The anti-neoplastic activity of novel platinum II and IV complexes against A549 lung cancer cells. (c2021)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Al Sayegh Rouba
Published: July 2022

Platinum-based compounds are considered as the backbone of chemotherapy for different types of cancer. Since all currently available chemotherapeutic drugs still suffer from serious side effects, the need for new efficient and safe drugs is of prime importance. The present study aims to investigate the anticancer effect of two novel platinum-based drugs AK1 (Pt II-based) and AK2 (Pt IV-based) on A549 lung cancer cells and elucidate the mechanism of action involved. WSTassay was used to assess cell viability. Results revealed a minimum inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 8.4 μM for AK1 and 43.38 μM for AK2 when tested on A549 cells. Similar studies were conducted on isolated rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and showed IC50 values of 6.544 μM for AK1 and >124.4 μM for AK2. Cellular uptake of both drugs using the ICP-MS revealed that both drugs use active transport, with AK1 having a faster and higher uptake than AK2. Using comet assay, it was demonstrated that both drugs cause DNA fragmentation with AK2 having more DNA damage than AK1. Flow cytometry analysis showed that apoptosis is the mode of cells death with both drugs. Western blots experiments were also carried out to observe the effect of the drugs on key apoptotic proteins. Data revealed a significant drop in procaspase 3 and a significant increase in Bax/Bcl2 ratio, Cytochrome c, Parp and procaspase 8. In conclusion, both Ak1 and AK2 induce apoptosis through the intrinsic pathway. While AK1 exhibited faster uptake and greater cytotoxicity, AK2 was by far less toxic to normal mesenchymal stem cells. Further in vivo studies are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of AK1 and AK2.
Graduate Education Students’ Perceptions. (c2021)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Noureddine Rasha
Published: July 2022

Globally, educational institutes of all levels face challenges in equitable education delivery due to the global Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic forcing institutions online. A particular entity in the establishment of quality and equitable education is ensuring that linguistic approaches to teaching and learning are optimized. It is well established that translanguaging pedagogy supersedes monolithic language pedagogies in terms of best approach within multilingual linguistic landscapes. Despite the prevalence of literature attesting to the benefits of translanguaging, and the shift in favor of translanguaging pedagogy in northern higher education institutes, educational institutes of varying levels remain hesitant to adopt it. This study aimed to identify graduate education students’ perceptions of translanguaging within a multilingual and online educational context. To attain a holistic understanding of graduate education students’ perceptions of translanguaging, a mixed-methods approach was utilized for data collection whereby observations, surveys and interviews were conducted. The results indicated that graduate education students perceive translanguaging as a natural and normative practice, acknowledge its beneficial role in education, and do not differentiate between online and on-site teaching and learning approaches. However, participants remain reluctant to incorporate it within their personal practice, and contradict their personal perceptions, as recorded during observations and interviews. These results suggest that graduate education students’ perceptions align with principles defined within the literature, however, a need for translanguaging research awareness is required at the level of both the student and the teacher in the context of the study, and a better understanding of the implications of mode of delivery and its subsumed barriers is also needed.
The Pros and Cons of Telecommuting in the Lebanese Sector in the midst of the Corona Virus. (c2021)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Syagha Ola
Published: July 2022

Telecommuting – which is different from working from home - is a term that defines the act of working from a remote location that replaces telecommuting to the workplace. (Golden et al., 2015) With the ongoing events of developmental advancements, change in the working environment, and most prominently of the outbreak of the Corona Virus, telework has become a familiar and inevitable reality around the whole world. (Mokhtarian, 2004) This study aims to study the reality of telework in Lebanon during the Corona Virus, look deeply within the attitudes of workers and employers, and empirical evidence and results to provide a detailed report of the cons and pros of telework in the Lebanese sector in the middle of the health and economy turmoil going on in Lebanon. This study employed the data from literature review, qualitative analysis, and online interviews with 30 employees, 10 of which were selected from a home automation company in Lebanon called “Somfy" from different departments and specialties to reflect wide and rich perspectives. The rest of the data was gathered from 20 other employees who worked at different companies and organizations who had diverse backgrounds, positions, cultures, and managerial levels in an effort to gather varied responses that can generate credible findings and valid conclusions. The interviews were based on real testimonies and comparisons of managers and employees who shifted from regular working at the offices to working remotely. This investigation provides an overview of the reality of the telework in Lebanon along with its merits, drawbacks, challenges, and opportunities. It also provides general speculations of the future of telework in Lebanon, along with future recommendations of the optimal ways to effective management of teleworking systems.
Measures of State Support for the Aviation Industry and the Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on the Global air Transportation Market
Authors: Nikolishvili D. Z.
Published: July 2022

This article analyses the international air transportation market, assessing the impact of coronavirus and government support measures. Air transport is now extremely important for the successful functioning of the global economy, its further harmonious development, and the maintenance of sustainable economic growth; allows for the mobile high-speed movement of people and goods between different continents, contributing to the development of world trade and the international tourism industry. Given that sales of high-tech goods depend on a well-functioning air transport system, there is currently no alternative to air transport for the transport of perishable goods. The current trend in the development of air transportation is focused on the growth in demand for international air transportation, the annual improvement of its infrastructure and the legislative framework in this area in the world and in individual countries. Consumers prefer air transportation to another mode of transport, which is justified by the reduction in the time of delivery of goods to anywhere in the world.
Energetics of Arab Countries in the Light of the Green Economy Challenges
Authors: Isaev V. A. , Filonik A. O.
Published: July 2022

Renewable/alternative energy sources (RES), which are often referred to as “green energy” and are intended to create a new generation base, are now the object of close attention in almost all countries of the world. The growing effect of the use of these sources is noted in Europe, the USA, China, India and in a few other countries, but with varying degrees of success. The Arab region does not remain aloof from this direction, although, for obvious reasons, it is more committed to hydrocarbons and conventional energy than others. But persistent conservatism in relation to fossil fuels is inherent not only in Arab society. Even countries that do not have vast oil and gas fields find it difficult to part with traditional energy sources. And yet, the Arab world receives a very serious competitor in the form of green energy, which in the future will have to win back its niche in electricity generation in the Arab part of the international economic space in a rather tough confrontation. Against this background, the alleged rivalry in the Arab region still looks more nominative than real and does not cause much concern in the Arab East, which is now experiencing much more complex political and socio-economic problems.

Master 2.0’ competence portrait as the basis for the human resources Professionalitet development
Authors: Konovalov A. A. , Lyzhin A. I.
Published: July 2022

Introduction. The transition of the state to the digital economy is characterized by turbulence in the development processes of various industries and services. New economic and technological conditions require the creation and implementation of approaches to assist citizens in the development of new competencies in the digital economy, which is only possible if the architecture of the country's vocational education system is improved. From September 1, 2022, the Ministry of Education of Russia is launching an experimental program "Professionalitet", within the framework of which about 150 thousand students of secondary vocational education organizations will start studying, taking into account the requirements of leading industry enterprises. In addition, one of the initiatives of the "Professionalitet" involves the training of teaching staff who are able to carry out advanced training of qualified competitive personnel. Today, the issue of improving the content of training a master of industrial training, as a key figure in the vocational education system, is again becoming relevant. Therefore, the competence portrait of a master who meets the challenges of modern society and provides high-quality and effective training of personnel requires a significant update.

Materials and Methods. The presented research is based on competence-based and personalityoriented approaches to vocational education. Modeling and analysis of domestic and foreign scientific literature and regulatory documents were chosen as research methods.

Results. A competency-based model of a vocational training master format 2.0 is proposed, which includes universal (over-professional or soft-), methodical, organizational and managerial, research and digital competencies in new descriptors.

Discussion and Conclusions. During the Panel discussion "Competence portrait of a vocational training master as the basis of the human resources of the Russian VET system" within the framework of the business program of the WorldSkills National Final, held in August 2021 in the city of Ufa, experts in the field of professional and vocational pedagogical education, as well as representatives of regional ministries that determine the policy in the field of education, have confirmed the importance of each of the highlighted block of competencies for the masters of industrial training of the future. However, the gap between the psychological, pedagogical and professional components in the content of Master 2.0 training is obvious. In this regard, the task of finding ways to overcome this gap in the design of educational programs that integrate the parallel formation of pedagogical skills through the prism of sectoral content becomes relevant today.

Authors: Mikhalchi E. V.
Published: July 2022

Introduction. The article presents the results of studying the relationship of adaptability to changes in the physical conditions of the environment with other psychological qualities of the individual.

Materials and Methods. The research was carried out by the method of polling in full-time and electronic forms. The study participants were offered the following methods: “Assessment of the level of adaptability to the physical structure of the world”, “Holmes-Ray social adaptation scale”, “Self-assessment of psychological adaptability”, “Assessment of emotional-activity adaptability”, “Hardiness test”.

Results. The analysis of the research results showed that adaptability to changes in the physical conditions of the environment has interconnections with other types of adaptability (social, psychological, emotional-activity). In the presence of high adaptive abilities, a person has more opportunities to withstand stress and maintain physical and psychological health, as well as withstand the impact of stressful circumstances and difficult life situations.

Discussion and Conclusion. The methodology "Assessment of the level of adaptability to the physical structure of the world" has the relationship of its scales and indicators with the psychological qualities of the individual. Also, the levels of development of adaptive abilities and other psychological qualities of a person are interrelated. The obtained results of the study allow us to conclude about the possibility of using this methodology in psychodiagnostics and other types of psychological work with persons whose activities are associated with increased physical stress, as well as with persons with disabilities.
A Survey of Teachers’ Perceptions of a Learning Portfolio in Lesotho Classrooms
Authors: Chere-Masopha Julia
Published: July 2022

A learning portfolio entered the Lesotho classrooms between 2010 and 2012 as part of the reforms that were introduced by the 2009 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Framework. Before they were rolled out countrywide, the reforms were piloted in some schools some of which were in the districts of Maseru and Berea. About 45 primary school teachers who participated in this study were purposely sampled from these schools. A questionnaire was distributed among these teachers to collect their perceptions about a learning portfolio as a teaching strategy in Lesotho primary schools. All the questionnaires were filled out and returned. The results show that teachers’ perceptions are that a learning portfolio is not successful in Lesotho primary schools. These teachers identified their limited knowledge and experience and low confidence as factors responsible for the unsuccessful use of this strategy. Even the training they received in preparation for the reforms has not been effective because it has failed to equip them with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need for this strategy. Knowledge, skills, and confidence appear in many studies as the key factors influencing unsuccessful reforms in Lesotho. There is a need for a study that investigates the practices that are used to prepare teachers for the reforms in Lesotho.

Psycholinguistic Dimensions of Designing the Future by Adolescents and Youth
Authors: Dolynska Lubov , Grinova Olha
Published: July 2022

In today's rapidly changing society, the ability of an individual to effectively design their future becomes highly important. It is the youth when a person acquires the ability to realize the project of their future. Constructing life goals and plans for their implementation by youth is carried out in the process of information exchange, life experience expansion and reflection of their semantic cognitions in social communications. The success depends on the characteristics of their image transformation into concepts, their statements' reflection, and their interpretation of other people's statements. The article aims to reveal the psycholinguistic features of designing the future by adolescents and youth. The method of the free association test, along with Leontyev's (2003) method of five-year intervals, was used for empirical research. 120 undergraduate and graduate students aged 17 to 21 from the National Pedagogical Drahomanov University, Ukraine, participated in the study held in 2021. Its results showed that most respondents created their goals mainly in marital, family, or professional modes. The objectives of spiritual growth and personal self-realization were autonomously constructed only by a few respondents. Participants with explicit nuclear semantic cognitions and corresponding associative fields, including altruistic associations, revealed prolonged, consistent, realistic structures of their life goals. In contrast, respondents with underdeveloped structures of semantic fields mostly created intermittent, time-limited structures of life goals with somewhat formal cognitions of satisfying their needs in the future.
Relationship Between Age and Lexical Access

Published: July 2022

Lexical access refers to the retrieval of the word considered to be appropriate from the lexicon. The related lexical items are assumed to be arranged in a specific pattern. When the related items are presented in succession, it may evoke facilitation or inhibition. When one lexical item facilitates the activation of other lexical items, the term facilitation is used. On the other hand, if one lexical item impedes the lexical activation of the other lexical items, the term inhibition is used.  The study aimed to explore lexical-semantic activation patterns in younger and older adults. Continuous naming paradigm was employed to probe the lexical-semantic activation. 40 participants in the age range of 18-25 years; 40 individuals in the age range of 55-70 years served as participants after informed consent. The participants were divided into two groups based on age and they were asked to name pictures. A total of 120 pictures were used (60 related pictures and 60 unrelated pictures were used.). The stimulus was presented in 6 blocks. Each block had 10 semantically related pictures and 10 semantically unrelated pictures.  The reaction time and accuracy of scores for related and unrelated pictures did not show statistically significant differences for younger individuals. A statistically significant difference between related and unrelated pictures was seen for older individuals, the reaction time was slower and accuracy was poorer for semantically related pictures. Greater reaction time and poor accuracy scores on semantically related pictures in this group suggested inhibition.

Authors: Kumar Sharma Susheel
Published: July 2022

The paper deals with the theory and praxis of decolonising English Studies in India. The paper suggests appropriate measures to pull out English studies from the Macaulayan paradigm and to recast the priorities in English Studies in the light of changing role for emerging India in the unipolar world realities, rising aspirations of the middle classes, democratic and egalitarian needs. The project of ‘decolonising’ education at the macro-level and English Studies at the micro-level has been discussed with reference to curriculum, teaching methods, materials, evaluation, research and publication and medium of instruction in all possible details in the paper. The paper attempts to deal with contemporary realities like various treaties and market economy and issues like making a distinction between real knowledge and colonial knowledge along with historical context of English Studies. Several measures have been suggested to make English Studies in India relevant to the contemporary times, to save them from being derivative and to reshape Euro-American knowledge about English culture, Literature and Language from Indian perspective. Practical suggestions to decolonise curriculum have been made keeping in view the distinction between teaching literature and language in the first and the second language situations.

Authors:   Korean Industrial Technology Convergence Society, Yun Dong-Hyun
Published: July 2022

In this study, C# codes were implemented in a manufacturing execution system using a programmable logic controller for education of a smart factory. In the existing environment of an aviation campus, when MES education for a smart factory was conducted, HMI or SCADA programs were used as PLC-only software, and the trainees were limited to PLC specialized skills; therefore, MES specialists were nurtured. However, when implementing an OPC server and MS-SQL in PLC equipment by strengthening a smart factory system environment, notably, the control/monitoring function of an MES could be implemented using C# programs without using HMI or SCADA programs as PLC dedicated SW. It is expected that it will be of great help in finding employment by nurturing the MES manpower required in the industrial field, not limited to PLC specialized skills, as it provides trainees with a basic and functional understanding of the MES and C# program education.

Introduction. The main goal of this study was to examine the effect of acute intake of 3 mg/kg/body mass (b.m.) of caffeine (CAF) on countermovement jump (CMJ) performance in recreationally trained women habituated to CAF. Material and Methods. 17 healthy recreationally trained women habitually using CAF participated in the study. The experiment followed randomized, cross-over, double-blind design under three different conditions: control test (CONT) or consumed placebo (PLAC) or consumed 3 mg/kg/b.m. of CAF (CAF-3). Each participant performed 2 sets of 2 CMJ. The following variables were recorded: concentric peak velocity (PV), peak power (PP) and jump height (JH). Results. The two-way repeated measure ANOVA (substance × set) revealed no statistically significant interaction and main effects for all measured variables between conditions. In comparison to the CONT and PLAC, the intake of CAF-3 was not effective at increasing PV (p = 0.533), JH (p = 0.417) and PP (p = 0.871) during 2 sets of the CMJ. Conclusions. This study suggests that 3 mg/kg/b.m. of CAF did not improve CMJ height in recreationally trained women habituated to CAF. Furthermore, the level of athletic performance might be considered a factor in regard to CAF ergogenicity.

Di Indonesia banyak sekali Peninggalan-peninggalan bersejarah yang memiliki nilai yang adi luhung yang sangat luar biasa, Candi merupakan hasil budaya bangsa yang tinggi nilainya. Keberadaan sebuah Candi banyak yang belum dikenal masyarakat luas. Kondisi yang demikian disebabkan oleh kurangnya sumber-sumber tertulis tentang sejarah bangunan Candi tersebut. Kita semua tentunya menyadari, bahwa bangunan Candi merupakan aset bangsa yang sangat potensial di berbagai aspek pembangunan. Salah satu Candi yang belum dikenal masyarakat luas yaitu Candi Ngetos. Penulis sengaja mengangkat Candi Ngetos sebagai Objek penelitian yang tujuannya ingin mempelajari dan mengungkap keberadaan Candi Ngetos di Desa Ngetos, kecamatan Ngetos, Kabupaten Nganjuk. Wilayah  Ngetos memang cocok sekali untuk sebuah bangunan suci yang monumental yaitu berada di daerah pegunungan, serta memungkinkan untuk pengembangan daerah obyek wisata kabupaten Nganjuk. Hasil kebudayaan jaman Majapahit ini ternyata juga pernah diteliti oleh pemerintah Hindia Belanda dibawah pimpinan Gubernur Jendral Thomas Stanford Raffles sejak tahun 1817. Adapun bangunan candi Ngetos sebagai hasil budaya masa Majapahit ini berfungsi sebagai tempat pemujaan roh leluhur dan pemujaan para dewa.

The impact of high-intensity noise can cause discomfort for crew and ship passengers. The noise is partly caused by the maine engine which is the biggest noise source. So it is necessary to find a solution on how to reduce noise and the impact of the noise. The purpose of this study was to determine the magnitude of the sound intensity and the effect of sound intensity on the comfort of the crew and passengers. The research was conducted using the Sound Level Meter (SLM) application. Measurements made in the passenger compartment and an average of 66.4 dB to 73.6 dB indicate that the ship's engine noise level when operating is included in the strong category according to Suma'mur's study, 2009, but does not cause deafness and hearing damage.

This paper presents the results of a multidisciplinary research project carried on during the Covid-19 Pandemic and supported by TÜBİTAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey). The results are gathered from six months of field and office work, as the project was limited with this period. The archaeological site of Letoon in Muğla/Turkey has been chosen as the test area, specifically the triple temples of Leto, Apollo, and Artemis. Photogrammetric reconstruction of the current situation, as well as archaeologically accurate 3D models, have been created and converted into interactive immersive VR content to measure consumer behaviour and experience. These two different types of 3D content are integrated into the VR environment both separately and as a single content with switching from one to the other. After the creation process, the content was experienced by the visitors with different demographic characteristics and a survey was conducted to measure this experience.

Processing nickel laterite conventionally, namely by pyrometallurgy method, requires high temperature and energy, results in a costive process. Due to its lower temperature reduction process, selective reduction with additives could be an alternative in nickel ore processing. Additives such as sulfur/sulfate have a critical role in promoting the low melting point phase. Sulfur is also found in coal. Therefore, it is important to investigate the effect of sulfur content in reductant on selective reduction of lateritic nickel ore. In this work, the effect of sulfur content (2.68% and 5% S) in anthracite coal as a reductant on selective reduction of limonitic ore was studied clearly. Nickel ore, reductant and sodium sulfate were mixed homogenously and pelletized up to 10-15 mm in diameter. Pellets were reduced using a muffle furnace at 950 to 1150°C for 60 min. Reduced pellets were crushed into -200 mesh before separating the ferronickel and its impurities using a wet magnetic separation process. The result showed that the anthracite coal with 5% S produced concentrate containing 3.56% Ni with 95,97% recovery, which is higher than 2.68% S. The sulfur content in reductant could replace the addition of sulfur/sulfate as the additives in the selective reduction of lateritic nickel ore.
