Gamification in Genetics: Effects of Gamified Instructional Materials on the STEM Students’ Intrinsic Motivation
Authors: Funa A. A. , Gabay R. A. E. , Ricafort J. D.
Published: January 2022

Gamification in education offers an innovative way of learning. However, some studies claim that, while it helps raise students' motivation, the kind of motivation is extrinsic and, so, intrinsic motivation declines with time. The researchers used the descriptive research design to describe the STEM students’ intrinsic motivation along with the utilization of game elements in teaching genetics through a learning management system. The researchers collected quantitative data using the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory, which were analyzed through descriptive statistics and complemented with qualitative data from the students' journals and interviews. Overall, the students agreed (M = 5.38, SD = 1.20) that gamification, despite being characterized as extrinsically motivating, had intrinsically motivated them. Its proper implementation helps students adapt to and overcome unfavorable behaviors towards competitiveness and emphasizes the role of teachers in facilitating learning. Time constraints, peer pressure, and distractions were noted; hence, more research is needed to address these challenges and determine the long-term effects of gamification.
Changes in cell wall components of Pinus sylvestris L. wood after 300 years in contact with salt (NaCl)
Authors: García-Iruela Alberto , García Esteban Luis , de Palacios Paloma , García Fernández Francisco , Martín-Sampedro Raquel , Eugenio María E.
Published: January 2022

Changes were evaluated in cell wall components, hygroscopicity, and thermodynamic properties of Pinus sylvestris L. wood that had been in contact with salt (NaCl) for 300 years in a former saltworks storehouse in Gerri de la Sal (Lérida, Spain), comparing it with recently felled wood (new wood) of the same species. The wood in contact with salt (salt-covered wood) had higher equilibrium moisture content values except in the first interval of the adsorption isotherm, probably because of mechanical blocking of polar sites by salt crystals. The high fibre saturation point values of this wood are caused by the salt dissolved in water above water activity of about 0.75. More energy is invested in the desorption process, and the values are higher in the salt-covered wood.
Ensino de literatura

Published: January 2022

Explicitar o conceito de arte literária e contribuir com os profissionais da educação na construção de seus saberes científicos sobre o ensino de literatura são os objetivos deste artigo, em razão da continuidade de uma prática de leitura do texto literário, ainda destituída do enfoque histórico-cultural bakhtiniano, que valoriza o ato de ler como um ato dialógico e ambivalente, de natureza estética (filosófica) e ideológica (social) da linguagem. Este texto propõe reflexões sobre a importância da teoria bakhtiniana para ressignificação das práticas docentes, no ensino da literatura. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa – um estudo de caso, que envolveu entrevistas semiestruturadas com doze professoras de uma escola pública paulista e observação de duas aulas (filmadas) de literatura. Da análise semiótica (bakhtiniana) dos dados resultaram discussões com as participantes sobre a relevância de uma epistemologia da prática docente, alicerçada na Filosofia Materialista da Linguagem.

Published: January 2022

O objetivo desta investigação está na proposição de indicadores da qualidade social da educação superior no arranjo do contexto emergente dos Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia. Como estratégia metodológica, utilizamos da abordagem qualitativa apoiada pela pesquisa documental na investigação dos documentos institucionais e bibliográfica no reconhecimento do acúmulo teórico do campo das avaliações institucionais pelo viés dos estudos críticos. Os resultados da investigação indicam a forma complexa como o fenômeno da qualidade social da educação se apresenta no contexto emergente dos Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia. A construção dos indicadores levou em consideração níveis internos e externos de dimensões estruturais próprias da instituição, a saber: Dimensão Política, Dimensão Social, Dimensão Institucional e Dimensão Pedagógica. A proposição colocada nesta investigação se mostra como uma possibilidade de entendimento da realidade institucional a partir de um olhar dos seus processos para além das métricas e dos índices estandardizados, considerando ainda a qualidade social da educação como um elemento imbricado a própria política educativa dos Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia.
Sobre o Estado ideal e a religião na obra As Leis de Platão
Authors: Cicco Claudio De , Gonzaga Alvaro de Azevedo , Labruna Felipe
Published: January 2022

As Leis de Platão apresentam-se como uma coleção de comandos jurídicos detalhados que trata sobre diversos temas, entre eles a composição do Estado ideal em uma cidade utópica chamada Magnésia e a imprescindibilidade na crença nas divindades. A preocupação de Platão com as crenças religiosas está associada à necessidade de manutenção da ordem moral e política. Para o filósofo, uma cidade em que seus habitantes duvidam da existência de seres superiores capazes de punir os ímpios será sempre vítima do caos moral. A crença nos deuses foi então defendida como elemento fundamental para o bem da pólis e a excelência dos cidadãos e, neste sentido, Platão tentou articular as dimensões humana e divina.
Same Language, Different Diet
Authors: Sinner Alejandro G. , Nieto-Espinet Ariadna , Valenzuela-Lamas Silvia
Published: January 2022

This study uses faunal and epigraphic evidence from the valley of Cabrera de Mar in present-day Catalonia (Spain) as proxies for understanding complex processes and dynamics of cultural change between the late Iron Age and early Roman times. The faunal remains indicate significant dietary change, although the epigraphic evidence implies that language—in contrast—changed at a slower pace, as shown by the use of indigenous onomastics and the continued use of the Iberian script, coin legends included. To ensure an interdisciplinary analysis, the study also discusses change as perceptible in architectural remains, ceramics and funerary practices. Our study shows that cultural change can take place at different levels and according to different rhythms, not only on regional and settlement planes but also at neighbourhood and household scales. Finally, our results highlight the value of archaeology as a tool for studying and understanding colonial encounters.
As transformações recentes no programa de reabilitação profissional do INSS
Authors: Kulaitis Fernando , Silva Kelen Clemente
Published: January 2022

Resumo Neste artigo, analisam-se as transformações ocorridas no Programa de Reabilitação Profissional do Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social desde 2009. Considera-se que o referido serviço foi concebido e operacionalizado com base no chamado campo da Saúde do Trabalhador, mas sofreu, a partir de 2018, um processo de desestruturação. As características desse processo são reveladas por meio da análise dos manuais técnicos de procedimentos (2011, 2016 e 2018), pois neles se encontram concepções teóricas, regras de organização e objetivos do serviço. O artigo é desenvolvido em três partes que evidenciam, sequencialmente, a construção do campo da Saúde do Trabalhador, sua inserção na política pública de Previdência Social e, enfim, sua operacionalização e suas transformações por meio dos manuais de procedimentos. Os resultados revelam um processo de desestruturação do programa, que se afasta de uma concepção multidimensional da saúde do trabalhador, ao mesmo tempo que a dimensão biológica se torna central.

Há a necessidade de educação permanente das equipes multiprofissionais dos serviços especializados e da atenção primária visando diminuir as barreiras e aumentar a cobertura vacinal desta clientela.
Os nomes da história em perspectiva: Nietzsche, Emerson, Roux
Authors: Sorosina Arnaud
Published: January 2022

Resumo: em 1881-1882, o pensamento de Nietzsche o levou a elaborar seu conceito de vontade de potência e a ideia do perspectivismo, mesmo que o termo ainda não apareça sob sua pena. No presente artigo nós pretendemos mostrar que a ideia de pôr em perspectiva diversas idiossincrasias intelectuais está no coração mesmo da compreensão nietzschiana do perspectivismo, precisamente uma vez que ele reflete sobre a natureza da história no confronto com Emerson e sobre a natureza da evolução ao que descobre Wilhelm Roux.

Published: January 2022

RESUMO Objetivo Realizar a equivalência cultural da versão brasileira da escala SSRS, por meio de sua adaptação cultural e linguística. Método Após tradução da SSRS para o português brasileiro e retro tradução para o inglês, os itens foram comparados com o instrumento original. As discrepâncias existentes foram modificadas por consenso por um comitê de fonoaudiólogos, resultando na Escala de Reinvestimento Específico na Fala – EREF. A EREF tem 39 questões e seis alternativas na chave de resposta: “discordo totalmente”, “discordo”, “discordo ligeiramente”, “concordo ligeiramente”, “concordo” e “concordo totalmente”. A pontuação é a soma das pontuações médias de cada subdimensão da escala, sendo que os itens negativos não entram na contabilidade ou exigem pontuação reversa. Para a equivalência cultural, a EREF foi aplicada em um total de 74 profissionais em exercício de atividade envolvendo comunicação com público, falantes do português brasileiro como primeira língua, com acréscimo da opção “não aplicável” na chave de respostas, para identificação de questões não compreendidas ou não apropriadas para a população alvo e cultura brasileira. Resultados A escala foi inicialmente aplicada em 56 participantes. Treze encontraram dificuldade para o preenchimento de 27 questões. Após a adaptação da tradução das sentenças não compreendidas ou consideradas inapropriadas, a EREF modificada foi aplicada em mais 13 respondentes e não foram encontradas barreiras culturais e/ou conceituais. Conclusão Foi verificada equivalência cultural entre a SSRS e sua versão traduzida para o português brasileiro, a EREF. As próximas etapas para validação da EREF para o Português Brasileiro serão realizadas com a conclusão desta fase.

Published: January 2022

Resumo Objetivo Verificar o efeito da repetição de estímulos âncoras no julgamento perceptivo auditivo do desvio vocal predominante realizado por estudantes de fonoaudiologia; analisar a relação entre o número de dimensões vocais dos estímulos sonoros e a acurácia; e investigar a relação entre o desvio vocal predominante e a acurácia. Método Participaram da pesquisa 54 estudantes de fonoaudiologia, divididos em: Grupo Com Repetição - GCR com 28 alunos; e Grupo Sem Repetição - GSR, 26 alunos. A amostra vocal consistiu de 220 vozes humanas disfônicas, vogal /ε/. O GCR escutou três estímulos âncoras, uma voz rugosa, uma soprosa e uma tensa, no início da tarefa e a cada 20 vozes. O GSR escutou os estímulos âncoras somente no início da tarefa de avaliação. Estas classificações foram comparadas com respostas referências produzidas por 3 fonoaudiólogas experientes. Analisamos a acurácia e a confiabilidade intra e interavaliadores, a correlação entre número de dimensões vocais e acurácia e a relação entre desvio vocal predominante e acurácia. Resultados Os grupos tiveram desempenhos semelhantes na acurácia do desvio vocal predominante. A confiabilidade intra e interavaliadores foi discretamente maior no GCR. A acurácia dos alunos foi inversamente proporcional ao número de dimensões vocais presentes nos estímulos. O desvio vocal de maior acurácia foi a soprosidade, e a de menor, a tensão. Conclusão A repetição dos estímulos âncoras melhorou a confiabilidade dos estudantes, mas não se mostrou efetiva na acurácia da classificação do desvio vocal predominante. O número de dimensões vocais nos estímulos sonoros interferiu na acurácia dos alunos.
The Effects of Vestibular Implants and Other Existing Treatment Options of Individuals with Bilateral Vestibular Hypofunction: A Review
Authors: Purohit Hitansh
Published: January 2022

Vestibular dysfunction (VD) is an experience that is shared by nearly 35% of Americans above the age of 40 (nearly 69 million). This percentage increases to 80% when looking at the population of individuals over the age of 80. VD can have tremendously negative health outcomes for patients. Improper vestibular function can result in a loss of balance and patients often cite vertigo as a common symptom, which is often associated with dramatically reduced quality of life. Falls are another common clinically significant outcome of VD and place a huge social and financial burden on the patient and healthcare system. Although the pathophysiology and treatment options for certain vestibular disorders have been well researched, disorders such as bilateral vestibular dysfunction (BVD), have had traditionally ineffective treatment options. That said, novel therapeutics such as vestibular implants (VIs) have been recently tested and showed positive health outcomes for patients with BVD. This review aims to investigate the health outcomes of patients who have received VIs, as well as discuss the limitations and existing treatment options.
Portuguese infinitives: their pieces and their meaning
Authors: Resende Maurício Sartori , Pires de Oliveira Roberta
Published: January 2022

Traditionally taken as one of the nominals forms of the verb, infinitives in Portuguese, in spite of their morphophonological homogeneity (-r), appear in a range of morphosyntactic contexts. This paper argues that all these contexts can be reduced to three, namely, a nominal, a verbal and a “mixed” – in the sense of Chomsky (1970). Specifically, by assuming Distributed Morphology (Halle & Marantz, 1993), it proposes a step-by-step morphosyntactic and semantic derivation of the contexts where the /R/-morpheme appears, also addressing the issues involving tense and aspect in these forms. In summary, we argue that nominal, verbal and mixed infinitives share the same derivational path up to AspP, which – we claim – is underdetermined, thus competing with (perfective) participles and (imperfective) gerunds. Above AspP, the first bifurcation is between no and T. Projecting no generates a predicate of events. By projecting T (in verbal and mixed infinitives), the system has a three-way path: T[+tense], where T will be futurate in relation to the finite matrix verb; T[–tense], where T will be simultaneous /anaphoric in respect to the finite matrix verb; or T[ ], where there is no c-commanding T and then, as last resort, the grammar will change this phrase into a predicate of events.

Measuring Change in Activity Participation of Mental Health Care Users Attending an Occupational Therapy Programme in Rural South Africa
Authors: Silaule Olindah , Casteleijn Daleen
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Lack of evidence on the effect of interventions is one of the several ongoing challenges facing healthcare services in South Africa. The increasing emphasis on routine outcome measurement has urged occupational therapists to demonstrate the impact of their intervention in mental health. This study aimed to evaluate the change in activity participation of the mental health care users attending an occupational therapy programme METHODS: A one-group pre/post-test design was used. The Activity Participation Outcome Measure (APOM) was administered to measure activity participation of 64 mental health care users. Five measurements were done between admission and follow-up after discharge RESULTS: Majority of the participants were between the ages of 20 - 29 and mainly diagnosed with substance use disorders. The effect sizes, Cohen's d (> 0.80) and Cohen's r (>0.37) demonstrated a significant positive change (p=0.00) across all APOM domains during hospitalisation. An insignificant change (p> 0.05) was noted in the effect sizes during the follow-up stages with a substantial decline in some of the APOM domains indicating that patients were not well-integrated into their communities CONCLUSION: This study revealed the importance of measuring change in participation for shaping clinical practice, to ensure meaningful intervention, and successful integration of MHCUs in their communities Keywords: routine outcome measurement, activity participation, occupational therapy, mental health, rural context.
Occupational Therapy Intervention for Hemiplegie Shoulder Pain in Adults Post-Stroke: A Zimbabwean Perspective
Authors: Jacobs-NzuziKhuabi Lee-Ann Juliana , de Klerk Susan , Tapfuma Mary
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Stroke is a leading cause of disability in Zimbabwe. Hemiplegie shoulder pain (HSP), a secondary complication of stroke, impedes the functional recovery of the upper limb and occupational engagement. Occupational therapy intervention, comprising assessment and treatment, seeks to promote health and well-being through facilitating improvement in occupational engagement. There is a lack of documented evidence on occupational therapy intervention practices (i.e., assessment and treatment) of HSP in the context of Harare, Zimbabwe. To allow for an increased understanding of HSP management, this study explored occupational therapists' assessment and treatment practices of post-stroke HSP in Harare, Zimbabwe METHOD: This explorative study included six experienced occupational therapists from three public hospitals in Harare, Zimbabwe. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using qualitative content analysis RESULTS: Data analysis revealed three themes, i.e., assessment of post-stroke HSP is all encompassing; key components of post-stroke HSP treatment practice and challenges in occupational therapy practice of post-stroke HSP in Harare CONCLUSION: Occupational therapy intervention practice for post-stroke HSP in Harare includes an eclectic approach, with preventative practices as a key component of treatment. Intervention should strive to be occupation-based and holistic encompassing considerations of environmental factors and the indicators of HSP Keywords: public health care, occupational therapy intervention, clinical practice, neurological upper limb conditions
Compensation of relay satellites heterodyne instability for locating terrestrial radio emission sources

Unintentional and intentional interference of terrestrial radio sources operating via geostationary relay satellites to legal users of satellite communication systems requires accurate determination of their location. Methods of terrestrial radio sources location are based on the calculation of an cross-аambiguity function by additive mixtures of signals and noise received from relay satellites. In the presence of frequency-phase instability of relay satellites heterodynes the retransmitted signals have phase distortions, which lead to a decrease in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when calculating the cross- ambiguity function. The paper is aimed to study the effect of phase distortions caused by the instability of relay satellites heterodynes on SNR at the correlator output and to develop methods for their compensation based on statistical radio engineering and digital signal processing. The study of the proposed compensation methods was carried out by statistical simulation modeling. The SNR dependences at the correlator output on the duration of correlated signals for the model with a domi-nant frequency noise and frequency random walk have been obtained and a method for compensat-ing phase distortions caused by the instability of the relay satellites heterodynes has been developed. The energy gain has been estimated by applying the proposed compensation method. It has been shown that the developed method of compensation of relay satellites heterodynes instability allows achieving a significant gain in the SNR at the correlator output and contributes to increasing the probability of radio source signal detection from auxiliary relay satellites.

The paper describes the design principles of multi-element broadband microwave attenuators of a high power level on film resistors. The proposed approaches make it possible to increase the input power level by several times or, at a constant input power, to significantly expand the ope¬rating frequency band. The studied attenuators with an insertion loss of 1-10 dB provide high-quality matching in the 0-2 GHz frequency band at an input power level of up to 500 W. These parameters are obtained by introducing quarter-wave sections of transmission lines with a certain wave imped-ance into the longitudinal and transverse branches of matched U-shaped and T-shaped dissipative structures.

The paper presents a method for obtaining some multilayer periodic CaF2/Si/CaF2/Si (111) structures with an emissivity in the visible region of the spectrum. A feature of this technique is that the deposition of Si and CaF2 layers was carried out at room temperature, followed by pulsed an-nealing. The photoluminescence spectra of the grown sample were obtained and measured at excitation wavelengths of 325 nm and 405 nm. The study of low-temperature photoluminescence was carried out with a laser with a wave-length of 405 nm, since no radiation in the structure was observed upon excitation with a laser with a wavelength of 325 nm. The photoluminescence spectra measured at room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature are presented, according to which the shift of the photoluminescence maximum by 20 nm was established. The FWHM decreased from 284 nm to 210 nm with decreasing tem-perature.
Passive interference simulation in radars with digital antenna arrays
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation, Vasyukov Vasily N. , Pichikov Ivan A. ,   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation
Published: January 2022

The problem of imitation modeling of passive interference is considered in the context of devel-oping algorithms for space-time processing of broadband signals in a radar system with a digital antenna array. Spectral and correlation characteristics of passive noise are discussed in the frame-work of Gaussian, polynomial (fractional rational) and exponential models. Due to the broadband nature of probing signals, the formation of the antenna array directional pattern is carried out by controlling the time delays of oscillations arriving at the array elements, which is implemented in the frequency domain through complex weighting factors. Modeling of passive interference as a sta-tionary complex random process is performed in discrete "slow" time, with each complex vector of samples being spaced from neighboring vectors by the value of the repetition period of the probing pulses. The known method for modeling passive interference based on a shaping recursive filter is unsuitable for use in the case of an interference spectrum other than rational. The method for model-ing the vector of correlated samples using the Cholesky expansion of the noise covariance matrix is inapplicable when the correlation coefficient is close to one. A method is proposed for modeling masking extended passive interference of a wide class based on filtering a sequence of complex pseudo-random vectors in the frequency domain with the use of a fast Fourier transform.
¿Cómo se convierte un diccionario general en un diccionario de ELE?
Authors: Liu Jiani
Published: January 2022

Tradicionalmente se ha considerado que los diccionarios didácticos eran reducciones de los diccionarios generales: alrededor de un diccionario general, proliferaba una familia de diccionarios particulares, entre los que no faltaba uno dirigido a usuarios que estaban en un proceso de aprendizaje de la lengua. Sin embargo, con la evolución de la lexicografía de un tiempo a esta parte, esas soluciones han dejado de ser satisfactorias, ya que se espera que los diccionarios respondan a las necesidades específicas de cada tipo de usuario. En el español tenemos el caso de dos diccionarios de gran prestigio de la editorial SM, el Clave, diccionario general, y el Diccionario de español para extranjeros, entre los que se identifica una clara relación. Con el fin de hacer explícitos los criterios que se aplican a la hora de elaborar un diccionario de aprendizaje a partir de uno general, se realiza un estudio comparativo a partir de un corpus del 5% de las voces de los dos volúmenes para demostrar que, en este caso, el diccionario de español para extranjeros no es solo una reducción del diccionario general, sino que se han introducido modificaciones pensadas específicamente para los aprendices de segunda lengua o lenguas extranjeras tanto en la macroestructura como en la microestructura.

Встречаются такие люди, общение с которыми, , оставляет неизгладимый след. Почему эта статья не появилась раньше, объяснения не требует по одной простой причине. Авторы в разной степени участвовали в совместных с Татьяной Геннадьевной Богомазовой проектах. Ожидание, что такие все разные мы смогли бы написать один общий текст – абсолютно бессмысленно. Он был бы, прежде всего безликим, а, во-вторых, не смог бы передать в полной мере особенности наших плодотворных контактов. Поэтому было принято совместное решение разделить статью на отдельные части, чтобы каждый мог изложить свои соображения. Два годя спустя, после её такого внезапного ухода (http://novayagazeta.spb.ru/articles/10136) мы не только продолжаем начатые ею дела, но и постоянно возвращаемся к её идеям, развиваем то, что задумывалось вместе с любимой всеми Танечкой.
Features of the legal and military dimension of US foreign policy
Authors:   State Institution «Institute of World History of NAS of Ukraine», Lakishyk Dmytro

The role of the United States in the security system of the global international space is difficult to overestimate. At the same time, the question of the degree to which America’s national security strategies are consistent with the requirements of international security is increasingly being questioned. On the one hand, the shift in emphasis to humanitarian values has made it more logical to use modern force to address issues such as the spread of WMD or genocide. On the other hand, the practice of American action in the Middle East and Central Asia has demonstrated the limits of power policy through the use of high technology in the use of traditional structures and strategies. The aim of the article is to analyze the transformational aspect of US security and defense policy, the impact of which becomes more significant than technological innovation. The study, based on the methods of political analysis, identified the main characteristics of American world leadership, which includes military power, economic competitiveness, moral authority, active participation in international political processes on a global scale and efforts to streamline the international system. Conclusions. Responding to change must begin with an analysis of the social foundations of threats and, above all, the role of the social factor in modern wars. In case of unsuccessful application, technological power not only does not solve the problem, but also strengthens its social roots. Such a scenario creates a very dangerous situation for the United States, where counteraction can be crystallized or cover conflict sectors that are unusual for Americans. It is important to keep in mind that today’s security threats extend to specific citizens and communities more than to the state as a whole. That is why the world community’s acceptance of the American vision of international development in areas such as human rights and development is so important to America. While security is based on military capabilities in today’s world, its new forms and configurations require the embodiment of types of forceful intervention that are not always consistent with classical doctrines and strategic approaches.
Latin American and the Caribbean countries approaches to the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in 2014
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Shevchenko Nataliya
Published: January 2022

The aim of this article is to study the positions of the leading states of the Latin American region and the Caribbean on the issue of Ukraine’s territorial integrity in the context of the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in 2014. The research methodology is based on the principle of historicism and problem-chronological and integrated approaches, comparative and analytical methods, which helped to trace the positions of the states of the region on this issue when voting for the UN General Assembly resolution on the territorial integrity of Ukraine of March 27, 2014 and to determine internal and external factors that might affect them. The scientific novelty of the study is based on the fact that for the first time in the Ukrainian historical science the author conducted a comprehensive analysis of the positions of the LAC states on this issue. Obtained results will help our Ministry of Foreign Affairs in shaping Ukraine’s strategy in this region, including in the context of the implementation of the «Crimean Platform». Conclusions: In their attitude to the territorial integrity of Ukraine, the LAC countries were divided into several regional groups. Mainly the countries of the Pacific Alliance and some states of Central America and the Caribbean supported the territorial integrity of Ukraine. The annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation was supported by the main members of the Bolivarian Alliance (ALBA) – Bolivia, Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua. The members of the regional association MERCOSUR and part of the English–speaking states of the Caribbean have shown «restrained» positions. The «Crimean precedent» has become not only a «challenge» for regional security, but also a «challenge» at the global level. This showed that the LAC countries, which for the past several decades in a multipolar world have tried to position themselves in the international arena as states that do not recognize the division into «spheres of influence» during the Cold War and build their relations on the basis of equal partnership, in fact have demonstrated not just solidarity with the Russian Federation, but the recognition of its sphere of geopolitical influence in Ukraine and, more broadly, in the post–Soviet space and in Eastern Europe. And this, in turn, could potentially lead to attempts to restore «spheres of influence» in other parts of the world, including the Western Hemisphere itself.
Ethiopia and the Egyptian-Ethiopian conflict in the context of American-Ethiopian relations (1955 – 1957)
Authors:   Odessa І. І. Mechnikov National University, Yahovkin Anton
Published: January 2022

In this article, the author aims to explore the place and role of Egyptian-Ethiopian relations during the Suez Crisis in US geopolitical strategies. The scientific novelty lies in a comprehensive analysis of the impact of the Suez Crisis on the East African region in the context of US foreign policy. Research methods. Historical-genetic method is used in the article, which gave an opportunity to explore the genesis of East African politics of the USA, to identify the main tendencies of this policy direction at every stage. A systematic approach was used for the comprehensive analysis of the USA East Africa policy in 1955–1957, which gave an opportunity to identify economic and geopolitical interests of the USA in East Africa, goals and objectives of major counties towards Egypt and Ethiopia, and to trace in this regard the attitude of the USA towards Ethiopia’s confrontation with Egypt. Conclusions. Despite the orientation of the Foreign policy of the emperor of Ethiopia to the USA and his attempts to satisfy the USA interests (including the allocation of a military base in Ethiopia), Haile Selassie I failed to fully attract not only American private fund but also to make Ethiopia one of the Foreign policy priorities of the USA government. Ethiopia was of no interest to the USA not only as a potential economic partner (it remained an agricultural country with obsolete modes of production), but also as a military ally. The USA supported some plans of the emperor of Ethiopia, for example the project of accession of Eritrea to the Ethiopian Empire, for the following reasons only:1. due to independent Eritrean country’s insolvency; 2. due to the necessity to maintain peace and order in the northeastern Africa, on the west coast of the Red Sea. «Right» was given to the Ethiopian Empire, which needed the access to the sea and which at that time had a relatively strong army capable to battle any inner reaction and to defend the borders of Eritrea, where American military bases were located.
Attempt to Harmonize International Contract Law: Analysing the Role of CISG and UNIDROIT
Authors: Srutee Badu, Sanyukta Saxena

The United nations commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) is a body under the U.N. General Assembly established on 1966 for the purpose of facilitating the international trade through harmonization, unification and codification of international trade law. To achieve this the commission uses different conventions, model laws etc. One of the major convention drawn up by the UNCITRAL commission was CISG (United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods) developed in 1968. The CISG is considered as a successful instrument which focuses on facilitating international trade among the contracting states. It is estimated that 80% of the world's trade in goods is potentially governed by the CISG.[1] It provides the duties of all contracting parties and expressly lay down the principle, formation of contract, terms, remedies in case of breach.[2] The commission under UNCITRAL draws the convention of CISG by relying heavily on the UNIDROIT( International Institute for the Unification of Private Law). The UNIDROIT’s objective is to harmonize private laws across different nations through model laws and it has also developed soft law instruments. Unlike CISG, UNIDRIOT principles will only apply only when it is chosen by the parties under the contract.
THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES ON SELF-LEARNING IN MATHEMATICS

Published: January 2022

During the pandemic, digital technologies had a major impact on self-directed learning in mathematics. Without digital skills and self-directed learning, everyday learning is unthinkable, as learning in 2020 has largely taken place remotely. It is important for students to acquire these skills in order to learn fully and qualitatively at a distance. These acquired skills are and will be useful in full-time studies and later in life. Digital literacy allows the student to develop self-directed learning and self-directed learning develops digital literacy. Both of these skills are interrelated and help you learn math. The student's skills are greatly influenced by internal and external life factors, which unfortunately cannot be influenced by the educational institution. Thus, these negative factors also affect the student's motivation and discipline for learning and learning outcomes are low. The research analyzes the scientific literature and emphasizes the author's personal experience.
