Experience of Learning Foreign Languages in Higher Education Institutions of Ukraine: Consolidation of Forms and Methods

A systematic analysis of the scientific literature, historical sources has been conducted in the article. It has showed that the development of foreign language training of future professionals was influenced by a number of factors: socioeconomic (focus on labor market needs, integration into the international space, scientific and technological progress); educational (updating legal documents in the field of education, standardization of training content, development of methods for the formation of professionally oriented speech). As a result of the analysis of the source base, the following tendencies of this period were recorded: paradigmatic (realization of ideological imperative in language and professional training of future specialists; structural-educational (preparation according to unified curricula, reading and translation as a leading type of speech activity); semantic (integration of foreign language training and multicultural education); instrumental and methodological (use of traditional verbal methods, standardized textbooks, limited to information and reproductions exercises). As a result of processing historical and pedagogical research, it has been found that a number of studies indicate the periods (stages) of formation, functioning and development of education in Ukraine.
“Mediating role of Stakeholder Influence Capacity in Corporate Social Responsibility and Non-Financial Performance relationship”

To test the model of stakeholder influence capacity mediator, with the reference to the textile sector, relating the corporate social responsibility independent variable with nonfinancial performance dependent variable. The sampling approach used was nonprobability type convenience sampling. The data was collected from the registered textile mills in APTMA (All Pakistan Textile Mills Association) from Faisalabad region. The questionnaires were filled by the managers working in different divisions of textile mills including Sitara textile mill, AMTEX, Interloop, Masood textile mills, Itehad textile mill, Sarfraz textile mill, Five Star textile mill, Dawood Export (Pvt) Ltd, Nishat textile mill, National textile mill (Pvt) ltd. The questionnaire was based on five point Likert scale. An instrument was supported for internal consistency and reliability. The results concluded that there are significant and positive relationships between corporate social responsibility and stakeholder influence capacity directly, corporate social responsibility and non-financial performance and relationship between corporate social responsibility and non-financial performance with the mediating variable stakeholder influence capacity. Though initially, CSR dimensions are distinguished into philanthropic, economical, ethical, social and environmental. NFP can be measured with respect to customers, employees and suppliers. Stakeholder influence capacity can be evaluated with respect to social and environmental. The future research should apply the proposed model in this study and the results to other service sectors and geographic locations in order to develop its generalizability. In order to manage swift change and worldwide competition in business environments companies should center on the adopting strategies which strategy can affect the stakeholder influence capacity in array to improve the nonfinancial performance that marks the future indication of survival of the firm. The previous researches did not appraise the relationship of corporate social responsibility and non-financial performance with the mediating variable stakeholder influence capacity of the firms. The present study also demonstrates the different dimensions of the CSR and stakeholder influence capacity with the non-financial performance of the firms. © 2017 Elixir All rights reserved.

THE INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE, RELATIVE AIR HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE HUMID INDEX ON THE QUALITY OF COW MILK

Centuries long experience has shown, and decades-long measurements have confirmed that there was no significant difference in the quality of milk on the farm during the year. These variations are correlated with a number of factors. Some of them are biological (are related to characteristics of breeds and individual cows), but a large number of groups are abiotic (Ambient conditions). With regard to biological factors difficult and slow to change, the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of environment conditions on the quality of milk on selected farms. The farm "Stari Tamis" near Belgrade was chosen. There are daily milked 200 cows to 220. About 95% of cows are the Holstein-Friesian and Simmental remained. Over 35% of cows in first lactation, and less than 5% had previously five lactations. Studies were performed using standard methods for determining the total amount of: fat, protein and dry matter. Analyzing the obtained results, it was found that with increasing temperature of the wet index values, there is a decrease in the quantity of dry matter in milk. Thus, at the lowest interval index of up to 74, the percentage of dry matter in milk was 12.26%, while the highest interval index of over 84, the percentage of dry matter was reduced to 11.81%. The increase of the index will result in declining of the amount of fat. In the days when it was the lowest interval when heat stress was hardly any, the amount of milk fat was 3.45%, while on days with extremely strong and heat stress the index value was over 84, fat dropped to 3,18%. The increase of the index humid temperature value, led to a decline in the amount of protein in milk. Thus, at the lowest interval index of up to 74, the amount of protein in milk was 3.30%, while the highest interval index of over 84, the amount of protein was reduced to 3.21%.
Visual Localization with HoloLens

Visual localization is a common computer vision problem of estimation of the camera pose that took a particular RGB image. The pose is estimated relative to a certain coordinate system. One particular instance of this problem occurs in HoloLens mixed reality. In a mixed reality settings, we are projecting virtual objects into the real world environment. In order to maintain the objects as the user navigates around a room, we need to keep track of the device pose. HoloLens already does this, however there is a room for improvement. A new indoor visualization datasets, consisting of 2 rooms and 3 query sets, has been created. Two of these query sets are sequential images (from HoloLens). Reference poses are also provided (although not for all queries). We have designed new methods that aim to merge InLoc [1] approach to indoor visual localization with the data from HoloLens. My implementation outperformed the original InLoc paper on the task of sequential localization from RGB images. However, our approach turned out to perform significantly worse than the pose estimation from HoloLens itself. I provide an overview of sources of errors in the new and InLoc methods for potential future improvement.
AN AUDIT ON DIFFERENT STRATEGIES UTILIZED BY ANALYSTS AND SPECIALISTS TO WATCH THE GAIT DESIGNS WITH WIRELESS SENSOR SYSTEMS

Gait monitoring has been used in games, rehabilitation and health diagnostics. Elders who live alone or with limited manual assistance need constant monitoring. The elderly suffer from falls due to gait abnormality which may result from aging, neurological disorders, and certain side effects of medications and many such factors. Gait analysis is also used to monitor the patient healing progress. For instance, in health diagnostics, the ambulatory monitoring method for applications to Parkinson’s disease has been developed. The researchers have proposed various solutions for analysing data generated by wearable sensors. This paper presents a review on various methods employed by researchers and practitioners to observe the gait patterns with wireless sensor networks. It also describes about the various types sensor that can be widely using for gait analysis along with various protocols used.
Adjuvant effect of Licorice ( Glycyrrhiza glabra ) extract on the efficacy of lactococcosis vaccine in rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss )

This study aimed to assess the adjuvant effect of Montanide ™ ISA 763 AVG and Licorice extract ( Glycyrrhiza glabra ) on the immune responses and disease resistance of rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) immunized with Formalin inactivated whole cells of Lactococcus garvieae vaccine. Rainbow trout with an average initial weight of 72±3 g were randomLy divided into four experimental treatments: non-vaccinated fish (C), fish immunized with the vaccine without adjuvant (V), fish immunized with vaccine plus Montanide TM ISA 763 A VG (VM), and fish immunized with containing Licorice extract (VL). Sixty fish were used for each treatment group in three replicates each with 20 fish. Fish were immunized via intraperitoneal (IP) injection after being anesthetized with clove oil. The results showed that the highest lysozyme activity, antibody titer and hemolytic activity of the alternative complement pathway were obtained in the VM group followed by VL and V groups compared to the control fish at 8 weeks post-vaccination. After challenge through IP route with Lactococcus garvieae , the highest survival rate (96.7%) was observed in VM group, followed by VL (76.7%) and V (76.7%) compared to 20% survival in the control group. In conclusion, the results of this study showed that inclusion of Montanide and lactococcosis vaccine can enhance the potency and efficacy of the vaccine in immunized rainbow trout, but fish immunized with vaccine plus Montanide was superior to
FINANCING CONSTRAINTS ON SMES IN EMERGING MARKETS: DOES FINANCIAL LITERACY MATTER?

In the current context, SMEs in emerging markets are facing a number of obstacles to accessing financing sources. Therefore, various studies have discussed determinants of SMEs’ accessibility to finance. Yet to expand the conceptual framework in this research area, this article proposes that financial literacy of owner/managers is a key influencing factor of SMEs’ access to financing sources. The collaboration between firms’ characteristics and owner/managers’ characteristics, specifically financial literacy of owner/managers, develops the unification of power resources. This would lead to an improvement to the quality and efficiency of financial decision making of SMEs to overcome constraints on the access to financing sources in emerging markets.
Fast Crystallization and Melting Behavior of a Long-Spaced Aliphatic Furandicarboxylate Biobased Polyester, Poly(dodecylene 2,5-furanoate)

Poly(dodecylene 2,5-furanoate) (PDoF) is a novel alipharomatic polyester which was prepared by combining a long chain glycol as the monomer (1,12-dodecamethylene glycol) and 2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA), which can be derived from biomass. A variation of the well-known two-step polycondensation method was applied for the preparation of PDoF. The glass transition temperature of this polyester, which was recorded by using fast scanning calorimetry (FSC) is observed at −5 °C. The melting temperature is about 111 °C while the equilibrium melting temperature was extrapolated through Hoffman–Week plots to 127.3 ± 0.2 °C. New insights in the complex melting behavior were obtained by employing conventional and temperature modulated calorimetry. The crystallization kinetics in isothermal and nonisothermal modes were investigated by means of Avrami and Lauritzen–Hoffman models and model-free kinetics. The thermal stability of PDoF was reduced in comparison with previously studied furanoates, as a result of the.
The cognate advantage in picture-identification in bilingual children from elementary into middle school years

Bilingual children show sensitivity to cognates from a young age in receptive (Pérez, Peña, & Bedore, 2010) and productive vocabulary tasks (Sheng et al., 2016). However, the effect of cognates on children’s receptive vocabulary skills in particular shows considerable variation, and may be absent in some individuals (Kelley & Kohnert, 2012; Potapova, Blumenfeld, & Pruitt-Lord, 2016) and groups of children (e.g. Floccia et al., 2018). Two possible sources of variation in this effect are children’s age and relative language exposure: the strength of the cognate advantage on picture-identification increases with age (Kelley & Kohnert, 2012) and decreases with increased exposure to a language (Robinson Anthony et al., 2020). Longitudinal analyses of the effect of cognates on receptive skill in both of bilingual children’s languages are rare. In this study, we address this gap by viewing the effect of cognates on picture-identification (receptive) performance in French and English, cross-sectionally and longitudinally in children attending an international program at a state school in France, from 1st to 8th grade. We find that relative language exposure predicts the direction of the cognate advantage in these children; however, differently from findings for bilingual children’s picture-naming (production), children with balanced exposure do not show a cognate advantage in either language. Furthermore, regardless of these children’s relative exposure, growth in the cognate advantage over time was limited to English picture-identification. Another finding is that the onset and growth of the cognate advantage for these children was later than predicted, beginning after the start of elementary school and extending into middle school. We conclude that the absence of an effect in balanced exposure children may derive from the different skills involved in receptive and productive vocabulary tasks. With respect to developmental trajectory of the cognate advantage in these children, we consider differences in the nature and distribution of cognates across language pairs and the factors that support children’s ability to use cognates in vocabulary tasks. Finally, we discuss possible implications for practices in the dual-language classroom.

Enhancing students’ achievement and self-assessed learning outcomes through collaborative learning strategies in various engineering courses

This study was undertaken to establish the effectiveness of collaborative learning strategies in enhancing students’ achievement and learning outcomes in three general engineering courses. The pre-test/post-test control group experimental design was used in the study. The experiment was conducted for a period of six weeks, with three experimental groups and three control groups involved in the study. Significant differences were obtained from the posttest achievement scores of the respondents, with the experimental groups engaged in collaborative learning scoring significantly higher than their control group counterparts, who were taught with the traditional lecture-discussion and individual learning methods. In addition, self-assessed learning outcomes were given by the respondents at the end of the experiment, and the groups engaged in collaborative learning were able to attain significantly better learning outcomes than the lecture groups in the areas of collaborative learning, problem-solving, feedback, interaction with peers, group skills, problem-solving skills and communication skills. Effect sizes were also positive for students involved in collaborative learning, meaning that they were able to achieve higher and attain better learning outcomes than the lecture groups in terms of percentile points.
Effect of Pressure and Temperature on Structural Stability of MoS2

The crystal structure and spectral properties of bulk MoS2 were investigated at high pressures up to 51 GPa using a diamond anvil cell with synchrotron radiation in addition to high temperature X-ray diffraction and high pressure Raman spectroscopic analysis. While the crystal structure of MoS2 is stable on increasing temperature, results of high pressure experiments show a pressure-induced isostructural hexagonal distortion to a 2Ha-hexagonal P63/mmc phase around 26 GPa as predicted by theoretical calculations reported earlier. The 2Ha-hexagonal phase coexists with the ambient 2Hc phase up to 51 GPa, the highest pressure achieved in our experiments. The Raman data obtained in our high pressure experiments show consistent changes in the vibrational modes. Furthermore, the diffraction data obtained for the shocked MoS2 to pressures 8 GPa is found to be structurally resilient.
AN EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHM BASED MULTI-LEVEL THRESHOLDING ON MEDICAL IMAGE SEGMENTATION

Image segmentation is an important process in image processing applications. Segmentation aims to partition the pixels of the images into several class labels which enables the investigations of the objects that exist in the image. Multi-level thresholding is an easier process which aims to determine the optimal set of threshold values which is applied to effectively segment the images. Kapur’s entropy based segmentation is applied to identify the optimal threshold values. Since the computation of many thresholding values is highly complex, it can be considered as an NP hard problem and can be resolved using evolutionary algorithms. This paper presents a new evolutionary algorithm based multilevel thresholding based segmentation (EA-MLTS) technique for brain tumor diagnosis. The presented EA-MLTS technique aims to segment the brain tumor using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The presented model includes Kapur’s entropy based segmentation where the optimal threshold values are selected by the use of quantum behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm. The QPSO algorithm incorporates the concept of quantum computing to the PSO algorithm originating from the mechanical aspect that the particle in the space has quantum nature. An extensive experimental analysis portrayed the improved efficiency of the EA-MLTS technique over the compared methods.
Effects of alpha self-irradiation on actinide-doped spent fuel surrogate matrix

During the initial period after disposal, in which no mass transfer occurs with environmental materials, spent fuel undergoes modifications mainly arising from the effects of α self-irradiation damage. To simulate this aging phenomenon and estimate the consequences on the matrix, an experimental study was carried out in which old UO 2 samples doped with short-lived actinides were characterized and analyzed. Changes that occur rapidly at the beginning of the aging process were identified in two lots of actinide-doped samples. Volume and microscopic swelling increased, reaching a maximum relative level of 1.5%. At the same damage level, microscopic swelling remained below 0.9%, suggesting that helium formation and atomic defects have a role in this regard. Similarly, the sample microhardness rapidly increased by up to more than 12%. Characterizing 238 PuO 2 sources showed at very high integrated and instantaneous doses, irradiation damage and helium accumulation at the grain boundaries resulted in grain decohesion or even powder formation. Helium mobility appeared to be modified by the presence of defects, and local implantation experiments were devised in the CEA's Pierre Sue Laboratory at Saclay to quantify this thermally enhanced diffusion component. The physical condition of the sintered PuO 2 pellets after 30 years of storage revealed a purely athermal diffusion mechanism, depending on the sample α activity.
