COLOUR HAS MEANING VS COLOUR DOESN’T HAVE MEANING (SYMBOLISM OF YELLOW COLOUR IN REPRESENTATION OF SOCIAL MOVEMENTS IN EUROPE)
Authors: Borodulina Nataliya Yur’evna , Makeeva Marina Nikolaevna , Glivenkova Ol’ga Anatol’evna
Published: March 2019

Within the framework of pragmatics, the article considers the features of the symbolic interpretation of yellow colour in relation to social protests in Europe of the XIX-XXI centuries by the material of the Russian, English and French languages. The authors illustrate the appearance of new economic terms based on the symbolism of yellow colour. The change of the association focus is shown in the diachronic aspect. The modern understanding of colour symbolism in protest movements, trade union actions and national revolutions is complemented by the analysis of the intersection of colour symbolism with metaphors, neologisms and phraseological units, axiological assessments of the current social movement in Europe.
PERSONAGES’ RANGE OF READING IN A. S. PUSHKIN’S STORY “THE SQUIRE’S DAUGHTER”
Authors: Soboleva Anna Aleksandrovna
Published: March 2019

The article analyses personages’ range of reading in A. S. Pushkin’s story “The Squire’s Daughter” and clarifies the role of reminiscences in the structure of the personages’ images. Numerous references to other works are considered as the techniques to describe the personages and the ways to disclose the author’s attitude. References to works of different genres and trends characterrize an individual’s life style and worldview. The personages’ reading experience motivates them to wear a mask, and, consequently, initiates a game, which unfolds in a story. Direct references to I. B. Bogdanovich’s and N. M. Karamzin’s works help the reader to understand the author’s intention to depict peoples’ private life, to describe the Russian national character.
“ALL BOYS WRITE POETRY”: CHILDHOOD THEME IN ANATOLY SHTEIGER’S LYRICS
Authors: Khadynskaya Aleksandra Anatol'evna
Published: March 2019

The article considers childhood theme in the lyrical poetry by Anatoly Shteiger, one of the vivid representatives of “Parisian note”. The paper identifies the peculiarities of Shteiger’s poetical worldview associated with “Petersburg poetics”, which the poet adopted due to G. Adamovich’s influence. Childhood theme in Shteiger’s interpretation is associated with the themes of memory, death and nostalgia that is mostly in tune with the general trend of émigré literature of the “first wave”. With Shteiger childhood theme is characterized by anti-pastoral motives representing the author’s reflection on émigré life of the “unnoticed generation”, to which the author referred himself. Interpreting childhood theme through numerous allusions Shteiger reveals the acmeistic orientation of his lyrics that is a typical feature of “Parisian note” poetry.
FRAME IMAGES IN CHARLES DICKENS’S CHRISTMAS STORIES OF THE 1840S
Authors: Goroshkova Renata Rishatovna
Published: March 2019

The article deals with the frame images “window”, “curtain”, “door” / “door step”, which Charles Dickens’s Christmas stories written in the 1840s are full of (“A Christmas Carol in Prose”, “The Chimes”, “The Cricket on the Hearth”, “The Battle of Life” and “The Haunted Man”). The semiotic analysis of the frame structures and their comparison with the same structures from the Gothic literature demonstrate Dickens’s innovation in using these images marking the boundaries between the reality and the miracle. In Dickens’s Christmas cycle of the 1840s, frames are an indicator of the transition to a new stage of the story being told and contribute to the actualization of new meanings that can be derived from the text.
ANCIENT LEGENDS FROM THE ANTHOLOGY “MAN'YŌSHŪ” AND THE EARLY-MEDIEVAL JAPANESE PROSE
Authors: Sadokova Anastasiya Ryurikovna
Published: March 2019

The article deals with the history of borrowing by the early-medieval Japanese literature the plots of ancient legends recorded in the VIII century and included in one of the scrolls of the poetic anthology “Man'yōshū”. By a specific example, the author shows what changes the source text underwent and reveals the main transformations at the plot, stylistic and artistic levels. It is shown how a rather complex literary work consisting of several parts was created on the basis of a simple folklore storyline within the monument of the early-medieval Japanese literature “Yamato Monogatari”. It is noted that this way of borrowing and transforming folk texts can be considered in the context of the process of the national Japanese prose formation.

A Dynamic Optimality Principle for Water Use Strategies Explains Isohydric to Anisohydric Plant Responses to Drought
Authors: Mrad Assaad , Sevanto Sanna , Domec Jean-Christophe , Liu Yanlan , Nakad Mazen , Katul Gabriel
Published: March 2019

Optimality principles that underlie models of stomatal kinetics require identifying and formulating the gain and the costs involved in opening stomata. While the gain has been linked to larger carbon acquisition, there is still debate as to the costs that limit stomatal opening. This work presents an Euler-Lagrange framework that accommodates water use strategy and various costs through the formulation of constraints. The reduction in plant hydraulic conductance due to cavitation is added as a new constraint above and beyond the hydrological balance and analyzed for three different types of whole-plant vulnerability curves. Model results show that differences in vulnerability curves alone lead to relatively iso- and aniso-hydric stomatal behavior. Moreover, this framework explains how the presence of competition (biotic or abiotic) for water alters stomatal response to declining soil water content. This contribution corroborates previous research that predicts that a plant's environment (e.g., competition, soil processes) significantly affects its response to drought and supplies the required mathematical machinery to represent this complexity. The method adopted here disentangles cause and effect of the opening and closure of stomata and complements recent mechanistic models of stomatal response to drought.

Generating Accurate Personalized Predictions of Future Behavior: A Smoking Exemplar
Authors: Fisher Aaron Jason , Soyster Peter D.
Published: March 2019

The present study sought to apply statistical classification methods to idiographic time series data in order to make accurate future predictions of behavior. We recruited 70 individuals who presented as regular smokers; 52 completed experience sampling method (ESM) data collection and provided sufficient time series data. Time stamps from ESM surveys were used to calculate the time of day, day of the week, and continuous time—where the last datum was, in turn, used to calculate 12-hr and 24-hr cycles. Each individual’s time series was split into sequential training and testing sections, so that trained models could be tested on future observations. Prediction models were trained on the first 75% of the individual’s data and tested on the last 25%. Predictions of future behavior were made on a person by person basis. Two prediction algorithms were employed, elastic net regularization and naïve Bayes classification. Sample-wide area under the curve was nearly 80%, with some models demonstrating perfect prediction accuracies. Sensitivity and specificity were between 0.78 and 0.81 across the two approaches. Importantly, prediction models were based on a lagged data structure. Thus, in addition to supporting the prediction accuracy of our models with out-of-sample tests in time-forward data, the models themselves were time-lagged, such that each prediction was for the subsequent measurement. Such a system could be the basis for mobile, just-in-time interventions for substance use, as models that accurately predict future behavior could ostensibly be used for delivering personalized interventions at empirically-indicated moments of need.

Satisfaction ERP Systems: Impact on End-User
Authors: Andreas Andreas , Natariasari Riska
Published: March 2019

ERP systems are integrated information systems that can be applied in both business and non-business organizations. For business organizations it covers the entire functional enterprise that includes accounting and finance, production, sales, purchasing, personnel and other functions. These functions are separated by software modules and interconnected with the integrated data center. Implementation of ERP systems does not always provide satisfaction for end-users. This paper examines the quality of information systems and service that impact on end-user satisfaction, specifically banking companies located in Pekanbaru, Indonesia. Data analysis results reveal that the information systems and service quality partially affect end-users’ satisfaction with ERP systems and thus these findings, remind the designers of ERP systems to improve the quality  information systems and the availability of user friendly service.

Authors: Khoso Abdul Ghaffar , Khan Mansab , Ahmed Saeed
Published: March 2019

Study was carried out on Feeding Preference of Larvae and Adults of Zigzag Beetle on Sucking Insect Pests of Brinjal Under Laboratory Conditions in 2013 at Tando Jam. Observations on feeding preference of Zigzag beetle shows that the highest feeding consumption of first instar larvae of Zigzag beetle were consumed 9.28±1.47aphids/day. Similarly on whiteflies the feeding rate was 7.56±1.05, and on thrips 5.28±0.98. The mean highest consumption of 1st instar was recorded on aphids, and lowest on. Similarly in the second instar larva the mean highest consumption rate during 24 hours was recorded on aphids. 19.21±1.97 / day followed by whiteflies 13.39±2.82/day and thrips 10.36±1.89/day. In case of third instar larvae the maximum feeding rate was recorded on aphids 35.26±2.06/day followed by whiteflies. 23.15±2.45/day and thrips 16.36±3.82/day. The fourth instar larvae of Zigzag beetle was consumed 52.69±3.89aphids/day followed by whiteflies 39.64±3.02/day and thrips 26.85±5.56/day. While the feeding preference rate of both male and female adults of Zigzag beetle also observed. The male adults of Zigzag beetle was 61.17±4.67 aphids/ day. On whiteflies was 42.89±4.12. Similarly on thrips was 32.56±6.26 thrips/ day. The mean aphid consumption by female adults was more on aphids 72.34±5.33 / day followed by whiteflies 47.23±4.93/day and thrips 37.89±7.19/day. The overall data indicated that fourth instar larvae of Zigzag beetle was more voracious feeder of different sucking insect pests of brinjal as compare to 1st, 2nd and 3rd instar larvae and female adults of Zigzag beetle consumed more sucking pests of brinjal than male adults . However, there is no significant difference between both sexes. The data reveals that aphids was most preferred food and thrips was least preferred prey for Zigzag beetle.

Authors: Khatri Keshar Bahadur , Ojha Roshan Babu , Pande Keshab Raj , Khanal Babu Ram
Published: March 2019

A field experiment was conducted in an Inceptisols with sandy loam soil of the research farm of Agriculture and Forestry University, Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal from October 2016 to January 2017 to evaluate the effects of different sources of organic manure in growth and yield of radish. The experiment was carried out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with six treatments (Poultry manure, goat manure, FYM, biogas byproduct, recommended dose of fertilizer and control) and was replicated four times. Pyuthane Red variety (released on 1994) of radish was used as a test crop. After analysis of primary nutrients of the organic manures, the amount was fixed on the basis of recommended nitrogen (100 kg N per hectare) as a reference value. The application of organic manures significantly increased the plant height, number of leaves, leaf breadth, root length, root diameter and biomass yield. The highest biomass yield (75.16 Mg/ha) and highest root yield (49.41 Mg/ha) was obtained from poultry manure application which was similar with recommended rate of fertilizer. The study suggested that application of poultry was found more beneficial and significantly improved growth and yield of radish.

GIS and Remote Sensing Supported Soil Erosion Assessment of Kamala River Watershed, Sindhuli, Nepal
Authors: Sah Kamal , Lamichhane Sushil
Published: March 2019

This study analysed the situation of water-induced soil erosion in Kamala River watershed of Sindhuli, Nepal covering 23,194.33 hectares of land, extending from 85°58'11.6"E to 86°18'16.8"E longitude and 26°56'45.9"N to 27°5'44.4"N latitude. Revised universal soil loss equation was applied in GIS environment using the satellite-based data, field measurements, surveys and lab analysis. R factor predicted from the average annual precipitation. K factor based on the soil texture and organic carbon content. LS factors derived from the DEM of 20m resolution. C factor derived from the NDVI value extracted from Landsat 8 OLI imagery of the pre-monsoon season. P factor assigned according to the land cover of the study area. The study explored the massive diversity of erosion rates even within the narrow span of a landscape in the Churia range of the Himalayan foothills. As predisposed by the diversity of terrain and vegetation cover, and aggravated further by the dominance of silts in the texture of soils, soil erosion rate has been found to vary and noticeably occur in higher ranges of severity. Overall, total potential of soil loss in the watershed was 1.460 million tons/ year, out of which only 0.297 million tons of soil was estimated to be actually eroded from the watershed in the existing conditions. Conservation measures are advisable in the areas having severe soil loss. The resulting soil erosion rate map can be a guideline for developing sustainable land management strategy in the concerned and similar lower foothills of Himalayan mountain landscapes.

Authors: Shaheen Wafa , Gilani Syed Amir , Hasan Zain-ul , Fatima Mehreen , Bacha Raham , Malik Sajid Shaheen
Published: March 2019

The fetal Kidney length can be used in estimation of gestational age. In late 2nd and 3rd trimester both kidneys can be visualized easily and can be measured accurately. In late 2nd and 3rd trimester the fetal kidney length can be used as an investigational tool alone or may be in addition of other parameter in estimation of gestational age. The most commonly used parameters used by sonologist can predict gestational age in 1st and 2nd trimester. But as pregnancy advances, the accuracy of these parameters decreased. The length of fetal kidneys in mm collaborates very nicely with gestational age in weeks

Objective: To evaluate that fetal kidney length is a reliable parameter for gestational age estimation in 2nd and in 3rd trimester of pregnancy.

Methods: 371 healthy, pregnant females with a normal fetus were included in this study. A standard 2nd and 3rd trimester ultrasound examination was done. In addition to the standard biometric parameters, both fetal kidneys length were also measured. The collected data was subjected to statistical analysis.

Results: This study finding confirmed that fetal kidney length can be used as standard parameters alone or in addition with other routine parameters for estimation of gestational age in late 2nd and 3rd trimester. The Pearson correlation coefficient r=0.988 which showed a strong correlation with kidney length and gestational age and p value is (0.00)

Conclusion: Fetal kidney length estimates gestational age as accurate as other standard traditional parameters. It is more accurate in late 2nd & 3rd trimesters of pregnancy when other parameters are not much reliable. It is easy to detect and measure.

Authors: Yadav D. , Yadav D.K. , Yadav R.K.
Published: March 2019

Introduction: Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is an intense and feared problem, difficult to control and has shown a trend of increase worldwide. MDR-TB poses a therapeutic and infection control challenge with significantly higher rates of morbidity and mortality. Hence, this study was conducted with objective to assess prevalence of multidrug resistance and its risk factors among Tuberculosis patients in Kaski district.

Methods: The main component of the study comprised institutional based cross sectional study design which was conducted in directly observed treatment short course (DOTS) centers in Kaski district. The study period was from July 2016 to December 2016. The sample size for the study was 175 participants. Data collection was done through interview with used interview schedule, and review of patient treatment cards. Data were entered in Epidata software and analyzed by using SPSS 20 version software.

Results: The prevalence of multidrug resistance in Kaski district was 5.7 per cent. Variables such as TB history in past, TB treatment in past, and cured in past are found statistically significant (p<0.005). People with prior history of TB were shown to be 19 times more likely to get MDR TB than those with no prior history (OR=19.056, CI: 4.522-80.294). People with complete TB treatment in past were 0.2 times less likely to get MDR TB than those with incomplete TB treatment in past (OR=0.182, CI: 0.075-0.441).

Conclusion: Present of previous TB infection and prior treatment outcome (to be defaulted or failed in treatment) were also identified as the risk factors for developing MDR TB. Proper surveillance system is to be established in terms of complete treatment to all TB patients that leads the prevention from MDRTB and prevent potent expensive costs from medical care for MDRTB patients.

Published: March 2019

Background: As hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment continues to evolve, there is an ongoing need to understand and optimize real-world disease management. The primary objective of the SIMPLE study was to describe the real-life management of genotype 1 (G1) HCV in Canada treated with boceprevir + pegylated interferon and ribavirin therapy. Methods: This was an observational, prospective cohort, multicentre, non-interventional study of patients with G1 HCV. A single cohort of adult patients were to be managed as per standard of care (SoC) and treated with 4 weeks of PegRBV dual therapy, followed by boceprevir + PegRBV for 24–44 weeks, with 24-weeks follow-up. Treatment compliance, health care resource utilization (HCRU), HCV viral load, and hematological adverse event (AE) data were collected. Results: This study enrolled 159 patients. All investigators were well educated on the Canadian consensus guidelines for HCV management but only a minority of patients were treated according to treatment guidelines. Viral response was achieved by >50% of patients by week 8 of therapy and in 50%–60% of tested patients during follow-up. An average of 17.9 HCRU visits were reported during the study period. The most commonly used resources were nursing visits for routine follow-up. Conclusions: Results from this real-world study suggest that most patients were not treated according to the product monograph. Further studies are required to determine how oral treatments fit into this paradigm and how these findings extrapolate to the current treatment model. This study can serve as a benchmark for future real-world treatment including heath care utilization analyses.
Datacubes: A Discrete Global Grid Systems Perspective
Authors: Purss Matthew B.J. , Peterson Perry R. , Strobl Peter , Dow Clinton , Sabeur Zoheir A. , Gibb Robert G. , Ben Jin
Published: March 2019

Datacubes are increasingly being implemented to manage big data workflows efficiently, particularly those for processing geospatial data. However, there is confusion in both the definition of the term “datacube” and the choices for how it is implemented. This and the conventional approach to managing spatial data (i.e., in map-projected data sets) have led to a restricted set of datacube implementations that are each tightly coupled to the spatial constraints of the data and how they are stored on disc – resulting in barriers to interoperability, particularly on global scales. This article discusses options and how it is possible to implement a datacube based on discrete global grid systems, while using the same topologies as conventional datacubes. These provide a flexible spatial data infrastructure that leverages the same topological advantages as conventional geospatial datacubes, while reducing barriers to data interoperability of both raster and vector data and providing additional functionality. Also, they potentially provide a very efficient approach to connecting to big data sources in order to extract datasets on demand prior to proceeding to multi-level intelligent big data processing, mining, machine learning, and visualizations.
Is a Picture Worth a Thousand Words? Evaluating the Design of Instructional Animations in Veterinary Education
Authors: Noyes Julie A. , Carbonneau Kira J. , Gotch Chad M. , Matthew Susan M.
Published: March 2019

Empirical evidence demonstrates that student learning outcomes improve when animations are developed in alignment with the design principles of the cognitive theory of multimedia learning (CTML). The extent to which these principles are used in the design of veterinary instructional animations is unknown. In this study, we reviewed the veterinary education literature for articles that discussed specific veterinary medical animations as learning resources. The 30 referenced animations accessed through this search were analyzed to determine whether they used the CTML’s 11 major design principles. Analysis revealed that the animations most commonly adhered to only 4 principles: coherence, redundancy, modality, and spatial contiguity. The majority of the 11 CTML principles were used in fewer than 40% of the animations. We also examined the alignment between raters’ perceptions of the effectiveness and enjoyment of the animations and adherence to the design principles. Analyses revealed that the animations deemed by raters as most enjoyable and effective did not utilize more design principles than animations they viewed as least enjoyable and effective. The results of this study indicate many missed opportunities to increase learning by developing animated learning resources according to empirically based design principles. Decisions to include specific animations in instruction should be based on whether the resources include elements that have been shown to increase learning rather than subjective perceptions of effectiveness and enjoyment.
Tracking Veterinary Students Who Aspire to Careers in Science
Authors: McGregor Douglas D. , Fraser David R. , Parker John S.L.
Published: March 2019

The Cornell Leadership Program for Veterinary Students is an intensive 10-week learning experience intended to guide competitively selected scholars into careers in science and public health. It features independent research, vocational counseling, and student-directed learning modules. Program scholars are encouraged to objectively evaluate graduate training as preparation for careers promoted by the program. Prominence is given to experiential learning through research, participation in program enrichment modules, and inspirational experiences achieved through group meetings and individual interactions with established scientists. Program alumni are monitored to determine how the careers they pursue relate to their earlier-stated ambitions. In addition, subjective assessments are made of the quality of graduate training and its impact on alumni career paths. The influence of mentors, vocational counseling, and inspirational experiences on subsequent training is also subjectively assessed. Information is obtained from students’ anonymous responses to questionnaires and recorded interviews. Program alumni are contacted annually to determine their current activities and career aspirations. The Leadership Program encourages program graduates to undertake careers in science and public health, yet an unanticipated number of alumni enter private veterinary practice. A factor relevant to that outcome is that many students destined for practice lack a definitive career plan. Persuading veterinary students to consider careers in research or public service is challenging but worth the effort. Critical to that connection is the need for veterinary students to objectively evaluate graduate training options because the vocations they follow appear to be strongly influenced by the experiences they choose.
The Use of Contextualized Standardized Client Simulation to Develop Clinical Reasoning in Final-Year Veterinary Students
Authors: Vinten Claire E.K. , Cobb Kate A. , Mossop Liz H.
Published: March 2019

Clinical reasoning is an important skill for veterinary students to develop before graduation. Simulation has been studied in medical education as a method for developing clinical reasoning in students, but evidence supporting it is limited. This study involved the creation of a contextualized, standardized client simulation session that aimed to improve the clinical reasoning ability and confidence of final-year veterinary students. Sixty-eight participants completed three simulated primary-care consultations, with the client played by an actor and the pet by a healthy animal. Survey data showed that all participants felt that the session improved their clinical decision-making ability. Quantitative clinical reasoning self-assessment, performed using a validated rubric, triangulated this finding, showing an improvement in students’ perception of several components of their clinical reasoning skill level from before the simulation to after it. Blinded researcher analysis of the consultation video recordings found that students showed a significant increase in ability on the history-taking and making-sense-of-data (including formation of a differential diagnosis) components of the assessment rubric. Thirty students took part in focus groups investigating their experience with the simulation. Two themes arose from thematic analysis of these data: variety of reasoning methods and “It’s a different way of thinking.” The latter highlights differences between the decision making students practice during their time in education and the decision making they will use once they are in practice. Our findings suggest that simulation can be used to develop clinical reasoning in veterinary students, and they demonstrate the need for further research in this area.

The article deals with the development of the mobile environmental monitoring system and the peculiarities of algorithm design using aerospace technologies. The authors have proposed the methodology for designing the ecological risk zones based on the ranking methods of ecological indexes with the multi-criteria environmental safety assessment of the ecosystem, based on the use of multispectral characteristics of the space image. The methodology for defining the ecological risk zones has been proposed, which is based on the ranking methods of ecological indexes using one of cluster analysis tools – the hierarchy analysis method.
The proposed approach can be efficiently used to define the ecological risk zones, choose the ways of the ecological rehabilitation of damaged areas and construct the prospective ecologically clean and safe regions. The proposed methodology for synthesizing the ecological risk zone based on the multi-criteria selection has been studied on the example of defining the most dangerous zone after the environmental monitoring.
The article proposes the research and methodological basis, which helps to define the ecological risk zones directly based on the set of ecological indexes and turning the criteria into the complex (scalar) index. The prospective to develop the proposed approach is to improve it so that it could take into account the instability and stochasticity of the ecosystems under consideration. The authors have proposed to assess the risk of threats to the ecological, natural and technogenic safety of the regions. The intensity of emergencies has been statistically estimated in the article. The probabilities of the threatening environmental situation and safety functions of the considered ecological risk zone have been defined.
The approach, considered in this article, will help to improve the efficiency of managerial decisions on ensuring the environmental safety, to find the best compromise between the contradictory quality indexes of system operation, to select and substantiate the priority directions for the development of complex ecosystems.
The article provides the necessary research and practical recommendations for applying the mobile system of aerospace environmental monitoring.

The temporary withdrawal of agricultural land for the construction or overhaul of wells and pipelines laying is, in essence, an interference with the natural soil-forming process, the result of which is a change in the implementation of the ecosystem functions of the soil and, consequently, ecosystem services of the soil.
The article analyses the influence of industrial activity and soils reclamation on the implementation of the supporting ecosystem service of soil. Such indicators as agrophysical, physico-chemical, chemical indices of soil, species composition, trophic structure and the state of the indicator groups of the invertebrates (rainworms, enchitrides, larvae of elaterids), the number of the microorganisms of the main ecofunctional and taxonomic groups (bacteria that absorb organic and mineral nitrogen, actinomycetes, microscopic fungi, oligotrophic bacteria), enzymatic activity and soil toxicity were selected as indicators of anthropogenic change. Four soil samples were taken at each experimental and background site for the reckoning of mesofauna (50×50×30 cm). Thus, 1 m² of land was surveyed on each experimental area. The final evaluation of the soil condition at different points was carried out using the integral index of the biological state of the soil (IIBS).
Following the research of the agro-ecological state of the soil on the territory of two rehabilitated sites of oil and gas production wells local changes in the supporting ecosystem service are defined within the spread of gray forest soil. It is established that the general unfavorable property of background and recultivated soils is high density indices. Unfavorable agrophysical properties determine the differentiation of the parameters of the analyzed indicators of the supporting ecosystem service of soil. The article proves the expediency of using the complex of the most informative biological indicators to assess the quality of reclamation and the state of reclaimed soils.
WATER- POWER RESOURCES OF A MOUNTAIN RIVER:

Published: March 2019

Rational choice of the location of the water-electro power stations is associated with the availability of information on the distribution of gross power along the river bed. In mountainous conditions, while determining this value, it is advisable to rely on the general principles of the division of the profile of the river bed into the sections of constant slope. This work is the study of the formation of the hydropower potential of the stream in the area of the mountain river. Its purpose is to establish a connection between the hydropower potential and the hydrological as well as morphometric parameters of the river bed.
The article solves the task of finding a model for describing the process of gross power increase during the downstream water flow at the section with the inflow available. The analytical relations between the gross potential power value and the generally accepted parameters of the water flow (flow volume and bed profile) are established. With an inflow available, the distance between the location of the inflow mouth and the beginning of the section as well as inflow width are also taken into consideration. A linear approximation is used to describe the slope of a section. The functional dependence of power on the flow volume, on the difference in the heights of the bed within the section, on inflow volume and on the height mark of its mouth, on the position of the inflow mouth relative to the beginning of the section is substantiated. The article establishes the correlations that give the possibility to determine of the power distribution along the section.
The authors suggest the model and the method of calculating the gross potential power of the water flow on the section of the river bed for a case when the inflow is available. The basis of the methodology is the description of the flow volume growth in the bed downstream the river. This description is combined with linear and reverse trigonometric functions.
The distribution of gross potential capacity at the section of the Bukovyna Carpathians – the Siret River is calculated. The correlation of both exact analytical and approximate solutions is used. The paper shows the practical identity in the values of the power of the flow, obtained on their basis. The authors made a conclusion about the adequacy of the received distribution of the physical model of downstream power increase, both above and below the inflow entry point.
The practical value of the approach to determining the potential gross flow capacity of water lies in its heuristic component.

The National Ecological Center of Ukraine examined the effectiveness of the implementation of the Law of Ukraine “On Environmental Impact Assessment” (dated May 23, 2017 No. 2059-VII) and the by-laws adopted for its implementation. Based on the study, some shortcomings of the Law were named and discussed as wee as ways for their elimination were established. It was shown that a number of articles of the Law should be clarified, and the title of the Law needs compliance with its scope, terminology, and the lists of activities subject to impact assessment. There is also a need to clarify the division of powers and to adopt regulations on organizational support for conducting an environmental impact assessment and public discussion. There is an urgent need to further refine and harmonize the regulatory and methodological framework of the Law with European environmental legislation, in particular, environmental quality standards and relevant methodologies for their definition. Since no provisions have so far been adopted on expert commissions for environmental impact assessment, and the territorial environmental protection authorities are still subject to regional administrations, there is a real threat that the latter can exert pressure to get a customized conclusion. It was noted that there is no relevant procedure for selecting experts of professional and qualitative environmental impact assessment; there is also no mechanism for adding the public to the formation of the register and selection of experts, and financial issues are not fully resolved either. It was highlighted: the main directions for improving environmental impact assessment and organizing the Law revision. Several other urgencies were indicated: to accelerate the modernization of state building norms and other regulations; to withdraw territorial environmental protection departments from the subordination of regional state administrations; to provide a transparent procedure for the appointment of members to the expert commissions, to urgently review environmental indicators, classifications, norms, limits and other restrictive requirements and harmonize them to European standards.

The purpose of the work is to characterize the organization of adult education in Hungary and Denmark. It has been found that in Hungary adult education is being conducted to ensure literacy in accordance with market requirements and economic development of the country. The Hungarian Association for Adult Learning has been set up in Hungary, which plays an important role in professional supervision and job satisfaction, as well as in the development of vocational training legislation. The country is characterized by decentralization of education management of unoccupied citizens. On the basis of the concept: the state system of vocational training, retraining and retraining of the unemployed population; the concept of adult education in the EU countries programs for the adult population. Higher education in Hungary is represented by more than 20 educational institutions: universities and institutes (colleges). Denmark's adult education system is an extensive network of private, community, municipal and state organizations and institutions offering a wide range of informal and formal, professional and non-professional education programs that are governed by relevant legislation. The Danish adult education task is to support world trends that promote the nation's prosperity: the development of innovative processes and the improvement of the quality of education; increasing the flexibility and responsibility of schools to adult students. The adult education in Denmark, funded by the state, can be divided into three components: liberal (Free) adult education (popular higher schools, home economics schools, evening schools, day schools); general education of adults (adult education centers, language centers, evening high schools of secondary education); professionally oriented education and adult education (labor training center, production schools, vocational schools, social and medical schools, etc.). A system of grants (scholarships) was created to support gifted students. Some universities and other institutions of higher education provide their own scholarships. Much attention in the country is paid to the education of adults, which is carried out in the form of general secondary schools courses, vocational training courses. The state's care of providing all kinds of services in the education system of the adult population contributes to Denmark's high achievements in economic development. Higher education establishments of this country give an opportunity to get not only education but also knowledge that will be useful not only for the graduate but also for the whole country. Key words: adult education, Hungary, Denmark, Association of adult education enterprises, non-formal education, formal education, vocational education, non-vocational education.
