Assimilation Process Research Articles

Reimagining Democracy

In this brief Conversations essay, I trace how immigrant suffrage in the United States deteriorated in the 19th century and argue that the US should move toward creating a pathway for noncitizen voting for two reasons—a more representative democracy and for a smoother assimilation process into American culture. Noncitizens contribute economically and socially to their communities, and they often have the same investment in their community’s welfare as citizens. Expanding voting rights to noncitizens, even if only at the local-level, would give them a voice in decisions that affect their everyday lives.

Molecular Regulation of Photosynthetic Carbon Assimilation in Oat Leaves Under Drought Stress

Common oat (Avena sativa L.) is one of the important minor grain crops in China, and drought stress severely affects its yield and quality. To investigate the drought resistance characteristics of oat seedlings, this study used Baiyan 2, an oat cultivar at the three-leaf stage, as the experimental material. Drought stress was simulated using polyethylene glycol (PEG) to treat the seedlings. The photosynthetic parameters and physicochemical indices of the treatment groups at 6 h and 12 h were measured and compared with the control group at 0 h. The results showed that drought stress did not significantly change chlorophyll content, but it significantly reduced net photosynthetic rate and other photosynthetic parameters while significantly increasing proline content. Transcriptome analysis was conducted using seedlings from both the control and treatment groups, comparing the two treatment groups with the control group using Tbtool software (v2.136). This analysis identified 344 differentially expressed genes. Enrichment analysis of these differentially expressed genes revealed significant enrichment in physiological pathways such as photosynthesis and ion transport. Ten differentially expressed genes related to the physiological process of photosynthetic carbon assimilation were identified, all of which were downregulated. Additionally, seven differentially expressed genes were related to ion transport. Through gene co-expression analysis combined with promoter region structure analysis, 11 transcription factors (from MYB, AP2/ERF, C2C2-dof) were found to regulate the expression of 10 genes related to photosynthetic carbon assimilation. Additionally, five transcription factors regulate the expression of two malate transporter protein-related genes (from LOB, zf-HD, C2C2-Dof, etc.), five transcription factors regulate the expression of two metal ion transporter protein-related genes (from MYB, zf-HD, C2C2-Dof), five transcription factors regulate the expression of two chloride channel protein-related genes (from MYB, bZIP, AP2/ERF), and two transcription factors regulate the expression of one Annexin-related gene (from NAC, MYB). This study provides a theoretical foundation for further research on the molecular regulation of guard cells and offers a molecular basis for enhancing drought resistance in oats.

Carbon translocation within land snails affects the carbon isotopic fractionation

Stable carbon isotope composition (δ13C) of land snail materials is widely used as a proxy for reconstructing past vegetation and environmental changes. Interpretation δ13C data is challenging due to the complexities of snail physiology. This study cultured Lissachatina fulica (Bowdich, 1822) snails to investigate δ13C of their soft tissues and excrement under various plant types and dietary carbonate content. Our results show that snails primarily assimilate organic matter (OM), with limited use of dietary carbonates. δ13C of organic matter in excrement correlates positively with that in the diet, but exhibits deviations due to variable carbon isotopic fractionation during assimilation. Tissue δ13C (δ13Ctissue) is positively related to the δ13C of OM (δ13COM) in the diet, varying by turnover rates, with faster turnover rate, such as the digestive gland, exhibiting more negative δ13Ctissue values. Moreover, carbon isotopic fractionation between tissues and diet (Δ13Ctissue-OM) differs based on plant type. Snails fed with C3 plants show positive Δ13Ctissue-OM values, whereas those fed with C4 plants exhibit negative values. These Δ13Ctissue-OM values are far from equilibrium (Δ13Ctissue-OM = 0) with conditions of rapid snail growth. Our findings indicate that the snails fed with C3 and C4 plants result in distinct carbon isotopic fractionation, leading to the deviation in δ13C between plants and land snail materials (e.g., excrement, tissues, shells and shell-bound organic matter). A comprehensive model of carbon metabolism and isotopic fractionation in snails is proposed including the assimilation process from diet to soft tissues and excretion. This study highlights the importance of physiological factors such as growth rates and turnover rates when interpreting δ13C of land snail materials for paleoenvironmental reconstructions.

Tensão entre monoteísmo e politeísmo na Bíblia Hebraica e no Antigo Israel

The article analyzes the tension between monotheism and polytheism in the Hebrew Bible (HB) and the religion of ancient Israel, proposing that the development of monotheism was a gradual and multifaceted process. The study examines biblical passages and archaeological evidence suggesting the coexistence of polytheistic beliefs alongside the predominant worship of Yahweh. The author discusses the use of terms such as henotheism and monolatry to describe the religious phenomenon in ancient Israel, arguing that monotheism only fully consolidated during the exilic period. The applied methodology includes the distinction between “emic” and “etic” approaches, allowing for a contextualized analysis of religious practices without imposing modern concepts. Additionally, the article explores the influence of other deities, such as El, Asherah, and Baal, on Israelite religiosity, suggesting that the transition to monotheism involved a process of assimilation, exclusion, and transformation of religious practices. The conclusion is that Israelite monotheism did not emerge abruptly, but as the result of a long theological and political reflection, with both external and internal influences shaping religious thought over time.

The role of marine bacteria in modulating the environmental impact of heavy metals, microplastics, and pesticides: a comprehensive review.

Bacteria assume a pivotal role in mitigating environmental issues associated with heavy metals, microplastics, and pesticides. Within the domain of heavy metals, bacteria exhibit a wide range of processes for bioremediation, encompassing biosorption, bioaccumulation, and biotransformation. Toxigenic metal ions can be effectively sequestered, transformed, and immobilized, hence reducing their adverse environmental effects. Furthermore, bacteria are increasingly recognized as significant contributors to the process of biodegradation of microplastics, which are becoming increasingly prevalent as contaminants in marine environments. These microbial communities play a crucial role in the colonization, depolymerization, and assimilation processes of microplastic polymers, hence contributing to their eventual mineralization. In the realm of pesticides, bacteria play a significant role in the advancement of environmentally sustainable biopesticides and the biodegradation of synthetic pesticides, thereby mitigating their environmentally persistent nature and associated detrimental effects. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the intricate dynamics between bacteria and anthropogenic contaminants is of paramount importance in the pursuit of technologically advanced and environmentally sustainable management approaches.

Shrimp aquaculture, absorption capacity and competitiveness: an analysis based on the case of Ahome, Mexico

R Objective: to present empirical evidence of the effect that the Knowledge Absorption Capacity (AC) and its dimensions have on the competitiveness of shrimp farming companies. Design/ Methodology/ Approach: a multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine the degree of influence of the independent variables (AC dimensions) on the dependent variable (competitiveness). Results: There was a positive effect between AC dimensions and competitive performance. The capacity for transformation of knowledge was the strongest effect. Study limitations/ Implications: due to time and resource constraints, this study was based on a survey limited to a small number of businesses in the municipality of Ahome (Sinaloa), Mexico. Therefore, these results could be specific to the activity evaluated and to that region. Findings/ Conclusions: studies such as this represent a turning point in exposing the importance of conceiving AC as a complex and multidimensional construct that contemplates the processes of acquisition, assimilation, transformation and exploitation of knowledge.

A Study of Russian-Belarusian Border Dialects: The Use of the Genitive Case Ending -u in the Khislavichi Dialect

Summary This article explores the features of noun declension in the Khislavichi dialect, focusing on the use of the genitive case ending -u. The study is based on data from the Khislavichi Corpus, which consists of texts recorded from native speakers in the western part of the Khislavichi district of the Smolensk Region during field trips in 2018–2019. The linguistic situation in this area is characterized by the Russification of genetically Belarusian dialects. The analysis examines the preservation of dialect features, the historical and contemporary usage of the genitive case in Russian and Belarusian, and the specificities of the genitive ending -u in the Khislavichi dialect. The findings indicate that the Khislavichi dialect employs the -u ending in the genitive case for a larger number of lexemes compared to standard Russian. This raises the question of whether these "extra" -u forms can be linked to the previous Belarusian system. The study explores the variability found in the usage of both the -u and -a endings, suggesting that their selection may be contingent upon the intended meaning and the age of the speaker. Additionally, the article contributes to the development of a broader theoretical problem: the transition from one idiom to another, and ultimately the theory of language change. This research adds to our understanding of dialectal variation and the mechanisms of language change, particularly in regions experiencing language contact and assimilation processes.

Assimilation of Surface Geostrophic Currents in the East Sea Using the Ensemble Kalman Filter

The conventional ocean data assimilation process typically involves assimilating hydrographic data, such as temperature and salinity measurements, obtained from both satellites and in-situ observations. This study introduces a novel approach to enhance ocean circulation modeling by assimilating surface geostrophic currents derived from satellite altimetry data using the ensemble Kalman filter. To match the time scales for the variability in the observed surface geostrophic currents and the model currents, the current velocities from the model were low-pass filtered. The optimal cut-off period for the low-pass filter was determined to be 31 days in the East Sea. Eight sensitivity experiments were then conducted to examine the effects of observation error and low-pass filtering during the assimilation of surface geostrophic current data. Assimilation experiments with surface geostrophic current data improved surface currents but had minor negative impacts on the temperature and salinity when compared with assimilation experiments without surface geostrophic current data. Notably, the experiment with an observation error of 10 cm/s for the geostrophic current outperformed the other experiments. Surface geostrophic current assimilation improved the sea surface temperature during winter and effectively modified surface current patterns during autumn in the East Sea. Assimilating satellite-derived surface geostrophic currents in the ocean circulation model thus enhanced the accuracy of surface circulation simulation. This improvement in ocean analysis data offers significant benefits for understanding ocean climate change and for developing marine management strategies.

Perception of the Urban Space of the Waorani Nationality in Shell Township, Pastaza, Ecuador

The township of Shell in the Province of Pastaza, Ecuador was initially an exploration base and later, a missionary base for evangelization of the peoples and nationalities of the Amazon. It plays an important role in the Waorani nationality and its social, cultural and economic dynamics, especially in the Nuevo Amanecer neighborhood, which is home to approximately 43 Waorani families whose epicenter has become a strategic space for their territorial dynamics. The research, through ethnographic methodologies and field work, has allowed to establish the perception from the Waorani nationality to the urban space. During the development of this study two sources of information were applied: methodological bibliography and thematic content reference. The study of 120 members of 43 Waorani families of the Ecuadorian Amazon and a process of direct observation, as a participant observer during the years 2019-2020-2021-2022, resulted in a conceptual model Bailey (1996), where the Waorani use preferences of displacement, economic attributes of the area, location of residence, representation of the spatial-urban structure, space-action, time of stay, activity space and objective spatial structure of the urban environment; and a transect as a very effective method to recognize population movements, sectoral differences, topographic slopes and social dynamics presented in the territory from a plan and elevation view. Human beings adapt easily to new spaces, in spite of cultural and social differences, their assimilation processes will depend on their capacity to approach and accept the environment. The Nuevo Amanecer settlement has motivated families to move to peri-urban or urban spaces in intermediary cities, which has provoked a forced adaptation and assimilation due to the same processes involved in rural-urban relations.

Blending Borders and Sparking Change

Between the mid-1970s and mid-1980s, molecular simulations emerged as a transformative force within materials science. Sidney Yip’s early contributions at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, alongside his involvement in the 1985 International School of Physics “Enrico Fermi” in Varenna, Italy, catalyzed the convergence of traditional methods with computational techniques and helped drive a redefinition of the discipline’s epistemic and methodological boundaries. This article argues that Yip’s biography and professional trajectory as a Chinese-born engineer and scientist in the United States during the Cold War facilitated the acceptance and advancement of molecular simulations within materials research. His work also attracted the interest of leaders from established fields, such as condensed matter physics and chemical physics, to explore the potential applications of these techniques in materials science. In examining his journey, this study illuminates the dual processes of cultural assimilation and hybridity, and highlights Yip’s boundary work that promoted the integration of diverse epistemic traditions and heterogeneous communities. The analysis traces the epistemological transformations, methodological shifts, and the institutional and disciplinary dynamics that fostered the incorporation of molecular simulations into materials science. This examination foregrounds the co-construction of scientific knowledge and technological practice through Yip’s boundary work, and offers an assessment of his contributions within the broader sociotechnical networks that shaped the field. Recognizing the paucity of existing historiography on the subject, this article aims to establish a framework based on primary sources that can serve as a foundation for future scholarly inquiry.

Wall rock assimilation in carbonatite magmas: Textural, mineral and whole-rock geochemical signatures in the jacupiranga complex, Brazil

Carbonatite magmas, with their unique low SiO2 and high volatile compositions, can be extremely reactive with silicate country rocks, driving large chemical exchanges through processes such as magmatic assimilation and fenitization. In this study, we investigate the assimilation process between Jacupiranga carbonatite and clinopyroxenite xenoliths, focusing on the textural, mineralogical, and whole-rock geochemical features of the resulting reaction rocks. These data are compared with those from fluid-derived phlogopitites from the Alto Paranaíba Igneous Province, to evaluate the processes behind the reaction between carbonatite magma and ultramafic rocks. We report the first trace element data on phlogopites from Brazilian carbonatites and associated reaction rocks. Textural, mineralogical and whole-rock geochemical features can be interpreted as the effect of carbonatite magma assimilation of ultramafic rocks, as seen in the Jacupiranga complex. Thermal and chemical quenching promote magma undercooling, allowing the comb-layering formation. Xenolith boundaries act as orbicule cores, favoring nucleation and the crystallization of the reaction assemblage. Phlogopites from Jacupiranga reaction rocks exhibit a wide range of estimated temperatures (550 up to >1000 °C), although diffusive re-equilibration during magmatic and post-magmatic cooling cannot be ruled out. Reaction phlogopites are enriched in Ni and Co near the clinopyroxenite, with depletion of these elements towards the carbonatite front. Conversely, reaction phlogopites near the carbonatite are enriched in Ba, highlighting the effect of the carbonatite melt in the generation of the reaction rocks, which gradually decreases towards the clinopyroxenite contact. The reaction rocks have whole-rock major and trace element contents intermediate between those of the clinopyroxenites and the carbonatite front. Partition coefficients between calcite and apatite in the reaction rocks have flat, somewhat U-shaped patterns for REE, typical signatures of primary igneous calcite and consistent with an origin by magmatic assimilation. This study shows that several imprints of assimilation of ultramafic wall rocks by carbonatite magmas are preserved in the resulting reaction rocks, allowing such a mechanism to be traced by using textural, mineralogical, and whole-rock geochemical evidence.

A szlovákiai magyarság történetének reprezentációja a szlovákiai alapiskolai történelemtankönyvekben

Representation of the History of the Hungarian Minority in Slovakia in Slovak Primary School History Textbooks In the past two decades, Gyula Popély, Attila Simon, László Szarka, Árpád Popély, Gergely Sallai, József Gyönyör and Katalin Vadkerty have written numerous summaries on the history of Hungarians in Slovakia, but what is less known is what children learn about this period sitting in the classroom. What can Hungarian students in Slovakia learn about their history from the textbooks, so that they can develop and shape their image of Hungarianness and form an emotional attachment to their nation, which could greatly contribute to halting the assimilation process that is affecting Hungarians in Slovakia. Of course, in addition to the school, the values conveyed by the family and home environment, society and culture are also decisive (e.g. commemorating the anniversary of the Treaty of Trianon or the day of remembrance of the Hungarians expelled from southern Slovakia). Since the school is the main source of such impact, we chose to study how our own history is reflected in history textbooks, and so we based our research on history textbooks for primary schools in Slovakia. Unfortunately, however, we do not know what other important events and additions, apart from the information in the textbooks, are mentioned in the lessons by the teachers who teach history. To explore this further, a comprehensive questionnaire survey of history teachers in primary schools in Slovakia would be needed, so in our study we have made observations and drawn conclusions only on the basis of the history textbooks analysed.

Numerical experiment on data assimilation for geothermal doublets using production data and electromagnetic observations

The data assimilation process for geothermal reservoirs often relies on well data, which primarily offer insights into the immediate vicinity of the borehole. However, integrating geophysical methods can provide valuable information beyond well proximity, possibly enhancing reservoir predictions. Current methods of monitoring geothermal reservoirs struggle to maintain a good signal-to-noise ratio for deep reservoirs. Diffusive electromagnetic (EM) methods can be sensitive to the decreasing conductivity from heat extraction in geothermal reservoirs and offer promising additional value. To test their potential effectiveness, numerical examples are simulated. A scheme to incorporate diffusive EM observations into a data assimilation process for geothermal reservoirs is presented and implemented in this study. First, an ensemble of prior models representing the reservoir uncertainty is used to determine the moments of the resulting temperature field using a forward geothermal simulation. Subsequently, a conductivity model is calculated from the temperature field using an empirical relationship. The expected electric field response can then be simulated using an EM forward model. EM sources are placed on the surface around the expected cold plume location. The receiver is placed at reservoir depth. To assimilate the data, the ensemble smoother with multiple data assimilation method is used. The findings demonstrate that the incorporation of EM data provides valuable information regarding the temperature field. This improves the accuracy of the temperature forecast of the entire reservoir when combined with the localized data from the production well and, therefore, helps to resolve the complex migration of the cold front. These results highlight the monitoring potential of EM observations for geothermal reservoirs.

Acute copper stress showed toxic effects on the physiological metabolism of Ulva lactuca, a common green macroalgae

The pollution by heavy metals in coastal waters has gradually intensified due to industrial development. In this study, physiological responses of Ulva lactuca, one of the most common green seaweeds with important ecological and economic value in the global intertidal zone, to acute copper stress were investigated. Results showed that an increase in copper ions concentration significantly inhibited photosynthetic activity and inorganic nitrogen utilization by U. lactuca but, increased its respiration. Copper stress limited the activity and gene expression of enzymes related to carbon and nitrogen assimilation of U. lactuca. Under moderate copper stress, U. lactuca had higher soluble carbohydrate and soluble protein contents, whereas under high copper stress, these components decreased sharply. Copper stress increased malonaldehyde content, and relative electrical conductivity in U. lactuca, but changes in antioxidant enzyme activities were not significant and even slightly decreased. Moreover, the contents of 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine and polyADP ribose polymerase in U. lactuca increased by high Cu2+ concentration culture, indicating that oxidative damage caused by high Cu2+ level involved its DNA damage and interfered with DNA repair in the alga. Copper stress seemed to be more damaging to the carbon assimilation process of U. lactuca, resulting in weakened resistance to copper stress and lower growth rate. This reflected the threat of coastal high copper stress to intertidal biodiversity. This provided ecological reference for the assessment of offshore heavy metal pollution represented by copper.

The Impact of Catholic Culture on the Cultural and Spiritual Lives of Contemporary Vietnamese Students

Catholicism has been practiced in Vietnam for more than four centuries. Over seven and a half million people are members of the Vietnamese Catholic community as of the year 2022. The most notable examples of Catholic culture in Vietnam are these forms. A deeper relationship between Vietnamese spirituality and Catholic culture has been established due to the phenomenon known as "Vietnamese" Catholicism. Beyond the confines of the Christian community, Catholic culture is now pervasive throughout Vietnamese society. Students constitute a significant component of the Vietnamese population, particularly the younger generation. In light of this, the question arises as to how the spirituality of Vietnamese students has been influenced by Catholic culture. In order to investigate the process of Catholic cultural assimilation among Vietnamese people, the writers use empirical analysis to investigate four typical narratives: New Year's Day on January 1, Valentine's Day on February 14, and Christmas Day on December 25. It provides a complete explanation of the cultural shifts in society due to globalization. In addition to being inspired by Confucian culture, Vietnam is open to Western culture, particularly Catholicism. Vietnam has a long and illustrious past and a unique culture.

Organizational and methodical features of the application of the game method in the educational process of teenagers in institutions of general secondary education

The article highlights the organizational and methodological features of using the game method in the educational process of teenagers in institutions of general secondary education. This methodological approach allows solving the process of assimilation of educational material against the background of timely prevention or removal of mental fatigue. The use of the game method strengthens the effect of the integration of educational and cognitive activities. Today, in the socio-economic and political life of Ukraine, it is becoming necessary to radically revise the sphere of education and upbringing. It is possible to raise a person successfully only by appropriate methods, which hide the attractiveness of education and training itself. One such method is the game method. Games act as a means of physical education and as a method of organizing a children's team. Through play, the child enters the world of knowledge, begins to learn the alphabet of science against a positive emotional background, and acquires spiritual values. While playing, children feel the joy of realizing their physical and mental strengths, which is an indispensable condition for development. Domestic and foreign scientists, teachers, physiologists, and doctors determined the unique influence of physical culture on a child's health. However, it is obvious that most teenagers do not believe in the importance of physical education. Physical activity did not become the main component of their lifestyle.

Residents’ place attachment and tourist sexual behaviour in a European coastal tourist destination

PurposeDespite extensive research into residents’ attitudes towards tourist behaviour, little has been explored about the extent to which visitors’ practices contribute to the formation of residents’ bonds with their place of residence, which is also a tourist destination. Therefore, this research aims to determine how residents’ perception of tourist sexual behaviour affects their engagement with the urban environment and the image of the city and tourist destination in which they live. To structure and interpret the various attitudes of the residents surveyed, the authors used a conceptual framework based on identity process theory (IPT) in relation to residents’ attitudes and the impact of a particular dimension of tourist behaviour – their sexual practices – on their perceived connection to their place of residence.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire was administered to a sample of 457 residents in Salou to collect data regarding their assessments of the sexual behaviour of tourists in their community. A cluster analysis was used to classify residents according to their attitudes and stances towards the different sexual practices of visitors and their evaluation of the importance of those practices for current and future tourism at the destination. Finally, an analysis of variance was performed to compare significant differences in attitudes towards tourist behaviour and the attachment to Salou among the different segments of residents identified.FindingsThe study identified four groups of residents classified by their attitudes towards tourist sexual behaviour: permissive bystanders, supportive expectants, ambivalent pragmatics and opposed rejectors. Two attitudinal components explain the differences between the groups: tolerance and personal interest, which are associated with how residents construct their bond with Salou in terms of place attachment (PA). These results align well with IPT, as they highlight processes of assimilation, evaluation and the contribution of symbolic significance to the place of residence, mediated by the perception of tourist sexual behaviour.Practical implicationsSome practical recommendations are offered to tourist destination administrations regarding the differences among residents’ attitudes towards tourist behaviour and PA. The findings can serve as a valuable tool for designing tourism policies aimed at selecting markets, as well as for marketing and promoting tourist destinations.Originality/valueThe originality of this study lies in that it considers the role of tourist sexual behaviour as a compositional element of the identity of the place – a tourist destination – where residents live, providing new empirical data on an under-researched academic issue. This article attempts to contribute to a critical perspective by conceptualising and introducing new elements for understanding the identity, attraction and sexuality of tourist sites. The study also connects with the urban analysis of tourist destinations, incorporating the role of sex into the social construction of the tourist city, the creation of identity and image and the attribution of symbolic meaning to destination settings.

Assimilation and morpheme boundaries in Mgira

Phonological assimilation phenomena are often restricted by morphological boundaries. This paper presents data from Mgira in order to argue that both root boundaries and affix boundaries serve to block assimilation processes such as nasal place assimilation and postnasal voicing. The result is that assimilation may obtain, but only within morphemes, not across them. This is analysed as confirmation of the power of the CrispEdge constraints proposed by Itô and Mester (1999) to take precedence over general markedness constraints, blocking feature spreading across morphological boundaries. The analysis is claimed to yield the same effect as a Morpheme Structure Constraint, limiting the force of a constraint to within the boundaries of morphemes.

Have I Been Here Before? The Script System in Clinical Supervision

This paper is a theoretical research-based reflection on the process of clinical supervision. It presents two case study projects focusing on the occurrence and use of the script system and the process of change and assimilation of the problematic script material during supervision. One of the cases is an experienced therapist, “Sarah,” and the other is a novice, “Adam,” both of whom were supervised by an experienced TA supervisor. The authors offer a discussion on the prevalence of script themes within the supervision process and ways of working with them while respecting the supervisory relationship, the level of supervisees’ experience, and the teach/treat boundary. They also reflect on the occurrence of the parallel process and its implications. This led to the development of the script system model and the addition of a relational field between the supervisor and the supervisee that can be used as a supervisory tool.

SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS OF THE ENGINEERING TROOPS

The specifics of the educational process of military educational institutions (combination of military and civilian specialties in one educational program; the need to acquire a volume of knowledge that enables a graduate to solve military-professional tasks without experience of performing official duties) necessitates changes to the military-professional training of cadets, in particular, future specialists of engineering troops. The main purpose of article is to outline the basic system characteristics of the professional training of future engineering troops. During the work on the article, the following methods were used: theoretical analysis of scientific literature on the research problem for the selection and understanding of didactic material; critical analysis of concepts, theories and methods in order to determine ways to solve the problem under study. The generated changes should be implemented systematically and cover the entire process of military professional training of military engineers; to take into account the key requirements for the training of future specialists of the engineering troops (correspondence of the content of the engineering training to the nature of the service and combat activities of the troops and the tasks being performed, to the features of the areas of future actions; the study of scientific achievements, the experience of engineering support for the operations of the troops during martial law in various conditions and their introduction into the practice of engineering training; effective use and development of educational material base). The system characteristics of the training of future specialists of engineering troops are, in particular, compliance by military educational institutions and special training centers with a set of requirements of educational and professional standards. These standards reflect the vision of the state, society and the Ministry of Defense of the integral personality of future specialists of engineering troops. The system levers of improving the military professional training of military engineers include the improvement of the quality of military training of mobilized and servicemen, as a certain balanced compliance with the needs of the state, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), the higher military school. Realization of the potential of information technologies is an important factor in the innovation of training of military engineers. The use of information technologies usually involves a change in the actual logic of the educational (training) process, the vector of which is already directed not from theory to practice, but from gaining new experience to its theoretical awareness. At the same time, increasing the efficiency of training military specialists is made possible by intensifying the process of understanding, assimilation, and creative application of knowledge when solving practical tasks. Intensification of the process of professional training of future specialists of the engineering forces in the conditions of an electronic informational educational environment is implemented by: ensuring the necessary access to sources of information that expands the boundaries of the worldview of listeners and cadets; creation of conditions and opportunities for quick and effective search, processing, analysis, and saving of the necessary information.
