Flame resistant of birch plywood according to Main Ingredients of Fire retardant paint
Get PDFThis study aims to comparative analyze the flame resistant of birch plywood according to using fire retardant paints. As interest in eco-friendly environmental issues has recently increased, wood, an eco-friendly material, is being used when people choose materials for interior design and furniture. Since wood is easily combustible and susceptible to fire, it should be mainly treated with a flame-retardant material to make up for the vulnerability. Bromine-based and chlorine-based materials, a type of halogen-based system with good flame resistant, were used for flame retardant treatment but those substances can cause toxic and harmful gas emissions when a fire occurs. That’s why these have been still regulated by rules. Although research to solve such problems has been actively conducted to develop phosphorus compound-based materials, nitrogen compound-based materials, and boron compound-based materials as fire retardant paints by applying different numbers and amount of fire retardant paint depending on each type and characteristic of it, attempts to comparative analyze the performance of each fire retardant paint have been still insufficient. Therefore, in order to analyze how the effect of the flame resistant varies whenever the main components and theoretical application amount of each fire retardant paint are applied differently, this study intends to measure the char length and area of birch plywood according to standard of the Nation Fire Agency in Republic of Korea. In this experiment, we used three types of fire retardant paints, each containing ammonium polyphosphate, emulsion resin, and phosphorus-based mixture as main components. Each fire retardant paint was applied to the birch plywood in 150g/m2, 180g/m2, 180g/m2 based on the theoretical application amount. As a control, a non-flame-retardant treated specimen was added. Based on the experiment, the following conclusions were obtained. First, the after flame time and after glow time satisfied the flame resistant standard of the Nation Fire Agency of Republic Korea regardless of the fire retardant paint for each manufacturer. Second, the flame resistant according to the fire retardant paint of each manufacturer was tested. As a result, when ammonium polyphosphate-based fire retardant paint was treated on birch plywood, the value of char length and char area was the smallest, and the effect of flame resistant was clearly shown to be excellent. Third, one fact was confirmed based on the results of previous studies and this study. When two types of fire retardant paint containing a phosphorus-based mixture were treated on a birch plywood, the flame resistant was different according to the technology development of each manufacturer. Through this study, the effect of the flame resistant was different depending on the fire retardant paint of each manufacturer. In order to secure fire safety of indoor furniture using wood construction and wood in the future, it is necessary to select fire retardant paints with high flame resistant depending on the materials of each type. Also, it is judged that it is necessary to compare and analyze the flame resistant of each manufacturer's fire retardant paint for various tree species. Not only that, The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for selecting fire retardant paints with high flame resistant for each tree species and used as basic data for the production of semi-non-combustible wood suitable for flame resistant standard of the Nation Fire Agency of Republic Korea in the future

The System of the Educational Process of Pupils with Disabilities in Ukraine
No full textThis expert text brings thought and reflection to the system of special pedagogy in Ukraine. We hear about this country in the context of a war conflict, and other equally important areas are unknown to us. At the present stage, new perspectives have shown up in the system of correctional education related to the rethinking of the attitude to the organisation of education and upbringing of children with special needs. Authorities, pedagogues, and ordinary citizens seek to come closer to understanding the difficulties these individuals face; actively discuss the benefits of special or integrated education; try to create certain conditions for their life (ramps, sign language translation, etc.); implement foreign experience. The practice of European countries, the United States, and Canada shows that children with special needs can be educated not only in special, separate from general education institutions, but also in usual schools on the model of integrated or inclusive education, which provides quality educational services to children regardless level of their development. The introduction of modern models of education, upbringing, and rehabilitation of children with psychophysical development requires not only a special organisation of the material environment, but also training of psychological and pedagogical staff of secondary schools, as the effectiveness of integrated and inclusive education depends on proper psychological and pedagogical support of these children. Non-governmental organisations, including organisations of parents of children with special educational needs, play a significant role in implementing such changes in Ukrainian society

A Review on Ultra- and Nanofiltration/Diafiltration Processes of the Food-Oriented Agro-industrial
Get PDFThis review was conducted to implement the potential use of ultra- and nanofiltration as a separation technique accompanied by a diafiltration (DF) technique. We start by introducing the principle of pressure-driven membrane-based separation process and DF process in general, and selected applications of ultra- and nanofiltration/diafiltration techniques on the food-oriented agro-industrial products in particular, such as nanofiltration/diafiltration (NF/DF) technique of mung beans autolysate, ultrafiltration/diafiltration (UF/DF) technique of forest honey products, and ultrafiltration/diafiltration (UF/DF) technique of fish gelatin. We also describe the potential benefits as green and sustainable and the drawbacks of membrane-based separation process. Both relevant information and data related to this review were obtained from various sources originating from international organizations (FAO and UNEP, United States Standards for Grades of Extracted Honey, USA and National Honey Board (NHB), USA), review of various scientific articles and scientific literature, handbook, and the selected result of experiment activity. We hope this review manuscript is useful for further research into membrane technology implementations in food-oriented agro-industrial products and in a wider range of applications
Improving Students’ Attitudes and Conceptual Understanding in Mathematics using Different Teaching Strategies
Get PDFThe study investigated the improvement of different teaching strategies on students' attitudes and conceptual understanding in Grade 11 Mathematics. It used a descriptive-correlational research design, and survey questionnaires were administered to the randomly selected students in the three senior high school classes of Surigao City National High School. Findings revealed that students' attitudes do not vary across the three approaches. Data further showed that the average rating scale of the students in terms of their grades is 86-89, which entails very satisfactory performance. Moreover, the level of students' attitudes is separate from improving conceptual understanding across the three strategies. Students' attitudes and conceptual understanding have no relationship except problem-based learning when compared to conceptual understanding. Hence, teachers' strategies in general math are associated with the student's attitudes toward learning mathematics
Teachers as Researchers: An Emphasis on the Readiness and Attitude towards Action Research
Get PDFThis study explored the readiness and attitude of teachers in conducting action research. Specifically, the study aimed to determine the profile of the teachers, the level of the participants' research readiness, the extent of the participant's attitude toward action research, and the factors that hinder the participants in conducting action research. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design. Frequency counts, percentages, weighted mean, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson product-moment correlation were used in the study. Results revealed that the participants had a relatively high level of education and experience in teaching, but their research involvement was limited. The participants were motivated to conduct action research, but their research literacy and analysis skills needed improvement. In addition, the study highlighted the need for support from various stakeholders to equip teachers with the necessary knowledge and skills to conduct action research effectively. The hindering factors to conducting action research were overburdened work schedules, lack of fundamental skills, and inadequate training and experience. Several factors, including research outlook, research interest, research benefit, research motivation, research literacy, research support, and research analysis and interpretation, were found to have a strong positive correlation with research readiness. It is recommended that teachers may be provided more training, support, and resources for them to increase their research involvement and strengthen their readiness and positive attitude toward action research
