The purpose of this research was to establish an integrated model of environmental education (EE) and environmental law enforcement (ELE) to improve the efficiency of functional competency for police officers in Bangkok Metropolitan Police Division 9 (MBP Div. 9). The research design was mixed methods of quantitative and qualitative approaches including survey research, in-depth interview, focus group and action research. Data collection was performed firstly by questionnaire from 350 police officers, and in-depth interview from 3 advisory level officers, before designing the integrated model, then doing focus group, and evaluating the model efficiency by actual implementation with 50 police officers from 10 stations in MBP Div. 9. The data were analyzed by percentage, mean score (X-bar), standard deviation (S.D.), and t-test. The research findings revealed that most of Thai police officers were knowledgeable and skillful for the ELE, but low actualization on their role and responsibilities for the EE to preserve natural resources and environments. This is the reason why the integrated model to solve this problem was composed of 6 main factors including (1) Environmental Education: concept, principle, objective, approach, resource, and evaluation; (2) Policy; (3) Leadership; (4) Incentive: finance and non-finance; (5) Networking: associated worker, and environmental network; and (6) Environmental Law Enforcement: knowledge, and practice. After the model was available to 50 police officers for evaluating its efficiency, it appeared to be the effective model because its mean score after was higher than before implementation with statistically significant difference at 0.05. The practical recommendation is that most police officers need to obtain the EE to inspire their empowerment before performing the ELE to improve their functional competency on natural and environmental conservation.

In this article we reviewed the shock wave oscillation that occurs when supersonic flows interact with conic, blunt or flat nose of aircraft, taking into account the aerospike attached to it. The main attention was paid to the problem of numerical modeling of such oscillation, flow regime classification, and cases where aerospike attachment can lead to drag reduction. It is established that the effective computation methods, that allow acquisition and recreation of their oscillation, are based on either technique with pre-allocation on gas-dynamic discontinuities or high accuracy difference schemes. Moreover, the application of standard straight-through methods leads to appearance of non-physical artifacts in solution: solution's oscillation on shock waves, weak rarefaction waves and instability streets of Kelvin-Helmholtz type. The practical value is that the research findings may be useful for future investigations on the problem of numerical modeling of shock wave oscillation.

The problem of ore-processing plants' waste and man-made mineral formations (MMF) disposal is very important for the Republic of Kazakhstan. The research of various ore types (gold, polymetallic, iron-bearing) MMF from a number of Kazakhstan's deposits using a complex physical and chemical methods showed, that the waste's main components are silicate and aluminosilicate compounds that can be used to produce adsorbents for fine purification of industrial and natural waters from heavy metals. According to the research, the only MMF of gold and polymetallic ores are environmentally safe for this purpose. Based on the samples, selected with thermal and acid methods, using phosphoric extraction acid, was synthesized a set of silicophosphate products. It was found, that under the optimum conditions, allowing to obtain insoluble porous products with high sorption activity, high the about 10-11% of final product have the mechanical strength and a heat treatment temperature of 400°C. It is shown, that the dynamic adsorption capacity of synthesized silicophosphate sorbents to copper cations is 1,85 - 2,5 mg = Cu[superscript 2+]/g. This allows conditioning of water for domestic and drinking purposes, cleaning waste water of heavy metal cations from enterprises, reduce the MMF deposits, or use the latter for the concentration of heavy metals to the level of economically viable industrial processing in the future.

This research is devoted to the philosophical analysis of legal culture as a determinant of value orientations in the transition period society. The purpose of the study is to discover the essence and specificity of legal culture as a determinant of value orientations in a transition society from the philosophical perspective. In accordance with this purpose, the following objectives were set: to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the accumulated material in social theory and practice, which is related to the subject at hand; to investigate the essence and specificity of legal culture as a social phenomenon; to substantiate theoretically the interaction between legal culture and moral culture. The main methodological principles of the research are unity of induction and deduction, the empirical and the theoretical, the historical and the logical, the abstract and the concrete, and comparative analysis. The conclusion is that value orientations develop when a person gains social experience and masters the social, political, moral, and ethical ideals and immutable regulatory requirements to him or her as a member of society. The development of legal culture requires neutralizing the effect of negative influence of the micro- and macro-environment on young people, achieving maximum correspondence of moral and legal values in society at all stages of their socializing functions, facilitating the synchronization of knowledge and personal convictions, enhancing the control of the mind over feelings and emotions, and making more important the regulatory role of such complex socio-psychological components as attitudes and value orientations.

The article focuses on peculiarities of English adjective teaching as one of main and important lexicological basis. As the English language nowadays is important and universal as a native language of worldwide society, exactly that's why process of learning must include wide range of techniques not only as a process of learning theories but also formation of human values. The reviewed adjectives as one of main and basic parts of speaking forms certain associations for a human worldview and perception. Their role is in objective evaluation of the world and its phenomena. The represented classification of adjectives includes 2 classes: empirical and rational. The role of English adjectives axiology is considered as a method of language valuation, representation of linguistic worldview by a human that allows us to determine reality and verity. Peculiarities of lexemes and their semantic variants are shown and also common lexicon of adjectives allows verbalization of universal notion in different variants. This research is important in language learning and in accuracy of its teaching. The stress is done upon the adjective as a part of speech as far as it represents a vast layer of vocabulary which forms linguistic worldview and represents in the cognition practice. Importance of the problem is huge both in theoretical and practical aspects and thus it is pragmatically significant.

Carbon footprint is an environmental menace that needs to be addressed at once. Various mitigating measures were proposed and yet manifestations of its proliferation are very much observable. This study seeks to determine primarily the barriers of non-adherence to identified measures to mitigate carbon footprint in the environment. Using the mixed method, 612 respondents from the academe were recruited to participate in the study, using the proportionate stratified random sampling, lottery method. The results show high adherence to measures to mitigate carbon footprint (M = 3.60/5, SD = 0.80). Moreover, results show that to an extent, there are barriers for those in the academe to adhere completely to mitigating measures and even to adopt an advocacy that advances the ideology of saving the earth from suffocation because of carbon footprints. In the order of importance, they are social barriers (M = 2.98, SD = 0.99), political barriers (M = 2.91, SD = 0.96), and psychological-cognitive barriers (M = 2.87, SD = 1.05). Moreover, those in the academe believe that they cannot completely adhere to measures to mitigate carbon footprint because of reasons such as lack of knowledge about these measures and even the concept itself; Filipino concept about laws and legalities; and the lack of enforcement of relevant laws.

The purposes of this study were to develop a model to measure the belief in Buddhism of junior high school students at Chiang Rai Buddhist Scripture School, and to determine construct validity of the model for measuring the belief in Buddhism by using Multitrait-Multimethod analysis. The samples were 590 junior high school students at Buddhist Scripture School who selected using the multi-stage random sampling. Three-Choice Situational Buddhist Belief Test (Sbbd) and Five-Scale Buddhist Belief Test (Rbbd) were used for data collection. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, CFA, and MTMM. The findings showed that 1) the results of the second order confirmatory factor analysis for measuring the belief in Buddhism were correlated with the empirical data at a good level (Sbbd: X[superscript 2]/df = 1.141, p-value = 0.146 and Rbbd: X[superscript 2]/df = 1.071, p-value = 0.287), and 2) multitrait-multimethod analysis had construct validity at a good level (X[superscript 2] = 33.664, df = 26, p-value = 0.144, CFI = 0.999, TLI = 0.998, RMSEA = 0.022, SRMR = 0.032, X[superscript 2]/df = 1.294). Both types of tests used for measuring the belief in Buddhism had convergent validity at a high level, discriminative validity at a moderate level, and reliability at a high level.
