Authors: Mulyadi Mulyadi
Published: September 2018

Penelitian ini menguji 7 faktor kesuksesan kritikal ERP yaitu perencanaan dan visi bisnis, manajemen perubahan, komunikasi, komposisi, keahlian, dan kompensasi tim proyek, dukungan manajemen, manajemen proyek, serta analisis sistem, pemilihan sistem, dan implementasi teknis. Faktor-faktor kesuksesan ini diujikan pengaruhnya terhadap prinsip-prinsip GUG yaitu transparansi, akuntabilitas, responsibilitas, independensi dan keadilan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode survey eksplanasi (explanatory survey) dengan teknik pengambilan sampel nonprobability sampling, yaitu teknik pengambilan sampel yang tidak memberi peluang/ kesempatan sama bagi setiap unsur atau anggota populasi untuk dipilih menjadi sampel. Lebih tepatnya menggunakan sampling jenuh yaitu yaitu teknik penentuan sampel bila semua anggota populasi digunakan sebagai sampel. Hasil penelitian menunjukan faktor kesuksesan kritikal ERP berpengaruh cukup signifikan terhadap prinsip-prinsip GUG. Pengaruh total dari masing-masing faktor ERP terhadap GUG yaitu manajemen perubahan berpengaruh sangat kecil, komunikasi berpengaruh sangat kecil, komposisi tim berpengaruh relatif kecil, manajemen proyek berpengaruh relatif kecil, dukungan top manajemen berpengaruh relatif kecil dan, analisis sistem, seleksi sistem dan teknis pelaksanaan berpengaruh relatif besar. Pengaruh sisanya berasal dari pengaruh luar yang tidak diteliti dalam penelitian ini.

Published: September 2018

The study objective is to analyze the results of combined (direct and indirect) brain revascularization in adult patients with moyamoya disease. 

Materials and methods. From February 2015 to August 2016, 12 operations were performed on 12 hemispheres in 7 patients (2 men, 5 women) with moyamoya disease. Six patients had bilateral disease, 1 – unilateral. The age of patients ranged from 25 to 60 year old, the average – 41 year old. Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) perfusion imaging of the brain with a stress test was made in every patient, MSCT angiography of the extraand intracranial arteries was perfomed. Stages of the disease were determined according to the Suzuki–Takaku classification: stage III was revealed in 5 patients, stage IV – in 2. To evaluate the clinical course of the disease the Matsushima classification was used: type VI – in 2 cases, type III – in 2, type IV – in 1, type V – in 1. In 1 case, the pathological vascular network of 1 hemisphere was detected by accident. Extracranial-intracranial (EC–IC) bypass and encephaloduromyosynangiosis (EDMS) was used in 3 cases; a double-barreled EC–IC bypass and EDMS – in 3; a double-barreled EC–IC bypass and encephaloduroperiosteomyosynangiosis – in 1; EC–IC bypass and encephaloduroarteriomyosynangiosis (EDAMS) – in 3. In 1 case was perfomed EC–IC bypass and encephaloduroperiosteosynangiosis. Only indirect revascularization was performed in 1 case – EDAMS. We assessed the neurological status in the follow-up period (5–11 months); MSCT angiography and MSCT perfusion imaging of the brain were performed. 

Results. All patients in follow-up period demonstrated the increase of cerebrovascular reserve according to MSCT perfusion imaging of the brain with stress tests. Stroke, epilepsy, surgical complications were not detected in the postoperative period. In 1 case, the left-hand monoparesis regressed.

Conclusion. The combined (direct and indirect) revascularization may be effective in adult patients with moyamoya disease. To obtain more objective conclusions it is necessary to analyze the long-term results of interventions.

Authors: Nikitin A. I. , Nazarov R. V. , Vasilyev D. A. , Ulitin A. Yu.
Published: September 2018

The study objective is to analyze the results of using adenosine-induced cardioplegia during cerebral aneurysms clipping.

Materials and methods. The study included 15 patients who underwent microsurgical aneurysm clipping during period from 2016 to 2017.

 Results. In all cases it was possible to completely isolate the aneurysm from the circulation. No complications associated with the administration of adenosine were observed. It was shown that adenosine-induced cardioplegia can be used when temporary clipping is impossible because of changing in the parent vessel. Also, the using of adenosine is useful for “simple” aneurysms, which leads to a softening of the sack without additional injuries.

Conclusion. The combination of adenosine-induced cardioplegia and temporary clipping allows to provide better control over possible intraoperative bleeding and more comfortable positioning of the permanent clip on the aneurysm neck.

Published: September 2018

The study objective is analyze the modern ideas about the influence of time factor on the treatment outcome of patients with spinal cord injury. 

Results. Experimental studies clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of early decompression. According to the results of meta-analyses, in patients who underwent early decompression of the cervical segment of spinal canal, the outcomes of treatment may be better compared with the treatment outcomes of patients who underwent delayed intervention. The benefit of early decompression of the thoracic and lumbar spinal cord is not statistically significant. The difference in the rate of intraand postoperative complications and lethality between early and late decompression groups is also statistically insignificant.

Conclusion. Early decompression of the spinal canal and spinal stabilization (≤24 h) should be performed in a specialized hospital as fully as possible and as early as the severity of the patient condition allows.
Combination of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis and spinal deformity. Literature review
Authors: Nikitin A. S. , Grin A. A.
Published: September 2018

The study objective is to analyze currently available publications on spinal deformity in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis.

Materials and methods. We analyzed 90 manuscripts published between 1980 and 2017.

Results. We describe the parameters used to assess spinal deformity and evaluate their role for predicting the course of degenerative spinal disease. We provide the results of latest studies assessing the impact of spinal deformity on the outcome of surgical treatment in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. We identified the following risk factors for scoliosis progression: wedge-shaped intervertebral disc in the frontal projection, low middle sacral axis, lateral spondylolisthesis, small L vertebral body, vertebral rotation, Cobb angle >20°, and sagittal imbalance.

Conclusion. We recommend decompressive interventions with facet joint preservation in patients with spinal deformity and degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis with no risk factors for scoliosis progression and radicular symptoms only (without pronounced low back pain). In patients with no risk factors for scoliosis progression, radicular symptoms, and low back pain, it is advisable to combine decompression with short fixation. For individuals at risk of scoliosis progression, we recommend supplementing decompression with long fixation exceeding scoliosis curve.
THE DATA SUBJECT’S RIGHTS AND LIABILITY FOR VIOLATIONS
Authors: Svetlov Sergey
Published: September 2018

With the development of information technology, data processing tools for individuals are increasingly used in various areas of life. Their accessibility and simplicity in circulation lead to more and more mass application of technologies in the lives of individuals, organizations, and society. Personal data of individuals are subject to turnover, inevitably there is a need to protect the carriers of this data from using the information received against their rights and interests. Despite the urgency of the problem, the concept of the subject of protection does not have a clear definition, as a result, the participants in legal relations will seek to interpret it depending on their needs. The law determines the administrative responsibility for the violation of the processing of data of individuals, but does not provide for special mechanisms for compensation for the damage caused. Consequently, there is an urgent need to specify the norms related to the protection of these individuals.

Authors: Ķinis Uldis
Published: September 2018

On January 2018 significant amendments to the Criminal Law and the Law On the Procedure for Application of the Criminal Law came into force in Latvia. These changes not only in the first time introduce the criminal responsibility for the emotional violence, but also determine the procedure for assessing emotional disparity, equating the effects to telepathic injuries.In the article, the author reviews a modality of crime “persecution” - cyber-persecution. Although the legislator in the annotation of the law provides that the article also shall be applicable to acts committed in cyberspace, at the same time, the author indicates some problems that may arise due to the narrow interpretation of the law by the law enforcement. The purpose of the article is to study the object (protected legitimate interest) and the objective side (actus reus) of the offense - cyber-stalking. For purposes of research, several methods have been used. The method of comparative analysis, for examination and comparison of external and international regulations. Methods of legal interpretation used to disclose the differences between the understanding of the written text of the definition of the crime and what ought to be understood in the meaning of the norm. Finally, the author presents the conclusions and proposals on the application of the norm.

Published: September 2018

Biological invasions of exotic plants can seriously contribute to ecological imbalances within areas to which they have been introduced, affecting, in addition to native plants, cultivated species. Consequently, the objective of the current study was to evaluate effects of allelopathic extracts of three exotic species on

the physiological quality of crambe seeds. Aqueous extracts of Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC (algaroba) were formulated; Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Nim) and Cryptostegia madagascariensis Bojer ex Decne (viuvinha) at 20% (200 g of dried leaves per liter of distilled water) placed in B.O.D at 25 ° C for 24 h. Petri dishes, lined with germitest paper sheets, were moistened with aqueous extracts at 2,5 times de paper weight.

In the experimental trial, we used the completely randomized, with four treatments (three extracts + control treatment) and four replicates of 25 seeds. The first and second germination counts were evaluated in the fourth and tenth days respectively; germination rate index (GRI), allelopathic effect index (AEI), seedling length and dry mass. P. juliflora and C. madagascariensis reduced germination by 84 and 91%, respectively, in the first count. The GRI was affected by the three species, while the AEI showed greater allelopathy for C. madagascariensis, reaching -0.90. Seedlings lengths were reduced in the presence of P. juliflora and C. madagascariensis. For crambe seeds, all extracts negatively affected their physiological potential.

Published: September 2018

The efficient use of genetic resources- stored in germplasm collections can be maximized if morphoagronomic and molecular information on the accessions is made available. To achieve this, a collection that is well-structured, well-curated and easily accessible (the core collection) is required. Consequently, the objective of the current study was to characterize 80 landrace accessions from the maize core collection of the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV), and assay thenngenetic diversity of the various landraces, considering

grain type and ecogeographic origin. For this, AFLP analysis was performed using 12 primer combinations. Genetic diversity of the collection was quantified with the UPGMA method, using the Jaccard Index to quantify dissimilarity. The core collection was divided into four sub-populations by grain type, and into six sub-populations based on ecogeographic origin. Genetic diversity analysis was performed both within and between sub-populations. A high level of genetic variability was found among the landrace accessions of UFV Core Collection, principally among those accessions with dentate type grains.Classification by grain type and ecogeographic origin allowed genetically divergent groups to be distinguished.

In the northern region of Brazil, information for the sweet potato regarding suitable soil management, especially organic fertilisation and intercropping with species of green manure, are still in the early stages. The aim of this research therefore, was to evaluate the effect of poultry litter on the yield of sweet potato roots grown under a monocrop system and when intercropped with sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea) under the soil and climate conditions of the State of Roraima. The experiment was carried out in the field from August to December of 2014, in the Sector for Olericulture of the School of Agricultural Technology, on the Murupu Campus of UFRR in the town of Boa Vista, Roraima. A randomised block experimental design was used, with three replications, in a (5 × 2) + 1 factorial scheme, representing five doses of poultry litter (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 t ha-1), with sweet potato as both a monocrop and intercropped with sunn hemp, and one additional treatment with organic and mineral fertiliser. Slips of the Granfina variety of sweet potato were used for planting. Seeds of sunn hemp were sown in double rows between the rows of sweet potato 30 days after planting the slips, with the first cutting carried out 90 days after sowing. The addition of poultry litter to the soil increased the total production of sweet potato roots for the crop planted in Roraima, whether intercropped or not with sunn hemp. Despite the benefits to sweet-potato yield from the addition of poultry litter and the intercrop with sunn hemp, total productivity was greater in the additional treatment that received organic and mineral fertiliser.

Understanding secondary forest structure and functioning is essential for future planning of effective use and/or recompositioning of such areas. The secondary succession process is influenced by the characteristics of componente species, their interaction with other species and with abiotic components.

Thus, the objective of the current study was to evaluate the vegetation structure, dispersion syndromes and pollination of a secondary forest fragment with 5 years of regeneration in the Atlantic Forest landscape of Pernambuco, northern Brazil. A total of 30 permanent 10 x 10 m plots with 10 m separations were used

for canopy sampling (i.e., all woody individuals with stem diameter at 1.30 m (DBH) greater than 5 cm. Floristic composition analysis recorded 32 species from 21 families. Absolute density was 150 individuals with basal area of 4.787 m² ha-1, and the Shannon-Weaver index (H ‘) was 2.960. The family with the highest number of species was Melastomataceae, while those with greatest abundance were Malpighiaceae (26) and Cecropiaceae (14). Species with the highest Importance Values included Byrsonima sericea (49.28%), Cecropia pachystachya (38.49%) and Bowdichia virgilioides (37.19%). The predominant tree species dispersal syndrome was zoochory (72 species), and the predominant pollination syndrome was melitophilia. Arboreal individuals were mostly recorded in the initial diameter and height classes, indicating that the study area is in the initial stage of succession.

Niger seed oil has excellent quality and quantity (30-50%) and is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, mainly linoleic acid (about 70%). Thus, control of environmental temperature and relative humidity, and of seed moisture content is essential to maintain seed oil quality during storage. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the desorption isotherms of niger seeds under different temperature and water activity conditions, to test the experimental data with different mathematical models, and discover which best represents the phenomenon, as well as calculate the isosteric heat value for the product. Hygroscopicity

was determined by the static gravimetric method, at temperatures of 30, 35 and 40 ºC, and water activity between 0.07 and 0.79 (decimal). For the experimental data, mathematical models commonly used to test hygroscopicity in agricultural products were evaluated. From the results obtained, it was concluded that: water

activity increases as moisture content rises; based on the statistical parameters, the models of Chung and Pfost, modified Henderson, Oswin, Sabbah, Sigma Copace, Halsey, Smith and Copace appropriatrely represented the desorption phenomenon of niger seeds; total isosteric desorption heat increased with reduction of moisture content, with values varying from 2539.62 to 3081.48 kJ kg-1, within the range of equilibrium moisture content of 2.4 to 12.2 (% dry basis).

Published: September 2018

O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi compreender os efeitos de sentidos produzidos sobre gênero em quatro tirinhas da série Silicone Blues da cartunista Laerte. O corpus de análise foi constituído por quatro tirinhas sobre transgeneridade da série, analisadas a partir da Análise do Discurso de Michel Pêcheux. Essa pesquisa, de caráter qualitativa, foi realizada entre janeiro e abril de 2014. Silicone Blues, através do humor, propicia reflexões e critica a lógica heteronormativa compulsória que articula como indissociados: o sexo (biologia), o gênero (determinação de atitudes de homens e mulheres) e a orientação heterossexual (atração por pessoas do mesmo sexo) pressupondo características fixas, imutáveis e diferenciais para homens e mulheres. No entanto, Silicone Blues não rompe definitivamente com a heteronormatividade, mas se apresenta como uma pièce de résistance transgênera, ou seja, um desafio ao que se estipula como normal para os sujeitos.

Authors: Chauhan E. S. , . Sarita
Published: September 2018

Recently, celiac disease is a prominent syndrome in developing countries and there is a growing demand for gluten-free foods. Availability of millets is easy and provides many opportunities for developing gluten-free foods. In this study food processing such as germination and popping were carried out to improve nutrients in millets and gluten-free food products were developed incorporating them at 10, 20 and 30%. Germinated Finger Millet Flour (GFMF) had ash (2.7 g/100g), fat (2.0 g/ 100g), crude fiber (4.5 g/100g), protein (8.7 g/100g), carbohydrate (69.2 g/100g), calcium (359.6 mg/100g) and iron (4.5 mg/100g). Popped pearl millet flour (PPMF) contained ash (2.2 g/100g), fat (5.9 g/100g), crude fiber (2.8 g/100g), protein (14.4 g/100g), carbohydrate (64.7 g/100g), calcium (51.2 mg/100g) and iron (8.9 mg/100g). Popping also enhanced ash, protein, carbohydrate, iron and phosphorus content in millets. Two products named fortified sweet pancake and millet dense halwa were prepared by incorporating GFMF and GPMF. Choco phirni and fritter snacks were developed by incorporating PFMF and PPMF. Sensory scores of the products revealed that 10% incorporation of all developed food products were best accepted. Thus incorporation of processed finger and pearl millets in developed food products helped in improving the nutrient contents and thus is a good alternative for celiac patients.
Soybean Cyst Nematode Control with Pasteuria nishizawae Under Different Management Practices

Published: September 2018

Core Ideas

We did not observe any significant differences in soybean yield, or soybean cyst nematode reproductive factor between the Clariva Complete treated soybean and the Cruiser Maxx Vibrance‐treated soybean.

Row spacing and seeding rate alone, both significantly impacted soybean yield.

Seeding rate significantly affected the soybean cyst nematode reproductive factor, but this was not consistent over the years of the study.

The manipulation of row spacing and seeding rate resulted in greater differences in soybean yield and soybean cyst nematode reproduction than the biological control seed treatment.

Soybean cyst nematodes (SCN, Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) are one of the most devastating pathogens of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], causing more than US$1.5 billion in yield losses annually. The current control measures of crop rotation and genetic resistance are not sufficient to manage SCN population densities. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of a bacterial biological control agent of SCN, called Pasteuria nishizawae, found in the Clariva Complete seed treatment (Syngenta, Syngenta Headquarters, Wilmington, DE) and its interaction with row spacing and seeding rate against Cruiser Maxx Vibrance. We evaluated these seed treatments at three seeding rates (185,250, 370,500 and 555,750 seeds ha−1) and two row spacings (38 and 76 cm) to determine the effect of the biocontrol component on soybean yield and SCN reproduction and its interaction with management practices. We observed similar soybean yield and SCN reproductive factors for soybean treated with either the Clariva Complete or Cruiser Maxx Vibrance seed treatment (Syngenta, Syngenta Headquarters, Wilmington, DE). In 2014 and 2015, soybean yield increased with each increase in seeding rate and decrease in row spacing. The SCN reproductive factor response was variable among factors. Based on our findings the most economically advantageous combination of seed treatment, row spacing, and seeding rate was Cruiser Maxx Vibrance planted in 38 cm rows and 185,250 seeds ha−1. Overall, the manipulation of row spacing and seeding rate resulted in more significant differences in soybean yield and SCN reproduction than the biological control seed treatment and should be considered when planting into fields infested with SCN.

The semiarid Texas High Plains has a declining water supply for irrigated crop production because of unsustainable pumping from the Ogallala aquifer. Conversion of land from annual crops to limited‐irrigated perennial forages is an option for profitable land use. ‘WW‐B.Dahl’ old world bluestem [Bothriochloa bladhii (Retz) S.T. Blake, OWB] is a well‐adapted grass known for deterring some soil‐dwelling insects, but effects of OWB on insect pollinators are unknown. The aim of this study was to determine whether adapted forage types (species or mixtures) affected insect pollinator abundance in pastures. Foraging insects were collected using bee bowls and compared among OWB alone, OWB mixed with alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), alfalfa, and a native grass mix. Twenty‐one families from four orders of insects were recovered over 3 yr. Sweat bee (Hymenoptera: Halictidae) was the most abundant family, with 59% of the total number of insects collected. Honey bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) constituted an additional 17% of the total number of insects collected, with hover flies (Diptera: Syrphidae) and skippers (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) found in lesser abundances. Interactions between forage type and years restricted consistent forage‐type effects. In general, the lowest abundances of foraging insects were commonly found in OWB growing alone, especially of the native, ground‐nesting sweat bee, whereas greater abundances were more commonly found in native grass and alfalfa pastures. Widespread adoption of WW‐B.Dahl OWB may reduce local numbers of foraging insects in the Texas High Plains, which could negatively affect pollinators in managed grasslands.
Conservation Agriculture Practices Increase Potentially Mineralizable Nitrogen: A Meta‐Analysis

Core Ideas

Conservation agriculture practices benefit potentially mineralizable nitrogen

Optimum N fertilizer inputs benefit potentially mineralizable nitrogen, but low and excessive N fertilizer does not

Legume cover crops benefit potentially mineralizable nitrogen, but non‐legume cover crops do not

Crop rotations with ≥3 crops benefit potentially mineralizable nitrogen, but simpler rotations do not

No‐till has greater PMN than chisel and moldboard plow

Conservation practices consistently increased both PMN and yield; however, the increase in PMN and yield were not correlated

Potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN) is considered an important indicator of soil health. Cropping systems management can affect PMN. However, the effect size and relationship with crop yield across specific management practices remain uncertain. We conducted a quantitative review to understand how conservation agriculture management practices affect PMN including N fertilizer application, cropping system diversity, and tillage system as well as the relationship of crop yield with PMN. Data were extracted from 43 studies published in peer‐reviewed journals, providing 494 paired comparisons of PMN and 26 paired comparisons of PMN and yield across selected crop management practices. In our meta‐analysis, the effect size for each management practice was expressed as a response ratio, calculated as PMN or yield for the fertilizer application, high crop diversity, and no‐till system to the no‐fertilizer, less diverse crop system, and tillage system. On average, N‐fertilized cropping systems had greater PMN; compared with no N fertilizer, inorganic N fertilizer had 22%, and manure had 34% higher PMN. Diverse cropping systems also had greater PMN; three or more different crops in rotation had 44% greater PMN than continuous cropping systems; cropping systems with a leguminous cover crop had 211% greater PMN than systems without cover crops. Compared with till systems, no‐till systems had 13% higher PMN. Overall, conservation practices consistently increased both PMN and yield; however, the increase in PMN and yield were not correlated. Consistent with the use of PMN as a soil health indicator, this synthesis demonstrates that practices benefiting PMN also benefit yield.
Theoretical Framework of Stance: An Introduction of A New Analytical Category, Neutral Epistemic Stance

This paper extends Hyland’s (2005) theoretical framework of stance through the introduction of an additional analytic category of stance, neutral epistemic stance corresponding to Mushin’s (2001) factual epistemological stance. This article reviews various theoretical frameworks of stance and argues that none of these theoretical frameworks provide neutral linguistic markers of stance in academic writing. Using a corpus of twelve accounting PhD theses I conducted a textual analysis of different rhetorical sections between the theses, identifying what stance markers are used and why such stance markers are used and in what linguistic context such markers are used. This process led me to identify a new analytical category, neutral epistemic stance. This study contributes to the ongoing literature on stance in academic writing, arguing that unevaluated stance is also indicating taking up a neutral stance and can be understood as part of ‘doing objectivity’ in academic writing.

The modified psychomotor Ilyin’s test for the definition of the basic properties of nervous systemis suggested. This express-test allows to make the conclusion about the force-weakness, themobility and inertness of the nervous processes of each student, features of psychomotor workingaccustom, working capacity, reliability and will of the examinee for a short period of time(Ozerov, V.P., 1999). The researches have allowed revealing three types of the nervous system.Besides, this test allows to judge about the character of working adjustment in the high-speedactivity. The suggested variant of the test can be especially useful at vocational guidance andprofessional selection, especially in high-speed kinds of activities (sports), and it will find broadapplication in training and consultation for the individual style of activity formation (Ozerov,V.P., 1989). The technique of usage of typological features of schoolchildren and students forincrease of the teaching and educational process efficiency of schoolchildren and for perfectionof the training and education individualization is also suggested (Ozerov, V.P., 1996, 1999).

Introduction. Well-developed professional and creative thinking increases future specialists’ competitiveness and ensures their professional success. Thus, developing professional and creative thinking in future foreign language teachers is important for their professional development. The novelty of the research lies in studying characteristics of professional and creative thinking related to the specifity of a foreign language specialist’s professional activity as follows: associativity, anticipation, divergence, flexibility, criticism, and constructiveness.
Methods. The pedagogical experiment involved 22 master students of the Institute of History, Philology and Media of Kabardino-Balkarian State University. The analysis of foreign and domestic works made it possible to choose theoretical appraches to developing professional and creative thinking in future English teachers and develop the author’s program. The idea of gamification of the educational process was underlying for this program. This required the following innovative training methods and techniques: (a) the REAL techniques (N. V. Maslov); (b) case method (situation–sample, situation–problem, and situation–exercise); (c) game technology; (d) reverse brainstorming (RB); (e) association method; and (f) dialogue with a destructive related assessment.
Results. The study results indicated a positive dynamics for all the characteristics of professional and creative thinking. The students had significantly higher levels of associativity, anticipation, divergence, flexibility, criticism, constructiveness. However, this process was incomplete and required the constant development of these characteristics of thinking.
Discussion. The development of professional and creative thinking is the main condition for a foreign language specialist’s professional development, which provides him/her with competitive advantages and great demand in the modern labor market. In conclusion: there is a need for purposeful work on the development of professional and creative thinking in future foreign language teachers.
