Authors: Saleh Alaa Mohammed , Al-Omari Hamzah Ali 
Published: December 2023

Objectives: This study aimed at investigating the impact of a developed instructional program based on sociolinguistic principles on improving the speaking skills of tenth grade EFL female students in Jordan.
Methods: The study used the quasi-experimental approach. The sample of the study consisted of (50) tenth-grade students in two sections; one of these was randomly selected to be the control group (25 students) and the other was the experimental group (25 students). A speaking test was developed by the researchers to test students orally based on a rubric that covered eight sub-skills of speaking. Data were analyzed using (SPSS) package to find means and standard deviations, ANCOVA and MANCOVA.
Results: The results showed that there are differences between the mean score of the experimental group and that of the control group on the post-test of speaking skills, which was statistically significant. This difference was in favour of the students of the experimental group since the adjusted mean score was (30.261), which was significantly higher than the adjusted mean score of the students of the control group (20.339).
Conclusions: The developed instructional program based on sociolinguistic principles was significantly better than the conventional method in developing students’ speaking skills. The study recommends that sociolinguistic principles be incorporated into developing EFL curricula to enhance students’ speaking skills.

Authors: Fernández-Zaionz Axel Ramiro , Vivas Leticia Yanina 
Published: December 2023

Conocer el funcionamiento de las relaciones conceptuales es sumamente importante para la evaluación neuropsicológica, ya que se ven afectadas por muchos síndromes neuropsicológicos . La selección de los distractores adecuados resulta crucial para poder graduar la dificultad de las pruebas. En este trabajo, se estudió el efecto de la fuerza de correspondencia (FC) entre opciones de respuesta en una prueba de asociación semántica, denominada TAXON, que evalúa la capacidad de identificar relaciones taxonómicas. La muestra incluyó 43 adultos mayores de 65 años sin patología. Se analizó la correlación entre la diferencia en la FC de los estímulos y los tiempos (TR) y tasa de respuesta (TA). Además, se analizó si el dominio semántico de los ítems (vivo/no vivo) y el formato de presentación (verbal/pictórico) tenían influencia. Los resultados mostraron TR menores y TA mayores cuando la diferencia de correspondencia entre distractor y target era mayor. Además, se observó un efecto mayor en el formato pictórico.
Information technologies as an object of contemporary criminal situation development in the sphere of economic activity
Authors: Molchanova Tatyana 
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the situation, structure and dynamics of certain qualitative parameters of crimes in the sphere of economic activity committed with the use of information and telecommunication technologies.
The author focuses on the fact that information technologies have an impact on the development of practical use of Chapter 22 of the RF Criminal Code.
Intensification of such practice led to an increase in the number of criminal cases and the reflection of crimes in the relevant forms of the Main Informational and Analytical Center of the RF Ministry of the Interior. In particular, the following type characteristics of crimes and persons who committed crimes were considered: the number of women, persons without permanent sources of income; the dynamics of persons who committed a crime as part of an organized group and a criminal community (organization). All facts were confirmed by statistical data.
The author notes that the development of new information technologies can both significantly increase law enforcement practice concerning this type of criminal activity and contribute to the creation of a modern system of measures aimed at preventing encroachments in the sphere of economic activity.
Methods: In the course of the study we used general scientific methods of social processes cognition (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, system-structural method, measurement, description, abstraction), as well as private scientific methods - document analysis, statistical methods. As an empirical base we used separate forms of statistical observation of the Main Informational and Analytical Center of the RF Ministry of the Interior.
Results: Based on the results of the study, criminal acts belonging to the category of crimes under Chapter 22 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and committed with the use of information and telecommunication technologies were identified. The relevant statistical data were collected and analyzed. The corpus delicti of crimes that have been the subject of record keeping since 2022 (articles: 1742, 174.1, 183.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) have been studied.
Peculiarities of the competence of a forensic expert in preventive activities
Authors: Fedorovich Vasily 
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Due to transformations in the methodology of education and professional training of specialists in the field of forensic expertise, there is a need to pay attention to such a professional competence as the ability to prevent offences in according to the specifics of expert activity. Preventive tasks are fixed in the job instructions of experts carrying out their activities in the framework of criminal and civil proceedings. However, there is uncertainty in the normative documents concerning recommendations of preventive activities to be provided by a forensic expert unit.
In practice, the implementation of preventive tasks is out of the sphere of forensic examination. This requires a detailed analysis of the organisational and methodological side of professional training, as well as the creation of a special course on expert preventive activities.
Methods. In the process of research, the author used methods of analysing normative documents (including regulations), comparative legal, statistical, and formal logic methods.
Results. Based on the results of the research, the author makes a conclusion that in order to solve the existing issues it is reasonable to develop unified scientific, methodological and organisational approaches by conducting scientific research at the interdepartmental level, as well as to form a separate special course on expert prevention activities.

Authors: Khodova Ekaterina , Shingaev Sergey 
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The problem of creating a reliable system for evaluating employees of law enforcement agencies, selecting candidates and forming a personnel reserve is constantly within the sphere of researchers’ interests and involves the development and implementation of effective tools that allow both assessing professional suitability and forecasting the effectiveness of professional activity of employees. In relation to the employees of the non-departmental security units of the Rosguard, official competencies have recently become such a tool.
The purpose of the study is to develop a technology for assessing the job competencies of employees of the non–departmental security (PSB) of the Rosguard within the context of a competence model. The object of the study were employees of the combatant units of the Rosguard of Russia in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region (271 people), including 72 leaders (platoon and company commanders), 60 police officers and 139 PSB experts.
Research methods. While developing procedures for assessing job competencies, the assessment center method, P. Ward’s 360-degree assessment method, comparative, correlation, factor, and regression analysis were used. The psychodiagnostic tools of the study involved a set of valid, reliable, complementary methods: expert assessment, standardized interview, short intellectual selection test CAT (V. N. Buzin, E. F. Vanderlik); standardized multifactorial method of personality research SMIL (L. N. Sobchik), self-actualization test SAT (E. Shostrom), the methodology of the motivational structure of personality (V. E. Milman), the methodology for assessing the level of neuroticism and psychopathization (I. B. Lasko, B. I. Tonkonogy).
Results. The article presents the results of the empirical study of the level of development of job competencies of PSB employees. The authors come to the conclusion that such competencies as «professional motivation» and «compliance with official subordination» influence the effectiveness of the official activity of an ordinary employee, while such competencies as «professional motivation», «special knowledge», communication skills and the ability to use synergy in solving work tasks influence the effectiveness of the official activity of the head of the department.
Legal status of Old Believers in the Russian Empire: normative framework and features of support in 1907–1914
Authors: Kerov Valeriy 
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The article is devoted to the problems of applying the norms enshrined in the legislation of the Russian Empire and departmental regulatory legal acts relating to Old Believers after the First Russian Revolution. By decrees of April 17, 1905 and October 17, 1906, Old Believers were granted “freedom of belief and prayer at the behest of their conscience,” but in real life, the Old Believers’ rights to free confession were significantly limited by local authorities.
The purpose of the study is to determine the conflict of law norms that provided subjects of the Russian Empire with “freedom of beliefs and prayers at the behest of ... conscience”; identify the features of the application of these norms by executive authorities in 1907–1914.
Theoretical and methodological basis. The main methodological principles of the study were the principles of historicism, the unity of theory and practice, the comprehensiveness of the study of social processes and phenomena, the unity of the historical and logical. The main methodological approach of the study was determined to be a systematic approach. General scientific (historical, functional, theoretical modeling, hypothesis building) and special (formal legal, historical legal, comparative legal) methods of legal research were used.
Results. The analysis showed that the position and, accordingly, the normative acts of the Synod as an executive body in a number of cases were in conflict with the by-laws (orders, clarifications, etc.) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Their strict subordination to each other, necessary for the full functioning of the legal system, was absent in imperial legislation. The specification and application of legal norms largely depended on the position of the department. Despite their differences, law enforcement was determined by the discretion of a specific official, even a low rank, who had the opportunity to choose between regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Synod of the Russian Church, which had the same legal force. This led to the Old Believers’ distrust of local executive authorities.

Abstract
This paper reports nanobeam X-ray diffraction (nanoXRD) measurement results for strained SiGe spintronics devices grown by MBE. A quantitative nanoXRD analysis verifies that in-plane strain is properly exerted on the SiGe spin channel layer in the device showing enhanced spin diffusion length, whereas overall strain relaxation and local change in crystallinity occur in the sample with unclear spin signals. Crystal defects such as dislocations and stacking faults found in cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy observations are correlated with the results of nanoXRD analysis and their influence on spin transport properties are discussed. The present results demonstrate the capability of the nanoXRD based method for quantitative nondestructive analysis of strain distribution and crystallinity in real device structures.
Mutações no gene TP53 e suas implicações em processos de tumorigênese
Authors: Pezzini Martins Amanda , Kiesling Casali Agnes , Aparecida Silva Martins Aline 
Published: December 2023

O gene TP53, conhecido como “guardião do genoma”, codifica a proteína p53 responsável por garantir a integridade celular, induzindo a apoptose de células com alterações no material genético. A disfunção de p53 acarreta na proliferação de células mutadas, as quais podem repercutir em um processo de carcinogênese. O presente artigo tem por objetivo identificar a relação entre as mutações no gene TP53 e os processos de oncogênese. Trata-se uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa da literatura realizada a partir de artigos publicados entre 2005 e 2023 disponíveis nas bases de dados PubMed, MEDLINE e Google Acadêmico em associação com biobancos disponíveis virtualmente, como o Clinvar - NCBI. Foram identificadas diferentes tipos de mutações no gene TP53, como mutações de ponto (do inglês, SNP), variações de número de cópias (do inglês SNP, CNVs) e inserção/Deleção (do inglês, do InDel), as quais estão relacionadas com a alteração na função protéica e no processo da carcinogênese de neoplasias como o câncer colorretal, pulmonar e mamário. Estudos confirmaram a relação de mutações no gene TP53 e processos de oncogênese, contudo é difícil mensurar qual o papel das mutações no prognóstico da doença, uma vez que o câncer é uma doença multifatorial que engloba fatores genéticos e ambientais.

EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF PERFORMANCE INDICATORS OF THE DESIGN OF A FLAT SOLAR COLLECTOR ABSORBER WITH ARTIFICIAL SECONDARY SURFACE
Authors: Курасов И.С. 
Published: December 2023

Приведен обзор современных методов разработки новых конструкций высокоэффективных плоских солнечных коллекторов. Дана краткая характеристика параметров оценки эффективности различных типов конструкций. Предложен удобный для анализа вид уравнения КПД плоских солнечных тепловых коллекторов, позволяющий экспериментально оценить влияние оребрения на значение КПД. Проведен ряд экспериментальных исследований на образцах абсорберов с продольными ребрами и шипами-полусферами. Анализ массива экспериментальных данных показал рост производительность абсорбера с продольными ребрами на 5,44 %, при уменьшении коэффициента оптических потерь на 4,11 %. Доказано, что наличие оребрения определенной высоты не приводит к значительному росту теплопотерь абсорберов, как утверждалось ранее. Тепловизионным обследованием подтверждено, что увеличение поглощательной способности абсорбера сопровождается ростом средней температуры панели и незначительным увеличением радиационных теплопотерь. Данный эффект предлагается корректировать за счет изменения гидравлического режима теплообменника абсорбера в сторону увеличения расхода теплоносителя.
The article provides an overview of modern methods for developing new designs of high-efficiency flat solar collectors. First, I briefly describe the parameters for evaluating the effectiveness of various types of structures. Then, I propose to analyze a convenient form of the efficiency equation of flat solar thermal collectors, which allows us to experimentally evaluate the effect of secondary surface on the efficiency value. I carried out a number of experimental studies on samples of absorbers with longitudinal ribs and hemispherical spikes. Analysis of the body of experimental data showed an increase in the performance of the absorber with longitudinal ribs by 5,44 % with a decrease in the optical loss coefficient by 4,11 %. It is proved that the presence of ribs of a certain height does not lead to a significant increase in heat loss of absorbers, as previously stated. Thermal imaging examination confirmed that an increase in the absorption capacity of the absorber is accompanied by an increase in the average temperature of the panel and a slight increase in radiation heat loss. Is propose to correct this effect by changing the hydraulic mode of the absorber heat exchanger in the direction of increasing the coolant flow.

Published: December 2023

Background: A new policy has occurred in the world of education due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has changed learning that must come to a class or a building or campus, to become independent learning, including nursing students. In this case, they are still required to have abilities by existing competency standards, including cognitive, affective, and psychomotor abilities that can be achieved by applying case-based learning and project-based learning models.
Objectives: Find out the problem-based learning model in the competency achievement of nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: The research method used is analytic observational with a case-control approach. The variables in this research are teaching methodology as an independent variable and competency achievement as a dependent variable. The research was conducted for 5 months at the Diploma Nursing Study Program, Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Jember. The data collection technique in this study was by using an instrument in the form of Nursing Clinical Exercise (NCEx). The research respondents were Diploma Nursing Study Program Students with a total of 101 treatment groups with the criteria of having passed in 2022.
Results: The research results show that learning models based on Case case-based learning and project-based learning are very important to develop in the classroom, laboratory, and clinical learning where students need real conditions about real cases that require direct identification and recognition. The use of PjBL may lead to improved competency achievement among nursing students. This could be reflected in higher scores on competency assessments, better clinical performance, and a deeper understanding of nursing concepts. Students also really need to be in real contact with nursing cases, especially the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic which is a challenge for educators and students in the world of health.
Conclusion: The problem-based learning method is very helpful for students in meeting the competency targets for graduates of the third diploma in nursing.

Background: Pandemic of Covid-19 situation made people to adapt wiht new normal habitually. Health promotion behavior may determine by perceived benefit, barrier, and self-efficacy.
Objectives: This research aimed to know the effect of perceived benefit, barrier, and self-efficacy to health promotion behavior in Palembang during pandemic Covid-19.
Methods: This study done with cross-sectional design to 183 respondents who lived in Palembang taken by randomized with online questionnaire. The instrument of this study conducted from Pender’s HPM model developed by author. Study result analyzed by SEM-PLS approach to test direct and indirect effects.
Results: The results showed that there was not significant effect of self-efficacy to barrier (β= -0.137; p= 0.067) and health promotion behavior (β= -0.026; p= 0.711), but the findings also showed significant effect of self-efficacy to benefit (β= 0.212; p= 0.017), benefit to barrier (β= -0.152; p= 0.046), barrier to health promotion behavior (β= -0.141; p= 0.039), and benefit to health promotion behavior (β= 0.331; p< 0.001). Otherwise, there was also found significant indirect effect of self-efficacy to health promotion behavior by benefit as mediator (β= 0.07; p= 0.026). Overall model give 14.2% to HBP.
Conclusion: Perceived benefits and perceived barriers are significant predictors of individual health promotion behavior. Meanwhile, self-efficacy does not have a significant effect. In addition, self-efficacy has a significant influence on perceived benefits and perceived benefits on perceived barriers. Self-efficacy also has an indirect influence on health promotion behavior through perceived benefits as mediators
