ABSTRACT

The accounting function has an essential role in the progress of a company. This is because the results of the accounting function carried out by accountants are fair, accountable, transparent and reliable financial statements. The financial statements are the main indicator of The Company's performance, as well as an instrument for investors to make strategic decisions. There are several important indicators that can be assessed from the financial statements, such as the level of liquidity and solvency of The Company. Accountants are professions which has an important role in the preparation of these financial statements. The accounting profession needs to be fostered and developed for high school students in order to produce the next generation of competent young accountants.

Published: November 2023

A site of land used as gas station has been filled to the ground level with the level of the road that passes near the station site. To hold the landfill, a 4000mm high retaining wall was built, but the construction of this wall was made without adequate planning resulting in damage in the form of collapse in several parts of the wall. The andesite stone material used is a textured stone that tends to be round with a smooth surface and is bound with a cement mortar that is too thick so that the bond is not strong enough. The damage of the wall has been identified and could lead to the collapse of the wall which could endanger people who pass near the wall. The proposed improvement is to partially dismantle the old wall and construct a new retaining wall built on the inside of the land along the old wall where the old retaining wall was dismantled. To ensure that the new wall has a strong bond with the old wall, at some point bonding reinforcement are installed between the old and new walls. The new wall is designed with sufficient attention to overturning, shearing, the bearing capacity of soil and overall stability, according to standard design. The andesite stone material used is crushed so that the surface texture of the stone is not slippery to ensure a better bond with the sand-cement mixture. The composition of the cement-sand mortar is made 1:4. To prevent groundwater from being trapped behind the wall, groundwater drainage channels have been designed at several points so that water that seeps into the soil layer can immediately spill out through these channels. This design recommendation was provided to the landowners and subsequently construction of additional strengthening wall has been carried out. In designing and analyzing this additional wall.

Published: November 2023

Bencana merupakan peristiwa yang tidak dapat dihindari serta mengancam dan mengganggu kehidupan masyarakat yang disebabkan oleh faktor alam dan faktor manusia. Bencana yang menjadi fokus dalam kegiatan PKM ini adalah bencana kebakaran. Kebakaran merupakan suatu peristiwa ketika sebuah bangunan dilanda api dari suatu sumber api tertentu dan dapat mengakibatkan kerugian berupa harta benda maupun korban jiwa serta terjadi dimana saja secara tiba-tiba. Pada saat terjadi kebakaran, api sangat cepat merambat jika area dimana sumber api berada terdapat banyak barang yang terbuat dari bahan yang mudah terbakar seperti plastik dan kayu. Pada umumnya beton pada suatu bangunan biasa tidak dapat menahan panas diatas 250°C, jika beton mengalami perubahan suhu yang melebihi batas tersebut, beton akan mengalami perubahan fisik seperti warna dan munculnya keretakan akibat dari perubahan reaksi kimiawi pada komposisi campuran beton itu sendiri. Jika perubahan fisik dan kekuatan pada beton pasca kebakaran tidak disadari ataupun diantisipasi akan menimbulkan bahaya. Untuk mengurangi dampak akibat terjadinya kebakaran, diperlukan suatu penyuluhan mengenai bahaya yang dapat terjadi pasca terjadinya kebakaran serta simulasi sebagai upaya pencegahan dan persiapan bencana. Pada kegiatan PKM ini dilakukan penyuluhan dengan materi dasar pengetahuan tentang kebakaran dan aspek-aspek penting mengenai kebakaran serta simulasi pertolongan dan penyelamatan diri saat kebakaran terjadi pada bangunan. Dari kegiatan ini, peserta sudah paham mengenai dampak yang diakibatkan oleh pengaruh suhu tinggi pada bangunan beton dan apa yang sebaiknya dilakukan apabila terjadi kebakaran serta cara penanganan yang sesuai untuk kelas kebakaran yang terjadi.
Khalifa Al-Yazia's "The mango tree": tree of life archetype
Authors: Vlasova Yulia Evgenievna , Vavichkina Tatiana Anatolevna
Published: November 2023

The subject of the study is the "world tree" concept, coined by the young writer from the United Arab Emirates, Al-Yazia Khalifa, “The Mango Tree” (2021). The authors are interested in this symbol interpretation. Using the example of an Arab family, the artist creates a picture of the quiet and measured life of Arabs in the province of al-Ain. Through the eyes of a little girl, she describes one sultry day spent in the house of her beloved grandmother, in whose yard a magnificent mango grows. The aspects of life of a large Emirati family are depicted – work, prayer, and meals. The methods of historical and systemic analysis allow the authors to prove that the mango tree is a symbol of the cycle of life continuity. A seed planted in the ground becomes a sprout of hope for a bright future and faith in the inviolability of the traditional family way of life. Cicadas chirping on a tree are the embodiment of the element of air. The fish that family members eat at dinner symbolize water, while cats in the yard represent fire. In the game, the heroine tames four natural elements, beating her fears. Thanks to the fragrant and juicy “king of fruits,” an atmosphere of comfort, prosperity and harmony is created in which several generations of the family grew up. That is why the little girl would not break away from their native roots and would follow their parents’ measured pattern of life.

The method of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is based on the reaction of photoactivation of light-sensitive substances (photosensitizers, PS) by radiation sources with subsequent destruction of tumor cells by reactive oxygen species. First-generation photosensitizers have a number of disadvantages that significantly limit their clinical application. In the present study, a method is being developed for the synthesis of a new generation molecular conjugate based on a widely used natural substance of porphyrin nature is Chlorin e6. The parameters of the new compound were determined by the methods of physicochemical research. As part of a model experiment, it was found that a 20-minute exposure of red light with a wavelength of 645 nm to the conjugate causes an effective increase in the fluorescence intensity which makes it possible to control the exposure of a radiation source. It was shown that after 4 days of contact of cells with the conjugate and irradiation the percentage of non-viable cells was 81,5 ± 4,1 %.

Correlating Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Conformational Changes in Ammonium Complexes of a Flexible Naphthocage
Authors: He Shan , Quan Mao , Yang Liu-Pan , Au-Yeung Ho Yu , Jiang Wei
Published: November 2023

Although conformational changes are fundamental processes in many natural and synthetic supramolecular systems, understanding of the relationship between conformational kinetics and thermodynamics of host-guest binding is very limited because low-energy structural changes are usually fast and difficult to monitor. Described in this work is a kinetic study of the conformational conversion of the inclusion complexes consists of a flexible naphthocage host and quaternary ammonium guests featuring a relatively slow “guest dissociation-host conformational change-guest re-association” con-formational exchange mechanism. For guests of comparable structural features, the overall rate of the conformational change is found to be inversely correlated to the thermodynamic stability of the host-guest complexes, which in turn is related to both the overall structure and local steric properties of the guests. Results from this work that bridge the kinet-ics and thermodynamics of molecular recognition to conformational changes are valuable for an in-depth understanding of the kinetic contributions in guest binding and selectivity.
Unraveling the Stability of Layered Intercalation Compounds through First Principles Calculations: Establishing a Linear Free Energy Relationship with Aqueous Ions
Authors: Kawaguchi Naoto , Shibata Kiyou , Mizoguchi Teruyasu
Published: November 2023

Layered intercalation compounds, in which atoms or molecules (intercalants) are intercalated into layered materials (hosts), are an attractive group of materials that have applications as active materials in batteries and exhibit unique physical properties such as superconductivity and topological electronic states, and have been the subject of various material investigations. However, there is no systematic understanding of which combinations of hosts and intercalants are stable, and it is not easy to design materials from a huge number of combinations. In order to clarify what factors determine the stability of the combinations, we performed system-atic first-principles calculations for materials with a structure in which a single atom is inserted into the host, changing the atom that serves as the intercalant. Then, the intercalation energy, which is the reaction energy between the host and the intercalant, was calculated to evaluate the stability of the interlayer compound. As a result, we found that the intercalation energy can be linearly regressed by a linear regression equation based on the hard and soft acids and bases principle by using two literature values, the standard free Gibbs energy of ion formation and the ion radius of the intercalant. This shows a new possibility that the concept of complex chemistry can be applied to the energetics of layered intercalation compounds and is expected to be applied to battery materials.
Overview of English language teaching challenges
Authors: Levrints Marianna
Published: November 2023

Furnishing language teachers with preparation and professional development opportunities catering to their needs and challenges is central to quality language education. However, there are many omissions in the literature that need addressing in this respect. This paper aims to provide an overview of the challenges English as a foreign language teachers face. Accordingly, it asks two questions: What influence do perceived challenges exert on language teachers and their instructional practices? What challenges do language teachers encounter, especially given the increased demands for learners' language proficiency? Challenges affect language teachers in multiple ways. This influence is traceable to their choice of instructional procedures, patterns of interaction with learners, communication style, usage of the target language, professional identity, curriculum decisions, well-being, job satisfaction, resilience, etc. The challenges language teachers encounter were described in the paper as externally and internally motivated to the teacher, and as discipline-specific or discipline-independent, inherent to teaching in general. External challenges include expectations of teacher competence and language teacher roles, student- and instruction-related issues (discipline, learner motivation, mixed-ability classes, and instructional management), low social status of the teaching profession, lack of financial incentives and resources, language policy, etc. The internal challenges language teachers face are caused by the personal qualities of teachers and an inadequate level of professional competence. Overall, the issues taken up in the paper could highlight the venues for leveraging language and teacher education.
Methodological aspects of teaching Chinese in the field of law
Authors: Freger-Kovalenko Iryna , Turchaninova Dana
Published: November 2023

The article considers the methodological aspects of teaching Chinese in the field of law. Due to the processes of globalization and integration, the demand for learning new languages is growing, and Chinese has gained the particular interest. Future specialists have a high interest in acquiring a wider range of topics. The value of our study is that future translators prioritize the expansion of knowledge in the field of law. The purpose of this study is to ensure intensive acquisition of knowledge and new translation skills in a narrow aspect. The object of our research is the methodological aspects of teaching Chinese, and the subject -professionally-oriented methods and tools of teaching Chinese. The results of the study are a summary of the main provisions on the methodological aspects of teaching. Due to the correct selection of materials, future translators were given the opportunity not only to study basic and everyday vocabulary, but also to learn and develop vocabulary on the subject of jurisprudence. After a survey of students, we identified the most vulnerable areas in the translation of this topic. Such places are, for example, a bad idea of the context of the use of new vocabulary, the problem of lack of experience in working with real documentation, etc. Our approach has therefore been aimed to work to eliminate all the problems listed as much as possible. The teacher should pay serious attention to the development of methodological aspects of teaching and the correct compilation of teaching materials so that students can learn, practice more effectively, and use the material provided. Translation practice classes should help students not only to improve their professional level, but also to hone their skills in conditions close to future occupation.
Teaching mindfulness to ELL students as a social-emotional learning wartime coping strategy: a multimodality perspective
Authors: Shamaieva Yuliia , Chornovol-Tkachenko Ruslan , Avdieienko Iryna
Published: November 2023

This article focuses on exploring the pressing issue of teaching armed conflict affected English language learning (ELL) Ukrainian students to be mindful to better cope with wartime stressors for the sake of their psychological, physical health, intellectual and emotional well-being, enhanced resilience and ethical sustainability. Within the methodological framework of social emotional learning and linguocognitive paradigms, the authors have substantiated the status of the time-tested practice of mindfulness as a coping tool kit to be integrated in teaching English to students in conflict settings. As a result of the study conducted, it has been concluded that consistent practices of teaching mindfulness to students who suffer from war (post)-traumatic stress disorders, depression, anxiety, lack of hope, fear, have promising linguodidactic and psychological implications that result in students’ language performance improvements. On the basis of analytically summarizing methods to implement (non-)verbally represented mindfulness as a coping mechanism in the corresponding EFL environment, the authors have come up with a four-dimensional mindfulness developing model of multimodal coping strategies for war affected ELL students. The matrix model suggested includes problem-focused, emotion-focused, avoidance and faith-based linguodidactic activities with an emphasis on the multimodal nature of mindfulness. The most efficient exercises are presented in the paper. It has been pointed out that mindfulness can be taught through listening, speaking, writing, reading practices, as well as through stimulating verbally and non-verbally actualized visual, auditory, olfactory, haptic, and gustatory types of perception, The pilot research project carried out, whose outcomes are to be perspectively refined, interculturally enriched and amalgamated into a coursebook, has proved that helping ELL students with wartime experience to be more mindful through adaptive coping strategies can mediate and moderate the negative impact of armed conflict trauma on their mental health and well-being.
The state and perspectives of the research into the interplay of verbal and non-verbal means in charismatic communication
Authors: Boichenko Mariia
Published: November 2023

The paper covers a theoretical analysis of the existing scientific research findings which can serve as the basis for further interdisciplinary investigation of the interplay of verbal and non-verbal means in charismatic communication. The author presents a short diachronic review of how the notion of charisma has evolved and been functioning in the scientific domain from ancient times to modern humanitarian studies, in particular psychological, sociological, managerial ones, etc. The review focuses on linguistic research into mass communication, communicative strategies and tactics which can be employed in different types of mass communication, as well as the interplay of verbal, non-verbal and paralingual means in charismatic communication, whose results serve as a basis for further investigation of charismatic communication within the framework of Alla Kalyta’s speech energetic theory, as the theory allows us to consider a complex qualitative and quantitative picture of the self-development of any cognitive phenomenon in general and the specificity of the interplay of verbal and non-verbal means in charismatic communication in particular. The works reviewed in the paper provide the list of universal characteristics of charismatic communication which can be summarised as follows: the effect of a speaker’s charisma is achieved not through separate elements of one’s speech but with the complex interaction of charismatic prosody and speaker’s voice, loudness, tempo of speech, word stress, body language, mimics, gestures, speaker’s age, gender and physical attractiveness, etc. The author comes to the conclusion that the results of this retrospective analysis provide grounds for an interdisciplinary research of charismatic communication within the cognitive approach framework which accounts for all verbal, non-verbal and paralingual means (physiological, psychological, social, etc.) whose interplay allows the audience to perceive a speaker as a charismatic one.
Intertextuality in the media: ecolinguistic approach (based on English fiction)
Authors: Nefyodova Olena
Published: November 2023

The article researches into the effects of references to English fiction in political and pedagogic communication contexts as represented in contemporary feature films. Intertextual references to such fiction texts in the form of quotations are analyzed as an integral component of communication between representatives of the respective linguistic cultures. Such communication often takes the form of a dialogue, in which one communicator quotes a precedent text fragment, important for the respective linguistic culture, and the other completes the quote or identifies it, using the quoted intertext to perform the password function. Such intertextual referencing of core or marginal anthologized texts of a national literature is studied as a way for communicators to construct their shared linguistic-cultural identity, which is seen as an important, though not decisive premise of either communicative concordance or confrontation. The password function performed by the intertext of such fiction texts during a dialogue relies upon cognitively underpinned (un)successful integration of such quotations into the dialogue of the co-locutors sharing the library of culturally-specific reference texts. The chosen perspective, envisaging an analysis of cognitive aspects and communicative effects of quoting fiction texts, expands the explanatory potential of the classic text-centred theory of intertextuality and reveals a new dimension in intertextual referencing.
Profanity in English-Ukrainian translation: creativity vs censorship
Authors: Tulupov Oleg , Kirichenko Eva
Published: November 2023

This article rethinks the rendering of profanity from a cultural translation perspective. Profanity is broadly recognised as one of translation problems but its study has been mostly concentrated on language issues, namely stylistic ones. When viewed in terms of linguistic analysis, profanity is described as low words including argot, slang, jargon, etc. In terms of translation studies these language units are characterized as limited in usage non-normative ones, marked both culturally and emotively and coming in three varieties: abusive, socially and territory conditioned lexis. This study concentrates on the Ukrainian translation of J. D. Salinger’s novel The Catcher in the Rye, which naturally limits profanity to the first two varieties. The methodological underpinning of the research brings into the fore the interdependence and interconnections between translator’s creativity and his ideological stance restricted by censorship. The first edition of the Ukrainian translation by O. Logvynenko was published back in 1984 and it was a fully valued one, judging from a number of republications and Ukrainian readers’ high response.

The translator’s mastery however needs consideration in the social-political context of his activity. The censorship limitations in the Soviet Union of the early 1980-s, though not as strict as they used to be earlier, were still there and included among others the requirement to regard the Russian translation made several decades before as the example to follow. In his obvious willingness to render profanity as an important distinctive feature of the hero’s psychological state, O. Logvynenko had to take it into account. He rendered profanity of the source text in about a half of all the fragments of the target text employing full or partial (functional) equivalents which allowed to preserve emotive connotations. In other cases that constitute a little more than a half of all under study, he sometimes resorted to compensation which had the same effect. Still, in a number of target text fragments emotive connotations are lost as profanity is substituted with normative language units or omitted. A glance into the nature of such cases brings us to the conclusion that they were caused not by the lack of translation decisions but by ideological considerations, namely censorship constraints.
Movement Competency Screen: Rethinking the Rating
Authors: Benoit-Piau Justine , Morin Mélanie , Guptill Christine , Fortin Sylvie , Gaudreault Nathaly
Published: November 2023

Background

Dancers are at high risk of musculoskeletal disorders. There has been a growing interest in the last few years in pre-season screening using tools to evaluate movement competency, among which is the Movement Competency Screen (MCS). It is currently scored using a categorical 3-level rating system, but this method does not seem to take into account the load level of movements. A 5-level scoring system could potentially alleviate this problem.

Hypothesis/Purpose

For each scoring system, to investigate (1) the internal consistency, and (2) the association with transversus abdominis activation (TrA), hip muscle strength and with Functional Movement screen (FMSTM) total score.

Study design

Secondary analyses of a prospective cohort study.

Methods

One hundred and eighteen professional and preprofessional dancers evolving in ballet or contemporary dance were recruited. The MCS was performed and was scored according to the 3- and 5-level scoring systems. The key variables for movement competency that were considered for convergent validity were the activation ratio of the TrA evaluated with ultrasound imaging and hip strength assessed with a handheld dynamometer. Movement competency was also measured with the FMSTM.

Results

Internal consistency was higher for the 5-level scoring of the MCS items ( α=0.548) compared to the 3-level scoring system ( α=0.494). Multiple linear regressions showed that TrA activation, hip adductor strength, and FMSTM could significantly explain 24.0% of the variance for the 5-level scoring system of the MCS whereas hip internal rotator strength and FMSTM could explain only 16.4% of the variance for the 3-level scoring system.

Conclusion

The 5-level scoring system showed better metrologic properties in terms of internal consistency and concurrent validity and therefore, should be preferred over the 3-level scoring system in future research.

Research on the Construction and Quality Improvement of Art Curriculum in Rural Primary Schools
Authors: Li Yanjin
Published: November 2023

Curriculum quality is the foundation of education development and the core element of primary education and teaching. It is a key indicator to measure and evaluate the level of educational development in a country and region. Curriculum quality needs to be examined not only from the perspective of the degree of achievement of the preset curriculum goals, but also from the perspective of students’ subjective feelings and experiences. Art course is the core service provided by the school for students, and the quality of the course is judged by the acquisition and development of students. At the same time, the value of aesthetic education also calls for the reform and improvement of the fine arts curriculum, which requires the fine arts curriculum in all stages in rural areas to get closer and change in this direction. After the promulgation of art curriculum standards, the fine arts curriculum of rural primary schools should follow high quality standards, which is a process of optimization and iteration of various elements of primary art curriculum. The fine arts curriculum of rural primary schools needs to meet the exploration needs of current students, effectively and appropriately develop excellent local resources while enriching the curriculum content, introduce the essence of regional culture and art, improve the evaluation of curriculum quality, and form a scientific curriculum management system, so as to promote the sustainable development of students. According to this understanding, we can improve the quality of art curriculum in rural primary schools from four dimensions: curriculum objectives, curriculum content, curriculum implementation, and curriculum evaluation

Against the backdrop of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the teaching and management of clinical medical interns have been facing tremendous challenges. When interns majoring in clinical medicine enter the internship position,they lack self-protection awareness and have limited ability to respond to unexpected public health events. This article explores the cognitive situation, existing problems, and improvement measures of clinical medical interns in the post-epidemic era. Therefore, this article proposes a series of improvement measures, including strengthening epidemic training and education for interns, enhancing personal protective awareness, and lastly achieving the role transition from intern to doctor.

The construction and operation of logging roads often takes place in unfavorable engineering and geological conditions. Very often, clayey soils with poor physical, mechanical and strength characteristics lie in the bases of logging roads. Improving these soil characteristics is an urgent task. For this purpose, reinforcement of soil bases with the help of geotextile materials is used. Most often, a horizontal arrangement of reinforcing geosynthetic layers is used. To date, there are a large number of studies of reinforced soil structures of logging roads, but they mainly concern the use of geosynthetics in sandy soils. Research in clayey soils is not enough. Therefore, experimental studies of the operation of reinforced foundations in clayey soils were carried out. The paper presents the results of stamp tests of clay soils reinforced with horizontal reinforcing layers. The studies were carried out in two stages. At the first stage, stamp model studies were performed, which made it possible to establish the optimal designs of reinforced clay bases. Based on the results of this stage, a single-layer horizontal reinforcing layer of geosynthetic material with a tensile rigidity of 2100 kN/m, an outer diameter equal to three stamp diameters, located at a depth equal to 0.25 stamp diameters was selected. The base soil was soft plastic clay. At the second stage, field stamping tests of the reinforced and non-reinforced clay base were performed. To study the stress-strain base, pressure sensors were selected to measure vertical normal stresses and a measuring system for their registration. Vertical displacements at various points of the active zone of soil foundations were evaluated by soil marks having a wire connection with deflection meters. The results of stamp tests showed that the bearing capacity of the reinforced base is 1.5 times higher than the bearing capacity of the unreinforced base. The deformation modulus of the reinforced base is 1.18 times higher than the unreinforced base in the load range from 0 to 100 kPa. The reinforcing layer is included in the work when the precipitation of the stamp is more than 30 mm. The stress-strain state of a reinforced base has significant differences from an unreinforced one. The reinforcing layer significantly reduces vertical stresses in the upper part of the active zone of the base, by an average of 22%/. The experimental stamp tests carried out made it possible to obtain a qualitative and quantitative picture of the operation of reinforced clay bases of logging roads.
