MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGIES USAGE TO OPTIMIZE MOTOR ACTIVITY OF KINDERGARTEN CHILDREN
Authors: Titarenko Svitlana
Published: May 2020

The article analyzes psychological and pedagogical literature on the problem of optimization of the preschool children’s motor activity. It is noted that movements are just as necessary for the normal growth and development of a child as good nutrition. Physical exercise does not only develop and strengthen a child’s body, prevents various diseases, but also is one of the effective means of treating and restoring a child's strength after illness. Based on the analysis of modern scientific and methodological literature, it is found that a considerable part of the studies in the field of physical education is devoted to the creation of recommendations for physical exercises of schoolchildren and other segments of the population on the basis of computer technologies, control systems, assessment and accumulation of information on the physical fitness level and health status. It is established that the use of multimedia technology in the process of carrying out physical and health measures in the institution of preschool education helps to optimize the motor activity of preschool children. The specifics of the multimedia presentations usage in work with preschool children are characterized. It is noted that multimedia technologies allow solving the problem of finding and storing information, planning, controlling and managing physical education, diagnostics of health status and of children’s physical fitness level. The author notes that the presentation can also be used to explain to children the rules of sports games, tactical actions of players, vividly present historical events, biographies of athletes. It is noted that the creation of flash presentations and videos with complexes of developmental exercises is appropriate to use during the morning gymnastics. The use of multimedia educational tools allows to visualize clearly the spatial characteristics of movements, to calculate with high accuracy the kinematic parameters of the motor actions performing technique in the playing activities, which is of particular importance in the development of children’s spatial orientation. It is noted that the priority area in the work of each pre-school educational establishment is to improve the quality of education through the use of innovative technologies in physical education classes, in particular optimization of physical activity. The prospects for further research in this area, the need to use multimedia technologies in the process of preparing future caregivers for the implementation of the tasks in physical education of preschool children in the context of distance education which include the need to find and develop of science-based information and communication technologies in the preschoolers’ physical education are specified.

Перспективы формирования цифровой экономики в России
Authors: Абаева С.К. , Батагов Г.Э.
Published: May 2020

Распространение цифровых технологий в последнее десятилетие, определяющее траектории развития мировой экономики и мирового сообщества, буквально на наших глазах ведет к кардинальным изменениям в жизни людей большей части современного человечества. Становление цифровой экономики – глобальный тренд всех индустриально развитых стран, включая США, Великобританию, Германию, Японию и др. Причем формирование и развитие цифровой экономики рассматривается не в рамках инновационных стратегий отдельных отраслей и компаний, а как глобальная стратегическая повестка стран, претендующих на лидерские позиции в XXI веке.
Определяя перспективы формирования цифровой экономики России, авторами статьи рассматриваются системные проблемы, определяющие рамки развития цифровой экономики. Первая проблема, играющая роль институционального ограничения, состоит в том, что российское государство, если и прислушивается к мнениям авторитетных деятелей науки об императивности ускоренного развития новых технологий, то делает в усеченном, фрагментарном виде. Вторая проблема состоит в том, что у нас декларируется, но не определяется ответственность за не достижение поставленных правительством задач по выполнению целей государственных программ (в данном случае Государственной программы «Цифровая экономика Российской Федерации» [1].
Отсюда необязательность выполнения планов принятых программ в полном объеме, что выражается, в частности, в перманентном изменении объемов финансирования и конечной стоимости государственных программ.
В статье проанализированы причины возникновения этих проблем, оценены возможные позитивные и негативные последствия цифровизации России. Обоснована идея необходимости уточнения стратегии российской цифровизации.

Authors: Seifi Anahita , Motaghi Samira , Soltani Ahmadi Mojtaba , Pletnev Dmitri
Published: May 2020

Today, the tourism industry is one of the most influential industries in the economies of societies, especially in countries seeking a substitute for the export of single-product resources. Having a young population seeking job and great tourism attractions in the region and the world, Iran is in a good place in terms of tourist attraction. Despite the favorable conditions, its status is not favorable in comparison to similar countries. Accordingly, the present study aims to analyze the main determinants of international tourism demand of Iran by examining the current and desirable situation during the period of 1991-2018. Also, it aims to estimate the function of tourism demand in Iran in this time period using the ARDL method.
The results of the present study show that the variables of national income of the origin countries (tourist sender), the volume of trade between Iran and other countries, security, as well as the ratio of consumer price index in Iran to consumer price index in origin countries are the most important determinant indicators of Iran’s international tourism demand in the short and long term, respectively. In addition, the negative elasticity of security and price index and the positive elasticity of national income and trade volume, as well as the positive coefficient of the number of tourists in the previous period indicate the effect of these indicators in this study.
Keywords: Tourism demand, ARDL, demand determinants.
Национальные регионы на линии фронта: политическое положение в Кабардино-Балкарии в августе – октябре 1942 г.
Authors: Апажева Е.Х. , Татаров А.А.
Published: May 2020

Исследование национальных регионов Северного Кавказа в период Великой Отечественной войны связано с дискуссиями о степени лояльности местных народов к власти и о «кризисе доверия» советского Центра. Помимо вопроса о политическом положении на оккупированных немецко-румынскими войсками территориях, интерес вызывает ситуация в советском тылу и прифронтовых зонах. С учетом этнотерриториального принципа устройства СССР Германия рассматривала битву за Кавказ (1942 – 1943 гг.) в значительной степени как политическую кампанию, рассчитанную на рост антисоветских настроений в национальных районах, подконтрольных частям Красной армии. В отечественной и зарубежной историографии получила распространение идея о нелояльности горских народов Северного Кавказа советскому режиму в период Великой Отечественной войны.
Оказавшись разделенной линией фронта на две части в августе – октябре 1942 г., Кабардино-Балкария стала регионом, которому предстояло пережить сложности прифронтового напряжения. В статье рассмотрены аспекты политической конъюнктуры в советской части Кабардино-Балкарии: «кавказский» вопрос в частях Красной армии; политические настроения среди местного населения; проблема продовольственного кризиса; политический фактор использования Германией соединений вермахта, сформированных из военнопленных кавказцев, на линии фронта.
На основе анализа документов и исследований сделан вывод о том, что, несмотря на опасения Москвы и ожидания Германии касательно возникновения антисоветских очагов в советском тылу на Северном Кавказе, население Кабардино-Балкарии сохранило лояльность советскому режиму. На фоне ограничений призыва в армию, проблемы знания русского языка и роста продовольственного кризиса тысячи представителей горских народов, включая кабардинцев и балкарцев, были мобилизованы в армию и вовлечены в оборону советского тыла. Немецкий эксперимент по применению кавказских соединений вермахта в политических целях не принес значимых результатов.
Развитие личности при обучении русскому языку в школе
Authors: Кунавин Б.В.
Published: May 2020

В статье исследуется процесс развития личности при обучении русскому языку в школе с использованием концептной методики. Актуальность статьи обусловлена падением интереса у обучающихся к чтению эталонной литературы, их слабыми языковыми и коммуникативными компетенциями, отсутствием эстетического вкуса, недостаточным развитием нравственных и интеллектуальных качеств. В то же время в существующей педагогической науке отсутствуют эффективные современные технологии решения указанных проблем, в частности, на уроках русского языка, предоставляющих для этого множество возможностей, особенно в аспекте использования когнитивного метода. Научная новизна работы заключается в раскрытии при обучении русскому языку потенциала концептной методики, направленной на развитие познавательных интересов и интеллектуальных способностей у обучающихся, а также на осознание ими самоценности национальной культуры и русского языка. В качестве основных методов исследования использовались методы педагогической науки и методы педагогической деятельности (индукция, дедукция, обобщение и систематизация, когнитивный метод). Комплексное применение указанных методов на уроках русского языка позволило решить проблемы, связанные с языковой репрезентацией культурных концептов и ментальных процессов. Основной результат работы заключается в выводе о том, что применение концептной методики на уроках русского языка служит углублению и расширению знаний о русской культуре, жизни и быте русского народа, его мировоззрении, способствует всестороннему развитию личности. Именно концептная методика обуславливает формирование у обучающихся потребности в самосовершенствовании и самоизменении, способствует развитию наблюдательности, воображения, эстетического вкуса, а усвоение концептов культуры, формирует у них любовь к языку, природе, людям. Важно то, что когнитивный подход к изучению русского языка служит усвоению обучающимися не только его коммуникативной функции, но и эстетической, эмотивной, когнитивной.
Вербализация категории перформативности в предписывающих конструкциях конвенционализирующего текста
Authors: Бредихин С.Н. , Банман П.П.
Published: May 2020

В данном исследовании анализу подвергаются конвенционализирующие тексты, которые призваны осуществлять регуляцию какой-либо правовой сферы, т.е. несут в себе список декларативов обязательных к исполнению несколькими сообществами. В рассматриваемых текстах предписывающе-констатирующий характер содержит имманентно приданные компоненты перформативности, которые эксплицируются в специфических морфосинтаксических конструкциях. Конвенционализирующий прескриптивный текст представляет собой коммуникативный акт, который актуализируется в поликоммуникативном пространстве, и реализует как коммуникативное действие, так и репрезентацию собственного (свойственного конкретному сообществу) образа мыследействования, что вызывает необходимость импликации отдельных обертонов перформативности в прескриптивно-констатирующих конструкциях. Авторы приходят к выводу, что помимо прямых перформативов в конвенционализирующем тексте чрезвычайно распространены морфосинтаксические схемы с модальными операторами, которые воссоздают диахроническое значение модальных глаголов (большей частью глагола shall) в процессе актуализации ноэм «бытийственность», «наличность в рефлексивной реальности», «эмпирическая не верифицируемость». Конвенционализирующий текст признается обладающим доминантами предписывания и «речедействования» как ключевых маркеров конвенционализации или контемпораризации высказывания и регулируемого им действия, что вскрывает интенциональную взаимосвязь и взаимообусловленность констативности и перформативности каждого из высказываний, имеющих предписывающее значение.
Домашняя утварь и её использование в селе Подгорном Воронежской области
Authors: Недоступова Л.В.
Published: May 2020

В условиях сокращающейся сферы употребления говоров актуальной становится диалектологическая проблематика. Данная работа посвящена лексике одного русского говора Воронежской области, которая собрана в полевых условиях. Целью настоящего исследования является описание домашней утвари и её использования в середине и второй половине XX века, а также лексических единиц, функционировавших при обозначении предметов обихода в селе Подгорном. Для достижения цели автор обращается к методам: интервьюирования, наблюдения и интерпретации, описания, сравнения и анализа. Объектами пристального внимания в исследовании стали: русская печь, чигун, сковородка, маслобойка, деревянная лопата, кочерга, кадка, скалка, коромысло, рубель, лоток, валёк, утюг из чугуна, лоханка, кушин, корчик, корец, битон, корзинка, кадушка, лукошко и многие другие. Значение рассматриваемых слов определено по толковым словарям А.П. Евгеньевой и Т.Ф. Ефремовой, значение и территория распространения лексических единиц в других диалектах – по Словарю русских народных говоров. На протяжении достаточно длительного времени домашняя утварь подгоренцев сохраняла особенные черты местности, в которой использовалась. Люди старались окружить себя именно теми полезными вещами, каковы были удобны в применении и практичны. В заключении названа причина выхода теперь уже ставшей архаичной лексики, отражающей показанные реалии домашнего обихода, из активного употребления. Отмечено, что в XXI веке утварь представлена уже иными наименованиями. Полученные результаты дают право сделать вывод, что в говоре коренных жительниц исследуемого населённого пункта отражены явления повседневной действительности. Автор указывает на ценность сохранения подлинных предметов старины и важность фиксации ещё сохранившейся в речи информаторов старшей возрастной группы лексических единиц, называющих реалии быта прошлого.
Элиминация фигуры автора в современном русском деловом медиадискурсе: формы и факторы
Authors: Ширяева О.В.
Published: May 2020

Фигура автора и ее репрезентация в тексте являются центральными проблемами теории дискурса, а потому нуждаются во всестороннем изучении, в том числе на материале конкретных дискурсов. Выраженность репрезентации авторской фигуры напрямую зависит от действия множества дискурсивных факторов, включая установки на информирование или воздействие, жанровой и дискурсивной традиции, институциональных правил конкретного дискурса. В статье на основании данных, полученных из изданий «Коммерсантъ», «РБК», «Эксперт», «Бизнес-журнал», «Forbes» за 2017–2019 гг., осуществляется анализ механизмов элиминации репрезентации автора текста в русском деловом медиадискурсе. В ходе исследования применялись методы наблюдения, дискурсивного анализа, лексического, грамматического и синтаксического анализа, контекстного анализа. Проведенное исследование позволяет сделать вывод, что репрезентация авторской фигуры в медиатексте осуществляется при помощи сложной системы средств, которая включает дейктические элементы, модальность, лексические, синтаксические, стилистические и композиционные средства; в эту систему средств также вовлекаются содержательные особенности (оценка, точка зрения). При анализе репрезентации фигуры автора в медиадискурсе необходимо учитывать не только внутреннюю структуру текста и жанровые нормы, но и стратегию, формирующую дискурс конкретного издания, а также его предназначение (ср. рекламные материалы). В репрезентации авторской фигуры важную роль играют паратекстуальные отношения с дополняющими текст компонентами, как вербальными (подпись), так и невербальными (фотография); при оценке подписи важными являются такие показатели, как ее наличие/отсутствие, а также ее начальная или конечная позиция. В современном русском деловом медиадискурсе обнаруживается тенденция к последовательной элиминации фигуры автора, которая мотивируется установками на информативность и акцентирование объективного содержания материалов, усилением коллективного авторства, а также скрытой установкой на воздействие и формирование общественного сознания.
Project Risk Based Evaluation for Infrastructure Works in Qatar: Highway Projects
Authors: Abd Rahman Nor Rozaini
Published: May 2020

The implementation of a project for infrastructure works such as highways, bridges, flyovers, underpasses, tunnels, etc. can be complexed and unique. This has always required a proper project management system that includes the conception and initiation, planning, execution, performance/monitoring and close-out phases. The construction risks identification and mitigation processes are critical and essential at the beginning of the project phase i.e. planning phase, in order to deal with the risks and avert them as to minimize effects to the work progress. The construction risks include additional works that could contribute to the project cost overrun and delay the works progress, any political uncertainty including a blockade imposed by a group of countries towards a particular country, and a possibility of introduction of new taxation by the government i.e. Value Added Tax (VAT) which could definitely affect the material, labor, service and machinery prices. This research paper identifies the construction risks which have affected the implementation of certain ongoing and completed infrastructure works undertaken by the Public Works Authority (PWA or ASHGHAL) in Qatar in recent years. The research included and focused on the importance of project evaluation formalization through identification of obstacles and challenges associated with project risks. There could be a possibility that the identified projects were not fully assessing the significant risk factors during the feasibility studies. Based on a literature review, questionnaires, structured interviews, unstructured interviews, and detailed case studies, it has been established that the most critical construction risks were the design changes, additional works, land acquisition, new requirements, contractors’ non-performance, and interfacing works. Most of the experts indicated that the design changes could be reduced by defining and establishing detailed scope of works and specifications during the design stage. An early project coordination with the key stakeholders should be implemented to ensure that the detail information, requirements and any future interfacing works are assessed and updated for potential clashes and resolutions.

Published: May 2020

A new bio-adsorbent to remove reactive dyes from textile effluent was investigated in the present study. The adsorbent was the leaves of locally available hogla plant (Typha angustata). Initially, sunfix yellow, a reactive dye widely used in textile effluents, was used to check the removal efficiency in terms of contact time, pH of dye solution and adsorbent dosage. Complete removal (100%) of dye was achieved at adsorbent/dye ratio of 2300:1 at pH 10 with 180 minutes contact time. The adsorbent was then applied to deep colored, raw textile wastewater samples and it was found that 2.3 g of adsorbent was able to convert 100 mL of deep colored wastewater to transparent water at pH 10. Additionally, treatment by the adsorbent resulted in significant decreases in pH, BOD, COD, TS, TDS and TSS of wastewater, while improving the DO level.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SUPERPIXEL SEGMENTATION METHODS
Authors: Kaur Sumit , Bansal R.K
Published: May 2020

Superpixel segmentation showed to be a useful preprocessing step in many computer vision applications. Superpixel’s purpose is to reduce the redundancy in the image and increase efficiency from the point of view of the next processing task. This led to a variety of algorithms to compute superpixel segmentations, each with individual strengths and weaknesses. Many methods for the computation of superpixels were already presented. A drawback of most of these methods is their high computational complexity and hence high computational time consumption. K mean based SLIC method shows better performance as compare to other while evaluating on the bases of under segmentation error and boundary recall, etc parameters.

RELEVANCE OF YOGA IN THE 21ST CENTURY
Authors: Chowdhury Shib Shankar
Published: May 2020

This lecture deals with the profound influence that yoga can have in the fields of behavioral transformation, upgrading mental strength, management of time, controlling of flow of emotions and reactions and choice of decision. The literal translation of yoga means “integration” or “union” have come to see yoga as the science which aims to harmonize or unite virtually all aspects of life – the physical, mental, social and spiritual. The most direct and abiding way to achieve this is to integrate yoga into sequential dealings of personal or professional relations to self actualization systems. Our ultimate goal is to see yoga as an inherent part of every curriculum all over the world in the 21st century. I believe that such “integration” would result in populations of students, employees, housewives and entrepreneurs who are more empathetic, self confident and mindful of themselves and one another. The anecdotal and empirical evidence is that those incorporate yoga into their curricula, find that the self management is enhanced through reduced level of stress, improved focus and increased attention span, gained enormous patience and become kind and vegetarian. In many parts of the world people have found that integrating yoga into the personal and professional dealings and transactions has had these profound and abiding effects. However, we find ourselves at a point where yoga is not an integral part of a significant number of educational curricula or day to day activities. More to the point, it could not even realistically be seen as part of a serious agenda on educational reform. Our task is therefore a daunting and formidable one. The first step towards this goal is for the educational, business and yogic community to come together in unity of purpose and clarity of voice to put forth value and relevance of scientific adaptation of yoga in the 21st century.
A REVIEW ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF STEEL PLANTS IN INDIA
Authors: Mukherjee Arijit , Basu Soumendra Nath , Paul Sayan
Published: May 2020

The steel industry being highly energy intensive in nature is one the major consumers of energy. The iron and steel industry is the largest energy consuming manufacturing sector in the world. It is therefore that the question of fuel or energy has been of the highest importance in steel making, and one can boldly claim that all other conditions remaining constant, saving or wasting of fuel can make the difference between a profit or a loss of a steel plant. Energy conservation in steel plants is very crucial to ensure the competitiveness of the steel producing industries and to minimise environmental impacts. India's leading iron and steel companies, scored averages at best in Centre for Science and environment green rating test. The Indian iron and steel sector's energy consumption of 6.6 GCal per tonne, is 50 per cent higher than the global best practice. The integrated steel plants in India have the opportunities to strengthen their operations and minimise energy losses and wastages to reduce specific energy consumption by 5-6%. To reduce the gaps between India and developed countries we have to follow the technological advancement and implementation of innovative strategies at every stage of the operation of steel plants. The specific energy consumption in the Indian steel industry is high compared to that in advanced countries. Data for four integrated steel plants in India have been analysed. World crude steel production reached 1.621 million tones (Mt) in 2015. To meet the needs of our growing population, steel use is projected to increase by 1.5 times that of present level by 2050.

Orthaga exvinacea is one of the major pests of mango crop and the caterpillars defoliate the leaves and thereby reduce the crop yield. Use of synthetic insecticide is the quick method for the control this pest but its uncontrolled usage has resulted in serious lethal effects on non-target organisms and environmental pollution. Botanical insecticides are very effective, safe and ecologically acceptable. In the present study, the impact of methanolic leaf extracts of Clerodendrum infortunatum and Chromolaena odorata on carbohydrate concentration in the haemolymph of sixth instar larvae of O. exvinacea was studied under laboratory conditions. The different concentrations (1% to 5%) of each botanical treated mango leaves were fed to the sixth instar. After 48 hours, larvae were sacrificed to collect haemolymph and the quantitative estimation of carbohydrate has been done. The results showed that there was some noticeable decrease in the amount of carbohydrate in the treated larvae when compared to control. The decrease in level of carbohydrate concentration was correlated with the increase in concentration of botanicals. Among the botanicals tested C. odorata possessed more efficacy than that of C. infortunatum and this experiment reveals the potency of both botanicals to be used as natural biopesticides against this pest.

Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui potensi pengembangan kawasan ekowisata mangrove serta memberikan pemahaman kepada kelompok masyarakat mengenai pengelolaan kawasan ekowisata mangrove yang saat ini telah dikembangkan di Pantai Labu Sawo, Desa Penyaring, Kecamatan Moyo Utara, Kabupaten Sumbawa. Dusun Labu Sawo memiliki pantai yang sangat indah dan termasuk dalam Kawasan Strategis Cepat Tumbuh Samota. Keunggulan lain yang dimiliki kawasan ini adalah vegetasi mangrove yang masih rapat dan alami. Pengembangan kawasan ekowisata hutan mangrove telah dilakukan oleh masyarakat melalui Kelompok Sadar Wisata (POKDARWIS) Labu Sawo. Walaupun demikian, pengelolaan ini belum maksimal karena kurangnya informasi yang dimiliki oleh kelompok tersebut mengenai potensi apa saja yang dapat dikembangkan di kawasan mangrove untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat sekitar. Melalui kegiatan penyuluhan ini, beberapa potensi yang dimiliki oleh Dusun Labu Sawo berhasil diidentifikasi. Hasil pembobotan potensi yang dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa kawasan ini sangat layak (72,8%) untuk dikembangkan dan dikelola menjadi kawasan ekowisata. Selain itu, diskusi dengan masyarakat setempat juga menunjukkan bahwa potensi-potensi yang ada memang belum dapat dikembangkan lebih jauh.  Dengan demikian, masih diperlukan pelatihan-pelatihan terkait untuk meningkatkan jumlah SDM berkualitas serta kegiatan pendampingan masyarakat untuk pengembangan kawasan ekowisata sangat dibutuhkan bagi kawasan ini.
