Rethinking Use of Individual Room Air-conditioners in View of COVID 19
Authors: Singh Raja , Dewan Anil
Published: September 2020

As the World Health Organization is examining the airborne nature of COVID 19, there is past research on other airborne infections which set all encompassing guidelines. Even as more data begins to be available regarding COVID, there is proven spread of airborne disease like tuberculosis being transmitted by this route. As the summer months approach, there is an increased use of Air Conditioners in the tropical regions of the world. India, too being in this part of the world sees an active rise in the indoors which are being air conditioned to meet the thermal comfort requirements of the rising urban population which is spending a large chunk of time indoors. This is coupled with the enforced lockdown which encourages people to stay indoors to prevent the spread of infection. In such situations the use of Room air conditioner requires rethinking as they re-circulate the indoor air without any Fresh air supply into the room. To reduce heat gain and save the electric load of the room AC, people tend to seal the windows further. This paper looks at many possible ways of finding out infection spread in spaces and one of them is used to find out the probability of airborne infection spread in a typical public space. An experiment to validate the same has been conducted in a classroom setup with results analysed. Increased ventilation has been demonstrated to show a lesser probability of infection spread.

Authors: Malanchiy Mykola
Published: September 2020

The Article substantiates the directions of developing the professional competence of the manpower of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, and discloses the structure of the professional and psychological (personal) competence of a border guard: basic, particular and special competencies. According to the author, the basic competence is a set of knowledge in the field of: individual-typological features (temperament, character, emotional-volitional regulation, personal style of activities, cognitive style, peculiarities of memory and professional thinking, etc.), and protective and blocking systems that prevent the effective self-development. The particular psychological competence is the personality characteristic and includes understanding: one’s own strengths and weaknesses in the field of the personal-professional development, necessary professional and important qualities, zones of the professional self-determination, and means of the professional self-realization. The special social and psychological competence is included in the process of the personality further professionalization and mastery of professional skills at higher levels.The profiles of the professional competence of positions in the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, developed with the direct participation of the author, have been presented.It is substantiated that the service and fighting activity of a border guard is an example of the professional activity, which is carried out in specific and extreme conditions, often associated with danger to life, and incorporates solving various service and fighting tasks. Each service and fighting task has its own psychological peculiarities conditioned by its content, terms of execution, composition of participants, predictable consequences, etc.In the study of the service and fighting activity, it is necessary to determine psychological preconditions for its successful implementation. They, in their turn, form the scale of requirements to the professional competence of a border guard.
Theoretical and practical bases of the head's activity in formation and estimation of professional interests of public servants in Ukraine
Authors: Osypov Dmytro
Published: September 2020

In the article, the author proposes the structure of the reflexive-acmeological approach to the development of professional interests from the position of acmeology in the practical activities of the heads of public authorities and heads of the public service, which includes several aspects: educational and educational, professional and creative.The importance of professional education and assessment in the context of the topic of the article has been clarified and expanded, a two-factor model (cycle) of the formation of the professional interests of public servants (acmeological approach) has been proposed, and the tasks of personnel management in the field of public administration have been clarified as a cyclic use of stimulating and activating reserves of professional interests in the form of directions of activity.It is recommended to use specific acmeological approaches in the diagnosis (assessment) of the professional interests of public servants for heads of public authorities and public service leaders: problem; situational and systemic genetic.Professional education as a practical activity of leaders provides for the development of such qualities as: proper subjectivity – the formation of the life position of a «doer», «leader»; professional learning ability, education, and therefore – professional competence; tolerance as an understanding of the values of another person, as an acknowledgment of dissent; functional literacy. The components of the professional activity of the head of a public authority or the head of the public service are: mobility of professional skills; social determination of activity; integrity and completeness of work; subjective autonomy; feedback.Specific components of the professional activity of the head of a public authority or the head of a public service, which have a competence-based nature, as well as appropriate techniques are proposed.
The role of the philosophy of law in the development of modern consciousness
Authors: Skiba Eleonora
Published: September 2020

The purpose of the study is to find out the place of the philosophy of law as scientific knowledge of legal reality in the system of formation of consciousness and legal consciousness of society. The relevance of the work lies in the need to explore the importance of the philosophy of law as a reflection of the legal reality of society in its theoretical aspect, the place and significance of the philosophy of law in creating the socio-cultural discourse of our time; it is necessary to identify how this knowledge can and should respond to the challenges of our time. The article considers the need to study the importance of the philosophy of law in the process of the formation of consciousness and legal consciousness of the individual and to understand how the philosophy of law, fulfilling its direct purpose of studying the ontology of law, can participate in overcoming the permanently existing crises in society. The results of the analysis made it possible to find out that the philosophy of law, fulfilling its many functions, becomes the fundamental basis for the formation of consciousness and legal awareness of society. It was found that such functions of legal philosophy as educational and value-oriental build a system of individual and collective priorities of values and logically substantiate their importance and universality for the existence of man and society. It is analyzed that the philosophy of law helps to establish a connection between one’s own individual experience of legal understanding and acquired scientific knowledge. It is proved that a theoretical study of legal reality models by the philosophy of law as a branch of scientific knowledge about the essence of law occupies a significant place in the system of studying social values. The conclusions of the work prove that, plunging into the legal system, the philosophy of law contributes to the development of the individual ability of a person to critical thinking and subjective assessment of acquired knowledge. The significance of philosophical and legal consciousness as one of the factors for overcoming permanently existing crises in society is established. The use of the philosophy of law as a methodology for the assimilation of legal reality contributes to the formation and constant reproduction of the ability to process information on the principles of justice, equality and respect for cultural diversity.
El problema del infinito en Spinoza. El arte de la distinción
Authors: De Gainza Mariana
Published: September 2020

El artículo presenta una lectura detallada de “la Carta 12” de Spinoza, como acceso privilegiado para la comprensión de su filosofía. Enfatizamos la íntima conexión existente entre la elaboración de su concepto de infinito y la importancia estratégica del trabajo de la distinción en su ontología. Si el orden complejo de dicha ontología es el resultado de un esfuerzo filosófico de comprensión de las distinciones reales responsables de la diversidad interna de la existencia, sostenemos aquí que el concepto spinoziano de infinito se constituye, asimismo, a través de una secuencia de distinciones necesarias que nos dedicamos a identificar y analizar.
El texto cartesiano de la adoración y la hipótesis de los juicios implícitos verdaderos
Authors: Otaíza Morales Mauricio Alejandro , López-Silva Pablo
Published: September 2020

El carácter analítico de Meditationes implica que, por una parte, ninguna verdad puede ser interpretada sin referencia al lugar concreto que ocupa en el orden de razones y, por otra, que no existen en Meditationes ficciones que permanezcan advertidamente como tales. Sin embargo, la presencia de algunas pasiones no ha sido justificada, lo que pone en cuestión el carácter analítico de la obra. Proponemos que tales pasiones son efecto de juicios implícitos. Para poner a prueba nuestra hipótesis, hemos elegido un enigmático párrafo que hemos denominado el “texto de la adoración.”

Dissertation Abstract
Learning in late adulthood in the light of biographical research
Authors: Marcinkiewicz-Wilk Aleksandra
Published: September 2020

Aim. The paper presents the result of research how people study in older age.

Method. The method of biographical research was used. The research presented was embedded in the strand of qualitative research in an interpretative paradigm, in which cognitive science places emphasis on the subject who is learning. In recruiting subjects for research intentional selection was used, based on the typical cases method. One of the basic criteria for selection of candidates was an intention to undertake educational activity. In effect, 12 people participated in my research – 8 women and 4 men.

Results. In the biographies analysed, education proceeds in both non-formal and informal areas, so both these area merge with each other and complement each other. The return line of education in late adulthood is characteristic for those biographies in which learning occurs above all in the area of non-formal education. These seniors usually undertake learning in institutions with an educational character which are aimed at that age group, such as the University of the Third Age, Seniors’ Academy, or various kinds of EU training whose beneficiaries are older people. On the other hand, those whose biographies take the form of continued education in late adulthood realise their goals most effectively in informal education. In this area, the most frequent form of activity is self-education. This is undertaken by those who have a previous knowledge of the subject, but were unable to dedicate themselves to it fully because of their professional work.

Authors: Coşkun Hasan
Published: September 2020

Aim. In Turkey, in connection with the Bologna process, German is a foreign language course. In this study, the subject of a weather report (forecast) was planned for the German courses. The purpose of this study is the preparation, implementation and evaluation of a sample lesson to describe the selection of the subject of a weather report for the German courses taught at schools and universities.   

Methods. This study was conducted by qualitative research (Yıldırım & Şimşek, 2008, pp. 187-193). During the 2019 / 2020 academic year, I taught the subject of a weather report students in German courses and 38 students in master courses.

Result and Conclusion. It was observed that participants talk about the weather in their hometown and in the places where they go on vacation. In addition to the subject discussed in class, the method implemented in the lesson and the planning of the course according to the method, play an important role in the continuation of this interest.

In order to conduct German courses effectively for different purposes, and for participants coming from different countries and students with different levels of fluency, a suitable method should be developed.
Features of sexual nervousness of men and women
Authors: Kocherhina Iryna , Hupalovska Viktoriya
Published: September 2020

Aim. The aim is to present the results of research on the sexual nervousness of men and women.

Methods. 87 Ukrainian men and women were interviewed. For the analysis of the obtained results, methods of statistical processing of data were used.

Results. It has been established that there are differences between men and women in terms of sexual nervousness, attitudes towards pornographic materials, sexual arousal, friendly and exchange approaches to sex, signs of positive relationships with others and self-acceptance. Men are more focused on careful approach to sex and woman on friendly approach. Men are more loyal to pornographic products and reach sexual arousal faster. They have higher levels of sexual nervousness. For both men and women, sexual satisfaction is related to a reduction in sexual nervousness and an increase in a sense of feasibility in a sexual way. Dissatisfaction with a men’s sex life is related to emotional discomfort. With the growth of sexual-neurotic feeling and sexual actions the desire for a technically perfect sexual act increases neglecting other aspects of relationships and partner’s wishes. Women who are dependent on others tend to reject themselves and dissatisfaction with their sexual lives increases.

Conclusions. Male and female sexuality is associated with many factors of the individual’s mental life. The experience of subjective well-being and quality of life includes sexual satisfaction.

Sexual nervousness is closely related to personal nervousness, which in turn is a set of negative emotional feeling, expressed destructive and inconsistent personality traits, and impedes efficient social and psychological functioning. Sexual nervousness is defined as dissatisfaction, disappointment in sex life that leads to neurotic sexual response – difficulties in controlling the sexual urge, confusion, anxiety, etc.
University-organised summer schools as cases of hybrid education
Authors: PODERYTĖ AGNĖ
Published: September 2020

Aim. The aim of is article is to discuss how summer schools can be approached as instances of hybrid education and how this can help to address the complex needs of their participants living in a culturally and technologically intertwined world.

Methodology. This paper analyses the theoretical framework of hybrid education, its manifestations in summer schools and since it needs contextualisation, how it works in a specific case of Baltic Summer University organised by Vytautas Magnus University (Kaunas, Lithuania).

Research and conclusion. To reach their target audience, summer schools combine academic content, and the elements of business and entertainment. This results in a separate mode of education with new possibilities and scope, however poses a paradox: while the adoption of business and entertainment practices puts summer schools somewhat outside the realm of the traditional university practices, it makes higher education more approachable and able to react to the fast-changing reality. Baltic Summer University fits the pattern established and as such, could benefit from a more active engagement of this theoretical approach and the opportunities it offers.  

Originality. While summer schools are not a particularly new phenomenon, recently this field has witnessed a great expansion in both the supply of programmes and interest from students. The nature of these programmes and sudden interest in them remains under the radar of more extensive in-depth studies, which would actually help to harness its full potential.

DIFFERING PERSPECTIVES ON SCHOOL SEGREGATION ISSUES IN AMERICAN CHILDREN’S PICTURE BOOKS
Authors: Klęczaj-Siara Ewa
Published: September 2020

Aim. School segregation is a common theme of children’s books on minority groups living in the United States. Although it is primarily associated with black-white racial divisions, currently it also concerns white-Latino or rich-poor disparities. The aim of this paper is to analyse children’s picture books featuring Latino and African American characters who participate in the struggle against school segregation. The authors of the books, being members of racial minorities themselves, offer differing perspectives on the problem. Although they criticise school segregation, they also focus on the white perspective and the reasons why integrating schools has always been hard to achieve.

Methods. The study analyses the visual and verbal narratives of selected picture books using a variety of methods for examining this literary format. Among others, it applies the theory of picture book analysis by Martin Painter, William Moebius, Maria Nikolajeva and Carole Scott.

Results. The article shows that despite the existing scholarship on race-related problems in American schools, children’s literature seems to be the medium which tries to explain the problem to youngsters being directly involved in the system of segregation.

Conclusions. The results can be useful to educators who cope with the issue of racial diversity in American schools. They may consider using selected titles of children’s literature as teaching aids assisting students from minority groups in the process of self-development and empowerment.

Conclusion. Socio-economic status was not found to have influences on the academic interest of the secondary school students and on the whole the present study suggested for teachers and parents to work cooperatively in order to help students realize their goals and desires.
Detection of Frederiksenia sp. isolated from a cat with nephritis – Short communication
Authors: Ujvári Barbara , Szeredi Levente , Magyar Tibor
Published: September 2020

In this paper we report the phenotypic and partial genetic characterisation of a novel bacterium strain isolated from a cat with severe nephritis. Multilocus sequence analysis was performed on the 16S rRNA and three housekeeping (recN, rpoB, infB) gene sequences obtained by PCR. In accordance with the results of phenotypic tests, the phylogenetic analyses confirmed the relatedness of the new strain (6036) to the family Pasteurellaceae. On the phylogenetic trees, strain 6036 appeared in a separate branch, closest to that of the type species (Frederiksenia canicola) of the genus Frederiksenia. These two bacteria shared 95.14 and 76.88% identity in their partial 16S rRNA and recN gene sequences, respectively. The rpoB- and infB-based phylogenetic analyses indicated that strain 6036 is most closely related to Bibersteinia trehalosi (with 90.58% identity) and [Haemophilus] felis ATCC 49733 (89.50% identity), respectively. The predicted genome identity values, based on the recN gene sequences, suggested that strain 6036 can be classified into the genus Frederiksenia as a novel species. A PCR method, specific to strain 6036, was developed to allow its rapid and accurate identification and differentiation from F. canicola and other species of Pasteurellaceae. The minimal inhibitory concentrations of 18 antimicrobial agents for strain 6036 were also determined.

Study of the Effect of Various Chemical Polishing Treatments on MBE-Grown CdTe/GaAs (211)B Heterostructures
Authors: BİLGİLİSOY Elif , ÖZÇERİ Elif , TARHAN Enver
Published: September 2020

A three-inch-diameter high quality CdTe thin film was grown on a GaAs (211)B substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) in ultra-high vacuum conditions. The CdTe/GaAs (211)B heterostructure was then cut into several sample pieces. A few as-grown sample pieces were subjected to chemical etching solutions which created etch pits on the surface. The scanning electron microscopy images of such samples were used to calculate the etch pit densities on the surface. In addition, several as-grown samples were subjected to chemical polishing treatments under different conditions to quantify the removal of O and Te-O structures from the surface. Atomic force microscopy was used to determine as-grown and polished surface morphology and the polish rate of chemical solutions. A study of the surface stoichiometry and the chemical composition of the as-grown and polished CdTe (211)B surfaces were carried out by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Bulk structural qualities of the as-grown and polished samples were studied in terms of the vibrational and phonon modes via confocal Raman spectroscopy. From a comparative analyses of the results, the best chemical polishing conditions for the MBE-grown CdTe (211)B heterostructure were determined.
Reflecting on the role of mentorship in gifted education: Mixed approach study
Authors: ALHANAYA Mohammad
Published: September 2020

This study fills several knowledge gaps within the literature of gifted education, specifically with respect to the role of mentorship in guiding and developing gifted young minds as they begin to move into advanced academic and professional environments. It surveys the experiences of college students, all of whom had participated in a university-based gifted mentorship program in high school, by asking them to relate their impressions of the program and its effects on their cognitive and research skills. It takes a mixed-method approach by analyzing an online questionnaire answered by 71 students, as well as responses to two open-ended questions answered by 35 students; finally, it conducts individual interviews with 10 students. Results indicate positive student perceptions toward the program overall, and positive correlations between those perceptions and other specific factors studied, with perceptions of cognitive development and university mentors being the most strongly correlated. Students also raised some unanticipated factors that may have contributed to shaping their impressions, including the characteristics of their mentors, as well as aspects related to program implementation and learning elements. Recommendations for future research are then provided.

LEGISLATIVE REGULATION AND PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF SUMMARY PROCEEDING IN CIVIL LITIGATION

Published: September 2020

As a result of the reform of the Ukrainian Civil Procedural Law in 2017, civil justice has undergone significant changes. That is, – courts of first instance may consider civil cases in a general proceeding or in a summary proceeding.

The issue of legislative regulation and practical implementation of summary proceeding in civil litigation is in the focus of scientists and legal practitioners. To date, a separate Chapter 10 of Section III of the current Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine, which has the title – "Review of cases in summary proceedings” is devoted to a summary proceeding. This Chapter of the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine determines the categories of cases to be considered in the procedure of summary proceedings, as well as the cases that cannot be considered in the procedure of summary proceeding, procedural features and the procedure for considering such cases.

At the same time, there are a number of disadvantages that cause certain problems that negatively affect to the theoretical basis and practical aspect of summary proceeding implementation in civil litigation in the part of the normative consolidation of the summary proceeding in the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine.

Consequently, the issue of "minor cases" and the determination by courts of grounds for the consideration in summary proceeding of civil cases is the subject of our attention in this article.

Particularly these issues concern the lack of legal definition of the concept of "minor cases" at the legislative level, as well as the lack of clear criteria for assigning a particular case to the category of "minor" ones. Special attention should be paid to the effectiveness of the introduction of so-called "cassational filters" for minor cases in the current Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine.

The authors concluded that it is necessary to give a legitimate definition of the concept of minor cases and clear criteria for their definition as well as the fact that the institution of summary proceeding requires further improvement and development.

So, it is considered appropriate to draw attention to motivating the courts` decisions, as well as wider application of the provisions of the principles of proportionality of civil judicial proceedings and cooperation between the parties and the court to ensure the realization of the main task – the effective protection of claimant`s violated rights.

BRIEF MEDICAL REPORT of the clinic of obstetrics and women's diseases at the Imperial University of Warsaw for the five-year period of its activity from January 1, 1869 to January 1, 1874

In the life of an individual scientific institution, as well as in the life of an entire society, there are certain periods, trends and trends are known, which, taken together, constitutes the history of this institution. These institutions, which have their own history, include university clinics. The history of these scientific and medical institutions usually has both bright and dark periods, depending not only on a purely scientific setting of the case, but often also on outsiders who have nothing in common with science that have no influence. Here, in a strictly scientific work, this is not the place to go into detail about such influences, but I would like to point out one of them as deserving special attention. This is the dependence of the clinic on city hospitals; it appears in the case when the University acquires one of the premises of city hospitals for clinical purposes. If the hospital business generally went hand in hand with the clinical one and pursued the same goals, then of course the interests of both that and the other institution would be completely identical and would not contradict one another.

The most likely time of infection of the fetus with ophthalmoblenorrhea is when the face of the fetus during childbirth is most closely in contact with the stretched walls of the uterus and vagina, and therefore this disease is most often expressed 3-4 days after childbirth (3-4 days of the incubation period). Much more rare are those cases where the child is already born with a clearly expressed disease.
