The main infrastructures with critical value for determining potential disruptive events are mapped using specialized software, followed by the presentation of some institutions necessary to be involved for implementation of table-top exercises and, in conjunction or separately, field study trips. As a central point of the research methodology, recent literature highlights are emphasized, which robustly materialize and contextualize the practical approaches presented.
On the Role of Source and Target Words’ Meanings in Metaphorical Conceptualizations
Authors: Lemghari El Mustapha
Published: January 2023

The paper argues that metaphorical expressions do more than just instantiate conceptual metaphors. The main aim is to emphasize the role source and target words’ meanings play in construing generic-level metaphors. The latter are taken to act as superordinate categories for other metaphors, occurring at various levels of schematicity. Identification of lower-level metaphors takes into account source words’ metaphorical senses, not the central meanings of the categories they represent. This method brings the issue of source words’ polysemy into play, and hence helps explain why metaphorical expressions relating to the same generic-level metaphor may activate different lower-level metaphors, which carry different metaphorical meanings.
Concept Representation and the Geometric Model of Mind
Authors: Duch Włodzisław
Published: January 2023

Current cognitive architectures are either working at the abstract, symbolic level, or the low, emergent level related to neural modeling. The best way to understand phenomena is to see, or imagine them, hence the need for a geometric model of mental processes. Geometric models should be based on an intermediate level of modeling that describe mental states in terms of features relevant from the first-person perspective but also linked to neural events. Concepts should be represented as geometrical objects that have sufficiently rich structures to show their properties and their relations to other concepts. The best way to create such geometrical representations of concepts is through the approximate description of the physical states of neural networks. The evolution of brain states is then represented as a trajectory linking successful concepts, and topological constraints on the shape of such trajectory define grammar and logic.
Knowledge Routines, Threads and Network Dynamics
Authors: Kawalec Paweł , Kawalec Anna
Published: January 2023

The paper focuses on knowledge generation, a topic frequently overlooked in the traditional debates in epistemology and philosophy of science. We focus on investigation as the primary process generating knowledge and its products. Investigation is taken as a generalization of the research process that includes similar knowledge-generating practices in aboriginal communities. To characterize the complexity of investigation processes and their products we go beyond traditional epistemological characterization of knowledge in terms of mental states and turn to the concept of routine. Investigation processes share a common symbolic representation form which we call here a knowledge thread. The dynamics of the knowledge thread may be characterized by two intertwined tiers: cognitive and institutional. Using examples from our previous studies, especially on the recent discovery of microRNAs in molecular biology, we illustrate the dynamics of threads and claim that it is susceptible to the social network analysis which, however, requires insightful applications and sound interpretation of the results. Such an interpretation, as we suggest, may further be elaborated on the grounds of anthropological theories of distributed agency and distributed cognition.
Surveillance in Capitalism Versus Surveillance Capitalism – Analisis of Contemporary Constraints of Civil Rights in the Context of Dataism and Post-Truth
Authors: Ciborowski Robert , Kargol-Wasiluk Aneta , Zalesko Marian
Published: January 2023

The paper is devoted to the issue of surveillance in capitalism (surveillance capitalism), a phenomenon which has spread in that socio-economic system since the beginning of the 21st century. We attempt to point out the harmfulness of information technologies developing in the wrong direction, carrying the ideas of dataism and post-truth, which increasingly colonize human living space. It turns out that the information (traces) that people leave while operating on the Internet is a source of predicting human behavior in the future (behavioral futures markets). Thus, for the most developed Internet enterprises in the world, they become a motive for violating what seem to be basic political rights, mainly freedom, property and security. As a result, under the influence of the disinformation often present on the Internet, people’s behavior may take the most socially undesirable forms, but desirable in the virtual world.

The considerations in the paper are primarily theoretical. The descriptive method was used with elements of the conceptual analysis of surveillance capitalism in the context of dataism and post-truth.

Published: January 2023

Speaking skills are essential language skills to master in the digital era. Indonesian teachers are therefore challenged to develop approaches and materials according to the development of students in this era. Gamification is an approach that Indonesian language teachers can develop to be more effective and make students involved in learning. This study intends to further explore gamification's effectiveness in learning speaking skills. The research is a quasi-experimental study involving 34 students of class XI IPS MAN 4 Jakarta in one learning session. All students were involved in total sampling and received treatment as a whole without a control group. The data were observed using a questionnaire according to the curriculum target and analyzed by frequency distribution. The results showed that gamification improved students' abilities, learning motivation, and engagement. The implication is that the gamification designed in this study can be further developed in accordance with the study's limitations. The game can also be developed digitally.

Published: January 2023

This research was designed to figure out the effectiveness of the think aloud strategy in improving students’ reading comprehension ability. The think aloud strategy is a learning strategy whereby students verbalize their thought as they read. Twenty 2nd grade students of MAS Darul Ulum Banda Aceh participated in this quantitative research. This research used a pre-experimental design with one-group pretest-posttest. The finding showed that the think aloud strategy improves students’ reading comprehension ability, especially in analytical exposition text. It can be seen from the mean score of the post-test (54.4) which was higher than that of the pre-test (36.4). The t-test analysis showed that the t-score (4.255) obtained a higher gain than the t-table (2.085). This strategy successfully helped the students to increase their reading comprehension ability in all aspects, particularly in identifying main ideas, making inferences, summarizing, and interpreting vocabulary. Therefore, the think aloud strategy can be considered as an effective instructional tool for teaching reading skill.
Reading With EDSAW Acronym at Tertiary Level
Authors: Gopal Revathi , Mering Magdelena Long
Published: January 2023

This study aims to explore the use of the EDSAW acronym, a reading strategy in locating contextual clues systematically among tertiary-level students. It takes a quantitative research design to answer the research question, ‘How effective is the use of the EDSAW acronym in comprehending a reading text?’ The sample was selected based on a purposive sampling technique that comprised 10 students from a public university who scored band 4 in the Malaysian University English Test (MUET). The data collection technique involves a pre-test and a post-test. A reading text was given during the pre-test where students were tasked to locate contextual clues without using the EDSAW acronym. Then, the same participants were taught to use the acronym in finding contextual clues in a reading text. The mean scores of the pre-test and post-test were compared. The findings revealed that there was a significant increase of 2.3 points in the mean score of the post-test. This study highlights the need for teachers and students to use the reading strategy EDSAW acronym during the teaching and learning of reading in ESL classrooms and fills a void in the area of reading comprehension by enabling students to read more independently.
An Investigation of Intrinsic Elements and Moral Value in The Paddington Film
Authors: Yusuf Khalidin , Nasir Chairina , Mahmud Masrizal
Published: January 2023

Film has become a more modern means of human’s life depiction than novel or any other written literary work because of its ability to present in audio-visual form. One of the film’s essential elements is intrinsic, the elements that interlink and build the film itself. This research centres on the intrinsic elements in The Paddington (2014) film using a structural approach. Moral value is also being discussed in this research using a separated theory by Linda and Eyre (1997). This research is contributing to the richness of current literary work research while simultaneously giving a support to upcoming and ongoing studies. This research analysed the data using descriptive qualitative method developed by Miles and Huberman (2013). Prior to this, the data had been collected using Creswell’s (2012) note-taking technique. The finding of this research discovered five intrinsic elements and twelve moral values in this film. While the intrinsic elements consist of theme, plot, character and characterization, setting, and point of view. More than 10 classifications of moral values were recorded in this study.
Well-structured electronic portfolio as a facilitator of engagement in EFL skills
Authors: Li Yan , Kaur Swaran Singh Charanjit
Published: January 2023

Electronic portfolios have been widely accepted as the learning and assessment tool for enhancing language skills and competence in higher education. However, previous studies have not profoundly examined how e-portfolios with well-defined structure influences students’ engagement. More information on e-portfolios and engagement is also needed. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the well-structured e-portfolios on students’ engagement in learning activities as these activities consist of self-and peer-assessment. To serve this intention, an explanatory sequential mixed method with questionnaires and interviews was used to obtain data. The questionnaires and reflective notes were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and the results of the interview were analyzed based on the qualitative thematic analysis technique. The findings show that there is no difference between EFL students’ perception and language skills. It was also indicated that self-assessment plays an essential role in engagement which informs constructs of e-portfolio. Further, a wider range of information on e-portfolio structure to deepen engagement was constructed. The conclusion profoundly informs and implicates instructional design and pedagogy in further study.
The effect of an English TV series with a bimodal subtitle on students' vocabulary acquisition
Authors: Yulia Miga , Fazaki Muhammad
Published: January 2023

Students of English struggle to remember large amounts of new vocabulary, which leads to a lack of vocabulary, and effective teaching methods and media affect students' knowledge of vocabulary. The current research focuses on using bimodal English-subtitled movie series to improve student vocabulary. The purpose of this research was to determine whether the vocabulary of students improved as a result of watching a seven-part English television series with English subtitle. This study employed quantitative approach, and thirty undergraduate students majoring in EFL were chosen to take part in this study. Prior to the intervention, the students were given a test of the vocabulary that was often found in the series, and they were given the same test following the intervention. The data were analyzed using paired sample t-test and the significance level of 0.05 was used to reject the null hypothesis. The finding shows that watching an English TV series with English subtitle significantly enhanced the students’ vocabulary. As a result, it is recommended that learners use an English TV series with English subtitles to improve their English vocabulary.

Authors: Hassan Samah , Almoallem Saleh , Alruwaili Abdullah , Alrwaili Ahmad , Alshalan Saif , Alqader Saud , Alhawiti Jamal , Alruwaili Ali
Published: January 2023

Aim: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hematologic multisystem disorder. Despite rapid growth in the therapeutic modalities for SCD, it is still considered a life-threatening disorder with high morbidity and mortality rates. This study aims at assessing the prevalence of the comorbidities in patients with SCD with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Methods: A computerized search was conducted through six databases. We included all papers that discussed the prevalence of neurological comorbidities in patients with SCD and OSA, whether alone or compared to patients with SCD and without OSA or any comparator. We calculated odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for stroke rates.
Results: Finally, we included six papers for this systematic review. There was a significant increase in stroke odds among the OSA group compared to the non-OSA one (OR = 1.84; 95% CI = 1.18-2.87; p-value = 0.024), with no significant heterogeneity among the included studies (I2 = 36%; p-value = 0.194). Seizure rates showed a significant increase in those with OSA compared to those without it (2.9% vs.1.7%; p-value < 0.001). The TIA and silent cerebral infarct rates were comparable among OSA and non-OSA groups.
Conclusion: OSA imposes a risk of neurological comorbidities among SCD patients.
Hypothenar fat pad flap to prevent ecurrence of carpal tunnel syndrome: a case report
Authors: Shash Hani , Alghamdi Abdulrahman , Shash Hayam , Almarzouq Sawsan
Published: January 2023

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is one of the most prevalent peripheral neuropathies and most commonly affects middle-aged women. The typical symptoms of CTS are nocturnal pain accompanied by tingling and numbness in the hand's median nerve distribution. The management of CTS ranges from conservative treatment to surgical intervention with good response. However, the recurrence of CTS after the first surgery can reach up to 25%, and up to 95% after the second one.
Case Presentation: We report a 41-year-old woman with a Schwannoma of her right median nerve with CTS. She developed a recurrence of the symptoms despite traditional surgical correction three times. The plan is to do an alternative surgical procedure, the hypothenar fat pad flap (HTFPF), particularly due to the neuroma aiming to cover the affected nerve with fat and prevent further recurrence. The surgery was successful, and the patient's symptoms subsided with no further recurrences.
Conclusion: The HTFPF is an excellent surgical choice for recurrent CTS, and the choice of surgery in these cases should be individualized according to the patient clinical condition.

Published: January 2023

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common disease worldwide affecting nearly 10%-20% of the population, a severe form of AR could have a significant impact on the quality of life, sleep, and work performance which places a marked financial and logistical burden on healthcare systems. Regardless of these harmful outcomes, the disease has been generally overlooked, with physicians and researchers only recently starting to pay more attention to it. A complete medical history and physical examination are the cornerstone for diagnosing AR. Allergy testing is considered to be an important part to confirm the underlying cause of AR. Referral to an allergist should be considered when the diagnosis of AR is in doubt. The current treatment modalities for AR include the following: patient education, strategies to prevent irritants and allergens, medication, allergen immunotherapy, nasal irrigates, and other uncommon treatments like surgery and acupuncture. Currently, pharmacotherapy comprises short-term nasal decongestants, antihistamines, leukotriene receptor antagonists, nasal/oral corticosteroids, and mast cell stabilizers. Patients with the disease usually do not realize the impact of the disease on their quality of life and daily living activities. Therefore, health workers must pay more attention to the early development of the illness to be diagnosed correctly and treated efficiently. This study reviews AR and its management.

La Segunda Reserva del ejército en Veracruz, 1900-1902
Authors: Sánchez Rojas Luis Ignacio
Published: January 2023

Cuando a principios del siglo XX el Ministerio de Guerra creó la Segunda Reserva del ejército, ésta gozó de una amplia recepción por parte de la sociedad veracruzana, pues su parecido con la institución de la desmovilizada Guardia Nacional, permitió a los reservistas contar con una serie de derechos y prerro­gativas. Esto dio al reservismo una enorme popularidad y provocó que un buen número de hombres de todas las clases sociales (pero en especial de la clase media) trataran de convertirse en oficiales reservistas. La amplitud de dicho movimiento alertó a Porfirio Díaz sobre una posible militarización de la socie­dad y la aparición de nuevas redes clientelares, lo que lo convenció de actuar en contra de la Segunda Reserva, logrando abolirla a inicios de 1903. The Second Reserve of the Army in Veracruz, 1900-1902When at the beginning of the twentieth century the Department of War created the Second Reserve of the Army, Veracruz an society received this institution with open arms, as its resemblance with the demobilized National Guard allowed the reservists to enjoy a set of rights and privileges. This in turn gave reserve service tremendous popularity, inspiring a wide spectrum of men of all social strata (but specially of the middle class) to try to become reservist officers. The wide spread nature of this movement, alerted Porfirio Diaz about a militarization of the society and the appearance of new clientelist networks, that convinced him to abolish the Second Reserve in early 1903.

Published: January 2023

Si algo ha significado a nuestra Constitución Política desde el momento en que emanó del pacto constitucional de 1917, es el espíritu social de profunda raíz humanista que sostiene al orden jurídico, cuya columna vertebral garantiza el derecho de los mexicanos a tener una vida digna en libertad, posibilidad subyacente en el ejercicio de la democracia y en el cumplimiento de la justicia social. En este orden de ideas, la educación, principio que nos ocupa, es uno de los pilares fundamentales que sustenta y reproduce la estructura social, no sólo de México, sino de todas las sociedades humanas. Mediante la educación toda sociedad preserva sus rasgos culturales esenciales, pero también impulsa los cambios y las transformaciones requeridas para el desarrollo general. La educación, asimismo, abre a los individuos la posibilidad para lograr mejores condiciones de vida y obtener el engrandecimiento cultural personal, comunitario y nacional.
Rostros de la presencia polaca en México: un vuelo a través de la historia
Authors: Jacorzynski Witold Robert , Kozlowski Marcin Jacek
Published: January 2023

El presente artículo describe algunos episodios de la presencia polaca en la historia de México. El artículo parte de los supuestos teóricos pragmatistas y hace uso de tales conceptos emparentados y polisémicos como "presencia", "heraldía", "encuentros", "viajes", "refugio", "exilio", "asilo", "migración", "imagen", etc., para, con su ayuda, describir densamente algunas tendencias que destacan en la historia de los contactos entre Polonia y México en el contexto nacional de ambos países, además del contexto internacional en diferentes épocas históricas. A partir de allí, se propone circunscribir la "presencia" polaca en México a los siguientes periodos: la Conquista de México y los tiempos de la Colonia, el periodo de la independencia de México hasta la Primera Guerra Mundial, el periodo entre las dos guerras y la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y, finalmente, la época de la posguerra hasta la actualidad.

Published: January 2023

Uno de los rubros más importantes de la economía poblana ha sido la producción de azúcar, actividad que data desde el Virreinato, cuando se empezó a cultivar y procesar la caña de azúcar, fundamentalmente en las zonas de Izúcar de Matamoros y Tehuacán. Este artículo, además de presentar algunos datos históricos, aborda el proceso organizativo y las principales luchas de los trabajadores del sector agroindustrial azucarero; de manera especial hace referencia al complejo de Atencingo, donde William Oscar Jenkins ejerció un férreo control que limitó el desarrollo del movimiento sindical de la región. También anota el accionar de las centrales sindicales que incursionaron en ambos lugares y la incorporación de los obreros del ingenio de Atencingo al Sindicato de Trabajadores de la Industria Azucarera y Similares de la República Mexicana. El artículo finaliza con algunas consideraciones de la autora.
Una imagen del cultivo del maguey en los paisajes del centro de México, 1890-1910
Authors: Ramírez Rodríguez Rodolfo , Hernández López José Jesús
Published: January 2023

En la historiografía mexicana, el imaginario de un paisaje agrario de monocultivo durante la época del Porfiriato se ha mantenido vigente debido a los discursos oficiales que emanaron antes y después de la reforma agraria. La especialización y modernización agrícola efectuadas en los años 1890 a 1910 ha dado cabida a esta imagen del ámbito rural. Sin embargo, con la revisión de escritos de viajeros extranjeros y de fotografías tomadas en los cultivos del altiplano de Apan —ambos agentes externos del cultivo y de la producción de maguey—, se puede corroborar que el paisaje “pulquero” era más complejo y variado de lo que se ha creído, y que las actividades de esas haciendas rara vez pudieron haber sido un monocultivo extensivo como ocurre hoy con plantaciones comerciales de otras bebidas de agave. Palabras clave: Paisaje, haciendas, maguey, fotografía, viajeros extranjeros.Recepción: 30 de septiembre de 2017/Aceptación: 19 de abril de 2018

El simbolismo ofídico del agua en la cosmovisión de los zoques de Chiapas
Authors: Báez-Jorge Félix
Published: January 2023

En la cosmovisión zoque (grupo étnico asentado en el estado de Chiapas) el simbolismo ofídico se articula a la dimensión mítica, al ámbito social y a la naturaleza; opera como entidad liminar que vincula el plano terrestre y el celeste. Los zoques atribuyen a la serpiente la función de mensajera simbólica entre la tierra y el cielo. En las cosmovisiones de nuestros días, como lo fue en la antigüedad, el símbolo serpentino vinculado a la naturaleza del agua es radicalmente analítico para comprender el pensamiento religioso mesoamericano.

t has been proven that modern transformational processes require a rethinking of approaches to ensure the efficiency of the functioning of regions by improving the land resources management system, as the main factors of their development. At the same time, the modern European experience of land administration and information provision of the formation and use of real estate based on the application of the multi-purpose cadastre is considered. The need to use mathematical modelling tools for the formation and use of information support of multi-purpose cadastre at the regional level is determined.The purpose of the study is to present the results of mathematical modelling of the processes of formation and use of information support of the multi-purpose cadastre at the regional level. To achieve the set goal, the following tasks were completed:-development of mathematical modelling directions;-determination of the tools for mathematical modelling of the processes of formation and use of information support of the multi-purpose cadastre at the regional level.Mathematical modelling of the processes of development of the information support of the multi-purpose cadastre was carried out on the basis of establishing relationships between system factors and an integral indicator by applying the method of correlation-regression analysis, which provides the opportunity to build predictive models and establish trends in the formation and use of real estate at the regional level, taking into account spatial, urban planning, investment and environmental support.Summarizing the existing theoretical and methodological provisions, the definition of a multi-purpose cadastre at the regional level is proposed, which considers the totality of spatial, urban planning, investment and environmental support, which made it possible to build a multi-level information system for the formation of a quantitative basis for real estate management at the regional level.The results of mathematical modelling made it possible to form a quantitative basis for the development of scientifically based recommendations for the formation and use of a multi-purpose cadastre at the regional level

In the second chapter a study was conducted on the impact of the European Union’s tax policy on the development of Latvia’s tax policy from 1990 to 2021 and the EU’s tax requirements, which are limiting the optimization criteria of state-oriented tax policy optimization. In the third chapter, the process of optimization of taxation is analysed in two aspects: state-oriented and business-oriented, the concept of reliability of the tax system is introduced. A tax prism method is developed, and a variant optimization method is proposed to solve the problem of determining a rational combination in the “equity – efficiency” system. The tax system is transformed into a composite system, the classical and quantum approaches are considered. In the fourth chapter, using the tools developed in Chapter 3, the results of assessing the reliability of the Latvian tax system after the reforms of 2018 and 2020 are presented, as well as the impact of external socio-economic indicators on total tax collections (including social payments). The application of the tax prisms is demonstrated. Time series of monthly tax revenues to the Latvian budget, starting from 2016, are constructed and analysed using ARIMA and SARIMA models. For the implementation of variant optimization, combined diagrams are built, the results of processing a survey of experts are given. Based on the analysis of the transport tax in force (including other tax factors, impacting the cost of vehicle usage) in Latvia, and its scenario analysis is carried out. The content of the work (introduction, four chapters, conclusions and proposals) is presented on 164 pages (excluding annexes), illustrated with 43 figures and 9 tables, and has 26 formulas. The bibliography includes 264 references. 11 annexes are attached to the work.

Integrēta pieeja nodokļu optimizācijai Latvijā Doktora disertācijas darba mērķis ir izstrādāt instrumentus Latvijas nodokļu sistēmas pilnveidošanai un uzticamības palielināšanai, ņemot vērā valsts un biznesa atšķirīgās intereses turpmākai kompleksai nodokļu optimizācijai. Pirmajā nodaļā ir analizēti nodokļu politikas teorijas jautājumi, apkopojot nodokļu evolūcijas un nodokļu piemērošanas teorētiskus aspektus, sistematizējot nodokļu politikas kritērijus un veiktos pētījumus, kas saistīti ar piedāvājuma ekonomikas teorijas un A. B. Lafēra līknes piemērošanu, kā valsts nodokļu politikas optimizācijas valstiski orientētajiem kritērijiem. Otrajā nodaļā ir veikts pētījums par Eiropas Savienības nodokļu politikas ietekmi uz Latvijas nodokļu politikas attīstību no 1990. līdz 2021. gadam un ES nodokļu prasībām, kas ierobežo valstiski orientētas nodokļu politikas optimizācijas kritērijus. Trešajā nodaļā analizēts nodokļu optimizācijas process divos virzienos: valstiski-orientētais un biznesa-orientētais virziens, ieviests nodokļu sistēmas uzticamības jēdziens. Izstrādāta nodokļu prizmas metode un piedāvāta variantu optimizācijas metode, lai atrisinātu racionālas kombinācijas noteikšanas problēmu sistēmā “taisnīgums – efektivitāte”. Nodokļu sistēma ir pārveidota par saliktu sistēmu, apskatīta klasiskā un kvantu pieeja. Ceturtajā nodaļā, izmantojot 3. nodaļā izstrādātos rīkus, ir sniegti Latvijas nodokļu sistēmas uzticamības novērtējuma rezultāti pēc 2018. un 2020. gada reformām, kā arī ārējo sociāli ekonomisko rādītāju ietekme uz kopējo nodokļu iekasēšanu (t. sk. sociālie maksājumi), demonstrēts nodokļu prizmas metodes lietojums. Izmantojot ARIMA un SARIMA modeļus, tika veidotas un analizētas ikmēneša nodokļu ieņēmumu rindas Latvijas budžetā, sākot ar 2016. gadu. Lai realizētu variantu optimizāciju, tiek veidotas kombinētās diagrammas un prezentēti ekspertu aptaujas apstrādes rezultāti. Pamatojoties uz Latvijā spēkā esošā transportlīdzekļa ekspluatācijas nodokļa analīzi (ieskaitot citus nodokļu faktorus, kas ietekmē transportlīdzekļa lietošanas izmaksas), tika veikta tā scenāriju analīze. Disertācija sastāv no ievada, četrām nodaļām, secinājumiem un priekšlikumiem. Darba saturs (ievads, četras nodaļas, secinājumi un priekšlikumi) izklāstīts 164 lappusēs (bez pielikumiem), ilustrēts ar 43 attēliem un 9 tabulām un 26 formulām. Bibliogrāfija – 264 literatūras avoti. Darbā ir 11 pielikumi.

Statement of the problem. Blended learning models have limitations related to the age of students, technical support, the content of the subject, etc. The use of blended learning in teaching Basics of Life Safety has its own characteristics. In particular, it is necessary to focus on the practical component of the educational process. The purpose of the article is to conduct a comparative analysis of the blended learning models Flipped Classroom and Station Rotation in the context of teaching Basics of Life Safety. The research methodology includes the analysis of the features for implementation of blended learning in a general education organization. Traditional methods of theoretical research (analysis and synthesis, etc.), analysis of regulatory documents and electronic information resources in the field of education and life safety were used. Research results. A comparative analysis of rotational models of blended learning in the context of teaching Basics of Life Safety has been carried out. The Flipped Classroom model is more appropriate for working with high school students when practical skills are required. An important condition for successful implementation is the availability of high-quality digital educational content or information and electronic environment. For the implementation of e-learning within the subject of life safety, there are no ready-made high-quality educational resources. The Station Rotation model is more universal; work in the information-electronic environment can be replaced by work on other electronic training tools specific to the field of life safety: mannequin simulators, interactive modules and posters, digital laboratories, etc. Conclusions. The use of rotational models of blended learning in the educational process on the Basics of Life Safety makes it possible to strengthen the practical component of the subject, including using specific electronic learning tools.

Statement of the problem. Mastering vocabulary in foreign language classes is a prerequisite for the development of basic speech skills (reading, listening, writing, speaking). According to modern requirements for teaching vocabulary, various visualization tools are successfully used for effective work with lexical material. This article considers Word cloud and Mind map as visualization tools. The purpose of this article is to describe the practice of using Word cloud and Mind map tools when teaching vocabulary in foreign language classes to students majoring in linguistics. Methodology (materials and methods). The methodology is based on the experience of Russian and foreign researchers who have dealt with the methods of working with vocabulary, including the use of technical and visualization tools, such as Word cloud and Mind map. Also, as a research method, an experiment with the participation of students of the department of foreign languages is used. As part of the experiment, students were divided into two groups and assigned to present new vocabulary in the Word cloud or Mind map format after initial familiarization with the vocabulary and the rules of designing a Word cloud and a Mind map. At the next stage, students were asked to complete a written task using the vocabulary they had learned. Research results. As a result of the study, the analysis of students’ written works was carried out, the advantages and disadvantages of using both tools were identified, the prospects for using Word cloud and Mind map when mastering vocabulary in foreign language classes were outlined. Conclusion. The research showed the effectiveness of using the Mind map and Word cloud tools in foreign language classes to improve students’ professional and personal skills. Obviously, the involvement of these tools in working with vocabulary contributes to the coverage of a larger amount of material, more effective memorization and high-quality reproduction of new vocabulary in students’ speaking practice.
