Angry, sad, or scared? Within-valence mapping of emotion words to facial and body cues in 2- to 4-year-old children
Authors: Wu Yang , Matteson Hannah M. , Baker Claire , Frank Michael C.
Published: May 2022

The acquisition of emotion words is critical to children's socio-emotional development. Previous studies report that children acquire emotion words gradually during ages 3–5 and beyond. The majority of this work, however, has used demanding tasks for young children (e.g., asking children to label emotion-related facial configurations) and has predominantly relied on facial configurations. Here we designed a child-friendly, word-comprehension task incorporating both facial configurations and body language. In two preregistered online experiments, we asked two to four-year-olds (N = 96) to connect emotion words—happy, sad, angry, and scared—to either facial configurations (Experiment 1) or combined facial and body cues (Experiment 2). We found relatively early competence in understanding emotion words, especially those of the same-valence. All age groups, including 2-year-olds, successfully linked emotion words to corresponding facial configurations (Experiment 1). Experiment 2 replicated this pattern and further showed that children performed equally well (though not substantially better) when given additional body cues. Parental reports of children's exposure to and use of masks during the COVID-19 pandemic did not correlate with children's performance in either experiment. Even before children can produce emotion words in an adult-like manner, they possess at least a partial understanding of those words and can map them to emotion cues within valence domains.
The time divide: Reducing the barrier of a lack of spare time increased physical activity levels during the UK Government-enforced COVID-19 lockdown
Authors: Warne Sam , Schenke Kimberley Caroline , Baker Steven J
Published: May 2022

Background & Objective: Many individuals do not meet the World Health Organisation (2010) recommendations of 150 minutes of physical activity a week, often citing a lack of time as a key reason. The UK government-mandated lockdown for the global SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) pandemic provided an opportunity to investigate whether a potential increase in available time would lead to increased activity levels, and whether an increase in activity would correlate with improvements in mental health. Methods: An online survey investigated physical activity levels (time and intensity) at three separate intervals within one calendar year: firstly, for a typical week before the government-mandated lockdown; secondly, a week during lockdown (including measures of mental wellbeing); and finally in August 2020 - which re-assessed physical activity levels and mental wellbeing after the easing of some lockdown restrictions. Results: Whilst participants reported spending more time engaging in physical activity during lockdown compared to before (with those who perceived themselves to have more spare time reporting a greater increase than those who did not), there was no difference in the intensity of this activity. Additionally, there was a significant positive correlation between physical activity levels and mental wellbeing during the initial period of lockdown. Conclusions: Overall, the study demonstrated that, as hypothesised by the COM-B model, reducing one of the most commonly reported barriers (time) did increase physical activity levels. Importantly, it also showed that those who engaged in more physical activity also reported better mental health, which is particularly striking given the likely overall detrimental effect of being in lockdown.
Equating Silence with Violence: When White Americans Feel Threatened by Anti-Racist Messages
Authors: Kachanoff Frank , Kteily Nour , Gray Kurt
Published: May 2022

Anti-racist messages educate people about structural racism and argue that indifference and inaction are the foundational building-blocks of race-based inequities. But these messages generate backlash, with several American states banning education about structural racism. We hypothesized that White Americans experience White identity threat and resist anti-racist messages most when they interpret these messages to equalize a lack of anti-racist action (i.e., indifference and silence), treating it as though it were the same as blatant racism. In contrast, we predicted that interpreting anti-racist messages to position silence as a foundational “building-block” for blatant racism would not evoke backlash. In Study 1 (N=428) ~55% of White respondents in a representative American sample interpreted anti-racist messages as equating indifference with violence, and an equalizing interpretation predicted White identity threat and message resistance. In Study 2 (N = 492) we found that experimentally manipulating anti-racist messages to evoke high vs. low levels of equalizing interpretation led White Americans to feel more White identity threat and in turn be more resistant to both the anti-racist message and anti-racist action in general. In Study 3 (N=1,337) seeing anti-racist messages (vs. no-message) had little effect on White Americans in general, but evoked identity threat and denial of racism among White Americans high in equalizing interpretation who did not interpret the messages as conveying inaction to be a building-block for structural racism. In Study 4a and 4b (N=789), we reveal a successful nudge for making anti-racist messages less threatening and more motivating for White Americans by using language less likely to evoke an equalizing interpretation.
Traditional Khmer Medicine and its role in Wildlife Trade in modern-day Cambodia
Authors: Lim Thona , Davis Elizabeth , Crudge Brian , Roth Vichet , Glikman Jenny Anne
Published: May 2022

Individuals across Cambodia depend on the use of natural products in Traditional Khmer Medicine (TKM), a traditional medicine system in Cambodia that has been practiced for hundreds of years. Cambodia is rich in fauna and flora species, many of which have been, and continue to be, traded domestically for traditional medicine use. Combined with other known exploitative practices, such as snaring for wild meat consumption and international trade in wildlife, domestic trade in wildlife medicine threatens populations of regional conservation importance. Here, we provide an updated understanding about how TKM is practiced in modern times; how TKM practices are transmitted and adapted; and roles of wildlife part remedies in TKM historically and presently. We conducted semi-structured interviews with TKM practitioners in Stung Treng, Mondulkiri Province, and at the National Center for Traditional Medicine in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. TKM is generally practiced in the private sector, and is mostly informal, without enrollment in any academic training. TKM practitioner roles commonly involve collecting, preparing, selling, and advising on medicine, rather than providing direct treatment. Over half of the interviewed TKM practitioners (57.6%) were still prescribing wildlife parts as medicine over the past 5 years, with 28 species of wild animals reported. Lorises and porcupine were the wildlife products cited as being in highest demand in TKM, primarily prescribed for women’s illnesses such as post-partum fatigue. However, the supply of wildlife products sourced from the wild was reported to have dropped in the 5 years prior to the survey, which represents an opportunity to reduce prescription of threatened wildlife. We suggest that our results be used to inform tailored demand reduction interventions designed to encourage greater reliance on biomedicine and non-threatened plants, particularly in rural areas where use of biomedicine may still be limited.
Beyond Diverging Preferences and Chilly Climate: Why Gender and Racial Segregation in College Majors Increase During the First Year of College
Authors: Gillis Alanna
Published: May 2022

This paper explores why gender and racial segregation in college major choices increase when comparing students’ initial major choices with those at the end of their first year of college. Two well-supported previous explanations are that students have diverging individual preferences and that women and students of color are pushed out of majors that have a chilly climate or few students who share their backgrounds. This study uses longitudinal interviews with 50 students (N=146 interviews) to qualitatively explore whether any additional mechanisms can explain the increased sorting during college. I find that social networks tend to be segregated by race and gender; when students start questioning whether they want to switch majors, their friends’ and family members’ majors/professions provide opportunities to pull students into new fields in which more people of their background are located. Additionally, students receive and give advice that is biased by a student’s gender and race/ethnicity, lending support that implicit bias, cultural stereotypes, and stereotype threat may play additional roles in explaining observed segregation. Studies that continue to primarily rely on individual-level differences in preferences will be unable to fully explain and disrupt this inequality that perpetuates far beyond college graduation.
Reading the organism: Studying the whole to give meaning to the parts
Authors: Moore-Anderson Christian
Published: May 2022

Current biology curricula in secondary schools do not theorise the whole organism, and instead constitute the learning of levels of organisation above and below the organism. The whole organism is the most concrete and accessible level for students, and where they can find meaning of new biological knowledge. Furthermore, the nature that students experience in their immediate world is likely to consist of other organisms. Consequently, there are two problems with the whole organism’s absence in biology curricula: Firstly, without a theory of the whole organism students are likely to connect new knowledge to their own intuitive theories of the organism. Secondly, students will struggle to connect with nature around them if they cannot explain organisms in a scientific manner. This article calls for the skill of reading organisms to be a priority of biology curricula, which is the ability to interpret, predict, and rationalise about the behaviour of organisms seen in nature. It is proposed that this skill depends on two complementary theories of the organism: the processual nature of organisms, and life history strategies. Additionally, by commencing curricula with these theories, students will have a frame of reference to make meaning of the rest of the course.
FERTILITY, ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY AND THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: BEFORE AND AFTER
Authors: Tavares Lara Patrício , Azevedo Alda Botelho , Arpino Bruno
Published: May 2022

COVID-19 caught the world unprepared, and its consequences are raising far-reaching demographic dilemmas. In this paper we look at the relationship between the General Fertility Rate (GFR) and economic uncertainty. The GFR is calculated using monthly data on births from the Short-Term Fertility Fluctuations data series on 17 European countries from 2010 to 2021. Our main independent variables are measures of subjective uncertainty constructed from Eurobarometer survey data - individual’s perceptions about their own current job situation and household finances. We use also objective measures of economic uncertainty such as unemployment rate and the consumer confidence index, traditionally used in the literature. Using fixed-effects regression models, we contribute to a better understanding of the fertility trends since the Great Recession by exploring the link between fertility and economic uncertainty, checking also whether it changed in the pandemic period. We show that economic uncertainty is pushing fertility down making recovery slower that it could otherwise be. We also show that during the pandemic period the subjective measures of uncertainty regarding individuals’ job and household finances have stronger effects than that of the measures of objective economic uncertainty.

Teknologi pengolahan citra saat ini telah banyak berkembang, salah satunya teknologi kompresi. Kompresi citra digital merupakan suatu upaya untuk melakukan tranformasi terhadap data atau simbol, tanpa menimbulkan perubahan yang signifikan atas citra digital bagi mata manusia yang mengamatinya. Citra merupakan istilah lain untuk gambar sebagai salah satu komponen multimedia memegang peranan sangat penting sebagai bentuk informasi visual. Dalam penelitian ini penulis menggunakan metode Lossy compression dan Lossless compression dimana metode Lossy compression yaitu suatu metode kompresi data yang menghilangkan sebagian informasi sedangkan metode Lossless compression yaitu suatu metode kompresi data dengan tidak ada informasi data yang hilang atau berkurang jumlahnya selama proses kompresi. Sehingga setelah proses dekompresi jumlah bit (byte) data atau informasi dalam keseluruhan data hasil sama persis dengan data aslinya (Saragih and Harahap 2019). Dari penelitian sebelumnya yaitu Implementasi Kompresi Citra Digital Dengan Mengatur Kualitas Citra Digital (Raharja and Harsadi 2018) penulis melanjutkan dengan melalukan perbandingan dengan menggunakan 20 citra berbeda lalu di kompres dengan metode lossless compression, diketahui rata-rata setelah kompres adalah empat puluh sembilan persen. Paper penelitian sebelumnya  yang menggunakan metode lossy menghasilkan rata-rata kompres enam puluh persen dan  paper penelitian yang penulis lakukan dengan metode lossless yang menghasilkan rata-rata kompresi empat puluh sembilan persen, maka dapat di simpulkan bahwa metode lossy lebih baik dibandingkan dengan metode lossless dalam mengkompresi citra

THE USE OF COUNTERPROPAGANDA ELEMENTS IN UKRAINIAN HISTORY LESSONS
Authors: Horokhivskyi Petro
Published: May 2022

The article reveals the importance of using counterpropaganda elements in Ukrainian history lessons to counteract the hostile propaganda that constitutes the “hybrid” warfare waged against Ukraine by the Russian Federation. It is carried out through the media and education.It is noted that information aggression is carried out in order to erode national self-identification, weaken patriotism and readiness to defend the Fatherland. For a long time, Russia has been building an image of Ukraine as an enemy, including accusations of treason, the collapse of the USSR, abandonment of brotherly friendship, severance of economic and cultural relations; formation of myths about the threat posed by Ukraine to Russians; justification of artificiality of Ukraine as a state; discrediting the political leadership of Ukraine; rewriting history; making fun of the Ukrainian language, traditions, state symbols, etc.Information resistance to enemy propaganda is carried out by various state and public organizations, but a very large task is assigned to general educational institutions of the country and, first and foremost, to history lessons designed to produce media literacy in students, the ability to distinguish fakes and to counter them with the necessary facts and arguments.It is established that the methodology of teaching Ukrainian history has considerable potential for the organization of counter-propaganda work: methods, techniques, forms and ways of organizing educational work. First of all, it is the use of methods and techniques of problem-based learning, interactive technologies, media technologies, holding a lesson in the form of discussions, as well as the use of such types as a round table, expert group meetings, forum, symposium, debates, etc.The involvement of students in research activities: writing essays, mini-research, participation in projects is important for organizing counter-propaganda in the study of history.

FEATURES OF THE ESTABLISHMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF PRIMARY EDUCATION IN UKRAINE (BY THE CASE OF TRANSCARPATHIAN REGION (ZAKARPATTIA))
Authors: Atroshchenko Tetiana , Bondar Tamara
Published: May 2022

The article examines the features that characterize the primary education development in Ukraine with a special focus on the Transcarpathian region (Zakarpattia). The purpose of the article is to clarify and expand the periodization table that reflects the formation and development of primary education in Ukraine. It also highlights the features within each stage, focusing on primary education in Transcarpathia. A set of interrelated research methods was used: general scientific methods including but not limited to analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization were applied to compare and contrast the research findings; special historical and pedagogical methods, for instance, historical-retrospective and historical-structural methods were used to systematize the historiography of the research issue; a chronological method was applied to develop a periodization that illustrates how primary education in Ukraine was formed and developed. The authors argued that the periodization developed by Z. Onyshkiv illustrates the flow with which primary education developed and evolved into the present position, however, there is a need to update the information, taking into account current trends in primary education. Consequently, the 6th stage called the stage of the New Ukrainian School, which reveals the essence of the modernization of primary education has been added. Thus, six stages describe the main landmarks in primary education development: Stage 1 marks the beginning of education when primary schools were opened (from the 10th century to the end of the 18th century). Stage 2 is identified as the acceptance of primary education when there were attempts to establish programs to train teachers for primary school (early 19th century and 20s of the 20th century). Stage 3 is characterized by the extensive reforming targeted at primary education and in-service primary school teachers’ training programs (between the 20s and 50s of the 20th century). Stage 4 emphasizes the intensive development of primary education and teacher training programs (between the late 1950s and 1990). Stage 6 highlights the measures taken by independent Ukraine to improve primary education (1991–2015). Stage 6 accentuates the stage that has started the new school reform marked as the New Ukrainian School reform (between 2016 and the present) (2022). This stage has been added to illustrate how entirely different the modern reform is. The New Ukrainian school reform stage is aimed at harmonizing the educational goals in Ukraine with the goals set for European education.

FEATURES OF FORMATION OF VOLITIONAL QUALITIES IN ADOLESCENCE
Authors: Vasiliev Gennady
Published: May 2022

The article highlights the essence of the concept of “will”, “volitional qualities”; the approaches of scientists to the mentioned concepts are analyzed.Determining the essence of volitional qualities in adolescents is based on the following theoretical principles: volitional qualities are independent, stable mental formations of personality, the content of which is determined by the stage of personal experience, knowledge, skills, motives and attitudes; volitional qualities act as a single, open, dynamic, holistic system, the components of which, depending on the objective conditions of a particular activity are differently correlated with each other, ensuring the dominance of one or another volitional quality; the system-creating function of volitional qualities is the generalized ability to overcome various difficulties that arise on the way to achieving the goal; success of activity and the degree of formation of volitional qualities are interrelated and interdependent: the formation of volitional qualities is determined by the nature and content of activities, in turn, the success of activities depends on the degree of formation of volitional qualities necessary for its implementation.The group of volitional qualities of personality is characterized (purposefulness, initiative, independence, self-control, determination, persistence). Volitional qualities at each age have their own peculiarities of manifestation, which must be taken into account in their formation. It is emphasized that the process of formation of volitional qualities in adolescents is connected with, needs, interests and motives for different activities.

Keywords: will; qualities; volitional qualities; activity; personality; adolescence; formation of volitional qualities; the process of forming volitional qualities.

LANGUAGE PORTFOLIO AS AN INTEGRATION OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ASSESSMENT
Authors: Boyko Yakiv
Published: May 2022

The article deals with the benefits of using the language portfolio as an integration of digital technologies in the English language assessment.The research is devoted to the use of digital technologies, describes the structure of the language portfolio and analyzes the positive aspects of e-portfolio.Prior to the transition to a more communicative approach in language learning, formal language exams were very narrow, which could not take into account all communicative skills. Teachers are trying to evaluate a wider range of communicative skills with the help of the new portfolio in order to make the current process more relevant, as well as to involve students in self-improvement and reflection on their own learning.Though many teachers do not try to integrate digital technology into their assessment system, the language portfolio is one of the most modern means of providing assessment based on modern experience in the field of language learning.The author explores the potential use of an e-portfolio that can be quickly distributed and even adapted. But most teachers have never used an e-portfolio or have only begun to incorporate some of its elements into their teaching and learning. The use of an electronic portfolio contains a number of advantages, among which we would like to highlight the opportunity for the younger generation to gather a large amount of evidence of their communicative competence and provide a comprehensive assessment of the student’s language skills. In the portfolio students include videos, audio recordings, examples of mind maps, wiki entries, examples of articles read, tests on the Internet, etc., which can be found in the central repository.

Keywords: information and communication technologies; Internet; feedback; Internet resources; English language; language portfolio; digital technologies; assessment; communicative language teaching.

PECULIARITIES OF MOTIVATION OF EDUCATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY OF EDUCATORS WITH DIFFERENT STYLES OF COGNITIVE ACTIVITY
Authors: Avetisova Iryna , Bilotserkivska Yuliia , Kholostenko Yuliia , Shaparenko Кhrystyna
Published: May 2022

The article presents an analysis of the current state of the problem of the formation of cognitive activity of applicants for higher education, the insufficiency of its development in the theory and practice of vocational education. The development of cognitive activity contributes to the formation of a positive attitude toward theoretical knowledge, educational and professional activities, the acquisition of practical skills, the formation of professional and personal qualities of applicants, their motivational, cognitive and organizational readiness for professional self-education, creating the basis for the development of an individual style of professional activity, ensuring professional mobility of the future specialist.An empirical study of the characteristics of educational and professional motivation of applicants for higher education with different styles of cognitive activity allows us to state that the subjects have divergent, accommodative and assimilative styles of cognitive activity, among which divergent and accommodative ones predominate. The leading motives for the educational and professional activity of applicants with a divergent style of cognitive activity are the acquisition of knowledge, obtaining a diploma, the desire to become a highly qualified specialist, and achieving the approval of parents and others. For applicants with an accommodation style – the acquisition of knowledge, obtaining a diploma, the desire to become a highly qualified specialist, ensuring the success of future professional activities, acquiring deep and strong knowledge. Applicants with an assimilating style of cognitive activity have mastered a profession, received a diploma, successfully continued their studies in subsequent courses, and successfully passed exams. Thus, it has been proven that a different style of cognitive activity has a significant impact on educational and professional motivation. When organizing the cognitive activity of applicants for higher education in order to activate it, it is necessary to take into account the following individual psychological characteristics of a person: temperament, which manifests itself primarily in the style of activity; degree of education – the level of development of intellectual abilities, one’s own experience in the knowledge of the world around; cognitive styles, intellectual lability; the dominant type of perception of information: visual (visual), auditory (auditory), kinesthetic; motivation of cognitive activity; manifestation of will; relationships with teachers, fellow students; emotional state, ability to self-organize.

Keywords: motivation of educational and professional activit; applicant of higher education; cognitive activity; style of cognitive activity; activity style; cognitive style; education; higher education.

The author of the article has highlighted pedagogical conditions for the development of children’s verbal creativity.The purpose of the study is to conduct a theoretical analysis of psychological and pedagogical research on the problem of verbal creativity of preschool children and to identify pedagogical conditions for its development. Research methods – theoretical analysis of the literature on psychology, pedagogy, comparison and classification of materials on the research problem, method of theoretical constructions.Based on theoretical analysis, it has been established that for active and successful participation of preschool children in verbal creativity children have to require a psychological platform in the form of developed imagination, creative thinking, figurative perception, speech in all its aspects. The structure of the process of development of verbal creativity in preschool childhood includes three stages: preparatory (accumulation of experience), the actual process of verbal creativity and the final (analysis of the results).The implementation of pedagogical conditions for the development of verbal creativity of preschoolers requires more careful consideration of the problem of preparing a specialist for the development of verbal creativity of children, which we have seen as prospects for further research.

Relevance. The environment, represented by many components, can have an unfavorable influence on human health. One of the components of air pollution, a solid-phase aerosol, that interacting with a droplet aerosol released from the mucous membrane of the upper airway of a sick person, forms dispersed structures containing various species of microorganisms. Dust fractions, being a source of microorganisms with a diverse phenotype, can become a useful object of environmental monitoring carried out for preventive purposes. Aims. Determination of the possibility of use of the physical phenomenon of light absorption for detection of the pollutions and their quantification on surfaces made from various materials and on environmental objects with unequal conditions of use.Materials and methods. The surfaces of various materials with natural and artificial contamination in the closed rooms of an educational institution were studied in order to classify the level of their biotic and abiotic contamination based on the analysis of the spectrum of absorbed and reflected radiation registered by the photodiodes of the prototype device. Internal control of the levels of biotic contamination of the examined surfaces was carried out with use of ATP-luminometer and a cultural method. Results. The third level classification of the contaminations on the surfaces in public areas: clean, uncertain and dirty was developed on the results of experimental studies with use of «PROBER» test system, expressed in units. Statistically significant differences in the indicators of the test system were confirmed in the study of surfaces with different levels of contamination (p < 0.01) and the correlation of the test system indicators with control measurements of the levels of surface contamination by ATPluminometer (φ * emp = 1.281) and a cultural method.Conclusions. Physical parameters such as the spectra of absorbed and reflected light and their differences can be used to determine the levels of dust contamination of surfaces in order to assess the safety of the environment for human health.

Relevance. The conceptual task of epidemiological surveillance as part of the sanitary protection of the territory of the Russian Federation (RF) from the importation and spread of diseases that pose a danger to the population at the present stage is to identify potential risks of a sanitary and еpidemic emergency and prompt response if they occur. Epidemic manifestations of diseases caused by new respiratory viruses, in most cases, cause a crisis in public health, which indicates the need for a comprehensive study of the features of their course, determination of criteria for the potential risk of an emergency of an еpidemic nature, which will make it possible to timely organize a complex of anti-epidemic (preventive) measures. Aim. Study, systematize and stratify the features of the atypical course of the epidemic process of acute respiratory viral infections caused by new variants of the pathogen in a city with a population of more than one million people. Materials and methods. The study used retrospective data on infectious morbidity in different age groups from government reports for the period 2015–2020, data from annual forms No. 2 of the federal state statistical observation for the period 2009–2020. Rospotrebnadzor Administration for the Rostov Region, Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Rostov Region. Statistical data processing was carried out by a generally accepted method. Results. The analysis showed that the periods 2009–2010, 2015–2016, 2020–2021 had significant changes in the epidemic process in relation to its typical long-term course with a predominance in the structure of the incidence of ARVI, including influenza and new coronavirus infection, of various age groups for each period, an atypically severe infectious process and an increase in the number of community-acquired pneumonia. Moreover, in the periods 2009–2010, 2015–2016. Influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 virus was dominant in the etiological structure, in 2020–2021 – the causative agent of the new coronavirus infection SARS-CoV-2. Thus, the features of the epidemic (against the backdrop of a pandemic) spread of ARVI in Rostov-on-Don, established as a result of a retrospective analysis, made it possible to differentiate the main-external and internal-risks of the formation of emergencies of an еpidemic nature associated with new respiratory viruses in a city with a population of more than one million people.
