Food irradiation: a disconcerting technology
Authors: M Raghul
Published: May 2023

Traditionally, food products are mainly preserved by heating and cooling. With advancements, newer technologies of preservation have been discovered and used, which include pasteurisation, blanching, and sterilisation as modes of heating. Freezing and chilling are modes of cooling; apart from that, chemicals are extensively used. As these processing techniques may reduce the nutritional value of food, minimal food processing techniques have been developed. Irradiating food is one of the tools for minimal processing. It holds higher captivity and is controversial as it uses ionising radiation to sterilise the commodities. It is often perceived as bilateral, meaning that a greater and higher degree of sterilisation can be obtained than with any other method. Later, nutritional destruction, adding junk calories, and the formation of radiotoxins raise major concerns. “Good Food Doesn’t Need Irradiation”.

MANFAAT SENAM HAMIL UNTUK IBU HAMIL DAN PERKEMBANGAN JANIN PADA MASA KEHAMILAN DAN PERSIAPAN PERSALINAN
Authors: Hardianti Salsabila
Published: May 2023

Senam hamil bertujuan untuk mempersiapkan dan melatih otot-otot sehingga dapat dimanfaatkan untuk berfungsi secara optimal dalam persalinan normal. Senam hamil ditujukan bagi ibu hamil tanpa kelainan atau tidak terdapat penyakit yang disertai kehamilan, yaitu penyakit jantung, penyakit ginjal, penyulit kehamilan (hamil dengan perdarahan hamil dengan kelainan letak) dan kehamilan disertai anemia. Senam hamil merupakan bagian dari perawtan antenatal pada beberapa pusat pelayanan Kesehatan tertentu, seperti rumah sakit, pusakesmas, klinik ataupun pusat pelayanan Kesehatan yang lainnya (Muhimah dan Safi’I, 2010). Pergerakan dan Latihan senam kehamilan tidak saja menguntungkan sang ibu, tetapi juga sangat berpengaruh terhadap Kesehatan bayi yang dikandungnya. Pada saat bayi mulai dapat bernafas sendiri, maka oksigen akan mengalir kepadanya melalui plasenta, yaitu dari aliran darah ibunya ke dalam aliran darah bayi yang dikandung. Senam kehamilan akan menambah jumlah oksigen dalam darah di seluruh tubuh sang ibu dan karena itu aliran oksigen kepada bayi melalui plasenta juga akan menjadi lebih lancer (Sani, 2002).Senam hamil bagi ibu hamil adalah salah satu bagian penting yang harus anda perhatikan sebagai persiapan untuk proses persalinan nantinya.Selama kehamilan, ibu mengalami perubahan fisik dan kejiwaan/emosi ibu hamil. Pada masa kehamilan, emosi mudah turun dan naik, yang terjadi akibat perubahan hormon. Adapun kecemasan menjelang pesalinan ibu hamil akan muncul pernyataan dan bayangan apakah dapat melahirkan normal, cara mengejan, apakah akan terjadi sesuatu saat melahirkan, atau apakah bayi lahir selamat, akan semakin muncul dalam benak ibu, kondisi ini dapat menyebabkan kecemasan dan ketegangan lebih lanjut sehingga membentuk suatu siklus umpan balik yang dapat meningkatkan intensitas emosional secara keseluruhan. Untuk memutuskan siklus kecemasan tersebut, maka senam hamil sebagai salah satu pelayanan prenatal, merupakan suatu alternatif terapi yang dapat diberikan pada ibu hamil.

Fluid inclusions technique for porphyry deposit exploration: The Rosario porphyry Cu-Mo deposit
Authors: Avalos Sebastian , Avalos Nicolas
Published: May 2023

Porphyry ore deposits are the largest source of copper, molybdenum, gold, and silver in the world. Various exploration techniques have been developed due to their importance as a source of metals. A special focus has been devoted to understanding the processes of hydrothermal fluids as mineralization drivers. Fluid inclusions provide direct information about the fluids involved in the hydrothermal genesis of the ore deposit. They convey temperature and mineral composition information conditioned to the salinity of the fluid system. Thus, fluid inclusion analysis works as an additional tool for porphyry ore deposit exploration.We present a new exploration technique based on the properties of PVTX fluids to find porphyry copper. The Collahuasi district located in the North of Chile has 2 currently exploited and known porphyry: Rosario and Ujina porphyries. The investigation was carried out around the Rosario porphyry, which has reserves estimated at 2.18 BTon (0.91% Cu). Potassium, propylitic, quartz-sericite, argillic and advanced argillic alteration have been identified in this area. The latter was associated with high sulfidation veins, possibly related to a second unknown intrusion, named the Rosario Oeste zone.The petrographic study of fluid inclusions was carried out on more than 300 drilling samples from Rosario and Rosario Oeste. 7 classifications of the types of FI that occur, these are: liquid-rich fluid inclusions, FI steam-rich, FI with coexistence of liquid and vapour, FI rich in liquid with halite, FI liquid-rich with halite coexisting with vapour, FI rich in liquid with chalcopyrite and FI with solids. The veins were classified with the support of the Collahuasi geology team, as veins type A, B, C, D, E, TES, and only quartz. The main alterations defined to use were: propylitic and argillic.This information, an exploration model called the Copper Porphyry Probability Index (CPPI) is generated. All this information was integrated into a 2D and 3D model to study the spatial distribution of these parameters. It is concluded that boiling is present throughout the system in the upper and lower zones. Higher salinity and metal content in the fluid are recognized, positively correlating with the presence of type B and D veins and with high CPPI values, showing these in the direction of Rosario Oeste.These similarities in shallow and deep parts, which correlate with two high-grade Cu-Mo zones, suggest the presence of two simultaneous mineralizing centers or the possibility of recurrent mineralization by a low-angle structural process.
MinDet1: A Deep Learning-enabled Approach for Plagioclase Textural Studies
Authors: Toth Norbert , Maclennan John
Published: May 2023

Textural information, such as crystal size distributions (CSDs) or crystal aspect ratios are powerful tools in igneous petrography for interrogating the thermal history of rocks. They facilitate the investigation of crystal nucleation, growth and mixing as well as the cooling rate of the rock. However, they require large volumes of crystal segmentations and measurements that are often obtained with manual methods. Here a deep learning-based computer vision technique, termed instance segmentation, is proposed to automate the pixel-by-pixel detection of each plagioclase crystal in thin section images. Using predictions from a re-trained model the physical properties of the detected crystals, such as size and aspect ratio, can be rapidly generated to provide textural insights. The present segmentations are validated against published results from manual approaches to prove the method's accuracy. The power and efficiency of this automated approach is showcased by analysing an entire sample suite, segmenting over 48,000 crystals in only a matter of days. Widescale use of this method is expected to drive significant developments in the igneous petrography and related fields
Ecological Flows in Southern Europe: status and trends in non-perennial rivers
Authors: Leone Marianna , Gentile Francesco , Lo Porto Antonio , Ricci Giovanni , De Girolamo Anna Maria
Published: May 2023

The concept of environmental flows (E-Flows) describes the streamflow that is necessary to maintain river ecosystems. Although a large number of methods have been developed, a delay was recorded in implementing E–Flows in non-perennial rivers. The general aim of the paper was to analyse the criticalities and the current state of implementation of the E-Flows in non-perennial rivers of southern Europe. The specific objectives were to analyse (i) the European Union (EU) and national legislation on E-Flows, and (ii) the methodologies currently adopted for setting E-Flows in non-perennial rivers in the EU Member States (MSs) of the Mediterranean Region (Spain, Greece, Italy, Portugal, France, Cyprus, and Malta). From the analysis of national legislations, it is possible to acknowledge a step forward toward regulatory unification at the European level, on the subject of E-Flows and more generally toward the protection of aquatic ecosystems. The definition of E-Flows, for most countries, has abandoned the idea of a regime of constant and minimal flow, but it recognizes the importance of the biological, and chemical-physical aspects connected to it. From the analysis of the E-Flows implementation through the review of the case studies, one can surmise that in non-perennial rivers the E-Flows science is still an emerging discipline. The limited availability of hydrological, hydraulic, and biological data as well as the restricted economic resources allocated for managing non-perennial rivers are the main causes of the delay in the E-Flows implementation in MSs. The results of the present study may contribute in setting an E-Flow regime in non-perennial rivers.
Over-the-counter hearing aids challenge the core values of traditional audiology
Authors: Menon Katherine N. , Hoon-Starr Michelle , Shilton Katie , Hoover Eric
Published: May 2023

Purpose: Regulatory changes in the United States introduced over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids with the goal of increasing the accessibility and affordability of hearing healthcare. It is critical to understand the values inherent to hearing healthcare systems to evaluate their effectiveness in serving people with hearing difficulty. In this study, we evaluated the relative importance of values across service delivery models, and the extent to which the introduction of OTC hearing aids represents a values shift relative to traditional audiology. Method: We performed a qualitative content analysis of two document categories: critique documents that motivated the creation of OTC hearing aids, and regulatory documents that defined OTC hearing aids. Team members coded portions of text for the values they expressed. In total, 29,235 words were coded across 72 pages in four documents. Rank-order analyses were performed to determine the prioritization of values within each category of documents and subsequently compare values between OTC and traditional audiology documents analyzed in a previous study. Results: Critique and regulatory documents both prioritized values related to reducing barriers to hearing aid access and use but the lack of a significant correlation in the rank order of values in these documents was evidence of inconsistency between the motivation and implementation of OTC hearing aids. Differences in the rank order of values in the OTC documents compared to traditional audiology were consistent with a values shift. Conclusions: The introduction of OTC as a solution to low hearing aid use represents a values shift, challenging the values of traditional audiology. This research demonstrates a need to establish the values of hearing healthcare service delivery through a consensus of stakeholders, including individuals from diverse backgrounds underserved by the traditional model.
Explaining political differences in attitudes to vaccines in France: partisan cues, disenchantment with politics and political sophistication
Authors: Ward Jeremy Keith , Cortaredona Sebastien , Touzet Hugo , Gauna Fatima , Peretti-Watel Patrick
Published: May 2023

In this article, we contribute to current debates on the role of partisan cues and political sophistication in explaining vaccine hesitancy by drawing on surveys conducted in France. We test whether partisan differences in attitudes to vaccines are best explained by partisan cues or by parties’ differences in propensity to attract people who distrust the actors involved in vaccination policies. We find a small effect of partisan cues and a much stronger effect of trust. But more importantly, we show that the more politically sophisticated are less vaccine hesitant and that the non-partisan are the biggest and most vaccine-hesitant group. To expose the implications of these results, we draw on the sociology of symbolic boundaries and the sociology of disenchantment with politics. We argue that the more politically sophisticated are more likely to be made aware of when politicians cross the lines of acceptable political debate.

The Neural Ingredients for a Language of Thought are Available
Authors: Kazanina Nina , Poeppel David
Published: May 2023

The classical notion of a ‘language of thought’ (LoT), advanced prominently by the philosopher Jerry Fodor, is an influential position in cognitive science whereby the mental representations underpinning thought are considered to be compositional and productive, enabling the construction of new complex thoughts from more primitive symbolic concepts. LoT theory has been challenged because a neural implementation has been deemed implausible. We disagree. Critical ingredients needed for a neural implementation of a LoT have in fact been demonstrated in the hippocampal spatial navigation system in rodents and other animals. We show that cell types found in spatial navigation – border cells, object cells, head-direction cells, etc. – provide key types of representations and computations required for the LoT, underscoring its neurobiological viability.
Balance-Land: a gamified rehabilitation program for people with Persistent Perceptual Postural Dizziness (PPPD) and visual vertigo
Authors: Goodwin Nathan , Sumner Petroc , Loizides Fernando , Derry-Sumner Hannah , Rajenderkumar Deepak , Powell Georgina
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND: Persistent Perceptual Postural Dizziness (PPPD) is typically treated through vestibular rehabilitation, which can be unpleasant and not well adhered to. Gamification has helped rehabilitation adherence in other domains.OBJECTIVE: To create a virtual rehabilitation tool with patients and clinicians that is: accessible to novice game users; engaging to increase treatment adherence; flexible over pace and visual complexity.METHODS: We developed Balance-Land over three phrases of feedback and improvement. In Phases 1 and 2, people with PPPD and visual vertigo symptoms (N =21) provided feedback via questionnaires and interviews, and 6 clinicians provided feedback in Phase 3. RESULTS: By phase 2, accessibility and usability was rated 79 on the System Usability Scale, placing it well within the range of commercial games. Enjoyment was rated moderately low (3.4/10 土2.0), partly due to symptom provocation, but participants said it was more enjoyable than standard rehabilitation. Participants confirmed that the virtual worlds and adaptable speed control provided flexibility over symptom stimulation. All participants said they would play the game if shown to improve symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Balance-Land is potentially a useful rehabilitation tool for PPPD, but rehabilitation efficacy is yet to be tested.

Authors: Leenaerts Nicolas , Soyster Peter D. , Ceccarini Jenny , Sunaert Stefan , Fisher Aaron Jason , Vrieze Elske
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Machine learning could play a key role in the development of new interventions for bulimia nervosa (BN) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) as it can be used to predict and identify specific triggers of binge behavior in daily life. Therefore, this study has the following two aims. First, to evaluate person-specific and pooled prediction models for binge eating (BE), alcohol use and binge drinking (BD) in daily life. Second, to identify important predictors for these behaviors. Methods: A total of 120 patients (BN: 50; AUD: 51; BN/AUD: 19) participated in an experience sampling study, where over a period of 12 months they reported on their eating and drinking behaviors as well as on several other emotional, behavioral and contextual factors in daily life. The study had a burst-measurement design, where assessments occurred 8 times a day on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays in 7 bursts of 3 weeks. Afterwards, person-specific and pooled models were fit with elastic net regularized regression and evaluated with cross-validation. From these models, the variables with the 10% highest estimates were identified. Results: The person-specific models had a median AUC of 0.61, 0.80, and 0.85 for BE, alcohol use and BD respectively, while the pooled models had a median AUC of 0.70, 0.90, and 0.93. The most important predictors across the different behaviors were craving, and time of day. However, predictors concerning social context and affect differed between BE, alcohol use and BD.Conclusion: This study shows that BE, alcohol use and BD can be predicted in daily life, but that pooled models outperformed person-specific models and that models for alcohol use and BD outperformed those for BE. Future studies should investigate how model performance can be improved and how these models can be used to deliver interventions in daily life.
Big-team science does not guarantee generalizability
Authors: Ghai Sakshi , Forscher Patrick S. , Chuan-Peng Hu
Published: May 2023

A new era of global “big team science” studies has transformed human behavior research. These innovative studies rely on a large, distributed network of participants from different parts of the world and represent a substantial advancement over the average study in psychology that rarely goes beyond a single demographic population (e.g., North American undergraduates)1. Here we examine one such big team science project which claimed the “globalizability” of temporal discounting, the phenomenon in which the subjective value of deferred rewards is smaller than immediate rewards2. We argue that, although this study represents a substantial advance over the typical psychology study in its sampling approach, claims of global generalizability are overstated given the samples collected. Although the project recruited 171 researchers from 109 institutions, and 13,629 research participants speaking 40 languages across 61 countries, relying solely on the typical big team methodology created an illusion of generalizability, leading authors to overestimate the extent to which research findings can be applied globally. Across low-and-middle-income (LMICs) and high-income countries (HICs) included in Ruggeri et al.2, we find samples were all similarly young, well-educated, urban, and digitally connected. This homogeneity belies the heterogeneity present within each country3,4. To avoid this illusion of generalizability, we argue that researchers should carefully consider three dimensions of diversity: sample, author and methodological diversity.

The Ganges River Basin is the most populous region in the world. People living in and around the Basin rely mainly on the Ganges River to meet their growing water requirements. However, the Ganges River is mostly fed by the rivers that originate in Nepal and Tibet Autonomous Region of China. This paper explores the possibility of Nepal using water as a driver for the development of the region as part of its regional diplomacy.
Federalism: New Avenue for Nepal’s Development Diplomacy
Authors: Upadhyaya Liladhar
Published: May 2023

Nepal has entered into a new governance model under the federal structure. It is a basic format of the new constitution assimilating federalism from its preamble to other relevant articles of the Constitution of Nepal. It is a new system for Nepal, and the nation should focus on enduring the system by rectifying lapses of federalism. It is criticized for being expensive and promoting means of corruption, but it can give positive results if we apply the principles and practices of federalism with due attention. As federalism is the basic guiding principle of the new political and constitutional context, the development diplomacy of the country should steer the path under the federal structure. Nepal's foreign policy is mainly guided by mutual respect territorial integrity and sovereignty; non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, respect for mutual equality, non-aggression, and the peaceful settlement of disputes, cooperation for mutual benefit, abiding faith in the Charter of the United Nations and value of world peace. Development diplomacy is also an expansion of these principles and practices for the prosperity of the nation. The ultimate goal of every form of diplomacy is to optimize national interest and promote world peace. Nepal has challenges as well as opportunities to get benefit from the means of development diplomacy under the federal system of governance. This article briefly talks about development diplomacy in the changed context of Nepal.

Authors: Acharya Keshab , Poudel Suchana , Acharya Dhurba
Published: May 2023

Allelopathy is a biotic interaction between plants where one plant inhibits the germination and growth of other plants by releasing certain allelochemicals. In this research we evaluated the allelopathic effect of aqueous leaf extract of Lantana camara on the germination and growth of four crop plants. The experiment was conducted in sterilized petri dishes in Botany lab of Saptagandaki Multiple Campus, Bharatpur, Chitwan, Nepal. The effect of different concentrations of extracts was studied and compared with the control. The results revealed that the germination and seedling growth of all species were significantly inhibited at different concentrations as compared to the control. The lowest germination percentage and seedling growth was found in Brassica campestris and Oryza sativa plant respectively and effect was least in Triticum aestivum plant at 10% concentration. The germination percentages, seedling growth and, biomass in all species were observed to reduce, with the increasing concentration of aqueous extracts. The study concluded that Lantana camara leaf extract allelochemicals have adverse effects on germination, seedling growth and dry matter accumulation of all tested crops.
Power of Reading: Reading as a Strategy for Learning English
Authors: Bharati Padam Lal
Published: May 2023

Why don’t language acquirers take advantage of the power of reading goes the heading of Krashen’s 1997 article in which he cites studies that establish with evidence that through extensive reading learners can acquire larger vocabularies, do better in spelling, writing skills and in tests of grammar. In other words, he claims that reading serves as powerful means of developing one’s competence in the second language because it provides the required input. Drawing from my own experience of exclusively relying on reading strategy for English language learning, I argue, with Krashen, that extensive reading or free voluntary reading is a powerful means of developing the second language competence (Kim & Krashen 1997, Krashen 2004). I adopt autoethnography as my method of inquiry and look back upon my own recollections of how I utilized ‘reading’ as a default strategy in developing a working knowledge of the English language. I use a retrospective composition I wrote back in the year 2012, which recounts my struggle for learning English through my school years to the days of my early career as a teacher of English, as my data text and adopt qualitative interpretive analysis.

Authors: Chalise Dhan Raj
Published: May 2023

Financial information is the document that presents the overall financial health of the organization. This study examines the influence of financial information on stock price behavior of Nepalese commercial banks. Twelve commercial banks are selected as a sample out of total twenty-six commercial banks of Nepal based on operation more than ten years with availability of necessary information. This study utilizes quantitative research approach with causal-comparative research design. Adopting descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis for data analysis, study found that financial information like net interest margin, net profit margin, dividend payout ratio and capital adequacy ratio have significant positive influence on determining stock price behavior of Nepalese commercial banks. In addition, evidence indicates that financial information is the major influencing factor while determining stock price and investment decision so investors should properly analyze financial information for superior investment decision.
Body Purity in Cultural Discourse: An Alternative to Woman's Liberation in Nabin Subba’s Numafung
Authors: Senehang Dipankar
Published: May 2023

The notion of purity of women in Nepali society is practiced as a discourse as qualitative measurement of their existence. However, the discourse in shaped and conditioned by various cultural mores and normativities. This discourse, neutralizing their status without comprehending their aspirations and grievances, subordinates women. In this light, this paper, deploying Foucauldian notion of discourse, Simone de Beauvoir’s concept of the female, analyzes concept of purity of body as depicted in Nabin Subba's movie, Numafung. Moreover, it argues that Numafung challenges the prevailing notion and presents an alternative depiction of a woman’s body from a cultural location, representing the aesthetic of the Limbu people. The protagonist of the movie, Numa, debunks the pervasive social structure, getting married three times in different forms. The movie presents a case that although the dominant group may disseminate discursive truths, minimal affirmation of subordinated groups keeps on jeopardizing the discourse through their cultural practices. Thus, analysis implies that cultural inclusion and the recognition of subordinated groups in the practice of societal values can be an alternative through which women’s liberation is possible.
Learning Accessibility during the COVID-19 Era: An Overview
Authors: Baral Raj K.
Published: May 2023

As face-to-face teaching-learning modality was not both feasible and adequate to continue the learning process during COVID-19, instructors resorted to flexible distant learning options. They used digital as well as print-based multimodal texts to ease teaching-learning activities and minimize learning loss during the period. The use of flexible modes of teaching like Universal Design (UD), multimodality, closed captioning on video programs, accessible assessment, and ways of using chat boxes for additional and meta-conversation helped address problems of dis/ability in both desperate and/or more normal times. This article reviews the attempts to ensure learning accessibility, and basically draws on secondary resources and data, to extract the relevant data and information to support its claim. The article concludes that, though it was a compulsion, as a lesson of the COVID-19 pandemic, instructors and learners learned ways to cope with challenging times in academia. Their knowledge on utilizing new tools and strategies helped minimize the gaps exacerbated by the pandemic in issues like equity, access, and engagement and will be a valuable lesson for any possible hard times in the future.

Sistem pengelolaan keuangan saat ini masih dilakukan dengan cara konvensional yaitu pencatatan data input, data output dan penyusunan laporan keuangan masih dilakukan satu per satu sehingga menyebabkan ketidakakuratan dan juga menyebabkan keterlambatan waktu. Yang dimaksud dengan data masukan dan data keluaran adalah transaksi arus kas masuk dan arus kas keluar yang masih dicatat dalam buku kas umum. Sehingga dalam proses pencatatan keuangan tersebut akan menimbulkan kesulitan dalam pencatatan dan kemungkinan besar akan rentan terhadap hilangnya pencatatan berupa pencatatan transaksi penerimaan dan pengeluaran kas serta kesulitan dalam menentukan laba rugi sehingga memakan waktu. untuk membuat catatan keuangan. ke dalam buku besar umum. sehingga penulis memiliki ide untuk merancang sebuah aplikasi pencatatan keuangan berupa sistem informasi akuntansi pengelolaan keuangan berbasis web agar data transaksi masuk dan keluar tersimpan dalam database online dan informasi keuangan dapat diketahui secara cepat dan akurat oleh pemilik dari Yayasan.

تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى بيان فكرة العدالة عند نانسي فريزر التي تؤلف بين مطلب الاعتراف الذي ينتمي إلى السجل الرمزي والثقافي ومطلب إعادة التوزيع الذي يشتغل داخل المجال الاقتصادي المادي. وههنا سنركز على مفهوم المشاركة المتكافئة الذي تقترحه فريزر، بوصفه نقطة ارتكاز نظريتها في العدالة؛ إذ يفترض الفعل الاجتماعي المشاركة المتكافئة من دون عوائق، سواء كانت عقبات مرتبطة بإجراءات توزيعية، أو كانت نماذج ممأسسة للمعايير الثقافية، أو كانت قواعد لأخذ القرارات السياسية. وسنقوم بذلك بالتساوق مع تحديد الرهانات الفكرية والدواعي العملية التي دفعتنا لاختيار فكرة العدالة عند فريزر.
THEORETICAL AND ANALYTICAL REVIEW OF THE DEFINITION OF "FOOD SECURITY" AND THE ROLE OF THE PORTS OF GREATER ODESSA IN OVERCOMING THE GLOBAL CRISIS
Authors: PAVLOVA I.Y.
Published: May 2023

Topicality. With the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the russian federation on the territory of Ukraine, economic activity suffered serious damage, including damage to agriculture. Which in turn leads to a problem in the sphere of ensuring state and international food security.Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is the theoretical substantiation of the definition of "food security" and the analysis of the activities of the ports of Great Odesa in relation to the regulation of the crisis situation in matters of international food security.Materials and methods. Empirical, theoretical, analytical and synthesis models of scientific research were used in this article. The graphic method of scientific research and the grouping method were also used in the work.Research results. The article analyzes the scientific literature and legal acts of the theoretical apparatus of the term "food security". This term was generalized to a single concept based on current events taking place in Ukraine. An analysis of the operation of the ports of Greater Odessa (Odesa, Chornomorsk, Pivdenny) was also carried out, based on data for 2021 and current indicators obtained from the modern database "Black Sea Grain Initiative Vessel Movements". During the analysis, it was determined that agricultural products such as corn (1.821 million tons and 1.757 million tons, respectively) are mostly exported from the ports of Chornomorsk and Pivdenny. Wheat, in turn, is in second place in the ranking of the most popular exported agricultural crops, but it is the first in the port of "Odesa" - 1.261 million tons. A rating of exporting countries was also compiled: Turkey took first place, followed by Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Egypt, and others.Conclusion. The conducted analysis of the current state of food security, especially the influence of the seaports of Greater Odessa on solving the crisis situation, indicates that, of course, there is a decrease in the export of grain crops to the countries of Asia, Europe and Africa, but the experience gained during the implementation of the "Grain Agreement" can be used in order to improve the transport management of food security of Ukraine.
Міждисциплінарний дидактичний комплекс «Сучасна природничо-наукова картина світу» в системі особистісного та професійного становлення майбутнього вчителя природничих наук
Authors: Мартинюк Михайло , Підгорний Олександр
Published: May 2023

Природничо-наукова картина світу як узагальнена система сучасного природничо- наукового знання, опанована вчителем природничих наук (професійна кваліфікація: вчитель природничих наук, фізики, хімії, біології) характеризує його як людину освічену, професійно- компетентну й конкурентно здатну в сучасних соціокультурних умовах. Лише вчитель, носій сучасної природничо-наукової картини світу, може бути успішним у формуванні в учнів «ключових компетентностей в галузі природничих наук, техніки і технологій» та цілісних уявлень про світ як дійсність, своє місце і роль в ньому.

Як творець своєї власної природничо-наукової картини світу, майбутній вчитель природничих наук має свідомо і цілеспрямовано опановувати системно-узагальнені науково- теоретичні знанням в галузі багатьох природничих наук та в науковій природничій галузі в цілому. Звісно ж, цьому має сприяти й певна організація освітнього процесу в закладі освіти, де він здобуває фахову кваліфікацію.

У зв'язку з цим в статті обґрунтовується, що вивченню фахових дисциплін (фізики, хімії, біології) майбутніми вчителями природничих наук має передувати освоєння ними інтегрованого курсу «Сучасна природничо-наукова картина світу», побудованого на основі міжпредметного діалогу (переважно на базі знань в межах програм старшої школи). В основу відбору і структурування навчальних матеріалів пропонованого курсу покладено наступні змістово-процесуальні лінії.

Лінія світоглядно-методологічних уявлень про сутність понять: матеріальний світ; природничо-наукова картина світу (в цілому і в якості особистісної характеристики вчителя) та її роль в особистісному і професійному становленні здобувача фахової природничої освіти.

Лінія базових загальнонаукових знань про: матерію та корпускулярно-хвильовий континуум як її першооснову; рух, простір і час як форми існування матерії і як загальнонаукові поняття; рівні структурування матерії; причинність і випадковість подій та речей в природі.

Лінія теоретичних узагальнень у частині окремих спеціально-предметних знань за схемою: базові спеціально-предметні знання → фрагментарна природнича картина світу → природничо-наукова картина світу → індивідуальна природничо-наукова картина вчителя.

Послідовне і системне використання сучасного фізичного знання, як знання фундаментального, при поясненні конкретних спеціально-предметних знань з усіх інших природничих наук. Аспектний характер фізичного знання стосовно інших природничих наук є наративом й при структуруванні навчального матеріалу пропонованого курсу та формування його загальної структури.

Результати педагогічного експерименту підтверджують ефективність вивчення пропонованого навчального курсу та вказують на доцільність його застосування в освітньому середовищі закладу вищої освіти, який здійснює підготовку вчителів природничих наук, фізики, хімії, біології.
