Cost Optimization of Geopolymer Concrete Pavement
Authors: Sharma Kanishk , Patel Dolendra
Published: October 2022

Abstract: In this study, concrete was prepared by complete replacement of sand and partial replacement of cement by Fly-Ash using different admixtures like NaOH- Na2SiO3 solution, CaO- Na2SiO3 solution, CaO- Na2SiO3 gel and Micro Silica in order to evaluate the effects of these admixtures on properties of HVFA concrete. Solutions and Gel were prepared by mixing both materials in different ratios. It was noted down in mix proportions. The study included determination of compressive strength and flexural strength with (1) Variation in NaOH- Na2SiO3 solution (2) Variation in CaO- Na2SiO3 solution (3) Variation in CaO- Na2SiO3 gel (4) Variation Micro Silica percentages (5) Combination of above admixtures which gave better results. Durability tests like abrasion test and RCPT test were also conducted on HVFA concrete specimens. Test results indicated a decrease in compressive as well as flexural strength when admixture percentage increased. Use of NaOH- Na2SiO3 solution is not even useful in lower percentages. It shows lower compressive and flexural strength than strength of concrete when made without use of any admixture. It was also found out that CaO- Na2SiO3 solution imparted more compressive as well as flexural strength than CaO- Na2SiO3 gel. But increase in Na2SiO3 shows decreased compressive as well as flexural strength. However Micro Silica showed better result than other admixtures and combination of CaO- Na2SiO3 solution and Micro Silica gave higher compressive as well as flexural strength than individual admixture. Graphs showing the above variations are also plotted under this thesis document. After completion of the project it was concluded that HVFA concrete has adequate compressive and flexural strength. Apart from this the cost per cubic meter of HVFA concrete is comparable to that of the conventional concrete as cement was also partially replaced by Fly-Ash. So it can be used for the construction of non-reinforced elements. Further research needed for checking suitability of HVFA concrete for reinforced elements and paver material.
Analyzing the Effect of Bureaucratic Leadership on Public Service Motivation and Job Performance
Authors: Lesmana Dina , Rosadi Barkah , Hermana Deni , Liu Ran , Winarno Alex
Published: October 2022

Bureaucratic leadership in public institutions often gets a negative stigma due to a shift in understanding of bureaucracy in the public service system. This research aims to analyze the effect of bureaucratic leadership on public service motivation and job performance. A causal study through a questionnaire to employees at the sub-district level in Bandung randomly selected 245 employees. Data analysis using SEM procedure. The finding showed that bureaucratic leadership indicated by the encouragement of professionalism, distribution of power, coalitions, and leadership abilities in administrative matters could encourage motivation to provide services and ultimately improve service performance. Orientation to the public interest, self-sacrifice as a public servant, and interest in policy-making for the public interest as an indication of motivation to provide services mediate the influence of bureaucratic leadership on the performance of employees. Bureaucratic leadership influences employee performance either directly or through PSM. The theoretical implication is that the interaction between leaders and subordinates is a process of exchange and social learning for employees. The practical implication is the need to develop interactions between leaders and subordinates as a process of exchanging values and learning to improve employee motivation and performance.
Covid 19 Governance in Indonesia: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Malik Nazaruddin
Published: October 2022

This study aims to categorize the dominant concepts or themes in the study of governance in handling the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The dominant concept is categorized based on cluster grouping. This study uses a systematic literature review method by collecting various previous studies to find strategies and problems in managing the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The main data source used is articles from the Scopus database. This research reveals that previous studies on the governance of handling Covid-19 in Indonesia are related to four dominant concepts, namely regional government, economy, impact, and spread. The dominant concept of regional government is related to the role of regional governments in making and implementing policies for handling Covid-19 at the regional level. The dominant concept of the economy is related to the focus of handling Covid-19 which is directed at maintaining economic stability and development carried out through various forms of policies and program activities, both at the national and regional levels. The concept of impact is an effort by the Indonesian government to minimize the negative impact of the Covid-19 crisis on the economy and development. The spread is the Indonesian government's efforts to minimize the spread of Covid-19. The four dominant concepts are interrelated with each other, which confirms that the governance of handling Covid-19 in Indonesia is governance that prioritizes the role of the government, focuses on stability, economic growth, and handling the impact and spread of Covid-19.
Persuasão e emoções: fraudes ao consumidor na Black Friday Brasil
Authors: Soares Sarah Tuyani Araújo , Modesto João Gabriel
Published: October 2022

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a relação entre emoções e fraudes ao consumidor, tendo como base o Modelo de Probabilidade de Elaboração (ELM). Para isso, foi realizada análise de sentimentos, por meio do método de Processamento de Linguagem Natural (PLN), com dados do Twitter obtidos no dia do evento, e análise de conteúdo para compreender os fatores que englobam o evento e se empresas com reclamações nos relatórios do PROCON/SP e do site Reclame Aqui estavam relacionadas. Os dados evidenciam que a maioria dos sentimentos provenientes da Black Friday Brasil são negativos e estão relacionados à fraude ao consumidor. Também revelam que indivíduos que apresentaram baixo envolvimento com mensagens persuasivas, utilizaram as emoções como simples indicações, diferente de indivíduos que apresentaram alto envolvimento e que utilizaram as emoções como argumento no processo persuasivo para não serem vítimas de fraude.

Sobra monitoramento, falta avaliação: metas e estratégias de um plano estadual de educação
Authors: Ferri Cássia
Published: October 2022

Os planos nacional, estadual e municipais de educação ocuparam a agenda da área da educação entre 2009 e 2015. Este artigo propõe reflexões sobre o monitoramento e avaliação das metas e estratégias das políticas curriculares e avaliativas, que estão expressos nos dois relatórios de monitoramento, publicados respectivamente em maio de 2018 e agosto de 2020, do Plano Estadual de Educação de Santa Catarina 2015-2024 (PEE-SC) aprovado pela Lei nº 16.794, de 14 de dezembro de 2015. Trata-se de uma pesquisa com dados públicos e oficiais que receberam tratamento orientado pela análise documental, utilizando-se dados quantitativos para fornecer subsídios às análises qualitativas.  O descompasso evidente entre o volume de dados gerados pelo monitoramento e as tomadas de decisões advindas das avaliações destes dados possibilita afirmar que os planos estadual e nacional respondem mais as exigências formais do que orientam ações concretas.

On the Development of the Author’s Principle in Russian Historiography (On the Example of the Editor of the Historical Compilation of the First Half of the 18th Century)
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Lobakova Irina A.
Published: October 2022

Ideas about the genre boundaries of materials that have received the definition of “ego-documents” have already developed by now. However, it seems to be necessary to take into account that since the 17th century appear chronicle collections and historical compilations, in which both the selection of sources, their volume, and editorial processing (or lack of it) testify to the manifestation of a personal view of the events of the past. With the onset of Petrovsky time, this tradition was not interrupted. The article attempts to show on the material of the handwritten historical code of the first half of the 18th century what means could be used by the compiler, editor or scribe to express their own attitude to the past. An analysis of the corpus of news about the reign of Ivan the Terrible in this monument made it possible to discover that they not only left comments in the margins, but additions were made to the text of the source, and evaluative characteristics of the characters and their actions were added. The return to the topics that worried the compiler of the editor or scribe led to chronological “breaks” that violated the traditional composition of the historical code. All these techniques made it possible to fully manifest the personal principle in the monument of late chronicle writing, which gives grounds for considering it in a number of ego-documents.
The Manuscript of the Memoirs of the Decembrist S. P. Trubetskoy from the Collection of Professor I. A. Shlyapkin: Attribution, Dating, Comparison with Other Editions
Authors:   St. Petersburg Institute of History of Russian Academy of Sciences, Ilyin Pavel V.
Published: October 2022

The memoirs of S. P. Trubetskoy, discovered in the collection of professor I. A. Shlyapkin, are a complete memoir essay devoted to the events of the reign of Alexander I and the interregnum of 1825 and only briefly touching on the period of investigation, trial and exile, that followed the Decembrist uprising. Information about the authorship was lost and was no longer available to the founder of the collection I. A. Shlyapkin. The attribution required special research procedures and handwriting expertise. The manuscript differs significantly from the previously known editions of S. P. Trubetskoy’s memoirs in its structure and, to a large extent, in content. The textual analysis, as well as the study of the chronological indications available in the document, lead to the conclusion about the early origin of the memoir essay, at the same time the manuscript contains signs that it was based on the original version of the memoirs. A comparison of the text of the discovered manuscript and the previously known memoirs of S. P. Trubetskoy, which are a complex of different-time and unfinished manuscripts, shows the complexity of creating the text of the memoirs of this Decembrist.
Apollon Grigoriev in the Evaluations of Vasily Spiridonov (To the 200th Anniversary of the Birth of A. A. Grigoriev and the 70th Anniversary of the Death of V. S. Spiridonov)
Authors:   Kostroma State University, Yedoshina Irina A.
Published: October 2022

The article systematically descirbes the ideas of the historian of Russian literature Vasily Spiridonov about the work of Apollon Grigoriev for the first time. The name of this researcher is almost forgotten by those who study works by Ap. Grigoriev and A. N. Ostrovsky, with whom he was well acquainted and about whose work Apollon Grigoriev repeatedly wrote. The author of the article identified and presented the entire bibliographic list of works written by Spiridonov about Grigoriev and analyzes three most important works. The researcher highly appreciates his talent as a critic, differs articles by a perspective, reveals dynamics of his ideas of art. The article emphasizes that Spiridonov himself had a brilliant command of the word, kept a distance between his ideas about the critical works of Grigoriev and the author. This correct position allowed Spiridonov to disclose adequately specifics of critiques of the Grigoriev, to add them to a historical and cultural context of not only his time. As a result it is specified that Spiridonov’s works didn’t lose the relevance, have novelty, originality of approaches in understanding of creativity of the Grigoriev as a critic.
Memoirs of V. A. Sollogub about the Prehistory of A. S. Pushkin’s Duel
Authors:   St. Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Safonov Mikhail M.
Published: October 2022

V. A. Sollogub’s memoirs about the failed November duel of A. S. Pushkin are valuable as a very accurate source for the history of the last years of the poet’s life. Scholars use them to recreate specific events of November 1836 and to study the psychological state of the poet on the eve of his death. There are several editions of Sologub’s memories. In an effort to recreate the most complete and specific picture of the events preceding Pushkin’s death, scholars join various fragments of various editions of memoirs to a single whole, without taking into account that they are not only not consistent with each other, but in some cases directly contradict each other. The author of the article compared the various editions of Sologub’s memoirs and came to an important conclusion that the author of the memoirs without sufficient reason, he ascribed to himself the role of Pushkin’s savior.
L. N. Tolstoy and A. T. Tvardovsky. On the Way to Epic
Authors: Ermolaeva Nina L.
Published: October 2022

The article reveals the affinity of the world outlook, values and the ways of formation of the epic thinking of L. N. Tolstoi and A. T. Tvardovsky in their pre-epic sketches “Sevastopol Sketches” and “From Karelian Isthmus (The Front-line Notebook).” These works present their authors as the chroniclers of the on-going historical events, depicting their tragic character by different means of artistic expression. Both Tolstoi and Tvardovsky find the ways of depicting the epic image of the war fraternal community in the genre of a sketch. In their poly-character sketches, the writers use the ways of psychological analysis typical to their future epic: “dialectics of soul” of Tolstoi and the “folk” psychological characteristics of Tvardovsky. The epic thinking of the writers means the use of the poetic images, traditional to the folk culture as well as the mythological images that they treat in different way. The author of the article is assured that the formation of the epic thinking of Tolstoi and Tvardovsky, “truth of the explicit live witness” in “War and Peace” and “A Book about a Soldier” became possible due to the closeness of the writers with the folk masses as well as acquiring the folk view on the war and peace: in Sevastopol for the former and in the snows of Finland for the latter.
Gogol’s Notes after the Premiere of “The Government Inspector” in 1836 and the Concept of “the First Edition of a Dramatic Text” (To the Text History of the “Leaving the Theater”)
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Paderina Ekaterina G.
Published: October 2022

The article is devoted to the initial stage of the text history of the “Leaving the Theater”. Gogol made his first notes for the future play in the period between the premiere of “The Government Inspector”, which took place on April 19, 1836, and his departure abroad in early days of June of the same year. These notes were first published by N.S. Tikhonravov in 1889. In the textual description Tikhonravov emphasized the fragmentary nature of the drafts, the signs of inconsistency to the dramatic genre, and only partial use of drafts by the author in the preparation of the completed play of 1842. In the Soviet academic edition (1949) N.I. Mordovchenko set a hypothesis about a full-fledged play roughly sketched by Gogol that spring, which should be considered as the “first edition” of the “Leaving the Theater”. This point of view has become traditional. But a textual study of the notes during the preparation of the latest academic edition of the Complete Works of Gogol in 23 vols. (IWL RAS) confirms the point of Tikhonravov. The article provides a detailed analysis of the reasons of both textologists and presents additional arguments for the concept of Tikhonravov. The author of the article pays special attention to the generic and genre characteristics of the drafts and the concept of “edition of a dramatic text”.
COVID-19 effects on the going concern audit opinion in MENA region: Text mining approach
Authors: Feghali Khalil , Hallak Joe , Moussa Samir
Published: October 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economic sector, especially the audit task that requires the physical intervention of the auditor. The aim of this paper is to study the effect of COVID-19 on audit opinion in the MENA region through a novel text mining approach. The collected data included 83 bank reports from 377 branches in 14 MENA countries. The text mining approach was employed using Python software via corpus creation, tokenization, stop words removal, stemming, and feature selection. Afterwards, a univariate analysis was performed to delineate the variables that are significantly associated with COVID-19, followed by a linear regression model quantifying the relationship of the variables. The results of the text mining process led to the creation of a dictionary composed of 8000 words. After the text mining steps, 10 variables were obtained. The univariate analysis showed that 3 out of 10 extracted variables were associated with COVID-19 and a linear regression equation was accordingly generated. Our research revealed that, in the MENA region, the COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in the audit workload and risk assessment, yielding an overall unfavorable audit opinion. Finally, the authors used similar techniques to the research of Wei, Li, Zhu, and Li (2019) and Boskou, Kirkos, and Spathis (2018).

Este libro, pone al alcance del lector un archivo de los documentos más importantes de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira. Es el primer producto de consulta inmediata de los testimonios y escritos fundacionales y de desarrollo administrativo de los quince programas que hoy conforman una de las facultades más dinámicas de la universidad. No fue fácil la disposición y selección de centenares de documentos, muchos de ellos producidos de manera simultánea, pero subordinados a la aparición de los programas que, iniciando con Medicina en 1977, conformarían lo que más tarde sería la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud. Cabe resaltar el trabajo interdisciplinario de los autores, que los llevó a buscar apoyo en profesionales de disciplinas como la Historia, la Antropología y la Filosofía. Esto posibilitó una apertura a un modo de reflexión científico-social que, como el histórico, resulta tan diferente pero tan necesario, del acostumbrado al interior de las ciencias de la salud. No deja de ser relevante que siendo la mayoría de los autores de este libro, médicos, se hayan involucrado tan juiciosamente en las sutilezas de la investigación histórica y en el tratamiento de estos “archivos no intencionales”, es decir, los creados con objetivos específicamente institucionales, según la definición del historiador Renzo Ramírez, citado en la Introducción.
Fuzzy transform for fractional fuzzy differential equations
Authors: Pham Thi Minh Tam , Perfilieva Irina
Published: October 2022

In this research, we apply a very powerful and relatively simple
technique called Fuzzy ( F) transform to solve fractional fuzzy
problem with respect to fuzzy valued functions. This approach allows to
transform a fractional fuzzy differential equations to the system of
algebraic equations. A solution to this algebraic system gives the
appropriate parameters of the inverse F-transform. Hence, we can
estimate the approximate solution of the original problem.

Ascyrus Medical Dissection Stent In the treatment of acute type A Aortic dissection. A First-Hand Experience
Authors: Kanj Mouhammad , Cosset Benoit , Oliny Alexandre , Farhat Fadi
Published: October 2022

Background: Acute type A aortic dissection is associated with a
significant perioperative morbidity and mortality. Ascyrus Medical
Dissection Stent (AMDS) is a novel bare stent graft developed to be used
as an adjunct to standard surgical approach to promote true lumen
expansion and therefor enhance aortic remodeling. Patients and
Methods: From March 2021 to March 2022, four consecutive patients who
presented with acute Debakey type I aortic dissection underwent emergent
surgical repair with an inclusion (David) procedure and implantation of
an AMDS. We analysed patient’s files prospectively and described the
perioperative outcomes. Results: All four device implantations
were successful. Overall 30-day mortality was 0 %. Malperfusion that
was present in two patients pre-operatively improved after AMDS
implantation. At follow up, no aortic reinterventions were needed. No
aortic injury related to the device was noted. Favourable changes in
aortic true lumen and false lumen dimensions were found in most of our
patients but the AMDS was compressed at the isthmus in one patient.
Conclusion: AMDS is a reliable and secure device. However, its
benefits remain unclear when it comes to a positive remodeling and seems
less likelihood comparable to a frozen elephant trunk. The main reason
seems to be an insufficient radial force of the AMDS.

Published: October 2022

ORCiD: [https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0655-2343] Increasing
weather variability is affecting the overall productivity of
agriculture. In this scenario, current crop improvement science is
essential to improve productivity while retaining the quality of plant
products. There has long been an interest in using process-based
modeling to examine the interaction between environment and genotype.
The methodological challenges to better predict how various
environmental conditions may impact novel genotypes and it has been a
fundamental barrier to model parameterization. Thus, a phenotypic
campaign was conducted to collect a comprehensive physiological dataset
from a panel of 25 genotypes (including both breeder panel and diversity
panel) in the summer of 2022. Additionally, an unmanned aerial vehicle
(UAV) was used to gather remote sensing data. The red-green-blue (RGB)
3D point cloud, NDVI (Normalize difference vegetation Indices), and
LIDAR (Light detection and ranging) were also used to identify the trait
variations among the genotypes. The data is being analyzed to explain
the physiological and phenotypic trait differences. The outcome of this
project would help to develop a genetically informed, realistic soybean
model. Finally, it will help breeders and growers in locating
high-yielding cultivars for the appropriate geographical areas.

Authors: Gao LiJuan , ZhongMei * , Shang Xuan , Yang RuiRui , Yan Min , Cao Ji-Min
Published: October 2022

COVID-19 can lead to heart failure (HF) and even cardiac death. The
2’,5’-oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS) gene family is associated with the
antiviral immune responses of COVID-19. While the potential association
of OAS family with cardiac injury and failure in COVID-19 has not been
determined. Hence, in our study, the expression levels and biological
functions of OAS gene family in SARS-CoV-2 infected cardiomyocytes
dataset (GSE150392) and HF dataset (GSE120852) were determined by
comprehensive bioinformatic analysis and experimental validation. miRNAs
targeting OAS gene family were explored from Targetscan and HF miRNA
database. The potential OAS gene family-regulatory chemicals or
ingredients were predicted using Comparative Toxicogenomics Database
(CTD) and SymMap database. Results showed that OAS genes were highly
expressed in both SARS-CoV-2 infected cardiomyocytes and failing hearts.
The differentially expression genes (DEGs) in two datasets were enriched
in cardiovascular disease and COVID-19 related pathways, respectively.
The miRNAs-target analysis indicated that 10 miRNAs increase OAS genes
expression. A variety of chemicals or ingredients were predicted
regulating the expression of OAS gene family, especially estradiol. In
conclusion, OAS gene family is an important mediator of HF in COVID-19
and may serve as a potential therapeutic target for cardiac injury and
HF in COVID-19.
The need to decipher plant drought stress along the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum
Authors: Schweiger Andreas , Zimmermann Telse , Poll Christian , Marhan Sven , Leyrer Vincent , Berauer Bernd
Published: October 2022

Lacking comparability among rainfall manipulation studies is still a
major limiting factor for generalizations in ecological climate change
impact research. A common framework for studying ecological drought
effects is urgently needed to foster advances in ecological
understanding the effects of drought. In this synthesis, we argue, that
the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, describing the flow of water from
the soil through the plant to the atmosphere, can serve as a holistic
concept of drought in rainfall manipulation experiments which allows for
the reconciliation experimental drought ecology. Using experimental
data, we show that investigations of leaf water potential in combination
with edaphic and atmospheric drought – as the three main components of
the soil-plant-atmosphere-continuum – are key to understand the effect
of drought stress on plants. Based on a systematic literature survey, we
show that especially plant and atmospheric based drought quantifications
are strongly underrepresented and integrative assessments of all three
components are almost absent in current experimental literature. Based
on our observations we argue, that studying dynamics of plant water
status in the framework of the soil-plant-atmosphere-continuum can
foster comparability of different studies conducted in different
ecosystems and with different plant species and can facilitate
extrapolation to other systems, species or future climates.
Mechanical properties of lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) concrete
Authors: ISSA Atheer S. , Al-ASADI Ali K.
Published: October 2022

The construction activities are based on structural concrete, which is one of the most commonly used materials. The fundamental aim of using lightweight concrete (LWC) was to reduce the concrete self-weight of the structure parts. As a result, LWC has been used successfully in a variety of installations for several years. In this paper, the mechanical properties of concrete made with lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) as a full replacement for coarse aggregate are studied. The experimental program shows that LECA with a 32 MPa cube compressive strength and an 1,823 kg×m–3 dry density can be used to make structural light-weight aggregate concrete (SLWC). The results show that the reduction in the strength of lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) was found to be higher in the concrete with an estimated compressive strength of 32 MPa due to the lower strength of the LWA (expanded clay). According to the test results, the mechanical properties of LWC were greatly improved by adding silica fume (SF). Furthermore, LECA concrete has a splitting tensile strength that is 47% higher than the ASTM C330/C330M-17A minimum requirement. The LECA concrete has a splitting tensile strength to compressive strength ratio of approximately 13%. Additionally, the results demonstrate a 27% difference in the modulus of elasticity between the calculated and tested values.

Published: October 2022

This study simulates and assesses the hydraulic features and residual chlorine in Al-Najaf city’s water supply network using WaterGEMS. Field and laboratory work was done to determine pressure heads, velocities, and chlorine residual. Constructed model was validated using field data. Values of RMSE were between 0.08 and 0.1, and 0.05 and 0.06 for pressure and residual chlorine, respectively. The examination of water distribution system (WDS) during peak demand hours indicated that the pump unit’s capacity could not meet the high-water demand, resulting pressure loss with values between 0.1 and 2 bar. Simulated residual chlorine levels ranged between 0.45 and 0.8 ppm.

Using a specially designed evaluation card-questionnaire, an expert opinion was obtained from 36 profile specialists (doctors and nurses) from geriatric departments (offices) on the state and problems of providing geriatric care to the population. RESULTS: It was found that 36.1% of respondents are not satisfied with the material and technical base of their medical organization, 33.3% rather no than yes, only 30.6% of respondents gave a positive answer. The shortage of gerontological equipment was most often noted, especially of equipment for the rehabilitation and safety of the elderly and senile. According to 55.6% of geriatric specialists who took part in the survey, it is necessary to rework and expand the existing standards for the provision of geriatric care. The expediency of holding a school for elderly and senile patients on an outpatient basis was reported by 51.6% of respondents, 48.4% of respondents believed that this should be done in a hospital. Geriatric specialists were found not to be actively involved in continuing professional education. CONCLUSION: Thus, the development of proposals for improving the organization, increasing the efficiency and accessibility of geriatric care to the urban and rural population of Mongolia is of great medical and social importance.

The empirical study data of the relationship between self-regulation and personal spiritual and moral qualities in the adult sample are presented. The study emphasizes the importance of studying personal spiritual and moral qualities in the process of self-regulation. The purpose is to analyze the relationship between spiritual and moral qualities of a person and different aspects of self-regulation: cognitive, affective, behavioral. Based on the data of the correlation analysis, significant connections of indicators are identified. The real capabilities of a person to initiate consciously and manage voluntary activity are associated with the indicator of spiritual personality, which confirms the hypothesis of the study regarding the cognitive aspect of self-regulation. The study reflects that most indicators of the cognitive aspect of self-regulation correlate with indicators of spiritual and moral qualities of a person positively. There is also a connection with the affective aspect of self-regulation: the repression of external emotions is inversely correlated to the ability for fantasizing and taking care for other people. The ability to withstand is inversely correlated to the feeling of one's own discomfort during interpersonal interaction. A change in attitude to the situation is associated with the rejection of an egoistic position. The repression of the external manifestations of the emotions is inversely correlated to the spirituality of the personality and its individual qualities. The study shows that the spiritual and moral personality manifests itself as capable of self-control; connections are established with the behavioral aspect of self-regulation. The results of the study indicate the association between self-regulatory abilities and spiritual and moral qualities of a person and encourage further research focused on the consideration of spiritual aspects of self-regulation in more numerous and homogeneous by gender samples, differing in occupation, age, etc.

The article presents the analysis of changes in the understanding of professional preferences of Ryazan State Medical university students of different courses of the Faculty of Pharmacy, who are at the preparatory stages of professional personality formation. In this regard, students evaluated the content, forms and methods of a special discipline taught — pharmacognosy, using a questionnaire developed at the Department of Pharmacognosy. 152 students of the 2nd, the 3rd and the 5th year who were trained at the Department of Pharmacognosy in the 2020/2021 and 2017/2018 academic years took part in the survey. Students consider the role of pharmacognosy in the preparation of a pharmacist to be very significant and highly appreciate the importance of the discipline in the professional training of a specialist with a higher pharmaceutical education. However, students' understanding of the role of pharmacognosy and the significance of various methods and techniques of its development varies from course to course. The 5th year students, on the eve of graduation, give extremely positive feedback about the role of pharmacognosy in the preparation of a pharmacist and the most detailed answers showing the interrelation of the discipline with the practice of pharmaceutical work. They highly appreciate both traditional and active teaching methods. The students' answers to questions about the preferable place of work after graduating from the Faculty of Pharmacy revealed a tendency to structural changes in their professional preferences. So, the majority of students of previous years (more than 50%) were going to work at pharmacies, a little more than 14% — in pharmaceutical industry, 4.7% plan to be engaged in scientific and teaching work at the university. In comparison, among the students of the last academic year, more than 29% would like to work in pharmaceutical industry, more than 27% — at pharmacy, more than 16% — at the university. In this regard, the process of teaching and learning, including the discipline of pharmacognosy, which provides a significant amount of basic training, should respond quickly and flexibly to the changing labor market, providing students with modern updated knowledge and in-demand skills and competencies, including in research activities, with the use of science-oriented forms and methods of teaching, related to pharmaceutical production.

Education is an effective way to increase the quality of human resources; as a guide for implementing national education, curriculum is one of the most essential variables that can influence the learning process' performance. Graduate competency is one of the educational criteria, and it may be attained by employing the appropriate learning model in the teaching and learning process. One of the inquiry learning models is the most often utilized learning paradigm. The goal of this study is to determine the amount of the effect size of the inquiry model's influence on high school and junior high school physics results. A meta-analysis was used in this study.. Meta-analysis is a type of study that involves summarizing, examining, and analyzing data from a number of previous studies. Conducting a literature review, gathering data, examining, assessing, analyzing, and interpreting articles, and preparing report results are all stages of meta-analysis research. The statistical data must be included in the criteria for the articles used. There are two research findings that may be deduced from the data analysis results. First, as can be seen from the summary effect size values for high school 0.42 and junior high school 0.41, the influence of the inquiry learning model on learning outcomes is stronger at the high school level than at the junior high school level.

Education in the twenty-first century is significant because it is intended to improve the quality of human resources. Curriculum becomes an expectation in this situation, and it is poured into the shape of instructional plans or programs implemented by educators in schools. A number of factors contribute to low student learning results in Physics classes, one of which is the curriculum. Learning objectives are less likely to be met when a curriculum is dense. A curriculum analysis can be used to discover the best answer to this situation. The goal of this research was to examine the high school curriculum in order to create physics learning games that included scientific literacy.This was a descriptive research project utilizing a qualitative approach. The participants in this study were all students from Padang high schools. The Stratified Random Sampling Technique was applied also as sampling technique. The sample was chosen based on school accreditation and the Physics UN Score for the 2018/2019 academic year at Padang City High School. In this study, the sample comprised of five institutions: three public high schools and two private high schools. The investigation was conducted by reviewing RPP Physics Class X MIPA SMA records from semesters 1 and 2.Measurement, Vector, Straight Motion, Parabolic Motion, Circular Motion, Newton's Laws, Law of Gravity, Work and Energy, Momentum and Impulse, and Simple Harmonic Vibration make up the current percentage of lesson plans from three high schools. Simple Harmonic Vibration Material has the highest average RPP %, whereas Straight Motion Material has the lowest average RPP percentage. Because the study of RPP papers yielded a low proportion, it can be determined that the Straight Motion Material is a learning game media.
