EXERCISE UNDER DEATH-ANXIETY: INVESTIGATING INDIVIDUAL EXERCISE PSYCHOLOGY AND BEHAVIOR FROM PERSPECTIVE OF TERROR MANAGEMENT AND BEHAVIORAL IMMUNE SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
Authors: Pan Xuan
Published: July 2020

The outbreak of COVID-19 has spread worldwide and become the world’s leading health concern. Individuals are advised to stay inside and do exercise at home to avoid exposure to the disease and their psychological state is concerned. This study aims to investigate physical exercise behavior and psychological states during COVID-19, and to provide helpful suggestions for making right policies or designing effective intervention programs to help the mass respond to the pandemic. Methods: we tested the hypotheses by conducting a national survey among 542 individuals, the data covered 28 provinces in China. Information about physical exercise habits, psychological states, perceived infection likelihood, perceived threat, attitudes towards exercise, and demographics was collected. A series of T-tests were applied to test the hypotheses. Results: The individuals who do exercise both before and during COVID-19 outbreak increased the physical exercise frequency and reduced the categories of physical activities during COVID-19. Individuals who perceive high-level threat increased future exercise time and consumption, whereas individuals surrounded by more confirmed cases (high-level objective threat) increased current exercise frequency and intensity. With the company of family members, individuals’ exercise intention, frequency, intensity and the possibility of future exercise time and activities was significantly higher. Conclusion: Under the threat of COVID-19, proximal defense (self-preservation) and distal defense (self-esteem enhancement) motivate individuals to increase exercise frequency. Individuals reduce types of physical activities and do exercise with family members to receive psychological security. Terror management theory and behavioral immune system provide theoretical explanations on individuals’ exercise behavior and psychology.

Published: July 2020

The pandemic COVID-19 constituted one of the greatest ordeals the world has seen in the last decades. Social isolation has changed athletes’ lives completely and brought a number of consequences – both technical and psychological. The aim of this study was to investigate the dominant psychic conditions and perfectionism and their relation to the preferred coping strategies during the pandemic COVID-19 among sports students from Bulgaria and Russia and to outline their specificity depending on their gender, kind of sport, qualification, and nationality. The research was done among 199 sports students from Bulgaria and Russia who practice 18 kinds of sport, aged between 16 and 32 years, divided into groups according to their gender, kind of sport, level of qualification, nationality. The research methods included: 1) Sociodemographic, personal and sports evaluation; 2) Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS, Frost, Marten, Lahart & Rosenblate, 1990), adapted for Bulgarian conditions by T. Iancheva, 2009; 3) Profile of Mood States (McNair, Lorr, & Droppleman, 1971); 4) Approach to Coping in Sport Questionnaire (ACSQ-1; Kim 1999; Kim & Duda, 1997). There are significant differences depending on gender, kind of sport, qualification, and nationality. The specific role of adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism was viewed in relation to the dominant psychic conditions during social isolation and the preferred coping strategies.

Introduction and aim. The problem of constructing a training process for highly skilled players at the special preparation phase is not researched well enough. The special preparation phase should involve the specificity of the competition calendar, development of the structure and content of the corresponding types of micro cycles, and scientifically based selection of methods of training. The aim of the research is to analyze the structure and content of the training process of highly skilled football players during the special preparation phase of the preparation period at the first macrocycle of the annual cycle. Materials and methods. 22 highly skilled football players of Kamianets-Podіlskyi National Ivan Ohiienko University aged 18-23 participated in the research. All of them are MA students and elite athletes. Methods of analysis of scientific literature, pedagogical observation, timing of training work, and mathematical statistics were used in the research. Results and conclusions. The special preparation phase consists of two mesocycles. The basic stabilizing (control and preparation) mesocycle - the volume and intensity of training sessions - was characterized by the widespread use of special-training exercises. In comparison with previous mesocycles, considerably more trainings were devoted to technical, tactical and game preparation. Technical and tactical training was carried out in the form of adaptive training exercises along with special physical training. Pre-competition mesocycle rolled up the preparation of the athletes for the competition period. The reparation in this mesocycle had an expressed “integral” character. In this mesocycle, one should not forget about maintaining the level of special physical fitness. Maintaining it throughout the mesocycle is one of the important prerequisites for the steady growth of athletes’ physical state, but the composition of the means significantly changed by increasing the proportion of special technical and tactical exercises being held. In this mesocycle, the largest number of control games, starts, competitions, etc. were carried out. A special place in pre-competition mesocycle was taken by tactical and psychological training. The proportion of theoretical training also increased.

Authors: Karabiberov Julian
Published: July 2020

The manuscript presents the model for conditional training implemented in 2018 in the new female volleyball national team. The methods of the Bulgarian training system Fit Motion-Professional were used with a female national team for the first time. The training scheme follows the modular principle and is based on innovative methods and principles, various means and parallel-consecutive planning aimed mostly at the development of the motor qualities in each module. The interrelations between the basic motor qualities have been surveyed as well as the dynamics in their development at the different stages and in the different modules, and their efficiency in the volleyball game. The major aim of this manuscript is to study the efficiency of the model for conditional training of elite female volleyball players. Some new equipment and facilities have been designed for functional-conditional training in relation to the team’s preparation. In order to prove the higher efficiency of the model compared to the standard conditioning training used in Bulgaria, an experiment was further carried out with the Republican Women’s Volleyball Champion, the team of Maritsa Plovdiv.
RESEARCH ON ANTHROPOMETRIC FACTORS AND BALANCE STABILITY OF FIGURE SKATERS
Authors: Yordanova Tatiana
Published: July 2020

One of the characteristics of modern figure skating is the progressive complication of the competitive programs. This process develops, in particular, in the way of athletes’ mastery of complex coordination elements and compounds of a rotating nature, which appear to be a strong irritant to the vestibular analyzer. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of anthropometric factors on the balance stability of female figure skaters. The study’s tasks, which are divided into three groups, as well as the subject and object of the study, are presented. The used methods are described. The methodology of the study is separated and detailed. Also, the different abilities of the body for balance resistance, in various motor actions are described. One of the main used methods is called Stabilometry. The design of the study is followed. The results are visualized in six tables, which are illustrated by five figures. In conclusion, the dependence of Anthropometric status is noted in accordance with the height and length of the lower limbs and the width of the pelvis. The dynamic retention of the balance in landing position is more effective than the static balance in the Romberg posture, which is explained by the specificity of the sport figure skating. There is a worsening of the balance in the increase of anthropometric parameters – height, weight and chest circumference. Balance fluctuations in the Romberg position are significantly dependent on the weight and chest circumference, while the height of the skaters affects the balance – with increasing amplitude there is also an increase in balance fluctuations in the landing position after a jump, i.e. the balance is unstable, which is explained by a higher placement of the center of gravity of the body.
Enough to Hang Your Hat On

Texas law is currently silent on the issue of whether insurance companies may sell insurance policies that require policyholders to bring coverage disputes to an arbitrator rather than the courts. As incentives increase for insurance companies to avoid costly litigation and for consumers to cut ever- increasing premiums, this creates a situation where a hasty, ill-considered proposal to allow such policy terms could shake the insurance market and public policy in the state for years to come. Rather than taking a reactive position, the Texas legislature should work with the Department of Insurance and stake- holders to affirmatively decide: (1) whether to allow such policies at all and, if so, (2) to create a robust legal framework that companies and consumers can both benefit from and rely upon. Other countries, such as the United Kingdom, have well-established frameworks in place that can be instructive, as University of Minnesota Law School professor Daniel Schwarcz has argued. Ultimately though, Texas must determine for itself what policy will suit such a vast and diverse state, particularly given its extreme weather.

Texas should consider establishing an independent body to assist in insurance dispute resolution and to promote transparency. This Comment lays out the case for doing so: better outcomes, better insurance, and better access to justice.
Guilty Until Proven Innocent
Authors: Suarez Luis
Published: July 2020

Law enforcement departments across the country use civil asset forfeiture as a method to fund the work of law enforcement departments under the guise of combatting the “War on Drugs.” Attorney General Jeff Sessions made in- creasing civil asset forfeiture a DOJ priority. If civil asset forfeiture continues to rise to the level that Attorney General Sessions would like to see it, then we will soon find ourselves fighting to keep what is rightfully ours. This Comment will argue that the government should be required to prove that the owner of forfeited property had actual knowledge that the property was connected to an underlying crime.

Dick M. Carpenter, Director for the Institute for Justice, believes that civil asset forfeiture is a thing of the past that today’s legal system should eschew. Civil asset forfeiture plays a relevant role in contemporary law enforcement, but additional safeguards should be enacted to ensure that civil asset forfeiture is not used at the expense of citizens’ property rights.

Uniform reporting reform regarding forfeiture should occur amongst the states, and the government must prove that the innocent owner is not innocent. This is not to say that the government is required to succeed in a criminal prosecution before property can be forfeited, but this Comment argues that the government must prove from the onset that any owner of the property is not innocent and detached from the crime. Property owners should never be forced to prove their innocence without the constitutional protections guaranteed in criminal courts.
Algorithm-Based Recruiting Technology in the Workplace
Authors: Mainka Spencer
Published: July 2020

Traditional recruiting methods are inefficient and cost employers valuable time, money, and human resources. Additionally, traditional recruiting is subject to the biases and prejudices of a human recruiter. Machine learning, algorithm-based recruiting technology promises to be an efficient and effective solution to employee recruiting by utilizing 21st century technology to engage, screen, and interview top talent. While the promise of algorithm-based deci- sion-making is attractive to many business owners, the practical legal considerations of its use for an ordinary small-to-medium sized employer have not been discussed. Legal scholarship in the area of algorithm-based employment decision making has primarily focused on data-driven unlawful discrimination and proposed government regulation. This Comment fills that gap by providing a summary of algorithm-based recruiting technology, its legal effects, and the best practices for an employer or an unfamiliar employment lawyer interested in adopting algorithm-based recruiting technology.

Authors: Blais N. , Bouchard M. , Chinas M. , Lizotte H. , Morneau M. , Spicer J. , Martel S.
Published: July 2020

Background: The emergence of covid-19 has the potential to change the way in which the health care system can accommodate various patient populations and might affect patients with non–covid-19 problems. The Quebec Lung Cancer Network, which oversees thoracic oncology services in the province of Quebec under the direction of the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux, convened to develop recommendations to deal with the potential disruption of services in thoracic oncology in the province of Quebec. The summary provided here has been adapted from the original document posted on the Programme québécois du cancer Web site at: https://www.msss.gouv.qc.ca/professionnels/documents/coronavirus-2019-ncov/PJ1_Recommandations_oncologie-thoracique-200415.pdf. Methods: Plans to optimize the health care system and potentially to prioritize services were discussed with respect to various levels of activity. For each level-of-activity scenario, suggestions were made for the services and treatments to prioritize and for those that might have to be postponed, as well as for potential alternatives to care. Results: The principal recommendation is that the cancer centre executive committee and the multidisciplinary tumour board always try to find a solution to maintain standard-of-care therapy for all patients with thoracic tumours, using novel approaches to treatment and the adoption of a network approach to care, as needed. Conclusions: The effect of the covid-19 pandemic on the health care system remains unpredictable and requires that cancer teams unite and offer the most efficient and innovative therapies to all patients under the various conditions that might be forced upon them.

Published: July 2020

There has been considerable interest in empirical research on epistemic emotions, i.e., emotions related to knowledge-generating qualities of cognitive tasks and activities such as curiosity, interest, and surprise. One big challenge when studying epistemic emotions is systematically inducting these emotions in restricted experimental settings. The current study created a novel stimulus set called Magic Curiosity Arousing Tricks (MagicCATs): a collection of 166 short magic trick video clips that aim to induce a variety of epistemic emotions. MagicCATs are freely available for research and can be used in a variety of ways to examine epistemic emotions. Rating data also support that the magic tricks elicit a variety of epistemic emotions with sufficient inter-stimulus variability, demonstrating good psychometric properties for their use in psychological experiments.

Published: July 2020

El crudo pesado, por su alta viscosidad, requiere de mayor energía para su transporte debido a que produce disminución en la eficiencia de las bombas de transferencia. En esta investigación, se evaluó el efecto de productos reductores de viscosidad a nivel de laboratorio y en pruebas de campo. En los ensayos de laboratorio se probaron cuatro tipos de reductores de viscosidad en un crudo del oriente ecuatoriano y se elaboraron curvas de temperatura de calentamiento y enfriamiento de 40 a 80°C con dosificaciones de 400, 550, 700 y 1 000 ppm. El crudo utilizado en el estudio presentó 38% BS&W y 19,5°API. El producto que entregó los mejores resultados fue el denominado VRX-02, con dosificación de 700 ppm. Las pruebas en campo se realizaron para evaluar la eficiencia del aditivo VRX-02, se inyectó este producto en una línea de transferencia de 15 km. Se obtuvo una reducción de viscosidad del crudo del 28% a la temperatura operación de 30°C. Se registró un incremento en la transferencia de 198 barriles de fluido total (agua y crudo) por día (BFPD) y un incremento de crudo seco de 249 barriles por día (BOPD), debido a que el químico actúa también como rompedor de emulsión y permite una mejor separación del crudo y el agua. Con los resultados obtenidos se realizó el diseño de un sistema de inyección del aditivo y se evaluó económicamente el proyecto. A través de indicadores financieros se determinó que la instalación del sistema de reducción de viscosidad sea favorable.

Groundwater Resources as a Resilient Alternative for Irrigation in the Upper West Region of Ghana – A Study of Groundwater Potential
Authors: Abdul-Ganiyu Shaibu , Prosper Kpiebaya
Published: July 2020

Groundwater use has increased substantially for both domestic and agricultural purposes in the growing communities of Ghana. The way climate change has treated agriculture in some parts of Africa; it can possibly sabotage food security if policies on groundwater irrigation are not adopted. Geology of the Birimian is known for its high-moderate groundwater potential. This kind of formation occurs in the Northwestern corner, the middle portion and some parts in southern Ghana. Previous study has suggested that there are more than 779 functional boreholes that exist within the study area. The groundwater potential within the study area was studied using typical hydrogeological factors such as; groundwater resistivity, overburden thickness, borehole success rate and groundwater pumping rate. Resistivity values between 38.480 ohm.m – 103.740 ohm.m showed areas of fresh to brackish groundwater resource having a saturated thickness ranging from 13.79 m to 16.27 m. Information regarding borehole depth indicates that places of high SWL (20.60 m) probably has shallow depth and places of low SWL (18.75 m) are likely to have deeper depth. Generally, areas within Tegberi and Tumu are known for its high success rate. The storage capacity and the extractble storage were estimated to be approximately 134.9 x 10³ km³ and 53.23 x 10³ km³ respectively for the aquifer basement complex of the 35 boreholes. The research targeted areas of high groundwater success rate so as to minimise the gap in the computation that may be affected as a result of the dry boreholes. The pumping rate showed that large quantity of groundwater was discharged from the boreholes; hence the exploration of groundwater as an alternative water supply for irrigation and agricultural production within the Upper West Region might be feasible.
FEASIBILITY OF USING GROUP METHOD OF DATA HANDLING (GMDH) APPROACH FOR HORIZONTAL COORDINATE TRANSFORMATION
Authors: Kumi-Boateng Bernard , Ziggah Yao Yevenyo
Published: July 2020

Machine learning algorithms have emerged as a new paradigm shift in geoscience computations and applications. The present study aims to assess the suitability of Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) in coordinate transformation. The data used for the coordinate transformation constitute the Ghana national triangulation network which is based on the two-horizontal geodetic datums (Accra 1929 and Leigon 1977) utilised for geospatial applications in Ghana. The GMDH result was compared with other standard methods such as Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN), Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN), 2D conformal, and 2D affine. It was observed that the proposed GMDH approach is very efficient in transforming coordinates from the Leigon 1977 datum to the official mapping datum of Ghana, i.e. Accra 1929 datum. It was also found that GMDH could produce comparable and satisfactory results just like the widely used BPNN and RBFNN. However, the classical transformation methods (2D affine and 2D conformal) performed poorly when compared with the machine learning models (GMDH, BPNN and RBFNN). The computational strength of the machine learning models’ is attributed to its self-adaptive capability to detect patterns in data set without considering the existence of functional relationships between the input and output variables. To this end, the proposed GMDH model could be used as a supplementary computational tool to the existing transformation procedures used in the Ghana geodetic reference network.
An Apparent Jump in the Radio Position of J1147+3501
Authors: Titov Oleg , Frey Sándor
Published: July 2020

The fundamental celestial reference frame is realized by observations of extragalactic radio sources using the technique of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI). Compact radio-emitting active galactic nuclei are regularly used as reference points for relative positioning of other radio sources. VLBI absolute astrometric data indicate that the nucleus of the nearby radio galaxy J1147+3501 apparently changed its position by about 0.″02 some time between 1999 and 2017. We suggest that this unusually large displacement is a consequence of a drastic change in the source brightness distribution as revealed by archival high-resolution VLBI images.
Frozen Zoo: a collection of permafrost samples containing viable protists and their viruses
Authors: Malavin Stas , Shmakova Lyubov , Claverie Jean-Michel , Rivkina Elizaveta
Published: July 2020

Permafrost, frozen ground cemented with ice, occupies about a quarter of the Earth’s hard surface and reaches up to 1000 metres depth. Due to constant subzero temperatures, permafrost represents a unique record of past epochs, whenever it comes to accumulated methane, oxygen isotope ratio or stored mummies of animals. Permafrost is also a unique environment where cryptobiotic stages of different microorganisms are trapped and stored alive for up to hundreds of thousands of years. Several protist strains and two giant protist viruses isolated from permafrost cores have been already described.

In this paper, we describe a collection of 35 amoeboid protist strains isolated from the samples of Holocene and Pleistocene permanently frozen sediments. These samples are stored at −18°C in the Soil Cryology Lab, Pushchino, Russia and may be used for further studies and isolation attempts. The collection strains are maintained in liquid media and may be available upon request. The paper also presents a dataset which consists of a table describing the samples and their properties (termed "Sampling events") and a table describing the isolated strains (termed "Occurrences"). The dataset is publicly available through the GBIF portal.

Les antécédents inattendus du concept de pulsion de mort
Authors: Wolff Bernstein Jeanne , Signorelli Mila
Published: July 2020

Même si Freud n’a introduit Éros et Thanatos que tardivement (en 1920), il existait déjà des idées précurseuses dans sa théorie et dans ses écrits plus anciens, qui ne sont pas d’ordinaire associées à la pulsion de mort. Le présent article propose un retour aux origines de la théorisation de la pulsion de mort et de la détermination de sa double nature complexe, entrelacée avec l’Éros. La description de la pulsion de mort comme une force qui n’est pas exclusivement destructrice sert à l’auteure de point de départ pour une approximation avec la notion lacanienne de jouissance , ce qui lui permet de penser aux travaux cliniques actuels et à la construction d’une théorie contemporaine.

Cette recherche est centrée sur la compréhension du jeu entre le même et l'autre des jumeaux monozygotes ; ceux-ci ont inspiré un ensemble de travaux dans la littérature psychanalytique dont nous restituerons les aspects les plus saillants. Nous illustrons la problématique gémellaire par une situation clinique qui pose notamment la question de la différenciation soi/non soi en proposant que, dans ce contexte, la mère peut être un objet symbiotique tiers.
Du néolibéralisme au Tsunami Cognitivo-Comportemental en Grande-Bretagne
Authors: Rabeyron Thomas
Published: July 2020

Ce travail propose une analyse critique de l’évolution des prises en charge psychothérapiques en Grande-Bretagne à partir des réflexions de Farhad Dalal (2019) dans un ouvrage intitulé CBT: The Cognitive Behavioural Tsunami . Après avoir souligné les affinités idéologiques qui associent néolibéralisme et thérapies cognitivo-comportementales (TCC), nous décrivons la manière dont ces dernières ont construit un mythe de leurs origines reposant sur l’idée, mensongère et démentie par la recherche empirique, de leur supposée meilleure efficacité en rapport des autres approches. Ce discours idéologique s’inscrit plus largement dans le contexte actuel des Psy Wars et le développement de la psychiatrie biologique ayant mené aux évolutions contemporaines du DSM. L’émergence du néo-libéralisme et son impact sociétal menant à l’ homo economicus ainsi que les méthodes du management qui en découlent sont ensuite présentés. Ces différents éléments contextuels aident à comprendre la naissance à la mise en place de l’IAPT en Grande-Bretagne, un large programme censé améliorer les prises en charge psychothérapiques à partir d’une libéralisation de ce secteur. Ce programme s’appuie sur les recommandations du NICE qui a favorisé l’utilisation quasi exclusive des TCC. Après avoir présenté comment un patient est suivi grâce à l’IAPT, nous soulignons les dérives et les échecs de ce système. Nous proposons ensuite une synthèse des différentes formes de corruptions scientifiques associées aux TCC en prenant pour exemple deux études récentes. Ces dérives rendent intelligible l’écart observé entre les résultats empiriques des recherches en ce domaine et le manque d’efficacité des TCC dans la prise en charge des patients. L’ensemble de ces éléments apparaissent essentiels afin de ne pas reproduire en France les mêmes erreurs qu’en Grande-Bretagne dans la mise en place des futures politiques de santé publique dans le champ des psychothérapies.

This study is of three-fold. The first provides a general overview of the history and importance of “Technical and Vocational Education and Train-ing” (TVET); the second compares TVET in The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the United Kingdom (as a pioneer country in the field) in order to explore points of similarity and differences and to make recommendations for TVET im-provement in UAE; and the third analyses the relationship between teacher train-ing programmes, accessibility to technical resources, teachers’ technology inte-gration, and the mission and vision of technical and vocational institutes in UAE. Data were collected from 175 teachers and administrators of Technical Vocational Colleges (TVCs) in the UAE. To ensure a comprehensive exploration of the top-ic, three separate research models were developed and tested. All models were analysed using covariance-based structural equation modelling (SEM) through AMOS version 24. Results showed that there is a positive and significant rela-tionship between teachers’ technology integration, teacher training programmes and accessibility to technical resources/equipment, and the mission and vision of the technical and vocational institutes.

Published: July 2020

The present study was aimed at analyzing the factors that contribute to engage students in active learning through Formative on mobile devices. It also focused on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students’ perceptions of using this tool for enhancing active learning. The participants were 82 adult on-site learners en-rolled in five different courses of an English program at a university level. In ad-dition, 5 English instructors were in charge of teaching the aforementioned stu-dents. An action-research design along with a mixed-method approach were used to analyze the data in this study. The information was gathered through diagnostic questionnaires, observations, and perceptions questionnaires. The results evi-denced that engagement, motivation, participation, and reduction in students’ anx-iety constitute the most relevant factors that contributed to involve students in ac-tive learning through the use of Formative on mobile devices. The tool was per-ceived as motivating and engaging because it allowed students to enhance active learning and get directly involved in the class activities to demonstrate their knowledge.

Published: July 2020

Online learning platforms play an important role in modern education. However, they may not be sufficiently represented in educational institutions. In this regard, the research objectives are set, namely: organize a comparative analysis of several popular distance learning platforms (Moodle, Open edX and NEO LMS) in accordance with the criteria (system features, content support, content creation, user management, reporting system; conduct consultation with university teachers, during which they will highlight the benefits of distance education systems from the point of view of the teacher; and test students, who use the online platform for learning in order to clarify its impact on academic performance. While consulting with 40 teachers of Russian and Chinese universities (Moscow State University, Higher School of Economics, Peking University, Tsinghua University), the following advantages of distance platforms have been highlighted: greater freedom of access, lower education prices, the possibility of dividing the content of the e-course into modules, flexibility of education, the ability to keep up with modern pace of life, and the ability to define criteria for assessing knowledge. According to the results of testing, after working with the Moodle platform, students (300 people in total) with different academic performance have improved their results. The most significant improvement has occurred among students with “unsatisfactory” grades; more than 50% have improved their results. Analysis of distance learning systems, testing of students and consultation with teachers allow saying that such platforms help to make education more accessible and convenient. Besides, information technologies are introduced in the educational process. That is why it is important to implement such platforms in higher education.

The effective use of emerging technologies demands the training of highly quali-fied personnel with digital literacy professional skills. The aim of the study is to characterize the virtual construction site as a digital resource for pedagogical man-agement of the educational process in the construction university. The principles of tradition and innovation have become the methodological basis for linking best practices in pedagogical management of the learning process with qualitative changes based on modern digital technologies. A virtual construction site entails a digital resource imitating professional activities and providing integration of sci-ence, technology, pedagogical management of educational process on the basis of common standards of data description. The content of the virtual construction site represents a complex multi-level menu corresponding to the construction stages. Efficiency criteria (metaproject, activity, digital, relevant, complex) allow to find out the level of formation of ability to work with digital technologies. The princi-ples of selection and structuring of content ensure its validity and updating. The practical significance of the research is provided by the didactic functions of the virtual construction site, providing for the involvement of students in design and construction activities, establishment of interdisciplinary relations. The social sig-nificance consists in personalisation of the educational process and formation of the students' professional individuality. The originality of the study lies in the jus-tification of the digital paradigm of higher education, which forms a pedagogical community that promotes and actively integrates digital content into the educa-tional process.

Among innovative e-learning approaches in the sphere of digital economy and logistics, there is a special focus on artificial intelligence technologies (AI), which, due to their capacity and efficiency in usage, have a significant potential for the development and to some extent are optimal IT tools. The objective of a study is to define an optimum IT software for the organization of massive open online courses (MOOC) in digital economy and digital logistics in the framework of training economics students. Authors have conducted a survey in terms of In-ternet use for education and self-education. The sampling volume makes up 1 600 respondents in at least 80 regions of the Russian Federation. The respondents are divided into four age groups: 18-24 years old, 25-39 years old, 40-54 years old, 55 years old and older. The study uses data from the survey conducted by KMDA.PRO related to digital transformation of 700 representatives from more than 300 Russian companies out of 15 industries and the results of in-depth in-terviews of four categories of employees: top managers, heads of units, mid-level managers and other employees. The study results testify to the need for trans-forming e-learning approaches, taking into account the new labor market re-quirements for training specialists in digital logistics and gaining respective skills such as an active training, coordination, negotiation skills, teaching others, infor-mation literacy, customer focus, oral communication, ability to solve complex is-sues, operational literacy, time management. The use of the research results in practice is possible in case of the organization of online training courses for eco-nomics students in the framework of the higher educational system.

This article considers the opportunities of using Moodle LMS (learning management system) tools to ensure the effective implementation of an innovative policy of the higher educational institution. In the framework of digital transformation of social space an important and relevant topic for higher educational institutions is the creation of high-quality information and communication environment, which shall correspond to the contemporary state of science and technology development, global educational standards and information society needs. The advantages of the Moodle system are studied. Moodle system provides for a comprehensive educational process through its extensive educational content, a system for control, monitoring and evaluating the knowledge quality. The authors compare the four-phased model of knowledge management with the capacities of LMS Moodle educational environment. The latter is capable of simulating professional actions in a virtual educational space that allows the university to train advanced specialists and ensure a high level of their professional skills based on hard and soft skills. The perceptive and cognitive attitude of university students and teachers towards the implementation of the LMS Moodle educational platform was researched. The research has brought out the subjective assessment model of the innovative process with clear meaningful factors of changes’ perception. Such a model allows understanding the collective attitude to the university’s policy and highlighting mental settings necessary for working with human resources within the social adaptation and diffusion of innovation. The synergy of technological and managerial innovations has been updated to ensure completeness and efficiency in presenting a professional educational product based on the LMS Moodle platform.

In the pursuit of “Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation”, many colleges have opened a new course called Innovation and Entrepreneurship. However, the existing studies on innovation and entrepreneurship (IE) education mainly focus on education reform, failing to tackle the cultivation of IE spirit among college students. To make up for the gap, this paper firstly introduces the theory of educational psychology and the theory of planned behavior (TPB), and summarizes the status quo of the IE education in developed countries (e.g. the US, the UK and Japan) and developing countries (e.g. China). Next, the influencing factors of the entrepreneurial intention of college students were modelled based on the TPB, and a questionnaire survey on the correlation between the influencing factors and the entrepreneurial intention was conducted among college students in Baoji University of Arts and Sciences. The survey results were imported to our model, and subjected to computations on Amos 26.0, maximum likelihood estimation and standardized analysis. The results show that the entrepreneurial intention has a significant positive correlation with the attitude toward the IE and the perceived behavioral control, and an insignificant positive correlation with the subjective norms; the entrepreneurial intention of college students is directly affected by social impacts, in addition to school education; the IE education should pay attention to the practical experience of college students. The research results provide a good reference to the cultivation of IE spirit among college students.

To realize education informatization, it is highly necessary to recommend teaching resources to students that can enhance their learning interest and improve teaching quality. This paper develops a personalized matching system for management teaching resources based on collaborative filtering (CF) algorithm. Firstly, the authors set up a user interest model, designed the flow and algorithm for personalized matching, and improved the similarity calculation method. Next, a personalized recommendation algorithm was developed based on the CF, and a personalized matching engine was constructed with the aid of Apache Mahout. The experimental results show that the proposed CF algorithm can effectively improve the recommendation quality, and push personalized teaching resources to each user; the learners are highly satisfied with the personalized matching system. The research results shed new light on personalized recommendation of teaching resources, opening up a new way to education informatization.

The ability to speak English fluently and confidently plays a vital role in enhancing employment opportunities of graduate students of India. Though English has been a second language for over decades in the country, teaching speaking skills with intelligible pronunciation to the first generation of learners remains a major challenge. The limited number of classes allotted for English speaking and pronunciation and lack of resources make it more challenging. Previous research suggests that Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) offers anywhere and anytime learning opportunities for second language learners. However, there is little research on how mobile learning enhances speaking skills and pronunciation of tertiary level students from rural areas who lack exposure to English outside the classroom. The present paper aims at studying the impact of MALL in improving a) speaking skills b) segmental and suprasegmental features of pronunciation and c) the viability of bring your own device (BYOD) approach. Mixed methods approach has been adopted for collecting the data from twenty five (n=25) randomly selected students who underwent training with BYOD. The results showed a positive effect on the speaking skills and the overall intelligibility of the participants. The use of smartphones also resulted in improved learners’ engagement in the language learning. Teachers at tertiary level could benefit from the study, adopt digital technologies in L2 teaching and learning and further extend the scope of the study with their experiences.
