Formation of Readiness of Future Teachers of Physical Education for Animation Activity in Secondary Schools of Ukraine

The purpose of the study is to determine the content and organizational and pedagogical conditions of professional training of future teachers of physical education for animation activities in secondary schools and involves the development and experimental testing of the relevant conceptual model. For a physical education teacher, animation is a purposeful activity that provides the formation of a spiritually and physically health, socially active personality of a student capable of self-development and self-improvement in the field of leisure. The structural components of the readiness of future physical education teachers for animation activities, which is considered as a systemic quality of personality, are motivational and target, cognitive and content, activity and creative, and reflexive and evaluative. The effectiveness of professional training of future physical education teachers for animation activities in secondary school is ensured by the implementation of a set of organizational and pedagogical conditions, namely: orientation of the content of pedagogical education of future physical education teachers on the formation of readiness for animation activities; directing the practical training of students to the development of skills in the design and organization of animation activities in a secondary school; formation of students' holistic idea of the essence of animation activities by involving them in the developmental animation educational environment.

Culturological meaning of the metaphor of “home” in the works Of Michel Houellebecq: “old” and “new” France

The subject of this research is the phenomenon of conceptual metaphor in the works of Michel Houellebecq. Leaning on the cognitive theory of metaphor, the author traces the methods of conceptualization of “new identity” within cultural identity of a modern Frenchman. The article highlights the metaphor of “home”, and reveals the methods of conceptualization of “new identity” (“new” France as a “new home”) in its relation to the cultural tradition (“old” France as an “old home”). M. Houellebecq's criticism of the political myth of “pan-European identity” is followed on the basis of the metaphor of “home”; the reasons of Houellebecq's objections against the simplified division of the levels of such identity into local, national, and pan-European are determined. The goal of this research lies in identification of various aspects of cultural reality of the “new” France reflected in the works of M. Houellebecq using the metaphor of “home” (sorrows of the object of threat on disruption of cultural tradition, unification of lifestyle, and crisis of values). The relevance of culturological analysis is defined by the ability to observe the process of conceptualization of “European identity” in French artistic culture as a moment of cultural dynamics. Reference to the texts Of M. Houellebecq revealed the cognate concepts used for realization of the metaphor of “home” (“old France”/ “old home”, “castle”; “new France” / “hotel”, “high-rise building”, “tower”, ”poultry farm”); as well the predicates that disclose certain aspects of conceptualization (“empty”, “old”, “confined”, “rural”, “destroyed”, “awful”, “disgusting”). The novelty lies in substantiation of heuristic potential of consideration of the image created By M. Houellebecq as a cultural metaphor, which not only reflects social moods, but also designs cultural reality. “Home” manifests as the antithesis to the actual feeling of homelessness on the background of achievements of industrial civilization; it becomes a slogan that fills “emptiness” of everyday existence with cultural meaning. The main result is the substantiation of the writer's contribution to the development of conceptual model of identity of a modern Frenchman using the metaphor of home”.

The Brief Strategic Treatment of Cardiophobia: A Clinical Case Study

Many individuals presenting to medical settings with heart-related symptoms for which no medical explanation is found might suffer from cardiophobia, but this condition is still poorly identified and addressed. This article presents a case of cardiophobia treated in an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation unit and, for the first time, describes the application of brief strategic therapy for the treatment of this condition. In the case reported, the first therapeutic encounter and the key elements of the strategic approach are described in detail with the aim to explain how brief strategic therapy works and how it can be used to identify and address cardiophobia-related behaviors. A 64-year-old male presented to cardiac rehabilitation reporting intense anxiety-provoking heart palpitations, and believing he was at risk of dying from a heart attack. After 3 sessions, an overall improvement in heart-related bodily sensations followed a decrease in the patient’s continuous checking of his heartbeat and seeking reassurance—factors that were largely responsible for the persistence of the problem. Moreover, quantitative evaluation showed increased scores of mood state at the end of treatment. This improvement persisted at the 18-month follow-up. This case is an interesting example of how brief strategic therapy can contribute to the development of a new conceptual model for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiophobia. Still, more systematic research in the field is needed to prove the efficacy and effectiveness of this therapeutic approach on symptoms of heart-focused anxiety.

Investigating the influence of transparency on the adoption of e-Government in Indonesia

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to extend and validate the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) for investigating the effect of transparency on the adoption of e-Government in Indonesia from the perspective of citizens. Design/methodology/approach A comprehensive review of the related literature leads to the development of a transparency-focused conceptual model to better understanding the adoption of e-Government. Structural equation modelling is used for analysing the data collected from the citizens in Indonesia. Findings This study confirms that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions and transparency are the critical factors for evaluating the citizen adoption of e-Government in Indonesia. In addition, transparency is found to be the strongest factor that influences the decision of Indonesian citizens to adopt e-Government. Research limitations/implications From the theoretical perspective, the use of the UTAUT model is extended by incorporating the transparency factor that is vital to the adoption of e-Government in developing countries such as Indonesia. Practical implications In terms of managerial and policy implications, this research offers the Indonesian Government suggestions on how the adoption of e-Government can be improved. Originality/value This is the first study that extends and empirically validates the UTAUT model with transparency for evaluating the adoption of e-Government from the perspective of citizens in Indonesia. It demonstrates how the transparency factor can be incorporated to better understand the adoption of e-Government in such a context.

Psychological Peculiarities of the Development of Junior Students’ Voluntary Attention in the Process of Teaching English at Secondary School

The purpose of this article is to study micro-age properties of stability and concentration of the 1 grade students’ voluntary attention at secondary school, to determine the levels of their development, interrelation of attention with junior schoolchildren’s thinking, as well as psychological and pedagogical conditions for activating junior students’ voluntary attention to increase the efficiency in learning English.Methods of the research. The following theoretical methods of the research were used to solve the tasks formulated in the article: empirical method, psychological and pedagogical experiment, structural and functional methods, the methods of the analysis, systematization, modeling, generalization. The results of the research. The following new thesis has been elaborated: interconnections between the identified properties of voluntary attention (stability and concentration) thinking and junior students’ academic success in learning English determine their positive interactions in the process of speech development; it is also proved that properties of voluntary attention influence students’ individual psychological peculiarities (anxiety, communication, self-assessment, temperament properties) and vice vesa – individual characteristic features of students may have their impact on the main properties (stability and concentration) of voluntary attention. Use of visual aids at the English language classes directly influence the mechanisms of formation of junior students’ voluntary attention as well as their individual psychological peculiarities therefore contributing to development of young learners’ speech and communicative skills. A new conceptual model of development of young learners’ voluntary attention has been created, which takes into account its typical individual characteristic features (the degree of concentration on a particular task, the level of distribution of attention in the process of describing objects using collage visual aids). A new technology on the basis of English language exercises directed towards psychotherapeutic influence on the development of children’s basic properties of voluntary attention in their connection with thinking was created. Criteria, indicators and a set of methods, including author’s psychological training activity, are presented to diagnose development of main properties of 6–8-year-old students’ voluntary attention. It was proved that effectively used visual aids in the educational process have a great impact on the development of young learners’ monologue speech, reduce the level of their anxiety, improve communicative skills, motivate schoolchildren to be active, develop their interests and finally increase their self-esteem. Conclusions. Criterion-oriented diagnostics in the research helps identify the actual data within these age categories that characterizes five different levels of development of stability and concentration of voluntary attention in comparison with the level that characterizes optimally realized age potential of this category of young learners. In the experimental research a large amount of factual data is obtained and systematized, having characterized individual and individual-typical peculiarities of stability and concentration as the properties of voluntary attention in typical learning conditions, which can be taken into account when organizing psychological and pedagogical service at primary school. Purposeful and systematic formation of 6-8-year-old schoolchildren’s self-control actions may be realized if teacher is aimed towards not only the development of voluntary attention, but also implements the technology of forming mental actions, applies the individual pedagogical approach in teaching junior students, using diagnostic data in its dynamics on the basis of early correction of applied learning technology.

Advancements and Use of OMIC Technologies in the Field of Bioleaching: A Review

Bioleaching is an environmentally safe as well as economically feasible alternative to the conventional process of metal extraction from low-grade ores. It involves the recovery of metals through microbial oxidation of metallic and/or sulfuric compounds. Wide varieties of acidophilic microbes present in the mining sites, which are necessary to decrease the pH, eventually contribute to the biomining efficiency. Ongoing development and recent advanced techniques will ensure that the implementation of genetic engineering might improve the extraction rate within less time period. The use of OMIC (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) techniques in bioleaching is gaining interest worldwide. In the last decade, a number of studies have been carried out for the determination of bioleaching diversity, development of conceptual and functional metabolic models, analysis of microbe-mineral interaction, etc. by using various OMIC technologies. These technologies are used to improve the understanding of various microbial activities during the bioleaching process, which helps in the development of industrial-scale bioleaching process.

Holocene climate forcings and lacustrine regime shifts in the Indian summer monsoon realm

AbstractExtreme climate events have been identified both in meteorological and long‐term proxy records from the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) realm. However, the potential of palaeoclimate data for understanding mechanisms triggering climate extremes over long time scales has not been fully exploited. A distinction between proxies indicating climate change, environment, and ecosystem shift is crucial for enabling a comparison with forcing mechanisms (e.g. El‐Niño Southern Oscillation). In this study we decouple these factors using data analysis techniques [multiplex recurrence network (MRN) and principal component analyses (PCA)] on multiproxy data from two lakes located in different climate regions – Lonar Lake (ISM dominated) and the high‐altitude Tso Moriri Lake (ISM and westerlies influenced). Our results indicate that (i) MRN analysis, an indicator of changing environmental conditions, is associated with droughts in regions with a single climate driver but provides ambiguous results in regions with multiple climate/environmental drivers; (ii) the lacustrine ecosystem was ‘less sensitive’ to forcings during the early Holocene wetter periods; (iii) archives in climate zones with a single climate driver were most sensitive to regime shifts; (iv) data analyses are successful in identifying the timing of onset of climate change, and distinguishing between extrinsic and intrinsic (lacustrine) regime shifts by comparison with forcing mechanisms. Our results enable development of conceptual models to explain links between forcings and regional climate change that can be tested in climate models to provide an improved understanding of the ISM dynamics and their impact on ecosystems. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Modelling tools for quantitative evaluations on the Versilia coastal aquifer system (Tuscany, Italy) in terms of groundwater components and possible effects of climate extreme events

The Versilia coastal plain hosts an important and strategic aquifer for water supply. Like all coastal aquifers, it is particularly vulnerable to the saltwater intrusion, which can be amplified not only by fresh water over-exploitation, but also by the effects of climate change, including the increase of extreme events. For an optimal management of this precious resource and for its protection both in quantitative and qualitative terms, an adequate knowledge of the aquifer system is necessary through the development of conceptual and mathematical hydrogeological models. The conceptual hydrogeological model was defined on the base of an integrated multidisciplinary approach with the elaboration of stratigraphic, hydrogeological and geochemical-isotopic data. Subsequently, groundwater flow mathematical models were created using the ModFlow code and Groundwater Vistas like graphical interface, subsequently transferred to the Freewat open platform. The models enabled acquiring further knowledge about this aquifer system and to identify and, where possible to quantify, the main processes and groundwater components involved, including the seawater ingression. An important groundwater component, both in terms of water quantity and quality,resulted widespread in the fan of the Versilia River and mainly fed by the river itself in the foothill zone. Although this component seems to be able to guarantee relative protection against marine ingression, in the summer season some piezometric depressions tied to groundwater exploitation tend to expand and move towards the coast, thus favouring the seawater intrusion process. These issues can be amplified by the extreme rainy events that frequently occur in the Apuan Alps region. The huge quantity of water that quickly flows by the river up to the sea during extreme events represents a lack of feeding respect to the aquifer, and consequently the mitigation role of the fan component towards seawater intrusion can be significantly weakened. Thanks to the water budget achieved by numerical model and considering real extreme events recently occurred in the Apuan-Versilian region it was possible to make considerations about possible effects these climate regimes on the aquifer system. As outcomes, we concluded that extreme events as those occurred in the area in the past, and awaited more frequently in the future, represent a concrete threat for the coastal aquifer system that over next decades could suffer more and more seawater intrusion. Given the reliance of local human activities on groundwater, far-sighted actions of water management (e.g. managed aquifer recharge) are recommended for mitigating such as climate effects.

Protocol for development, calibration and validation of the Patient-Reported Inventory of Self-Management of Chronic Conditions (PRISM-CC).

IntroductionAssessing and measuring patients’ chronic condition self-management needs are critical to quality health care and to related research. One in three adults around the world live with multiple chronic conditions. While many patient-reported measures of self-management have been developed, none has emerged as the gold standard, and all have one or more of the following limitations: (1) they fail to measure the different domains of self-management important to patients, (2) they lack sufficient specificity to support patient-centred care or identify the specific components of self-management interventions that work and/or (3) they lack suitability for patients with multiple chronic conditions.Methods and analysisThe Patient-Reported Inventory of Self-Management of Chronic Conditions (PRISM-CC) is being developed to overcome these shortcomings. It will measure respondents’ perceived success (or difficulty) in self-managing seven domains important to patients. The protocol has three phases. Phase 1 is conceptual model development and item generation. Phase 2 is assessment of the relevance and understanding of items by people with chronic conditions. Phase 3 is item analysis, dimensionality assessment, scaling and preliminary validation of the PRISM-CC using an online survey of people with chronic conditions (n~750). The expected completion date is early 2021.Ethics and disseminationThis study will adhere to the Canadian Tri-Council Policy Statement on Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans. Ethics approval for all phases has been obtained from the Nova Scotia Health Authority Research Ethics Board. Once completed, the PRISM-CC will be made available for research and healthcare at minimal to no cost.

A united front towards consumer-focused sponsorship

In marketing, sponsorship has been considered as an essential marketing strategy and communication tool. Despite the continued growth of sponsorship research relative to the effectiveness of sponsorship in marketing, a number of sponsorship factors, its effects, and the individual information-processing mechanics remain unexplored. The current research extends on previous conceptual work and incorporates a number of controllable and uncontrollable sponsorship factors such as antecedent factors, mediating factors, market, and personality factors. This paper reviews the literature on sponsorship and presents a commentary to inform future research and development of a comprehensive conceptual model for sponsorship effects.

The Role of Self-Management Practices, Competency, and Time Management Practices of the University Undergraduates on Their Success: A Conceptual Model Development

Most of the university undergraduate students are having very good academic results at their secondary school education. However, when they enter to the university, very little amount of students pay more attention compared with their previous studies, very limited number of students continue their studies as previously. Majority of the students pay less attention compared with their Advance level. In addition, the most serious issue is there are some students who does not pay considerable level of attention for their university studies and them very unsuccessful at the university level. Some of they cannot get at least general pass at the desired time. Another important factor is majority of them do not have clear life plan. Hence, the major outcome of this study is to develop a conceptual model to test the importance of having proper self-management practices and time management practices. In addition, this study has identified the importance of identify the methods of how to disseminate the knowledge of self-management and time management practices. And this study suggest for future researchers to conduct research studies on how to disseminate the knowledge and enhancing the selfmanagement competency, initially at the university level and ultimately at the national level.

A conceptual model of subcontractor development practices for LEED projects

PurposeThis paper presents a conceptual model of effective subcontractor development practices to guide general contractors' development of a network of high-performing subcontractors (SCs) for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) projects.Design/methodology/approachDrawing from supplier development theories and practices in the manufacturing sector, a mixed interpretivist and empirical methodology is adopted to examine the body of knowledge within literature for conceptual model development. A self-reporting survey questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale is used to assess 30 construction professionals' perceptions of the effectiveness of 37 SC development practices classified into five categories. Descriptive statistics, weighted means, and t-tests are used for data analysis.FindingsSC prequalification, commitment, incentives, evaluation and feedback practices can be effective in generating high-performing SCs. Practices that require more direct involvement and linkages between GC and SC are perceived to be less effective.Research limitations/implicationsTheoretical contributions include a framework to foster future research to advance knowledge and understanding to enhance the adoption of SC development practices in the construction sector.Practical implicationsImplementation of ranked SC development practices can equip GCs with a network of high-performing SCs for improved competitive advantage and revenues.Originality/valueThe proposed conceptual model expands discussions on the modification of supplier development theories and practices currently utilized in the manufacturing sector toward their application in the construction sector. This research differs from previous research, which primarily focused on the manufacturing sector.

ERP Adoption and Acceptance in Saudi Arabia Higher Education: A Conceptual Model Development

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are integrated information systems inter-connecting different functional areas within organisations. It has been widely implemented by large manufacturers globally to enhance operational excellence. However, ERP in the Higher Education sector is less accepted and research in this area still remains at its infancy. Although many higher education institutions (HEIs) have implemented ERP solutions or are in the course of implementing the ERP systems, the failure rate ERP projects within HE is much higher than in other sectors. Through critically examining the existing literature the aim of this research is to develop an extended technology acceptance model (TAM) taking into account the critical factors of ERP adoption for HEIs. Two categories of these factors have been identified from literature based upon a conceptual model is developed. It was clear from reviewing the literature that the main categories of factors that have been studied extensively and shown to be key to understanding ERP adoption and acceptance are: the individual-related factors such as computer self-efficacy and organisational-related factors such as top management.

Создание концептуальной геологической модели, основанной на литолого-петрографических исследованиях, на примере пермокарбоновой залежи Усинского месторождения

The work intends to develop a conceptual model of the Permo-Carboniferous deposit of the Usinskoye field. In the furtherance of this goal, the authors have addressed the tasks of designing a specialised table format to describe thin sections of carbonate core samples and create a database based on the developed format for the subsequent analysis. The paper deals with studying the Permo-Carboniferous deposit of the Usinskoye field, located in the Komi Republic. A unique database of 1,710 described thin sections from 12 wells was created based on the developed format. The classification of carbonate rocks by R.J. Dunham supplemented by Embry and Kloven (based on the dominating fabric in limestone, type of cementing agent and their relationships in the rock) was used as a basis. According to rock material compositions and textural properties, the following nine rock lithotypes were identified: Mudstone, Wackestone, Packstone, Grainstone, Boundstone, Floatstone, Rudstone, Crystalline Carbonate (Dolomite), and Clayey Carbonate Silicite. By following the rock lithology type identification results and the seismic data, three main facies zones were determined in the section of the mid- Carboniferous and Lower Permian sediments: carbonate shoal (inner ramp zone), organogenic buildup (middle ramp zone) and shallow marine shelf plain (mid-ramp zone, partially outer ramp zone). A moderately deep marine shelf plain facies (outer ramp zone) was provisionally defined. Following the study results, two profiles of the Mid-Carboniferous and Lower Permian sediments of the Usinskoye field were plotted along two well lines. The presented sections support the conceptual model developed. Based on the core sample findings, the zone of organogenic build-ups stands out in the eastern part of the field, dating back predominantly to the Late Carboniferous and Early Permian periods. An inner ramp with the carbonate shoal facies supposedly exists in the field north-west. The conducted work has resulted in the development of a conceptual model of the Permo-Carboniferous deposit of the Usinskoye field, which can be used for further development of more reliable 3D facies models, commercial-scale estimations of reserves and field development designs.

In this way, it introduces a theoretical model that is focused on deep individual and collective transformation and a starting point for future research and refinement.

An innovative approach in combating economic crime using forensic accounting techniques

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to develop an innovative approach of combating economic crime using the forensic accounting techniques.Design/methodology/approachThe approach considered the identification of the effective forensic accounting techniques from the available literature and also explored the anti-economic crime policy, capable of assisting in the combating of economic crime. This brought about the development of two conceptual models, which incorporate all the requirements for the implementation of forensic accounting and the integration of forensic accounting technique into the organizational control system for effective fraud mitigation.FindingsThe analysis of the literature review indicated that one of the drawbacks, which has continue to mitigate the implementation of forensic accounting as a tool for combating fraud is lack of a suitable framework. This was the major focal point of this work, which produced two simplified conceptual models suitable for effective fraud mitigation.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is limited to the development of conceptual models for fraud mitigation only.Practical implicationsThe simplified model can easily be adopted into the structure of an organization to provide a sustainable solution to mitigate fraud occurrences.Originality/valueThe novelty of this study lies in the development of two simplified conceptual models. The first model addressed the incorporation of forensic accounting into the organization structure while the second captured the detailed investigation and comprehensive data analysis processes of uncovering fraud. The development of conceptual models with all these peculiarities for fraud mitigation has not been widely reported by the existing literature.

Territorial (re)branding as a factor in the sustainable development of the city

As of this date, territorial branding is a key tool to increase the attractiveness of the territories of cities, districts, settlements. By dint of branding, the competition between territories for resources – financial, economic, labor, demographic – is intensified. Territorial branding is a marketing strategy to increase the competitiveness of cities, regions, settlements, revealing the potential of the selected territory and, thus, expanding its capabilities and creating a basis for sustainable development of a city.Presently, the main achievement of territorial branding is to stimulate the social activity of citizens. Growing interest from different social and age groups of population to creation of an urban brand contributes to sustainable development of cities. The authors consider territorial (re)branding as a multidimensional design algorithm including architectural and design solutions as a single strategic concept. The indicated approach to the formation of a comprehensive concept is a sequence of proposed procedures performed in a certain order, according to the following requirement: predesign analysis; creation of the conceptual model of development; implementation of design documentation; the formation of a high-quality visual-perceived environment of the urban area.

Recommendations for Advancing Genome to Phenome Research in Non-Model Organisms.

The 2020 SICB Society-wide Symposium "Building Bridges from Genome to Phenome: Molecules, Methods and Models" brought together a diverse group of scientists to discuss recent progress in linking phenotype plasticity to changes at the level of the genome, epigenome, and proteome, while exploring the boundaries between variation and speciation. In a follow-up workshop, participants were asked to assess strengths and weaknesses of current approaches, to identify common barriers inhibiting their progress, and to outline the resources needed to overcome those barriers. Discussion groups generally recognized the absence of any overarching theoretical framework underlying current genome to phenome research and, therefore, called for a new emphasis on the development of conceptual models as well as the interdisciplinary collaborations needed to create and test those models. Participants also recognized a critical need for new and improved molecular and bioinformatic approaches to assist in describing function/phenotypes across phylogeny. Additionally, like all scientific endeavors, progress in genome to phenome research will be enhanced by improvements in science education and communication both within and among working groups.
