Published: November 2023

The article explores various innovative teaching technologies for the Ukrainian language and the appropriateness of their use to enhance students' knowledge quality and develop their intellectual and linguistic abilities. Presently, the demand for specialists in the labor market and their competitiveness largely depend on competent speech (oral and written), the ability to communicate effectively, knowledge of language influence techniques, and persuasion. It is noted that societal needs are changing, which require a teacher to be an innovator and researcher capable of critical thinking. However, there is a limited number of developed innovative technologies focused on fostering the individuality of future professionals. The article examines innovative educational approaches that are advisable to prepare future professionals, their impact on the professional training of language teachers, and the dilemmas that arise in current educational conditions. It is proven that experts analyze the development of various directions in contemporary education and science and also contribute to future changes in the reform of future teacher training systems. There is a continuous exchange of ideas, experiences, and knowledge on many modern education and science issues. Higher education teachers use the progressive experience of national and foreign scientists and introduce effective, innovative technologies and teaching methods to improve the education of future language teachers at the current stage of education and science development. The discussed content of innovative technologies and their role in the methodological training of present-day language teachers are oriented toward forming and improving professional competencies. The described technologies can be used in teaching various subjects within the philological cycle. It will help develop a conscious readiness of future language teachers to implement innovative approaches in the school practices of secondary education institutions. The use of innovative technologies helps address educational and developmental tasks, such as activating students' mental activities and implementing individualized learning. These will help to save learning time for further use, ensure controllability and predictability of results, utilize the best practices from worldwide educational experiences, and create conditions for the practical application of the potential abilities of future language teachers. Innovative technologies effectively implement important didactic principles of linguistic education, such as scientific nature, visuality, accessibility, and autonomy

Authors: Anh Trinh Thi Thuy , Anh Trinh Thi Lan , Thanh Nguyen Nghi
Published: November 2023

This study investigates how green tourism affects the Hmong community in Lao Cai province, Vietnam. The results indicate that the environmental and sociocultural advantages of green tourism have a positive and noteworthy influence on the community's understanding of sustainable tourism practices. This increased awareness, in turn, encourages their dedication to sustainable tourism practices. However, the study did not establish a significant link between economic benefits and public perception, implying that the Hmong community places a higher value on cultural heritage conservation than financial gain. These findings underscore the importance of involving local communities in decision-making processes and ensuring that they obtain tangible benefits from participating in sustainable tourism initiatives. This study makes two significant contributions to knowledge. First, it provides a comprehensive understanding of how green tourism impacts local communities, specifically the Hmong community in Vietnam. Second, it highlights the critical role of community participation in sustainable tourism development. Local communities are essential in promoting and maintaining sustainable tourism practices. This research suggests that policymakers involve local communities in decision-making and ensure that they receive tangible benefits from engaging in sustainable tourism practices.

Published: November 2023

Modern technology advancement requires a more extensive data rate to convey information more rapidly than ever. Improved bandwidth can satisfy the need for high-speed transmission demand. In order to achieve significantly increased bandwidth for a high data rate communication, the antenna design at the THz band is essential. The microstrip patch antenna is one of the most prominent antennas for THz band applications such future 5G communication systems and advanced wireless communication system. This paper proposed a triangular patch antenna for THz applications where FR4 is used at the substrate as an insulator and Graphene at the patch as a conductor. Moreover, we improve the performance of the proposed antenna by modifying the shape of the patch and ground (GND) layer. We modify the patch shape by cutting the corner edge of the triangular patch. Moreover, the GND layer is modified with horizontally partial ground. The size of the proposed antenna is set to 160×120 µm2. We analyze the performance of the proposed antenna using CST simulation software. Based on the simulation results, the proposed antenna with a modified patch and GND shape shows wide bandwidth of 1.27 THz and minimal return loss of -33.22 dB at a resonant frequency of 2.28 THz. Additionally, the gain and efficiency of the suggested antenna show good improvement. Therefore, the proposed triangular patch antenna with a modified patch and GND shape is expected to be suitable for high-speed THz applications.
The interplay between auditor rotation and audit opinions: evidence from Republic of Kosovo
Authors: Hoti Arber , Edona Perjuci
Published: November 2023

This study explores the interplay between auditor rotation and audit opinions in the developing economy of Kosovo. There is limited research investigating this dynamic within developing economies, and the findings from established economies present a conflicting picture. The research aims to identify the nature of the relationship between auditor rotation and audit opinions in Kosovo, explore whether auditor rotation leads to more conservative audit opinions, and compare this relationship with trends in more mature economies. The study employs a quantitative research design, leveraging archival data from financial statements and audit reports of companies who published their audit reports with Kosovo Council for Financial Reporting (KCFR) during the period 2019 to 2022. Logistic regression analysis shows a significant positive relationship between auditor rotation and audit opinions in Kosovo, suggesting that auditor rotation might lead to more conservative audit opinions. The results also indicate that these dynamics in Kosovo differ from those in established economies, underscoring the influence of unique contextual factors. The findings carry implications for regulators, auditors, and companies in Kosovo, enriching the ongoing debates on auditor rotation and audit quality. This study calls for more extensive research in this field, considering additional audit quality measures and extending the sample to broader range of entities across different sectors and geographical regions.

Authors: Kaboré Ahmed , Kabore André , Tognon Akossito Hermine , Souahamai Hema Tiemoko Thierry
Published: November 2023

The variability of prevalence rates of attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity (ADHD) in the literature raises questions about its etiology and the factors predisposing to its manifestation. The causes are multidimensional, but the current scientific consensus focuses on genetic predisposition and gene-environment interactions. A previous study estimated its prevalence at 13.74%. In this study, the objective was to determine the factors associated with the occurrence of ADHD in schoolchildren in the city of Ouagadougou. This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, between March and August 2021. The identification of factors associated with ADHD was carried out by employing logistic regression modeling. The significance level was set at 5%. The results of this research allowed us to quantify the association between gender and age in relation to the development of ADHD. The univariate and multivariate statistical analysis allowed us to establish a causal relationship between hereditary and environmental factors and the development of ADHD. ADHD symptoms are as common among school children in Ouagadougou. The use of insecticide, gasoline odor exposure, and poor long treatment were described as risk factors for ADHD. This is an exploratory study that will add to the limited body of knowledge in the scientific literature with respect to child development.
Accounting as a Structuring Governance Mechanism:
Authors: Gelinas Patrice , Baillargeon Lisa
Published: November 2023

This paper seeks to contribute to the debate on how to conceptualise structure and agency in accounting through a longitudinal exploration of the financial statements of the St. Anselm Foundry over almost a century. We argue that linkages between the firm’s information production choices, its governance structure and the socio-economic context in which it operates are better explained as a function of different interacting structural conditions, as mediated through human agency, than with agency theory alone. This argument is consistent with a proposal by Kilfoyle and Richardson (2011), but our analysis expands the demonstration of such dualism from management accounting to financial accounting.
Using a Blended versus Online Course Design for Teaching Intermediate Accounting - an Empirical Study of the Teaching/Learning Environments
Authors: Lillie Richard , Liu Xiang
Published: November 2023

The increasing importance of technology use in instructional design and delivery suggests significant implications for accounting educators and administrators. This study examines the effect of delivering an Intermediate Accounting course in a fully online format as compared with the effect of delivering the same course in a blended, face-to-face format over two semesters. The quasi- experimental design tests whether use of common course materials and instruction offered concurrently in both formats results in comparable learning and performance outcomes. Initial data collection took place in fall quarter 2012. Preliminary analysis suggests the importance of student computer skills and grade point average to performance. No difference in student performance between the two delivery approaches is noted, probably due to small sample size. To build upon fall quarter 2012 findings, the study was extended to provide for additional observations in the same settings in the spring quarter 2013 just completed. Analysis of spring 2013 data shows students in online mode obtained more accounting knowledge than the blended mode. Students aged younger than 29 perceive the technology application more favorably enhanced their learning than others. Students enrolled in the blended setting indicate they are more willing to use the technology than the online setting. Students with different learning styles perform differently and perceive differently about the amount of computer skills enhanced by taking the blended vs. online courses. The findings in this paper show promise of relevance to administrators for future planning and implementation of technology-based instructional design and delivery, for faculty in their development planning, and for educators who seek to develop a better awareness of student performance and learning preferences in each setting.
Do Sin Firms Commit Accounting Sins?
Authors: Liu Hanni , Xu Crystal
Published: November 2023

Social norms deter socially responsible investors from investing in sin firms, i.e., firms that sell unethical products and profit from human vice. Existing literature documents that sin firms are less held by institutional investors and less followed by analysts, and this neglect effect leads to higher expected returns than in other firms. Our study explores the earnings management behavior of sin firms. Our empirical findings suggest that compared to others, sin firms are more likely to report small earrings surprises and small earnings increases, but less likely to report superior earnings. Sin firms’ earnings management behavior is exacerbated by lower non-transient institutional ownership, lower analyst coverage, and greater litigation risks. Additional analyses document that sin firms use both accrual-based management and real activity manipulation to report earnings that just meet earnings thresholds. The overall findings suggest that sin firms’ opportunistic behavior likely increases the information risks and contributes to the documented higher expected returns.

Improving Quality of Information: Does Integrated Reporting matter? Evidence from Sri Lankan Listed Companies
Authors: Bandara Saman , Wijesinghe Nayomi
Published: November 2023

This study examines the information quality of Integrated Reporting (IR) adopted companies compared to non-adopted companies. Information Quality was measured in terms of the decision usefulness approach based on fundamental Qualitative Characteristics (QCs) of financial information. Data were collected through annual reports of listed companies of 26 IR-adopters and 27 non-adopters for 2010 (pre-adoption year) and 2019 (post-adoption year). The results revealed IR-adopters have significantly improved information quality from 2010 to 2019 compared to non-adopters. Also, there is a significant positive relationship between the information quality of IR-adopters with the number of years of experience in IR.

Our novel QCs-based quality measurement index provides numerical measures for evaluating information quality. The study shows that IR has achieved its overall objective of improving information quality in the Sri Lankan context. Thus, it provides moral confidence for the firms expecting to adopt IR to improve their information quality in the future.
Can the WEKA Data Mining Tool be Used in Developing an Economic Growth Model?
Authors: Zamir Zahid B
Published: November 2023

WEKA is a free and open source software program that is written in JAVA™ language and contains GUI for interacting with data files and produces visual results. Although conventional economic theories assert that inflation and economic growth are negatively related, researchers found throughout the last 5 decades using different  models and datasets, in favor and against that conventional beliefs. To help predict the expected economic growth or Inflation using 7 attributes such as: war, totch, pssurp, drelief, inflation, invsh, and growth found in the World Bank  dataset (link was provided above), three models/algorithms and 2 testing options were used to find out the best model for decision support. As far as the Correlation Coefficient or measurement of how well the predicted values from a forecast model "fit" with the real-life data is concerned, Linear regression algorithm seems to predict the expected growth much better than other two algorithms in this study namely ZeroR and REPTree using both 10 fold cross validation as well as 75 percentage split test options.
Developmental Changes of Axonal Excitability: Refractory Period Measurement in Normal Children.
Authors: Nadeem Ahmed S. M. , Alwan Basim M. , Mezaal Mohammad A.
Published: November 2023

Background: “The absolute refractory” period is the time interval during which the nerve fiber is in capable of conducting another impulse after a conditioning stimulus and the determination of the refractory period distribution in a nerve can give a good idea about the characteristics of the conducting fibers constituting that nerve as it reflects their excitability and could be used as a sensitive  indicator for the ability of the nerve fiber to conduct pairs of closely spaced impulses.Methods: The new collision test was used to measure precisely the absolute motor refractory period and the paired shock technique to measure the absolute sensory refractory period in the ulnar nerves of 167 normal infants and children to identify age related changes in the excitability of the nerve fiber membrane.Results: These tests showed that changes in the membrane properties of the fastest and the slowest motor and sensory fibers differ with age. Fastest fibers have more prominent and rapid reduction in their absolute refractory periods (increased excitability) at the successive age groups during the period between 6 months to 6years of life, while the slowest ones have more gradual and prolonged membrane changes (as assessed by the dispersion of the refractory periods)Conclusion: These electrophysological findings point to a period of rapid increment in the nerve fiber diameter, myelin thickness and the possibility of addition of new functioning nerve fibers during the process of growth and development, since each fiber has its characteristic absolute refractory period from birth.
Ovarian antral follicle number and the amount of gonadotropin used in ovarian stimulation in polycystic ovarian patients.
Authors: Sudek Hanan L.
Published: November 2023

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common cause of anovulation, and the number of antral follicles is of great importance in determining ovarian reserve, so identification of patients with diminished ovarian reserve help in choosing individualized and well managed ovulation induction protocol. The aim of the study is to find out if the number of ovarian antral follicles could affect the amount of gonadotropins used in ovarian stimulation in polycystic ovarian patients.Patients and methods: Ninty four infertile polycystic ovaries women, attending the infertility clinic at Baghdad teaching hospital, during the period of November 2005 to October 2006, were compared to 62 control group women who have unexplained infertility. After exact history and examination, ultrasound was done to both groups at cycle day 3 for antral follicle counting. Then ovarian stimulation was started with gonadotropins, and another ultrasound was done on cycle day 13 for mature follicles confirmation.Results: Antral follicle number was found to be significantly higher in patients than control groups (9.98 ± 2.09 vs 5.40±2.02). Age was found to be negatively correlated with antral follicle size and number in patient and control groups. After measuring the number of mature follicles at cycle day 13 it was observed that the antral follicle number was correlating positively and significantly with the number of follicles at cycle day 13, but negatively with the amount of gonadotropin used for ovarian stimulation in patients and control groups.Conclusion: Antral follicles number is significantly higher in polycystic ovary patients and they correlate negatively with age. Antral follicle number is a good predictor of the number of gonadotropin ampouls used for ovarian stimulation.
On the energy budget of quarks and hadrons, their vastly underrated “strong charge,” and the profound impact of Coulomb repulsion on their ground states
Authors: Christodoulou DImitris M. , Kazanas Deosthenes
Published: November 2023

We meta-analyze particle data and properties for those hadrons with measured rest-masses. The results of our study are as follows: (1) the strong-force suppression of the repulsive Coulomb forces between quarks is sufficient to explain the differences between mass deficits in nucleons and pions (and only them), the ground states with the longest known mean lifetimes; (2) unlike mass deficits, the excitations in rest-masses of all particle groups are effectively quantized, but the rules are different in baryons and mesons; (3) the strong field is aware of the extra factor of \(\vartheta_{\rm e}=2\) in the charges \(Q\) of the positively-charged quarks; (4) mass deficits combine contributions proportional to the mass of each valence quark; (5) the scaling factor of these contributions is the same for each quark in each group of particles, provided that the factor \(\vartheta_{\rm e}=2\) is taken into account; (6) besides hypercharge \(Y,\) the much lesser-known "strong charge" \(Q^{\prime}=Y-Q\) is very useful in SU(3) in describing properties of particles located along the right-leaning sides and diagonals of the weight diagrams; (7) strong decays in which \(Q^{\prime}\) is conserved are differentiated from weak decays, even for the same particle; (8) the energy diagrams of (anti)quark transitions indicate the origin of CP violation.

Published: November 2023

The configuration of a radial distribution network is difficult to simplify because it is very complex. This network reconfiguration is used to redesign the configuration of the radial distribution network by opening and closing switches on the distribution network. The feeder of Purwoasri, The feeder of Purwoasri, Rayon Kertosono has 65 buses which cause the Mojokerto area to have a very large loss so it needs to be reconfigured.. The resulting power flow will result in network power losses due to configuration. The reconfiguration process will be repeated until a configuration form that produces the smallest power losses is obtained. The number of feeders and buses on the network will be difficult if done manually and takes a very long time, so solving the problem must use a computer program. Network reconfiguration using the Matlab 2013a program will analyze its power flow using the Newton Raphson method and using the Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) artificial intelligence method. Before reconfiguration, the network experienced losses of 1169,1374 kWatt after reconfiguration experienced losses of 635,7444 kWatt. The results of the reconfiguration can reduce losses of 635,74440 kWatt or 45,6228 % from the previous loss.

Published: November 2023

The Industrial Electronics Practicum is an advanced learning process complementing theoretical knowledge and is mandatory for every student in the Energy Conversion Engineering (TKE) Study Program at Ujung Pandang State Polytechnic (PNUP). Nevertheless, its implementation is often suboptimal due to the lack of practicum modules available in the TKE Laboratory. To address this issue, this research aims to design and create a practicum module for a controlled single-phase rectifier, filling the gap in the TKE Laboratory's offerings. The design carried out in this research begins with thyristor selection, control circuit design, mechanical design, and power circuit design. After the design is carried out, it continues with manufacturing and assembly, tool testing, and data analysis. In the practical module testing, this controlled single-phase rectifier uses half waves, with a resistive load (R). The test results of the module that has been created show that this practical module can operate well and produce an output waveform that can be said to be in accordance with theory.

Introduction. Integrating students with disabilities into schools may present challenges, but the benefits of doing so are significant. By promoting inclusion and equality, improving academic outcomes, developing social skills, enhancing teacher training, and meeting legal obligations, Jordan can create a more inclusive and supportive educational environment for all students. Study participants and methods. The study's goal was to find out the challenges and barriers that exist in the process of integrating students with disabilities into inclusive schools from the perspective of regular teachers who are currently employed in integration schools. Additionally, the study aimed to determine the requirements for successful inclusion of disabled students from the perspective of school principals who are currently employed in these schools. The descriptive-analytical approach, namely self-report research, was used because of its relevance to the study's objectives. It is based on studying the educational phenomenon and describing it as it is. A total of 152 classroom teachers and 47 school administrators from the same schools made up the study's sample. Results. According to the findings, instructors viewed integration barriers as moderate in the integrated schools with a mean of 3.12, and standard deviation of 0.48. One of the most significant challenges to integration is the need for written duties, while sufficient money comes in last with a mean of 2.27 and standard deviation of 1.10. From the perspective of the principles, successful integration entailed a number of advanced conditions. Funding, well-equipped schools, and easy accessibility were cited as the most important factors in successful integration. Practical significance. The practical significance of the study on integrating students with disabilities into schools is its potential to inform decision-making and policy development in order to create more inclusive and supportive educational environments. By identifying the challenges and barriers to integration, decisionmakers can work towards promoting inclusion and equality, improving academic outcomes, developing social skills, enhancing teacher training, and meeting legal obligations. The study's findings emphasize the importance of addressing funding, well-equipped schools, easy accessibility, and providing support for teachers in order to create successful integration programs.

Introduction. Interest in the research topic is associated with the request of university drivers, employers regarding the personal and regulatory resources of today's youth. The ability to set a goal and strive for its implementation, to realistically assess expectations and develop one's potential, reveals one's experiences through the solution of an experimental analysis. The aim of the study was to determine the individual typological characteristics of young people, taking into account their subjective wellbeing, conscious self-regulation and tolerance for uncertainty. We assumed that this or that type is largely due to the development of regulatory-cognitive processes and, in part, a specific set of regulatory-personal properties, as well as personal attitudes towards tolerance for uncertainty. Participants and research methods. The study sample consisted of young students aged 18 to 35 (average age 20.7±3.5 years, N=1435). Techniques were used to diagnose the subjective perception of a person, conscious selfregulation, tolerance/intolerance to uncertainty. Mathematical and statistical data processing includes standardizing, k-means clustering and configuration-frequency analysis of the distribution of selected clusters. Results. Cluster analysis revealed 7 groups of students who differ statistically significantly in all the diagnosed parameters. A comparative analysis of the selected groups was carried out, their psychological characteristics were given. It is established that the manifestation of typological features of subjective well-being is based, on the one hand, on certain structural and functional features of conscious self–regulation, and on the other hand, on the formation of an attitude of tolerance to uncertainty. It is proved that a high level of conscious self-regulation, perseverance and constancy in achieving the goal of activity in psychologically stressful conditions of life are significant factors of subjective well-being, preventing and/or leveling the development of dysfunctional states. It has been proven that a high level of conscious self-regulation, perseverance and sensitivity in the goal of activity (perseverance) in conditions of stressful states of life are identified as sensitive factors of subjective passage, preventing and/or leveling the development of dysfunctional vessels. Practical significance. The presented results of an empirical study clearly demonstrate the possibility of applying a differential typological approach to subjective well-being, allow us to describe the differential aspects of the relationship between subjective well-being, conscious self-regulation, attitudes to tolerance for uncertainty and identify the main directions of practical work with young people in the direction of developing conscious self-regulation and improving their subjective well-being.

Introduction. Soft skills are a factor that positively influences the employment demand of higher education institutions graduates. Formation of soft skills can take place while students obtain higher education, and the optimal environment for this is volunteer activity, including at major international events. Effective development of soft skills results from motivation, educational level, appropriate conditions (participation in the abovementioned events), and from mentoring by teachers and employees of an educational organization, having extensive knowledge, authority and their own soft skills, allowing them to give impetus to the students. In turn, soft skills development in teachers and staff is possible through their motivation and the appropriate conditions, such as improvement of training and professional development programs. Materials and Methods. The authors, using their knowledge and expertise, employed traditional theoretical (analysis and generalization) and private (expert assessments, observation and description) research methods. Results. Successful soft skills development in students occurs during volunteering at major international events and is based on motivation, necessary conditions, and successful mentoring (leadership). To effectively develop soft skills, it is necessary to improve education programs and advanced training programs, as well as create other necessary conditions. Conclusion. It is advisable to supplement education programs and advanced training programs for teachers and staff of higher education organizations with current innovations in the field of working with the young generation and of organizing the volunteer movement, as well as creating practical conditions for teachers to develop their own soft skills. Creating a volunteer register in higher education organizations when integrating information about volunteer experience into presentation papers of recruitment agencies is one of the technical conditions for soft skills development among students.

The research materials were statistical data from 4 forms of state federal reporting for 2021-2022: on admissions and graduations from the higher education system; graduation from the secondary vocational education system; number of employees of organizations by type of economic activity; demand of organizations by type of economic activity. The methods of descriptive statistics, mathematical modeling and comparative data analysis were used. Research Results. The study determined a list of 20 areas and disciplines of higher and secondary vocational education organizations training qualified personnel for the forestry complex, and formed a group of 19 types of economic activities related to the five main areas of forestry complex work. The scope of annual additional personnel demand of enterprises and organizations of the forestry complex of the Arctic and North-West Russia was calculated with the help of macroeconomic methodology for assessing the economy's demand for qualified personnel. The annual demand for personnel with higher education was 3.54%, for mid-level specialists it reached 4.49%, and for skilled workers and employees – 5.41% of the total number of employees with the appropriate level of education working in the forestry industry. The comparative analysis identified entities where personnel demands could be met by graduates from their region and entities needing additional sources, including graduates from other regions. Discussion and Conclusion. Pronounced lack of own personnel with higher education for enterprises and organizations of the forestry complex was identified in Leningrad Oblast, Chukotka, Nenets and YamaloNenets Autonomous Okrugs. Mid-level specialists currently graduate in sufficient numbers, with the exception of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug. In the next two to three years, a significant shortage of qualified workers and employees (more than 90%) is expected in all subjects of the macroregion. A solution to this problem may be targeted training of specialists in other regions, as well as in regions that are well-known educational centers (for example, Tomsk, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk).

Introduction. Environmental problems and climate change are global challenges to mankind, requiring joint efforts for a joint solution. Predictions of climate scientists determine the need for radical changes in the way of life of modern civilization and the search for new approaches to environmental education of the younger generation. The aim of the article is to describe the joint experience of Russian and Kazakh universities in environmental education to form the foundations of environmental competence in an international project and analyze the results obtained. Materials and methods. An interdisciplinary project in English "Environmental Education: an international project on climate problems in the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan" involved 114 students of Petrozavodsk State University and Eurasian National University. The research methodology was based on a comparative analysis of the data obtained through formalized questionnaire surveys of open and closed types, as well as self-assessment and statistical methods. Research results. The experiment revealed positive dynamics in the environmental competence development of students of both universities, similarities and differences in their awareness of the vital importance of environmental issues for the world and their regions of residence. The target values of the experimental groups proved to be statistically significantly higher than those of the control group in their understanding of the seriousness of global warming problems (temp_PetrSU = 5,86, р<0,001; temp_ENU = 2,83, р<0,001), plastic waste recycling (temp_PetrSU = 5,12, р<0,001; temp_ENU = 4,27, р<0,001), forest fires (temp_PETRU = 5,25, р<0,001; temp_ENU = 5,80, р<0,001), droughts and food crisis (temp_PETRU = 5,31, р<0,001; temp_ENU = 5,27, р<0,001). The participants in the international project perceived the dangers of loss of a breathable atmosphere, ozone depletion (temp_PetrSU = 5,47, р<0,001; temp_ENU = 4,57, р<0,001) and starvation, connected with the Earth overpopulation (temp_PetrSU = 5,30, р<0,001; temp_ENU = 5,29, р<0,001) more deeply and seriously. The significant result of the project was the creation of an ecological YouTube channel and the development of a joint solution to overcome the identified environmental problems of the regions. Conclusion. The conducted study confirmed the effectiveness of integrating an environmental project into the content of foreign language teaching to develop students' environmental competence. It contributed to the complex ecological education and formation of ecological culture of young people capable of solving global problems of our time. Recommendations on the dissemination of this experience in environmental education of students of technical and natural-science training areas are offered.

This study aims to study the legal nature of the British mandate over Palestine after World War I, in addition to studying the claims of the Zionist movement regarding its connection to the land of Palestine, thus determining the correct legal concept of the Question of Palestine in accordance with international law. The methodology of the study is the legal analytical and critical method and the Statute approach. In it, the author used Zionist, Jewish, Arab and foreign references. The results showed that the Zionist movement was established to unite the efforts of the Jews in Europe with the aim of establishing a national home for them in Palestine with the help of the colonial European countries under historical and religious arguments that completely contradict the facts and discoveries in Palestine. On the other hand, Britain's goal from the Balfour Declaration was to support the Zionist project in Palestine, thus helping to dismantle the Ottoman Empire and colonize the Arabian Peninsula with the participation of France. In addition, the British Mandate Deed for Palestine was only ratified by the Principal Allied Powers in World War I. Therefore, it did not reflect a real international will and thus was a violation of the provisions of international law.
