Discourseology of Linguistic Consciousness: Neural Network Modeling of some Structural and Semantic Relationships
Authors: Shymko Vitalii
Published: May 2021

Objective. Study of the validity and reliability of the discourse approach for the psycholinguistic understanding of the nature, structure, and features of the linguistic consciousness functioning.

Materials & Methods. This paper analyzes artificial neural network models built on the corpus of texts, which were obtained in the process of experimental research of the coronavirus quarantine concept as a new category of linguistic consciousness. The methodology of feedforward artificial neural networks (multilayer perceptron) was used in order to assess the possibility of predicting the leading texts semantics based on the discourses ranks and their place in the respective linear sequence. Same baseline parameters were used to predict respondents' self-assessments of changes in their psychological well-being and in daily life routine during the quarantine, as well as to predict their preferences of the quarantine strategies. The study relied on basic ideas about discourse as a meaning constituted by the dispersion of other meanings (Foucault). The same dispersion mechanism realizes itself in interdiscourse interaction, forming a discursive formation at a higher level. The method of T-units (Hunt) was used to identify and count discourses in the texts. The ranking of discourses was provided based on the criterion of their semantic-syntactic autonomy.

Results. The conducted neural network modeling revealed a high accuracy in predicting the work of the linguistic consciousness functions associated with retrospective self-assessment and anticipatory imagination of the respondents. Another result of this modeling is a partial confirmation of the assumption concerning existence a relationship between the structural parameters of the discursive field (the rank of the discourses and their place in the respective linear sequence) and the leading semantics of the text.

Conclusions. A discourse approach to the study of linguistic consciousness, understanding of its structure and functioning features seems to be reasonably appropriate. The implementation of the approach presupposes the need to form a base of linguistic corpora with the inclusion in each text markup of such parameters as: the presence of specific discourses, their ranks, positions in the linear sequence of discourses.
Концептуалізація аксіологічної опозиції добро – зло (خوبیxubi – بدی badi) у свідомості носіїв перської мови
Authors: Mazepova Olena
Published: May 2021

Метою статті є встановлення концептуального змісту аксіологічної опозиції «добро – зло» у перській мовній свідомості на основі проведеного з носіями перської мови психолінгвістичного експерименту та когнітивної інтерпретації його результатів.

Методи дослідження. Використано два методи психолінгвістичного аналізу семантики слова: вільний асоціативний експеримент та метод прямого тлумачення або розгорнутої дефініції слів. Усього в експерименті взяли участь 102 особи різного віку і статусу. За результатами оброблення даних, отриманих на першому етапі експерименту, було сформовано асоціативне поле досліджуваних концептів, а внаслідок аналізу розгорнутих предикацій у процесі семантизації запропонованих слів – їхнє семантичне поле. В основу оброблення експериментальних даних покладено особливу методику групування мовного матеріалу із застосуванням контент-аналізу: одиницями аналізу поставали опорні слова, що повторювалися у відповідях різних респондентів і розглядалися як ключові концептуальні ознаки. Завершальним етапом аналізу стала когнітивна інтерпретація даних, базована на принципах «конструювання» змісту мовного виразу Р. Ленекера.

Результати. В результаті проведеного дослідження встановлено, що концептуалізації аксіологічної опозиції «добро – зло» перською мовною свідомістю притаманні як універсальні, так і етноспецифічні ознаки. При цьому переважання перших із них свідчить про те, що уявлення носіїв перської мови і культури про добро і зло цілком вкладаються в загальнолюдську картину світу, згідно з якою ці морально-етичні категорії займають основоположне місце в системі цінностей індивіда.

Висновки. Як показав проведений аналіз, застосування дослідницького апарату двох сучасних мовознавчих напрямів – когнітивної та психолінгвістики – до вивчення специфіки концептуалізації різних фрагментів зовнішнього і внутрішнього світу людини представниками різних етнокультурних спільнот уможливлює в найбільш об’єктивний спосіб визначення набору універсальних та етноспецифічних ознак, притаманних як процесам асоціювання респондентів, так і змістовій структіурі досліджуваних концептів.

Authors: Abramova Galina , Dmitryuk Natalya
Published: May 2021

Introduction. Objective: linguacultural analysis of the edification words, collected in a free associative experiment (FAE) and published in the “Kazakh Associative Dictionary”.

Materials & Methods. Set of associations of instructive character singled out by the continuous sampling method into a separate fragment of the world paremiological image is a unique representative research material included into the Kazakh Associative Dictionary, in the 23 655 associative reactions of the students of different universities in Shymkent city for112 stimulus words, 272 sayings – edifications recorded in 200 questionnaires. Archetypal layers of the ethnic linguistic consciousness represented in the edifying paremias reflect the Kazakh spiritual and moral values. The content of the FAE and Kazakh Associative Dictionary reflects the indicative feature of the study, i.e. introduction of the gender factor differentiating the men and women associations; it provided for revealing and presentation of the reliable characteristics of the gender determined linguistic consciousness of the informants. The content of the sayings-edification mainly relates to the moral life of the nation, they enshrine the generally accepted ethical norms.

Results. Gender irrelevant positions: evil and good are equally evaluated differently; respect for elders is clearly manifested.

Gender marked positions: for men – duty to the homeland, responsibility for the family; desire to work together; for women – the desire to protect family values, to correspond to the accepted world order, androcentrism.

Conclusions. The linguistic consciousness of the ethnos (in particular, its fragment as an actively demanded paremiological fund) reflects archetypal ideas about the ethnic spiritual and moral worldview values, on which stable elements of the modern Kazakh linguistic culture are formed and actively functioning; being vital for the ethnic integrity.

Introduction: Anal cancer is a rare disease, and there is a lack of phase 3 studies in the advanced setting. Currently, the standard treatment is based on interAACT phase 2 study using Carboplatin (C) (AUC 5, D1q28) plus Paclitaxel (P) (80 mg/m2, D1,8,15q28). This study demonstrated a median OS of 20m, a response rate of 59% and serious adverse events in 36% of patients (pts). However, this regimen requires more infusions and hospital visits than a 3-weekly CP regimen, resulting in high social and financial cost.
Objective: To retrospectively access safety and efficacy of treatment with 3-weekly CP in advanced SCCA.
Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective analysis of patients (pts) who received first-line treatment with 3-weekly CP for inoperable locally recurrent or metastatic SCCA between Jun/2011 and Jun/2018. Study data were collected using REDCap®. Survival analyses were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log-rank test. Prognostic factors were evaluated by Cox regression.
Results: 47 patients were included. Median age was 57 years, 60% (n=28) were female and 21% (n=10) HIV positive.16% (n=7) had metastatic disease at diagnosis. The majority of pts (n=42) were treated with paclitaxel (P) 175 mg/m2 plus carboplatin (C) AUC 5 every 3 weeks. The median number of cycles was 4 and dose reduction by toxicity was necessary for 30% (n=14). Grade 3/4 adverse events were neutropenia 19% (n=9), anemia 4% (n=2), fatigue 4% (n=2), neuropathy 2% (n=1). Two pts had interruption due to toxicity and no treatment-related death. 64% of patients benefited from treatment, 4% with complete response. The median overall survival (OS) was 10 months(m). In a multivariable analysis, HIV-positive (HIV+) status (HR 3.1; 95%CI 1.8-8.4; p 0.001) and ECOG 2/3 (HR 3.9; 95%CI 1.2-8.1; p 0.01) showed a negative impact on OS. Median OS was 16m for HIV- vs 4m for HIV+ group; and 20m for ECOG 0/1 vs 4m for ECOG 2/3.
Conclusion: The present study suggests that 3-weekly CP has similar outcomes to the InterAACT regimen. Nevertheless, pts who are HIV+ or have ECOG 2/3 had poor outcomes and other treatment strategies should be studied for these pts.

Published: May 2021

This work proposes to study Support Foundations that are private non-profit organizations which support public universities by managing their teaching, research and extension projects. These foundations are inserted as the Third Sector Institutions. The research targets verify if the compliance level affects the surplus probability of support foundations. The sample includes thirty-four support foundations. The accounting statements analyzed were the balance sheet; the deficit and/or surplus demonstration; the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity; the cash flow statement and the explanatory notes for the years 2014, 2015 and 2016. The analysis was performed by a checklist, including 31 (thirty-one) items. It is important to highlight that the data estimation was developed using the logit estimator, on a robust error panel and was included time and state dummies. The results showed that 55% (fifty-five per cent) of the Support Foundations comply with the current legislation. Once foundations are according to the legislation, its surplus probabilities decrease.

Published: May 2021

Acclimatising podiums that are not destined for instruction is not a laidback chore but is attainable with suitable strategies and arrangement for educators and scholars. Social networks have amalgamated many students into an online world in exploring relationships, finding and acquiring obligatory evidence for their erudition and research. This research aims to explore availability, utilisation and expertise level of the social media platform for learning, and the influence of gender on the utilisation. A structured questionnaire was administered on 450 students across universities in Kwara state. The reliability coefficient of 0.90, and 0.81 using Cronbach’s alpha was deduced. Statistical tools of mean, t-test and Variance (ANOVA) were employed to analyse data for the study. Findings of the study revealed that undergraduates’ expert level on utilising social media for instruction was intermediate and there was no noteworthy difference between undergraduates’ expertise level in the adoption of social media for instruction. The study concluded that undergraduates have average expertise skill on the adoption of social media for instruction. It was recommended that lecturers in tertiary institutions use most social media platforms to teach students as this will boost their proficiency.

Published: May 2021

The study of color symbolism in the culture of the Turkic peoples is relevant and necessary, since color reflects the ethnic mentality of the Turkic peoples, their collective social and cultural experience, as well as the individual’s personal psychophysical perception of the world. The visible world is also perceived through color, and therefore color is understood as an act of world vision and world awareness in the human mind. The purpose of this research (article) is to reveal the features of the mental perception of color by the Turkic peoples on the basis of the Orkhon-Yenissei written monuments, in particular, through the prism of ancient Turkic toponyms. The symbolic content of color is analyzed using data from cultural anthropology, history, linguistics, and ethnography. Therefore, the general scientific methods (descriptive, comparative) used in the article, combined with historical and cultural and conceptual-semantic ones, allowed us to reveal the symbolism of co lor in the culture of the ancient turks, to determine their mentality and spiritual views. The Orkhon-Yenissei monuments are evidence of the ancient Turkic civilization and the unique cultural history of the Turkic peoples. The ancient Turkic peoples recorded on stone steles the names of the Turkic khagans, their heroic campaigns and battles, the names of their own and other people’s settlements, settlements and countries, the names of natural objects, in the meaning of which color symbols also played an important role. The article provides a semantic analysis of green, black, and white color symbols, reveals the variety of their meanings that reveal the perception of the world by the ancient Turks. Color symbols are defined as a unique code of the common Turkic culture

Published: May 2021

An ethnographic expedition on the traditional water use system covered the settlements of Karakum, Sazdy, Shizhaga, Tapa, Zhalanash, Akbay in the Aral Sea region. In these settlements, the traditional system of water use is provided by groundwater sources. Regional ethnographic features of the traditional system of folk knowledge about the groundwater extraction, groundwater storage in wells are preserved in the sandy and desert regions of the Aral Sea. In the Aral Sea region, depending on the local material and soil composition, there are permanent and temporary types of traditional wells. Wells with fortified walls of zhuzgun (dүzgen), heather (kokbut), and stones provided permanent types of wells. Sand wells with unreinforced natural walls and ice pits or ice wells cut over the river in winter are considered temporary wells. Residents of the Aral Sea region have mastered the traditional method of natural drying for a year of zhuzgun or heather, chosen for lining the walls of wells. Stacking the well’s walls provides information not only about the traditional system of hydraulic engineering, but also about the unique art of underground construction.
The Game Ordo as an Element of Forming the Strategic Thinking of the Kyrgyz Ethnic Group
Authors:   Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, Macichevna Torogeldieva Baktykan
Published: May 2021

The article examines the uniqueness of the Kyrgyz folk game ordo from more than 50 different games on alchiki (in the Kyrgyz language chuko). The essence of ordo is revealed as a team game of men knocking out the khan and the alchiks from the drawn circle. The circle drawn on the ground meant the territory of the state, in the center of which was the ruler’s headquarters (a depression was made where tompoy-alchik was located. Rival players worked out a plan to capture a given country using various maneuvers. The author shows that this game was a kind of military map of the state, with the help of which the Kyrgyz (men) were trained in the military art of maneuvering, the ability and methods of introducing combat operations. It formed the players’ strategic and tactical thinking skills, which contributed to making well-thought-out decisions in the interests of the community. There are five types of ordo games. It is noted that the researchers pay attention to the fact that ordo is found among nomadic peoples only among the Kyrgyz. This game, forgotten in the Soviet era, is now included in World Nomadic Games. The author draws attention to the importance of teaching the ordo game as a sport from the school bench in all educational institutions of the republic.

The article notes that the formation of Abay studies begins at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1909, the first collection of the poet was published in Kazan, in the same and subsequent years, representatives of the Kazakh intelligentsia such as A. Bokeikhanov, M. Zhumabaev, S. Donentaev, A. Baitursynov publish their notes on Abai’s work. An active study of Abai’s work takes place in the 1920s, after the establishment of Soviet power, when in 1922 Abai’s poems were published in Kazan and Tashkent. In the same years, the magazine «Abay», other magazines and newspapers («Kyzyl Kazakstan», «Enbekshi Kazak», «Akzhol» gazeti) were published, in which articles of famous writers, literary critics Zh. Aimautov, A. Sagdi, B. Kenzhebaev were published, S. Mukanova, K. Kemengerova, S. Sadvokasova, Y. Mustambaev, dedicated to the work of Abai, the formation of Kazakh Soviet literature. Controversy flares up in the press. On the one hand, Abai is recognized as a talented poet, lyricist, philosopher, whose work reflected the life and philosophy of the Kazakh people, it is noted that the development of Kazakh literature and language begins with Abai’s work.On the other hand, under the influence of revolutionary class ideas, the ideas of the proletkult, Abai is perceived as a poet of the past era, the era of bays, class discrimination, religious motives in Abai’s lyrics, which were developed in the last years of the poet’s life, are criticized.The article is devoted to the analysis of these controversial polemics in the formation of early Abay studies at the beginning of the XX century.

Background: One of the concerns of consumers of animal protein sources is the residues of heavy metals in meat. The accumulation of these elements in meat and the consumption by humans can cause acute and chronic disorders in the function of vital organs. Methods: For the estimation of cadmium, zinc and silver in the poultry meat products, 100 samples of chicken breasts, thighs, hearts and livers were collected from meat markets in Isfahan Province. The tissues were digested and passed through filter paper, and the cadmium, zinc and silver contents were measured by an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Results: The mean contents of cadmium in the chicken thigh, breast, liver and heart samples were 0.055±0.021, 0.048±0.023, 0.074±0.031, and 0.012±0.004 mg/kg, respectively. The mean contents of zinc in the chicken thigh, breast, liver and heart samples were 17.19±8.10, 15.70±5.75, 22.10±10.87, and 19.70±10.38 mg/kg, respectively. The concentrations of cadmium and zinc were below the international permissible limits in all samples. The mean concentrations of silver in some chicken thigh, breast, liver and heart samples were 0.0080±0.0044, 0.0048±0.0013, 0.012±0.009 and 0.0036±0.006, respectively. Of note, silver was not detected in most chicken samples. Conclusion: This study did not find cadmium, zinc and silver in the chicken meat samples above the international permissible limits. However, frequent monitoring for heavy metals in poultry meat sold in public markets is warranted to prevent their transmission to the human food chain.

Background: Trimethyltin (TMT) is a toxic agent that causes oxidative stress, a laboratory model for inducing hippocampal injuries. Pentoxifylline (PTX) inhibits phosphodiesterase, inflammation and oxidative stress. This study evaluated the neuroprotective effects of PTX on injuries induced by TMT in the hippocampus. Methods: Sixty male Wistar rats were divided into five groups of 12 each. Group 1 received normal saline while Group 2 received a single dose of TMT (8 mg/kg). The other four groups received TMT at 8 mg/kg plus 60, 100 or 120 mg/kg PTX twice daily for six consecutive days. The rats’ working and reference memory were investigated, using radial arm maze tasks. At the end of the experiments, the rats’ brains were removed and processed for histological study of the hippocampus. Results: The TMT treatment prolonged the four baited arms tasks (P<0.001), while the PTX treatment at 60, 100 or 120 mg/kg significantly reduced the effects of TMT on the spatial memory (P<0.01). The working and reference memory errors significantly increased in the TMT group compared to the controls (P<0.001) while the PTX treatment significantly reduced the TMT effect (P<0.001). Also, TMT increased the number of pyknotic cells in the hippocampus (P<0.001), while PTX significantly decreased the mean number of pyknotic cells (P<0.05). Conclusion: The findings suggest that PTX can protect against the memory deficit and deleterious effects on rat hippocampus induced by TMT neurotoxicity. Thus, PTX is likely to be a potential agent to prevent against the neurotoxicity induced by TMT.

Background: Endocrine compounds, such as Bisphenol A (BPA), stimulate or inhibit the activities of hormones, nuclear receptors in the central nervous system, liver and other organs. They may be disposed of in the environment inadverdently around industrial sites. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of BPA on human lymphocytes in culture at varying concentrations. Methods: 0.1 mL heparinized 0.2 mL peripheral blood taken from a healthy male and a female were plated in culture media under sterile conditions. To prepare the reference dose at a concentration of 0.05 mg/mL, 0.027g BPA was dissolved in 1 L dimethyl sulfoxide and the highest dose of 50 μg/mL BPA solution was prepared. After separating the stock solution, 50 μg/mL BPA was diluted to prepare 20, 10 or 5 μg/mL doses. Results: After 24 h of incubation, abnormal cell±Standart Error (%)[AC±SE (%)] 1.10±1.0, chromosomal aberration/cell±Standart Error (CA/cell±SE) 0.025±0.01 was determined in control group, and AC±SE (%) 2.00±0.98 in control group. After 48 h of incubation 0.98, CA/cell±SE was found to be 0.020±0.01. After 24 and 48 h of incubation, AC±SE (%) and CA/cell±SE ratios were 30.00±3.24, 34.00±3.35 and 0.325±0.03, 0.430±0.04, respectively. Conclusion: The cytotoxic effect of BPA on human lymphocytes was investigated in this study at reference concentration and lower doses. Our findings support the fact that BPA substitutes may not be sufficiently safe for widespread use as industrial chemicals.

Анотація. Представлено результати вивчення інтересів та мотивів до занять юних спортсменів 7–8 років груп початкової підготовки та попередньої базової підготовки (9–11 років), які займаються спортивною гімнастикою в ДЮСШ. Мета. Визначити особливості формування інтересу та мотивації до занять гімнастикою у групах початкової та попередньої базової підготовки. Методи. Аналіз та узагальнення даних науково-методичної літератури, науково-педагогічні спостереження, анкетування, статистична обробка даних. Результати. Для того, щоб досягти високих результатів у спортивній гімнастиці, необхідно пройти ряд етапів, починаючи з початкового та закінчуючи спортом вищих досягнень. Як зазначають провідні науковці Ю. К. Гавердовський та В. М. Смолевський, неможливо досягти успіху на тренуваннях та змаганнях без належного рівня мотивації. Тому для ефективної підготовки спортсменів необхідно визначати та підвищувати інтерес і мотивацію до обраного виду спорту, починаючи з початкового етапу навчання. Якщо дитина матиме інтерес та стійку мотивацію до занять з гімнастики, буде і результат продуктивної роботи. За результатами дослідження було встановлено, що юні гімнасти керуються різноманітними мотивами, серед яких найбільш важливими є підвищення рівня фізичної підготовленості – 43,3 %; 83,8 % – отримують задоволення від занять гімнастикою. Досить високий рівень спортивної мотивації відмічається в опитаних нами спортсменів, про що свідчить бажання стати олімпійським чемпіоном – 29,7 %, 16,2 % хочуть стати майстром спорту України зі спортивної гімнастики. Тому метою занять стає не лише отримання задоволення від процесу, а й досягнення високих результатів у спортивній гімнастиці, що ефективно позначиться на спортивній підготовленості гімнастів.

Ключові слова: мотив, гімнасти, підготовка, підготовленість.

A modified sorbent based on copolymer of maleic anhydride with methacrylic acid was proposed for sorption of vanadium (V) concentration. A polymer chelating sorbent with fragments of para-amino salicylic acid was used in the work. Optimal sorption conditions were determined and the dependence of sorption capacity on the acidity of the solution studied. At pH 5, the degree of sorption attains its maximum. The effect of ionic strength on vanadium sorption was studied. Studies have shown that the ionic strength up to 0.6 mol/l does not affect the sorption, after 0.6 mol/l the increase in the ionic strength at the beginning gradually, and then sharply decreases the sorption. The effect of ionic strength on vanadium sorption was studied to show that the ionic strength up to 0.6 mol/l does not affect the sorption, and after 0.6 mol/l the increase in the ionic strength at the beginning gradually, and then sharply decreases the sorption. All further experiments were carried out in the solutions with an ionic strength of 0.6. It was found that as the concentration of vanadium rises in the solution, the amount of sorbed metal increases, and at a concentration of 8.10-3 mol/l it becomes maximum (pH = 5, CV5+ = 8.10-3 mol/l, vtotal = 20 ml, msorb. = 0.03 g, SC = 243 mg/g). The isotherm of vanadium (V) sorption with the synthesized sorbent was constructed. Sorption equilibrium is achieved within 1 hour of contact between the solution and the sorbent. Further growth in the sorption time does not change sorbent’s characteristics. The sorbent extracts vanadium (V) from solutions with a recovery rate of 93%. The effect of different mineral acids (HClO4, H2SO4, HNO3, HCl) of identical concentrations on vanadium (V) desorption from the sorbent was also studied. The results of the analysis showed that the maximum desorption of vanadium (V) occurs in perchlorate acid. The developed method was applied to determine the trace amounts of vanadium in oil sludge with preliminary concentration.

The work deals with the reaction of ethanol conversion over chromium copper binary oxide catalysts. It showed that acetaldehyde is the main product of the ethanol conversion reaction. As the temperature rises, the direction of the ethanol conversion reaction shifts toward dehydration of ethanol into ethylene. Studies revealed that the atomic ratio of chromium to copper in the composition of the catalyst also has a strong effect on the activity of chromium-copper oxide catalysts. It established that samples with high chromium content in the composition of the catalyst display the greatest activity in the reaction of acetic aldehyde formation. So, on the sample Cr-Cu = 6-4, the yield of acetaldehyde reaches 82.5% with a selectivity of 97.6%. X-ray studies found that Cr-Cu-O catalysts consist mainly of initial oxides and in some samples indicate the chemical compound. X-ray studies showed that as the copper content decreases, the degree of crystallinity increases in the studied catalytic system. Comparison of the activity of Cr-Cu-O catalysts with their crystallinity degree revealed that the rise in crystallinity degree of chromium-copper oxide catalysts leads to the increase of acetic aldehyde yield and its selectivity in the ethanol conversion reaction.

Technologies that cause the least harm to nature from global warming standpoint are becoming called-for. In this regard, photo-catalysis which uses the solar energy for chemical transformations of substances is of great interest for studying possible mechanisms of such processes. At the same time, the use of photo-catalysis significantly expands capabilities of the synthesis of new organic and inorganic materials. Charge phototransfer is always at the heart of photochemical transformations. Such processes can be considered from the point of view of quantum mechanics, and the probability of various mechanisms of the passing processes can be calculated using the apparatus of Green's functions. Analytical expressions for kinetic parameters of the charge transfer process between polyatomic particles in non-regular condensed medium and expressions for the extinction coefficient for appropriate processes of charge photo-transfer are obtained. Based on the analysis of obtained analytical expressions of dark and optical charge transfer processes, correlations between kinetic parameters of these processes are obtained. A methodology for determining kinetic parameters of the charge photo-transfer process on the basis of the shape of light absorption curve by means of the system functioning as the frequency of absorbed photons in various systems is presented. In this respect the general methodology has been applied to various specific processes. A methodology for determining the kinetic parameters of the charge phototransfer process from the shape of the light absorption curve by the system as a function of the frequency of absorbed photons in various systems is presented.

Published: May 2021

У статті проаналізовано фактори, які здійснюють вагомий вплив на міграцію робочої сили. Розглянуто тенденції міграційного руху населення України за допомогою статистичних методів дослідження. Встановлено, що українська трудова міграція сьогодні становить близько 8 млн. осіб, проте офіційний дозвіл на роботу має лише 500 тис. громадян. Виявлено основні причини, які змушують українців виїжджати за кордон, серед яких: нерівність доходів населення; складність отримати необхідний рівень заробітної плати для утримання сім’ї; можливість кращого заробітку за кордоном; отримання належної якості освіти. Встановлено, що міграційні процеси за змістом, причинами та наслідками мають різні джерела походження та форми прояву, вивчаються в різних контекстах і на різних рівнях. Систематизовано динаміку показників вибуття українців за кордон. В роботі відображено показники кореляції ринку праці та трудової міграції, які розраховані за допомогою коефіцієнтів міграційного навантаження на тисячу осіб населення працездатного віку, ефективності міграції, напруженості на ринку праці. В даній статті на основі кореляційно-регресійного аналізу досліджено зв’язок між соціально-економічними факторами, які репрезентують міграційні фактори виштовхування. Встановлено, що під час пандемії COVID-19 велика кількість населення втратила роботу, зменшились надходження з-за кордону та ВВП країни. У статті було проведено аналіз ринку праці за чисельністю економічно активного населення, зайнятих та безробітних, середньообліковою кількістю штатних працівників, величиною середньомісячної заробітної плати. Відображені позитивні та негативні наслідки впливу міграції на економічний стан України. Висвітлено проблеми українського ринку праці, які впливають не тільки на кількість, якість робочої сили, продуктивність праці, а й роблять економіку України залежною від обсягу грошових переказів.

Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) slag containing larnite, gehlenite, wuestite, montcellite and calcite as the main crystal phases was alkali activated using the alkali activator prepared by the mixing of two solutions, sodium silicate and NaOH. Alkali Activated (AA) slag based on EAF slag is used as an adsorbent for Cu2+,Cd2+ and Zn2+ from aquatic solutions performing the batch adsorption test at the range temperature between 20 and 45 °C. AA slag sample is characterized by XRPD, FTIR and SEM/EDS analysis and the results indicate crystalline-amorphous structure of AA slag that contains Calcium Aluminate Silicate Hydrate (C-A-S-H) phase. Concentration of Cu2+, Cd2+ and Zn2+ in aqueous solution was determined using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). The results obtained indicate that, in a multicomponent system of three dissolved ions, AA slag shows highest affinity towards the Cu2+. The order of the metal ion adsorption onto AA slag was: Cu2+, Cd2+ and Zn2+. The highest adsorption of Cu2+ is attributed to the highest electronegativity and lowest hydrated ionic radii of cation in comparison to Cd2+ and Zn2+. Pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetics models, Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were applied in order to investigate the adsorption process. The results have shown that data better fitted the pseudo-second kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models The investigation of mechanism of adsorption indicate that both film diffusion and intra-particle diffusion have occurred during the adsorption process. The thermodynamics parameters of adsorption process indicate the spontaneous and endothermic character of heavy metals adsorption on the AA slag.
