Analytical Study of Urban Heat Spot Patterns in Colombo District from 1988 – 2019 based on Landsat Data
Authors: Chathuranga Saumya , Jayaratne Chandana 
Published: July 2022

Researching on urban heat island (UHI) is a hot topic among urban designers due to its adverse impacts. This paper focuses on studying spatial and temporal dynamicity of surface UHI in the Colombo district based on correlations between land surface temperatures (LST) with normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and normalized difference built-up index (NDBI) using Landsat data from 1988 to 2019. Image processing and statistical analysis were done using QGIS Desktop 3.16.0 and RStudio softwares respectively. The mean of LSTs were continuously increasing from 1988 to 2019. The highest LSTs were observed at the Colombo harbour area in both 1997 and 2007. After initiation of the port city project in 2015, these values have been increased rapidly around the Colombo port city area. The expansion of UHI area was 71.55% between 1988 to 2019, and they were distributed from the western coastal belt to the east along with the central part of the district. The urban hot spots (UHS) were compacted at harbour and port city area. Additionally, new hot spots have been generated since 2017 adjacent to “Seethagama”. These small pockets are too hot and not very conducive for human settlements. Parking lots, compacted built-up areas, and ongoing industrial construction areas influence the formation of UHS. Considering this critical situation, it is highly recommended that to move mitigation strategies like urban greening methods, cooling pavements and cooling roofs, etc. These results could be used towards a well-designed urban planning system to maintain the ecological balance within the study area.

The article presents a comparative description of the effect of metabolically active substances and their compositions on individual physiological and biochemical parameters of soft wheat in drought conditions. The study involved the use of 7 options for seed treatment: control (untreated seeds + distilled water); vitamin E solution (10-8M) - E; ubiquinone-10 solution (10-8M) - Q; methionine solution (0.001%) - M; paraoxybenzoic acid solution (PОBA) (0.001%) - P; MgSO4 solution (0.001%) - Mg; compositions of substances: vitamin E (10-8M) + ubiquinone-10 (10-8M) - EQ; vitamin E (10-8M) + methionine (0.001%) + POBA (0.001%) - EMР; vitamin E (10-8M) + methionine (0.001%) + POBA (0.001%) + MgSO4 (0.001%) - EMРMg. The experimental water deficiency was simulated by a 12% solution of PEG 6000.
It was found that the germination of soft wheat seeds under the action of metabolically active substances in a solution of osmotically active substance PEG 6000 did not lead to a decrease in the germination energy of the experimental seeds compared to the control. Determination of germination of soft wheat seeds showed that treatment with Mg solution and compositions of EQ, EMР, EMРMg reduced the inhibitory effect of PEG 6000, showed a stimulating effect and increased seed germination. The highest seed germination in water-deficient conditions was found by treatment with EMРMg composition.
Studies of the effect of metabolically active substances on the processes of rhizogenesis of soft wheat seedlings have shown that seeds’ treatment with the solution of methionine most effectively stimulated the formation of roots on wheat seedlings in conditions of water deficiency. Ubiquinone-10 solution stimulated linear root growth in conditions of water deficiency most effectively, exceeding the control by 16,9%, neutralizing the inhibitory effect of PEG 6000. High efficiency in stimulating linear root growth of wheat seedlings in drought conditions was observed after using the compositions EMР and EMPMg, and solutions of ubiquinone-10 and MgSO4. Ubiquinone-10 solution and composition EQ showed the best stimulating effect on the development of a shoot of soft wheat under water deficiency. Seeds treated with solutions of ubiquinone-10, MgSO4 and EQ had the highest rates of weight gain of roots. The seeds treated with ubiquinone-10 solution stimulated weight gain of the shoot more effectively under water deficiency (exceeded the control by 41.8%).
Treatment of soft wheat seeds with compositions EQ and EMPMg stimulated the accumulation of free proline in wheat seedlings most effectively under water deficiency. Proline is an indicator of plant adaptation in conditions of slow water supply and increased drought resistance of soft wheat.
Thus, seeds pre-sowing treatment with the studied metabolically active compounds and their compositions could be used as elements of technology in the cereals cultivation under water deficiency.

Authors: DASHCHENKO NATALIIA 
Published: July 2022

Obtaining information through the latest technologies and media channels actualizes the development, understanding, interpretation, integration into the educational process of ideas and content of media education. The result is media literacy / information literacy. Therefore, pedagogical, didactic and methodological aspects of the relevant discipline reflect the educational, cognitive, activity needs of a modern person. In this context, the approach by which teachers can share their own experience of teaching information literacy is relevant. During the discussion of content and formal aspects, learning outcomes and feedback, it is possible to form the optimal content and quality tools for use in dynamic educational circumstances.
The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the focus of the content of the elective course «Information Media Literacy» on the achievement of program learning outcomes and to analyze the feedback data obtained by surveying students. The research methodology is based on the basic competencies proposed in the project «Study and Distinguish: Information Media Literacy». The research used the methods of the survey group (including questionnaires), methods of analysis and generalization of collected data, elements of the quantitative method and forecasting. Infomedia literacy teaching is aimed at developing a critical orientation in a particular environment, the ability to interact effectively with it, the willingness to use the acquired knowledge and skills in various situations of interaction with the media.
In the educational process of higher education, it is important to self-analyze the educational activities and find out the quality of teaching. Naturally, the formulation of learning outcomes according to certain criteria is mostly indicative. But even approximate indicators give grounds for conclusions about the level of knowledge acquisition, the development of skills and abilities and their prolongation in the life of an individual. One of the ways of self-analysis is a questionnaire, which was conducted among students of (non)pedagogical specialties of Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk National Pedagogical University after studying infomedia literacy. The analysis of the received answers demonstrated a high level of interest in the content of the course and awareness of the competencies of media literacy, critical thinking, social tolerance, resilience, information and visual literacy, digital security, innovation. It also confirmed the effectiveness of the forms of cooperation and activities involved, outlined the range of issues and practices of the information sphere, which requires more attention in the future presentation of the course.
It is concluded that the study of information literacy offers effective approaches and tools, the use of which provides identification, understanding, avoiding / overcoming threats to the information environment.
PROSPECTS FOR APPLICATION OF MULTIMEDIA DEMONSTRATIONS CREATED BY MEANS OF FLASH
Authors: GLAVATSKA OLGA , GROD INNA 
Published: July 2022

The use of information and communication technologies makes it possible to create and study models in various subject areas. Therefore, educators are increasingly turning to multimedia teaching aids. As a result, the problem of creating multimedia demonstrations became quite acute, which determined the purpose of the work: to consider the possibilities of Flash to create multimedia products. The authors tried to show a wide range of uses of multimedia presentations in the educational process; considered the Flash program as a tool for creating multimedia demonstrations; identified the benefits of using the above program in the process of creating educational multimedia tools; demonstrated the developed multimedia demonstration using Adobe Flash.
Multimedia demonstrations, or as they are also called, interactive demonstrations, and animated demonstrations, are the most extensive types of demonstrations. Today, Flash has become such a wide and diverse environment that it is not easy to find a specialist who is equally good at using all its features. The article also mentions the didactic properties of multimedia tools: multichannel, clarity, integrated presentation of knowledge, interactivity. The properties of interactivity allow you to integrate audio, video files, animation, interface (menu system - control), three-dimensional objects and any other elements into the multimedia demonstration without losing quality.
It is safe to conclude that Flash-demonstrations are a universal product that allows you to most harmoniously combine educational information with bright non-trivial design and animation, getting the most out of the demonstration. As for the traditional opportunities for animation and graphics program, the support of developers in this regard has become more complete than ever. This support is no longer limited to animation, as Flash has evolved into an effective multimedia tool capable of integrating a wide range of languages and multimedia formats. This is the ability to create animations in a single file, without folders and swapping documents. Another huge plus is the ability to install Flash-based due to the relatively small file size of the autorun when booting from disk. We consider promising research of methodological aspects of the application of the developed demonstrations in the educational process.

Published: July 2022

This study was undertaken to evaluate the hydraulic performance of stilling basin with unusual shapes of baffle blocks. Seven groups of baffle blocks were selected for this purpose , these blocks were cut within a different forms, three of these groups were cut with angle (15o, 30o, 45o) horizontally. Another three groups were cut with the same above angles, but vertically. The seventh group was cut with semi-cylindrical section (shown from side view). For a comparison, standard trapezoidal baffle blocks were used. Dimensional analysis technique was used to obtain the dimensionless parameters of hydraulic performance of the cutting baffle blocks and the drag force applied on these blocks. Laboratory experiments were carried out on one raw of the cutting baffle blocks for each model. The results indicated that the cutting baffle blocks are generally better than the standard blocks in dissipation of a hydraulic energy and reduction of a hydraulic jump length, but a ratio of drag force applied on cutting baffle blocks was greater than this ratio on the standard blocks. For the same flow conditions and angle of cut, the baffle blocks of vertically cutting gave a better results for energy dissipation and reduction in the length of the hydraulic jump than the baffle blocks of horizontally cutting, but the drag force applied on the baffle blocks with a vertically cutting was greater than applied on a blocks with horizontally cutting. Also, the results indicated that an agreement in the hydraulic performance between the baffle blocks which were cut at (45o) vertically and the baffle blocks of semi-cylindrical cutting. The cutting baffle blocks gives a greater value of the energy dissipation which was (80.62%) than the standard blocks and greater value of reduction in the hydraulic jump length which was(37.5%),also these blocks gives maximum increase of the drag force ratio which was (97%) greater than its value on the standard baffle blocks.

Published: July 2022

This study is an application of optimization method to the structural design of circular silo, considering the total cost of the silo as an objective function of the properties of the silo and stored materials (unit weight of stored materials, angle of inclination of hopper wall, height of silo, height of hopper and silo diameter), as a design variables. A computer program has been written to solve numerical examples using the ACI code equations and all new requirements and criteria in concrete design. It has been proved that the minimum total cost of the silo increases with the increase of the angle of internal friction between stored materials, the coefficient of friction between stored materials and concrete, and the number of columns supporting hopper.

Authors: Ojo Oluwafemi Tunde , Adeyeye Olufunke Olayinka , Fapohunda Temitope V. 
Published: July 2022

Objectives:
Immunizations are indicated in a wide range of clinical situations. There are gaps in the implementation of the acceptable recommended guidelines on adult immunization in Nigeria. This study aims to evaluate the perceptions, practices, and barriers of physicians in recommending adult vaccines.

Materials and Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using an anonymous, self-administered survey to understand the perceptions, practice, and barriers to adult vaccine recommendations among adult physicians in Lagos.

Results:
Ninety-seven physicians completed the questionnaire with male-to-female ratio of 1:1.3. The mean age of the responders was 39.54 ± 6.2. The proportion with overall good knowledge was 40 (41.2%). The vaccines routinely recommended include: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine 73 (81.1%), COVID-19 vaccine 70 (77.8%), and influenza vaccine 57 (63.3%), respectively. The common barriers for vaccine recommendation include: Unavailability 53 (54.6%), poor reminder systems, 43 (44.3%), inadequate insurance coverage 33 (34%), and vaccine shortage 31 (32%). There was a significant association between the knowledge of physicians and sociodemographics, including age (c2 = 6.548, P = 0.038), duration of practice (c2 = 7.761, P = 0.039), type of specialist training (c2 = 3.860, P = 0.049), as well as specialty (c2 = 11.282, P = 0.004).

Conclusion:
This study suggests that the knowledge of physicians regarding adult vaccinnations is below average. Most recommended adult respiratory disease preventable vaccines are pneumococcal conjugate, influenza, and COVID-19 vaccines. The major barriers to vaccination include availability and cost. The implication of this finding is the need to increase awareness about vaccine utilization as well as access among physicians in Lagos and Nigeria at large if the narrative must change.
