Театрально-ігрова діяльність як засіб розвитку культури мовлення дітей старшого дошкільного віку

The general characteristics of theater and game activities in preschool education institutions as a means of developing the speech culture of senior preschool children are presented. The interdependence of the development of communication skills with the successful socialization of a child and his/her education at school, the importance of speech in the formation of child’s higher mental functions is substantiated. It is emphasized that speech culture is an indispensable element of general human culture; theatrical and game activities make it possible to develop the abilities of each child, to form creative imagination, communication skills; the main tasks of speech development are defined as: education of the sound culture of speech, enrichment and activation of the vocabulary of preschool children, formation of the grammatical structure of speech, formation of coherent speech skills. The essence of the concepts of «speech culture» and «theatrical and game activity» is defined. The classification of theatrical games depending on their type and specific plot and role content is presented: director’s games and dramatization games; it is noted that theatrical activity is a specific type of children’s activity, one of the most favorite types of creativity. The types of theatrical activity of senior preschoolers are presented, which are classified according to the method of organization (individual or collective games), content of theatrical activity (games based on the plots of literary works, dramatization games, staging), types of game material (puppet theater, toy theater, finger theater, etc.). It is indicated that children of senior preschool age already have a certain amount of game skills: to build a plot plan, distribute and assign roles, independently prepare attributes and scenery, use methods of collective communication. Senior preschoolers can also change the beginning and end of familiar plots, invent the course of events which the character gets into, introduce new characters into the storyline. Keywords: speech development, speech culture, senior preschool children, preschool education institution, theater and game activity.

MODIFIED METHOD OF DIFFERENTIAL EVOLUTION TO OPTIMIZE FACILITIES LAYOUTS ON MASTER PLOT PLANS OF OIL AND GAS PROCESSING AND CHEMICAL ENTERPRISES

The paper proposes a modification of the differential evolution method with regard to the synthesis of optimal layouts on the allotted territory for production facilities of oil and gas processing and chemical enterprises. The concept of a two-element (bipartite) gene is introduced as a special case of a p-element (p-partite) gene, which is a tuple of facility attributes, which are in this case the coordinates to locate the center of geometric image of its foundation. The method modification is intended to design facilities layouts at the initial stage of developing master plot plans for enterprises in conditions of incomplete information on the length of pipelines and costs of their implementation. The objective function is represented as a linear combination of the quality criterion for object layouts and a penalty function that expresses the requirements for the minimum allowable regulated distances in light between facilities. The criterion for evaluating the quality of layouts is the sum of the cost levels for the creation and operation of communication routes between facilities. Cost levels are calculated as the product of specific cost levels by the Euclidean distance between the centers of the geometric images of the facilities bases.

Education 4.0: Integrating Codes, Standards, and Regulations in the Chemical Engineering Curriculum

Education 4.0 is the framework to facilitate the development of skills and competencies of engineering students required for Industry 4.0 through the integration of Industry 4.0 applied concepts, networked approach, digitalization of higher education institutions (HEI), and online advancement of teaching and learning practices. In the chemical engineering curriculum of several HEIs, considerable progress in implementing this framework has been made by including computer-aided design tools, updating manufacturing technologies, using simulation and analysis of virtual models, and implementing data analytics in engineering courses and programs. Process and plant design courses such as Plant Design demand that undergraduate students leverage knowledge from core courses completed during first three years of their degree program by developing a plant's conceptual design. This course clearly sets a pathway to integrate Education 4.0 to Industry 4.0. All stakeholders of this course (students, teaching team, and clients) can progressively identify challenges and opportunities to optimize this integration. Many suggested improvements might require a vertical integration of new concepts in the chemical engineering curriculum, involving courses of different levels throughout the undergraduate curriculum. Nevertheless, we consider that immediate actions shall be taken by teaching teams and industry partners in courses such as Plant Design for students achieving the required competencies and skills before graduating from universities. For instance, running a successful multi-disciplinary engineering team for plant design in the industry will require undergraduate students to become familiar with codes, standards, and regulations. According to our industry partners, this lack of familiarization significantly affects the learning curve of junior engineers at work and shows a disconnection between what is learned at university and what is required in the workplace. To facilitate the transition of our students into the process design industry in the framework of Education 4.0-Industry 4.0, in this work, we describe and present the results of applying a strategy to tackle this challenge by (i) identifying the currently applicable codes, standards, and regulations in the process engineering industry for each technical deliverable (process flow diagram, piping and instrumentation diagram, line list, plot plan, design of equipment, risk management, and safety documents) of the course; (ii) designing and delivering workshops to describe and illustrate their applicability; and (iii) creating a written set of guidelines applicable to the course and the workplace.

Thermal modeling for supporting firefighting and emergency response planning

AbstractThis literature review looks at the various types of approaches to industrial storage tank fires and evaluates how quantitative consequence analysis with thermal modeling may aid in the development of industrial site fire preplans and emergency response planning guidelines. Emergency response planners may employ the use of thermal contours on plot plans generated by available consequence modeling software. Such performance‐based approaches can effectively take into account the associated sociotechnical factors and site‐specific hazards. With these approaches, the planners can identify appropriate preventative actions and responses, such as the activation of cooling on adjacent equipment, as well as establishing safe approach/muster point distances from hazardous sources of thermal heat stress.

Influence of nitrogen-potassium fertilizers on plantain banana fruits physicochemical characteristics during ripening

This study was undertaken to measure the impact of fertilizers (nitrogen-potassium) on plantain fruits during ripening. Based on nitrogen and potassium content, different doses of fertilizers (T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6) were applied to two hybrid varieties (PITA 3 and FHIA 21) and a traditional variety (CORNE 1) on an experimental split plot plan with a planting density of 2500 plants per hectare. Results showed that total soluble solids (from 0.1° to 1.9 – hybrids and 2.14 – CORNE 1) and moisture content (PITA 3: 67.64 ± 0.06% – 74.63 ± 1.02%; FHIA 21: 67.81 ± 0.89% – 72.19 ± 2.10% and CORNE 1: 61.71 ± 0.23% - 67.78 ± 1.11%) increased significantly during ripening, while firmness (33.93 ± 1.00 N – 1.78 ± 0.76 N), pH (22.90 ± 1.01% - 24.18 ± 2.00%) and hue angle values for peel (27.03% - 31.02%) and pulp (0.05% - 3.66%) decreased considerably. Fruit grown without fertilizer T1 had the lowest moisture (PITA 3: 65.07 ± 1.09% - 68.08 ± 2.00%; FHIA 21: 65.35 ± 3.09% - 69.95 ± 0.09% and CORNE 1: 59.00 ± 1.23% - 65.15 ± 0.67%) content and firmness reducing (72.83 ± 0.24% PITA 3 and 79.49 ± 1.87% CORNE 1). In contrast, PITA 3 (92.14 ± 2.01%) and CORNE 1 (86.84 ± 1.03%) fruits from T4 treatment with high nitrogen content (360 kg/ha) had the highest firmness drop at yellow stage of ripening. Firmness of hybrid PITA 3 and FHIA 21 yellow fruits were twice (3.22 ± 0.03 N; 3.08 ± 0.12 N) smaller than CORNE 1 fruits (7.74 ± 1.02 N). The CORNE 1 fruits were the least humid and the firmer.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES OF COMPLEX ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING BASED ON AEROSPACE AND GROUND RESEARCH DATA

The article considers the possibilities of using geoinformation systems and remote land sensing systems in detecting the development of degradation processes of the soil cover. The use of satellite technologies for the detection of soil degradation and timely response to these processes requires timely information and the availability of a database. The environmental safety system is aimed at forecasting and preventing emergency situations of technogenic and ecological nature. It includes the development of forecasting models and algorithms, as well as the allocation of resources to take immediate action in the event of such situations, as well as information about potential hazards, risks and possible consequences. With the use of geodetic surveying and computer processing of the surveying results, the coordinates of land plot plans were obtained. Satellite images were used to obtain data on changes in soil cover over a large area and on a large scale. Aerial photographs reveal small changes in soil structure, indicating signs of erosion or other degradation processes. Digital electronic terrain maps provide geographic information about an area, including geological and geomorphological features. They are used to combine other data, such as satellite images or aerial photographs, and create a comprehensive picture of the state of the soil. In the course of research, the system of ecological monitoring of soil cover using the method of infrared spectrophotometry was improved. The method of physico-chemical analysis of soil samples is substantiated and the dependence between the state of soil contamination by individual chemical elements and their genesis is established. The creation of a computer database and the use of space images in combination with other geo-information technologies really allows for effective monitoring and analysis of soil degradation and other agricultural objects.

THE MOTIF OF LIGHT IN THE POEM “ANIARA” BY H. MARTINSON

On the material of the poem “Aniara” by the Swedish writer, Nobel laureate H. Martinson, the problem of the motif of light and its connection with the plot, figurative, space-time and ideological plans of the work is developed. The poem is characterized by extraordinary unity created due to the interweaving of two motifs - light and darkness, each of which is semantic and participates in the “framing” of the text both at the plot level and the semantic one. The motif of light is the most important component of the poem which reveals the main theme and the problem of the work, conveys the writer`s worldview and participates in the figurative expression of the author`s intention. The motif is associated with the problems of human existence and understanding of the moral meaning of life. The article reveals that light has both a positive and a negative semantic: on the one hand, it symbolizes utopian hopes for the future and idyllic ideas about the past (light as a symbol of the search for the ideal), on the other hand, human evil (light as a symbol of the destructive force of fire). This motif plays a key role in creating a holistic “light” space - the planet Dorisburg and a generalized image of a person turned out to be unable to preserve “the temple of light and kindness”.

ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE A. BLOK’S POETRY IN THE SYMPHONIC SCORE OF B. TISHCHENKO'S BALLET THE TWELVE

The article examines the relationship between music and poetry in the ballet The Twelve by the outstanding Russian symphonist of the second half of the XX century Boris Ivanovich Tishchenko (1939–2010). The performance by the famous choreographer L. Yakobson, staged at the Kirov Theater in Leningrad in 1964, became one of the first avant-garde ballets in the Soviet Union.
 The study focuses on the different approaches of the composer and choreographer to the stage performance of A. Blok's poetry, which led to serious creative disagreements and even conflicts during the preparation of the premiere. Tishchenko in his reading relied on Blok's verse, its rhythm, size and complex, sometimes unexpected semantics. The speech beginning in The Twelve is quite tangible, the composer often follows Blok's lines literally. They now and then emerge in the flow of music, controlling it not only in the figurative-semantic and plot plans, but also in the rhythmic-intonation.
 The article concludes that Tishchenko's work has led to an impressive artistic result: the ballet score is written in a fresh, original and modern language. Tishchenko's music became the basis of the first avant-garde Soviet ballet performance and, in this context, firmly entered the history of Russian art

Influence of Nitrogen-Potassium Fertilizers on the Growth and the Productivity Parameters of Plantain Banana PITA 3, FHIA 21 and CORNE 1

This study was undertaken to measure the impact of fertilizers (nitrogen-potassium) on the growth and the development of plantain banana. Different doses of fertilizers (T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6) were applied to two hybrid varieties (PITA 3 and FHIA 21) and a traditional variety (CORNE 1) on an experimental split plot plan with a planting density of 2500 plants per hectare. Results showed that fertilizers improve parameters of plantain than control (T1). T6 with high potassium content (240 kg·ha−1 N and 987 kg·ha−1 K) improved the growth (35.72 ± 0.95 cm·month−1) and the widening (9.56 ± 0.17 cm·month−1) of PITA 3, and performed FHIA 21 agronomic parameters by reducing the length of the production cycle and increased the length of fruits. T2 treatment improved FHIA 21 agronomic and yield parameters. Also, the weight of CORNE 1 regimens (9.00 ± 0.67 kg) and fruits (296.59 ± 4.50 g), the length (33.37 ± 0.31 cm) and the circumference (14.73 ± 0.31 cm) increased with T2. T4 induced shorter production cycle of PITA 3 (390.40 ± 0.67 cm·month−1), improved PITA3 regimens weight (10.33 ± 0.44 kg) and the number of hands by regimen (6.00 ± 0.00) of FHIA 21. T3 with weak nitrogen content (120 kg·ha−1 N and 658 kg·ha−1 K) improved the characteristics of PITA 3 fruits notably, the weight (176.09 ± 2.96 g) and the circumference (13.87 ± 0.89 cm). T5 (240 kg·ha−1 N and 329 kg·ha−1 K) performed CORNE 1 trees number of sheets (3.85 ± 0.16). CORNE 1 cycle production with T6 treatment was 137.80 days longer than those of T2 treatment (483 ± 3.50 days). In conclusion, with T2 and T6, growth parameters were globally improved in FHIA 21 by the regimen largest and the higher number of fingers, and productivity parameters were improved in CORNE 1 by the heaviest, the longest and the thickest of the fruits.

Plan-and-Write: Towards Better Automatic Storytelling

Automatic storytelling is challenging since it requires generating long, coherent natural language to describes a sensible sequence of events. Despite considerable efforts on automatic story generation in the past, prior work either is restricted in plot planning, or can only generate stories in a narrow domain. In this paper, we explore open-domain story generation that writes stories given a title (topic) as input. We propose a plan-and-write hierarchical generation framework that first plans a storyline, and then generates a story based on the storyline. We compare two planning strategies. The dynamic schema interweaves story planning and its surface realization in text, while the static schema plans out the entire storyline before generating stories. Experiments show that with explicit storyline planning, the generated stories are more diverse, coherent, and on topic than those generated without creating a full plan, according to both automatic and human evaluations.

Russian Literary Classics (“The Power of the Earth” by G. I. Uspensky and “Bezhin Meadow” by I. S. Turgenev) in the Context of the Social Themes of Soviet Cinema of the 1930s

The article discusses the influence of the poetics of Russian literary classics of the 19th century on Soviet cinema of the 1930s, the collectivization of which was an acute social theme. It is emphasized that the visualization of the “dilapidated” village, against which the conflict unfolded in the films of A. P. Dovzhenko, “Earth” (1930) and “Bezhin Meadow” by S. M. Eisenstein (1935-1937), required aesthetically convincing artistic images that Soviet filmmakers found in the works of Uspensky and Turgenev. It is proved that the universal meanings of the classic literary work provided a high degree of artistic generalization, without which it would be impossible to create a socialist myth of a bright future. It is alleged that allusions to the “power of the earth” formulated by the Assumption mythology have expanded the image in the film “Earth”, where the struggle with the fists appeared as one of the episodes in the universal plot about the principle of being. The function of quotes from Turgenev’s Bezhina Meadows is commented on: they translated the collision of the collective farm drama in the film of Rzheshevsky-Eisenstein into the category of mysteries about the resurrection. The authors of the article come to the conclusion that contact with cinema revealed a common feature of Russian classics - the presence of a mystery plot plan that ensures the integrity of Russian culture with a sharp ideological opposition of its creators.

Monitoring User-Based Accessibility Assessment in Urban Environments and in Public Buildings

The research features analysis of user-experience-based accessibility assessment and progress monitoring of buildings and public spaces; this analysis is used as a tool for facilitating the development of humane, socially sustainable and an inclusive urban environment. A group of users representing people with different kinds of disabilities, the elderly and families with children was created to assess the quality of access to various buildings with different functions and locations across Vilnius and in Singapore. A school, two hospitals, a rehab centre and two offices were selected for access monitoring in Vilnius City, while a hotel, a cafe and two metro stations with public squares were chosen for access assessment in Singapore. As the same method was principally applied to assess accessibility of selected buildings in Vilnius City in 2000 and 2017 and in Singapore in 2012, the article draws a comparative analysis of access levels in these two cities located in different global regions. The results show a definite improvement of access quality over time and also identify the critical aspects in this process. The segment of plot planning represents the lowest quality of access for all assessed building types as compared to the building segment and the external–internal element segments. The paper also draws conclusions that access improvement is a continuous process of implementing advanced urban policy instruments, and city planners can contribute to it by constantly analysing and presenting to public the monitoring data about the progress in access improvement. Comparing the assessment results between Vilnius City and Singapore – cities that are located in different global regions and in different socio-economic environments – provides a practical tool for benchmarking and setting the priorities for this process.

A wild bootstrap approach for nonparametric repeated measurements

Repeated measures and split plot plans are often the preferred design of choice when planning experiments in life and social sciences. They are typically analyzed by mean-based methods from MANOVA or linear mixed models, requiring certain assumptions on the underlying parametric distribution. However, if count, ordinal or score data are present, these techniques show their limits since means are no adequate measure of deviations between groups. Here, nonparametric rank-based methods are preferred for making statistical inference. The common nonparametric procedures such as the Wald- or ANOVA-type tests, however, have drawbacks since they usually require large sample sizes for accurate test decisions. The aim is to enhance the small sample properties of these test statistics by means of a specific nonparametric bootstrap procedure while preserving their general applicability for all kinds of data in factorial repeated measures and split plot designs. In particular, it is shown that a specific wild bootstrap procedure inherits the large sample properties of the Wald- and ANOVA-type statistics while considerably improving their small sample behavior. The new method is motivated by and applied to a practical data example in a repeated measures design with score data.

Selection of failure frequency and its impact on risk assessment – A case study from plot plan optimisation

Facility Siting is an important phase of project development. A critical stage is plot plan optimisation, where significant potential hazards are eliminated due to equipment spacing. In addition to ensuring appropriate compliance with minimum spacing requirements, occupied building studies to achieve compliance with the requirements of API 752 and API 753 could also be undertaken to optimise safety outcomes. The studies are done in three stages, where the first stage is hazard identification, second stage is consequence assessment and the third stage is risk assessment. Third stage assessments are only carried, if the consequence based siting recommendations are not practical to implement.This paper presents the challenges in estimating risk due to process hazards with a focus on selecting right event likelihood data. A comparison is presented on the variation in predicted risk levels based on equipment failure rates and leak frequencies.Case study of a plot plan optimisation study is undertaken with DNVGL Phast Risk and the variation in risk levels up to two orders of magnitude are recorded. Challenges such as adaption of data for local conditions, consistent definitions of failure, sample size of data, applicability of data play a significant role in identifying and correctly quantifying the risk levels. Such challenges and its impact on risk quantification are presented in this paper as well as its impact on facility siting.

Industrial Project Execution Planning: Modularization versus Stick-Built

Abstract High levels of modularization have yet to be generally achieved by the construction industry. To suggest how such levels might be achieved, this study identified needed changes or adaptations in conventional project work processes. It did so by identifying and analyzing differences in how modular projects should be planned and executed. Nineteen research team members and two academic researchers identified, classified, and grouped 107 differences in how modular projects should be planned and executed. Later, three modularization case studies were conducted, and the findings were subsequently validated by an external validation committee. At the topic level, nearly 37% of the planning differences pertained to one of four topics: planning and cost estimating; modularization scoping, layout process, and plot plan; basic design standards, models, and deliverables; or detailed design deliverables. The industry may need to pay attention to these four topics to achieve higher levels of modularization. T...

Worst-case identification of gas dispersion for gas detector mapping using dispersion modeling

To quickly and accurately quantify the material release in process units, gas detectors may be placed according to the results of gas dispersion modeling. DNV's PHAST software is one of the most useful and reliable tools for material dispersion modeling. In this software, fluid dispersion is modeled based on the process conditions, the weather conditions and the specifications of the material release point. However, varying weather conditions throughout the year and the exact determination of the release point on the plot plan and the release elevation are problematic; these issues cause the results to be non-exact and non-integrated. Choosing the most appropriate conditions is challenging. In this paper, a scheme was provided to select the most appropriate conditions for gas dispersion modeling. This scheme approaches modeling based on the worst-case scenario (the situation in which the dispersed gas reaches the detector later in comparison to the other cases). Therefore, different weather conditions, release elevations and release points on the plot plan were modeled for an absorber tower of the Gonbadli Dehydration Unit of the Khangiran Refinery. The worst case of each release condition was then chosen. Finally, gas detectors were placed using the gas dispersion modeling results based on the worst-case scenario.

A Study on the Site Plot Plan and Building Schematics of a Fusion DEMO Plant

To expedite realization of magnetic fusion energy with the tokamak concept, a parallel process of developing engineering technologies required to design, fabricate, construct, start up, and operate the fusion DEMO plant of Korea (K-DEMO Plant) at the same time with researching fusion science and technologies in KSTAR (Korean Superconductor Tokamak Advanced Research) and ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) was adopted in the fusion DEMO program of Korea (K-DEMO Program). As a part of these engineering studies, an exploratory study on the layout and building schematics of K-DEMO Plant have carried out in consideration of economic and safety aspects. The buildings of K-DEMO Plant are named and their volumes are estimated with an order of magnitude analysis based on the sizes of the buildings of ITER and nuclear power plants. This exploratory study on the layout and building schematics is also required to estimate the costs of K-DEMO Program and analyze its economic feasibility.

Computer aided estimation of fugitive emission rates and occupational air concentration in process design

European Union directives such as the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) require inclusion of safety, environmental and health analyses in process design as part of strategies towards achieving sustainable process development. In petrochemical and organic chemical industries, which mostly handle volatile compounds, the most significant contributor to atmospheric releases is fugitive emissions that are mainly contributed by piping fittings and components. Fugitive emissions are not only of economic and environmental concern, but also a major source of background inhalative exposure to workers that may lead to various diseases including cancer. More people die every year from occupational diseases as compared to the number killed in industrial accidents. Therefore the estimation of occupational air concentration due to fugitive emission needs to be done early when developing a new process. Several methods for fugitive emissions estimation have been introduced which mostly involve manual calculations. Computer-based tools for such purpose however, are still lacking. Besides, the current methods mainly focus on the emission rates only but not on the process air concentrations. Computer aided methods for fugitive emissions assessment are highly in need, since now most of the design work is done by using computer aided process engineering (CAPE) tools. Therefore in this paper computer aided methods for quantifying fugitive emission rates and occupational air concentration are presented. Three methods are proposed for early design stages based on data available from simple process flow diagrams (PFDs), detailed PFDs or piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs). The method becomes more comprehensive as it progresses from simple PFDs to P&IDs, since more process data are available later, which include plot plan, coordinates of the emission sources and local wind speed. Users however, can choose which method to use depending on the process information available in hand. The methods are demonstrated in a case study of product distillation system of toluene hydrodealkylation.

Three-Dimensional Tsunami Analysis for the Plot Plan of a Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor Plant

As the practical evaluation method of the effect of tsunami on buildings, the formula of tsunami force has been used. However, it cannot be applied to complex geometry of buildings. In this study, to analyze the effect of tsunami on the buildings of sodium-cooled fast reactor plant more accurately, three-dimensional tsunami analysis was performed. In the analysis, VOF (Volume of Fluid) method was used to capture free surface of tsunami. At the beginning, it was confirmed that the tsunami experiment results was reproduced by VOF method accurately. Next, the three-dimensional tsunami analysis was performed with VOF method to evaluate the flow field around the buildings of the plant from the beginning of the tsunami until the backwash of that.
