Authors:   N.P. Laverov Federal Center for Integrated Arctic Research of Ural Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, Blynskaya T.A. , Malinina K.O.
Published: November 2020

Analyzed is educational motivation of senior school pupils. Theoretical part of the work includes analysis of the theory of generations, taking into account Russian conditions. Modern senior school pupils (born in 2003), according to generation theory, belong to generation Z. Empirical study was carried out in schools оf city of Arkhangelsk. Objects of the research were both teachers and students of 9–11 ages. As a result of the work, it was revealed, that in senior school age, success of education largely depends on cognitive interest of pupils. In such situation, certain contradiction arises: on the one hand, teacher must arouse interest in schoolchildren, manage this interest, develop and improve. On the other hand, if pupils are in lack cognitive interest as a motive for educational activity, it is difficult for teacher to arouse this interest on his own. In the process of interviewing teachers, the majority of informants expressed opinion, that impossible is to motivate pupil, if he don’t want. Teachers think that reasons for unformed interest are uncomfortable conditions for teachers in the system of education, as well as the lack of innovations in that system.
Breaking of norms of law and morality in law enforcement sphere
Authors:   East Siberian Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Lopatin D.A.
Published: November 2020

Examined are porosities of contact of concepts “morality” and “law” in service activities of employees and service persons of law enforcement organizations. Ambiguity of these terms in professional activity gives rise to reasoning over superiority and importance of one over the other in various situations. This problem is considered by the author on one of the most illustrative examples of choice of moral or legal priorities, encountered in practice in the law enforcement field. Conclusions are drawn on examples of professions of employee of internal affairs bodies, prosecutors, judges, lawyers, etc. The analysis is made on such interconnecting categories as consciousness, professional duty, moral culture, moral and psychological preparedness, legal awareness, patriotism, professional duty, traditions, honor, etc. The author’s opinion presupposes the value of each of legal and moral categories, their inalienability from each other and of paramount importance for the individual, carrying the state function of protecting interests of citizens.

Published: November 2020

Researched are some certain issues, related to optimization of departmental education of cadets of the Federal penitentiary service, taking into account ongoing humanization of criminal enforcement policy and law enforcement practice. Noted is, that today gradual withdrawal from criminal penalties, associated with real deprivation of liberty, were naturally led to concentration in correctional institutions persons, who committed serious and heinous crimes with recidivism, to resist unlawful intentions that the young employees of the penitentiary system is quite difficult, as prisoners, using various psychological tricks are constantly attempting progressive involvement of agencies and staff of UIS in their criminal activities. The author reveals the most typical methods, used by a special agent to incite employees of the UIS to enter into off-duty relationships, describes the destructive nature of these actions. Taking into account this problem, the article demonstrates the content of certain pedagogical technologies that are aimed at forming and strengthening psychological stability in cadets of higher education institutions of the Federal penitentiary service of Russia, resistance to manipulative influences from special agents, and the development of skills of constructive communication with convicts. Conclusion is made, that it is necessary to saturate educational and thematic plans for disciplines, implemented within specific specialization with separate topics, aimed at forming psychological stability of students and readiness for everyday constructive interaction with a special agent.
Educational trends and technologies 4.0. Digitalization of education: persondeveloped concept
Authors:   Research Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, Lukashenko D.V.
Published: November 2020

Presented are stages of transformation of the education system, based on the criterion of technological representation and knowledge acquisition. Features of transformation of the education system in accordance with change in technology in education through acquisition of knowledge by subjects on the basis of technologies implemented in education are examined. Four stages are distinguished, and the last one related to integration of artificial intelligence in the educational environment in direction of development of Education 4.0 is considered in more detail. The concept of person-develop of personality in digital environment, based on cognitive processing of information by a person is presented. Feature of the person-develop concept allows to replace progressive receipt of information by a person in development of person in direction of relevance and individuality of receiving information, forming an attractor of development. Necessity of using the concept of an attractor instead of a trajectory, that allows one to consider multi-dimensionality and variability of personality development in digital environment, is substantiated. The basis for implementation of the concept of person-develop is the concept of content, sliding across the information space. This concept considers development of personality in digital environment through formation of trans-disciplinarity of consumed content. Content-slide is presented as an attractor of personality development, associated with deviations, that occur during the analysis and assimilation of content. Due to the content slide, personality sets an individual direction of his development in information developing space. The article considers the direction of integration into information developing space of artificial intelligence, that will transform the content, consumed by the individual into image models, corresponding to the cognitive orientation of personality for its productive analysis and assimilation.
Virtual reality technology as possible electronic educational tool for development of practical skills in model of formation during transition of universities to distant education
Authors:   Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Shymchenko A.V. , Kasyanenko E.O.
Published: November 2020

Researched is the problem, connected with the fact, that due to the growing interest in attracting the model of electronic distance education, it is relevant to assess the capabilities of digital tools and electronic educational platforms in the training of highly qualified specialists. Consideration of systems and platforms of electronic distance education that are in demand within the framework of the implementation of higher education programs allows us to come to the conclusion about the active use of video, audio, text and graphic methods of presenting educational information. At the same time, the results of the completed review and analysis of the requirements for a number of higher education areas demonstrate the need to form students' applied skills of physical labor. However, the absence of a kinesthetic way of perceiving information does not allow to properly consider existing solutions in the field of distance education as an effective alternative to the traditional “face-to-face” interaction between a student and a teacher in the framework of laboratory and practical training sessions. The obtained conclusion reflects the presence of a significant limitation for the preparation of a number of specialties exclusively through e-distance learning tools. Overcoming this limitation is possible by attracting new solutions based on modern digital technologies, such as virtual reality (VR), cloud computing and new generation telecommunications technologies. The potentialities of such solutions were compared with the capabilities of virtual simulators and laboratories used today. On the other hand, possible solutions were assessed from the standpoint of existing risks and limitations associated primarily with overestimated expectations for the effectiveness of these technologies.

The correct phrase was introduced, i.e. “integrated management of activities of state bodies at the borders”. The article analyzes features of international cooperation models, based on examples of the CIS member countries and member countries of the Eurasian economic community, African countries and Scandinavian countries in the issues of integrated management of activities of state bodies at borders. Prospects for further researches are determined.
Using image analysis to estimate quantitatively some microstructural parameters of detrital sediments
Authors: FRANCUS Pierre
Published: November 2020

A simple, easy to implement, image analysis method providing quantitative parameters for detrital clay-rich sediments is presented. Photomicrographs from petrographic and backscattered electron microscopes are processed to produce binary images, where black pixels are objects within the clay-matrix. Measurements of the objects allow calculation of the value of several simple indices. These indices are defined to estimate quantitatively the grain-size, shape, orientation, and packing of the objects that constitute the sedimentary microstructures. The methodology advantageously replaces most of the time-consuming and laborious counting and measurements carried out in classical microsedimentological studies. It can be easily modified according to the needs of the user.

THE EFFECTS OF R&D EXPENDITURES ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN OECD COUNTRIES
Authors: Abdulkadir Amanah , Afriana Wendra , Azis Harry
Published: November 2020

This study investigates the relationship between R&D and economic growth in 33 OECD countries. This research uses panel data method. The results showed that there are three independent variables that affect economic growth. Namely, gross domestic expenditure on R&D, government research, and internet access. However, gross domestic expenditure on R&D and government research has a negative impact on economic growth. With the t-statistics of -2.944775 and -0.203002, respectively. While the t-statistic for internet access variable is 2.460783. This shows that only the internet access variable has a positive effect on economic growth. Meanwhile, the variable access to computers from home does not affect economic growth, because the probability is 0.0674 or> 0.05. These findings do not support the general hypothesis that R&D expenditures will have a positive impact on economic growth. The research agenda must be clear, substantive and short-term and must be implemented as a consideration in making decisions. So that every investment in R&D spending provides benefits with the hope of creating new innovations, so that the Indonesian economy grows positively.

O cará é um tubérculo comestível da família do inhame, originário da América do Sul apresentando diversos nomes populares como cará-barbado, cará-moela, cará-da-costa, cará-de-São-Tomé, cará branco, cará preto, cará amarelo, cará do Pará, etc. Entre as espécies domesticadas cerca de 10 são cultivadas (D. alata, D. bulbifera, C. cayenensis, D. rotundata, D. esculenta, D. opposita-20 japonica, D. nummularia, D. pentaphylla,D. transversa e D. trifida). A espécie Dioscorea bulbifera assim como outros carás, é um tipo de inhame, popularmente conhecido como cará-moela, cará-borboleta, cará-do-ar e cará-de-corda. Diferente do cará convencional, o cará-moela é uma espécie não convencional e recebe esse nome devido sua similaridade com a moela do frango. Devido à carência de estudos referentes à espécie Dioscorea bulbifera na literatura, o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi avaliar as características nutricionais dessa espécie, assim como compará-la com a espécie Dioscorea spp. As espécies foram caracterizadas quanto à composição nutricional avaliando o teor de umidade, lipídios, proteína, fibras, cinzas, carboidratos e valor calórico total.  Os resultados obtidos mostraram semelhança entre os dois tubérculos quanto ao teor de umidade, proteínas e lipídios, no entanto o cará-moela apresentou menor teor de carboidrato, menor valor calórico e maior teor de fibras quando comparado ao cará convencional.
A MODERNIZAÇÃO DA AGRICULTURA NO BRASIL: TRANSIÇÕES AGRÍCOLAS E AUTOGESTÃO
Authors: Dos Santos Arthur Saldanha
Published: November 2020

Ao partir da problemática da condição alimentar na atualidade e suas configurações nos processos de produção no campo, entende-se que a modernização da agricultura funcionou como um divisor de águas no mundo, ao proporcionar o levantamento de críticas profundas e de dimensões diversificadas. Dentro destas condições, a problemática deste trabalho está centrada em verificar como as performances apresentadas pela autogestão da produção agrícola se afirmam no contexto pós modernização agrícola. O objetivo deste trabalho é compreender as implicações do processo de transformação da agricultura no Brasil, para os empreendimentos familiares de produção no campo. O trabalho proposto parte de uma investigação teórico-conceitual sobre o processo de modernização da agricultura no Brasil. A modernização no campo contribuiu para a redefinição dos processos agroalimentares, sendo base para o crescimento de críticas sobre a qualidade da produção, quantidade e as implicações negativas para o meio ambiente. As transições agrícolas observadas na agroecologia, por exemplo, reforçam a importância dessas críticas no sistema agroalimentar, bem como propõem a autogestão como alternativa para essa transição produtiva de forma justa entre os produtores e consumidores.
Dual-Task Effect on Cognitive and Body Function, β-amyloid Levels in Alzheimer's Dementia Patients: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Nam Seung Min , KIM SEONG-GIL
Published: November 2020

The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of dual-task training, including cognitive tasks, on cognitive and bodily functioning and β-amyloid levels in Alzheimer's dementia patients. The subjects were 34 inpatients diagnosed with Alzheimer's dementia at a nursing hospital located in Gyeongsansi, South Korea. The patients were randomly divided into a dual-task group (n = 16) and a single-task group (n = 18). The dual-task group performed cognitive tasks at the same time as exercising tasks, while the single-task group performed only exercise tasks. Each group was trained for 30 minutes three times a week for eight weeks. The Mini-Mental State Examination was used to measure the patients’ cognitive function. Static and dynamic balance were measured to evaluate bodily functioning. Static balance was measured using Biorescue, while dynamic balance was measured using the Berg Balance Scale. Blood analysis was performed to measure levels of β-amyloid, which is known to cause Alzheimer's dementia. Both groups exhibited statistically significant improvements in gait function after the training (p < .05). The dual-task group exhibited statistically significant differences in cognitive function, static and dynamic balance function, and β-amyloid levels after training (p < .05). A significant difference was observed between the two groups (p < .05). Dual-task activities were found to be effective in improving cognitive and bodily functioning and reducing β-amyloid levels in Alzheimer's dementia patients. Therefore, dual-task training is thought to be an effective method of treating and preventing Alzheimer's dementia.
Distributed Correlation-Based Clustering Mechanism for Large-Scale Datasets
Authors: Lee Kuei-Sheng , Tsai Meng-Feng , Huang Chi-Sheng
Published: November 2020

In the field of machine learning, cluster analysis has always been a very important technology for determining useful or implicit characteristics in the data. However, the current mainstream cluster analysis algorithms require comprehensive analysis of the overall data to obtain the best parameters in the algorithm. As a result, handling large-scale datasets would be difficult. This research proposes a distributed related clustering mechanism for Unsupervised Learning, which assumes that if adjacent data are similar, a group can be formed by relating to more data points. Therefore, when processing data, large-scale datasets can be distributed to multiple computers, and the correlation of any two datasets in each computer can be calculated simultaneously. Later, results are processed through aggregation and filtering before assembled into groups. This method would greatly reduce the pre-processing and execution time of the dataset; in practical application, it only needs to focus on how the relevance of the data is designed. In addition, the experimental results show the accuracy, applicability, and ease of use of this method.

Authors: Barbara Ayan , Rajput Shailendra , Komoshvili Konstantin , Levitan Jacob , Yahalom Asher , Liberman- Aronov Stella
Published: November 2020

Nonionizing millimeter-waves (MMW) interact with cells in a variety of ways. Here the inhibited cell division effect was investigated using 85-105 GHz MMW irradiation within the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) non-thermal 20 mW/cm2 safety standards. We irradiated using radiation with a power density of about 1.0 mW/cm2 over 5-6 hours on 50 cells/μl samples of Saccharomyces cerevisiae model organism. This resulted in 62% growth rate reduction compared to the control (sham). The effect was specific for 85-105 GHz range, and was energy and cell density dependent. Irradiation of wild type and Δrad52 (DNA damage repair gene) deleted cells presented no differences of colony growth profiles indicating non-thermal MMW treatment does not cause permanent genetic alterations. Dose versus response relations studied using a standard horn antenna (~1.0 mW/cm2) and compared to that of a compact waveguide (17.17 mW/cm2) for increased power delivery resulted in complete termination of cell division via non-thermal processes supported by temperature rise measurements. Combinations of MMW mediated Structure Resonant Energy Transfer (SRET), membrane modulations eliciting signaling effects, and energetic resonance with biomolecules are conjectured to be responsible for the observations reported. Our results suggest innovative applications of nonionizing radiation procedures for yeast related diseases and other targeted biomedical outcomes.

Published: November 2020

The present article is devoted to the investigation of structural ambiguity in English. Investigation has been carried out on specifically selected sentences containing structural ambiguity. Ambiguity is the inner feature of every language. We come across the process of ambiguity in both spoken and written discourse. Ambiguity has been a topic of interest not only for linguists but also for psycholinguists. The interest in the study of the decoding of the meaning of the sentence can be considered a new sphere in general linguistics. Here a great attention has been paid to the experimental-phonetic analysis of the ambiguous sentences.

Published: November 2020

Many rural households in Nigeria are less accessible to markets to transact their business. Traders travel considerable distance and pay high transport fare to convey their goods to markets for sale. This is because many rural communities are located farther away from where the markets are situated. It is on this background that this study examined the accessibility of traders to markets in some rural communities in Ayedaade Local Government Area of Osun State. Both primary and secondary data were utilized for this research. Three sets of data were required. The first set of data focused on the socio-economic characteristics of traders such as gender classification, family composition, level of education and possession of personal means of transportation. The second data required focused on the travel pattern of rural population to markets taking into account attributes such as distance travelled, mode of transportation mostly used, average travel time and frequency of trip to market in a week. The last category of data elicited was based on constraint of women to access market centres in the region. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyse the data. Findings reveal that the pattern of distribution of markets is in the study area is dispersed rather than random. Agricultural products and few manufactured goods are traded at Olufi central market in the study area. More than 60% of traders relied on Public transport (motorcycle), which charge exorbitant transport fare to convey their goods to markets. Arrays of goods traded in the market is the first major determinant factor affecting the markets patronized by traders in the council area and this accounts for about 17.53% of the total explained variance of the factor analysis. The study therefore recommends that there is need to provide community based transport services at subsidized rate for rural communities in Nigeria so as to enhance the accessibility of women to markets and participate in other productive activities in the rural areas of Nigeria.
REGIONAL DIFFERENTIATION IN AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT PATH ASSOCIATED WITH NATURAL AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTS: BASED ON 2000-2010 PROVINCIAL STATISTICAL DATA IN CHINA
Authors: Kawamura Yoshio , Bai Suxiang
Published: November 2020

Agriculture is characterized by its organic manner of production. Thus, the forms of agricultural production are heavily dependent on natural conditions (weather, geographic features, water supply, etc.), which are peculiar to regions or local conditions. The regionally peculiar characteristics of agriculture are also intensified by the social environment, that is, the lifestyle of the people in the region. Land, labor and capital, which are the essential inputs needed for production, vary qualitatively and quantitatively from region to region. The regional peculiarities bring a different type of development path to local agriculture. This is the basic reason why the same development theory or principle cannot be applied to agriculture although it could be applicable in the case of other industries such as manufacturing. This paper deals with the characteristics of local agricultural development at the provincial level of China, based on statistical analyses of two sets of three-years data of 2009, 2010 and 2011 as well as 1999, 2000 and 2001. The analysis showed clear regional differentiation among the provinces between land-productivity oriented type and labor-productivity oriented type of agricultural development.

Deriving from the postulation that learning strategies are shaped from a learning situation, which is inseparable from its socio-cultural context. A paradigm has shifted language learning strategies (LLSs) studies in the new perspective of situational-based research. Using a narrative approach, this study examined one female pre-service teacher of an English education major in occupying strategies to fulfill the learning needs. To meet with the data, semi-structured interviews were carried out for the participant through a series of interconnected questions. The results marked that the use of learning strategies varied in a distinct learning situation, including the strategies to achieve the learning goal as well as to encounter the obstacles in English learning. Thus, this study has emphasized the feasibility of LLSs in context. Suggestions were also presented at the end of this paper.

HIGHLIGHTS:

The use of strategies is varied in changing learning situation.

The appropriate strategies assist students in fulfilling the English learning needs.

The application of strategy training in EFL classroom is noteworthy because it is teachable.

This study examined the impact of the flipped classroom on the learning outcome of secondary school students in mathematics in Lagos, Nigeria. It examined the impact of a flipped classroom package (FCP) on post-test performance (PP) and retention performance (RP) of students in Mathematics; it also sought to determine the influence of gender on PP and RP of students towards learning mathematics in the flipped classroom (FC). This is in response to the search for means to reverse the poor performance of students in mathematics O’level West African Secondary School Certificate Examinations. The flipped classroom, an innovative teaching technique, was introduced as a possible corrective that could produce effective student learning engagement and performance. A Quasi-experimental design was adopted and 275 Senior secondary school (SSS) 2 Students, 147experimental and 128 as control (conventional) intact classes, constituted the purposive sampled population for the study. Three research instruments: Flipped Classroom Package, Lesson Note and Performance Test were validated by expects and used for the study. The instruments were also checked for reliability; and the inter-rater reliability coefficient of a developed FC package was 0.79; lesson note, 0.83; and test instrument 0.85. Four hypotheses were raised and tested after 6 weeks of the experiment. The results of the findings indicated that the flipped classroom encourages good performance in mathematics and should, thus, be encouraged in schools for being a student centred learning approach. The study concluses among others that teachers should be encouraged to attend seminars and workshops on the use of the approach for effective performance of the learners.
