Published: May 2021

This article reveals the role of educational and project activities in developing students’ research competencies in modern educational process at university. Students’ productive development is possible only with their comprehensive training for these types of activities. Insufficient theoretical, methodological, and practical development of this problem in Kazakhstani science determined the relevance of this article’s topic. The analysis of the study of theoretical sources and practical experience allows us to conclude that students are insufficiently prepared for educational and project activities in developing research competencies. Most students do not comprehend the importance of developing research competencies in educational and project activities, having a relatively general understanding of them. Therefore they practically lack the relevant skills and abilities. The direction of further research is developing a methodology for the development of students’ research competencies in project and research activities within pedagogical and musical disciplines in the university educational process.

National sports in physical education lessons are characterized by average sports indicators and mass character. National games of this level are held during lessons in physical education or in extracurricular time. Features - during systematic studies, leisure time organization with a slope of a healthy lifestyle, hardening of health, and rational use of outdoor activities significantly increase the healing effect. Comparing other methods used for these purposes, they set high requirements for hardening the body and therefore the high goals set justify themselves. Classes held in a strictly regulated mode according to the well-known system are mainly conducted under the guidance of coaches for various types of national games, in some cases, volunteer trainers. The sports training of the younger generation and its structural regime are streamlined with the capabilities of the sports base, sports equipment, equipment and other circumstances. Kazakh national games and sports, as well as classic sports and games, have a regular need for competitive activity, their special training, level requirements and achievements.

The assessment of progress in learning to read, carried out among first-graders of 11 Russian-teaching schools in Almaty, was in-depth and included a comprehensive system for assessing child development. This system connects different results obtained in different evaluative sections: educational, metasubject, individual and personal. Two cognitive assessment tools were administered to diagnose children: a vocabulary test and a multi-task reading test. The test for the diagnosis of early reading skills consists of four blocks corresponding to the four stages of development of reading skills in children. The analysis of the scale within the framework of modern testing theory allows for a deep analysis of the characteristics of the functioning of individual tasks and the test as a whole, as well as obtaining measurement results on an interval scale. The most important results of the initial analysis of the assessment results were the absence of differences in reading skills between girls and boys who came to school, and the advantage of boys on the vocabulary scale. The analysis carried out will make it possible to clarify the content of further stages of the study in order to explain the results obtained and interpret them meaningfully.

The article is devoted to the study of the role of illustration in a children's book, where the latter is considered as a visual way for a child to learn the content of the text. The author, considering the development of illustration in historical retrospect, tries to highlight its features and specifics, which changed from era to era, covering more and more new styles, new directions, new artists. At the same time, the author, based on the analysis of scientific literature, comes to the conclusion that the illustration for children is as important as the text of the book itself, and for younger children it is even more important than the text. Illustration in a children's book, whether educational or artistic, is always a kind of visual path of knowledge, which is undoubtedly included in the system of cultural universals. And here, the task of the illustrator is to dynamically expand the knowledge of children and adolescents obtained through the book. It is clear that the introduction of modern children to reading, which in the digital era - the era of the craze for gadgets is becoming especially relevant, where an important role is played by illustration, its quality and skill of execution, the power of attraction. The author is sure that the illustration not only interprets the text, but also enriches it in its visual images, and here the artist shows his attitude to the text, develops or complements the thoughts of the writer or poet, enriching the text with visual images.

The culture and art of the Turkic-Mongolian world is one of the deepest subjects of the humanities, which again and again take the attention of researchers. The historical vicissitudes, which was formed over many centuries, contributed to spread Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam in the Great Steppe. We can see it in unique art artifacts and architectural structures. This article is devoted to unity and diversity study of the Turkic-Mongolian world, based on the example of the Kultobe settlement, which is presented by the authors as the oldest peculiar crossroads of religions and cultures. The Kultobe settlement, during scientific years and archaeological research by the Kazakh Research Institute of Culture, truly unique material evidence (architectural objects and artifacts) was discovered, which allows us to speak of this unique monument of archeology as one of the “crossroads” of religions and cultures in the Turkic-Mongolian world. The Kultobe settlement and later Yasi, a spiritual and religious place, developed -Turkic Sufism. The famous Sufi and poet K.A.Yasawi lived and preached here. The work was prepared under the state assignment of the Altai State University, project №748715Ф.99.1.ББ97АА00002 “The Turkic-Mongolian world of the “Greater Altai”: unity and diversity in history and modernity.”
Single-particle Raman spectroscopy for studying physical and chemical processes of atmospheric particles
Authors: Liang Zhancong , Chu Yangxi , Gen Masao , Chan Chak K.
Published: May 2021

Abstract. Atmospheric particles experience various physical and chemical processes and change their properties during their lifetime. Most studies on atmospheric particles, both in laboratory and field measurements, rely on analyzing an ensemble of particles. Because of different mixing state of individual particles, only average properties can be obtained from studies using ensembles of particles. To better understand the fate and environmental impacts of atmospheric particles, investigations on their properties and processes at a single-particle level are valuable. Among a wealth of analytic techniques, single-particle Raman spectroscopy provides an unambiguous characterization of individual particles under atmospheric pressure in a non-destructive and in-situ manner. This paper comprehensively reviews the application of such a technique in the studies of atmospheric particles, including particle hygroscopicity, phase transition and separation, and solute-water interactions, particle pH, and multiphase reactions. Investigations on enhanced Raman spectroscopy and bioaerosols on a single-particle basis are also reviewed. For each application, we describe the principle and representative examples of studies. Finally, we present our views on future directions on both technique development and further applications of single-particle Raman spectroscopy in studying atmospheric particles.
The first global 883 GHz cloud ice survey: IceCube Level 1 data calibration, processing and analysis
Authors: Gong Jie , Wu Dong L. , Eriksson Patrick
Published: May 2021

Abstract. Sub-millimeter (sub-mm, 200–1000 GHz) wavelengths contribute a unique capability to fill-in the sensitivity gap between operational visible/infrared (VIS/IR) and microwave (MW) remote sensing for atmosphere cloud ice and snow. Being able of penetrating cloud to measure cloud ice mass and microphysical properties in the middle to upper troposphere, this is a critical spectrum range for us to understand the connection between cloud ice and precipitation processes. As the first space-borne 883 GHz radiometer, IceCube mission was NASA's latest effort in spaceflight demonstration of a commercial sub-mm radiometer technology. Successfully launched from the International Space Station, IceCube is essentially a free-running radiometer and collected valuable 15-month measurements of atmosphere and cloud ice. This paper describes the detailed procedures for Level 1 data calibration, processing and validation. The scientific quality and values of IceCube data are then discussed, including radiative transfer model validation and evaluation, as well as the unique spatial distribution and diurnal cycle of cloud ice that are revealed for the first time on a quasi-global scale at this frequency.

Abstract. Net accumulation records derived from ice cores provide the most direct measurement of past precipitation. However, quantitative reconstruction of accumulation for past millennia remains challenging due to the difficulty in identifying annual layers in the deeper sections of ice cores. In this study, we propose a new method to quantify annual accumulation from ice cores for past millennia, using as an example an ice core drilled at the Chongce ice cap in the northwestern Tibetan Plateau (TP). First, we used the Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) technology to develop an ultra-high-resolution trace element records in three sections of the ice core and identified annual layers in each section based on seasonality of these elements. Second, based on nine 14C ages determined for this ice core, we developed a two-parameter flow model to established the thinning parameter of this ice core. Finally, we converted the thickness of annual layers in the three sample sections to past accumulation rates based on the thinning parameter derived from the ice-flow model. Our results show that the mean annual accumulation rate for the three sample sections are 102 mm/year (2511–2541 a B.P.), 76 mm/year (1682–1697 a B.P.) and 84 mm/year (781–789 a B.P.). For comparison, the Holocene mean precipitation is 103 mm/year. This method has the potential to reconstruct continuous high-resolution precipitation records covering millennia or even longer time periods.
Los orígenes de la enseñanza formal del árabe marroquí en España a finales del siglo XVIII: un instrumento para las cuestiones diplomáticas con Marruecos
Authors: Salgado Suárez Rosa
Published: May 2021

El presente artículo alude a un acontecimiento histórico, como fue la firma del Tratado de Amistad y Comercio de 1767 entre España y Marruecos, para contextualizar los orígenes de la historia de la enseñanza formal del árabe marroquí en España. En efecto, la firma de este tratado puso de manifiesto la necesidad de formar una plantilla de traductores e intérpretes de confianza para mediar con el vecino Marruecos en las tareas de diplomacia. La improvisada plantilla estuvo formada por arabistas españoles que aprendieron el árabe marroquí en el mismo Marruecos gracias al impulso de dos importantes medidas: el plan de pensiones de 1798 y la creación de una escuela de árabe en Tánger en 1800. Se formaba así la primera generación de arabistas expertos en el árabe marroquí que, además de traductores-intérpretes del Estado, se convirtieron en los autores de los primeros materiales para su enseñanza.
Umbrales y prototipos: introducción al debate en torno a los estándares de prueba
Authors: Páez Andrés
Published: May 2021

Existen diversas perspectivas acerca de cómo se deben entender los estándares de prueba en el derecho. En el trabajo central de este número, Rodrigo Coloma sugiere que estos pueden ser entendidos como umbrales o como prototipos. Además, Coloma hace una taxonomía de los diferentes usos de los estándares de prueba que trasciende su simple función como distribuidores de errores. En sus réplicas al artículo, Raymundo Gama y Claudio Agüero hacen valiosas precisiones y serias críticas a esta forma de entender los estándares de prueba. Algunas de estas críticas dan en el blanco mientras que otras van dirigidas más a los presupuestos teóricos que a las tesis mismas de Coloma. En este artículo ofrezco un contexto más amplio para evaluar sus desacuerdos.
Justizberichterstattung und das Verständnis der Öffentlichkeit für die Institutionen und Prinzipien des Rechtsstaats
Authors: Schoch Zeller Claudia
Published: May 2021

Gerichtsreporter verstehen ihre Aufgabe mitunter nicht allein in der Berichterstattung, sie wollen bisweilen eigene Recherchen anstellen. Manche versuchen gar, der Wahrheitsfindung des Gerichts vorzugreifen, denn Gerichtsberichte müssen heute, wie andere Texte auch, Aufmerksamkeit erwecken. Begibt sich der Gerichtsberichterstatter auf juristisches Glatteis, sollte er seine Grenzen kennen. Wenn Journalisten ohne genügendes Wissen sich anmassen, der Leserschaft zu sagen, wie das Gericht zu entscheiden hat, ist das schlechter Journalismus. Die exakte Analyse wird im heutigen Journalismus allerdings zunehmend verdrängt. Aber für Demokratie und Rechtsstaat ist eine kompetente Gerichtsberichterstattung essenziell. Die juristischen Überlegungen eines Gerichts dem breiten Publikum attraktiv darstellen kann jedoch nur ein Journalist mit guten Rechtskenntnissen. Man mag die Meinung des Gerichts teilen oder nicht. Zunächst sind in jedem Fall dessen Beweggründe, die rechtlichen Grundlagen und deren Auslegung darzutun. Danach ist es dem Berichterstatter unbenommen, Kritik am Gericht zu üben.

Psalm 34 contains a call to promote peace in a context where peace is threatened by damaging speech. This paper seeks to define the social setting that could explain such a call. Its thesis is that the psalm is addressed to Jews who are beleaguered by others speaking deceit. It is an attempt to convince them not to be seduced by Hellenistic culture and not to be misled by deceitful discourses of those who discard their traditions in favour of Hellenistic beliefs and lifestyles.
Art, Aesthetics and the Dynamics of Visuality in Ezekiel 23
Authors: Quick Laura
Published: May 2021

This essay explores Ezekiel 23 as a text about art and aesthetics. As an aesthetic response to an artistic endeavour, it argues that the description of Oholibah’s act of viewing must be placed within the context of strategies for verbalizing visual phenomenon in biblical literature. And as a work of art, the carved Chaldean officers must be understood within larger ancient Near Eastern artistic conventions. The convergence of these distinct but related focuses allows us to reassess Oholibah’s act of viewing art and its role in Ezekiel 23.

Testicular Germ Cell Tumors: Serological and Immunohistochemical Diagnosis
Authors: Damjanov Ivan
Published: May 2021

This review deals with serologic and immunohistochemical tumor markers used in clinical laboratories for the diagnosis of testicular germ cell tumors. Time tested serologic markers such as alpha-fetoprotein, human chorionic gonadotropin, and lactate dehydrogenase are routinely used in the work-up of patients with testicular tumors. Professional organizations regulating the practice of medicine in most countries worldwide require that the laboratory values for these serologic reactants be included in the pathology reports on testicular tumors as part of the tumor staging process. Immunohistochemical markers of testicular germ have been identified and widely tested during the first two decades of the XXI century. We have selected the most useful immunohistochemical markers from a few of these markers and discussed them in this review.

Conclusion. Published data show that testicular tumor markers are widely used in routine practice. The study of tumor markers has improved the pathologic and clinical diagnosis of testicular germ cell tumors and has thus contributed to their treatment.
New Insights into the Diagnosis, Molecular Taxonomy, and Treatment of Bladder Cancer

Published: May 2021

This review aims to emphasize new insights into the diagnosis, classification, and therapy of bladder cancer (BC). Bladder cancer is a heterogeneous, complex disease on a morphological, molecular, diagnostic, and prognostic level. Cancer stage is still the most important attribute for prognosis and treatment, while early detection with optimal and rapid individual therapeutic and surveillance approach is crucial. The vast majority of patients have a superficial, non-muscle-invasive tumor associated with a good prognosis after resection and adjuvant intravesical maintenance immuno or chemotherapy if needed. On the other hand, muscle-invasive bladder cancer is a highly aggressive disease with high morbidity and mortality. However, it has become a model for oncology success over the last five years with many available targeted therapeutic modalities. Metastatic BC is now amenable to multimodal treatment combining cystectomy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy and immunotherapy and is a target for precision medicine.

Conclusion. A new molecular taxonomy for bladder cancer has been proposed and provided insight into BC’s carcinogenesis, with some possible effects on therapy decisions. However, this classification is still not applicable in routine clinical practice. It opens new questions regarding the interplay between tumor genetic signature, intratumoral heterogeneity, therapy implications, and tumor progression.
An Update on Molecular Genetic Aberrations in Spitz Melanocytic Proliferations: Correlation with Morphological Features and Biological Behavior
Authors: Šekoranja Daja , Pižem Jože , Luzar Boštjan
Published: May 2021

The aim of the paper is to give an update on molecular genetic aberrations in Spitz melanocytic proliferations with special em- phasis on their correlation with morphological features and biological behavior. The Spitz group of melanocytic proliferations is defined by a combination of distinctive morphological features and driver molecular genetic events. Morphologically, these neoplasms are characterized by large, oval, polygonal, or spindled melanocytes with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, vesicular nuclei with prominent nucleoli, often in association with epidermal hyperplasia. Molecular aberrations in Spitz melanocytic proliferations can be divided into two main groups, according to the driver genetic change: 1) 11p amplification/HRAS muta- tion, present in about 20% of cases, and 2) kinase fusions, present in about 50%, further subdivided into tyrosine kinase fusions (ALK, ROS1, NTRK1, NTRK3, MET, RET) or serine-threonine kinase fusions (MAP3K8, BRAF). Driver genetic aberrations can be detected along the whole biological spectrum of Spitz melanocytic proliferations, and are mutually exclusive. Although driver genetic aberrations enable proliferation of melanocytes, additional genetic events (often biallelic inactivation of CDKN2A and TERT promoter mutations) are necessary for the development of overt Spitz malignancy.

Conclusions. Recent studies have demonstrated that certain driver genetic aberrations are more often associated with the benign spectrum of Spitz melanocytic proliferations and indolent biological behavior (11p amplification/HRAS mutation, tyrosine kinase fusions). In contrast, some driver aberrations are more frequent in the atypical/malignant spectrum of Spitz melanocytic proliferations with a potential for aggressive biological behavior (serine-threonine kinase fusions). In addition, certain driver aberrations are often associated with distinctive morphological features. However, none of the morphological features is entirely specific for any of these driver genetic aberrations. Immunohistochemistry for ALK, ROS1, and pan-TRK can be used for screening purposes to detect cor- responding fusion proteins.
Legal and Permit Loads Evaluation for Indiana Bridges
Authors: Kusiak Chris , Bowman Mark D. , Prakash Arun

According to federal law, routine commercial vehicles must adhere to certain limits on their load configuration in order to operate legally on interstate highways. However, states may allow for heavier or different load configurations provided that bridges on the state and county highway system are load rated and, if necessary, posted with vehicles that appropriately represent these loads. The state of Indiana allows several classes of vehicles to operate with loads that exceed federal limits, and, presently, several LFD design loads are used to represent these exceptions as state legal loads. This study evaluates the MBE rating loads for their ability to encompass Indiana’s exception vehicles and recommends a set of state rating loads which can replace the current state legal loads and, combined with the MBE rating loads, satisfactorily encompass the load effects due to these exceptions. Comparing moment and shear envelopes on a representative set of bridges, the MBE rating vehicles were found to be insufficient for representing Indiana’s exception vehicles. Three new rating loads are proposed which encompass the exception vehicles efficiently and represent realistic legal loads. Conversely, acceptable HS-20 rating factors are also provided as an alternative to the adoption of these new vehicles. These rating factors, all 1.0 or greater, can ensure a similar level of safety by requiring a specific amount of excess capacity for the HS-20 design load.
An Enquiry Into Linear Conflict Models
Authors: Beckmann Klaus B. , Reimer Lennart
Published: May 2021

This monograph generalises, and extends, the classic dynamic models in conflict analysis (Lanchester 1916, Richardson 1919, Boulding 1962). Restrictions on parameters are relaxed to account for alliances and for peacekeeping. Incrementalist as well as stochastic versions of the model are reviewed. These extensions allow for a rich variety of patterns of dynamic conflict. Using Monte Carlo techniques as well as time series analyses based on GDELT data (for the Ethiopian-Eritreian war, 1998–2000), we also assess the empirical usefulness of the model. It turns out that linear dynamic models capture selected phases of the conflict quite well, offering a potential taxonomy for conflict dynamics. We also discuss a method for introducing a modicum of (bounded) rationality into models from this tradition.

Digital storytelling and micro-narratives — new forms of rep­re­sen­tation of personal experience and collective creativity
Authors:   Perm State Institute of Culture, Lisenkova A. A.
Published: May 2021

The article analyses the impact of digital technologies on storytelling. By creating new information streams of personalised stories with open storylines in the virtual media envi­ronment, the author shares the process of writing a story with other participants in the digital world. The interaction between the author and the audience is transformed under the influ­ence of the hypertext system of cross-references. Each participant in this creative process acts not only as a co-creator, but also as a co-author of many narratives. The narratives, which translate personalized evaluative and often pseudo-expert opinions into the public space, are becoming increasingly emotional to the detriment of the content. Constantly increasing the information flow and immersing its participants in the interactive world of emotional collec­tive meta-narratives composed of fragments of individual stories, the users build a single digi­tal content. By labelling their stories, they relate them to large thematic clusters of homogene­ous information, including their individual experiences in a single space of collective story­telling. Participating in the process of constant co-creation, users construct their own virtual world, filling it with micro-narrative stories of collective creativity, subsequently living inde­pendently in the digital space. The artificially created virtual information environment is constantly multiplying due to the reproduction of hypertextual stories by all participants of storytelling and, as a result, it begins to reproduce itself.
Unidades léxicas abreviadas del lenguaje médico actual utilizado en la prensa escrita
Authors: Kovrigina Anna
Published: May 2021

El objetivo del presente artículo es estudiar el potencial lingüístico y creativo de unidades léxicas creadas a base de palabras o sintagmas abreviados mediante el análisis del lenguaje de la prensa escrita. El estatus lingüístico de las abreviaciones no es fijo, van acomodando su configuración externa, pronunciación y propiedades morfosintácticas a las palabras naturales del idioma. Los rasgos que testimonian la adaptación de las abreviaciones son su lexicalización y acomodación gráfica y fónica, pérdida de motivación semántica, participación activa en los procesos derivativos. La variedad en el aspecto grafemático y morfológico (oscilaciones con respecto al género, formación del plural, dificultad para distinguir las categorías gramaticales de sustantivo y adjetivo, uso de guion, mayúsculas o minúsculas) tiene relación, por un lado, con el creciente y continuado uso de las unidades abreviadas en el lenguaje y con ausencia de normas de uso convencionales, por otro. La frecuencia y amplitud de uso de las abreviaciones por razones de comodidad y economía lingüística concurre con la búsqueda de efectos estilísticos, por lo que su presencia es amplia en los llamados géneros de opinión.
El discurso referido como recurso atenuador en la ciudad de Sevilla
Authors: Repede Doina
Published: May 2021

El objetivo de este estudio consiste en dar cuenta del discurso referido como mecanismo atenuador en la ciudad de Sevilla a partir de un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de 72 entrevistas semidirigidas, distribuidas proporcionalmente en dos sexos (hombres y mujeres), en tres grupos de edad (20‒34 años; 35‒54 años y 55 años o más) y tres niveles de instrucción (alta, media y baja). Tras analizar las 214 ocurrencias de discurso referido documentadas en el corpus manejado, los resultados muestran que este procedimiento citativo adquiere en el contexto un valor atenuante. Para ello, la estrategia a la que recurren los informantes es la desfocalización del centro deíctico mediante tres mecanismos ‒enajenación, impersonalización y despersonalización‒. Por factores sociales, las mujeres son las que más emplean la enajenación, esto es, un mecanismo atenuador que indica implicación por parte del hablante ante lo dicho. En cambio, los hombres mitigan sus discursos a través del discurso referido con valor impersonalizador y despersonalizador que les permite borrar o desdibujar las figuras y la fuente de la enunciación. Asimismo, los informantes jóvenes coinciden con los adultos en el empleo de este recurso con valor impersonalizador y con los más mayores en su uso con función de enajenación. Finalmente, el discurso referido impersonalizador es más frecuente en el sociolecto bajo, mientras la despersonalización y la enajenación se da más en los hablantes de instrucción media.
