Lexiconul Staicu în raport cu cele din familia Berînda: ortografie și alcătuire
Authors: Felea Ion-Mihai
Published: August 2021

În secolul al XVII-lea apar primele manuscrise cu dicționare slavo-române, iar șase dintre acestea au ajuns pînă în zilele noastre în formă aproape intactă. Punctul lor de plecare a fost Lexiconul lui Pamvo Berînda (1627), la care au fost adăugate mai multe liste de cuvinte în unele manuscrise. Aceste manuscrise au fost studiate pînă în prezent în special din perspectivă lexicală.

Studiul de față și-a propus să descrie modalitățile de alcătuire a lexicoanelor, să observe variațiile ortografice importante și să devină un instrument în plus pentru stabilirea rețelei de filiații din care au rezultat lexicoanele românești. Observațiile sînt făcute asupra intrărilor de la primele trei slove din lexicoanele amintite. Avînd la dispoziție toate lexicoanele în format digital, am identificat propagarea mai multor erori în rîndul antigrafelor românești, am evidențiat mai multe fapte de grafie și am comparat listele suplimentare.

Datele arată că manuscrisele românești conservă în grad diferit ortografia din Lexiconul lui Berînda și listele suplimentare. Variațiile sugerează existența a cel puțin unui protograf între sursă și lexicoanele românești. Aplicată la întreg conținutul manuscrisului, investigarea acestor variații ar putea contribui la identificarea manuscrisului care este cel mai apropiat de redacția inițială.
Insults – between dysphemisms and markers of emotional closeness
Authors: Pașca Roxana
Published: August 2021

The present investigative approach proposes an analysis of insults from a socio-, psycho- and pragmalinguistic perspective, aiming to reveal the complex character of this type of communication.

Given that insults, as reactive acts of speech, are dependent on both the intentions of the speaker and the way the receiver decodes the statement, we suggested a classification based on the illocutionary point (motivated insults—with negative or positive illocutionary point—and unmotivated insults) and on the propositional content (direct insults—within this category, we analyzed the lexical innovations generated by the Covid-19 pandemic, especially the dysphemic use of the participle (substantivized) adjective covidat—and indirect insults).

Although the oral communication provides the necessary data for the manifestation of insults, in addition to the sequences selected from TV shows, we chose messages written on various social networking sites and excerpts from online forums. Under the protection of anonymity, users are uninhibited and they violate socially imposed linguistic norms without fear of being held accountable for their actions.
On hate and the typology of the misfit in Dostoevsky’s and Salinger’s Works
Authors: Bârleanu Călin-Horia
Published: August 2021

As part of the death drive, hate, so prevalent in world literature as the natural state of so many characters, has led the creative spirits, preoccupied invariably with metamorphosis and ascension, to produce genuine masterpieces. Whether malignant or benign (socially justified), hate, along with its many shapes and forms, generates attitudes which characterize a fundamental concept in Dostoevsky’s fiction, namely the antihero. Displaying typical features that are traceable throughout literature from the great Russian author on, the character dominated by hate withdraws from the world, thus fueling his alienation.
În numele tatălui. Un mit personal dostoievskian
Authors: Bârleanu Călin-Horia
Published: August 2021

De numele lui Dostoievski se leagă, deja, aproape la fel de multe mituri, unele în legătură cu opera, altele în raport direct cu viața scriitorului. Fără să-i poată umbri, însă, din strălucire, cu atît mai mult cu cît adevărata dimensiune a marii sale opere nu încetează să-și dezvăluie secretele și sensurile. Concentrat în multe dintre capodoperele sale pe figura paternă, proiectată la modul manifest sau uneori, într-un registru latent, scriitorul rămîne captiv propriilor sale subterane, din care își extrage creativitatea, sublimînd fără îndoială, o suferință. Iar acea suferință se pare că a încercat-o, în mod constant pe tot parcursul vieții. Țesătura simbolică a operei dezvăluie o adevărată rețea tematică în care figura tatălui domină asemenea unei divinități, de cele mai multe ori, indiferente și absente.
SOCIAL MEDIA POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENT YOUTH’S CIVIС COMPETENCE
Authors: Ostapenko I. V.
Published: August 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of the results of an empirical study of the potential of social media for civic competence development. Modern approaches to understanding civic competence and the use of social media are analyzed. The main vectors of social media influence on the development of civic competence are determined: informational, valuemotivational, emotional-consolidating, mobilizing. Using the method of evaluative repertoire grids, the structural components of civic competence of student youth, which are developed by means of social media, are determined. A method for identifying the leading motives for the use of social media for civic competence development is proposed. Two groups of motives are defined: target and instrumental. It is established that among the target motives for the use of social media the leading role for student youth is played by: 1) self-expression and self-exposure - declaring one’s own civiс position (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube); 2) self-identification with representatives of social groups who have common views on certain issues (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram); 3) joint entertainment (Instagram, Youtube, TikTok); 4) establishing contacts (Instagram, Viber, Telegram); 5) expanding ideas about the rights and responsibilities of citizens (Facebook, Youtube); 6) the opportunity to discuss socially significant and political and legal issues (Facebook, Twitter). The leading instrumental motive is the use of social media as a means of: 1) finding educational programs, information resources for self-education (Youtube, Facebook, Instagram); 2) satisfaction of aesthetic needs (Instagram, Youtube, TikTok); 3) keeping in touch with those who it is not possible to see in real life (Viber, Telegram, Instagram); 4) development of an individual’s social capital (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube); 5) generation of ideas and relevant content (posts / texts, audio and video content, comics, memes) on socially significant and political and legal issues (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube); 6) job search tool (Facebook, Instagram).

Boron and boron compounds have benefical effects on health of human and animals.This study was designed to determine the protective effect of borax (BX) in doxorubicin (DXR) induced cardiotoxicity in rats. In this study, 20 Wistar-Albino male rats were used. The rats were divided into four groups including 5 rats in each one; control group (standard pellet food + water + normal saline), doxorubicin (3.75 mg/kg/ip, single dose in a week), doxorubicin + borax (3,75 mg/kg/ip + 25 mg/kg/oral/ respectively), and borax (25 mg/kg/oral, single dose in a week). At the end of the experiment, to evaluate antioxidant activity MDA, GSH, CAT, SOD levels determined in blood samples of rats. Besides, CK levels were investigated to determine the effect of doxorubucine on heart tissue. According to the results, MDA levels increased significantly in doxorubucin induced group (p
Videogame road scenes to measure hazard perception on experienced drivers
Authors: García Ramírez Yasmany Damián , Tapia Janina
Published: August 2021

Experienced drivers develop the hazard perception skills with the driving practice. Hazard perception can be estimated using various methodologies such as photos, videos, simulators, or driving tests. Videogames increasingly are offering more realistic environments, and they are less expensive than simulators. Therefore, the study aimed to analyze the hazard perception of experienced drivers using road scenes from videogames. This perception was compared to the objective one provided by iRAP. As a result, experienced drivers underestimate the real danger in the most dangerous places, and overestimate them in the least dangerous sites. Given the trend between these two perceptions, it calibrated a linear regression equation. Also, the differences between the types of drivers' licenses were found in the sample. The results may help to propose specific training plans for these drivers to adjust their hazard perception with the actual one.

Published: August 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has led countries to implement biosecurity and quarantine measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19; However, this situation has caused several sectors of the world economy to be in crisis, including construction. In this context, the objective of this article is to determine the impact of the COVID-19 quarantine on construction companies in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The methodology consisted of acquiring data through an online questionnaire from 42 construction companies in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The results show that there is a considerable reduction in income and personnel. The cost of labor increased more than materials, equipment and services. The greatest difficulties presented during the quarantine were: lack of payment by public institutions, limited credits from banks and physical delays in projects. It is necessary that the competent public entities generate policies and strategies to help in the recovery of the construction sector, being one of the most important within the Bolivian and world economy.

Replanteando la gestión de emergencias sanitarias
Authors: Lara Ortiz María Lidón
Published: August 2021

La pandemia de la COVID-19 ha puesto de relieve las debilidades existentes para afrontar una crisis sanitaria de gran envergadura. En España, la gestión de la emergencia ha evidenciado falta de previsión, de preparación, de planificación, exceso de improvisación, y la respuesta frente a esta ha recibido numerosas críticas por una hipotética vulneración de derechos fundamentales y libertades públicas, y por la posible invasión o limitación de las competencias autonómicas en relación con la gestión realizada a través del estado de alarma. Este trabajo pretende hacer un replanteamiento de la gestión de emergencias sanitarias de magnitudes considerables desde la óptica puramente jurídica, para proponer mejoras normativas, que permitan afrontar futuras emergencias similares de una forma más organizada y dentro del marco constitucional existente en nuestro país.
Correlation of knee society score and oxford knee score in patients with moderate to severe osteoarthritis of the knee
Authors: Phalswal Uma , Pandey Vandna , Kumar Ashok , Elhence Abhay
Published: August 2021

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a degenerative, non-inflammatory joint condition marked by articular cartilage disintegration and the growth of new bone (osteophytes) at the joint surfaces and borders. It impairs one's ability to function and makes one disabled. It is the most common rheumatic disease. Because the Knee is a weight-bearing joint and a crutch joint, it is the most usually afflicted joint by Osteoarthritis.

A Correlational study was conducted to find out the correlation between Knee Society Score (KSS) and Oxford Knee Score (OKS) on 142 Osteoarthritis Knees. Purposive sampling was used to collect data from the Orthopaedics OPD at AIIMS Jodhpur from October to December 2018.

On evaluation, the mean age of the patients was 60.19±1.01. Bilateral Knee Osteoarthritis affected about 42% of the patients. Approximately half of the patients were obese. Only 34% of patients had compliance in physiotherapy. Analgesics and massage treatment are used by about 76% of the patients to relieve knee pain. In the Knee Society Score, the majority of the patients (82.4%) had a bad knee condition, with a mean score of 49.07±1.06. In OKS, about half of the patients (46.5%) had Moderate to Severe Knee Osteoarthritis, with a mean score of 22.69±7.09. The correlation coefficient between the Knee Society Score and the Oxford Knee Score is 0.660. As a consequence of the analysis, both scales have almost the same outcome, indicating that they are moderately associated. The Knee Society Score is highly associated with occupation and physiotherapy, whereas the Oxford Knee Score is significantly related to the patients' age alone.

According to the study, there is a moderate correlation between the Knee Society Score (KSS) and the Oxford Knee Score (OKS). These scores should be included during the diagnosis of Knee Osteoarthritis for improved patient care.
Bilateral idiopathic club foot in baby of a rheumatoid mother: A rare case report and its management
Authors: Choudhary Ranjeet , Chandra Agrawal Alok , Pradip Inamdar Anupam , Raj Pandya , Verma Shilp
Published: August 2021

Congenital clubfoot has a multifaceted etiology, with several hypotheses offered in its etiopathogenesis. The clubfoot has rarely been reported in babies born to women who have rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We present a rare case of a 31-year-old lady with RA on disease-modifying anti-rheumatoid drugs who delivered a child with bilateral congenital clubfoot. She had previously been using Methotrexate, Hydroxychloroquine, and Sulfasalazine regularly, but Methotrexate was stopped seven months before pregnancy. A full-term female baby was born through the cesarean section with bilateral clubfoot deformity and a modified Pirani score of eight out of 10. The deformity correction was done with the Ponseti serial casting method. The final modified Pirani score was two out of ten. In newborns born to rheumatoid arthritis mothers, the club foot deformity was effectively treated with serial Ponseti corrective casts, as was idiopathic clubfoot in babies born to non-rheumatoid mothers. Our findings validate the Ponseti serial casting method for these kinds of patients.

Сравнительная оценка результатов ультрафиолетового кросслинкинга роговицы в комбинации с имплантацией интрастромальных роговичных колец при лечение кератоконуса
Authors: Магеррамов П.М.о.
Published: August 2021

В Национальном Офтальмологическом Центре имени академика З.Алиевой были оперированы по поводу кератоконуса (II-III стадия) 48 пациента (48 глаз) с применением ICRS, 32 пациента (32 глаз) с применением CXL, 21 пациента (21 глаз) с применением комбинации ICRS и CXL. Операции были выполнены по классическим протоколам. До операции и после операции (через 8 месяцев) все пациенты были обследованы с применением стандартной программы: визометрия с определением некоррегированной и максимально некор-регированной остроты зрения (НКОЗ и МКОЗ), авторефрактометрия и офтальмометрия на вершине кератоконуса (Кмах), пахиметрия и оптическая когерентная томография роговицы (Cirrus HD-OCT-5000, Carl Zeiss) с определением толщины эпителиального слоя, кератотопография с помощью Шаймифлюг анализатора роговицы (Wavelight Oculyzer -ALCON), микроскопия с подсчетом плотности эндотелиальных клеток (TOMEY Е.М.-3000). Дооперационная характеристика пациентов по возрасту, полу, НКОЗ и МКОЗ, а также по кератометрическим показателем сходная, что дает возможность проводить адекватное сравнение результатов оперативного вмешательства. У больных через 8 месяцев после операции статистически значимо улучшились основные функциональные (НКОЗ и МКОЗ) и рефракционных показатели роговицы. Это подтверждает эффективность всех вариантов (CXL, ICRS, CXL+ICRS) хирургических вмешательств. Сравнение этих показателей в послеоперационном периоде в группах пациентов, оперированных применением CXL, ICRS и их комбинации (CXL+ICRS), позволили выявить статистически значимое различие только по величине НКОЗ, которая составляла 0,42±0,04 при CXL, 0,40±0,05 при ICRS и 0,55±0,04 при комбинации CXL c ICRS. Комбинация ультрафиолетового кросслинкинга роговицы (CXL) и имплантации интрастромальных роговичных колец (ICRS) существенно повышает некорректированную остроту зрения, чем отдельное применение CXL и ICRS.

No One is on My Side: The Role of Abuse in Eating Disorders
Authors: Seijo N.
Published: August 2021

Eating disorders are considered some of the most difficult to treat and have the highest mortality rate of all mental disorders (Agras, 2001). Among them, anorexia nervosa is one of the psychiatric diagnoses with the highest mortality rate (Arcelus et al., 2011). In a longitudinal study conducted by Bulkin et al. (2007) from 1980 to 2005, it was found that – 80 – General question of world science applying medication and working with behavior yielded inconclusive results (Openshaw, et al. 2004). If eating disorders were solely dependent on food, it would make sense that changing eating behaviors makes it easier to get out of the disorder. Unfortunately, however, this is often not the case. The clinical case presented here is a clear example of the relationship between eating disorders and trauma, particularly sexual, emotional, power, and physical abuse.

Previous reports demonstrated that other betacoronaviruses were responsible for adverse outcomes during pregnancy in human. Due to inadequate data, the consequences of a SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy is still a public health concern in the second year of SARS-CoV-2 circulation in human population. Herein, we aimed to review the probable risk of intrauterine vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infection to the fetus, its adverse outcomes during pregnancy for both mother and the fetus and maternal risk factors which affect the severity Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19.
Mediastinal lymphadenopathy and prognosis of COVID-19 disease
Authors: Pilechian Sanaz , Pirsalehi Ali , Arabkoohi Abolfazl
Published: August 2021

Background and Objectives: There are conflicting studies on the prevalence of mediastinal lymphadenopathy (LAP) and its relationship to the prognosis of COVID-19 disease. The prevalence varied from 3.4 to 66 percent and more prevalent in pa- tients who died. This study aimed to investigate the mediastinal lymphadenopathy and the disease progression in COVID-19 patients.
Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, 195 COVID-19 patients were divided into two groups, with the medias- tinal lymphadenopathy and without it. In these groups, demographic characteristics, underlying diseases, laboratory results, and outcomes were compared.
Results: The median age in the LAP group was higher than the opposite group (62 vs. 58.5; p= 0.037). SpO2 (85% vs. 90%; P <0.001), lymphocyte count (760 vs. 969; p= 0.02), Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (5.53 vs. 4.41; p= 0.02), and ESR (36 vs. 29; p= 0.03) were significantly correlated with the presence of lymphadenopathy, using the Mann-Whitney Wilcoxon rank test. ICU admission (65.71% vs. 36.87; p= 0.003), mechanical ventilation (31.42% vs. 13.75%; p= 0.022), disease se- verity (65.71% vs. 40%; p <0.01), length of hospital stay (9 vs. 7; p= 0.039) and mortality rate (40% vs. 21.25%; p= 0.034) were more predominantly observed in the LAP group, using the χ2 test. There was no apparent difference in sex and the underlying diseases among the two groups.
Conclusion: This observation showed a relatively high prevalence of mediastinal lymphadenopathy in COVID-19 patients, which was more common in the elderly with low oxygen saturation. Therefore, LAP may lead to further intensive care needs, more use of mechanical ventilation, high severity of disease, and mortality rate.
Antibacterial activity of endosymbiotic bacterial compound from Pheretima sp. earthworms inhibit the growth of Salmonella Typhi and Staphylococcus aureus: in vitro and in silico approach
Authors: Husain Dirayah Rauf , Wardhani Riuh
Published: August 2021

Background and Objectives: Earthworms coexist with various pathogenic microorganisms; thus, their immunity mecha- nisms have developed through a long process of adaptation, including through endogenous bacterial symbionts. This study aims to identify earthworm endosymbiont bacteria compounds and their antibacterial activity through an in vitro approach supported by an in silico approach.
Materials and Methods: This research was conducted using the in vitro inhibition test through agar diffusion and the in silico test using molecular docking applications, namely, PyRx and Way2Drugs Prediction of Activity Spectra for Substances (PASS).
Results: The in vitro results showed a potent inhibition activity with a clear zone diameter of 21.75 and 15.5 mm for Staph- ylococcus aureus and Salmonella Typhi, respectively. These results are supported by chromatography and in silico tests, which showed that several compounds in endosymbiotic bacteria, cyclo (phenylalanyl-prolyl) and sedanolide, have high binding affinity values with several antibiotic-related target proteins in both pathogenic bacteria. Cyclo (phenylalanyl-prolyl) has the highest binding affinity of -6.0 to dihydropteroate synthase, -8.2 to topoisomerase, and -8.2 to the outer membrane, whereas sedanolide has the highest binding affinity to DNA gyrase with approximately -7.3. This antibiotic activity was also clarified through the Way2Drugs PASS application.
Conclusion: Ten active compounds of endosymbiont bacteria, Cyclo (phenylalanyl-prolyl) and sedanolide were potential candidates for antibacterial compounds based on the inhibition test of the agar diffusion method and the results of reverse docking and Way2Drugs PASS.

Authors: Laurian Fitzgerald Simona , Popa Carmen , Fitzgerald Carlton , Vesa Adina
Published: August 2021

In this action research study, the researchers worked collaboratively to integrate curriculum in four ways: 1. Professors engaged students in an interdisciplinary project, 2. Students performed a real-world task, 3. Students worked in small cooperative learning groups, and 4. Students engaged in helping young students experience a positive holiday season. The purpose of this study was to review how these integrative principles effected the preservice teachers academically, socially, and emotionally. Two cohorts of preservice teachers were enrolled in the same three courses during this study. One cohort of physical therapy (PT) majors were enrolled in a course developed to assist PT professionals with their communication skills, understanding of basic psychology, and special needs principles. The preservice teachers were learning how to teach: (a) penmanship, (b) letter writing, and, (c) promotive small group social skills for their future students. Seventy-nine students (54 pre-ervice teachers and 25 physical therapy students) participated in this action research project by engaging in a Santa writing experience. Young students in four schools wrote letters to Santa, and the university student participants responded to the letters of young students. Four professors collaborated in this project. The teachers included: a language and didactics professor, a curriculum professor, a writing (penmanship) professor, and an adjunct professor working with first year physical therapy students. Results of the study indicated that students: 1. found the process to be more difficult than they first thought; 2. appreciated the opportunity to help young students celebrate their holiday dreams; 3. felt they learned more deeply the goals of their classes; and 4. were proud to help young people enjoy their holidays. This process was fairly complex and, in spite of that complexity, the majority of students found the experience worthwhile from a teaching and learning perspective and from an existential perspective.
The Impact of Educational Policies in High Schools With a Sports Profile
Authors: Ardelean Mariana , Neagu Nicolae Emilian , Szabo Dan Alexandru
Published: August 2021

The aim of this research is to identify and analyse the causes that have influenced the total number of student places and career paths of graduates of a sports-program high school. In this sociological research, the case study method was used, which had in the foreground the Sports Program Suceava High school, from Romania. The sampling comprised the high school grade students (XI-XII), registered from September 2015 to August 2019. The objectives of the study are to determine the main variables that have generated major changes in the total number of student places’ architecture and in graduate career choices. Socio-economic causes and educational policies justify the high flow of requests for transfer from this high school to other educational establishments, especially in the first year of training (IXth grade), but also to the school unit under consideration (frequent requests in the XIth grade). Unsustainable education policies, in relation to the requirements and exigencies of sport performance, but also the permissive legislation on operational transfer procedures, have a bearing on sporting performance, graduate career paths and, last but not least, on the ethical code (or it should have it) a sports-program high school. The psycho-intellectual development and psycho-behavioural development of sports students in an accessible school environment, tenderer and adapted to his own needs, can only be achieved through a continuous effort, in conjunction with a joint effort between school-parents-local authorities and institutions with legislative leverage.

development in Ukraine (the 1850s-1917 - the emergence of theory and practice of adult
learning in the context of developing adult education as a form of social and
educational movement and out-of-school education; 1918-1940 - the establishment of
scientific principles of adult learning in the system of illiteracy elimination and
political education; the 1950s-1980s - the scientific elaboration of andragogical
problems in the light of the Soviet concept of adult pedagogy; the 1990s - the early
21st century - the development of andragogy as a science, academic subject, social
practice). The periodization of andragogy development in Ukraine has made it possible to
identify the system-forming processes in adult education at the level of structural and
organizational forms. A historiographical analysis of the problem under study shows that
Ukrainian scholars pay much attention to adult education as a socio-cultural phenomenon
with deep historical traditions and heritage. Despite the growing interest of scholars
in this particular problem, the term “andragogy” is not commonly used in the context of
their research. At the same time, almost all authors are interested in the theory and
practice of adult learning.

The article discusses the theoretical aspects of the organization of blended
foreign language learning caused COVID-19 under the conditions of the quarantine. We
analyzed different points of view on the process of using mobile applications in the
study of foreign languages. We considered the possibilities of four mobile applications
Duolingo, Simpler, Hello Talk, EWA with their main advantages and disadvantages. In the
context of the research topic, conducted a survey of first and fifth-year students, in
which 100 students took part from Karazin and Berdyansk universities. The survey was
conducted among students of philological specialties in order to determine the most
acceptable conditions for using mobile applications in the process of learning foreign
languages. The survey results showed that students, in general, positively perceive the
use of mobile applications in the educational process, taking into account the
possibility of teachers’ support. The study showed the need to use mobile applications
in the process of learning foreign languages in the context of the introduction of
quarantine and blended learning as a forceful way to organize effective work with
students.

The use of methods to objectify the specific activities of athletes in training
and competitions is not a problem studied to its true extent in wrestling. Measuring and
evaluating the predictability components of competitive performance in this sport is
even more important given the fact that in free and Greco-roman wrestling the
elaboration of models has never been easy, due to the unquantifiable performance that
performers have to achieve. Therefore, the issue is the most important field of research
in the current stage in sports wrestling, before becoming an operational tool available
to practitioners. The transformation of these components into figures allows obtaining
results that can define the weight and impact they have in creating training and
competitive models, selection models, planning, control and evaluation of the efficiency
of training methods and especially the establishment of a battery of tests, usually
validated by the method of factor analysis, to support periodic improvements by
assimilating the progress in knowledge. From this point of view, we proposed the
elaboration of the action strategy in order to increase the efficiency and highlight
some components of the specific physical training model, whose materialization at the
level of junior athletes decisively influenced the training activity, as a premise in
obtaining the performance goals. Our experimental approach took place at the Dinamo
Bucharest Sports Club, where the junior sports of the club and the national junior team
trained. The training of the junior wrestlers from the Greco-roman style according to
the parameters of the specific physical training model foreshadowed by us, demonstrated
its efficiency and led to the modeling of the wrestling behavior and performance
compatible with that of high-performance wrestlers.

It is relevant for teachers of science to get visualization skills for explaining
abstract concepts, showing the logic of processes, and explaining the natural phenomena
at the micro and macro levels. For research conducting, authors used theoretical and
empirical methods such as analysis of specialized for physics visualization software;
survey for determining the needs of physics teachers; analysis of the curricula content
for the training of future physics teachers; performing of the pedagogical experiment to
determine the effectiveness of the developed model, statistical evaluation is provided
by using Student's criterion. The developed model of visualization skills formation of
future physics teachers is based on cognitive-visual approaches and provides the
modernization of the content of teachers’ training by including a special course. The
analysis of software that supports the teaching of physics makes it possible to divide
it into three classes: virtual and digital physics laboratories, mathematical and
simulation software, office applications with Smart-Art-objects, and animation software.
Analysis of the visualization studying material needs of physics teachers, based on a
survey, showed the priority of skills in the office suite programs and skills of
creating simulation models (static and dynamic). The introduction of a model of
visualization skills formation of future physics teachers ensures the achievement of the
goal. Further research is directed to the study of the problem of forming future science
teachers' skills to use augmented reality in the educational process.

The improvement of professional military education is the most important part of
reforming state power departments. One of its components is the professional training of
cadets in higher military educational institutions. One of the key places in this
process belongs to the physical training of cadets, which is aimed at forming their
readiness to achieve tasks of professional military training. Therefore, the current
research aims to theoretically justify and experimentally verify the effectiveness of
the programme for professional and personal physical training of future border guards.
Based on the results of the initial survey, two groups of cadets were formed (only 419
individuals). The control group (210 individuals) and the experimental group (209
individuals) included cadets with approximately identical indices of a functional state.
After conducting a pedagogical experiment based on the designed model for increasing
physical readiness of future border guards for professional activity, the proposed
programme for professional and personal physical training of future border guards was
proved to be highly effective. Indeed, 94% of cadets completed the experimental
programme, successfully passed an annual medical examination and met the established
standards of physical training during the covered period of training. A vital index
increased by 10.8%, overall working capacity (based on the results of a step-test) – by
18.7%, maximum voluntary ventilation – by 20.1%, heart rate recovery – by
19.4%.

Published: August 2021

It can be seen that emerging technology has positively affected learning in
several aspects. Recently gamiﬁcation has been implemented noticeably in online learning
and teaching. Gamification has shown its effectiveness in students' integration of the
education process by increasing students' integration with the teaching material and
increasing their competence. Learning and teaching a new language is a complicated and
strenuous process, so learners usually need to be motivated. Gamification can play a
role in further encouraging learners. This study conducted the systematic literature
review methodology to demonstrate gamification in teaching and learning new languages
over the three databases Web of Science, Science Direct, and Scopus. The study includes
103 studies that have been published between 2010-2020. The study finding reveals that
gamiﬁcation can be a useful tool for teaching and learning languages and can increase
learners' motivation and turn to learn into an enjoyable process. It is recommended that
further research be conducted in language education, focusing on gamification in
learning the four primary language skills.

The article presents a theoretical review of relevant sources on the topic in question and, consequently, formulates the basic principles, obstacles and guidelines for developing grammatically correct speech in preschoolers. The article contains the author’s linguodidactic model for developing grammatically correct speech in preschoolers, as well as pedagogical conditions for its implementation: ensuring the interrelation between the perspective trends in learning, speech activity and speech experience of children; developing preschoolers’ grammatical skills using the specially developed methodology; teaching preschoolers the rules of morphology and methods of word-formation in language lessons; applying different effective forms and methods of organizing learning and speech activity for preschoolers. The article proves that the consideration and implementation of these factors have contributed to developing the suggested linguodidactic model for developing grammatically correct speech in preschoolers. It has also allowed one to create and practically implement it within the framework of the quasi-experimental educational process. The article indicates certain noticeable shifts in children with high and sufficient levels in all parts of the language being analyzed. It indicates that mastering the methods of word-formation as a means of enriching vocabulary helps preschoolers to learn the rules of form change and word-formation. Besides, the article has proved the effectiveness of targeted development of grammatically correct speech in preschoolers. The article may be of interest to university teachers and theorists in teaching East Slavic languages as native (at the beginning of their study) or as foreign.

The article traces the role of reflection in teacher education and explores the issue of the necessity of creating a system of developing student teachers reflective skills in the process of their university studies. The importance of reflection in linking theoretical knowledge with teaching and learning practices is emphasized. The model of guided reflection employed at the Department of Foreign Philology at H.S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University is described in detail and examined through different research methods, including qualitative and quantitative analysis of various documents (questionnaires, observation charts, reflective essays etc.) and interviews with participant focus groups. The article presents samples of activities used in pedagogy and methodology classes, and observations of student teachers’ behaviours while performing them. Some information about students’ perception of the model steps is also provided. The collected data prove that student teachers manage to get accustomed to continuous reflection and, thanks to gradual transition from communal reflective activities to pair work and individual assignments as well as constant and sufficient scaffolding, interaction with the ‘knowledgeable other’ feel more confident, are getting aware of the benefits of reflection, and are developing skills of reflective practitioners, which are crucial for their further professional and personal growth.
