Authors: Dutta Munmi , Bhuyan Mantu , Kalita Sarbeswar
Published: June 2022

A pot culture experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of nickel on growth and biochemical parameters of castor bean (Ricinus communis L.). Castor seedlings were grown in control conditions or in soil amended with 50, 100, 300 and 500 mg kg‑1 of Ni. Plants were harvested after 60 days of sowing. A significant decrease in growth, and concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoids were observed with increasing concentrations of Ni. Leaf proline and malondialdehyde concentration increased considerably in response to Ni application. It was observed that the protein concentration in the leaves of castor plants decreased significantly with the increase in Ni concentrations in soil. An increase in protein content and enzyme activities was observed at increasing Ni concentration in soil. Significant changes in the antioxidative enzyme activities were observed in R. communis treated with varying Ni doses. It was found that with increasing concentrations of Ni in soil, the activity of the enzymes also increased. This suggests that the increase of enzyme activity due to Ni toxicity might play a role in the defence response of R. communis.

LEARNING PRODUCING NEGOTIATION TEXT USING PROJECT BASED LEARNING METHODS IN X CLASS VOCATIONAL SCHOOL
Authors: Rejeki Wulan Sri
Published: June 2022

This research is entitled "Learning to Produce Negotiated Texts Using Project-Based Learning Methods in Class X Students of the 2019/2020 Academic Year". This research is motivated by learning to produce negotiation text in SMK. In general, not all students can produce negotiating texts. Only a few students can write negotiation texts, this is because students have different levels. Students find it very difficult to say what to write in producing a negotiating text. Therefore, students need production skills by grouping, making plans for completing project assignments and explaining material to produce negotiating texts by the teacher. The author formulates the following problems: 1) Is the project-based learning method effective in producing negotiating text for class X students? 2) Can project-based learning methods improve the ability of class X students in learning to produce negotiation texts? 3) Are there differences in students' learning abilities before and after using project-based learning methods in producing negotiating text in class X students? The method used in this research is the experimental method. The experimental method is used to determine the effectiveness of using project-based learning methods in learning to produce negotiating texts. The type of method used in this research is Quasi-Experimental (Quasi-Experimental) in the form of Nonequivalent control group design, where the effect or effect of a treatment is decided based on the differences in the results of the pretest and posttest on the experimental class and the control class. The research technique used in this research is a literature study, observation, and testing. The results of the difference in the mean value of the pretest and posttest proved an increase in the ability of the experimental class students by 78.55 in the initial test and the average score of the final test was 85.16 in producing negative texts. While the control class using the assignment method obtained an average score of 68.71 in the initial test and an average value of 71.61 in the final test. The data were processed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistical test with the help of MINITAB 14 software. Based on the results of the study, there were differences in students' abilities before and after using the method, meaning that the project-based learning method was more effective than learning using the assignment method.

The predictability of species contributions to ecosystem stability under multiple stressors
Authors: White Lydia , O'Connor Nessa , Gilson Abby , Donohue Ian
Published: June 2022

Simultaneous exposure to multiple stressors potentially complicates
enormously the challenge of predicting ecological responses to global
environmental change. Here, we show that, though the contributions of
individual species and functional groups to ecosystem stability may vary
under different disturbance types, their contributions to stability
under combined stressors can nonetheless frequently be predicted from
their contributions under the individual disturbances acting in
isolation. By disturbing natural rocky shore communities experimentally
with nutrients and sediments and simultaneously simulating extinction of
predatory whelks and grazing consumers both separately and in
combination, we found that trophic position does not, however, appear to
be a useful general predictor of species contributions to stability. We
conclude that quantifying contributions of key species and functional
groups to stability across a range of environmental contexts may provide
a pathway towards predicting the multifaceted responses of ecosystems to
distinct combinations of stressors acting simultaneously.

Metoclopramide intoxication through breast milk
Authors: Bellouard Marie , Abe Emuri , Durrleman Chloé , Alvarez Jean-Claude
Published: June 2022

We report a case of intoxication by metoclopramide, an antiemetic
neuroleptic, in a breastfed child, causing an extrapyramidal syndrome. A
21-week-old breastfed child was brought to the pediatric neurology
consultation following two episodes of unexplained dystonia. The
anamnesis revealed that the mother had taken a rectal suppository of
metoclopramide (10 mg) 48 hours before the first episode. The father was
also treated by paracetamol codeine for capsulitis and the child had
received paracetamol for teething. Blood toxicology analyses were
performed at the first episode. A 3-cm strand of brown hair was
collected during the consultation, one month after the second episode.
The child had no further episodes of dystonia since the second event.
The child’s blood toxicology analysis revealed the presence of
metoclopramide at a concentration of 8 ng/mL. Hair analysis revealed
metoclopramide at a relatively high concentration, with paracetamol,
lidocaine, diazepam and nordazepam, and codeine. The presence of
diazepam can be explained by medical care. The low concentration of
codeine without its metabolite morphine, may suggest an external
contamination by the environment, contact with people who had consumed
this molecule, especially the child’s father. The interpretation of hair
analysis in infants remains nevertheless delicate to discriminate
consumption from environmental contamination. The presence of
metoclopramide in the blood and hair is compatible with a passage of
breast milk to the child. According to the literature, less than 5% of
the maternal dose is found in the child. No case of intoxication through
breast milk has been described, to our knowledge.

Genetic variation in mineral profiles, yield contributing agronomic traits, and foliage yield of stem amaranth
Authors: Sarker Umakanta , Azam Md.Golam , Talukder Md.
Published: June 2022

The study was evaluated to estimate mineral profiles and find out selection
criteria for high foliage yielding cultivars by assessing the magnitude of
genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance, association, and
contribution of characters of sixteen stem amaranth genotypes in a
randomized block design with three replications. Based on high heritability
and high GA and GAPM and close values between Vg vs. Vp and GCV vs. PCV, all
the traits could be selected to improve the foliage yield of stem amaranth.
A significant and desirable positive correlation was observed for Fe, Ca,
Mn, K, and leaves plant-1 both at genotypic and phenotypic levels. These
five traits could be selected for improving the foliage yield of stem
amaranth as these traits exhibited less influence on the environment. The
insignificant genotypic correlation values were observed between mineral vs.
mineral and mineral vs. foliage yield and yield contributing agronomic
traits, which indicate that selection for high mineral content might be
possible without compromising yield loss. A high to moderate direct effect
along with a significant correlation was found in Fe, K, Ca, and Mn. Fe, K,
Ca, and Mn had the most significant contribution to foliage yield of stem
amaranth as these traits exhibited considerable positive direct effects and
significant correlation coefficients on foliage yield. The accessions AS7,
AS4, AS5, AS14, and AS16 had high foliage yields containing moderate to high
mineral profiles. These five accessions could be selected as high-yielding
cultivars. Selection could be made based on Fe, K, Ca, and Mn content to
improve stem amaranth. The accessions AS7, AS4, AS5, AS14, and AS16 could be
used as high foliage yielding and mineral profiles enrich cultivars.
Genomic characterization and phytostimulative effect of a novel Serratia species
Authors: Çetinkaya Agit , Baysal Ömür , Silme Ragıp , Azim Kamran , Saleem Faizan
Published: June 2022

Some of non-pathogenic bacteria are effective biocontrol agents and plant
growth inducers besides its degradative property on polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAH). Herein, we report a novel candidate Serratia species
isolated in the purpose of PAH degradation, with its plant-growth-promoting
and antifungal effect against Phytophthora infestans. Properties of
bacterium determined by antifungal and phytostimulation assay under in vitro
conditions displayed production of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), chitinase and
endoglucanase/cellulase activity. The identification of bacterium using
whole-genome shotgun sequencing output also showed that the novel strain
belongs to new Serratia species harboring the genes responsible for
different secondary metabolites at the genomic level. Genome-wide analysis
suggested a new candidate Serratia species (strain AGBY19) showing, in some
extend, genetic relation with Serratia fonticola at molecular phylogeny
level, which inhibits the growth of phytopathogenic fungi Phytophthora
infestans by 73% compared to the control observed in vitro conditions. This
strain colonised at the rhizosphere of tomato plant during in vivo host
plant cultivation assay that remarkably enhanced the root growth. It causes
the production of IAA hormone and cell wall degrading enzymes (chitinase,
endoglucanase/cellulase). Further genome analyses of AGBY19 revealed
different gene clusters comprising flanked regions associated with the
production of secondary metabolites. These data eventually have provided its
biocontrol properties and plant-growth inducer effect with globally
potential to use for agricultural production.

Published: June 2022

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of chlorhexidine
digluconate solution (CHX) as an adjunct to nonsurgical therapy (NPT) of
patients with chronic periodontitis (CP), by analyzing the presence and
quantity of periopathogenic microorganisms in subgingival biofilm. DNA was
extracted from the subgingival biofilm obtained from 40 patients with CP
divided into two groups (NPT+CHX and NPT alone as control) at baseline and 2
months after the therapy. The presence of selected periodontal pathogens (A.
actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis, E. corrodens, T. denticola, and T.
forsythia) was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), while total
bacterial load was assessed by quantitative PCR. The incidence of
microorganisms decreased following treatment, both with NPT+CHX and NPT
alone, but without reaching statistically significant difference in the NPT
group. In the NPT+CHX group, a significant reduction of prevalence of two
species: T. denticola (P = 0.008) and T. forsythia (P = 0.016), as well as
of total microorganism count (P = 0.002) was observed two months after
treatment. In conclusion, the present findings support the use of CHX as
adjunctive therapy in CP.

Currently, machine learning algorithms (ML) are increasingly integrated into everyday life. There are many areas of modern life where classification methods are already used. Methods taking into account previous predictions and errors that are calculated as a result of data integration to obtain forecasts for obtaining the classification result are investigated. A general overview of classification methods is conducted. Experiments on machine learning algorithms for multimodal data are performed. It is important to consider all the characteristics of metrics and features when using ML algorithms to predict multimodal data. The main advantages and disadvantages of Gradient Boosting, Random Forest, Logistic Regression and XGBoost algorithms are analyzed in the work.
Criterion modelling of the process of redundancy of renewable energy sources power generation instability by electrochemical accumulators
Authors:   Vinnytsia National Technical University, Lezhniuk Petro , Komar Viacheslav ,   Vinnytsia National Technical University, Rubanenko Olena ,   Vinnytsia National Technical University
Published: June 2022

The paper analyzes the methods and ways for the redundancy of renewable energy sources (RESs) instability in electric power systems (PS). It is shown that these can be maneuverable capacities, in particular, thermal and hydropower plants, accumulators, hydrogen technologies, biogas plants. It is substantiated that, for various reasons, for the RESs to be developed and their capacity to be increased in power systems, electrochemical accumulators and highly maneuverable capacities existing in the PS are the most prepared for implementation. Mathematical models based on similarity theory and the criterion method have been developed for them. This approach is preferable due to the fact that with the minimum available information, it provides the opportunity to compare different ways of compensation of RESs generation instability, to assess their proportionality, as well as to determine the sensitivity of costs to the capacity of the redundancy methods. Criterion models which allow us to design dependences of the costs for the redundancy of RESs generation instability on the capacity of electrochemical accumulators, on the capacity of the system reserve, as well as on the capacity of power lines have been formed. Such dependencies make it possible to more reasonably choose certain methods of redundancy in accordance with the characteristics and requirements of PS.
Electrical interaction of electron-proton tandem
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Tchaban Vasyl
Published: June 2022

Based on the adapted Coulomb's law for the case of moving masses, taking into account the finite velocity of electric field propagation, differential equations of the electromechanical state of the electron-proton tandem are obtained. The real states are simulated, as well as a number of unreal transition states of electron capture by a proton into its own orbit. Cont­rary to the prohibitions of quantum physics in the field of microworld, the mathematical concept of an electro­me­chanical black hole with a radius m similar to that taking place in celestial mecha­nics has been introduced. The transients indicating the collapse of the laws of electricity and mechanics at distances r(t) < rem are simulated. A discussion has been started on this issue.
Research of energetics of quantamobile acceleration
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Kotikov Ju. G.
Published: June 2022

The concept of a perspective class of vehicles - quantomobiles realizing draught (thrust) of the quantum engine (QE) - demands consideration of energetics of vehicle motion. In the Simulink-model of near-ground quantomobile acceleration (MNGQA) developed by the author, there has been worked out a scheme of the two-parameter control by force of the thrust: according to the size of the thrust vector and to the vector slope angle. The subsystem MNGQA Energetics allows to investigate formation of performance and power inputs at quantomobile motion simulation. On the basis of the hypothetical quantomobile model (analogue of the lorry KamAZ-4326), there are realized numerical examples of the vehicle motion acceleration, which allows to estimate the role of the scheme of controlling thrust in formation of the acceleration efficiency and to reveal the features of calculation of power inputs on longitudinal motion of the vehicle with its vertical lifting. MNGQA is considered as a basis for development of quantomobile motion modeling in random conditions.
Structure and functioning of the DVRE system («Driver-Vehicle-Road-Environment»)
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Podoprigora N. V.
Published: June 2022

The article presents the research results dealing with information aspects of the DVRE system («Driver-Vehicle-Road-Environment»). There has been worked out a unified information model of interaction of the driver (D) with other links of the «DVRE» system. The author analyzes the information signals coming to the driver from the controlled vehicle (V), the road (R), the environment (E), and other road traffic participants (RTP). There are constructed channels of information exchange between the links and individual subsystems. The classic DVRE system («Driver-Vehicle-Road-Environment»), taking into account the proposed changes, is regarded by the author as a unified holistic system RTP-V-R-E («Road Traffic Participants-Vehicle -Road-Environment»). Scientific novelty lies in the possibility of analyzing and modeling the information exchange between the driver (D) and other subsystems of the RTP-V-R-E system («Road Traffic Participants-Vehicle-Road-Environment») in order to forecast and prevent road traffic accidents.
The effect of freezing and thawing cycles on the load-bearing capacity of eccentrically compressed elements of reinforced concrete structures
Authors:   Kostroma State Agricultural Academy, Plyusnin M. G.
Published: June 2022

As a result of calculations in a probabilistic formulation, the initial data for which were formed in accordance with the results of the experiment, the following is shown. The impact degree of freezing and thawing cycles on the bearing capacity of eccentrically compressed elements of reinforced concrete structures depends on such structural factors as longitudinal force eccentricity, flexibility and percentage of longitudinal reinforcement. The identified features must be taken into account when calculating and designing elements of reinforced concrete structures subjected to eccentric compression under conditions of freezing and thawing cycles.

Methods of forecasting construction duration can be divided into two classes: firstly, the extrapolation methods, the essence of which is to transfer the results of the current state of the system to its future state based on taking certain characteristics as invariants, and secondly, forecasting methods based on regression determination of the functional relationship between delays in performing individual works and the total construction delay. These methods can be implemented using two different models: multiple regression analysis and neural network modeling. However, to choose one of the models, it should be kept in mind that the accuracy of the prediction is affected by the non-linearity between the total construction delay and the delays of performing individual works. The presented study has shown that nonlinearity is a constant attribute of the estimated work schedules, as demonstrated by the example of calculating a schedule based on the principles of stream-type construction organization. A comparison of the linear regression analysis apparatus and the neural network modeling apparatus showed that the average values of the relative deviations for the two-layer and three-layer perceptrons become smaller than the values calculated using multiple linear regression. And for the three-layer perceptron, these values are guaranteed to be lower than similar values obtained using the multiple linear approximation apparatus.

The article presents the study results of the thermal conductivity of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) on a matrix of fine-grained concrete with different types of steel fibers and different content of fibers. It is shown, that with an increase in the volume content of steel fiber, the thermal conductivity coefficient of SFRC, depending on the diameter of the fiber, can either increase or decrease compared to the thermal conductivity coefficient of the matrix. The obtained result is explained based on the influence of both the ratio between the wavelength of infrared (thermal) radiation and the diameter of the steel fiber and the conditions of thermal flow passage through the fiber-matrix boundary on the thermal flow propagation.

Alvar Aallon Säynätsalon kunnantalo hybridimaisemassa
Authors: Malmberg Jonas , Kummala Petteri
Published: June 2022

Säynätsalon kunnantalo (1952) on Alvar Aallon (1898–1976) arkkitehtuurin keskeinen merkkiteos. Vähälle huomiolle on jäänyt jo 1940-luvun alussa alkanut Aallon tiivis yhteistyö kunnan kanssa. Hän laati useita asemakaavoja, joista tärkeimmät koskivat keskustan uudelleenjärjestelyä. Aalto laati keskuksesta useita vaihtoehtoja, mutta perusajatus säilyi: keskeisaihe oli kiilamaisen kolmion muodostama ”Piazza triangolare”. Se jalostui avoimesta torista metsäiseksi aukioksi. Tarkastelemme Piazza triangolarea hybridimaiseman käsitteen kautta nojaten Bruno Latourin ajatukseen hybridistä ihmisen luoman ja luonnollisen välimuotona. Hybridimaisemana se rinnastuu etenkin kunnantalon maastonmuotojaan myöten keinotekoisesti rakennettuun sisäpihaan. Kaavojen sekä toteuttamatta jääneiden rakennusten valossa tulkinta ”Aallon Säynätsalosta” syventyy. Artikkeli syventää tulkintoja Aallon maisemakäsityksestä sekä avaa hybridimaiseman käsitteen uusia avulla näkökulmia Aallon suunnittelun erityispiirteisiin.
Alvar Aallon koneajan puutarha
Authors: Mäkelä Asko
Published: June 2022

Tutkin Alvar Aallon Paimion tuberkuloosiparantolan päärakennuksen viereisen puutarhan symboliikkaa ja kytköksiä muihin taiteisiin. Tässä päärakennus, Geometrinen puutarha ja ruumishuone, Ruusukellari muodostavat kokonaisuuden. Geometrinen puutarha on ainutlaatuinen esimerkki modernin funktionaalisen puutarhan avantgardesta. Siinä Kesähallien terassointi muuttui potilaiden kävelyjä varten puutarhakäytäväksi, joka muistuttaa painokoneen sivua, filmin kuljetinta, liukuhihnaa, tai taljaa, josta löytyy inspiraatiolähde Aallon kirjastosta. Osoitan Dante Alighierin Jumalaisen näytelmän puutarhan subtekstiksi. Ruusukellarin muodon olen johtanut Simbergin teokseen Tuonelan portilla. Myös konstruktivismista, teknologian historiasta ja abstraktista taiteesta johdetut aiheet johtivat puutarhan muotoon ja sen symboliikkaan. Esoteerisilla aatteilla oli ehkä rooli alueen suunnittelun taustaideana. Tulkinnassa päärakennus vertautuu Paratiisiin. Geometrinen puutarha on Kiirastuli, josta saattoi päätyä joko Paratiisiin tai polun päässä odottavaan Ruusukellariin, Tuonelaan. Aalto loi puutarhaan koneajan ristiriitaisuutta esittämällä Geometrisen puutarhan käytävän taljana tai liukuhihnana elämän ja kuoleman välissä.
Kuvataiteilija Birger Carlstedtin ateljeekodit modernin taiteilijuuden esityksinä
Authors: Aaltonen Susanna
Published: June 2022

Artikkeli käsittelee kuvataiteilijana, taideteollisena suunnittelijana ja arkkitehtinakin toimineen Birger Carlstedtin (1907–1975) 1930-luvun vaihteessa itselleen suunnittelemia ateljeekoteja ja -talo Villa Fyrenäsiä. Kotien toistuvina elementteinä olivat Marcel Breuerin Wassily-tuolit, omat maalaukset ja itsesuunnittelut abstraktikuvioiset matot. Selvitän, mikä merkitys näillä julkisuudessa esitellyillä, mutta sittemmin tutkimushistoriassa katveeseen jääneillä kodeilla oli Carlstedtin taiteilijakuvassa. Teoreettisena lähtökohtana on Alina Paynen tutkimus, jossa modernismi määritellään 1800-luvulta alkaneen tradition jatkumona. Toisena lähtökohtana on Robin Schuldenfrein Bauhaus-tutkimus, jossa liikkeen ideologian 1920-luvun toteutumat nähdään harvalukuisina kuvallisina ja elitistisinä esityksinä. Liitän Carlstedtin modernit kodit tähän historialliseen jatkumoon ja kansainväliseen ilmiökenttään. Esitän, että koteja voi pitää esimerkkeinä Carlstedtin teoreettisesta ajattelusta. Analyysi tuo esiin kuvataiteen, muotoilun ja arkkitehtuurin keskinäisiä positioita niin Carlstedtin taiteilijuudessa kuin sisustusten historiassa. Kodit olivat henkilökohtaista elämää varten suunniteltuja, ja samalla ajassaan harvinaisia performatiivisia esityksiä siitä, miltä modernin kodin tulisi näyttää. Aineistona on kotimaisessa Domus-lehdessä vuosina 1930 ja 1933 julkaistut kotien esittelyt ja materiaalia, joka kuuluu Amos Andersonin taidemuseon/Amos Rexin Carlstedtin kokoelmaan.

Authors: Seppälä Tanja
Published: June 2022

Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelen, millaisen suomen kielen taidon opiskelijat saavuttavat kotoutumiskoulutuksessa. Lisäksi analysoin, miten koulutustausta ja suomen kielen lähtötaitotaso ovat yhteydessä kielenoppimiseen. Aineisto on kerätty pääasiassa haastattelemalla 33:a osallistujaa ja poimimalla heistä tietoja Koulutusportti-rekisteristä. Metodeina ovat kuvaileva tilastollinen analyysi sekä khiin neliö -testi ja Spearmanin järjestyskorrelaatiokertoimen analyysi, joiden tuloksia täydennän tiedoilla yksittäisistä opiskelijoista.

Tutkimustulokset vastaavat aiempia selvityksiä: kotoutumiskoulutuksen aikana vain osa opiskelijoista saavutti kotoutumislaissa asetetun kielitaitotavoitteen B1.1. Tässä tutkimuksessa kirjoittaminen oli arvioiduista neljästä osa-alueesta haastavin. Osallistujien koulutustausta on yhteydessä saavutettuihin taitotasoihin, sillä peruskoulun tai ammatillisen koulutuksen suorittaneiden oppimistulokset olivat matalampia kuin korkeakoulututkinnon suorittaneiden tulokset. Kymmenen osallistujaa osasi suomea ennen koulutusta, ja heidän lähtökielitaitonsa ennusti saavutettuja suullisia kielitaitotasoja.

Tuloksilla on merkitystä kotoutumiskoulutuksen järjestämiselle ja arvioinnille. Ne tukevat sitä, että opetuksen organisoimisessa ja arvioimisessa on tärkeää huomioida koulutustaustan vaikutus oppimiseen. Lisäksi koulutuksen onnistumista ei pitäisi arvioida epärealistisen tavoitetason saavuttamisen näkökulmasta. Koulutusportti rekisteriä käytettäessä tulee puolestaan ottaa huomioon, että usean osallistujan osalta haastattelulla saadut koulutustaustatiedot erosivat rekisteritiedoista.
Jaetut empaattiset tunteet kirjallisuuspiirissä
Authors: Voutilainen Liisa
Published: June 2022

Kaunokirjallisuuden lukeminen on liitetty empatiakykyyn. Tässä artikkelissa kysyn, miten kirjallisuuden herättämät empaattiset tunteet ilmenevät kirjallisuuden sosiaalisessa vastaanotossa. Tutkimuksen aineistona on yhteisöllisessä asuinkorttelissa järjestetyn kirjallisuuspiirin kokoontumisten (4) videonauhoitukset ja menetelmänä keskustelunanalyysi. Kuvaan kolmea vuorovaikutuksellista keinoa, jolla kirjan henkilöihin kohdistuvaa empatiaa jaetaan ryhmässä: piiriläisten kannanottoja, kirjallisuuspiirin vetäjän ymmärrysehdokkaita sekä topikaalisia siirtymiä kirjan ulkopuoliseen maailmaan. Tutkimus ehdottaa, että yksilön tunteiden tavoin myös empatiaa voidaan ilmaista ja jakaa kollektiivisesti. Tutkimuksen tulokset tukevat aiemmassa tutkimuksessa kuvattua kirjallisuuspiirin keskustelujen institutionaalista luonnetta toisaalta analyyttisen puheen ja toisaalta oman lukukokemuksen ja kirjan ulkopuolisen maailman kuvailun vaihteluna.

Published: June 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é construir um protocolo avaliativo como proposta de avaliação da aprendizagem para a área da Educação Física escolar, de acordo com a dimensão procedimental, tendo a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) norteando esse processo de construção. Listamos, como objetivos específicos, realizar uma revisão teórica sobre a avaliação da aprendizagem em Educação e na Educação Física, sob a perspectiva da dimensão procedimental; identificar instrumentos e formas de avaliação da aprendizagem com base nas dimensões procedimentais; e construir o protocolo avaliativo conforme o referencial teórico estudado e a BNCC. Ressaltamos que esse protocolo deve ser entendido como um norte, um orientador e não como algo fechado e condensador de todo conhecimento que o aluno pode adquirir em relação ao conteúdo trabalhado. Cada docente deverá adequar esse protocolo de acordo com a realidade e as vivências de seus alunos. Outrossim, ele deve funcionar como uma referência se o aluno alcançou ou não os objetivos de aprendizagem do conteúdo trabalhado, com o intuito de que o professor possa ter um diagnóstico da aprendizagem para intervir de forma propositiva para que o discente consiga apreender os conhecimentos inerentes a esse conteúdo.

Many transactions, nowadays such as banking, transportations, online shopping and bills payments, are implemented using mobile payment. To date, many mobile payment services are available in Malaysia, with companies offering their services competitively. However, adoption rates in Malaysia are considered slow due to many reasons. This study investigates the factors that affect consumer intention to use mobile payment based on QR code technology. A proposed model based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) model was adapted to identify the factors that affect the use of mobile payments. A survey instrument was developed based on the proposed model. Data were collected from 50 consumers who used QR code mobile payments in Klang Valley. The quantitative analysis method was adopted and the SPSS statistical tool was used to analyze the data using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Results have shown that several factors significantly affect consumer intention to use QR code-based payment namely performance expectancy, effort expectancy, hedonic motivation, habit, and trust. This study provides meaningful insight on the reasons why consumers used QR codebased payment.

Programming is one of the most advanced and valuable skills increasingly adopted by students these days. Learning a programming language is important as it helps to improve the ability to automate, collect, handle, correctly interpret data and information. However, some students have difficulties to internalize the concepts and master the programming skills. Consequently, students tend to perceive programming course as a difficult subject. The objective of this paper is to present the design and implementation of a computer game application that focused on JAVA programming and Bloom’s taxonomy to enhance the students’ understanding. To evaluate the JAVA game application, functional and usability testing have been conducted that involved students from the Diploma of Computer Sciences Program in Universiti Teknologi MARA, Perak, Malaysia. The results were very encouraging as majority of students were satisfied with the JAVA game application by means of programming skill improvement and usability acceptance.
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EDUCATING IN THE CONTEXT OF THE NEED OF SHAPING ESTHETIC CULTURE AT AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
Authors: Kordwski Miroslaw
Published: June 2022

The contemporary world demands from us the constant learning and stimulating the social and professional activity. Such actions should be introduced as early as possible, applied to little children, at nurseries and schools since “As the twig is bent...” That is why we should focus on the comprehensive development of a child but take into account their individual needs. The importance of music in this area is crucial because music is, among other things, harmony. Its influence on psychosomatic system was proved in the ancient times and it is an obvious fact. The relations with music has a substantial influence on development of personality, the comprehensive development of a child, and in the future — of an adult. That is why such activities should be introduced at the earliest. It is significant to maintain the importance of individual human being because only such approach can result in development. Nothing should be imposed. There cannot be any randomness. The size and proportions should be applied to the real needs, there cannot be redundancy of experiences, as in other areas-there should be moderation. In all the activities a school plays a very important role, but not always we can observe a balance between curricular and extra curricular classes. It is possible to observe the imposing of common patterns and standards which results not in development but in impediment of individual creativity. Rising of esthetic sensitivity
should be carried in competent way at the earliest age and in such a way the abilities to retrieve he impressions by means of senses. And here the generally understood art should be the means of shaping the personality because the relation with art leads to comprehensive development of an individual human being.

Having conducted the Brass Orchestra at Vocational Fire Brigade at Cultural Centre in Koronowo I noticed all these phenomena. Playing in the orchestra is not only musical education but also developing such qualities as responsibility, punctuality, respect to a conductor and to the other participants, it means also learning history, arousing patriotism as well as the change of being sensitive to music, personal development and possibility of meeting other people, making acquaintances and forming friendships and, in the end- the sense of self-worth.

MACHINE TRANSLATION, MACHINE TRANSLATION SYSTEMS AND THEIR SPECIFICATIONS

The article is devoted to the study of machine translation, machine translation systems and their specificity. The relevance of the work is determined by fast and strong changes of auto-translators and sharply increasing, qualitatively changing needs. The aim of the study is to consider the translation of scientific and technical texts by machine translators without the participation of a professional translator. We use them in business correspondence, for informal communication with friends from other countries, on foreign trips.
While having a number of advantages, they also have many disadvantages. The main problem raised in this article is whether a computer can completely replace a person. Answering this question, we come to the conclusion that such a replacement is impossible at the present stage of technology development. Machine translation is not yet capable of fully translating phraseological units and slang. The computer does not take into account the peculiarities of the context, the specifics of the construction of sentences, irony and humor. Only a person can convey all the nuances of the language, play on words, the author’s style. In some areas, even the most accurate and correct translation of a computer is subject to multiple human checks. This applies to the translation of medical topics, legal documents and texts, where the cost of an error can be very high, up to a human life. The same sad situation develops in the translation of works of art, in which, in addition to meaning, it is necessary to convey emotions, expression, imagery. In addition, the style of the work, culture, era, wordplay, humor should be preserved. Not every professional translator can do this. Even more difficult is the task of a translator working on a poetic form, where it is necessary to preserve both the meaning, and also the rhythm, tact, metaphor.
