HSPB6 is differentially expressed in metastatic breast cancer, both in metastases to the brain and to the lymph nodes.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: December 2020

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that heat shock protein family B (small) member 6, encoded by HSPB6, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the metastatic tumor tissues of patients with metastatic breast cancer, both in metastases to brain and to the lymph nodes when compared to primary tumors of the breast or normal breast tissue, respectively. We observed significant down-regulation of HSPB6 in metastasis to the brain. Molecular functions and down-regulation of heat shock protein family B (small) member 6 may be important for metastasis of primary tumor-derived cancer cells to the lymph nodes and to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer and suggests some level of common origin for metastases that reside in the lymph nodes and colonize the brain.
TWELVE AXIOMS OF FUSION ENERGY R&D
Authors: Jassby Daniel
Published: December 2020

Fusion energy research and development (R&D) has been pursued formally for 70 years, with no successful outcome realistically in sight. From this discouraging history one can formulate a dozen axioms and their corollaries that characterize the nature of fusion energy R&D. These axioms embrace predicted vs actual performance of experimental devices, consumption of electric power and tritium, and the promotion of the R&D enterprise to the public. Explanations of these axioms show that the course of fusion energy R&D is as strongly influenced by behavioral science as by scientific and technological opportunities and obstacles. Only three of the axioms are due entirely to physical or technological constraints, while the vast majority are in large part reflections of human foolishness, fantasy and delusion. Recognition of these axioms can help alert funding agencies to probable waste of resources.
Bio-coated surfaces with micro-roughness and micro-porosity: Next generation coatings for enhanced energy efficiency

Published: December 2020

(This manuscript is submitted to Energy Journal-Elsevier.) Due to growing cooling demands as well as emerging global warming and climate change issues, cooling systems should be more efficiently utilized. Boiling is an effective heat transfer mechanism, which has a critical role in many cooling systems. Surface modification is considered as the major approach for boiling heat transfer enhancement. In this study, we developed a microbial bio-coating surface modification technique for phase change cooling applications. Thermoacidophilic Sulfolobus solfataricus coating was implemented using a facile dip coating method on different metallic and non-metallic surfaces. Controlled by drying conditions, the coating exhibited rough and porous morphologies. When tested in a boiling heat transfer setup, bio-coated surfaces offered enhancements up to 76.3% in Critical Heat Flux (CHF). Next, a miniature evaporator was coated and tested for real-world air-conditioning applications, and coefficient of performance (COP) enhancements up to 11% clearly revealed the potential of bio-coated surfaces for energy saving purpose and reduction in greenhouse gasses. Furthermore, coated evaporators reduced the exergy destruction rate up to 8%. This study not only offers a new type of coating morphology, but the applicability of the proposed bio-coating is also proven in a miniature air conditioning system.
Fat, Fit, and Fem: Exploring Performative Femininity for Fat Female Librarians
Authors: Versluis Ali , Agostino Carli , Cassidy Melanie
Published: December 2020

This chapter examines the nature of performative femininity within the context of library service roles, with a particular emphasis on fat women. It addresses the ways fat female bodies are desexualized or are viewed as agender in order to analyze the ways in which this influences fat women in library service roles, and the ways in which fat women are obliged to perform femininity to a greater degree than those with normative bodies. Our sites of analysis look at the expectations around fat women in instructional roles, committee membership, and public service interactions.

Bayesian modeling of the latent structure of individual differences in the numerical size-congruity effect
Authors: Faulkenberry Thomas J. , Bowman Kristen
Published: December 2020

When people are asked to choose the physically larger of a pair of numerals, they are often slower when relative physical size is incongruent with numerical magnitude. This size-congruity effect has applications across the field of numerical cognition, not only informing our understanding of mental representations of number, but also serving as an index for numerical ability in individuals. In this paper, we apply the methods of Haaf and Rouder (2017) to look at the size-congruity effect through the lens of individual differences. Here, we simply ask whether everyone exhibits the effect. We develop a class of hierarchical Bayesian mixed models with varying levels of constraint on the individual size-congruity effects. The models are then compared via Bayes factors, telling us which model best predicts the observed data. We then apply this modeling technique to three data sets. In all three data sets, the winning model was one in which the size-congruity effect was constrained to be positive. This indicates that, at least in the context of a physical comparison task with Arabic numerals, everyone exhibits a positive size-congruity effect. We discuss these results in the context of measurement fidelity and theory-building in numerical cognition.
Updating Beliefs Beyond the Here-and-Now: The Counter-factual Self in Anosognosia for Hemiplegia
Authors: Kirsch Louise P , Mathys Christoph , Papadaki Christina , Talelli Penelope , Friston Karl , Moro Valentina , Fotopoulou Aikaterini
Published: December 2020

The syndrome of anosognosia for hemiplegia (AHP), or the lack of awareness for one’s paralysis following right hemisphere stroke, can provide unique insights into the neurocognitive mechanisms of self-awareness. Yet it remains unclear whether AHP is a modality-specific deficit of sensorimotor monitoring, or whether domain-general processes of attention and belief-updating converge to cause AHP. Using a Bayesian learning framework, we formalised and empirically investigated the hypothesis that failures to update anosognosic beliefs can be explained by abnormalities in the relative uncertainty (i.e. precision) ascribed to prior beliefs versus sensory information in different contexts. We designed a new motor belief-updating task that manipulated both the temporal (prospective and retrospective) and spatial (hemispace most affected by inattention and hemispace less affected by inattention) conditions in which beliefs had to be updated, and we validated its sensitivity to AHP in 26 patients with right hemisphere stroke. We then computed and empirically tested two different Bayesian predictors of prospective beliefs using two proxies for precision in AHP patients: (i) standardised, neuropsychological measures of objective attention abilities, i.e. visuospatial neglect scores, and (ii) subjective uncertainty reports, i.e. confidence ratings. Our results suggest that while neglect does not affect local, sensorimotor error monitoring, it does seem to affect the degree to which observed errors are used to update more general, prospective beliefs about counterfactual motor abilities in AHP. Difficulties in such ‘counterfactual’ belief-updating were associated with disruptions in tracts of the ventral attentional network (i.e. superior longitudinal fasciculus connecting the temporo-parietal junction and ventral frontal cortex) and associated lesions to the insula, inferior parietal cortex and superior temporal regions. These results suggest that self-awareness extends beyond local, retrospective monitoring, requiring also salience-based, convergence of beliefs about the self that go beyond the ‘here-and-now’ of sensorimotor experience.

Reproductive ecology of short and long-term mating: implications for sexual selection and life history theory
Authors: Međedović Janko Mileta
Published: December 2020

Mating patterns are crucial for understanding selection regimes in current populations and highly implicative for sexual selection and life history theory. However, empirical data on the relations between mating and fitness-related outcomes in contemporary humans are lacking. In the present research we examined the sexual selection on mating (with an emphasis on Bateman’s third parameter – the association between mating and reproductive success) and life history dynamics of mating by examining the relations between mating patterns and a comprehensive set of variables which determine human reproductive ecology. We conducted two studies (Study 1: N=398, Mage=31.03; Study 2: N=996, Mage=40.81, the sample was representative for participants’ sex, age, region, and settlement size). The findings from these studies were mutually congruent and complementary. In general, the data suggested that short-term mating was unrelated or even negatively related to reproductive success. Conversely, long-term mating was positively associated with reproductive success and there were indices that the beneficial role of long-term mating is more pronounced in males, which is in accordance with Bateman’s third principle. Observed age of first reproduction fully mediated the link between long-term mating and number of children but only in male participants. There were no clear indications of the position of the mating patterns in human life history trajectories; however, the obtained data suggested that long-term mating has some characteristics of fast life history dynamics. Findings are implicative for sexual selection and life history theory in humans.
When is the Evidence Sufficiently Supportive of Real-World Application? Evidence-Based Practices, Open Science, Clinical Readiness Level
Authors: Shaw Steven , Pecsi Sierra
Published: December 2020

Evidence-based interventions are the standard for school psychology practice. Yet, how do professionals know when research scope, relevance, transparency, and quality are ready for real-world application? There remain questions as to exactly how these core concepts of evidence-based practices are realized. A discussion on whether psychological science can be relied on to deliver real-world practices related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic led IJzerman and colleagues to develop a rubric to evaluate research for real-world application called Evidence Readiness Level. This model is adapted for school psychologists’ use in evaluating and implementing research for clinical practice. Clinical Readiness Level is a rubric that is designed to narrow the research-to-practice gap, provide criteria for evidence-based practices, and specify the value of a scientist-practitioner model of school psychology.Keywords: evidence-based practices, implementation, research-to-practice, research methods, school psychologists

Maternal depressive symptoms and infant temperament in the first year of life predict child behaviour at 36 months of age
Authors: Rigato Silvia , Charalambous Sophia , Stets Manuela , Holmboe Karla
Published: December 2020

In a longitudinal study, mothers (N=50) self-reported on their depressive symptoms (DS) and their child’s behavior during the first year and at 36 months postpartum. Maternal DS during infancy were associated with child conduct problems (CP), suggesting a long-term association between maternal mental health and the development of child behavior. Infant temperament was also associated with child behavior so that negative affect predicted child CP, while infant surgency was associated with later hyperactivity/inattention. This study contributes to the literature by jointly assessing the role of maternal DS and infant temperament and showing that these are independent predictors of childhood behavior.
Network Selection and Influence Effects on Children’s and Adolescents’ Internalizing Behaviors and Peer Victimization: A Systematic Review
Authors: Neal Jennifer Watling , Veenstra René
Published: December 2020

In interpersonal models of developmental psychopathology, friendships and affiliations with peershave been considered as both consequences and determinants of children’s and adolescents’ internalizing behaviors and peer victimization. Longitudinal stochastic actor-oriented models (SAOMs) allow developmental researchers to disentangle peer selection processes where children or adolescents choose friends who are similar to themselves in internalizing behaviors or peer victimization from peer influence processes where children or adolescents become more similar to their friends over time in internalizing behaviors or peer victimization. This paper highlights the methods and results from a systematic review that screened 1,447 empirical articles and located 28 using SAOMs to understand the interplay between peer social networks and internalizing behaviors or peer victimization. The results provide some evidence for both peer selection and influence related to depression, social anxiety, and peer victimization. Additionally, the results provide insight into directions for additional substantive and methodological research. Based on the findings of this review, future research is recommended that considers specific tests of peer selection and influence mechanisms, developmental and gender differences, individual and contextual moderators, multiplex relationships, methodological quality, and direct replication of prior studies.
Writing and Literature in Counseling

Published: December 2020

Menurut Balton (2004) melalui menulis memungkinkan individu dapat mengeksplorasi kognitif, emosi, dan sebagainya yang sebelumnya tidak dapat diungkapkan. Menulis yang di gunakan dalam terapi tidak membutuhkan tulisan dalam bentuk suatu seni, namun lebih cenderung pada bagaimana tulisan tersebut sebagai bentuk komunikasi dengan diri sendiri ataupun orang lain serta sebuah cara untuk meningkatkan kogniif dan kewaspadnan dari suatu pengalaman yang lelah diperoleh. Fokus dari menulis dalam terapi menulis pengalaman emosional atau ekspresif adalah proses menulis itu sendiri bukan hasil tulisan dari proses menulis (Salmiyati. 2017).
Drama in Counseling
Authors: Rachmawati
Published: December 2020

Psikodrama adalah metode konseling kelompok dan individu yang melewati terapi bicara tradisional. Moreno menyarankan bahwa waktu dan ruang adalah dimensi yang diabaikan dalam kebanyakan terapi. Dia menulis, "Jadi, ketiga dimensi masa lalu, sekarang, dan masa depan disatukan dalam psikodrama." Dia melanjutkan, "Ide psikoterapi ruang telah dipelopori oleh psikodrama, yang berpusat pada tindakan dan secara komprehensif mencoba mengintegrasikan semua dimensi kehidupan ke dalam dirinya sendiri" (Moreno 1969, 3:13). Klien memasuki lingkungan konseling tiga dimensi yang dapat membawa masa lalu dan masa kini ke masa kini. Oleh karena itu, konseling dalam dimensi ketiga ruang dan waktu memungkinkan klien untuk mengkaji kehidupan dengan mengutip paradigma baru dengan mengkaji adegan dan setting yang membawa masa lalu atau masa depan ke masa kini. Realitas berlebih ini membantu klien untuk tidak hanya melihat "kanvas," tetapi juga melangkah ke dalam lukisan dan pengalaman atau pengalaman ulang di semua dimensinya (Marvin, G. & Knittel, ED, 2009).

Published: December 2020

Objective: In psychotherapy process research, there is a lack of experimental designs that specifically explore which therapeutic style is helpful for which patient. Thus, the aim of this study was to test the feasibility of experimentally varying the therapeutic style under realistic conditions and how this affects alliance. Method: We defined two therapeutic styles (relationship-focused vs. problem-focused) based on the interpersonal circumplex. In a randomized two-group design, 64 healthy university students (70% female, Mage=23.78 years old, SDage=2.81) were assigned to one of the styles and received a single psychological counseling session on interpersonal conflicts. We checked the manipulation success using an adherence rating and counselors’ interpersonal impressions via the Interpersonal Message Inventory (IMI-R). Primary outcome was alliance (Working Alliance Inventory, WAI). Symptom severity (Symptom Checklist, SCL-K-9) was also assessed. Results: Analyses of adherence (p< .001) and IMI-R ratings (p< .001 in friendly dimension, p=.003 in hostile dimension) were hypotheses-conform to the proposed therapeutic styles. Alliance was highly rated in both conditions and by all raters. While clients did not show any group differences, counselor and observer ratings were significantly higher in the relationship-focused than in the problem-focused condition (p=.040; p=.003). In both groups, symptom severity decreased significantly after the session (p=.020).Conclusions: The experimental variation of the therapeutic style is feasible under realistic conditions with high overall alliance ratings. The novel experimental design may provide a basis for further process research. Mediator and moderator analyses could yield more detailed information on differential relationship forming and thus an individualized therapeutic style.

In Ayurveda almost all skin disorder are explained under Kustha Rogadhikara. Ekakustha is a type of Kshudra Kustha. It is Vata Kaphaj disorder. It can be correlated with psoriasis both of these have similar sign and symptomatology. Psoriasis is long lasting autoimmune inflammatory papulosquamous disorder characterized by patches of abnormal skin. These skin patches are typically red, itchy and scaly. Its symptoms often worsen during winter and with certain medication, such as beta blockers etc. Psychological stress can also play a role in manifestation of psoriasis. Both males and females are equally affected by this disease. Approximately 1-2% of World’s total population is affected by psoriasis. Due to its chronic recurrent nature. It is a challenge to treat this disease. In Ayurveda both Shodhan and Shaman Chikitsa are mentioned for Kushtha. In this case study first Deepan-pachan then Virechana as Shodhan Chikitsa and Shaman yoga were given, which showed good result in Ekakushtha.

Published: December 2020

Renal disorders are growing very rapidly among people all over the world nowadays and the treatment modalities available in modern medicine have undesirable side effects on human health. Plants of mutravirechaniya mahakashaya, described as, 35th mahakashaya in the 4th chapter of Charaka Samhita, Purvardha are mostly recognised for their urine inducing or urinary flow increasing capacity along with urinary system defending property in the ancient ayurvedic medical science. Formulations containing these plants as main ingredients have been regularly prescribed for the cases of abdominal fluid collection, renal problems, renal calculi, fluid collection in the lower extremities or any other cases of fluid overload in traditional system of Indian medicine. Studies approving urinary flow enhancing capacity along with the urinary calculi destroying property for the active ingredient of the individual plant, explain these plants’ utilization for renal diseases. Induction of adequate urine output is the basic concept of treatment for these disorders as majority of these conditions hamper normal filtration mechanism of the excretory system. Current article tries to specify the research works done scientifically upon the herbs having diuretic properties grouped together under the roof of mutravirechaniya mahakashaya in ayurvedic classics. It is composed of the knowledge gained from various scholarly articles, scientific papers, books and research topics gathered through the medium of documentation and internet. The presented compilation work helps towards proving its biological activities and pharmacology of its extracts which will contribute towards further exploration of this group of great clinical potential. However, further studies should be carried out to identify the mechanism of the pharmacological actions of these drugs classically mentioned in a group of diuretics.
Employment Intensity of Economic Growth: Evidence from Nepal

Published: December 2020

Economic growth and employment are taken as the top twin objectives of macroeconomic policy agenda in both developed and developing countries. Economic growth brings changes in employment growth. In general, during time of the growth of gross domestic product (GDP) increasing employment opportunities are created while unemployment will be rising during economic deceleration. This paper examines employment intensity of growth in (i) the economy of Nepal in totality, (ii) three broad economic sectors, and (iii) different sub-sectors of the economy over the period 1998-2018. Empirical result indicates labor-intensive growth in Nepal over the review period. There is no indication of jobless growth.
Is Foreign Employment a Preferred Informed Choice among Households? Evidence from Nepal
Authors: Sharma Bishnu Prasad
Published: December 2020

Foreign employment is one of the most significant phenomena impacting a wide range of dimensions in South Asian economies that characterize a large population out-migrating for work. whether sending a member for foreign employment a preferred informed choice of households in such economies, is not known. This paper aims to examine this research question using a binary logit model using indicators of household informed decision making, leadership qualities and the access to social networks. The findings indicated that foreign employment is not a preferred choice of households but is primarily the decision of the individual to go for foreign employment rather remain unemployed and economically insecure at home. Further analysis revealed that outstanding loans were higher, and the loans paid last year were also higher for foreign employment households compared to non-foreign employed households. The mean per capita consumption of households with foreign employed member were not statistically different than those of non-foreign employed households indicating no significant welfare gain for a majority of foreign employed labour households.
Wzniosłość i gniew
Authors: Marchewka Anna
Published: December 2020

The article endeavours to characterize key issues raised by Ananda Devi (1957), a francophone writer and poet born in Mauritius who has been living in France for many years. The analysis is based primarily on two novels that were translated into Polish by Krzysztof Jarosz: Le sari vert / Zielone sari and Ève de ses décombres / Ewa ze swych zgliszcz. Already these two novels enable us to perceive the uniqueness of Devi’s writings, whose clear commitment to the discussion about burning social problems equals its commitment to the discussion with literature: its tradition, present status quo, planned future. Devi poses questions about national, linguistic, cultural, and sexual identity; about wasted opportunities of emancipation from the shackles of colonialism; about possibilities of freedom in the environment of systemic subjugation. The micro perspective enables her to show some macro phenomena: continuous production of “dispensable people,” human robots exploited to produce goods for the rich North and the rich West, sacked overnight when using cheap labour force stops bringing profit; systemic racism used by the law-observing state to perform illegal acts. In the world based on the economy of profit, literature, and particularly poetry, becomes a unique weapon, because it serves no purpose. Reading and writing are revolutionary activities, looking for brothers and sisters in poetry is a chance to build a radical International that includes also (or rather, first of all) men and women who have experienced rupture, life in two different dimensions, languages, groups (choosing French by a Mauritian was a declaration, Devi describes the experience of splitting when portraying Sad in Ève de ses décombres). Devi is particularly concerned with the fate of children doomed to failure due to their “bad” descent, skin colour, or sex, children who are guilty from birth. Systemic inequalities and inherited violence in humiliated and ashamed communities mainly afflict women, who are reduced to bodies that may be conquered, beaten, exploited as labour force. Devi succeeds in presenting silent or nameless women not as victims (although she does not underplay their suffering, on the contrary), but as heroes who become reborn after traumas or in next generations, able to take revenge, risking the scraps of stability and false safety to show their presence, to exert influence, to reverberate. The flame of wrath experienced by Devi’s characters, also those burnt alive, as the character in Le sari vert, should (and will) be a seedbed of change, because you cannot burn all women pregnant with silence. Devi accuses (like the author of Les Misérables), she is not afraid of elevation, as panache is necessary for a coup, for changing the status quo, the order based on lawlessness, for social, common awakening.
Visegrad Group as institution for Central European cooperation: Ups and downs of small international organizations
Authors:   Matej Bel University in Banska Bystrica, Ušiak Jaroslav
Published: December 2020

Central Europe has always been an integral part of all processes on the European continent. Nowadays, more than 30 years after the fall of the Iron Curtain, Central Europe has broad opportunities for cooperation in all areas and is fully integrated into various regional and international organisations. Using qualitative methods—analysis and comparison with combination with the theory of social constructivism—help us understand the social phenomena of cooperation among states. Based on social constructivism theory, our article elaborates on the factors of cooperation between individual states, focusing on the cooperation of the Visegrad Four (V4) countries in Central Europe. We examine the factors leading to the establishment of V4 cooperation, its form, and specific features related to the European Regional Security Complex, as well as future challenges.
Social-Conservative Russian soft power: A traditional agenda and illiberal values as a source of attraction or coercion? A case study of Slovakia
Authors:   University of Ostrava, Czech Republic, Solik Martin
Published: December 2020

The ongoing polarization of European society in the political-ideological context is apparent. This polarization causes considerable tension in society. Sophisticated soft power based on political values and policies that Russia has been using against the West especially since 2012 is a power struggle for people’s minds and souls. Russia does not only try to undercut faith in Europe and its institutions among its citizens, but it also aims to offer a “better” alternative. There is an increasing effort to create an alternative value universe against the “nihilist” and “decadent” West – not only in Russia but also in the whole World. There is quite a visible ambition from the Russian side to become the “illiberal” world leader. This contribution has been drawn up in the context of this urgent issue. The article examines whether Russian soft power fulfils the criteria of attractiveness or just coercion, and what Russia is pursuing by promoting this form of power
Online reputation management by cancer hospitals: A systematic literature review in the USA and Spain
Authors: Medina-Aguerrebere Pablo , González-Pacanowski Toni , Medina Eva
Published: December 2020

Cancer hospitals manage social media platforms in a professional way to improve their relationships with internal and external stakeholders and reinforce their corporate brand. To do so, they need their health professionals to be involved: these professionals become brand ambassadors able to influence society. Nevertheless, they face different challenges: legal issues, new patients’ demands, privacy-related matters, or the difficulty of disseminating scientific content. This literature review paper analyzes how cancer hospitals manage their social media platforms to improve their reputation. To do this, we carry out a systematic literature review focused on papers published in the USA and Spain, based on the Salsa framework proposed by Grant and Booth (2009). We then define an online corporate communication model allowing cancer hospitals to improve their reputation through Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube (MedPac Model for Building Cancer Hospital Brands). The paper concludes that this model is useful for cancer hospitals because it prioritizes persons (brand ambassadors) rather than companies, focuses on scientific and emotional content rather than business information, and is based on human values.
Evaluation of patients with PFPS using a standardized Q angle measurement protocol
Authors: SONGUR Adil , DEMİRDEL Ertuğrul
Published: December 2020

An important concept in patellofemoral joint function is the quadriceps angle (Q angle), but there is a standardization problem with the measurement method. The aim of the study was to compare the change of the Q angle in relaxed or maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) of the quadriceps using a standardized measurement method in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). This cross-sectional analytical study includes 34 sedentary female patients aged 18-50 years with a diagnosis of PFPS. Measurements were carried out with a manual extendable fixed-arm goniometer. For the first measurement, the patient was placed in quadriceps relaxed in supine position. Lower extremity rotation was neutralized using the axial rotation neutralizing apparatus (ARNA). For the second measurement, while the quadriceps was maximally contracted in the same position the midpoint of the patella was re-marked and then the measurement was repeated. The Q angle measurements taken in quadriceps relaxed and MVC were 18.44° ± 2.80° and 16.41° ± 2.83°, respectively (p = .00). It was determined that there was no correlation between age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), leg length and Q angle measurements of the participants (p > .05). In conclusion, this measurement method offered measurement estimations that verified the effect of the quadriceps on the Q angle in patients with PFPS. The prevention of axial rotation in the leg and the use of an extendable fixed-arm goniometer contribute to the standardization of Q angle measurement.

The article is devoted to the formation of texts’-creating skills of pupils of primary school. The authors prove that the competence of communication, which we can form effectively within the texts’-creating activity (especially during the writing essay), is the leading one among the key competencies which must be mastered by the pupils during the studying of different disciplines at all stages of the education. The texts’-creating skills are the most important in their significance within the system of the educational skills because they are the fundamental for the vast majority of these educational skills. The article contains the samples of essays which were created by the pupils of the 4th form. This gives the opportunity to be persuaded that due to the involvement of pupils to the writing essays the teacher teaches pupils to form their thoughts clearly and correctly, to structure the information, to establish the casual (reason-consequence) relationships, to illustrate the term with the help of examples, to improve the style of writing. It is proved the role of the teacher of primary school who organizes the educational process of each lesson of Ukrainian language in such a way that it will evoke and support the pupils’ natural need and demand in the text-creating activity, during the communication The authors persuade that the essay teaches pupils to express their opinion and thoughts correctly and brightly; to talk easily about the scientific things and life’s problems. The pupils have the opportunity to reveal their position in simple way, to reveal their opinion in available and confident way, to tell about the things which impressed them. The integration of the language and speech within the education gives pupils of primary school the opportunity to obtain gradually (from form to the next form) the necessary notion about the language as the way of communication; it helps to orient in the situation of communication, to think about the answer, to correct it depending on the communicative goal; it reveals for the pupils the opportunity to communicate in written form; it also stimulates the development of the creative abilities, desire to create own texts which are the certain integration of language skills (skills of writing, reading, speaking and listening). On the essays’ material we observe the organization of the communicative text’s form which provides the formation of skills to structure the thought clearly and to express it clearly and concisely.

викладачів іноземних мов. Автором наголошено на важливості цього феномену в рамках освітнього процесу та подальшої професійної діяльності фахівця. Окремо визначено принципи формування професійних навичок майбутнього фахівця сфери іноземних мов. Автор підкреслює, що успішна професійна соціалізація є умовою для ефективної діяльності майбутнього педагога. Названо основні проблеми сучасної освітньої системи, що стосуються процесу професійної соціалізації студентів. Для майбутніх викладачів іноземних мов вона включає процес формування певних якостей особистості-професіонала, до яких можна віднести: рівень загального інтелектуального розвитку (професійне мислення) рівень організації діяльності фахівця; культура спілкування; рівень володіння принципами професійної етики, формування професійного такту й майстерності. Автор вирішує проблему, яка полягає в тому, що для формування в підростаючого покоління нової, цілісної свідомості в педагога має бути сформований високий професіоналізм, нове педагогічне мислення, висока духовна і моральна культура, тобто завданням професійної підготовки полягає в засвоєнні студентами системних знань і практичних умінь, які дозволять оволодіти критеріями оцінки соціальних і природних явищ, феноменів культури. Складність і багатоаспектність соціалізації особистості обумовлює необхідність виділення і вивчення конкретних її видів. Диверсифікація поняття “професійна соціалізація” обумовлена тим, що саме через професійну освіту і трудову діяльність відбувається передача досвіду і відтворення трудових відносин, входження людини у світ професійної діяльності, оновлюється соціально-професійна структура суспільства. Численні дослідження показують, що соціалізація має складну природу, різноманітні форми, однією з яких є професійна соціалізація. Інтерес до вивчення професійної соціалізації вченими різних наукових напрямків (психології, філософії, культурології та педагогіки), що дозволяє досліджувати різні аспекти професійної соціалізації, підкреслює суспільну значущість проблеми дослідження. Професійна соціалізація формує потенціал успішного включення індивіда в процес трудової діяльності й підтримки високого рівня професійної мобільності протягом усього життя. Ключові слова: професійна соціалізація, освітній процес, якість, особистість, професія.

The results of research conducted on gray forest soils with legumes during 2016-2019 are presented, with their comparative characteristics in terms of yield and basic indicators of seed quality (crude protein yield). The levels of yield of legume seeds grown in the Right Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine – soybeans, peas, white lupine and narrow-leaved lupine are given. For the studied crops, feeding conditions were optimized on the basis of resource conservation, through the use of modern biological products and growth-regulating substances in different varieties. It is established that the studied legumes should be sown in the Right Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine to overcome the problem of plant fodder protein. These legumes form a high fodder and grain productivity. It is established that the use of modern restrictive drugs for seed treatment and sowing increases legumes. The issues of the scientific article are of a complex multidisciplinary nature in the combination of adaptive farming systems and varietal cultivation technology given the current trends of climate change. Establishment and implementation is based on issues and tasks of applied research, which is carried out at the expense of the state budget on the topic: «Development of methods for improving the technology of growing legumes using biofertilizers, bacterial preparations, foliar fertilizers and physiologically active substances» 0120U102034) Vinnytsia National Agrarian University.
