Methodical approaches to teaching chemistry under conditions of limited amount of teaching hours for students with different learning abilities that are studying at the preparatory department for Ukrainian citizens of Bukovinian medical university are considered in this article. Based on the results of mental activity diagnosis for each group of teenagers methodical techniques for working with students were developed. It is proposed to use explanatory, illustrative training with problematic elements while teaching basic, principal topics, and for the sections that are a logical conclusion of basic topics to use the method of proactive knowledge for the groups of students with creative and constructive mindset. Systematization and structuring of studied material should be conducted through usage of graph-logic schemes and tables. It is advisable to practice skills in all groups of students regardless of their level of knowledge wherein for the groups with creative and constructive mindset tasks modeled from real situations and problems of increased complexity should be solved. Extracurricular independent work should be organized with different learning abilities of students taken in mind by developing tasks that are differentiated by their difficulty rate.
The Belarusian Orthodox Church and Its Role in the Belarusian Regime
Authors:   University of West Bohemia, Avanesova Maria
Published: December 2021

This text, conceived as an interpretative case study, deals with the role that the Belarusian Orthodox Church plays in the contemporary Belarusian regime. In light of the fact that the Belarusian Orthodox Church is an exarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church, the author will also look at whether the Belarusian Orthodox Church can actually be considered an instrument of Russia in Belarus. Within the research, the author will show that on the one hand, there are favorable conditions for the development of the Belarusian Orthodox Church. But on the other hand, although the state declares the de facto independence of the Belarusian Orthodox Church, any opposition activity on its part is seen as a threat to the state, which allows the state to interfere with its policy. This leads church organizations in such systems to become significantly weakened within this “cooperation with the state”, even though they have an influence on society and thus a legitimizing potential. As a result, the church is strongly dependent on the state and limited as an actor in civil society within the Belarusian regime. In addition, the author will also conclude in the study that it is difficult to consider the Belarusian Orthodox Church to be a tool of the Kremlin’s influence.
Relevant Independent Variables on MOBA Video Games to Train Machine Learning Algorithms
Authors: López Guzmán Juan Guillermo , Bustacara Medina Cesar Julio
Published: December 2021

Popularity of Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) video games has grown considerably, its popularity as well as the complexity of their playability, have attracted the attention in recent years of researchers from various areas of knowledge and in particular how they have resorted to different machine learning techniques. The papers reviewed mainly look for patterns in multidimensional data sets. Furthermore, these previous researches do not present a way to select the independent variables (predictors) to train the models. For this reason, this paper proposes a list of variables based on the techniques used and the objectives of the research. It allows to provide a set of variables to find patterns applied in MOBA videogames. In order to get the mentioned list, the consulted works were grouped by the used machine learning techniques, ranging from rule-based systems to complex neural network architectures. Also, a grouping technique is applied based on the objective of each research proposed.
About the Application of Autoencoders For Visual Defect Detection
Authors: Rádli Richárd , Czúni László
Published: December 2021

Visual defect detection is a key technology in modern industrial manufacturing systems. There are many possible appearances of product defects, including distortions in color, shape, contamination, missing or superfluous parts. For the detection of those, besides traditional image processing techniques, convolutional neural networks based methods have also appeared to avoid the usage of hand-crafted features and to build more efficient detection mechanisms. In our article we deal with autoencoder convolutional networks (AEs) which do not require examples of defects for training. Unfortunately, the manual and/or trial-and-error design of AEs is still required to achieve good performance, since there are many unknown parameters of AEs which can greatly influence the detection abilities. For our study we have chosen a well performing AE known as structural similarity AE (SSIM-AE), where the loss function and the comparison of the output with the input is implemented via the SSIM instead of the often used L1 or L2 norms. Investigating the performance of SSIM-AE on different data-sets, we found that its performance can be improved with modified convolutional structures without modifying the size of latent space. We also show that finding a model with low reconstruction error during training does not mean good detection abilities and denoising AEs can increase efficiency.

Authors: Nikitina Vira
Published: December 2021

The article deals with basing of the necessity of social work with internally displaced persons (IDPs) in modern Ukraine, as not all of the problems of these people that have arisen as a result of forced resettlement have been resolved. The problem is in difference of the life trajectories of IDPs: some of migrants are in higher levels of income in the social hierarchy than residents of host communities, while others still live in collective housing in need of humanitarian assistance. Social differentiation within IDPs raises debates about the need to maintain common approaches to their social protection and social work with them. The purpose of this article is to prove the presence of signs of vulnerability in internally displaced persons, which necessitates the provision of social support by specialists working in the field of social work. To achieve this goal, the method of theoretical generalization and the method of deduction were used. The results of the study are the identification of such features of the social position of IDPs in Ukraine and features of their socio-psychological state, which evidence the presence of indicators of vulnerability, and therefore are the reason of social work with them in different areas. The presence of dual vulnerabilities in IDPs (the status of an orphan or a child deprived of parental care, a child or a person with a disability, a member of a family with many children, etc.) increases the need for social support from social services professionals.

The purpose of the study is to reveal the theoretical aspects of digitalization of professional training of future specialists. Research methods applied: theoretical: analysis, systematization and generalization of pedagogical and psychological research. The professional responsibilities of teachers in the spread of digital technologies are expressed not only in the willingness to use them in the educational process, but also in the manifestation of competencies such as willingness to cooperate in the professional field, communication skills and the desire for continuous development in the digital environment. Digital resources include the ability of teachers to make their competent choice, creation and modification, as well as their exchange in accordance with the objectives of learning. Teaching involves the teacherʼs ability to create, plan and implement digital technologies at different stages of learning, it is important that the center of the educational process was directly the student, and the teacher himself acted mainly as a tutor. Student assessment involves the use of digital tools to implement existing methods of student assessment and provide them with feedback and analysis of their activity in the digital environment. Expanding the rights, opportunities and independence of students in the educational process involves the use of digital technologies by teachers to build an individual trajectory of students, as well as eliminating differentiation in studentsʼ access to appropriate technical devices.

Although research has been shown to expedite the professional growth and development of prospective specialists, less is known about the effective world practices in undergraduate and graduate research that could be applied in Ukrainian language teacher education. The present article explores the characteristics of student resear ch in US foreign language teacher education. The study focused on the analysis of academic literature, normative resources and the practical experience of language teacher preparation with the aim of extrapolating good practices into the Ukrainian system of language teacher education. It was shown that student research integrates didactic approaches with elements of creative activity, individual research projects, culminating projects, the study of specialised disciplines, individual and group scientific inquiry, not included in the curricula of educational programmes. The organisational forms of the latter are research symposia, seminars, workshops, conferences, preparation of scientific publications and some others. Among the central tasks of undergraduate and graduate research is the preparation of highly qualified, autonomous specialists, who are capable of accumulating and generating scientific knowledge, skillful application of professional knowledge in approaching the task of teaching; familiarising students with the methodology for organising and conducting research in the field of foreign language education; increasing motivation for scientific inquiry and professional development, intensification of learning; promotion of critical and reflective thinking, professional self-identification and self-realisation; stimulating the need for continuous self-development; implementation of individualisation and differentiation principles in language teacher education; replenishment of the cohort of scientific and pedagogical staff. The research competence is developed through diverse didactic forms and approaches; it is characterised mainly by electiveness at the undergraduate level and is a mandatory component of the graduate programmes’ curricula in foreign language teacher education.

Tax non-compliance leads to tax evasion and low tax collection, which ultimately may hamper the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Prior studies suggest that tax compliance is influenced by taxpayers’ attitude, quality of public governance and cost of tax compliance. However, studies that focus on tax compliance among health practitioners are still sparse. Given that potential tax evasion among private health practitioners may lead to a significant loss in government revenue, this study aimed to examine the factors influencing tax compliance among private health practitioners. Data was gathered through a survey involving 271 health practitioners in Malaysia. The findings indicated that only the quality of public governance had a significant relationship with tax compliance while attitude of taxpayers and cost of tax compliance did not significantly influence tax compliance among private health practitioners. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by providing current evidence of tax compliance among health practitioners. By highlighting the importance of educating health practitioners on tax compliance, the study also provides guidance to regulators in planning for more effective tax education and awareness programs. Keywords: tax compliance, attitude of taxpayer, quality of public governance, tax compliance cost, health practitioners

Authors: Abramovici Gabriel
Published: December 2021

La perspectiva de transformación social implica incertidumbre en cuanto a los cambios que se producirán. Las intervenciones de musicoterapia en el área ecológica pueden tener el foco en los usuarios o en el ambiente. La ampliﬁcación como herramienta metodológica permite poner el foco en el ambiente. Se deﬁne ampliﬁcación como el proceso de presentación a la comunidad de las producciones realizadas en un dispositivo de taller. Sus antecedentes son las performances feministas de la década de 1970, las performances en musicoterapia comunitaria y el campo artístico-cultural de la reforma psiquiátrica brasilera. Su dimensión estética está relacionada con la valoración comunitaria y el protagonismo de la población participante. Su dimensión ética se sustenta en el consentimiento informado y en el cuidado ante las experiencias de presentación. La ampliﬁcación también puede ser utilizada como herramienta de investigación, para contrastar de forma empírica la potencia transformadora de una intervención comunitaria.

La actual pandemia de la COVID-19 ha supuesto un marcado incremento de las brechas sociales preexistentes. En esta investigación analizamos las relaciones de diferentes facetas de clase social con el bienestar y afectividad general a lo largo de un total de 8 países de la región cultural iberoamericana. Asimismo, también pusimos a prueba el potencial rol mediador del riesgo percibido relativo a la COVID-19 y la eficacia colectiva percibida. Los resultados obtenidos (a) revelaron que una clase social más baja se relacionó con un menor bienestar y afecto positivo, y un mayor afecto negativo; (b) confirmaron que la clase social subjetiva constituye un mejor predictor del bienestar y afectividad general que la clase social objetiva (i.e., nivel educativo); y (c) mostraron que los efectos de la clase social subjetiva en el bienestar/afectividad general se daban de forma indirecta a través del riesgo percibido y la eficacia colectiva. Estos hallazgos confirman la existencia de diferencias en bienestar y afectividad general en función de la clase social durante la pandemia, al tiempo que permiten avanzar en la comprensión de los mecanismos psicosociales subyacentes.

La consolidación de la figura del diseñador industrial en Estados Unidos durante las décadas centrales del siglo XX está íntimamente ligada a la aparición de grandes marcas y a la identidad de éstas. Los diseñadores americanos se especializaron dando forma a una nueva profesión, pusieron en marcha una inteligencia compartida y multidisciplinar y, quizás sin saberlo, fueron pioneros en desdibujar los límites entre las disciplinas creativas y en convertirlas en una parte importante de las empresas. Se trata de un valioso modelo de transformación y adaptabilidad del que se pueden extraer conclusiones y paralelismos con la época actual. El presente texto se centra en la figura del diseñador Walter Dorwin Teague, quien guiado por la intuición de la belleza influyó en la industria estadounidense a partir de la década de 1920, dotándola de una identidad necesaria para su perpetuación a lo largo del tiempo. Se exponen algunos de sus trabajos más influyentes con la finalidad de poder valorar el impacto que este profesional causó mientras estuvo activo y tomar conciencia del legado tan rico que dejó para la posteridad.

En este trabajo se presenta un análisis de las características más relevantes de un potencial desertor universitario, mediante la aplicación de algoritmos de minería de datos educativa. Se utilizó un conjunto de datos de 10 635 instancias, adquiridas en el período 2014-2019, de 53 programas de licenciatura de una institución privada del estado de Puebla (México). Los resultados muestran que el modelo obtenido por los árboles de decisión ofrece mayor desempeño que otros algoritmos, así como una fácil interpretación de éste mediante reglas de decisión. Además, el rendimiento del modelo es mejor que otros modelos relacionados en la literatura aplicados al mismo problema. Los métodos de selección de características permitieron encontrar los atributos más importantes que identifican a un potencial desertor, tales como: el período, el último semestre cursado, créditos cursados, asistencia, materias reprobadas y programa. Utilizando los atributos y reglas de decisión encontradas se podrían crear mecanismos que favorezcan la prevención de la deserción.

Mathematics is a prerequisite for the development of blockchain technology. The deeply penetrated mathematical ideas support the establishment of the trust mechanism of the whole blockchain system, which makes the blockchain technology autonomous, decentralised, not so easy to tamper, open, anonymous and also possesses other characteristics. Due to these characteristics, the introduction of blockchain will greatly solve a series of problems faced by the quality and acquisition of big data in cities, and release more data vitality. Based on the perspective of chain blocks and big data fusion, this paper puts forward that data are the foundation of modern urban governance. Data management has become the key to modern urban governance. It puts forward that the building of a big data management system based on blockchain will strengthen the construction of the intelligent city and modernisation of urban governance capabilities.

The present study tries to assess the nutritional status and dietary behaviours in a group of undergraduate students in order to characterize their food habits and assess the quality of their diet. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 220 undergraduate university students (110 male and 110 female) aged between 19 and 24 years from the Food Department of Saad Dahlab Blida 1 University (Algeria). The data collection and nutritional evaluation were carried out using DIAL nutritional software. Male participants had significantly (P < 0.005) higher body mass index (BMI) when compared to females. Significantly higher percentages of female students (P < 0.005) had tried a low-fat diet (P = 0.0075) and a low-carbohydrate diet (P < 0.005). The prevalence of overweight was higher among males compared to females. In contrast, a greater percentage of underweight students were observed in the group of female subjects. Related to micronutrient intake, a significant difference by sex was observed for vitamin A, C, folic acid, iron, calcium, and sodium intakes. However, females consumed more food containing vitamins C and A, whereas males’ intake of calcium, sodium, folic acid, and iron was higher than the corresponding values observed in females. To conclude, these students reported a diet characterized by a high variety of cereal products and a moderate amount of vegetables, milk and dairy products, meat, fish and eggs, dietary fats and beverages, whereas the consumption of fruits was highly infrequent.
The role of r esistant starch in human nutrition

In this paper, we examine the role and effect of resistant starch (RS) in human nutrition; further, the structure and properties of RS, the food sources based on resistance to digestion in the colon, and the physiological effects of RS are described. The nutritional value of RS, the effect of RS on short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, the relationships between RS and colon function, and the relationships between food starch, dietary fibre, and RS content and colon cancer development are reviewed. It has been shown that the use of RS in foods may have some benefits. Resistant starch, digestion of resistant-starch-containing foods have a number of health benefits for colon function but appear to have less effect on lipid-glucose metabolism. It has a positive effect on colon bacterial activity, promotes the growth of beneficial microbes, and reduces the activity of enzymes that are harmful to the digestive system. Under the influence of RS, increased SCFA production lowers the pH of the colon and stimulates bile acid secretion. The decreased pH protects against colon cancer and inhibits the conversion of primary and secondary bile acids, which are cytotoxic to intestinal cells. At the end of the review article, the relationships between RS and the colon microflora, its use as a prebiotic, and the relationship between RS and glucose metabolism are analysed. It was found that the use of RS in the diet might have benefits as it shortens the time it takes food to pass through the colon and increases the amount of stool. It was also found that the physicochemical properties of foods can directly affect the amount of RS and thereby the blood glucose levels and insulin response.
