Authors:   Transbaikal state University, LIGA M.B ,   Transbaikal state University, SHCHETKINA I.A
Published: April 2021

The goal is to substantiate the possibility of using the culture-centered paradigm of education as the basis for the development of education in the era of the fourth industrial revolution, which forms a person with a technocratic mindset, aimed at forming a person not only as a carrier of knowledge, but also as a carrier of values and traditions. Methods. The structural and functional approach was used as the methodological basis of the research, which made it possible to identify the main trends in the development of modern civilization, which actualize the need to form a culture-centered paradigm of education. The use of structural-functional and systemic approaches made it possible to identify the dialectical relationship between education, economy and quality of life. Results. The fourth industrial revolution, based on the digital economy, actualizes the problem of forming a new person. One of the mechanisms for solving this problem is education, the main development trends of which must meet the realities of our time. The main task of education is to prepare a person with creative thinking who has innovative professional competencies - the competencies of the XXI century. In connection with the above-mentioned modern trends, it is necessary to raise the question of the paradigm of education development. Each epoch in the history of mankind creates its own paradigms for the development of education. However, it should be borne in mind that different educational paradigms may exist in the same era, replacing each other. Conclusions. The analysis of existing paradigms allows the authors to prove that the basis of education in the era of the fourth industrial revolution should be a culture-centered paradigm as a reflection of various aspects of human life, which implements its content and functions in the "values-positions-knowledge-skills" scheme.

Authors:   Moscow Business School, FUTIN V.N
Published: April 2021

The objective of the article is to determine the informational and psychological violence (IPV) as a source of negative impact on the results of a specialist's activity and a risk factor for his reputation, life, and health; to assess the degree of protection of the humanitarian from IPV; to justify the feasibility of developing soft skills psychological re-sources using targeted psychological training and socio-psychological training of coping behavior as elective forms of training within the framework of humanitarian education. Applied methods : Analysis of documents that reveal the company's order for humanitarian specialists for the period up to 2030; study of state standards and other regulatory documents and generalization of the current practice of training humanitarians; search in information sources and generalization of the facts of IPV, which make it possible to determine the specifics of tactics and consequences of its use against humanitarians. Results . The possibility to resist IPV with the help of soft skills psychological resources is reasoned; the article summarizes the theoretical and methodological foundations of communication strategies developed in psychology to influence the opponent's mind to change their intentions and actions; identifies patterns of communicative behavior, coping strategies and necessary psychological resources; uses the experience of using socio-psychological pieces of training for the development of communication resources and coping behavior skills; makes proposals for the development of soft skills psychological resources. Conclusion . The article deals with the actual, insufficiently studied, and multidimensional problem of the humanist specialist's vulnerability to IPV. Today, IPV has become a common occurrence, and the humanist specialist increasingly faces it. Countering and protecting against violence is a special type of communication interaction between a specialist in the Humanities and an aggressive interlocutor. It occurs in the conditions of psychological pressure, informational counteraction, hooliganism, threats of violence from the opponent. In the process of communication, it is necessary to convince the opponent to stop violent actions or abandon them. A humanist can successfully solve such problems and maintain their mental health only if they have special super professional skills and develop personal communication resources. It is advisable to train specialists in the Humanities to counter IPV technologies within the framework of special psychological training at social and psychological pieces of training.

Authors:   Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University, SHMELEVA Z.N
Published: April 2021

At the present stage of the development of world civilization, it is problematic to find a field of activity that is not affected to some extent by the consequences of the spread of a new coronavirus infection. The previously unthinkable situation has become a serious and critical test of readiness not only for the world health service, but also for educational institutions at all levels. General education schools, colleges and universities were forced to transform the education process into a new format, experimenting with mass “remote learning”. One can assert that the impact of the pandemic on education, including higher education, has radically changed its foundations. all educational institutions, including universities, found themselves in difficult conditions and were forced to adapt to the current events in a short time, spend significant financial and human resources for accelerated digitalization of education, trying to maintain the quality of education in the current conditions. Educational information and communication technologies, which seemed to be a form of education of the future, also changed their former essence and purpose. Universities were forced to solve many pressing issues in a short time: in what forms to conduct distance learning; what technical means to use for this; how to assess the assimilation of students of the material received; how to conduct final exams, defense of diploma projects, and how to conduct the enrollment for the next academic year. Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University did not stay away from the events. And if in March 2020, the university mainly conducted remote training on the Moodle platform, designed more for independent work of students, then during the second wave, the university successfully conducts distance learning on the modern Zoom platform. The purpose of the article is to show the experience of using the above-mentioned platform in teaching foreign languages, considering its advantages and disadvantages.

Published: April 2021

The objective of the article is to identify specific features of black colour representation in English and Russian media headlines for 2019-2020 at the verbal level of the text. The method of continuous sampling was used to select a number of examples in English and Russian, containing various variations in the functioning of the lexeme “black” in the period from 2019 to 2020. Methods. The research is carried out through the cognitive-discourse analysis of metaphors within the media discourse with the involvement of linguistic, general philological and linguocultural data that contributed to research activities, taking into account the specific features of the social and political realities of the media segments under consideration. The results were interpreted using generalization, descriptive and comparative methods. Conclusions. The analysis of the headlines of the media in this period allows us to assert the frequency and importance of verbalization of black colour in modern media discourse. The English and Russian segments demonstrate various aspects of its functioning. The dominant sphere of realization of black colour is the social context: the formation of groups, protest movements, the fight against prejudices, resonant incidents, tragedies, etc. It seems possible to include the similarity of the transmission of unfavourable states, events or shocks according to the “colour + time” scheme and the fixation of race in colour embodiment to the adjacent black verbalization of black colour. Among the differences, one can single out the total dominance of headlines in relation to race in the English-language media in the context of the struggle for rights and confrontation and the presence in this regard of a strong connection with racism through colour.

Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, KALUGINA M.L
Published: April 2021

The article describes the ways of representing Chekhov's Russia as an archetype that exists at the deepest levels of the cultural consciousness of the Russian person. It was revealed that Chekhov and the images he created are present in the works of modern Russian literature as plots and as precedent phenomena - texts, names, statements and situations. Turning to the plots of A.P. Chekhov, the images he created and the image of the writer himself, modern authors demonstrate a creative treatment with them, often transforming the form and content of artistic phenomena created by the writer. This indicates the strength of these phenomena in the cultural space of a modern Russian speaker and their acquisition of archetype properties. It is concluded that the modern writer acutely feels the need to turn to this archetype to express his creative potential, to establish contact with readers, for a more accurate description of characters, situations, and realities of Russian reality.

Published: April 2021

Purpose : To identify similarities and differences in the metaphorical way of formation of English and Russian construction terms, to identify the main lexical-semantic groups of common words that are the main sources of formation of term-metaphors in both languages . Methods . Comparative, descriptive and definitional methods were used to analyze language units and their dictionary definitions, identify similarities and national peculiarities of this method of term-formation. Results . Metaphorical transfer of commonly used concepts to special concepts is one of the sources of replenishment and updating of terminology. Groups of commonly used words and attributes that were used for naming special concepts are highlighted. Cases of using term-metaphors to form new terms using morphological means, word composition, or syntactic method are considered. The semantic relations between term- metaphors in Russian and English terminology are investigated. Conclusions. The article considers one of the ways of semantic term-formation, which is based on comparing the features of a new special concept with the features of an already known original concept, which contributes to the rapid fixation of this new concept in the mind of a specialist. Differences in the formation of term- metaphors should be taken into account when translating special texts.

Published: April 2021

When constructing machine translation systems, an important task is to represent data using graphs, where words act as vertices, and relations between words in a sentence act as edges. One of these tasks at the first stage of the analysis is the classification of words as parts of speech, and at the next stage of the analysis to determine the belonging of words to the sentence members’ classes. The article discusses methods of parsing both on the basis of rules determined in advance by means of traditional object-oriented programming, and on the basis of analysis by means of graph convolutional neural networks with their subsequent training. Online dictionaries act as a thesaurus.

Authors:   Moscow State Linguistic University, SHEMCHUK Y.M
Published: April 2021

Objective of the article: to consider sports neologisms as a means of objectifying the universal in the German language world picture. The introduction provides a definition of sports neologisms. This paper analyzes them based on data from the portal of the German language Institute in Mannheim www.owid.de. The novelty of the research is that for the first time the universal in the German language picture of the world is represented by sports neologisms that have great research potential and practical significance for a wide range of people interested in sports problems. The methodological basis of this research is primarily the cognitive approach as the main one and the semasiological approach as the accompanying one. The relevance of the research is due to the wide spread of sports in all countries of the world, which means the appearance in recent years of works that consider sports lexemes on the material of various languages. Results: the analysis of German sports neologisms showed that the vast majority of lexemes are words of English origin, which indicates the lexical way of combining different cultures. Sports neologisms that have emerged based on existing word-formation models in German or by reinterpreting existing lexemes also do not reflect the national mentality in the nominative system of the native language. Prospects for further study of German sports neologisms in various aspects: typological, metalanguage, and normative are offered.

ACTIONS TO OPTIMIZE RECEIVABLES OF THE ENERGY COMPANY
Authors:   Togliatti State University, SMYSHLYAEVA E.G
Published: April 2021

Today, as well as several years ago, there are still significant problems associated with the optimization of receivables and payables in the power industry. This situation is important for all participants in the competitive domestic energy markets. Indeed, the presence of overdue accounts receivable leads to an unstable working situation in the operating activities of energy companies. The management of accounts receivable and payable as a whole in order to increase its efficiency has been little researched to date. Optimization of accounts receivable and payable can be described as the basis of the organization's cash flow management. Accounts receivable and payable is the main indicator characterizing the economic security of an enterprise. Currently, there is a "time lag" between various energy companies from the moment of receipt of payment documents and the date of their actual payment. Therefore, we can say that accounts payable and receivable reflect all the features of the current system of settlements between companies. The presence of receivables and payables has become characteristic of economic relations in modern economic conditions. This can be taken for granted if the debt obligations are balanced and managed effectively. The financial activity of energy companies is based on a constant circulation of advanced capital, which is used to purchase means of production, organize production and sell products. It is expected that in each cycle of a business transaction, these sums of money in the future should provide profit to the enterprise, and therefore be renewed.

Published: April 2021

Currently, there is more and more research focused on the psychological aspects of teaching mathematics disciplines. At the same time, knowledge in other sciences allows one to learn to draw conclusions about the benefits of genetic factors on academic performance and understanding. The article summarizes the results of recent studies by foreign scientists on this topic. To solve the problem of studying the factors of influence on the understanding of mathematics and factors that influence this, a questionnaire was drawn up. After interviewing students using ANOVA tests, hypotheses about the influence of gender, education level and course of study on students' opinion were tested, and conclusions were drawn. After that, the influence of other indicators on the opinion of students was studied, in particular, self-assessment of their own knowledge in mathematics, the level of their own efforts in the study of mathematics, the knowledge of friends and classmates, assessments of teachers at school and teachers at a university, assessments of parents' understanding of mathematics, assessment of the similarity of understanding in parents and children. As a result, the most determining factors were identified, the main of which was self-assessment of the level of knowledge in mathematics. Based on the identified key factors, using multinomial logistic regression, the probabilities of choosing a particular answer were estimated depending on the three most significant factors. The resulting models were visualized, based on which the final conclusions were drawn. In conclusion, the authors put forward assumptions about the most promising areas of research
A Recommendation System to Predict Missing Adsorption Properties of Nanoporous Materials
Authors: Sturluson Arni , Raza Ali , McConachie Grant D. , Siderius Daniel , Fern Xiaoli , Simon Cory
Published: April 2021

Nanoporous materials (NPMs) selectively adsorb and concentrate gases into their pores, and thus could be used to store, capture, and sense many different gases. Modularly synthesized classes of NPMs, such as covalent organic frameworks (COFs), offer a large number of candidate structures for each adsorption task. A complete NPM-property table, containing measurements of the relevant adsorption properties in the candidate NPMs, would enable the matching of NPMs with adsorption tasks. However, in practice the NPM-property matrix is only partially observed (incomplete); (i) many properties of any given NPM have not been measured and (ii) any given property has not been measured for all NPMs.

The idea in this work is to leverage the observed (NPM, property) values to impute the missing ones. Similarly, commercial recommendation systems impute missing entries in an incomplete item-customer ratings matrix to recommend items to customers. We demonstrate a COF recommendation system to match COFs with adsorption tasks by training a low rank model of an incomplete COF--adsorption-property matrix. A low rank model, trained on the observed (COF, adsorption property) values, provides (i) predictions of the missing (COF, adsorption property) values and (ii) a "map" of COFs, represented as points, wherein COFs with similar (dissimilar) adsorption properties congregate (separate). We find the performance of the COF recommendation system varies for different adsorption tasks and diminishes precipitously when the fraction of missing entries exceeds 60%. The concepts in our COF recommendation system can be applied broadly to many different materials and properties.

Finding sustainable resources has always been a strong research due to the current massive consumption of non-renewable fossil fuels on a global scale. Recently, the transformation of renewable biomass into value-added chemicals has become a crucial alternative to solve this problem. Levulinic acid (LA) and glucose are the most significant biomass-derived compounds and γ-valerolactone (GVL) is considered to be the important intermediate of chemicals and fuels. However, the safety and cost of external hydrogen are the main obstacles for the production of GVL from biomass and its derived chemicals by catalytic transfer hydrogenation process. Herein, we introduce the conversion of LA and glucose-derived LA into GVL without an external hydrogen donor, respectively. One process is the production of GVL from LA in a maximum yield of 99% at relatively mild conditions (150 oC) for 3 h with hydrogen, which is from the decarboxylation reaction of formic acid (FA) in water with Raney Ni. The other process is conversion of glucose into LA and GVL in two steps. More than 50% yield of LA and 67% yield of GVL could be obtained from glucose with 3% HCl solution and Raney Ni.

Rational design of bright near and shortwave infrared (NIR: 700–1000 SWIR: 1000–2000 nm) molecular and nanoscale emitters is a fundamental scientific question with applications ranging from deep tissue imaging to new photonic materials. However, all reported organic chromophores with energy gaps in the SWIR have very low quantum yields. Is this the result of a fundamental limit for the quantum yield of organic chromophores in the SWIR? Here we combine experiment and theory to derive an energy gap quantum yield master equation (EQME), which describes the fundamental limits in SWIR quantum yields for organic chromophores in terms of energy gap laws for radiative and nonradiative decay. We parametrize EQME using experimental data from time-correlated single photon counting in the SWIR acquired using superconducting nanowire single photon detectors operating beyond the bandgap of silicon. Evaluating the photophysics of 21 polymethine NIR/SWIR emissive chromophores, we explain the precipitous decline of past 900 nm as the result of decreased radiative rates and increased nonradiative deactivation via high frequency vibrations as a function of singlet energy gap. From EQME we can compare quantum yields among NIR/SWIR chromophores while accounting for changes in energy gaps. We find that electron donating character on polymethine heterocycles results in improvements of radiative parameters obscured by a simultaneous redshift. We correlate this improvement to changes in transition dipole moments across the chromenylium polymethine family. Finally, understanding energy gap laws reveals quantitative estimates of the effect of deuteration and molecular aggregation as strategies to increase in the SWIR. We experimentally demonstrate that partial deuteration of the chromophore Flav7 results in decreased nonradiative rates and concomitant increases in quantum yield. These insights will enable optimal chromophore designs for SWIR fluorescence.

To anchor in seashore habitats, mussels fabricate adhesive byssus fibers mechanically reinforced by protein-metal coordination mediated via 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) – providing a well-established role model for bio-inspired design of smart metallopolymers and underwater glues. However, currently, the mechanism by which metal ions are integrated as cross-links during byssus formation is completely unknown. Here, we investigated the byssus formation process, combining traditional and advanced methods to identify how and when metals are incorporated into the material. We discovered that mussels concentrate and store iron and vanadium ions in intracellular metal storage particles (MSPs) complexed with previously unknown catechol-based storage molecules. During thread formation, stockpiled secretory vesicles containing concentrated fluid proteins are mixed with MSPs within a complex microfluidic-like network of interconnected channels where they coalesce forming protein-metal bonds within the nascent byssus. These insights are important for bio-inspired materials design, but also from a biological and chemical perspective – the active accumulation and utilization of vanadium is extremely rare in nature.
