USE OF THE EXPERIENCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF HIGHER MILITARY EDUCATION IN THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND IN UKRAINE

The problem of training highly qualified personnel for various structures of the state, the formation of education, culture, and professionalism has been relevant at all times. The article examines the main areas of improvement of military education. It is revealed that military education is a unique, closed system, the purpose of which is the professional training of military specialists with a high level of competence and moral and psychological training. Structural institutes of military education function in a single educational regulatory and legal field, are a component of the national education system and one of the main sources of ensuring the state’s defense capability. The experience of training military specialists for the armed forces of the Republic of Poland was considered and the analysis of the existing network of military educational institutions for the training of officers of various branches of the military administration, as well as for the training of non-commissioned officers, was carried out. It was revealed that Poland has a rich history of the functioning of military education, it is known about the creation of a military training school whose task was to prepare Polish youth for military service and civilian work at the same time. Today, civilian educational institutions in Poland have departments of military training, which allows for high-quality training of civilian and military personnel. The main advantages and disadvantages of the Polish military education system are identified. The advantages include the experience of adopting the Law on Higher Military Education in Poland in 1965, which contributed to officer schools obtaining the status of universities and the development of science in military schools, where scientific research in the field of military education was actively conducted, which allowed to improve the quality of training of military personnel. Among the shortcomings, we can mention the attempts to reform military education by the teams headed by the Ministry of National Defense of Poland, contrary to the current legal norms and standards operating in the academic world, which led to the decline of military science. It was concluded that, despite the differences in functioning in different countries of the world, it is possible to single out the general trends of the development of the higher military school in the XXI century. The military education systems of most countries are built according to a certain pattern. It seems appropriate to study the experience of Poland, which can be useful for Ukraine.

Processing of aerial photographs in geoinformation systems for constructing models of possible flooding zones in a flood-prone period

The natural and geological conditions of the Khabarovsk Territory determine the specificity of any region, characterized by the annual occurrence of spring mash phenomena, their gradual transition to the summer-autumn flood-hazardous period and the departure into winter with a high water level. Forecasting the scale of possible flooding of territories is the basis for early response of the forces and means of the Unified State System for the Prevention and Response of Emergency Situations (RSChS) The paper discusses the professional experience of specialists from the Crisis Management Center of the Main Directorate of the EMERCOM of Russia for the Khabarovsk Territory in preparing models of possible flooding of settlements applying the QGIS geographic information system during the flood-prone period of 2021 in the Khabarovsk Territory. The authors identify peculiarities of the unmanned aerial vehicles used to predict areas of possible flooding such as the need for early aerial photography of human settlements; dependence of the quality of orthophotomaps on the experience of specialists performing aerial photography; variability of coastline relief; dependence on weather conditions; short period, favorable for aerial photography; inaccessibility of settlements; location of settlements in the border area. The matching of models obtained with the help of QGIS with the actual situation developed during the 2021 flood crest was identified. Also, some peculiarities and disadvantages were defined despite the positive experience of forecasting by modeling flood zones (flooding).

Conservative preparation of curved root canals using novel nickel-titanium instruments: influence of operator experience

BackgroundNickel-titanium (NiTi) instrumentation systems allow predictable dental root canal treatment. Novel systems promoting conservative preparation are constantly introduced into the market. Therefore, this study aimed to explore how operator experience would influence the performance using a new system – Race Evo- in preparation of curved root canals. MethodsThree groups of participants, with no previous experience with Race Evo, were compared: Third-year dental students, general dental practitioners (GPs), and endodontists. Each participant was asked to prepare 3 simulated resin blocks. Preparation time, the occurrence of procedural errors, and canal deviation were measured. ResultsEndodontists prepared the canals with significantly fewer procedural errors (p = 0.027), and in less time than students (p < 0.001) and GPs (p = 0.019). However, there was no significant difference in performance between undergraduate students and GPs. In fact, endodontists and students alike prepared the canal with less deviation compared to GPs (p = 0.006 and p = 0.002). ConclusionProficiency in instrumenting curved canals with a new conservative NiTi system was not influenced by experience related to that of the general dental practitioner, but required more specialized experience in root canal treatment. Regardless of experience level, a learning period was still necessary.

Expanding Preservice Teachers’ Conceptions about Disability Through Young Adult Literature

This article provides information and resources to help special education teacher educators improve preservice teachers’ competence for working with disabled1 students and addressing ableism in their classrooms, by incorporating young adult (YA) literature into special education teacher preparation experiences. Embedding YA literature with representations of disability can address ableism in education by helping preservice special education teachers to conceptualize disabled adolescents differently. Current approaches to teacher education may reinforce dysconscious ableism (Broderick &amp; Lalvani, 2017) and undergird educational segregation on the basis of disability. After reviewing current literature on addressing ableism during teacher preparation and using YA literature in teacher education, this article models how special education teacher educators can critically examine YA texts by providing criteria for evaluating representations of disability and a unit plan with three lessons for use in an introductory special education course. A bibliography of young adult books featuring characters with disabilities is also provided.

Practice Guidelines of Nursing and Midwifery Diabetes Care – 2023. A position statement of Polish federation for education in Diabetology

Abstract Introduction. The history of recommendations by the Polish Federation for Education in Diabetology dates back to 2006, when guidelines for nurses/midwifes working with diabetic patients were first drawn up. However, the development of nurses and midwifes? competences requires stronger actions that foster a transition from experience-based towards evidence-based practice. Aim. The aim of this publication is to present a set of procedures describing nursing interventions in diabetes care, including currently available scientific evidence and clinical experience of specialists involved in the care of diabetic patients. Material and methods. The study involved a literature review of selected areas of nursing practice in diabetes care. When compiling the material, the priority was to use data from (in order of significance): randomized controlled clinical trials and their meta-analyses, observational studies and other studies with lower levels of evidence. Results. Based on an analysis of the collected material, 15 procedures and 2 guidelines have been developed, describing selected aspects of nursing interventions in diabetic patients. Each of the procedures details key recommendations on diabetes care, arranged in accordance of the significance ascribed to the scientific evidence analyzed. Conclusions. The 2023 PFED guidelines on nursing diabetes care are the effect of the evaluation of the previous versions and comprise an updated, considerably more extensive, comprehensive and evidence-based set of practices. The major asset of these guidelines is their interdisciplinarity, reflected in the fact that the final version of the publication was approved by consultants in numerous nursing fields, a consultant in diabetology, and the President of the Polish Federation for Education in Diabetology, who all represent the medical community. The authors experience gained during work on international recommendations (New Insulin Delivery Recommendations) played an important role when formulating the present guidelines.

Attitude of elite tennis coaches working with athletes with intellectual disabilities participating in Special Olympics.

There is a paucity of research regarding the attitudes of coaches towards training athletes with intellectual disabilities (ID). This is particularly evident for coaches working with athletes with ID that are competing in the innovative Special Olympics (SO) Unified Sports programme. Research on the inclusive impact of sport plays a significant role, not only in sports development but also in the training of sports professionals and coaches, as a sufficient amount of special coaching experience is required to achieve inclusion. For this reason, this study was conducted among professionals coaching tennis with athletes with ID. The purpose of this study was to analyse the attitudes of tennis coaches working with athletes with ID in the SO tennis programme. The study was conducted on a sample of internationally recognised elite tennis coaches (n=78) working with tennis players with ID at two international tennis competitions. A questionnaire and a structured interview were conducted with the coaches to examine the sociometric characteristics of the coaches involved in the research. Findings were then compared with views on professional statements for similarities and differences in their attitudes towards their athletes and their work. Results indicated that coaches felt the most important criteria for a coach working successfully with athletes with ID were (1) a wide range of knowledge, (2) professional expertise, (3) social sensitivity, (4) positive attitude and (5) motivation. Results supported the existing theoretical findings that besides professional expertise and experience, a basic knowledge about disability is needed among coaches working with athletes with ID. This research was unique in the international scene, in that, although the number of tennis coaches working within the movement of SO is relatively high, to this date, no scientific survey has been focused on them.

Accountant profession and ethics of its behavior

The article reveals important aspects of the profession of an accountant, the ethical norms of accountant´s behaviour, and the social and moral norms of behavior for individuals in this professional group. The main objectives of business ethics are highlighted, including key components of the professional accounting ethics, which were originally developed in the United States in the form of an ethical code for accountants. The essence of professional ethics for accountants and auditors is defined as a code of relevant rules that determine the behavior of specialists in the workplace, as well as norms that correspond to existing legislative and regulatory acts and official regulatory documents, professional knowledge, relationships in the team, a deep awareness of moral responsibility for performance professional duties. An important place in professional ethics belongs to consideration of the professional responsibility of a specialist in the field of accounting and auditing. The authors note that it is relevant for the domestic market to adhere to foreign practices, where violations of professional ethics, including the code of ethics for professional accountants and auditors, can lead to the revocation of a license to practice within the profession after review by special committees. The priority role in the education of highly qualified specialists and their compliance with ethical rules belongs to the sphere of education, particularly higher educational institutions, advanced training courses, webinars, conferences, etc. Science, education, and practical experience of specialists should create the basis for professional knowledge, skills, values, ethics, and attitudes toward the profession. The article describes the profession of an accountant as one of the most responsible professions, as errors in financial documents can result in significant fines for business owners. Competencies and personal characteristics of accountants in modern conditions and the realities of our lives are also mentioned.

Educating Bilingual Social Workers for the Child Welfare Workforce

Spanish/English bilingual (SEB) speaking social workers are in high demand, particularly in the area of Child Welfare. Most require training and institutional support to increase their cultural and linguistic competence, yet the majority receive no specific education or support. As a result, many encounter inequities in the workforce. Research points to several elements that are essential to the education and development of SEB social workers. They include professional terminology, supervision in Spanish, and the opportunity to integrate theory and practice. To respond to the needs of a growing Spanish-speaking population, the UConn BSW Program has added a Child Welfare and Protection (CWP) track. CWP is designed to provide BSW SEB speaking students with specialized knowledge and experience to meet the needs of Latinx families served by the Connecticut Department of Children and Families (CT DCF). This paper describes how the UConn BSW program and DCF collaborated to re-envision social work education for SEB students and contribute to distributive justice for client and worker. The CWP Track prepares BSW students to work with a range of Spanish-speaking clients while facilitating institutional support including incentives to create a much-needed workforce pipeline for SEB social work students interested in child welfare.

Цифровая трансформация и технологическая независимость горнодобывающей отрасли

The main modern trend that determines the development direction of the mining technology is the digitalization of both the engineering support tools for mining operations and the means of controlling the technological processes of mining production. The process of digital transformation has a rather long history, but in recent years, due to the rapid development of computer technology, software and communication tools, it has reached a level that allows making a qualitative leap in the mining technology itself. Digital technologies make it possible not only to combine data and models in a single digital space, but also to give them dynamics, turning models into a digital likeness of real objects. Thus, the way of organizing the digital space of a mining enterprise largely determines the level of digital transformation of production. There are four main stages in the digital transformation of the mining industry: from automating the solution of individual tasks to the digital twin of a mining enterprise. The presence of a single digital space at the enterprise makes it possible to implement a number of promising digital technologies that provide a qualitatively new level of mining management and ensuring their safety. The most important issue of the digital transformation of the mining industry, especially in the context of sanctions, is to ensure the technological sovereignty of the country. The current situation in the field of software shows the other side of globalization, which, in fact, has led to monopolization of the Russian market by the Western software companies. The solution to this problem is the transition to domestic software. And this is not only the task of the state, but also that of enterprises interested in the stable functioning of their industries and the growth of qualifications of their employees, because domestic developers rely primarily on the knowledge and experience of Russian specialists, involving them in the innovation process.

Анализ методик расчета производительности карьерных гидравлических экскаваторов

The productivity of mechanical and hydraulic excavators is the main indicator characterizing the efficiency of their operation and a tool for planning all kinds of works, in which excavators are involved. There is a considerable quantity of techniques to calculate the productivity of mining machines; despite their general similarity and subordination to the same trend, there are many discrepancies which prevent the use of one or another technique as a universal one or creation of such on its basis. Basically, these discrepancies concern the correction coefficients, characterizing the excavator operating modes. When calculating the technical, and even more, the passport capacity, the methods of their calculation are more or less the same, and certain generalizations can be made about the genesis of a particular factor, but the operational performance is a completely different matter. In this paper, the authors analyze the methods of calculating the capacity of excavators according to the manuals of some foreign manufacturers, as well as reference books on mining. Some discrepancies both in the methods themselves and in the mining terminology are established; priority measures for the elimination of the identified shortcomings are proposed.The current situation in the field of software shows the other side of globalization, which, in fact, has led to monopolization of the Russian market by the Western software companies. The solution to this problem is the transition to domestic software. And this is not only the task of the state, but also that of enterprises interested in the stable functioning of their industries and the growth of qualifications of their employees, because domestic developers rely primarily on the knowledge and experience of Russian specialists, involving them in the innovation process.

NFT(Non-Fungible Token) 패션의 활용 유형과 내적 가치

The purpose of this study is to analyze the types of utilization and internal value of non-fungible token(NFT) fashion. The research method was a literature review that involved referring to professional books, papers, articles, and websites on NFT and virtual fashion, and 112 NFT fashion works were collected and analyzed based on the findings of a related keyword search. NFT was found to be applied to various fields, such as art, collections, social networks, games, and real estate by applying uniqueness and scarcity to digital assets using blockchain technology. The types of use of NFT fashion were found to be as follows. First, collectable NFT fashion, with its unique design and scarcity is receiving investment. In addition, limited-edition sneakers, bags, and high fashion costumes have artistic value and provide brand value and special experiences. Second, game-type NFT fashion mainly appears as avatars, accessories, and weapon items created in collaboration with luxury fashion brands and Metaverse game platforms. NFT fashion, which applies the patterns and symbols of luxury fashion brands, is becoming a means of showing off one’s wealth and status in the digital world. Third, advertising and event-type NFT fashion which appears as an agreement between companies, a red-carpet AR dress, the first NFT fashion magazine and film, and limited-edition figures, has great influence and popularity. Three types of internal value of NFT fashion were found: (1) play value through games and fantasies, (2) sustainability value through virtual experiences, and (3) economic value through scarcity.

Modified Self-Adaptive Bayesian Algorithm for Smart Heart Disease Prediction in IoT System

Heart disease (HD) has surpassed all other causes of death in recent years. Estimating one’s risk of developing heart disease is difficult, since it takes both specialized knowledge and practical experience. The collection of sensor information for the diagnosis and prognosis of cardiac disease is a recent application of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in healthcare organizations. Despite the efforts of many scientists, the diagnostic results for HD remain unreliable. To solve this problem, we offer an IoT platform that uses a Modified Self-Adaptive Bayesian algorithm (MSABA) to provide more precise assessments of HD. When the patient wears the smartwatch and pulse sensor device, it records vital signs, including electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood pressure, and sends the data to a computer. The MSABA is used to determine whether the sensor data that has been obtained is normal or abnormal. To retrieve the features, the kernel discriminant analysis (KDA) is used. By contrasting the suggested MSABA with existing models, we can summarize the system’s efficacy. Findings like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 measures show that the suggested MSABA-based prediction system outperforms competing approaches. The suggested method demonstrates that the MSABA achieves the highest rate of accuracy compared to the existing classifiers for the largest possible amount of data.

PREREQUISITES FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT AND DEVELOPMENT FACTORS OF LEGAL TRAINING OF OFFICERS IN HIGHER MILITARY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS OF UKRAINE (MID-XX – EARLY XXI CENTURY)

Based on the analysis of scientific, educational and methodological literature, as well as archival sources, the author of the article substantiated the key prerequisites for the formation and development factors of the legal education of officers in higher military educational institutions of Ukraine. The author founds that important prerequisites for the process of legal education of officers in the higher military school of Ukraine of the studied period were the need to ensure military discipline, the dominance of Soviet legal understanding, and the complication of organizational and managerial relations in the military sphere. In addition, it was determined that during the middle of the 20th ‒ the beginning of the 21st century, the development of legal education as an element of the training of military specialists with higher education was influenced by three groups of factors: normative and legal; socio-political; socio-economic. Rethinking the experience of training military specialists with higher education, accumulated in Soviet times, can today be considered one of the urgent tasks of thehistory of domestic educational science. The analysis of achievements and miscalculations of educational theory and practice of the past allows us to determine further steps in reforming the school for training officers for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Therefore, the analysis of the process of formation of military education in Ukraine points to ways of its improvement. Legal education is an important component of the training of personnel whose task is to protect the sovereignty of the state.&#x0D; Keywords: legal education; legal upbringing; officer; prerequisites; factors; higher military school; military pedagogy; Soviet law.

The Expansion of Consciousness during Mystical Experiences: The Example of Moses

What happens in the brain during meditation? Neuroscientists such as Andrew Newberg, who studies religious experiences on the neural level, may provide an answer. He calls the devolution, which is similar to all mystical experiences in different faiths, self-transcendent experience (STE); in a further instance, he also calls it the feeling of Absolute Unitary Being (AUB). A more detailed consideration of related issues is done by examining the human expansion of consciousness in Islamic mysticism based on an event depicted in the Qurʾān, namely Mosesʾ desire to talk to or see God, his subsequent unconsciousness due to the awe of God, and his subsequent attainment of a new consciousness. The following paper will have a brief look at the case of Moses and aims to investigate the states of consciousness during such experiences. Here, an attempt will be made to trace and prove a connection between neuroscience and the mystical state of the feeling of union with God. In doing so, particular attention will be paid to the state of the encounter between Moses and God. From a neuropsychological point of view, the question will be investigated whether the special spiritual experiences such as those of Moses can be measured, and within this framework, different consciousness models will be presented. Can Newberg’s STE or AUB theory be regarded equally with the fanāʾ state? Finally, which kind of psychological experience is applicable to Moses will be examined.

A study to evaluate the preferences of dentists for the materials chosen to restore endodontically treated teeth and the influence of both clinical experience and level of specialization on the dentist's choice of posts

Background: In endodontics, dentist's choice for using posts/materials relevant to posts used to restore endodontic-treated teeth is influenced by clinical experience, whether concerning the length of practice time and level of specialization. Objective: Traditional restorative approaches are being modified as newer materials become available and patient preferences shift. The purpose of the study was to see if dentists' preferences for using posts and other materials associated to post used to restore endodontically treated teeth are influenced by practical experience, whether measured by the length of clinical practice time or level of specialty. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted with dentists (n = 100) working in Karnataka utilizing a questionnaire. Data on sociodemographics, clinical experience, postgraduate training, and postendodontic restoration characteristics (posts/types of cement and rubber dam application) were obtained. The samples only included general and specialist dentists. A descriptive analysis was performed on the data. The Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test investigated the relationships. Results: The most chosen materials were metal posts (60%) and resin cement (70%). There was a statistically significant association between clinical practice duration and postuse type (P = 0.017). In addition, there was a highly significant relationship (P = 0.001) between clinical practice time, level of specialty, and the use of rubber dams. Conclusions: Dentists favored metal posts for post endodontic restorations, while resin-based cement was the preferred luting cement for the posts' cementation. Additional training and more clinical practice time were factors in several dental postselection decisions.
