EFFECT OF THE REGIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE ON RUNOFF FROM THE LAKE ONEGO WATERSHED
As a result of the statistical analysis of the meteorological and water balance data for Onego Lake watershed over the period 1950-2000, noticeable changes were detected. It was found that time series of annual air temperature, precipitation and evapotranspiration over 50-year period contains positive linear trends, but no change in total streamflow to the lake has so far followed. Potential changes in the regional climate and hydrological regime for the period 2000-2050 were estimated using the results of numerical modeling with the ECHAM4/OPYC3 model for two scenarios of the global climate change. The estimation of these data shows that a general tendency to increase of annual air temperature and precipitation will remain in the new climate Mean annual precipitation will increase about 30-50 mm, mean average annual air temperature for the next 50-years period will rise from 1.6 up to 2.7-3.0 °C. Our estimation shows that for both scenarios all water balance parameters, excluding river runoff, will increase
Contemporary Conditions of Efficient Implementation of Inclusive Education at the University
The paper analyzes the conditions of introducing inclusive education at universities. The suggested classification of necessary conditions may be applied in practice for efficient inclusion at higher educational institutions. We used the methods of descriptive analysis, observation, and Pearson’s chisquared test (χ2). The research findings include the identified efficient conditions of inclusive education, such as (1) creating a column about “Inspiring stories” on the website of the educational institution; (2) conducting group psychological training for students, joint activities, and the so-called “student hour”; (3) establishing a department of distance and inclusive education; (4) developing further education courses for teachers with a focus on communication with students with disabilities and health-related conditions; (5) designing courses for tutors and assisting students with disabilities and health-related conditions to provide them with comprehensive support within the entire period of study at universities; and (6) creating online and offline courses for teachers to develop their readiness to introduce inclusive education at universities by five criteria
Anisotropic flow fluctuations in hydro-inspired freeze-out model for relativistic heavy ion collisions
The LHC data on event-by-event harmonic flow coefficients measured in PbPb
collisions at center-of-mass energy 2.76 TeV per nucleon pair are analyzed and
interpreted within the HYDJET++ model. To compare the model results with the
experimental data the unfolding procedure is employed. The essentially
dynamical origin of the flow fluctuations in hydro-inspired freeze-out approach
has been established. It is shown that the simple modification of the model via
introducing the distribution over spatial anisotropy parameters permits
HYDJET++ to reproduce both elliptic and triangular flow fluctuations and
related to it eccentricity fluctuations of the initial state at the LHC energy.Comment: 12 pages including 9 figures as EPS-files; prepared using LaTeX

HYDRO + JETS (HYDJET++) event generator for Pb+Pb collisions at LHC
The Monte Carlo event generator HYDJET++ is one of the few generators,
designed for the calculations of heavy-ion collisions at ultrarelativistic
energies, which combine treatment of soft hydro-like processes with the
description of jets traversing the hot and dense partonic medium. The model is
employed to study the azimuthal anisotropy phenomena, dihadron angular
correlations and event-by-event (EbyE) fluctuations of the anisotropic flow in
Pb+Pb collisions at TeV. The interplay of soft and hard
processes describes the violation of the mass hierarchy of meson and baryon
elliptic and triangular flows at p_T > 2 GeV/c, the fall-off of the flow
harmonics at intermediate transverse momenta, and the worsening of the
number-of-constituent-quark (NCQ) scaling of elliptic/triangular flow at LHC
compared to RHIC energies. The cross-talk of v_2 and v_3 leads to emergence of
higher order harmonics in the model and to appearance of the ridge structure in
dihadron angular correlations in a broad pseudorapidity range. HYDJET++
possesses also the dynamical EbyE fluctuations of the anisotropic flow. The
model results agree well with the experimental data.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, contribution to Proceedings of the Winter

Game-based learning in teaching English
The formation and development of a new education system and the labor market promotes that requirements to the level of language proficiency of students considerably increase. The purpose of learning of foreign language is changing. The knowledge of English language and ability to conduct a fluent dialogue becomes one of the criteria of professionalism and future career development. In connection with these requirements, teaching a foreign language acquires a particular importance. The efficiency of teaching a foreign language in higher education institution assumes modernization of the content and educational technologies. The aim of the paper is to overlook the impact of active and game-based approaches on the educational process. Positive and the negative sides of applying game-based learning in teaching English are under argument. The article reveals the essence of such terms as «game-based learning», «pedagogical technology», and «educational game». The use of game-based learning influences emotional and personal spheres of students and pushes the studying process of learning a language; the main goal of self-realization and self-improvement of knowledge in the field of English language. The content of paper may be useful for foreign language teachers, application of game-based learning is required for improvement of quality of education

Inter-granular effects at high magnetic fields of cuprate and iron chalcogenide superconducting materials
The weak links effects are one of the main challenges for effective power applications of high temperature superconducting materials. Studies of these effects help for their better understanding and subsequent improvement. An overview analysis of the intergranular properties of cuprate (Y0.8Ca0.2Ba2Cu3O7-δ) and iron-based chalcogenide (FeSe0.5Te0.5) polycrystalline samples was carried out, by means of series of electro-transport experiments at different magnetic fields. The temperature evolution of the Josephson coupling and intrinsic superconductivity effects for the both systems was constructed. The FeSe0.5Te0.5 compound shows very stable and superior behavior compared to Y0.8Ca0.2BCO up to the highest magnetic fields (14T) used. We have explored FeSe0.5Te0.5 Josephson weak links influence (as a non-linear process) over the resistive transition using different AC current amplitudes and applying the sensitive AC transport third harmonics technique
