Education Quality Management in the Modern School: Approaches in the Context of Continuing Education
Authors: Bondar T.
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the quality management system of education in a modern school. In researching this direction, the author relies on the main characteristics of the quality that education must correspond to. Attention is focused on what should be the criteria in solving the problem of education quality. It is concluded that the teacher today has lost the role of a person transferring knowledge, who acts by authoritarian or totalitarian methods, trying to give as much factual information as possible. A teacher today is a mentor who guides and organises educational and upbringing work with students at school. Consequently, the quality of education is aimed at meeting the public demand for the formation of a personality that is ready to actively respond to permanent changes in the social environment and the challenges that education faces today.

The selection of soil development is generally guided by the need to treat a certain area of the site in the shortest time and with the least effort and energy. In small household plots, the development of the grant is carried out by hand with garden shovels without the use of mechanized or electromechanized means. Such blades have a sharp metal extended tip and a wooden shaft. They are widely used due to their relative cheapness, but they have low productivity because their width is 0,20...0,24 m. It should be noted that when digging with garden shovels, it is necessary to raise removed soil and the main load is on hands. Therefore, the advisability of using an ergonomic shovel during manual digging of the upper layers of the soil of the backyard and park areas is proposed where it is not advisable to use mechanized or electro-mechanized means. The invention relates to the structure and parameters of the ergonomic shovel, the sequence of the soil digging cycle from the illustration of its stages, the energy characteristics and trajectory parameters of the ground «body», which is separated from the array per cycle. The purpose of the article is to justify the efficiency of the design of the shovel ergonomic, the principle of using and ergonomic, economic features. Conclusions. The feasibility and effectiveness of using an ergonomic shovel in a limited amount of topsoil is substantiated. The use of muscle strength of the workers is illustrated only when the shovel is rearranged and the levers are rotated while digging. There is no manual lifting and no direct manual overturning of the soil. The woker’s productivity is up to 20…30 m2 per hour, which is 2−3 times more than the usual shovel and with less labor.

The opening size is important to the ventilation of building because various opening sizes affects the ventilation performance for building. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the effect of opening size on indoor airflow characteristics of naturally ventilated building model. The numerical simulation with steady RANS equations was used. A total of six different opening ratios, namely 4:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 4:9 and 1:4 were considered in this study. The results of mesh independence study and model validation were also in good agreement with previous study. The simulation results show that velocity and pressure of the indoor air, ventilation rate, and pressure coefficient are highly dependent on the opening ratio. The velocity and pressure contour indicate that the lower the opening ratio, the higher the velocity and subsequently lower pressure inside the building. In addition, the pressure coefficient and ventilation rate are also increased as the opening ratio decreases. Besides, the results indicate that percentage increase in ventilation rate of opening ratio 4:1 and 2:1, 2:1 and 1:1, and 1:1 and 1:2 is higher than those of opening ratio for 1:2 and 4:9, 4:9 and 1:4. The study concluded that pairing a large outlet and small inlet leads toincrease in better ventilation rate for building.

Emotion is a complex state of human mind influenced by body physiological changes and interdependent external events thus making an automatic recognition of emotional state a challenging task. A number of recognition methods have been applied in recent years to recognize human emotion. The motivation for this study is therefore to discover a combination of emotion features and recognition method that will produce the best result in building an efficient emotion recognizer in an affective system. We introduced a shifted tanh normalization scheme to realize the inverse Fisher transformation applied to the DEAP physiological dataset and consequently performed series of experiments using the Radial Basis Function Artificial Neural Networks (RBFANN). In our experiments, we have compared the performances of digital image based feature extraction techniques such as the Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG), Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and the Histogram of Images (HIM). These feature extraction techniques were utilized to extract discriminatory features from the multimodal DEAP dataset of physiological signals. Experimental results obtained indicate that the best recognition accuracy was achieved with the EEG modality data using the HIM features extraction technique and classification done along the dominance emotion dimension. The result is very remarkable when compared with existing results in the literature including deep learning studies that have utilized the DEAP corpus and also applicable to diverse fields of engineering studies.

Heat resistive super alloys (HRSAs) which are commonly known as Inconel alloys are extensively used in aeronautical, food processing and automobile industries. The machinability and parametric optimization of Inconel 825 have not been reported much in the literatures. This study attempts to experimentally investigate and optimize the process parameters during machining Inconel 825 for multiple performance characteristics. Spindle speed (N), feed rate (f) and depth of cut (d) are optimized for different responses namely surface roughness (Ra), cutting force (Fz) and metal removal rate (MRR). Feed is found to have the highest influence on Ra and Fz. A mathematical model based on multiple regression analysis is developed for predicting Ra, Fz and MRR. Taguchi analysis is used for optimizing single objective through mean effect plots. For simultaneously optimizing all the responses a weighted combination of objective function is formulated and optimized using genetic algorithm (GA).The optimum parametric combination being 1200 rpm, 0.113 mm/rev and 0.825 mm for N, f and d respectively. In the present work analytical hierarchy processes (AHP) is employed for evaluating weights for each performance measures based on their relative importance. Also, Pareto optimality approach is used for obtaining optimum solutions that produce components with maximum MRR at desired value of Ra is another new contribution of this research. The Pareto optimal solution yields a minimum surface roughness of 1.42µm at N=1204.5 rpm, f=0.124 mm/rev and d=0.503 mm. This is quite lower than the minimum value of 1.6µm obtained experimentally. The NSGA-II result was verified experimentally and the actual surface roughness obtained was1.46µm resulting in an error percentage of 2.8%. The developed approach can be economically applied for the production of quality components from Inconel 825 by industries.

Diesel engine's complexity is a primary cause of breakdown or inability. Engine failure impacts device performance and thus efficiency. It often increases the cost of maintenance as the system goes down again and again. The main aim of this analysis is therefore to concentrate on aspects of the reliability and availability of diesel locomotive engines. For this reason, a large collection of observations is explored to evaluate the availability output of electrical assembly components. Weibull distribution is then used to analyse the reliability of the system and the rate of failure information that can be used in the rail industry to minimize unforeseen failures and to increase the reliability as well as the availability of diesel locomotives. A comparative study of Weibull distribution with the other distribution has been carried out to show the benefits of the Weibull distribution.

Published: November 2021

The Transmit antenna selection (TAS) technique is essential to increase the efficiency of spatial modulation (SM) systems. This TAS is an effective technique for reducing the Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems, which can increase the computational difficulty and Bit error rate (BER) by various TAS algorithms. But these selection methods cannot provide code gain, so it is essential to join the external code in TAS to obtain code gain advantages in BER. In some existing work, the improved BER has been perceived by joining Forward Error Correction Code (FEC) and Space Time Block Code (STBC) for MIMO systems provided greater code gain. A multiple TAS-OSTBC technique with new integration of Bose–Chaudhuri–Hocquenghem (BCH)-Turbo code (TC) is proposed in this paper. The TAS-OSTBC system connects with the external BCH code in sequence of internal Turbo code. This combination can provide increasing code gain and the effective advantages of the TAS-OSTBC system. To perform the system analysis Rayleigh channel is utilized. In the case with multiple TAS-OSTBC systems, better performance can provide by this new combination of the BCH-Turbo compared to the conventional Turbo code for the Rayleigh fading.

The use of Social Network Sites (SNS) is on the rise these days, particularly among the younger generations. Users can communicate their interests, feelings, and everyday routines thanks to the availability of social media sites. Many studies show that properly utilizing user-generated content (UGC) can aid in determining people's mental health status. The use of the UGC could aid in the prediction of mental health, particularly depression, where it is a significant medical condition that impairs one's ability to work, learn, eat, sleep, and enjoy life. However, all information about a person's mood and negativism can be gathered from their SNS user profile. Therefore, this study utilizes SNS as a data source by using machine learning models to screen and identify users in categorizing users based on their mental health. The performance of three machine learning models is evaluated to classify the UGC: Decision Forest, Neural Network, and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The results show that the accuracy and recall result of the Neural Network model is the same as the Support Vector Machine (SVM) model, which is 78.27% and 0.042, but Neural Network performs better in the average precision value. This proves that the Neural Network model is the best model for making predictions to determine the level of depression by using social media posts.

Проведено исследование влияния производного пиримидина PIR-4 на возникающий в условиях экспериментальной фокальной церебральной ишемии неврологический и сенсомоторный дефицит у крыс-самцов линии Вистар. Первую группу составили ложнооперированные крысы, вторую — животные негативного контроля, получавшие взвесь твина-80 и воды очищенной. Крысы третьей группы получали референтный препарат кавинтон (3,2 мг/кг), четвертой — экспериментальное соединение PIR-4 (50 мг/кг). Все вещества вводили внутрибрюшинно сразу после моделирования ишемии мозга и в течение последующих 3 сут ежедневно однократно. Фокальную церебральную ишемию моделировали окклюзией левой средней мозговой артерии крысам всех групп, кроме первой. По способности снижать неврологическую симптоматику по шкале McGraw на 71,2 % (p < 0,05), Combs и D’Alecy в 4,6 раз (p < 0,05), Garcia на 75 % (p < 0,05) производное пиримидина не уступало препарату сравнения кавинтону. Кроме того, по влиянию на моторные функции (число соскальзываний задней лапы в тесте «Сужающаяся дорожка»), PIR-4 превосходило кавинтон на 8,2 % (p < 0,05). На фоне получения крысами соединения PIR-4 уменьшалась асимметрия конечностей, что проявлялось в увеличении частоты использования обеих лап, относительно показателя группы крыс, которым вводили кавинтон на 11,8 % (p < 0,05), и снижении нагрузки на левую лапу на 13,4 % (p < 0,05).

Published: November 2021

This paper reports the findings of a study that develops a participatory model for TESOL teachers’ continuous professional development (CPD) in Oman. This study used an action research methodology and data were collected using an online discussion group, semi-structured and focus group interviews with participant teachers. The findings indicated that the centralised top-down nature of the current CPD system seems to negatively affect the success of CPD in the in-service TESOL context in Oman. The evaluation of the participatory model of CPD adopted in this study showed that this model has a positive impact on participant teachers’ CPD and three aspects of change were noticed: teachers’ beliefs, their practices about CPD, and change in students (e.g., their reading habits). The data showed that the participatory model of CPD enabled teachers to make decisions regarding their CPD and encouraged them to play the role of critical reflective practitioners as well as preparing them as future transformative intellectuals. Keywords: CPD, in-service courses, TESOL, teacher professional development, participatory professional development.
ANTENNA UNIT HEAT MODE
Authors:   Federal State Budget Educational Institution of Higher Education «MIREA - Russian Technological University», Divakova Y.A.
Published: November 2021

The article describes the procedure for calculating the thermal regime of a unit. The unit under study is part of a phased array. The calculation of the thermal regime allows you to verify the operability of the device under a steady thermal regime and to verify that the choice of the method of cooling the structure is correct. The work of the unit is analyzed under conditions of convective heat exchange without forced cooling at the maximum operating (permissible) ambient temperature. The calculation of the thermal regime of the unit is carried out in two stages. At the first stage, the temperature of the unit case is determined when the unit case overheats in the first approximation. The overheating value is determined from the graph. The calculation is carried out under conditions of natural air cooling. At the second stage, the average surface temperature of the heated zone is determined. The greatest heating in the unit is observed in the area occupied by the board with ERE. According to the results of the calculation, a problem was revealed, which consists in the fact that under the given operating conditions of the investigated device, the unit area is heated above the maximum operating temperature of some ERE. The value of the average surface temperature of the heated zone of the unit exceeds the value of the maximum allowable temperature of the least heat-resistant element of the heated zone. This means that it is necessary to use forced air cooling by air convection. The article proposes a solution to the problem of unit overheating, and describes the method of forced air cooling and its design.

Az óvoda–iskola átmenet megkönnyítésére a nemzetközi és a hazai szakirodalom számos gyakorlatot ismertet, ezek hazai kutatói reflexiója azonban még nem ismert. Ezért az áttekintésünk célja a hazai óvoda–iskola átmenetet segítő publikált gyakorlatok összegyűjtése, rendszerezése és elemzése. A tanulmányunkban a 2020 márciusáig megjelent hazai szakirodalomban 42 gyakorlatot azonosítottunk, ezeket hét szempont alapján elemeztük. Így láthatóvá vált, hogy a legtöbbet gyakorló pedagógusok dolgozták ki, s a 2000-es évek közepén tették közzé. Leginkább az új intézmény és a leendő tanítók megismertetésére irányulnak. Legjellemzőbb, hogy a szerzők nem ágyazzák be a munkájukat elméleti kontextusba. A működésükben inkább a személyi feltételek hangsúlyosak, mint a tárgyi-környezeti feltételek. A fellelt gyakorlatok eltérő hosszúságú intervallumot ölelnek fel az átmenetből; a leggyakoribb az óvodai nagycsoport teljes tanévére kiterjedő óvoda-iskola átmenetet segítő gyakorlat. A legtöbb gyakorlat esetében nem találtunk utalást hatásvizsgálatra.

Published: November 2021

Sustainable development is recognized as a concept that can interrupt a series of crises observed today and bring the world to a new effective and fair level. The mechanism for implementing the concept is an approach that integrates into the decision-making process, in addition to the already existing criterion of economic efficiency, ESG-criteria, namely: criteria of environmental friendliness, social responsibility and managerial efficiency. Countries integrate these criteria in different ways into national development strategies. This is due to the nature of the problems they face and the solution of which seems to be a priority. Of great interest in this regard is the experience of China — the largest economy in the world, which has also embarked on a phase of active integration of ESG criteria into the national strategy, with an emphasis on the E-criterion (environmental), assuming that the achievement of efficiency for the rest criteria is impossible without first-priority solution of the accumulated problems in the field of ecology. The main purpose of the article is to analyze the strategic decisions of the Chinese government under the influence of the environmental factor. The article analyzes the approaches to substantiating the ideology of environmental reforms (building an ecological civilization) and its key components, namely: the national climate program, the ecological red line, combating desertification and mitigating climate change, combating water pollution and eliminating water shortages. The following conclusion was made. China has rich and interesting experience in solving the problem of modernizing production, ensuring its rational distribution and reducing the environmental burden on the territory, primarily in the framework of combating environmental pollution and climate change. The Chinese experience may be interesting for other countries, including Russia.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Netflix aired the docuseries Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness. This aligned with the United States declaring a national emergency and the beginning of stay-at-home orders. Netflixexperienced a significant increase in viewership and a large number of responses to Tiger King’s content from viewers and media outlets (e.g., Stoll 2021). In this article, we present an analysis of social media responses on the Netflix official Facebook page and online news articles associated with Tiger King published between 20 March 2020 and 30 March 2020. This thematic analysis reveals that public response was mainly related to expressions of sentiment, characters featured in the docuseries, and references to the show’s content (e.g., specific scenes). We also identified character references, series content descriptions, and real-life events as themes within media sources. We conclude this article by discussing the potential for a ‘Tiger King Effect’ in the U.S. and the media’s role in distributing human-animal related materials to the general public.

Objective: The aim of this two wave longitudinal study was to increase the knowledge on levels of parental stress and rewards among mothers and fathers of children aged 1-18 years, during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Background: The COVID-19 pandemic and infection control measures have caused changes to family life. Caring for children in home-school/kindergarten while working from home may have posed significant strain on parents that may negatively impact the quality of parent-child relationships and parents' sensitivity to their children's needs.Method: We employed data collected in April 2020 and in April 2021 from the longitudinal BiE-study. 7424 parents participated (58 % mothers and 41 % fathers). Results: The overall levels of parental stress and rewards did not change significantly. Being male, aged 40-49, having a relatively high income, or reporting initial difficulties with closed kindergartens or schools were associated with decreased parental stress over the two-time points. For parents aged 18-29 years, the level of parental stress increased. Conclusion: The study suggests that the overall levels of parental stress and rewards remained unchanged during the first year of the pandemic. Even so, the study also uncovered that younger parents are a vulnerable subgroup. Implications: Increased awareness and competence among professional staff in kindergartens, primary schools, and child health clinics targeting young parents and their children in the wake of the pandemic could be of high importance to prevent detrimental consequences.

Introducing QuickChi, a web application for near-global, exploratory, longitudinal river profile analysis
Authors: Ruetenik Gregory
Published: November 2021

Stream profile analysis has been used extensively in the field of tectonic geomorphology. In the past, exploration of stream profiles, including χ-elevation profiles, has required downloading and processing Digital Elevation Models for specific areas, which limits the scope of exploratory analysis. Presented here is a web application designed to analyze stream profiles at 90m resolution at a near-global scale. Based on the Hydrosheds (Wickel et al., 2007) 90m drainage direction, as well as computed d8 drainage direction and void-filled DEMs, the app allows users to quickly query downstream from selected points anywhere within ±60 degrees latitude, in order to interactively analyze corresponding stream profiles in both distance and χ space, where χ is a metric that is proportional to the presumed steady-state shape of the stream profile (Perron and Royden, 2013). QuickChi is open source, and although currently it is designed as an exploratory tool, more functions can be easily added via community contributions and/or from existing toolsets.
Who Gets to Live the Good Life? Master Narratives, Identity, and Well-Being within a Marginalizing Society
Authors: Syed Moin , McLean Kate C.
Published: November 2021

The question of what constitutes “the good life” is incomplete without also addressing the question of who gets to live the good life. Implicit in many discussions of the good life, particularly in American and Western European contexts, is that it is equally available to all members of society, and attainable via malleable dispositions (e.g., changing attitudes, self-relevant beliefs). In this way, the good life is experienced through a highly agentic process of self-discovery and environmental mastery. What is generally lacking in this work is a serious reckoning of how structural factors constrain access to unbounded agency, particularly for those individuals who are marginalized in society due to race, gender, sexuality, and other factors. Moreover, “the good life” fundamentally indexes individuals’ well-being, and thus any claims to the good life will depend on how well-being is defined. Throughout psychology well-being is most commonly defined in terms of positive subjective states (e.g., hedonia, eudaimonia) that again remove any consideration of external criteria or demands. In this paper, we put the preceding together by outlining how a master narrative perspective—which examines the culturally shared stories that guide thoughts, beliefs, values, and behaviors—brings attention to the structural constraints on well-being among individuals in marginalized positions in society. We also propose an alternative conceptualization of the good life, which includes the importance of interpersonal connection between those who share the experience of marginalization.
Keeping the kids home: Increasing concern for others in times of crisis
Authors: Leder Johannes , Schütz Astrid , Pastukhov Alexander
Published: November 2021

During the COVID-19 pandemic social consequences in day-to-day decisions might not have been salient to the decider and thus egoistic. How can prosocial intentions be increased? In an experimental vignette study with N = 206, we compared the likelihood that parents send sick children to kindergarten after four interventions (general information about COVID-19, empathy, reflection of consequences via mental simulation, and control group). Independent of the intervention, empathic concern with individuals who were affected by COVID-19 and the salience of social consequences were high. The reported likelihood of sending a sick child to kindergarten was somewhat reduced in the control group and even more reduced in the reflection and empathy group, but not in the information group.
Unequal Unification? Income Inequality and Unification in 19th Century Italy and Germany
Authors: Erfurth Philipp Emanuel
Published: November 2021

This research provides a comprehensive study of the linkages between unification and related policy choices on income inequality by examining the cases of Italy and Germany in the context of 19th century unification. To conduct this analysis, the study puts forward estimates of income inequality for pre-unification German states using social tables, compiled using primary data, some of which have thus far been unexplored in economic research. The findings suggest that differences in inequality between regions were more pronounced in Italy than in Germany. In seeking explanations for these trends, the study explores linkages between institutional structures, governance frameworks and inequality, connecting the research on federalism with the literature on inequality extraction.
