The article analyses the features of modern picture books (wimmelbooks, storybooks, sketchbooks, etc.). An integrated approach to working with a children picture book is demonstrated in order to develop the communicative competence of a senior preschool child, which takes into account two vectors (psychological and speech) and is based on the system of work on creating an independent story by a senior preschool child and includes three types of classes: comprehending the content of the picture book; creating a story based on the plot of the book (based on the model of the educator); creating a story based on the illustrative material of the picture book. A modified methodology for teaching the perception and comprehension of the material of the picture book by children is proposed, which assumes the presence of two structural parts in each of the three types of activities: encouraging children in perception, examining illustrations by children and teaching the story based on the illustration content. It is indicated that the effectiveness of the second part of the lesson is directly proportional to the effectiveness of the first. The article discusses the formation of the dialogical component of communicative competence, which is based on the ability to put questions correctly. The types of question systems are considered: Bloom’s Taxonomy Questions, Quintilian questions, “reflexive questions”, Larry King’s Soft Questions. A lesson with the use of picture books should begin with the formation of thematic book sets by the teacher, considering illustrations and the teacher’s emotional story. It has been proved that a picture book is an effective means of the the development of a preschool child’d desire to communicate, and the age period of preschool childhood is sensitive for the development of communicative competence

The article presents the characteristic of communicative-speech development of a child in the unity of behavioural, cognitive, and creative qualities of speech. An integrated approach to assessing the state of personality activity and the child’s self-realization through the genesis of speech has been implemented. Criterion estimations, diagnostic examination of the level of speech development of the child from the position of the communicative direction, the authors’ method of examination in the unity of emotional-volitional, cognitive, and creative qualities of speech are presented in this work. The basic foundations of the communicative-speech development of the child in the interrelation of the components of the characteristics of the conative, cognitive-linguistic, personal levels are analyzed, the age peculiarities in the development of competence of the child in the sphere of speech communication are generalized. Conative achievements of the junior preschool child provide the formation of such personality traits as a communicative orientation to the surrounding world, openness to the experience of adults and peers, which lead to an increase in the cognitive complexity of speech behaviour of children of middle preschool age. The cognitive-linguistic level of the child’s achievements is associated with the assimilation of the relations between «man-situation» and the relations «linguistic form-significance». The language becomes the object of manipulation and awareness. The formation of various forms of speech expressions, adequate to the situation and partner environment, provides the child with the realization of the needs of communication, the further development and complexity of cognitive forms of interaction, the development of ways and processes of thinking and creativity in speech communication.

Purpose – In order to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it is essential that all industry sectors have the appropriate knowledge and tools to contribute. This includes agriculture, which is considered to contribute about a third of emissions globally. This paper reports on one such tool: IMPACCT: Integrated Management oPtions for Agricultural Climate Change miTigation. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – IMPACCT focuses on GHGs, carbon sequestration and associated mitigation options. However, it also attempts to include information on economic and other environmental impacts in order to provide a more holistic perspective. The model identifies mitigation options, likely economic impacts and any synergies and trade-offs with other environmental objectives. The model has been applied on 22 case study farms in seven Member States. Findings – The tool presents some useful concepts for developing carbon calculators in the future. It has highlighted that calculators need to evolve from simply calculating emissions to identifying cost-effective and integrated emissions reduction options. Practical implications – IMPACCT has potential to become an effective means of provided targeted guidance, as part of a broader knowledge transfer programme based on an integrated suite of guidance, tools and advice delivered via different media. Originality/value – IMPACCT is a new model that demonstrates how to take a more integrated approach to mitigating GHGs on farms across Europe. It is a holistic carbon calculator that presents mitigation options in the context other environmental and economic objectives in the search for more sustainable methods of food production.

The increasing world population generates huge amounts of wastewater as well as large energy demand. Additionally, fossil fuel’s combustion for energy production causes the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) and other pollutants. Therefore, there is a strong need to find alternative green approaches for wastewater treatment and energy production. Microalgae biorefineries could represent an effective strategy to mitigate the above problems. Microalgae biorefineries are a sustainable alternative to conventional wastewater treatment processes, as they potentially allow wastewater to be treated at lower costs and with lower energy consumption. Furthermore, they provide an effective means to recover valuable compounds for biofuel production or other applications. This review focuses on the current scenario and future prospects of microalgae biorefineries aimed at combining wastewater treatment with biofuel production. First, the different microalgal cultivation systems are examined, and their main characteristics and limitations are discussed. Then, the technologies available for converting the biomass produced during wastewater treatment into biofuel are critically analyzed. Finally, current challenges and research directions for biofuel production and wastewater treatment through this approach are outlined.

Changes in the political, social and economic spheres of modern Kazakhstan society dictate the need to increase attention to the socialization of preschool children in the family and preschool organizations. The integrity of the pedagogical process is understood as the integrity of the processes of socialization and individualization of the preschool child, preservation of the child's nature and its development in culture, enrichment of individual cultural experience in the process of inclusion in the socio-cultural experience, unity of development and education. The modern pedagogical process is designed as a system of conditions that allow each child to realize individual needs and at the same time interact with the children's community. The organization of children's activities initiates the creation of children's associations in which each child performs a favorite function and simultaneously cooperates with other children. In such an educational space, the processes of socialization and individualization leading to preschool age harmoniously complement each other.

The article is devoted to the study of emotional development in preschool age children with violations of speech development, and its relationship with emotional intelligence of the mother, the emotional interaction between mother and child, implemented a style of emotional upbringing. Topicality of the work is determined by the increasing number of children with speech pathology and, accordingly, the increasing acuteness of issues affecting their social adaptation and the formation of readiness for school. Two abnormal groups and two normative groups participated in the study. Abnormal groups included 35 pairs of "primary preschool child – mother" and 54 pairs of "middle preschool child – mother". All children of pathological groups had a verified diagnosis of mental retardation (delay of psychological and speech development). Similarly, normative groups were formed by age ranges, the first of which included 32 "child-mother" pairs, the second – 36 "child-mother" pairs. Normative group was formed of preschoolers of kindergartens of the city of Vladimir who had normative development. As a result of the research, it was found that the emotional development of children with speech pathology has distinctive features in comparison with normatively developing children. Mothers of preschool children with speech pathology differ in the level of development of components of emotional intelligence, they have characteristic features in emotional interaction with children in comparison with mothers who raise normatively developing children. There are connections between the level of development of emotional intelligence of the mother, the features of emotional interaction and the development of the emotional sphere of preschool children with speech pathology.

The development of speech must be seen not only in the linguistic aspect (such as mastering the phonetic, lexical and grammatical habits of the child), but also in the area of communication skills (forming the child's skills to interact with peers and adults) that are important not only for the culture of speech, but also for the culture of communication. Communicative competence in pre-school age is therefore seen as the ability of children not only to form separate phrases but also to choose those that best reflect the necessary concrete behavior in individual speech situations and speech interaction because language as a means of communication it only makes sense in a given context. Namely the relationship between communication and socialization could lead to the formation of children of so-called soft skills. The child's ability to understand a specific speech situation in which he / she is placed allows him / her to actively master the language. In order to structure its narrative and select the correct means of expression, the child is placed in an imaginary speech situation, which largely directs his speech in the service of the specific communicative task and forms the basis of communicative competence. At preschool age, it covers the social context of language competency, that is, everything related to the situation in which the child communicates through language and by all means. The development of the communicative side of the creative storyteling at preschool age requires the development of such a system of speech tasks that stimulates both the creative imagination and the fulfillment of the communicative task set forth in the narrative process. This article focuses on the communicative side of verbal creativity by analyzing the ability of children to organize their own speech in accordance with a specific communicative purpose. It provides a tool for assessing the communicative focus of creative stories by analyzing the correspondence of the produced text with the theme, the preferred speech genre and the speech means that children use in their narrative.

The article reveals the peculiarities of formation of students’ communicative competence in the professional training process, which involves the formation of their communicatively meaningful personality traits, a pronounced humanistic tendency to communicate with pupils, the possession of a system of integrated professional- speech skills and communicative qualities. The author defines the essence of the concept of «communicative competence of students» as a process and the result of professional training on the ability to subject-subjective interaction with colleagues of preschool age, which contains a complex of communication knowledge, skills and abilities. The benefit of the study is that a great attention is focused on creating the favorable conditions for the implementation of interpersonal communication in future professional activities. The author of the article has made a conclusion that the analysis of scientific literature gives grounds to assert that the formation of students’ communicative competence is understood by us as a process and the result of professional training on the ability to subject-subject interaction with colleagues and children of preschool age, which contains a complex of communication knowledge, skills and abilities. The author has also identified the components of the structure of the communicative competence formation, which include: motivational-cognitive (comprehension of the multifaceted personality, understanding of its desires; requirement and motives; positive attitude towards colleagues; feeling of community with the team); content (knowledge of norms and rules of communication and interaction, knowledge of ways to resolve conflicts); reflexive (effective use of communicative knowledge, skills and abilities that regulate the communication process, ability to collaborate in joint activities and communication with colleagues, use of constructive ways of resolving conflicts). The author of the article believes that the determining the essence and components of the formation of students’ communicative competence will provide an opportunity to substantiate and develop the technology of forming the communicative competence of students in the process of professional training and its implementation in the educational process of H. S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University.

Abstract Translating picture books is a many-splendored thing: it includes not only the relationship between the verbal and the visual (images and other elements) but also issues like reading aloud and child images. In the following, while mainly concentrating on the visual, I will deal with the other questions as well, as they all interact and influence each other. My starting point is translating as rewriting for target-language audiences – we always need to ask the crucial question: “For whom?” Hence, while writing children’s books is writing for children, translating children’s literature is translating for children. (See Hunt 1990:1, 60-64 and Oittinen 2000.) The reasons why I take such a special interest in translating picture books are twofold: cultural and national as well as individual. In Finland, we translate a lot: 70-80% of all the books published for children annually are translations. From the perspective of picture books, the number may be even higher (and 90% of the translations come from the English language; see Rättyä 2002:18-23). Moreover, being an artist and translator of picture books makes me especially keen on the visual as a translation scholar as well. As a case study, I have chosen Maurice Sendak’s classical picture book Where the Wild Things Are and its translations into German, Swedish and Finnish. At the background of my article is my book Translating for Children (2000) as well as my forthcoming book Kuvakirja kääntäjän kädessä on translating picture books. Due to copyright reasons, I only have picture examples from illustrations of my own.

In the conditions of increasing anthropogenic pressure on the environment, the issues of developing and applying effective means and methods for preventing the admission and cumulation of xenobiotics in the organism of animals and the products obtained become of high importance. At the same time, it is necessary to solve such issues as deficiencies of micro and macro elements in soils, feed and the body, the effect of oxidative stress, immune deficiency and other problems that are closely interrelated with the effect of ecotoxicants on the body. The solution of practical problems of preserving animal health and producing safe products in ecologically unfavorable regions consists in the development of an integrated livestock breeding system, which allows minimizing the migration of a particular ecotoxicant in the trophic chain soil-feed-animal-production and compensating for negative processes developing in the body of animals as a result of exposure of harmful environmental factors, mineral and vitamin deficiencies and imbalances in rations, chronic effects of stress factors, immunodeficiency, etc. The article presents a set of measures to ensure the production of safe products in the conduct of animal husbandry in regions with high anthropogenic load, the main attention is paid to the development of compositions of sorption-detoxifying agents and private technologies of their application
