Preschool education is an educational process that is given with the arrival of children into the world, first with the support of the family and then with the support of the school. In this educational process, which addresses the cognitive, linguistic, social-emotional, psychomotor and self-care skills of the child, it is necessary to use the innovations brought by the age by adapting them to current life. It is seen that technology, which has an important role in current life, has become an indispensable element for today's child, who is considered a digital native, and his orientation towards the use of technology. Technological devices that exist in all areas of life have inevitably become an indispensable element in the life of children in the preschool period. Technology offers various possibilities for many areas of interest of the child. Technology, which offers numerous opportunities for playing, having fun, exploring and learning activities, can make a positive contribution to children when used correctly. It can be useful in preparing children for school in the preschool period. However, the widespread use of technological tools facilitates access and sharing of information and provides positive contributions such as problem solving, analytical and creative thinking, having fun, peer communication, while also leading to an increase in situations that may pose a risk to children and negatively affect them. For this reason, the family should strive to be a good role model in the use of technology by the preschool child. Preschool children who are developing rapidly may sometimes not realize their wants and needs or may not be able to express themselves as they are. In this regard, the adults and the school in the immediate vicinity come into play, enabling the child to get to know himself and discover his abilities. In order for a child to achieve success, these behaviors need to be known, reinforced and supported by his teachers at school and by his parents at home. Key Words: Preschool Education, Technology Use, Digital Parenting

The production of food products that do not contain gluten is being actively developed since it is not recommended for certain medical reasons, such as celiac disease. Therefore, developing high-quality and highly nutritional gluten-free (GF) pasta products is crucial. A shortage of domestic gluten-free food products characterises the consumer market of Kazakhstan. Buckwheat, rice, and corn flour are widely used to make gluten-free pasta. The results of the study showed that buckwheat flour contains significantly higher amounts of protein (11.9%), ash (1.54%), iron (2.47%), calcium (38.53%), magnesium (56.11%), phosphorus (267.55) and lower carbohydrate content (67.99%) compared to rice and corn flour. Moreover, pasta made from buckwheat flour also showed higher protein 9.39%, Ca (28.80 mg/100g), Mg (48.28 mg/100g), Fe (2.28 mg/100g), Na (5.50 mg/100g), P (196.45 mg/100g) content. Also, amino acids, such as lysine, tyrosine, alanine, valine, etc., were elevated in buckwheat flour-based pasta. Taken together, these data hint that buckwheat has the potential to become a nutrient-rich GF paste ahead of corn and rice. However, further research is needed to determine the cooking qualities and consumer acceptability.

Developing a classification system for brain tumors using the ResNet152V2 CNN model architecture
Authors: Rhomadhon Syahruu Siyammu , Ningtias Diah Rahayu
Published: June 2024

According to The American Cancer Society, in 2021 there were 24,530 cases of brain and nervous system tumors. The National Cancer Institute reports that there are approximately 4.4 new cases of brain tumors per 100,000 men and women per year. Brain tumors can be detected using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a scanning tool that uses a magnetic field and a computer to record brain images and is able to provide clear visualization of differences in soft tissue such as white matter and gray matter. However, this cannot be done optimally because it still relies on manual analysis, so it cannot classify brain tumor types on larger datasets with the potential for error and a low level of accuracy. To accurately determine the type of brain tumor, a better classification method is needed. The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of brain tumor calcification using the deep learning model. In this study, the classification of brain tumor types was carried out using the ResNet152V2 convolutional neural network (CNN) model which has a depth of 152 layers. The dataset used in this study was 7,023 MRI images of brain tumors consisting of 1,645 meningiomas, 1,621 gliomas, 1,757 pituitary and 2,000 normal. Research results show an accuracy value of 94.44%, so it can be concluded that the ResNet152V2 model performs well in classifying brain tumor images and can be used as a medium for physicians to more accurately diagnose brain tumor patients more accurately.

Identifying Non-Conventionalised Indirect Directives: The Problem of Non-Prototypicality
Authors: Mohammadpanah Hammed
Published: June 2024

While direct directives (DDs) and conventionalised indirect directives (CIDs) are inherently bound by form, non-conventionalised indirect directives (NCIDs) identify with a non-conventional context-dependent directive in the form of a hint. That all indirect directives constitute a sub-type of conversational implicatures stipulates that they comply with the same requirements as well as felicity and success conditions. To determine the identificatory and inherent properties of NCIDs, a manual utterance-by-utterance search of the Santa Barbara Corpus of Spoken American English was conducted to find samples of them analysis of which yielded that NCIDs need to pass the requirements of particularised conversational implicatures in addition to the two pre-requisites of replaceability and succeedability by a DD of differing semantic content. The analysis also showed that not all NCIDs meet all the requirements. It is possible for certain of the suggested requirements to be violated or only partially met, resulting in non-prototypical NCIDs. In particular, non-prototypicality was found to be rooted in the violation of succeedability or partial fulfillment of paraphrasability. Moreover, it was revealed that the number of the unfulfilled requirements involved in the generation of non-prototypicality is limited to one since unfulfillment of multiple requirements would invalidate the identity of NCIDs as conversational implicatures. The results of the analysis also warned against context-dependency and replaceability requirements leading to potential misconceptions on account of the rarity of alternative directive-cancelling context and selective synonymity, respectively.
National Security Council (NSC) Role in Managing the Covid-19 Pandemic: Effectiveness, Domestic Political Interference and Coordination of Inter-Agency and Central/State NSC
Authors: Imji Rahim Siti Sabrina , Mohd Huda Mohd Ikbal
Published: June 2024

National security threats have now grown to include health issues as a new emergency agenda with the emergence of the Covid-19 Pandemic that has hit the whole world. This pandemic has become a major crisis for the country when many lives have been lost and the country's economy has been affected. As the threat has become a national crisis, National Security Council (NSC) are responsible to deal with it, as the main national security coordinator, together with other agencies including the main agency in the health field namely the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH). Many strategies are highlighted as disease control mechanisms including the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO), quarantine for those with symptoms, use of disease control equipment, symptom detection through MySejahtera including vaccination, closure of non-essential business operations, country entry restrictions and social events as well as many other government initiatives including the establishment of call centers in each agency and the provision of people assistance. However, there are challenges in the strategy implemented. Therefore, it is important to analyze the extent of NSC capability in dealing with Covid-19 Pandemic. The study found that NSC was reactive in dealing with the Covid-19 Pandemic, thus making NSC more recognized and trusted. NSC coordination with other Ministries/Agencies is active but partially effective with the state due to interference from the state government and issues related to state NSC which do not refer to the central NSC. Political interference has resulted in an increase in the pandemic spread and cause people distrust in government approach.

Quantification of “observer effect” in the United States Atlantic pelagic longline fishery
Authors: Morrell Thomas J , Dettloff Kyle , Orbesen Eric S , Walter III John F , Kerstetter David W
Published: June 2024

Fishers in the United States pelagic longline fishery are required to self-report all fishing interactions (captures) on a per-set basis to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to quantify catch, increase conservation efforts, and allow for an accounting of international quota-managed species. Additionally, trained fisheries observers are deployed on commercial vessels to produce a statistical subset of pelagic longline fisheries data. Generalized additive mixed models were used to compare vessel captain-reported versus observer-collected datasets for fishing occurring in the western North Atlantic Ocean. Results showed a general consistency in logbook reporting for most target species, but potential under-reporting from 1.4× to 5.4× for lesser-valued and bycatch species. These discrepancies among catch rates of targeted species, species of bycatch concern, and species of minimum economic value showed an under-reporting in the logbook versus observer data, indicating the level of accuracy for self-reported data is lower than data collected by pelagic fisheries observers for a number of species. Additional analyses are needed to examine how varying management measures through time may influence reporting accuracy at the species level.

To the trapping method of water shrews (Neomys)
Authors:   Gomel F. Skorina State University (Gomel, Belarus), Savarin Alexandr
Published: June 2024

The article presents the research results (2018−2023) on the trapping method of water shrews in the Ushachi district of the Vitebsk region. To catch the animals, soil traps were used, namely 5–6 litres volume cut-off PET bottles dug in accordance with the shoreline contour. Their distance from the shoreline was 0.5–1.0 m. Most often, shrews fell into traps placed on channels (between lakes on rills), as well as in areas with trees overhanging the other shore, and near lakes on the ‘peninsulas.’ The maximum distance from water shrew captures in the surveyed areas was no more than 30 m which indicates the animals’ low migratory activity in favourable habitats. When traps are dug further than 10 m from the shore, rodents (voles and mice) and shrews predominate in the catches. Shrews were caught under all kinds of weather conditions. Experiments on catching shrews using Gero traps installed on floating boards, as well as soil traps dug along lines as they move away from the water body, ended without results.

Authors:   PE ", Chebotok Evgen ,   Dezsnab",   (Kyiv, Ukraine)
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the problem of regulating the number of rodents at food industry, public catering facilities, etc., where the vital activity of micromammals carries the risk of spreading infectious diseases, leads to contamination or damage of products and communication networks, causing significant economic losses. The article considers deratization as a component of the pest control system—control of harmful organisms, according to the global concept of food safety (HACCP). The main regulatory acts of Ukraine on this issue are presented. The scheme of organisation of rodent control on the example of one of the enterprises is considered in detail, which includes the construction of a three-level system of protection against rodents, which allows monitoring their population. This method of rodent control takes into account the requirements of the current legislation of Ukraine and European standards.

This study thoroughly examines and assesses hospital websites in Malaysia according to a predefined list of indicators and sub-indicators, based on four criteria: Technology Features, Content, Services, and Community Interaction, as defined in the Health Sector Website Assessment Index (HSWAI). A total of 107 Malaysia hospitals were assessed. Private and university hospitals outperform public ones, especially in online appointment management and patient care automation areas. Most hospital websites perform well in the technology features criterion and satisfactorily on content, but show shortcomings in accessibility, reliability, research and teaching, participation, and community interaction elements, and most of them fall short in quality metrics data. Malaysian hospitals should adopt best practices to improve their websites concerning accessibility, reliability, services, and community interaction. The website design should endeavour to include multiple stakeholders, considering people with disabilities, in line with the sustainable development goals of leaving no one behind. Additionally, websites should ensure the dissemination of evidence-based information while taking advantage of social media to reach a wider audience.

El helado es un aperitivo con gran popularidad y sobre el cual se siguen realizando investigaciones para atender los requerimientos de los consumidores, no solo en sus atributos sensoriales sino en la repercusión de los ingredientes para la salud. Por ello, en esta investigación, se planteó como objetivo, evaluar el efecto de la sustitución parcial de crema de leche por Aceite de Oliva Extra-Virgen (AOEV) sobre las características fisicoquímicas y el contenido de ácidos grasos. El helado se elaboró en los talleres procesos lácteos de la Escuela Superior Politécnica Agropecuaria de Manabí Manuel Félix López (ESPAM MFL). Se añadieron porcentajes de AOEV en seis tratamientos (T1: 0.2%, T2: 0.4%, T3: 0.6%, T4: 0.8%, T5: 1.0%, T6: 1.2%), donde se evaluó características fisicoquímicas: grasa, sólidos totales y peso/volumen y para analizar el porcentaje de ácidos grasos en el helado, se elaboró helado sin aceite y el mayor porcentaje de sustitución con AOEV (1.2%). Los resultados demuestran que el aceite de oliva se combina de manera favorable en la mayoría de los tratamientos, permitiendo el cumplimiento de las características fisicoquímicas evaluadas, de acuerdo a lo permitido por la norma INEN 706:2013. Además, en la comparación del helado con y sin aceite de oliva, la adición del 1.2% AOEV, incrementa los ácidos grasos mono y poliinsaturados y reduce los ácidos grasos trans, convirtiendo en una buena alternativa para producir helados más saludables.

La determinación de la tasa de crecimiento del tránsito vehicular es la principal variable en el cálculo de Ejes de Carga Simple Equivalentes, estos datos también son requeridos para el diseño de los espesores de pavimentos y otras aplicaciones de la Ingeniería de tránsito. En Nicaragua los anuarios estadísticos de tráfico, publicados por el Ministerio de Transporte e Infraestructura (MTI), tienen datos limitados por no incluir toda la red vial, por lo que es necesario realizar aforos manuales y a partir del análisis de dependencia y correlaciones determinar el tráfico proyectado para los conteos clasificados realizados. Debido a las características del tráfico, impactos post COVID y datos disponibles se requiere incluir  nuevos criterios para la selección de tasas de crecimiento.  Este artículo, basado en un estudio de caso, propone metodología para la inclusión o exclusión de valores para su análisis, así como un procedimiento basado en recomendaciones de normativas nacionales, análisis de datos históricos y actuales tanto del tráfico, así como de variables macroeconómicas.
