Authors: Alić Fahrudin , Bečulić Hakija , Jusić Aldin , Skomorac Rasim , Moranjkić Mirza , Hrvat Lejla , Tandir Lejla
Published: April 2024

Aim
To emphasize the importance of early recognition, diagnostic processing and emergent surgical treatment of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH).
Methods
A 39-year-old female presented with sudden onset of severe pain between the shoulder blades followed by paraparesis and alerted sensibility in the lower extremities. An hour later she developed paraplegia with sensory deficits below ThIV level, absence of patellar reflex, ankle jerk reflex and sphincter dysfunction.
Results
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated acute extensive epidural mass of thoracic spinal segments (ThI-ThIII).
The patient underwent emergent decompressive laminectomy ThI-ThIII with epidural hematoma evacuation within 24 hours of symptoms onset. After the surgical treatment, because of suspicion on spinal arteriovenous malformation, complete diagnostic evaluation with spinal angiography was done and no form of vascular malformation was found. Idiopathic SSEH was diagnosed. Two months later the patient reached complete neurological improvement.
Conclusion
 The SSEH is a rare condition that should be kept in mind in patients presenting with neurological deficit and a sudden
onset of back pain like it was in our case. For early diagnosis, immediate MRI is essential. Prompt surgical decompression such as laminectomy is an absolute surgical indication widely accepted for patients with progressive neurological deficit. The SSEH should be considered as one of the important differential diagnoses in patients who have developed acute myelopathy.

Authors: Sulejmanpašić Gorana , Fišeković Saida , Drnda Senad
Published: April 2024

Aim
To compare morphologic variations of occipital sulci patterns in patients with schizophrenia and migraine headache regarding gender and laterality using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and visual evoked potentials (VEPs) as well as damage of visual pathway in patients with schizophrenia.
Methods
 This study included 80 patients. Brain scans and visual evoked potential responses recorded over the occipital cortex were performed to analyze the occipital region of both hemispheres. Average total volumes of both hemispheres and average values of latency of the healthy population were used for comparison.
Results
There was statistically significant difference between subjects considering gender (p=0.012). Parameters of body of the
calcarine sulcus (p=0.0325) showed statistically significant positive correlation with P100 latency (p=0.0449), inferior sagittal sulcus (p=0.0443) had significant positive correlation with P100 latency (p=0,0413), lateral occipital sulcus (p=0.0411) and P100 latency (p=0.0321) showed statistically significant difference only of left hemisphere in male patients with schizophrenia with shallower depth of the sulcus and P100 latency prolongation.
Conclusion
The consistency of the findings reveals distinct multiple brain regions, which show changes in the gray matter of patients with chronic forms of schizophrenia. The neurocognitive deficits of schizophrenia show highly consistent cross-sectional
relationships to each type of functional outcome.

Aim
To investigate a correlation between cervical canal infection and imminent preterm labor and to identify most frequent pathogens.
Methods
 A prospective study was conducted in obstetrics/gynecology departments of Health Center and the University Clinical
Center Tuzla, and General Hospital Tešanj (Bosnia and Herzegovina, B&H) between October 2013 and May 2014. An examined group included 50 healthy pregnant women with singleton pregnancy of the gestation age between the 28th and 37th week, with cervical changes that are related to imminent preterm labor. Changes were detected by ultrasound biometry of cervix and modified Bishop score. A control group included 30 healthy pregnant women with singleton pregnancy of the gestation age between the 28th and 37th week of pregnancy without signs of imminent preterm labor. Cervical mucus was microbiologically analyzed for identification of pathogens.
Results
 The infection in cervical canal was proven in 35 (70%) examinees and four (13%) patients from the control group (p=0.015). In seven (20%) cases each Ureaplasma and Mycoplasma were detected followed by E. coli in five (14%) cases (p=0.001).
Conclusion
Cervical canal infection is associated with changes on cervix and premature rupture of fetal membranes, i.e. preterm
labor and imminent preterm labor. Screening for infection before pregnancy should be the main task of family doctors as well as gynecologists.
Placebo and nocebo effects and their significance in clinical practice
Authors: Klarić Miro , Mandić Vjekoslav , Lovrić Sanjin , Krešić Ćorić Martina , Zovko Nikolina
Published: April 2024

Most people have heard of the placebo effect, while relatively few have heard of nocebo, even within the circles of medical staff. Placebo effect means positive results by treatment via pharmacological inert substances. In contrast to placebo, by nocebo effect, due to negative beliefs and expectations, opposite results are achieved. Said in a more formal manner, what a sick person expects, unfortunately, he/she most often gets.

It is a fact that a high number of medical staff is still uninterested in placebo and nocebo effects, although they would benefit from them. Maybe this is because the treatment would not seem “scientific enough”. However, the newest scientific evidence undoubtedly shows that placebo and nocebo effects arise out of very active neurobiological processes intervened by psychological mechanisms such as expectations and conditions. Regardless of whether or not the doctor or the patient are aware of this, placebo and nocebo effects are extremely powerful and represent a significant part of the treatment process, in treatment by methods of ancient cultures, as well as in modern medicine. Of course medicines hold their role, but understanding how the human mind processes information is also very important.

Coaching soccer requires strategies, these being frequently established for the development of game principles. The aim of the study was to analyze the periodization of game principles and coaching strategies preferred by coaches in a soccer youth academy. Eight coaches of a Brazilian elite soccer club participated through semi-structured interviews; a field diary was also used. Data was conducted through content analysis. The results shows that the investigated coaches prioritize the establishment of soccer principles through game practice and deliberate practice, highlighting offensive principles based on the ball conservation and defensive principles concerning the pressure on the opponent; they also consider the philosophy of the club and their personal preferences for organizing the coaching process. Thus, it is relevant that the organization of the game principles consider the social context of the club and the beliefs and preferences of the coaches, who should also consider the club's planning and the youth's learning and the game context in the application of the contents.

Published: April 2024

This article is a contribution to the explanation of the hegemonic sports discourse as an external reality of politics and the State. To do so, the philosophical, ethical and historical principles are expounded, which propose the existence of internal goods in the practice of sport, enunciating sporting objectives as a political translation. Firstly, an explanation of the basic principles of Broad Internalism is given, whose task is the essential definition of sport, which is found in its exposition of moral and physical excellence in terms of Aristotelian virtuosity. Furthermore, it chooses to relate the principles of modern sportsmanship to Thomas Arnold, Aristotelian Christianity in order to establish the basis of sporting moral internal goods. Finally, the political and legal fit of sport and its connection to the approaches described above is presented.

La lengua y la literatura son instrumentos culturales transmisores de valores que ofrecen múltiples recursos que deben potenciarse en el ámbito docente. El presente proyecto aborda la realidad socio-educativa que hallamos en las clases, esto es, alumnos heterogéneos, muchos de ellos con discapacidades a las que hay que atender de forma grupal, principalmente. Desde esta realidad, la metodología aplicada corresponde, con la libertad que ofrecen, al método de los talleres literarios puesto que, tras diversas experiencias, hemos comprobado que educan al alumnado en la diversidad y en el respeto colectivo. Las abundantes herramientas ofrecidas así como la metodología abordada demuestran la utilidad de integrar las discapacidades de forma motivadora y creativa sin olvidar aspectos fundamentales del currículum educativo. El presente proyecto, apoyado en un método y unos recursos motivadores, brinda al docente una creativa intervención didáctica que ofrece excelentes resultados.Language and Literature are cultural instruments, transmitters of values that offer multiple possibilities as resources that must be promoted in the educational area. This present project approaches the socio-educational reality that we find in classes, that is, heterogeneous pupils, many of them with disabilities to which it is necessary to attend to as a group, mainly. From this reality, the applied methodology concerns, with the freedom that the use of literary workshops offer since, after several experiences, we have verified that they allow to educate the student in diversity and in collective respect. The abundance of resources offered, as well as the method used, demonstrate the usefulness of integrating disabilities in a motivating and creative form without forgetting fundamental aspects of the educational curriculum. What is considered to be a problem, probably for the lack of a concrete approach supported by appropriate methodology and resources, turns into a creative educational intervention that offers good results.

Published: April 2024

This paper analyzes the results obtained in a census-based English as a foreign language reading comprehension test administered in relation to exposure of different genres and (un)favourable school contexts. The test was administered to the students in their last year of secondary education in schools that belong to the municipal state in Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2016.First, we present a summary of the design and implementation processes of the criterion referenced test and the general results of the census. Then, we contrast the results obtained in two groups of schools. In one group we include two institutions located in relatively favoured communities and in the other, two institutions of underprivileged contexts. We also examine the impact of reading experiences in terms of frequency of exposure to different genres and the students´ attitudes towards the learning of foreign languages.In the present study no correlation has been found between the conditions of the school context, the exposure to different text types and the levels of performance in the test results.

Whole-genome CRISPR Screening of stably expressing Cas9 Cancer Organoid Lines v1
Authors: Fowler Tessa , Smith Jade , Jackson Adam , Souster Emily , Rogers Hazel
Published: April 2024

This protocol is for whole-genome CRISPR screening of stably expressing Cas9 cancer organoid lines in triplicate using the commercially available minimal genome-wide human CRISPR Cas9 library. The protocol uses lentiviral transduction as a method for gRNA delivery. This method can be adapted for other gRNA libraries. The protocol can be followed assuming the following is known: - The number of days required for screening - The size of the gRNA library - The required coverage of the library To allow for efficient scale up of the organoid culture for screen, a 5% suspension culture method can be used. This is not essential to be able to perform whole-genome CRISPR screening of stably expressing Cas9 cancer organoid lines, but provides a more scalable, ergonomic and cost efficient culturing method. Prior to commencing the screen a puromycin antibiotic titration is used to identify the most suitable puromycin concentration for the selection of Cas9 positive cancer organoid lines transduced with gRNA library virus. A gRNA library titration is then performed to determine the volume of library virus required to transduce Cas9 cancer cells at 30% transduction efficiency which is calculated using FACS analysis. This is to avoid host cells taking up more than one gRNA copy per cell, therefore an MOI of 30% should be aimed for. Process Diagram This protocol uses a 21-23 day screen process.

Mo'orea Surf Tourism Research Protocol v1
Authors: Ryan Dartland Flynn
Published: April 2024

This protocol describes a method of understanding the attitudes of Mo'orea locals towards the development of surf tourism on the island of Mo'orea, French Polynesia. The research involves interviewing local surfers, residents, and business owners to assess their opinions on surf tourism development. These locals will then be brought together to create a potential plan for surf tourism development on Mo'orea that is sustainable for them. The research is designed to facilitate locals taking the lead on surf tourism development, rather than have foreign entities dictate Mo'orea's surf tourism future. Questions that will be asked to locals during interviews: Each interview would consist of three general questions: How do you envision surf tourism developing in Mo’orea in the next 10 years? What would a sustainable surf tourism industry in Mo’orea look like to you? How does surf tourism impact your life currently and how will it continue to impact your life in the future? If the interviewee expresses interest or concern about facilitating surf tourism on Mo’orea, I would then ask these follow-up questions as appropriate: When do you expect or want visiting surfers to visit Mo’orea? Where do you think visiting surfers will stay on Mo’orea? How do you expect visiting surfers to access the surf breaks (Boat, kayak, paddle?) If the interviewee expresses interest or concern about the environmental impacts of surf tourism on Mo’orea, I would then ask these follow-up questions as appropriate: How do you foresee surf tourism having an impact on reef and ocean health? Can surf tourism be a platform for environmental protection and if so, how?

De la pasión por la ignorancia al bien-decir del sujeto: abordaje psicoanalítico del afecto depresivo
Authors:   Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, Dasuky Samir , Piedrahita Gaviria Daniela ,   Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana
Published: April 2024

El psicoanálisis entiende el afecto depresivo como un síntoma del sujeto. Bajo esta premisa se propone un abordaje a partir de su ética, la cual consiste en darle la palabra al sujeto, encontrándose en el afecto depresivo con la objeción al bien-decir. Se busca comprender la función que cumple la posición del analista como acceso a la ética del bien-decir en sujetos con afecto depresivo. Se concluye que es a partir de la posición del analista, que está en el lugar de agente haciendo semblante de objeto a, que puede darse la puesta en marcha del discurso analítico en el cual el analizante pueda alcanzar a un bien-decir, permitiendo el restablecimiento de la causa de deseo y la posibilidad de establecer otra relación con lo real.

Authors:   Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care, Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Jalan Yaacob Latif, Bandar Tun Razak, 56000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Published: April 2024

The time to perform an anaesthesia-related procedure at induction and emergence is often overlooked as part of the operation theatre (OT) utilisation time. This prospective observational study aimed to assess the estimation done by the surgeons and anaesthetists on anaesthesia times and the overall OT utilisation in our centre. This prospective observational study included elective cases from 13 surgical disciplines. The trainees, specialists and consultants from surgical and anaesthesia teams estimated the anaesthesia times separately before the surgical procedures. The actual anaesthesia, surgical, total procedural and turnover durations taken to complete the cases were documented. Operation theatre utilisations of those various surgical disciplines involved in the study were also analysed. We analysed 128 elective cases. The average mean time spent for anaesthesia procedures was 28.4 ± 14.1 min, with the mean induction time was 16.0 ± 9.8 min and the mean emergence time was 12.5 ± 8.6 min. Both anaesthetists and surgeons overestimated the anaesthetic times, but anaesthetists estimated closer to the actual anaesthetic times (r = 0.64 vs r = 0.49, respectively). There was no significant difference in the estimated anaesthetic times between different experience levels. All the surgical disciplines had average OT utilisation exceeding 90%, indicating overutilisation. A total of 12 cases (7.1%) were cancelled. Most cases were cancelled due to exceeded allocated block OT times (7 cases) or unavailability of ICU beds (2 cases). We concluded that OTs exceeding the given OT time is the most frequent reason for cancelling elective surgical cases on the day of surgery.

The scientific literature has already demonstrated the benefits of romantic love as a key protective factor in the prevention of violence. Some recent publications affirm that romantic love is a powerful cause of gender violence following two steps. First, they attribute a list of causes of violence to romantic love calling them “the myths of romantic love”, including lack of freedom and the normalization of coercion. Nonetheless, research has not explored in depth yet whether what they call “romantic love myths” are consubstantial characteristics of romantic love or not. To that end, this study conducts a historical literature review of scientific articles, books, literary and musical works from diverse cultures and periods. Findings show those myths are not characteristics of romantic love; on the contrary, the literature reviewed shows six main characteristics of romantic love that demonstrate it is the opposite of those myths, as it has freed women from feudal and other subjugations throughout history.
Who Wants To Share? Attitudes Towards Horizontal Redistribution Across the Globe
Authors: Stewart Frances , Langer Arnim , Kuppens Line
Published: April 2024

While recent literature has extensively addressed inequalities between households or individuals, known as “vertical inequalities,” there remains a dearth of research on socio‐economic disparities among culturally defined groups, termed “horizontal inequalities” (HIs). In diverse societies, addressing such group disparities is imperative to promote economic efficiency, political stability, and social cohesion. This thematic issue investigates the level of public support for HI‐correcting policies across nine contexts: Brazil, South Africa, Nigeria, Malaysia, Kenya, Western Balkans, India, the United States, and Northern Ireland. The articles within this issue collectively identify and analyze crucial factors at the individual, group, and national levels. In this editorial, we summarize major findings, reflecting on the salience of group identity across majority and minority contexts, the role of perceptions vs more objective measures of inequality and its causes, and the significance of shifting political climates and societal discourses.
Concept of Fortuna in the Collection of Biographies «De Casibus Virorum Illustrium» by Giovanni Boccaccio
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Hrehul Alina
Published: April 2024

The cult of the goddess Fortune dates back to ancient tradition. In the Middle Ages the allegorical image of Fortune remains popular in literature and everyday life. Authors such as Augustine of Hippo, Boethius, Dante Alighieri and Giovanni Boccaccio used in their works the allegorical image of Fortune, which has special verbal and visual characteristics. The main attention in this paper is focused specifically on the study of Fortune symbolism in the collection of biographies «De Casibus Virorum Illustrium» by G. Boccaccio. In the preface to the collection the humanist outlined the task he set for himself. It consisted in depicting the misfortunes, difficult and fatal fates of legendary and famous figures in history from Adam and Eve to the writer Fr. Petrarch he was contemporary with. In the biographies it is constantly emphasized that Fortune can be unpredictable. The text of «De Casibus Virorum Illustrium» is full of negative characteristics of Fortune, which repeatedly emphasize her fickleness and treachery. The visual representation of Fortuna also has negative connotations, which creates a formidable halo around the allegorical figure. In G. Boccaccio’s description, Fortune appears as a tall woman with a stern look and a gloomy face. On miniatures of the 15th century the goddess is depicted with closed eyes, wings (sometimes multi-armed), a staff, the Wheel of Fortune (Rota Fortunae) or a ship’s rudder. It is important that the characteristics of the humanist do not include the attributes of the goddess of fate. They appear later on miniatures for translations of G. Boccaccio works, which indicates the process of formation of iconographic tradition around the image of Fortune (by the 15th century the Wheel became its main attribute). The collection «De Casibus Virorum Illustrium» was supposed to serve as a warning about the changeability of fate for influential contemporaries of G. Boccaccio and subsequent generations. In the system of that time ideas, following the cardinal virtues of Christian theology (prudence, justice, courage, temperance) guaranteed the favor of Fortune.
Regional features of Ukrainian embroidery: a historiographic overview of the scientific heritage of domestic researchers

Published: April 2024

The article provides a historiographic review of the scientific heritage of domestic researchers devoted to the study of regional features of Ukrainian embroidery (vyshyvka). It was found that this problem aroused scientific interest among researchers already in the 70s of the 19th century, in particular in the works of Khv. Vovk and O. Kosach. It is stated that it was O. Kosach (Olena Pchilka) who was one of the founders of the study of Ukrainian embroidery and ornamentation as an ethnographic phenomenon. The authors emphasize that for quite a long time the terms «vyshyvka» and «vyshyvanka» were ignored in encyclopedic editions, but the situation changed after the Orange Revolution and especially after the Revolution of Dignity. The main attention of the authors is focused on the informative and analytical material of the scientific work of different generations of researchers who studied the Ukrainian embroidered towel, as well as women’s and men’s vyshyvanka. It was concluded that the scientific output of researchers, which reveals various aspects of this problem, includes hundreds of articles and dozens of monographs. The authors found out that the regional peculiarities of Ukrainian embroidery relate not only to the technique of decoration, ornamentation, color range, but also to its role and significance as a talisman and place in the national ceremonial culture, however, at the same time it is claimed that, in addition to the already well-known factual and analytical information, today there are still many little-known and little-researched aspects of this multifaceted scientific problem that require both further study and generalization.
The Lost Elements of Ukrainian Baroque Architectural Monuments of Kyiv
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Tretiak Kyrylo
Published: April 2024

The article is dedicated to the research of the loss of important architectural and compositional elements in Kyiv architectural monuments of the Ukrainian Baroque of the XVIIth – XVIIIth centuries. The author analyzes the architectural development of such Kyiv buildings as the Onufriivska Tower and the Church of Conception of Ann of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, the Resurrection Church, the st. Illia Church, the Temple of Nikolas, the Intercession Church, the Old Building of the Kyiv-Mohyla academy, cookhouse and Church of the Holy Spirit of the Brotherly Epiphany Monastery, St. Sophia Cathedral, Church of the Ascension of the Phlor’s Monastery. All these objects have common destiny because of loss of their important Baroque details during XVIII–XIX centuries. Instead, they gained the forms of other styles, which did not detract from the national signs of these monuments. Such changes were made for various reasons: changes in fashion and styles in architecture, functional and utilitarian needs. However, such transformations were often anti-Ukrainian in nature, and they even ended up replacing Ukrainian symbols with Moscow ones. Let us highlight this very incident with the butt of the story: the reconstruction of the St. Sophia Cathedral in 1882. This unique monument and shrine was adorned with characteristic elements of the Ukrainian Baroque – sloping pediments on western and eastern façades. In fact, the temple was redecorated with elements of Byzantine and Russian architecture. During the Soviet time, the practice of replacing Ukrainian architectural symbols with Russian ones continued. Let us illustrate this with the example of the Ascension Cathedral of the Phlor’s Monastery in Podil. For a long time, researches did not pay attention on such a facts, but now it is time to restore justice to our national symbols. In the author’s opinion, today it is necessary to carry out in-depth research on historical monuments with a view to developing a concept and developing large-scale restoration projects that would restore their original beauty and completeness.

Published: April 2024

Based on textual and linguistic analysis of the works of Stepan Nos and Danylo Mordovets, the article examines the issue of ethnic history and culture, traditions and life, characters and worldview of the inhabitants of different regions of Ukraine. The article highlights the peculiarities of the formation of ethnographers interests, analyses the intellectual environment, leading factors and prerequisites that influenced their formation as artists of their time. Their priority issues, plot fabric, key areas of journalistic practices, stylistic features and other characteristic features of literary narratives are highlighted. A comparative analysis of the ethnographic texts of the writers is carried out, and their dominant feature is determined. The attention is focused on the means of linguistic expressiveness of S. Nos and D. Mordovets works, their interpretation of certain periods of our history and the role of the individual in their development. It’s noted that both artists collected, recorded and published materials of their own ethnographic research, including songs, poems, fairy tales, proverbs, sayings, which best reflect the mental traits of Ukrainians, their traditional culture and rituals. Based on a comparison of the selected works by S. Nos and D. Mordovets, the author identifies their common features in the description and interpretation of traditional rituals, outlines the semantic and linguistic content of their works, which contributes to the construction of the artists’ image in the time range. It’s summarised that the «linguistic decoration» of the writers texts acts as a self-presentation of the authors’ personalities, and psychologism contributes to the understanding of the nationality of Ukrainians. It’s proved that Ukrainian folk art has been and remains the main identifier of Ukrainian national culture.
«The Troubadours of the Peasantry»: the Historical Parallels of Literary Creativity of J. L. Runeberg & T. H. Shevchenko
Authors:   The Research Center of Finland in Ukraine, Kovaliov Denys
Published: April 2024

The article details the issue of the main poetic works of the Swedish-speaking Finnish writer J. Ru­neberg and his Ukrainian colleague T. Shevchenko, in which the simple, working people, mainly the illiterate peasantry, are glorified. The subject of careful study by both writers is the historical fate and national character of plowmen: Finns and Ukrainians. There has been proven that the ideas of the Romantic era, brought by the revolutionary whirlwind from Western and Central Europe also had a special influence on their work, which is noticeable in the terms imbued with a keen sense of humanism towards people and frank free-thinking. It was emphasized that the cited poems of the figures of the national Finnish and Ukrainian movements – J. Runeberg and T. Shevchenko – reflect the daily life of the masses, a critical attitude to reality and primary attention to the psychology of the individual and his inner world, as well as a significant expansion of genre boundaries. It has been convinced and determined that the hard, productive work of J. Runeberg contributed to the expansion of the Fennomans’ social base with a focus exclusively on the Finnish-speaking poor population of rural areas and suburbs. Quite naturally that the situation in Naddnipryanshchyna was qualitatively different: for a long time, Ukrainian national activists, except for T. Shevchenko, consciously focused almost exclusively on science, literature, and journalism, without paying much attention to the education of their compatriots and the subjectivization of society, which directly influenced the misunderstanding by the masses of the principles of the proclaimed national idea. It is emphasized, that the main goal of both studied «pen masters» of the middle of the 19th century shows examples worthy of imitation; to awaken in the people a feeling of love for the homeland: Finland and Ukraine, which were under the rule of the Romanov monarchy. There is also mentioned the influence of the ideas of Romanticism, which contributed to the formation of a new system of values and worldview among J. Runeberg and T. Shevchenko.

Background. The paper deals with the problems of IT project team formation using staff competences assessment. Methods. Multi-agent method based on competences matrix analysis is used. Results. The task of forming a project team to develop and implement IT systems in terms of limiting the number of human resources is described. Based on the definition of competency indicators of employees of the company or contractors involved in the implementation of project work, a method of forming a project team involves analysis of competency matrices. When attracting employees to project work that requires the existing competencies and the appropriate level of these competencies, it is proposed to use the values of the characteristics of staff for the selected functionality. On the example of a company for implementing IT systems, an algorithm for forming a project team based on the values of functional competencies is proposed. Forms for the formation of the structure of project commands according to functional tasks of the project and minimum-admissible levels of sizes of characteristics of qualification for performance of these tasks have been designed. Matrices of elements and indicators of labor resources are constructed to determine the possibilities of involving them in the project teams as executors. An algorithm for generating project team members based on the requirements for project tasks and indicators of human resources competence has been built. The forecast of indicators of the probability of involvement of each separate labor resource in the project team structure for development and introduction of information systems is performed. Сonclusions. With account of the practical implementation of the method, the conclusion is made that proposed method allows one to not only form project teams but also pose problems for the company leadership as to either increasing qualification of their staff or searching for new personnel with proper qualifications.

Representation of a minor is one of the elements of parental authority of parents over a child, together with custody of the child’s person and property. The subject of this article is the regulation of aspects of the representation of a minor in the Family and Guardianship Code and its limitations. Due to the principle of the child’s good, which has the character of a superior principle in Polish family law, the norms concerning the child’s representation should be created with particular care, as they directly affect the legal situation of a minor. A dogmatic method has been applied with the use of an analysis of case law and international norms contained in the European Convention on the Exercise of Children’s Rights. In conclusion, the authors also analyse and evaluate the planned amendment of the Family and Guardianship Code in comparison with the provisions in force. It is concluded that the regulations contained in the Family and Guardianship Code not only protect the interests of the child, but also meet the requirements of the European Convention on the Exercise of the rights of the child.

The adoption procedure, the framework of which is determined by the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure, is based on the principle of protecting the welfare of the minor. Almost every action required during this process requires securing his interest. The above is part of the scope of research covered by this article and boils down to the identification of challenges related to the implementation of the rights and obligations of participants in adoption proceedings in accordance with the protection of the minor’s interest. The presented research problem is important primarily because of the legal position of the adopted child. The purpose of the publication is to conduct a value judgment of ways and forms of protection of the interests of minors analysed based on the provisions on civil procedure. The research methodology used in the article is largely based on the dogmatic and legal method consisting in the linguistic and logical analysis of legal texts. The result of its implementation is obtaining the proper meaning of the interpreted legal text in terms of the language in which the text is formulated. The use of this method is the basis for the conducted research, based on which objectively accepted conclusions will be drawn. Assuming the above assumptions of the research problem and the research methods used, the thesis was adopted for the purposes of this article that the legislator protects the interests of minors in the adoption procedure based on the regulations of the Code of Civil Procedure.

Published: April 2024

В статье представлен анализ функционирования современного школьного музея в контексте глубокой цифровизации и методичного развития персонализированной образовательной среды. Предложены три концептуальные траектории развития музейного пространства в современной школе: 1) развитие специальных школьных пространств для музейной и библиотечной деятельности с точки зрения персонализации образовательной деятельности, раскрытие потенциала музея как центра для совместной внеурочной деятельности не только учащихся, но и жителей города; 2) наполнение музея артефактами, отвечающих критериям музейной ценности и сопровождение их информацией в цифровом виде; 3) создание цифрового музея как первый этап формирования будущего музейно-выставочного пространства с перспективой наполнения музея реальными экспонатами. Сделан вывод о необходимости цифровизации деятельности школьного музея, который может вести как коммуникативную, так и учебную, научную и просветительскую деятельность.

The article analyzes the activities of modern school museums along the path of deep digitalization and the methodical development of personalized educational environment. Three conceptual trajectories of museum space development in modern school are proposed: 1) development of special school spaces for museum and library activities in the framework of personalization of educational activity, development of the museum potential as a center for joint extracurricular activities not only for schoolchildren but also for city residents; 2) filling the museum with artifacts that meet the criteria of museum value and providing the necessary digital information; 3) creating a digital museum as the first stage of formation of the future museum-exhibition space with perspective of filling the museum with real exhibits. The conclusion is made that it is necessary to digitize the activities of the school museum, which allows to expand the activities of the museum as a center of communicative, educational and research activities.
INDIVIDUAL VALUES AND ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOUR
Authors: Мдивани М.О.
Published: April 2024

Большое количество исследований посвящено вопросу о том, чем объясняются индивидуальные различия в отношении к окружающей среде и поведении. Экологическое поведение может включать личное потребительское поведение, поведение в поездках и использование транспорта, переработку отходов, использование ресурсов, а также активное участие в экологических организациях. Различные объяснительные модели применялись с разной степенью успеха. В статье рассмотрены наиболее популярные концепции ценностей, используемые для объяснения проэкологического поведения людей: система ценностей Шварца, концепция ценностных ориентаций и теория ценностной основы заботы о природе. В рамках современных взглядов на реляционные ценности предложено использование экопсихологических взаимодействий для объяснения экологически ответственного поведения.

A large body of research has addressed the question of what explains individual differences in environmental attitudes and behavior. Environmental behavior may include personal consumption behavior, travel and transportation behavior, recycling, resource use, and active participation in environmental organizations. Various explanatory models have been applied with varying degrees of success. The article examines the most popular concepts of values used to explain pro-environmental behavior of people: Schwartz’s value system, the concept of value orientations and the theory of the value basis of caring for nature. Within the framework of modern views on relational values, the use of ecopsychological interactions has been proposed to explain environmentally responsible behavior.

Почти семьдесят лет прошло со времён знаменитого Джорджтаунского эксперимента, однако вопрос создания качественных систем машинного перевода, позволяющих быстро и качественно выполнить даже не машинный, а автоматизированный перевод, до сих пор стоит очень остро и занимает умы лучших отечественных и зарубежных программистов и филологов. Несмотря на существенный прогресс в данной области, письменный перевод, выполненный с использованием систем машинного перевода, по-прежнему требует со стороны переводчика большой работы по пред- и постредактированию. В статье мы хотим представить наш взгляд на данную проблему с точки зрения специалистов, которым ежедневно приходится выполнять значительные по объёму письменные переводы научно-технической (прежде всего – медицинской) направленности, выделить моменты, которые наиболее часто требуют постредактирования.

Almost seventy years have passed since the famous Georgetown-IBM experiment, however, the issue of creating high-quality machine translation systems that allow you to perform quickly and efficiently not even machine, but automated translation is still very critical and occupies the minds of the best domestic and foreign programmers and philologists. Despite significant progress in this area, a written translation made using machine translation systems still requires a lot of pre- and post-editing work on the part of the translator. In our article, we want to present our view of this problem from the point of view of specialists who daily have to perform significant written translations of scientific and technical (primarily medical) orientation, to highlight the points that most often require post-editing.
