The Early Bird Gets The Word Games and Play: Creating a Context For Authentic Language Learning
Authors: Meriläinen Merja , Piispanen Maarika
Published: April 2022

Early foreign language teaching has recently been made compulsory in Finland, making this an area open to development and innovation where policy - makers and teachers play a significant role in creating new kinds of learning environments, operating cultures, and pedagogy for foreign language learning. This article discusses the early foreign language learning landscape in the context of early foreign language learning theory, initial education pedagogy as well as functional foreign language learning. The cornerstone of this study is the Contextual Pedagogical approach to Learning, which creates a bridge between the theory and practice of early foreign language learning, creating an inspiring and stimulating basis for later language learning.
Language is a precondition for learning and thinking. Language is involved in all the activities presented in school and every teacher is a language teacher “(the Finnish National Board of Education 2014, 127). In this article we focus on this idea, presented in the core national curriculum. We attempt to explain the learning environments of language teaching, operational culture, and pedagogical solutions within the theoretical frame of reference of learning another language. The challenges of creating learning environments that support authentic learning experiences, have become still more demanding in today's rapidly changing world.

Günümüzde yaşanan teknolojik gelişmeler, hemşirelerin bilimsel bilgiyi araştırabilme, yenilikçi yöntemler geliştirebilme, etik ilkelere bağlı kalarak hasta haklarını savunabilme gibi çağdaş hemşirelik rollerini yerine getirmesini gerekli
kılmıştır. Hemşirelik mesleğinde değişen bu roller hemşirelerin daha sıklıkla etik ve ahlaki olmayan uygulamalar ile karşı karşıya kalmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle günümüzde ahlaki uygulamaların temel unsuru olarak açıklanan
“ahlaki cesaret” kavramı üzerinde durulmaya başlanmıştır. Ahlaki cesaret kavramı ile ilgili farklı tanımlar yapılmış olmakla birlikte bireyin çalışma ortamında aşağılama, ret, alay, işsizlik ve sosyal durum kaybı yaşayacağını bilmesine
rağmen doğru olanı savunması ve yapmasıdır. Hemşirelik mesleği açısından ahlaki cesaret kavramı değerlendirildiğinde ise; hemşirelerin etik ve ahlaki sorunlar karşısında ya da kendi değerleri ile çelişecek durumlarla karşı karşıya
kaldıklarında mesleki açıdan doğru olanı yapma, değerlere uygun olarak doğru olana karar verebilme ve bunu uygulayabilme eylemi olarak ifade edilmektedir. Hemşireler bu eylemi yerine getirirken mesleki bilgi ve becerilerini kullanabilmeleri
ve mesleki etik yükümlülüklerini yerine getirmeleri oldukça önemlidir. Hemşirelerde ahlaki cesaretin gelişmesi ile klinik alanda karşılaşılan etik ikilemlere yönelik geniş bir bakış açısı geliştirebilmesi, aynı zamanda hasta savunuculuğu
ve hasta güvenliğini sağlayabilmesi açısından da önemli bir yere sahip olduğu düşünülmektedir.
Ethnicity, Archaeology and Nationalism: Remarks on the Current State of Research
Authors: Curta Florin
Published: April 2022

While in the modern world, ethnicity has become the politicization of culture, the old controversy over the relation between ethnicity and archaeology refuses to die. The first studies of that relation dealt primarily with what made the historical interpretation of the archaeological material dependent upon the political situation. Soon, the emphasis shifted to the link between archaeology and the beginnings of nationalism, especially the influence of Romanticism, the rise of the culture-history paradigm, and of the historical interest in ethnogenesis. Now, the emphasis is more on the role of archaeology in the shaping of social memory as past that may be used politically. This study focuses on the new trends in this research field, particularly those concerned with the social mobilization by means of the ancestors’ myths, with pseudo-archaeology, and the staging of historical authenticity through heritage tourism. The second part of the article highlights differences between approaches to ethnogenesis in the European and American archaeology and illustrates the latter by means of three key studies by Christopher Stojanowski, Scott Ortman, and Laurie Wilkie. To judge from the titles of the publications that came out in Eastern Europe and the United States over the last year, several common trends are apparent, along with significant divergences. Archaeology is increasingly perceived as the most important, if not the only way to understand the ethnicity of immigrants in the (medieval) past. Archaeologists have taken a front seat in all debates about ethnic identities. Instead of state authorities or the ideological pressure of various political regimes, the emphasis in Eastern Europe is now on individual archaeologists, the role of their life experience and of their education in the ethnic interpretation of the archaeological record. Meanwhile, in the Unites States, it is the ethnic identity of the archaeologists themselves that has now come under lens. In other words, agency is restored to archaeologists, who are now regarded as much more capable of original work and decision making than before. Finally, gender perspectives are now applied to the study of the relations between ethnicity, archaeology, and nationalism. In both Eastern Europe and the United States, there is a conspicuous interest in women archaeologists.

Published: April 2022

Pandanus odorifer (sea pandanus) is a plant that is commonly found in Bengkulu coastal areas, and research on this plant has not been done much. The results of previous studies show that sea pandanus with Pandanus tectoricus species contains primary and secondary metabolite compounds, especially in fruit that can be used as antioxidants, anti-bacteria, and others. This study aims to utilize unused P.odorifer fruit as a supplement to increase the appetite for Broiler chicken. Test animals used in the research are 7-day-old Broiler chickens. The P.odorifer samples used as supplements were obtained on the Sungai Suci Bengkulu Tengah Coast. Chickens were given four treatments, P0 control (1mL aquades/day), P1 supplement dose (0.5g/10mL), P2 dosing supplements (1g/10mL), and P3 dose supplement (1.5g/10mL). In general, the study results showed that P.odorifer fruit has the potential to be used as a supplement to increase the appetite of Broiler chicken, with a fat content of 3.92%, carbohydrate of 58.08%, and protein of 2.13%. The study results showed a significant effect of supplementation P.odorifer on Broiler chicken appetite, which was characterized by increasing body weight and eating portions. T-test results of the body weight and portion of the control group and the treatment group, the value of sig (2-tailed) ρ: 0.021 and sig (2-tailed) ρ: 0.016 and with value (α): 0.05, value ρ <α. And based on the results of the Completely Randomized Design analysis, the increase in the effect of P.odorifer supplements on Broiler chicken appetite is maximum at a concentration of 1.5gr/10mL weighing the 20 days of treatment with an F value <0.05.

Authors: Adane Mekonnen , Zewdu Shewangizaw
Published: April 2022

Background: WHO and UNICEF recommend breastfeeding to be initiated within an hour of birth. However, timely initiation of breastfeeding remains low in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the timely initiation of breastfeeding and associated factors with cesarean and vaginal deliveries in public hospitals in Addis Ababa, 2021. Methods and materials: Comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2021 to February 2021 in public hospitals of Addis Ababa. 322 mothers within three days of delivery at the postnatal ward of the respective public hospitals were selected. A multi-stage sampling method was employed with the final participants being recruited by systematic random sampling. Data was entered to Epi data Version 4.6 and analysis was performed by SPSS Version 26. A Binary and multivariate logistic regression statistical model was used. Adjusted odds ratio with 95% CI was computed to see the strength of association. Result: Timely breastfeeding initiation was 79 (51.2%) and 123 (80%) for cesarean and vaginal deliveries. With a vaginal delivery, pre-lacteal feeding (AOR = 5.50, 95% CI: 1.83 - 16.57) was significantly associated with timely initiation of breastfeeding. Multiparity (AOR = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.02 - 4.50), support from health care workers (AOR = 2.602, 95% CI: 1.16 - 5.82), and pre-lacteal feeding (AOR = 2.55, 95% CI: 1.13 - 5.75) were significantly associated with timely initiation of breastfeeding with cesarean delivery. Conclusion: The rate of timely initiation of breastfeeding differs according to the mode of delivery. Cesarean delivery, as compared to vaginal delivery, was associated with a lower rate of timely initiation of breastfeeding.

Published: April 2022

We investigated the associations between circulatory dynamics and Body Composition (BC) of the peripheral lower limbs with Exercise Habits (EHs). We surveyed the EHs of 34 healthy older adults (6 men, 28 women) and measured their BC and skin perfusion (SP). SP did not correlate significantly with any other variable. Participants with established EHs had a lower body weight and Fat Tissue thickness (Fat-T) than those without. Multiple logistic regressions with the presence or absence of an EH as the dependent variable and BC values as the independent variables established Fat-T as a significant variable. Sex was independently associated with soleus muscle thickness, Fat-T, Bone Density (BD), and leg segmental water. Age was independently associated with Fat-T and BD, and body mass index was associated with Fat-T. EHs were not independently associated with any of the BC measurements. Physical characteristics and EHs have minimal influence on peripheral circulatory dynamics.

Endotheliosis, thrombotic microangiopathy and complement system over activation have been described as pathologic features of tissue damage in the setting of coronavirus disease. Interestingly, complement-mediated cell injury is also a typical feature of atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome. Indeed, a growing body of literature has described a higher risk of microangiopathy recurrence, in aHUS patients who test positive for SARS-CoV-2. The correct clinical and therapeutic management patients with a history of HUS and SARS-CoV-2 infection is not well established. We report a case of SARS-CoV-2 infection in an aHUS patient who did not develop a recurrence of the disease and that was successfully treated with convalescent immune plasma therapy.

Published: April 2022

Online motorcycle taxi drivers are at risk of experiencing exposure to air pollution, and smoking habits can exacerbate the risk of decreased lung function. The success of smoking cessation could be influenced by the experience of cessation and socioeconomic status. In this regard, the study aimed to investigate the success of smoking cessation of online motorcycle taxi drivers in Surabaya, Indonesia, using a cross-sectional design from May–December 2020. A questionnaire was used to collect data through interviews, and the data were analyzed using a chi-square test. The number of respondents was 92. Among the respondents, 43.5% failed to quit smoking, while 56.5% of them succeeded. The chi-square test results demonstrated a relationship between all experience factors and the success of smoking cessation. Additionally, a relationship between education level (p<0.001) and income level (p<0.001) with socioeconomic status was observed. Further research is needed to observe how other factors such as knowledge, motivation, and environmental factors affect smoking cessation.

Published: April 2022

Purpose: This study aims to identify the relationship between oncology patients’ care dependency and anxiety levels.
Methods: The research data were collected by using the individual Identification Form, the Care Dependency Scale, and the Beck Anxiety Inventory via the interviews held with 142 cancer patients hospitalized at the oncology clinic. The independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and the Pearson correlation test were used in the analysis of research data.
Results: In the study, it was discerned that the mean of cancer patients’ Care Dependency Scale scores was 37.83±21.42 points and the patients who had the disease for a longer duration had higher levels of care dependency. Besides, it was found that the mean of cancer patients’ Beck Anxiety Inventory scores was 24.27±11.52 points and the patients had medium-level anxiety. Moreover, it was identified that there was a statistically significant association between the participant cancer patients’ care dependency and anxiety levels.
Conclusion: The increase in cancer patients’ care dependency levels is associated with the rise in their anxiety levels. Therefore, finding out about the patients’ care dependency levels by identifying the care needs of the patients to whom the nurses are responsible for offering care plays a significant role in enhancing the quality of nursing care.

Authors: DENİZOĞLU KÜLLİ Hilal
Published: April 2022

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of a single session of static and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching and motor imagery (MI) techniques on hamstring flexibility.
Methods: Sixty-one volunteers were included in the study. Individuals were randomly assigned as static stretching (SS), PNF and MI groups. Fifteen SS and PNF stretching exercises were applied to the SS and PNF groups for both legs, respectively. MI group was asked to imagine a standard hamstring stretching exercise program with the commands of the physiotherapist, without any movement. Before and after the stretching session, hamstring flexibility was evaluated with the right and left leg active straight leg raise test (ASLR) and sit-reach test (SRT).
Results: The statistically significant differences were found in the pre-and post-session right and left ASLR and SRT scores of SS, PNF and MI groups (pSS=0.004, pPNF=0.002, pMI=0.004; pSS<0.001, pPNF<0.001, pMI<0.001; pSS=0.009, pPNF=0.002, pMI=0.003; respectively). In addition, no statistically significant difference was found between the SS, PNF and MI groups in terms of right, left ASLR and SRT scores (F(2;49)=0.396, p=0.675, F(2;49)=0.906, p=0.411, F(2;47)=0.271, p=0.764; respectively).
Conclusion: The study presented that a single session application of SS, PNF, and MI have shown positive effects on hamstring flexibility and none of them were not superior to each other. Considering clinical implications of current results, MI may be recommended such as SS and PNF when SS and PNF stretching cannot be performed or as a home exercise program. Further studies that compare the long-term effects of these techniques are needed in the literature.

Authors: ÇAKIR ÖZMEN Gül , ŞİMŞEK Perihan , AYDIN Ruveyde , ÇİLİNGİR Dilek
Published: April 2022

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate nursing students' willingness to work voluntarily during the COVID-19 pandemic and related factors.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 3rd and 4th year nursing students from March to May 2021. The Competency Inventory of Nursing Students assessment scale and data collection form prepared by researchers were used as data collection tools. Multivariable and univariable binary logistic regression analysis was employed to identify the factors affecting nursing students’ willingness to voluntarily work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Results: This study was conducted with 240 nursing students (response rate=69.2%). In this study, 47.9% of the students stated that they were volunteer to work in the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings showed that as the "Nursing Students' Competency Scale" score increased, the probability of volunteering to work during the pandemic period increased [OR = 1,005; 95% CI, 1,001-1,01] (p = .033). Nursing students who used official sources to learn about COVID-19 disease, compared to others [OR = 3,241; 95% CI, 1,494 - 7,028], were more likely to be willing to work during the pandemic (p = .003). The level of knowledge was not a significant predictor of students' willingness to work during the pandemic period (p=.326).
Conclusions: The findings obtained in this study reflect the significance of directing students to obtain information from the right sources and developing their perceptions of competence in nursing education to create support for the healthcare system by volunteering nursing students during the pandemic period.

Published: April 2022

Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the factors affecting the incidence of falls, fear of falling, pain, and functional status in patients after TKA.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at a university hospital located in the west of Turkey and included 177 patients who had unilateral or bilateral TKA at least one 1 year ago. Data were collected using a Patient Description Form, the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I), and the Oxford Knee Score (OKS).
Results: The mean age of the patients was 67.81 ± 7.71 years, and it was found that approximately one-fifth of them had fallen preoperatively and approximately one-fourth had fallen postoperatively. The mean score for fear of falling (FES-I) was 28.59 ± 7.85 and the mean functional status score (OKS) was 35.73 ± 7.44. Fear of falling was found to decrease significantly as the postoperative time increased.
Conclusions It was found that falls continued postoperatively in patients who underwent TKA. It was thought that falls adversely affected the functional status of the patients and that physical therapy could be effective in preventing falls. Providing physical therapy support and comprehensive discharge training for all patients, particularly for patients at risk, may be effective in preventing possible falls. In addition, it is recommended to follow up patients postoperatively, evaluate home conditions in terms of fall risks, and establish evidence-based standards for prevention of falls.
Effectiveness of Physical Activity Counseling in University Students Educated by Distance Learning During COVID-19 Pandemic: A Randomized-Controlled Trial.
Authors: BARĞI Gülşah
Published: April 2022

Purpose: Students educated by distance learning experienced more physical inactivity and poorer quality of life (QOL) due to COVID-19 pandemic. Current study aimed to reveal the impacts of 4-week physical activity counseling (PAC) on step counts, physical activity (PA), anxiety, depression, and QOL in university students.
Methods: Students (19.97±1.14 years) were randomly grouped as PAC (n=15, progressive increases in step counts) or control (n=16, maintaining routine activities). Step count, PA, anxiety, depression, and QOL were evaluated remotely. The students were followed up between December 2020 and March 2021.
Results: Out of all students (4147.32±2916.54 steps/day), 29% were inactive; 67.7% had anxiety; 61.3% were depressed before PAC. After PAC, step count (mean difference (MD): 3999.69 steps/day, Cohen’s d=1.8), total walking (MD: 734.15 MET-min/week, Cohen’s d=0.4) and total PA (MD: 924.22 MET-min/week, Cohen’s d=0.4) scores, and role limitations due to emotional problems, vitality, and emotional well-being subscales scores of QOL significantly increased in PAC group compared with controls; anxiety scores decreased vice versa (p<0.05). Changes in depression, total vigorous and moderate PA scores, and other QOL subscales scores were similar between groups (p>0.05).
Conclusion: While PAC, a feasible, effective, and safe method during COVID-19 pandemic, improved anxiety, step count, PA level and QOL in students, PAC did not affect depression and some domains of QOL. Therefore, PAC should be offered to students and explored in other segments of society to prevent long-term effects of COVID-19.

Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT

Background and Purpose: To determine the factors associated with the latent period in patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).

Methods: 53 patients who applied to our clinic within 1 year and were diagnosed with PPROM and met the inclusion criteria participated in this prospective cross-sectional study. Factors thought to affect the latent period in these patients were examined in terms of delivery time and mode.

Results: Latent period; was negatively correlated with dilatation and positively correlated with collum length. The mean latent time of patients with contraction was statistically significantly lower than those without.

In another model, gestational week, collum length and birth weight were found to be the most significant factors associated with the latent period.

In the latent period groups; Statistically, a significant difference was found in the mean dilatation and collum length.

The contraction rate was higher in those with a latency period of 2 days or less.

Conclusion: Latent duration is inversely proportional to dilatation and directly proportional to collum length. Uterine contraction is higher in patients with a latency period of fewer than 2 days. Other statistically significant factors related to the latent period are the gestational week and the fetal weight.

The majority of the students (96.3%) stayed with their families during the pandemic, and one fifth lived in villages. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, most university students reported depression (79.7%), anxiety (61.4%), and stress (68.6%). Gender, income, chronic disease, presence of an at-risk individual (persons with a chronic disease, a health worker etc.), lack of hope for the future, and feeling unwell after sleep were found to be those factors affecting the students’ depression, anxiety, and stress levels. A positive correlation was found between both stress and employment anxiety, and between future anxiety and depression, anxiety, and stress.
Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic has a significant psychosocial effect on university students.

Abstract

Objetives:
Healthcare professionals and doctors are in the risk group for anxiety because they are in close contact with COVID-19 patients during both prevention and treatment. The aim of this study is to assess the anxiety levels of healthcare professionals during the pandemic and determine their need for psychiatric or psychological care.

Methods:
The Beck Anxiety Inventory was used to determine the anxiety levels of the study participants. The data were analyzed using the program SPSS 20. In addition to statistical descriptors (mean, standard deviation), statistical analysis was performed using independent samples t-tests.

Results:
Eighty-four healthcare professionals participated voluntarily and filled out the Beck Anxiety Inventory questionnaire. Forty-five were female and 39 were male. Of the nurses, 80% were female; only 14.7% of doctors were female. Fifty were nurses and 34 were doctors. When we assessed the Beck Anxiety Inventory results, there were no statistically significant differences between men and women (p>0.05). However, anxiety was significantly higher in nurses than doctors (p<0.05).
Conclusion:
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused more anxiety in nurses than doctors and all healthcare professionals are adversely affected.
Sustancias adictivas, hackers del cerebro. Un estudio didáctico en Ciencias Naturales

Este estudio aborda la problemática, dentro del campo didáctico de la enseñanza de la Biología Humana, de la construcción de conceptos sobre el funcionamiento cerebral en interacción con sustancias adictivas, en el marco de la educación secundaria. El desarrollo del mismo se enfocó en: 1) rescatar las concepciones de los estudiantes acerca de la estructura-función del sistema nervioso en general; 2) relevar la relación que establecen entre algunas sustancias psicoactivas (alcohol, marihuana y tabaco), el funcionamiento cerebral y el impacto sobre otras funciones orgánicas; 3) relevar la potencialidad de la formación de conductas de protección de la salud.El abordaje metodológico incluyó la resolución de un estudio diagnóstico-intervencionista, en cuatro establecimientos educativos, en aulas de segundo año de educación secundaria, en Mendoza, Argentina. En éste se implementaron estudios de pre y post-test mediante un instrumento validado. Se desarrolló en toda la muestra poblacional un taller de intervención didáctico-disciplinar, donde se trabajó con diversos recursos iconográficos, analógicos y multi-mediales que potenciaran puentes cognitivos significativos, para favorecer la comprensión y el análisis. Los resultados de los test aplicados se sistematizaron y analizaron cuali-cuantativamente. Los resultados obtenidos brindan algunos perfiles didácticos-disciplinar para el tratamiento de dificultades específicas en torno a procesos asociativos y holísticos, que fundamenten acciones de protección de la salud y potencien la formación de capacidades y competencias como lo reclaman los diseños curriculares vigentes.
Las Metáforas Conceptuales como Herramientas Didácticas
Authors: Karska Katarzyna
Published: April 2022

El objetivo del artículo es mostrar diferentes aplicaciones de las metáforas conceptuales (MC) en el contexto de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de idiomas. Las metáforas demuestran ser herramientas útiles para mejorar y facilitar el proceso didáctico. El documento presenta el concepto de CM y sus dominios y asignaciones en las áreas de aula de segundo idioma que es como una herramienta para una mejor comprensión y producción de un idioma extranjero. La aplicación de CM demuestra ser especialmente efectiva en los procesos de enseñanza involucrados en el desarrollo de habilidades perceptivas de lectura y escucha. Su potencial es visible no solo para aumentar la conciencia intercultural de los estudiantes sino también para enseñar habilidades integradas. Además, las metáforas tienen un impacto positivo en el lenguaje de la argumentación, enunciando, defendiendo y haciendo hipótesis. El documento se centra en expresiones idiomáticas, verbos (frasales), expresiones polisémicas y vocabulario, como las áreas donde CM puede mejorar la producción y recepción de nuevos elementos léxicos en particular.
Análisis y solución de errores socioculturales a través de mundos virtuales
Authors: Martínez Cabrera Claudia
Published: April 2022

Considerando la evolución de las nuevas tecnologías aplicadas a la enseñanza y la creciente demanda del aprendizaje de español en distintos lugares del mundo, el incremento de la importancia de la educación a distancia es inminente. Sin embargo, la toma de conciencia de los aspectos socioculturales de un país se produce en gran medida al encontrarse físicamente en el mismo. Por estos motivos, en este trabajo describimos una investigación sobre cómo el uso de recursos atractivos, motivadores y adaptados a las nuevas generaciones de aprendices, como son los mundos virtuales, pueden influir positivamente en el desarrollo de los elementos socioculturales en situaciones cotidianas sin necesidad de estar en el propio país hispanohablante. Para ello, se ha propuesto al alumno la interacción en diferentes eventos comunicativos tanto a través de role-play en el aula como de la inmersión lingüística como metodología para poner en práctica sus conocimientos de la lengua en un entorno virtual tridimensional que se asemeja a la vida real. Estas conversaciones han sido analizadas posteriormente a través de categorías, tanto pragmáticas, como propuestas por el Plan curricular del Instituto Cervantes (2006).
Profundizando en el modelo de Horwitz, Horwitz y Cope sobre ansiedad en el aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera
Authors: Ortega Martínez Cristina
Published: April 2022

Los estudiantes de educación secundaria están sometidos a mucha presión en el proceso de aprendizaje, lo cual, sumado a sus propios cambios emocionales, facilita la aparición de la ansiedad. Esto es especialmente evidente en el aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera, ya que una de las variables que más afectan a la adquisición de conocimientos es la ansiedad experimentada en este contexto, que es única y específica de esta situación. Pioneros en este campo, Horwitz et al. (1986) conceptualizaron este constructo por primera vez y diseñaron un instrumento para medirlo en el aula: la escala FLCAS. Tanto el modelo de Horwitz, Horwitz y Cope como la escala FLCAS son de los más prestigiosos en la investigación de la ansiedad, razón por la cual muchos autores han realizado investigaciones apoyadas en sus premisas que han validado (o no) el planteamiento. Este artículo presenta una revisión de la literatura escrita sobre el modelo y algunas de las investigaciones más relevantes, que han permitido evaluar su fiabilidad y presentar los retos más evidentes como puertas abiertas para posibles mejoras.

The article describes the method proposed by the authors for forming radar portraits (signatures) of objects of complex spatial configuration with a conductive surface based on digital spatial (three-dimensional) models of their description in approximation of geometric optics methods. The developed model-oriented technique is intended for calculation of multiple radar portraits of quasi-stationary objects, which include various types of ground, aviation and marine equipment, against the background of underlying surface in relation to the specified parameters and conditions of radar observation of the earth 's surface. A distinctive feature in the implementation of this technique is the possibility of prompt obtaining of radar portraits (signatures) of metal objects of complex shape with the degree of adequacy and in volumes providing automation of processing of natural radar images on the basis of artificial intelligence technologies, including with support of specialized banks of reference radar data formed on their basis.

The purpose of this study was to obtain the best ratio of oyster mushrooms in addition to the quality of mackerel fish nugget. The research method used a completely randomized design CRD experiment consisting of four treatments and four replications. The treatments consisted of KJ1 (ratio of mackerel fish and oyster mushrooms 70:30), KJ2 (ratio of mackerel fish and oyster mushrooms 60:40), KJ3 (ratio of mackerel fish and oyster mushrooms 50:50), and KJ4 (ratio of mackerel fish and oyster mushrooms 40:60). The data obtained were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance and continued with Duncan's multiple range test (DMRT) at the 5% level. The results showed that the ratio of mackerel fish and oyster mushrooms significantly affected moisture, ash, protein, and crude fiber content, as well as descriptive sensory assessments such as color before and after frying, aroma before and after frying, texture before frying, elasticity, taste and overall hedonic assessment. The best treatment was KJ3 (ratio of mackerel fish and oyster mushrooms 50:50) which of 56.45% moisture 1.11% ash, 15.40% protein, and 2.98% crude fiber content. The overall sensory assessment of the nugget was slightly white color before frying, yellowness after frying, a little oyster mushroom flavoring before and after frying, a little soft texture, chewy, and slightly oyster mushroom taste.
