Abstract: The aim of this research is to describe the use of inquiry methods in learning moral beliefs. This inquiry-based learning approach focuses on giving students the freedom to think critically, by giving them the opportunity to find their own information and solve their own problems to provide more interesting learning and make students feel included in the process. Because students must have broad or free connections, inquiry learning is very important for them. Through this learning method, they will gain good and practical ideas, develop group cohesion, and form friendships with other people from different social groups. The method used is a qualitative procedure which includes descriptive and analytical data collection. The results of this research are that this inquiry-based learning approach can encourage children to think more critically. The novelty of this research is that students can think independently and take full advantage of their cognitive abilities by using inquiry learning techniques. Therefore, the inquiry learning approach is very beneficial for students because it gives them the opportunity to debate and develop problem solving skills. Keywords:  Inquiry Learning, akidah akhlak Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan penggunaan metode inkuiri dalam pembelajaran akidah akhlak.

Introduction. The significance of peak height velocity (PHV) in screening studies of children and adolescents as the biomarker of the chronobiological status of the population is in the focus of the study. Material and methods. The analysis embraces a significant specter of samples (N=37, literary data), including different ethnoterritorial groups of Russia and former USSR, examined through the vast historical period of second half of XX century – beginning of the XXI century. The analysis of interpopulation variability of the parameter of peak height velocity of growth changes of the average level of height through the adolescence is under discussion – its absolute value (MPHV, cm) and chronological age (APHV, years); intragroup sexual differences of these characteristics are under consideration as well. Results. Dynamic curves of height increase for urban samples from USSR territory, both native populations and Russian, have dome-shaped form, monotonous height increase/gain velocities up to the peak, slump further on. Traditional Mongolian groups and rural Abkhazian show the dynamic curve with descending wavy form. Histograms of intergroup distribution of the parameter APHV both for boys and girls differ from normal Gaussian distribution and gravitate towards double-peak form. Population values of APHV for boys are two and a half years later as compared to girls; MPHV is a more solid parameter, sex differences here are 0.41 cm with boys’ advantage. Factor analysis revealed definite autonomy of the process of pubertal spurt for male and female adolescents: the first factor describes growth activity of boys, the second — of girls (35% and 30% of the total variability of parameters correspondingly). Conclusion. The results allowed to conclude, that the variability of the parameter points to the significant social/anthropogenic base of chronobiological status of the population and independent growth strategies of male and female sexes, which suggests to interpret PHV as the valid and perspective biomarker in population growth studies. @ 2023.

Authors:   Anthropology Department of the Institute of History of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Academic str., 1, 220072, Minsk, Belarus, Boom Yuliya Vyacheslavovna
Published: November 2023

Introduction. The purpose of this work was to study the physical development of modern newborns in rural areas and analyze the influence on their basic anthropometric indicators of such biological factors as the serial number of pregnancy and childbirth, as well as the age of the parents at time of. Materials and methods. Materials on rural children were collected in 2020–2022 in the Baranovichi district of the Brest region of the Republic of Belarus on the basis of the Children's City Clinic in the city of Baranovichi. The method of analyzing outpatient cards was used. A total of 231 newborn histories were studied (120 boys and 111 girls). The main anthropometric characteristics of children (body weight, body length, head circumference and chest circumference), as well as the age of the parents and the number of pregnancies and births in the mother were taken into account. The significance of differences was assessed based on Student's t-test. To conduct a comparative analysis of the dynamics over time of the physical development of newborns, materials from surveys of 1976–1978 were used. Results. The bulk of modern births were women aged 25–34 years (66,6%). More than half of the newborns were born from repeated births – 79,2%. The average age of primiparous women was 25,2±0,7 years, multiparous women – 30,5±0,4. It was found that modern rural newborns had higher average indicators of physical development than newborns of 1976–1978, except for head circumference. Children from repeated births were larger in size, especially boys, in whom the difference reached a statistically significant level. Weak but significant positive correlations were noted between some indicators of the physical development of rural newborns with the age of the parents and the serial number of pregnancy and birth of the mother. Conclusion. Analysis of changes in the main anthropometric indicators of physical development of rural newborns revealed an excess of the average parameters of body weight, body length (p<0,001) and chest circumference in children of both sexes, compared with infants of 1976–1978. Boys had higher basic anthropometric indicators than girls. @ 2023. This work is licensed under a CC BY 4.0 license.

Published: November 2023

Introduction. The study of adiposity in children and adolescents is an important issue in the era of the global epidemic of obesity. Body mass index is the most common, but not the only body fat index. There are also indexes based on waist and hip circumferences. The purpose of this work is to analyze the age variability and correlation between various anthropometric indices and bioimpedance estimates of the percentage of body fat in children and adolescents. Materials and methods. We analyzed the data of children and adolescents of both sexes 7-17 years old, 1885 boys and 1453 girls, collected in the course of cross-sectional anthropological surveys of schoolchildren in Moscow, Arkhangelsk and the Arkhangelsk region. Body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), hip-to-height ratio (HHtR) were calculated. The percentage of fat mass (% FM) was obtained by bioimpedance with the ABC-01 “Medas” device. Correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between indices and %FM. Results and discussion. The paper analyzes the age-related variability of height and weight, BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, WHR, WHtR, HHtR and % FM in children and adolescents of both sexes. Age-related changes in % FM have clear sex differences. In girls, during puberty, there is an accumulation of fat mass, while in boys – its decrease. Body weight, BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, HHtR increase in the process of growth, WHR and WHtR decrease. For all indicators, except for WHR, in boys and girls in younger age groups, correlations with % FM are high and decrease with age, reaching average values. While the correlations of WHR with %FM are weak in all studied age groups. Conclusion. Based on the analysis performed, it is shown that body mass, waist circumference, hip circumference, BMI, WHtR, HHtR are good predictors of relative body fat mass, they significantly correlate with % FM, while WHR correlates very weakly. @ 2023.

On the relative accuracy of the skull sex estimation
Authors:   Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkamera) RAS, Department of Physical Anthropology, Universitetskaya emb., 3, Saint Petersburg, 199034, Russia, Shirobokov Ivan Grigorievich
Published: November 2023

Introduction. There are no fewer than two hundred algorithms for sex estimation based on cranial morphology, relying on statistical analysis of non-metric, linear, angular traits, and their combinations. Nevertheless, many physical anthropologists prefer to rely on visual observations. The objectives of this research encompass exploring potential reasons behind the preference for a visual approach and conducting an analysis of the comparative effectiveness of visual and statistical methods for sex estimation. Materials and methods. The study is grounded in an analysis of publications related to methods of sex estimation based on cranial traits, spanning the past 70 years. Comparison of accuracy estimates was conducted using non-parametric tests, considering differences in statistical methods, validation approaches (no validation, cross-validation, independent test), and variable types (non-metric traits, craniometry, geometric morphometrics). Results. General reasons for skepticism towards algorithms include unrealistic expectations regarding their capabilities, greater susceptibility to errors by models compared to humans, lack of control over classification. However, algorithms generally surpass experts in predicting the target variable. The average accuracy of visual sex estimations based on cranial traits is slightly lower than the estimates of statistical models and exhibits noticeable variability. The accuracy of estimations made by experienced anthropologists is comparable to the average performance of models. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of algorithms significantly diminishes when applied to datasets originating from sources other than the training set, particularly when dealing with craniometric traits. In a substantial portion of studies, the size of the training datasets is insufficient for a reliable assessment of model effectiveness, and the sex distribution is skewed towards male skulls, leading to some inflation of the accuracy of their estimates. Model effectiveness can also decline due to errors in the evaluation of non-metric traits, and the assessment of inter-researcher discrepancies does not allow for an evaluation of their impact on model accuracy. Conclusion. Despite an extensive bibliography, there remains a lack of data on both the accuracy of the visual approach to sex estimation and the reliability of models with claimed high effectiveness. The adoption of flexible methodologies enabling researchers to independently control both variable selection and the composition of the training set will help overcome algorithm aversion and enhance the quality of estimates. @ 2023.

The functional medicine significance of omega 6 to omega 3 ratio
Authors:   Korean Institute for Functional Medicine, Jung Susie
Published: November 2023

Omega-6 fatty acids and omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids, which should be consumed and supplemented for the functioning of our bodies. The absolute essential fatty acids are linolenic acid and alpha-linolenic acid. However, considering the low conversion rate in vivo and their enzyme activity depending on individual genotype and disease condition, direct intake of gamma-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid is important. Requirements for essential fatty acids may vary from person to person. This means that the omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acid pathways compete to use the same enzymes, the modern Western diet focuses on omega-6 fats, and stress, aging, menopause, and relative deficiencies cause increased inflammation and decreased enzyme activity. The important thing is to consume or supplement fatty acids in a balanced manner rather than supplementing just one kind of 'healthy' fatty acid. Fatty acid imbalance is not a single problem but is complex and organically intertwined, so it usually causes complex problems. Excessive supplementation of one fatty acid can worsen the deficiency of other fatty acids, so wisdom is needed to supplement by checking blood omega-3 index and clinical evidence that can provide appropriate evidence.

Currently, the level of development of social, production and market infrastructure in agriculture remains very low, which has led to the devastation of Ukrainian villages and, as a result, to the disruption and decline of the reproductive process in the agro-industrial complex. Therefore, the formation and development of infrastructure is a necessary condition for the effective interaction of the subjects of primary and secondary production and contributes to the creation of general prerequisites for the growth and development of agricultural production. The article examines the management of infrastructural development of rural communities. The functions of the village infrastructure, state programs for the development of rural communities were considered. It is necessary to continue to work on state programs and projects, to improve the process of financing and control over its implementation in order to ensure their effectiveness, to take care of the sustainable development of the infrastructure of rural communities, to create new jobs, and to attract investments in the agricultural sector. The shortcomings of the development of the infrastructure of the village were studied. The interrelationship of production, social, and organizational-management aspects of village development and the interrelationship of the infrastructural complex of rural areas are schematically displayed. Increasing the level of control functions in unitary enterprises takes place in three stages: municipal level, regional level, interregional level). The socio-economic development of rural communities is analyzed. The number of the rural population for 2018-2022 has significantly decreased, the state of the labor market has worsened, the number of productive livestock has decreased, and the total area of residential buildings put into operation increased. To solve the problems of rural infrastructure development, it is necessary to train production personnel, experts and young scientists, as well as to develop special standards for training specialists to work with rural infrastructure equipment.

Nowadays of economic development, the problem of increasing the competitiveness of enterprises is becoming particularly urgent. This is explained by the increase in the intensity of development of all processes of the economic environment, the change in factors influencing the external environment as a result of the growth of globalization processes, and the increase in the risk of foreign economic activity. Achieving a competitive position on the market is the main task of the enterprise, as it proves the increase in the volume of product sales, the reduction of non-productive expenses and the improvement of the efficiency of the expenses incurred, the formation of intellectual and personnel potential, high investment and innovation activity and financial stability. Therefore, being competitive for an enterprise means operating on the market, making a profit, and performing fiscal and social functions before the state. The purpose of the article is to theoretically substantiate the issues of competitiveness management and develop recommendations for improving the competitiveness management of the analyzed enterprise. In order to achieve the set goal, the following tasks were solved in the article: the study of the theoretical foundations of the competitiveness of the enterprise; analysis of the activity of the analyzed enterprise; development and substantiation of measures to manage the competitiveness of the analyzed enterprise. The object of the study is the process of managing the competitiveness of the enterprise. The subject of the research is theoretical, scientific-methodical and practical aspects of managing the competitiveness of the enterprise. To achieve the goal, methods of scientific knowledge, analysis and synthesis, methods of comparison and generalization were used. When performing the work, a systemic approach was used, which involves considering the analyzed enterprise as an open system consisting of a set of interdependent elements united to achieve a defined goal under the conditions of the influence of the external environment. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the development of recommendations for managing the competitiveness of the analyzed enterprise.

Authors:   State University of Trade and Economics, Duginets Ganna , Moravska Inha ,   Lyceum of Politics, Economics, Law and Foreign Languages, LLC
Published: November 2023

Since the end of the twentieth century, the intensification of globalization processes has led to the transformation of the global education market, which takes the form of cross-border education. These processes contribute to the intensification of educational competition, which encourages countries to increase their international competitiveness, including by combining national cultural identity and international standards of educational services. Primary and secondary education institutions, one of the main components that form the system of values and beliefs in society, are the first to involve their students in the international environment. Strengthening the involvement of Ukrainian educational institutions in these processes is especially relevant in the context of preserving and developing the demographic potential of our country as one of the critical factors in the strategy of rebuilding the Ukrainian economy in the context of full-scale armed aggression by rf. Given the global experience of comparing the efficiency of educational institutions of different ownership forms, the concentration on private educational institutions is relevant. The analysis of the peculiarities of the transformation of the private segment of educational services in recent years and the study of foreign internationalization practices in general secondary education confirms the growing competition in the market of educational services, which forces institutions to improve the quality of educational services through the implementation of an effective model of internationalization of educational institutions. It is proposed to use foreign experience to address the issue of reducing teacher turnover and increasing the capacity of internationalization of Ukrainian secondary education institutions: transition from a school of knowledge to a school of competencies; personalization of education; facilitating access to national and international scientific infrastructures at the state level; deepening cooperation with the scientific diaspora; development of a mechanism for international mobility of teachers of Ukrainian secondary education institutions by the Ministry of Education and Science.

Published: November 2023

In the context of intense competition and dynamic market shifts, communication infrastructure is pivotal for marketing positioning and enterprise adaptation. Considering technological innovations and stakeholder needs, effective communication becomes crucial for achieving strategic objectives and securing competitive advantages. The article aims to develop the theoretical and methodological foundations for ensuring mutual complementarity of the subject areas of enterprise performance management and formation of its marketing and communication policy and also to develop a methodological approach to deploying the contour of reflexive control of enterprise performance communication support. The foundation for achieving the set objective is the hypothesis regarding the potential enhancement of enterprise performance based on rationalizing its marketing-communication strategy. To substantiate the core hypothesis, a domain for developing marketing-communication infrastructure for managing an enterprise's performance has been delineated, and a set of refining assumptions has been formulated. The methodological foundation for substantiating this hypothesis is based on the monographic and deductive reasoning methods. The primary types of enterprise efficiency have been systematized, highlighting their characteristics through crucial indicators concerning marketing communications. A structure for enterprise performance management has been proposed, within which communication support is distinctly outlined. The management system is described as a tuple that encompasses the subject and object of marketing management, a set of goals and performance indicators, a list of management tools, and a description of their implementation support. The directions for implementing a company's marketing communication strategy have been identified, and the tools for each order have been systematically categorized. Each of these directions is considered an element in ensuring an effective management system. Communication policy implementation tools have been categorized in the context of various types of enterprise performance and business processes.

The proposed decomposition model of the system analysis of the management of a gas production enterprise makes it possible to implement a universal approach to the modeling of any management system of an enterprise, in particular a gas production enterprise, and makes it possible to consider three key elements: organizational elements, which include the subject of management, the object of management and external the environment of the gas production enterprise; oriented interactions between organizational elements (it is necessary to note that the direction of interaction is significant and has a clear character), which can be information-management {IC} or material (raw) {M(C)} and the characteristics of interactions, namely: information interaction – these can be certain documents, acts and other (D), for material – finished products (GP) or raw materials (C). The decomposition model of the system analysis of the management of the gas production enterprise allows to increase the control over the process of system analysis and the adoption of management decisions made by the system manager. Also, it simplifies the process of feedback interaction between the object of management and the subject of management and makes it possible to quickly react to an ineffective result. Also, a classification of the interaction between the organizational elements of the gas production enterprise management system model is proposed: 1) positive interaction and negative interaction, this type of interaction reflects the existing (positive) or absent (negative) interaction between the organizational elements of the gas production enterprise management system model; 2) smoothed interaction and threshold interaction (single-level and multi-level), where the smoothed interaction reflects the uniformity of the organizational elements of the gas production enterprise management system model, and the threshold interaction reflects the hierarchy of interaction between the organizational elements of the gas production enterprise management system model; 3) one-way interaction and two-way interaction, where one-way interaction reflects a clear subordination of feedback, while the interaction can be either vertical or horizontal with direction detailing, and two-way interaction assumes that at least two organizational elements of the gas production enterprise management system model must interact; 4) rapid interaction, restraining interaction and preventive interaction.

The tourism cluster is one of the effective tools for the development of the tourism industry, which is based on the interaction of tourism enterprises with scientific and research institutions and with public organizations and state and local authorities. The signs of the functioning of tourist clusters were studied, such as improving the activities of tourist enterprises by modernizing the market infrastructure; use of new knowledge in the process of providing tourist services; improvement of access to global markets; development due to additional investments; increasing the competitiveness of enterprises due to the increase in their incomes; improving the quality of management; effective use of resources of tourist enterprises and improvement of the quality of tourist services for consumers; creation of new jobs in the tourism industry and concentration of business activity of business entities. The advantages of the functioning of these associations were noted, in particular, the improvement of conditions for competition between cluster participants, their possession of various options for improving the effectiveness of activities, free exchange of information within the cluster, improvement of procedures for the implementation of tourist services and easier access to resources. The article presents a model of the formation and activity of enterprises within tourism clusters, which is based on the state policy aimed at the coordination and professional management of the work of this association. The effect of this policy is reflected in such performance indicators as resource efficiency, customer orientation, workforce efficiency and profitability, infrastructure, and marketing indicators. It is argued that the totality of these indicators can give an idea of what the state policy should be aimed at in terms of the functioning of tourist clusters in Ukraine, taking into account the peculiarities of the current state of its development.

High utility pattern mining is an analytical approach used to identify sets of items that exceed a specific threshold of utility values. Unlike traditional frequency-based analysis, this method considers user-specific constraints like the number of units and benefits. In recent years, the importance of making informed decisions based on utility patterns has grown significantly. While several utility-based frequent pattern extraction techniques have been proposed, they often face limitations in handling large datasets. To address this challenge, we propose an optimized method called improving the efficiency of Distributed Utility itemsets mining in relation to big data (IDUIM). This technique improves upon the Distributed Utility item sets Mining (DUIM) algorithm by incorporating various refinements. IDUIM effectively mines item sets of big datasets and provides useful insights as the basis for information management and nearly real-time decision-making systems. According to experimental investigation, the method is being compared to IDUIM and other state algorithms like DUIM, PHUI-Miner, and EFIM-Par. The results demonstrate the IDUIM algorithm is more efficient and performs better than different cutting-edge algorithms.
