Authors: Ponomarenko Tetiana
Published: May 2020

The phenomenon of teacher leadership has been investigated over the past few decades. The purpose of the current paper is to explore the phenomenon of teacher leadership through investigation of lifeworld experience of Lithuanian in-service teachers in terms of eight lifeworld experience fractions: selfhood, sociality, embodiment, temporality, spatiality, project, discourse and moodedness. The focus group interview method was applied in order to explore the opinions and experiences of teachers. In total, 5 focus group interviews with 12 teachers were conducted. The research results indicate that the fractions of selfhood, moodedness and sociality are the most salient for Lithuanian teachers. The interpersonal nature of teacher leadership, the need of social persuasion and capability to sustain a successful interaction with students are discussed.

Authors: Geske Andrejs , Ozola Antra
Published: May 2020

Scientific studies have proved that a family has a high impact on the students’ academic achievement, including their reading literacy. This paper focuses on the parents’ undertaken activities for promoting the development of child’s reading literacy at the preschool age (reading together, singing, discussing the read text with a child, playing together, etc.) to explore the impact of these activities upon the reading literacy achievement of students in Grade 4. The research problem addresses the following questions: whether and to what extent the parents’ undertaken activities for promoting the development of child’s reading literacy at the preschool age have an impact on students’ reading skills at the end of their fourth school year.The analysis is based on the research results from students’ tests, students’ and parents’ questionnaires of the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) 2016, organised by the International Association for Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). The impact of parents’ activities carried out together with their preschool aged children was studied performing a linear regression analysis along with a frequency and correlation analysis.A higher reading achievement was demonstrated by those fourth graders whose parents were actively involved in reading promotion activities. Although one determining activity could not be stated, reading together and storytelling were found to be significant. Parents’ education correlated positively with the frequency of their undertaken reading promotion activities; thus, the parents’ education was approved to have a multifaceted impact on a child’s reading achievement.

The aim of the study is to examine the reflection of the processes of formation of musicality, musical hearing and vocal skills in methodological materials published in Latvia. The aim of the study is to analyse the existing methodological materials from 21st century that deal with the development of children’s musical hearing as described by various authors. The study focuses on the primary school age, pre-mutation period children who, in addition to general education, are learning singing in vocational or interest education during individual or group lessons (ensembles and choirs). The research method used is the selection and summarization of opinions and recommendations of teachers of music subject, singing teachers and conductors in the work with children – soloists and choir singers, who are gaining their first skills in singing and intonative hearing, as described in various literature sources. The results of the study show that all of the examined materials conceptually coincide, but often different terminology and explanation of techniques is used, which does not always reveal the nature of each expression and technique, thus preventing the theoretically expressed knowledge from being put into practice. Many explanations are based on the empirical work by the authors of the source. There is a lack of methodological techniques that are based on scientifically proven facts.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONCEPT OF "FAMILY" IN THE MODERN SOCIETY
Authors: Rozentale Lidija
Published: May 2020

There is a continuous debate in the public space on the need for a legal framework for the partnership institute to ensure equal legal security for the family, regardless of the existence or non-existence of the legal fact of its foundation. The fundamental aspects of the debate include the insufficient regulatory framework and vulnerability of partners before the law, divergent national views on partnerships as a union between opposite-sex partners, religious beliefs condemning non-marital relationships, including the existing property issues in the context of partnerships. According to the Author of the Paper, the existing partnerships in Latvia are discriminated in favour for the marriage due to the moral views and legal aspects, as the individual living in the partnership is restricted in terms of access to information and is vulnerable in terms of property rights. For example, when an individual lives in the partnership, he or she is denied the right to be informed about the health status of the other partner and the existing liabilities in credit institutions. In cohabitation, the individual is not recognised as a member of the family of the tenant for the purpose of the Law on Residential Tenancy and the potential consequences of the partnership may be the denied right to inheritance or tenancy.Main methods used: sociological method for analysing the compliance of laws and regulations with public interests and aims.
FUZZY LOGIC LEARNING METHODS IN STUDENT EDUCATION
Authors: Grabusts Peter
Published: May 2020

There is a rapidly growing interest in Artificial Intelligence applications in various modern areas. Students are very interested in modern data mining methods such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic and clustering. Teaching experience in study work shows that students perceive graphical information better than analytical relationships during learning process. Many training courses operate with models that were previously only available in mathematics disciplines. The solution would be to use the Matlab package to implement different models in Artificial Intelligence areas. Often, an analytical solution or simulation model is much simpler than a visual Matlab model, but it provides an insight into the usefulness of using such models for prospective training purposes. In previous articles, the author has provided examples of how Matlab's capabilities can be used in economic studies, artificial neural networks, and clustering. Fuzzy logic methods are often undeservedly forgotten, although the implementation of their algorithms is relatively simple and can be implemented even for students. In the research part of the study the modelling capabilities in data mining studies are demonstrated with fuzzy logic algorithms and real examples.

Published: May 2020

The purpose of this article is to provide recommendations for social workers and social field practitioners of state and non-governmental organizations working with families affected by HIV/AIDS. The article identifies a series of crisis stages of families affected by HIV/AIDS. Families caring for HIV-positive children go through four crisis stages. The first stage comes after the report about an unconfirmed possibility that a child has HIV. The second stage is when the diagnosis confirms the child’s HIV positive status. The third stage coincides with the first signs of opportunistic infections in the child. The fourth stage is associated with the progression of the disease and the development of the fourth clinical stage of HIV infection. At each of these stages, families need medical, psychological, and social support. In line with professional support, an effective method of assistance and a way to overcome a crisis can be self-help groups, in which people learn to voice their difficulties and problems, seek support or provide it to other families. Using the results of the study gained through focus groups with social work practitioners from various regions of Ukraine, the authors developed recommendations on supporting families affected by HIV/AIDS.

Published: May 2020

The idea of Paralympic movement is rather new for the Chinese society, though this country started its taking part in Paralympic games` history in 1984. Traditionally the Chinese society was wary of people with physical disabilities seeing external flaws as a sign of personal inferiority and punishment of gods. The pure Chinese concept of talentness having as the basic tenet "there are no talented, there are those who are not very hardworking", also for a long time limited people with special needs in accessing sport events of a high (and even local) level. The idea of the article is to show the efforts of modern Chinese society in balance search between trends of Paralympic movement and Chinese traditional socio-psychological attitudes as to people with special needs. Such methods as interviewing, questioning, statistical data and official documents` analysis, analytic compilation were used. The following theoretical results were gained: as the Paralympic movement is not very strong in China due to its novelty, for today Paralympic athletes make up a small, almost closed group of Chinese athletes, where the criterion of talentness in a particular sport is leveled by the physical abilities and hardworking of each athlete in particular.

Published: May 2020

The research question of this paper is - How can we better help professors with developing course descriptions and how we can help study program directors to reach study program aims through learning outcomes? This issue is very common for all Latvian higher education institutions as well as other higher education institutions outside of Latvia. It became clear after reading the new changes of the Law of Higher Education of the Republic of Latvia that two major changes had to be made first in course descriptions: updating the course descriptions to the new requirements and creating a mapping of the study programs. The decision was made to start work on a Course Management System. The goal purpose was to create a Course Management System that will help professors with developing course descriptions and will help study program directors to reach study program aims through learning outcomes. At first together with students the authors did a detailed analysis of the system and then developed it. Now the system is ready for implementation. Thanks to the developed system at Ventspils University of Applied Sciences has solved several important issues related to the course descriptions. For study programme learning outcome alignment with study course learning outcome will be used matrix method.

CLIL AND GLOBAL EDUCATION: A MEANINGFUL MATCH
Authors: Strakova Zuzana
Published: May 2020

Education for future necessarily embraces multiple skills and themes which are transversal and applicable across the curriculum content. Students need to see and understand the content of individual subjects as connected and not as a discrete entity. CLIL as an approach which focuses on integration of meaningful context into a language learning classroom has been tested over the last decades and demonstrates that communication does not necessarily need to be limited to vocabulary and grammar practice. On the contrary as one of the global skills communication supports social interaction in problem solving, collaboration and thus is the key skill in achieving target goals. This study focuses on the readiness to implement the global skills within the CLIL approach among trainees in their last year of teacher training in Slovakia in 2019. The questionnaires and the subsequent interviews reveal that future language teachers still seem to prefer focusing on pure language aims to integrating global skills development and they even lack the confidence in application of transversal themes and skills. Even though there is a clear understanding of the importance of integration of global skills into education in general the lack of their own experience seems to determine their attitude towards them. These results identify the space for modification in the teacher training curriculum; however, it requires a wider cooperation within different subjects.
LINGUISTIC AND EXTRALINGUISTIC ASPECTS OF STUDYING ENGLISH ANTHROPONYMS IN ACADEMIC DISCOURSE
Authors: Katermina Veronika , Solovyeva Natalia
Published: May 2020

The article is devoted to the linguistic and extralinguistic factors while teaching anthroponyms in academic discourse. Being an important element of language and culture they play a crucial role in the process of mastering a foreign language, i.e. contain information about the national and cultural features of a particular ethnic group. Academic discourse refers to the ways of thinking and use of the language in special communicative situations. Its significance lies in the fact that complex social activities like educating students, demonstrating learning, disseminating ideas and constructing knowledge, rely on language to accomplish.Teaching a foreign language is considered in the educational process not only as an instrument of communication and cognition, but also as a way by which a student penetrates the cultural field and mentality of a particular nation. Knowing someone else’s culture and mentality is valuable in two ways. On the one hand, it is associated with the enrichment of the picture of the world, the formation of a dialogical attitude to the phenomena of a different way of life, a different way of consciousness, a different hierarchy of values. On the other hand, one who knows a foreign culture comprehends his own better and deeper, more aware of himself as its bearer.

Authors: Ahrens Andreas , Zascerinska Jelena
Published: May 2020

By 2050 the flow of climate immigrants is repeatedly predicted to be about 200 million. Immigrants’ employment in a host country has become a hot issue. To empower immigrants’ employability, structural features, e.g. adult education, can assist with providing a proper training to immigrants. The aim of the present paper is to carry out an empirical study on immigrants’ use of language for professional purposes in a host country underpinning elaboration of implications for adult education. The empirical study was carried out at Klaipeda University, Klaipeda, Lithuania, on the 24th October 2019. Focus interview served as the basis for data collection. Theoretical analysis results in the establishment of inter-connections between immigrants’ use of mother tongue, foreign language as well as host country’s language at work in a host country. The conclusion is drawn that the majority of immigrants uses their mother tongues at work in a host country. The empirical study reveals that local companies employ immigrants for establishing business connections between the immigrants’ host country as well as immigrants’ origin country. The paper’s novel contribution is the newly formulated implications on immigrants’ use of language for professional purposes for adult education. Directions of future work are proposed.

The aim of the paper was to analyze the quality of life (QL) of Iraqi children and adolescents, and identify which aspects of functioning had the greatest impact on the overall assessment of the well-being in this population group. Participants were healthy children aged 5–18 years (n=150, 50% females) who studied in Baghdad schools. QL was assessed using PedsQL questionnaire by four scales – physical (PF), emotional (EF), social (SF), and school functioning (SchF). Samples were compared using the Kruskal–Wallis test. An exploratory factor analysis was performed to understand the structure of QL. The QL of Iraqi children was moderate. The highest level of PF, SF, and SchF had persons aged 13–18 years (p<0.05). Females had a higher level of QL (p<0.05), regardless of age. It was established that the data was convenient for factor analysis (KMO=0.753, χ2=110.047; p=0.000). The results showed that the varimax method presents the best fit. Factor analysis supported the 2-component model that explained 73.86% of the total variance.

Published: May 2020

In the present days, we encounter and can observe a widespread distribution of physical, moral and psychological crisis among the citizens of Ukraine. The most inclined to undergo and experience distress group of the population is higher educational institutions’ youth. Based on the data we have collected and carefully analyzed, we have discovered that regular exposure of a person to physical activity helps maintain the levels of distress and influence of other negatively oriented emotional states to their minimums whereas the physical activity positively impacts emotional health, especially in regard to student youth. Accordingly, our research is dedicated and conducted to investigate and assess how emotional health of Ukrainian students correlates with different levels of physical activity they experience. In order to complete the study, we asked a few female students that indeed take physical training (PT) classes at their universities, precisely, 48, to take part in our investigation. The participants were at the particular stages of their Bachelor’s program progression (from Freshmen to Senior Year students) at the moment of the study being conducted. We attempt to measure and assess the indices that constitute emotional health which we defined as a) mood, b) well-being, c) overall activity, and d) anxiety. Additionally, we determine the levels of physical activity of each student. Based on the evidence we have collected, the students evaluated their moods in the range of 56 10,0 points (high evaluation marks), their well-beings in the range of 5110,7 points (high evaluation marks), and the levels of their overall activity in the range of 439,5 points (average evaluation marks). Altogether, the vast majority of the participants marked their levels of trait and state anxieties as 473,9 points and 483,7 points, accordingly, that we define as high. On the other hand, we have discovered that most participants have low physical activity index that constitute into the value of 31. On the contrary, the ones whose physical activity is higher have stated that their state anxiety is lower — 46,33,4 points, — compared to those who involve into average and low exposure to physical activity — 47,23,5 points and 47,64,3 points, respectively. The potential of future studies of emotional health are highly dependent upon researches into emotions that students experience, how well students recognize, distinguish, and live through their feelings, as well as into the abilities of students to adapt to alternate vital circumstances.

Published: May 2020

This article presents findings of the study of public health care professionals' attitude toward the specific competencies in adolescent health care and competency development needs. The study is based on the assumption that adolescents are specific receivers of services provided by public health care professionals; the services, therefore, should be provided with due regard to age, developmental, interpersonal, community, organisational, structural, and other intrinsic factors in terms of adolescents. When counselling adolescents, public health care professionals should be proficient in the following domains: communication style, consultation structure, policies and procedures, involvement of parents/guardians in an adolescent health care process, etc. Proficiency in the above domains requires specific competencies in adolescent health care. An analysis of public health care professionals’ attitude, in view of their existing competencies in adolescent health care, might help to respond more comprehensively the following problematic questions: Why are adolescents to be considered unique clients of services provided by public health care professionals? What do competencies in adolescent health care consist of? What are the needs for competencies of public health care professionals in adolescent health care and development thereof? Thus, this article is aimed to reflect an attitude of public health care professionals toward the specific competencies in adolescent health care and competency development needs. The article consists of an introduction and two parts: the first part provides theoretical assumptions; the second part is dedicated to an empirical analysis of an attitude of public health care professionals toward the specific competencies in adolescent health care, a content thereof, and competency development needs in view of existing competencies in adolescent health care. The article ends with a discussion and conclusions, followed by references.

THE PRIORITY OF VALUE-SEMANTIC ORIENTATIONS IN HIGHLY QUALIFIED ATHLETES
Authors: Liashenko Valentina , Omelchenko Tatyana , Gatsko Elena , Gnutova Natalya
Published: May 2020

A stable structure of life values is one of the components of success in sports. When defining the value of value as a category of psychology, based on data from many authors, we denote that it reveals value as a concept used in philosophy and sociology to designate objects and phenomena that are significant in the life of society, social groups and individuals. Athletes who have achieved high results are dominated by such life values as “spiritual satisfaction” (74%) and “achievements” (61%). Since “spiritual satisfaction” is a moral value, it becomes obvious that it is moral values that motivate athletes to achieve high results. According to the results of multiple regression of terminal values in the total sample of athletes (n = 118, p <0.05), we observe that the “achievement” of qualified athletes is most affected by “spiritual satisfaction”. In second place in terms of contribution to the formation of “achievement” value is “own prestige”, and in third place is “financial standing”. The value hierarchy of athletes also contains such a value as “self-development”, which indicates the athlete’s desire to work on himself, his character, the development of necessary abilities and other subjectively important characteristics of his personality.

EXPRESSIVE THERAPIES CONTINUUM-INFORMED EVALUATION OF THREE RESOURCE-ORIENTED RECEPTIVE AND ACTIVE MUSIC THERAPY TECHNIQUES IN CANCER PATIENTS IN PSYCHOSOCIAL REHABILITATION PROGRAMME
Authors: Duhovska Jana , Millere Inga
Published: May 2020

Expressive Therapies Continuum (ETC), a model posed by Lusebrink and widely used in arts therapies, stipulates that human being is perceiving the world and processing the information in three modes – motion (kinesthetic-sensory perception), emotion (perceptual-emotional perception) and thought (cognitive-symbolic perception), and that optimally functioning person can freely function in all the modes, can slide between the poles of each of the mode and can integrate the elements from various modes and poles. And vice versa - difficulty or inability to function or being stuck in certain modes, can indicate to malfunction and even psychopathology. If that is the case - purposeful integration of various functions by offering expressive activity promoting utilisation of various functions of the ETC, can promote the optimal functioning. In order to find out the capacity of the three resource-based music therapy activities – 1) receptive music therapy activity, 2) semi-structured musical improvisation, 3) song-writing activity - to stimulate the utilisation of specific levels and polarities of the ETC, participants (n=24 cancer patients participating in the psychosocial rehabilitation programme) were asked to assess the elements of the ETC they applied while executing each of the activities. Results of the study show that during the receptive music therapy activity participants mostly used the affective, symbolic and sensory function, during the song-writing activity the mostly used all ETC functions except for sensory, but musical improvisation provoked application of all the ETC functions, and therefore turned out as ultimate activity, capable of integrating all the modes of perception and information processing.

RDTD: A Tool for Detecting Internet Routing Disruptions at AS-Level
Authors: Al-Musawi Bahaa , Hassan Mohammed , Alturfi Sabah
Published: May 2020

Anomalous events such as link failure, misconfiguration, and Denial of Service attacks can affect the Internet inter-domain routing protocol. This effect can range from small to large-scale impact. While large-scale events can be detected using one or multiple global monitoring points, small-scale events need monitoring at the Autonomous System (AS) level. This paper presents a Real-time Detection Tool for Internet routing protocol Disruptions (RDTD) at AS-level. RDTD is a black-box statistical approach that detects disruptions based on observing changes in the underlying behaviour of a series of inter-domain routing updates rather than information contained in inter-domain routing updates. The RDTD can be connected to a designated AS to detect disruptions at that AS or to one of the collectors at public vantage points to detect the Internet routing disruptions from the public vantage-point’s view. The evaluation of the detection tool has been made through replaying route traffic related to one of the most well-known events within a controlled testbed. Our evaluation shows the ability of the detection tool to detect route leak in near real-time without requiring a long history of data. RDTD can also detect hidden anomalous behaviour in the underlying traffic that may pass without detection.

O estudo está corroborado por uma abordagem qualitativa e explicativa mediante documentação indireta e bibliográfica. Os achados desse estudo referiram que o PBF foi responsável pela redução da desigualdade de renda, como também pela diminuição na desigualdade entre Estados e regiões do país. Constatou-se que impulsionou a diminuição na taxa de extrema pobreza entre 2001 e 2011, o aumento da seguridade alimentar e nutricional entre 2008 e 2012, bem como uma expansão no acesso à educação. Desse modo, o PBF satisfaz seu propósito em superar a pobreza e a desigualdade social, contribuindo para a emancipação dos seus beneficiários mediante a garantia de acesso mínimo aos direitos sociais. Logo, o PBF constitui-se relevante para o desenvolvimento brasileiro, pois a vertente social não deve se distanciar da seara econômica para a concretização de um desenvolvimento pleno, almejando a melhoria das condições de vida do país sem distinções regionais e de suas instituições.

O Ensino Médio Integral é uma realidade no estado de Pernambuco. Oriundo inicialmente de um projeto piloto no ano de 2004, tornou-se, em 2008, o Programa de Educação Integral, vinculado à Secretaria de Educação do Estado de Pernambuco. O objetivo geral deste trabalho visa avaliar o Programa de Educação Integral implantado em uma Instituição de Ensino pública estadual pernambucana sob a perspectiva dos docentes. Quanto aos objetivos específicos, buscou-se descrever, dentro da percepção dos professores, qual a importância do ensino integral na formação do educando, como se deu o processo de escolha da Escola A, como uma instituição de Ensino Médio integral situada no município de Olinda, como foi o processo de implantação e as dificuldades encontradas, quais os benefícios encontrados após a sua implantação e quais mudanças seriam necessárias para a permanência do programa em funcionamento. O referencial teórico utilizado baseou-se na avaliação de políticas e programas públicos. O instrumento metodológico, quanto à finalidade, foi a pesquisa aplicada. Quanto aos procedimentos, versa a pesquisa de avaliação ex-post facto. O instrumento de coleta de dados adotado foi a entrevista semiestruturada. Os resultados encontrados convergem para um resgate da autoestima dos estudantes e professores quanto aos valores defendidos pela educação integral, como também novos investimentos em infraestrutura física, recursos pedagógicos e humanos.

A pesquisa utilizou de instrumentos validados como o Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) de Bass e Avolio (1995), que avalia estilos de liderança; e a Escala de Satisfação no Trabalho (EST), construída e validada no Brasil por Siqueira (1995), que avalia a satisfação no trabalho. Os resultados revelaram que o estilo de liderança predominante da organização é o transformacional, entretanto, o estilo de liderança transacional também é muito adotado pelos líderes. Já o estilo de liderança laissez-faire é pouco apontado como percebido. Revelaram ainda que os funcionários se encontram satisfeitos com o trabalho. Além disso, constatou-se que existe uma relação positiva entre os estilos de liderança e a satisfação no trabalho, tendo em vista que a correlação entre essas variáveis foi de 0,238.

O presente estudo buscou verificar qual o nível das boas práticas de Governança Corporativa das Entidades Sem Fins Lucrativos (ESFLs), visto a importância das atividades dessas instituições para a sociedade. Esta pesquisa é de caráter descritiva. Foram analisadas vinte e cinco entidades filantrópicas de todas as regiões do Brasil. Para auxiliar no estudo foi utilizado um Checklist com critérios baseados nos pilares de Governança Corporativa, foi analisado as informações nos sites das instituições do Terceiro Setor. Adicionalmente foi realizado um ranking das entidades para aferir o nível de utilização das práticas de Governança Corporativa por região brasileira. Os resultados evidenciaram que as entidades utilizam alguns dos princípios da Governança Corporativa, porém alguns pilares como prestação de contas precisam ter uma melhora significativa, pelo fato de muitas entidades não divulgam informações socioeconômicas em seus sítios aos interessados. Quanto ao ranking o melhor resultado foi observado na Região Sudeste, enquanto que a Região Centro Oeste obteve um desempenho inferior às demais regiões. Foi diagnosticado que mesmo a Governança Corporativa ser pouco empregada nas entidades filantrópicas, seus princípios tendem a colaborar na melhoria credibilidade, utilização eficiente dos recursos financeiros e aperfeiçoamento da gestão.

O Planejamento tributário é essencial para o controle da tributação paga pelas empresas. Através de um bom gerenciamento da questão tributária, é possível reduzir a tributação sem infringir a legislação. Assim, o objetivo do estudo é verificar, por meio da análise das informações contábeis de duas empresas, a possibilidade de redução de tributos através da alteração da forma de apurar os tributos e pela fusão das empresas. A metodologia utilizada é baseada no estudo de caso, sendo que o mesmo foi realizado em duas indústrias localizadas no sul do país, sendo uma que optou pelo Lucro Presumido e a outra pelo Simples Nacional. No final do estudo, ao comparar a situação atual com a possibilidade da fusão, constatou-se ser desvantajosa a reorganização das empresas. Entretanto, ao considerar a fusão de empresas e escolher entre o Lucro Real e Presumido, a melhor opção pelo cenário previsto foi a tributação pelo Lucro Presumido.
