The tempestuous and rapid development of biometric technologies based on both the static and dynamic identification signs of a person could not bypass one of the important spheres of life in modern society – the fight against crime. Most of the solutions related to personal identification by papillary patterns, iris and retina of the eye, drawing of veins on the arm and thermographic face cards are widely used in the access control and management systems, systems for protecting the automated information systems from unauthorized access to information. At the same time, the use of those signs in the investigation and disclosure of crimes is just beginning to be introduced into the activities of the law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation. The use of the information systems in that area can significantly increase the effectiveness of the fight against crime, especially crimes against the person. Of particular interest is the use of data on the phenotypic signs of the suspect in the investigation of crimes, i.e. information about his height, weight, hair color, eyes, skin tone, and blood group. The article discusses the basic principles of creating an automated information system for identifying a person based on biological material left by persons who were present at the crime scene. It defines the complex of organizational and scientific issues that need to be solved when creating a system, ensuring its information security and software implementation. Also it proposes an algorithm for two-stage searching the information stored in the databases of the ISOD (UDS) services, based on modern data processing methods.
SARF AKDİNDE GERÇEKLEŞEN İŞLEMLERİN FIKHİ DURUMU
Authors: ATALAY Arif
Published: November 2021

Toplum canlı bir varlıktır, sürekli bir hareketlilik içindedir ve bu canlılığı sağlayan önemli unsurlardan biri de ekonomidir. Ekonomiyi hareketli kılan can damarlarından birisi de piyasadaki para akışı yani sarf akdinde gerçekleşen işlemlerdir. Sarf akdinde gerçekleşen işlemlerin akümülatörü de paradır. Paranın özellikleri; bütün toplumlarda yapılan mübadelelerde herkes tarafından kabul edilebilen, kendisine has özellikleri ve itibari değeri olan bir değişim aracı olmasıdır. Aslı itibariyle para toplumda mal ve hizmet satın alma işlemlerinin daha kolay ve hızlı sağlaması sebebiyle genel itibariyle kabul görmüştür. Paranın piyasaları canlandırma, iktidar sahibi olma, gelir dağılımını etkileme ve benzeri birçok fonksiyonu bulunmaktadır. Para; homojen, kolayca taklit edilemeyen, herkes tarafından tanınabilen, küçük parçalara bölünebilen, zahmetsizce el değiştirebilen, dayanıklı maddelerden yapılan, herkes tarafından kabul edilen, doğada yeterli miktarda ham maddesi bulunan, rahatlıkla standardize edilebilen özellikte olmalıdır. Paranın parayla satılması işlemine sarf akdi denilir. Sarf akdiyle ilgili olarak iki temel unsur önem arz etmektedir. Bunlardan biri; miktarların “mislen bimislin” yani eşit miktarlarda ve “yeden bi yedin” yani peşin olarak satılmasıdır. Böylece sarf akdi “bat bir akid” olmuş olur. Bir diğer unsur da “borcun borçla satışı” konusudur. Sarf akdi yapan tarafların akid meclisinden ayrılmadan önce bedelleri kabzetmeleri sarf akdinin sıhhati bakımından şart koşulması nas ve icma ile sabittir. Aksi halde akid batıl olur. Zira zimmettekinin zimmettekiyle –borcun borçla- satışı olur. Sarf akdinde her iki bedel de hazır bulunmalıdır. Bu bağlamda günümüzde gerçekleşen sarf işlemlerinden “forex” ve “kaldıraçlı (marjlı) forex işlemleri hakkında da bir değerlendirmede bulunmak önem arz etmektedir. Araştırmamız yapılırken; “karşılıklı rızanın gerçekleşmesi,” “alışverişin helal, faizin haram olması” ilkeleri ve gerçekleştirilen işlemlerin dünyevi karşılığıyla birlikte uhrevi cezasının da bulunduğu dikkate alınmıştır. Araştırmamızın ilk bölümünde paranın tanımı, paranın özellikleri ve fonsiyonları, ikinci bölümünde sarf akdi ve sarf akdinde gerçekleşen işlemler ele alınarak sonuç bölümüyle makalemiz son bulacaktır.
Los que empiezan: el reto pendiente de acompañar a docentes noveles
Authors: Manso Jesús , Garrido-Martos Rocío
Published: November 2021

La iniciación al ejercicio profesional constituye un elemento esencial en la definición, entre otras cuestiones, de las prácticas educativas de los docentes. El profesorado novel debe contar con un acompañamiento, más o menos sistemático, que sirva de conexión entre la formación inicial y su carrera profesional autónoma. Este artículo estudia las percepciones que los docentes de Educación Básica en España tienen sobre su propia iniciación a la docencia, así como su percepción sobre cómo debería ser dicho proceso de inserción al ejercicio profesional. La presente investigación ha seguido un diseño ex post facto. Se ha diseñado un cuestionario ad hoc que cuenta con una validación en cuatro fases, con una muestra de 1148 docentes. Los análisis incluyen tanto estadística descriptiva como inferencial. Los datos muestran, por un lado, el acuerdo de los docentes con la necesidad de poner en marcha mecanismos que sirvan para acompañarlos en sus primeros años de ejercicio. Por otra parte, a pesar de reconocer que la iniciación a la profesión no es buena, indican que sus propias adaptaciones fueron adecuadas y que lo hicieron bien en sus inicios profesionales. A la luz de los resultados, la necesidad de implementar y mejorar el acompañamiento a docentes noveles en España resulta evidente y la situación actual es propicia por el gran consenso que, desde hace años, existe entre el profesorado, la comunidad educativa e incluso los partidos políticos.
Bridge over Troubled Water: Induction pointers for Teacher leadership
Authors: Caena Francesca
Published: November 2021

The first years of teaching are decisive to shape teachers’ motivation and attitudes, as adaptive professionals that respond to fast changing contexts. This career stage should provide acculturation in collaborative professional communities that discuss and tackle growing challenges for learners’ improvement. Induction support can be key for the personal, social, and professional development of beginning teachers, fostering their leadership to influence and initiate practice change. It needs to be flexible and sensitive to specific education contexts, but it benefits from transversal principles grounded on common European policies. Induction should be embedded in a continuum approach that links it to other career stages - relying on broad, common teacher requirements. The COVID 19 crisis has foregrounded the competences teachers require to ensure equitable learning. Among European Key Competences, the Personal, Social and Learning to Learn Competence and the Digital Competence can play a crucial role for teachers grappling with distance teaching and unpredictable professional conditions. While Digital competence is fully acknowledged to be key for teacher professionalism, Personal, Social and Learning to Learn is now becoming crucial for teachers’ motivation, innovation, and distributed leadership, to face problematic scenarios.
“Breaking Good”: Mentoring for Teacher Induction at the Workplace
Authors: Orland Barak Lily
Published: November 2021

Given the dissonant and complex character of induction for novices at the workplace, I propose a conception of mentoring that focuses on mitigating misalignments between novices’ developmental stage and the socializing characteristics and pressures of workplace induction. Drawing on extant research and conceptualization, including my own research on mentoring for teacher induction, this article addresses three interrelated questions: What are the central tasks of mentors in promoting effective induction of novice teachers at the workplace? What do mentors need to know in order to perform these tasks?  What kind of professional frameworks for learning to mentor?

 I claim that in order to help novices ‘break good from experience’, as the title metaphorically suggests, mentors need to be prepared to flexibly adapt strategies from diverse mentoring models according to the particular socio-cultural features of induction of novices’ workplace and to aspects of subject matter teaching. Such kind of mentoring is, thus, attentive to discursive tensions between ideologies, rituals, values, belief systems and behaviors that surge amongst the various players involved. The article describes the central tasks for mentors of novice teachers, the knowledge-base required of mentors in order to perform these tasks and the kind of professional frameworks for learning to mentor.
Prevalencia motivacional en alumnado de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria. ¿el género y el expediente académico determinan la diferencia?
Authors: Pino-Juste Margarita Rosa , Pérez Fernández Alba , Domínguez Rodríguez Víctor
Published: November 2021

Introducción: La evidencia científica señala que la motivación es un requisito indispensable para el aprendizaje, al permitir a los estudiantes satisfacer sus necesidades de conocimiento.

Metodología: El objetivo de este estudio es conocer los factores que predominan en la motivación del aprendizaje y como estos pueden estar influidos por el género y el expediente académico. Para ello se lleva a cabo un estudio descriptivo, inferencial y correlacional de corte transversal. Se utilizó para ello la escala de estrategias de aprendizaje y motivación (CEAM II: parte motivacional) traducida y adaptada al español por Roces, Tourón y González (1995).

Resultados: El nivel motivacional del alumnado es medio con mayor presencia en el género femenino. No se identificaron diferencias significativas a favor de las mujeres, salvo en el valor de las tareas y autoeficacia. La correlación entre factores motivacionales resultó significativa, positiva y medio-alta, excepto con el factor ansiedad que fue negativa y muy baja.

Discusión: Las implicaciones de estos resultados sugieren que el profesorado debe conocer los motivos que llevan al alumnado a satisfacer sus necesidades de conocimiento, ya que estos se puede mejorar a través de experiencias educativas apropiadas.
Evolución de la resolución de problemas en el currículo chileno de primaria.

Published: November 2021

El estudio del currículo resulta de interés para la Didáctica de la Matemática, dada su relevancia en la selección de lo que es enseñado. Los estudios longitudinales sobre el currículo aportan información útil para comprender las propuestas actuales. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar la evolución del papel que ha tenido la resolución de problemas en el currículo de educación primaria en Chile. Para eso analizamos las normativas curriculares de los últimos 40 años. Realizamos un análisis de contenido usando como categorías generales el modelo de niveles de reflexión curricular de Rico (1997) y categorías específicas sobre la resolución de problemas, obtenidas de la literatura. Como resultado encontramos que el papel de la resolución de problemas ha ido cambiando en el tiempo, aunque no de forma rápida. Su rol ha variado desde una forma de ejercitación, hasta un método de aprendizaje de nuevos contenidos. Los tipos de problemas incluidos en las sugerencias metodológicas han sufrido cambios más notorios solo en los documentos más actuales. Como conclusión, consideramos que las normativas han ido incorporando cada vez más especificaciones para trabajar la resolución de problemas en el aula, pero aún queda camino para lograr su total incorporación al currículo.

Published: November 2021

Con la llegada del Marco Europeo, la educación superior ha sufrido cambios, uno de ellos la introducción de las competencias transversales. Por ello, este trabajo pretende analizar la percepción que el alumnado de Educación Infantil y de Educación Primaria de la Universidad de Extremadura tiene con respecto a las competencias transversales adquiridas a lo largo de su formación como maestros. Para ello, partiendo de las propias competencias transversales que tienen que conseguir para la obtención de la titulación, se ha diseñado un cuestionario on-line en el que participaron 212 alumnos. Los resultados muestran que el alumnado en su gran mayoría tiene adquiridas las competencias, excepto la de lenguas extranjeras que es la que menos valoración tiene. Finalmente se extrae que el alumnado sí tiene, de forma general, adquiridas las competencias transversales, lo que supone una buena formación para los alumnos que en un futuro serán docentes.
Oportunidades para aprender a ser profesor reflexivo en el currículum formativo
Authors: Ruffinelli Vargas Andrea
Published: November 2021

Este artículo aborda las oportunidades que ofrece el currículum de la formación inicial docente para formar profesores reflexivos. Describe, mediante análisis de contenido, la concepción de la reflexión y acciones para su desarrollo presentes en los programas de cursos del plan de estudios de dos programas chilenos de formación de docentes de educación básica o primaria que declaran formar profesores reflexivos. Los hallazgos dan cuenta de una presencia más discursiva que práctica de la reflexión, tendencia a un enfoque cognitivo -propio de la reflexión técnica- particularmente en la formación teórica, caracterizado por la comprensión de una reflexión desde la teoría; y de una tendencia al enfoque metacognitivo –propio del tránsito desde la enseñanza a la práctica reflexiva- en la formación práctica, caracterizado por la reflexión desde la experiencia, a la luz de la teoría. Incipientes atisbos del enfoque de la práctica reflexiva, como reflexión generativa, a la luz de la experiencia y la teoría, capaz de modificar los conocimientos profesionales y mejorar el desempeño, incidiendo en el desarrollo profesional.

Authors: Aranda Lourdes , Fernández Jiménez Miguel Ángel , Mena Rodríguez Esther
Published: November 2021

Cuando empezó a hablarse del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES), se abrieron nuevos horizontes para las personas egresadas de las Universidades. Hubo un giro de perspectiva donde el Modelo de Formación por Competencias se impuso, al considerarse un nuevo paradigma educativo más efectivo de cara a la inserción laboral. Dos décadas después, está claro que el desajuste educativo en relación con la inserción laboral, es aún patente. Esta investigación surge para analizar las valoraciones y percepciones del alumnado de Educación Superior en referencia a las competencias adquiridas para su incorporación laboral. A tales efectos, se elaboró y aplicó un cuestionario tipo Likert a 220 estudiantes pertenecientes al Grado de Pedagogía impartido en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad de Málaga. Del análisis de datos se obtuvo que, exceptuando el alumnado de 4º que no opina igual, el estudiantado en general, mostró una gran preocupación por su futuro laboral, aunque piensan que cuentan con las competencias necesarias para acceder a puestos de trabajo relacionados con su profesión de cara a su inserción laboral. Asimismo, la estabilidad laboral es el factor más valorado por la muestra, aunque destacan aspectos como la conciliación de la vida personal y laboral, y que el trabajo sea interesante y gratificante. Como conclusión destacar que el alumnado sigue percibiendo que su paso por la Universidad no les capacita para alcanzar uno de sus objetivos básicos que es encontrar un empleo acorde a su formación.

Prenatal Telehealth During the Pandemic: Sociodemographic and Clinical Associations
Authors: Gao Cheng , Osmundson Sarah , Malin Bradley , Chen You
Published: November 2021

Objectives: Like other areas of care affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth (both audio and video) was rapidly adopted in the obstetric setting. We performed a retrospective analysis of electronic health record (EHR) data to characterize the sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with telehealth utilization among patients who received prenatal care.

Materials and Methods: The study period covered March 23rd, 2020 to July 2nd, 2020, during which time 2,521 patients received prenatal care at a large academic medical center. We applied a generalized logistic regression to measure the relationship between the patients’ sociodemographic factors (in terms of age, race, ethnicity, urbanization level, and insurance type), pregnancy complications (namely, type 2 diabetes, chronic hypertension, and fetal growth restriction), and telehealth usage, as documented in the EHR.

Results: During the study period, 2,521 patients had 16,516 prenatal care visits. 938 (37.2%) of the patients participated in at least one of 1,934 virtual prenatal care visits. Prenatal visits were more likely to be conducted through telehealth for patients who were older than 25 years old and lived in rural areas. In addition, patients who were with type 2 diabetes were more likely to use telehealth in their prenatal care (adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) 7.247 [95% Confidence Interval (95% CI) 4.244 – 12.933]). By contrast, patients from racial and ethnic minority groups were less likely to have a telehealth encounter compared to white or non-Hispanic patients (aOR 0.603 [95% CI 0.465 – 0.778] and aOR 0.663 [95% CI 0.471 – 0.927], respectively). Additionally, patients who were on state-level Medicaid were less likely to use telehealth (aOR 0.495 [95% CI 0.402 – 0.608]).

Discussion: Disparities in telehealth use for prenatal care suggest further investigations into access barriers. Hispanic patients who had low English language proficiency may not willing to see doctors via virtual care. Availability of high-speed internet and/or hardware may hold these patients who were insured through state-level Medicaid back due to poverty. Future work is advised to minimize access barriers to telehealth in its implementation.

Conclusions: While telehealth expanded prenatal care access for childbearing women during the COVID-19 pandemic, this study suggested that there were non-trivial differences in the demographics of patients who utilized such settings.

Differences in Vaccine and SARS-CoV-2 Replication Derived mRNA: Implications for Cell Biology and Future Disease
Authors: McKernan Kevin , Kyriakopoulos Anthony M. , McCullough Peter A.
Published: November 2021

Codon optimization describes the process used to increase protein production by use of alternative but synonymous codon changes. In SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines codon optimizations can result in differential secondary conformations that inevitably affect a protein’s function with significant consequences to the cell. Importantly, when codon optimization increases the GC content of synthetic mRNAs, there can be an inevitable enrichment of G-quartets which potentially form G-quadruplex structures. The emerging G-quadruplexes are favorable binding sites of RNA binding proteins like helicases that inevitably affect epigenetic reprogramming of the cell by altering transcription, translation and replication. In this study, we performed a RNAfold analysis to investigate alterations in secondary structures of mRNAs in SARS-CoV-2 vaccines due to codon optimization. We show a significant increase in the GC content of mRNAs in vaccines as compared to native SARS-CoV-2 RNA sequences encoding the spike protein. As the GC enrichment leads to more G-quadruplex structure formations, these may contribute to potential pathological processes initiated by SARS-CoV-2 molecular vaccination.

Unbalanced Feature Transport for Exemplar-based Image Translation
Authors: Zhan Fangneng
Published: November 2021

Despite the great success of GANs in images translation with different conditioned inputs such as semantic segmentation and edge maps, generating high-fidelity realistic images with reference styles remains a grand challenge in conditional image-to-image translation. This paper presents a general image translation framework that incorporates optimal transport for feature alignment between conditional inputs and style exemplars in image translation. The introduction of optimal transport mitigates the constraint of many-to-one feature matching significantly while building up accurate semantic correspondences between conditional inputs and exemplars. We design a novel unbalanced optimaltransport to address the transport between features with deviational distributions which exists widely between conditional inputs and exemplars. In addition, we design a semantic-activation normalization scheme that injects stylefeatures of exemplars into the image translation process successfully. Extensive experiments over multiple image translation tasks show that our method achieves superior image translation qualitatively and quantitatively as comparedwith the state-of-the-art.

Published: November 2021

The present research examined which motivational factors contribute to individuals’ intention to take a vaccine that protects against SARS-CoV-2-virus and their self-reported vaccine uptake several months later. The role of different types of motivation was investigated (i.e., autonomous and controlled regulation) as well as vaccine distrust and effort to obtain a vaccine. Across two large-scale cross-sectional (N = 8887) and longitudinal (N = 6996) studies and controlling for various covariates, autonomous motivation and distrust-based amotivation contributed positively and negatively, respectively, to a) concurrent vaccination intentions, b) self-reported vaccination and c) subsequent subscription to a waitlist to obtain a vaccine. Participants’ infection-related risk perception predicted more positive vaccination outcomes through fostering greater autonomous motivation for vaccination and lower distrust, whereas pandemic-related health concerns failed to yield such adaptive effects. The results emphasize the importance of fostering autonomous motivation for vaccination and handling distrust, both at the societal and face-to-face level.
Exploiting multisensory encoding of names via name tags facilitates remembering
Authors: Murray Carolyn Anne , Tarlow Maisy , Rissman Jesse , SHAMS LADAN
Published: November 2021

Associating names to faces can be challenging, but it is an important task that we engage in throughout our lives. An interesting feature of this task is the lack of an inherent, semantic relationship between a face and name. Previous scientific research, as well as common lay theories, offer strategies that can aid in this task (e.g., mnemonics, semantic associations). However, these strategies are either impractical (e.g., spaced repetition) or cumbersome (e.g., mnemonics). The current study seeks to understand whether bolstering names with cross-modal cues—specifically, name tags—may aid memory for face and name pairings. In a series of five experiments, we investigated whether the presentation of congruent auditory (vocal) and written names at encoding might benefit subsequent cued recall and recognition memory tasks. The first experiment consisted of short video clips of individuals verbally introducing themselves (auditory cue), presented with or without a name tag (visual cue). The results showed that participants, cued with a picture of a face, were more likely to recall the associated name when those names were encoded with a name tag (i.e. a congruent visual cue) compared to when no supporting cross-modal cue was available. Subsequent experiments probed the underlying mechanism for this facilitation of memory. The findings were consistent with a benefit of multisensory encoding, above and beyond any effect from the availability of multiple independent unisensory traces. Overall, these results extend previous findings of a benefit of multisensory encoding in learning and memory, to a naturalistic associative memory task.
Changes in the cellular composition of guinea pig’s distal airways epithelium in the dynamics of experimental ovalbumin-induced allergic inflammation
Authors: Popko S.S.
Published: November 2021

The problem of studying the processes of restructuring of airways epithelium of humans and animals of adaptive nature under the influence of various factors on the body remains the subject of scientific discussions. The aim of this work is to study morphometric changes in the cellular composition guinea pig’s distal airways epithelium in the dynamics of experimental ovalbumin-induced allergic inflammation. We studied lung of 48 male guinea pigs, using histological, morphometric and statistical methods, under conditions of experimental ovalbumin-induced allergic inflammation, simulated by subcutaneous sensitization and subsequent intranasal inhalation with ovalbumin. The average number of epithelial cells of small bronchi and terminal bronchioles was determined: basal epithelium cells, ciliated cells, goblet cells and exocrine bronchiolar cells per unit area of 10000 μm2. We have shown the most significant reactive morphometric changes on the 23rd and 30th days of the experiment. We demonstrated a decrease of the number of basal cells (by 1.5 times compared to the control, p*/**<0.01) and ciliated cells (by 1.6 times compared to the control, p*/**<0.001) and an elevation of the average number of goblet cells (by 2.6 times compared to the control, p*/**<0.01) in bronchioles, a decrease of the average number of exocrine bronchiolar cells (by 1.6 times compared to the control, p*/**<0.01) in terminal bronchioles. These changes are the morphological confirmation of the development of bronchial hyperreactivity as a result of the action of the allergen. Sensitization and allergization with ovalbumin cause statistically significant morphological changes in the cellular composition of small bronchi and terminal bronchioles of an alterative nature in the early period and adaptive – in the late period of allergic inflammation, corresponding to the main morphological manifestations of allergic inflammation.

Authors: Voytenko Oksana
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the research of the problem of formation of sence-of-life orientations of a mature personality: the theoretical analysis of the concept of personal maturity, the essence of sence-of-life orientations in the life of an adult personality is presented; the relevance and motivation of research in the direction of humanistic-existential paradigm are substantiated; processes of understanding the life experience of the individual, his role in the formation of a mature personality, the activation of its internal resource are emphasized. An empirical study and analysis of its results on the formation of sence-of-life orientations of the individual in adulthood are presented; the principles of psychological influences in the process of psychological support are presented: social determinism, freedom of choice, personal congruence, responsibility, individual approach, empathy, invaluable attitude to the client. In the course of the research hypotheses were put: the deepening crisis of the existence of a mature personality is mediated by personal experience of living out difficult life situations and overcoming them. The main purpose of crisis counseling as a special help of the individual, is to promote an in-depth understanding that only person is able to make choices, to take responsibility for their life. In the course of research and implementation of psychological influence, the methodological principles of humanistic and existential orientation, which determined professional interaction, were reflected. The essence of psychological care, which we see in the integration of the experience of psychotherapeutic meetings in the real life of the client, is determined. In the perspective of research, the formation of a stable resistance of the individual to stress, adaptation to the situation of frustration and, in particular, the search for new meanings of existence, improving the quality of life.

The authors consider the development of communicative competence of children with special educational needs. Communicative competence includes the following components: psychophysical features of personality; social characteristics and status; cultural fund of the individual; language competence; pragmaticon of personality. Communicative competence is one of the key components of personality adaptations to the constantly changing conditions of the surrounding reality, which is of great importance in the mental development and in the process of social training of students. Focusing on the psychological and pedagogical features of teaching children with special educational needs, we can say that the level of development of communicative competence in the recognized category of children is low. Researchers emphasize that this category of students avoid communication. Speech contact is characterized by shortness and inferiority. This is due to the speed of testing social responsibility, the low level of vocabulary formation, which hinder the formation of utterances; misunderstanding of the interlocutor. Communication is the most important factor in the overall mental development of children, which plays a crucial role in enriching the content and structure of human consciousness. Through communication a person acquires all his higher cognitive abilities and qualities. With its help, people exchange information and transmit it for many years. Personality development largely depends on the social environment of man. Through interaction with people, a person, and in particular a child, satisfies his most important need - communication, improves mental and cognitive abilities and reaches a higher level in its development. With speech disorders in children there are difficulties in meeting and developing such needs. Establishing language communication is one of the main conditions for the full development of the child. Communication affects all the achievements of preschool age: the development of the cognitive sphere and the formation of the foundations of children's worldview; on the emergence of arbitrary behavior, the ability to act in accordance with the rules; on the formation of personal self-awareness. For children with special educational needs, learning to communicate is of great importance. If the child is able to express their desires, needs, ask for help and respond to the words of others, he will be able to enter society. Key words: communication, competence, inclusion, children with special educational needs, consciousness, educational process

The paper considers issues of interaction between aviation and avifauna, relevant in terms of flight safety and safety of habitats for birds living in the impact area of ​​ airports. A number of parameters of aircraft and air traffic flow significantly affect the behavior and diversity of birds living in the respective areas. The analysis showed that species composition of avifauna at airports includes very few fully synanthropic species, while semi-synanthropes, such as members of the family Corvidae, are often found in airport areas and, due to their size and behavior, are of major hazard to aircrafts. A variety of methods for assessing the level of ornithological hazard are proposed by researchers and used in some countries. The authors presented a matrix method for assessing the risk of collisions between birds and aircraft, adapted to the conditions of Ukrainian airports. In particular, this method takes into account the peculiarities of avifauna monitoring carried out at the airports of Ukraine and the range of data on birds that may be available at these enterprises. The proposed analytical approach to ornithological risk assessment and ornithological management was tested on the example of Boryspil Airport, for which the attractiveness of the territory for birds, focal species of birds that need the most attention during ornithological observations by the airport staff, and the risk level were determined. It is necessary to expand the list of indicators according to which data should be collected during routine ornithological monitoring of airports.

Biodiversity ensures the functioning of ecosystems that provides oxygen, clean air and water, plant pollination, pest control, wastewater treatment and many ecosystem services. Recreational resources rely on our unique biodiversity, such as bird watching, hiking, camping, fishing etc. But it is known that anthropogenic load leads to degradation or destruction of natural landscapes. One of the manifestations of degradation is the fragmentation and division of solid forests or steppes into separate territories. As a result, they are transformed into small islands of nature surrounded by arable land, settlements, roads and railways. The leading ecologists think that a significant influence on the level of biodiversity has been identified (According to National report on the state of the environment in Ukraine in 2020). It was a result of anthropogenic pressure on the environment. Therefore, determining the level of entomofauna biodiversity in different stations is relevant. During the research, the condition of entomofauna on the natural, semi- natural stations and sanitary protection zone (SPZ) of the Poultry Farm Kyivska was assessed. As a result of analytical and faunal studies, constant-dominant orders were 2 revealed in research areas: Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and Diptera. These orders include more than 80% of species and others only about 20% of insect species. The low number of species of entomofauna of dendrobionts is established due to excessive anthropogenic load and the depleted species diversity of trees and shrubs. Preservation of the ecological stability of landscapes by reproduction and maintenance of biodiversity requires the additional creation of protective forest plantations with high species richness of plants.

Background: Surgery for applying the auditory brainstem implant is an otoneurosurgery that requires careful intraoperative monitoring to optimize the placement of the electrode paddle. This study aimed to validate a new method capable of increasing the accuracy of electrode array placement, reducing channel interaction, electrical artefacts, and saturation effects, and providing the largest number of electrodes that can be activated with the lowest possible electric charge. Materials and methods: Thirty-six subjects aged between 1.42 and 69.92 years were tested during surgery for auditory brainstem implantation. We recorded auditory electrical responses of the brainstem using the implant supplier's suggested stimulation protocol and the new protocol. Results: Saturations effects and electric artefacts were noticed respectively in 81.85% and 53.25% of recordings using implant supplier's method, while in 70.34% and 24.75% of recordings using the new method, with a percentage variation of 11.51% and 28.50%. Considering the amount of charge required to activate the electrodes, with the implant supplier's method an average charge of 14 nC was needed, while with the new protocol an average charge of 8 nC was necessary. Conclusions: The new method improves the coupling between the auditory brainstem implant and the surface of the cochlear nucleus.

Introduction: One of the most relevant disabilities is caused by spinal cord injury (SCI). Typical causes of spinal cord damage are trauma, disease, or congenital disorders. Tetraplegia is a paralysis results in the partial or total loss of use of all limbs and torso; paraplegia is similar but does not affect the arms. Pain and spasticity are common sequelae of SCI [1]. Both pain and spasticity can have a late onset and develop slowly over time after SCI, and once developed, they often become chronic. In this paper we have provided to assess the effectiveness of acupuncture for treating SCI sequelae and summarize the potential mechanisms of acupuncture therapy. Method: We considered 30 patients with diagnosis of tetra or paraplegia after SCI complicated by neuropathic pain and spasticity. Neurologist trained in medical acupuncture conducted the therapeutic treatments. A specific set of acupuncture points was used in all sessions. Participants were treated for 8 sessions of acupuncture over 4 week’s period. Pain and spasticity were evaluated with Numeric Raiting Scale (VAS) (2) and the Modified Ashworth Scale [3] at the beginning of the first, the fourth an eighth treatment session. Results: 28 patients (93%) showed improvement in pain intensity and spasticity after two weeks of acupuncture treatment. The therapeutic effect continued until the eighth week of treatment. However, 15 patients (53,5%) reported an increase in spasticity and pain 2 months after acupuncture sessions. Conclusions: Acupuncture sessions using defined acupoint set reduced pain intentensity and spasticity in patients with SCI.

Range of Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmopathology: more than Tumors
Authors: Franz Walter Gerhard
Published: November 2021

The importance of close co-operation of ophthalmologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons and neuro-ophthalmopathologists as well in clinical as in scientific settings is underlined. Typical neuro-ophthalmopathological examples of frequent and rare cases from pathology of the eyelid, the cornea, intraocular tumors, ocular trauma and tumors of the orbit are presented as well as systemic pathologies such as inflammatory diseases of the eye, phakomatoses, malformations and mitochondrial disorders in which the histopathological investigation by neuro-ophthalmopathologists may contribute to diagnosis and therapeutic decision-making. The chosen examples should provide a narrow focus on some clinical queries answered by neuro-ophthalmopathology and exemplify methodological options, but – in the given frame – cannot represent the full range of eye pathology. Relevant literature is included for further reading. Ophthalmologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons should be aware from the additional value of a concise neuro-ophthalmopathological diagnosis for the optimal treatment of eye diseases and should insist in a professional neuro-ophthalmopathological investigation whenever and wherever possible.
