Authors:   Kamyanets-Podilsky Ivan Ohienko National University, Vatamaniuk Halyna
Published: September 2022

The article characterizes the features of music as a factor for forming the instrumental component of pre-schoolers communication. The concept of "instrumental component of preschoolers' communication" is considered as a set of symbolic (verbal and nonverbal) and non-symbolic (image-emotional) means and ways of their use in the communicative process taking into account individual characteristics of its participants and of the peculiarities of a communicative situation. The functions of the instrumental component are outlined, namely: arrangement of prerequisites for communication with other people (tuning) and its performing (behaviour during the communicative process using a set of tools), which provides the technical component (skills) of the communication. A comparative analysis of speech and music as a communicative means were conducted according to the following criteria: method of development and enrichment, the nature of the "building material", the modality of basic information, the level of abstraction, the role of intonation (rhythm, tempo, timbre and articulation), the nature of structuring and the process of perception. It is proven that the formation of the instrumental component of communication in pre-schoolers is based on a combination of rational, which prevails in the process of using speech and emotional means, which comes to the fore in perception of music. It is demonstrated that the uniqueness of music as a factor for forming the instrumental component of communication in pre-schoolers consists of the potential thereof to provide a direct emotional exchange between communicators.

The article analyzes the content of the formation of communicative competence of junior students on the basis of semantic perception of the work of art; recent research and publications; the purpose, tasks and methods of research are determined; the essence and structure of communicative competence of the personality of the junior schoolboy are considered. The terms "text" and "work" are described, the distinction between which is not always properly understood. It is determined that the communicative competence of junior schoolchildren is an integrated quality of personality, which is manifested in the ability to form a motivational and value basis of communication; master and apply language knowledge, skills and abilities; establish and maintain contacts with other people using various means of interaction. Speech and literary development are components of one process – the formation of the creative personality of the student. They are interconnected: we develop literary abilities by means of language, and language means in the process of reading activities in the lessons of literary reading reveal the artistic, aesthetic and moral and ethical value of the read work. The increase of efficiency of reading lessons is described, which directly promotes the growth of active speech activity, enriches students' speech with artistic expressions, which they try to use in their practical speech. The article substantiates the psychological and pedagogical factors of formation of communicative competence, analyzes didactic conditions and methodological support, identifies ways to improve speech skills in the lessons of literary reading and working with children's books. Conclusions are made and possible prospects of further researches in the specified direction are described.

Published: September 2022

Based on a study of practical training of future bachelors of marine engineers in the educational discipline «Radio Equipment and Radio Communications» on training equipment the author points out the importance of introducing modern teaching methods and methodological support in the educational process on the training equipment professional and professional experience to take optimal action in performing a specific task in a particular on board ship situation. The importance of methodological support for the development of practical skills and the formation of professionalism of cadets on the training equipment has been proven at a high scientific and pedagogical level. Attention is drawn to the relevance of the study because the tasks set for cadets are too difficult due to their lack of experience with radio equipment which they cannot quickly master, and all this is the greater part of their uncertainty in their actions. In addition, it should be noted that the cadet has no idea how the radio communication system works on the training equipment. The key problem of the article is to prove the effectiveness of the use of training equipment with the use of modern teaching methods and methodological support in the educational process which provides a better approach to their impact on the operation of the vessel taking into account the special comments and introductory actions of the teacher. A very important point is that the author justifies the gradual adaptation of the cadet to the technical system of the simulator at each stage of training in which the joint work of the cadet and teacher in the transfer of information allows to determine a single approach to the methodological system where is a person who performs his duties by technical means.

EFL teaching is focused primarily on developing four basic skills such as reading, speaking, listening and writing that compile speech competence. As a rule, other competencies (language, sociocultural, strategic and discursive) are ignored or accorded very low priority in the EFL classroom. We believe that socio-cultural skills help to sufficiently interact in the world community. In our opinion, the study of cultural diversity should be a mandatory part of EFL university courses. During the first year of university study, it is desirable to develop general socio-cultural skills, the next period of study should be focused on developing sociocultural competence in a professional context. The present paper addresses cross-cultural, linguacultural and sociolinguistic aspects of sociocultural competence. The experience in integrating different in-class activities to improve socio-cultural skills was considered. The results of the study revealed that the basic requirement for textbooks and training exercises is authenticity. The language instructors are convinced that cultural context role-plays, games and project work can enhance the developing sociocultural competence. Few studies deal with acquiring sociocultural skills through technology. The major focus of these research papers is on E-mail, chat, blogs, and video-conferencing as effective tools for sociocultural learning. We, in turn, recommend integrating podcasting technology into the socio-cultural study. Such characteristics of podcasts as authenticity, cultural context materials and the possibility to communicate with native speakers through podcast chats make it an efficient technology to be incorporated into EFL learning and teaching. Further study will consider the issue of developing and improving socio-cultural skills with the help of technology.

The article presents the results of research the peculiarities of forming applicants for education’s information competence at different levels, taking into account the realities and challenges associated with the transition to innovative educational standards. In particular, the positions concerning underestimation of the importance of personality-oriented work with information. It’s about ensuring understanding of texts, their deep meanings, ability to interpret them on the basis of established values, attitudes, priorities of personal development are substantiated. The meta-subject nature of information competence is proved, substantiating that there is no subject that would not be endowed with the potential of its development, and the system of its formation is realized only if all invariant basic positions are observed by all teachers, constant coordination of common approaches as a result of their constructive cooperation. The essence of the educational approach to forming information competence of applicants for education is analyzed, focusing on the possibilities of such disciplines as philosophy, literature, pedagogy and their potential in ensuring personal orientation of work with the text (educational, literary, etc.). It is substantiated that such integrated approach to working with information promotes the transition to innovative educational standards, ensures the implementation of adequate forms and methods of forming key competencies, which include information and on the basis of which the ability to learn, realize their intellectual potential Thus, the information competence of the applicants for education is a complex and multidimensional entity. It is based not only on the technical features of working with information, which in the era of rapid development of information technology is particularly important, while underestimating the semantic features of working with information that is implemented on a personality-oriented basis. That is why it is so important at the stage of transition to innovative educational standards to ensure the integration of common approach as to forming key competencies at all educational levels. Especially it concerns the professional training of future teachers.

The growing shortage of oil resources makes it necessary to find alternative energy sources. The leading place among them today belongs to biofuels, both due to sufficient and affordable resources, and relatively advanced technologies for their production. The requirements of modern standards for the quality of the resulting gasolines limit the content of aromatic hydrocarbons in them to no more than 42% by mass. (Euro-3), and 35% of the mass. (Euro-4 and Euro-5). Therefore, studies on the involvement of vegetable raw materials in the processes of obtaining gasoline fractions are aimed either at obtaining highly aromatic gasoline with its subsequent compounding, or at searching for catalytic systems that make it possible, if any, to reduce the content of aromatic hydrocarbons in the composition of the resulting gasolines during joint cracking of the mixture of oil and vegetable raw materials. In this work, using the model oleic acid as an example, the mechanism of the conversion of fatty acids of vegetable oils during their catalytic conversion into hydrocarbons of the gasoline series was studied. The process was studied using a mixture of vacuum gas oil with vegetable oils as cracking catalysts, industrial cracking catalysts Omnikat-210P and Tseokar-600 in pure form and in their mixture with natural halloysite nanotubes. Halloysites belong to the family of kaolinite clay minerals with a high Al/Si ratio as compared to other aluminosilicates and have a predominantly hollow tubular structure and consist of layers of aluminum and silicon oxides that are rolled into tubes. The process of catalytic cracking of vacuum gas oil with the involvement of vegetable oils (waste vegetable oils taken from the Chudo-Pechka chain of stores) in the amount of 5 wt % was studied.

The activity of tungsten-containing catalysts in the reaction of isomerization of butene-1 to butenes-2 was studied in the work. The results obtained showed that the ^ introduction of the second element into the composition of the tungsten oxide catalyst had a different effect on its activity in the butene-1 isomerization reaction. It was established that an increase in the amount of molybdenum in the composition of a binary tungsten-containing catalyst at low temperatures leads to a decrease in the degree of butene-1 isomerization while at high temperatures it leads to an increase in the rate of butene-1 isomerization. It found that the addition of titanium to the composition of the tungsten oxide catalyst leads to an increase in the butene-1 isomerization rate. When copper is added to the composition of the tungsten oxide catalyst, the total yield of butene-2 passes through a maximum, and on samples rich in copper, the isomerization of butene-1 practically does not occur. It revealed that the activity of binary tungsten oxide catalysts in the isomerization reaction of butene-1 to butenes-2 changes in the following order: Ti-W-O > Mo-W-O > Cu-WO.

The conversion of the higher education and literature ontology into RelOntoUML
Authors: Agárdi Anita
Published: September 2022

In this article, I will transform an ontology representing higher education and an ontology representing a library into the RelOntoUML model. RelOntoUML modeling is a modeling created from a combination of relational model, ontology, and UML modeling. The relational model is used for database storage. The data is stored in relations. Ontology is a tool for knowledge representation. The ontology describes the elements of a topic. The UML model visually represents the elements of a topic. One of the disadvantages of the ontology model is that software developers are not familiar with it, but UML diagrams and the relational model are well known. The two models (CollageMngtSys, Literature) that will be presented and converted can be downloaded from the gihub in OWL format, and are open source. In this article, after introducing the ontology, relational model, and UML, these two systems are introduced and converted.

This paper summarizes an advanced model and a practiceoriented approach to solve scheduling problems of discrete manufacturing systems. An advanced scheduling approach is presented which is able to adapt to the requirements of real-life situations by taking into consideration the specific characteristics of modern manufacturing and assembly systems. These detailed constraints and capabilities of the actual resource environment include the alternative technological routes, the limited available machines, the unrelated processing time, the sequence dependent setup time and the jobs with due dates. An extended flexible job shop scheduling model is defined to solve the resource allocation problems and to create the fine schedule of the execution of jobs, tasks and operations. The paper describes the most important characteristics of the analyzed problem class and shows the main approach of the developed heuristic solving method. Our approach combines a special searching technique based on fast execution-driven simulation with a multi-objective optimization model.

Published: September 2022

A szabadföldi kisparcellás nehézfém terhelési tartamkísérlet beállítására 1994 őszén a Károly Róbert Főiskola Tass-pusztai Tangazdaságában (ma Magyar Agrár- és Élettudományi Egyetem, Károly Róbert Campus) került sor csernozjom barna erdőtajon. A növényi cink- és rézfelvétel vizsgálata 1996, 2001, 2002 években  történt, ekkor a növények és a talaj Cu- és Zn-tartalma is meghatározásra került. A vizsgált években a jelzőnövény a kukorica (Zea mays L.), az őszi árpa (Hordeum vulgare L.), a fehér mustár (Sinapis alba L.) és a lucerna (Medicago sativa L.) volt. A növények Cu és Zn felvételét a talaj-növény transzfer koefficiensek meghatározásával értékeltük. A vizsgált nehézfémek talaj-növény transzfer koefficiensének ismeretében lehetőség van annak vizsgálatára is, hogy az „oldható” (NH4-acetát+EDTA) elemtartalom mennyiben felel meg a tényleges növényi elemfelvételnek. Ehhez meghatároztuk az egyes nehézfémek megoszlási arányának értékeit a talaj „oldható” és „összes” (cc.HNO3+cc.H2O2) elemtartalmának hányadosaként. A talaj-növény transzfer koefficiensek értékei alapján a cink mobilisabbnak mutatkozott a réznél. A cink megoszlási aránya a transzfer koefficiens értékének átlagosan 1/5-e volt. Ez azt mutatja, hogy cinkből a talajnak vannak olyan, a növények számára felvehető tartalékai, amelyek Lakanen-Erviö (1971) módszerérel nem mutathatók ki. A réz esetén a megoszlási arány és a talaj-növény transzfer koefficiens értéke nem mutatott jelentős eltérést.

Background and Objectives: Cardiorespiratory endurance refers to the ability of the heart and lungs to deliver oxygen to working muscles during continuous physical activity, which is an important indicator of physical health. Physical activity is a complex multidimensional behaviour that is difficult to assess in free-living populations and for which a gold standard measurement does not exist. Thereby, we assessed cardiovascular fitness among young sedentary adults using 1600 M walking test
Methods:   The study participants were assessed for Pulse rate, Respiratory rate, Blood pressure and oxygen saturation at rest followed by 1st, 2nd, 3rd and after 5 minutes after 1600 M walking test.
Results: There were no significant changes in pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure; both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and oxygen saturation across both the genders after performing 1600 M walk at 1st 2nd and 5th minutes except significant changes for respiratory rate (P=0.03) & systolic blood pressure (P =0.02).
Conclusion: There is no single gold standard for estimating the cardiac endurance and fitness. It has to be assessed for Vo2 along with basic parameters and need to be repeated to validate the outcome and reduce the bias in case of aerobic exercises.

Revisit Bonds Market and Aggregate Output Nexus: The Malaysian Case
Authors: Ahmad Suhaimi Aiman Safwan , Ong Hway-Boon
Published: September 2022

The capability of the bonds market to channel savings to investors plays a significant role in promoting aggregate output. However, some recent studies argue that the connection between bond market development and economic activities is uncertain. The purpose of this study is to examine how the bonds market in Malaysia may affect its aggregate output based on the period between 1990 to 2020. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds test is applied to study the nexus of the bonds market and the aggregate output of Malaysia. The results suggest a positive effect of private and public bonds on the economy of Malaysia. The findings imply a long-term effect running from the bonds market to aggregate output, supporting the notion that the bonds market has a direct and positive effect on channelling a surplus of funds to finance economic activities in Malaysia.

Published: September 2022

La financiación, por ser fuente de recursos, juega un papel importante para el desarrollo de las pymes. Cuando un microempresario quiere iniciar su propio negocio o mantener sus actividades económicas, necesita contar con capital suficiente para inversiones en infraestructura, gastos, insumos y productos que va a comercializar, que a futuro influirán en el éxito o fracaso de su negocio. Este trabajo de investigación, por tanto, se inicia con una breve descripción sobre la manera como están constituidas las pymes y su importancia para el país como generadoras de empleo. Seguidamente, con ayuda de la revisión de estudios de otros autores y de elementos teóricos, se presenta un rastreo histórico acerca instrumentos financieros, sistema bancario y financiación. Por último, estos cuestionamientos se ilustran con una investigación cualitativa realizada por medio de una encuesta a 55 empresarios de la ciudad de Medellín, que buscó identificar la percepción que ellos tienen sobre los instrumentos financieros. Adicionalmente se hace un análisis de caso, en el que se aplica una simulación de crédito con entidades y líneas de crédito distintas, con el fin de identificar cual se ajusta más a la necesidad del empresario.
JÁN KOLLÁR’S EPISTOLARY DISCOURSE
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, DANYLENKO L. I.
Published: September 2022

The article analyzes the epistolary discourse of Ján Kollár using the categories and concepts of modern linguistic pragmatics. The subject of the study was 16 letters addressed to V. Ganka, V. Kopitar, K. Ya. Erben, S. Grobon, V. A. Maciejowski in the period from 1824 to 1851. The study of the material is based on the method of subjectobject interpretation of the addressee’s communication. The analysis of Ján Kollár’s texts showed that his epistolary discourse is a speechlanguage work that was created with regard to the chronologically determined national epistolary tradition. Contacts and the content of Ján Kollár’s communication concerned primarily the socio-political and cultural sphere related to his professional activities. The socio-cultural dimension, within which the communication took place, determined the addressee’s socio-pragmatic role, and their civil position, influenced the topics of the correspondence, its personal and subject components, and assumed dialogue. The components of the studied epistolary discourse are characterized by the following features: formality — informality, distance — non-distance of communication, the hierarchy of relations, and observance of etiquette norms with their mainly emotional verbal design. Markers of politeness in Ján Kollár’s letters are etiquette lexical means, as well as tropes metaphors, and phraseology, which are methods of expressing the author’s empathic moods. Individual features include numerous author innovations. Thus, the social and socio-psychological characteristics of the author affected the language, structure, and content of his epistolary discourse. Kollár’s epistolary legacy is also important in the extralingual aspect. It serves as an additional source for studying the role of the author in social, literary, and scientific circles of his time.

Published: September 2022

La curricularización del profesionalismo y la construcción de profesionalidad en medicina veterinaria son ejes de los nuevos diseños curriculares a nivel internacional. El objetivo de este trabajo fue realizar un análisis exploratorio de las concepciones de estudiantes de primer año sobre el profesionalismo, las  características de un buen profesional y las capacidades más importantes que debe tener el mismo para desempeñarse en el mundo laboral. Se administró un cuestionario de respuesta abierta a 90 estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias, Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. Las concepciones identificadas presentaron la mayoría de los componentes o atributos de la profesionalidad reconocidos en diferentes modelos teóricos. Los resultados indicarían la presencia de una base cognitiva importante que permitiría incluir de manera explícita el trabajo con capacidades, habilidades y valores profesionales en los planes de estudio desde el momento mismo del ingreso.
pdf	03. Sexually dimorphic growth and maturity in captive mountain chicken frogs Leptodactylus fallax
Authors: MICHAELS CHRISTOPHER J.
Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT - Sexual dimorphism is commonly encountered in amphibians. Its presence and its ontogeny in a given species has implications for ecology, conservation and captive husbandry. We monitored changes in length and mass of captive mountain chicken frogs Leptodactylus fallax. Initially, sexes were no different in snout-vent length or mass, but by about 17 months after metamorphosis females became significantly larger and heavier than males. Diverging growth trajectories between male and female frogs appeared to coincide with the development of secondary sexual characters in males, indicating sexual maturity, while female frogs did not produce nests until the following breeding season, suggesting later reproductive maturity. The absence of similar dimorphism in other large leptodactylids suggests that its presence in L. fallax may be linked to its unique and energy-intense reproductive strategy, which involves extended maternal provisioning of their young.
06. Diet of the recently introduced white-lipped frog Leptodactylus fragilis from a suburban ecosystem in western Cuba
Authors: GARCÍA-PADRÓN L. YUSNAVIEL
Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT - Diet and trophic interactions are essential for understanding aspects of the natural history of a species and evaluating its role within the ecosystem. A successful coloniser often has the ability to exploit a wide variety of prey during its establishment and may generate negative impacts due to competition with the local fauna. During both the dry and rainy seasons of 2019, in a suburban ecosystem in western Cuba, we analysed the diet of the recently introduced white-lipped frog Leptodactylus fragilis. Captured frogs were measured and stomach-flushed and released 24 h after analysis at the site of capture. Ninety-one L. fragilis were captured, 73 of them (80.2 %) had prey in the stomach. The most consumed prey were beetles, followed by spiders, and crickets. No difference was observed in prey consumption between seasons. This frog may change its foraging strategy according to the habitat it occupies. In this study, we observed high values of food niche breadth, which may imply a greater competition of L. fragilis for food resources with the native syntopic anurans in Cuba. Studies on temporal and spatial dynamics are needed to understand the possible competitive interaction with native amphibians in this area.
