HISTORY OF MYCOLOGICAL RESEARCH AT ODESA (NOVOROSSIA) UNIVERSITY (1865–1890)

Introduction. The development of mycological research in the south of Ukraine in the mid-nineteenth century was caused by a number of factors: the emergence of mycology as a scientific field, the growth of the population, for which the medical aspects of studying fungi causing dangerous diseases of humans and animals were relevant; active development of agriculture, which was significantly damaged by fungal diseases of cultivated plants. With the opening of Novorossiysk University, its biologists began to pay attention to these problems. There are only fragmentary facts about their research in the literature, scattered in different sources, so we also considered it necessary to present the materials we found from their personal biographies. The aim of our work was to study the history of mycological research at Odesa (Novorossiysk) University in the third quarter of the nineteenth century. Research methods. We studied the minutes of the meetings of the Academic Council of the Imperial Novorossiysk University (INU), the Novorossiysk Society of Naturalists (NNS), the Society of Agriculture of Southern Russia (SSAR), and the Odesa Branch of the Imperial Russian Society of Horticulture (OVIRTS); we studied the scientific publications of these institutions and societies; and we clarified the biographical data of little-known scientists from the documents of various institutions. In order to create a single holistic picture of the development of mycological research in the second half of the nineteenth century, the chronology of the accumulation of new knowledge in this field was studied. Main results. At the initial stage of mycological research at Odesa University (in the second half of the nineteenth century) in the south of Ukraine, the attention of scientists (M. K. Sredynskyi, I. F. Koshchuk, V. F. Khmelevskyi) was focused on the study of mycological diversity in the region. They studied (I. F. Koshchug, V. F. Khmelevskyi, I. M. Krasylshchyk) diseases of agricultural plants caused by parasitic fungi and methods of controlling them, the biology of individual pathogens of these diseases (L. S. Tsenkovskyi, Y. Y. Valts, L. A. Rishavi). For the first time in the south of Ukraine, fungi-parasites of harmful insects (bread beetle and beet weevil) were studied and the method of their reproduction and use in biological control of these insects was introduced (I. I. Mechnikov, I. M. Krasylshyk, V. I. Shmankevych, O. O. Yanovych, O. I. Pohibko and E. L. Rekalo).

Clinically significant changes in genes and variants associated with epilepsy over time: implications for re-analysis

Despite the significant advances in understanding the genetic architecture of epilepsy, many patients do not receive a molecular diagnosis after genomic testing. Re-analysing existing genomic data has emerged as a potent method to increase diagnostic yields—providing the benefits of genomic-enabled medicine to more individuals afflicted with a range of different conditions. The primary drivers for these new diagnoses are the discovery of novel gene-disease and variants-disease relationships; however, most decisions to trigger re-analysis are based on the passage of time rather than the accumulation of new knowledge. To explore how our understanding of a specific condition changes and how this impacts re-analysis of genomic data from epilepsy patients, we developed Vigelint. This approach combines the information from PanelApp and ClinVar to characterise how the clinically relevant genes and causative variants available to laboratories change over time, and this approach to five clinical-grade epilepsy panels. Applying the Vigelint pipeline to these panels revealed highly variable patterns in new, clinically relevant knowledge becoming publicly available. This variability indicates that a more dynamic approach to re-analysis may benefit the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy patients. Moreover, this work suggests that Vigelint can provide empirical data to guide more nuanced, condition-specific approaches to re-analysis.

Deep learning models for price forecasting of financial time series: A review of recent advancements: 2020–2022

AbstractAccurately predicting the prices of financial time series is essential and challenging for the financial sector. Owing to recent advancements in deep learning techniques, deep learning models are gradually replacing traditional statistical and machine learning models as the first choice for price forecasting tasks. This shift in model selection has led to a notable rise in research related to applying deep learning models to price forecasting, resulting in a rapid accumulation of new knowledge. Therefore, we conducted a literature review of relevant studies over the past 3 years with a view to aiding researchers and practitioners in the field. This review delves deeply into deep learning‐based forecasting models, presenting information on model architectures, practical applications, and their respective advantages and disadvantages. In particular, detailed information is provided on advanced models for price forecasting, such as Transformers, generative adversarial networks (GANs), graph neural networks (GNNs), and deep quantum neural networks (DQNNs). The present contribution also includes potential directions for future research, such as examining the effectiveness of deep learning models with complex structures for price forecasting, extending from point prediction to interval prediction using deep learning models, scrutinizing the reliability and validity of decomposition ensembles, and exploring the influence of data volume on model performance.This article is categorized under: Technologies > Prediction Technologies > Artificial Intelligence

Lessons from a preschool intervention study carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic

The article describes how a series of adaptions enabled us to carry out a controlled intervention study in 15 preschools, with 420 children and about 40 preschool teachers, during the Covid‑19 pandemic restrictions. The original overarching aim of the study was to develop and evaluate an early math intervention supporting children from low-SES environments to develop basic mathematical skills. The two main research questions addressed preschool children’s early math development using a digital play-&-learn game (anonymized), and the pedagogical impact of an integrated teacher resources package. Four guiding principles complemented the research questions: accumulation of new knowledge, collaboration & participatory design, experimental control & ecological validity, and real-world applicability. The focus of this article is on how data collections methods and analyses were adapted to handle the constraints induced by Covid‑19 without deviating from the original research questions and the four guiding principles. The adaptions clearly entailed methodological limitations. Yet the study demonstrates the possibility to conduct a remotely controlled effect study encompassing both ecological validity and real-world applicability

Continuous Learning: The Solution to Stay on Digital Labour Market

The labour market is constantly changing due to the development of technology. Technology is expanding as the need for data processing, analysis, and use increases. Technology not only becomes more skilled than man, but also urges him to live faster. Technology makes economic processes easier and faster. The human resource will assume the role of orchestrator of technology, but in order to do so, it must be available to learn permanently. The case study will focus on describing the main benefits of continuous learning for the workforce. For employees, the accumulation of new knowledge gives them the opportunity to improve their skills. For the unemployed, continuous learning gives them the opportunity to get hired. Therefore, we will identify whether employees are more interested in continuous learning. Additionally, we will identify whether the occupation that employees have influences the rate of participation in continuous learning. As the labour market is placed in the context of industrialisation 4.0, it is necessary to talk about continuous learning in the direction of digitalisation. In the digital economy, it is important that the workforce has at least a basic knowledge of technology in order to keep their job. Technological unemployment occurs precisely because the human resource is exceeded by the new demands of the workplace. Thus, we will identify the level of digitisation at the European level but also the way in which the population has acquired digital skills. We will also highlight the fact that the share of people with ICT skills and knowledge is higher in the case of employees than in the case of the unemployed. The purpose of the paper is to present comparatively the benefits that continuous learning has for both a person who already has a job and a person without a job, but also the impact that the industrial revolution 4.0 has on continuous learning.

Experimentul - metodă de predare a biologiei

In the current work, the results of the experiment carried out in the biology classes with the involvement of the 7th grade students, from the Dorotcaia Theoretical High School, Dubasari district, are presented. The experiment was one of research and description. Through this teaching method, the vegetative organs of soybean plants were identified: root, stem and leaf. As a result, the biology lessons were attractive, the accumulation of new knowledge was more effective, and the students were motivated and curious to discover the phenomena accompanying the growth and development processes of soybean plants.

EXCAVATIONS OF V. A. BOHUSEVYCH IN CHERNIHIV IN 1947 AND 1949

The excavations of V. A. Bohusevych in Chernihiv in 1947 and 1949 are analyzed in the paper. In the first year, the work was carried out on the terrace of the Desna River — on the Сitadel (the Dytynets), Okolny Grad and near the Eletsky Monastery. On the Сitadel V. A. Bohusevych looked for the remains of a barrow cemetery and did not watch the pits of buildings deepened into earth. In 1949, the expedition managed to explore the pits of the buildings not only on the Citadel (as it was in 1947) but also on other areas in its eastern part. Works were widely carried out in the Okolny Grad which allowed to obtain materials about the planning of this part of the city outscirt. Excavations have been carried out near the Eletsky Monastery. The results of different years of research allow us to compare them and draw the conclusion — in the process of expedition participants gained some archaeological experience, began understand better the structure of the cultural layer and filling the pits of buildings. The shortcomings in the work of the head of expedition can be explained by the lack of archaeological experience in working with the «dry» cultural layer. Before the war, V. A. Bohusevych worked in Pskov and Novgorod and dealt with «wet» cultural layers and the remains of land structures.
 Each archeological site has its own characteristics and each researcher, starting the work, develops the methods, learns to understand these features and enriches his experience in the research process. In archeology there are no direct ways to accumulate new knowledge. New materials refute false theories, and their verification allows us to increase our understanding of the development of various parts of Chernihiv, to open new pages in its history.
 The first years of research by V. A. Bohusevych in Ukraine were this very period of accumulation of new knowledge, which he lacked due to low-quality training caused by poor state of archaeological science in the prewar period.

G.W. Leibniz: From the “Symbolic Revolution” in Mathematics to the Concept of Suppositive Cognition

The transition from the exclusive use of words to the predominant use of symbols in mathematics continued for centuries, but by the seventeenth century it turned out to be explosive. This phenomenon became known as the “symbolic revolution” in mathematics. One of its main outcomes was the discovery of mathematical analysis almost simultaneously and independently by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. To both scientists their discovery served as the basis for far-reaching philosophical generalizations. For Leibniz, it led to the concept of suppositive cognition, the opposite of the prevailing notions at that time. He was the first to argue that the criterion of clarity and distinctness in cognition is impossible, because it relies on intuition about primary concepts, but these are in fact confuse and undistinct, and the foundation of such cognition is shaky. Using the successful use of symbols in mathematics as a model, Leibniz arrives at the concept of blind or symbolic cognition, cognitio caeca, which makes it possible to achieve validity and verifiability of results without reliance on intuition or primary concepts. The truthfulness of the result is found to depend more on grammar, which determines the substitution rules of some signs, or characters, for others, than on the connection between signs and the signified. Leibniz’s opening debate served as a prologue to the fundamental modernization of scientific discourse in the early Modern Time. Although he failed to achieve entirely his philosophical goals, the concept itself turned out to be extremely productive and modern, effectively decoupling the progress of natural science from its philosophical foundations. This innovative cognitive ideology opened up enormous prospects for the formation and accumulation of new knowledge, closed by the rigid requirements of the Cartesian paradigm of science still dominant in Leibniz’s time.

Folklore Terminology in the Ethnocultural Discourse of the Borderlands

The issues of interethnic relations in folklore have been always relevant in the history of science and culture of Ukraine and other European countries. The study of these processes already has significant achievements and the corresponding conceptual and terminological apparatus, meanwhile constantly being replenished with data from the other fields of knowledge. Various facts of borrowings, interactions and transformations in folklore are recorded and described at different levels – from plots to individual elements. In particular, similar studies on the material of multi-ethnic – Slavic and non-Slavic communities – are conducted by the scientists of the NAS of Ukraine Maksym Rylskyi Institute of Art Studies, Folkloristics and Ethnology. In addition to those mentioned in the article the arguments and conclusions of the other European scientists – from Hungary, Poland and others – are described. At the same time, it should be noted that these investigations often are short of theoretical generalizations, a conceptual basis and a reliable methodology. Accumulation of new knowledge and research on the terminology of frontier study requires deeper consideration and unification of folklore terminology from this territory, consideration of oral phenomena in close application with other, related sciences, taking into account the latest advances in cultural and social anthropology, the other areas of knowledge, modern frontiers phenomena, which include folklore interactions. The mentioned studies further need the systematization of the material in this area, common efforts of the scientists from various countries. The scholars distinguish their different levels (thematic, genre, lexical, etc.), designate them with appropriate terms that may correspond to linguistic or other terminology, and generally require an interdisciplinary approach to reach wider world horizons.

MODOMICS: a database of RNA modification pathways. 2021 update.

The MODOMICS database has been, since 2006, a manually curated and centralized resource, storing and distributing comprehensive information about modified ribonucleosides. Originally, it only contained data on the chemical structures of modified ribonucleosides, their biosynthetic pathways, the location of modified residues in RNA sequences, and RNA-modifying enzymes. Over the years, prompted by the accumulation of new knowledge and new types of data, it has been updated with new information and functionalities. In this new release, we have created a catalog of RNA modifications linked to human diseases, e.g., due to mutations in genes encoding modification enzymes. MODOMICS has been linked extensively to RCSB Protein Data Bank, and sequences of experimentally determined RNA structures with modified residues have been added. This expansion was accompanied by including nucleotide 5′-monophosphate residues. We redesigned the web interface and upgraded the database backend. In addition, a search engine for chemically similar modified residues has been included that can be queried by SMILES codes or by drawing chemical molecules. Finally, previously available datasets of modified residues, biosynthetic pathways, and RNA-modifying enzymes have been updated. Overall, we provide users with a new, enhanced, and restyled tool for research on RNA modification. MODOMICS is available at https://iimcb.genesilico.pl/modomics/.

Theoretical bases for academics’ potential development: foreign and domestic experience

Ensuring and improving the quality of teaching and learning, in particular the academics’ potential development, is reflected in strategic European and domestic documents, namely in the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union, the Paris Communiqué, the Strategy for Higher Education in Ukraine for 2021-2031 and others. The expediency for academics’ potential development is confirmed by the results of a national survey on the needs for the development of Ukrainian universities in the process of reforming higher education in the context of European integration. The article highlights the problems of academics’ potential development. Based on foreign and domestic experience, the theoretical bases for academics’ potential development, in particular the conceptual and terminological apparatus and structural components of teaching metacompetence are substantiated. The concept «potential of an academic» is defined as a set of intellectual, intangible resources, conditions and opportunities created for the production and accumulation of new knowledge, ideas, technologies, competencies and other productive properties at the university, which combines two levels of connections functioning in unity. The first level of connections are resources that are the result of past and present, and the second – opportunities, i.e. those abilities and connections that are future-oriented, constantly changing, evolving, forming new abilities, characteristics, including elements of the future development. The following components are distinguished in the structure of teaching metacompetence: prognostic; design; objective; innovative; pedagogical partnership; organizational; information and digital; reflexive; linguistic and communicative; inclusive; motivational; health-preserving; emotional-ethical and evaluative-analytical. The development of the above components of teaching metacompetence will help ensure the quality of higher education and increase the competitiveness of the university in the educational services market.

НЕСПЕЦИФИЧЕСКИЙ ЯЗВЕННЫЙ КОЛИТ И COVID-19, СЛУЧАЙ ИЗ ПРАКТИКИ

Background. COVID-19 infection keeps changing our understanding of its clinical course when associated with various somatic diseases. Objective. To present a clinical case of a patient with non-specific ulcerative colitis (NUC) and COVID-19 infection. Material and methods: medical documentation, general clinical, laboratory and instrumental data as well as histological examination of bioptates stained with hematoxylin and eosin that were obtained during colonoscopy. Results. The article presents a case history of a patient with manifestations of severe total NUC developed in association with the subclinical form of COVID-19 infection, the former being the cause of death in concomitant pathology. Conclusions. This clinical case describes a variant of an unfavorable outcome of NUC, one of the reasons for the manifestation of which was the atypical form of COVID-19 infection, which became a trigger for an autoimmune inflammatory process in the intestine. The accumulation of new knowledge about the features of the pathogenesis and manifestations of both pathologies will make it possible to improve the effectiveness of treatment and predict the course and outcomes of combined pathology.

The Vocabulary Teaching Mode Based on the Theory of Constructivism

Vocabulary teaching is an important research topic in English teaching, this paper combines constructivist theory with English vocabulary teaching and proposes a new model of vocabulary teaching on the basis of qualitative analysis and modular construction, that is “The Word Parameter Contextualized Meaning Construction Mode and The Embodiment-activation Schematic Construction Mode”, the former point out that some words, in vocabulary teaching, do not appear in the vocabulary list, but teachers can hint parameters or clues in the context, such as: time, categories, comparison etc. to guide students to recognize and construct the meaning of unknown words autonomously; the latter means that the human brain systematically stores the learned knowledge and experience and divides it into several units to form a "schema" of which some incomplete places will continue to be supplemented and improved with people's cognition and practice’s development. At the same time, the accumulation of new knowledge will activate the old knowledge in the brain, which enables learners to connect messy knowledge into a systematic network. It is worth promoting in teaching practice. This study selects the college English textbook "New Vision" as the case material to analyze and prove that this new type of vocabulary teaching mode not only can broaden the teaching thinking of teachers and improve teaching efficiency, but also can help students explore the cognitive laws of vocabulary, build a vocabulary system, and effectively stimulate their potential in the short term.

A method of transformation and current progress in transgenic research on cucumbers and Cucurbita species.

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and Cucurbita species (squashes, pumpkins, and gourds), belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family, are among the major vegetable crops in the world. Transgenic approaches could contribute to the accumulation of new knowledge of these species and to the development of elite cultivars. Despite this, research reports using transformants of these species are very limited so far. One of the reasons for this may be that although there are effective transformation methods, these methods are not well known among researchers. In the present review, we describe efficient protocols for the transformation of cucumber and squash plants and mention possible pitfalls in and advice for following these protocols. In addition, we discuss the current progress of genetic transformation research using cucumbers and squash, including genome editing.

Concept, the essence of innovation and technological structures of agricultural business at enterprises in Ukraine

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to: generalize scientists' interpretation of the concept and essence of innovation; providing their author's definition; assessment of the development level of agro-industrial business in Ukrainian enterprises by technological structures; theoretical and methodological substantiation of the principles and development of practical recommendations aimed at the objective necessity of innovative activation development and increase of competitiveness of the agro-industrial business enterprises in the conditions of economy globalization. Methodology of research. The basic principles of economic theory, scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists, legislative and normative acts of the state authorities of Ukraine on the issues of innovative development of agro-industrial complex became the theoretical and methodical basis. The following research methods have been used: the dialectical method of cognition – in the study of transformational changes in the process of innovative development of agribusiness; historical – in the study of the evolution of innovation and the formation of technological structures for economic development; theoretical generalization and comparison – to study scientists' interpretation of the concept and nature of innovation; monographic – for coverage of indicators by technological structures; abstract and logical – in the theoretical generalization of the essence, the author's interpretation of the concept of innovation in the agro-industrial business, coverage of the content of scientific work and the formation of conclusions and proposals from this study. Findings. The article describes the historical process of innovative development of national economies of the world. It is concluded that innovation is the main functional characteristic of doing business. The goal of the entrepreneur is to use new, resource-saving technologies to produce high quality products, increase their sales, income and profits, achieve economic and social effects. Historically, 7 major technological structures have been identified. Each technological structure is distinguished by the development of a certain set of basic knowledge-intensive industries and technologies, characteristics of the organization of production, and is reflected by the relevant indicators of the latest achievements of scientific and technological progress. In developed countries (USA, Germany, England, France, Japan, China, etc.), technologies of the 5th form (period of its dominance 1970-2010) prevail and technologies of the 6th technological structure (period – 2010-2040) are formed). The industry of Ukraine, so far, is characterized mainly by technologies of the 3rd and 4th technological structures, their share in industrial production occupies about 96% and the share of industrial production of the 5th and 6th technological structures – 4%. In Ukraine, both the volume of production and the investment of capital for technical re-equipment and modernization are mainly at the level of the 3rd technological structure. Therefore, domestic industrial and food products cannot be competitive in the global market. Originality. The author's interpretation of the concept of "innovation in the agro-industrial business" is proposed. It is the accumulation of new knowledge, materialized: in high-efficiency, resource-saving technologies, technological elements; new varieties and hybrids of plants, breeds and breed groups of animals; machines, equipment, working parts and mechanisms; new types of fertilizers, chemical plant and animal protection products; new progressive forms of organization of production and labour, types of services, etc., established in research institutions recognized as expedient for use in practice, ensuring the economic and social efficiency and competitiveness of agro-industrial production. Practical value. Scientific, methodological and practical recommendations have been proposed, which makes it possible to develop the basic organizational, economic and managerial aspects regarding activation of capital investment for technical re-equipment and introduction of innovative, resource-saving technologies in the components of agro-industrial business of Ukraine. Key words: innovation; innovative process; innovative technologies; costs; economic effect; social effect; agro-industrial business; technological structures; product quality; competitiveness.
