Authors: Guttin Talia , McKay Todd , Light Tracy Penny , Wise Lauren Nicki , Baillie Sarah
Published: May 2023

Carol Dweck's mindset theory describes whether an individual believes that attributes, like intelligence or morality, can be honed (growth mindset) or are innate (fixed mindset). An educator's mindset impacts their approach to teaching, students’ learning, participation in faculty development, and well-being. Mindset can affect faculty members’ openness to curricular change, making the study of veterinary educator mindset timely and salient, as competency-based education is spurring curricular change worldwide. The purpose of this study was to examine the mindsets of veterinary educators internationally. A survey, consisting of demographic questions and mindset items (based on previously published scales), was distributed electronically to veterinary educators internationally, at universities where English is the primary instruction medium. Mindset was evaluated for the following traits: intelligence, clinical reasoning, compassion, and morality. Scale validation, descriptive statistics, and associations to demographic variables were evaluated. A total of 446 complete surveys were received. Overall, the study population demonstrated predominantly growth mindsets for all traits, higher than population averages, with some variation by trait. There was a small effect on years teaching toward growth mindset. No other associations were found. Veterinary educators internationally who participated in this study demonstrated higher rates of growth mindset than the general population. In other fields, a growth mindset in educators has had implications for faculty well-being, teaching and assessment practices, participation in faculty development, and openness to curricular change. Further research is needed in veterinary education to evaluate the implications of these high rates of growth mindset.

Published: May 2023

The article systematizes the achievements of Ukrainian Deaflympic athletes in competitions in orienteering at the international events (European Championships, World Championships, Deaflympic Games). For the first time a study of morphofunctional indicators of qualified athletes in orienteering. The results are given in a table showing individual morphofunctional indicators (weight, height, heart rate, VO2 Max, etc.) of qualified athletes who have hearing impairments. In addition to individual indicators, the average morphfunctional indicators for candidates and members of the Deaf orienteering national team are presented. The authors point out that men have significant differences in VO2 max unlike women. Thus, the highest indicator among men was 66 and the lowest 48. At the same time, no direct dependence of the level of sports achievements on the level of VO2 max was found. It is noted that men with the highest and lowest VO2 max have reached the same in sports results – became champions of the Deaflympic Games. The proposed research is the basis for the development and identification of model characteristics of qualified orienteering athletes in the deafsport.

The stage of specialized basic training is important in the further development of sports skills of male and female figure skaters. At this stage of training, mastering, and improving complex jumps, rotations, jumps in rotation, step paths and spirals, which will form the basis of high sports results in the future. Purpose: determination of the features of the competitive activity of figure skaters and the structure of ensuring the competitive result. Methodology: To solve the set goal and tasks of the research, a complex of interrelated methods was used, including methods of the theoretical level of research (analysis, comparison, induction, deduction, systematization and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, regulatory and legal documents and information resources of the Internet with problems of special training of skaters at the stage of specialized basic training in the preparatory period); empirical research methods (pedagogical observation, pedagogical experiment to determine the effectiveness of the developed program for improving the special physical training of skaters at the stage of specialized basic training in the preparatory period, evaluation of competitive activity, general and special physical fitness); mathematical statistics (factor analysis). Scientific novelty: The results of the factor analysis of ensuring the competitive result showed for the first time that the largest percentage of variance (46.24%) among skaters was attributed to the speed-power factor, 33.25% to the coordination factor, and 18.32% to the flexibility factor. In figure skaters, a slightly different factor structure of ensuring a competitive result was observed: in the first place was the coordination factor, the percentage of the total variance of which is equal to 43.66%, in the second place - the speed-power factor (30.69%), in the third place - the flexibility factor (19.65 %). Conclusions: at the stage of specialized basic training, coordination abilities and indicators of vestibular stability play the most important role in the success of competitive activity in figure skaters, and in figure skaters – speed and strength, which must be considered during the development of an experimental program for improving special physical fitness.
Influence of temperament types on the personality of sport fishermen
Authors: Dakalenko O. , Dolbysheva N.G. , Kovalenko N.
Published: May 2023

A certain combination of temperament which is manifested in the cognitive processes, actions and communication of sport fishermen determines their individual style of activity. This style of activity is a system of dynamic features of actions that depend on temperament; this activity includes work techniques that are typical of a certain sport fisherman. What we observe when we study the dynamics of the actions of a sport fisherman, we perceive as signs of his temperament (different movements, reactions), forms of behavior in different fishing conditions are often a reflection not only of temperament, but also of an individual style of activity, the features of which may coincide and diverge with temperament. The purpose of our research is to conduct a systematic psychological analysis of the influence of temperament types on the personality of sport fishermen (fishing for peaceful fish) and spinning athletes (fishing for predatory fish). The personality of a sport fisherman and temperament are interconnected in such a way that temperament acts as a common basis for many other personal qualities, above all – a character. What is new is that at the level of temperament, in the formed character, a significant component is the belief system. Sports conviction and confidence determines the long-term orientation of the behavior of a sport fisherman, his steadfastness in achieving his goals, confidence in the fairness and importance of the work he is doing. Temperament types help to build character. Therefore, the character, despite its multifaceted nature, forms and develops the personality of a sport fisherman. Temperament and its mixed forms reflect the dynamic aspects of the mental processes and behavior of a sport fisherman, mostly innate in nature, that is, personality properties that are not subject to change under the influence of living conditions and sport. Under certain conditions of competitive activity, the type of temperament of a sport fisherman (fishing for peaceful fish) can acquire the traits of a choleric or sanguine person, and sport spinningists (fishing for predatory fish) acquire the traits of phlegmatic and melancholic. Such a symbiosis proves that an internally purposeful change in one's own type of temperament necessary for participation in competitions is extremely important. This will help to achieve positive results, which will have a positive effect on the personality of a sport fishermen.

The article presents the results of a survey conducted in secondary general education schools with the state language of instruction. This work is a continuation of the ideas outlined in References under № 3, 4. In addition, this article opens up opportunities for further sociolinguistic research in the regions chosen as experimental bases. The authors of the article draw attention to the ambiguity of understanding of the term “trilingualism”, to the fact that the very content of this concept does not reflect the learning of English, that English learning is caused by the present time, that is, it acts as a requirement of time. The authors especially emphasize the dominant role of the Kazakh language as the state language, which is a key problem in the system of trilingual education. The authors also note that the issue of trilingual education is a multifaceted and multidimensional problem, and successful teaching of non-native languages is possible only if the student speaks his native language at a high level. In the article, the authors consider some key points of the questionnaire survey. The respondents’ choice of future profession and a certain language for deep learning is explained by the dominance of one or another life need. The latter, in turn, is determined by which of the values young Kazakhstani people currently prefer.

Authors:   І. Жансүгіров атындағы Жетісу университеті, Тұрабай Г.К.
Published: May 2023

The relevance of all issues related to culture has now become widespread. Each lesson of a foreign language is a link of cultures. It is an experience of intercultural communication as each word is a reflection of another culture, another world: Each word is the national identity of the people. Therefore, the formation of intercultural communication competence in the English language lesson helps to prepare future teachers for Intercultural Communication in the dialogue of cultures, that is, to educate them to be competitive. In this regard, in the modern era of globalization, the growing demand of society for citizens who have absorbed our national cultural, historical, and spiritual values at the stage of socio-economic development of the country, the rapid growth of industry, and the transition to the world level suggest the need to raise educational achievements to the level of education of civilized countries by absorbing national values in schools for the younger generation. This article is devoted to the problem of methodological foundations for forming the competence of intercultural communication of future primary school teachers based on internet resources. A description of the types of information and communication technologies used recently in the process of teaching a foreign language was given. We also focused on the advantages of using the internet resource in foreign language lessons. In addition, ways of using Internet resources in communication were shown. A methodological model of intercultural communication competence was drawn up. A set of tasks and exercises for the development of information and communication competence was presented through methodological recommendations and internet resources that demonstrate the effectiveness of this mode

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.Purpose: The primary objective of this study was to determine the incidence and risk factors for incidental durotomies during lumbar decompression surgeries. In addition, we aimed to determine the changes in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) based on incidental durotomy status.Overview of Literature: There is limited literature investigating the affect of incidental durotomy on patient reported outcome measures. While the majority of research does not suggest differences in complications, readmission, or revision rates, many studies rely on public databases, and their sensitivity and specificity for identifying incidental durotomies is unknown.Methods: Patients undergoing lumbar decompression with or without fusion at a single tertiary care center were grouped based on the presence of a durotomy. Multivariate analysis was performed for length of stay (LOS), hospital readmissions, and changes in PROMs. To identify surgical risk factors for durotomy, 3:1 propensity matching was performed using stepwise logistic regression. The sensitivity and specificity of the International Classification of Disease, 10th revision (ICD-10) codes (G96.11 and G97.41) were also assessed.Results: Of the 3,684 consecutive patients who underwent lumbar decompressions, 533 (14.5%) had durotomies, and a complete set of PROMs (preoperative and 1-year postoperative) were available for 737 patients (20.0%). Incidental durotomy was an independent predictor of increased LOS but not hospital readmission or worse PROMs. The durotomy repair method was not associated with hospital readmission or LOS. However, repair with collagen graft and suture predicted reduced improvement in Visual Analog Scale back (β =2.56, p=0.004). Independent risk factors for incidental durotomies included revisions (odds ratio [OR], 1.73; p<0.001), levels decompressed (OR, 1.11; p=0.005), and preoperative diagnosis of spondylolisthesis or thoracolumbar kyphosis. The sensitivity and specificity of ICD-10 codes were 5.4% and 99.9%, respectively, for identifying durotomies.Conclusions: The durotomy rate for lumbar decompressions was 14.5%. No differences in outcomes were detected except for increased LOS. Database studies relying on ICD codes should be interpreted with caution due to the limited sensitivity in identifying incidental durotomies.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.Purpose: To compare radiographic outcomes between unilateral and bilateral cage placement in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusions (TLIF) and to determine if the rate of fusion at the 1-year postoperative point was different in patients who received bilateral versus unilateral cages.Overview of Literature: There is no clear evidence to dictate whether bilateral or unilateral cages promote superior radiographic or surgical outcomes in TLIF.Methods: Patients >18 years old who underwent primary one- or two-level TLIFs at our institution were identified and propensitymatched in a 3:1 fashion (unilateral:bilateral). Patient demographics, surgical characteristics, and radiographic outcomes, including vertebral endplate obliquity, segmental lordosis, subsidence, and fusion status, were compared between groups.Results: Of the 184 patients included, 46 received bilateral cages. Bilateral cage placement was associated with greater subsidence (1.06±1.25 mm vs. 0.59±1.16 mm, p=0.028) and enhanced restoration of segmental lordosis (5.74°±14.1° vs. −1.57°±10.9°, p=0.002) at the 1-year postoperative point, while unilateral cage placement was associated with an increased correction of endplate obliquity (−2.02°±4.42° vs. 0.24°±2.81°, p<0.001). Bilateral cage placement was significantly associated with radiographic fusion on bivariate analysis (89.1% vs. 70.3%, p=0.018) and significantly predicted radiographic fusion on multivariable regression analysis (estimate, 1.35; odds ratio, 3.87; 95% confidence interval, 1.51–12.05; p=0.010).Conclusions: Bilateral interbody cage placement in TLIF procedures was associated with restoration of lumbar lordosis and increased fusion rates. However, endplate obliquity correction was significantly greater for patients who received a unilateral cage.

Ornamental species of apple trees have gained large popularity in landscape design. The long-term work of Russian breeders has resulted in the selection of a number of ornamental apple-tree forms; however, insufficient attention has been paid to their practical implementation. At present, the Russian market is mainly represented by European varieties, which are unstable to the harsh conditions of Russian regions. The creation of adaptive varieties of ornamental apple trees with high aesthetic characteristics appears to be a relevant research task. In this work, ornamental apple tree forms for use in landscape design are evaluated using the methodology developed by V. V. Vasekha et al. (2017). Studies were conducted in the 2015-2022 period in experimental plots located in Michurinsk, Tambov Oblast. Research objects included trees planted in 2004 with a planting scheme of 6×2 m using 54-118 rootstocks. Depending on the genotype, the bud color was found to vary from white (M. sachalinensis), bright red (M. floribunda), and purple (M. purpurea pendula, Jay Darling, etc.). The new forms 7-13, 7-29, 4-100, and Nikas were characterized by large flowers over 35 mm in diameter. The leaf color varied depending on the season, from purple and red-purple in spring to green in autumn, which was typical of the majority of the studied genotypes. In summer, the genotypes having purple leaves turn red-green with the exception for the Royalty variety and M. purpurea var. aldenhamensis and M. purpurea species, whose leaves remain red until autumn. Fruits of ornamental apple trees are small, from 8 to 35 mm in diameter. Such varieties and forms, as Royalty, Profusion, M. sargentii, M. purpurea, M. floribunda, M. sachalinensis, M. Nikita floribunda, Jay Darling, Altaiskoe bagryanoe, M. floribunda, Nikas, 7-29, 7-13, and 4-100 are characterized by fruits up to 15 mm in diameter with high aesthetic characteristics. Nikas, 7-29, 7-13, and 4-100 have a columnar crown habitus, which significantly increases their ornamental value.
On the Issue of the Main Directions of the 137Cs Air Migration in the Exclusion Zone
Authors:   Institute for Safety Problems of Nuclear Power Plants, NAS of Ukraine, Shynkarenko V. K. , Talerko M. M.
Published: May 2023

Retrospective studies of the contribution of emissions from the Shelter object to the formation of the radioaerosol situation in the Exclusion Zone before the construction of the New Safe Confinement were conducted. An algorithm for estimating the average volumetric activity of 137Cs in the air depending on the wind direction is proposed based on data on the activity of air filters exposed in the monitoring posts of the ASKRO system. It was established that the predominant contributions to the arrival of radioactive aerosols in each of the six selected settlements in the Exclusion Zone in previous years were made by the winds of the northern group. It was found that the reliable periods of high activity transport did not always coincide with the wind direction from the Chornobyl nuclear power plant. From the absence of reliable correlations between wind speeds and the values of the 137Cs volumetric activity in the air, the same as from the presence of developed vegetation during periods of maximum activity, it was concluded that the wind resuspension processes have an insignificant contribution to the formation of the radioaerosol situation in the territory of the Exclusion Zone. It is assumed that forest fires make the most significant contribution to radioactive air pollution in this area
ACTIVITIES OF HEALTH CARE AND REHABILITATION INSTITUTIONS FOR PERSONS INJURED IN THE WAR AS A GUARANTEE OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE REGION

Published: May 2023

The article examines in detail the problem of the impact on the state of socio-economic security of Regions and the state as a whole of measures for the rehabilitation of war victims. It is established that the creation of a set of necessary conditions for ensuring full rehabilitation of various categories and groups of persons affected by war is a prerequisite for ensuring the socio-economic security of the state as a whole and each of its regions separately, taking into account their existing potential, available opportunities and specific conditions for implementing appropriate measures. The main functional components of socio-economic security of the regions are identified. The article substantiates the claim that achieving the necessary level of socio-economic security of the region, especially in the context of modern challenges and threats, is possible only as a result of their comprehensive consideration and effective management. The need for a radical revision of the principles and approaches in the organization of the rehabilitation system and the provision of social guarantees to the population is proved, which will determine the introduction of new models of organization, administration and management, the use of a fundamentally different methodology for assessing the quality of the results of the rehabilitation process, as well as the process of social adaptation. The key principles on which modern systems of providing rehabilitation and social services should be based are highlighted. It is established that extreme situations of a social nature are determined primarily by the socio-economic component of society. Employment policy opportunities are not fully used at the regional level, and one of the most acute socio-economic problems, the solution of which is the responsibility of the regions, is to provide the population with affordable and social housing. However, due to significant imbalances in their development, not all of them are able to independently and fully ensure their own socio-economic security. The main priorities for ensuring the socio-economic security of the state and its regions in war conditions are outlined.

The article proves that nowadays it is not enough for agricultural enterprises to have the necessary material, financial and labor resources for effective functioning, it is necessary to know how to use them effectively, and, therefore, to have information about production technologies and their management. Special attention is focused on the indicators of the evaluation of the effectiveness of the use of information resources using the coefficients of completeness of information, contradiction of information, accuracy of information, timeliness and validity of information. It is proposed to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of time resources using the coefficients of the use of the working period, the use of the working day, the use of working time and the use of downtime. A system of innovations recommended for implementation in agricultural enterprises has been developed, which takes into account the specifics of agricultural management and offers measures to improve the innovative management of the production process. The proposed indicators will make it possible to conduct research and evaluate the effectiveness, strengths and weaknesses of resource use, to provide proposals that will improve production and increase the efficiency of resource use through the introduction of innovations, the involvement of the latest technologies, including in the field of technological management. In the future, it is appropriate to develop programs for the development of agrarian enterprises with the aim of increasing the efficiency of resource use through modernization and the introduction of new technologies, taking into account the environmental friendliness of the production process.

Circular economy is one of the main strategies for achieving sustainable development and combating environmental problems. This article explores the issue of introducing circular business models in Ukraine, taking into account the problems and challenges faced by companies and the state. One of the main challenges for the introduction of a circular economy is the need to change ideas about the use of resources and waste. Many companies have become accustomed to a linear model of production, where the costs of resources and energy have not been properly evaluated. Therefore, new approaches to the design and production of products are needed that allow reuse of resources and reduction of waste. The article discusses various business models of the circular economy, such as “product-service”, “secondary market”, “recycling”, “exchange”, “rental”. An algorithm for introducing these business models in Ukraine, taking into account legislation and market conditions, is also provided. The authors of the article draw attention to the need for state support and openness to new initiatives in this area. Effective implementation of the circular economy requires investment in research and development, infrastructure development and legislative change. In summary, this article provides a clear overview of the circular economy and business models that can be used to achieve sustainable development and combat environmental challenges. It also highlights the problems and challenges that arise during the implementation of circular business models in Ukraine and provides an algorithm for their implementation, taking into account legislation and market conditions. The article emphasizes the need for state support and openness to new initiatives in this area. Introducing a circular economy is an important step towards achieving sustainable development and preserving the environment for future generations.

Ensuring the economic security of the enterprise plays a significant role in its functioning in general. The implementation of an effective mechanism of economic security of the enterprise requires due attention from the managers to the issues of the level of integration into the global information space, the economic interests of the company, the level of expenditure of corporate resources and a clear organization of activities. The basis of the mechanism of the process of ensuring economic security is a systematic combination of certain tools, methods, means and the information and analytical process of provision, created on the basis of objectively existing principles of the process of ensuring economic security, as well as those formulated by subjects of economic security management of the enterprise for achieving and protecting his financial interests. Currently, the problem of quality improvement is becoming the main criterion for improving the quality of life, socio-economic, foreign economic, political, and environmental security. The concept of product quality is compared with competitiveness, having a general sphere of formation and manifestation. If the competitiveness of enterprises is not increased, the development of both the economy of the state as a whole and its individual regions is impossible. The competitiveness of an agribusiness enterprise depends on the ability of a specific producer to produce a competitive product, the consumer and quality characteristics of which, compared to similar products, determine its market success both on the domestic and foreign markets. The problem of quality assurance is one of the most significant socio-economic problems of the modern world, and the sphere of agriculture is no exception. The company’s survival potential, as well as its stable position on the market, is determined by the level of competitiveness, which, in turn, depends on a dozen factors, but primarily on the level of prices and product quality. In the modern world, product quality comes first, leaving behind labor productivity, as well as saving all kinds of resources
