There is a pressing demand for vaccines against novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) because of the existing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Among all the approaches, a messenger RNA (mRNA) based vaccine has become a quick and flexible platform to respond rapidly to this problem. This letter provides the latest information regarding the vaccine's horse race and their clinical trial phase 3 data. It also briefs about the advantages of the mRNA vaccine over other traditional approaches.
Design of experiments for light speed invariance to moving observers
Authors: Chen Qian
Published: February 2021

The principle of the constancy of the velocity of light, which stated that the light velocity is invariant to the motion of the emitter, was well established and experimentally proven. Interestingly, the further assumption that the light velocity is independent of the motion of the observer was never directly proven by any experiment for a century. This paper proposed the design of two experiments to directly test this assumption. One is to directly measure the light speed as to moving sensors. The experiment setup is designed in such a way that the concerns of time synchronization and dilation can be avoided. Another experiment is to test the isotropy of the light speed to a moving particle in the electromagnetic accelerator by measuring the momentum to acceleration ratio. Since the light speed invariance to observers is a key assumption, the experiment result, if positive, will cover a long-time gap. Otherwise, it may imply a need for further investigation. Either way, the experiments will have significant meanings in physical theory.

MPP6 is differentially expressed in human metastatic breast cancer, in the brain and in the lymph nodes.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: February 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that membrane protein, palmitoylated 6 (MAGUK p55 subfamily member 6), encoded by MPP6, was among the genes whose expression was most quantitatively different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. MPP6 mRNA was present at decreased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of MPP6 in primary tumors was correlated with patient overall survival in patients with breast cancer. Modulation of MPP6 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain.

Dynamics between Vietnamese real consumption and economic growth
Authors: AISDL
Published: February 2021

This article uses recent developments in econometric techniques to examine the consumption-led growth hypothesis for Vietnam from 1990–2012. The Granger-causality tests were based on two testing approaches: the vector error correction modeling approach outlined in Toda and Philips, and the augmented level VAR modeling with integrated and cointegrated processes (of arbitrary orders) separately introduced by Toda and Yamamoto (1993) and Dolado and Lütkepohl (1996). Empirical results reveal the mutual exogeneity between the Vietnamese real consumption and GDP growth. This exogeneity poses great challenges for the Vietnamese policymakers who must rebalance their transitional economy. This change, necessitated by recent crises in the international economic landscape, necessitates a shift in the Vietnamese economy from an export-led growth economy to a more inclusive, services-oriented, and consumer-based.

Take my advice: Intrinsic emotion regulation is more effective under external guidance.
Authors: Ngombe Nicola , Kessler Klaus , Shaw Daniel J
Published: February 2021

Traditionally, research into emotion regulation (ER) has focused primarily on the intra-personal processes through which we regulate our own emotions intrinsically. More recently, however, studies have begun to explore the inter-personal nature of intrinsic ER – that is, how we regulate our emotions under the guidance of others. Preliminary evidence suggests that the ER is more effective when implemented inter- rather than intra-personally, but these findings are based exclusively on subjective ratings that capture only the experience of emotions. The current study therefore investigated whether this apparent superiority of inter-personal intrinsic ER could be replicated and extended to physiological measures of affective reactions – namely, metrics of electrodermal activity. In addition, we administered several self-report instruments to measure behavioural phenotypes associated with individual differences in intrinsic ER to identify groups that might benefit maximally from inter-personal guidance. In a within-subjects design, a large sample (N=146) were required to down-regulate their emotional reactions to negatively valenced images using an ER strategy they had chosen themselves intra-personally or one that had been recommended to them inter-personally. Subjective ratings and physiological responses converged to demonstrate the greater effectiveness of inter- over intra-personal ER in decreasing negative affective reactions, illustrating its potential therapeutic application for conditions characterised by emotion dysregulation. Interestingly, though, data from the self-report instruments did not reveal patterns of behaviour associated with its efficacy, and so it remains to be seen if and how the benefits of inter-personal ER extend to clinical populations.

Published: February 2021

Recent years have seen dramatic changes in research practices in psychological science. In particular, preregistration of study plans prior to conducting a study has been identified as an important tool to help increase the transparency of science and to improve the robustness of psychological research findings. This article presents the Psychological Research Preregistration-Quantitative (PRP-QUANT) Template produced by a Joint Psychological Societies Preregistration Task Force consisting of the American Psychological Association (APA), British Psychological Society (BPS) and German Psychological Society (DGPs), supported by the Center for Open Science (COS) and the Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID). The goal of the Task Force was to provide the psychological community with a consensus template for the preregistration of quantitative research in psychology, one with wide coverage and the ability, if necessary, to adapt to specific journals, disciplines and researcher needs. This article covers the structure and use of the PRP-QUANT template, while outlining and discussing the benefits of its use for researchers, authors, funders and other relevant stakeholders. We hope that by introducing this template and by demonstrating the support of preregistration by major academic psychological societies, we will facilitate an increase in preregistration practices and thereby also the further advancement of transparency and knowledge-sharing in the psychological sciences.
Visceral politics: a theoretical and empirical proof of concept
Authors: Tsakiris Manos , Vehar Neza , Tucciarelli Raffaele
Published: February 2021

While the study of affect and emotion has a long history in psychological sciences and neuroscience, the very question of how visceral states have come to the forefront of politics remains poorly understood. The concept of visceral politics captures how the physiological nature of our engagement with the social world influences how we make decisions, just as socio-political forces recruit our physiology to influence our socio-political behaviour. This line of research attempts to bridge the psychophysiological mechanisms that are responsible for our affective states with the historical socio-cultural context in which such states are experienced. We review findings and hypotheses at the intersections of life sciences, social sciences and humanities to shed light on how and why people come to experience such emotions in politics and what if any are their behavioural consequences. To answer these questions, we provide insights from predictive coding accounts of interoception and emotion and a proof of concept experiment to highlight the role of visceral states in political behaviour.
Making memorable choices: Cognitive control and the self-choice effect in memory
Authors: Baldwin Cassandra , Garrison Katie , Schmeichel Brandon
Published: February 2021

The current research tested the effects of active choice on memory (i.e., the self-choice effect). Across 14 experiments (N = 1100) we found that memory for choice alternatives was improved by choosing versus being assigned information to remember. A subset of 3 experiments found a bigger self-choice effect for more difficult choices. And a subset of 6 experiments found that prior acts of self-control reduce the self-choice effect. These findings represent unbiased estimates of the self-choice effect (d = 0. 62), the magnitude of the self-choice effect for easy (d = 0.35) versus more difficult (d = 0.87) choices, and the effect of ego depletion on choice memory (d = 0.39). Discussion centers on the role of cognitive control.
Post-action memory enhancement: Exploring the temporal relationship between action and memory formation
Authors: Shimane Daisuke , Tanaka Takumi , Watanabe Katsumi , Tanaka Kanji
Published: February 2021

Actions enhance incidental memory for items that appear in close succession. However, the role of action processes, such as preparation and execution, on the processes underlying such an interaction is unclear. Here, we examined the temporal dynamics of action-induced memory enhancement. In two experiments, participants performed Go/No-Go tasks while viewing task-unrelated pictures before or after their Go motor responses. Compared to items presented at similar time points in the No-Go trials, items presented after, not before, action execution were consistently better remembered in the subsequent memory tests. Our findings highlight the role of action execution and post-action processes, such as action-effect monitoring, in memory formation.
Nonconvergence, Covariance Constraints, and Class Enumeration in Growth Mixture Models
Authors: McNeish Daniel , Harring Jeffrey , Bauer Daniel
Published: February 2021

Growth mixture models (GMMs) are a popular method to identify latent classes of growth trajectories. One shortcoming of GMMs is nonconvergence, which often leads researchers to apply covariance equality constraints to simplify estimation. This approach is criticized because it introduces a dubious homoskedasticity assumption across classes. Alternative methods have been proposed to reduce nonconvergence without imposing covariance equality constraints, and though studies have shown that these methods perform well when the correct number of classes is known, research has not examined whether they can accurately identify the number of classes. Given that selecting the number of classes tends to be the most difficult aspect of GMMs, more information about class enumeration performance is crucial to assess the potential utility of these methods. We conduct an extensive simulation based on model characteristics from studies in the PTSD literature to explore class enumeration and classification accuracy of methods for improving nonconvergence. Despite its popularity, results showed that typical approach of applying covariance equality constraints performs quite poorly and is not recommended. However, we recommended covariance pattern GMMs because they (a) had the highest convergence rates, (b) were most likely to identify the correct number of classes, and (c) had the highest classification accuracy in many conditions, even with modest sample sizes. An analysis of empirical PTSD data is provided to show that the typical 4-Class solution found in many empirical PTSD studies may be an artefact of the covariance equality constraint method that has permeated this literature.
Religious institutionalism: a feminist response
Authors: Chan Kathryn
Published: February 2021

People who are committed to religious freedom are generally also committed to protecting the conditions for the cultivation of religious life. Because of the deep linkages between religious belief and practice and religious institutions, it can seem natural and straightforward to move from championing religious freedom to championing religious freedom for religious institutions themselves. Members of the Supreme Court of Canada indicated their readiness to make this move in a 2015 case involving a Catholic secondary school in Quebec. In this article, I challenge the idea that according religious institutions section 2(a) protection in their own right is either a natural or a straightforward consequence of a commitment to collective religious freedom. I describe the intellectual history and characteristics of religious institutionalism and summarize the claims of its principal Canadian proponent. I then outline several ways in which religious institutionalism clashes with our basic constitutional commitments. Finally, I develop several prongs of a feminist response to religious institutionalism. I highlight the normative character of questions about the constitutional status of religious institutions, the gendered nature of the relationship between religious institutions and individual rights-holders, and the organic and dynamic features of religious institutions. I argue that we must approach institutional religious freedom claims cautiously and resist any interpretation of section 2(a) that would entrench and shield from internal resistance a singular, institutional religious voice.
PIGMENTS CONTENT IN LEAVES OF GRAIN SORGHUM UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE HERBICIDE CYTADEL 25 OD, PLANT GROWTH REGULATOR ENDOFIT L1 AND BIOPREPARATION BIOARSENAL
Authors: Karpenko V. P.
Published: February 2021

Content of the chlorophylls and carotenoids in a pigment complex is one of the most important factors that determine the productivity of crops of cereals. Although it is well known that herbicides and plant growth regulators may cause changes in the amount of pigments, there is lack of researches about their separate and integrated influence on the pigment complex of grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench). Therefore, we aimed our research to investigate the response of grain sorghum’s pigment complex to the impact of the herbicide in different combinations with the plant growth regulator and biopreparation. In result, it was found that the content of the pigments was decreasing simultaneously with increasement of the herbicide rate. However, the obtained data indicates that the complex usage of the herbicide and plant growth regulator had an auspicious influence on the pigments content, compared to the variants where only herbicide was applied. The similar auspicious effect appeared, when the herbicide was applied on the background of pre-sowing seeds treatment by the biopreparation Bioarsenal. It is noticeable that in this case the increasement of pigments content was higher than in the variants of compatible application of the herbicide and plant growth regulator. The highest indicators of the pigments content formed when the herbicide was applied compatible with the plant growth regulator on the background of pre-sowing seeds treatment. The content excess of the chlorophylls a, b, a+b and carotenoids, relatively to the control, amounted 7,4 – 9,1%, 16,0 – 18,3%, 9,4 – 11,2% and 35,5 – 40,2% respectively. It is evident that usage of the herbicide Citadel 25 OD compatibly with the plant growth regulator Endofit L1 on the background of pre-sowing seeds treatment by the biopreparation Bioarsenal is an effective measure, which allows to reduce the harmful impact of the xenobiotic on the pigment complex of grain sorghum
THE SELECTION OF PERENNIAL GRASSES – PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Authors: Karpenko V. P.
Published: February 2021

Over the past decades, a third of the world’s arable land has been lost to soil erosion, and the rate of this degradation is increasing and will continue to increase with increasing production capacity boundaries. The persistent problem of soil erosion around the world has revived interest in perennial crops. All of our current crops are annuals, so developing a number of new perennial crops, legumes, and others will take a long-term effort. An analysis of the literary sources of domestic and foreign scientists has established that some cereals, such as rye, rice and sorghum, can be hybridized with the closest perennial relatives to enrich the gene pool. Others, such as wheat, oats, corn, soybeans and sunflowers, must be hybridized with more distant perennial species and genera. And some perennial species with a relatively high yield (medium wheatgrass, Maximilian sunflower and others) can be cultivated without interspecific hybridization.
POTASSIUM BALANCE IN THE SOIL AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF POTASSIUM DEFICIENCY SYSTEM OF FERTILIZATION
Authors: Hospodarenko Н. M.
Published: February 2021

The influence of long-term application of different doses and ratios of mineral fertilizers in field crop rotation on the content of basic nutrients in grain and straw of spring barley has been established. The study was held in the conditions of podzolic black heavy loam soil of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. The relative nutrients removal by spring barley depending on the doses of different types of fertilizers and their combinations in the field crop rotation is calculated. It is shown that the content of basic nutrients in the harvest of spring barley (grain and straw) significantly depends on the content of their mobile compounds in the soil. This is especially true of nitrogen and less of potassium. Economic removal of nutrients from the grain harvest of spring barley depends on the doses of fertilizers in the field crop rotation and the ratio of nutrients in them. The largest share is nitrogen (65–122 kg / ha), followed by K2O - 47–92 and P2O5 26–51 kg / ha. From 1 ton of grain and the corresponding amount of straw, spring barley of the Commander variety removes 19.2–22.4 kg of nitrogen, 7.8–9.2 - P2O5 and 14.0–16.8 kg of K2O from the soil, depending on the fertilizer and saturation of field crop rotation with different types of fertilizers. Straw is an important source of soil organic matter reproduction and the return of nutrients used for crop formation. Depending on the system of fertilization, 17–25% of nitrogen, 25–30% of phosphorus and 68–69% of potassium are returned to the soil with spring barley straw via economic removal. It is specified that spring barley of the Commander variety absorbs N, P2O5 and K2O in the following ratio: 1: 0,4: 0,3 to form a unit of grain yield and the corresponding amount of straw in the conditions of podzolic black heavy loam soil of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe.
CONTENT OF AMINO ACIDS IN WINTER WHEAT GRAIN DEPENDING ON THE VARIETY
Authors: Hospodarenko H. M.
Published: February 2021

The amino acid content of soft wheat grain was analyzed depending on the variety. It was found that the content of lysine, leucine, phenylalanine, tyrosine and cystine varies the most from the weather conditions of growing season. The total weight of amino acids varies from 14,01 to 17,46 % of grain depending on the variety of soft wheat. The share of indispensable amino acids is 27–29 % of their total mass. However, the sum content of indispensable amino acids varies significantly depending on the variety and line – from 3,81 to 5,10 %. The highest content of phenylalanine (0.55 %), lysine (0.51 %) and leucine (0.47 %) in the grain of soft wheat Panonicus (st) variety was found. The lowest methionine content is 0.1 %. The remaining amino acids ranged from 0,39 to 0,46 %. Among the dispensable amino acids, there is the highest content of glutamine (3,54 %) and proline (1.11 %), and the lowest content of cystine (0.1 %). The variation coefficient of the samples over the years of research was average for the amino acids serine, glutamine, glycine and arginine – low, histidine, asparagine and methionine – medium, and for the rest - high,. It is obvious that the content of amino acids also varies significantly depending on the weather conditions of the growing season of winter wheat. The content of indispensable amino acids in the grain of Kulundinka soft wheat varied from 0.16 to 0.95 %. The content of threonine (0,78 %) and leucine(0,95 %) was the highest, the content of methionine was the lowest – 0.16 %. The content of other indispensable amino acids ranged from 0,50 to 0,74 %. The content of dispensable amino acids ranged 0,22–4,03 %. The highest content was of proline (1,67 %) and glutamine (4,03 %). The content of other dispensable amino acids varied from 0,80 до 1,12 %. It was found that the content of basic amino acids in wheat grain of P 7 soft line varied from 0,09 to 3,92 %. Thus, the content of indispensable amino acids is dominated by threonine, lysine, valine and leucine (0,54–0,78 %). Among the indispensable are proline, asparagine, and glutamine (1,07–3,92 %). The lowest content among indispensable amino acids was characterized by methionine (0.09 %), among dispensable – cystine (0,27 %). The grain of Kulundinka wheat variety and P 7 line obtained by hybridization of Triticum aestivum L. / Triticum spelta L. has the highest number of indispensable amino acids, which are recommended to be used to obtain high-quality grain.
APPLE TREE REACTION AT DIFFERENT AGE PERIODS OF RE-CULTIVATION ON CHANGES IN THE SOIL NUTRITIVE REGIME UNDER LONG-TERM FERTILIZATION
Authors: Yakovenko R. V.
Published: February 2021

In order the intensive orchards bear fruit stably and give high yields every year, the mineral nutrition of fruit trees must be balanced with the help of fertilization. The soil fertilization plays an important role in this process, which provides the optimal content of essential mineral elements for fruit trees in optimal quantities. The soil nutritive regime and, accordingly, the yield of apple orchards in such conditions are significantly increased. The results of studies of soil nutritive regime and yield of apple trees of Calville snow variety on the seedling rootstock and Idared variety on the seedling and vegetative M4 rootstocks under re-cultivation on mineral nutrition backgrounds, created by long-term (over 86 years) application of different fertilizer systems on the dark-gray podzolized soil. Long-term systematic application of organic and mineral fertilizers and their combination provided the nitrate nitrogen content in the soil in the range of 26.2-28.6 mg/kg, mobile compounds and forms of phosphorus and potassium – 207-236 and 261-270 mg/kg of soil respectively, which exceeded the optimal levels of their quantity in the dark gray podzolized soil. Such changes in the apple trees supply with the main macronutrients, in particular against the background of systematic long-term application of organic and organic and mineral fertilizers, contributed to an increase in the total yield of experimental varieties by 17-35%. In the first period of growth and fruiting of young apple trees were mostly used for the formation of biomass of nitrogen vegetative organs for the plant fertilization, and in the period of full fruiting of potassium to create a fruit harvest. Increasing the Р2О5 content was ineffective. The higher efficiency of the organic fertilizer system was due to a greater increase in the mineral nitrogen content in the soil, and, especially, movable forms of potassium and a better improvement of physical and biological characteristics of soil fertility, as established by the studies of long-term use. It was found that under the organic fertilizer application the soil is enriched not only with N, P and K, but also with trace elements of mineral nutrition of plants

Single lateral locked plate can be an effective implant in providing fracture stabilization of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures
Authors: Matthew Jacob , Troy Mitchell
Published: February 2021

Background: Bicondylar tibial plateau fractures present a therapeutic challenge to the orthopaedic trauma surgeon, both in terms of the osseous injury as well as the concomitant soft-tissue insult. Double Plating with single incision or dual incisions provide more insult to the compromised soft tissue. However, single locking plate combines the technical advantages of an angular stable plate with those of the modern biological plating technique. Methods: The Study was held at Razi Orthopedic hospital in Kuwait. Between May 2012 and November 2013, 20 patients with a mean age of 37.65 years (Range from 24– 57 years) with bicondylar tibial plateau fractures with or without metaphyseal extension. Patients were diagnosed clinically, checked with standard X-rays, CT was done for all cases. Patients were treated by single lateral anatomically contoured locked plate through LISS or Polyaxial locking plate systems with or without additional screws from medial side. Radiological evaluation and functional assessment was done according to the Rasmussen Knee score. Patients were followed-up for an average of 12 months. Results: Union was achieved in all patients with a mean knee range of motion of 1.5°-130° (range: 0°-10° for extension lag, range: 100°-135° for flexion). The mean Functional Rasmussen Knee score at 6 month follow up (25.32±1.53 SD) ranged from (23.0-28.0). The mean Functional Rasmussen Knee score at last follow-up was (28.33±1.57 SD) ranged between (25.0-30.0) with significant P value (P value<0.001). The mean Anatomical Rasmussen Knee score at 6 month follow up (16.11±1.56 SD) ranged from (14.0-18.0). The mean Anatomical Rasmussen Knee score at last follow-up was (16.67±1.37 SD) ranged from (14.0-18.0) with insignificant P value (P value 0.096 ). Of the 20 patients, one patient had wound related problems, one patient had preoperative compartment syndrome, one patient suffered from hardware irritation and one patient had fixation failure upon which revision with double plating done for him. Conclusions: Surgical treatment of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures with the single lateral locked plate that was evaluated in our study can lead to a good functional and anatomical outcome and considered an effective system for providing fracture stabilization provided that the correct surgical technique is used. Awareness of potential hardware complications is essential.
When States Go Thirsty: A Critical Analysis of Water War Thesis
Authors: Ahmad Manzoor , Khan Adil , Mehsud Muhammad Imran
Published: February 2021

This paper discusses water war thesis. It argues that water war thesis is loosely based on the arguments by different world leaders, and writers which state that the new fault lines between states will be drawn on waters. The basic premise of the water war thesis rests on the argument of water crisis; the demand-supply gap will make states thirsty for water. It asserts that as climate changes unfold and population of the world increases, the thirsty states of the world will vie for water resources which will result in water wars. However, there are different writers who challenge the thesis by arguing that instead of generating conflict, water scarcity will induce cooperation amongst riparian states. This paper mainly focuses on this question of whether water scarcity results in conflict or cooperation. In other words, it offers a critical analysis of the water war thesis

Higher Education and the Challenges of Network Society: Philosophical Themes
Authors: Markov B. V.
Published: February 2021

The article presents a philosophical analysis of the humanitarian impact of educational reform due to the influence of new digital technologies. The post-industrial development of society has been characterized as a network society. Specifically, the revolution in media today defines the technological and substantive changes in the educational sector. Its modernization in the 1990s in Russia began through the discussion of the humanitarian mission of the classical university model. However, the process of globalization and the mobility of education demanded the alignment and unification of national educational programs. The Bologna Process was a response. It was implemented in Russia as a two-tiered system, although the society still needed specialists and engineers rather than bachelors and masters. The restructuring of the educational process to comply with international standards then led to the necessity of economic reform. Society needed educated specialists but could not support a large number of educational institutions with a sizable staff. In the manufacturing sector, automatization leads to a growth in workforce productivity whereas in education the traditional pedagogy is mainly practiced. Digital technologies have opened up new opportunities for the increased economic efficiency of centers of education. However, the faculty body, especially in the Humanities sphere, expressed strong criticism. The argument is that digital technologies do not solve pedagogic problems. While discussing the economic efficiency, the main, substantive issue of the meaning and purpose of education has been left aside. Hence the question of how an individual’s education can be embedded into the overall educational process continues to be of high relevance. Resorting to philosophy may be appropriate and reasonable inasmuch as it has accumulated a range of caring and self-preservation practices aimed at the development of social skills of an individuum. Philosophy can also provide an anthropological expertise of on-going reforms, identifying their social and cultural implications.
Transformation of Academic Writing in the Digital Age
Authors: Safonova M. A. , Safonov A. A.
Published: February 2021

Retaining its unifying function in creating academic texts, academic writing is undergoing various changes brought about by digitisation. The key trends are related to three aspects of academic writing: formal bibliometrics, principles of collaboration, and interaction with the readers. The first trend concerns the growing importance of identifiers, citation standards, key words and other metadata that underlie the creation of data bases allowing universities and scientific centres to take administrative and organizational decisions. Secondly, information technologies for collaborative writing stimulate the shift from individual authorship to the collective one and from thematic collaboration to the functional distribution of authorship. Finally, academic writing has adopted marketing strategies and instruments in communicating scientific knowledge to the audience. Digitisation has caused the emergence of postproduction in academic writing, i.e. applying Internet resources to enhance the reach of one’s academic papers. These trends require a revision of the approach to teaching academic writing and a more profound study of the new phenomena conditioned by the digital era.

Dystrophy of the Sense of Incomprehension and its Consequences
Authors: Donskikh O. A.
Published: February 2021

The problem under investigation directly relates to a radically new social situation – the possibility to immediately get any information, which has drastically changed the process of education. This situation has superimposed some previous tendencies, particularly the simplification of tasks and diminishing of challenging conditions of education from the very beginning, which leads to diminishing the joy of learning and efforts to overcome difficulties. The trend towards early specialization plays the same role, because in reality it usually only leads to the exclusion of some subjects. Special attention is given to the distinction between information and knowledge. The crucial difference is between “obtaining knowledge” and “being informed”. Generally speaking, in the first case, a person has to construct an integrated picture of the fragment of reality with different links and relationships between parts of this picture. In the second case, the bits of information are added to something already known without endeavor to continue any further work to understand the subject on a deeper level. In relation to the process of comprehension, this means that in the first case we move from the surface level to the deeper one, while in the second case we are left on the surface level. Short-term memory is used instead of long-term memory. Also, the changed ratio between oral and written communication is analyzed. Due to the habitual practice of communication using electronic devices, the predominantly oral verbal dialogues are replaced with written ones. Therefore, the connection between actors of communication becomes 1) stretched and more muddled due to the mediation of written text, and 2) much narrower, because it lacks additional hints usual for oral communication. The integral result of such education expresses itself in a certain quality of personality that can be described as “the acquired dystrophy of the sense of incomprehension.” It has extremely significant negative consequences related to the formation of a free personality, for social life, and for genuine professional education.
Self-Management Skills as a Basis for the Effectiveness of e-Learning
Authors: Lukashenko M. A.
Published: February 2021

The pandemic has forced universities to switch to e-Learning in force majeure mode. This served as a powerful impetus for the accelerated arming of universities with the resources that allow effective online and blended learning. In these conditions, it became possible to implement a learner-centered educational paradigm. However, this is hindered by the problem of the student’s lack of self-organization and self-motivation skills, as well as the lack of their ability to take responsibility for their own learning and development. This problem is gaining more and more theoretical and practical importance. The purpose of the work is to substantiate that courses such as self-management and time management contribute to the formation of competencies in the field of goal-setting, planning, self-organization, self-control and self-motivation, and therefore in the context of the implementation of learner-centered paradigm, they should serve as propaedeutics for е-Learning. For this purpose, the article provides a review of the content of the “Time Management” course in relation to the task of developing proactivity and the student’s ability to systematic and productive independent work.

The interaction of different political, economic, historical and cultural dynamics of societies play an important role in the emergence of civilizations. The interaction of these dynamics with each other was realized by means of transportation due to reasons such as trade, migration, war, diplomacy. Transportation routes have been the most important element that provides the relationship of space between people and societies through the means that have developed in the historical process. The factor that makes the transportation route valuable and lasting depends on its geopolitical and geostrategic position, on ensuring that the societies carry out their social and economic relations safely. In this context, the oldest and most valuable transportation route in human history is the Silk Road, which covers a large geography from Europe to Asia to Asia to Africa, where many ancient civilizations were born. Along with the increase in the importance of energy resources in recent years, the importance of the Silk Road has increased as a result of the growing role of the countries concentrated in the region along the Silk Road in the world economy. On September 7, 2013, Chinese President XI Jinping delivered an important speech at Nazarbayev University in Astana, calling on China and Central Asia to join the creation of a new "silk road Economic belt". According to some researchers, this project covers the European economic zone from China and the Eurasia and Asia-Pacific economy corridor. China's project to revive the Silk Road has emerged as a result of China's economic and political-based regional and global expectations and concerns, rather than being a utopian initiative. In this study, new projects in the revitalization of the Silk Road were evaluated and the Silk Road Economic Belt project was studied. The environmental threats posed to the region by the world's largest transport project, which is being implemented with the participation of 65 countries, were discussed.
