The Amaral Formation has a wide geographic distribution within the Lusitanian Basin, at the western Iberian Margin (Portugal). The different depositional contexts for this unit enabled the distinction of three sectors: lagoon, lagoon-barrier, and marine-distal. The integration of the evolutionary taphonomic analysis of its fossil assemblages with the analysis of multiscale properties through the CAMURES methodology (Multiscale Reservoir Characterization) allowed the application of a methodology for the classification of coquina which was previously developed for the Morro do Chaves Formation (Sergipe–Alagoas Basin, Brazil). Here, it was adapted according to the complexity of the Amaral Formation deposits. The classification of ten taphofacies, in association with four lithofacies, allowed the definition of 84 petrofacies, based on the nature of the sedimentary and taphonomic processes. The relationship between the structural context, the systems tracts, the diversity of the fossil record, the classification of taphofacies and petrofacies, and the understanding of vertical and lateral variations of the sediments’ deposition within the unit support the construction of geological and theoretical models for coquina deposits. These models will allow for prediction of the spatial distribution of facies in other coquina analogous hydrocarbon reservoirs, as well as specifying the delimitation of reservoir zones for 3D geocellular modeling and flow simulation of hydrocarbon-producing reservoirs, thus improving predictive analyses.

The article reviews the definitions of the tutoring concept in preschoolers relationships. Can we qualify the relationships of preschool children in learning situations as tutoring? Or maybe a different name would be more suitable for them? Preschoolers are used to learning in a different way than adults and older children. They prefer learning mimicking or playing. They obtain knowldge occasionally an unintentionally. In turn, definitions of tutoring quite precisely contain formulated fortifications that a little child is not able to meet yet. Immaturity of the nervous system limit the level and length of attention span of little child and relatively small, compared to school children and adults number of social experiences can seriously hamper the classification of situations in which children learn from each other as tutoring. While the generally understood master-student relationship, associated with tutoring, is quite often noticeable during childhood collaboration and play in which one child can do more than the other, the more detailed assumptions of tutoring are not as accessible to the observer. For example, it is difficult to talk about the regularity or planned nature of children's relationships. The definition of tutoring also sets specific expectations regarding the teacher's skills, among which are: high interpersonal competences, commitment to the relationship with the mentee, professionalism and responsibility. From a preschool child who would play the role of a teacher, it is difficult to demand fluent speech, not to mention professionalism and regularity. A preschool child, who just start to learn numbers, is often unable to orient himself in time, which makes it difficult or even impossible to plan and systematize his activities. Little child needs adult help in this area.

Managerial innovations have become the topic of interest for many scholars, but this concept remains underdeveloped and poorly managed among the academy and business community in Russia. This paper offers the composition of approach to definition and classifi cation of managerial innovations, formed on the basis of exploration of the concept “managerial innovation” evolution, and estimation of the relationship with a more general concept “innovation”. The suggested composition of approach is based on the three-stage bibliographic analysis of scientific literature. In course of the bibliographic research, scientific articles were selected according to the key words, period of publication and citation index. 140 scientific publications were identified and collected for the period from 1975 to 2019 covering citation indexes from 0 to 12 476 by Web of Science citation database and from 4 to 2 185 by Scopus database. On the basis of the conducted bibliographic research, the author introduces his definition of innovation and managerial innovation and explains the connection between them. Within the conducted research different approaches to classification of managerial innovations were studied and on their basis a new approach to classification of managerial innovations was proposed. The findings can be useful for different avenues of further research regarding managerial innovations.

This paper determines that cultural tourism in Lithuania is significantly influenced by various different agencies which activities are not sufficiently integrated. The paper also analyses the theoretical models for strategic decision-making and possibilities of alternative strategic decisions in the area of tourism. A classification of strategic plans based on the current Lithuanian strategic planning system and the integration of the activities of separate agencies in the area of tourism is proposed. A new model for strategic decision-making based on the classical definition of strategic hierarchies and the specificities of cultural tourism as a business is then proposed.

The subject offorensic examination as a practical activity is one of the most important categories offorensic examinations theory. The subject offorensic examination is used to classify forensic examinations. The definition of the subject offorensic examinations through the prism of information theory categories is the most productive. Information is a part of the data about the investigated object which is used to solve a particular task. Legal information is used during investigation of crimes. The author proposes a classification of legal information. Information is divided into criminally relevant and neutral, depending on the relationship of the data to the event of the crime. Information is procedural or nonprocedural, depending on the method of receipt in accordance with the procedural law. Information is evidentiary if it presents the content of evidence by itself. Information is orienting when it’s used for organizational or tactical purposes. Information is criminalistic, expert or operative-search, depending on the methods and subjects of its receipt. Information, received by the expert during the investigation, is criminally relevant or neutral, procedural, expert, evidentiary or orienting. The data that are received by an expert, become useful information if they help to resolve issues put to a forensic expert. A special object of forensic examination (information field) is the totality of homogeneous properties of the subsumer. The direct object of an expert research is a part of a special object that is subjected to research during a specific expert study. The subject of forensic examination kind is evidentiary and orienting information that can be obtained at the contemporary stage of forensic examination development by researching a special object that is a part of the object properties offorensic examination kind. The subject ofparticular forensic examination is evidentiary or orienting information, which must be obtained by an investigation of a direct object that is the part of the properties of the particular material carrier submitted for examination.

A firewall is the main classic tool for monitoring and managing the network traffic on a local network. Its task is to compare the network traffic passing through it with the established security rules. These rules, which are often also called security policy, can be defined both before and during the operation of the firewall. Managing the security policy of large corporate networks is a complex task. In order to properly implement it, firewall filtering rules must be written and organized neatly and without errors. In addition, the process of changing or inserting new rules should be performed only after a careful analysis of the relationship between the rules being modified or inserted, as well as the rules that already exist in the security policy. In this article, the authors consider the classification of relations between security policy rules and also give the definition of all sorts of conflicts between them. In addition, the authors present a new efficient algorithm for detecting and resolving collisions in firewall rules by the example of the Floodlight SDN controller.

Media consulting is a rather new and therefore insufficiently researched kind of consulting in the intellectual services market of Ukraine. However, it should be noted that this type of activity is supported by a significant practical basis, which is based on the activities of specialists in this sphere. The theoretical foundation for consulting in general may be that they consider aspects common to all areas of counseling, including media consulting. The urgency of the research is that it proposes a specific definition of media consulting; gives its characteristic features; analyzes the relationship between the concepts of media consulting, PR consulting and communication consulting. The scientific work proposes also a typology of media consulting services in terms of functions and typology of companies that provide such services in range of their activities. The objective of the study is to study the Ukrainian realities and peculiarities of media consulting as a basis for a new direction in the publishing sector. To achieve this goal, a list of such tasks was defined: 1) to specify the concept of media consulting; 2) to create a typology of basic services in the structure of media consulting; 3) to identify the prospects of implementing media consulting services in the structure of publishing activities. A number of methods of scientific knowledge have been used to achieve the goals and objective of the study. Analysis and synthesis were used to reveal the essence of the concept of media consulting. Analysis of the activity of media consulting organizations allowed finding out the specifics of publishing services in the structure of media consulting. The system method allowed to systematize media consulting services and to create a classification of companies that provide such services in range of their activities. The method of forecasting allowed describing the prospects for implementation of media consulting services in the structure of publishing activities

Program classification is an important tool for records and marketing. Accessible, reliable, and internationally comparable data is needed in all aspects of work. And this is not only a matter of program organisation but also a fundamental part of the research of the audience in terms of studying the relationship between the public and the programs. A typology can be created according to the motives and habits, underlying the behavior of the viewer as a buyer with regard to their television preferences. It can be first considered whether the viewer is watching TV carefully or in parallel with other things, constantly changing channels, or watching a selected channel continuously. The demographic approach is formed by derived indicators and estimates, which allows to comprehensively characterize the structure and movement of the population, social, and demographic processes. In the case of studying television audiences, it is more common to deal with indicators of the number of people, gender, age, state of marriage, level of education, profession, social status, income. A TV set, a computer, a tablet, a smartphone - all this is now television. Arranged on the air according to the broadcasting grid, we watch television programs at home; it is called linear viewing. However, we can also request the content we are interested in on any screen at any time, anywhere - this is non-linear viewing. Recently, in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic, even journalists have been broadcasting from home. It used to be just television but nowadays the definition of "big television" has come into use. Television is primarily what it shows - television content that has certain characteristics. The usual division is based on the basic functions of television - informative, entertaining, and educational. However, a lot depends on the idea, thematic focus, genre structure, origin, format, and content. The division is necessary for a greater understanding of what exactly we intend to produce according to the formula: there is an idea, what the manufacturer wants to convey to the audience, after, it is necessary to understand how it can be made and with what content filled directly. This article deals with approaches to the classification of television programs.

Abstract This paper aims at giving an up-to-date picture of compounding in Italian on the basis of most recent literature. First and foremost, we illustrate the basic units of Italian compounds, including semiwords, and we offer an operational definition of compounding that will be adopted throughout the paper. Secondly, we focus on the crucial issue of the demarcation of compounds: several criteria are given to distinguish compounds from derived words, phrases and also phrasal lexemes. Third, we offer a classification of Italian compounds according to two hierarchically ordered criteria – the grammatical relation between the constituents and the presence/absence of the head – and then we illustrate the main formation patterns that give rise to such compounds. Finally, we discuss crucial theoretical issues such as headedness and the relationship between compounding and inflection.

The paper aims at providing theoretical models and data interpretation applied to multiple burials. Challenging the current fuzzy definition of multiple burials in ancient societies, the paper proposes a more accurate classification of multiple burials, with particular reference to ancient Egypt funerary culture, based on two main parameters, which may have influenced the association of bodies: p1) architecture; p2) time span, and three flexible sub-parameters that may be used to customize different scenarios, on occasion: sp1) number of deceased; sp2) age of deceased; sp3) nature of death/deposition. The body has been often considered the real ontological centre of the burial itself with all of the other countable objects intended as radiating projections supporting the body-nucleus. The practice of multiple burials disrupts such a perception as it juxtaposes horizontal, multidirectional perspectives: the role of a new body entering among older bodies and objects, and of the multiple bodies and objects themselves. The study of multiple burials, if correctly framed, can lead to insights into different religious, social, and economic reasons behind the mortuary programmes within a society. For instance, sequential multiple burials reinforce the transformation of dead bodies into part of the burial equipment itself, reducing the centrality of the body and disrupting the narrative tied to individual biographies, increasing an ‘artefactual’ perception.
