of the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material (CPPNM), which is an international agreement that adheres to the protection of nuclear materials and the recovery of stolen nuclear materials. However, this agreement does not specifically take into account the risk of security breaches arising from malicious insiders due to Pakistan’s rapidly growing nuclear arsenal. The purpose of this paper is to examine the heightened risk of insider threats in conjunction with Pakistan’s increasing nuclear force structure. The first section of the paper examines the history of the development of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons programme and discusses Pakistan’s current nuclear force structure. The second section examines the international and domestic policies that Pakistan follows to address the issue of insider threats to Pakistan’s nuclear facilities. The final section proposes two policy alternatives to address Pakistan’s growing insider threat risks and outlines how the Design Basis Threat assessment is the most effective solution for Pakistan’s growing insider threat.

Қазақ жазуының тарихы түбегейлі жаңа кезеңге ауысты: жаңа ғасыр басталған кезден бері латын графикасы негізіндегі қазақ тілін жаңғыртуға бағытталған саяси, заңнамалық және лингвистикалық бағыттағы іс-шаралар жүзеге асырылуда. 2000жылдан бастап қазақ әліп биін, тұтастай алғанда, қазақ тілін жаңғыртудың нормативті-құқықтық және саяси бағыттары тіл саясатымен тіл стратегиясына арналған құжаттармен бағдарламаларда көрініс тапты. Олардың негізгілері–елдегі тілдердің дамуымен қолданылуын арналған мемлекеттік бағдарламалар; оларда тіл саясатын түсіндіруге бағытталған жаңа терминдермен терминдік тіркестер қолданылған. “Қазақұлттықжазуы” деген ұғымда қолданысқа түсті. Әлеуметтік-саяси мәні бар жаңа терминдер мен терминдік тіркестерді эксплицитті түрде түсіндіру маңызды болып саналады; бұл тарихи рухани қажеттіліктерге, сондай-ақ Қазақстанның стратегиялық мақсаттарына социумның саналы көзқарасын қалыптастыруға ықпал жасауы жағынанда өзекті.

В статье анализируется процесс трансформации причастия «тын» которая активно используется в современном литературном языке. В основном, речь идет о окончания «туғын» применяемом ранее активно в казахском языке, а в настоящее время используется только в некоторых регионах Казахстана и в художественной литературе. Грамматическая форма «туғын» часто встречается в произведениях и текстах XIX начало XX веков. Великий казахский поэт Абай в своих произведениях активно использовал эту форму. На примерах мы проводим анализ частотности употребления в произведениях Абая. На основе анализа тюркских памятников и языков попытаемся доказать, что суффикс «туғын» не является элементом чагатайского языка и диалектным исключением, что эта форма является исконно казахской на ярких примерах акын-жырауов, поэтов и исследователей казахской литературы. Также в целях привлечения внимания к использованию данного вида причастия в современном языке поэзии, приведен краткий сравнительный анализ произведений выдающихся поэтов ХХ века, таких как М.Жумабаев, К.Аманжолов, М.Макатаев и Ж.Нажимеденов.
