САМООБЕСПЕЧЕННОСТЬ РЕГИОНА ПРОДУКЦИЕЙ МОЛОЧНОГО СКОТОВОДСТВА
Authors: Салихов Р.М.
Published: December 2024

Темпы роста продукции скотоводства в основном определяются общим экономическим и социальным развитием каждой отдельно взятой страны и состоянием в них сельскохозяйственного производства. До 1990 г. в большинстве стран увеличение численности крупного рогатого скота происходило при значительном повышении интенсивности его использования, в результате темпы роста производствамолока в 2,5 раза опережали рост поголовья. В 90-е годы во многих странах появилась тенденция сокращения скота особенно молочных коров, а в Европе это явление началось несколько раньше. Но в то же время продолжалось повышение продуктивности животных и, как следствие, производство скотоводческой продукции стабилизировалось, а в некоторых странах оно даже возросло. На сегодняшний день численность скота в мире стала медленно увеличиваться, однако производство молока пока еще не достигло уровня 1990 г. Молочное скотоводство является важным направлением аграрной политики страны. Сегодня республика Дагестан занимает ведущее место в стране по поголовью коров, численность которых по итогам 2021 года составила 476,1 тысячи голов, это почти 6% от общего поголовья страны, или 45,5% от поголовья СКФО.[1]

The growth rates of livestock production are mainly determined by the overall economic and social development of each individual country and the state of agricultural production in them. Until 1990, in most countries, the increase in the number of cattle occurred with a significant increase in the intensity of its use, as a result, the growth rate of milk production was 2.5 times faster than the growth of livestock. In the 90s, in many countries there was a tendency to reduce livestock, especially dairy cows, and in Europe this phenomenon began a little earlier. But at the same time, the productivity of animals continued to increase and, as a result, the production of livestock products stabilized, and in some countries it even increased. To date, the number of livestock in the world has slowly increased, but milk production has not yet reached the level of 1990. Dairy cattle breeding is an important area of the country's agrarian policy. Today the Republic of Dagestan is zani

Политическая и религиозная жизнь Чеченской Республики 1990-х гг. была в основном связана с вопросами независимости и исламского государства. Кровопролитная и разрушительная война 1994–1996 гг. стала основным фактором, способствовавшим усилению политического и идеологического влияния «ваххабитов» в Чечне. Жесткую и непримиримую позицию в отношении «ваххабизма» занимал муфтий Чеченской Республики Ичкерия А. Кадыров, считавший себя ответственным не только за состояние религиозных дел, но и за единство народа, недопущение новой войны. А.А. Кадыров оказался в числе немногих политических деятелей из руководства Чеченской Республики Ичкерия, которые открыто воспротивились указу о введении «шариатского» правления.

The political and religious life of the Chechen Republic in the 1990s was mainly related to the issues of independence and the Islamic state. The bloody and destructive war 1994–1996 was the main factor contributing to the strengthening of the political and ideological influence of the ‘Wahhabis’ in Chechnya. The Mufti of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, A. Kadyrov, who considered himself responsible not only for the state of religious affairs, but also for the unity of the people and the prevention of a new war, was among the few political figures from the leadership of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria who openly opposed the decree on the introduction of ‘sharia’ rule.

Несмотря на короткий жизненный путь, Шейх Мансур оставил заметный след в истории не только чеченского и кавказских народов, но и мировой истории в целом, ведь он и его сподвижники были современниками грандиозных событий Русско-турецкой войны 1787–1791 гг., которые изменили геополитический ландшафт и баланс сил в целом регионе. Это личность, которая вызывает к себе интерес и восхищение не только своих соотечественников, но и исследователей, религиоведов и политологов разных стран.

The article is devoted to the outstanding political and religious figure, the leader of the Caucasian highlanders, Sheikh Mansur: his life path, exploits, successes and failures, his role in the anti-colonial movement and the formation of national consciousness of the peoples of the Caucasus, as well as his legacy. The significance of Sheikh Mansor's personality for the current younger generation of Chechnya, in particular, and the Caucasus as a whole is analyzed. Despite his short life path, Sheikh Mansour left a noticeable mark in the history of not only the Chechen and Caucasian peoples, but also world history as a whole, because he and his associates were contemporaries of the grandiose events of the RussianTurkish War of 1787-1791, which changed the geopolitical landscape and the balance of power in the whole region.

Reversed adaptive system of PNIPAM-decorated nanoparticles induced by the ionic strength of the subphase
Authors: Zbonikowski Rafał , Aryanfar Asghar , Tayyar Ali , Iwan Michalina , Presselt Martin , Paczesny Jan
Published: December 2024

We investigate the effects of ionic strength on the self-assembly of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)-nanoparticles (PSiFe) at the air-water interface. These responsive nanoparticles exhibit temperature-dependent behavior, forming more compact films at high temperatures (above the lower critical solution temperature, LCST). Upon adding potassium chloride (KCl) to the subphase, we observe an unexpected increase in the distance between nanoparticles, attributed to the creation of ionic clouds around them. This shifts the isotherms significantly compared to those formed at pure water, as larger areas of the interface are required to accommodate the same number of particles. Moreover, our findings reveal that increasing ionic strength alters the PNIPAM conformation, inhibiting nanoparticle aggregation even at higher temperatures. Using Langmuir-Blodgett techniques, we confirm that ionic strength modulates particle spacing and assembly dynamics. These results provide new insights into the control of nanoparticle interactions at interfaces, with potential applications in the design of tunable, stimuli-responsive materials.
Crystalline 1D Coordination Polymer Inhibitor Layer Leads to Vertical Sidewalls in Selectively Deposited ZnO on Nanoscale Patterns

Published: December 2024

Area-selective atomic layer deposition (AS-ALD) is a promising technique for the fabrication of next generation nanoelectronics. There are two main challenges in AS-ALD: (1) achieving high selectivity of deposition on the growth regions and (2) preventing mushrooming of the growth material onto the nongrowth regions and achieving well-defined interfaces. In this work, we use benzenethiol (BT) as an inhibitor in the selective deposition of ZnO on SiO2 in the presence of copper with and without a native oxide (Cu/CuOx). We observe that BT forms a monolayer on the Cu surface and a Cu-thiolate multilayer structure on CuOx. Using grazing incidence x-ray diffraction combined with simulations, we find that the multilayer structure is crystalline and composed of 1D coordination polymers of Cu-thiolate. Using ellipsometry and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we show that the BT consumes the entirety of the CuOx present in forming the multilayer, and thus the thickness of the multilayer can be tuned by the thickness of the original oxide. Both the monolayer BT and the multilayer BT prove to be effective inhibitors of ZnO ALD, blocking nearly 500 ALD cycles, which is more than twice that achieved with other thiol inhibitors. Finally, we demonstrate that the multilayer structure can prevent mushrooming of the ALD material onto the nongrowth surface of nanoscale patterns, creating vertical sidewalls with welldefined material interfaces and providing excellent pattern transfer even for a relatively thick deposited film. As such, these results demonstrate not only that BT is an effective inhibitor, but also that its ability to form tunable multilayers lends itself towards highly precise nanopatterning applications.

Published: December 2024

Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) are emerging as a promising technology in the renewable energy sector, offering a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional silicon-based solar cells. So far, ruthenium (II)-based devices are among the most efficient DSSCs, thanks to excellent light absorption and stability. However, ruthenium is a critical raw material with limited availability and high cost, prompting the need to explore more abundant and affordable alternatives. This review focuses on the potential of coordination complexes of first row d-block metals (e.g., iron, copper, nickel, cobalt) as dyes in DSSCs, addressing the key challenge of improving their photoconversion efficiencies (PCEs) to compete with ruthenium-based counterparts.

Published: December 2024

In this work, the foundation of a biobased ionic liquid utilization of squid waste has been scrutinized. An ionic liquid screening showed that the biocompatible ionic liquid choline acetate, [Ch][OAc], can extract more than 80 wt% of the protein and precipitate it upon solvent swing between ethanol and water. Process parameter optimization was carried out with factorial design of experiments to yield 75% of recovered protein with an estimated 90% purity and a highly acetylated, crystalline β-chitin with up to 95% purity. Physico-chemical analyses of these two streams confirmed the efficiency of ionic liquid separation and the amino acid profiling of the protein isolate revealed the presence of three major essential amino acids, histidine, leucine and valine that could be a valuable alternative protein source for feed in aquaculture. Molecular dynamic simulations show that the affinity of [OAc]- to protein surfaces is greater than that of alternative anions, facilitating protein solubilization. However, its combination with [Ch]+ is optimal because the interactions of this cation with the protein surface are relatively weak, allowing the protein to be recovered from the IL. A material mass balance of the process has shown the solvent usage is high, which ultimately impacts on high energetic requirements. Techno-economic confirmed that solvent usage makes up to nearly 65% of the minimum selling price of the protein, which reaches up to 9 $/kg, but decreases with co-production of β-chitin down to 0.6 $·kg-1 for each 1 $·kg-1 of chitin. Solvent usage also impacts negatively on CO2 emissions with up to 4.27 kg CO2·kg-1 of product. These emissions are split into 61% for the protein and 39% for the β-chitin production.

Published: December 2024

Silicon's versatility as a semiconductor renders it indispensable across various domains, including electronics, sensors, and photovoltaics. Modifying Hydrogen-terminated Silicon surfaces with moieties adsorption offers a method to tailor the material’s properties for specific applications. In this study, we employ ab initio density functional theory calculations to explore the energetics of single alkyl, 1-alkenyl and 1-alkynyl moieties chemisorbed on Hydrogen-terminated Silicon (111) surface. We analyse the interfacial dipole induced by Si–C bond formation that determines the Schottky barrier and examine the alignment of the frontier orbitals energy levels with Silicon band structure to investigate the charge transfer based on tunnelling mechanism. Our findings provide valuable insights into how aliphatic moiety functionalization affects interfacial electronic properties, offering clues for optimizing Silicon-based devices.
Defect-enabled fast gas encapsulation into water lattices for innovative energy storage and decarbonization
Authors: Nguyen Ngoc , Galib Mirza , Nguyen Anh , Linga Praveen
Published: December 2024

Non-polar gases do not mix well with liquid water, but they can be incorporated massively in solid water lattices and create gas-carrying water structures called gas hydrates. Nature showcases this extraordinary gas/water incorporation through multi-trillion tones of methane solidified in natural hydrates on seafloors. Laboratory experiments successfully produced gas hydrates containing ~5 wt% of hydrogen, 15 wt% of methane, and 30 wt% of CO2. Such water-based gas carriers hold great promise for energy storage and CO2 sequestration, taking the advantages of water as a sustainable feedstock. However, the slow gas encapsulation in water lattices hinders real-world applications. We present a novel defect-engineering concept for tailoring gas uptake in water lattices. We elaborate microscopic views of dopant-induced defects in water lattices, reveal an intrinsic link between the engineered defects and gas encapsulation kinetics, and provide a path-opening concept of defect engineering for efficient gas encapsulation in solid water lattices for energy storage and decarbonization applications.
Adapted DFTB3 repulsive potentials reach DFT accuracy for hydride transfer reactions in enzymes

Published: December 2024

Enzymatic hydride transfer reactions play a crucial role in numerous metabolic pathways, yet their accurate computational modeling remains challenging due to the trade-off between accuracy and computational efficiency. Ideally, molecular dynamics simulations should sample all enzyme configurations along the reaction path using post Hartree-Fock or DFT QM/MM electrostatic embedding methods, but these are computationally expensive. Here, we introduce a simple approach to improve the third-order density functional tight binding (DFTB3) semi-empirical method to model hydride transfer reactions in enzymes. We identified deficiencies in DFTB3's description of the potential energy surface for the hydride transfer step in Crotonyl-CoA Carboxylase/Reductase (Ccr) and developed a systematic methodology to address these limitations. Our approach involves modifying DFTB3's repulsive potential functions using linear combinations of harmonic functions, guided by analysis of C-H and C-C distance distributions along the reaction path. The optimized DFTB3 Hamiltonian significantly improved the description of the hydride transfer reaction in Ccr, reproducing the reference DFT activation barrier within 0.1 kcal/mol. We also addressed the transferability of our method by applying it to another hydride transfer reaction bearing the 1,4-dihydropyridine motif but exhibiting distinct structural features of the reactant and the hydride transfer reaction in Dihydrofolate Reductase (DHFR). In both cases our adapted DFTB3 Hamiltonian correctly reproduced the experimentally observed activation barrier. The low computational cost and transferability of our method will enable more accurate and efficient QM/MM molecular dynamics simulations of hydride transfer reactions, potentially accelerating research in enzyme engineering and drug design.

The discovery of novel natural products (NPs) from diverse microorganisms is essential for advancing drug discovery. In this study, a chemical approach was employed for NP exploration using the genus Paraconiothyrium sp. isolated from the root soil of Ficus microcarpa on Noho Island, Okinawa. Consequently, we isolated five compounds, including a new chromone, (+)-nohocumone (1), as well as four known compounds, (S)-(+)-known chromone (2), 10-norparvulenone (3), sclerotinin A (4), and calbistrin A (5), from the culture broth of Paraconiothyrium sp. FKR-0637. The planar structure of 1 were elucidated using 1D and 2D NMR analyses, HR-ESI-MS, and chemical derivatization. Chlorinated chromone 1 is a novel compound that was not previously isolated from Paraconiothyrium sp. These results contribute to expanding the structural diversity and collection of NPs that can be obtained from the culture broths of Paraconiothyrium sp.

Published: December 2024

In the past two decades, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have evolved from uses in catalysis and gas storage to exciting applications in biomedicine, particularly in drug delivery. Initially, MOFs were primarily used to deliver small molecules, but recent innovations have shifted focus toward more complex nucleic acids like DNA, short guide RNA (sgRNA), and short interfering RNA (siRNA). Remarkably, no studies to date have demonstrated the successful encapsulation and delivery of fragile messenger RNA (mRNA) via MOFs in vitro and in vivo. This study tackles that gap by identifying optimal synthetic conditions to encapsulate and deliver mRNA using nanoscale zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8). Early attempts showed mRNA loading in ZIF-8 but failed to retain mRNA in biological media. To overcome this challenge, we incorporated polyethyleneimine (PEI) into the framework, forming a robust polymer complex core-MOF shell particle. This system not only stabilized mRNA complexes but delayed their release, resulting in effective protein expression in multiple cell lines and mice, performing on par with commercial lipid-based transfection reagents and surpassing PEI alone. Moreover, we present the first investigation into thermally stable mRNA storage using ZIF-8, demonstrating successful protein expression after three months of room-temperature storage in vitro and one month in vivo. Our findings broaden the scope of MOF-based therapeutic delivery and open new avenues for long-term mRNA storage and transport.

We present an updated version of the CoRE MOF database, which includes a curated set of computation-ready MOF crystal structures designed for high-throughput computational materials discovery. Data collection and curation procedures were improved from the previous version to enable more frequent updates in the future. Machine learning-predicted properties, such as stability metrics and heat capacities, are included in the dataset to streamline screening activities. An updated version of MOFid was developed to provide detailed information on metal nodes, organic linkers, and topologies of a MOF structure. DDEC06 partial atomic charges of MOFs were assigned based on a machine learning model. Gibbs-Ensemble Monte Carlo simulations were used to classify the hydrophobicity of MOFs. The finalized dataset was subsequently used to perform integrated material-process screening for various carbon capture conditions using high-fidelity temperature-swing adsorption (TSA) simulations. Our workflow identified multiple MOF candidates that are predicted to outperform CALF-20 for these applications.
Molecular conductance calculations on single-molecule junctions using projection-based density functional embedding
Authors: Jelenfi Dávid P. , Tajti Attila , Szalay Péter G.
Published: December 2024

Single-Molecule Junctions (SMJs) are key platforms for the exploration of electron transport at the molecular scale. In this work, we present a method that employs different exchange-correlation density functionals for the molecule and the electrode domains in an SMJ, allowing us to choose the optimal one for each part. This is accomplished using a formally exact projection-based DFT-in-DFT embedding technique combined with the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method to predict the zero-bias conductance. The effectiveness of the approach is illustrated through transport calculations on SMJs with benzene-1,4-diamine (BDA) and its tetramethylated and tetrafluorinated variants using the CAM-B3LYP range-separated hybrid functional for the embedded molecule and the PBE functional for the electrodes. The findings indicate a substantial improvement in the accuracy of the predicted zero-bias conductance compared to traditional modeling using the PBE functional across the entire system. The causes for the noted improvement are demonstrated through the examination of alterations in the energy levels of the embedded molecule, along with variations in the electrode-molecule interactions.
Building RNA Concentration Fields
Authors: Kim Dong-Woo , Rubanov Moshe , Grinthal Alison , Moerman Pepijn , Schulman Rebecca
Published: December 2024

In living systems, biomolecular concentration fields create maps that pattern a fly’s compound eyes, weave growing nerves into brain circuitry, and organize microbial communities. A simple, generalizable way to construct such concentration maps in vitro, with precise control over the position and shape of each feature and applicability to diverse length-scales, timescales, and downstream processes, would open opportunities to direct the synthesis and dynamics of systems ranging from optics and electronics to living tissues. Here we introduce a strategy for creating intricately patterned, stable RNA concentration fields by designing the arrangement and overlap of local concentration fields that act as geometric primitives for pattern design. Each primitive field is produced by a “generator” hydrogel, allowing field positions and overlaps to be arbitrarily chosen by prescribing the generator locations. This design flexibility derives from a straightforward approach: combining primitive fields through the direct addition of their concentrations at each point. As a result, combining fields by modulating inter-generator distance can introduce new pattern features such as hills or valleys. Using an empirical model that enables rapid and accurate prediction of the composite fields produced by arbitrary numbers and arrangements of generators, we show how a desired field can be generated from first principles by optimizing the set of generator locations that accurately reproduces it. The construction of patterns from primitive fields, using RNA synthesis and degradation reactions easily generalized to any sequence, enables the patterning of a range of RNA species, independent scaling of local and composite fields, and multi-hour pattern stability using only NTPs as fuel. This approach provides a foundation for applying the operations of constructive geometry to patterning materials in solution that could be extended to three-dimensional and multi-species concentration fields to drive the self-assembly of particles and materials, orchestrate the growth and self-organization of cell architectures, or precisely direct reconfiguration or healing.
What is the ideal methodological response for the learning and teaching of critical thinking and evaluative judgement in the age of generative artificial intelligence?
Authors: Gearing Nigel
Published: December 2024

The two-lane approach as a response to assessment in the new world of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) (Liu & Bridgeman, 2023), has fast gained traction with tertiary education providers. The flexible, adaptive and experimental nature of this approach arguably complements much of what the literature on second language (L2) motivation research advocates. A key component of that literature is that the more students can see a rationale for their learning and its relevance, the more they will become and remain motivated. While L2 motivation research greatly expands on these broad concepts, two key theoretical constructs underpin much of it. The first is the Process Model of Motivation (Dörnyei & Ottó, 1998) and the second is Dörnyei’s (2009) L2 Motivational Self System, which expanded on the former. This article will background the two-lane approach and then discuss the perceived merits of it by way of example. It will posit that this approach may work to the advantage of students in a world in which they will be increasingly expected to incorporate GenAI into their course work. Finally, this article will speak to the reservations in the literature about GenAI’s role and ability to promote critical thinking and the use of evaluative judgment, which are both core elements that learning advisors teach and support students with.

Strategie oporu ukraińskich kobiet. Dysydentki, wolontariuszki, uchodźczynie
Authors: Doboszewska Alina
Published: December 2024

W artykule przedstawiam problematykę działań oporowych w Ukrainie w kontekście codziennych praktyk budowania sieci wsparcia społecznego w perspektywie doświadczenia kobiet. Analiza oparta jest na wywiadach biograficznych trzech kategorii narratorek: ukraińskich dysydentek z lat 60.–80. XX wieku, wolontariuszek z lat 2014–2016 oraz uchodźczyń, które znalazły się w Polsce w wyniku pełnoskalowej agresji rosyjskiej na Ukrainę w latach 2022–2023. Pokazuję, w jaki sposób kobiety działające w przestrzeni społecznej (prywatnej) przekraczają granicę przestrzeni politycznej (publicznej). Analiza wywiadów stanowi podstawę do badan nad specyfiką strategii oporu i powiązanego z nim wsparcia społecznego stosowanego przez kobiety. Opór dysydentek przejawiał się w aktach życia codziennego, nie nosił znamion heroicznych i łatwo ulegał zapomnieniu. Ten rodzaj oporu znajduje kontynuację w wydarzeniach związanych z wojną rosyjsko-ukraińską, poczynając od 2014 roku. Szczególnie istotna jest rola kobiet w ruchu wolontariackim w pierwszych latach wojny. Był to ruch kreujący społeczeństwo obywatelskie, który umożliwił zaistnienie zmiany społecznej, jaka trwa i ewoluuje do dziś, także w warunkach pełnoskalowych działań wojennych. Dotyczy to również uchodźczyń, które przybyły do Polski, podejmujących różne działania wspierające ukraińskie społeczeństwo i armię. Te nieoczywiste formy oporu, choć pozostają w cieniu bezpośredniego oporu militarnego, warte są zbadania w perspektywie przyszłego kształtu społeczeństwa ukraińskiego.

Published: December 2024

One of the intermediaries for infection transmission between patients is through the hands of health workers. Hand hygiene is an easy, cheap, and effective precaution, but very difficult to implement. This study aims to determine the effect of health beliefs on nurse hand hygiene compliance in the inpatient ward of RSUD dr. H. Kumpulan Pane (HKP). This quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at the inpatient ward of RSUD HKP. This study involved 210 inpatient ward nurses. Data collection was carried out using survey techniques, valid and reliable questionnaires, and direct observation. The majority of respondents were 36-40 years old (40.5%), were female (91.4%), had an associate degree (74.8%), had worked for 6-10 years (57.1%), and were civil servants (56.7%). All respondents had attended Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) training, experienced sharp object injuries and contact with patient body fluids, and 85.7% of respondents had experienced nosocomial infections. The majority of respondents had good perceptions of susceptibility, severity, benefits, cue to action, and self-efficacy, but the majority of respondents also had high perceptions of barriers. Further observation found that nurses' hand hygiene compliance was only around 56.7%. Data analysis found that nurses’ hand hygiene compliance at RSUD HKP was influenced by perceived susceptibility (p<0.001), severity (p<0.05), cue to action (p<0.001), and age (p<0.005). It can be concluded that although all components of the health belief model were associated with hand hygiene compliance, only perceived susceptibility, severity, cue to action, and age had a significant influence on hand hygiene compliance.

Indonesia has the third highest maternal mortality rate in ASEAN. The Maternal Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) program was established to reduce the high maternal mortality rate. However, the effectiveness of maternal audit implementation still faces many obstacles. This study aims to describe the obstacles faced by the MPDSR team in assessing maternal mortality in Lombok Island. We used qualitative study with case study design through in-depth interviews with nine informants from two MPDSR program holders at the Health Offices and one Maternal Perinatal Death Notification (MPDN) coordinator at the West Nusa Tenggara Health Office in 2022. Data were analyzed using the thematic analysis approach. Triangulation were done by method triangulation, triangulation between researchers, triangulation of data sources, and theoretical triangulation. The results showed that the problems faced by the MPDSR team, including ineffective of MPDSR socialization, budget limitations of MPDSR activities, feature issues in the MPDN, the ratio between labor and workload was less than ideal, incomplete and delayed collection of maternal mortality data, lack of communication between MPDSR teams, health workers have not been trained in the data entry process, labor outside of medical supervision, no monitoring of maternal mortality cases in wards other than obgyn, health workers did not understand the ICD-10 code, the assessment was still conducted in a hybrid, not all maternal death cases were assessed, blaming culture, and suboptimal monitoring of the sustainability of MPDSR recommendation. Therefore, it was necessary to establish discussion to find strategies and solutions based on a priority scale.

У статті розглянуті питання формування ціннісного ставлення до здоров’я в природному й соціальному середовищі засобами мовних логічних задач Доведено актуальність і необхідність здійснення такої роботи з дітьми, особливо в старшому дошкільному віці. Проаналізовано праці сучасних науковців України з досліджуваної проблеми та виявлено, що цей аспект потребує додаткового вивчення. Виявлено, що сучасні соціологічні дослідження доводять, що відбувається стійкий процес переусвідомлення традиційних цінностей і виникнення нових, які відображають зростання свободи людини й усвідомлення складної безпекової ситуації на сучасному етапі в Україні. Показано, що особистісні цінності тісно пов’язані з універсальними, починають виходити на перший план, тому велика увага приділяється дослідженню суті феноменів «цінності», «ціннісне ставлення», «мовна логічна задача», «педагогічна майстерність». Вказано, що критерії підходу до оцінки феноменів «цінності», «ціннісне ставлення», мають конкретно-історичний і національний характер і залежать від ментальності, соціального стану індивіда, його потреб, віку, професійної діяльності та є важливою умовою регуляції поведінки та взаємовідносин індивідуумів. Зроблено висновок, що цінності – це властивості буття, які створює сам Homo sapiens або які мають важливе значення для нього. Вічними загальнолюдськими цінностями є Любов, Істина, Краса, Добро, Справедливість, Здоров’я. Розроблено методику формування у дітей старшого дошкільного віку ціннісного ставлення до здоров’я в природному й соціальному середовищі. Наведено приклади мовних логічних задач. У наведених мовних логічних задачах казкові персонажі або ровесники дітей, перебуваючи в складних життєвих ситуаціях у природному або суспільному середовищі, шукають разом із дітьми правильні відповіді, які допоможуть старшим дошкільникам в реальному житті зробити правильні дії у схожих життєвих ситуаціях. Мовні логічні задачі спонукають до роздумів, висловлення власних оцінних суджень, сприяють розвитку мовлення. Тільки творчий педагог, який володіє педагогічною майстерністю може в повній мірі використати виховний потенціал мовних логічних задач.

Authors: Putri Arisa Olivia , Elida Elsa , Nugraha Dian
Published: December 2024

This study aims to compare manual calibration methods with automated calibration methods based on the Internet of Things (IoT) for scale weights, in accordance with the OIML R-51-1:2006 standards. The research employs three distinct types of scale weights: Cylindrical Knob, Cylindrical Hook Weight, and Cylindrical Slotted Weight. The comparison of these calibration methods is carried out using two key metrics: Correction Values and Standard Deviation Analysis. The experimental results indicate a trend where the accuracy of calibration diminishes as the weight of the scale increases. Specifically, when evaluating the three types of scale weights at a nominal test weight of 50 grams, the correction values obtained are relatively small, showing differences of 0.12, 0.1, and 0.02 for Cylindrical Knob, Cylindrical Hook Weight, and Cylindrical Slotted Weight, respectively. These findings suggest that the impact of weight on calibration accuracy is consistent across the types tested. In addition, Standard Deviation Analysis reveals that the IoT-based automated calibration method consistently achieves lower standard deviation values compared to the manual method. This indicates that the automated method provides more consistent and reliable calibration results. Overall, the study concludes that the IoT-based automated calibration method offers a significant improvement in performance over traditional manual methods for all three types of scale weights. This advancement highlights the potential for IoT technology to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of calibration processes in various industrial applications.
