FEATURES OF ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS OF TRAINING IN A PROFESSIONAL LYCEUM
Authors: Toktogulov A.
Published: July 2021

The variety of organizational forms of training used in the professional lyceum does not exclude the unity of the requirements for them. Therefore, the most important requirement for any organizational form of training and the criterion of its effectiveness is the creation of conditions that ensure either joint with the teacher, or independent, but necessarily developing students ' activities. The same education of all students is not possible. It never was, and it isn't now. Organizational forms of training should promote the activity of students ' learning activities: different content. The structure, the volume of educational work, corresponding to the real capabilities of each student, and most importantly-the creation of conditions that allow you to open up even with frontal forms of training. For example, through participation in conversations, when expressing one's opinion in the process of collective discussion of answers to questions that require creative search, guesswork, special attention is paid to the effectiveness of learning by intellectual emotions - emotions of surprise, guesswork, doubt, novelty, confidence, as well as emotions of success, failure, associated with the result of mental activity. To create a pedagogically appropriate emotional saturation of the learning process, it is necessary to think carefully, purposefully plan the activation of students ' intellectual emotions not only through the content of training courses, but also through the novelty of the method of obtaining knowledge through the use of non-standard organizational forms of training.

Published: July 2021

The article is dedicated to the assessment of the personal position of parents raising children with disabilities. Studying them becomes especially important if the family chooses inclusive education for their children. The article presents a comparative analysis of the personal positions of parents whose schoolchildren have mild or severe forms of developmental disorders. To obtain reliable data, a social portrait of the families participating in the study was compiled (the education of the parents, their occupation, the socioeconomic status of the family, etc.) was assessed. The value-semantic orientation of the parents, being one of the components of the personal position, was characterized. Their assessment was carried out according to such criteria as adequacy and balance (harmony). The following value-semantic orientation of the parents was revealed: adequate balanced, insufficiently adequate, unbalanced, inadequate. Depending on the identified orientation, recommendations were made for accompanying families raising children with disabilities in general educational organizations.
Determination of Pharmacokinetic Parameters by the Application of Noncompartmental Analysis
Authors: Altaf Sidra , Kaleem Asma , Fatima Syeda Komal , Sabir Ayesha , Khan Imran
Published: July 2021

Pharmacokinetic models utilize mathematical terms to do pharmacokinetic analysis. Pharmacokinetic analysis of drug is defined as an experimental method to find drug exposure once administered or how does drug behave inside the body. Pharmacokinetic parameters determined include drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination after its administration. These two types of models are used compartment and non -compartment models. A compartment is defined as space inside the body that a drug occupies upon its administration. When there is linear kinetics, it is desirable to use a simple non-compartment model with lesser assumptions, while when a compound follows non-linear kinetic, it is preferred to use a compartment model. Noncompartment model utilizes concentration-time data to predict C max, t max, AUC and AUMC for the administered compound. AUC and AUMC can be calculated using the trapezoidal rule. Pharmacokinetic parameters can also be predicted using statistical moment theory.
Use of Fluorescent Probe for the Fast and Quantitative Detection of Chemicals in the Blood
Authors: Naseem Urooj , Ayub Ayesha , Iqbal Fatima , Sohail Farhan
Published: July 2021

Different methods are adopted for the quantitative detection of chemicals in the blood. One of which is discussed here, i.e., the fluorescent probes that are preferred in biological systems owing to their sensitivity, high selectivity, elevated spatiotemporal resolution, and noninvasiveness. In recent years, for the identification of various chemicals, a large number of probes have been designed. For the detection as well as identification of fluorescent probes, sulfides, different chemicals such as iron, glucose, glutathione etc., in the blood are discussed. The maximum detection limits of newly synthesized fluorescent probes for different chemical analysis are studied and comparatively analyzed. Different parameters like pH, incubation time, mixing time, the detection limit of the fluorescent probes is also explored.

Authors: Ashraf Muhammad Shehzeb , Rehman Iqra , Shahnaz Gul
Published: July 2021

There are many publications that deal with the administration of test substances to animals and the removal of blood samples for different objectives. The parenteral route of drug administration includes further different routes, i.e., drug administration through muscles (IM route) through veins (IV route) and through subcutaneous route. We can manage to check the outcomes of test substances within minutes when we go for the IV route as in this route; the drug directly goes to the systemic circulation. Different experimental animals are utilized to check the possible outcomes of test substances that include Rabbit, mice, and rat. Various factors like dose strength, dose frequency and the meaning by which drug can be administered to an animal can be examined. The emphasis on drug safety should be the main priority while injecting drug substances. Animal ethics guidelines should be followed in this regard. AEG basically provides us with safety guidelines that should be followed for safe handling.
Elaboration of Digital Watermarking Method for a Protection of Cloning Attack on Paper Certificates
Authors: Korzhik V. , Starostin V. , Flaksman D
Published: July 2021

Paper (or plastic) certificates are considered as a means against different forgery of product quality and brand falsification. It is commonly to use barcodes or data matrices to solve this problem. However such approach does not work usually against such sophisticated attacks as cloning of certificate copies. In the current paper we propose to use a digital watermarking and estimation of inner noises of scanners and printers in order to detect cloning attack effectively. Algorithm of cloning attack detecting is presented. The probabilities of attack missing and false alarm are proved.
A Method for Determining the Potential of an Information Security Intruder and Realizable Software Vulnerabilities.
Authors: Zhuk R.
Published: July 2021

Currently, many methodological documents have been developed that regulate approaches to the development of models of threats to information security. for information systems that process information of a different nature. There are different methods of threat development and intruder model building proposed by information security regulators, depending on the direction of their activity. To support decision-making in the process of threat modeling, a databank of information security threats has been developed. However, there are a number of contradictions in existing approaches, while the methods for identifying threats and building a model of an intruder, in most cases, involve the involvement of experts to assess the factors and conditions for the emergence of threats. In the existing methods, there is no relationship between the violator of information security. and software vulnerabilities in information systems, which does not allow building an adequate threat model without the involvement of qualified experts. The purpose of this work is to determine the potential of an information security violator. depending on its capabilities and assessing the impact of this potential on the implementation of software vulnerabilities in information systems.
Crystal morphology of spherical viruses
Authors: Voytekhovsky Yury
Published: July 2021

The article discusses modern views on the structure of spherical virus capsids, which have the shape of icosahedrons (icosahedral viruses). Each face of icosahedron is composed of a single-layer closest packing of protein globules, which can have different orientation relative to the edges of icosahedron. If the lines of globules are parallel to the edges of icosahedron, then the capsid has a point symmetry group Ih (with symmetry planes), if they are not parallel – the symmetry group I (without planes). From a mathematical point of view, in both symmetry groups there are series that unite equally (up to similarity) arranged capsids. They are connected pairwise by transitions to dual forms (homologous series). A hypothesis is formulated that the largest spherical viruses can have even more diverse and complex capsid structures. Along with icosahedron, their basic forms can be any simple shapes, allowed in Ih and I symmetry groups (8 in total). A suggestion is made that transitions within similarity series and between homologous series have a phylogenetic significance. There are known spherical viruses of both symmetry groups. For example, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has a symmetry group Ih and belongs to a well-known series. The crystallographic approach allows to construct a strict morphological classification of spherical viruses. This is important for their early recognition and separate examination. The article demonstrates practical application of crystal morphology in the study of viral systems – an urgent problem of geoecology and life protection.
Features of the mineral and chemical composition of the Northwest manganese ore occurrence in the Highveld region, South Africa
Authors: Evdokimov Aleksandr , Pharoe Benedict
Published: July 2021

The Northwest manganese ore mineralisation is located at a relative distance from traditionally known manganese mining areas in a new manganese-bearing region (Highveld) in the Northwest Province, Republic of South Africa. The ore occurrence was studied on farms: Buchansvale 61 IQ, Weltevreden 517 JQ, Rhenosterhoek 343 JP and Kafferskraal 306 JP. The data obtained from studying the geology of the area pointed out to interests regarding the development criterias for search of similar ore mineralisations in the northwest region of South Africa. The ore occurs predominantly in the form of powdered manganese wad, manganese nodules and crusts, confined to the karstic structures of the upper section of the dolomites. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive link (SEM-EDS) and X-ray fluorescence were utilized to unveil the mineral and chemical composition of the ore samples. The present study therefore presents the results on both chemical and mineral composition of manganese ores, and their depth and longitudinal distribution. Karstic areas causing an increased local thickness of the ore body were identified. The geochemical and microspcopic study of the ores indicates their supergene nature. The main ore minerals includes cryptomelane, lithiophorite, purolusite, hollandite and romanechite associated with impurity components of Ba, Ce, Co, La, Cr, Zn and V.
Petrochemical features of tholeiites from the Shaka ridge (South Atlantic)
Authors: Rumyantseva Natalia , Vanshteyn Boris , Skublov Sergey
Published: July 2021

The article presents original data of chemical composition of tholeiitic basaltoids and andesites, dredged from the Shaka Ridge (South Atlantic) in the course of field research in spring 2016 on the scientific expedition vessel “Akademik Fedorov”. The analytical part of the work on estimating the contents of petrogenic, trace and rare-earth elements was carried out using the classical method (“wet chemistry”), X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The studied samples demonstrate elevated concentrations of large-ion lithophile elements, or LILE, (Ba, Rb, Pb) and light rare earth elements, or LREE, (La, Ce, Nd, Sm) relative to high field strength elements, or HFSE, (Nb, Ta) and heavy rare earth elements, or HREE, (Dy, Yb, Lu). The specifics of trace element geochemistry suggest a significant contribution of crustal or subduction components to the magmas of the Shaka Ridge. Discrimination diagrams of basaltoids and allied rocks with fields of different geodynamic settings indicate that they were formed in the setting of the mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB). The reason behind the appearance of subduction and crustal marks in the rocks is possibly associated with assimilation of crustal matter by magmas or lies in their inheritance from the mantle source.
Modeling the processes of deformation and destruction of the rock sample during its extraction from great depths
Authors: Grishchenko Alexey , Semenov Artem , Melnikov Boris
Published: July 2021

Article investigates the change in the geophysical properties of rocks in the process of extracting the rock sample from great depths. Evaluation of changes in effective elastic properties, porosity and permeability of rock samples during extraction was carried out by means of finite element modeling. Assessment of the critical dimensions and orientation of internal defects, leading to the destruction of the rock samples during extraction from great depths, has been made based on the methods of linear destruction mechanics. Approach that makes it possible to calculate the change in the mechanical properties, porosity and fracturing of reservoir rocks in the process of extracting the rock sample from depths to the surface is proposed. Use of refined data on the mechanical properties of recoverable rock samples makes it possible to increase the accuracy of digital geological models required for geological exploration, determination of reservoir properties and oil and gas saturation of a field, and development of oil and gas deposits. Application of such models is especially relevant at all stages of the fields development with hard-to-recover reserves.
The Age of Instagram Face
Authors: Tolentino Jia
Published: July 2021

THIS PAST SUMMER, I booked a plane ticket to Los Angeles with the hope of investigating what seems likely to be one of the oddest legacies of our rapidly expiring decade: the gradual emergence, among professionally beautiful women, of a single, cyborgian face. It’s a young face, of course, with poreless skin and plump, high cheekbones. It has catlike eyes and long, cartoonish lashes; it has a small, neat nose and full, lush lips. It looks at you coyly but blankly, as if its owner has taken half a Klonopin and is considering asking you for a private-jet ride to Coachella. The face is distinctly white but ambiguously ethnic—it suggests a National Geographic composite illustrating what Americans will look like in 2050, if every American of the future were to be a direct descendant of Kim Kardashian West, Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, and Kendall Jenner (who looks exactly like Emily Ratajkowski). “It’s like a sexy . . . baby . . . tiger,” Cara Craig, a high-end New York colorist, observed to me recently. The celebrity makeup artist Colby Smith told me, “It’s Instagram Face, duh. It’s like an unrealistic sculpture. Volume on volume. A face that looks like it’s made out of clay.”
Layers of Identity: How to Be “Real” When Everyone Is Watching
Authors: Abidin Crystal
Published: July 2021

WITH THE RISE of online influencers and their conscientiously maintained feeds full of images of luxury, the accessibility once promised by their predecessors, microcelebrities, has been eroded. For their followers, microcelebrities were a more visible version of the ordinary person, albeit being closer to fulfilling collective aspirations of wealth and health. They were taken as role models, offering life-hacks and pro tips for attaining life goals, with their personal lifestyles serving as proof. This mainly played out through their endorsing particular products and services and sometimes amplifying some trends over others through their opinion editorials. But unlike the lives of celebrities in the mainstream entertainment industry who also dabble in endorsements, the lives of microcelebrities felt easier to emulate and to possibly attain. They had a knack for discussing prosperity and pimples, charms and chores in the same breath.

Influencer culture began in the late 1990s and mid-2000s; in Southeast Asia it was on blog platforms such as OpenDiary, LiveJournal, Xanga, and Blogspot. In China it was on discussion boards. In the U.S., it was through home webcamming. Before the internet, marketing through the endorsements of “ordinary people” was a matter of scouts recruiting popular high school and university students to model specific wares on campus and promoting student parties and clubs.
The Management of Information About Oneself
Authors: Goffman Erving
Published: July 2021

IN SOCIAL LIFE, an actor commonly finds that very basic ends, of both an ultimate and intermediate kind, are furthered by gathering information about those with whom he interacts, es­pecially information about the conceptions that these persons have of themselves and of him. With information about others, the actor can predict in general their likely behavior, and pre­pare for it. With information of this kind, he can determine how best to shape his own behavior in order to call forth a desired action from others. (The exploitation of the indicated likely response of others to his own behavior is required, of course, whether the actor wishes to please or to displease the others.) With information of this kind, the actor can learn what is expected of him and “where he stands” with respect to the others, helping thus to determine for himself who and what he is. We find, then, a whole complex of ends, any one or more of which may motivate the actor to the same kind of activity, i.e., an effort to find out as much as possible about the persons with whom he interacts.

Authors: Haydu John J. , Satterthwaite N. L. , Cisar John L.
Published: July 2021

Information is presented on production, employment, marketing, and product quality and price as a result of a survey of the Florida sod industry for the year 2003, the fourth in a series of surveys since 1992. Total sod production in Florida was estimated to be 92,950 acres. Sixty-four percent of Florida sod acreage was St. Augustinegrass of which more than two-thirds (69%) was Floratam. Bahiagrass comprised 24 percent of sod in production in 2003 and bermudagrass and centipedegrass were at 6 percent and 5 percent, respectively. Nearly three-quarters (73%) of Florida sod production occurred on sandy soils. The majority of sod production was in south Florida. Harvested sod accounted for 68 percent of the sod in production and medium-sized farms harvested the highest percentage of their production acres (82%). The in-field value for all varieties totaled $405 million, while harvested sod was valued at $307 million. Levels of mechanization and employment remained the same over the last three years for the majority of sod farms. The survey showed that 96 percent of all producers expected to maintain or increase current sod production, indicating optimism about future demand.

Authors: Schneider Keith R. , Garrido Victor , Otwell W. Steve , Mobley Ray
Published: July 2021

The International Fresh-cut Produce Association (IFPA) defines fresh-cut produce as "any fresh-cut fruit or vegetable or any combination thereof that has been physically altered but remains in the fresh state. These products are items such as bagged salads, baby cut carrots and broccoli florets." This definition covers a wide range of products which require vastly different handling practices. This definition is broadened to include the repacking of fresh-cut herbs and their use on packaged fresh-cut products manufactured in the retail setting and/or held for sale. This guidance will give general recommendations for fresh-cut produce, but is not intended to be applicable for all instances. This document is FSHN05-05, one of a series of the Food Science and Human Nutrition Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, IFAS, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611.
