COMPETENCY-BASED APPROACH IN HIGHER EDUCATION: COMPETENCY-BASED MODEL OF THE ENGINEER FOR THE FOOD INDUSTRY
Full text linkThe competency-based approach in higher education is considered, and in particular, scientific views on the competencies of an engineer for the food industry are studied. A comparative analysis was carried out in order to identify the key competencies necessary for a modern specialist to successfully realize its creative potential in a market economy, information society and innovative technologies. A developed competency-based model for training an engineer in the food industry is proposed.
The object of research is the competency-based approach in the preparation of a food process engineer.
Investigated problem is that engineering education should not only prepare a specialist endowed with knowledge and skills. It should be aimed at creating a competitive specialist and a successful personality. At present, in Ukraine, the food industry does not have a competency system that is common for employers, specialists, and higher education institutions. This study aims to create such a framework in the form of a competence model of an engineer for the food industry.
Main scientific results: the necessary components of the competent model of a modern engineer for the food industry were identified. The essence of the competency-based approach to the professional training of an engineer in the context of modernization of education is revealed. The modern scientific view of the requirements for food engineers is analyzed. The results obtained are adapted to the needs prevailing in the food industry and the field of public catering.
Field of practical use of research results: a comparative analysis allows to systematize scientific views on the desired competencies of scientists, researchers and engineers in the food industry. Which, in turn, will help to better inform students about the sought-after qualities and make a decision on revising the curriculum in the future.
Innovative technological product: developed competency-based model of an engineer for the food industry.
Scope of the innovative technological product: application of the competency-based approach in higher education using the proposed competency-based model of an engineer for the food industry
ASSOCIATION BETWEEN VITAMIN D-BINDING PROTEIN (VDBP) GENE POLYMORPHISM AND VITAMIN D STATUS IN YOUNG CHILDREN
Full text linkObject of the research: VDBP gene polymorphism.
Problem being addressed: the effect of existing polymorphic variants of the VDBP gene on the absorption of vitamin D in young children.
The main scientific results. At the beginning of the survey, vitamin D supplementation was performed in 50.0±9.1 % (15/30) of children. The concentration of 25 (OH) D in the serum of the subjects was 32.9 ng/ml (23.2–60.0). All patients with the GG rs 7041 genotype of the VDBP gene had a concentration of 25 (OH) D in the range of 20-100 ng/ml, which is statistically more common than in children with the AA rs 4588 genotype (p=0.015), GT rs 7041 genotype (p=0.047) and genotype TT rs 7041 (p=0.033). Patients with CA rs 4588 genotypes – 23.7 ng/ml (14.8-35.8) and GT rs 7041 – 28.1 ng/ml (17.1–49) had the lowest serum levels of 25 (OH) D, the highest levels of 25 (OH) D – children with genotype AA rs 4588 – 122.6 ng/ml (23.2–124.1) and genotype TT rs 7041 – 78.6 ng/ml (23.2 –124.1). Carriers of the AA rs 4588 genotype were more likely than patients with the GG rs 7041 genotype to show dangerously high levels of 25 (OH) D (p=0.069). Patients with the AA rs 4588 genotype had lower alkaline phosphatase levels compared to the GT rs 7041 and CC rs 4588 genotypes – 185.0 U/l (147.0–212.0) versus 259.5 U/l (207.0–334.5), p=0.021 and against 251.0 U/l (222.0–346.0), p=0.016.
Area of practical application of research results: The results of the study can be used by working groups to make recommendations for the prevention and treatment of vitamin D deficiency and in the practice of health care facilities.
Innovative technological product: association between allelic variants of the VDBP gene and vitamin D status in young children.
Scope of application of innovative technological product: pediatrics, medical genetics.
Conclusions. Genetic variants of VDBP may affect the absorption of vitamin D and cause variability in 25 (OH) D levels, which complicates the development of uniform recommendations for optimal prophylactic doses of vitamin D and necessitates additional research. The highest levels of 25 (OH) D were recorded in children with genotypes AA rs 4588 and TT rs 7041 of the VDBP gene, which showed high absorption when taking vitamin D supplements at a dose of 500 IU and even excessive concentrations of 25 (OH) D with long-term supplementation in higher dose
CHANGES IN SOME PERIPHERAL BLOOD IMMUNE PARAMETERS OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS AMONG SERVICEMEN OF THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE
Full text linkThe object of research: the state of chronic periodontitis among servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine remains extremely urgent. Therefore a group of servicemen with chronic periodontitis and its complications was taken. In addition, a control group of servicemen was used to compare the results.
Investigated problem: in this article, the diagnosis was considered due to the use of immunological studies of peripheral blood of sick servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with chronic periodontitis, as well as its complications. The study of the features of immunological parameters in peripheral blood was performed.
The main scientific results: according to the obtained data, there is a relative suppression of immunity among servicemen with chronic periapical infection compared with servicemen of the control group.
According to our data, the main lymphocyte subpopulation of peripheral blood are CD8 and CD4 / CD8; CD19+(B-lymphocytes) and CD3-HLA+; CD4 and CD4 / CD8, which reflect inflammatory processes in the body. These indicators are closely interrelated.
The area of practical use of the research results: these results of research can be applied to students’ training at stomatology faculties, in stomatology practice, to research into the immunological status of patients with chronic periodontitis and its complications.
Innovative technological product: it is the first time the study of the immunological status of peripheral blood during chronic periapical infections among servicemen has been performed.
Scope of the innovative technological product: this study can be used in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic periodontitis in dental practice, as well as in the research to compare the results of the immunological state of peripheral blood
SYSTEM ANALYSIS OF PREVENTION OF MAN-MADE EMERGENCY SITUATIONS IN CONSEQUENCE OF FIRE IN THE PREMISES OF THE OBJECT
Full text linkA systematic analysis of the occurrence of man-made emergencies due to a fire at the facilities is performed. It is established that in the event of fires, the gaseous medium in the premises of the facility serves as a means of transmitting hazardous effects to the facility. The object of influence may be maintenance personnel, technological equipment, units, the design of the room or the object itself. In this case, the state of the object of influence can be characterized by a certain scalar parameter, which in the general case represents the amount of loss (damage or risk) caused to the object by the influence of the danger object. It is shown that the scalar parameter is a certain functional of the states of the hazard object and the gas environment, characterizing the degree of emergency, numerically equal to the amount of losses caused to the object of exposure by the hazard object in the room. The possibility of preventing a man-made emergency due to a fire based on monitoring the parameters of the state of the gas environment in the premises of the facility is substantiated. It is noted that in real conditions there is no information about the indicated disturbances and the state of the hazard object. This is the main difficulty in reliably preventing a man-made emergency due to a fire in the premises of the facility. An experimental verification of the dynamics of the parameters of the state of the gaseous medium in the premises of an object during the combustion of alcohol, paper, wood and fabric in a model chamber is performed. The obtained data indicate that the real dynamics of the temperature, smoke, and CO content of the gaseous medium in the chamber upon ignition of the tested materials is not deterministic, but is clearly unsteady and non-linear with obvious signs of an unsteady trend and random disturbances. It is established that the nature of the random dynamics of the states of the gaseous medium at the time of ignition of materials changes dramatically. Moreover, these changes are of an unequal nature, depending on the type of combustible material. The obtained results indicate the possibility of preventing a man-made emergency due to a fire by means of operational monitoring of the parameters of the gas environment in the premises of the facility
