Software-defined data protection
Authors: István Zsolt , Ponnapalli Soujanya , Chidambaram Vijay
Published: April 2021

Most modern data processing pipelines run on top of a distributed storage layer, and securing the whole system, and the storage layer in particular, against accidental or malicious misuse is crucial to ensuring compliance to rules and regulations. Enforcing data protection and privacy rules, however, stands at odds with the requirement to achieve higher and higher access bandwidths and processing rates in large data processing pipelines.

In this work we describe our proposal for the path forward that reconciles the two goals. We call our approach "Software-Defined Data Protection" (SDP). Its premise is simple, yet powerful: decoupling often changing policies from request-level enforcement allows distributed smart storage nodes to implement the latter at line-rate. Existing and future data protection frameworks can be translated to the same hardware interface which allows storage nodes to offload enforcement efficiently both for company-specific rules and regulations, such as GDPR or CCPA.

While SDP is a promising approach, there are several remaining challenges to making this vision reality. As we explain in the paper, overcoming these will require collaboration across several domains, including security, databases and specialized hardware design.
TRACE

Published: April 2021

The deployment of vehicle location services generates increasingly massive vehicle trajectory data, which incurs high storage and transmission costs. A range of studies target offline compression to reduce the storage cost. However, to enable online services such as real-time traffic monitoring, it is attractive to also reduce transmission costs by being able to compress streaming trajectories in real-time. Hence, we propose a framework called TRACE that enables compression, transmission, and querying of network-constrained streaming trajectories in a fully online fashion. We propose a compact two-stage representation of streaming trajectories: a speed-based representation removes redundant information, and a multiple-references based referential representation exploits subtrajectory similarities. In addition, the online referential representation is extended with reference selection, deletion and rewriting functions that further improve the compression performance. An efficient data transmission scheme is provided for achieving low transmission overhead. Finally, indexing and filtering techniques support efficient real-time range queries over compressed trajectories. Extensive experiments with real-life and synthetic datasets evaluate the different parts of TRACE, offering evidence that it is able to outperform the existing representative methods in terms of both compression ratio and transmission cost.
Adaptive data augmentation for supervised learning over missing data

Published: April 2021

Real-world data is dirty, which causes serious problems in (supervised) machine learning (ML). The widely used practice in such scenario is to first repair the labeled source (a.k.a. train) data using rule-, statistical- or ML-based methods and then use the "repaired" source to train an ML model. During production, unlabeled target (a.k.a. test) data will also be repaired, and is then fed in the trained ML model for prediction. However, this process often causes a performance degradation when the source and target datasets are dirty with different
noise patterns
, which is common in practice.

In this paper, we propose an
adaptive data augmentation
approach, for handling missing data in supervised ML. The approach extracts noise patterns from target data, and adapts the source data with the extracted target noise patterns while still preserving supervision signals in the source. Then, it
patches
the ML model by retraining it on the adapted data, in order to better serve the target. To effectively support adaptive data augmentation, we propose a novel generative adversarial network (GAN) based framework, called DAGAN, which works in an unsupervised fashion. DAGAN consists of two connected GAN networks. The first GAN learns the noise pattern from the target, for
target mask generation.
The second GAN uses the learned target mask to augment the source data, for
source data adaptation.
The augmented source data is used to retrain the ML model. Extensive experiments show that our method significantly improves the ML model performance and is more robust than the state-of-the-art missing data imputation solutions for handling datasets with different missing value patterns.
Distributed numerical and machine learning computations via two-phase execution of aggregated join trees
Authors: Jankov Dimitrije , Yuan Binhang , Luo Shangyu , Jermaine Chris
Published: April 2021

When numerical and machine learning (ML) computations are expressed relationally, classical query execution strategies (hash-based joins and aggregations) can do a poor job distributing the computation. In this paper, we propose a two-phase execution strategy for numerical computations that are expressed relationally, as aggregated join trees (that is, expressed as a series of relational joins followed by an aggregation). In a pilot run, lineage information is collected; this lineage is used to optimally plan the computation at the level of individual records. Then, the computation is actually executed. We show experimentally that a relational system making use of this two-phase strategy can be an excellent platform for distributed ML computations.

Published: April 2021

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by impaired cortical–subcortical functional connectivity. Apathy adds to functional impairment, but its cerebral basis in MDD remains unknown. Our objective was to describe impairments in functional connectivity during emotional processing in MDD (with varying levels of congruency and attention), and to determine their correlation with apathy. Methods: We used the Variable Attention Affective Task during functional MRI, followed by diffusion-weighted MRI, to assess 55 right-handed women (30 with MDD and 25 healthy controls) between September 2012 and February 2015. We estimated functional connectivity using generalized psychophysiologic interaction and anatomic connectivity with tract-based spatial statistics. We measured apathy using the Apathy Evaluation Scale. Results: We found decreased functional connectivity between the left amygdala and the left anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) during negative stimuli in participants with MDD (t54 = 4.2; p = 0.035, family-wise error [FWE]–corrected). During high-attention stimuli, participants with MDD showed reduced functional connectivity between the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) and the right ACC (t54 = 4.06, pFWE = 0.02), but greater functional connectivity between the right dlPFC and the right amygdala (t54 = 3.35, p = 0.048). Apathy was associated with increased functional connectivity between the right dlPFC and the right ACC during high-attention stimuli (t28 = 5.2, p = 0.01) and increased fractional anisotropy in the right posterior cerebellum, the anterior and posterior cingulum and the bilateral internal capsule (all pFWE < 0.05). Limitations: Limitations included a moderate sample size, concomitant antidepressant therapy and no directed connectivity. Conclusion: We found that MDD was associated with impairments in cortical–subcortical functional connectivity during negative stimuli that might alter the recruitment of networks engaged in attention. Apathy-related features suggested networks similar to those observed in degenerative disorders, but possible different mechanisms.

Published: April 2021

Background: Neurobiological measures have been associated with delinquent behaviour, but little is known about the predictive power of these measures for criminal recidivism and whether they have incremental value over and above demographic and behavioural measures. This study examined whether selected measures of autonomic functioning, functional neuroimaging and electroencephalography predict overall and serious recidivism in a sample of 127 delinquent young adults. Methods: We assessed demographics; education and intelligence; previous delinquency and drug use; behavioural traits, including aggression and psychopathy; and neurobiological measures, including heart rate, heart rate variability, functional brain activity during an inhibition task and 2 electroencephalographic measures of error-processing. We tested longitudinal associations with recidivism using Cox proportional hazard models and predictive power using C-indexes. Results: Past offences, long-term cannabis use and reactive aggression were strongly associated with recidivism, as were resting heart rate and error-processing. In the predictive model, demographics, past delinquency, drug use and behavioural traits had moderate predictive power for overall and for serious recidivism (C-index over 30 months [fraction of pairs in the data, where the higher observed survival time was correctly predicted]: C30 = 0.68 and 0.75, respectively). Neurobiological measures significantly improved predictive power (C30 = 0.72 for overall recidivism and C30 = 0.80 for serious recidivism). Limitations: Findings cannot be generalized to females, and follow-up was limited to 4 years. Conclusion: Demographic and behavioural characteristics longitudinally predicted recidivism in delinquent male young adults, and neurobiological measures improved the models. This led to good predictive function, particularly for serious recidivism. Importantly, the most feasible measures (autonomic functioning and electroencephalography) proved to be useful neurobiological predictors.

Finally, the methods of building sustainability assessment have been compared in these Criteria dimensions: ecological, social, and economical.
Oil price change and Economy relationship :A global review using a nonlinear dynamic model for MENA Countries
Authors: Essaadi Essahbi , Jbir Rafik
Published: April 2021

This paper studies the macroeconomic effects of oil price shocks in a selection of MENA countries. The oil price shock is identified by assuming that an individual country's performance does not affect world oil prices. We put particular emphasis on the time-varying relationship between oil prices and macroeconomic variables and implement their approach in a Time-Varying Structural VAR model (TV-SVAR) framework.

The main findings are that the macroeconomic effects of oil price shocks have evolved over time in MENA countries. Interestingly, however, we do not find a lot of heterogeneity among the MENA countries they consider, even though their list includes both net oil exporters (Algeria, Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Saudia Arabia) and net oil importers (Turkey and Tunisia)

Dialéctica Ilustración y Romanticismo en los artículos periodísticos de El Robinson urbano, de Antonio Muñoz Molina
Authors: Ruiz Rico Manuel
Published: April 2021

El Robinson urbanoapareció en 1984 y es la primera obra publicada por Antonio Muñoz Molina. En tanto que opera prima, contiene los elementos clave de la obra inicial del autor jiennense, que harán de cimiento a su producción posterior. Metodología:En este trabajo se analiza dicho título bajo la dialéctica entre la Ilustración y el Romanticismo, que ofrece una óptica desde la que leer los años y las tensiones de la Transición democrática española como período histórico, así como las relaciones entre el periodismo (ejercido en libertad de nuevo) y la literatura. Para hacer este análisis, se emplea bibliografía, por un lado, sobre el periodismo y la literatura y, por otro, sobre la Ilustración y el Romanticismo, así como sobre la Posmodernidad como etapa posromántica. Discusión:El Robinson urbanose presenta, en los primeros años de la democracia española, como una defensa de la razón y del proyecto ilustrado, aunque también es una denuncia de sus riesgos y excesos. Entre ellos, el control social por el Estado, el mercado o la tecnología, la devastación de patrimonio histórico de las ciudades, la alienación del individuo, el regreso de las supersticiones y del folklorismo nacionalista, el esnobismo intelectual o la hegemonía de la moral productivista. Conclusión:Todos ellos son elementos propios de la crítica romántica a la Ilustración, que encuentran en las páginas de un periódico local progresista, en la Granada de la Transición y en la pluma de Muñoz Molina un marco de manifestación y expresión genuino y singular.
Menos no siempre es más. Cómo el tamaño de los medios condiciona las prácticas extracurriculares en Periodismo
Authors: García-Borrego Manuel , Gómez-Calderón Bernardo , Córdoba-Cabús Alba
Published: April 2021

El objetivo de esta investigación es examinar las condiciones en que desarrollan las prácticas extracurriculares los estudiantes de Periodismo en función del tamaño de la empresa en que realizan su estancia, distinguiendo entre las pequeñas (de 1 a 20 empleados), medianas (más de 20 y menos de 100) y grandes (100 o más). Para ello se suministró un cuestionario a estudiantes de las universidades de Málaga y Complutense de Madrid que habían realizado prácticas en medios durante el curso 2017-2018 (n=144). Los resultados obtenidos evidencian la existencia de patrones de prácticas distintos: en las empresas pequeñas la retribución tiende a ser mayor —aunque es también donde en mayor medida se dan casos de prácticas no remuneradas—, los estudiantes dedican de media menos tiempo que sus compañeros, su criterio es más tenido en cuenta, la relación con los tutores es más fluida y suelen ocupar un área estable. En las grandes se produce el fenómeno opuesto, y es sin embargo donde existe un mayor sentimiento de pertenencia por parte de los alumnos —la mayoría querría continuar haciendo carrera en ellas—, mientras que en los pequeñas y las medianas prima la preferencia por el cambio de aires. En conjunto, la investigación muestra perfiles de prácticas bien diferenciados en base a la variable seleccionada, lo cual invita a una reflexión sobre las características de los centros de acogida y su papel en el currículo formativo del alumnado de Periodismo.

Published: April 2021

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain disorder with a clear acute-to-chronic transition. Preclinical studies demonstrate that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), expressed by myeloid-lineage cells, astrocytes, and neurons, mediates a sex-dependent transition to chronic pain; however, evidence is lacking on which exact TLR4-expressing cells are responsible. We used complementary pharmacologic and transgenic approaches in mice to more specifically manipulate myeloid-lineage TLR4 and outline its contribution to the transition from acute-to-chronic CRPS based on three key variables: location (peripheral vs central), timing (prevention vs treatment), and sex (male vs female). We demonstrate that systemic TLR4 antagonism is more effective at improving chronic allodynia trajectory when administered at the time of injury (early) in the tibial fracture model of CRPS in both sexes. In order to clarify the contribution of myeloid-lineage cells peripherally (macrophages) or centrally (microglia), we rigorously characterize a novel spatiotemporal transgenic mouse line,Cx3CR1-CreERT2-eYFP;TLR4fl/fl(TLR4 cKO) to specifically knock out TLR4 only in microglia and no other myeloid-lineage cells. Using this transgenic mouse, we find that early TLR4 cKO results in profound improvement in chronic, but not acute, allodynia in males, with a significant but less robust effect in females. In contrast, late TLR4 cKO results in partial improvement in allodynia in both sexes, suggesting that downstream cellular or molecular TLR4-independent events may have already been triggered. Overall, we find that the contribution of TLR4 is time- and microglia-dependent in both sexes; however, females also rely on peripheral myeloid-lineage (or other TLR4 expressing) cells to trigger chronic pain.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe contribution of myeloid cell TLR4 to sex-specific pain progression remains controversial. We used complementary pharmacologic and transgenic approaches to specifically manipulate TLR4 based on three key variables: location (peripheral vs central), timing (prevention vs treatment), and sex (male vs female). We discovered that microglial TLR4 contributes to early pain progression in males, and to a lesser extent in females. We further found that maintenance of chronic pain likely occurs through myeloid TLR4-independent mechanisms in both sexes. Together, we define a more nuanced contribution of this receptor to the acute-to-chronic pain transition in a mouse model of complex regional pain syndrome.
PACAP Induces Light Aversion in Mice by an Inheritable Mechanism Independent of CGRP

Published: April 2021

The neuropeptides CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) and PACAP (pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide) have emerged as mediators of migraine, yet the potential overlap of their mechanisms remains unknown. Infusion of PACAP, like CGRP, can cause migraine in people, and both peptides share similar vasodilatory and nociceptive functions. In this study, we have used light aversion in mice as a surrogate for migraine-like photophobia to compare CGRP and PACAP and ask whether CGRP or PACAP actions were dependent on each other. Similar to CGRP, PACAP induced light aversion in outbred CD-1 mice. The light aversion was accompanied by increased resting in the dark, but not anxiety in a light-independent open field assay. Unexpectedly, about one-third of the CD-1 mice did not respond to PACAP, which was not seen with CGRP. The responder and nonresponder phenotypes were stable, inheritable, and not sex linked, although there was a trend for greater responses among male mice. RNA-sequencing analysis of trigeminal ganglia yielded hierarchical clustering of responder and nonresponder mice and revealed a number of candidate genes, including greater expression of theTrpc5andKcnk12ion channels and glycoprotein hormones and receptors in a subset of male responder mice. Importantly, an anti-PACAP monoclonal antibody could block PACAP-induced light aversion but not CGRP-induced light aversion. Conversely, an anti-CGRP antibody could not block PACAP-induced light aversion. Thus, we propose that CGRP and PACAP act by independent convergent pathways that cause a migraine-like symptom in mice.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe relationship between the neuropeptides CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide) and PACAP (pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide) in migraine is relevant given that both peptides can induce migraine in people, yet to date only drugs that target CGRP are available. Using an outbred strain of mice, we were able to show that most, but not all, mice respond to PACAP in a preclinical photophobia assay. Our finding that CGRP and PACAP monoclonal antibodies do not cross-inhibit the other peptide indicates that CGRP and PACAP actions are independent and suggests that PACAP-targeted drugs may be effective in patients who do not respond to CGRP-based therapeutics.
Decoding Concurrent Representations of Pitch and Location in Auditory Working Memory
Authors: Czoschke Stefan , Fischer Cora , Bahador Tara , Bledowski Christoph , Kaiser Jochen
Published: April 2021

Multivariate analyses of hemodynamic signals serve to identify the storage of specific stimulus contents in working memory (WM). Representations of visual stimuli have been demonstrated both in sensory regions and in higher cortical areas. While previous research has typically focused on the WM maintenance of a single content feature, it remains unclear whether two separate features of a single object can be decoded concurrently. Also, much less evidence exists for representations of auditory compared with visual stimulus features. To address these issues, human participants had to memorize both pitch and perceived location of one of two sample sounds. After a delay phase, they were asked to reproduce either pitch or location. At recall, both features showed comparable levels of discriminability. Region of interest (ROI)-based decoding of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data during the delay phase revealed feature-selective activity for both pitch and location of a memorized sound in auditory cortex and superior parietal lobule. The latter region showed higher decoding accuracy for location than pitch. In addition, location could be decoded from angular and supramarginal gyrus and both superior and inferior frontal gyrus. The latter region also showed a trend for decoding of pitch. We found no region exclusively coding pitch memory information. In summary, the present study yielded evidence for concurrent representations of pitch and location of a single object both in sensory cortex and in hierarchically higher regions, pointing toward representation formats that enable feature integration within the same anatomic brain regions.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTDecoding of hemodynamic signals serves to identify brain regions involved in the storage of stimulus-specific information in working memory (WM). While to-be-remembered information typically consists of several features, most previous investigations have focused on the maintenance of one memorized feature belonging to one visual object. The present study assessed the concurrent storage of two features of the same object in auditory WM. We found that both pitch and location of memorized sounds were decodable both in early sensory areas, in higher-level superior parietal cortex and, to a lesser extent, in inferior frontal cortex. While auditory cortex is known to process different features in parallel, their concurrent representation in parietal regions may support the integration of object features in WM.

Current Problems of Teaching Philosophical Disciplines in Educational Institutions of Slovak Republic
Authors: Ambrozy Marián
Published: April 2021

The paper is a brief mapping of the situation in the field of didactics of philosophy in the Slovak Republic. We observe that, despite almost three decades of separation of official philosophy from the dominance of Marxist philosophy, there is no satisfactory basis for the didactics of philosophy. The discipline Didactics of philosophy is represented by improvising several enthusiasts instead of developing serious theoretical foundations. We try to post a few recommendations that belong to all who want to seriously deal with the didactics of philosophy. The most important of them is the establishment of the Slovak scientific journal of didactics, the establishment of the organization of trade didactics, the separation of philosophy from other core subjects and the accreditation of the third level of university education in didactics of philosophy. The author convincingly proves the need to introduce knowledge of philosophy in school, since it will help teach students to think better, apply knowledge more effectively, critically evaluate everyday life, including relationships with parents, teachers, classmates and others. The article emphasizes that the experience of philosophizing will allow students to express their thoughts in writing, as well as to explore at an accessible level “eternal” issues of metaphysics, epistemology, natural philosophy, philosophy of history, philosophy of culture, philosophy of law, philosophical anthropology. philosophy of politics, etc. The urgency of impoving the teacher's competence in teaching this subject at school, in particular, updating the methodological support, substantiation of educational innovations for the use in the study of philosophy, as well as the introduction of ICT in the educational process are substantiated.
Inclusive Education in the Illusio Space. A Proposal to Research the School FIeld
Authors: Kołodziejczak Karolina
Published: April 2021

This article describes planned research on the practice of inclusive education in Poland in the context of Pierre Bourdieu's [3] concept of society, in which field is one of the basic concepts. In using this term, the author intends to describe the social space of the school, the social space’s organization, and the state of the school’s social position; as well as to answer the question: What is the reality of inclusive education, as analyzed using the illusio category? It is necessary to analyze the state of the implementation of the assumptions made by inclusive education in primary schools, and to find out the opinions of teachers working with students covered by this type of education. In P. Bourdieu’s [3] concept of society, the field is the source of what is social, it shapes it in those who are within its area of influence. This “attitude” is called illusio [11, p. 188]. Illusio is a state of engrossment in a game that the participant is unaware of. This is the result of direct recognition of the field's requirements. Everyday educational life in the context of P. Bourdieu's concept falls within the field of activities of the Ministry of National Education. The teacher takes part in a game whose rules are set by the Ministry of National Education. In the context of the proposed research within the scope of the field, apart from teachers, there are also the parents of the children covered by inclusive education.

The article emphasizes the fact that the problem of providing effective pedagogical support for personal development of children with mental and physical disabilities occupies an important place in the educationa theory and practice of modern Ukraine. Among scientists there are different approaches to determining its content, purpose and objectives. Most researchers consider pedagogical support of children with special educational needs (SEN) assystematic actions and measuresaime datensuring positive results in the educational process. The main tasks of pedagogical support of children with psychophysical developmental disorders are to ensure their social adaptation and over come difficulties in communicating with peers; prevention of problems of personal development and upbringing of the child; providing assistance in solving current educational problems and socialization; implementation of psychological and pedagogical counseling for parents. The authorsempha size that art therapy is rightly considered to be an effective means of pedagogical influenceon children with SEN in an inclusive educational space. Art therapy as a method of diagnosis, change and resource development of an individual, group or team through the use of different art sand their own creative activities has a wide field of  application in various areas of  teaching. To achieve a positive result in the pedagogical support of children with SEN the following arttherapy means are used: drawing therapy, fairy-tale therapy, sand therapy, music therapy, photo therapy, color therapy, which can be integrated, completing each other. It is scientifically proven that theuse of different types of arts contributes to the development of a child’s emotional and communicative sphere, the establishment of interpersonal communication, taking into account emotional state of peers. During art therapy classes peculiarities of interpersonal communication are revealed, obstacles in its establishment are found and over come, and as a result the development of social-communicatives kills of children with SEN.
Landscape and its Functions in the Stories of “Christmas Tree” by Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi and “Pine Tree” by Olena Pchilka
Authors: Vivcharyk Nataliia
Published: April 2021

The article proves that the implementation of a comprehensive approach to the aesthetic education of students in NUS involves, along with the traditional teaching of subjects, their integration, in particular in the humanitarian, artistic cycle. “The concept of artistic and aesthetic education of students in secondary schools” indicates the need to take into account interdisciplinary, intersectoral links within modern school education because educational processes provide rational, aesthetic, and emotional understanding of the phenomena of the surrounding reality. The article points out that the concept of landscape is interdisciplinary and is used in various fields of art, including literature, which influences the formation of personality, helps gain some knowledge about the environment, the relationship between people and nature. The article analyzes the functions of landscapes in children's stories “Christmas Tree” by Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi and “Pine Tree” by Olena Pchilka in detail. Attention is paid to the consonance of the names of works of art. It is proved that titles implicitly outline the time of action and are projected on the plot. The creative style of Olena Pchilka and Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi is characterized by the “revival” of nature. On the background of winter landscapes, the writers depict the lives of different segments of the population, customs and traditions associated with Christmas. It is indicated that landscapes perform both pictorial and characterological functions. Describing the preparation for Christmas, the writers appeal to the use of contrasts, which helps reveal social issues. In both works, the symbolic marker of wealth/poverty is a Christmas tree/pine tree. Descriptions of the winter elements evoke tragic premonitions. The emotionality of the story emphasizes the rupture of phrases, the accumulation of exclamatory and interrogative constructions. It is shown that landscapes convey the inner experiences of the characters, who successfully overcome all the difficulties and return home. By resorting to the synthesis of arts, using visual materials and musical accompaniment, teachers can develop students' associative thinking and teach to comprehensively analyze information. Analyzing the stories “Christmas Tree” by Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi and “Pine Tree” by Olena Pchilka, students consider not only the topics and issues, but also comprehend the processes of human interaction with nature, which serves to form a humane attitude to the environment and develops aesthetic feelings.
Regulation of Behavioral Deviations in the Youth Environment
Authors: Zozuliak-Sluchyk Roksoliana
Published: April 2021

The problem of regulation of behavioral deviations in the youth environment attracts the attention of many researchers in various branches of science. Regulation of behavioral deviations means the prevention of unfavorable living conditions of adolescents, namely the elimination of factors that can cause certain negative consequences. The article reveals and analyzes the important factors that determine the criminal behavior of adolescents. In particular, such factors are singled out: uncensored propaganda of negative behavior styles that provoke adolescents to imitate «heroes» with bloody and violent behavior; the influence of families that give their children little attention from preschool age, turn a blind eye to their bad behavior, have an irresponsible attitude to the world around them and the environment, encourage their children’s whims; inconsistency of legal reform, extremes in modern judicial practice. The results of the study of predisposition to criminal behavior of adolescents are also presented. The methods chosen for the study: “Diagnosis of the tendency to overcome social norms and rules (Yu.A. Kleiberg)”, “Methods of diagnosing the tendency to deviant behavior (A.N. Orel)”, “Diagnosis of hostility (according to the Cook-Medley scale)”, “Obozov-Shchokintest to determine the degree of determination”, “A. Bass-A. Dark diagnosis of indicators and forms of aggression”. The type of social regulation of behavioral deviations such as individual prevention of juvenile delinquency is considered in detail. Its essence is purposeful work with a particular teenager and their closest people. Social workers, social educators and modern law enforcement agencies are comprehensively called to carry out this type. Individual prevention is directed at the adolescent and their negative traits, the environment that shapes them, as well as the conditions, circumstances and situations that contribute to or facilitate the commission of crimes by minors.
Aesthetic Categories “Love”, “Joy” and “Fear” in the Professional Activity of a Teacher
Authors: Vasianovych Hryhoriy , Shewkun Galina , Latyschevska Kateryna
Published: April 2021

Different approaches to defining the essence and content of the concepts of “love”, “joy” and “fear”, their interaction in terms of teaching are analyzed in the article. It is emphasized that the main thing in love is its spiritualization. Only the spirit, the spiritual power, reveals to a man the true, worthy object of love. Love is creativity, openness of the human soul, it is an organic, aesthetic need of a man. This approach is especially important in the system of relations “teacher – student; teacher – student”. It is proved that the teacher's love for the student must be effective, it is based on trust, mutual assistance, without love pedagogical activity loses its value. An important manifestation of love is the joy of common achievements. Love and joy are related concepts. Joyful hobbies that guide cognition, enter the noosphere of a man, contribute to mental and spiritual growth. Instead, the category of “fear” is defined as an emotion that arises in a situation of threat to the biological or social existence of the individual and is aimed at the source of real or imagined danger. In the article, the concept of “fear” is considered on a Christian basis, and therefore, analyzed as the fear of God and human fear. The need to train specialists in the field of professional and pedagogical activities in the context of solving the outlined problems is emphasized.
Use of Gadgets in Biology Classes as a Means of Increasing Students' Motivation
Authors: Gniezdilova Victoria
Published: April 2021

The article highlights the current problem of motivating students to learn. The use of gadgets in the educational process can positively affect the motivation of students to learn, involve them in creative activities, as well as interest in better and more honest performance of tasks. Since most students are bored at school, it is difficult to involve them in active work in the classroom. The problem of increasing student activity in the classroom is a fairly common and urgent today. It is difficult to imagine a world without modern technology. Laptops, mobile phones, tablets, computers and other gadgets have become good friends for people. They are real colleagues: they help perform many tasks, which normally take a long time to solve. As with any adult, gadgets play a significant role in children's lives. Teenagers and mobile phones are the same inseparable things as teachers and well-prepared notes. Children are increasingly choosing entertainment in front of a monitor, instead of playing outside or walking with family. Social networks, well-thought-out computer games, take the first place among youth hobbies. That is why the important task facing teachers is to arouse interest in learning, to motivate students.

Functioning of Adults from Single-Parent Families in a Family and Professional Environment
Authors: Wojciechowska Mariola , Michalska Marlena
Published: April 2021

The modern world puts great demands on people when it comes to understanding its purpose and meaning, which undoubtedly changes the lives of individuals and social groups. People are particularly concerned about the possibility of freeing themselves from imposed group ties, enjoying the rights of a citizen and a member of a community, and the way in which freedom is exercised without restrictions. What has so far been a well-established basis for human activity and the maintenance of the existing order is now losing its importance, and is being replaced by new life opportunities. The authority of traditional social structures such as the social class, local community or family has declined. Normative and axiological systems, and consequently the quality of functioning of the contemporary family, its structure, scope of performed duties and relations within a family, have also undergone transformations. It is becoming increasingly common for adults who form the main axis of the family to decide on a divorce. This is not conducive to the optimum development of children, as they lose the sense of security, trust in adults, fail to fulfil their own lives and even doubt about the existence of true unselfish love. Parents' divorce decisions often result in emotional and motivational disorders which are manifested by difficulties in establishing social contacts, building profound relationships and coping with difficult situations. The paper shows the results of exploratory research on how adults brought up in divorced single-parent families can function in the social and professional environment. The research employs the diagnostic survey method using the auditorium questionnaire and the “100 Sentences – 100 Opinions” tool by Mirosław J. Szymański. The results of the research clearly show that adults brought up in single-parent families are involved very differently in social and professional life. They build their short- and long-term professional and personal goals in distinct ways. Personal and social characteristics of the respondents are the factors determining the observed activity. The research results are in line with the relevant literature and prove the impact of growing up in a single-parent family on children's activity in adult life.
