In different industries we use different machines and most of the machines are rotary machines. The small fault in machine cause vibrations in machines. These vibrations may cause effect on machine or product produced by machine. So, it is important to study these faults present in the machines. In this paper we are going to discuss fault detection techniques. We are discussing two technique FFT (Fast Fourier Transformation) and Orbital Analysis. In FFT we are getting graphs with respect to frequencies and according to peak frequencies we predict fault while in Orbital Analysis we are getting different orbital shape graph and according to shape we predict fault in machine.
Lecture 1: Introduction to Rhetoric and Communication
Authors: McCarron Gary
Published: July 2021

The lectures in this series open with general comments about rhetoric, rhetorical questions, moral problems, and issues relating to the connections between emotions and persuasion. Even though persuasion may be a foundation point of rhetoric, beginning with Henry Johnstone’s arguments, the opening lecture teases out why rhetoric should be understood more broadly and positions upcoming lectures in the realm of scholars’ rhetorical thoughts both ancient and present.
Les cours dans cette série commencent par des commentaires généraux sur la rhétorique, sur les questions rhétoriques, sur les problèmes moraux, et sur les rapports entre émotions et persuasion. Même si la persuasion peut être à la base de la rhétorique, le premier cours, en commençant par les arguments de Henry Johnstone, indique pourquoi il vaudrait mieux comprendre la rhétorique dans un sens plus large et situe les cours à venir dans le contexte de réflexions sur la rhétorique provenant de penseurs anciens et modernes.

Authors: Yadav Vaishnavi
Published: July 2021

The education system in the health care profession is evolving with an increase in knowledge and tremendous advances in technology as per the emerging needs of society. The trend in Physiotherapy education should also change as our knowledge base changes and as the needs, or the perceived needs, of patients, medical practitioners, clinician physiotherapists, and society change. This change occurs through planning and accepting the concept of the dynamic nature of the curriculum. Competence-based education (CBE) is pertinent to this shift and is widely implemented in various universities and institutions overseas. Physiotherapy professional helps to restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability. The development of competent health care professionals is the need of an hour, to achieve this curriculum should be well structured with the attainment of the desired competency as the final goal. Competence-based education encompasses identification of competency, components of competency, teaching-learning methods, vigorous assessment tools, and proper planning for implementation by the institution. Comprehensive examination, functional impairments, disability evaluation, and functional diagnosis are the basic required competencies in Physiotherapy Undergraduate. Thus the objective of this review is to provide a brief idea about its significance in physiotherapy schools and currently how the implementation is under process at Physiotherapy Institutions under Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences (DMIMS) an autonomous institute in Maharashtra, India.
A COMPREHENSIVE PULMONARY REHABILITATION PROGRAM FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF POSTTUBERCULOSIS PNEUMOTHORAX: A CASE STUDY
Authors: Yadav Vaishnavi
Published: July 2021

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a contagious disease of the lung caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis. The disease is curable and preventable, but its sequelae induce structural lung damage, physiological dysfunction resulting in disability, respiratory distress, and decreased exercise capacity affecting ADLs. Pneumothorax is considered to be a major complication of TB among all the known sequelae. In the present case, the patient complained of moderate dyspnea, chest pressure, and chest pain. Based on chest radiography and a previous diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis, the patient was diagnosed with secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP). The pneumothorax was relieved by medical intervention, i.e. by intercostal drainage, but our goal was to increase the ventilation and oxygenation of the lungs, improve airways hygiene, improve the exercise tolerance and minimize the work of breathing so that the patient can go back to his normal day-to-day activities without any trouble. A comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation plan was structured to suit the patient's goal and was implemented and routinely followed for 1 month. It included a range of interventions like breathing exercises, airway clearance techniques, physical mobility exercises, and posture retraining. The patient demonstrated significant functional improvement in aerobic capacity, endurance, exercise tolerance capacity, and increased shoulder joint mobility. In the present case, it has also been validated that medical management anchored with Pulmonary Rehabilitation will help in gaining better outcomes.

Numerical simulation of the movement behavior of floating structures
Authors: Schmidt Wolfgang , Strangfeld Peter , Volker Eduard , Sliavin Yaraslau
Published: August 2021

The sea level is rising, and floods threaten the infrastructure all over the world; therefore, we should identify the risks for envelops of buildings and settlements. The risks arise due to the new boundary conditions and a direct contact between the water flows in motion. A floating construction site requires a manifold adaptation of structures. The paper demonstrates the effect of water waves on floating houses built on abandoned open pit mines. Pictures of destroyed accessways to such properties have proven the need to study the effect of water waves on floating houses. In order to minimize the time and spending on experimental activities, some of the field studies should be replaced by numerical simulations using modern computing equipment and ANSYS FLUENT, ANSYS MECHANICAL FSI, and ANSYS AQWA software. The results can be validated using a hydraulic testing channel (15 x 5 m), a floating platform near the harbor of Lake Gro r schener See and floating houses in the Lusatian Lakeland. The results demonstrate the wave forces acting on the structures of the pontoons. New connection elements, adapted versions of materials and structures have been developed, water waves are damped, and options for the wave energy use have been analyzed.
Problems of sustainable development. Real estate development after the pandemic (based on the materials of the Gaidar Forum - 2021)
Authors: Yas'kova Natal'ya , Grabovyy Petr
Published: August 2021

We quote Lenin more and more often and recall Stalin realizing that it is impossible to lead the humanity to happiness “with an iron hand". By speeding up and slowing down, stumbling, and getting up, deluding and enlightening, it must realize: happiness is development, devotion to the good, the love and the joy of understanding Creator's ideas!!!

A participant of the Gaidar Forum - 2021

Recent development trends are formed under the influence of multiple factors. They move in different directions and make completely unexpected turns, adjusting standard settings and expectations of the population. Meanwhile, the rap­id development of anthropology, futurology, information modeling against the background of the effective and timely implementation of state support measures, international community's efforts to promote valuation technologies of sus­tainable development, the expansion of “green” financing and the demand to impose social responsibility on large busi­nesses allows to assume that all sectors of the national economy, including real estate and construction, will be ex­posed not only to digital transformation, technological upgrade, institutional and socio-economic reboot, but also to the re-evaluation of efficiency criteria of business models. In this regard, the implementation of the requirements of the Na­tional Project “Housing and Urban Environment” is complicated not only due to the budget constraints, the decline in production, the outflow of migrants due to the pandemic, but also due to the need to significantly reconsider the mod­el of economic development. It is necessary to restructure not only the industrial and infrastructure framework of capital funds, but also to develop fundamentally new approaches to the management of the life cycle of real estate. The grow­ing singularity of economic processes forces us to make flexible decisions and create different types of real estate with regard for emerging cultural and anthropological preferences. At the same time, information and construction process­es have already merged together within the framework of the construction industry that creates new items of real estate and capitalizes the existing ones. Digital design, acting together with new investment mechanisms, generates a promis­ing model for the accelerated implementation of design and construction cycles. The Internet of Things creates not only “smart homes”, but also “smart cities” and “smart agglomerations”. The “New Normality” will trigger systemic changes in real estate management in order to provide it with self-optimizing properties of sustainable development, a new cul­ture of efficiency, the implementation of principles of “Economics of Trust” and interaction with development institutions, as well as the accelerated introduction of environmental-information technologies and preventive mechanisms used to resolve the contradictions arising between construction process participants.

BEATLES E ARTE: REFLEXÕES SOBRE A CANÇÃO SHE’S LEAVING HOME PELA PERSPECTIVA TEÓRICA FRANKFURTIANA
Authors: Pfeil Aline Ferreira
Published: August 2021

O cenário de mudanças científicas, tecnológicas, culturais e musicais dos anos de 1960 contribuiu para o desenvolvimento da indústria fonográfica, disponibilizando às massas uma diversidade de bens de consumo. Não obstante a música sirva como objeto de entretenimento, estuda-se um produto da cultura também enquanto mediador da sociedade, a fim de compreender sua atuação social. Neste sentido, toma-se como exemplo e objeto de estudo a banda The Beatles: um fenômeno pop na década de 1960 que pavimentou o caminho para as novas bandas que surgiram nos anos posteriores. O presente artigo é uma adaptação da monografia de conclusão do curso de Comunicação Social - Jornalismo, sob a mesma temática, e tem como objetivo analisar a canção She’s Leaving Home, dos Beatles, enquanto produto cultural. O estudo pretende discutir os atributos artísticos incorporados na faixa 06 do álbum Sgt. Pepper’s pela perspectiva teórica frankfurtiana e relacionar a composição com o cenário social da década de 1960.
PERTENCIMENTOS, IDENTIDADES E NARRATIVAS - O CASO DE PRECIOSA E A PESQUISA COM OS COTIDIANOS

Published: August 2021

O presente texto pretende apresentar reflexões sobre as pesquisas com os cotidianos (ALVES, 2001) e como estas redes educativas se tecem rizomaticamente com demais conceitos – como personagens conceituais (DELEUZE, GUATTARI, 1992); pertencimento (SOUSA, 2010) e identidades –, para pensar de que maneiras se criam currículos escolares. Conversando com o filme Preciosa (2009) como um filme dos movimentos dos cinemas negros (CARVALHO, 2005) encontramos algumas oportunidades para tecer currículos que debatam as questões raciais, como define a lei 10639/03 (BRASIL, 2003), mas indo além do seu caráter de obrigatoriedade. A experiência de Preciosa nos permite pensar como as subjetividades da questão racial estão presentes em nossos cotidianos, o que permite tornar tal discussão ainda mais contundente para os currículos escolares.

Published: August 2021

The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze the influence of human resources competencies and entrepreneurial characteristics on the performance of the small-medium-sized food industry with the intervening variable of competitive advantage. This research is verification in nature, basically wants to test the truth of a hypothesis which is carried out through data collection in the field. The unit of analysis in this research is the food SMIs (Small and Medium Industries) actors in Jambi Province. The data were obtained through distributing questionnaires to 378 SMIs food entrepreneurs. The data analysis used was quantitative analysis using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The analysis results concluded that the respondents' responses to the variables of human resources competence, entrepreneurial characteristics, competitive advantage, and SMIs performance obtained the average number included in the good scale range. The variables of human resources competency, entrepreneurial characteristics, competitive advantage significantly influence the performance of food SMIs in Jambi Province, either partially or simultaneously. Human resources competency and entrepreneurial characteristics variables have a significant indirect effect on SMIs performance through the intervening variable of competitive advantage. The entrepreneurial characteristics variable is the dominant variable affecting the SMIs performance. The research model by adding the competitive advantage variable as an intervening variable resulted in a better effect on the SMIs performance.

Authors: Wilantari Regina Niken , Afriani Imro'atul Husna
Published: August 2021

This research is based on the magnitude of the influence of monetary and fiscal aspects, namely the money supply, exchange rates, government spending, and taxes on the business cycle in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the effect of the connection between the monetary and fiscal policy mix on the business cycle in Indonesia. For analysis purposes, secondary data was used in the form of time-series data from 1970–2017. The method used is the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) to see long-term and short-term relationships. In the estimation results, it is found that in the long-term period, the monetary variables (money supply and exchange rates) and fiscal variables (government expenditures and taxes) have a significant positive effect on the business cycle in Indonesia.In contrast, the monetary variables that have a significant effect in the short-term period are only the amount variable money supply. There are no fiscal variables that have a significant effect on the business cycle in Indonesia. The interaction of monetary and fiscal policies is still effectively implemented in Indonesia.

Published: August 2021

Waste management shares the same purposes with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) target in 2030. This program encourages all countries to substantially reduce waste through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse its waste so that the sustainability of development can be achieved. The success rate of sustainable waste management is largely determined by the participation and behavior of people, households, and citizens in managing their waste. This study analyzes socio-economic factors and the role of social capital in affecting households' willingness to participate in waste management in West Sumatra’s urban areas. This study used National Socio-Economic Survey data in the Social Resilience module. The sample in this study is 1011 households spread across the urban areas of West Sumatra. Using logistic regression, this study found that per capita household expenditure, homeownership status, knowledge, and household involvement in mutual cooperation activities to clean up their environment significantly affect the probability of households participating in urban waste management. The relevant policy, such as implementing the 3R concept, namely reduce, reuse, and recycling is needed for the Sustainable Development Goals to be achieved.

Published: August 2021

En el presente trabajo, en torno a la contingencia sanitaria por el Covid 19 que ha obligado a las instituciones educativas a impartir clases en el modelo de educación a distancia, buscamos saber cuál es la Representación Social de la misma, partiendo de la teoría de la Representación Social de Moscovici (1961), entre 100 estudiantes universitarios de la zona oriente del Estado de México, en México. Para ello, recurrimos al modelo de análisis Prototípico y Categorial de Representación Social, de Pierre Vergés (1994). Se encontró que existen, en general, elementos semánticos negativos y positivos hacia dicho fenómeno, identificados en los núcleos periféricos de la Representación Social y que, además, el Estrés y las malas o mínimas condiciones para tener acceso a este tipo de educación resultan ser los elementos del núcleo principal de la Representación Social.
SARS CoV-2 Vaccines, Remdesivir and Favipiravir Might Have Led to SARS CoV-2 B.1.617 Variants: India First but We Can Intervene
Authors: Kelleni Mina
Published: August 2021

In the first version, I have made a mistake SARS COV-2 Vaccines have not
shared in development of the original SARS CoV-2 B.1.617 variants in
India (yet they might have shared in the evolution of the more virulent
delta plus variant). I have updated the manuscript, thanks to Authorea,
and in the updated versions Remdesivir, Favipiravir and Dexamethasone
are suggested as potential crucial causes that led to B.1.617 variants
in India and elsewhere. Moreover, SARS CoV-2 mass vaccination programs
and the unfortunately anticipated Molnupiravir are suggested to share in
evolution of potentially more virulent variants e.g. delta plus and the
catastrophic Indian surge of mortality is also anticipated to be
repeated elsewhere unless some prompt interventions are considered.

A complete analytical solution to the integro-differential model describing the nucleation and evolution of ellipsoidal particles
Authors: Nikishina Margarita , Alexandrov Dmitri
Published: July 2021

In this paper, a complete analytical solution to the
integro-differential model describing the nucleation and growth of
ellipsoidal crystals in a supersaturated solution is obtained. The
asymptotic solution of the model equations is constructed using the
saddle-point method to evaluate the Laplace-type integral. Numerical
simulations carried out for physical parameters of real solutions show
that the first four terms of the asymptotic series give a convergent
solution. The developed theory was compared with the experimental data
on desupersaturation kinetics in proteins. It is shown that the theory
and experiments are in good agreement.
High-throughput phenotyping reveals differential transpiration behavior within the banana wild relatives highlighting diversity in drought tolerance

Published: August 2021

Crop wild relatives, the closely related species of crops, may harbor
potentially important sources of new allelic diversity for (a)biotic
tolerance or resistance. However, to date wild diversity is only poorly
characterized and evaluated. Banana has a large wild diversity but only
a narrow proportion is currently used in breeding programs. The main
objective of this work was to evaluate genotype-dependent transpiration
responses in relation to the environment. By applying continuous
high-throughput phenotyping, we were able to construct genotype-specific
transpiration response models in relation to light, VPD and soil water
potential. We characterized and evaluated 6 (sub)species and discerned
four phenotypic clusters. Significant differences were observed in leaf
area, cumulative transpiration and transpiration efficiency. We
confirmed a general stomatal-driven ‘isohydric’ drought avoidance
behavior, but discovered genotypic differences in the onset and
intensity of stomatal closure. We pinpointed crucial genotype specific
environmental conditions when drought avoidance mechanisms were
initiated and when stress kicked in. Differences between (sub)species
were more pronounced under certain environmental conditions,
illustrating the need for high-throughput dynamic phenotyping, modelling
and validation. We conclude that the banana wild relatives contain
useful drought tolerance traits, emphasizing the importance of their
conservation and potential for use in breeding programs.

Published: August 2021

Objectives

To evaluate tooth movement, orofacial pain, and leptin, interleukin (IL)–1β, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)–α cytokine levels in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) during orthodontic treatment in obese adolescents.

Materials and Methods

Participants included adolescent patients aged 12–18 years: group 1, obese (n = 30), and group 2, nonobese controls (n = 30). They were evaluated before (T0) and after 1 hour (T1), 24 hours (T2), and 1 week (T3) of fixed appliance bonding. Periodontal examination (T0), collection of GCF (T1, T2, T3), and evaluation of Little's irregularity index (T0, T3) were performed, and a visual analog scale was used to measure pain (T1, T2, T3). Evaluation of IL-1β, TNF-α, and leptin cytokines was performed using a Luminex assay. Mann-Whitney and t-tests were used for intergroup comparisons, and a generalized estimating equation and cluster analyses were used for comparisons among observation times (P < .05).

Results

The obese group had a higher prevalence of probing depth of ≥4 mm and bleeding on probing. Orthodontic tooth movement was similar in both groups. Peak of pain was at T2 in both groups and was higher in the obese patients. TNF-α showed a slight increase at T1, followed by a gradual decrease at T2 and T3 in both groups. The obese group had a higher concentration of IL-1β before and during orthodontic treatment. There was no difference in tooth movement between obese and control patients during the first week of orthodontic treatment.

Conclusions

Obese adolescents had a greater subjective report of orofacial pain after 24 hours of orthodontic treatment and higher concentrations of IL-1β proinflammatory cytokine before and during tooth movement as compared with nonobese control adolescents.

Bariatric surgeries induce weight loss which is
associated with an improvement in hepatic steatosis and reduction in hepatic
glucose production. It is not clear whether these outcomes are entirely due to
weight-loss, or whether the new anatomy imposed by the surgery contributes to
the improvement in the metabolic function of the liver. We performed vertical
sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) on obese mice provided with a high-fat high-sucrose
diet, and compared them to diet and weight-matched sham-operated mice (WMS). 40
days after surgery, VSG-operated mice displayed lesser hepatic steatosis
compared to WMS. By measuring the fasting glucose and insulin levels in the
blood vessels feeding and draining the liver we showed directly that hepatic
glucose production was suppressed after VSG. Insulin levels were elevated in
the portal vein, and hepatic insulin clearance was elevated in VSG-operated
mice. The hepatic expression of genes associated with insulin clearance was
upregulated. We repeated the experiment in lean mice and observed that portal
insulin and glucagon are elevated, but only insulin clearance is increased in
VSG-operated mice. In conclusion, direct measurement of glucose and insulin in the
blood entering and leaving the liver shows that VSG affects glucose and insulin
metabolism through weight-loss and diet-independent mechanisms.

Authors: Blomquist Jens Erik , Berglund Kerstin
Published: July 2021

Two dates (early, normal) for application and incorporation of structure lime to clay soil were examined at four field sites, to test whether early liming had more favourable effects on aggregate stability. Aggregate size distribution measurements revealed a finer tilth at the early liming date (20 August) than the normal date (14 September). Aggregate stability estimated one year later, using as a proxy turbidity in leachate from 2–5 mm aggregates subjected to two simulated rainfall events, was significantly improved (11% lower turbidity) with early compared with normal liming date. Three years after structure liming, soil structural stability measurements on lysimeters (15 cm high, inner diameter 18 cm) subjected to repeated simulated rainfall events showed no significant differences in turbidity in leachate between the early and normal liming dates. However, there was a strong interaction between liming date and site indicating different reactions at different sites. Our results suggest that early spreading and incorporation can improve the success of structure liming, but only if soil conditions are favourable.

The purpose of our research is a definition systems practices and issues of psychological counseling to overcome life crises. The methodological base is formed on sociological and statistical methods of intelligence, as well as on a systematic analysis of practices and issues of overcoming life crises. 480 practical psychologists (Ukraine) took part in the sociological survey on the Google-forms platform. The understanding of features and possibilities of psychological counseling as an inclusive practice aimed at helping clients to understand their true "I" is highlighted; achieve authenticity; achieve competitiveness and transparency. Ethical and trans model principles of counseling (focus on the person and acceptance of the problem, respect and delegation of empathy, parity and trust in the client's understanding of himself and the world, specificity (attractiveness and personalization, objectivity and subjectivity), optimism and focus on development of the client as a person, partner and professional). It is proved that the development of personal meaning and life values involves life-planning, development of life strategies that would help achieve the goal and overcome internal and external barriers.
Mediation Effects of Internal Financial Decisions and Company Performance on the Relationship of Macroeconomic Factors and Market Reactions
Authors: Indarto Indarto , Santoso Djoko
Published: August 2021

This study examines the effect of macroeconomic factors on investor reactions in the capital market with internal financial decisions and company performance as the intervening variables. Previous studies examined only the effect of macroeconomic factors on direct market reactions. The sample of this research are manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was tested using SmartPLS. This study concludes that financial decisions and company performance are not the intervening variables between macroeconomic factors and market reactions. Macroeconomic factors do not affect the company's internal financial decisions and company performance but the market reaction. Meanwhile, the company's internal financial decisions have no effect on the company's performance and market reaction. The company's performance affects the market reaction. The results of this study prove that investors are very concerned about macroeconomic factors in making investment decisions. The dynamics of macroeconomic factors directly influence investment decisions in the capital market.
Expressions of Criticality in Expert and Student Writing: A Corpus Contrastive Analysis of Literature Reviews
Authors: Tarmizi Muna Liyana Binti Mohamad , Aziz Hussin Anealka
Published: August 2021

Literature review in academic writing plays an integral role in demonstrating writers’ knowledge about a field of study as well as in informing the writers of influential researchers and research groups in the field. More importantly, writers are expected to critically analyze previous studies related to their topic. Despite its importance to the academic text, student writers find it challenging to establish a critical stance and to provide evaluative judgment when reviewing the literature. This paper presents a contrastive analysis of student and expert writers’ expressions of criticality in literature review sections of 8 applied linguistics master theses from UiTM (a Malaysian public university) and 62 literature reviews of research journal articles from a similar field (i.e., Language and Communication, English for Academic Purposes and Applied Linguistics). Corpus techniques are used to identify the most common expressions of criticality used by these two groups of writers. The corpus was analyzed using detailed consistency analysis and concordance software from WordSmith Tools (Scott, 2012). Findings revealed that student writers prefer to use hedges and boosters to express criticality and the evaluations they make tend to sound more reporting rather than analyzing and synthesizing the resources critically. Results from this study are beneficial for constructing pedagogical instructions and guidelines for student writers in their critical analysis of the literature review.
Analysing Morphological Errors in ESL Graduating Students’ Writing based on Surface Structure Taxonomy

Empirical studies have examined errors committed by ESL learners at different levels of study in terms of its inconsistency with the standard form of English grammar rules in general. This study, on the other hand, looked into the errors in the English morphological system of a language that deals with the minimal units of linguistic form and meaning. By understanding the errors from the morphological perspective, instructors may also be able to figure out the specific causal factors that can help devise their methods and approach to teaching. As the English language performance of the graduates in this country has been publicly lamented by employers, this study focused on the writing products of graduating students to see the common errors made and to understand the interfering factors so that any intervention initiatives to improve their English language proficiency can be objectively proposed. The data were procured from a mock writing exit test of 60 graduating students from a public university. The Theory Taxonomy of Dulay or Surface Structure Taxonomy framework was used for data analysis. The data were treated quantitatively in terms of frequency counts of errors occurred in each category. The findings indicate that the errors were prevalent in the Omission category, followed by Addition, Misformation and Misordering. This has significant pedagogical implications on developing intervention or remedial programmes for graduating students.
Methodological features of the use of hand motor actions in the correction of preschool children’s hand disorders ("Ant" stand)
Authors: Kantarzhi Vitaliy
Published: August 2021

Craft therapy (or ergotherapy) in a physical rehabilitation of children with musculoskeletal system disorders has a great importance both as a method of overcoming existing motor disorders and as the basis for the future successful socialization of these children. In the available literature, the issues of craft therapy use in combination with physical education of pre-schoolers in various institutions of preschool education are insufficiently and non-systematically covered. This makes this article relevant. The article discusses the methodological possibilities of using the author's work simulator the "Ant" for the correction of hand dysfunctions of pre-schoolers by means of physical education and craft therapy. The main technical characteristics of the simulator and the features of its manufacture are presented. The characteristics of the "Ant" versatility and its multifunctionality are given, which ensures the success of its use in a kindergarten of any kind. The properties of the "Ant" stand for improving the psychophysical development of pre-schoolers are listed. The formulated methods of using the “Ant” simulator and the methodological techniques for correcting the main hand functions of the pre-schoolers (tested in the process of the ascertaining experiment) have a particular value. The main methods included the ones as follows: game stimulation, objectivity (subject-manipulative activity), instrumental logic, hand-eye coordination, an individually differentiated approach to the correction of hand disorders of children by means of physical education and craft therapy. Each of the listed methods includes a number of methodological techniques that increase the effectiveness of corrective instrumental-subject manipulations. The prospects of further research in this area are seen in the elaboration of new work simulators for preschool children suffering from disorders of the musculoskeletal system alongside the creation of the necessary methodological support for their effective use.

The issue of gender equality as an equal treatment of all, regardless of social or other circumstances, is important for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 and the implementation of a number of international legal instruments to combat gender discrimination. The study aims to characterize the state of gender inequality in Ukraine and outline possible ways to overcome this phenomenon through the use of political, legal, socio-practical and educational measures. It is carried out using a systematic analysis of international and domestic indicators of gender inequality that constitute the methodological basis for establishing the level of gender inequality, as well as regulatory analysis of documents adopted by international and domestic organizations. The undertaken analysis demonstrates that Ukraine has an extensive legal framework designed to ensure equal rights and opportunities for men and women, address gender discrimination, and harmonize Ukrainian and international gender policies. At the same time, the gender equality indicators (Gender Inequality Index used by the UN; Gender Gap Index used by the World Economic Forum), the results of sociological research (World Values Survey; use of domestic work; leisure practices) evidence that the issues of gender inequality, gender asymmetry and gender stereotypes are unresolved and require the introduction of institutional mechanisms to ensure equality. Such mechanisms could include: legal expertise, gender quotas, gender budgeting, work with local communities and social service providers, ensuring gender sensitivity of services, including social ones, formation of gender-based competence, implementation of promotional work, introduction of gender approaches in educational institutions.
