Concept of sentimental tourism and its classification
Authors: Savranchuk Larisa
Published: November 2019

Upon learning available foreign and domestic scientific publications in the field of sentimental tourism, the authors noted the lack of unity in judgments international researchers. Taking into account the whole of present experience to the problem research nostalgic travels was formed its own concept of the concept of “sentimental tourism”, and similar to the classifications of tourism published by P. Putsenteylo and internal classification of the sentimental tourism Dale Russell; developed the internal classification of sentimental tourism by applying it in a diversity of views of Western scholars on sentimental tours and added to several new own terms. The article are characterized the features of sentimental tourism as a separate type of tourism, propose classification sentimental tourism, international cooperation and strengthening of interstate relations. For the territory of Ukraine most significant resource for the successful introduction and implementation of sentimental tourist tours is the high number of Ukrainian diaspora, which, according to various estimates, is the fourth number in the world. This fact indicates the presence of an extremely broad segment of the consumer market, which is and will be interested in the implementation of sentimental journeys to their own homeland or country of origin of their ancestors in the long run. Among other types of tourism, which attracting European tourists in our country, sentimental tourism at the level of the rural green tourism, requires the least investment for proper customer interest due to the nature of their motivational processes. In this regard, it is appropriate to initiate the review of priority development of this type of tourism, as it is able, at relatively low costs, to increased tourism revenues of the international character and to strengthen of relations with the European Community. Key words: sentimental (nostalgic) tourism; sentimental and territorial tourism, sentimental event tourism, visiting relatives and friends, sentimental domestic tourism, sentimental international tourism, sentimental ethnic tourism, sentimental and cognitive tourism.

Authors: Skliarska Оksana
Published: November 2019

The article analyses the reform proposals of administrative and territorial structure of Ukraine in the context of the impact on the development of settlement network, change status, functions and population settlements. The current problems of the settlement in Lviv region are studied, peripheral settlements and bands, formed as a result of its remoteness from administrative centres and transportation routes are stated. The analysis methods of forming local communities revealed that it does not take into account natural and geographical differences of rural location, historical features of creating a network of cities, population size and importance of preserving the functions of individual towns and large villages. Socio-geographical analysis of the proposed long-term plan of local communities is made. It is indicated that the consolidation will take place around regional centres and other urban areas, at least – around the large villages. As a result of the formation of only three or four communities in some areas there is a danger of degrade of remote small villages. It is reported that only 24 villages that will become the centres of community, have the prospect of further preserving their functional significance in the settlement system. Villages, that will not become the centres of community, but will be attached to the city, will lose the functions in servicing and the role in the resettlement. Financial capacity and infrastructure provision of the territorial community will depend on location and favourable socioeconomic and demographic potential of the community centres. Through the example of the new established 26 communities of Lviv region, large disparities in size, population, and appreciable problems of a new level administrative-territorial structure were revealed. Key words: decentralization, local community, resettlement, administrative-territorial system.

Published: November 2019

There are about eighty avalanche geocomplexes, which belong to different classes according to avalanche activity, in the mountain massif Chornohora. One of the main tasks is an investigation of natural conditions of avalanche formation because of snow mass slide process influence on the environment and human activities.
Snow-avalanche formation conditions within landscape complexes of Chornohora mountain massif in Ukrainian Carpathians, depending on group of factors (landscape structure, meteorological quantity and phenomenon and other), are considered. Special attention is paid to study the morphological structure
of snow and stratification structure of snow cover as the main avalanche slide factors. The landscape structure and relief of territory with avalanche activity are analyzed. All avalanche genetic types, which are identified in the Chornohora mountain massif, are located on the steep and very steep slope on old-glacial relief forms (slope steepness – 15–45° (Miller, 1966)).
Avalanche activity within research territory limits of the Pozhyzhevska snow-avalanche station was analyzed and short characteristic of avalanche subperiod during research time was presented. The dynamics of snow depth and snow cower structure, temperature regime of air and snow during research period was investigated.
The main indexes of meteorological phenomena, which are typical for the days when avalanche activity was identified, were determined. Analysis of meteorological quantity and phenomenon indexes is realized on the base of own research information and technical report of Pozhyzhevska snow-avalanche station.
Based on the results of the investigation natural conditions of snow avalanche slide of all genetic types (polygenetic (inducted by snowfall and blizzard) and epigenetic (inducted by the melt of snow – insolation and advection process)) were determined. The typical profile of snow cover, which is characterized by avalanche sliding process, is proposed for every genetic type of avalanche. The characteristics of snow profiles are presented in figures.

Published: November 2019

The purpose of this study was to examine differences in varus arm stress between baseball pitch types — fastballs versus a breaking ball of choice—with MotusBASEBALL’s motion capture arm sleeve. Twenty-eight males between the ages of 18 and 36 (21.4 ± 4.3) were asked to throw ten pitches of each pitch type — fastballs (n = 28), curveballs (n = 14), sliders (n = 14), and changeups (n = 18). Every subject threw fastballs and a breaking ball of their choice, and some subjects threw additional changeups. Sliders had the highest arm stress (54.6 ± 12.9 N·m) while curveballs had the lowest (46.8 ± 16.3 N·m). Fastball arm stress was 50.1 ± 16.8 N·m and changeup arm stress was 51.3 ± 15.5 N·m. There was no statistically significant difference between pitch types and arm stress (p-value range 0.08-0.92), although the proportion of outlier readings for arm stress was significant for sliders (proportion of outliers: 34%, p-value: 0.009 versus change-ups; p-value: 0.014 versus curveballs). In addition, pitch type was significant only in determining the velocity reading from the Motus App (p-value <.0001), and was not significant in determining arm speed, arm slot, or shoulder rotation.
Bayesian Rapid Optimal Adaptive Design (BROAD): Method and application distinguishing models of risky choice
Authors: Ray Debajyoti , Golovin Daniel , Krause Andreas , Camerer Colin
Published: November 2019

Economic surveys and experiments usually present fixed questions to respondents. Rapid computation now allows adaptively optimized questions, based on previous responses, to maximize expected information. We describe a novel method of this type introduced in computer science, and apply it experimentally to six theories of risky choice. The EC2 method creates equivalence classes, each consisting of a true theory and its noisy-response perturbations, and chooses questions with the goal of distinguishing between equivalence classes by cutting edges connecting them. The edge-cutting information measure is adaptively submodular, which enables a provable performance bound and “lazy” evaluation which saves computation. The experimental data show that most subjects, making only 30 choices, can be reliably classified as choosing according to EV or two variants of prospect theory. We also show that it is difficult for subjects to manipulate by misreporting preferences, and find no evidence of manipulation.

A Stochastic Multiscale Peridynamic Model for Corrosion-induced Fracture in Reinforced Concrete
Authors: Zhao Jiangming , Chen Ziguang , Mehrmashhadi Javad , Bobaru Florin
Published: November 2019

Concrete fracture caused by corrosion of reinforcing bars may cause subsequent structure failure. To better predict this process, we introduce a partially-homogenized stochastic peridynamic model with the simplest constitutive relation (linear elastic with brittle failure). The model links microscale information (phase volume fractions of mortar, aggregates, interfaces) to macroscale fracture behavior, while costing the same as a fully homogenized model. We show, and explain why a fully-homogenized peridynamic model fails to capture the correct concrete fracture modes/patterns, while the new model succeeds. The multiscale model predicts the evolution of fracture in reinforced concrete caused by corrosion products expansion in samples with a single or multiple rebars. Non-uniform expansion of corrosion products is enforced here as preset, incremental radial displacements. The computed fracture patterns and the order in which various cracks develop match what is seen in experiments. The model’s robustness is tested under different stochastic realizations and discretization grid types.

Kepemimpinan merupakan suatu proses interaksi antara seseorang pemimpin dengan sekelompok orang yang menyebabkan seseorang atau kelompok berbuat dengan sesuai kehendak . pemimpin adalah seorang individu yang memiliki sifat dan karakter yang diinginkan oleh rakyatnya. Teori kepribadian cenderung memandang kepemimpinan sebagai akibat pengaruh satu arah. Mengingat bahwa pimpinan mungkin memiliki kualiat-kualitas tertentu yang membedakan dirinya dengan para pengikutnta, maka biasanya ahli teori pribadi menyinggung karakteristik timbak balik atau reciprocal dan interaksi dari atau dalam situasi kepemimpinan.Kata personality sendiri berasal dari bahasa latin persona yang berarti topeng yang digunakan oleh para actor dalam suatu permainan atau pertunjukan. Disini para aktor menyembunyikan kepribadiannya yang asli, dan menampilkan dirinya sesuai dengan topeng yang digunakan. Konsep diri ( self concept ) adalah inti dari kepribadian dalam diri seseorang. Inti kepribadian individu punya peranan yang sangat penting dalam menentukan dan mengarahkan perkembangan kepribadian serta rilaku seseorang ditengah-tengah masyarakat.Kata kunci : nilai-nilai kepemimpina, kopetensi kepribadian kependidikan.AbstractLeadership is a process of interaction between a leader and a group of people that causes a person or group to do as desired. the leader is an individual who has the traits and character desired by his people. Personality theory tends to view leadership as a result of one-way influence. Given that the leader may have certain qualities that differentiate him from his followers, then usually the personal theorist alludes to reciprocal or reciprocal characteristics and interactions from or in leadership situations.The word personality itself comes from the Latin persona which means mask which is used by actors in a game or show. Here the actors hide their original personalities, and present themselves according to the masks used. The concept of self (self concept) is the core of personality in a person.

Gambling advertising and problem gambling: A content analysis of TV adverts from the 2018 World Cup
Authors: Newall Philip Warren Stirling , Walasek Lukasz , Ludvig Elliot Andrew
Published: November 2019

Policy makers interested in regulation of the gambling industry have predominantly focused on the frequency with which UK consumers are exposed to gambling marketing. Less attention has been paid to the content of gambling advertising, even though current regulatory codes state that gambling advertising content should not harm nor exploit problem gamblers or other vulnerable persons. Here, we investigate the content of “request-a-bet” TV adverts shown during the 2018 World Cup in the UK. Request-a-bet products allow gamblers to create their own bets with large potential payoffs, which are two established risk factors for problem gamblers. Overall, we found that 46 request-a-bet adverts were shown over 32 relevant soccer matches. Several adverts were designed to nudge gamblers through multiple channels toward bets with large potential payoffs, which problem gamblers might find especially alluring, and which yield high profit margins for the bookmakers. These results highlight relatively neglected concerns about advertising content which are relevant to the regulation of UK gambling advertising.

Sounds enhance visual cortical sensitivity for co-occurring visual signals. Previous research has demonstrated that this facilitation occurs through crossmodal modulations of cortical oscillatory activity. However, the neural origin of these signals and auditory information conveyed by this mechanism remain poorly understood. Using intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) in humans, we examined the sensitivity of visual cortex to three different forms of auditory information: rhythmic entrainment to sounds, auditory onset responses, and auditory offset responses. Subcortical auditory neurons exhibit frequency following behaviors in response to amplitude-modulated sounds, with oscillatory activity entrained at the rhythmic rate of the auditory signal. This auditory response is paralleled in the visual system by the entrainment of visual neurons to the rhythmic rate of flashing strobe lights. In contrast, ~20% of neurons in auditory cortex do not entrain to amplitude modulations but respond only to the onsets and/or offsets of auditory stimuli. In visual cortex, amplitude-modulated sounds elicited transient onset and offset responses in multiple areas, but no entrainment to the sounds’ modulations frequencies. These results suggest that auditory information conveyed to visual cortex does not include temporally fine-grained stimulus dynamics encoded by the auditory midbrain and thalamus but, rather, a temporally segmented representation of auditory events that emerges only in auditory cortex. Crossmodal responses were maximal in low-level visual cortex, potentially implicating a direct pathway for rapid interactions between low-to-mid-level auditory and visual cortices. This mechanism may facilitate perception by time-locking visual computations to environmental events marked by discontinuities in auditory input.
Betting on intuitive longshots

Published: November 2019

Sports betting markets are a laboratory for studying probabilistic judgments in the field. Here we present a study of a new gambling product that allows customers to easily design custom bets via Twitter: a “request-a-bet” service. We use large volumes of Twitter data to demonstrate that soccer bettors use request-a-bet services to create “intuitive longshots” – combinations of (individually) representative events with high potential winnings. Pairing these requests with historical data illustrated that these requested bets would lead to substantially higher losses than conventional soccer bets. Compared to conventional sports betting products, these preferences are associated with two ordinarily contrasting cognitive biases: the overweighting of small probabilities, and the representativeness of individual events. Moreover, these results suggest that more datasets of actual sports betting behavior should be shared with researchers to fully investigate the welfare effects of novel sports betting products.

Published: November 2019

Background: The expansion of online gambling in the UK has been accompanied by an increase in the number of novel betting products, particularly for soccer. The present research investigates which types of sports bettors are the most likely to use novel gambling products called ‘custom sports bets’ (CSBs), which allow gamblers to create their own unique bets.Method: A large-scale, cross-sectional survey of online sports/horse racing bettors (N = 789, 32.7% female). The survey collected two measures of CSB usage and four validated gambling measures: the Problem Gambling Severity Index, the Gambling Related Cognition Illusion of Control Scale, the Short Gambling Harm Screen, and the Consumption Screen for Problem Gambling.Results: Overall, 62.0% of participants reported having used a CSB, and those who had used a CSB did so on an average of 29.4 days over the last year. Overall, 16.0% of participants who had used a CSB were current problem gamblers, compared to 6.7% among those who had not. CSB users reported an average of 2.3 out of 10 possible gambling harms, compared to 1.5 harms for those who had not used a CSB. The illusion of control scale was significantly positively correlated with whether participants had ever used a CSB before, but not with past year frequency of CSB usage. The usage of CSB products was most strongly associated with the frequency of gambling consumption.Conclusions: Overall, these findings suggest that CSB products raise distinctive concerns around consumer protection for frequent sports bettors which deserve further investigation.

Translation of professional vocabulary forms the basis of scientific translation, is an important means of intercultural communication, and constantly attracts the attention of researchers, actualization of the issue of foreign language scientific communication and cooperation. Of particular relevance is the acquisition of the process of comparative studies that provide an analytical component in the description and description of two or more educational systems, and therefore an important role is played by the English competence of the researcher. The study presents the peculiarities of the translation of abbreviations of educational and pedagogical organizations and institutions of the EU countries. The author established that the abbreviations of pedagogical subjects can be divided into three main groups: the names of organizations, structures, documents; abbreviations used to indicate the educational process and related methodological and methodological terms; reductions used in professional communication between educators, academics and practitioners. Since the uniqueness of stable phrases.

The study also found that the main features of the translation of abbreviations of educational and pedagogical organizations of the European Union are: transformation by adding or lowering words, differences in the use of singular and plural in the English and Ukrainian languages, the difference between the translation of individual abstract concepts, the names of individual educational organizations , names of some organizations that carry out educational policy and influence the specifics of the functioning of educational institutions, differences in the expression of collective concepts. The author determines that the best ways of translating abbreviations of educational and pedagogical organizations of the European Union into the Ukrainian language are: translation of the corresponding full form of a word or phrase, direct borrowing method, descriptive method, transcoding of the abbreviation.
TRANSFORMATION POTENTIAL OF SMALL PROSE IN THE HISTORIC AND LITERARY PROCESS (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF ARTISTIC WORK BY VASYL STEFANYK)
Authors: Golod N. S.
Published: November 2019

The article is dedicated to the historic and theoretic literary analysis of the works of Ukrainian and foreign researchers, that studied the problem of transformation potential of the small prose genres in the synchronic and diachronic aspects. A review is made of the main approaches towards studying the problem of the kinship of a short story with epic and dramatic kin of literature. It has been found out: the majority of the researchers think that the typology of genres according to their kin has been sustained only in classicism with its demand for purity and canonicity of the literary forms, and in such literary streams like romanticism, realism, modernism, the genres emerge on the crossing of lyrics, epos and drama. Practically all of the researchers of the short story point out the concentration and laconicity of the genre of short story. This feature is usually connected to the manifestation of the dramatization in the epic genre as a whole. The substance of life in the end of XIX - at the beginning of the XX centuries is characterized by the acceleration of the civilized progress as well as by the intensifying of the time and space bonds, both in Ukraine and the World. These processes are determined by the change in the social and economic formations, accomplishments of the scientific and technical progress, development and achievements in the natural and technical branches of scientific knowledge, postulates of the philosophy of positivism, etc. Therefore, a concentration has been reflected in the peculiarities of the then spiritual, cultural and literary life. Under such circumstances the small prose, and short stories in particular, turned out to be the most operative and productive "content form". The success of Ukrainian small prose of the mentioned period to a great extend has been triggered both by the dialectic unity of the traditions and novelty of the national literary process, and the subjective conditions connected with the talent of the representatives of letters as well as the flexibility, experimental nature and an inclination to transformation by the leading genres of small prose. So in the article, a conclusion is made about the resonance between the novelty attempt of an individual artistic method of Vasyl Stefanyk and the transformation potential of short story as a genre.
