Published: January 2020

AbstractCarrying out a research within the field being a part of a meta-science, which has the object of the whole education system with relevant educational processes at different levels, educational institutions, factors, dominant and trends in its development, resources, including human capital, and other elements together with the mechanisms of interaction between them, we use the term “educational comparative studies” as more adequate to define the research field mentioned above. It is stated that modernization of the national educational system in Ukraine in the framework of the world mainstream is not possible without unified and well-defined terminological bases, methodological foundations, principles and criteria for comparative studies that meet the current level of the science development and the needs of society. It is proved that the most effective way of fulfillment a comparative analysis of education systems in different countries is a detailed study of theory and practice of their teachers’ preparation for the systems under consideration. Having analyzed different scientific approaches to identifying criteria for a comparative study, the criteria on the development of teachers’ preparation are introduced. It is highlighted that the defined criteria will be applied in the research work on the development of special education teachers’ preparation systems in the USA, the UK and Ukraine. They are introduced in the article: legal support of the educational system for individuals with special needs; national and regional standards of special education teachers’ preparation; curriculums, methods, and technologies for special education teachers’ preparation; system of retraining and licensures of special education teachers; informative and scientific subsystem of special education system; subsystem of special education teachers’ pre-service preparation and in-field practical work management; financial and economic subsystem of training and retraining of special education teachers.

Authors: Dutchak Yuriy , Kravchuk Ludmila 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThe analysis of legislative and regulatory framework regarding educational process in higher educational establishments of Kazakhstan allows to state that training of academic staff in physical culture and coaching personnel is done within “Physical culture and sport” specialty. There is no division into “Secondary education. Physical culture” and “Physical culture and sport”. In the Republic of Kazakhstan, fundamental academic education in “Physical culture and sport” is obtained at graduate course. Curricula of the second level in “Physical culture and sport” are implemented by 9 higher educational establishments of various forms of ownership. Training at graduate course is done on the basis of higher educational curricula in two areas: academic and pedagogical (at least two years) and profile (at least one year), full-time only. Graduate-course program by academic and pedagogical area in “Physical culture and sport” in the Republic of Kazakhstan corresponds to graduate-course program in “Secondary education. Physical culture” in Ukraine. Second-level educational program in “Physical culture and sport” includes cycles of basic and profile subjects that are further divided into components of a higher educational establishment and optional subjects. Overall volume of credits in this program is 120 ECTS. Upon completion of studies, students are awarded the degree of a master in pedagogical sciences in “Physical culture and sport”. Completion of this curriculum provides formation of highly qualified, competitive academic and pedagogical staff needed at labor market, able to act professionally in any social and economic situations at a higher academic and pedagogical level.
Forming Digital Literacy in Students Based on the Experience of EU Countries
Authors: Zaika Artem 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThe article analyzes the tendencies in the development of digital literacy of citizens of European Union member states in educational institutions. The urgency of the study is driven by the need to develop the skills needed to communicate effectively in the epoch of 4 – the Industrial Revolution. This study focuses on analyzing the approaches needed to build digital literacy, as well as identifying its key development criteria in the education systems of the UK, Slovenia, the Netherlands, Lithuania and Estonia. Attention is drawn to the existing documents and programs that formulate conceptual trendsways for digital literacy across Europe. At the same time, in the European Union there is no common model that reflects the ways and methods of digital literacy, each country defining its priorities for achieving the goals. It is noted that digital literacy is characterized as one of the key skills for developing the professional competencies of a teacher and a competitive specialist. Based on the study of digital literacy experience abroad, it is possible to define a clear public policy focused on high levels of digital literacy and digital skills. The digitalization status of educational establishments and the population of Ukraine, which is defined as low, is compared. The main directions of the concept of development of the digital economy and society of Ukraine for 2018–2020 are described which aim to bridge the “digital divide” in comparison with the developed EU countries. It is concluded that it is precisely the educational institutions need significant reform. Based on the analysis of digital literacy approaches abroad, this study identifies priority areas for reforming education systems in the European Union in line with current labor market and digital society requirements.

Abstract
The paper analyses certain aspects of organic agriculture and emphasises the need for an integrated approach in its research. The necessity of using ecologically safe agricultural production as a component of the development of modern civilized states is pointed out in the paper. The method of direct conductometry has been used to study the total mineral composition of plowed soils, which is considered as a component of “green” chemistry methods. The electrical conductivity of aqueous extracts of arable soils, in which mineral and organic fertilizers are applied, is measured. The obtained data vary between 10 and 220 μS. In the paper, for the first time, the regularities of fluctuations of the data of electrical conductivity of aqueous extracts of arable soils, in which various plant cultures had been grown, were revealed and mineral nitrogen fertilizers or organic fertilizers were introduced. Lower data of electrical conductivity are characteristic of plowed soils, in which mineral fertilizers are applied, which indirectly indicates their depletion. The advantage of using organic fertilizers as a necessary component of organic agriculture has been confirmed. It is noted that a promising area of the research is a complete use of an integrated approach to the organic agriculture being farmed in various European countries.
Development of the limit values of micronutrient deficiency in soil determined using Mehlich 3 extractant for Polish soil conditions. Part II. Rapeseed

Published: January 2020

Abstract
The aim of the study was to develop limit values for low microelement concentration in the soil, determined with the use of Mehlich 3 extractant for assessing their deficits in rapeseed crops. The values were prepared on the basis of 1944 fields with rapeseed, covering the whole Poland. In 2017, the samplers of Polish agro-chemical laboratories took soil samples and corresponding plant samples at the BBCH 30/31 stage. In the plant samples, the concentration of microelements was determined, and in the soil samples, apart from microelements, also pH, texture and the concentration of organic carbon and available phosphorus, were determined. Moreover, for each field, data on rapeseed yield were collected. Limit values were determined by two independent methods: 1) the method of regression equations and 2) the so-called high yield method. In the first case, the limit microelement concentration in the soil was calculated from the equation describing the relationship between the R/G bioaccumulation coefficient and a specific soil feature (n=1944). The bioaccumulation coefficient is a quotient of the concentration of a microelement in a plant (R) and its concentration in the soil determined by the Mehlich 3 (G) method. Limit values were calculated after substituting the critical concentration of microelements in the plant (R) to the equation, and subsequently, an appropriate conversion of the equation. The second method was based on the separation of a group of high yields ≥4.0 t ha−1 (n=755) from the whole data set. Then in this group, the lower quintiles (QU1) were calculated for the concentration of individual microelements in the soil determined in Mehlich 3 extract and adopted as limit values. It was found that QU1 is a good indicator of the lowest microelement concentration in the soil at which a yield of at least 4.0 t ha−1 can be obtained. The final limit values were worked out by averaging the values calculated by the equations and high yield method and their appropriate correction. In the combined soil sample collections for wheat and rapeseed (n=3865), the values were checked by evaluating the percentage of soils with microelement shortage separately for rape and wheat. The results of this evaluation were compared with the evaluation using the old system based on the 1 M HCl, which did not take into account the plant species.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of social network propaganda on exchange rate and also exchange rate fluctuations on Iran economic growth. This study uses annual data to analyse the long-run and short-run relationship between variables for the period of 1993–2018. Data were collected from the Central Bank of Iran. The autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) method proposed by Pesaran, Shin, and Smith (2001) was used. The results of long-run analysis show that a 1% increase in negative propaganda of social media about the exchange rate leads to a 3.8% decline in long-run economic growth. Also, a 1% increase in exchange rate fluctuations results in a 3.5% decrease in economic growth. Research findings also indicate negative short-run impacts of social networks on the excitement of the foreign exchange market and, ultimately, on economic growth.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
We present a set of hypothetical scenarios and cases where the need for access, sharing and processing of sensitive personal information increases the transparency of the customer to buyer relationship, although it may irreversibly damage the customer’s sphere of privacy. Highly personalised early risk prediction models for use by insurance companies to estimate the probability that a specific event (heart infarct) or a disease (diabetes) occurs in a given individual over a predefined time can enable earlier and better intervention, prevent negative consequences on a person’s quality of life and thus result in improved individual health outcomes. The challenge is to design, develop and validate new generations of comprehensive models that will be the result of a consensual process with the customers and will be based on artificial intelligence and other state-of-the-art technologies using multiple available data resources and will integrate them in personalised insurance policy pathways that empower the customers to actively contribute to their own individual health-risk mitigation and prevention.

Published: January 2020

Currently, the Russian Federation invests heavily in the production of products under the state defense order (hereinafter — SDO). The head executors and executors of the state budget are obliged to ensure separate accounting of the results of financial and economic activities for each state contract. The article is devoted to the development of methodological support for separate accounting of performance at enterprises which are the executors of the state budget. The research methodology is an analysis of existing methodological approaches to separate accounting of financial results of the SDO and the construction of the author’s own methodology on their basis. The article offers recommendations on the organization and methodology of separate accounting of the results of financial and economic activity by the organizations-executors of the SDO. The author’s definition of the term “separate accounting of the results of financial and economic activities in SDO” is given. The form of the register of accounting for grouping of the actual costs for execution of the SDO is developed. The developed recommendations for management job order costing accounting, clearance accounting, classification of costs by types, and the formation of registers of analytical accounting will allow the organizations-executors of the SDO to keep separate records in accordance with the regulatory requirements and to obtain information on the financial results of each contract at any given time.
Variabilidade da Dengue e do Clima em Porto Alegre/RS de 2012 a 2017
Authors: Collischonn Erika , Maio Bianca Marques , Brandolt Ricardo 
Published: January 2020

O El Niño/Oscilação Sul (ENOS) é uma oscilação conjunta oceano-atmosfera, que altera a Temperatura da Superfície do Mar (TSM), a pressão, o vento e a convecção tropical, principalmente no Oceano Pacífico, porém com reflexos na circulação atmosférica e no padrão de distribuição da precipitação em outras áreas do planeta, incluindo o sul do Brasil, conforme já comprovado por vários autores. Essa alteração de padrões pode aumentar o número de pessoas expostas a doenças, como a dengue, aumentando a probabilidade de surtos ou epidemias. Neste trabalho, o recorte temporal escolhido, de 2012 a 2017, abrange os dois anos em que mais casos de dengue autóctone ocorreram em Porto Alegre (2013 e 2016). Para o período, analisaram-se variabilidades a partir dos seguintes dados: Índice Niño 3.4 (NOAA); médias e totais mensais de elementos meteorológicos e as normais climatológicas 1981-2010 de Porto Alegre (WMO 83967- INMET); casos confirmados de dengue por semana epidemiológica e ano (SINAN-RS); dias com presença de jatos de baixos níveis (JBN) sobre Porto Alegre (Projeto Rios Voadores e INPE/CPTEC). A partir da organização destes dados, foi constatada uma correspondência entre o El Niño muito forte ocorrido em 2016, a presença quase constante dos JBN sobre Porto Alegre, precipitação bem superior à normal e o maior número de casos de dengue autóctone já registrado até então. Discute-se também as diferenças e semelhanças deste ano com o de 2013, que foi o segundo ano em registros de dengue autóctone. Variability of Climate and Dengue Fever Cases in Porto Alegre/RS from 2012 to 2017 A B S T R A C TThe El Niño / Southern Oscillation (ENSO) The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle causes ripples through the global climate, changing air currents and rainfall patterns, The effect on the climate of southern Brazil was evidenced by several authors. The shifts in Niño years can increase the number of people exposed to a disease, such as dengue, increasing the likelihood of an outbreak. In this work, we analyzed a period of time that covers the two years in which more cases of autochthonous dengue fever occurred in Porto Alegre (2013 and 2016). For this period, variability was analyzed from the following data: Niño 3.4 (NOAA), monthly mean and cumulative meteorological data and climatological normal 1981/2010 of Porto Alegre (WMO 83967- INMET); confirmed cases of dengue fever per epidemiological week and per year (SINAN-RS); days with presence of low level jets (JBN) over Porto Alegre (INPE/CPTEC). The organization of these data showed correspondence between the very strong El Niño occurred in 2016, the almost constant presence of the JBN over Porto Alegre, the most intense and frequent precipitation, and the highest number of autochthonous dengue cases ever recorded. We also discuss the differences and similarities of this year with that of 2013, which was the second year in autochthonous dengue fever records.Keywords: El Niño, Low Lever Jet, precipitation, temperature, wind, dengue fever.

Rainfall data from 2001-2011 from Seropédica were related to synoptic systems and El Niño Southern Oscillation episodes (ENSO). Evaluation was divided into average, monthly, seasonal and annual. Synoptic data are from Climanálise from 1996 to 2012. Descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests (Mann-Kendall (MK), Pettitt and Sen Method (Se)) were applied to time series from Climanálise. The identified average characteristics showed high interannual and intraseasonal variability of synoptic systems, followed by the interaction between local and mesoscale systems in the rainfall regime. Seasonally, spring (38.06%) and summer (30.35%) were higher than autumn (20.91%) and winter (10.68%). The highest average monthly accumulated were observed in the joint occurrence of SACZ/ MCZ and FS from November to January, followed by the influence of ENSO episodes in Seropédica. FS occurences decreased in 2005, while in 2003 there was an increased SACZ/MCZ. MK test results considering α = 5% showed that there is Significant Increasing Trend (SIT) in SACZ/MCZ (Z > 2.25) and Significant Decreasing Trend (SDT) of FS (Z < 3.68) in Rio de Janeiro. Statistical identified trends and critical periods of synoptic systems.

Published: January 2020

O estudo consiste na elaboração e extrapolação de curvas-chave localizadas na Região Amazônica. A elevada disponibilidade hídrica da Região requer hidrogramas precisos para gestão dos Recursos Hídricos. Foram escolhidas cinco estações, com período de dados de 1971 a 2015 e o uso de 463 medições de descarga, para elaboração de curvas-chave do tipo potência e relacionando “cota x vazão” empregando duas formas de calibração: utilização do programa GrafChav e da ferramenta Solver do Excel, tendo o coeficiente de Nash-Sutcliffe (NS) como validação. A extrapolação foi realizada pelos métodos: Logarítmico, Velocidade x Área e Stevens, sendo validadas pela metodologia de pseudo-extrapolação. As duas formas de calibração da curva-chave (GrafChav e Excel) são eficientes. Quanto à extrapolação, a que obteve maior erro em relação à curva-chave foi o método de Stevens. O método com menor erro é o Velocidade x Área, desde que apresente tendência linear na relação entre cota e velocidade. A curva-chave é a etapa primordial na consistência de dados fluviométricos e requer técnicas bens aplicadas para incrementar na confiabilidade dos dados gerados. Development and Extrapolation of Rating Curves in Amazon A B S T R A C TThe study consists in the development and extrapolation of rating curves located in the Amazon. The high water availability of the Region requires accurate hydrographs for water resources management. Five stations were chosen, with a data period from 1971 to 2015 and the use of 463 discharge measurements, for the elaboration of power-type rating curves and relating “stage x flow” employing two forms of calibration: using the GrafChav program and the Excel Solver tool, with the Nash-Sutcliffe (NS) coefficient as validation. The extrapolation was performed by the following methods: Logarithmic, Velocity x Area and Stevens, being validated by the pseudo-extrapolation methodology. The two forms of rating curve calibration (GrafChav and Excel) are efficient. Regarding extrapolation, the one that obtained the greatest error in relation to the key curve was the Stevens method. The method with the smallest error is Speed x Area, as long as it presents a linear trend in the relationship between dimension and speed. The rating curve is the primordial step in the consistency of fluviometric data and requires applied good techniques to increase the reliability of the generated dataKeywords: Rating Curve, Calibration, Extrapolation.
