Published: August 2021

Osteoarthritis is the leading cause of chronic disability affecting more than 80% of people over the age of 55. Several treatment options are there for early Osteoarthritis (OA) knee, like- rest, ice, brace, NSAIDs, intra-articular corticosteroid, Intra-Articular Hyaluronic Acid (IAHA), and intra-articular platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection. Growth factors in PRP (PDGF, IGF, VEGF) promote matrix synthesis, cell growth, and migration, thus facilitating protein transcription. Several studies regarding PRP injection in the management of OA knee support this line of management without any documented complications of PRP at the knee joint.

We report 4 cases of acute inflammation related to PRP injection for the treatment of OA knee. Two patients developed mild inflammation which was treated with oral medication on an outpatient basis. Another two patients developed moderate to severe inflammation which warranted surgical intervention.

Intraarticular PRP injection has been reported in the literature as a successful modality of treatment in OA knee without any significant adverse effect. We are reporting four cases of adverse events following intraarticular PRP injection. Two cases were mild inflammations while the other two were moderate to severe. All four patients recovered and the outcome was satisfactory compared to the pre-injection status. The exact cause for the reaction after PRP injection in the knee is not known. Further study is needed for the cause of the inflammatory reaction.

Authors: Mansilla Mahmud Macarena Ayleen , Mateo Dueñas Ricardo , Garcia Tamariz Pilar
Published: August 2021

This study aims to determine the relevance of organizational commitment, well-being at work and work-life balance of employees according to their generational group. The objective is to determine which components of organizational commitment(proposed by Allen & Meyer (1991) are most relevant to the well-being of each group of employees belonging to a specific generational cohort. The study is based on the results of a questionnaire applied to more than 500 workers belonging to thethree main generations: Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials. The employees included in this study work in commercial, industrial and service companies in Lima, Peru. The results show a close relationship between organizational commitmentand well-being at work for the three generations. However, the greater significance in each generational group is different with millennials being predominantly normative commitment (sense of belonging, 0.242); while Generation X (happy to be part of the organization, 0.882) and Baby Boomers (happy to be part of the organization, 0.321) being predominantly affective commitment.

ON THE EVALUATION OF THE CREST FACTOR OF BIONIC SIGNALS USED IN HYDROACOUSTIC COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
Authors:   North-Caucasus Federal University, Stavropol, Russia, Gavrishev A. A.
Published: August 2021

In this article, the authors evaluated the crest factor of bionic signals used in hydroacoustic communication systems, using the example of the study of signals based on the use of recordings of sounds of various whale species. The calculations and literature analysis show that the sound recordings of the following whale species have an acceptable crest factor value (p ≤ 4): Blue whale, Alaska humpback whale, Atlantic blue whale and Northeast Pacific blue whale. Recordings of the sounds of these types of whales should be used in the appropriate hydroacoustic communication systems. In contrast, recordings of the sounds of such whale species as Atlantic fin whale, Atlantic minke whale, South Pacific blue whale, and Western Pacific blue whale have an increased crest factor value (p > 4) and without adaptation, it is impractical to use them in appropriate hydroacousticcommunication systems. It is established that bionic signals used in hydroacoustic communication systems, based on the example of the study of signals based on the use of recordings of sounds of various species of whales, can have both an acceptable value of the crest factor or an increased one. It is advisable to pay attention of the de-velopers and manufacturers of the corresponding hydroacoustic communication systems to this conclusion during designing, testing and implementation of such systems.

The article contains a scientometric analysis of publications indexed in the international citation database Scopus. Groups of publications containing the keywords COVID / COVID-19, the SARS virus that causes it, as well as publications on pandemics caused by Ebola and bird flu / avian influenza (various options combined by the search query "bird* flu") were considered. It was supposed to identify groups of links between the development of diseases and the dynamics of publication activity on the relevant topic, to analyze the samples of publications formed by sequential (two- and three-stage) search queries. In addition to the dynamics of the number of publications, distributions were analyzed by a) fields of knowledge (branches of science), b) by a set of keywords associated with a specified area, c) by nationality of authors and, in relation to authors from Russia, the significance of the contribution of organizations to the sample of publications. Due to the current quantitative changes in the number of publications for the period of material selection (mid-March–late June 2021), some quantitative estimates may change slightly. At the same time, the qualitative conclusions are preserved. For the most part, the findings appear to be expected.

Background: The search for new drug compounds is always challenging and there are several different strategies that involve the most varied and creative approaches in medicinal chemistry. One of them is the technique of molecular hybridisation: forming a hybrid compound from two or more pharmacophoric subunits. These hybrids may maintain the characteristics of the original compound and preferably show improvements to its pharmacological action, with reduced side effects and lower toxicity when compared to the original components. This study specifically focuses on synthesising hybrid molecules which demonstrate trypanocidal activity against the epimastigote and trypomastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi. Methods: In this context, this study centres on the synthesis of a novel structural scaffold via molecular hybridisation; by using a triazole species to link a metronidazole unit to a eugenol analogue unit, the objective being to combine their therapeutic properties into a new molecular structure. The resulting hybrid molecules were evaluated against T. cruzi which is responsible for high incidences of trypanosomiasis in tropical countries such as Brazil. Results: The results of this study showed an improvement in the anti-parasitic activity of the hybrid compounds with the best result coming from hybrid compounds [8] and [9], which present an activity similar to the control drug benznidazole. The new compounds, utilising a triazole species as a coupling connector, demonstrated promising results and has highlighted the path for planning similar structural patterns to investigate new compounds. Conclusions: In summary, we can conclude that the synthesised hybrid compounds demonstrate that using a triazole to link metronidazole with natural phenols, produces hybrid molecules that are promising as a new class of compounds of therapeutic interest for further investigation.

Pedagogical Indoctrination in Romania. Perceptions of Pre-Service and In-Service Teachers
Authors: Ghiatau Roxana , Frumos Florin-Vasile
Published: August 2021

Formal education means, among other things, to influence learner’s minds through ideologies and doctrines. The connection between ideology and teaching is often theorized through the concept of pedagogical indoctrination, but empirical data on this phenomenon are missing. Acknowledging the crucial importance of indoctrination in school, the major purpose of this study was to empirically explore teachers’ and future teachers’ perceptions about pedagogical indoctrination in Romanian education system. Starting from two theoretical models of school indoctrination, we elaborated a self-report questionnaire, describing three dimensions and 17 behaviours that reflect indoctrinative teaching situations. 260 subjects, 171 undergraduate pre-service teachers and 89 in-service teachers from the North-Eastern region of Romania participated in the study. The results indicate that both in-service teachers and pre-service teachers acknowledge the existence of indoctrination in schools, yet the phenomenon is not perceived as widespread. However, further statistical analyse reveal significant difference between pre-service and in-service teachers’ perception about behavioural and dimensional indoctrinative teaching and learning. The age, the faculty profile and the residence add significant information about subjects’ representation of indoctrinative teaching in Romanian school system. Theoretical and methodological implications are discussed.

Authors: Nikolenko Oksana , Rebenko Maryna , Doronina Natalia
Published: August 2021

Ukrainian undergraduate students face challenges in demonstrating high-level proficiency in most of their academic writing. As an integral part of academic achievement, writing skills are essential for success at the various levels of students’ future career paths. Thus, academic literacy has raised considerable attention to teaching English as a second language. This study explores the writing competence level of 90 first-year students of Computer Science and Cybernetics Faculty at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and analyzes essay errors that are identified, classified and explained. The study describes the main categories of errors and reveals the causes of their production. It is evaluated that the major types of errors committed in students’ writing are: word choice, word spelling, verb tense, articles, and prepositions. We consider that the main reasons for errors are the native language interference, the lack of English academic writing knowledge and insufficient English grammar and functional use practice. Focusing on the importance of encouraging students to develop their academic literacy, we defined the approaches and strategies that can help teachers and language learners to overcome difficulties in writing. After defining the essay errors, the students were given a set of tips on academic writing proficiency and presented with contrastive L1-L2 comparisons, which resulted in significant improvement of the required academic writing skills. Finally, we measured the impact value of error difference aimed at describing the relationships between pre-analysis and post-analysis writing. Learning academic writing literacy may be an appropriate way to arise overall disciplinary literacy with the students.

The paper considers the theoretical and practical aspects of the behaviour of economic agents in the market for educational services. The aim of the study is to improve the behavioural aspects of the interaction of market agents. The main objectives of the study are: (1) to determine the features of behaviour of economic agents; (2) to determine the behaviour model of every economic agent in the market for educational services in Ukraine; (3) to identify problems of development of the market for educational services; (4) to improve the mechanism of interaction of economic agents in the market for educational services. Thus, in the light of the statistical analysis, the behaviour models of economic agents have been defined. Each of them has been described in terms of the efficiency of their influence on development of the market for educational services. The identified problems made it possible to improve the mechanism of their relationship, which, in contrast to the existing ones, takes into account the transformational processes in the labour market, and is based on the interaction of resource, information, and organizational components. The operation of the mechanism is aimed at satisfying the interests of economic agents and improving the quality of educational services.
English Language Proficiency in the Hospitality Industry of Western Ukraine: Pedagogical Challenges and Promises
Authors: Poznanskyy Roman , Davis Donald
Published: August 2021

This study measures the English proficiency levels of hospitality workers in the Ivano-Frankivsk region of Western Ukraine. It also compares English proficiency levels among hospitality workers in resort areas, urban cities, and rural communities. The authors believe the hospitality industry in the region falls short of its potential due to the rudimentary English language skills of its workers. As sociologist Pierre Bourdieu (1991) has argued, linguistic capital is a form of cultural capital, and this is certainly true in the hospitality industry. Although some language skills improvements have been made in the past decade, many hospitality workers in Western Ukraine, particularly in non-resort areas, do not exhibit even a basic mastery of English. After summarizing the main research findings, recommendations are made regarding possible pedagogical solutions to the current language skills problem. For English proficiency levels to sufficiency improve, curriculum changes will be necessary at the primary, high school, and university levels. University students enrolled in tourism and hospitality programs would also directly benefit from immersion learning opportunities, including on-the-job training abroad. These findings and recommendations have international significance, as hospitality programs everywhere could benefit from the adoption of more proactive and rigorous English language instruction programs.

Published: August 2021

The role of fine arts in the process of developing pupils’ creative activity remains insufficiently studied. This is especially true for the specifics of developing a values-based attitude towards any kind of creative activity in the representatives of such a complex age group as younger adolescents. The paper aims to develop and experimentally verify the methodology for developing creative activity in younger adolescents using fine arts in the educational process of secondary schools based on theoretical justification of the problem of the individual’s creative activity. This methodology was aimed at implementing a holistic set of creativity exercises, partial searching and artistic creativity tasks and a variable model for organizing the actions in the form of “the projection of desire”. The control and experimental groups involved the same number of younger adolescents, namely, 143 respondents, whose indicators of development levels of creative activity did not differ significantly. Different methods were used to identify the level of creative activity: questionnaires, interviews, conversations, pedagogical observations, partial searching, multi-level artistic creativity tasks and creativity exercises. The level of creative activity in younger adolescents in the experimental group has increased: a prospective level - by 9.1% (from 7% to 16.1%), a differentiated level - by 5.6% (from 51.7% to 57.3%). A situational level has decreased by 14.7% (from 41.3% to 26.6%). All the obtained data differ from the tabular ones for the selected high level of statistical significance (0.01<p<0.05), which indicates the effectiveness of the developed methodology for developing creative activity in younger adolescents using fine arts in the educational process of secondary schools.

Authors: Bondar Tamara , Pinzenik Olena , Fentsyk Oksana , Kobal Vasyl
Published: August 2021

The article deals with the issue of teacher efficacy and self-efficacy that are considered to be the main factors in understanding the reform results. The survey administered at university in the western part of Ukraine to pre-service primary school teachers helped to identify student perception of their efficacy to teach in the New Ukrainian School (NUSH) environment. They were asked questions about the key components of the New Ukrainian School reform, the new requirements for the reformed school environment, their attitude to inclusive education, pedagogy of partnership, teaching practices and strategies, communication skills, professional development. It was concluded that the pre-service teachers in the full time programs, both bachelors and masters, have almost similar level of their perceived self-efficacy, while part-time master’s students, who have more than one year of teaching experience perceive their efficacy at a higher level. The problem areas in the skills are identified that will require some additional adjustment to the curriculum. It is important for universities to teach their students to prioritize knowledge acquisition, developing numerous skills, professional qualities, value system, gaining initial experience, which will ensure their efficacy and self-efficacy to effectively work and implement the objectives of the New Ukrainian School concept. In terms of reforming, the national education system requires the new model of teacher training, that can provide pre-service teachers with quality education and help them feel efficacious to implement the objectives of the New Ukrainian School reform.

Published: August 2021

The urgent transfer of education in Russia to a distance format in the context of
a pandemic has significant differences from a properly planned online learning based on
wide-scale open online courses. Educational organizations that are forced to work with
students remotely in order to reduce the risks of the spread of coronavirus should be
aware of this difference when assessing the effectiveness of so-called "online
learning" using distance learning technologies. Such a drastic measure was forced
and urgent. Not all universities were ready for this radical restructuring of the
educational process based on objectively different levels of development of information
infrastructure, provision of disciplines with electronic educational resources, and
readiness of teachers to use digital platforms and services in the educational process.
This article analyzes the capabilities of online educational platforms and the opinions
of students and teachers, who teach and study online in conditions of the
pandemic.

Published: August 2021

The article describes the conditions, forms, and methods of optimizing research
activities of future social workers in the Ukrainian society in unstable times. It
aimsto offer a methodical model to develop research skills in future social workers and
experimentally verify the system of training them for research activities. The research
hypothesis is that one can discover more effective forms and methods of research
activities due to the reasonable changes in educational conditions and the consideration
of current trends in social work, which will lead to qualitative and quantitative
results. Research methods are theoretical (generalization, comparison, pedagogical
modelling) and practical (diagnostics, formation). The formative stage of the research
provided a logical sequence of three stages: initial (1-2 courses); basic (3-4 courses);
professional (1-2 courses of master's level). Experimental diagnostics involved the use
of standardized methods, questionnaires, tests, expert evaluation. The total number of
EG students was 118 people, the total number of CG students -121. The analysis of the
results shows that at the end of the experiment the level of readiness of future social
workers for R&D in the experimental sample is much higher than in the control. The
number of students with a high level of readiness for R&D in the experimental sample
increased by 16.9% and is 24.6% (in the control sample this figure is 13.2%). The
effectiveness of the developed system of professional training of future social workers
for R&D is ensured by the implementation of certain pedagogical conditions: the
formation of motivation for R&D involvement of first-year students; providing research
content of disciplines of fundamental, professional and practical training of social
workers; use of differentiated learning technology in the process of research training
of masters of social work; use of ICT (information and communication
technologies).
The Publicity of Education: Challenges of Modern Communication Strategies
Authors: Vasylieva Lyudmila , Procenko Olga , Chmykhun Svitlana
Published: August 2021

The article investigates the publicity phenomenon in modern education as a
moral-communicative discourse of a technogenic society. The study confirms that a
person's identity falls under the manipulative influence and becomes the target of
direct social and communicative coercion in the public environment. The educational
environment includes a lot of public informatization. The article proves that
educational media practices in public communications form certain public strategies such
as the social organization of society, its socio-cultural norms, and values. The nature
of these strategies is sometimes contrived, perfunctory and favorable for information
confrontation, serves the only material interests and needs. The study proves that the
concept of communicative competence of modern youth, which is constantly in a changing,
information-saturated public environment, becomes especially important in the modern
educational environment. It must have complex communication skills of social and public
adaptation, techniques of effective interpersonal communication in which morality would
not have a hidden nature, would not focus only on the physiologically-hidden nature of a
person and would not invent surrogate identities. Such kind of publicity including the
skills of communicative competence in the educational environment is the requirements of
a modern technogenic civilization trying to survive. It is stated that in the present
time when information and communication can act as effective activators of value-moral
principles of educational culture. Such communication skills are necessary for the fast
formation of sustainable principles of cross-cultural understanding that would support
the values of tolerance and a healthy lifestyle. In such a case, the development of
science and educational competences of all participants of the educational process
should lead to periodic modification, improvement of the whole system of interpersonal
communication, giving them new forms directed to the tolerance, in which the subject of
communication finds himself in the "Other", or find "Other" in
himself.

Published: August 2021

At the present level of football development, the requirements for athletic skills
are increasing. Given a fierce competition in the international and national sports
arena as never before, it is important to mobilize functional reserves and maximize
individual inclinations of players to demonstrate the highest capability for sport in
the period optimal for it. It is precisely a long-term training programme focused on the
demonstration of natural inclinations that is a strategic area in the training of
qualified athletes under the current conditions. Adhering to qualitative characteristics
of the training process should become the basis for evaluating the rational structure of
a long-term training process. The paper aims to theoretically and methodically justify
the periods of training sessions and competitions of youth football players. Research
methods are the following: general theoretical methods (analysis, synthesis,
abstraction, comparison, generalization and descriptive mathematical statistics),
systemic theoretical methods (structural analysis, functional analysis,
structural-and-functional analysis, historical method, system modelling), a study of the
printed and electronic sources of information, description, interviewing, expert survey.
An analysis of scientific and methodological literature, legal documents and training
programmes adopted in the countries with a high level of football development has made
it possible to construct models of annual programs based on the years of study with
further regulation of cycles of training sessions and competitions. Rational
construction of the system of footballers’ long-term training is based on the
introduction of changes in the organization and holding of children’s and youth
competitions, pedagogical principles of managing sports activities and technologies for
training youth football players, as well as methods of evaluating children’s coaches’

In the light of new information, environmental, educational and production conditions, the problem of creating a health-promoting environment in a technical university appears to be rather important and needs to be studied in detail. The research aims to develop, justify and experimentally verify pedagogical conditions for forming competency in health promotion in technical students using physical education. The experiment involved two groups of students (Years 1-4): 241 individuals in the experimental group (EG) and 237 individuals in the control group (CG). Research methods include pedagogical observations, surveys, tests, self-evaluation, expert evaluation of students? practical skills, analysis of personal valeological and sport diaries of students; modelling in the framework of ascertaining and formative stages of the experiment; quantitative analysis of empirical data and its quality presentation; statistical verification of the proposed pedagogical conditions and the research hypothesis, the use of relevant tests (the Ruffier-Dickson index, the Cooper test) and quantitative indicators (Student?s t-test) in order to obtain some objective data on the results from the implementation of the author?s model. At the end of the experiment, most respondents (80 %) in the EG have reached a high level of competency in health promotion using physical education. In the CG, the differences in levels have not shown any significant changes since only 32.5% of respondents have a high level. Therefore, the results of the pedagogical experiment show some positive dynamics and confirm the effectiveness of the designed model and technology for forming competency in health promotion in technical students using physical education, which has made it possible to create qualitatively new conditions of the educational process and enhance students? motivation towards developing and realizing values in this field.

The article formulates theoretical and methodological conditions for developing subjectivity in future primary school teachers in Ukraine. Therefore, it analyzes the Ukrainian experience of teacher training for primary school, as well as the aspects of the primary school teachers’ subjectivity in relevant scientific discourse. Besides, the article contains theoretical generalizations on the issue in question. Research methods include induction and generalization, prognostic methods in combination with modelling of principles of the educational process and sociological methods (used to identify students’ motivation towards teaching). The article proves that Ukraine as “a young democracy” must consider new conditions associated with significant socio-cultural, socio-economic and other changes in the society. It is so because they determine new requirements for the professional training of future primary school teachers. On the other hand, the analysis of relevant literary sources indicates insufficient attention to psychological, methodological, social and other aspects of teacher’s subjectivity. The authors of the article offer the updated definitions of key concepts on the development of teacher’s subjectivity. Also, they summarize theoretical and methodological principles of primary school teachers’ subjectivity in Ukraine and justify the new educational conditions for developing such subjectivity. The novelty of the research lies in its addressing the issue of developing subjectivity in future primary school teachers under the realities of Ukrainian education, which is still on the path of development.

The purpose of the article is to summarize the experience of Western and Eastern European scholars on the modern view of the components and activities of the subjectivity of the teacher of this profession in order to increase its didactic and educational effectiveness. It’s proved that the subjectivity of the primary school teacher is defined as a complex functional autonomy of the system, which is formed, developed, built and transformed by him in the process of life, acquisition of pedagogical education and experience of pedagogical activity. Such subject-oriented manifestations of the teacher's personality as activity (ability to conscious self-determination of creative pedagogical activity) are described; productivity (its complex ability, on the one hand, to transform the educational reality in the classroom into a humane educational environment and the student in the subject of creative learning, and on the other - to constant subjective, professional and professional self-development and self-improvement in teaching, improving the results of their activities and themselves as a subject of pedagogical activity.

The article attempts to test the hypothesis of whether the transformation of European values into the social policies of the post-socialist states of Ukraine and Romania contributes to the strengthening of the reflective spirituality, humanity and democracy of their nations. There have been used the following methods: general scientific, historical, retrospective and comparative. The authors have analyzed the problem of inclusive education in Romania and Ukraine in two directions: as a sign of spirituality, religiosity of Ukrainians and Romanians; and as the expressed humanity of the democratic society of Ukraine and Romania. The analysis of the reflexive spirituality of Ukrainians and Romanians is carried out on the basis of philosophical understanding of spirituality and its connection with humanity, which are presented in theoretical researches of the end of the XIX - the beginning of the XXI century. The authors explained that inclusive education is a manifestation of society's humanity towards persons with disabilities, a means of reflexive and spiritual culture of Ukrainians and Romanians. The basic democratic values established in Ukraine and Romania are freedom, openness, tolerance. The space covered by inclusive education in both countries is determined by interdependent and interpenetrating processes of humanization and democratization. The humanistic approach is the basis for the functioning of a democratic society with its system of social ties, archaic values of spirituality, religion, and culture. The values and principles declared by inclusive education are recommended and follow from the content of international documents. The approval of a number of regulatory documents on the introduction of inclusive education indicates that the Ukrainian and Romanian social policies have reached the level of norms declared by international and European legal norms. It has been found out, that the transformation of European values in both countries takes place on the basis of the international human rights instruments. This circumstance has intensified the actualization of the development of inclusion and the manifestation of reflexive spirituality, humanity and democracy.
