Inscriptional Intermediality in Livy
Authors: Palmer Morgan E.
Published: September 2019

The term monumentum is used in Latin literature to describe a range of monuments across media, including temples, literary works, statues, and inscriptions. This article surveys the variety of monumenta in Livy’s Ab urbe condita, which range from the text itself to victory inscriptions and bronze sculptures meant to commemorate military as well as political achievements. The borders between historiography and physical artefacts are often blurred by Livy through inscriptional intermediality, a phenomenon defined as the mixing of visual and textual media. By outlining how Livy achieves this combination, and demonstrating how the specific ratio of literary, linguistic, and topographical features in his ekphrases generate unique impressions of real-world monuments, this chapter re-reads Livy’s history from the perspective of intermedial theory. This process not only advances our understanding of the Ab urbe condita as a literary work, but also thrusts individual aspects of Livy’s narrative technique – including visuality and unique formulae such as the introductory formula tabula … cum indice hoc posita est (Livy 41.28.8) – into the spotlight.
Einsatz von Methoden des maschinellen Lernens in der CT-Messtechnik
Authors: Höhne Robin , Hagner Lutz
Published: September 2019

Die Röntgen-Computertomographie (R-CT) hat sich unter den zerstörungsfreien Prüfverfahren zur Inspektion der Produktqualität bereits einen festen Platz erworben. Aufgrund der ausführlichen, hochauflösenden Abbildung von relevanten Bauteilregionen weist die R-CT ein enormes Potenzial zur Lösung aktueller sowie zukünftiger Prüfaufgaben auf. Dementgegen stehen jedoch häufig die im Vergleich zu anderen Prüfverfahren höheren Kosten, welche sich aus den Anlageninvestitionen, der Scanzeit sowie der anschließenden Analyse- und Bewertungszeit ergeben. Als Dienstleiter im Bereich der R-CT ist die Microvista GmbH spezialisiert auf die Entwicklung automatisierter Analyse- und Bewertungsroutinen für CT-Schichtbilder. Der Einsatz von Methoden des maschinellen Sehens insbesondere für qualitative Bewertungen, welche meist noch durch einen Prüfer durchgeführt werden, wird dabei nicht nur als ein wesentlicher Schritt zur Reduktion der Inspektionskosten gesehen, sondern auch um den Bewertungsprozess objektiver und damit zuverlässiger zu gestalten. Im Folgenden sollen die damit einhergehenden Herausforderungen, insbesondere der Umgang mit nur wenigen Trainingsbeispielen, sowie die erzielten Ergebnisse an einem Praxisbeispiel – der Fehlererkennung in einem Wassermantel – vorgestellt werden.

Published: September 2019

Layered crystal Bi2O2Te has recently been found to have high electron mobility and excellent thermoelectric properties for technical applications; however, its other properties are not well studied yet. In this work, the electronic, elastic and optical properties of Bi2O2Te are systematically studied using the density functional method. The results indicate that Bi2O2Te is a narrow band gap semiconductor. The gap is formed by the Te 5p orbital at the top of the valence band and the Bi 6p orbital at the bottom of the conduction band. There are both ionic and covalent interactions within the Bi–O layers, and these layers are linked by the ionic Bi–Te bonds forming the crystal. Bi2O2Te is mechanically stable but anisotropic. It is easy to fracture along the c axis under shear stress. Its shear modulus is far smaller than its bulk modulus, so shape deformation is easier to occur than pure volume change. Its melting point is predicted to be 1284.0 K based on an empirical formula. The calculated refractive index at zero frequency reveals that Bi2O2Te is a negative uniaxial crystal with a birefringence of 0.51, making it a potential tuning material for optical application. The characteristics and origins of other optical properties are also discussed.

A new saponin, 3-O-β-d-3-oxo-glucopyranosyl-ursa-12,20(30)-diene-27,28-dioic acid (1), was isolated from the methanol extract of stem bark of Crossopteryx febrifuga together with the known 3β-d-glucopyranosyl-ursa-12,20(30)-diene-27,28-dioic acid (2), shanzhiside methyl ester (3), shanzhiside (4), β-sitosterol (5), β-sitosterol-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (6), ursa-12,20(30)-diene-27,28-dioic acid (7), hederagenin (8), and oleanolic acid (9). The structures were established by comprehensive interpretation of their spectral data 1D- (1H and 13C), 2D-NMR (1H-1H COSY, HMQC, HMBC), spectroscopic, and electrospray ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis. The isolated compounds and extracts were screened for their antibacterial properties. Although the EtOAc and n-BuOH extracts exhibited considerable antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 32 μg/mL, compounds 2 and 8 showed moderate activity against Enterococcus faecalis with MIC values of 256 and 128 μg/mL, respectively. The new compound (1) exhibited a moderate antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with an MIC value of 512 μg/mL.

Authors: Jiménez-Marín Gloria , Bellido-Pérez Elena , López-Cortés Ángela
Published: September 2019

El marketing sensorial comprende una serie de decisiones estratégicas dirigidas a la estimulación de los sentidos en el público. Cuando estas decisiones se toman sobre el propio punto de venta, el público logra una experiencia completa que le acerca más aún al producto frente al que se sitúa, fomentando de este modo su compra final. Por ello, los establecimientos que emplean de manera adecuada este tipo de técnicas consiguen consolidar una experiencia de compra altamente satisfactoria apuntando al nivel subconsciente de los sentidos. No obstante, se deben tener en cuenta una serie de consideraciones a la hora de implementarlas para conseguir los objetivos deseados, teniendo presente los avances en el ámbito de la neurociencia. En el presente texto se realiza una exploración en el concepto de marketing sensorial, señalando sus distintas tipologías y posibilidades de aplicación. Se describe, en primer lugar, el potencial de los cinco sentidos como vías a través de las cuales dejar un recuerdo en el consumidor. Luego, se especifican las técnicas de medición y las pautas de implantación del marketing sensorial y, finalmente, se detalla el proceso de compra que sigue el cliente en el establecimiento, indicando cómo podría estimularse la compra final con una estrategia que se dirigiese a los sentidos del consumidor.

Published: September 2019

Cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β-secretase BACE1 initiates the production and accumulation of neurotoxic amyloid-β peptides, which is widely considered an essential pathogenic mechanism in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we report that BACE1 is essential for normal auditory function. Compared with wild-type littermates, BACE1−/−mice of either sex exhibit significant hearing deficits, as indicated by increased thresholds and reduced amplitudes in auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) and decreased distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs). Immunohistochemistry revealed aberrant synaptic organization in the cochlea and hypomyelination of auditory nerve fibers as predominant neuropathological substrates of hearing loss in BACE1−/−mice. In particular, we found that fibers of spiral ganglion neurons (SGN) close to the organ of Corti are disorganized and abnormally swollen. BACE1 deficiency also engenders organization defects in the postsynaptic compartment of SGN fibers with ectopic overexpression of PSD95 far outside the synaptic region. During postnatal development, auditory fiber myelination in BACE1−/−mice lags behind dramatically and remains incomplete into adulthood. We relate the marked hypomyelination to the impaired processing of Neuregulin-1 when BACE1 is absent. To determine whether the cochlea of adult wild-type mice is susceptible to AD treatment-like suppression of BACE1, we administered the established BACE1 inhibitor NB-360 for 6 weeks. The drug suppressed BACE1 activity in the brain, but did not impair hearing performance and, upon neuropathological examination, did not produce the characteristic cochlear abnormalities of BACE1−/−mice. Together, these data strongly suggest that the hearing loss of BACE1 knock-out mice represents a developmental phenotype.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTGiven its crucial role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), BACE1 is a prime pharmacological target for AD prevention and therapy. However, the safe and long-term administration of BACE1-inhibitors as envisioned in AD requires a comprehensive understanding of the various physiological functions of BACE1. Here, we report that BACE1 is essential for the processing of auditory signals in the inner ear, as BACE1-deficient mice exhibit significant hearing loss. We relate this deficit to impaired myelination and aberrant synapse formation in the cochlea, which manifest during postnatal development. By contrast, prolonged pharmacological suppression of BACE1 activity in adult wild-type mice did not reproduce the hearing deficit or the cochlear abnormalities of BACE1 null mice.
Motown, Disco, and Drumming
Authors: London Justin , Burger Birgitta , Thompson Marc , Hildreth Molly , Wilson Johanna , Schally Nick , Toiviainen Petri
Published: September 2019

In a study of tempo perception, London, Burger, Thompson, and Toiviainen (2016) presented participants with digitally ‘‘tempo-shifted’’ R&B songs (i.e., sped up or slowed down without otherwise altering their pitch or timbre). They found that while participants’ relative tempo judgments of original versus altered versions were correct, they no longer corresponded to the beat rate of each stimulus. Here we report on three experiments that further probe the relation(s) between beat rate, tempo-shifting, beat salience, melodic structure, and perceived tempo. Experiment 1 is a replication of London et al. (2016) using the original stimuli. Experiment 2 replaces the Motown stimuli with disco music, which has higher beat salience. Experiment 3 uses looped drum patterns, eliminating pitch and other cues from the stimuli and maximizing beat salience. The effect of London et al. (2016) was replicated in Experiment 1, present to a lesser degree in Experiment 2, and absent in Experiment 3. Experiments 2 and 3 also found that participants were able to make tempo judgments in accordance with BPM rates for stimuli that were not tempo-shifted. The roles of beat salience, melodic structure, and memory for tempo are discussed, and the TAE as an example of perceptual sharpening is considered.
Social capital and property rights: from value to price of the wind-farm land in Galicia, 1995-2008
Authors: Regueiro Ferreira Rosa Maria
Published: September 2019

The development of wind power in Galicia was characterized, among other elements, by a “controversial” remuneration of the land occupied by wind farms. This controversy was based on the non-consideration of the soil as an “industrial site”, and by leaving aside key elements such as property rights and social capital. In short, it reflected the non-convergence between the “value” of a piece of land due to its ability to develop an industrial activity and the “price” that it should have as a remuneration for such capacity. In this article, a reflection is made about the situation experienced in Galicia since the beginning of the wind actions up to 2008, to deepen the need to establish regulatory frameworks that consider the rights of all the stakeholders involved.

Published: September 2019

O turismo rural é un modelo turístico, afastado da masificación, que se desenvolve no ámbito rural. O obxectivo desta investigación céntrase en determinar cal é o grao de desenvolvemento do turismo rural en Galicia, así como matizar cal é a oferta complementaria a este tipo de turismo máis solicitada, buscando sinerxías con outras empresas dos medios rurais. Para iso establécese un marco teórico sobre o que traballar e, posteriormente, a realización de entrevistas en profundidade a expertos do sector e a propietarios ou xestores de casas rurais nesta Comunidade Autónoma. Entre as principais conclusións podemos sinalar que practicamente calquera tipo de actividade complementaria é compatible con este tipo de turismo coa condición de que conste de axudas e accións adecuadas.
Evolución da política galega de innovación: de cero á especialización intelixente
Authors: González-López Manuel , Guntín-Araújo Xulia
Published: September 2019

O obxectivo deste artigo é explicar os cambios acontecidos na política galega de innovación durante as dúas últimas décadas. Observamos que esta política xurdiu como unha política de innovación, e non só de ciencia e tecnoloxía, a finais dos anos 90. En certo modo, existe un patrón de continuidade ata o 2009 en que os cambios viñeron determinados en boa medida por procesos de imitación e aprendizaxe, sendo particularmente relevante as interaccións con outros niveis de goberno. Así, a política de innovación española foi moi influente no que se refire ao organigrama institucional de goberno, particularmente ao inicio. A influencia do nivel europeo foi aumentando gradualmente, sobre todo no eido da selección de prioridades e instrumentos, ata chegar ao punto culminante na actualidade coa RIS3. Aínda así, a política galega de innovación foi pouco a pouco consolidando unha dinámica propia, debido aos propios procesos internos de acumulación de experiencias e de aprendizaxe. A partir do ano 2009 prodúcense mudanzas de certo calado, en boa medida debido á crise económica. Esa crise no só significou unha diminución do orzamento público para a innovación, senón que tamén posibilitou un escenario para que puideran aplicarse cambios na orientación ideolóxica e nos instrumentos desta política.
El papel de las políticas públicas en la resiliencia regional: un análisis exploratorio del caso del País Vasco
Authors: Magro Edurne , Valdaliso Jesús M.
Published: September 2019

La resiliencia regional, entendida como la capacidad de las regiones para resistir, adaptarse y crear nuevas trayectorias en la región a raíz de una crisis económica o de otros factores externos, es uno de los temas que se han explorado ampliamente en los últimos años en la literatura de geografía económica. Los últimos avances en la materia otorgan al fenómeno de la resiliencia un carácter multidimensional y exploran el papel de las instituciones y las personas como factores claves del concepto. Las políticas públicas, como parte del entramado institucional de las regiones, condicionan y modifican esta capacidad de cambio. El artículo se centra, precisamente, en explorar la relación entre las políticas de innovación y la resiliencia regional. Para ello, se analiza desde una perspectiva histórica el caso del País Vasco, una antigua región industrial, que ha sido capaz de resistir, recuperarse y renovarse después de diferentes crisis económicas.
La compra pública de innovación: análisis de la experiencia de Galicia en el ámbito sanitario
Authors: Sánchez-Carreira M. del Carmen , Varela-Vázquez Pedro , Peñate-Valentín M. Concepción
Published: September 2019

El sector público constituye un consumidor estratégico, que puede utilizar su poder de compra para conseguir distintos fines socioeconómicos. Así sucede con la compra pública de innovación (CPI), instrumento que trata de fomentar la innovación desde el lado de la demanda. El principal objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la experiencia de CPI de Galicia, centrándose en el ámbito de la salud. Esto se debe a la relevancia del sector público como demandante y prestador de servicios en el sector salud y a que Galicia constituye una referencia en la implementación de CPI en el ámbito sanitario. Un aspecto central de este trabajo consiste en identificar los factores impulsores de esta experiencia pionera. Los resultados sugieren que algunos elementos son cruciales: la disponibilidad de financiación pública, la participación de los diferentes tipos de agentes, la interacción público-privada, la identificación precisa de las necesidades y la adecuada planificación. Asimismo, la efectividad de las políticas de demanda está condicionada por otros elementos como las capacidades productivas e innovadoras del territorio, lo que sugiere la necesidad de la coordinación de las políticas de innovación desde la perspectiva de la demanda con las de oferta. El papel del sector público como promotor de la innovación parece más relevante en regiones menos innovadoras, como es el caso de Galicia.
Selective Sweep at a QTL in a Randomly Fluctuating Environment
Authors: Chevin Luis-Miguel
Published: September 2019

Adaptation is mediated by phenotypic traits that are often near continuous, and undergo selective pressures that may change with the environment. The dynamics of allelic frequencies at underlying quantitative trait loci (QTL) depend on their own phenotypic effects, but also possibly on other polymorphic loci affecting the same trait, and on environmental change driving phenotypic selection. Most environments include a substantial component of random noise, characterized both by its magnitude and its temporal autocorrelation, which sets the timescale of environmental predictability. I investigate the dynamics of a mutation affecting a quantitative trait in an autocorrelated stochastic environment that causes random fluctuations of an optimum phenotype. The trait under selection may also exhibit background polygenic variance caused by many polymorphic loci of small effects elsewhere in the genome. In addition, the mutation at the QTL may affect phenotypic plasticity, the phenotypic response of given genotype to its environment of development or expression. Stochastic environmental fluctuations increase the variance of the evolutionary process, with consequences for the probability of a complete sweep at the QTL. Background polygenic variation critically alters this process, by setting an upper limit to stochastic variance of population genetics at the QTL. For a plasticity QTL, stochastic fluctuations also influences the expected selection coefficient, and alleles with the same expected trajectory can have very different stochastic variances. Finally, a mutation may be favored through its effect on plasticity despite causing a systematic mismatch with optimum, which is compensated by evolution of the mean background phenotype.

How the New Technologies Shapes the Understanding of the Political Act: the case of Digital Vigilantism
Authors: Dementavičienė Augustė
Published: September 2019

This paper is part of a bigger project where I try to evaluate and merge different philosophical and sociological approaches in order to understand and show how new technologies could change political life. This article aims to propose conceptual instruments suitable for that endeavor through the analysis of a small example of postmodern life – Digital Vigilantism – and based on ideas of Daniel Trottier, Zygmunt Bauman, and Michel Foucault. The swarm is a metaphor used by Zygmunt Bauman to show how the understanding of communities is changed in liquid modernity. Swarms are based on untied, uncontrolled, short-term relationships between consumers/users that are formed with the express purpose of achieving some goals. Swarms could be massive in numbers and have a lot of power for a quite short period. One such example could be Digital Vigilantism, which is an act of punishing certain citizens – those believed to be deserving of punishment by Internet users. One particular form of digital vigilantism is disclosing someone’s personal information (addresses, phone numbers, emails, Facebook accounts, etc.) for everybody to see in order to spread shaming acts. The acts of DV sometimes gain enough power to change the political agenda. The problem is that the interest of people to solve certain issues is often extremely short; meanwhile, a sustainable political act/change requires an active and stable effort for a much longer period. The main intrigue lies in whether the political act itself can change from being influenced by the swarm effect.
Family Laws in the European Union
Authors: Monedero Pablo José Abascal
Published: September 2019

EU social policies should be complemented by contributing to a harmonious development of society, by reducing structural and regional imbalances, developing a balance between the a localized community and the national society, and improving the living standards of citizens and families of member states (Garrido 2002). Such important social policy principles as freedom and justice are addressed and represented in family laws in the EU regulations introduced during the period of 2000–2016. In this article, we studied the EU’s legal solutions in reference to national (Spain) laws on these matters: children and parental responsibility (adoption, child abduction, family benefits) and couples (matrimonial, regimes, prenuptial agreements, provisional measures). This legislation is necessary in the face of the proliferation of families whose members have different nationalities, and even in the mobilization of residences. Cooperation has intensified between national judicial authorities to ensure that legal decisions taken in one EU country are recognized and implemented in any other. This is highly important in civil cases, such as divorce, child custody, maintenance claims, or even bankruptcy and unpaid bills, when the individuals involved live in different countries. The development of family laws is one of the most important factors of family welfare in European countries.
Service Users as Collaborators in Social Work Practice, Research, and Education
Authors: Cabiati Elena , Panciroli Chiara
Published: September 2019

The idea that social work needs to be concerned with thinking and acting in a more collaborative way with the people in need is common around the world. At the international level, codes of ethics and social work principles inspire practitioners, researchers, and educators in bridging the gap between themselves and people in trouble, commonly known as service users. Beyond a common agreement around such principle, to realize collaborative relationships in practice is a challenge that requires prudence, coherence, and methodology. The Relational social work method supports the practical development of participation, collaboration, and reciprocity. Through concepts and examples, this article aims to describe how service users can assume the role of collaborators in social practice, research, and education.
Tax Morale and Public Sector Revenues in Baltic Countries
Authors: Rutkauskas Virgilijus
Published: September 2019

This article investigates issues behind households’ tax payment morale, theoretical and practical aspects of the tax payment gap, and its impact on public sector revenue in Baltic countries. The attitude of households on tax payment is assessed quantitatively by employing a dichotomous logit-probit regression analysis. The tax payment gap among Baltic households has been investigated by applying a “macro approach,” the main components of which are the shadow economy and the total tax rate. The effect of any hypothetical changes in tax morale is assessed by applying social accounting matrixes, which are based on national account data and allow to keep the economy balanced at all time. The results presented in this research suggest that taxes uncollected from households constitute nearly one fifth of total general government revenues and count nearly one tenth of the nominal GDP. Measures applied to strengthening tax morale positively contribute to public sector revenue and in general to the economy, though they should be applied gradually.

DISPARITY OF THE ARABIC NAME: THE SPOTLIGHT ON CHILDREN OF ENDOGAMOUS AND EXOGAMOUS MARRIAGES AMONG HADRAMI-ARABS IN INDONESIA
Authors: Aribowo Eric Kunto , Almasitoh Ummu Hany
Published: September 2019

This study explores the influence of endogamous marriage (Arab-Arab family) and exogamous (Arab-Javanese family) on the personal name of Hadrami-Arab who living in the Kampong Arab Pasar Kliwon, Surakarta. Endogamous marriage among Hadrami-Arab resulted in identity retention, especially ethnic identity. In contrast, exogamous marriages play a role in generating a hybrid entity that inherits the characteristics of each ethnic parent, including personal name. Utilizing Net Consolidation Data for the First Semester of 2017 – download as of February 23, 2018– managed by the Data and Statistics Division of the Population and Civil Registration Agency of Surakarta, the names of the residents of Pasar Kliwon Subdistrict were classified according to the ethnicities of both parents. The elements in name construction were then identified to formulize the naming system utilizing the socio-onomastics framework. From the analysis, it can be revealed that the endogamous marriage became the dominant marriage as an effort to maintain the lineage of their ancestors, especially the male line (patrilineal). This effort is followed by giving the newborn baby name by adopting the name of his/her father, grandfather’s, or a combination of both. The attachment of surname after the personal name is also a characteristic of children who born from endogamous family. Meanwhile, families from exogamous marriages (Javanese mother and Arab fathers) prefer to name their child with a hybrid name through a combination of naming systems from their cultural background, Arabic-Javanese words and vise versa. The selection of Arabic names by Hadrami-Arabs is emphasized more highlight their ethnic identity, even though it also displays their religious status, Islam.

One of the outputs of the research was to develop a proposed vision and a mission (digitization or computerization of the Arabic language) within the programs of the Arabic language at Sultan Zainal Abidin University in Terengganu, Malaysia. The study concluded several recommendations, the most important was the need for concerted efforts in the field of Arabic computer linguistics between linguists and students, and to spread computer awareness among linguists by encouraging universities to allocate a course on computerization of the Arabic language and creating a new specialization in Arabic language, to develop the linguistic councils in fulfilling the challenges of computerization of Arabic, translating all scientific works written and published in the field of Arabic computer linguistics in foreign languages by Arab and foreign researchers and transferring them into Arabic, creating a dictionary for the computer linguistics terminology in Arabic, and applications of developments of instructional technologies such as machine translation, electronic dictionary and so on.
La psicología moral de la marioneta: conflicto y acuerdo en Las Leyes de Platón
Authors: Giménez José Antonio
Published: September 2019

El trabajo presenta un modelo de psicología moral a partir del análisis del libro primero de las Leyes de Platón y, en particular, de la imagen de la marioneta. Entre los intérpretes contemporáneos se debate sobre si esta imagen compromete una comprensión de la templanza como “victoria” sobre los placeres o si más bien respalda una comprensión de esta virtud como “acuerdo” entre estos y la razón. Para responder a esta cuestión, se recurrirá a la psicología bipartita del Filebo. Esto permitirá reconocer, en la educación de la virtud, el conflicto entre afectos y, en el resultado de este proceso educativo, el acuerdo entre razón y afectividad.
The Implementation of Academic Responsibility in Higher Education: A Case Study
Authors: Rokhmani Teguh , Sujanto Bedjo , Luddin Muchlis Rantoni
Published: September 2019

Introduction. Academic responsibility consists in the duty of higher education providers to their students. By implementing academic responsibility, these providers respond to the demands of their society. The purpose of this article is to explore and analyse: implementation of education and teaching; mentoring; service to the university; research, publication; community service and ch anges.
Materials and Methods. A qualitative research approach, employing the case study method, was used. Data were obtained from in-depth interviews from lecturers and students, field observations, as well as collating and reviewing documents.
Results. The results of the study show that, in the implementation of education and teaching, the planning stage refers to the process of drafting the semester lesson plan. Student-centred active and participatory learning models are maintained; in mentoring, the guiding process simultaneously combines academic guidance, career guidance and personal-social guidance. While service provision is prioritised as one of the important educational aspects, in the implementation of research, it improves the ability of lecturers to research; in publications, to meet writing standards, peer assessment standards and documentation standards; in community service, it consists at the level of how to devote the knowledge possessed by the academic community to the progress of society; in change leadership, it involves technology, structure and human resources.
Discussion and Conclusion. There is a commitment to support the implementation of academic responsibility of higher education through engagement in teaching, mentoring, serving the university, discovering, publishing, truth-telling, serving the community and leading change. This academic process shows the value of commitment to a better quality of higher education.

Published: September 2019

Introduction. In order to encourage more flexible working environments and establish generators of sustainable development for participating countries through an educated society, various international organisations that intervene in the quality dimension within the framework of a systemic approach to Higher Education, including the World Bank, have made multiple efforts to establish various recognitions, certifications and credits pertaining to competency-based education.
Materials and Methods. The research, featuring a study of theoretical-interpretative design, was based around the qualitative paradigm. Information was obtained by means of semi-structured interviews with 14 lecturers from different universities in the city of Quito in Ecuador. The data obtained were triangulated with a review of the literature carried out by the researchers.
Results. The informants considered cognitive competencies to be the most relevant within the context of teacher formation. Research, planning and organisation skills were not established in importance due to university professionalisation. Additionally, the need to establish curricular changes in the Ecuadorian university pedagogy was confirmed.
Discussion and Conclusion. After contrasting the opinions of university professors and formation theories, a theoretical reflection is presented in which the importance of unifying professional formation and investigative competencies is emphasised. This unification allows the quality of higher education centred around the teacher as the main actor to be increased.
Dynamics of Personality Trait Structuring During Student Transition to Secondary School
Authors: Kolishev Nikolay S. , Slavutskaya Elena V. , Slavutskii Leonid A.
Published: September 2019

Introduction. A longitudinal study of children’s mental development in the period of transition to secondary school (aged 9 to 14) was carried out in order to quantitatively analyse dynamics in the structuring of students’ personal traits. The need to develop a systematic approach to the description of transition periods in psychosocial development determines the relevance of the paper. The purpose of the article is to report on the study that confirm the need to consider pre-adolescence (preteen) in terms of a distinct transition period (including pre-adolescent crisis) in mental development between primary school age and adolescence.
Materials and Methods. Psychological testing was conducted using the 12 and 14 Cattell’s Personality Factor Questionnaire (12PF, 14PF) and the Culture Fair Intelligence Test with the participating schoolchildren from the end of the third until the beginning of sixth grade and in eighth grade involving between 127 (3rd grade) and 66 students (8th grade). For data processing, factor analysis was used for the entire sample of respondents, as well as following their stratification by IQ an d gender.
Results. It is shown that, for the studied age range, the relationship between personality traits varies both qualitatively and quantitatively. General regularities in the structuring of cross-functional relationships that differentiate children of different sex and IQ level were found. The “stabilising combination” of the personal qualities for children under dynamic (non-equilibrium) psychosocial development is identified, the temporal boundaries of the preteen crisis marked obtained in the experim ent.
Discussion and Conclusion. The study of the dynamics of psychosocial development in the transition period on the basis of the study of cross-functional relationships structuring can be an effective tool for the analysis and creation of dynamic (non-equilibrium) models. The obtained quantitative results reveal the time frame and features of the transition period, as well as demonstrating the manifestation of the basic principles of mental development: systemic integration/differentiation and anticipation. The revealed features of the developmental dynamics of students should be considered in the preparation of curricula, as well as in when providing psychological and pedagogical support to students.
The Role of the Tutor in the Choice of Pedagogical Management Tools for Autonomous Work in Foreign Languages
Authors: Chikileva Lyudmila S.
Published: September 2019

Introduction. The paper presents the results a study of the implementation of individual educational routes in students’ autonomous foreign language study at a non-linguistic university. Factors determining student motivation and satisfaction with the autonomous study using the Rosetta Stone Advantage platform were considered. The purpose of the study was to find out how tutors manage autonomous work and what ICT tools are used in this process. The relevance of this study is determined by the importance of the implementation of electronic platforms in the process of teaching foreign languages, as well as the need to investigate new forms of management used by tutors in the process of monitoring individual learning activities in electronic educational environment.
Materials and Methods.The following methods have been used in this research: a survey with Likert scale, data analysis, semantic interpretation of data and graphical representation of data. The empirical basis of this study includes the results of the survey of students of the Institute of Distance Learning and Open Education at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation (Moscow).
Results. In the present article it is shown that students can benefit from the integration of electronic platforms in foreign language learning since it provides them with excellent opportunities to choose their own educational content that takes both their professional interests and their present level of foreign language proficiency into account. However, although most students are motivated to use electronic educational platforms in their autonomous work, they need assistance. Tutors play an important role in the organisation of this type of educational activity in terms of explaining how to work with the platform, helping students to choose individual learning routes and providing motivation. Using various ICT tools of pedagogical management, tutors monitor the process of autonomous work and control its results; thus, the individual work of students becomes more ef ficient.
Discussion and Conclusion. The results of the research and the discussion of these results with colleagues at scientific conferences and methodological seminars help to determine future perspectives for the successful use of pedagogical management tools in the process of autonomous study on electronic educational platforms. The results of the research have practical value for teachers of foreign languages working in the electronic educational environment.
The use of plural form of the noun in the Finnish language
Authors: Bratchikova Nadezda S.
Published: September 2019

The focus of the study is the category of plurality of the noun in the Finnish language. The article studies plural forms of the noun in the Finnish language. The aim of the publication is to study the grammatical and semantic features of the plural forms in the Finnish language, to show the interrelation of different linguistic means related to vocabulary and morphology, using them to express the plurality, to reveal the features of the functioning of these means in the context of the utterance. The study was conducted on the material of artistic and journalistic literature in Finnish. The main research method is a synchronous analytical description using elements of the component, contextual, distributional methods, as well as the method of a functional semantic field. The method of analysis is presented by both an onomasiological approach, meaning «from functions to means», as well as semasiological approach meaning «from means to functions».
The work systematizes categorical meanings transmitted by the plural forms. In the situation with quantification, the division of substances into continuous and discrete is significant. The dual category in modern Finnish is not fully represented. The grammatical forms of its manifestation are preserved in possessive affixes. The value of singularity / multiplicity, denoted by these affixes, is determined by the syntactic environment or by using the context. Analysis of the contexts of the use of the plural form allowed us to distinguish two types of characteristics – common and lingo-specific. The presented illustrative material clearly demonstrates the conditions for the implementation of these characteristics. The category of number in Finnish is related to the ideas of certainty-uncertainty.

Authors: Pashkova Tatiana V.
Published: September 2019

The article discusses the representation of all groups of Karelians (Karelians, Livvik and Ludik Karelians) on the causes and ways of treatment of toothache (rational and irrational).

The Karelians noticed one of the causes of toothache, which was the result of a cold, a natural cause. However, since even after the conversion to Christianity the Karelians remained the beliefs of pagan origin, and in the toothache (as a symptom) was viewed from mythological view.
The Karelians looked at a toothache as a serious, painful disease. In order to prevent its occurrence, the Karelians used salt and performed ritual preventive actions. As well as the causes of toothache, treatments could be rational and irrational. From the rational treatment methods, Karelians practiced warming and compresses, made tincture and ointments from medicinal herbs. Bleeding was considered effective for relieving toothache. Irrational methods of treatment included sorcery. This can be seen in all Karelian groups.

Epos as a factor of formation of ethnic identity of a personality (on the example of Republic of Mordovia)
Authors: Minichkina Valentina P. , Rus’kina Elena S.
Published: September 2019

The preservation and development of ethnic and cultural diversity of the peoples of Russia, the harmonization of national and interethnic relations can be achieved through the education of a person, a representative of a particular ethnic group (the bearer of its culture), as well as the development of a person, a citizen of one’s country. In other words, it can happen through the formation of ethnic and closely related civil identity of the individual within the framework of ethno-cultural education.
In the work the institutional approach is applied to the problem of ethno-cultural education, which reveals its possibilities from the perspective of relationships with the ethnic group, socio-cultural sphere and society. It allows to consider ethno-cultural education not only as a mechanism for the transfer of knowledge and training, but also as a cultural institution, which is an important means of preserving and developing the individual’s human and national identity.
Ethno-cultural education employs various methods and means of influence on the individual, aimed at preserving ethnic identity and national worldview. Epos becomes a powerful means of education and preservation of the national genetic code in the younger generation, and the formation of not only national but also universal values. The Mordovian epos “Mastorava” has received world popularity. Its literary version was created by a scholar and a poet A. M. Sharonov on the ancient Erzya and Moksha myths and epic songs. Meanwhile, it remains insufficiently studied, and its educational opportunities remain unrealized.
The authors conclude that it is expedient to be included in the process of ethnocultural education in a multinational region by the means of the study of epic works of the peoples inhabiting it, which will contribute to the formation of the ethnic identity of the individual.
