Authors: Medvedkova S. O. , Dronova A. O.
Published: July 2021

Objective — to investigate the indicators of the quality of life in patients suffering from a hemorrhagic hemispherestroke in the early recovery period in dynamics using SF‑36v2 questionnaire and to reveal the factors which affect these indicators.

Methods and subjects. An open‑label, cohort study of 46 patients suffering from a hemorrhagic hemispherestroke (HHS) in the early recovery period was performed in ZSMU nervous diseases clinic. Among the patients there were 31 (67.4 %) men and 15 (32.6 %) women. The average age of the patients was 57.15 ± 9.53 years. The patients underwent comprehensive investigation of HHS on the 30th, 90th, and 180th day of the disease using the following scales: National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) to objectively evaluate the condition severity; Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) to assess the rate of functional recuperation and disability; Barthel Index (BI) to evaluate the possibility of everyday skills and self‑care; Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) to indicate the muscle spasticity in the upper and lower limbs; quality of life assessment according to the SF‑36v2 Health Survey questionnaire.

Results. The study found that significant decrease of all life quality indicators, evaluated on SF‑36v2 scale, was observed on the 30th day of HHS patients. The physical functioning, the physical role functioning, and the social role functioning section scores were the most decreased. A reliable improvement of the physical and mental part of health during the early recovery period was observed.

Conclusions. A statistically significant correlation was found between the NIHSS, mRS, BI scores and all quality of life indicators according to SF‑36v2, except for the intensity of pain on the 30th day of the disease. A statistically significant effect of the presence of manifestations of spasticity on the physical component of health during the early recovery period, as well as on the indicator of pain intensity on the 30th day of the disease, was established.
The Functional Independence Measure and the Functional Assessment Measure (FIM + FAM) as an effective tool for the evaluation of functional status in stroke rehabilitation
Authors: Shuranova L. , Vacková J.
Published: July 2021

The Functional Independence Measure and Functional Assessment Measure (FIM + FAM) is an effective, efficient, and objective tool for tracking changes in the motor, cognitive, and psychosocial functions of patients over the entire treatment and rehabilitation period. It is estimated that in the Czech Republic (CR), stroke is the third most common cause of death and the most common cause of adult disability. To develop faster, better, and more cost‑effective stroke treatments and reduce or mitigate functional losses and restrictive situations, it is very important that patients be objectively evaluated, relative to their functional abilities, as soon as possible after a stroke. A critical part of stroke treatment is to calculate the length of in‑hospital treatment and estimate the length of the rehabilitation period after the stroke. Contemporary methods for evaluating and analyzing a patient’s condition are based on test results and evidence.The FIM offers a more sensitive rating scale compared to BI due to the presence of cognitive items and is used worldwide for assessment during the acute stage of the disease. Thus, it is an efficient instrument for setting therapy goals and evaluating the effects of rehabilitation. Not only can it assist the therapist in clinical decision making, but it also functions as a tool for evaluating rehabilitation outcomes. Based on this test, short‑term and long‑term rehabilitation plans can be determined. At the end of the rehabilitation process, assessing the patient’s functional condition helps to predict the specific long‑term rehabilitation services the patient will need as they return to society and regain their quality of life.

Authors: Dubenko O. Y. , Chernenko A. G.
Published: July 2021

Objective — to study the diagnostic significance of the serum level of calcitonin‑gene‑related peptide as a tool for the differential diagnosis of migraine with comorbid neck pain and tension of the pericranial muscles and cervicogenic headache.
Methods and subjects. The study included 112 patients (84 women, 28 men) aged from 18 to 58 years. In 77 patients episodic migraine was diagnosed (with a typical aura in 17 and without aura in 60 patients), in 35 patients suffered from cervicalgia with muscle‑tonic syndromes and cervicogenic headache. Among patients with migraine, 42 had concomitant cervicalgia with muscle‑tonic dysfunction. The examined patients were distributed into 3 clinical groups: I — combination of episodic migraine with cervicalgia, II — episodic migraine, III — cervicalgia without migraine. In all patients, pain intensity was assessed using a visual analogue scale, the effect of migraine on daily activity and performance using the MIDAS and HIT‑6 scales, and the Neck Disability Index. The control group for comparing the serum level of CGRP consisted of 30 clinically healthy persons. The serum level of CGRP was determined by enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay using the sandwich ELISA principle.
Results. In the group of patients with a combination of episodic migraine with cervicalgia and cervicogenic headache, compared with the group with isolated migraine, the number of days with headache over the last 3 months was higher (р < 0.001), the influence of headache on daily activity and performance according to the MIDAS scales and HIT‑6 was more significant (both р < 0.001) and the number of combined analgesics used was higher (р < 0.001). Plasma level of CGRP was statistically significantly higher in patients with episodic migraine compared with the group with cervicalgia without migraine (р < 0.05), where it did not differ from the control. The CGRP level was statistically significantly higher in women with migraine compared to men (р < 0.001), but did not differ in patients with migraine with and without aura (р > 0.05).
Conclusions. The serum level of calcitonin‑gene‑related peptide is a reliable diagnostic and differential diagnostic laboratory biomarker of episodic migraine. The presence of concomitant cervicalgia in patients with episodic migraine significantly affects the level of CGRP in the blood plasma and the course of the disease (an increase in the number of days with headache, the amount of analgesic use, decreased performance and daily activity).

La memoria Humana es un proceso psicológico que sirve para almacenar información codificada. Dicha información puede ser recuperada, unas veces de forma voluntaria y consciente y otras de manera involuntaria. En el estudio de la memoria, unos investiga-dores han destacado sus componentes estructurales mientras otros se han centrado en los procesos de memoria. En este Número Especial se recogen trabajos sobre la memoria icónica, la memoria de trabajo y memoria a largo plazo perceptiva y semántica. Varios trabajos se dedican al estudio del priming perceptivo y semántico para palabras, dibujos y objetos 3-D familiares y no familiares. Los resultados parece que están más en consonancia con la postura de los sistemas de memoria que con la teoría procesual.

Published: July 2021

El cálculo de volúmenes forestales es una de las aplicaciones más comunes de la teledetección para apoyar la gestión sostenible de los ecosistemas forestales. En este estudio, se utilizan datos del 4º Inventario Forestal Nacional (IFN-4) y de la 1ª y 2ª encuesta nacional de Exploración Láser Aerotransportada (ALS) para desarrollar modelos de rendimiento predictivo y estimaciones directas para las tres principales especies forestales comerciales (Eucalyptus globulus, Pinus pinaster y Pinus radiata) cultivadas en la provincia de Lugo. La integración de ambos tipos de datos requirió una armonización previa debido a las diferencias en el tiempo de adquisición de los datos y las dificultades para geolocalizar con precisión las parcelas del IFN-4.

Los datos armonizados de E. globulus, P. pinaster y P. radiata se han utilizado para desarrollar modelos predictivos para determinar el volumen total con corteza (VCC) en un punto t diferente del de captura de los datos PNOA-LiDAR. Se ha calculado el incremento anual de volumen con corteza (IAVC) mediante la relación entre las variables de las parcelas IFN-4, con las métricas derivadas de los datos de PNOA-LiDAR, mediante el método de regresión lineal Random Forest (RF) y varias técnicas de aprendizaje automático. Estos datos también se utilizan para obtener valores VCC de forma directa mediante datos PNOA-LiDAR multitemporales, siendo estos últimos capturados en el tiempo t de proyección del otro método.

Published: July 2021

La delineación de rodales tradicionalmente se ha basado en cartografía y criterio experto de profesionales forestales. La aparición de sensores remotos permite disponer de información que puede ser utilizada para rodalizar de forma semiautomática. Este estudio busca desarrollar una herramienta para automatizar los procesos de segmentación requeridos en la gestión forestal. Para ello, la herramienta se desarrolla en Python 3 y emplea como fuentes de datos, información de LIDAR aéreo e imágenes de Sentinel 2. La metodología empleada, comienza con el procesado de información LIDAR usando el software de FUSION para obtener información de la estructura de la vegetación. A continuación, se combina un índice de vegetación normalizado, generado a partir de la información satelital, con las imágenes de las variables LiDAR. Como resultado, se obtiene un raster multibanda normalizado. Finalmente, el algoritmo de segmentación de Orfeo Tools recibe el raster multibanda, junto con una serie de parámetros de entrada. El resultado del software es un mapa regiones homogéneas del bosque, que no debe ser considerado como una solución definitiva, sino como un apoyo que el gestor puede emplear para determinar unidades de gestión. Para conseguir mejores resultados de segmentación, cada proyecto y tipo de masa requiere una combinación diferente de parámetros, que ha de ser determinada, para cada tipo de masa. Además del archivo de segmentación, las variables raster y otros sus productos se presentan como resultados. Como conclusión, la herramienta que se presenta es una solución moderna, gratuita, rápida, fiable y basada en datos abiertos que combina algoritmos para automatizar las etapas iniciales de un plan de gestión forestal.
La podredumbre radical del alcornoque y el acebuche. Efecto del contenido hídrico del suelo y control de la enfermedad mediante inductores de resistencia
Authors: González Romero Mario
Published: July 2021

El acebuche y el alcornoque son dos de las especies más importantes de los ecosistemas mediterráneos. Sin embargo, en los últimos años, ambas especies están siendo gravemente afectadas por podredumbres radicales, decaimiento y muerte del arbolado, que ponen en grave peligro su conservación. Esta Tesis Doctoral ha permitido determinar la etiología de las podredumbres radicales del acebuche, incluyendo la primera descripción de Phytophthora oleae como patógeno radical de Olea spp. Además, ha permitido esclarecer algunos aspectos de la epidemiología de la podredumbre radical del alcornoque causada por P. cinnamomi y Pythium spiculum, como la influencia del estrés hídrico y del contenido de humedad del suelo en el desarrollo de la enfermedad. Asimismo, se ha demostrado, aportando evidencia experimental contrastada, el efecto preventivo y curativo de los fosfonatos para evitar la destrucción de los ecosistemas mediterráneos dominados por el alcornoque.
Does Talking to the Other Side Reduce Inter-Party Hostility? Evidence From Three Studies
Authors: Amsalem Eran , Merkley Eric , Loewen Peter John
Published: July 2021

According to recent scholarship, citizens in various Western democracies show a growing sense of dislike and distrust toward members of opposing political parties. While political communication processes have been shown to influence inter-party hostility, the literature has so far focused mainly on mass-mediated communication. We argue here that affective polarization might also be determined by interpersonal political communication. Specifically, we hypothesize that “heterogeneous” political discussions—those transcending partisan and ideological boundaries—are associated with decreased hostility toward the other side. We test this hypothesis with three studies conducted in Canada: A cross-sectional survey (N = 3,596), a two- wave panel (N = 3,408), and an instrumental variable analysis (N = 2,005). We find that heterogeneous discussion indeed is associated with reduced polarization, a conclusion that holds across indicators of affect, obtains for both face-to-face and online discussions, and is consistent across studies. Having a heterogeneous (compared to homogeneous) discussion network predicts substantial decreases of up to 0.76, and no less than 0.09, standard deviations in out-party hostility. These findings inform scholarly debates about the antecedents of affective polarization and are consistent with the claim that cross-cutting political discussion can benefit democracy.

EMD-DF64: A 64-Bit File Format for Energy Monitoring and Disaggregation Datasets
Authors: Pereira Lucas , Velosa Nuno , Pereira Manuel
Published: July 2021

There is a consensus in the Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring research community on the importance of public datasets in furthering load disaggregation research. Nevertheless, despite the considerable efforts to release public data, not many steps have been taken towards homogenizing how these are made available to the community and providing seamless access to the available and future datasets.In this paper, we present the Energy Monitoring and Disaggregation Data Format (EMD-DF64). EMD-DF64 is a data model, file format, and application programming interface developed to provide a unique interface to create, manage, and access electric energy datasets. The proposed format is an extension of the well-known Sony WAVE64 format that supports the storage of audio data and metadata annotations in the same file, thus reducing the number of artifacts that have to be maintained by the dataset users.

New Interface To Cope With Unreliable Airspeed Indications: A Behavioral And Eye-Tracking Study.
Authors: Fabre Eve , Braca Patrick , Peysakhovich Vsevolod , Dehais Frédéric
Published: July 2021

When unreliable airspeed events occur, the pilot flying (PF) is required to fly the aircraft using the thrust and the pitch parameters that are displayed in two distanced locations of the flight deck. The Sycopaero interface was designed to limit the PF’s workload by automatically displaying thrust and pitch values specific to aircraft configuration on the Primary Flight Display. Participants performed a simulated flight scenario in which they lost airspeed information during take-off with and without the Sycopaero interface. Both behavioral and ocular results demonstrate that the Sycopaero interface significantly lowers PFs’ mental workload and improves their monitoring performance. Taken together, these results suggest that the Sycopaero interface may be an efficient solution in case of unreliable airspeed events.
A Model of Position Effects in the Sequential Lineup
Authors: Dunn John C , Kaesler Matthew Philip , Semmler Carolyn
Published: July 2021

What is the effect of placing the suspect in different positions in a sequential lineup? To explore this question, we developed and applied a model called the Independent Sequential Lineup model which analyzes a sequential lineup in terms of both identification position, the position at which the witness identifies a lineup item as the target, and target position, the position at which the target or suspect appears. We conducted a large-scale online eyewitness memory experiment with 7,204 participants each of whom was tested on a 6-item sequential lineup with an explicit stopping rule. The model fit these data well and revealed systematic effects of lineup position on underlying discriminability and response criteria. We also fit the model to data from a similar pair of experiments conducted recently by Wilson, Donnelly, Christenfeld and Wixted (2019; Journal of Memory and Language, 104, 108-125) both with and without application of a stopping rule. In all data sets, if a stopping rule is applied, underlying discriminability was found to be constant, or to increase slightly, across target position. In the absence of a stopping rule, discriminability was found to decrease substantially. We also observed a substantial increase in response criteria following presentation of the target. We discuss the implications of these findings for current theories of recognition memory and current applications of the sequential lineup in different jurisdictions.
Vaccine and COVID-19 Trajectories: Equal vaccine rates do not reduce inequality in COVID-19 rates
Authors: Choi Kate H. , Denice Patrick A. , Ramaj Sagi
Published: July 2021

Researchers and public health officials posit that vaccine equity holds the key to ending the pandemic. Yet, most prior work on vaccine equity focuses on vaccine hesitancy and seldom compares the vaccine trajectories of neighborhoods with varying COVID-19 levels. Notably scarce are also studies that examine the extent to which vaccination helps reduce inequalities in the prevalence of COVID-19. Using administrative data from the City of Toronto, we compare the vaccine trajectories of neighborhoods with low, moderate, and high COVID-19 rates. We also examine whether disparities in COVID-19 rates by a neighborhood’s COVID-19 rates as vaccinations have increased. By mid-June 2021, differences in vaccination rates by the neighborhoods’ COVID-19 levels are small. The vaccination rollout has only had a small impact on disparities in COVID-19 rates across neighborhoods. Equality in vaccination rates is by no means a silver bullet to reduce inequalities in COVID-19 infections across neighborhoods with varying socio-demographic characteristics.
Flexibility in the Gig Economy: Managing Time on Three Online Piecework Platforms
Authors: Lehdonvirta Vili
Published: July 2021

Gig economy platforms seem to provide extreme temporal flexibility to workers, giving them full control over how to spend each hour and minute of the day. What constraints do workers face when attempting to exercise this flexibility? We use 30 worker interviews and other data to compare three online piecework platforms with differing histories and worker demographics: Mechanical Turk, MobileWorks, and CloudFactory. We find that structural constraints (availability of work and degree of worker dependence on the work), as well as cultural-cognitive constraints (procrastination and presenteeism), limit worker control over scheduling in practice. The severity of these constraints varies significantly between platforms, the formally freest platform presenting the greatest structural and cultural-cognitive constraints. We also find that workers have developed informal practices, tools, and communities to address these constraints. We conclude that focusing on outcomes rather than control is a more fruitful way to assess flexible working arrangements.
Subnational Inequality Divergence
Authors: VanHeuvelen Tom
Published: July 2021

How have inequality levels across local labor markets in the subnational United States changed over the past eight decades? In this study, I examine inequality divergence, or the inequality of inequalities. While divergence trends of central tendencies such as per capita income have been well documented, less is known about the descriptive trends or contributing mechanisms for inequality. In this study, I construct wage inequality measures in 722 local labor markets covering the entire contiguous United States across 22 waves of Census and American Community Survey data from 1940-2019 to assess the historical trends of inequality divergence. I apply variance decomposition and counterfactual techniques to develop main conclusions. Inequality divergence follows a u-shaped pattern, declining through 1990 but with contemporary divergence at as high a level as any time in the past 80 years. Early era convergence occurred broadly and primarily worked to reduce interregional differences, whereas modern inequality divergence operates through a combination of novel mechanisms, most notably through highly unequal urban areas separating from other labor markets. Overall, results show geographical fragmentation of inequality underneath overall inequality growth in recent years, highlighting the fundamental importance of spatial trends for broader stratification outcomes.

Assessment of Mud Crab Fishery in Panguil Bay
Authors: Jumawan Celestina , Metillo Ephrime , Polistico Juvenry
Published: July 2021

The last assessment of three commercially important mud crab species (Scylla tranquebarica, S. olivacea and S. serrata) in the mangrove dominated Panguil Bay was in 2005; there was already an indication of the stock decline. This study aimed to continue the assessment but focused on production, growth parameters, total mortality, and exploitation rate of the three mud crab species at seven mud crab landing sites from March 2017 to March 2019 following standard fisheries enumeration protocols. Results showed that the total resource production in Panguil Bay decreased from 201.1 MT in 2005 to 103.0 MT in 2017-2019. Growth parameters of the three species for male and female, respectively are as follows: S. tranquebarica (L∞ = 11.5 cm and 11.7 cm, annual growth coefficient K = 0.6 and 0.6, exploitation rate E of 0.5 and 0.5); S. olivacea (L∞ =10.9 cm and 11.4 cm, K = 0.5 and 0.6, E = 0.6 and 0.5); and S. serrata (L∞ = 12.3 cm and 12.9 cm, K = 0.7 and 0.6, E = 0.6 and 0.6). Total production of mud crabs increased, and the three species are highly exploited, but exploitation rates are already slightly below or above maximum sustainable yield (Emax). A total of 1,848 fishers were recorded owning 2,015 boats composed of 1,419 motorized and 596 non-motorized. An inventory showed an increase of 5.36% in the number of motorized boats from the last assessment in 2005. A total of 15 types of gear were recorded, in which the top three include fish corral, crab pot, and gill net. Consequently, this study recommends reducing the present fishing pressure or effort of the three mud crab species, particularly during the spawning season occurring on wet months (July to October), for sustained mud crab fisheries in Panguil Bay.
Screening of Ciguatoxins in the Philippines by Animal Assay: Symptoms, Levels, and Distribution in Fish Tissue
Authors: Tanyag Bryan , Perelonia Karl Bryan , Cambia Flordeliza , Montojo Ulysses
Published: July 2021

The Philippines is an archipelagic country that belongs to the biologically diverse Pacific Coral Triangle, rich in marine resources, including corals, reef fishes, and algae. This explains the continuous sustenance of the Filipinos on fish as a major protein source. Despite their contribution to human consumption, some commercially important coral reef fishes are a threat to food safety, compromising public health. Currently, ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) has been focused on by scientists since it is the most frequently reported seafood-toxin illness in the world acquired from contaminated coral reef fishes. The present study investigates the contamination of reef fishes in the West Philippine and Sulu Seas using animal assay. Ciguatoxins (CTX) are present in commercially important reef fishes such as barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda), parrotfish (Scarus quoyi), rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus), grouper (Plectropomus leopardus), moray eel (Gymnothorax melanospilos), and snapper (Lutjanus campechanus). Scarus quoyi had the highest toxicity of 0.65 ± 0.55 ppb and 0.48 ± 0.36 ppb found in flesh and viscera, respectively. Although higher toxicities were observed from fish viscera, toxicities between fish parts did not vary greatly (p > 0.05). Positive samples exceeded the 0.01 ppb guideline established by the US Food and Drug Administration and the Philippines’ regulatory limit set by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources. Symptoms of mice showing the presence of Pacific CTX-1 were noted. Since mouse bioassay was used in screening reef fishes that pose non-specificity and insensitivity problems, the researchers suggest that analytical methods must be used in characterizing and quantifying these types of toxins. Establishing the methodologies in detecting CTX would greatly help monitor and manage CFP in commercially identified reef fishes in the country.
MOTIVATING STUDENTS FOR ORAL FOREIGN LANGUAGE COMMUNICATIVE ACTIVITY IN THE PROCESS OF DISTANCE LEARNING OF A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Authors: Halashova Olena
Published: July 2021

The article analyzes the necessity of forming the motivation of students for oral foreign language communicative activity in the process of distance learning. The importance of motivation and self-motivation for learning in conditions of physical isolation is proved by numerous studies of modern scholars.The purpose of the article is to search for approaches to creating feedback between students and their motivation for foreign language communication in the context of distance learning. Such approaches, according to the author's conclusion are: attracting students to professional research activities, providing students with the initiative to create online collaboration groups, collaborating according to a well-coordinated plan, and identifying individual achievements of students. The effectiveness of the communicative method is defined in view of the applied didactical principle of conscious approach in the process of study a foreign language and practical implementation of this principle as teaching a foreign language based on the native language support.The significance of the students’ scientific work for the growth of their creativity, self-fulfillment, formation of creative critical thinking and the development of individual abilities in solving practical problems, identifying the initiative, expanding the theoretical world outlook and scientific erudition, and the conscious use of theoretical knowledge in future practical activities is obvious. Thus being one of the most important motivating factors for oral foreign language communicative activity in the process of distance learning students’ scientific research work is aimed at forming a culture of foreign language broadcasting, the formation of students’ reflective and research culture to interactively cooperate in the process of performing problem-oriented professional tasks,in the process of cooperation in small groups and creating public speaking skills. The purpose of involving students in research activities was to form a positive motive for learning, awareness of future psychologists about theoretical and practical significance of knowledge gained during the search and processing of professional information. It should be noted that the selection, approval of individual findings of each student by the teacher will help to form their motivation for further exploration and the need to share experiences with other students in the group.
Keywords: distance learning, communication, foreign, motivation, self-motivation, cooperation, research activities, self-fulfillment.
PREPARATION OF FUTURE EDUCATORS TO LEADERSHIP OF ARTISTIC AND CREATIVE ACTIVITY OF CHILDREN OF PRESCHOOL AGE
Authors: Yeskova Tetiana
Published: July 2021

An urgent issue for preschool education is the training of specialists in the specialty 012 “Preschool Education” to carry out educational work in the field of art, and creativity. Modern scientific works that cover the issues of training future teachers on these issues have been studied. The article is devoted to the issues of preparing future pedagogues for leadership of artistic and creative activity in artistic labor of preschool children in pre-school establishments. It was found that the acquisition of professional competencies should take place not only through the enrichment of knowledge, skills and abilities of students from higher educational institutions but also through the improvement of their own culture. The aim of the article is to outline the features of professional preparation of future educators to guidance artistically-creative activity of children of preschool age in the process of artistic labor. In the article, some scientific research on the problem of formation of professional competence of future educators are analyzed. The peculiarities of professional training of students to the leadership of artistic and creative activity of artistic labor of preschool children are revealed in the article. The author proposes the use of modern pedagogical technologies to intensify the students’ activity in the course of studying the course “Art work and the basics of design”: educational games, master classes, mini-projects, heuristic receptions of training (“transformation”, “brain attack”, “improvement”, “Direct analogy”, “symbolic analogy”, “professional self-improvement”), receptions of creative training “Karus”: “combining”, “search analogues”, “universalization”, “suggestive questions”. The author discovered the use of various non-traditional artistic techniques that have been included in the work with preschool children recently: quilling, beading, decoupage, sculpting out of salty dough, creation of a lapbook, workshop, etc. The application of the proposed pedagogical technologies contributes to the effective training of future educators for the leadership of artistic labor in modern pre-school establishments.
Keywords: artistic and creative activity, artistic labor, training of specialists, competency, modern pedagogical technologies, master class, mini-project, workshop.

The article clarifies the essence of the implementation of the criterial approach to explaining the process of formation of legal competence of future junior bachelors in the field of human sciences of HEIs from two perspectives: structural and methodological.It has been summarized that in the conditions of development of education and informational society, the legal competence of future junior bachelors in the field of human sciences of HEIs cannot be effectively formed without any prior determination of its structure. Legal competence is understood as “an integral quality of a student’s personality, characterized by several features”. These features are the unity of their legal efficiency at the theoretical level and mastering the set of key legal competences; practical readiness and ability to implement professional activities in the modern legal and regulatory field; ability to handle with professional relationships, establish and defend professional rights; self-development and self-improvement of their legal culture and development of legal culture of the society. From the structural perspective, the implementation of the criterial approach to explaining the process of formation of legal competence of future junior bachelors in the field of human sciences of HEIs is reflected in concrete definition of the components of the studied phenomenon. It has been established the key structural elements of the legal competence of future junior bachelors in the field of human sciences of HEIs, which are the following: content components (axiological (value and semantic), epistemological (content and legal), praxeological (functional and activity), reflexive and estimative) as a set of life values, values of professional activity, knowledge and skills to organize this activity in the legal field, reflexive abilities as well as a set of legal competences as generalized ways of action that ensure the productive performance of professional activities.It is determined that the criterial approach to explaining the process of formation of legal competence of future junior bachelors in the field of Human Sciences is the most constructive, because it promotes the connection between education and work more effectively.

Published: July 2021

It was investigated in the article, based on thorough reading of the textbook “A Brief History of Ukrainian Literature” by Serhii Yefremov, how the teacher revealed the problem of forming a linguistic-and-rhetorical personality in the process of studying the works of Ukrainian writers.The role of the Word in the formation of a linguistic-and-rhetorical personality was defined. That is such a person who owned the Word, respected and learnt native language, understood his role in preserving cultural memory, and was responsible for the speech act.It was found that considerable attention in the textbook was paid to the development of language, in particular the Word and its path from spoken to written, from “short sentences, as in conversation, to one long and fluent sentence”, from a fairy-tale language to the height of Shevchenkoʼs poetry. According to S. Yefremov, a writer is a master of the Word, a master of the native language, who created a new world of beauty and art by all literary means and methods, using allegories and symbols.The specifics of the textbook were the short and unobtrusive characteristics of each literary direction offered to the readers’ attention with the names of the most prominent representatives of one or other literary school.Among many writers, Serhii Yefremov was focused on I. Kotliarevskyi, P. Hulak-Artemovskyi, H. Kvitka-Osnovianenko and M. Shashkevych – the only representative of Galicia. Much attention to the activities of the Cyril and Methodius Society and the work of T. Shevchenko, P. Kulish, M. Kostomarov, as well as Marko Vovchok, Oleksa Storozhenko was paid.The author of the textbook referred artistic heritage of M. Drahomanov, I. Nechui-Levytskyi, P. Myrnyi, I. Franko, M. Starytskyi, M. Kropyvnytskyi, I. Tobilevych (Karpenko-Karyi), B. Hrinchenko and Lesia Ukrainka to the period called “chasy lykholittia (times of trouble)”.An exceptional role in the formation and popularization of the Ukrainian language belonged to the activities of Borys Hrinchenko, who was not only a talented writer, translator, but also a linguist, compiler of the “Dictionary of the Ukrainian language”.Our performed analysis of the textbook “A Brief History of Ukrainian Literature” by Serhii Yefremov gives the grounds for claiming that the facts and generalizations presented by the author, offered to readers, contribute to the formation of a linguistic-and-rhetorical, nationally conscious personality, Ukrainian patriot, who is able to acquire information adequately and critically, systematize it, formulate logical conclusions, make informed decisions, take responsibility for their own actions and for their speech act.

Published: July 2021

The article raises the issue of application of information and communication technologies in the inclusive environment of the educational institution. It is proved that such an environment is formed as a result of an individual adaptation of educational programs, as well as with the use in the educational process of information and communication technologies that allow the perception and transmission of educational information in an accessible form for all students. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the relevance and features of the use of information and communication technologies in an inclusive educational environment of the educational institution. In the process of scientific research we used the following research methods: analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization. Results of the research. The key ways in which information and communication technologies can support educational opportunities for people with disabilities are as follows: determining the previous level of personal development (skills and abilities); providing assistance in personal development, forming new skills or updating existing ones; improving access to information; overcoming geographical or social isolation through digital communications; increase motivation and awareness of the benefits of information and communication technologies. It is determined that the main types of information and communication technology used to teach children with special educational needs are: standard technologies (for example, computers with built-in settings for people with special educational needs); available data formats, also known as alternative formats (for example, available HTML, say books DAISY system (Digital Accessibility Information System ‒ electronic accessible information system), as well as “low-tech” formats such as Braille; assistive technologies: hearing aids, screen readers, keyboards, etc. Assistive technologies are devices, products, equipment, software, or services designed to enhance, support, or improve the functionality of people with disabilities. Taking into account the didactic capabilities of information and communication technologies, as well as the needs and demands of inclusive education, three key functions that perform information and communication technologies in inclusive education are formulated: compensatory, didactic, communication. Necessary conditions for the introduction of information and communication technologies in the educational process are the availability of material and system-technical support, as well as the availability of appropriate professional competencies of teachers.

The dominant and accentuating role of the iconostasis in the design of the church interior is established. The artistic carving played an important role in the history and artistic features of the iconostasis. The artistic and figurative solution of iconostases was conducted with the imitation of historical styles and used imitation of the ornamental and compositional structures of traditional folk art. Consequently, a national style emerged that became an original phenomenon of world art. Prospects for further studies are in increasing the number of studied iconostases, in investigating the symbolism of carved décor and its meaning in the sacral culture of the Ukrainians. Furthermore, the traditions of the design of religious buildings may be applied in modern construction
