РАДЯНСЬКИЙ ПЛАКАТ ЯК ВІДОБРАЖЕННЯ ШКІЛЬНОГО ЖИТТЯ УРСР ДРУГОЇ ПОЛОВИНИ 1940-Х–1980-Х РОКІВ
Authors: Лаврут Ольга Олександрівна
Published: August 2023

У радянському суспільстві влада через візуальний контент намагалася донести властиві їй меседжі. Він використовувався у різних сферах, у тому числі й у шкільній освіті. Мета статті полягає у з’ясуванні основних тематичних, змістових напрямів плакатів, які стосувалися життя школи в Українській РСР другої половини 1940-х–1980-х років. Методами задля її досягнення стали такі як: історико-хронологічний, описовий, порівняльний, діахронічний. Перший дозволив проаналізувати цю тему у хронологічному вимірі, продемонструвавши зміни, які відбувалися. Другий став у нагоді під час первинної інтерпретації джерела. Порівняльний метод дозволив простежити динаміку розвитку плакату у зазначений період. Діахронічний дав можливість вивчити суспільні процеси, які притаманні радянському суспільству і знайшли відображення у шкільному житті. Результати. Плакати покликані формувати будівника суспільства, якому були притаманні певні риси. Плакат інформував, закликав, переконував, забороняв або дозволяв здійснювати певну діяльність. Він був різноплановим з позиції тематики, адресата, жанру, періодизації, авторства, географії. Плакат спрямований на реалізацію політики радянського уряду у школі УРСР. Він закликав до участі у дорослому житті через трудову діяльність, орієнтацію на «радянських героїв», відданість справі навчання та майбутній професії задля кращого життя. У повоєнні роки тематика була спрямована на відбудову народного господарства і ролі у цьому кожного. Подальша тенденція супроводжувалася тезами «наздогнати і перегнати Захід», участі у експериментах радянського уряду, і у цьому контексті використання дитячої праці зі збору металобрухту, лікарських трав, обробки полів, садів, догляду за тваринами. Школа використовувалася як потужний ресурс впливу на громадськість, який мав потужний матеріальний та людський потенціал. Вони мали певні гасла або цілі приписи залежно від аудиторії, на яку спрямовувалася їхня дія: від учнів початкових класів, яких навчали правил письма, до старшокласників, які уже готові були реалізовувати свою суспільну місію. На плакатах учні і педагоги зображувалися активними, усміхненими, серйозними, задумливими або мрійливими. Висновки. Загалом, школа позитивно зображувалася на плакатах і мала вплив на суспільну думку. Вона залишалася механізмом реалізації планів радянської влади у соціумі.

Культурна спадщина є одним з базових чинників формування історичної пам’яті про минуле свого краю, яка має вирішальне значення для збереження інформації про духовне та матеріальне багатство попередніх поколінь. Особливе місце в цьому контексті займає матеріальна нерухома культурна спадщина, її трактування, переосмислення для сучасності. Вона має вирішальний вплив на формування історико-культурного портрету країни в цілому та регіону зокрема. Питання дослідження культурного надбання Миколаївщини нерозривно пов’язано з історією самого регіону. Одночасно із соціально-політичними подіями, які формували сучасне обличчя краю, відбувалося дослідження його минулого, яке визначає історико-культурний портрет міста та області, що червоною лінією пронизує через усю хронологічну пряму та пов’язує різні існуючі на цих територіях в окремі історичні періоди суспільства та культури. Мета статті – розкрити процес систематизації археологічних об’єктів культурної спадщини на території Миколаївщини в 1980-х роках, проаналізувати нормативно-правовий акт, який став логічним завершенням процесу систематизації; виокремити (взяті на державний облік) об’єкти відповідно до їх видової ознаки, географічного розташування та датування. Основні акценти зроблені на аналізі процесу формування актуальної для цього часу нормативно-правової реальності, висвітленні перебігу науково-пошукових робіт археологічних експедицій, які провадили діяльність на території Миколаївської області в означений період, їх ролі та значення для державного обліку пам’яток історії та культури. Методологічну основу статті становить органічна сукупність, з одного боку, базових принципів дослідження: історизму, об’єктивності, всебічності, системності та наступності, а з іншого боку, дослідницьких методів і засобів пізнання: джерелознавчого аналізу і синтезу. Результати дослідження та висновки. В результаті дослідження проаналізовано основні етапи діяльності археологічних експедицій, які проводилися установами та організаціями – Інститутом археології АН УРСР, Миколаївським обласним краєзнавчим музеєм, Українським товариством охорони пам’яток історії та культури в 1980-х роках. Висвітлено один з головних результатів пам’яткоохоронної діяльності – нормативно-правовий акт, який доповнив Державний список пам’яток історії та культури Миколаївської області новими археологічними об’єктами, більшість з яких були зафіксовані та описані саме в зазначений період часу – 80-ті роки ХХ століття. Названий документ – «О государственной охране памятников истории и культуры» – затверджено рішенням виконавчого комітету Миколаївської обласної ради народних депутатів від 9 серпня 1988 року № 216.

Published: August 2023

In recent years there has been increased attention to the impact of migration on mental health. However, existing research uses an intra-individual lens, focuses on the poor mental health of refugees and asylum seekers, and fails to address the limits of traditional therapy. The aim of the present study was to address a gap in the literature on migration by focusing on the following question: how might a human rights approach help us to identify the policies, practices, and structural forces that impact mental health after migration?
Muslim women who migrated to the U.S. as refugees and/or seeking asylum were asked about their experiences of health and well-being. Qualitative data from 10 semi-structured interviews were analyzed and thematic methods were used to generate themes. Four main themes were identified: 1) critical to the definition of a meaningful life was having access to human rights to which Muslim women were entitled; 2) the pervasive impact of legal and financial issues, family separation, and citizenship-related challenges as structural causes of distress; 3) connection serves to enhance well-being; and 4) clinicians can help mitigate the emotional distress incurred by migration by identifying and responding to the health harming legal needs of their clients. This study highlights the importance of incorporating a structural competency framework when working with refugee and asylum-seeking Muslim women in order to challenge health-harming systems which restrict their human rights.

Authors: Kong Hui , Wu Dan , Yan Liangyan
Published: August 2023

Soil salinization is an urgent problem in the arid and semi-arid regions that damages soil ecology and affects agricultural growths. Timely supervision and monitoring of soil salinity are essential to reach the most sustainable improvement goals in arid and semi-arid regions. In the present study, the soil of Aktau region in Xinjiang, China was collected to build a remote sensing based inversion model for identifying soil salinity hazards. Results showed that Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), and Difference Vegetation Index (DVI) were correlated (P < 0.01) with the model inversion, having correlation coefficients of -0.735, -0.858, and -0.774, respectively. All these were suitable for the construction of the soil salinity inversion model where the optimal parameters of model accuracy were above 85% and prediction results were accurate credible and consistent with the measured data. The NDWI extracted from multispectral images was used as the key parameter of the soil salinity inversion model, which could obtain a better spatial distribution of soil salinity. The remote sensing inversion model of soil salinity provides a theoretical basis for the management of soil salinization and sustainable utilization of agricultural resources in the Aktau region of Xinjiang.

Authors: Yan Niu  , Chao Guo  , Shenglan Ye  , Ying Wang  , Ya Hu
Published: August 2023

Effects of different loose materials on the growth of green plants in the sediment and the improvement of the physical properties of the sediment were studied in pot experiments. Two types of loose materials, vermiculite and shale, were chosen. The addition ratio of loose materials and sediment were set to 1:1, 1:2, 1:5. Results showed that, the sediment after adding vermiculite was more conducive to the growth of ryegrass, and when the addition ratio was 1:1 and 1:2, the growth conditions of ryegrass were the best. The fresh weight of ryegrass in the treatment with the ratio of vermiculite and sediment at 1:1 increased by   43.94% compared to that in pure sediment; In the treatment with the ratio of 1:2, the plant height increased the most, which was 6 cm higher than that in pure sediment; When large amount of loose materials were added, the moisture content of the sediment increased compared to the pure sediment treatment; after the addition of loose materials, the bulk density of the sediment decreased, and the addition of too large amount would easily lead to a low bulk density, which was not conducive to water and fertilizer retention; The addition of vermiculite can reduce the bottom sediment.

Authors: Kachalov Roman M. , Sleptsova Yulia A.
Published: August 2023

The main activity of a scientific organization is to conduct research and obtain new knowledge. The next area of work is to bring to the target audience up-to-date information about the topics of ongoing research and the achieved scientific results. The purpose of this work is to describe the operational marketing concepts and approaches that are in force in the scientific community, and the possible application of modern and promising working marketing tools in the activities of scientific organizations, as well as other objects to which their marketing efforts are directed. For researchers, unlike representatives of commercial organizations, marketing of relationships with representatives of the target audience is close. Therefore, informal interaction between scientists and potential consumers of the results of their research can become a starting point for the transfer and distribution of scientific products free of charge, on the basis of mutual interest, or on a reimbursable basis. Operational theory is used as a methodological tool in the study, the following concepts are introduced: the goals of implementing the marketing concept, the target audience, the object, the toolkit and the societal environment of the concept. It is shown that when implementing the marketing activities of a scientific organization, a combination of four types of considered marketing concepts can be used, in which the objects of application of marketing efforts can be: a scientific organization, a personal brand of a scientist, a branch of science, the results of fundamental or applied scientific research. Basic research may require long-term funding. It is formulated that in some cases it may be appropriate to form a special unit for the organization of applied marketing activities at universities, as well as at academic institutions.

Case Series: Novel Use of a Erector Spinae Plane Block At A Lumbar Spinal Level For Coverage Of Sacral Dermatomes
Authors: Hatami Solyman , Mathew Alwin , Sinha Vijay , Chandrashekar Arvind
Published: August 2023

The erector spinae plane (ESP) block is a recent and novel regional anesthesia procedure used primarily for the thoracic region. There is limited use of this block for the lumbar and sacral regions. Here we investigate the use of lumbar ESP blocks for three cases; hip disarticulation, penile burn, and perineal injury. For each case, an 18-gauge Tuohy needle was inserted into the paraspinous region at the L4 level and caudally directed towards the interfacial plane posterior to the transverse process via ultrasound. Once in place, 20-30 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine was injected. Opioid consumption was measured before and after block placement to evaluate for pain control. The ESP block yielded a significant reduction in opioid use for the penile burn and perineal injury cases, while a non-significant reduction was observed in the hip disarticulation case. The use of lumbar ESP block has shown the feasibility and effectiveness for sacral innervated injuries. This nerve block technique has strong potential to improve patient satisfaction and pain control while minimizing opioid reliance in the postoperative and traumatic injury recovery periods for lumbar and perineal injury patients.

Published: August 2023

Diabetes is a harmful metabolic disease (fasting hyperglycemia, intense thirst, mainly nocturnal diuresis, etc.) which afflicts millions of people worldwide and is correlated with environmental pollution and poor diet. The hyperglycemia of diabetic disease, supported by insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia, is closely related to an increase in oncological, cardiovascular and chronic-degenerative diseases and to a worsening of any responses to therapeutic protocols. Our work proposes an insight into the lack of therapeutic response to immunotherapy and/or chemotherapy protocols in diabetic or hyperglycemic cancer patients. Lack of therapeutic response, in fact, occurs when a patient does not respond to a certain pathology because the body is unable to produce or activate specific lymphocytes and antibodies towards that disease. We argue that the lack of therapeutic response can be caused by deficiencies of trace elements such as Zinc, Copper, Manganese and Cobalt etc. Which help our body to improve its health condition and aggravated by toxic substances such as heavy metals, PCBs and other environmental pollutants. It therefore becomes essential to dose these substances in the various biological matrices (blood, hair, urine, modified tissues, etc.) and in the tumor to adequately deal with the neoplastic disease and reduce the possibility of a lack of therapeutic response.

Published: August 2023

This study concerns on how the undergraduate students of the English Language Education Study Program use relative clauses as the post modifiers of the noun phrases in their thesis background and the errors found and their causes in the noun phrase constructions. Thirty undergraduate students were asked to be the subjects and the data were taken from their thesis backgrounds. The total of 226 noun phrases with relative clauses as the post modifiers were constructed with ten errors found. From the interviews conducted with fifteen subjects, the errors found were caused by (1) the different structures of English grammar point (the noun phrases with relative clauses as the post modifiers) with the Indonesian, (2) the gap time of the teaching and learning activities of the grammar concept that caused the students to forget about the structures, and (3) the pace of the students’ learning which did not match with the lecturers’ teaching pace. The results show that even though the awareness of the students was moderately high, they need to be reminded and encouraged to produce more complex sentences with noun phrases with relative clauses as the post modifiers to improve their thesis background.

Published: August 2023

Self-efficacy in reading is considered to be the cause and result of academic achievement, especially in online learning where students need to learn independently. In this study, the researchers attempted to find out the impacts of self-efficacy on the reading ability of 9th-grade students at SMP 5 Purwokerto during online learning. There were 32 students from class 9A who participated in this study. The research question was: What is the perceived effect of self-efficacy on the reading ability of 9th-grade students at SMP 5 Purwokerto? The researchers used the qualitative method with two research instruments. The results reveal that 9th-grade students have a high level of self-efficacy, can find solutions to every problem, and read a lot of new things from the internet, newspapers, novels, or magazines. Online classes, therefore, bring students’ independence to find solutions from the problems. This study contributes to learning English on reading skills during online school.

Published: August 2023

In English teaching, there has been a dichotomy between language and literature. Literature is sometimes perceived as isolated from language. Teachers of English are reluctant to teach literature feeling that they do not possess the competence in literature. Teachers of literature feel similar reluctance due to the perception that they do not master grammar adequately. This article tries to find a possible way of teaching English grammatical aspects through literary works by adopting Carlson and Tovatt’s way of reading.

Since pandemic novel outbreak, almost all educational institutes have transitioned to online learning in order to keep the teaching and learning process going. In Indonesia, the practice of online learning is still relatively, unclearly understood due to the minimum awareness of the ICT (Information and Communication Technology). Some studies revealed that online learning gave positive as well as negative impacts to the students’ learning motivation. Especially, the negative impacts may cause difficulties, stress, and anxiety in learning. Therefore, this present study was intended to reveal the factors affecting motivation and demotivation for students in learning English online, more specifically, during COVID-19 pandemic and to find out which factors were the most motivating and the most demotivating. A survey design was employed in this study. Thirty-six students of an English education study program at a private university were involved. The data were collected using questionnaire and analysed using statistic descriptive technique. The findings revealed that students’ motivation and demotivation could have been influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. In particular, there were 5 motivating factors affecting students’ motivation, namely: students’ intrinsic learning motivation, self-efficacy, teachers’ performances & attitudes, contents & materials, and classmates’ attitudes. Among 5 motivating factors, teachers’ performances & attitudes turned out to be the most motivating factors, followed by contents & materials, and students’ intrinsic learning motivation. Concerning the demotivating factors, only one factor, i.e., technical factor was found to be the only one and most demotivating factor.

This research reports a study on students’ attitudes towards an online learning platform, Quizlet, in English vocabulary learning. Three research questions were raised, namely: 1) How are the students’ attitudes towards Quizlet in English vocabulary learning? 2) What influence do the students’ attitudes have on their English vocabulary learning using Quizlet? 3) How does Quizlet facilitate the students’ English vocabulary learning? This qualitative study used a questionnaire and an interview to investigate students’ attitudes towards Quizlet in their English vocabulary learning. Twenty students were involved in the questionnaire and six students in the interview. Three major findings are concerned with the students’ attitudes toward Quizlet; the influence of the students’ attitudes towards their English vocabulary learning using Quizlet; and how Quizlet facilitates their English vocabulary learning. Findings indicate that 1) students’ attitudes were all positive, deriving from their opinions, thoughts, feelings, and experiences towards Quizlet; 2) the positive attitudes gave encouragement to their English vocabulary learning; and 3) Quizlet facilitated the students’ English vocabulary learning through its features, namely; Card, Study, Game, and Test modes. Based on these findings, some suggestions are offered. First, for the students to pay more attention to the learning platform they use to learn, such as Quizlet. Second, for the teacher, lecturer, and Study Program Department to pay more attention to the students’ positive attitudes towards a particular learning platform and to utilize more Quizlet for learning. Third, future researchers should investigate how far Quizlet facilitates English vocabulary learning via pretest and posttest.

This paper reports a study that analyzed the content of two English textbooks used in junior high school in Indonesia. The two textbooks are officially published by Indonesia's Ministry of Culture and Education. The first is "When English Rings a Bell," written by Siti Wachidah, Asep Gunawan, Diyantari, and Yuli Rulani Khatimah and published in 2017, and the second is "Modul Pembelajaran Jarak Jauh pada Masa Pandemi Covid-19 untuk jenjang SMP Mata Pelajaran Bahasa Inggris untuk semester genap kelas VIII” which is published in 2020. The findings revealed similarities and differences between the two textbooks. Two English textbooks differ greatly because they have different goals. The second book is not a revision of the first, but it appears to be the solution to the pandemic. The first textbook is designed to improve language skills through the use of communicative approach, both spoken and written, with English as the medium of communication. However, the second textbook is expected to be beneficial and meaningful for students to achieve the intended competence independently. Despite differences in goal or focus in developing the textbooks, they share similarities in terms of basic competence that students must achieve.
PROPOSED QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF ACRYLIC RESIN PRODUCTS WITH SIX SIGMA (AT PT. XYZ)
Authors: Oktavia Sherly
Published: August 2023

PT. XYZ is a manufacturing company that produces various types of resins. One of them is acrylic resin, acrylic resin is the raw material for loading solvent base paints such as those used in the automotive paint manufacturing process. In acrylic resin, defects are usually found such as dirty resin, yellow resin color and rust drum. This study aims to determine the value of the sigma level on acrylic resin products before repair, analyze the factors that cause defects in acrylic resin products and provide suggestions for improvements with the Six Sigma approach. So that defects that occur in acrylic products can be reduced or even eliminated, With a six sigma approach in analyzing and calculating data using the DMAIC concept (define, measure, analyze, improve and control), the total acrylic resin defects in the last six months have an average by 8.94% with a type of gross resin defect of 89.88%, drum rust of 95.80% and yellow resin color of 100.00%. While the average sigma value on acrylic resin before repair was 3.15 with DPMO damage of 81,636 for a million productions. Based on the fishbone diagram, the causes of dirty resin defects, yellow resin color, rust drums are from human factors, materials, machines, methods and the environment. Based on the 5W + 1H method, suggestions can be given to companies in the form of periodic checks on machines, making a schedule for cleaning the production area, holding training or training for employees and carrying out supervision from superiors. Keywords: Quality Control, Six Sigma, DMAIC and 5W+1H 1

ABSTRAK Air emission not only from waste or gas from chimney of factory or ships in port, but also from leaking gas of freon/chloro in air that can damaging the ozone. Our current understanding of the sources and increase in emissions of leaked refrigerant gases derives from two data sources: ground-based and airborne point measurements, or from reports of the quantity of products manufactured and purchased. Thus, port-related air pollutant emissions and their environmental impacts are not systematically reported. The solution to the environmental impacts of refrigerant gases would therefore pass by a gas which contains no chlorine no fluorine and does not reject any CO2 emissions in the atmosphere, in brief a green gas. The method used is expected to be able to map the center of the pollutant source.

This study aims to analyze factors influencing the usage of MyTelkomsel application based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) theory. Data are collected using offline questionnaires distributed to MyTelkomsel application users in Makassar region and its surrounding areas. Data analysis is performed using multiple linear regression after conducting tests for validity, reliability, and classical assumptions. The results of the F-test indicate that overall, all variables collectively influence the usage variable. The results of the partial t-test show that trust, habit, perceived usefulness, and attitude are proven to be influential factors in the usage of MyTelkomsel application, while perceived ease of use and subjective norm do not have a significant impact. This study obtains an adjusted R-Square of 0.577, indicating that the examined factors can explain approximately 57.7% of the variation in the usage of MyTelkomsel application.
Increase in bycatch rates of plunge- and surface-feeding seabirds observed while setting and hauling bottom set gillnets equipped with LED lights
Authors: Sigurdsson GM
Published: August 2023

Seabird bycatch in gillnets is a worldwide problem with few if any available mitigation tools. LED lights attached to the gillnets have been suggested as a potential solution, and a study in Peru showed promising results where bycatch of diving seabirds was reduced by adding LED lights to bottom set gillnets. In this study the potential bycatch reduction of LED lights was tested in a set gillnet fishery that targets Atlantic cod Gadus morhua in Iceland. A variety of seabirds such as common guillemots, cormorants, eiders, northern gannets, northern fulmars, and gulls have been observed as bycatch in that fishery. In a paired trial, nets with and without LEDs were fished off a commercial gillnetter in western Iceland. The LED-equipped net sets caught significantly more seabirds while a slight but statistically insignificant reduction in fish catches was also observed. The seabirds caught in the LED-equipped nets were mainly northern gannets and northern fulmars, plunge- and surface-feeding birds, which seemed to be attracted to the lights while hauling and setting the nets. Caution should be taken when implementing the use of LED lights on gillnets or trawls as while they might reduce bycatch of some taxa of diving seabirds or sea turtles, it is possible that some bird species or groups of bird species are attracted to the lights, in particular during hauling and setting of the nets.
Simulating larval dispersal across the distribution of the New Zealand green-lipped mussel: insights into connectivity and source-sink dynamics

Information about population connectivity, including the rates and routes of larval transport as well as source-sink dynamics, is important for the sustainable management of harvested species. For marine species whose primary mode of dispersal is transport during the pelagic larval stage, biophysical modelling of larval dispersal represents a valuable tool that is not subject to some of the same limitations as genetic connectivity analyses. In particular, a model that encompasses the entire distribution of a species can provide novel insights by identifying potentially important source populations or stepping-stone sites from which molecular samples may not be available. This study employed a Lagrangian particle-tracking model to simulate larval releases from all potential mussel habitats along ~15000 km of coastline for an endemic New Zealand bivalve, the green-lipped mussel. A northern and a southern cluster with a break near Cook Strait were identified, confirming the structure reported by earlier genetic analyses and a previous biophysical modelling study. The present study revealed, for the first time, that connectivity between the 2 clusters is largely asymmetrical, with more particle transport from the south to the north. Because this study simulated spawning events across the entire distribution of the species, several previously unknown source populations and stepping-stone populations were identified. These findings highlight the utility of a multidisciplinary approach to understanding marine connectivity and provide evidence for new strategies, including the protection of source and stepping-stone populations, to sustainably manage this endemic species.
