Continuing Social Constraints in Education Agency: The School Choices and Experiences of Middle- Class African American Families in Albany, NY
Authors: Knudson Paul
Published: February 2021

This paper explores the experiences of middle-class African American parents who have enrolled their children in a central-city public school district and the factors that inform and contribute to their school enrollment decisions. Data come from nineteen in-depth interviews with middle-class African American parents in Albany, New York. The paper uses the conceptual framework of empowerment and agency to explore and analyze the findings. Findings suggest that middle-class African American parents possess some measure of empowerment based on their human capital and positive childhood experiences in public schools. The latter denotes the salience of emotions in intergenerational education transmission. Parents’ empowerment, however, does not fully extend to agency. Most parents’ school choices have been structured and narrowed by racial segregation in residence and by the real and perceived racial exclusion in private school settings. Therefore, even for highly-educated, middle-income African Americans, anxieties over racial exclusion act as a strong social constraint on parents’ community and school choices.
Illuminating Existential Meaning: A New Approach in the Study of Retirement
Authors: Bengtsson Mattias , Flisbäck Marita
Published: February 2021

Current discussions on the importance of retirement are largely built on statistical analyses of longitudinal data showing that well-being seldom changes from before to after entering retirement, but is rather mainly dependent on the individual’s social resource position. In contrast, qualitatively oriented researchers underline that the retirement process is a complex life transition that needs to be further illuminated. To do this, however, we need to advance new theoretical and methodological perspectives. In this article, an existential sociology approach is outlined, emphasizing the multifaceted spectra of lived experiences and meaning-making in the retirement process. The phenomenological approaches of existential sociology allow us to consider how the exit from working life is created in the processes of motion rather than as expressions of static positions. A merit of this approach is that retirement as an empirical case may say something general about being in transition as a basic social condition. In the article, we discuss how a socio-biographical methodology, based on longitudinal qualitative interviews, helps us capture how existential meaning is formed and reformed in the ambiguous situations which arise in similar life-course transitions. Theoretically, we especially draw on concepts from the existential anthropologist Jackson and the phenomenological tradition of existential philosophers such as Arendt and Heidegger.
Paradoxes of Doctoral Studies in Education Sciences in the Czech Republic
Authors: Dopita Miroslav , Poláchová Vašťatková Jana
Published: February 2021

Adequate staffing of university studies with qualified academics was completed thanks to the reimplementation of three-stage university education during the post-socialist restoration of higher education in the Czech Republic. Thus, the doctoral degree of education has been attained by more than four-fifths of academic staff, with over two-fifths of them being aged 50+. The current course of university studies, including doctoral study programs, is influenced by their focus on educational and research strategy. With regards to the regulations for graduating in doctoral studies, doctoral candidates act as homo oeconomicus following neo-liberal educational policy. The conditions for doctoral studies, namely, those in educational sciences, thus lead to paradoxes caused by the current higher educational policy. The objective of the paper is to analyze the neoliberal set-up of the higher education policy of the Czech Republic in the field of doctoral studies in educational sciences in particular and its possible impacts in the area of labor-market integration of graduates and university training of academics.

Authors: Velásquez Gutiérrez Andrés A.
Published: February 2021

En esta investigación, partiendo de un conjunto de datos sobre sismos que han impactado la ciudad de Cumaná, Venezuela, se realiza un modelaje probabilístico para determinar las zonas sismogénicas que afectan a esta urbe. Se utiliza la estadística de valores extremos para estudiar series de datos que exceden cierto umbral. Estas series están contenidas en un catálogo tomado de una investigación previa derivado de los registros instrumentales del Centro de Sismología de la Universidad de Oriente, de la Fundación Venezolana de Investigaciones Científicas (FUNVISIS), del National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) y del United States Geological Survey (USGS). Se dividieron los datos según su profundidad focal; luego utilizando la densidad sísmica, la geología y la ocurrencia de sismos históricos se identificaron las zonas sismogénicas y utilizando la ley de recurrencia de Gutenberg-Ritcher se estiman los parámetros necesarios para obtener las funciones de densidad y de distribución de probabilidad asociadas.
Educación costarricense: relación entre los programas de Matemáticas y la política curricular
Authors: Zumbado-Castro Marianela
Published: February 2021

El artículo tiene como objetivo evidenciar la relación existente entre la metodología propuesta en los programas de Matemáticas y las dimensiones de la política curricular que están vigentes en Costa Rica. Para lograr este objetivo se plantean tres secciones. La primera consiste en un acercamiento a la estrategia metodológica planteada en los programas de matemáticas aprobados por el Consejo Superior de Educación (CSE) en el año 2012, incluyendo un ejemplo práctico de la primera etapa denominada “El aprendizaje del conocimiento”. En segundo lugar, se presenta una descripción de las dimensiones de la política curricular aprobada por el CSE en el año 2016 y, finalmente, la tercera sección muestra como se relacionan los programas de Matemáticas con tales dimensiones. Como parte de las consideraciones finales, se sugiere la importancia de que el docente comprenda cómo se relacionan la propuesta metodológica vigente para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de las Matemáticas con las dimensiones de la política curricular, para potenciar, a través de los momentos de la clase, el logro de las expectativas del sistema educativo.
Enseñanza y aprendizaje de la matemática para informática empleando documentos con un formato computable (CDFs): una percepción docente en la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica
Authors: Vílchez Quesada Enrique , Ávila Herrera Juan Félix
Published: February 2021

La matemática básica entendida como un compendio de contenidos desarrollados en la educación secundaria, constituye un área de relevancia en la formación de cualquier futuro ingeniero. Esto es debido a que provee un andamiaje cognitivo necesario como un medio instrumental en materias vinculadas con carreras de ingeniería y particularmente, las de informática y ciencias de la computación. En el contexto de la carrera de Ingeniería en Sistemas de Información de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica (UNA), el rendimiento académico mostrado por la población estudiantil a este nivel devela importantes carencias conceptuales y algorítmicas. Ante este panorama, los autores del presente trabajo diseñaron ciento treinta aplicaciones para el estudio de: la lógica formal, la teoría de conjuntos, la teoría de funciones, los tópicos de inducción y progresiones, y la teoría de números. Se ha partido de la premisa de considerar la visualización matemática como un medio que facilita el tránsito de una percepción intuitiva al análisis, además de propiciar la comprensión conceptual y la construcción de conjeturas. El objetivo principal de este estudio residió en medir sobre un grupo de docentes de la Escuela de Matemática de la UNA, sus reacciones de significado y rescatar sus opiniones abiertas en cuanto a las ventajas, desventajas y oportunidades reales de uso sobre las aplicaciones CDFs diseñadas, como un recurso didáctico específicamente en la cátedra MAT030 Matemática para Informática que forma parte del currículo de la carrera Ingeniería en Sistemas de Información de esta institución de enseñanza superior. Las aplicaciones se programaron en el año 2019 en lenguaje Wolfram siendo publicadas en un formato de uso libre denominado CDF (Computable Document Format). Los resultados obtenidos con un enfoque cualitativo y cuantitativo se han centrado en rescatar las fortalezas, debilidades y recomendaciones sobre los CDFs creados para la cátedra MAT030.

The purpose of this study was to examine adherence to COVID-19 nonpharmaceutical interventions within the context of same-sex households. Same-sex households within City of Saint Louis census-tracts were identified using U.S. Census Bureau data. Secondary smart-device GPS data was used to ascertain community-mobility during shelter-in-place orders. Among 305 census-tracts, 35 were identified as having ≥25% report being same-sex households. These 35 tracts had significantly more residents leaving home for work during shelter-in-place. Sexual minorities may be at higher risk for COVID-19 by living in communities where residents are required to leave for work more often.
Development and Initial Evaluation of the LGBTQ+ COVID-19 Concerns Scale
Authors: Balsam Kimberly F. , Matsuno Em , Friedman Ariel , Rana Vinisha
Published: February 2021

COVID-19 has had negative health and economic impacts on the U.S. population and on marginalized groups in particular. While policy and review papers have noted the unique concerns of LGBTQ+ individuals during the pandemic, these statements have drawn largely from existing data on health and economic disparities, rather than data collected during COVID-19. Research on the unique concerns and experiences of LGBTQ+ people during this time is urgent and yet no culturally relevant, validated measures have been developed to empirically examine these concerns. The current study reports on the development and exploratory factor analysis of a new measure, the LGBTQ+ COVID-19 Concerns Scale (LGBTQ+-CCS). Data was collected online in April 2020 from a sample of 429 LGBTQ+ adults in the United States. The final 15-item scale demonstrated initial validity and reliability and contains four subscales: mental health concerns, financial concerns, health and discrimination concerns, and social isolation concerns. The LGBTQ+-CCS can be used in research and clinical work to measure how concerns related to the pandemic are related to mental and physical health and to examine differences between LGBTQ+ subpopulations and LGBTQ+ people over time. Future research should focus on further validating the measure through confirmatory factor analysis.

Published: February 2021

Background: A caring environment in nursing education is one of the most essential factors for empowering students, which is achieved through trust and open academic communication.Aim: To explore the experiences of faculty caring and uncaring behaviours on students learning from the perspective of university nursing and midwifery students. Methods: Descriptive phenomenology was used to collect data from 10 nursing and midwifery students who were purposively selected at a baccalaureate nursing and midwifery school at a public university in Malawi. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews from August 24th, 2015 to September 30th, 2015 and analysed using Colaizziâ€™s (1978) method. Ethical considerations were followed. European Scientific Journal, ESJ ISSN: 1857-7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857-7431 January 2021 edition Vol.17, No.3 www.eujournal.org 206 Results: Two sub-themes which emerged under the main theme of experiences of faculty caring behaviours which were: (1) Increased motivation (2) Increased confidence and Competence, whilst three sub-themes which emerged under the main theme of experiences of faculty uncaring behaviours were: (1) Poor performance (2) A risk to patients (3) Feeling helpless and embarrassed. Conclusion: Experiences of students with caring and uncaring faculty had an influence on students learning, personal well-being and on their ability to effectively care for their patients. The study recommends that faculty members should critically analyse their actions and embrace those caring behaviours that facilitate the process of creating a conducive learning environment. In addition, there is need to develop a clear policy stipulating the role of student personal advisors and how students can engage them.

The involvement of pesticides in agriculture requires the implementation of best phytosanitary practices in order to guarantee the health of populations and preserve the environment. This study focused on the assessment of phytosanitary practices of tomato producers in Foumbot, European Scientific Journal, ESJ ISSN: 1857-7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857-7431 January 2021 edition Vol.17, No.3 www.eujournal.org 31 Western Highlands-Cameroon, and evaluated the residues of 17 pesticides in tomatoes. The methodological approach consisted of field investigations by survey, collection of samples, pesticide residue extraction using QuEChERS method, and their analysis by gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Survey of 100 farmers showed that, they did not comply with the instructions for the use of plant protection products: 56% of farmers interviewed increased the dose of products when they noticed its ineffectiveness; 93% did not the respect pre-harvest intervals; while 77% increased the application frequency at the time of fruiting. All the producers work without personal protective equipment (PPE) and 68% of them use empty packaging for packaging consumable including water, red oil and palm wine. The reuse of empty packaging could expose populations (producers and consumers) to numerous health risks. Regarding pesticides residues, 03 actives ingredients were detected and quantified in the samples, all the samples were contaminated by lambda-cyhalothrin, 86.66% by cypermethrin and 66.66% by acetamiprid. Moreover, residue concentrations above the maximum residue limit (MRL) were found in all the positive samples of lambda-cyhalothrin, and 92.30% of cypermethrin positive samples. This study shows that utilization of plant protection products in Foumbot requires extensive monitoring with producers, in order to reduce risk of consumers exposure.
Modélisation de la croissance et la production du liège en Tunisie
Authors: SGHAIER Tahar , GARCHI Salah , AZIZI Thouraya
Published: February 2021

L’absence d’outils nécessaires pour l’estimation des productions, la gestion et l’aménagement des peuplements de chêne-liège (Quercus suber L.) en Tunisie constitue un handicap pour le développement et la conservation de la suberaie dans le pays. Les objectifs de ce travail étaient de préciser l’impact de l’intensité de démasclage des arbres de chêne-liège sur la croissance et la production du liège, d’élaborer des modèles d’estimation de la croissance et la biomasse du liège à l’échelle de l’arbre, et enfin de vérifier des coefficients de démasclage appliqués en Tunisie et leur impact sur la production nationale de liège. Les données collectées proviennent d’un essai multisites de démasclage et de deux inventaires réalisés dans différents chantiers de démasclage durant deux campagnes successives de récolte de liège. Trois sites expérimentaux représentatifs des forêts productives de chêne-liège en Tunisie ont fait l’objet d’un même essai où trois coefficients de démasclage ont été appliqués sur des arbres appartenant à trois classes de diamètre. Des mesures de l’épaisseur du liège à hauteur de poitrine ont été effectuées annuellement durant une rotation de 12 ans, à la fin de laquelle le liège produit sur chaque arbre a été récolté et pesé. Les résultats obtenus ont montré un effet « coefficients de démasclage » non significatif et un effet « classes de diamètre » très hautement significatif sur la croissance en épaisseur du liège. Le poids de liège récolté est affecté significativement par les coefficients de démasclage et les classes de diamètre. Deux modèles de croissance et de biomasse de liège ont été développés à l’échelle de l’arbre avec des précisions respectives de 96 % et 93 %. Les coefficients de démasclage réellement appliqués en Tunisie varient de 0,6 à 3,6 avec une valeur moyenne de 1,7. Les pertes dans les quantités de liège récolté issues des deux inventaires ont été respectivement estimées, en cas d’application des coefficients de démasclage étudiés (2, 2,5 et 3), à 14 %, 32 % et 50 %.
Conséquences de la coupe rase sur la production de racines fines, CO2, CH4 et N2O jusqu'à la nappe phréatique dans une plantation d'Eucalyptus grandis menée en taillis sur un dispositif d'exclusion de pluie
Authors: GERMON Amandine
Published: February 2021

Une meilleure connaissance de la dynamique spatio-temporelle des racines fines et des gaz à effet de serre dans les couches profondes du sol est indispensable pour identifier des pratiques sylvicoles plus durables pour les forêts plantées dans un contexte de changement climatique. Notre étude visait à évaluer les effets des coupes claires et de la sécheresse sur la production de racines fines et les flux et la production de CO2, CH4 et N2O sur tout le profil de sol jusqu'à la nappe, dans des plantations d'Eucalyptus grandis conduites en taillis au Brésil. Les racines fines (diamètre < 2 mm) ont été échantillonnées jusqu'à une profondeur de 17 m sur un dispositif d’exclusion de pluviolessivat permettant de comparer des peuplements où 37 % du pluviolessivat a été exclu à l'aide de bâches en plastique (–W) avec des peuplements sans exclusion d'eau de pluie (+W). La dynamique racinaire, les flux en surface et les concentrations dans le sol de CO2, CH4 et N2O ont été mesurés dans deux fosses permanentes pour les deux traitements, + W et – W, avant la coupe des arbres et ensuite en conduite en taillis.  La croissance des racines fines était considérable à grande profondeur (> 13 m) pour les arbres menés en taillis et, étonnamment, la mortalité des racines fines était extrêmement faible quelle que soit la profondeur et le traitement. La biomasse des racines fines, leur longueur et leur surface spécifiques étaient respectivement plus élevées d'environ 25 %, 15 % et 15 % pour le traitement –W que pour +W. Les concentrations moyennes de CO2 et N2O pour –W sont plus faibles de 20,7 % et 7,6 % que pour +W, et les concentrations de CH4 pour –W sont plus élevées de 44,4 % que pour +W sur l'ensemble des profils du sol. Un modèle de diffusivité montre une production et une consommation de CO2, N2O et CH4 en grande profondeur et similaire pour les deux traitements, +W et –W. La mise en place de systèmes racinaires profonds dans les forêts tropicales plantées pourrait permettre aux arbres de résister aux périodes de sécheresse attendues dans le futur. Notre étude réalisée dans des peuplements d'eucalyptus gérés en taillis, représentatifs de vastes zones tropicales, suggère que les émissions de gaz à effet de serre pourraient être peu influencées par les modifications de régimes de précipitations dues au changement climatique.
La population d’Avicennia germinans du delta du Saloum est-elle relictuelle depuis la dernière période humide ?
Authors: LOMBARD Florent , ANDRIEU Julien , DESCROIX Luc
Published: February 2021

Dans le monde entier, les mangroves sont déboisées à un rythme plus élevé que les forêts tropicales. Dans le delta du Saloum au Sénégal, elle a connu un déclin important dans les années 1980 et 1990, mais elle se régénère spontanément depuis lors. Cet article teste l'hypothèse suivante : la population d'Avicennia germinans dans le Saloum correspondrait à une population relique établie pendant les années hyper-humides (1950 à 1967). Cet article fait la synthèse de deux campagnes botaniques différentes, espacées de 15 ans. Également, il rend compte d’une expérience sur la flottation des propagules en fonction de la salinité de l'eau. En 2003, la reproduction d'Avicennia germinans n'avait pas eu lieu dans la zone de demi-marée depuis plusieurs années déjà. Seul le piégeage par Sesuvium portulacastrum, dans la zone de haute marée, permet l'apparition de jeunes pousses. C'est donc un problème de dépôt et d'enracinement des propagules. En 2018, seuls deux individus, présents sur le même site, semblent avoir suivi un processus de régénération « normal », en zone de demi-marée, dans la boue, sans processus de piégeage des propagules. La récente diminution de la salinité permettrait à nouveau exceptionnellement aux propagules de s'enfoncer, et donc de germer comme en période humide. Une relation linéaire évidente a été observée entre la flottaison et la salinité. En Gambie et en Casamance, où les précipitations sont plus importantes et la salinité plus faible, cette espèce se reproduit normalement et n'a pas été affectée dans sa reproduction par la période de sécheresse. Cela nous permet d'estimer que des seuils de 1 000 mm de précipitations annuelles ou 20 ‰ de salinité minimale, franchis après la période hyper-humide (1950-1967), ont empêché, depuis, la reproduction de l'espèce. Si la population étudiée par la science depuis les années 1970 est bien une population relique, issue d'une période anormalement humide, toute une littérature visant à décrire et expliquer la dégradation des mangroves du Saloum aurait été basée sur un état de référence particulièrement inapproprié.

Published: February 2021

We present statistical data on the number of low-income population and low-income families in the Russian Federation. The concepts of “low-income”, “low-income family”, “living wage” are characterized. The problematic field of low-income families is studied. The main reasons for the increase in the number of low-income families in the Russian Federation are revealed. The relevance of the research topic is substantiated. Measures are listed to improve the quality of life of low-income families within the framework of state social policy. The legal framework for social work with low-income families is studied. The essence, stages and principles of the social counseling technology are considered. We list the main personality traits that a specialist in social work should have. The need for social institutions to use the social counseling technology when working with low-income families is revealed and substantiated. The developed and implemented social project to inform low-income families using the social counseling technology is presented. The relevance is substantiated and the effectiveness of the implementation of this social project is proved. The novelty and practical significance of the project is revealed, which consists in the pos-sibility of increasing the level of awareness of low-income families on social and legal issues, in the cooperation of efforts of various social institutions in solving the problems of low-income fam-ilies, in attracting and training volunteers to acquire the necessary knowledge on social and legal issues.
Reading support as a direction of sociocultural activity
Authors: Stefanovskaya Natalia A.
Published: February 2021

We consider the problem of reading support as one of the most relevant areas of sociocultural activity. The need for special measures to support reading is justified in connection with the growing trends in visualization and gamification of the cultural environment, and a decrease in interest in reading. Reading support is defined as a system of state, public and private initiatives to increase the value status of reading, stimulate reading activity, and develop the reading compe-tence of all population groups. We analyze the Russian and foreign experience of state support for reading, including the publication of legislative acts, the adoption of special programs, and the creation of interdepartmental coordination structures. It is shown that at the state level, reading is considered in the context of functional literacy of the population as a resource for economic growth that allows citizens to actively participate in the life of the state. The history of develop-ment of public initiatives in Russia is traced – from the creation of private typographies to the ac-tivities of modern associations and foundations. Regional Reading Centers are highlighted as a special form. Conclusions are drawn about the prospects of attracting volunteers to implement projects to increase the availability of books and reading for people with disabilities. It is shown that currently reading support is becoming systematic and is implemented on the basis of social partnership of library, cultural and leisure, educational institutions and public associations.
Peasant revolts against the peasant revolution
Authors: Isaychikov Viktor F.
Published: February 2021

Тhe peasant revolts, wars, and revolutions known in history had both revolutionary and reactionary sides. A particularly complex interweaving was observed in Russia (USSR) in the first third of the 20th century due to the maximum number of economic structures and classes in the country and four revolutions. The main reason for the struggle of the peasant classes, including re-volts, was poverty, caused by both agrarian overpopulation and social causes, among which the main one before the October revolution was the remnants of feudalism. All four revolutions in Russia were largely peasant revolutions, but they differed in class composition and class leader-ship. As a result of the Great October socialist revolution, a joint dictatorship of the working class and the peasantry (the petty bourgeoisie) was established in the country, not predicted by K. Marx, but foreseen by V.I. Lenin. However, the small working class after V.I. Lenin’s death could not hold on to power, and as a result of the “Stalinist” counter-revolution, an internally unstable dictatorship of the petty bourgeoisie (peasantry) was established in the country. We reveal the class processes in the peasantry that led to revolts and revolutions.
Ivan Matyukhin and his detachment in the Tambov rebellion
Authors: Podlesnov Vladimir I.
Published: February 2021

The relevance of the work is due to the need for a scientific understanding of the phenomenon of peasant rebellion against Soviet power, and the largest of them, the Tambov rebellion, in the year of its centenary, to study motivation as its leaders, one of whom was I.S. Matyukhin and ordinary participants. The purpose of the study is to analyze the personality of Ivan Matyukhin and the soldiers of his detachment, as well as the main military operations in which they participated. When working on the study, such research methods were used as the study of archival data and memoirs, their analysis. The research was based on the data of the State Archives of the Tambov Region, the State Archive of the Social and Political History of the Tambov Region, the Russian State Military Archive, the memoirs of the participants in the events under study, as well as published scientific works. The scientific significance of the study lies in the systematization of in-formation about Ivan Matyukhin’s detachment, the analysis of known archival documents and the introduction of new ones into scientific circulation. In the course of the study, the military operations of the Insurrectionary Army, in which the I.S. Matyukhin regiment took part, are analyzed, and the key role of his unit in especially significant operations was revealed. A social portrait of a member of his detachment is compiled – most often these are peasants, both wealthy and those related to the poor, for the most part who had experience in military operations. We prove the high level of support of the Matyukhin unit among local residents, skillfully organized intelligence and staff work.
Linguodidactic functions of the peer review method in teaching students written speech utterance
Authors: Kretov Denis V.
Published: February 2021

The peer review method is one of the problem learning methods. Its essence lies in the mutual study of each other’s written works by students in order to comment and evaluate them for further revision. Like any teaching method, the peer review method has linguodidactic properties – characteristics that underlie it, essential for the methods of teaching foreign languages and distin-guishing this method from others. Also, the method of peer review has specific linguodidactic functions – an external manifestation of the linguodidactic properties of the teaching method, which show what educational and cognitive tasks are solved by using this method in practice in foreign language teaching. Based on the analysis of the literature, the following linguodidactic functions of this method are identified: a) the development of student mentoring in teaching;
b) sharing of responsibility by students for mastering the educational material; c) the use of blended learning in the implementation of the peer review method; d) changing the role of a teacher from a “bearer of knowledge” to a moderator of educational and cognitive activities of students; e) changing the ratio between classroom and extracurricular educational and cognitive activities of students; f) reduction of the terms of checking students’ training written works. The work describes in detail each of the selected functions.
Psychological and pedagogical conditions for the development of lexical speech skills of school students on the basis of educational computer games
Authors: Shmelev Bogdan A.
Published: February 2021

On the basis of a multifaceted analysis of the concept of “conditions”, the concept of “pedagogical conditions” is defined and its analysis is carried out. The main characteristic features of the concept of “pedagogical conditions” are identified. Various groups of conditions are consi-dered, with the help of which the effective functioning of the pedagogical system occurs. The fea-tures of psychological and pedagogical conditions are revealed. The analysis of the concept of “sensitivity” and the main period of its duration are presented. The analysis of this age period was carried out and its potential in teaching is revealed. The main types of activities at school age (playing, cognitive, educational) are considered. Further, psychological and pedagogical condi-tions are proposed, aimed at the development of lexical speech skills on the basis of educational computer games. The first proposed psychological and pedagogical condition for the development of lexical speech skills on the basis of educational computer games is the motivation of students to develop lexical speech skills on the basis of educational computer games. The analysis of the concepts of “motivation” and “motive” is presented. Various types of systematization of motivation (external, internal), by the type of motivator (positive, negative), depending on its stability (stable, unstable) are considered. A number of strategies are also given to increase the motivation of students. The second psychological and pedagogical condition for the development of lexical speech skills on the basis of educational computer games is the development of ICT competence among students. We consider such concepts as digital competence, ICT literacy. The last psychological and pedagogical condition for the development of lexical speech skills based on educational computer games is the development of the teacher’s ICT competence.
Attracting talented youth to study in Post-Graduate Programme at a classical university
Authors: Stromov Vladimir Y. , Sysoyev Pavel V. , Zavyalov Vladimir V.
Published: February 2021

The decline in the effectiveness of post-graduate programs is one of the problematic issues of Post-Graduate Programme in any university. In many respects, the enrollments that are weak in terms of the quality of students are due to the poor awareness of graduates of the Specialist’s Degree and Master’s Degree Programmes about what learning at the third level of higher pro-fessional education is, what advantages and to whom does obtaining an academic degree of candidate of sciences give. In this regard, career guidance work in Post-Graduate Programme is one of the important factors of its effectiveness. At the same time, an analysis of researches on the organization of career guidance work with students indicates that in most universities, the main goal of career guidance work is to attract high school graduates to enroll in a university and the choice of a specific direction of training and a profile of education. The absence of a multi-level career guidance system “school student–student–graduate” does not allow Bachelor’s Degree and Specialist’s Degree students to comprehensively develop an individual trajectory of development in the research field and methodically prepare students to continue their learning in Post-Graduate Programme. In this research a) the relevance and the necessity of organizing career guidance work among Bachelor’s/Specialist’s Degree and Master’s Degree students for admission to Post-Graduate Programme is indicated; b) the pedagogical potential of the institute of mentoring in organizing career guidance events to attract talented youth to Post-Graduate Programme is considered; c) a description of the experience of the Derzhavin Tambov State University on the implementation of the scientific and educational project “I want to be a Post-Graduate Student” within the framework of the mentoring institute is given. Subject and thematic content of the project includes three blocks: 1) Post-Graduate Programme: what it is; 2) admission and learning in Post-Graduate Programme; 3) scientific journals and publication ethics. The work describes in detail the content of the project.

Published: February 2021

Background: Ocular trauma is an accident caused by a foreign object that affects the eye tissue. Ocular trauma can cause pain and a decrease in the person’s best-corrected visual acuity. Mechanical ocular traumas can cause morphological and functional eye changes that are serious enough to cause blindness. Blindness is often used to describe a severe visual impairment with the remaining visual function. Objective: To determine and to analyze the relationship between mechanical ocular trauma and the best-corrected visual acuity of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital patients in 2016-2018. Material and Method: This study was an analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The data was collected using the medical records of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital patients in 2016-2018. The population of this study consists of all patients with pure mechanical ocular trauma with a total of 198 subjects. Results: Fisher exact test results showed a value of p=0.054 which means there is no significant relationship between the best-corrected visual acuity with mechanical ocular trauma. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that there is no significant relationship between mechanical ocular trauma and the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) based on the medical record of patients with ocular trauma in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya in 2016–2018, on the most results with patients who have BCVA 6/24 - 2 meter finger count.

One of the functions of a public transport terminal that has a function as a temporary stopover from road transport activities. Likewise with the function of the Pulo Gebang Integrated Terminal which has a function as a point transit and a temporary stop from road transportation activities for the AKAP Bus and the AKDP Bus. In carrying out its function as a terminal, safe, smooth and comfortable circulation is required. Start the bus in the position in front of the terminal door, or when the bus is in a position outside the terminal door. The smooth circulation of the terminal will have an impact on parking capacity and service waiting times, which in turn will result in the smooth departure and arrival of buses at the Pulo Gebang Integrated Terminal.In order to expedite the circulation of the activities of the arrival and departure of the AKAP Bus at the Pulo Gebang Integrated Terminal, needed problem solving is regarding the implementation of the SOP. AKAP Bus departures and arrivals. By the authors conducted research by collecting various kinds of research data while carrying out the Job Training (PKL) there. The data collection process was carried out by using various methods, such as: field observation techniques, interview techniques, and requests for permission to request data on the daily reports of AKAP Bus departures and arrivals. Then, the collected data is reviewed and it is hoped that it can become a solution for the performance in the Operational Unit and the Integrated Terminal Partnership Pulo Gebang in carrying out operational activities for the departure and arrival of the AKAP Bus.The results of this study found obstacles that occurred during the implementation process of the facility system component activities against the limit SRP and bus operational service time at the Pulo Gebang Integrated Terminal. This is supported by the daily data on the arrival and departure of the AKAP Bus at the Pulo Gebang Integrated Terminal.

The review presents the materials on the use of mobile laboratories, developed in the Russian Federation, in the framework of four main areas: monitoring of territories to identify the circulation of pathogens of natural-focal infectious diseases; monitoring of territories during the exacerbation of the epizootic situation; participation in the elimination of outbreaks of infectious diseases; monitoring of territories to control and predict the epidemiological and epizootiologic situation in preparation for mass events. The tactical and technical characteristics and the procedure for organizing the operation of the mobile laboratory for monitoring and diagnostics mounted on the platform of the KamAZ chassis are considered. A distinctive feature of the laboratory from the existing Russian and foreign counterparts is the availability of the necessary conditions for conducting research using bacteriological analysis, rapid and accelerated diagnostic methods, and performing a full cycle of works – from the preparatory stage to the destruction of infected material. Hightech equipment allows the realization of two research schemes: the first – bacteriological analysis alongside the PCR, which ensures high reliability of the results; the second – conducting the PCR at the first stage, and when identifying genetic markers of the pathogen – performing bacteriological analysis of positive samples in order to isolate the culture of the pathogen and identify it subsequently. The second scheme will reduce the volume of bacteriological studies; make changes in the tactics of epizootiological survey. Tests of the mobile laboratory have demonstrated the effectiveness of its use in the epizootiological examination of natural plague foci, including cross-border ones. Owing to the use of a mobile laboratory in the Gorno-Altaisk high-mountain natural focus of plague, a new epizootic site was identified, located in a remote area, used by the population as a summer pasture for grazing domestic animals. The use of mobile laboratories will strengthen the laboratory base of institutions that monitor particularly dangerous, natural-focal and other dangerous infectious diseases; will help to bring the advanced diagnostic technologies directly to the natural focus, reduce the risk of epidemic complications due to plague and other particularly dangerous infections in cross-border natural foci.

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of Yersinia pestis EV NIIEG on the process of neutrophil extracellular traps formation in vivo when modeling plague infection and assess their contribution to antiplague protection.

Materials and methods. BALB/c mice, which were immunized subcutaneously with the Y. pestis EV NIIEG vaccine strain, were used in the study. Animals were infected with a virulent strain Y. pestis 231 at a dose of 20 LD50 (103 CFU). To evaluate the contribution of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to antibacterial protection, an experimental model was used based on fermenting NETs in the abdominal cavity of mice with nuclease. To calculate the number of NETs in peritoneal exudate (PE) fluorescent microscopy was applied. Phagocytic activity of PE cells was determined by flow cytometry. Bactericidal effect of NETs was recorded using bacteriological method.

Results and discussion. In pre-immunized mice, the process of NETs formation in response to the reintroduction of plague microbe living cells was 5 times more intense than in intact animals and was accompanied by a significant increase in the killing of Y. pestis cells in PE. The use of micrococcus nuclease in the experiment for fermentation of the NETs, produced in the body of immunized animals, provided evidence of NET participation in conferring anti-infective protection against plague infection. Thus, the established fact of the NET formation in case of Y. pestis infection of mice immunized with Y. pestis EV NIIEG vaccine strain and the influence of this process on the effectiveness of protection against plague is the basis for further clarifying the immunopathogenetic role of neutrophil granulocytes in plague.
