ONCE AGAIN ABOUT THE COMMUNICATIVE METHOD
Authors: Kochan Iryna
Published: October 2022

The article deals with the application of the communicative method in the methodology of teaching the Ukrainian language to foreign students. Taking into account the fact that these are already adult students, we show in practice the effective implementation of this method in educational practice. Since communication has various different forms of expression, we can consider it as dialogic, polylogical (group) and mixed variants of meaningful communication in classes built on real life situations in which adults most often find themselves. The means and methods of using this method can be very diverse. This is an imitation of real life, designed to stimulate foreigners to actively “speak”. At the same time, it is very important that the topics are alive, related to the daily life of students, problems that interest them. Training of cognitive processes and psychological readiness of students for the learning process seem to be important. The communicative method applies the main pedagogical principles of the organization of training: the priority of independent work, the principle of joint activity, reliance on experience, individualization, flexibility in the formation of training programs, practical orientation of training, where the teacher acts as an expert, organizer, mentor, consultant, source of knowledge. The main principle is to learn not the form of the language, but the language itself. In the process of studying using the communicative method, foreign language communicative competence is formed in students. They learn communication in the process of communication itself. Accordingly, all exercises and tasks must be communicatively justified. Key words: Ukrainian language as a foreign language, communicative technique, forms, means, principles of organization of the educational process.
UKRAINIAN AS A HERITAGE LANGUAGE IN SCHOOLS OF UKRAINIAN STUDIES ABROAD
Authors: Pikhmanets Christina
Published: October 2022

For a long time, we, the Ukrainian Americans, were hesitant about what instructional methods to use while working with our kids in the Saturday or Sunday Ukrainian school abroad, since we simply couldn’t classify our students by their linguistic abilities. The majority of children that attend Ukrainian schools are not native speakers of Ukrainian since the mainstream language that they use in society is English. They are also not foreigners who learn the language from scratch since they hear and speak Ukrainian at home with their families. Moreover, we cannot disregard their Ukrainian origin and roots, which “deny” teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language.

The translation of the term “heritage language” was introduced by Prof. Oksana Turkevych at one of the language conferences. This term is not unique as we can see different scholars use different definitions, such as home language, ancestral language, or immigrant language [2:1]. Heritage languages in the USA have been studied since the 1990s. Unfortunately, the Ukrainian language is not part of this research, however, the Ukrainian-American community is largely presented. With this being said, this article aims to introduce the research and experience of our colleagues working on heritage languages in the USA. I also want to explain the difference between native, foreign, and heritage language learning; share our school experience of teaching Ukrainian heritage language students in order to not only improve the quality of teaching but also to enable the Ukrainian language to become one of the languages that are being taught and researched in the USA and the world. Key words: Ukrainian as a heritage language, Ukrainian as a foreign language, Ukrainian as a native language, methodology of teaching Ukrainian as a heritage language, authentic materials, sociocultural situation, sociocultural materials, sequential and parallel bilingualism.
LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL ADAPTATION OF THE ARTISTIC TEXT DURING THE STUDY OF UKRAINIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Authors: Shchepanska Khrystyna
Published: October 2022

The peculiarities of the linguistic and cultural adaptation of the artistic text at classes of Ukrainian as a foreign language are analyzed in the article. The concept of linguistic and cultural adaptation is considered in the context of categories of linguistic picture of the world and artistic picture of the world. It can be defined as the readiness of a foreigner to perceive and analyze the background knowledge embedded in the canon of ethnic culture. A language image is defined as a concept that integrates linguistic and artistic world pictures. In the structure of the linguistic picture of the world, it functions as a stereotype, that is, an element of background knowledge that is socially fixed in the people’s consciousness and is a part of the cultural canon. As a unit of the artistic picture of the world, the linguistic image is a means of text creation, or literary modeling of reality, by which we understand the unfolding of a single image associated with a certain emotion, deposited in the author’s mind, a verbal-associative grid that structures and reflects the meaning of the text. In addition to the phonetic, lexical, grammatical and stylistic levels of linguistic and cultural adaptation, one more level is distinguished – the ethnic cultural level, at which the speaker understands the cultural code of the language, successfully operates with key concepts, images of the corresponding linguistic culture. The algorithm of linguistic and cultural adaptation of the artistic text in the process of learning of Ukrainian as a foreign language is defined using the example of the image of heart. Exercises are offered for successful linguistic and cultural adaptation of the artistic text at the classes of Ukrainian as a foreign language. Key words: linguistic and cultural adaptation, artistic text, language image, background knowledge, linguistic picture of the world, artistic picture of the world, linguistic consciousness.

The economic development of the State depends on the work of the able-bodied population. The cardiovascular system is highly reactive and reacts to many harmful production factors: noise, vibration, ionizing radiation, etc. Spastic vascular changes are the precursors of peripheral angiodistonic syndrome, which is part of the symptom complex of vibration disease, and accompanies polyneuropathy from physical overstrain. Detection of the disease at the initial stage of development for the appointment of timely prevention and treatment is the main task of modern medicine. Ultrasound examination, as one of the imaging methods in radiation diagnostics, successfully copes with this problem. The study aims to develop criteria for early diagnosis of occupational pathology of the vessels of the upper extremities in workers of machine-building production. We have examined 126 workers of the machine-building plant using standard clinical and laboratory methods, ultrasound examination of the vessels of the upper extremities and X-ray examination of the hands. The main harmful production factors in the workplace were local and general vibration, the severity of the labor process, noise. The severity of the labor process of at least class 3.1 with a work experience of 21 years contributed to the development of spastic changes in the vessels of the upper extremities in power engineering workers. Patients complained in 25% of cases, although an objective examination by a neurologist revealed no pathological changes characteristic of the pathology of the vascular bed. There were radiological changes in the hands in 83% of the examined workers and manifested as a violation of local circulation: cyst-like rearrangement in the bones of the wrists were in 40% of cases, in the form of periarticular osteopenia - in 70% of cases. The most informative method of early diagnosis of vascular changes in the main arteries of the upper extremities is ultrasound. At the same time, the characteristic signs are an increase in the resistance index with the preservation of speed indicators (recorded in 100% of cases), a violation of venous outflow in 82%, pathological vascular tortuosity in 76%. Ethics. The Local Ethics Committee of the North-Western Scientific Center of Hygiene and Public Health has approved the study, Protocol No. 23.1 of 10/28/2020.
A Delphi Study exploring the barriers to Dyslexia diagnosis and support: A parent’s perspective
Authors: Harding Sophie R , Chauhan-Sims Maya , Oxley Emily , Nash Hannah
Published: October 2022

The Rose Report (Rose, 2009) outlined a set of recommendations for the management of dyslexia in the U.K after a range of issues were found. Despite these recommendations, recent reports, and a review on SEND provision indicates that issues are still prevalent in the process of diagnosis and support for dyslexic children. The Delphi method was employed to gain parental consensus as to the most significant barriers to diagnosis and delivery of support for children with dyslexia, as well as the solutions most important for overcoming these barriers. Parents of primary school children with dyslexia were recruited for the study and were presented with a three round iterative questionnaire surrounding their experience of their child’s dyslexia management. Responses indicated that major issues are still present in the management of dyslexia. Two major overarching issues were identified: the lack of sufficient training for teachers around dyslexia, both initially and from continued professional development, and insufficient funding for dyslexia in schools and local authorities. Overall, the study indicated that better guidance and framework is needed to ensure that reform and spending leads to tangible change in the process of identification and provision of support for children with dyslexia in primary education in the U.K.

Three International Studies on Pure Coordination Games: Adaptable Solutions When Intuitions are Presumed to Vary
Authors: Perez-Zapata Daniel Ivan , Apperly Ian
Published: October 2022

Pure coordination games involve players seeking to converge on identical responses without communication. Previous cognitive science research has focused on the reasoning and common knowledge necessary as the background conditions for coordination, with less attention paid to the challenge of intuiting specific responses on which coordination might be possible. Most existing studies have examined coordination within university student samples from a single country and so the extent of the challenge of coordinating between heterogenous groups of people may have been underestimated. We conducted three empirical studies (two pre-registered) with 520 participants from the UK, South Africa, and Chile, plus a globally distributed sample. Without communicating, participants were asked to coordinate on answers to simple questions such as “name a tourist city”. All groups coordinated at rates far above chance, but often coordinated on different responses. Study 1 showed that participants from one group could nevertheless anticipate the coordination solutions of another group. Studies 2 and 3 showed that participants could coordinate with a partner from a different group, often on answers that were rarely given when coordinating within groups, and whether or not they knew their partner’s country of origin. These findings provide evidence that coordination decisions are variable between groups, and flexible when thinking about different groups, resulting in accurate adaptations to achieve coordination. Where previous work has focussed predominantly on the forms of reasoning that support coordination, the present findings suggest that it is equally important to examine the content of coordination solutions and to understand what processes and what experiences support the flexibility and accuracy of people’s intuitive responses.

Chronic aphasias after left-hemisphere resective surgery
Authors: de Zubicaray Greig Ian , McMahon Katie Louise
Published: October 2022

Background. Surgical resection of brain tumours is associated with an increased risk of aphasia. However, relatively little is known about outcomes in the chronic phase (i.e., > 6 months). The aim of this study was to document the incidence of chronic post-surgical aphasia and characterise the neuroanatomical mechanism(s) responsible for poor outcomes. Methods. 46 patients who underwent surgical resection of a primary left-hemisphere tumour were assessed with the Comprehensive Aphasia Test (CAT) between 6- and 24-months post-surgery (mean 10 months). Using voxel-based lesion symptom mapping (VLSM), we investigated whether chronic language impairments are related to the location of surgical resection, residual tumour characteristics (e.g., progressive infiltration, oedema) or both. Results. Approximately 72% of patients scored below the cut-off for aphasia. Action naming and spoken sentence comprehension deficits were significantly associated with lesions in the left anterior temporal and inferior parietal lobes, respectively. Voxel-wise analyses of white matter disconnection severity revealed significant associations between ventral language pathways and action naming deficits. Reading impairments were also associated with increasing disconnection of cerebellar pathways. No significant results were observable for writing deficits. Only lesions comprising both the resection site and residual tumour characteristics were significantly associated with language impairments. Conclusions. Our findings indicate chronic post-surgical aphasias are common. In addition, the nature of the aphasia reflects a combination of resected tissue and tumour infiltration of language-related white matter tracts, implicating progressive disconnection as the critical mechanism of impairment. This information may prove useful for predicting language outcomes and planning appropriate language therapies following surgery.
Contextual uncertainty determines early attentional orienting in visual selection
Authors: Jungerius Chris , van Moorselaar Dirk , Slagter Heleen A
Published: October 2022

Our attention can be inadvertently captured by irrelevant or distracting stimuli. Past work has shown that knowledge about the search context in which targets and distractors occur, such as where distractors often occur, can greatly reduce attentional capture. In the present study, we set out to show that uncertainty about this context (or contextual variability) is another critical determinant of attentional capture by physically salient distractors. Specifically, in three capture-probe experiments (n=288, n=114, n=114, respectively; experiments 2 and 3 were preregistered), we manipulated singleton distractor location and context uncertainty separately from set size to determine the effect of uncertainty about distractor location and context on attentional capture. We found that rendering the distractor location less variable did not affect attentional capture, as recall of letters at singleton locations remained higher than at non-singleton distractor control locations. However, when contextual uncertainty was reduced, either by keeping parts of the search display fixed across trials or by exposing participants to a restricted set of search configurations, attentional capture disappeared. Our findings support the notion that contextual uncertainty is a critical factor determining whether salient distractors capture attention.

Published: October 2022

La apendicitis aguda es una condición quirúrgica frecuente en la salas de Emergencias, es así que en el año 2015 fue una de las principales causas de ingresos para resolución quirúrgica en el Hospital Provincial Docente Ambato (HPDA). La edad de la población estudiada fue entre 10 a 30 años, con un predominio del sexo femenino en un 52,4% versus 47,6% del sexo masculino, datos que se correlacionan con la literatura. El objetivo de éste estudio fue determinar la concordancia entre el grado de apendicitis con los hallazgos histopatológicos. Se evidenció que el mayor porcentaje 28,35% correspondían a apendicitis grado III, y que casi la cuarta parte 24% de los estudios histopatológicos no correspondían a apendicitis aguda. El 12,5% de los individuos con cuadros clínicos sugestivos de apendicitis fueron subestimados su clínica por lo que retornaron con complicaciones en un segundo momento. Esta situación motivó a realizar una revisión actualizada sobre laimportancia de la valoración semiológica en el diagnóstico de apendicitis aguda. Este diagnóstico debe ser respaldado por exámenes complementarios básicos como el hemograma que orientan un proceso inflamatorio. Finalmente, ante posibles dudas diagnósticas se puede hacer uso de métodos de imagen auxiliares como la ecografía o la tomografía axial computarizada (TAC) que tiene alta sensibilidad para el diagnóstico de un cuadro apendicular confuso o con complicaciones como la peritonitis aguda; situaciones aisladas en donde su apoyo diagnóstico resulta de gran importancia.

Authors: Vaca Pazmiño Carlos , Salazar Andrea
Published: October 2022

Resulta indiscutible la situación que experimentan las madres y padres con el nacimiento de un hijo que presente alguna alteración patológica y que sea ingresado en la sala neonatal. Si a esto se añade la falta de educación e información para entender la patología de su neonato enfermo, los sitúa en un estado de indefensión manifestado por trastornos en su área psico- afectiva y con poca o nula predisposición para colaborar con el personal sanitario en los cuidados de sus hijos. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo demostrar mediante una intervención educativa enmarcada dentro de los lineamientos de la Educación de Personas Adultas cambio de actitud y aptitudes en madres y padres, relacionadascon el cuidado de sus hijos neonatos de riesgo ingresados a la unidad de Neonatología del Hospital Provincial Docente Ambato-Ecuador, durante el periodo marzo-agosto del 2013. La investigación es de carácter cualitativo, longitudinal, se realiza en una muestra final de 58 madres y 13 padres que cumplieron criterios de inclusión. La información es recolectada mediante encuestas aplicadas a los participantes antes y después de la intervención educativa. Los resultados demuestran que se logra en los participantes aprendizajes significativos, fomentan habilidades parentales, impulsa la unidad y bienestar familiar, optimiza la relación médico paciente e incentiva la inclusión de los padres en los cuidados neonatales contribuyendo a humanizar la atención médica.

La transición demográfica por la que atraviesa el Ecuador y la falta de formación de profesionales especializados en Geriatría obliga a fortalecerel conocimiento de la valoración geriátrica integral en todos los profesionales que atienden adultos mayores. El objetivo del trabajofue documentar la importancia de la valoración geriátrica integral en la detección de patologías que podrían tener una repercusión funcional enel adulto mayor; por lo que un diagnóstico oportuno evita complicaciones especialmente a nivel hospitalario. Se presenta el caso de un pacienteadulto mayor de 85 años que ingresa por fractura de cadera al Hospital de Especialidades Eugenio Espejo de la ciudad de Quito. En el cual a través de la valoración geriátrica integral se detectaron factores de riesgo que desencadenaron un Síndrome Confusional Agudo, caracterizado por ser un síndrome geriátrico subdiagnosticado en el ámbito médico y se logró que el paciente se recuperara en forma adecuada. El enfoque de la Valoración Geriátrica Integral es multidimensional y toma en cuenta no solo el área médica, sino también la situación afectiva, cognitiva, funcional, social y espiritual, convirtiéndose en una herramienta clave la atención para la población adulta mayor. El Síndrome Confusional Agudo es muy frecuente en adultos mayores hospitalizados y muchas veces es el debut de una enfermedad con múltiples factores de riesgo desencadenantes. Estos riesgos, en la actualidad no son detectados con una evaluación clínica simple, sino que amerita la realización de una evaluación exhaustiva, con relación a la alta morbimortalidad que presenta este grupo etario.

Phylogeny of feather mites of the subfamily Pterodectinae (Acariformes: Proctophyllodidae) and their host associations with passerines (Passeriformes)
Authors: Mironov S.V.
Published: October 2022

A phylogenetic hypothesis of the feather mite subfamily Pterodectinae Park et Atyeo, 1971 (Astigmata: Proctophyllodidae), currently including 165 species in 19 genera, was constructed by means of the maximum parsimony approach. It is shown that the proctophyllodid mites characterized by the epigynum fused to epimerites in females and by the absence of terminal membranous extensions of the opisthosoma in males that were arranged by previous authors into two subfamilies, Pterodectinae and Rhamphocaulinae, constitute a common phylogenetic branch within Proctophyllodidae. It is proposed to threat this whole branch as the subfamily Pterodectinae. The subfamily Pterodectinae in the new sense consists of two branches, which are treated as the tribes Pterodectini trib. nov. and Rhamphocaulini Park et Atyeo, 1971 stat. nov. The generic contents of these tribes are rearranged comparing to those in Pterodectinae and Rhamphocaulinae of previous authors. A preliminary hypothesis about the origin and dispersion of Pterodectinae on passerine hosts is proposed. It is suggested that this subfamily originated on the ancestors of Passeriformes. The origin and subsequent diversification of two major phylogenetic branches (Pterodectini and Rhamphocaulini) was related with two main taxonomic grouping of avian hosts, passerines and hummingbirds (Apodiformes: Trochilidae), respectively; although on the latter hosts they are of secondary origin. The phylogeny, host associations and geographic distribution of pterodectines predominately associated with passerines generally correspond to the phylogeny and historical biogeography of the order Passeriformes. The current distribution of pterodectines among passerines was realized by cospeciation with their hosts, and also by numerous cases of switching to new host taxa, mainly within Passeriformes, but also to bird of other orders. Nanopterodectes nom. nov. is proposed for the pterodectine genus Nanodectes Mironov in Mironov et al. 2008b (Acariformes: Proctophyllodidae), which was preoccupied (Rentz 1985; Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae); the sole species of this genus gets a new name Nanopterodectes formicivorae (Mironov, 2008) comb. nov.

One of the body's organs, the kidney serves a vital purpose in the excretory and secretory systems. Excretion is the removal of waste products from the body's metabolism, and secretion is the release of chemicals and hormones that are involved in the metabolism of the body. Kidney failure is a condition brought on by kidney damage and is further broken down into acute and chronic forms. Long-lasting kidney damage carries a higher risk to one's health. Hemodialysis is a type of dialysis that helps the kidneys perform their normal functions by removing waste and toxic substances that build up in the blood. This study is analytical observational with a cross-sectional design and a sample of patients with chronic kidney failure at RSUD (Regional Public Hospital) dr. R. Goeteng Taroenadibrata Purbalingga. Non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling method was the sampling technique used. This study compared the urea levels in patients with chronic kidney failure before and after hemodialysis. According to the results of the study, there is a significant difference between urea levels before and after hemodialysis, which had a p-value of 0.003 (sig 0.05).
Current Novel Concept of Carcinogenesis to Combat Oral Cancer
Authors: Bhushan Kritant
Published: October 2022

One of the greatest public health threats around the world is oral cancer. Field cancerization and carcinogenesis are two steps in the multistep and multifocal tobacco-related process of oral cancer development. The rationale for molecularly targeted oral cancer prevention at the molecular level is promising. Aneuploidy and allelic imbalance are two biomarkers of genomic instability that can be used to estimate cancer risk of oral premalignancies. Understanding the biology of oral carcinogenesis can help us make significant advances in pharmacogenomics, cancer risk assessment, identification of high-risk patients, monitoring of preventive measures, and cancer diagnosis in patients. In addition, research on appropriate animal models of carcinogenesis will lead to the development of new chemopreventive drugs against oral malignancies based on molecular signalling pathways and targets. Novel approaches, such as interventions with molecularly targeted agents and drug combinations in high-risk oral patients, are undoubtedly needed to reduce the devastating global consequences of oral malignancy.

A 2003 survey found that smutgrass was second only to tropical soda apple as the most problematic weed species in Florida pastures, but now that practices to control tropical soda apple have been widely adopted in Florida, smutgrass is likely the most problematic weed species in Florida pastures today. This revised 4-page fact sheet was written by Brent Sellers, J. A. Ferrell, and N. Rana, and published by the UF Department of Agronomy, January 2015. (Photo Credit: B. Sellers, UF/IFAS)

Published: October 2022

Brassica carinata is a promising oilseed crop with great potential for profitable cultivation in Florida. Its high oil content and favorable fatty acid profile make it suitable for the biofuel industry, especially as a biojet fuel. The UF/IFAS North Florida Research and Education Center (NFREC) in Quincy, Florida, has been working to identify advanced carinata genotypes that are high yielding (seed and oil), disease resistant, early maturing, and adapted to Florida. The work at NFREC is being done in conjunction with Agrisoma Biosciences Inc., a crop company that has the world’s largest collection of carinata germplasm. This 6-page fact sheet’s “Agronomic Management” section provides recommendations resulting from NFREC’s research. It was written by C. M. Bliss, R. Seepaul, D. L. Wright, J. J. Marois, R. Leon, N. Dufault, S. George, and S. M. Olson, and published by the UF Department of Agronomy, December 2014.

Biochar Effects on Weed Management
Authors: Soni Neeta , Leon Ramon G. , Erickson John E. , Ferrell Jason A.
Published: October 2022

Biochar can potentially provide better conditions in the soil to increase plant growth. However, research has shown that weed species show minimal changes in germination and emergence patterns with the addition of biochar. Regardless, if biochar is used in the field it is important to monitor for changes in weed populations. This is especially important because biochar can decrease herbicide efficacy.

Biology and Management of Eclipta (Eclipta prostrata) in Ornamental Crop Production
Authors: Marble Chris , Steed Shawn , Boyd Nathan S.
Published: October 2022

Eclipta grows aggressively in containers and can outcompete nursery crops for water, nutrients, and light. Plants flower in as little as five weeks after germination and produce thousands of seeds over the course of a growing season, and stem fragments left on the soil or media surface following hand-weeding or cultivation can root and reproduce vegetatively. This 4-page fact sheet describes the plant, its biology, and recommendations for physical, cultural, and chemical control. Written by Chris Marble, Shawn Steed, and Nathan S. Boyd, and published by the UF Department of Environmental Horticulture, January 2015. (Photo: Annette Chandler, UF/IFAS)
