Abstract:
This study analyzes students‟ Media credibility of Sri Lanka presidential election 2019. To gain a fair assessment of students‟ perception of media credibility during afore-mentioned event, the study used a quantitative instrument and examined students‟ general trust in media plausibility (before the elections) and with the same approach investigated the students‟ perception of trust in media credibility during and after the elections. An online survey was conducted among students of University of Sri Jayewardenepura asking them to rate their perception of trust in Sri Lankan news media channels. A total of 100 students participated in the survey. Media channels listed in the questionnaire included newspapers, radio, national television news broadcast, online news media outlets and social media. Study had three objectives and those were, to study the media credibility during the Sri Lanka presidential election, to study the media credibility after the presidential l election and to study the student‟s perception of news media credibility during the election period. Research questions of this study were, would presidential election campaign bring about changes in the credibility perception of Sri Lankan news media channels? What way students‟ perception of news media credibility changes during the presidential election? And After the presidential elections, does the students‟ perception of news media credibility alter and in which direction? The findings showed that covering of presidential election campaign held in Sri Lanka, brought about permanent changes in students‟ perception of news media credibility.

Abstract:
Asparagus has been widely used as food and is needed by the general market therefore requires good care. This review summarizes the asparagus plant controlling vegetable gardens can be divided into asparagus garden with with controlling temperature and humidity by using Internet of Things (IoT). IoT will control the entire system. At the specified time, the system will watering the asparagus as well as to check the temperature and humidity in the soil throughout the tree at minimum three periods per day. The asparagus plant will use a camera to check the growth and quality of vegetables all the time. Overall, the system can show that a novel with IoT and camera to information via mobile phone then can check and improve real time monitor as well as control and experiment as asparagus plant indoor and outdoor conditions.

Abstract:
The functions of structural elements such as beam, slab, column and shear walls are to providing strength and resistance against loadings based on the material properties. Concrete, steel and composite structures are the main buildings around the worlds in recent years. In case of two or more different materials were connected with each other’s by means of third components so that it working as unity. Castellated beams were used to passing too many services through it but in other way the presences of opening reducing the strength capacity of the steel or concrete beams. In present study ,Five simply supported composite castellated beams has been investigated, the effects of opening sizes on the behavior and strength of composite castellated geopolymer concrete beams are investigated under the static loadings with full interaction and partial interaction of (70%) from full . The opening shape of steel castellated beams is hexagon with different ratio on opening size from the web area as 35 and 70%. Full and partial interaction of (70% full )that related on the number of shear connectors is taking into accounts. Test results showed that the increase in opening percentage size lead to reduce in strength capacity of composite castellated beams. in case of same specimens but differ in partial and full interaction, the full interaction gave more strength capacity and less deflection and slip.
