The main purpose of the study predetermines the main issue of the article: to show the importance of formation of a culture of working with information among students during distance learning, which means the ability to evaluate, perceive information, prevent manipulation, distinguish truth from falsehood. The main task is to assess the existing and desired level of this competence, to develop an organizational model of its formation which consists of the following components: goals and objectives, pedagogical conditions and evaluation criteria. The model was implemented simultaneously at the Drahomanov National Pedagogical University and National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” by teachers of humanities in experimental and control groups (16 people) in three stages: ascertaining, formative and final. A questionnaire and a self-assessment map of the formation of the culture of working with information were developed for the ascertaining stage; purposeful work with students was conducted (special tasks, discussion conversations, discussions) at the formative stage the results before and after the experiment were compared at the final stage in particular. Positive dynamics in the experimental group was noted, the average rate of formation increased. The proposed evaluation criteria – motivational, cognitive and activity ones have demonstrated practical value. It is advisable to recommend their use at other faculties. It is concluded that the organizational model is effective. The prospect of the study is the scientific substantiation of the implementation of the model among a wider range of students and the development of a distance specialized course.

BACKGROUND The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has not only changed the lifestyles of people globally but has also resulted in other challenges, such as the requirement of self-isolation and distance learning. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an inability to go out to exercise and a reduction in movement, so the demand for exercise at home has increased. OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationships between a Nintendo Ring Fit Adventure (RFA) intervention and improvements in running time, cardiac force index (CFI), centimeters per beat (CMPB), sleep quality, and mood disorders. METHODS This was a randomized prospective study. This study included 80 students who were required to complete a 1600-meter outdoor run before and after the intervention, the completion times of which were recorded in seconds. They were also required to fill out a lifestyle questionnaire. During the study, 40 participants (16 males and 24 females, with an average age of 23.75 years) were assigned to the RFA group and were required to exercise for 30 minutes three times per week (in the adventure mode) over four weeks. The exercise intensity was set according to the instructions given by the virtual coach during the first game. The remaining 40 participants (30 males and 10 females, with an average age of 22.65 years) were assigned to the control group and maintained their regular habits during the study period. RESULTS Eighty participants (age: 20–36 years; mean age: 23.20 years, standard deviation [SD] = 2.96) completed the study. This study found that the running time in the RFA group was significantly reduced. After four weeks of physical training, it took females in the RFA group 19.79 seconds (p = .025) and males 22.56 seconds (p = .034) less than the baseline to complete the 1600-meter run. In contrast, there were no significant differences in the performance of the control group in the 1600-meter run before and after the fourth week of intervention. In terms of mood disorder, the RFA group average score increased from 1.81 to 3.31 for males (difference = 1.50, p = .036) and from 3.17 to 4.54 for females (difference = 1.38, p = .062). In addition, no significant differences between the RFA and control groups were observed for CFI peak acceleration (CFIPA)_walk, CMPB_walk, CFIPA_run, CMPB_run, or sleep quality. CONCLUSIONS RFA could either maintain or improve an individual’s physical fitness, thereby providing a good solution for people who are distance learning or those who have not exercised for an extended period.

The article presents the results of an empirical study of self-esteem in socially deprived adolescents with disabilities in a boarding school. The purposes and features of the conducted research are revealed. The experimental base of the study and the number of respondents who took part in it were determined. A set of diagnostic techniques for primary and secondary diagnostics has been selected. The levels of self-assessment, according to which the analysis of the obtained data was carried out, are characterized, namely: overestimated, adequate and underestimated self-assessment. Inflated self-esteem of adolescents was determined by the following indicators: incomprehensibility of actions to obtain the desired result, meeting their own needs; manifestations of irritability, rudeness, stubbornness when dissatisfied with anything, imbalance due to trifles; compensation for dissatisfaction with their own claims through the commission of various violations. Adequate self-esteem of adolescents was characterized by the following indicators: attempts to adhere to socially recognized norms and rules of conduct in any situation; balanced attitude to tasks; willingness to show initiative, express their own opinions, suggestions; bold, calm disclosure of their achievements, calm response to comments, shortcomings and attempts to correct them; search in various information media for answers to questions that interest them; active involvement in the tasks entrusted to them; ability to analyze and evaluate the results of their activities. Underestimated self-esteem of adolescents was determined by the following indicators: feelings of embarrassment among strangers; incommunicability in situations of communication with peers; slow reaction to any situation; lack of activity and initiative; refusal of any activity due to laziness or fear of possible failure; insecurity, which leads to refusal to work from the beginning. The analysis of the obtained average indicators of the levels of self-esteem formation in socially deprived adolescents with limited life in a boarding school before and after the experimental work in the experimental and control groups.

Abstract Implementation of demonstration method in the teaching of chemistry is assigned as the right strategy to improve students’ achievement as it is proved that the method can bring an abstract concept to reality in the class. The study is conducted to vocational high school students in SMKN1 Pargetteng getteng Sengkut Pakfak Barat at accademic year 2013. The teaching has been carried out three cycles on the teaching of chemistry topic of colloid system. In the study, the class is divided into two class, experiment class and control class. The demontration method is used to teach students in experimental class while the teaching in control class is conducted with lecture method. Both are evaluated by using multiple choise tests before and after the teaching procedures, and the ability of students to answer the problems are assigned as students’ achievements. The results showed that demonstration method improved students’ achievement in chemistry. The students in experimental class who are taughed with demonstration method (M=19.08±0.74) have higher achievements compare with control class (M=12.91±2.52), and both are significantly different (tcalculation 22.85 > ttable 1.66). The effectivity of demostration method in experimental class (97%) is found higer compare to conventional method in control class (91%).

The actor/observer effect was examined by Storms in a 1973 study which manipulated perceptual orientation using video recordings. Storms' study was complex and some of his results equivocal. The present study attempted to recreate the perceptual reorientation effect using a simplified experimental design and an initial difference between actors and observers which was the reverse of the original effect. Female undergraduates performed a motor co-ordination task as actors while watched by observers. Each person made attributions for the actor's behaviour before and after watching a video recording of the performance. For a control group the video recording was of an unrelated variety show excerpt. Actors' initial attributions were less situational than observers'. Both actors and observers became more situational after the video replay but this effect occurred in both experimental and control groups. It was suggested the passage of time between first and second recording of attributions could account for the findings and care should be taken when interpreting Storms' (1973) study and others which did not adequately control for temporal effects.

For Iraqi EFL learners who are studying English pronunciation in a traditional instruction method often requires more effort and hard work. Thus, using new methods of teaching such as the flipped classroom model (FCM) is necessary to facilitate learning and improve performance. Hence, this study reports on explanatory research that investigates the effect of using the FCM in the teaching of English pronunciation for Iraqi EFL learners at the university level. The study implemented mixed research methods for data collection in a quasi-experimental analysis. Therefore, two tests were conducted on the assigned groups to measure the effect of the FCM before and after the intervention. Besides, a questionnaire and interviews were used on the experiment group students to collect data about their perceptions of the FCM. The study length (lasted)  was 15 weeks and is comprised of 60 students from the department of English, College of Arts at the University of Anbar. The students were divided into two groups, experimental, and control with 30 students in each group. The findings revealed that there was a significant statistical difference between the two groups in favour of the experimental group with better performance, indicating that the FCM has considerably assisted the Iraqi EFL learners to improve their English pronunciation. Moreover, the students expressed their positive feedback and satisfaction on the use of the FCM in their responses to the questionnaire and the interviews. As such, the current study recommends further research to study the effect of applying the FCM in areas and disciplines other than language learning.

In 1998, the capacity of the BIOSTYR® submerged biofilter at Nyborg WWTP was extended from 48,000 PE to 60,000 PE including advanced sensor based control, post-denitrification in BIOSTYR® and equalization of side flows. The existing configuration with 8 BIOSTYR® DN/N cells is based on pre-denitrification and an internal recirculation of 600–800%. The extended plant comprises 7 BIOSTYR® DN/N cells with 50–225% recirculation followed by 3 BIOSTYR DN cells for post-denitrification. The advanced control loops include blower control, control of the number of active cells (stand-by), automatic switch to high load configuration, control of the side flow equalization, control of the internal recirculation and control of the external carbon source dosing. In this paper, the achieved improvements are documented by comparing influent and effluent data, methanol and energy consumption from comparable periods before and after the extension. Although the nitrogen load to the plant was increased by 20% after the extension, the effluent quality has improved significantly with a reduction of Total-N from 7–8 mg/l to 3–4 mg/l. Simultaneously, the methanol consumption has been reduced by more than 50% per kg removed nitrogen. The energy consumption remained constant although the nitrogen load was increased by 20% and the inflow by 80%.
