The Impact

Purpose. The aim of the article is substantiation of the methodical approach to the calculation of the integrated index of product competitiveness and assessment of the level of competitiveness of corn for grain, winter rape seeds and colza of agricultural enterprises of Ukraine. Methodology of research. The following methods are used in the research process: analysis and synthesis - to study the indicators of cultivation and sale of corn for grain, winter rape and colza in agricultural enterprises of Ukraine; abstract and logical - for formulation of conclusions and generalizations; cartographic - to analyse the competitiveness index of maize for grain, winter rape and colza. Findings. A set of indicators for calculating the integrated index of competitiveness of the studied crops: yield, sales price of 1 quintal of production, total cost of production, sales, market share, profit per 1 quintal of sales, profit per 1 ha of sown area, marketability level, level profitability of production. The competitiveness of corn for grain, winter rape and colza grown by agricultural enterprises in the context of the regions of Ukraine was assessed. A scale for assessing the competitiveness of corn for grain, winter rape and colza was developed. Originality. A method for assessing the level of competitiveness of corn for grain, winter rape and colza, on the basis of which it is possible to form effective ways to increase it, is proposed. Practical value. The proposed methodological approach to assessing the competitiveness of corn for grain, winter rape and colza of agricultural enterprises allows to analyse and substantiate the results from large data sets, take into account the impact of stimulants and destimulators of selected traits on the final result, combine and use criteria and indicators . Key words: corn for grain, rapeseed, colza, assessment of product competitiveness, integrated competitiveness index, agricultural enterprises.

Methodological Approaches

The article is devoted to the theoretical analysis of methodological bases for the formation of professional competence of applicants of higher art and pedagogical education. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the leading methodological approaches to the formation of professional competence of future teachers of art specialties. Methods. The following methods were used in the research process: analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature, generalization, synthesis, formulation of conclusions. The results. The authors of the article highlight the essence of the concept of "professional competence of future teachers of art specialties" and outline the directions of formation of this pedagogical category. The article suggests the analysis of the concept of "methodology" and "methodological approach". The benefit of the study is that the authors proved that the successful formation of professional competence of future teachers of art specialties will contribute to the implementation in the educational process of higher pedagogical education ideas of competency, system, activity, culturological, axiological and acmeological approaches. The essence and content of the mentioned methodological approaches in the context of art pedagogy are characterized. Conclusions. The authors of the article state that the analysis of scientific literature together with the essence and specifics of forming the professional competence of future teachers of art specialties enabled definition and theoretical substantiation of the leading methodological approaches, which realization in educational process of establishments of higher pedagogical education will promote achievement of the stated purpose. Among the outlined methodological approaches, the authors define the most important as studies have shown, they are acmeological, culturological and competence approaches. The competence approach helped to increase the professional competence of future teachers of art history. The acmeological approach allowed us to outline new plans and tasks, more complex than the previous ones. The culturological approach allowed outlining the main tasks of professional training of future teachers of art history. Their use should be done due to a number of factors defined by the authors according to every approach.

Proof Of Principle

The application of force in surgical settings is typically accomplished via physical tethers to the surgical tool. While physical tethers are common and critical, some internal surgical procedures may benefit from a tetherless operation of needles, possibly reducing the number of ports in the patient or the amount of tissue damage caused by tools used to manipulate needles. Magnetic field gradients can dynamically apply kinetic forces to magnetizable objects free of such tethers, possibly enabling ultra-minimally invasive robotic surgical procedures. We demonstrate the untethered manipulation of a suture needle in vitro, exemplified by steering through narrow holes, as well as needle penetration through excised rat and human tissues. We present proof of principle manipulations for the fully untethered control of a minimally modified, standard stainless steel surgical suture needle.
