Do board of directors’ characteristics and executive remuneration impact financial reporting quality? A quantitative analysis of the Nordic manufacturing sector
Authors: Hundal Shab , Eskola Anne , Troudi Maroua
Published: November 2022

The current paper aims to analyze the effects of corporate boards of directors’ characteristics, executive remuneration, and several corporate governance characteristics of the manufacturing firms in three Nordic nations (Finland, Sweden, and Denmark) on the quality of financial information, measured by total discretionary accruals (measured by both balance sheet, and cash flow method). The extant literature underpins that boards of directors’ characteristics, executive remuneration, and corporate governance characteristics do affect the quality of financial reporting. Nonetheless, there is a paucity of studies that theorize and explore linkages amongst the above-mentioned determinants to explore their effects on financial reporting quality. The current study uses discretionary accruals as the proxy of financial reporting quality. A higher (lower) level of total discretionary accruals implies a lower (higher) quality of financial reporting. The analysis has been performed based on firm-level unbalanced pooled secondary data of 88 publicly listed firms (698 firm-years) in the manufacturing sector in Finland, Sweden, and Denmark for the period 2013–2020. The results indicate that the ratio of performance remuneration to fixed remuneration of chief executive officers (CEOs) as well as that of executive board members, the experience of board members, and the number of directorship positions that are held by a firm’s board members in other firms (the phenomenon of multiple directorships) adversely affect the quality of financial data. However, the level of education of the board members, board size, and firm size favorably affects the financial reporting quality.

Published: November 2022

Background: Metronomic chemotherapy (MC) is based on chronic
administration of chemotherapeutic agents at minimally toxic doses
without prolonged drug-free breaks. MC has a multitargeted action of
tumor angiogenesis inhibition and anticancer immune response stimulation
and may also directly affect tumor cells to induce tumor dormancy. At
our institute, MC has been introduced to treat patients with
refractory/relapsed pediatric tumors. Methods: We retrospectively
analyzed the data of pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory solid
tumors who received treatment, including low-dose continuous
administration of anti-cancer drugs. Results: Of the 18 patients, the
disease statuses at the initiation of MC were complete remission (
n = 2), partial remission/stable disease ( n = 5), and
progressive disease ( n = 11). The overall survival rate was 61%
at 12 months and 34% at 24 months, and the progression-free survival
rate was 21% at 12 and 24 months. Eleven of 18 patients, with tumor
stabilization or maintained remission/stable disease, showed certain
advantages in terms of overall survival rate. Even if limited to
progressive disease, the survival time of responders was prolonged
compared to non-responders (median 19.4 months vs. 4.7 months, P
= 0.012). Conclusion: Approximately half of the patients demonstrated
temporal tumor stabilization and improved survival time, although most
patients had progressive disease, and MC was administered as palliative
therapy. Large-scale studies on pediatric MC are rare; however, previous
reports and the present study support the conclusion that MC has the
potential to play an important role in pediatric cancer treatment during
the advanced stage, both in terms of prolonging life and maintaining
quality of life.
Stomatal dynamics: a modeling study revisiting miscellaneous experimental phenomena
Authors: Cong Xue , Li Sien , Hu Dan
Published: November 2022

Stomata are the key nodes linking photosynthesis and transpiration. By
regulating the opening degree of stomata, plants successively achieve
the balance between water loss and carbon dioxide acquisition. The
dynamic behavior of stomata is an important cornerstone of plant
adaptability. Though there have been miscellaneous experimental results
on stomata and their constituent cells, the guard cells and the
subsidiary cells, current theory of stomata regulation is far from clear
and unified. In this work, we develop an integrated model to describe
the stomatal dynamics of seed plants based on existing experimental
results. The model includes three parts: 1) a passive mechanical model
of the stomatal aperture as a bivariate function of the guard-cell and
the subsidiary-cell turgor pressures; 2) an active regulation model with
a targeted ion-content in guard cells as a function of their water
potential; and 3) a dynamical model for the movement of potassium ions
and water content. Our model has been used to reproduce different
experimental phenomena semi and stomatal responses to environment
conditions.
Rosetta Branch conveyance capacity and rehabilitation scenarios
Authors: Mohamed Motaz , Badwaey Neveen , sersawy Hossam El , Farouk Elzahrey
Published: November 2022

River networks are considered as conduits of variable conveyance flow
from an engineering perspective. Alluvial channel networks alter their
planform, and extent over time. The main objective of the research is to
estimate the maximum conveyance capacity of the Rosetta branch of the
Nile River in Egypt. A two-dimensional numerical model was used to
evaluate the morphological and hydrological changes that occurred during
a period of 17 years from the year 2003 to 2020 in the branch using
different flow scenarios. The results show a prevailing deposition trend
along the branch leading to a reduction in the maximum conveyance
capacity. Three rehabilitation scenarios were proposed to increase the
maximum conveyance capacity. Each scenario was evaluated by assessing
its impact on the conveyance capacity, surface water elevation, and
inundated land area. The proposed rehabilitation scenarios increased the
maximum conveyance capacity and reduced inundated land area, but lowered
the surface water elevation.
Enzymatic hydrolysis and detection of 3-Monochloropropane-1,2-diol esters
Authors: fang ming
Published: November 2022

There are more and more studies on the detection method of
3-chloro-1,2-propanediol fatty acid esters (3-MCPD esters) at present.
By comparing these methods for the determination of 3-MCPD esters.
Indirect methods, which determine total amount of 3-MCPD after
hydrolysis of the esters, have an advantage over direct methods. The
existing indirect methods, however, may yield unreliable results or
require long hours of alkaline methanolysis. In contrast, the Indirect
enzymatic hydrolysis method has mild conditions and more accurate
results. In this study, we developed a reliable and rapid indirect
method for determinations of 3-MCPD esters. 3-MCPD esters was
enzymatized to 3-MCPD by indirect enzymatic hydrolysis method, and the
conditions of enzymatic hydrolysis were optimized, the content of 3-MCPD
after enzymatic hydrolysis was detected by gas chromatography-mass
spectrometry (GC-MS) and the yield was calculated. Finally, the optimum
conditions for enzymatic hydrolysis of 3-MCPD esters were determined.
According to the optimal enzymatic hydrolysis condition, the contents of
3-MCPD esters in four food oils were determined. The method is simple
and sensitive, and can meet the requirement of 3-MCPD esters detection
in general oils.

Published: November 2022

Over six million individuals have died as a result of the infection with
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) that causes
Covid-19. The first COVID-19 vaccines were introduced to the public in
2020 through emergency authorizations. This study aims to uncover the
fears and misconceptions behind the hesitation or refusal of taking the
COVID-19 vaccine in Syria. Methods: Through a nationwide cross-sectional
study, a convenience sample of 10006 participants who were at least 18
years old and living in Syria participated in a validated questionnaire
during the period between January and May 2022 Results: The majority of
recruited individuals were female (n= 6048; 60.4%) from the (18-24) age
group (n= 5908; 59%). We recorded 5811 (58%) participants who still
have fears and anxieties about the COVID-19 vaccine. The main concerns
about vaccines were the rapid development of vaccines (41.4%), fears of
blood clots (37.9%), the fears of common side effects (35.2%), and
allergic reactions (26.5%). Conclusion: The COVID-19 vaccine is
considered the most promising measure for controlling the spread of
infection. The success of this policy will depend on the rate of global
acceptance of the vaccine. High variability in vaccine acceptance and
high vaccine hesitancy can affect the efforts to terminate the COVID-19
pandemic. Addressing the barriers associated with the acceptance of
COVID-19 vaccination will be the cornerstone
to achieving maximum vaccination coverage. The most common reasons
behind refusing the vaccine in Syria were fear of side effects, followed
by fears, general concerns, manufacturing-related reasons, and
conspiracy belief
A data-driven model for endoplasmic reticulum membrane compartmentalization in budding yeast cells
Authors: Laadhari Aymen , Barral Yves , Székely Gabor
Published: November 2022

We present a framework to model and provide numerical evidence for
compartmentalization in the yeast endoplasmic reticulum. Measurement
data is collected and an optimal control problem is formulated as a
regularized inverse problem. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt
in the literature to introduce a PDE-constrained optimization
formulation to study the kinetics of fluorescently labeled molecules in
budding yeast. Optimality conditions are derived and a gradient descent
algorithm allows accurate estimation of unknown key parameters in
different cellular compartments. For the first time, the numerical
results support the barrier index theory suggesting the presence of a
physical diffusion barrier that compartmentalizes the endoplasmic
reticulum by limiting protein exchange between the mother and its
growing bud. We report several numerical experiments on real data and
geometry, with the aim of illustrating the accuracy and efficiency of
the method. Furthermore, a relationship between the size ratio of mother
and bud compartments and the barrier index ratio is provided.
Short-term responses of root exudation C and functional traits to drought of five temperate tree species
Authors: Lv Chunhua , Wang Chuankuan , Li Yiling , Zhou Zhenghu
Published: November 2022

Plant fine root exudation carbon (C) and mycorrhizal colonization are
two critical “outsourcing” strategies for water and nutrient
exploitation. Quantifying the plasticity of multiple fine root traits
under water stress is important for understanding plant adaptations to
drought. Here, we carried out a short-term rainfall exclusion experiment
in a common garden with five temperate tree species in northeast China,
and quantified the co-variation of root exudation C, mycorrhizal
colonization, and four morphological and four chemical traits in
response to drought. Root exudation C was positively correlated with
“fast” root morphological traits (specific root length and area), but
negatively correlated with “slow” ones (root diameter and tissue
density). Percentage of mycorrhizal colonization decreased as increasing
root non-structural carbon concentration, but was weakly correlated with
the “fast-slow” morphological traits. Drought increased root diameter,
tissue density, nitrogen concentration, exudation C, and mycorrhizal
colonization, but decreased non-structural carbon concentration, and
specific root length and area. Our findings suggest that fine roots
investment in rhizosphere microorganisms through exudation C, together
with fungal collaboration and “fast-slow” gradient would encompass a
whole root economics space. Drought promotes “slow” root traits for
hydraulic safety, but increases root resource acquisition by
“outsourcing” processes, i.e., increased C investments in rhizosphere
microbes (through root exudation C) and mycorrhizal collaboration.
fNIRS Shows that Object Relative Clauses are More Difficult to Process than Subject Relative Clauses in Turkish
Authors: Mutlu Murat Can , Canbeyli Resit , Saybaşılı Hale
Published: November 2022

It was suggested that processing subject relative clauses (SRCs) are
universally easier than processing object relative clauses (ORCs) based
on the studies carried out in head-initial languages such as English,
and German. However, studies carried out in head-final languages such as
Chinese and Basque refuted this claim. Turkish is also a head-final
language. Existing relative clause processing literature in Turkish is
based solely on behavioural metrics. Even though an ORC processing
disadvantage was suggested for Turkish, the results were not conclusive.
Therefore, we aimed to investigate the neural dynamics of relative
clause processing in Turkish. We asked 14 native Turkish speakers to
answer Yes/No questions about 24 sentences each containing either SRC or
ORC while their prefrontal hemodynamic activity was recorded with fNIRS.
Our findings revealed hemodynamic activity in the lateral portions of
the left prefrontal cortex in both conditions. However, hemodynamic
activity was more widespread in prefrontal regions for ORC than SRC.
Even though the behavioural metrics failed to produce a significant
difference between SRC and ORC conditions, direct ORC>SRC
contrast revealed significant activity in left and right DLPFC, which
are known to be involved in language processing and conflict monitoring
related processes, respectively. Our findings indicate that processing
ORCs are more difficult and require further prefrontal resources than
processing SRCs in Turkish, thus refuting the head-directionality based
explanations of relative clause processing asymmetries.
Towards Efficient Edge Learning with Limited Storage Resource: Bandit-based Training Data Retrieval in IoT
Authors: Liu Siyuan , Wang Jing , Xu Zhiwei , Zhang JIaqi , Wang Yongsheng , Tian Jie
Published: November 2022

In an intelligent IoT environment, an edge server needs to retrieve data
from end devices to train the deep neural network deployed at edge. In
order to achieve the higher training performance with limited resource,
we propose a Bandit-based in-network training data retrieval
scheme(Bandit-TDRetrieval). Specifically, we formulate data retrieval
from end devices with a multi-armed bandit (MAB) model. A sequence of
lever pulls of the arms indicate the options to retrieve date from
different end devices, and follows a binomial distribution. To identify
the relation between this binomial distribution and the rewards through
continuous data retrieval from the corresponding devices, Thompson
sampling is used. According to this relation, we design a training data
retrieval paradigm in IoT to maximum the rewards to retrieve training
data for learning at edge. Finally, the evaluation is carried out on the
simulation platform, which can effectively improve the training
efficiency of the deep neural networks at edge.

PROJECT APPROACH TO LEARNING: EXPERIENCE IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
Authors: Holieva Mariia
Published: November 2022

Different countries in their educational systems have accumulated extensive experience in using project technology in education. This technology is an alternative to traditional lecture teaching: it helps to connect theoretical material with practice in real life; to change the roles of students and teachers: students have the opportunity to become an active subject in the educational process, and teachers are engaged in organizing, managing and directing this process, and not just broadcasting ready-made information. The purpose of the article is an analytical review of the options for implementing project-based learning for students in Finland, France, Australia, China and the USA described in foreign peer-reviewed journals. A brief excursion into the history of the origin and development of the project-based learning method is given. The main characteristics of different approaches to its application are highlighted, which differ in the attitudes towards solving certain problems, the choice of goals and means of implementing educational projects. The article is an attempt to comprehend and generalize the world experience in the application of project technology in education. The materials of the publication provide an opportunity for managers of the education system of different levels and practicing teachers to get acquainted with the potential and diversity of project-based learning practices in order to adopt the best of them and the most acceptable for Ukrainian realities, adapting them to the conditions of specific educational institutions.
TRANSLATION STRATEGIES OF SECURITY AND LIFE SAFETY TEXTS
Authors: Kiyko Svitlana
Published: November 2022

The article discusses general translation strategies such as literal translation, borrowing, calquing, equivalence, transposition, modulation, adaptation, expansion, contraction, generalizing, particularizing as well as compensation and restructuring and describes how they can be used when translating texts of security and life safety. The author looks at how to formulate a translation brief and what type of information it should contain. Some of the specific strategic problems a translator might encounter in texts of security and life safety are described as well as some of the strategies a translator use to deal with them are explored. Using a corpus of 500 risk and safety phrases, we compared the use of various translation strategies in English texts and their Ukrainian translations and found that in risk and safety phrases, literal translation occurs more frequently than other strategies such as transposition, modulation, addition or adaptation. Nevertheless, even though literal translation may proportionally see more use in technical texts, it is by no means the most important strategy, nor does it represent the main tool in a translator's toolbox.
COMMUNICATION COMPETENCE IN UKRAINIAN AND FOREIGN LITERATURE CLASSES
Authors: Stepanenko Olena
Published: November 2022

The priority direction of the educational informatization process is introducing information and communication technologies (ICT) in the educational sector. When developing digital information and educational space, certain questions arise regarding the expediency and effectiveness, the place and the role of ICT in the educational process, which is quite natural. The aim of the research is to prove the expediency of using ICT at the lessons of Ukrainian and foreign literature. The relevance of the issue is influenced by many contradictions between the potential possibilities of multimedia technologies as a means of multimodal and multichannel perception of artistic information from literature and the technology uncertainty of conducting a literature lesson with ICT technologies, as well as insufficient development of computerbased literature lessons, regarding the specifics of perception of an artistic literary work in the system of activity-value learning. Incorporating ICT into the educational process provides opportunities for further differentiation of general and professional education, comprehensive implementation of creative, searching, person-centered and communicative forms of education, increasing its effectiveness, mobility and compliance with practice requests. Modern life demands searching for new forms of the educational process arrangement, especially, lessons of foreign literature. The use of computer technologies and the Internet is one of innovative means of studying literature, which allows stimulating students’ interest in artistic works and saves time for creative cooperation between the teacher and the student. The implementation of ICT at the lessons of Ukrainian and foreign literature is considered to be one of the urgent methodological problems.

Published: November 2022

The article is sanctified to research of role youth in forming of youth politics in Ukraine. Separately, the authors investigate the issue of the implementation of youth work in Ukraine in the conditions of military challenges. It was established that Ukraine is going through difficult times, fighting against Russian aggression and occupation, which is manifested in economic, human, infrastructural, ecological losses for Ukraine. It was determined that modern youth policy manifests itself through the following directions: organizational-social, humanitarian and political, which provides an opportunity to realize the appropriate potential of youth, and modern youth activity provides an opportunity to form a new state policy on a qualitatively different basis. The authors believe that in modern conditions, the discussion and research of the role of youth in youth policy is an important direction in the activities of relevant state and public organizations in the war and post-war period of state development. The need to develop appropriate strategies to maintain a positive and constructive orientation to continue activities for the youth by state and public organizations, despite the various challenges of wartime, has been proven. Special attention is paid to the issue of the ability of young people to respond to modern challenges and needs of the time, because many young people in the conditions of military operations continue to work actively, despite all the difficulties that exist in matters of security, logistics, social security, etc. It is also determined that youth organizations abroad also actively help in the organization of events of a political, humanitarian, and human rights nature, both for refugees and for Ukraine as a whole. Accordingly, we believe that the program actions, projects, volunteer initiatives of today's youth will play an important role in imitating their patriotism, activity, organization, self-sacrifice, motivation for the next generations of Ukrainians and can be used in the formulation of youth work for the following periods.

Konstruksjon av identitetsfortellinger i barns sosiale lek
Authors: Zachrisen Berit
Published: November 2022

Denne studien undersøker hvordan barn konstruerer identitetsfortellinger i sosial lek. Etter inspirasjon fra YuvalDavis (2010, 2011) legges et sosiologisk perspektiv til grunn for behandling og drøfting av identitetsbegrepet. Det er prosessen med å konstruere identitetsfortellinger i leken som vektlegges. Datamaterialet består av videoobservasjoner av lekende samspill fra én barnehageavdeling (3–6 år), tatt over tre semestre. Konstruksjonen av kollektive identitetsfortellinger står fram i materialet. Sentralt i disse er barnas bygging av vi-fellesskap. Bygging av vi-fellesskap kan hovedsakelig knyttes til tre trekk ved barnas samspill: kongruens, fysisk nærhet og en lyttende og åpen kroppsholdning. De kollektive identitetsfortellingene kan imidlertid også forbindes med forskjellige former for grensedragninger. Skjult i konstruksjonen av et «vi» ligger konstruksjonen av et «dem». En annen grensedragning kan knyttes til hvilke sider ved aktørene det gis aksept for innenfor et felles «vi». Spesielt i grensedragningene ligger det noen pedagogiske utfordringer.

Construction of identity narratives in children’s social play
This study examines how children construct identity narratives in social play. After inspiration from YuvalDavis (2010, 2011), a sociological approach is taken to the issue of identity. The study emphasizes the process of constructing identity narratives (not the products). The data consists of video observations of playful interactions from one kindergarten department (3–6 years), taken over three semesters. It is childrens’ construction of collective identity narratives that is most salient in the material. Central here is the construction of ‘we-ness’. The building of ‘we-ness’ is primarily linked to three main features of children’s communication: congruence, physical proximity, and a listening and open posture. However, the collective identity narratives can also relate to different forms of demarcation. Hidden in the construction of a ‘we’ is the construction of a ‘them’ that is not included in the ‘we’.  Another demarcation can be linked to which aspects of the actors are accepted within a common ‘we’. The study highlights some educational challenges especially related to the construction of demarcations among the children. (Funded by NordForsk, 85644, and UiS.)
DECONSTRUCTING PARADISE: WE NARRATION AS COLLECTIVE INDIGENOUS VOICE IN “THIS IS PARADISE”
Authors: Indriyanto Kristiawan
Published: November 2022

This paper contextualizes how a short story “This is Paradise” by Kristiana Kahakauwila deconstructs the idealized trope of Hawai’i as paradise by presenting a localized narration from the perspective of the indigene working within the tourist industry. The use of first-person plural narration as the focalizer echoes the collective voice of the Hawai’ian indigene in their marginalized status within the tourist industry. An econarratological perspective as stated by Erin James provides reader with textual cues necessary to construct a mental model of Hawai’i from the insiders’ perspective. Kahakauwila’s use of insiders’ perspective enables reader to have an understanding of indigenous marginalization in Hawai’i, informed by a local experience of place. This perspective challenges the common depiction of Hawai’i as seen from the outsider/tourist point of view. The present study concludes how “This is Paradise” underlines a localized portrayal of the Hawai’i as the counter narrative toward the established trope of Hawai’i as paradise through its use of first-person plural and spatialization of Waikiki.

Authors: Khrolenko Olena
Published: November 2022

The urgent need to develop the modern ways of teaching future navigators the English vocabulary makes the research topical. The unimpeded level of understanding the international communication during the voyage, work in foreign marine companies, communication with shipowners greatly depends on the knowledge of the professional vocabulary. Ignorance of the terminological maritime vocabulary of the English language threatens the safety of life, ship and cargo at sea. The aim of the study is to teach future navigators the English profession-related vocabulary in terms of cognitive and communicative approach. Research methods are as follows: theoretical – analysis of scientific literature on the research topic, empirical – analysis of academic course working programs and syllabi in the discipline "Foreign language for professional purposes" for the students majoring in "Navigation", modelling the process of teaching future navigators the English vocabulary. The article presents the definitions of the terms: "cognitive approach to teaching" and "cognitive and communicative approach". The definitions of the term "terminological maritime vocabulary" are given. The algorithm of the methodological actions concerning teaching the 2nd course cadets within the specialty "Navigation" the English professional vocabulary taking into account the cognitive and communicative approach is presented. The cognitive and communicative system of the exercises for teaching terminological maritime vocabulary is introduced. The system consists of three groups: terminological and cognitive group, training and speech-centred group, professional activity group. The first group of exercises is aimed at semantization and initial consolidation of vocabulary; the second group of exercises is aimed at developing lexical skills; the third group of exercises is aimed at improving and developing more profound professional lexical skills of future navigators. The whole process of teaching future navigators the terminological lexical units was based on the following work algorithm: from tasks for non-mechanical memorization and conscious reproduction of the material to conscious use of the material in educational, training and professional speech situations.
Transversal competences of a modern teacher in the context of the training for the work in the new Ukrainian school
Authors: Kopus Olga , Babii Oksana
Published: November 2022

The research reveals categorical, conceptual and theoretical, scientific and pedagogical parameters of the problem related to transversal competences formation of future teachers in the context of their training for the work in the New Ukrainian School (NUS). The paper aims to highlight terminological, conceptual and structural parameters of transversal competences phenomenology in the context of future teachers training for the work in the New Ukrainian School. The term “transversal competence” describes competences which realise the transfer of the acquired knowledge, abilities and skills systems in the plane providing the solution of tasks and situations belonging to real life practice through expressing person’s individual metacognitive potential. Taking into account the recent researches, the professionally significant transversal competences of a modern teacher were analysed and classified; instrumental, interpersonal and integral competences were specified. The study concludes that transversal skills acquired by the teacher of the New Ukrainian School are a complex of instrumental (implemented into practice), interpersonal (individually generated) and system-based (integral) competences which realise the transfer of the acquired knowledge, abilities and skills systems in in the plane providing the solution of pedagogical and professional tasks, as well as situations within educational practice through expressing person’s individual metacognitive and professional potential. The performed diagnostic analysis provides the information about future teachers’ awareness of the conceptual-terminological matrix of “transversal competence” phenomenology in the context of training them in performing their future professional activity in the New Ukrainian School. The level of future teachers’ awareness of the functional role of transversal competences in the effective training enabling future teachers to perform their professional activity in the NUS is identified as unsatisfactory.
Academic integrity in higher education: manifestations and motivation factors
Authors: Stezhko Zoya , Shalimova Nataliia , Androshchuk Iryna
Published: November 2022

The article highlights the problems of ensuring academic integrity in higher education and the factors that determine them. The category "integrity" is considered not only in ethical and legal aspects, but also in an economic dimension. The peculiarities of such forms of dishonesty as plagiarism, methodological manipulation, abuse of self-citation and bias in further professional activities (using the profession of auditor as an example) are considered. It is substantiated that achieving the profitability of investments in national education to the level of foreign indicators requires the improvement of educational management and the introduction of a number of documents of an organizational and legal nature regarding incentives for conscientiousness. A comparative analysis of national and foreign experience in overcoming negative manifestations in university education is carried out. It is emphasized that the imperfection of the criteria system for determining the scientific rating affects to a large extent the violation of the integrity of universities’ academic staff. The productive role of the cooperation between the National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance and foreign institutions in the implementation of European experience in ensuring academic integrity, adapted to Ukrainian socio-economic realities, is emphasized. The expediency of involving international organizations in monitoring the state of corruption within the Ukrainian education is substantiated. It is proposed to supplement the evaluation of the state of academic integrity of the HEIs in the process of educational and scientific work with the applicants by evaluating it by means of the criteria of conscientiousness and productivity of graduates’ professional activity. It is proved that the training of applicants must necessarily include the projection of ethical principles and principles of academic integrity in the future profession, taking into account special requirements of international standards and professional codes of ethics. It is emphasized that elevating integrity to the level of immanent value of educational and scientific society is a guarantee for competitiveness of graduates of Ukrainian universities on the European market of knowledge.
Using mini-projects in work with philology students
Authors: Budnik Anzhela , Khyzhniak Iryna
Published: November 2022

The article is devoted to the theoretical substantiation and practical use of the project method in working with future philologists. Under the influence of the comprehensive technologization of education, project technologies have evolved from the project method and function in modern pedagogical research under the term “project method”. It is proved that the project method is becoming increasingly popular in the world, there are many experimental schools where the main method of teaching is the project method and its varieties. Teachers all over the world note the enormous possibilities of the project method, in particular its impact on the development of activity, independence, creativity, collectivism of students. The purpose of the article is to reveal the originality of using the project method, in particular mini-projects, in the process of teaching students of higher education institutions. The main stages of work on the project (organizational and preparatory, planning, technological, final) are revealed. Since the project method directly develops the creative, research and analytical activities of students, the main task is to teach them to think independently, find and solve various issues, applying knowledge from different fields, the ability to predict the results and possible consequences of different solutions, the ability to establish cause and effect relationships. The student's activity should be subordinated to the result that he will get by solving a practical or theoretical problem. The authors analyzed the theoretical and practical experience of both domestic and foreign scientists, identified and described the classification of A. Klymenko and O. Podkolzina who distribute projects according to the dominant method or type of activity. It is substantiated that the use of project tasks changes practically all components of the educational process: the type of interaction between the teacher and the student, the evaluation system, the selection of educational material, etc.

The article examines pedagogical coaching as a technology for undergraduate training of choral conductors. It analyses the meaning of the concept “coaching”, which involves optimising the means of influencing an individual or a team in order to effectively perform professional tasks. It is noted that coaching is a technology for revealing individual potential in order to maximise personal productivity and effective work. The studies show that coaching creates a personal dimension of education, which is based on increasing independence both in thinking and in actions. It has been proved that coaching is defined as a pedagogical technology of the subject-subject partnership, which enables the productivity of professional goal-setting, and is a model of joint pedagogical activity in designing, organising and conducting the educational process by creating a comfortable environment for students and a teacher. It has been substantiated that pedagogical coaching is defined as an organisational and functional technology aimed at organising a personal and confidential learning process; successful solution of current and strategic educational tasks; increasing the effectiveness of educational activities, personal development of each student; development of business project development skills; high effectiveness of the educational process as a whole. The key determinants of the development of willpower qualities of a choir conductor have been determined. The article also analyses technologies and methods of pedagogical coaching. On the basis of the conducted research, we have come to the conclusion that the training of the future choral conductor should be oriented towards the constant acquisition of knowledge with essential access to practice. It was found that pedagogical coaching as a leading factor in the personal and professional development of choral conductors, a toolkit of intellectual and managing activity, an indicator of human thinking is a strategically important resource necessary for the further development and constant improvement of human capital assets.

The presented article defines and summarises the universal approaches to teaching in education as a system of purposeful principles and methods aimed at taking into account the needs of recipients of educational services and satisfying them in the educational process. The priority approaches of universal design in teaching in the modern education system have been analysed, which include the approach in teaching based on the pedagogy of partnership, the approach in teaching based on the pedagogy of tolerance, the approach in teaching based on non-violent communication. Each of the identified approaches is universal. The purpose of the article is to highlight the outlined problem, to define and generalize universal approaches to teaching in educational activities, to use priority approaches of universal design to create an effective inclusive educational environment in modern educational institutions. The relevance of each of the identified approaches is high today. The approach to teaching based on partnership pedagogy, which implements one of the components of the NUS formula, requires new methodological developments, studies on the successful interaction of participants in the educational process. In this context, we offer a 3-D formula for partnership interaction, which involves the systematic application and implementation of its components in action: dialogue-trust-agreements. The teaching approach based on the pedagogy of tolerance consists in observing and using the principles of humanism, mutual trust, mutual understanding, reliance on the positive moments, which will always be a priority in the interaction of all subjects of the educational process. Another approach of universality in teaching was identified by us as an approach based on non-violent communication (NVC), which involves the creation of an effective inclusive educational environment, which is urgently needed today, during the war in the country. The approach of non-violent communication is aimed at building relationships between people, based on honesty, empathy, kindness, openness and tolerance; it allows you to make positive decisions even in difficult conflict situations, taking into account the feelings and needs of each person.
