A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE POSITIONING STRATEGIES OF THE LEADING UNIVERSITIES IN THE UK AND UKRAINE BEHIND THE GLOBAL INDICATOR «QUALITY OF ACADEMIC STAFF OF HEIS»
Authors: SHCHERBAK I.
Published: April 2022

The article makes a comparative analysis of positioning strategies behind the global indicator «quality ofacademic personnel of a higher educational institution (HEI)» with indicators «the ratio of university research andteaching staff to the number of students» and «the number of foreign research and teaching staff attracted» on theexample of leading UK universities and Ukraine. Based on the analyzed results of the world holding QS World UniversityRankings, the place in the ranking of each university and the value of their indicators were determined.Based on the analysis of the official websites of higher educational institutions, reports of rectors, reports from newspapers, radio and television, the main forms and methods of positioning universities in the international information space (IIS) were clarified. A review of the advertising background for this global indicator gave grounds to conclude that the leading Ukrainian universities in their strategies for the development of the university, understanding the importance of positioning to improve the efficiency of their activities in the IIS, highlight this direction, aimed at positioning the university’s activities to improve the quality of academic personnel. In turn, the leading European universities, in the main direction of the strategy of positioning the quality of academic personnel, have constant support for scientific research, motivation by awards, awards of scientists who develop and implement their own scientific discoveries.In the process of comparing the positioning strategies of the leading universities in the UK and Ukraine on this global indicator, gaps in the development of strategies by domestic universities were identified, in particular, in higher education institutions we do not find advertising and information materials, special events, PR campaigns to attract foreign scientific and pedagogical workers; the number of attracted foreign specialists is very low in comparison with the European HEIs; the ratio of the faculty of the HEI to the number of students, unfortunately, remains very low in comparison with European universities.

The article presents the results of the analysis of a dog skeleton found over a human skeleton, in the Scythian tomb, 91/2016 in Sâncrai, Alba county. The dog was completely deposited on its right side, over the human corpse. Over time, the animal bones deteriorated, becoming crumbly, so that few complete pieces could be recovered. According to measurements, the animal is 43.5 cm tall with thin limbs. The proximal segment of the legs provided a slightly higher waist (45.4 cm) than the distal one, (39.8 c). The animal is slightly smaller compared to those from the Scythian world, with sizes over 50 cm. During the re-inhumation process, the human bones were mixed with those of the meat offering which was laid into the pit during the initial funerals. The meat offering consisted of a part from the left limb of a cattle, slaughtered towards 2 years.

Published: April 2022

The article informs upon the current state of research concerning the Roman site at Sutor (Sălaj County). The first reliable information concerning the site was accounted by K. Torma during the second half of the 19th century. The site remained ‘silent’ until the late ‘60s when several votive monuments were recovered from the area of the site. The systematic archaeological research began in 2001 and continued since then with few interruptions. Even though the fort was trenched between 2006–2008 to establish its position and dimensions, it was in 2012 that most of its inner structure as well as an initial smaller timber fort were revealed, after a large-scale geophysical survey was performed. In 2021 the archaeological works were resumed in connection with the infrastructure works for the ‘Transylvania Highway’ highlighting multiple elements of the civilian settlement developed around the Roman fort.
Fast Wheel Gravel-tempered Coarse Ware Found in 7th–10th-Century Cemeteries from Western Romania
Authors:   Institutul de Arheolgie si Istoria Artei Cluj-Napoca, Cosma Călin
Published: April 2022

Sometime in the 7th century, pottery made with a potter’s wheel reaching a medium rotation speed appeared in the Carpathian Basin. This particular pottery, generically referred to as “Danubian-type pottery”, evolved in different ways from one region to another until it was generalized in the 8th century as a specific type that characterizes large areas in central and south-eastern Europe. Owing to the technical innovations that led to the improvement of the potter’s wheel, pottery also began to be produced on the fast-rotating wheel. However, 7th–10th-century fast wheel pottery from Transylvania should not be regarded as an ethnic attribute. Early Medieval wheel-thrown pottery is recorded not only in settlements but also in inhumation and bi-ritual cemeteries from Transylvania, north-western Romania and Crișana (centralwestern Romania), constantly appearing from the Middle Avar period (AD 650/670) until the end of the 10th century (Tab. 1–2). The list of finds thus demonstrates that all population groups archaeologically attested in Transylvania by material evidence and, especially, spiritual activities knew fast wheel pottery. These are mainly Avar and Slavic populations, represented in the group of Avar cemeteries at the Mureș river bend in central Transylvania and the Mediaș Group, which can be attributed to the Slavic and Slavo-Avar populations of the Transylvanian Plateau.

Published: April 2022

The aim of the article was to establish the features and trends of the legal regulation in the field of coordination of the fight against organized crime by the competent authorities. The chosen research topic identified comparative legal approach to scientific research as the leading one. A set of general scientific (dialectical, historical, systemic, statistical) and narrow scientific (legalistic, case method) methods of cognition was also used.

It was stated in this research that punitive measures can have only a limited impact on reducing the manifestations of organized crime with a corruption component. Such measures should be part of a sustainable, long-term comprehensive strategy to reduce the space for organized crime and corruption, coordinated by the state while legalizing clear powers and effective mechanisms for cooperation between the competent law enforcement agencies and the public in this area.

Further research should be based on national identity, criminological factors of organized crime, and drivers of corruption in government institutions. Future reform of the current legislation should reasonably take into account foreign experience, as well as the innovative components of the development of national criminal groups.

Authors: ÇOBAN Mehmet , GÜNDOĞDU ÇOBAN Dilşat , ÖZDEMİR Öner
Published: April 2022

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an enveloped, single-stranded RNA virus that can also be transmitted from person to person via the droplet (secretions shed when speaking, sneezing, or coughing) route, suspended droplet nuclei, and the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, and mouth after touching a contaminated surface. It enters the cells through the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE- 2) receptor. Although non-specific respiratory symptoms such as fever, loss of smell/taste, runny nose, and cough are most common, SARS-CoV-2 can lead to a systemic and multiorgan involvement, including the gastrointestinal tract. The liver is the second most frequently involved organ after the lung. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and abdominal pain are also common. Abnormal liver function enzyme levels may also be observed. The liver is affected by direct infection of hepatocytes, medical therapy of the management, or by indirect means if there is an underlying co-morbid disease. However, there are significant differences between studies in the reporting of gastrointestinal and liver symptoms. The most frequently reported gastrointestinal symptom in COVID-19 disease is diarrhea, reported in 1-36% of patients. In this review, it is aimed to review the current data on the effects of COVID-19 on the liver.

Le 85e anniversaire du début des fouilles de Tell Hariri est présenté comme l'occasion de retracer l'histoire de la découverte et de la publication des Archives Royales de Mari. La plupart des tablettes ont été découvertes de la 2e à la 5e campagne, entre 1934 et 1937. En absence d'inventaire sur le site, les tablettes n'ont pas été distribuées selon la loi sur les antiquités de l'époque, et ont été envoyées en France pour son étude; d'où elles retournèrent progressivement en Syrie. En 2005, toutes les tablettes étaient à leur lieu d'origine, principalement le musée Derez-Zor. Cet article décrit les étapes de restauration des tablettes (cuisson et assemblage de fragments), le déchiffrement et la reproduction. Une deuxième partie traite de l'organisation de la recherche, en commençant par la stratégie de publication, tant pour la correspondance que pour les documents administratifs, et son évolution dans le temps. L'«équipe Mari » a développé plusieurs outils de travail, les plus récents basés sur l'utilisation d'ordinateurs. La troisième partie résume le travail réalisé par une cinquantaine de personnes sur 4 générations. Finalement, quelques thèmes de recherche récente sont abordés, pour conclure sur les perspectives d'avenir d'un des projets scientifiques les plus importants en Assyriologie.

A major challenge for science educators is teaching foundational concepts while introducing their students to current research. Here we describe an active learning module developed to teach protein structure fundamentals while supporting ongoing research in enzyme discovery. It can be readily implemented in both entry-level and upper-division college biochemistry or biophysics courses. Preactivity lectures introduced fundamentals of protein secondary structure and provided context for the research projects, and a homework assignment familiarized students with 3-dimensional visualization of biomolecules with UCSF Chimera, a free protein structure viewer. The activity is an online survey in which students compare structure elements in papain, a well-characterized cysteine protease from Carica papaya, to novel homologous proteases identified from the genomes of an extremophilic microbe (Halanaerobium praevalens) and 2 carnivorous plants (Drosera capensis and Cephalotus follicularis). Students were then able to identify, with varying levels of accuracy, a number of structural features in cysteine proteases that could expedite the identification of novel or biochemically interesting cysteine proteases for experimental validation in a university laboratory. Student responses to a postactivity survey were largely positive and constructive, describing points in the activity that could be improved and indicating that the activity was an engaging way to learn about protein structure.

Authors: Alkharji Manal , Cheong Loh Sau
Published: April 2022

The purpose of this study is threefold: 1) to validate the psychometric properties of communication factors’ measure, 2) to examine the degree of relationship between communication factors and the academic achievement of deaf and hard of hearing students (DHH) in Saudi universities, and 3) to test the moderating of gender in the relationship between communication factors and the students’ achievement. Data were collected from 298 DHH students using a quantitative survey. The study employed co-variance-based SEM using AMOS version 24. To test the psychometric properties for the communication factors, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was employed. Second, a full-fledged SEM was conducted to test the relationship between the communication factors and the students’ academic achievement. Finally, to examine the moderating role of gender, a multi-group analysis was applied. The results indicated that the multidimensional hypothesized model of communication factors was empirically valid and reliable. The results also revealed a statistically significant relationship between communication factors and the students’ academic achievement, β = 0.23. Besides, the moderating role of students’ gender in the relationship between communication factors and the students’ academic achievement was also significant. In this regard, the change in the Chi-square was 48.06 while the change in CFIs and the value of the RMSEA were checked against the .001 and .05 cut-off scores respectively. Accordingly, the findings will contribute to increasing knowledge regarding communication factors in higher education programs for DHH students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The findings will also be useful to educators and policymakers in the Ministry of Education (MOE) in the field of deafness and hard of hearing. This research also has the potential to positively reflect on the performance of Saudi higher education institutions, thus enhancing DHH students' academic achievement.

In the context of present study the term Delineation means bordering of any kind of area by using scale and reveals in maps. In the context of present study the term Delineation is refer to mapping the drainage and check dams in the study area. The region is drained by the Arunavati River a northern tributary of Tapi, flowing towards the south. River Aner in the east marked an eastern boundary, which flows towards south while in the west Nandurbar district and in the east Jalgaon district. The Northern boundary is marked by Madhya Pradesh. The basaltic lava flows in the hilly tract are not favorable for groundwater development but give rise to perennial and seasonal springs. The contact of the basaltic lava flows with alluvial mountain front deposit is demarcated by a major fault. The alluvial deposits are further subdivided into (a) Talus and Scree deposits bordering in the Satpura foothills and (b) Alluvium consisting of sand clays gravel. Secondly, Evapotranspiration is an important parameter to decide the quality of water is available for plant growth. Evapotranspiration in this tehsil is higher during the plant growth period, thus reducing the availability of water for plant growth. Drought Prone Taluka the semi-arid tracts of the State which receives rainfall between 750 to 1000 mm are drought-prone areas. The Shirpur taluka comes in the drought-prone area of the State. The annual normal rainfall is 617 mm received over period of 36 days during south west monsoon. A surface water resource in the Taluka is unevenly distributed. This resource is also not assured as it depends on rainfall. Irrigation projects in the Taluka cover the only small area in southeastern part of the Taluka. Because of this, the use of groundwater for irrigation, drinking water, and an industrial purpose has increased many folds. In entire taluka intensive development of groundwater has led to critical situations resulting in manifestations of problems like declining ground water levels, shortage of water supply, etc. This situation warrants for taking up programmers to augment groundwater resources on strong lines in the whole taluka. In this paper, groundwater resources in different formations of the entire taluka, industrialization, problems caused due to excessive utilization of groundwater, method store adopted in conserving the scarce resources and recharging the aquifers have been discussed.

At Present, portable battery-operated devices are enhancing due to low power consumption and high-speed applications, The designed circuit with feedback are used to design novel circuits. If the comparator having feedback are without clock signal. The comparators are mainly designed to minimize the power consumption and with good accuracy because of clock signal, if the clock signal is there, it is used to drive the circuit with low current. But in the existed design the circuit is with high power and current. These drawbacks are overcome by using the projected designed comparator. The Projected comparator design is with reduced power consumption, propagation delay, currents and with a smaller number of transistors. The comparators are useful in analog to digital converters. And this is simulated by using 45 nm CMOS technology Cadence Virtuoso tool.
