Authors: Vyshkivska Vanda , Sylenko Yuliia , Shykyrynska Oleksandra , Myroshnychenko Viktoriia , Shevchenko Viktoria , Kozlov Yevhen
Published: May 2024

The new information type of society has qualitatively changed the concept of training future specialists. Currently, technocratic relations in the "teacher-student" system are being replaced by humanistic ones, with a transition to cooperation with students as active subjects of the individualized educational process.
The authors of the article, taking into account the European experience of individualizing education, analyzed the peculiarities of using tutoring technology as a means of individualizing the education of master's students in the conditions of mixed education.
The results of the ascertaining stage of the pedagogical experiment, the participants of which were teachers and master's students of Dragomanov Ukrainian State University (Kyiv), National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” (Kharkiv), Vinnytsia Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi State Pedagogical University (Vinnytsia), are presented.
The purpose of the confirmatory experiment was to identify the level of understanding of university teachers, as well as master's students – future teachers of the essence of tutoring technology and the presence of experience in using it in professional activities.
The article proves that the use of tutoring technology in conditions of mixed learning allows students of higher education to gain experience in independent planning, obtaining and improving educational results. It is substantiated that the acquisition of such experience takes place during the work of tutors (with systematic tutoring support) on individual tutorials, which contain multi-level complex tasks from a certain educational subject. The role and place of the scientific essay as a component of tutoring technology and as a means of individualizing the educational process, which ensures the development of independent creative thinking of students, the formation of their ability to structure information, skillful presentation of arguments, establish cause-and-effect relationships, and formulate conclusions, is characterized.
Spatial distribution of parameters of auditory cognitive evoked potentials P300 in young adults with myopia
Authors: Zelentsov R. N. , Poskotinova L. V. , Kozhevnikova I. S.
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND: Myopia typically presents itself between the ages of 18 and 29, affecting both women (35%) and men (59.9%). The prevalence of impaired accommodation and refraction in modern individuals can be attributed to the increased strain on visual sensory systems resulting from the widespread digitalization of various aspects of human life. This increased strain poses a potential risk for alterations in cortical processes related to perception and information processing, increasing the risk of cognitive impairment. AIMS: To study the differences in the characteristics of evoked potentials P300 in 21–23 years old individuals with myopia compared to those without ophthalmic pathology. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An ophthalmological examination was conducted on a group of young individuals aged 21–23 years (average age 22.3±0.1 years) residing in the city of Arkhangelsk. The participants were university students, totaling 54 individuals of both genders (34 females and 20 males). During the examination, uncorrected visual acuity, best-corrected visual acuity, and clinical refraction value (in diopters) were assessed for each participant, along with qualitative changes. Additionally, the reserve of relative accommodation (in diopters) was estimated based on the results of the accommodation study. The study sample consisted of 32 participants without ophthalmic pathology and 22 individuals diagnosed with myopia. The parameters of cognitive evoked auditory potential P300 were measured using an electroencephalograph «NeuronSpectrum- 4/VPM» (Neurosoft, Russia) in both groups. The data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical software package. RESULTS: Students with myopia had longer decision-making times compared to individuals with normal vision, as indicated by auditory evoked potentials P300. This effect was observed in the temporal, mid-frontal, and left frontal regions of the brain. Additionally, the anterior-occipital gradient of P300 amplitude was attenuated, with a high amplitude P300 in the left occipital region. CONCLUSION: Assessment of myopia should be complemented with an examination of the functional status of the cerebral cortex. Extended auditory processing time, activation of both hemispheres and involvement of the occipital regions during the processing of auditory information may be a result of functional reorganization of the cerebral cortex in individuals with myopia.
Age-related anthropometric changes in physical development among aboriginal schoolchildren in Russia’s North-East
Authors: Loskutova Alesya N.
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND: Schoolchildren from an educational institution of Severo-Evensk District Magadan Region, participated in an anthropometric survey.
AIM: To assess anthropometric characteristics of indigenous schoolchildren in the Magadan Region across different age-groups.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Two hundred and eight boys and one hundred and ninety girls from the Evens, Koryaks and Itelmen ethnic groups participated in the 2021–2023 Anthropometric Survey. They accounted for 67.2% of all schoolchildren surveyed. Body height (BH), body mass (BM), chest circumference (CC), sitting height (HSit), right- and left-hand grip strength were measured. We also calculated annual increase in weight and height, as well as proportionality of physical development of the children.
RESULTS: A natural increase in the absolute body indicators of BH, BM, HSit, CC, and right and left hand strength have been observed parallel to increase in age from 8 to 17 years. The rate of annual growth indicated different timing of the periods of accelerated increase in the anthropometric characteristics. Girls exhibited a CC maximum increase at 10–11 years old with simultaneous increase in BH, BM, HSit, and hand grip strength at 11–12 years old. During the same age-periods, boys showed a pronounced BH growth with BM and CC increase at 12–13 years of age. After a slight attenuation in the growth rate, we observed a substantial increase in BH at the age of 14–15, associated with gender-related aspects in older children groups. Sex-related characteristics of BH increase were primarily associated with differences in the leg growth rates during the puberty, and tend to be greater in boys. Most of the studied boys had an asthenic somatotype. At the same time, most girls had a proportional body type with high percentage of those with relatively short legs.
CONCLUSION: We observed that girls were ahead of boys in their physical development. Boys demonstrated a continuous development in their main anthropometric characteristics with more pronounced dynamics in adolescence. Our findings suggest that indigenous schoolgirls have better physical development and adaptive adjustments compared to boys.

Authors:   Russian State Vocational Pedagogical University, Kaigorodova A. E.
Published: May 2024

The study of problems of personalised education is becoming particularly important. Modern psychological and pedagogical practice requires scientific substantiation, empirical verification and development of the content of such a category as personification. The study considers orientation as a component of personification. An empirical study on the study of orientation as a component of a personalised subject of activity was conducted on the basis of the Federal State Educational Institution of Higher Education “Russian State Vocational Pedagogical University” in Ekaterinburg. The following psychodiagnostics methods were used to study such components of orientation as motivation, value orientations and self-determination of students. Understanding the orientation structure allows for a more accurate and in-depth study of students' preferences, interests and needs, which in turn helps to create individual educational plans that will meet the specific needs of each student. The conducted empirical research confirms that there are significant relationships between the components of orientation as part of personification, which are important to take into account in the process of self-actualisation and self-realisation of students.

Liver health is very important for the human body. The liver as an organ that has the main task of neutralizing toxins in the body makes toxins that have been entering through our bodies from food or the environment can be neutralized by the liver. Based on the results of interviews conducted online to dr. Felix who works at Bhayangkara Hospital, one of the problems that occurs in the medical world is that people who are not medically trained if they experience symptoms of liver disease do not understand the ways to overcome them or the solution. If ignored, liver problems can get worse and more difficult to treat. Therefore, to overcome these problems, development is carried out by creating an expert system that can detect liver disease early by implementing the Naïve Bayes Method on the expert system. The expert system was built using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) development method. By making a design consisting of use cases, activities, class diagrams, database design and user interface design. Implementation in this expert system uses the PHP programming language and MySQL database. After the system is successfully created, the system is tested using the blackbox testing method which shows that the functionality of the expert system is running well and testing the user acceptance test (UAT) by distributing questionnaires to respondents to get the percentage of feasibility of 76.7% with a suitable category for use

Observations on Phytogeography and Endemism in Clematis Dill. Ex Linn. (Ranunculaceae), with Special Reference to Indian Taxa
Authors: Kapoor S. L.
Published: May 2024

Clematis Dillex Linn. (Ranunculaceae) with 300-450 species, is essentially temperate but also found in elevated parts of the tropics. It is regarded to have originated around the eastern end of the Himalayas, and thence migrated to other parts of the world The largest concentration is in South China (with 76% endemism) The distribution pattern in the world indicates a high degree of endemism in areas that are isolated or are distantly situated from the region of largest concentration. Thus in North America it is 91%. West Indies, 85%. New Zealand and neighbouring islands, 88%, Malagasy. 90%. West Africa. 75%. and so on. In Indian subcontinent the endemism is only 30%. the low figure is explained because of its contiguity and proximity with South China.In India proper occur 33 species (42 taxa including subspp and vars), of these 5 are endemic. Several Indian species are closely related to taxa occurring in neighbouring countries which when studied together might need merging or reduction in taxonomic status for want of clear-cut discontinuities. The distribution of interesting Indian species has been mapped.

Observations on the Distribution and Effect of Salinity on a Little Known Plant, Mimulus orbicularis Wall. Ex Benth. (Scrophulariaceae)
Authors: Banerjee L. K. , Maity G. G.
Published: May 2024

Mimulus orbicularis Wall, ex Benth., occasionally found in brackish water lakes, ditches, slacks and often in abandoned ricefields near estuaries and the coastal belt of Eastern India, is a rare aquatic plant. Very often the plants have been found to disappear from the habitat due to some ecological or anthropogenic factors. It is observed that the plant has very little potential for modulating its life cycle strategies in the same habitat. Though populations were recorded in three different localities in India, survival of this species in a parmanent habitat is still a question due to its 'nomadic distribution'. On account of this population behaviour, the collection of this species by many workers in the past has been inadequate. Occurrence of this plant in new localities, extent of distribution and some changes in the morphological characteristics with the change of water salinity and some chemical components of water are discussed in this paper.

Life-Forms and Bioloigical Spectrum of the Flora of the Punjab State, India
Authors: Sharma M. , Rajpal Kusum
Published: May 2024

1, 119 species of spermatophytes recorded from the Punjab State have been analysed as to their exact life-forms. These include 243 (21.7%) phanerophytes, 49 (4.4%) chamaephytes, 83 (7.4%) hemicryptophytes, 215 (19.2%) cryptophytes and 529 (47.3%) therophytes. Similar analyses have also been made for the two floristic subunits of the Punjab State, namely semi-arid Punjab and Punjab Shivaliks. These have been compared with Raunkiaer's normal and other spectra of contiguous and comparable areas. The phytoclimate of the State and its floristic sub-units have been found to be therocryptophytic which is characteristic of semi-arid and intensively cultivated areas. The results support Raunkiaer's concept of correlation between the phytoclimate and statistical distribution of life-forms in the flora of a region.

Diversity in Indian Hornworts (Bryophyta) a State of the Art Report
Authors: Singh D. K.
Published: May 2024

The homworts, comprising a small, phylogenetically significant group of plants, are represented in India by 5 genera, viz. Anthoceros L. emend. Prosk., Folioceros Bharad. (Anthocerotaceae); Notothylas Sull. (Notothylaceae); Megaceros Campb. and Phaeoceros Prosk. (Phaeocerotaceae), 35 species and 2 subspecies. Anthocerotaceae and Phaeocerotaceae show greater manifestation in the Himalayas, whereas the Western ghats abound in maximum members of Notothylaceae. Fifty eight percent (or 21 species) of the total Indian homworts are endemic, of which only Anthoceros bharadwajii Udar et Asthana, A. erectux Kash. and Notothylas himalayensis Udar et Singh have an extended range of distribution in more than one bryogeographical territories. The high incidence of primitive Notothylas taxa coupled with the highest endemism encountered in the Western ghats makes this region Cradle ot the genus. The other phytogeographical elements discernible amongst Indian homworts are : Cosmopolitan (4), Disjuncts (4) and Eastern Asiatics (7). The rich and phytogeographically unique homwort flora of its own, notwithstanding, about 28% of the Indian anthocerotes could never be located again since their original collection. Certain biotic influences, on the other hand, are threatening a tew other species of their survival. The paper epitomizes the causes of threats and rarity of such taxa and discusses the strategies to salvage the situation.

The Calcutta Herbarium : an Introspection
Authors: Deb D. B.
Published: May 2024

The Calcutta Herbarium (CAL) was initiated by William Roxburgh in 1793 with his own specimens of the Coromandel-Coast. His studies drew attention of the world Scientists to tropical flora. Nathaniel Wallich involved the world authorities in determining the specimens accumulated in CAL and those stored in the India Museum, London. He was uncharitably blamed for destroying the herbarium. He wished the most complete set to be sent to Calcutta. But it was ultimately sent to Kew, know as K-W. Nine botanists who worked in India collaborated in writing out 80 families in Hooker's Flora of British India. Sir George King managed to get the garden transferred from the Imperial to the Provincial Government charge. Soon he was disillusioned. He managed some contingency funds from the Imperial Government in 1890 in the name of Botanical Survey of India. No post or office was created. Botanical Survey of India was reorganized in 1954. The topmost priority of working out the flora of India has never been given due attention. State and District Floras were given untimely priority. 50% of 220 Scientific personnel in B.S. I. if properly deployed could write the Flora of India in twelve years to be followed up with compilation therefrom of all the State and District Floras. The remaining 50% the scientific staff could be fruitfully utilized for other important branches of study like economic botany, ecology, cytotaxonomy etc., all aiming at the welfare of man.

Biological Spectrum of the Flora of Buxar District, Bihar
Authors: Singh D. K. , Siddiqui M. O.
Published: May 2024

Buxar forms a district of Patna division in the Ganga Valley and is under intense cultivation and irrigation by an efficient sone canal system. In the present paper life-forms of 540 angiospermic species have been studied and the same have been compared with Raunkiaer's normal biological spectrum and other spectra of the adjoining regions of Ganga Valley. This reveals the dominance of therophytes which indicate that the phytoclimate of the district is therophytic. The area is devoid of its original natural vegetation and the dominance of therophytes is due to the introduction of weeds of cultivation.
