After the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, students returned to learning offline, causing changes in students' learning motivation. Thus, this research aims to determine the level of students' mathematics learning motivation after the COVID-19 pandemic by describing students' mathematics learning motivation based on motivation indicators. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a descriptive type. The respondents of this research were 110 class VII students of SMP Negeri 1 Bangsal, Mojokerto Regency, East Java. The data collection technique used was an online questionnaire in the form of a Google Form containing 36 statement items. The data analysis technique used is descriptive analysis. The results of this research data analysis show that students' mathematics learning motivation in the high category is 72%, medium is 21%, and low is 7%. It can be concluded from the results of the analysis that the mathematics learning motivation after the COVID-19 pandemic for class VII students is in the high category, which means that the 5 indicators of mathematics learning motivation are met well. The indicator with the highest average of 4.09 is the task value indicator.
Training of volleyball players at the beginning of their sports career
Authors: Vanyuk O.I.
Published: January 2024

The analysis of scientific and methodical literature let us state that physical training of school age children is very important. In this article we consider some aspects of young volleyball players physical training using different tools: physical exercises, games, competitions etc. taking into account laws of growing and developing child’s organism. Children should start playing volleyball since 11-12 years old. For this age it is characteristic the rapid body development, an increase in growth of muscle mass and strength. As well intensively develop attention, memory, will, quick thinking. The ability to perceive, memorize complex movements, analysis of their actions increase. Children with mental focus are able to perform complex movements and improve their quality. It should be remember that at this age child's body is not unique to rapid fatigue, and rapid recovery of working capacity. Therefore, the training process is necessary to diversify as much as possible exercises.

Thus, we know that the process of morphofunctional development of school-aged children depends to some extent on external living conditions and the nature of the activity carried out by students, to a large extent from the targeted use of physical education resources. The skillful use of specially selected and correctly dosed physical exercises during the period of enhanced deployment of natural morphofunctional development contributes to the stimulation, ordering and intensification of the relevant processes, ultimately achieving a significant increase in the functional capabilities of all body systems. At later age stages, when the peaks of natural development of certain functions are overdue, it is difficult and even impossible to achieve similar results [1].

The article presents the results of the influence of physical fitness on the choice of individual playing style in tennis players aged 10-12 years. It has been established that the main part of tennis players' workload consists of high-speed and speed-power work of a rather large capacity, which requires a high level of general and special endurance. 24 tennis players aged 10-12 who train in the tennis section of the Polytechnic Sports Club of NTU KhPI took part in the study. The physical qualities of tennis players were tested at the stage of preliminary basic training and the characteristics of the types of tennis playing styles were provided. With the help of factor analysis, indicators of physical fitness, choice reaction test and tests of technical and tactical fitness of tennis players were analyzed according to the methodology of the international tennis number (MTN). It has been proven that the dominant percentage of the expression of the factor corresponds to the style of play. A clear dependence of technical and tactical training on the level of development of physical qualities was revealed. It was concluded that the optimal selection and formation of one's own, individual style of play in the training of tennis players aged 10-12 will help the coach to clearly manage the process of the player's technical and tactical formation at the stages of specialized basic training, and the player to discover and make excellent use of his strengths, form the foundation for development own tactical thinking.

Published: January 2024

This review article examines in detail the peculiarities of the menstrual cycle from a biological point of view. Hormonal features of the female body that determine the course of the menstrual cycle are considered; levels of organization and mechanisms of regulation of cyclical processes, as well as the interrelationship of various body systems in terms of the menstrual cycle are overviewed. The phases of the menstrual cycle and the main changes at the hormonal and physiological level that affect the performance of sportswomen are examined. The issue of working capacity of female athletes in different phases of the menstrual cycle in correlation with changes in the endocrine system is considered. The impact of individual perceiving is also raised. The question of performing physical exercises in the phases of the cycle, which are typically associated with the greatest physiological manifestations, was also investigated. As a result, the conclusion has been made that since menstrual cycle is the nature matter and indicates appropriate health state of a woman, physical activity does not have to be cut out completely during any phase. Detailed analysis of hormone levels at different phases indicated that the effectiveness of working out may vary from phase to phase due to numerous effects of every hormone on different body systems at once. The statement that it is important to alterate the levels of activity from phase to phase to achieve better results has also been made.
Differentiation of Physical Training for Athletes Aged 10-12 in Kickboxing: Potential and Research Perspectives
Authors: Roshak O. , Yatsiv Ya.
Published: January 2024

Martial arts hold a prominent position in the array of sports disciplines, characterized by an extensive range of techniques, severe performance standards in competitive settings, impactful actions, unpredictability of outcomes, and substantial physical contact. Within this framework, the implementation of a personalized approach to physical training for children in the 10-12 age group becomes essential. This strategy encompasses an inclusive evaluation of each young athlete's unique physiological, biomechanical, and psychological traits. Such a holistic approach not only facilitates their well-rounded development but also minimizes the likelihood of injuries.

From an educational perspective, this technique covers not only the physical aspects of training, but also emphasizes the development of academic and social skills, using methods that stimulate interest, self-motivation and positive self-esteem in athletes. It is important to use personalized training strategies that take into account the different learning styles and needs of each child, which contributes to the better integration of kickboxing techniques and the development of the necessary skills. Special attention is paid to the development of training programs that meet the individual needs and capabilities of each child, ensuring harmonious physical, psychological and social development at this key stage of their life.

In conducting a systematic review of contemporary scholarly literature addressing physical training, the efficacy of assorted methodological approaches in the differentiation of training across various sports disciplines, such as fencing, the military- sports complex all-around, sports games, volleyball, and rowing, has been substantiated. However, there is a notable deficiency in scholarly focus on exploring the application of these differentiated physical training approaches within martial arts, especially in terms of specific physical fitness metrics for athletes in these disciplines. This research gap highlights the imperative for additional investigation and the creation of refined training strategies tailored to martial arts practitioners. These strategies should be designed to expertly integrate the distinct physical and physiological traits of these athletes.

PECULIARITIES OF TRANSLATING LACUNAE FROM GERMAN INTO UKRAINIAN
Authors: Amelina S
Published: January 2024

The article deals with the issues of translating culturally specific vocabulary in the Ukrainian-German language pair. The growing number of contacts with representatives of German-speaking countries makes it necessary to find ways to adequately translate lacunae, which are interpreted as differences in the cultures of speakers of different languages, since lacunae represent cultural elements of a particular country. The aim of the article is to determine the peculiarities of translating lacunae of German-language texts into Ukrainian. The study is based on the classification of lacunae into the following groups: mental lacunae, subject lacunae, activity lacunae and axiological lacunae. It has been determined that a special group of lacunae is made up of systemic lacunae, which mean the absence of words in the target language denoting certain objects, subjects and phenomena. Some of them may be related to differences in the political or economic systems of different countries. Some methods of translating lacunae in the German-Ukrainian language pair are analysed. In particular, transcription/transliteration is often used to translate specific things that are nevertheless quite well known in both cultures. It is stated that in some cases there is a so-called acceptance of cultural specificity. This happens when a certain object is spreading very quickly in the world. It has been established that one of the most common ways to translate lacunae is through commentary/explanation of the translation. Translators are both linguistic and cultural mediators. They perform an important function in promoting mutual understanding between speakers of different languages and representatives of different cultures. Lacunae often complicate the work of translators, as they have to find ways to translate the names of objects and phenomena for which there are no definitions in the target language. The study has shown that the most common translation methods for reproducing lacunae in a German-Ukrainian language pair are: transcription/transliteration, cultural adaptation, commentary, context-dependent translation, and descriptive translation.

Authors: Rozhkov Yu
Published: January 2024

This research delves into the intricate landscape of computational linguistics with a focused exploration of term identification challenges within the domain of veterinary medicine. A comprehensive analysis was conducted, balancing the difficulties associated with the automated extraction of single-word terms and the structured patterns observed in two-word terms within veterinary dictionaries and scientific literature.

The study commenced with a meticulous manual identification of 462 single-word terms, emphasizing the inherent challenges in automating the extraction of terms characterized by linguistic diversity and potential ambiguity. Simultaneously, the investigation of two-word terms unveiled structured patterns, particularly in dictionaries, offering contrasting simplicity for identification through conventional frequency-based methods.

The chosen text type, a veterinary dictionary, revealed its own intricacies with a standardized template governing entry construction. The revelation that only 59% of terms find placement in the title section underscored the need for adaptive extraction methods attuned to the varied distribution of terms within dictionary structures. Scientific texts further complicated the term identification landscape by showcasing varying term frequencies, prompting a critical evaluation of standard lexeme selection methods.

Building on these insights, the research proposes strategies for refining automated term identification processes. This includes leveraging advanced natural language processing techniques for single-word terms and advocating for adaptive extraction methods for dictionaries, while also proposing a hybrid approach for scientific texts.

The interdisciplinary nature of the research is underscored by the recognition of collaboration between linguists, computational scientists, and domain experts as crucial for developing sophisticated models and ontologies that accurately capture the unique linguistic nuances of veterinary medicine.

As the digital landscape evolves, this research not only contributes to the advancement of computational linguistic methodologies but also envisions the creation of terminological resources reflecting the dynamic nature of language within the veterinary domain. Through a comprehensive exploration of challenges and opportunities, this research aspires to pave the way for more accurate and adaptable automated systems, offering implications for the broader field of computational linguistics.
OBJECT CATEGORIZATION OF ENGLISH TERMS OF THE FOOD INDUSTRY
Authors: Lashkul V
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the object categorization of English terms of the food industry. The relevance of the article is determined by the need to study object categorization in the formation, structuring and functioning of the English terminology of the food industry. The material of the study was the English-language terms of the food industry, which were obtained by the method of continuous sampling from specialized dictionaries. The analysis was carried out using definitional, semantic, categorical and conceptual research methods. The object category is widely represented by terms that designate concepts used in the terminology of the food industry and serve for their classification. It was determined that the terms representing the object category are divided into six groups: 1) terms for the designation of raw materials; 2) terms for labeling processing products; 3) terms for marking equipment and technology; 4) terms for marking packaging and labeling; 5) terms for designation of trademarks and brands; 6) terms for marking quality control and product safety. Groups of nominations corresponding to the object category are represented by the author. The study has shown that the various subcategories of the object are indeed represented in the specialized terminology of the food industry. The primary objective of the research is to shed light on the role of the object category and its linguistic representation in the English food industry terminology. The research also identifies productive linguistic elements, including special vocabulary, specialized morphemes, and syntactic constructions, that contribute to the formation of terms related to the object category. It is justified that the object category is widely used in the terminology of the food industry, as it is one of the basic categories that play an important role in the birth and formation of the naming of concepts in this industry.

Published: January 2024

An attractive region for tourism - the Southern Coast of Crimea, including the vicinity of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden – is experiencing a high year-round anthropogenic load. This has a negative impact on the conservation and renewal of woody and herbaceous resource species, many of which are ornamental, food and medicinal. As part of the study of the possibilities of renewing the resources of ornamental shrubs and assessing their adaptive potential in the conditions of the Mediterranean subtropics, the article characterizes the water content in buds and shoots based on the methodology for determining the percentage of water per dry mass. The dynamics of the hydration of shoots in winter, spring and autumn is shown. A comparative analysis of the saturation of shoots with water in unstable and stable species at different times of the year is carried out. Species with minimum and maximum water saturation of buds and shoots have been identified. The difference is indicated in the studied species in terms of water content before saturation in natural conditions and after, already in thelaboratory. Attention is drawn to the dependence of species stability on the month of saturation. The characteristic of saturation of plant tissues with water is given when weather conditions change in spring (rainy and dry weather, thaw) when modeling climatic conditions in the laboratory. The species in which the maximum saturation with water occurs both during imitation of rainy weather and during a thaw are highlighted. These studies were conducted for the first time on the described species in the conditions of the Mediterranean subtropics.

In the breeding farm Kolos LLC in the Altai Territory, which is engaged in the breeding and selecting Kazakh white-headed cattle, bulls were assessed by their productivity, sires by the quality of their offspring, lines, breeding and production groups. It has been established that, regardless of which trait is taken as the base one, the bulls of the selection group exhibit highly productive qualities. Analysis of correlation coefficients allows us to note a strong connection between live weight and average daily gain, feed costs, assessment of meat qualities, relative gain, and the “A” index. A comparative evaluation of stud bulls based on the quality of their offspring indicates that the sons of Zaur 70099, Pankrat 6809, and Simons 6633 are improvers. When assessing the genealogical structure, the best indicators are shown by bulls belonging to the line of Castle 3335. When comparatively evaluating the strength of the influence of the line and the sire bull on the variability of traits, it was established that the stability of the impact of the sire bull is, as a rule, higher than the influence of the line and for the most critical traits it is more than two times. The highest power of the sire’s influence is noted for such characteristics as live weight, average daily gain, assessment of meat qualities, and complex index “A”. The population of the Kazakh white-headed breed has a high selection potential in assessing animal gene pool and phenol. Also, it has an optimal level of genetic variability of traits, expressed through the strength of the sire’s influence on the variability of traits.

One of the most critical problems in animal husbandry and public health is antibiotic resistance, associated with the widespread use of antibiotic drugs. As a result, pathogenic microorganisms develop antibiotic resistance, which creates the need to either increase their dosage or replace them with other medications. Phytobiotics are a promising alternative to antibiotic drugs. Phytobiotics are active substances of medicinal plants that exhibit antimicrobial properties against pathogenic microorganisms. The primary sources of antimicrobial activity of phytobiotics are phenolic and polyphenolic compounds. The research aimed to study the antimicrobial activity of oregano (O) extracts and marsh cinquefoil (MC). Alcohol extracts (AE) were prepared from dry raw materials by water-alcohol extraction, and then alcohol-free extracts (AFE) were obtained using vacuum distillation. The content of polyphenolic compounds was studied in the obtained extracts, and the hole method against pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica evaluated their antimicrobial properties. The results showed that in O AFE, the content of polyphenolic compounds was 1.487 mg/ml, in O AE 1.166 mg/ml, in MC AFE 1.349 mg/ml, and MC AE 1.074 mg/ml. All studied extracts showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The most significant zones of suppression (1.86 cm) were formed around the wells with O AFE, which were significantly (P<0.01) larger than in the samples with O AE. About gram-negative cultures, zones of suppression were found only in alcoholic extracts, which is most likely a demonstration of the antibacterial activity of ethanol.

Published: January 2024

The adaptive ability and productivity of common beans in the conditions of the forest steppe of the Ob region are studied in work. Genetic evaluation of varieties will speed up the breeding work to create forms that combine ecological plasticity and productivity based on exploring the adaptive potential of productivity elements. An urgent task of breeding is to develop varieties with a high stable yield, which can combine high quality, productivity and environmental plasticity in the genotype. Based on the UPH “Michurintsev Garden” of the Novosibirsk State Agrarian University, an assessment was carried out (2015-20) of grain bean varieties of different ecological and geographical origin with a bush type of growth according to the characteristics: the number of beans per plant, the weight of seeds per plant, the weight of 1000 seeds, seed yield.

   The work aims to evaluate the varieties of common beans for adaptability and productivity in the conditions of the forest steppe of the Ob region.

   Adaptability was assessed according to the methodology developed by A. V. Kilchevsky and L. V. Khotyleva. According to the “number of beans per plant”, the varieties Rubyn (Sgi = 6,5 %), Stringless (Sgi = 9,9 %), Zolotistaya (Sgi = 14,2 %), Zusha white (Sgi = 17,6 %), Zusha black (Sgi = 18,6 %) are classified as forms with low and medium levels of ecological variability. The Zolotistaya variety has high indicators of the parameters OAСi (4.2) and bi (4.96), the average level of BVGi (2.05) by the weight of seeds from the plant. Based on «1000 seed weight», most varieties are classified as stable – the Sgi value does not exceed 10 %. The genotypes of grain beans combining high yield with environmental resistance of Zusha black and Zolotistaya have been identified. Veenoorl, Zolotistaya, Brunot, and Rubyn samples are recommended for inclusion in breeding programs to create new adapted varieties of common beans.
Beneficial Ownership – Demand for Transparency, Threat to Privacy
Authors: Cindori Sonja
Published: January 2024

The basic idea behind establishing the register of beneficial owners is to increase the transparency and accessibility of data on beneficial ownership of companies and other legal entities with the aim of ensuring the public availability of data on domestic and foreign natural and legal persons. However, the possibility of the data being accessible to the general public instead of to persons or organizations that can demonstrate a legitimate interest raised the issue of violating the principles of respect for private or family life and the protection of personal data. Consequently, this raises the question of drawing the line between contributing to the common good and fighting against money laundering and terrorist financing, on the one hand, and protecting personal data, with the possibility of their misuse, on the other. A balance as well as a response to the possibility of setting soft limits of legitimate interest that would result in the achievement of all set goals was sought in the practice of the European Court of Justice. One of the legislative solutions regarding the extent of access to data on beneficial owners for the entire public, along with the establishment of different types of registers in order to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing, is described using the example of Croatia.

Between Enabling Law and Protecting Law – Some Remarks on the Method of Regulating the Law of Groups of Companies in Polish Commercial Companies Code
Authors: Herbet Andrzej
Published: January 2024

.Although the groups of companies have been an indispensable part of the modern economy for several decades, they still continue to attract unwavering attention of both practice and doctrine of corporate law. The numerous legal challenges posed by the functioning of multi-level structures, based on diverse types of dominance and dependance relations adopt different regulatory strategies manifest a universal appeal. Yet, the national legislators adopt different regulatory strategies, aimed at securing the interests of various stakeholders, including minority shareholders, dependent companies and their creditors. As a result, the contemporary discourse entails two concepts – one emphasizing the risks and responsibilities associated with it (protecting law) and the other one, supporting the creation of groups, as well as instruments for their effective management (enabling law). The aim of the article is to verify the extent to which these concepts are addressed by the most recent Polish group law regulations, viewed in a comparative context outlined by selected European jurisdictions.

Published: January 2024

To assess the consistency of birth weight among male calves born to half-J x half-RS, quarter-J x ¾ RS, three-eighths Jersey x five-eighths RS, and one-eighth J x seven-eight RS cows. The SHUATS in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India obtained the data from a pedigree cum history sheet. Male calves born to 77 cows during the first (L1), second (L2), and third (L3) lactations, as well as 127 observations of Jersey x Red Sindhi cows of varying quality, were all measured and recorded in kilos. Increased reproducibility across many cross-breed dairy cow performance tiers indicates superiority. This research shows that choosing cows with higher estimations based on the birth weight. of their male calves can increase the output of herds.

In Navsari, Gujarat, at the College Farm of Navsari Agricultural University, a field experiment was conducted in the summer and kharif of 2021 and 2022. With 4 main plots and 6 subplot treatments, the experiment comprised of twenty-four treatment combinations that were replicated 3 times in a split plot design. Results posed that significantly higher milling quality parameters and protein content of rice was found when rice grown in dhaincha incorporated plots (T3) and it was followed by green gram (T1), cowpea (T2) incorporated plots, and significantly lower values were seen in the fallow treatment (T4) for both years and in the pooled analysis. However, amylose and amylopectin content in rice was non-significant during the study. In the case of recommended levels tested during kharif in rice, significantly higher values of milling quality parameters, amylose, amylopectin, and protein content percentage were higher with application of 100% RDF (W1) and fb 75% RDF + 25% N from FYM (W4) during 2021-2022 and in pooled basis. Whereas the treatment No-fertilizer application (W6) recorded lower values throughout both the years and on a pooled basis. The experimentation revealed that dhaincha incorporation and 100% RDF proved as better in enhancing milling quality attributes and protein content whereas amylose and amylopectin percentages did not vary under residue incorporation.

Effect of sodium fluoride on germination, seedling growth and biochemical attributes in linseed varieties (Linum usitatissimum L.)
Authors: Nagar Amit , Jangde Savita
Published: January 2024

Fluoride is a potential threat to crop plants due to its inherent toxicity and its ability to move within plant tissues. The goal of the current study was to determine how sodium fluoride affected physiological, morphological, and biochemical parameters during the germination and seedling development of the T-397 and Shekhar linseed cultivars. Seeds were exposed to various sodium fluoride (NaF) concentrations (0.1 mM, 0.5 mM, 1.0 mM, 2.5 mM, 5.0 mM, and 10.0 mM) during the experiment. The findings of this investigation unequivocally demonstrated the substantial detrimental effects of sodium fluoride on multiple aspects of linseed growth and development. As the NaF concentration increased, the adverse impacts were magnified, highlighting a concentration-dependent relationship. Notably, the levels of total soluble sugars and proline content exhibited a remarkable fourfold increase as the sodium fluoride concentration escalated. This observation suggests that sodium fluoride may disrupt the normal metabolic processes in linseed, leading to alterations in sugar and proline metabolism. Interestingly, even at the lowest tested concentration of 0.1 mM NaF, linseed displayed susceptibility to fluoride-induced growth inhibition. This suggests that even at very modest levels of contamination, linseed cultivars are susceptible to fluoride stress, which may have an impact on crop yield in fluoridated areas. It is important to remember that this study did not definitively show any differences in the examined cultivars' sensitivity to fluoride stress; therefore more investigation is required to identify which type of linseed is more susceptible to this stress. This study's conclusion emphasizes the substantial harm that sodium fluoride causes to a number of vital indicators of seedling growth and germination of linseed. These results highlight the significance of comprehending the mechanisms underlying plant toxicity to fluoride and the possible ramifications for crop agriculture.

To determine the optimal combination of inorganic nutrients in conjunction with a biofertilizer consortium to achieve maximum rabi sorghum yield. A field study was conducted at the Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla, Andhra Pradesh, India in the rabi season of 2018-19. The design followed was a randomized block design, with seven different nutrient management practices tested and each replicated thrice with treatments T1: Control, T2: 100% Recommended dose of NPK (100:60:40) fertilizers, T3: 50% RDF+ Biofertilizer Consortium (BFC), T4: 75% RDF+ BFC, T5: 100% RDF+ BFC, T6: 125% RDF+ BFC, T7: BFC only. The study found that using 125% of the recommended along with a biofertilizer consortium (BFC) resulted in higher growth and yield traits. Notably, 125% RDF + BFC (T6) treatment significantly increased grain and Stover yield by 30.3 and 26.5% compared to the control. Treatment (T6) also showed the highest uptake of total nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, surpassing the 100% RDF + BFC. In summary, 125% RDF + BFC treatment resulted in enhancing growth, yield, and nutrient uptake in the study. Improvement in N uptake in the grain by (53.0%) and stover by (50.5%) compared with control treatment was observed with T6 treatment. The application of 125% RDF + BFC is the most effective treatment for enhancing yield traits and overall crop yield, and for fostering microbial growth, thus promoting soil health in sorghum cultivation.

In the Indian subcontinent, largely cultivated evergreen tree is Jamun, Syzygium cuminii (L.) Skeels. The seeds of jamun have a wide variety of pharmacological qualities making them much more valuable. Seed weevil (Curculio c-album Fabricius) and Eulophid wasp (Anselmella kerrichi) both are damaging to seeds. C. c-album caused up to 100 % fruit damage in a few varieties of jamun. Fixed plot surveys were carried out at Horticultural Farm, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during, 2022 and 2023 in jamun orchard to find out the damaging pest of jamun seed. Small, black to brownish color adult beetle with entire body bear golden yellow color scale found during the survey and identified as Curculio c-album. First time in Gujarat this pest was observed to damage on fruits of jamun and cause economic losses. Both adult and grub caused damage to jamun. It causes 48.0 and 62.0% fruit damage at ripening stage of jamun during 2022 and 2023, respectively, and makes it unmarketable.
