음향자질 비교를 통한 한국어와 우크라이나어 자음 간 대응 양상 연구

The purpose of this study is to compare the acoustic features of Korean and Ukrainian consonants so as to propose a practical transliteration of Korean consonants for Ukrainian learners. To this end, previous studies were examined concerning how Korean and Ukrainian consonants' pronunciations were written. In order to compare the acoustic features of Korean and Ukrainian consonants, the phonetic characteristics of Korean consonants – which are presented in prior research – have been summarized. Next, the Ukrainian utterance data were analyzed in order to measure the acoustic quality of each consonant. Based on the results of this analysis, phonetic transliterations of Korean consonants in Ukrainian were proposed. 'ㄴ, ㅁ, ㄹ' were similar to Ukrainian ‘Н, М, Р/Л’ with acoustic characteristics. 'ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ' correspond to Ukrainian voiced ‘Ґ, Д, Б’, while 'ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ' correspond to Ukrainian voiceless ‘К, Т, П’. However, there were no Ukrainian consonants that correspond to the pronunciation of the Korean aspirated ' ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ' and a tensed fricative 'ㅆ'. The affricative 'ㅈ, ㅉ, ㅊ' corresponded to Ukrainian 'ДЖ, Ц/ДЗ, Ч', respectively.(South Ukrainian National Pedagogical University named after K. D. Ushynsky)

ЕФЕКТИВНІСТЬ ДОБРИВА ПЛАНТАФОЛ У ПОСІВАХ СОЇ ЗА НЕСТАЧІ ЕЛЕМЕНТІВ ЖИВЛЕННЯ В ЧОРНОЗЕМІ ТИПОВОМУ

The agrochemical composition of chernozems typical of the agrobiological laboratory of Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk National Pedagogical University has been studied and the economic expediency of using complex mineral fertilizer Plantafol 10.54.10 during cultivation of soybeans, to eliminate the shortage of some elements of mineral nutrition and increase crop productivity was analyzed. 
 It was found that chernozems is characterized by a close to neutral exchange (pH 5.6) and hydrolytic (2.16 mg-eq. / 100 g) reaction, an increased amount of absorbed bases (19.0 mg-eq. / 100 g) and increased rate of saturation of bases (89.8 %), which is typical of agricultural lands with high carbonate content. Сhernozem soil has a low amount of easily hydrolyzed Nitrogen (102.0 mg / kg), an average supply of humus (2.63 %) and mobile Phosphorus (71.0 mg / kg) and a very high level of metabolic Potassium (189.0 mg / kg).
 Based on the specified agrochemical composition of the soil, taking into account the peculiarities of mineral nutrition of soybean plants, the importance for the formation of generative organs of Phosphorus and its ability to highly effective symbiotic nitrogen fixation in the study area, it is suggested to eliminate possible shortages of soil nutrients, in the first of Phosphorus, foliar fertilization with Plantafol 10.54.10.

English Trainee Teachers’ Perspective on Soft Skills Development in Ukraine

The integration of soft skills in training pre-service teachers ensures higher academic performance and provides them with better career opportunities. However, many university teachers pay insufficient attention to developing soft skills in higher education. The article aims to investigate the correlation between the soft skills included in professional teacher training and undergraduates’ viewpoint on soft skills development at university. The authors formulated three research questions: (a) How do English trainee teachers assess their soft skills? (b) How much attention, in students’ opinion, do teachers pay to developing soft skills? (c) Is there a gap between teachers’ work on developing students’ soft skills and trainee teachers’ expectations? To answer these questions, the researchers analized the empirical data received through a questionnaire. The questionnaire was completed by 153 English trainee teachers studying at H.S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University, Ukraine. The respondents answered two close-ended questions regarding the level of soft skills they believe to possess and the amount of time devoted to soft skills development. The findings suggest that most students consider the level of their soft skills intermediate or high. Nevertheless, a significant number of the respondents still feel that teachers pay insufficient or hardly any attention to improving these skills. It is necessary to conduct further research to analyze university teachers’ viewpoint on improving students’ soft skills and organize the development of soft skills which would meet trainee teachers’ expectations.

The concept of an automatic system for preliminary entry of hazardous facility into emergency mode with an approaching earthquake

The article discusses the concept of introducing an automatic system for preliminary input of hazardous facilities into emergency mode in the event of an approaching earthquake, developed at the South Ukrainian National Pedagogical University named after K. D. Ushinsky. Theoretical prerequisites for the study of heterogeneities, using a passive method based on the location of secondary waves reflected from the inhomogeneities under the basements and foundations of buildings of already operated building structures, were taken as the basis of the proposed system. Due to the finite speed of propagation of seismic waves and having a sensor in the focus of an earthquake, it is possible for distant objects to learn about an impending disaster in a few tens of seconds. The effective use of the time window from the focus of the earthquake to hazardous facilities requires the development of: measuring equipment, data transmission systems, automatic event recognition, elements for automating the process of putting hazardous objects into emergency mode- all this is the goal and objectives of this article.
