ELECTORAL VOLATILITY AND CONSOLIDATION OF "NEW DEMOCRACIES" IN THE COUNTRIES OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Chepel Sergei L. ,   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation
Published: January 2021

The article examines the dynamics of electoral volatility in the post-communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in the early 21st century. Based on the statistical data of elections and the results of sociological researches the article focuses on the influence of economic and politico-cultural factors upon the electoral mobility of population. It is noted that the effect of economic situation on the changing party preferences of voters was lessened as the process of adaption of people to market economy progressed. It is believed that the society political culture in post-communist countries of CEE marked by a low-level party identification of citizens can be considered a more stable factor influencing the dynamics of electoral volatility. Weak party adherence induces voters who are disappointed by current government policy to change party preferencesrather quickly whatin itsturn contributesto maintenance of the high-level electoral volatility. In those circumstances parties are formed and they act purely on the current political situation rather than the existing social and group demands. In case of coming into power party leaders do not consider themselves bound to fulfill the promises which they ladled out during the election campaign, and as a result that can be the cause of a new rise in social disappointment The author concludes that the high level of electoral volatility in the post-communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe considerably weakens the mechanism of responsible party management and so impedes consolidation of new democracies.
The Role of Associations in Vocabulary Acquisition: A Psycholinguistic Study on Indian ESL Learners
Authors: Кавітга В.  , Каннан Падмасані
Published: January 2021

Learning English as a second language is an area of study which demands persistent research, probing and application of the findings. In India, English language is a part of everyday life, and the exposure to English vocabulary comes through a multitude of sources which include media, game applications and social networking among others. In many instances, even complicated and less frequent words are made familiar by these sources. However, the learners of ESL struggle for a good choice of words when they are in a situation to use the language. This has led the researcher to question how the process of vocabulary acquisition happens and how the acquired words are organised and stored.  The current research is a psycholinguistic analysis of the way words are organised and associated with each other in the mental lexicon of the learners. The researcher attempts to study the role and impact of associations in vocabulary acquisition through an experimental study. The participants of the study are 120 Indian ESL learners enrolled for an undergraduate programme. They were tested with two methods of teaching vocabulary, namely the word definition method and semantic cluster method. The outcome of the study is discussed in the research paper.

Options for Multimodal Expression and the Literacy Required for Perceiving the Meaning of Textual Material in the Digital Age
Authors: Макарук Лариса
Published: January 2021

This article deals with the visualization of textual information, and provides a description and an analysis of the principal means by which this process of visualization can be achieved. Extensive attention has been given to images of various kinds which are being employed nowadays in almost all types of discourse and on different language levels, and their specific advantages and disadvantages have been noted. Other media devices  including charts, graphs and various types of diagrams have received some attention as well, although not to the same degree, and their importance and their unique characteristics have been described. The distinctive features of non-verbal means have been analyzed in the light of the developmental patterns which can be observed in recent decades.  A great deal of attention has been focused on the fact that traditional paradigms are in the process of being reoriented in the 21st century. As a result of this evolution, it is necessary to reconsider some paradigms which we may have assumed to be fixed permanently. On a broader level, the concepts of multimodal and visual literacy have been characterized in terms of the approaches which are proving to be appropriate for present-day linguistic study.

Паралінгвальні графічні компоненти як стилістично марковані засоби інтеракції у сучасному англійському писемному дискурсі
Authors: Макарук Лариса
Published: January 2021

Статтю присвячено паралінгвальним графічним компонентам комунікації, які функціонують у сучасному англійському писемному дискурсі. Виокремлені паралінгвальні компоненти поділено на кілька груп на основі виявлених спільних ознак. Серед них – сегментація тексту та інші графічні ефекти; шрифт та колір; непіктографічні та нефотографічні текстові елементи; іконічні мовні елементи (зображення); інші невербальні засоби. Звернуто увагу на структуру, семантику та прагматику окремих елементів, які є складниками означених груп. Обґрунтовано їх специфіку та диференційні ознаки. На основі ілюстративного матеріалу доведено, що використання невербальних компонентів невипадкове, а зумовлене низкою причин, провідними серед яких можна вважати інформаційну революцію та бажання реципієнтів й продуцентів передати та отримати максимум інформації, використовуючи при цьому мінімум семіотичних ресурсів з досить потужним прагматичним потенціалом. Звернуто увагу на те, що паралінгвальні писемні семіотичні ресурси – своєрідні стилістично забарвлені компоненти, здатні миттєво впливати на реципієнтів, змінювати їхню поведінку, спонукати до небажаних та не планованих заздалегідь дій. Окреслено кореляцію вербальних та невербальних компонентів на різних рівнях.

The Contextual Semantic Realization of the Lexical Units Hesitate, Waver, Vacillate, Falter vs. Hesitation, Hesitancy
Authors: Гнатюк Алла
Published: January 2021

This article is dedicated to the research of synonymous groups for the designation of doubt “Hesitate, Waver, Vacillate, Falter” and “Hesitation, Hesitancy” in contemporary English-language fictional discourse. Doubt is defined as an epistemic state in the cognitive world of individuals which provides motivation to undertake a further quest for information. The purpose of this work is to investigate how the set of semes identified in each component of the synonymous group is presented in the context of modern English fictional discourse. This research is directed towards verifying whether the use of all the components of the given synonymous groups is of equal importance in modern language discourse, as well as checking whether all the semes of “Hesitate, Waver, Vacillate, Falter” and “Hesitation, Hesitancy” are used correctly, based on the results of the componential analysis. The results of the research make it possible to form conclusions regarding the homogeneity or heterogeneity of contextual sematic representations in discourse, dependent upon the number of constituents which make up the synonymous group.

LAND ACQUISITION BILL: MORE THAN JUST THE BILL
Authors: Kumar Watts Hemant , Goel Megha
Published: January 2021

Land acquisition in India refers to the process by which the union or a state government in India acquires private land for the purpose of industrialization, development of infrastructural facilities or urbanization of the private land, and provides compensation to the affected land owners and their rehabilitation and resettlement Farmers are anxious about the Land Acquisition Bill, this does not seem to be their biggest worry, especially those who want money to get their sons educated or daughters married they, buy and sell land. While the question of farmers’ consent in land acquisition by the government is an important issue, there is little focus today on the very state of agriculture. It is therefore imperative to seek the opinions of farmers on this. Most conversations with farmers reveal how income returns are very low, irrigation facilities are inadequate and supporting infrastructure is largely absent or of poor quality. The scarcity of financial resources for farming is another major issue. Unsurprisingly. For non-farming purposes, most of them had to depend on either friends or moneylenders. What might benefit the farmers and what goes against their interests — it is also important for the government to pay attention to the bigger problems that Indian farmers face.
EXISTENTIALISM IN INDIAN ENGLISH NOVEL
Authors: Singh HP
Published: January 2021

Existentialism in Indian English Novel has its roots in western philosophy. Since our civilization has been heading towards westernization, and the life of man has been tending towards modernization. It has become inevitable for man to ask himself who he is and what his relation is to the physical and social world. The modern Indian is surrounded by the forces which are commanded and controlled by existentialist dilemmas. Modern fictional hero is a split-personality or a tortured individual through whose mind the novelist points out the social or national or human conditions. Modern heroes are not only emotionally wronged but also shaken at the existential level. The problems of existence are too wide to be managed by the modern man. The modern novel portrays outsiders, foreigners, who are empty in feelings, or incapable of communication, or unable to relate themselves meaningfully to the surroundings. Thus modern’s fiction in English reflects modern human predicament; life surrounded by forces of anxiety.
DISTANT INFRARED SPECTRAL ANALYSIS OF INDUSTRIAL HOT GAS EJECTION IN ATMOSPHERE
Authors: Asatryan R.S. , Khachatryan N.R. , Karayan H.S.
Published: January 2021

Passive Infrared (IR) Spectral-radiometry of gases in the atmosphere is extremely important today, when pollution of the environment by natural ejections and those produced by human activity is growing very high. Particularly, spectral analysis of hot gas ejections i.e. combustion products from industrial plants is an essential part of ecological monitoring of the atmosphere. In this paper we present the results of IR spectral analysis of hot gas ejections from industrial plants in the spectral range from 2.5 to 5.5µm, at a distance of 3000m. The obtained with a hydrocarbon gas group, SO2, N2 O, CO and CO2 gases, as well as H2 O vapor. Relative content of ejected gases (to CO-CO2 group) per unit time was evaluated by means of an integral intensity ratio for each gas. Distant IR Spectral analysis of hot gas ejections (both industrial firms, and various vehicles) have huge value, in particular at ecological monitoring of an environment.
Integrating machine learning with QFD for selecting functional requirements in construction automation
Authors: Tamayo Edgar , Khan Yasir , Al-Hussein Mohamed , Qureshi Ahmed
Published: January 2021

An important aspect of the conceptual design is at the customer requirement definition stage, where an optimal number of functional requirements are specified with the application of quality function deployment. To facilitate a systematic specification of functional requirements, state-of-the-art unsupervised machine learning techniques will be introduced in the feature selection of functional requirements. However, the scarcity of references on unsupervised feature selection in the literature reflects the difficulty associated with this topic. At the customer requirement definition phase, three techniques will be proposed for selecting functional requirements, namely: (a) principal component analysis, (b) forward orthogonal search, and (c) Kohonen self-organizing map neural network. These machine learning feature selection techniques address the limitations of current approaches in systematically determining the minimum functional requirements from the mapping of customer requirements in quality function deployment. When applied to the conceptual design of the transportable automated wood wall framing machine that is under development at the University of Alberta, the proposed feature selection techniques have been observed to be: (i) fast, (ii) amenable to small quality function deployment dataset, and (iii) adequate in realizing design objectives. The results presented in this paper can be easily extended to online determination of customer requirements and functional requirements, project management, contract management, and marketing.

Based on the observations' results, many graduate students from an English course institution still do not understand public speaking techniques. Even though the course institution is a well-known course institution in Indonesia, these graduates are relatively fast reading and speaking English. However, this word's smooth production was not matched with variations in voice, changes in intonation, and minimal meaning. As a lecturer in the English department, this is also our responsibility. Moreover, these graduates are now having their English course institutions independently. They are required to be able to communicate with their students. It is hoped that the current course institutions, especially in the Selong sub-district, can improve the quality of learning by applying correct public speaking techniques. Therefore, it is necessary to hold public speaking training for tutors at English language course institutions. The service plans carried out are: 1.) Delivery of mentoring material, 2.) Implementation of speaking practice in internal forums, 3.) Study tours at other course institutions, 4. ) Practicing speaking as well as evaluating outside the forum. This community service has increased English tutors' understanding in the Foreign Language Center (FLC) of Selong sub-district, East Lombok, seen from how they apply public speaking techniques during their teaching practice English tutors.

Authors: Ginting Martinus , Mustafa Annasari , Jaladri Iman
Published: January 2021

Asupan gizi yang kurang pada ibu hamil dapat melahirkan anak dengan berat badan kurang dan pen- dek (stunting) serta perkembangan otak yang kurang sehingga berdampak pada kualitas sumberdaya manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat perubahan pengetahuan, asupan zat gizi, dan status gizi ibu hamil sebelum dan sesudah edukasi menggunakan Pedoman Gizi Seimbang Berbasis Pan- gan Lokal. Populasi dan sampel adalah seluruh ibu hamil di Desa Sebatih (intervensi, n: 31) dan Desa Saham (kontrol, n: 16) menggunakan metode quasy experiment dengan desain Pretest-Post test with control group. Analisis menggunakan T-test dan Wilcoxon. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terlihat kecenderungan peningkatan frekuensi konsumsi makanan untuk semua kelompok makanan pada minggu ke lima (setelah edukasi sebanyak 8 kali), kecuali makanan selingan. Kelompok makanan yang paling tinggi peningkatannya berturut-turut adalah lauk nabati (22,6%), sayuran (14,6%), lauk hewani (14,3%),makanan pokok (11,1%), dan buah (9,8%). Penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa terjadi penurunan risiko KEK pada ibu hamil dari 17,4 % menjadi 4,3 %. Perbedaan antara kelompok intervensi dan kontrol terlihat pada pengetahuan gizi (p=0,002), asupan energi (p=0,003), asupan zat besi (Fe) (p=0,012) dan asupan vitamin C (p=0,030). Edukasi gizi melalui penerapan Pedoman Gizi Seimbang Berbasis Pangan Lokal dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan gizi ibu hamil, asupan zat gizi, terutama Zat Besi(Fe) dan Vitamin C, serta dapat menurunkan risiko KEK pada ibu hamil.
PERAN MUHAMMADIYAH DALAM MENURUNKAN KASUS STUNTING DI WILAYAH PERBATASAN KALIMANTAN BARAT
Authors: Putra Gandha
Published: January 2021

Kalimantan Barat merupakan salah satu provinsi di Indonesia dengan prevalensi stunting yang sangat tinggi yaitu sebesar 31,4%. Ada tiga Kabupaten di Kalimantan Barat yang menjadi sasaran dalam upaya menurunkan stunting tahun 2019. Salah satu dari kabupaten tersebut merupakan daerah yang berbatasan langsung dengan Malaysia yaitu Kabupaten Sintang. Prevalensi kasus stunting di Kabupaten Sintang pada tahun 2018 sebesar 51,88%. Salah satu langkah strategis yang bisa dilakukan oleh pemerintah adalah melakukan kerjasama dengan organisasi lintas sektoral. Muhammadiyah merupakan salah satu organisasi yang tepat untuk dilibatkan dalam menurunkan kasus stunting. Dalam Tanwir Nasyi’atul Aisyiyah tahun 2017 sudah diluncurkan program “Gerakan Peduli Stunting Pada Anak”.  Tujuan jangka panjang dalam penelitian ini adalah mengetahui Peran Muhammadiyah dalam Menurunkan Kasus Stunting Di Wilayah Perbatasan Kalimantan Barat khususnya di Kabupaten Sintang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peran Muhammadiyah dalam menurunkan kasus stunting di wilayah perbatasan Kalimantan Barat khususnya di Kabupaten Sintang masih belum maksimal. Hampir seluruh responden menyatakan belum adanya himbauan dan program khusus bagi warga Muhammadiyah di Kabupaten Sintang untuk hidup dengan sanitasi yang layak, menerapkan keluarga sadar gizi, dan menerapkan perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa “Gerakan Peduli Stunting” sebagaimana yang di sepakati dalam Tanwir Nasyia’atul Aisyiyah belum terimplementasikan dengan maksimal

Prospects for Construction and Upgrading of Railways in the Urals and Adjacent Territories in Relation to Russian Strategic Planning Documents
Authors: Tarasov P.I. , Petrov M.B.
Published: January 2021

The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the situation and a comprehensive assessment of trends in the development of railway network in the Greater Urals. Although the development strategy of the railway transport is defined in a separate document for strategic management, there still remains an excessively high level of uncertainty regarding the medium-term prospects for the network development, and many of the prospective facilities that used to be within the scope of project initiatives in recent years have been withdrawn from it for an indefinite period. The article reviews these processes based on the trends, needs and opportunities available in the Greater Urals. Based on the performed strategic analysis of the railway transport network development some proposals are made on ranking of project initiatives in this macro-regional territory. A conclusion is made that the Northern Latitudinal Railway, the Belkomur Railway, Obskaya-Polunochnoe railway line as well as the North-Siberian Railway in its Urals section are the most sustainable projects in conditions of significant uncertainties and accumulated delays in development of the railway transport network.
Recovery Dynamics of Lands Disturbed by Mining Operations due to Self-Organizing Principle of Natural Systems and its Forecasting Using Satellite Data
Authors: Mesyats S.P. , Ostapenko S.P.
Published: January 2021

Environmental issues associated with the development of mineral deposits are largely caused by the need to store mining and processing waste which becomes a source of environmental pollution. Large areas of dumped ore processing wastes determine the expediency of applying satellite data to monitor the environmental condition of the disturbed lands in order to make justified decisions on restoring the integrity of natural landscapes, which is crucial for the Arctic regions. The purpose of the research is to use the satellite data as the basis to reveal the dynamics of plant formation on the surrounding natural terrain when implementing the technology developed in the Mining Institute of the Kola Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences in accordance with the self-organizing principle of natural systems in the framework of the rock-biota system evolution. This is achieved by introducing a gramineous plant community without creating a fertile layer, which creates a biologically active environment. Analysis of the vegetation index obtained from a time series of the satellite data that characterizes the introduced vegetational change of the gramineous plant community on the bund wall slopes at the Khibiny group of apatite-containing ore deposits demonstrates the determinant influence of phytocoenotic factors on the recovery dynamics of natural ecosystems. A geobotanical study of the monitoring site has shown that in transition from the introduced gramineous to the forest stage of vegetational change, we observe a tier structure and large-scale resettlement of species from the adjacent natural areas, which is consistent with an increase in the vegetation index and allows to predict the dynamics of the natural ecosystem recovery.
Development of Technologies to Reduce Environmental Risk in Extracting Gold from Refractory Ores
Authors: Li Ya. , Zhuo L. , Shadrunova I.V. , Ermamatov A.K. , Chekushina T.V.
Published: January 2021

The task of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union is to look for effective technologies to recover gold from refractory ores while reducing the environmental hazard of the operations. In order to solve this problem, the Jin Xing reactant (a salt complex) was developed in the Kyrgyz Republic in the course of studying alternative highly effective agents for gold recovery from gold-bearing ores of different genesis. Joint studies of the Full Gold Mining Company, the Institute of Comprehensive Exploitation of Mineral Resources of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Tae Jin Xing Science and Environmental Technology Company justified the application efficiency of the developed Jin Xing reactant.

Synthesis, Isolation and Characterization of three acid and alkaline hydrolytic products of Nimodipine and Development of a valid RP-HPLC method for simultaneous determination of Nimodipine and Citicoline sodium in the presence of Nimodipine degradation products in Bulk and Tablets
Authors: A.E. Mohamed Ayman
Published: January 2021

Impurity profiling of active pharmaceutical ingredients is a crucial step in assessing their quality. Moreover, the chemical nature of nimodipine makes it susceptible easily to acidic and alkaline hydrolysis. On the other hand, nimodipine is co-formulated with citicoline sodium pharmaceutically as tablets to treat cerebral ischemia. In this study, three degradation products of nimodipine were synthesized, isolated and characterized with aid of FTIR spectroscopy, 1H-NMR as well as LC-MS/MS after exposing to drastic acidic and alkaline conditions. Subsequently, a simple, selective and valid RP-HPLC method was developed for simultaneous estimation of nimodipine and citicoline in the presence of nimodipine acid and alkaline degradation products in bulk and tablets. Chromatographic separation was achieved using an isocratic mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile: 0.02 M KH2PO4 (containing 0.2% v/v, triethylamine and adjusted to pH 3.0 with orthophosphoric acid) (70:30, v/v) at a flow rate 1.0 mL min-1 at ambient temperature (25 ºC) on a Eurospher II C18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) column with UV detection at 270 nm for citicoline and 235 nm for nimodipine and its acidic and alkaline hydrolytic products. Linearity, accuracy and precision were found to be acceptable over a concentration range of (4.5–120 μg mL-1) for nimodipine and (15–400 μg mL-1) for citicoline. The proposed method could be successfully applied for the routine analysis of the studied drugs in their pharmaceutical preparation in the presence of nimodipine common degradation products without any preliminary separation step.
When Speed Breaks the Sound Barrier: The Effect of Cue Hierarchy on Expected Quality and Purchase Intentions Regarding Laptops
Authors: Piermattéo Anthony , Lo Monaco Grégory , Delouvée Sylvain
Published: January 2021

A few taxonomies have been proposed to categorize the cues consumers use to assess the quality of a given product. However, these taxonomies do not take into account the possible hierarchy that may exist among these cues. Through three studies we tested a taxonomy based on the structural approach to social representations. This framework proposes a distinction between central and peripheral cues. The former would be essential whereas the latter would be less important in the process of conducting quality assessment or with regard to purchase intentions. Results show that, concerning purchase intentions, a good central feature can compensate for a poor peripheral feature while the converse is not possible. Moreover, this interaction effect is mediated by the perceived quality of the product.

Authors: Montaña Mogollón Gloria Johanna , Siabato Macias Elsa Fernanda
Published: January 2021

El presente artículo tuvo como objetivo conocer los hallazgos sobre la calidad de vida (CV) en pacientes sobrevivientes a ictus, mediante la revisión de estudios empíricos publicados en el periodo de 2012 a 2017, en las bases de datos de Sciencedirect y Proquest. Se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo de tipo documental, en el que se utilizaron como descriptores de búsqueda las palabras: calidad de vida, ictus y ACV. Se identificaron inicialmente 1679 artículos, de los cuales se seleccionaron 44 que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. De cada uno de los artículos se analizó el diseño metodológico, las características de los participantes, los instrumentos de medición de la CV, los principales resultados obtenidos y las limitaciones reportadas. De los 44 artículos revisados el 97% eran de corte cuantitativo, siendo el diseño observacional transversal con alcance relacional el más prevalente. El principal tema abordado en las investigaciones fue el de los factores asociados a la CV; siendo la funcionalidad, el estado neurológico y la depresión, las variables predictivas más reportadas. Se espera que a futuro la investigación sobre el tema se realice a través de investigaciones mixtas o con diseños observacionales longitudinales, que incluyan participantes con edades inferiores a los 18 años, que realicen evaluaciones con escalas específicas, y que profundicen sobre el efecto de variables cognitivas, psicológicas y del proceso de cuidado en la Calidad de vida.

Published: January 2021

El tratamiento quirúrgico del empiema ha evolucionado, desde la medicina hipocrática a través de los años, teniendo como premisa el drenaje. Con los avances médicos, el abordaje mínimamente invasivo se ha convertido en el estándar, dejando de lado otras técnicas quirúrgicas. La toracostomía abierta, en pacientes seleccionados, puede llegar a ser la última y mejor opción para el control del foco infeccioso: es una opción quirúrgica para el tratamiento de los empiemas en pacientes mórbidos y en fase de organización cuando otros tratamientos han fallado, con una aceptable morbilidad y mortalidad. Esta técnica debe estar en el arsenal terapéutico del cirujano.
Presentamos 4 casos de pacientes con empiema en fase de organización, en los cuales el riesgo quirúrgico era muy alto, por lo que se optó por realizar una toracostomía abierta, con éxito.
Uso de los gases arteriales en trauma
Authors: Solano Arboleda Nicolás , Rojas Diaz Alexei Bernardo
Published: January 2021

El trauma continúa siendo una de las primeras causas de muertes prevenibles en nuestro país. A pesar de la disminución del trauma militar, la incidencia que abarca todas las formas de trauma continúa siendo alta y congestiona los servicios de urgencias, por eso es fundamental el adecuado enfoque inicial para disminuir la mortalidad. Tradicionalmente, se han utilizado marcadores, como los signos vitales, para la identificación del choque hemorrágico, pero estudios observacionales de gran escala han demostrado cómo estos muchas veces no logran identificar a los pacientes con choque hemorrágico, haciendo necesario usar marcadores más objetivos, como los gases arteriales, con la medición del lactato y el déficit de base, que según literatura tienen mejor predicción de mortalidad, identificación temprana del choque y activación temprana de protocolos transfusionales.
Cosmogenesis. The Formation of the Human-Machine Space Civilization of the Future
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy of the NAS of Belarus, Kolesnikov Andrey V.
Published: January 2021

The article examines the prospect of mankind's expansion into deep space. The cosmogenesis of terrestrial civilization will inevitably face a number of physical and technical limitations, and it does not seem to be really feasible without machines endowed with psyche and consciousness. In common the development of synergetics, chaos theory and mathematics gives grounds to assume that in principle the creation of such machines is possible. The motivation for cosmogenesis is essential. Different sociotypes of a person can see its goals and objectives in different ways. At present, humanity is at a bifurcation point, when two basic sociotypes coexist. This is a molecular person, dependent on the egoistic gene, a person of a consumer and post-consumer society, and a space person who has realized the intrinsic value of reason and is striving to free himself from the power of the gene. Their images of the future and goals are different, therefore, the nature and goals of their space exploration will be different.

Prospects of Development of Mini Uavs and Methods of Combating Them. Part I
Authors:   lieutenant general, Luzan Alexander G.
Published: January 2021

The article examines the UAVs composition, features of the construction and combat use. UAVs are now becoming increasingly important, especially mini-class UAVs, which are equipped with elements of artificial intelligence and are capable of acting in the form of self-adjusting swarms. The assessment of mini-class UAVs and loitering ammunition is carried out not only as promising air attack weapons, but also as air targets for air defenсe systems. The possibilities of existing air defence systems, which implement the "classical" methods of hitting air targets, to combat mini-class UAVs, acting in the form of self-adjusting swarms, are evaluated. Scientifically grounded proposals for the implementation of effective counteraction to these means, including with the help of weapons using new physical principles of destruction, are considered.

Published: January 2021

The development of the tourism sector has had various effects on Balinese people’s traditional practices, including the traditional Balinese house. Since the increase of Bali’s tourist activities, the traditional houses for the Balinese that demonstrated not only a way of shelter but also complex cultural links have become objects of transformation. This transformation tended to fade its meanings and values, even though the Balinese have tried to maintain their culture as tourism resources. This phenomenon is an architectural challenge for the people to produce an innovative design of the transformed house. A descriptive exploratory approach with qualitative methods was used in this paper. Using interviews, field works and architectural examination in Taro, Kendran, and Ubud, this paper explores innovative designs that not only can accommodate traditional functions of the houses but also address the new demands of tourists. Some alternative models of pavilions have been built in many parts of the house, such as in the backyard, adjacent to old pavilions, or by demolishing the old pavilions.

Published: January 2021

The results of the preliminary study were obtained from 15 prospective biology teacher students related to the initial abilities that must be possessed to become a teacher and the implementation of learning in science learning. In general, 15 prospective teachers were of the opinion that it was not so different about the ability to have to become a teacher. Based on the results of the preliminary study, prospective teacher students already know the abilities that need to be possessed to become a teacher and in the implementation of learning students must be active but still not showing knowledge related to knowledge that combines content and pedagogical knowledge. One way to analyze the ability of prospective teacher PCK is through filling in documents consisting of Content Representation (CoRe). The data presented in the form of student response questionnaire analysis related to CoRe in terms of education and language and the results of test the validity and reliability of items. For linguistic aspects of CoRe instrument in general CoRe instrument have very high frequency, meaning that CoRe instrument that have been developed are able to be accepted and used properly by prospective biology teacher students at Muhammadiyah Metro University with a percentage 70%. For educational aspects of the CoRe instrument in general CoRe instrument have very high criteria, meaning that the CoRe instrument that have been developed are able to be accepted and used properly by prospective biology teachers at the Muhammadiyah Metro University with a percentage 73,33%.
