Implementation Of Interdisciplinary Approach In The Process Of Higher Education Digital Transformation

The article deals with the problem of information and methodological support of the educational process in universities in the context of the digital transformation of higher education. An analysis of scientific publications on the topic of the article showed that this process can be activated by applying an interdisciplinary approach. It can be implemented by creating interdepartmental research teams at universities, the main participants of which will be future IT specialists and their leaders from among the leading teachers of IT departments. As part of the activities of these teams, digital educational resources will be developed by order of university departments and other departments of the university. At the same time, IT developers of educational resources will increase their skills in the field of creating various kinds of software. As a result of the activities of such teams, the digital educational environment of the university will be replenished with up-to-date digital educational resources and their methodological support

Effects of Mediation on Employee Efficiency in Human Services Centers and in Other Organizations that Serve Vulnerable Populations

Social workers and other professionals who offer caring services to vulnerable populations are oftentimes exposed to stressful environments. Employee burnout, vicarious traumas, and other stressors jeopardize worker’s efficiency. According to previously conducted research studies, organizational and interpersonal conflicts may be effectively addressed through mediation. However, the studies do not address the use of mediation for the resolution of workplace disputes in centers of human services. This study explores effects of mediation on worker’s efficiency in such centers, and this study proposes that mediation positively affects worker’s efficiency. The proposed methodology for testing this proposition involves a single case study with the mixed method design that entails quantitative and qualitative methods of studying documentation and the qualitative analysis of interviews. The goal of this dissertation is to enhance the understanding of the mediation potential in human services; thusly, advancing worker’s improvement in human services. The findings of the quantitative study demonstrate visible declining tendencies of work stoppages with the continuous use of mediation. However, significant correlations are only recorded between four out of ten studied variables; causality may not be concluded. The findings of the analysis of three subcases show the connection between mediation and workplace performance. The findings of the interview analysis demonstrate positive effects of mediation but warn that other variables should be considered. This researcher intends for the findings to advance the knowledge of mediation for caring professionals

Integrating network storage into information retrieval applications

The object-oriented software environment GTP (General Text Parser) with network storage capability has been designed to provide a scalable solution to index creation and query processing. GTP allows information retrieval and data mining professionals to parse a large collection of documents and create a vector space information retrieval model for subsequent concept-based query processing (GTPQUERY). The software\u27s numerous options allow users to tune the model to their specific needs. Depending on the size of the collection, the facilitation of the model may require an enormous amount of local storage. The addition of network storage capability addresses the problem of inadequate local storage and file sharing over the network. Tools defining the Logistical Networking Testbed developed in the Logistical Computing and Intrnetworking (LoCI) Lab at the University of Tennessee are used to demonstrate both the creation and use of remotely stored indices. With the development of new network storage technologies, the software will be able to forgo most local file generation and will allow remote users to share the index created by GTP

RNase T1 mimicking artificial ribonuclease

Recently, artificial ribonucleases (aRNases)—conjugates of oligodeoxyribonucleotides and peptide (LR)4-G-amide—were designed and assessed in terms of the activity and specificity of RNA cleavage. The conjugates were shown to cleave RNA at Pyr-A and G–X sequences. Variations of oligonucleotide length and sequence, peptide and linker structure led to the development of conjugates exhibiting G–X cleavage specificity only. The most efficient catalyst is built of nonadeoxyribonucleotide of unique sequence and peptide (LR)4-G-NH2 connected by the linker of three abasic deoxyribonucleotides (conjugate pep-9). Investigation of the cleavage specificity of conjugate pep-9 showed that the compound is the first single-stranded guanine-specific aRNase, which mimics RNase T1. Rate enhancement of RNA cleavage at G–X linkages catalysed by pep-9 is 108 compared to non-catalysed reaction, pep-9 cleaves these linkages only 105-fold less efficiently than RNase T1 (kcat_RNase T1/kcat_pep-9 = 105)
