The evolution of a positively charged metallic macroparticle placed into the low-temperature plasma is considered. The influence of the value of the initial macroparticle charge on the dynamics of the electrical potential and temperature of the macroparticle, as well as the possibility of evaporation of a macroparticle due to its interaction with plasma particles are studied. The system of equations of the energy balance and the current balance based on the OML theory, that takes into account the changing of macroparticle potential and its temperature over the time is solved numerically. The solution of the system of equations shows the evolution of the macroparticle potential and temperature within the time interval from the moment when the macroparticle is placed in the plasma until the moment the macroparticle has charged to the floating potential. The positive charge of the macroparticle excludes the thermionic emission and secondary electron emission from the macroparticle surface, as well as the mechanisms of cooling of the macroparticle associated with these emission processes. Analytical expressions that determine the macroparticle potential, the electron current on the macroparticle, as well as the power transferred by plasma electrons in the case when the energy of attraction of electrons to the macroparticle strongly exceeds the energy of thermionic electrons, the energy of secondary electrons and the energy of plasma ions are obtained. A simplified system of equations of the energy balance and the current balance for a positively charged macroparticle is solved; the solution of the simplified equations matches with the solution of the general equations in the region of positive values of the macroparticle potential. Calculations show that during the charging of the macroparticle, its temperature increases up to the boiling point of the macroparticle substance. An equation that determines the conditions under which evaporation of macroparticles is possible has been obtained and solved numerically. The possibility of evaporation of macroparticles of a given size (critical value of the radius) due to initial charging to high positive values of potential is shown. The dependencies of the critical value of the radius on the initial value of the potential for tungsten and copper macroparticles that can be evaporated in a low-temperature plasma are obtained. These solutions bound the region of the parameters where evaporation of a macroparticle is possible and where it is not. The critical values of the potential for copper and tungsten particles with sizes of 0.1 and 1 μm are calculated. The dependence of the radius of a macroparticle on time during the process of vaporization is obtained.

The purpose of the study is to compare at the physiological and functional levels, the effectiveness of speech and music perception among musicians and non-musicians. The study was conducted in 2018 in Ningbo University in Zhejiang Province (China) on 235 students aged 20-21. The results showed that in the experimental group, when perceiving music, symmetrical hemisphere interaction parameters dominate (p ≤ 0.05), in both groups, right-hand parameters dominate in speech perception. The third group showed a difference in the depth of decrease in the amplitude of the alpha rhythm with respect to the resting state (p ≤ 0.03) in the low-frequency range when listening to a fragment of Slavic folklore. The interaction of the cerebral hemispheres determines a high result in the processing of music. The latter manifested itself when listening to Slavic music: the width of the alpha-1 range is wider when listening in comparison with the state of rest.

The paper deals with the theoretical consideration of surface plasmon-polaritons in the graphene monolayer, embedded into dielectric with spatially separated gain and losses. It is demonstrated, that presence of gain and losses in the system leads to the formation of additional mode of graphene surface plasmon-polaritons, which does not have its counterpart in the conservative system. When the gain and losses are mutually balanced, the position of exceptional point-transition point between unbroken and broken PT-symmetrycan be effectively tuned by graphene's doping. In the case of unbalanced gain and losses the spectrum of surface plasmon-polaritons contains spectral singularity, whose frequency is also adjustable through the electrostatic gating of graphene.

The article examines and analyzes the acquisition of digital competence by students studying in medical education institutions in Poland. In order to fulfill the set goal, the analysis and synthesis of search results in information and reference systems was carried out in order to determine the concepts of research, methods of expert evaluation, testing, questionnaires, observation, modeling, forecasting. The process of implementing information processes in the field of health care in Poland is considered against the background of the use of digital technologies in the countries of the European Union in order to ensure the quality of education and accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, which were presented by the United Nations and aimed at achieving a digital future for all. In cooperation with the European Commission in promoting digitalization in education, the Polish government is focused on promoting the development of a highly effective digital education ecosystem and improving digital skills and opportunities for digital transformation to ensure bridging the digital divide in education and strengthening competences. A noticeable change in the development of digital competences of students of medical education institutions in Poland is a greater emphasis on the practical use of both these competences and resources available on the Internet. The development of recommendations of Polish institutions of medical education, specifying the various branches of digital health, terminology, learning objectives, optimal approach to training, duration, evaluation method and structure, was considered. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the importance of digital health in society. Doctors must be properly prepared to work in a new environment, where a greater share of medical care is provided by digital methods, which involves the use of digital technologies, and determines the priority need for future medical workers to acquire the relevant competencies necessary to work with remote consultation models, eHealth systems, processing of medical data.

The article examines the issue of the strategy for the development of digital competence in the national education system of Ukrainian society under the influence of intensive development of ICT and in the context of practical recommendations provided by UNESCO regarding the structure of ICT competence of teachers. It was determined that there is no uniform policy of ICT education transformation in public institutions of Ukraine and there are no ICT standards - competences of participants in the educational process. The conceptual vision of informatization of the national education system of Ukraine is described, in the context of strengthening the role of digital competences and technologies. A comparative analysis of the large-scale informatization of the global education system, which led to the emergence of new methods and forms of education, was carried out. It is emphasized that the national education system of Ukraine is slowly introducing new methods and forms of education, which leads to a decrease in the competitiveness of Ukrainian education in the globalized educational space, and as a result leads to a decrease in the country's competitiveness in socio-economic and scientific and technical progress as a whole.

The article is devoted to the study of the concept of higher medical education institution students’ professional development in the area of professional competencies, on the example of competency-based approach and learning outcomes, the formation of which is facilitated by the discipline «Medical and Biological Physics». The process of forming system of students’ knowledge and competencies in the study of medical and biological disciplines, which include basic physical principles and approaches to the study of processes in wildlife, physical and technical principles of medical devices, the use of mathematical methods in biomedical research, form the basis of subject competences and are an integral part of the professional competence of future physicians in the field of health care, as well as the basis for studying professional-oriented natural sciences and clinical disciplines in higher medical educational institutions of Ukraine. To achieve this goal, research methods such as generalization, comparison, systematization and abstraction were used. The structure of the medical institutions future specialists’ professional competence is substantiated, that contains the relationship with the normative content of training of higher education seekers, in accordance with the requirements of the standard of the discipline being studied. It is established that the detailization of competences according to the discipline curriculum, structures, forms, methods and conditions for realization of the model of the future physicians’ professional competence formation in the process of training in higher education institutions need a further research.

The authors have analysed the experience in training prospective teachers in a number of European countries: the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Denmark. The standards of training, the requirements to the personality of a modern European teacher, the main principles, methods and forms of training prospective teachers as well as the peculiarities of organising and holding teaching internships have been described. A specific feature of teacher training in the UK is the widespread use of searching method, which is a way of democratization and humanization of pedagogical education. The peculiarity of the bachelor teacher training programs in German universities is that they are multivariate, which makes it possible to get a profession that is not related to teaching at school, and specialised, which means that a teacher is trained for a particular type of school. The main trends in teacher training in Germany are: Europeanization, commitment to international initiatives and projects, student mobility, increased role of research activities, and the wide use of modern multimedia technologies. The peculiarity of the Danish teacher training system is the availability of an additional vocational guidance level which can be acquired at higher public schools. The specific feature of training prospective teachers at the universities of France is a wide choice of long-term and short-term study programs and corresponding diplomas. In addition, teachers, like all French education workers, have the status of civil servants. Universities have a flexible schedule of classes, a variety of modules, full-time or part-time study programs, as well as evening courses, in-house and remote training. On the basis of the conducted analysis, the successful experience in professional training of
