The relationship of time perspective and subjective perceptions of students as the empirical base for individualization of the educational path

The significance of the investigated problem is stipulated by the need in practicing individualization of vocational educational process in the continuing education and lack of scientific and methodological support of its accompaniment. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the subjective perceptions and temporal perspective as the empirical bases of individualization of vocational and educational process. The leading method of research of this problem is a questionnaire that allows to identify the level of demonstration time perspectives (adapted technique ZTPI) and differentiate subjective judgments about the system of vocational education, professional self-determination process (questionnaire). The results of empirical study of time perspective, the subjective perception of vocational education and retrospective-prospective (forward-looking) aspects of professional self-determination, as well as their relationship with students are presented and discussed in the article. The results can be taken into account in the scientific and methodological support of individualization of vocational and educational process and in applied methods of formation of individual educational paths in vocational education. © 2016 Zavodchikov et al

Призначення та проведення експертиз: проблеми законодавства і практики

It has been noted that the problems of procedural guaranteeing of the rights of victims, suspects (accused) in terms of reforming the criminal procedural legislation are relevant during the appointment and holding of the examination and require further research. The aim of this study is to analyze the current criminal procedural legislation on the appointment and conduction of examination and to develop propositions for its improvement. The authors of the article have analyzed the existing procedural legislation on the appointment and conduction of examination; have defined the problematic issues of procedural guaranteeing of the rights of victims, suspects (accused) in the appointment and conduction of examination; and have offered the ways to solve them; have substantiated the need for legislative regulation of additional and re-examination of explosive and technical examination and have provided forensic recommendations to eliminate these problems. Based on the conducted research, the authors have provided the following suggestions and recommendations: 1) to enshrine the right of the prosecution and defense parties in the Art. 243 of the Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine (CPC) to independently appoint an examination; 2) to declare it appropriate to supplement Section 3 of the CPC with the Art. 56-1 “Rights of the victim in the appointment and conduction of examination”, which should enshrine the relevant rights; 3) to declare it expedient to supplement Section 20 of the CPC of Ukraine with the Art. 242-1, which should determine the rights of the suspect (accused) in the appointment and conduction of examination; 4) to standardize the procedure for the appointment of additional expertise in paragraph 11 of the Art. 101 of the CPC; 5) to standardize the procedure for the appointment of re-examination in paragraph 12 of the Art. 101 of the CPC; 6) to recommend investigators and judges to determine the expert’s questions depending on the objects of expert examination; 7) to improve the stage of experimental testing of objects in carrying out explosive examination.Розглянуто проблемні питання призначення та проведення експертизи, обґрунтовано необхідність унормування процесуальної процедури призначення повторної та додаткової експертиз.

Longitudinal borehole functionality in 15 rural Ghanaian towns from three groundwater quality clusters

OBJECTIVE: In sub-Saharan Africa, 45% of the rural population uses boreholes (BHs). Despite recent gains in improved water access and coverage, parallel use of unimproved sources persists. Periodic infrastructure disrepair contributes to non-exclusive use of BHs. Our study describes functionality of BHs in 2014, 2015, and 2016 in 15 rural towns in the Eastern Region of Ghana sourced from three groundwater quality clusters (high iron, high salinity, and control). We also assess factors affecting cross-sectional and longitudinal functionality using logistic regression. RESULTS: BH functionality rates ranged between 81 and 87% and were similar across groundwater quality clusters. Of 51 BHs assessed in all three years, 34 (67%) were consistently functional and only 3 (6%) were consistently broken. There was a shift toward proactive payment for water over the course of the study in the control and high-salinity clusters. Payment mechanism, population served, presence of nearby alternative water sources, and groundwater quality cluster were not significant predictors of cross-sectional or longitudinal BH functionality. However, even in the high iron cluster, where water quality is poor and no structured payment mechanism for water exists, BHs are maintained, showing that they are important community resources

Дифференциация частиц золота из продуктов гравитационного обогащения руд Тарданского месторождения

We conducted an analysis, generalization, and comparison of content, granulometric and chemical composition, and morphology of lode gold from the Tardan deposit as well as from the tailings of the ore gold gravity concentration. It was established that the particles with less fall velocity than those from dominant part of the ore gold are delivered in tailings. Alteration of gold in exogenic conditions (formation of the granulometric structure and chemical composition) depends on the characteristics of ore gold, processing technology, and physical-chemical, and biogenic conditions formed in the concentration wastes medium.Проведены анализ, обобщение и сравнение материалов по содержанию, гранулометрическому и химическому составу, морфологии золота рудного месторождения Тардан и «хвостов» гравитационного обогащения коренных руд. В отвал поступает золото с меньшей гидравлической крупностью, чем у основной части рудного золота. Эволюция преобразования золота в экзогенной среде, а именно формирование его гранулометрической структуры и химического состава, прямо зависит от золота, поступающего из природного источника, технологии отработки и физико-химических и биогенных условий среды

Plasmids specifying ε{lunate}-caprolactam degradation in Pseudomonas strains

The large plasmid DNAs were found in several strains of Pseudomonas sp. capable of growing on ε{lunate}-caprolactam as a sole source of carbon and nitrogen. The ability to grow on ε{lunate}-caprolactam and ε{lunate}-aminocaproic acid as sole sources of carbon or nitrogen and adipic acid as a sole source of carbon could be transferred in interspecies crosses. All transconjugants harboured corresponding large plasmid DNAs. It was suggested that the discovered plasmids possessed the genetic material controlling several consecutive reactions of ε{lunate}-caprolactam catabolism yielding acetate and succinate. © 1984

Composition of the oil-slime microbial community as determined by analysis of the 16S rRNA gene

Analysis of the 16S rRNA genes of the cultured microorganisms of industrial oil-slime revealed predominance (~85-90%) of the Gammaproteobacteria in the community of aerobic heterotrophs and specific oil-slime degraders. Relation of the isolated strains with members of the genera Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, and Enterobacter was established. Analysis of the same gene in the total DNA from the oil-slime revealed greater microbial diversity (~20 operative taxonomic units determined by T-RFLP) than in the cultured part of the community, which included ∼12 different colony types. Three major restriction fragments were found, with their total area ∼50%. These results demonstrated the low morphological and phylogenetic diversity of the oil-slime bacterial community. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd
