Published: December 2023

The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the participation and role of the community in planning, implementing development, utilization, and monitoring of public green space. Data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that (1) In planning Public Open Space, the participation and role of the community is relatively passive so it needs to be motivated by the Cihideung Sub-district through the District MUSRENBANG; (2) Implementation of the development and rearrangement of Public Open Space requires a commitment between the Environmental Service and the community; (3) The benefits of public green open space are tangible and intangible. Public green open space in the four sub-districts of the Cihideung subdistrict is used by the community in a variety of ways according to local wisdom; and 4) Not yet having standard rules regarding the supervision of Public Open Space, the community provides input on the importance of zoning regulations and their designations. The implication of the study is that the role of the community is very important to ensure success in managing green open spaces. Therefore, at every stage of green open space management, from preparation to utilization and monitoring of open space, community participation is absolutely required.

GEORGES BERNANOS’ WRITING AS MODERNIST CODE OF FRANCOPHONIC METAMODERNISTIC SENSIBILITY
Authors: Pomyluiko-Nedashkivska Halyna
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the presence of an intertext between literary prose and political essay writing by a representative of the French Catholic literary revival of the first half of the 20th century. - Georges Bernanos - within the limits of modern intergenre French literature. The example is the collection of essays by the French-speaking writer Juan Asensio. However, the broader context of the reactualization of modernist writing in the contemprorary literary process is shown. The metamodernist sensibility of the 2000s is considered to be a result of the end of the dominance of the postmodernist discourse, its main theorists are investigated and the reasons for its appearance are shown. The dialogic character of metamodernism with the clue ideas of both modernism and postmodernism is noted, which is a middle way between modernist enthusiasm and postmodernist irony and skepticism, between hope and melancholy, between empathy and apathy, between truth and relativism, between totality and fragmentation, between experience and omniscience. Linguistic etymology and semantic plurality of the concept of “metamodernism” at the epistemological, ontological and historical levels are shown. The basic characteristics of the metamodernist worldview are named, such as: the return of metanarratives, belief in the truth, sincerity, empathy, the return ofhistory, the seriousness of religious experience, the search for the real, the importance of subjective experience. On the basis of these categories, the intertextual connection of the texts of Bernanos and Asensio is revealed according to four categories based on G. Genette’s narratology. It is about architextuality, thus citation at the genre level, narrative and poetic-stylistic closeness, explicit citation and allusions, and Bernanos’ meta-literary criticism provided in a comparative way. It is proved that the writing of Georges Bernanos became not only an intertext, but also a productive pretext of modern French literature, although the radical prophetism of the former was turned into a voice that just found the right to the truth and sincerity.

Published: December 2023

Background and Objectives: One of the factors affecting the time of using the prosthesis is the level of satisfaction of the amputee with the quality of the prosthesis. Choosing the right suspension system based on the functional needs and expectations of the amputee is a crucial step in the process of making the prosthesis and as a result, prosthetic rehabilitation. The critical side effects caused by “a weak suspension system” are pain and skin sores due to piston movement between the socket and stump and as a result, abnormal walking, reducing the amputee’s satisfaction and comfort. Methods: This study was conducted using a simple quasi-experimental method on six unilateral below-the-knee amputees. For each person, two prosthetic sockets were made with different suspension systems, one socket with a conventional pin-lock suspension system and the other socket with an innovative suspension system with a plunger cylinder. In this study, the level of satisfaction with the suspension system with a questionnaire and the amount of piston movement between the remaining limb and the prosthetic socket with the method of photography and the use of an indicator during 5 stages of a constant loading test, including full weight bearing, half weight bearing, no weight bearing, 30 N and 50 N were measured. Results: The photography method did not show a significant difference in the amount of piston movement between the socket and the stump. However, the satisfaction level of the participants with the pin-lock suspension system was higher than with the plunge cylinder. Conclusion: The use of a plunger-cylinder suspension system can be useful for below-the-knee amputations with a low activity level.

Published: December 2023

Relevance. The study of the effect of preparations containing amino acids on the accumulation of free amino acids in plants is relevant in assessing their regulatory and anti-stress effects.Methods. A laboratory experiment was carried out in 2020 on tomato plants of the Betta variety. Gray forest medium loamy soil was used as a substrate. The experiment was performed on soil with different salinity — a) control (the soil is not saline), b) saline soil (50 mmol/kg NaCl), c) saline soil (100 mmol/kg NaCl), using three feeding options: without top dressing, top dressing with “Sodium Glutamate”, top dressing with “Aminozol”. Amino acids were extracted from the roots and aboveground parts of plants in the vegetative growth phase with a mixture of “ethanol + chloroform + water” (12:5:2) and the method of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with pre-columnar derivatization of amino acids with phenylisothiocyanate was used. Results. Soil salinization with sodium chloride caused an increase in the amount of free amino acids in tomato seedlings. The total amino acid content increased to 849.8 µg/kg (50 mmol/kg NaCl) and 606.9 µg/kg (100 mmol/kg NaCl) compared to the control soil (385.3 µg/kg). Salinity contributed to the accumulation of serine (from 50.4 to 414.4 µg/kg) in seedlings. Treatment with preparations (“Monosodium glutamate” and “Aminozol”) affected the accumulation of a number of amino acids responsible for plant stress resistance. Supplementation with monosodium glutamate increased the total amino acid concentration to 1146.6 µg/kg (50 mmol/kg NaCl) and 1017.7 µg/kg (100 mmol/kg NaCl) compared to the corresponding variants without supplementation. At the same time, the content of glutamic (up to 188.3 and 425.1 µg/kg) and aspartic (up to 50.8 and 198.7 µg/kg) acids increased. “Aminosol” contributed to an increase in the amount of amino acids to 1834.2 µg/kg (50 mmol/kg NaCl) and 934.4 µg/kg (100 mmol/kg NaCl), respectively.
Microbiological factors for ensuring the safety of confectionery products of a foamy structure
Authors: Bazhenova A. E.
Published: December 2023

Marshmallows are a popular confectionery among consumers. There is a high interest in the need to develop and change production technologies. One of the ways to expand the range of marshmallows is the use of glaze, which gives the products a special taste and aroma, protects the products from harmful effects that cause damage to the product. During storage, products coated with glaze made using lauric-type cocoa butter substitutes are prone to lipolytic spoilage with the appearance of an unpleasant soapy taste. The conducted studies have confirmed that the layer at the phase boundary between the glaze and the marshmallow mass is a source of contamination by mold fungi due to favorable conditions for the growth of microorganisms. It is shown that as the temperature increases, the amount of CMAFAnM in glazed marshmallows decreases from 2.1 × 102 CFU/g to 80 CFU/g, and the amount of mold increases from 130 to 170 CFU/g. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of glazed whipped products, it is necessary to increase the requirements for the initial microbiological contamination of raw materials, storage conditions, and transportation. In addition, it is necessary to consider the possibility of introducing moisture-retaining components into the formulation to reduce the growth rate of microbiota in products.

Relevance. Assessing the meat production of beef cattle to be transformed by involving an ever-increasing phenotypic data to improve the accuracy of genotype estimation of animals. This can be achieved through the use of live weight changes for individuals and feed consumption during the period of their rearing in feedlots. In this regard, the use of automatic feeding stations that record these parameters for a comprehensive assessment of the genotype of Aberdeen-Angus bulls is an important task of these studies.

Methods. Information by 212 individuals was used for Aberdeen Angus bulls that underwent final fattening lasting 60–65 days at GrowSafe feeding stations in the Bryansk region (Russia). Data on the slaughter quality of animals, the efficiency of feed using and the chemical composition of meat were studied. The integral value for dividing bulls into four comparison groups was the residual feed intake trait (RFI).

Results. The best combination of feed conversion rates (4.95 kg/kg), average daily gain (1.67 kg /day) and consumed dry matter of the diet (8.25 kg) during the fattening period at the site was shown by bulls with a negative RFI value and an increase above 1495 g relative to other comparison groups. The peers from the second group had a similar tendency, but their consumption of dry matter of feed was the highest (8.96 kg). The animals from the second and fourth comparison groups showed a higher moisture-retaining capacity of meat (60.87% and 60.39%) and the total amount of water-soluble antioxidants (0.147 mg/g and 0.148 mg/g) in it. Significant differences in the chemical composition of meat have not been established.

Relevance. Providing the population of the country with high–quality food products of its own production is the main task facing the employees of the agro-industrial complex of the country. One of these products is milk. The bulk of milk is obtained from cows of the dairy productivity direction. Currently, in the Sverdlovsk region, more than 75% of the total number of cattle belongs to the Holstein breed, created by the absorption of domestic black-and-white cattle by the Holstein. The study of economically useful signs of dairy cattle of the Holstein breed is relevant and has practical significance.Methods. The research was carried out in breeding reproducers for breeding Holstein black-and-white cattle of the Sverdlovsk region. The evaluation included all cows that completed the first lactation in 2020-2021. Milk productivity was assessed by control milkings, milk quality indicators: MJ and MDB in milk in an average milk sample from each cow — once a month in the dairy laboratory of “Uralplemcenter” LLC.Results. As a result of the conducted studies, it was found that the highest productivity indicators in cows were on the 3rd lactation — both for the entire lactation and for 305 days of lactation. Starting from the 4th lactation, there is a decrease in milk yields — from 0.3% (5th lactation) to 8.5% (8th lactation). Further, fluctuations in milk yields have been established in the direction of increasing or decreasing, which is explained by a decrease in the number of animals used in farms for a long time. Coefficient of reproductive capacity for all lactation (up to and including the 12th) stable and is 0.89–0.91, that is, there is a problem with the reproduction of breeding reproducers in dairy cattle herds. No relationship between reproductive functions and milk yield of cows has been established.

Published: December 2023

The level of competitiveness of regions depends on the influence of a large number of factors, which can be external and internal, independent and interdependent, random and traditional, significant and insignificant, global and local, etc. Some factors can be predicted, while others are unpredictable. Thus, in managing the competitiveness of a region, it is extremely important to study the factors which, based on the results of analysis, minimize the negative impact of the external environment and use positive trends. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the use of attractors to ensure the competitive advantages of a region. The subject of the study is the factors that influence the competitiveness of the region. The object of research is the processes of strategic management of the region. Research methods: logical analysis, generalization, systematization. The article examines the problem of the impact of numerous factors on the development and level of competitiveness of regions, and outlines the factors influencing the competitiveness of a region by areas (economic, socio-cultural, environmental, political, administrative, scientific and technical, demographic, infrastructure, natural and geographical, etc.). It is noted that all factors have a complex effect and, under the influence of certain combinations of factors, a chain reaction and an enhanced synergistic effect may occur. Given that the same factors can have different effects under different conditions, it is important to form such subsystems of factors, such attractors that will "work" to improve the system. It is proposed to use attractors in the formation of competitive advantages of the region. It is proposed to understand attractors as a set of factors that affects other elements of the system, spreading its features/characteristics to them. Taking into account the attractors in the strategic management of the region will ensure the necessary level of their development and competitiveness. The results of this study can be used as a basis for further research on the specification of attractors for specific regions of Ukraine.

Owners’ Governance of Directors’ Mentoring Practices in Early Childhood Education and Care Centres in Norway
Authors: Lundestad Magritt
Published: December 2023

This chapter draws on data from semi-structured lifeworld interviews with seven directors in early childhood education and care centres (ECEC) in Norway with both public and private owners. The research questions for the study are: 1) What kind of role do owners have in directors’ mentoring of staff in ECEC centres in Norway? and 2) Does owners’ governance influence the quality of mentoring practices? Mentoring is understood as a learning process where the intention is that staff reflect individually and collectively on pedagogical practice. The study shows that directors believe owners see mentoring as important to ensure the quality of the pedagogical work, and that they expect directors to organise mentoring of staff. However, few owners have written guidelines or strategies beyond systems for mentoring of newly qualified early childhood teachers. Owners seem to govern more through support and dialogue than through authoritative rules. Owners also offer pedagogical capacity building at meetings for directors at owner level, in the form of mentoring in which the directors themselves participate. Directors are positive towards being given autonomy in mentoring for staff, but they ask for more financial resources and time to do mentoring.

When considering foliar fertilization, many questions arise about the differences between chelation, complexation, and their efficiency in supplying nutrients to plants. How efficiently are chelated and complexed nutrients absorbed by plants? Are chelates and complexes absorbed by plants? How do they perform in foliar and soil applications? Do they exhibit greater efficiency when compared to pure inorganic fertilizers? and, which ones are the best: soluble, sparingly soluble, or insoluble inorganic fertilizers? Although many people believe chelation and complexation are similar, some differences must be considered when choosing products to better supply plants with nutrients, avoid problems with tank mixtures, and enhance plant nutrition efficiency. The same is true for the vast variety of inorganic sources of fertilizers available for agriculture. They do not behave the same. For instance, inorganic water-soluble fertilizers such as nitrates, sulfates, and chlorides present different performances and should be chosen not only based on their nutrient concentration, availability, and price. All this information will assist farmers and technicians in better defining and selecting products to improve sustainability, efficiency, and achieve better results.
Preharvest Applications of Alginate, Salicylic Acid and Oxalic Acid Have a Synergistic Effect on Quality and Storability of Red Globe Grape Variety (Vitis vinifera L.)

This study aimed to evaluate the synergistic effect of preharvest spraying with alginate and in combination with salicylic acid (SA) and oxalic acid (OA), on the quality parameters and storage life of ‘Red Globe’ grape variety at 0-1°C with 85-90% relative humidity for 60 days. Data of physical and chemical quality parameters were taken at 15-day intervals. The results have shown that alginate coatings delayed changes in weight loss, firmness and berry color compared to control. Grapes coated alginate enriched with oxalic acid and salicylic acid proved to the most effective applications in restricting stem browning and decay incidence. Moreover, these formulations improved the content of phenolic compounds, contributing to the high antioxidant potential of coated grapes. These findings reveal that preharvest sprayed clusters with alginate combined with SA and OA applications may have high potential for improving storage quality of commercial grape.
Análisis de las medidas y políticas públicas adoptadas por Ecuador respecto a la violencia intrafamiliar contra la mujer en el contexto de confinamiento

Published: December 2023

INTRODUCCIÓN. La pandemia del COVID-19, que ha causado una profunda conmoción en nuestras economías y sociedades, ha subrayado la dependencia que la sociedad tiene de las mujeres, en específico en el hogar, al tiempo que ha puesto de manifiesto las desigualdades estructurales en todos los ámbitos, ya sea el económico, el sanitario, o la seguridad y la protección social. El presente estudio tiene como propósito evaluar las causas del aumento de la violencia intrafamiliar como consecuencia de la pandemia, lo que permite identificar algunas de las principales medidas que pueden incidir en la disminución de las actuales cifras de delitos de violencia intrafamiliar en Ecuador. OBJETIVO. El objetivo del presente ensayo es analizar las medidas y políticas adoptadas por Ecuador respecto a la violencia intrafamiliar contra las mujeres en el contexto de confinamiento y su impacto en la prevención y protección contra dichas conductas. MÉTODO. Para el desarrollo del presente trabajo se empleó el método de revisión bibliográfica con un enfoco cualitativo. DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSIONES. Partimos de la premisa, que responder a la pandemia no sólo requiere rectificar desigualdades históricas, sino también construir un mundo resiliente para el interés de todas las personas, con las mujeres como sujeto de recuperación, especialmente, porque las mujeres se encuentran aisladas con su agresor y limitadas en su capacidad para pedir ayuda.
LEARNING SKILLS ACQUIRED AT SCHOOL FOR STEM STUDIES AT THE UNIVERSITY
Authors: Birzina Rita , Cedere Dagnija , Kalnina Sandra
Published: December 2023

In order to acquire science, it is necessary to perform hands-on activities, make experiments and scientific inquiry with the obtained data, to be able to evaluate critically and understand the scientific concepts, as well as to collaborate and communicate. STEM learning promotes inquiring minds, logical reasoning, and communication and collaboration skills. Studying science at the university, students need both hard – cognitive and subject specific skills and soft – interpersonal and intrapersonal skills. The aim of the study was to clarify the appropriateness/usefulness of the learning skills acquired at school for STEM studies at the university. The study consisted of two parts: a systematic review of Web of Science and SCOPUS databases and surveys of 242 first-year science students of the University of Latvia about the learning skills acquired at school performed in 2018–2020. The qualitative data processing program AQUAD was used for processing data obtained from students’ survey. Data coding was performed according to the code system developed specifically for this purpose. The qualitative data was transferred into a quantitative format, based on relations between students’ statements, and linkages among codes were created. The study allowed concluding that cognitive, interpersonal and intrapersonal skills acquired at school are intrinsic learning skills during the first study year in higher education. There are no principal differences in the evaluation of hard and soft skills in the systematic review and students’ responses that proves the appropriateness/usefulness of the 21st-century learning skills acquired at school for science studies at the university.

CULTURAL BILINGUALISM AND LANGUAGES IN CONTACT IN TEXT PRODUCTION: EXPLAINING THE CASE OF PERMANENT INTERFERENCES IN WRITTEN BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE
Authors: Gomes Senna Luiz Antonio
Published: December 2023

A critical review of the nature of Education as a universal right in peripheral societies, based on the analysis of the social and cultural circumstances that permeate the learning experience of the written Portuguese language in Brazilian schools. The concept of cultural bilingualism is defended as necessary in facing the demand for subjectivation of the universal right to Education, supported by facts of written production among school subjects. It also justifies the overcoming of the classic concepts of bilingualism, listed exclusively from grammatical-functional aspects or issues of use that are restricted to linguistic facts. Situations of tension stand out in the contact between oral and written Portuguese of Brazil - symbolically considered the Brazilian national language - whose origin goes back to historical-cultural aspects that acted in the process of the implantation of the Portuguese Language in Brazilian territory. Derived from such aspects, there are situations of languages in contact that can only be properly explained by the concept of cultural bilingualism.

TASK DESIGN FOR TEACHING CARDIOID CURVE WITH DYNAMIC GEOMETRY SOFTWARE AND EDUCATIONAL ROBOTICS IN UNIVERSITY PRACTICE
Authors: Körei Attila , Szilágyi Szilvia , Vaičiulytė Ingrida
Published: December 2023

Considering Gen Z's learning needs, primarily focusing on bachelor IT students, a STEAM-based methodology was developed and tested for teaching and learning the principal properties of the cardioid curve. The four-component methodology is based on visuality and combines frontal teaching techniques with educational robotics, dynamic geometry software and project-based learning elements. Interactive learning materials were set up to support independent learning, including tasks which follow the guidelines of recent research on task design. Moreover, a cardioid drawing LEGO robot model was designed and built to visualise the generation process of the curve and to provide first-hand experiences for students. The participants involved in testing the methodology had to solve two homework problems using dynamic geometry software. An assessment system was set up to evaluate students' solutions. After a statistical analysis of the data obtained, it could be concluded that the four-component methodology is an effective didactic technique to facilitate the learning of the cardioid curve.

A design is called quasi-symmetric if it has only two block intersection numbers.
Using a method based on orbit matrices, we classify quasi-symmetric \(2\)-\((28,12,11)\)
designs with intersection numbers \(4\), \(6\), and an automorphism of order \(5\). There
are exactly \(31\,696\) such designs up to isomorphism.

Let \(G\) be a finite group. Denote by \(\psi(G)\) the sum
\(\psi(G)=\sum_{x\in G}|x|,\) where \(|x|\) denotes the order of the element \(x\), and
by \(o(G)\) the average element orders, i.e. the quotient \(o(G)=\frac{\psi(G)}{|G|}.\)
We prove that \(o(G) = o(A_5)\) if and only if \(G \simeq A_5\), where \(A_5\) is the alternating group of degree \(5\).
