The problem and the aim of the study. The use of innovative technologies for the development of basic personal qualities and supra-subject competencies is a priority direction for the development of the international educational environment. Web-quest is one of the applications of the gamification technology in didactics. The authors suggest that when designing a web-quest, special attention should be paid to working with the formulation of the web-quest plot as an important factor in the formation of universal competencies of undergraduates. Research methods. To determine the sequence of training actions in the development of the plot, the principles of designing the game environment of the quest, the measurement procedures, the system-activity and competence approaches were used. The experiment involved 20 students of Vyatka State University (50% boys and 50% girls) in the specialty 44.04.01 Teacher education. Informatization of education (Master's degree level). Triggers, macros, and hyperlinks are used to implement transitions. The web quest is hosted on the OneDrive. Statistical methods: G-sign test, multiple correlation analysis. Results. During the experiment undergraduates learned to identify and design the elements of the plot; to arrange events in a chronological order of presentation; to establish a logical connection between the facts; to transform the plot into a storyline and back. The empirical value of Gemp=2<Gcr=3 (for p=0.01) obtained in the estimation procedure proves that the changes in the system are not random. The coefficient (0<R1,2,3...N=0.86<1) is calculated, confirming the positive correlation of universal competencies with undergraduates performance. The evaluation of its statistical significance was done (Femp0.01=14.47>Fcrit0.01=5.29). In conclusion we summarize the problems connected with the development on the plot of the web-quest (presentation of facts in chronological order, author's detachment, etc.) and offer recommendations for their resolution: graphic and verbal visualization, numbering of events, the use of well-known literary plots.

This study analyzed a group of 20 patients undergoing duckbill vocal restoration at Ohio State University to determine if certain variables could predict success. Of the 20 patients, 19 developed successful speech. The 10 variables studied were age, alcohol use, living environment, stoma size, hearing acuity, educational level, work status, eye-hand coordination, concomitant medical problems, and current mode of communication. A multiple correlation analysis of this data was undertaken and alcohol abuse and stoma size were found to have the highest correlation with developing successful duckbill speech. A formula based on these two variables has been derived that will predict the patient's success. It is the conclusion of this study that since patients are not uniformly successful in developing duckbill speech such a formula is of value in predicting success and should help the clinician identify patients who may have difficulties.

Objectives The objective of this study was to investigate the association of four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the cannabinoid receptor 2 (CNR2) gene, gene-obesity interaction, and haplotype combination with osteoporosis (OP) susceptibility. Methods Chinese patients with OP were recruited between March 2011 and December 2015 from our hospital. In this study, a total of 1267 post-menopausal female patients (631 OP patients and 636 control patients) were selected. The mean age of all subjects was 69.2 years (sd 15.8). A generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) model and logistic regression model were used to examine the interaction between SNP and obesity on OP. For OP patient-control haplotype analyses, the SHEsis online haplotype analysis software ( http://analysis.bio-x.cn/ ) was employed. Results The logistic regression model revealed that the C allele of rs2501431 and the G allele of rs3003336 were associated with increased OP risk, compared with those with wild genotype. However, no significant correlations were found when analyzing the association of rs4237 and rs2229579 with OP risk. The GMDR analysis suggested that the interaction model composed of two factors, rs3003336 and abdominal obesity (AO), was the best model with statistical significance (p-value from sign test (Psign) = 0.012), indicating a potential gene-environment interaction between rs3003336 and AO. Overall, the two-locus models had a cross-validation consistency of 10/10 and had a testing accuracy of 0.641. Abdominally obese subjects with the AG or GG genotype have the highest OP risk, compared with subjects with the AA genotype and normal waist circumference (WC) (odds ratio (OR) 2.23, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.54 to 3.51). Haplotype analysis also indicated that the haplotype containing the rs3003336-G and rs2501431-C alleles was associated with a statistically increased OP risk. Conclusion Our results suggested that the C allele of rs2501431 and the G allele of rs3003336 of the CNR2 gene, interaction between rs3003336 and AO, and the haplotype containing the rs3003336-G and rs2501431-C alleles were all associated with increased OP risk.

It has been established that despite significant obstacles and stereotypes regarding the introduction of STEAM education in Ukraine, this process is inevitable, as leading Ukrainian educators claim that the previous Soviet concept of education is utopian and ineffective. It is determined that if Ukraine aspires to become a leading European state, then changing the education system is the main factor of success. It is stated that in the conditions of transition to the New modernized Ukrainian school the introduction of STEM education remains the most priority direction of the educational system of Ukraine. It is determined that due to the consolidation of efforts the introduction of STEAM education is becoming one of the real goals of the New Ukrainian School. Only in the last few years, the legal framework for the implementation of STEAM in Ukraine has been created, the Web-STEAM-school is working, the collection of materials "STEM-week" is published, scientific conferences are systematically held, a virtual STEM-center is opened, which is a huge step forward.

Although searching for information in an electronic environment is generally seen as an efficient and easy process, accessing the desired information within the breadth of data available on the web can be a complex and difficult process. For students preparing for a life at sea, it is important to establish and determine the appropriate strategies for accessing and interpreting information on the web, as their ability to perform such tasks quickly and effectively is vital for their success in this particular sector. In this study, the information searching and commitment strategies of students studying in the maritime faculty of a Turkish state university in the 2018-2019 academic year were examined. The study determined that students generally use advanced searching strategies, explicit components instead of more implicit components, and simple searching strategies instead of advanced searching strategies. Further, students in the department of Marine Transportation used more varied searching strategies on the web than those in the department of Marine Management. Possessing higher levels of computer skills was found to be more significant than computer or smart phone usage times in determining more advanced searching strategies. The results highlight the importance of educating students in order to gain awareness of how to organize information and identify appropriate content alongside teaching them how to access and use the information and scientific data they are looking for.

Abstract A basic question in forecasting is whether one prediction system is more skillful than another. Some commonly used statistical significance tests cannot answer this question correctly if the skills are computed on a common period or using a common set of observations, because these tests do not account for correlations between sample skill estimates. Furthermore, the results of these tests are biased toward indicating no difference in skill, a fact that has important consequences for forecast improvement. This paper shows that the magnitude of bias is characterized by a few parameters such as sample size and correlation between forecasts and their errors, which, surprisingly, can be estimated from data. The bias is substantial for typical seasonal forecasts, implying that familiar tests may wrongly judge that differences in seasonal forecast skill are insignificant. Four tests that are appropriate for assessing differences in skill over a common period are reviewed. These tests are based on the sign test, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, the Morgan–Granger–Newbold test, and a permutation test. These techniques are applied to ENSO hindcasts from the North American Multimodel Ensemble and reveal that the Climate Forecast System, version 2, and the Canadian Climate Model, version 3 (CanCM3), outperform other models in the sense that their squared error is less than that of other single models more frequently. It should be recognized that while certain models may be superior in a certain sense for a particular period and variable, combinations of forecasts are often significantly more skillful than a single model alone. In fact, the multimodel mean significantly outperforms all single models.
