Exploring Factors Linked to the Mathematics Achievement of Ethnic Minority Students in China for Sustainable Development: A Multilevel Modeling Analysis
Authors: Su Aoxue , He Wei
Published: April 2020

To improve the sustainable development of minority education and ensure equitable quality education, this study explored student- and school-related factors linked to the mathematics achievement of minority senior high school students in China. Based on the data obtained from 932 teachers and 1873 students, within 31 interior ethnic boarding schools in 14 provinces of China, multilevel analysis showed that gender, class organization, learning strategies, and learning self-efficacy were significant student-level predictors of mathematics achievement. Students were more likely to score highly if they were boys, were in mixed classes, had more self-efficacy in learning mathematics, and used more effective mathematics learning strategies. At the school level, teachers’ job satisfaction positively predicted students’ mathematics achievement. Additionally, there was a significant interaction between school location and expected class organization in relationship to students’ mathematics achievement. For schools located in the urban center, the effect of class organization on students’ mathematics achievement was greater than schools located in the suburbs. For the sustainable development of minority education, it is necessary to further promote mixed-class teaching, set such schools in the suburbs, and improve teachers’ job satisfaction through multiple measures.

Published: April 2020

The aim of this 5-year study was to evaluate the technical, economic, and environmental performances of a collective-based integrated treatment system for bioenergy production and nutrients removal to improve the utilization efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of land applied livestock manure. The study involved 12 livestock production units located in an intensive livestock area designated as nitrate vulnerable zone with large N surplus. The treatment system consisted of an anaerobic digestion unit, a solid–liquid separation system, and a biological N removal process. Atmospheric emissions and nutrient losses in water and soil were examined for the environmental assessment, while estimated crop removal and nutrient utilization efficiencies were used for the agronomic assessment. The integrated treatment system achieved 49% removal efficiency for total solids (TS), 40% for total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), and 41% for total phosphorous (TP). A surplus of 58kWh/t of treated manure was achieved considering the electricity produced by the biogas plant and consumed by the treatment plant and during transportation of raw and treated manure. A profit of 1.61 €/t manure treated and an average reduction of global warming potential by 70% was also achieved. The acidification potential was reduced by almost 50%. The agronomic use of treated manure eliminated the TKN surplus and reduced the TP surplus by 94%. This collective integrated treatment system can be an environmentally and economically sustainable solution for farms to reduce N surplus in intensive livestock production areas.

Published: April 2020

Interactions between the major structural glycoprotein E2 of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) with host proteins have been identified as important factors affecting virus replication and virulence. Previously, using the yeast two-hybrid system, we identified swine host proteins specifically interacting with CSFV E2. In this report, we use a proximity ligation assay to demonstrate that swine host protein CCDC115 interacts with E2 in CSFV-infected swine cells. Using a randomly mutated E2 library in the context of a yeast two-hybrid methodology, specific amino acid mutations in the CSFV E2 protein responsible for disrupting the interaction with CCDC115 were identified. A recombinant CSFV mutant (E2ΔCCDC115v) harboring amino acid changes disrupting the E2 protein interaction with CCDC115 was produced and used as a tool to assess the role of the E2–CCDC115 interaction in viral replication and virulence in swine. CSFV E2ΔCCDC115v showed a slightly decreased ability to replicate in the SK6 swine cell line and a greater replication defect in primary swine macrophage cultures. A decreased E2–CCDC115 interaction detected by PLA is observed in cells infected with E2ΔCCDC115v. Importantly, animals intranasally infected with 105 TCID50 of E2ΔCCDC115v experienced a significantly longer survival period when compared with those infected with the parental Brescia strain. This result would indicate that the ability of CSFV E2 to bind host CCDC115 protein during infection plays an important role in virus replication in swine macrophages and in virus virulence during the infection in domestic swine.

Application of artificial intelligence in control systems of economic activity
Authors: Melnychenko Oleksandr
Published: April 2020

The implementation of the tasks of evaluating historical financial information, the control or audit of business activities are based primarily on professional judgments about the object of study of a professional accountant or auditor. Their findings are drawn on the review of documents, the use of audit evidence, risk assessment, etc. There is always a probability (and rather high) that professional judgment will be based on incomplete information (since the dynamics of information changes is extremely high today), on the misstatements (since it is impossible to trace all the changes in knowledge related to the object of study), regardless of the quality of the performance of these individuals. In addition, the auditor often takes subjective decisions (for example, when choosing individual elements for the assessment from the general population), which also affects the degree of objectivity of his assessments. Artificial intelligence is the tool that could handle the entire set of knowledge, track all changes in the significant and important information, as well as in the insignificant and unimportant (which, however, also has an effect on the object of analysis). It does not have a work schedule or other restrictions on the time of work, so the comparison and analysis of information can be carried out around the clock, and the speed of data processing is determined by the processing power of the information systems, on which it operates, and is stably high. In this case, the artificial intelligence is ready to perform the tasks non-stop in real time till receiving the command of the termination of the process. This article proposes a methodology for the artificial intelligence use in the control systems of economic activity, reflects the artificial intelligence concept in the control systems of economic activity, indicates the goals, principles, tasks and its functions when checking an object.

Authors: Orlovska Yuliya , Ilkova Nika
Published: April 2020

It is precisely in the course of adjusting the activities of these subjects, the main task of state regulation of the bankruptcy institute is the formation of such conditions for the functioning of the national economy, which will reduce the risk of doing business for all its entities and promote the internal reorganization of its structure in accordance with the requirements of global transformations. The system of indicators describing the situation in a certain area of ​​the functioning of national economic entities allows us to determine, directly or indirectly, the effectiveness of the bankruptcy institute at the macro-level. To analyze the impact of each of the factors on GDP, a sensitivity analysis was conducted according to which input data X were recorded at the values ​​of 2018 and alternately changed by 10%. For each such change, GDP was calculated as compared to the model value for 2018. As a result of the calculations, the most sensitive factors were identified and features of the functioning of the bankruptcy institute in the Ukrainian economy were identified. The main provisions of a state policy aimed at increasing the functional effectiveness of the bankruptcy institute are formulated. First of all, it is necessary to promote the country's position in the Doing business rankings, as well as the Indexes of Economic Freedom and Corruption Perceptions. On the other hand, an annual growth of the inflation index of around 10% and the level of the fiscal tax burden will also have a positive effect on GDP dynamics.
Usucapião extrajudicial de bens imóveis no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro
Authors: Santos Andressa Aparecida dos , De Lima Júnior Marcos Aurélio
Published: April 2020

A Constituição Federal de 1988 assegura de maneira clara o direito à propriedade, mas, frise-se, não se trata de um direito absoluto, já que o seu exercício se encontra condicionado ao cumprimento da função social. Em razão disso, aquele que não cumpre com a função social da propriedade se sujeita à perda do bem. Isso pode ser visto em razão do proprietário deixar o seu imóvel em abandono e, em virtude disso, a legislação vigente abre a possibilidade para aquele que cuidou do bem adquirir a sua propriedade em virtude da posse prolongada no tempo. Entretanto, o intuito do legislador em estabelecer este direito acaba muitas vezes tornando um obstáculo para a parte interessada, levando-se em consideração que a solução das demandas que são submetidas ao Poder Judiciário vem se mostrando manifestamente morosa. Diante disso, como forma de tornar o procedimento da usucapião mais célere restou possibilitada que a parte se valha da via administrativa como forma de assegurar os seus direitos em relação ao bem imóvel, cujos aspectos são abordados neste artigo.
As razões histórico-culturais que motivaram a criação de uma figura típica específica de proteção a mulher - o feminicídio
Authors: Pavani Gabriela de Oliveira
Published: April 2020

O estudo versa sobre a nova figura típica do direito penal, incluída pela Lei n.º 13.104/2015, que tipificou o homicídio qualificado por razões de gênero, o feminicídio. O estudo sobre o tema objetiva explicar o porquê da necessidade de incluir uma nova figura típica no ordenamento jurídico pátrio quando, na verdade, já se tem o homicídio previsto no artigo 121 do Código Penal e para isso será feito um breve estudo da história brasileira buscando focalizar a posição da mulher na estrutura e organização familiar, como também, demonstrar a luta dessas mulheres para conquistarem seus direitos sociais, educacionais e profissionalizantes, sendo que, diante de todos esses direitos adquiridos, hoje a luta feminina é para salvar e garantir o seu bem jurídico mais precioso, a vida. Para tanto, o trabalho utilizou-se principalmente, de pesquisa bibliográfica, artigos científicos, periódicos e pesquisa jurisprudencial, tudo visando demonstrar que o estereótipo vivenciado pelo feminicídio de subordinação da mulher ao sexo masculino, encontra raízes arcaicas, desde os primórdios do período colonial e que embora, muitos avanços tenham acontecido, o patriarcado ainda é vivenciado por muitas mulheres que sofrem violência doméstica pelo ciúme, consequência do domínio corporal que o chefe de família possuía sobre seus inferiores e do sentimento de inferioridade inaceitável de homens que se veem dependentes de suas companheiras, razões que passaram a ser inaceitáveis pela sociedade contemporânea e para colocar um basta em tamanha atrocidade o feminicídio surgiu para demonstrar esse repúdio social frente a brutalidades cometidas constantemente contra mulheres, simplesmente por serem, mulheres.

A circularidade trágica em Esperando Godot, de Samuel Beckett
Authors: Souza Ayanne Larissa Almeida
Published: April 2020

O presente artigo objetiva investigar o trágico na peça Esperando Godot, do escritor irlandês Samuel Beckett. Através de nossa análise, propomo-nos examinar de que maneira podemos compreender o trágico enquanto uma estrutura de sentir, termo cunhado por Raymond Williams (2002; 2011). O trágico, percebido sob o conceito de Williams, passa a ser visto como uma convenção geracional de características que, em uma determinada época, são consideradas enquanto uma estrutura de sentimento do trágico. Nesse sentido, buscaremos demonstrar que na obra de Beckett encontramos um sentir trágico que se expressa na existência esvaziada de qualquer sentido. Além de Raymond Williams, que alicerça o trabalho sobre o conceito de estrutura de sentimento e do trágico, bem como Terry Eagleton sobre este último, serve-nos também de aporte teórico filósofos contemporâneos a Beckett, como Albert Camus, no que diz respeito ao absurdo existencial.
Gêneros como construções identitárias nas aulas de língua inglesa do ensino médio

Published: April 2020

O presente artigo é um recorte de uma Dissertação de Mestrado e se propõe a analisar uma tirinha produzida por uma estudante de uma turma de ensino médio, que foi resultado de um processo de discussão em sala de aula de língua inglesa acerca de questões relativas aos gêneros como construções identitárias. Seguindo a perspectiva dos estudos bakhtinianos, observaremos a circulação de valores, entendidos como diferenças de gêneros em seus discursos. Para Volochinov (2017), nas interações envolvendo locutores e interlocutores circulam valores sociais e históricos presentes no ambiente onde se encontram esses interlocutores. E esses respondem ativamente a esses valores, concordando ou discordando com eles.  Para tanto, este artigo divide-se em três partes. Na primeira, discutiremos sobre a questão da ideologia de gêneros na contemporaneidade. Na segunda, trataremos do recorte metodológico do trabalho de pesquisa de viés qualitativo. E na terceira e última seção, apresentaremos uma produção de uma estudante sobre a qual refletiremos acerca da questão da ideologia de gêneros com base nos valores trazidos por ela.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Gêneros; Língua Inglesa; Linguística Aplicada.
Aspectos relevantes do silêncio para a construção do sentido em dados de uma idosa moradora de uma instituição de longa permanência

Published: April 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar um recorte da pesquisa desenvolvida com a linguagem de idosos moradores na Instituição de Longa Permanência para Idosos – ILPI, em Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, Brasil. Os dados foram coletados a partir de filmagem e gravação dos idosos em meio a situações enunciativo-discursivas, considerando a história dos sujeitos e seus atravessamentos, bem como a condição de produção desses discursos e o conceito de dado-achado (COUDRY, 1988). Neste artigo, apresentamos a análise de dados referentes ao silêncio que ocorre em sessões com uma das moradoras dessa ILPI.   Para tanto, recorremos ao pensamento sobre o silêncio a partir de diferentes áreas, como: da Música, da Filosofia, da Psicanálise e da Análise do Discurso, enquanto disciplina de entremeio da Linguística, com conceitos relevantes para este trabalho. Apesar de serem áreas distintas, observamos que compartilham para o fato que o silêncio não é o zero, vazio, o que nos leva a interpretâ-lo como sentido. Assim, consideramos, por meio das análises, que o silêncio permeia cada signo e se infla de sentido, e que, quando está só, por si só, significa, possibilitando o sujeito institucionalizado rememorar momentos de dependência, (re)elaborar seus desejos, suas respostas.
Un Maigret caribeño y postmoderno en El caso Neruda, de Roberto Ampuero
Authors: Botoso Altamir , González Gutiérrez Néstor Raúl
Published: April 2020

La narrativa El caso Neruda se configura como una novela histórica, pues en ella se recrea un personaje que tuvo existencia real, el poeta Pablo Neruda. Además de eso, es una novela detectivesca, en la que el detective Cayetano Brulé emprende una investigación para descubrir un misterio del pasado de Neruda. De ese modo, en este artículo, se busca estudiar algunos rasgos de la novela mencionada y también de la construcción de Brulé que permiten que se los ubique en el período de la postmodernidad. Así, tanto la novela cuanto el personaje pueden ser considerados como postmodernos, porque se está delante de una realidad contemporánea, en la que Brulé necesita construirse como detective en un proceso diario, para lograr obtener éxito en una América Latina en crisis, caótica y confusa.

INFLUENCE OF TIME MODES OF THERMAL TREATMENT ON Pt-Si SYSTEM MICROSTRUCTURE
Authors: Saladukha V. A. , Pilipenko V. A. , Komarov F. F. , Gorushko V. A.
Published: April 2020

The paper is purposed to establish the principles of the micro-structural changes of Pt-Si system during the rapid thermal treatment. The Pt films 43.7 nm thick were applied on the substrates of mono-crystal silicon KEF 0.5 with orientation (111) by means of the magnetron platinum target sputtering (purity of 99.95 %) on the unit MPC 603 with the cryogen pumping to the pressure of no less than 5∙10-5 Pa. Argon was used as a working medium, whose purity constituted 99.933 %. Rapid thermal treatment was performed in the mode of the thermal balance with irradiation of the reverse side of the wafer by means of the non-coherent light flow in the nitrogen medium within the temperature range from 200 to 550 °C with a step of 50 °С during 7 s. In parallel, the solid phase synthesis was performed of platinum silicide by means of the standard method with application of the continuous single stage thermal treatment in the analogue medium (T = 550 °C, t = 30 min). Temperature monitoring was performed by means of the thermal couple method with accuracy of ±0.5 °C. The grain size was determined by the translucent electron microscopy method. Thickness of platinum silicide under formation, its surface micro-relief and the separation boundaries with silicon were determined by means of the raster electron microscopy. It is demonstrated, that with the rise of the rapid thermal treatment one can observe growth of the platinum film on silicon. A comparative analysis was conducted of the average size of grains, micro-relief of the PtSi surface and its separation boundary with silicon for two methods of its formation with application of the rapid thermal treatment and with application of the traditional continuous thermal treatment at the temperature of 550 °C during 30 min in the nitrogen atmosphere. By means of the raster electron microscopy method it is demonstrated, that size of the micro-relief on the separation boundary of PtSi-Si does not exceed 15.9 nm and the size of grains is 37.7 nm. This is in 2.5 and 3.1 times smaller, then in the case of the traditional single stage continuous thermal treatment.
LIFO-STACK SIZE DETERMINATION FOR GROWING OF THE IMAGE REGIONS
Authors: Tsviatkou V. Yu.
Published: April 2020

This paper considers the problem of memory allocation for the organization of the LIFO-stack in the algorithm for image segmentation based on growing regions is considered. Segmentation divides the image into regions with identical or similar properties and is the most demanding process for the capacity of RAM. The cultivation of areas begins with the neighborhoods of pre-selected initial growth pixels and uses stacks to store the coordinates of adjacent pixels attached to the cultivated region. Stack loading is maximized when the segment size matches the size of the YX image. In the absence of an expression for the exact determination of the size of the stack, it is possible to guarantee the stable operation of the algorithm for growing regions, eliminating the overflow of the memory allocated for processing if the stack size is assumed equal to YX. However, this approach does not take into account the fact that filling the coordinate stacks is also accompanied by a selection of them, which makesthe stack size always smaller than YX. The article proposes an expression that allows one to increase the accuracy of determining the required size of the LIFO-stack for storing the coordinates of adjacent pixels depending on the image size. The expression takes into account the conditions of the maximum load of the LIFO-stack when: a) the segmentation of the square region with the initial growth pixel in the corner of this region is carried out; b) in the scan window, adjacent pixels are always selected in order with the first selectable pixel located in the corner of the scan window. Using the proposed expression to calculate the required capacity of the LIFO-stack under conditions of its maximum load in the image segmentation algorithm based on growing regions provides a 2-fold reduction in the number of LIFO-stack memory cells.
CALCULATION OF OBJECTS THERMAL IMAGING PARAMETERS FROM UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES
Authors: Katkovsky L. V.
Published: April 2020

This article is aimed at studying the influence of the entire complex parameters on the characteristics of the obtained thermal images when shooting the Earth’s surface from unmanned aerial vehicles. The values of the minimum detectable and minimum resolvable temperature differences are calculated depending on the parameters of the thermal imager, the survey and the size of the object (spatial frequency) for three serial miniature thermal cameras used in aerial surveys of the Earth's surface from unmanned aerial vehicles. Analytical formulas for estimating the minimum resolvable temperature difference are obtained on the basis of a mathematical model of the thermal imager as a linear system of individual components based on the technique that differs from the generally accepted one. Estimates were made for two cases: observation of a thermal image by an operator on a display screen and for the case when an electronic image is analyzed by a threshold algorithm with no operator engaged. For the first time, the influence of the carrier velocity on the overall modulation transfer function of the system and, accordingly, the temperature and spatial resolution of thermal imagers was taken into account. The main components that must be considered when calculating the full modulation transfer function of the system are: a thermal imager lens, a radiation detector, carrier movement and the observer's visual system. Moreover, the parameters of the detector and the speed of the carrier have the greatest influence on the temperatures resolvable by the system.
THE METOD OF SYNTHESIS OF QUASI-DUAL-BAND MATCHING DEVICE
Authors: Yantsevich M. A. , Filipovich H. A.
Published: April 2020

The article presents some findings on the potential of analytical methods for the synthesis of broadband matching circuits for solving nontrivial circuit engeneering problems. Nontriviality shows itself in the technique for the assignment of the frequency response model (approximation) for the broadband synthesis in cellular communication, when double-band antennas are essential. The frequency response model appears as the result of frequency transformation, which yields in the assignment of both bands at the very first stage of the synthesis. The bands’width and isolation between them may be controlled independently, which is the essential part of the frequency transformation. Such way offrequency response assignment allows the potential of the method, which is always restricted by a load, to find broader application. In these conditions the frequency response turns to a quasi-double and asymmetrical one due to finite isolation between bands. We also present the general approach to the synthesis, which incorporates both the frequency transformation and novel synthesis technique. The modified frequency transformation can be applied to all types oftraditional approximations of arbitrary orders in synthesizing broadband frequency-selective matching devices. The distinctive feature of this technique is in the use of generalized Darlington’s synthesis for solving the problems of broadband matching of resistances in a lumped element basis with the application of frequency reponses obtained through modified frequency transformation. We have also estimated the efficiency of the developed technique by comparison with the known results.
METHOD OF IMAGE PROCESSING IN THE PROBLEM OF DETECTING MOVING OBJECTS IN OPTICAL-ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS OF THERMAL IMAGING TYPE
Authors: Mikhnionok E. I.
Published: April 2020

The article considers the method of image processing proposed by the author in relation to the problem of automatic detection of moving objects in optoelectronic thermal imaging systems. Moving objects on the observed scene are subject to investigation, so it is advisable to use algorithms based on background subtraction methods to solve the detection problem. However, the observed objects may include objects of interest (a person, a vehicle), as well as other objects and background elements that increase the noise component of the observed situation. Also, the increase in the noise component is greatly influenced by false segmentation in the foreground of the areas of processed images when transferring the field of view of the sensor of the optical-electronic surveillance system. The purpose of this article is to prove the reduction of the probability of false alarm of an automatic detector due to the author's proposed approaches to image processing. The research uses the mathematical apparatus of probability theory and simulation with subsequent statistical processing of data. The article shows that the probability of a false alarm of an automatic detector based on the background subtraction method increases significantly after the transfer of the field of view of the sensor of the optical-electronic surveillance system and decreases after the movement stops as the areas of the processed image that are falsely highlighted in the foreground are automatically segmented. The simulation showed that the approaches proposed by the author can increase the peak signal-to-noise ratio of processed images and reduce the probability of a false alarm of the automatic detector of objects of interest. The results obtained show the feasibility of adapting detection algorithms based on background subtraction methods to work in scanning optoelectronic surveillance systems.

El objetivo de la investigación es comparar el algoritmo Backpropagation desarrollado por el usuario bajo software libre Java y el algoritmo Multiple Linear Regression, dicha comparación demanda del análisis estadístico decriptivo basado en redes neuronales artificiales. Se utilizó específicamente dos modelos de algoritmos de predicción aplicados a 451 patrones o registros a procesar que están repartidos en las primeras 401 filas para entrenamiento de la red neuronal y los otros 50 registros para validación y prueba, conformado por  4 variables de entrada (Height above sea level, Fall, Net fall, Flux) y 1 variable a predecir (Power turbine), para las diferentes pruebas los parámetros de entrenamiento y selección con los mejores resultados son: Architecture of the neural network, Type of scaling of data, Initial range of weight and thresholds, Learning rate and Momentum, Batched / online, Number of training epochs. Entre los resultados de comparación de los algoritmos analizados se determinó que el error en mayor iteracciones es menor que son respuestas de los 50 patrones de prueba. En el algoritmo Multiple Linear Regression  la variable real es el valor de la variable a predecir, esta variable es la suministrada a predecir por el usuario y es el valor que se predijo de la red neuronal, la variable prediction es la diferencia que se hace de la resta de los anteriores errores y se lo realiza para calcular el error y el total error es el valor mínimo a obtener que representa el error calculado de todos los datos, es decir el porcentaje de error de la red neuronal de back-propagation. Entre más bajo es este porcentaje mejor será la red, porque menor será su porcentaje de error.

As verrugas plantares são diagnosticadas com certa frequência nos consultórios podológicos, o que ressalta a relevância do conhecimento aprofundado deste tipo de patologia por parte do podólogo. Este trabalho visa avaliar o efeito da Terapia Fotodinâmica (TFD) em lesões verrucosas que acometem a região plantar mensurando a involução das lesões dos voluntários. Tendo-se conhecimento que uma das técnicas para evidenciar verruga nas mucosas é o emprego do Ácido Acético, coube verificar se esse procedimento poderia influenciar, também, na involução das lesões cutâneas, associando este agente ao Azul de Metileno 1%. O estudo foi realizado no Laboratório de Podologia da Faculdade de Ciências e Saúde da Universidade Anhembi Morumbi na cidade de São Paulo, durante o 2º semestre de 2011, com participação de nove voluntários, submetidos a uma aplicação semanal da terapia em questão, durante um período máximo de 10 semanas.

Dengan menggunakan data susenas tahun 2004, 2009, 2014, dan 2017, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghitung besarnya ukuran kemiskinan agregat dan sektoral selama periode kebijakan pembangunan pada tiga masa pemerintahan Indonesia tahun 2004-2017, serta mengidentifikasi sektor apa saja yang berkontribusi terhadap perubahan kemiskinan agregat di Indonesia. Analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis dekomposisi kemiskinan sektoral. Hasil analisis diperoleh bahwa pada ketiga periode kebijakan terjadi penurunan kemiskinan agregat (P0), sedangkan kedalaman kemiskinan (P1) dan keparahan kemiskinan (P2) penurunan hanya terjadi pada masa kebijakan RPJMN-I dan II akan tetapi pada masa kebijakan RPJMN-III mengalami peningkatan. Pada masa kebijakan RPJMN-I kemiskinan P0 menurun 2.53 dari 16.68 menjadi 14.15, P1 menurun 0.57 dari 3.06 menjadi 2.49, dan P2 menurun 0.23 dari 0.90 menjadi 0.67, pada masa kebijakan RPJMN-II kemiskinan P0 menurun 2.9 dari 14.15 menjadi 11.25, P1 menurun 0.74 dari 2.49 menjadi 1.75, dan P2 menurun 0.23 dari 0.67 menjadi 0.44. Penyebab terjadinya penurunan kemiskinan agregat P0, P1, dan P2 secara dominan pada RPJMN-I dan RPJMN-II diakibatkan oleh pengaruh intra-sektoral dan antar-sektoral, pada RPJMN-III penurunan kemiskinan agregat P0 diakibatkan oleh pengaruh intra-sektoral dan inter-sektoral sedangkan peningkatan P1 dan P2 diakibatkan oleh pengaruh interaksi. Pengentasan kemiskinan pada masa kebijakan RPJMN-I, RPJMN-II dan RPJMN-III penurunan tingkat kemiskinan agregatnya secara signifikan dikontribusi oleh empat sektor lapangan pekerjaan utama yaitu pada RPJMN-I oleh sektor pertanian informal, perdagangan formal/informal, transportasi formal/informal, dan konstruksi formal/informal, pada RPJMN-II oleh sektor pertanian formal, perdagangan formal, transportasi formal/informal, dan keuangan informal, dan pada RPJMN-III oleh sektor pertanian informal, perdagangan formal, transportasi formal/informal, dan keuangan formal/informal.

Background. Personal degrees of motor activity frequently is a determining factor of human health and longevity. A sedentary lifestyle is a precondition for the development of many diseases and adversely affect the harmonious physical development of a person. The result of poor physical fitness is reduced movement coordination and the balance function, which can cause falls and injuries. Today, it is not always possible for healthy people of working age and adolescents to organize physical education events, however, modern rehabilitation technologies can serve as a solution to this issue.

Aims analysis of the effectiveness of balance training physical exercises performed in a virtual environment, in people with low physical fitness.

Methods. In the experimental group, a set of physical exercises were performed in a virtual environment, in the control group in a real environment with additionally created pedagogical conditions aimed at the position of greater instability using gymnastic pads of different stiffness, and foam material bar.

Results. The study involved 20 female volunteers (aged 16 to 17 years), who were divided into two equal groups, comparable in age (р 0.05). A statistical analysis of the data obtained at the end of the training course showed that experimental and control groups in the maximum torso deviation in the Romberg instrumental test (p = 0.11) when standing on toes with eyes closed (p = 0.24), and the stability time in the Bondarevsky test (p = 0.07) are no longer significantly different.

Conclusions. Performing physical exercises with visual support for biological feedback in a virtual reality system can contribute to the intensification of the learning process, have a beneficial effect on the prevention of a sedentary lifestyle, and also contribute to the training of the balance function, as one of the most important human abilities that determine its motor capabilities.
