Use of Global Positioning System in mine landscaping and visual impact assessment: A case study
Authors: Fadda S. , Fiori M. , Matzuzzi C.
Published: January 2021

The satellite-based Global Positioning System (GPS) needs a clear view of sky for determining a geodetic position and hence it is particularly suitable in overall projects of open-pit recovery and landscape restoration. The purpose of such measurements is to make highly accurate topographic maps thus forming the backbone of a project. In the work presented here geodetic measurements are combined with advanced visualisation techniques and GIS applications in a possible recovery plan of the abandoned excavations of Bonucoro in the mining district of Orani, central Sardinia, Italy. Considering the naturalistic and geographic settings of the mining area and its surroundings, a few proposals concerning the re-utilisation of these excavations are presented. The preparatory work consisted of the area characterisation by carrying out a topographic survey followed by a geodetic control network establishment by the GPS to describe the morphological features of the landscape and for the subsequent three-dimensional analysis and geoprocessing. The final step involved the use of VueInfinite, a computer program capable to integrate graphical data with geological and morphological attributes. It was also able to create a virtual 3D scene of a present, past, or future landscape required for visual impact assessment.

Socialism and the Jewish Community in Slovakia
Authors: Salner Peter
Published: January 2021

This study is based on data acquired by the oral history method and discusses the reflections of two generations of Jews in relation to the socialist regime in Czechoslovakia (1948–1989). The first generation is represented by people who had survived the Holocaust. The second generation is represented by the ‘children of the Holocaust’ (born 1945–1965). They grew up at a time when the political realm was completely dominated by theCommunist Party. Their attitudes only changed with the invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968. This probe suggests differences which stem from contrasting life experiences.
Medicine Masks of the Iroquois People as Revealed by the False Faces Society
Authors: Niesyto Josef
Published: January 2021

Present-day Iroquois are seeking to preserve traditional healing methods. Members of the False Faces Society routinely perform cleansing rituals using Hodo masks. The spiritual significance and proceedings of the rituals were conveyed by the employees of the Iroquois community center (Longhouse) and the fellow tribesmen gathered around these centers. The participants provided information on the ways of acquiring, crafting, invoking, storage, and honoring the sanctified, animated artifact – the mask. The author of the article confronts the current position of the Onondaga Reserve and the Grand River Reserve Iroquois with historical teachings. The elder generation of Indians has maintained their faith in the mystical power of the rituals, while the secularized new generation approaches them with a strong skepticism.

Published: January 2021

Recently cases of harness which is conducted by children indicated that decrease capability of children understanding against other's mental states Children’s ability to grasp other’s mental states (theory of mind) is important in the context of socialization. Previous research has not investigated the duration in measuring the exposure of narrative media (children's movies on television), which is one of the impacts on the acquisition of ToM. The movie on television represents the relations between children and their mental state. This study aims to investigate the influence of exposure to children’s movies on television towards children's ToM acquisition among preschoolers. ToM was assessed using a ToM scale by Wellman and Liu, and exposure to children’s movies on television was measured with a questionnaire. The study has been conducted to 85 preschoolers ages 3–5 years old/36-71 months ((M = 4.88 SD = 0,683), with the involvement of their parents to fill the questionnaires. The result of this study shows that exposure to children's movies on television does not significantly influence children’s ToM. The strong relations between the two is considered false belief (FB) since the result of the study shows that.

Data Capitalism: Efficiency as a sociability degree function
Authors: Kaufman Dora
Published: January 2021

The purpose of this paper is to address the relationship between sociability and efficiency in AI-drive models, in how contemporary economics has brought the notion of efficiency into our personal lives. Initially we introduced the basics of three key concepts of the article: data capitalism, data and deep learning. Next, we describe the exponential evolution of storage, processing and transmission technology showing that over the years, the ability to transform analog data into digital data has expanded exponentially. This capacity increased the efficiency of the operational processes with the measure of efficiency calculated and controlled against the maximum potential of the digital data produced in these interactions. For traditional firms, competing with digital rivals involves rearchitecting the firm’s organization and operating model. The compartmentalisation in silos compromises the efficiency of AI-drive models which demand integrated data base. The digital transformation requires huge investment in management, time and financial resources. However, it is the only way to remain competitive and survive in the 21st century market. The commitment to identify and measure user preferences and habits, and then to predict behaviour, is the logic behind technology platforms and applications, online social networks, e-commerce and search engines. Digital platforms are designed to extend the lifespan of their users, thereby generating greater engagement and more data. The originality of this paper is to correlate sociability and economic efficiency in the present business environment with a technological and social approach.

Published: January 2021

É tendência global a utilização de tecnologias facilitadoras em todos os setores da vida cotidiana como, por exemplo, o uso da inteligência artificial, internet das coisas, Big Data e plataformas digitais. Por outro lado, o direito fundamental à privacidade e intimidade no ambiente digital é também crucial para que seja garantida a dignidade do indivíduo. A privacidade online é um dos principais desafios na indústria 4.0. O presente ensaio propõe-se a analisar o surgimento da internet das coisas e o impacto da Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados – LGPD - sobre tais atividades, notadamente a proteção ao direito fundamental à privacidade digital. Para tanto, busca-se uma compreensão do significado de internet das coisas e, em sequência, verifica-se a aplicabilidade das disposições da nova LGPD (Lei nº 13.709/18) às operações envolvendo essa nova tecnologia. A pesquisa teve abordagem dedutiva, empregou-se o método interpretativo sistemático e manusearam-se fontes bibliográfico-documental. Conclui-se que as dificuldades em torno da regulamentação do uso de novas tecnologias aplicadas à LGPD existem, todavia não poderão ser usadas como meio de isenção de responsabilidade no tratamento dos dados pessoais através dos dispositivos da internet das coisas. Os esforços deverão ser no intuito de compatibilizar o uso dos dispositivos da internet das coisas e a proteção dos dados pessoais. Para tanto, imprescindível se faz a construção de elementos procedimentais e técnicas que proporcionem o abrandamento dessa tensão existencial.

Published: January 2021

Introduction. The article analizes the peculiarities of the educational process organization in pedagogical universities. The need of modernization the higher education content is pointed out, considering internal and external factors. Building an educational institution and increasing its competitiveness is impossible without understanding the links that are formed between its structural units and higher education students. The purpose of the article is to highlight the peculiarities of the educational process organization in pedagogical universities, creation of a structural and functional model of a higher education institution of pedagogical profile. Results. The main approaches to the educational process organization in pedagogical universities are analyzed. It has been found that the socialization of students has certain specific features, which are explained by studying in higher education institution and orientation to the future profession. It has been revealed that the student-centered approach involves participants’ dialogue in the learning process based on equality and mutual respect, the choice of their own educational trajectory, the use of active learning methods, etc. The application of the competency approach involves students’ getting professional and general competencies that will be needed to solve professional and life issues. It has been found that future teachers in addition to their professional knowledge and skills, must have pedagogical proficiency. The structural components of university that ensure the educational process organization and interaction with students include components of management, structures that provide the educational process directly and subsidiary structures. Separate structural blocks (dean’s office, faculty, correspondence department) have their own structural elements which can be interacted by applicants actively. It is noted that the development of communication skills and social competence are important components of interaction with various structural units. Originality. The structural-functional scheme of the educational process organization of the higher education institution is constructed and the interaction of the structural subdivisions with the higher education applicants is described. Conclusion. According to the authors, the educational process organization should occure with the usage of modern pedagogical technologies and paradigms, and each structural unit should be responsible for the realization of its functional responsibilities. Further research is expected to clarify the list of organizational issues raised during the communication of students with teachers, the dean’s office and student government

Published: January 2021

The meaning of the concept "methodical training of future teachers" is revealed. The need to im- prove the methodological training of future computer sci- ence teachers while studying in higher education institu- tions is substantiated. The analysis of the methodical component of professional training of applicants for higher education at the bachelor's and master's levels according to the educational-professional program Secondary Edu- cation (Informatics) is carried out. Methodical training of applicants for higher pedagogical education is aimed at mastering the basics of methodical activities of the subject teacher and is based on special (subject), psychological, pedagogical and methodological knowledge and skills, as well as professional motives that permeate each of the previous components. The peculiarities of the organization of methodical training in the process of studying the methods of teaching computer science are revealed, ex- amples of educational and methodical tasks are given, the solution of which is aimed at mastering methodical knowledge and formation of methodical skills. Emphasis is placed on the methodological training of future teachers on the basis of the competence paradigm. Methodological training should be cross-cutting and reflected at all stages of obtaining the qualification of "computer science teacher" in a higher education institution, primarily by means of disciplines from the cycle of professional training of com- pulsory and elective components of the educational- professional program. It is necessary to take into account the purpose and objectives of the school course "Informat- ics", tools, methods and principles of teaching, content of educational material, projected learning outcomes, meth- ods of teaching computer science in general and its indi- vidual sections, the dynamic development of computer science as a basic science and as a discipline in the sec- ondary education institutions. Methodical training of future teachers of computer science is considered as: learning process; component of the training system; learn- ing outcome. It is found that the result of methodical train- ing is acquired at a certain level of methodological compe- tence, which reflects the formed skills to reasonably and methodically construct the educational process from the school course of computer science for a specific didactic situation taking into account psychological mechanisms of learning and developing computer skills.
THE ROLE OF INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION IN THE PROCESS OF TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES TO FUTURE MANAGERS OF SOCIO-CULTURAL ACTIVITIES AT THE PRESENT STAGE
Authors:   Doctor in Pedagogy, Professor, Chair of Pedagogical Sciences, Educational and Socio-Cultural Management Department, Bohdan Khmelnytsky National University at Cherkasy, DANYLYUK Serhiy
Published: January 2021

The need to review goals, objectives and teaching methods in the process of teaching foreign languages in Ukraine in connection with the rapid entry of Ukraine into the world community, which, in its turn, leads to changes in both general methodology and specific methods, and techniques in the theory and practice of teaching foreign languages is discussed in the paper. It is noted that the main purpose of learning a foreign language is the formation of a linguistic personality who is ready for real, productive com- munication with representatives of other cultures at different levels and in different spheres of life. At the forefront is the need for verbal support for intercultural communication. Emphasis is placed on the fact that an integrative approach to foreign language teaching is especially important in the context of intercultural dialogue, which assumes that the interaction of different worldviews presented by communicators in- cludes their logics, thinking, values and is not blocked but stimulated by mutual understanding, tolerance, positive attitude. It is emphasized that relations are intercultural if their participants do not resort to their own traditions, customs, ideas and ways of behavior, but get acquainted with other people’s rules and norms of everyday communication. Intercultural communication requires that the sender and recipient of the message belong to different cultures. It also requires participants in communication to be aware of each other’s cultural differences. In essence, intercultural communication is always interpersonal communication in a special context, when one par- ticipant discovers the cultural difference of another.It is also said that successful intercultural communication involves, in addition to foreign language proficiency, the ability to adequately interpret the communicative behavior of a representative of a foreign society, as well as the willingness of partic- ipants to perceive other forms of communicative behavior, understanding its differences and variation from culture to culture. The strategy of convergence of non-cultural knowledge is aimed at preventing not only semantic but also cultural failures in communication.

The methodology for choosing the optimal conditions for irradiation of specimens in the material testing channel of the VVR-M research nuclear reactor is presented in the article. The solution to such a problem is necessary to justify the possibility of irradiation of specimens in the material testing channel under given irradiation conditions. In this case, the irradiation conditions include not only the height distribution of the neutron flux density, but also the spectrum of neutrons and the temperature of the specimen in the material testing channel. This approach optimizes the work of VVR-M reactor by placing the maximum possible number of specimens in the material testing channel for irradiation. Also, the optimization of the VVR-M operation involves choosing the location of the research channel in the VVR-M core, where, during the planned irradiation time, the maximum flux density of fast neutrons or neutrons of other energies will be reached, depending on the task. The neutron-physical model of the research nuclear reactor VVR-M in the calculation code SCALE was used for research. The reliability in the determination of neutron-physical characteristics in the VVR-M material testing channel is confirmed by the results of validation carried out at the previous stage of research. It is shown that in order to ensure the necessary accuracy in the determination of the neutron flux parameters in the material testing channel, it is necessary to take into account the fuel burnup, as well as the actual scheme of fuel assemblies rearranging in the VVR-M core for various fuel loads. The results of calculations of important neutronphysical characteristics of the model of a VVR-M nuclear reactor for fuel loading, which is in operation today, on the basis of which it is possible to optimize the choice of the location of the material testing channel in the VVR-M core are presented in the article.

Homo Digitalis, Digital culture and Digital Education: Explorations of Philosophical Anthropology and of Philosophy of Education
Authors: Kultaieva Maria
Published: January 2021

The article presents an analysis of reflections of the Western philosophical anthropology and anthropological oriented philosophy of education upon the digital culture as a new stage of the mass culture development inherited from industrial society. It was done with the aim to show the heuristic potential of the conceptualizations of the digital culture in philosophical anthropology and philosophy of education. The orientation function of the concept “homo digitalis” is unveiled, which is wide-spread using in the West-European, especially in Germany, and in the provocative philosophy of education. The ideal-typically construct of the human as the creation and the creator of the digital culture explains the distinctiveness of the communications in the space of this culture which is represented generally as a visual culture making provocation on purpose making close of the traditional writing culture. There is settling a comparative analyze of human figures created of the different generations of the German philosophical anthropology with accentuating on the semantics of homo digitalis, homo faber and homo creator which are partly complementary. The spatially and temporally characteristics of the digital culture are described, its forms of the communication are explicating in their singularity where the phatic communication predominates and risks of the digital alienation exists. The digital culture changes the self-recognition of the post-industrial societies which need world-view and moral orientation including expertly moral evaluation that is necessary for the prevention of the modernization risks. The pathologies of the digital culture, especially the digital dementia can be observed in the practices of the digital education else, but the blended Learning, if it is rationally organized and adequately administrated available resources, can minimizes those pathologies.

Siphoviruses with a prolate capsid infecting Pseudomonas sp. were isolated from environmental sources through the world, and were recently defined as a separate taxonomic genus Yuavirus. Besides a distinguishable morphology, the hallmarks of the genus are heavily modified genomic DNA and a lytic infection cycle while putative lysogeny genes are proposed in the genomes. Bacteriophage AN14 was isolated from Lake Baikal ecosystem and was assigned as a member of Yuavirus. We report the biological and morphological features if this phage, as well as the comprehensive reannotation of its genome. Modern bioinformatics and phylogenomic analysis resulted in the refinement of the taxonomic attribution of the YuA-like phages and highlighting the specific genomic and proteomic features typical for Yuavirus phages including AN14.

Electrolytes play an important role in the battery components it determines the electrochemical window or the working potential region of the battery according to the LUMO and HOMO energy levels and reflects its thermodynamic stability when contacting with the electrode materials. The choice of the electrolyte affects significantly the specific energy, safety, cycle life, storage performance, or operating conditions of batteries. Besides, the electrolytes could be perfectly improved its performance within the addition of some essential additives, which also help to increase the performance of the battery. In this study, the effects of NaPF6, NaClO4, NaOTf, NaFSI, and NaTFSI salts on the hard carbon anode performance were investigated in the carbonate ester solvents including EC:DMC:PC (1:1:1) of 1 M salt concentration without and with additives FEC, VC, and Py13. The compatibility hard carbon electrode-electrolyte systems were investigated for their electrochemical performance by using Galvanostatic cycling with potential limitation, Cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in coin-cell type. Among the studied electrolytes, the electrolyte EC:DMC:PC (1:1:1) + 1 M NaOTf exhibited the best electrochemical performance. The specific capacity was above 246 mAh/g after 100 cycles and the Coulombic efficiency higher than 99.6%.
PROVIDING THE BEST PREVENTION AND TREATMENT FOR DIABETES PATIENTS

Published: January 2021

Diabetes is one of the main threats to human health in this century. The drastic increase in incidence of diabetes worldwide has been attributed to distinct changes in human behavior and lifestyle during the last century. To prevent the personal and socio-economic burden of diabetes effort to prevent the disease needs to start before the onset of diabetes and address all susceptibility factors. Four recent studies have shown that prevention of type 2 diabetes is possible and that reinforced lifestyle interventions / modification can significantly reduce the onset of the disease. The studies repeatedly showed that for about 60% of the persons with increased diabetes risk, compared to a control group, the diabetes was prevented from developing. Early pharmacologic preventive strategies have yielded 25-30%. These studies have convincingly demonstrated that the primary aim in prevention of type 2 diabetes is the stabilization of glucose tolerance due to improvement of insulin resistance. Based on the studies intervention protocol focuses on achieving 5 core goals. With respect to the world wide burden of diabetes this studies offer a compelling evidence-base for the important translation of the research findings into community-based prevention strategies a development of a National Diabetes Prevention Program.
