This study aims to investigate the effect of enhanced lexical aspect acquisition model on engineering students’ competences development, namely such 21st century skills as communication (written or oral), self-organization, systematic and critical thinking, project development and implementation, team work, application of fundamental knowledge, work with information. The researchers have developed a novel approach to fostering lexical aspect acquisition through multistage model. The participants of the research were first-year engineering students of the mineral specializations in Saint-Petersburg Mining University. Suggested model-based learning process and conventional-based teaching were used in experimental and control groups accordingly during the spring term 2022. The SPSS software was used to interpret the obtained data. The statistical analysis was carried out with the output of Cronbach’s Alpha reliability test and Pearson correlation test with identification of p-value. The findings showed a significant difference between the level of lexical acquisition in the control and experimental groups proving reliability and validity of the current research.
This academic paper is devoted to the issue of how to reduce forest fire damage through affecting the fire causes. Forest fire causes are a subject of random probability. Adequate forest management is not possible when there is lack of precise information about when and where a forest fire may occur. When there are no ways and methods to influence the reasons of forest fires occurrence, the likelihood of a wrong decision is directly proportional to the negative consequences of forest fires. The research purpose was to develop mechanisms of risk management taking into account the cause and effect relation between human activities, natural phenomena and occurrence of forest fire. The risk as economic category is the target of the research. The scope of the research encompasses the process of decision-taking in forest management with regards to forest preservation from fires under the conditions of unpredictability. The research was based on a comprehensive approach to the problem and used contemporary regulations of sustainable forest management and global experience in forestry relationship. It was suggested to classify the causes of forest fires in groups. Probability of forest fires occurrence was estimated in accordance with various causes. There was introduced an approach of forest fire risk management based on strategic risk management. The results of the research can be used by scientific institutions, as well as by forestry companies while planning environmental protection measures. The research can proceed towards assessment and forecasting of fire risks in forestry at the national and international levels.
Цель исследования -определить степень терминологической асимметрии в англоязычной и русскоязычной терминосистеме судостроительной тематики на текстовом уровне. Из составленных автором сопоставимых корпусов специализированных текстов по судостроению извлечены узкоспециализированные термины, произведен подсчет всех терминологических единиц. Научная новизна заключается в установлении степени асимметрии разноязычного поля судостроительной терминологии, выраженной в процентном соотношении. В результате обнаружено, что англоязычные источники насыщены судостроительной терминологией практически в два раза меньше, чем русскоязычные. Кроме того, выявлены элементы терминологической асимметрии, требующие дальнейшего сопоставительного анализа.
