The quest for abstinence has made the dissemination of information on contraceptives to be sporadic. This study investigated the relationship between knowledge of contraceptive and attitudes towards premarital sex among senior high school students in Asante Akim North district of Ghana. The study sample comprised 365 students selected from two senior high schools in the district, 11 teenage mothers and six pregnant teenagers. The questionnaire and a semi-structured interview guide were the main tools for data collection. After cleansing the data, 361 responses were used for the quantitative data analyses. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for the quantitative analyses, and thematic analysis used for the qualitative analyses. The study findings revealed that respondents’ knowledge of modern, and natural contraceptives significantly and negatively predicted the variance of attitude toward pre-marital sex (β = -0.15, p < 0.05), and (β = -0.09, p < 0.05) respectively. However, respondents’ knowledge on emergency contraceptive significantly and positively predicted the variance of attitude toward pre-marital sex (β = 0.19, p < 0.05). The study concluded that although a good contraceptive knowledge is needed to promote chastity and also protect adolescents from unwanted pregnancies and other health-related issues, contraceptives must be made available for the youth. The study recommends to heads of the institutions, school counsellors as well as parents to provide adolescents with information on contraceptives to enable them make right decisions whenever they decide to engage in premarital sex.

Scientific Analysis on the Manufacturing Technique of Early Historic Pottery of Bangladesh: Application of Experimental Archaeology

The present study wants to identify the making technique of an early historic pottery type of Bangladesh and for this research potshard samples were collected from archaeological excavated site with documented stratigraphic data. The used method for analysis is known as ‘Polished thin-section’ which is now commonly using for petrographic analysis in modern world. Another important aspect for this archaeological analysis is experiment to reproduction of the same quality object, and present research did successful replication of an early historic pottery of Bangladesh known as ‘Northern Black Polished ware’ or NBPW. Archaeological pottery analysis with modern scientific method is still faces challenges in Bangladesh because lack of proper knowledge and absence of modern equipped laboratory. Prepared Thin-section petrography from collected samples shows that NBPW of Bangladesh has possess thin polished surface of multi-layered coating. The practical experiments were successful by achieving the reproduction of a black colored surface which is almost resembled with original potsherd of Northern Black Polished Ware. This research tells us a story of vigorous cultural aesthetic behavior as well as provides information on scientific sustainable technique of pottery decoration.

전통 천문 지식의 범주와 연구의 방향 — 전통지식과 무형유산으로서의 가치를 중심으로 —

In this study, the concept and scope of traditional astronomical knowledge and the current research status were reviewed, and the collection and research directions of traditional astronomical knowledge were suggested. This can be summarized as follows. First of all, traditional astronomical knowledge refers to traditional knowledge about astronomical phenomena related to the universe, sun, moon, and stars, and specifically, the brightness of stars, constellations, lunar cycles, year cycles, calendars, astrology, concepts about the universe, sky or it refers to knowledge about cosmic myths and rituals. As such astronomical knowledge was presented to the humanities perspective on astronomy, it gradually began to receive attention. In Western academia, as the field of national astronomy emerged, research on astronomical knowledge of each country is actively conducted under international cooperation. In Korea, research on astronomical knowledge is partially carried out mainly in the fields of ancient astronomy, agriculture, folklore, oriental medicine, epidemiology, etc., mainly on the calendar method, the seasons, but it is limited to each area. There is a limit to comprehending the full picture of astronomical knowledge. Traditional astronomy knowledge can be broadly divided into knowledge about the universe, the sun, the moon, and the stars. These knowledge can be divided into knowledge about regeneration, knowledge about shapes, knowledge transmitted as relics, knowledge related to fortune-telling, and knowledge related to rituals. Such astronomical knowledge can be divided into knowledge produced by pre-modern state institutions, knowledge produced by pre-modern intellectuals or the private sector, and knowledge transmitted by modern and modern folklore. Most of the knowledge produced by pre-modern state institutions is shown in the documents compiled by Gwansang-gam, and the knowledge produced by pre-modern intellectuals and the private sector is shown in various historical records, agricultural books, encyclopedic literatures, astrology, and Myongri theory. In addition, knowledge of modern and contemporary folklore is included in oral and field research materials. It is necessary to comprehensively review these data and organize them systematically. In the future, traditional astronomical knowledge should be intensively studied on the relationship between traditional astronomical knowledge and livelihood, the relationship with rituals, and the aspects and methods used for future prediction. As such, traditional astronomical knowledge has important meaning and value both in terms of traditional knowledge and intangible heritage. Therefore, comprehensive collection, arrangement, and full-scale research on it should be carried out.

Communication processes in the sales technology of the Ukraine’s construction market

Currently, a majority of the sales departments of construction organizations in Ukraine pay special attention to the development of communications as one of the key components of successful sales techniques. We can confidently state that communication and its mastery are one of the determining factors of the success and effectiveness of a construction business. The development of the communications policy occupies a significant place in the sales department of any enterprise and impacts the development of relations with potential clients and the entire organization as a whole. The authors researched the main components of the communications processes and their influence on sales techniques. The ability to conduct business negotiations competently and the mastery of the tools of mass communications should get special attention because the success of a commercial deal will rely on that. Therefore, qualities and skills with a clear bias toward the peculiarities of the direct selling techniques necessary for a businessperson got analyzed. The planned sales of the products require designing a pre-communications strategy and establishing the rules that will condition the highest level of sales. A pre-communications strategy and the rules that will condition the highest level of sales for construction organizations in Ukraine got designed and established. A special focus is on the implementation of the direct selling technique to achieve the set goals. From the business communications point of view, the said technique concentrates on personal relations through the psychological interaction between the seller and the buyer. For future relations with clients to become more promising, a sales department manager must also possess a relevant attitude for further communicative relations besides the acquired knowledge about communication and some tried and tested techniques and skills. It is necessary to contribute to increasing the level of personal communications of the sales department experts not just in terms of getting and implementing a set of knowledge of modern sales techniques but also from the prospect of personal development in other fields of knowledge. Properly designed and implemented sales techniques will allow the achievement of the maximum effectiveness of a business.

"Antibiotics Can Work as a Contraceptive:" Contraceptive Knowledge and Use Among University Students in Calabar, Nigeria.

Introduction: Many sexually active youths who wish to delay pregnancy are not using any form of modern contraceptives. In sub-Saharan Africa, less than 1 in 5 sexually active youth do not use contraceptives. In Nigeria, 48.4% of all sexually active unmarried women have an unmet need for contraception. Although the literature is replete with information on structural barriers to modern contraceptives, there is limited scholarship on contextual factors that may inhibit modern contraceptive use among Nigerian youth. This study uses a qualitative research approach to assess knowledge and use of natural, modern, and folkloric contraceptive methods among a sample of university students in Calabar, Nigeria.Methods: This study used data from focus group discussions among women and men in university halls of residence, all of whom were unmarried. Also, three male pharmacists and three female community health workers were interviewed. All focus group discussions and interviews took place in August 2017 and were conducted in Calabar Metropolis, Cross River State, Nigeria. The audio recordings were transcribed into detailed summaries of the interviews and focus group discussions. All data analysis was completed using Atlas.Ti (version 8).Results: University men and women have limited knowledge of and application of natural and modern contraception. Participants listed folkloric methods of contraceptives, including repurposing pharmaceuticals (e.g., antibiotics, quinine, and Andrews Livers Salt-a laxative) as contraceptive agents. Respondents also discussed the use of non-pharmaceuticals such as water, salt solution, and squatting after intercourse as contraceptives. Generally, university students defaulted to withdrawal, calendar method, and emergency contraceptives as preferred methods of contraception. Lastly, condoms were used among participants in causal sexual encounters. In dating relationships, however, both male and female students cited their partners' hesitancy to condom use as such act could indicate distrust.Conclusion: Awareness and use of modern contraceptives are limited among university students in Calabar, Nigeria. The use of folkloric contraceptives could lead to bodily harm and unintended pregnancy. Further research is needed to elucidate factors that promote use of folkloric methods of contraceptives. Integration of contraceptive awareness into health promotion services for young people may help to dispel myths about folkloric methods of contraceptives while promoting awareness and use of safe and effective contraception.

Statement of the problem. Solving the problem of psychological and pedagogical support of parents requires studying the request for psychological assistance from their side. In our opinion, this can be done by studying the social perceptions of modern parents about various aspects of the phenomenon of parenthood. The purpose of the article is to describe the semantic core of modern parents’ ideas about encouragement, punishment, and requirements as components of raising children in the family. Materials and methods. The research methodology is presented by the concept of social representations by S. Moscovici, as well as synthesized research in the field of social representations by Russian and foreign scientists (K.A. Abulkhanova-Slavskaya, G.M. Andreeva, E.Y. Artemyeva, M.I. Volovikova, T.P. Yemelyanova,L.G. Pochebut, J.K. Abrik, P. Verges, D. Jodle). Research results. The analysis of the results shows that the semantic core is the idea that the main task and responsibility of parents is to educate the child, and for this they can use methods of encouragement and punishment, moreover, they have the right to control and punish the child. The main tasks of different methods of education (requirements, prohibitions, punishments, incentives) is maintaining the authority of parents, taking care of the child’s safety, encouraging good behavior, good learning, and obedience of the child. These ideas tend to the traditional Russian understanding of the parent as an educator. Along with this, there is an appearance of ideas about non-mandatory education, the need to develop an educational strategy, and the need to avoid child-centered behavior. Conclusion. The results of the study allow us to make a request for the content of psychological and pedagogical support for parents within the educational system and psychological assistance services. Knowledge of modern parenting’s social concepts of parenting methods allows parents to develop education that is appropriate to their characteristics and needs.

SCIENTIFIC STATUS OF DIDACTICS

The research is aimed at scientific justification of didactics referred to the social and humanitarian field of knowledge. The author deals with the scientific character criteria (verity, inter-subjectivity, systemacity and validity) taking into account different scientific rationality types (classical and nonclassical) and identifying post-modernism influence on didactics. Objectives and results of research. Attempts are made to systematize the didactic knowledge and identify its components and structure. Didactic concepts are classified in accordance with its objects: teaching process by the whole, its individual components or educative process aspects that enable to form definite teaching views, studying it from the specific positions. The author singles out holistic- didactic, component and aspect concepts; and specifies the concept of didactic systems and models with its hierarchy. The author highlights the didactic knowledge increment. Apart from traditional empirical theoretical researches, the author’s attention is drawn to the academic pursuit such as a scientific project based on the didactic object specificity of the teaching process which is fully human controlled and realized and doesn’t exist without human being. It is shown that basic theoretical ideas of scientific projects are itemized, concretized and enlarged during co-current educative practice, i.e. an adhesion of theory and practice occurs. It is stressed that there are two special directions of didactic development multidimensionality: 1. extension of its semantic field in the context of modern socio-cultural conditions; 2. increase of scientific status related to a conceptual framework improvement, empirically accumulated information arrangement, new hypotheses, theories and concepts’ development. Scientific novelty. The research findings demonstrate well-reasoned statement of the didactics’ scientific status, its particular components and structure from a methodology perspective. Practical importance. The research results show that the revision, structuring and arrangement of didactic knowledge can be used for further researches that will fill up the deficit of knowledge of modern educative process organization
