  Abstract
  The research provides an analysis of students' mathematical, reading and scientific literacy. PISA data are the basis of the study. Correlations and regression models are used in the research. The paper presents models for each type of literacy for all students, separating female and male students. It shows that gender-based educational models are quite common for mathematical, reading, and scientific literacy. There are typical models for female and male students that diverge from each other. For female and male students, the same factors produce quite different effects. For male students, family socioeconomic status is very important; they especially need mothers' time and care. Female students depend on family socioeconomic status and mothers' support less; they need their fathers' example of proper socioeconomic behavior. Female students need their mother's attention, time, care, and support, most of all for improving their scientific literacy. Moreover, school factors are not very important for students' mathematical, reading and scientific literacy improvement, especially, in comparison with family ones. The basic level of mathematical knowledge in the model is not lower for female students than for male ones. It is even a bit higher. Thus, the basic level of mathematical literacy is not determined by sex. Whereas the reading literacy basic level of male students' knowledge is significantly lower than female ones.

  Keywords: Adaptive reuse; Visual comfort; Indoor lighting; Visual discomfort; Room light level; UNESCO World Heritage Site; Occupants' satisfaction.

  Abstract
  This paper studies the visual comfort of five heritage office buildings that have been adaptively reused. These buildings are located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site in George Town, Penang. The changes applied to the interior space have created a problematic condition for the occupants' visual comfort. A set of questionnaires focusing on visual comfort and lighting quality was distributed to the respondents of the studied buildings, followed by the building observation and indoor light level measurements. The findings revealed that the indoor light level is below the standard for the working spaces. This resulted in the visual discomfort for the workers, such as glare. The view of nature also very limited due to the permanently blocked doors and windows from the existing buildings. This study shows that inappropriate adaptive reuse practice is significantly affecting the occupants' visual comfort satisfaction of the studied buildings, therefore it decreases the working performance as well as their productivity.

  Keywords: Physical environment; Contextual appropriate; Preschool education; Child development; Preschool quality; Learning culture; Child-centered pedagogy.

  Abstract
  With a physical environment capable of inhibiting or enhancing participation in learning, one way to improve preschool quality is through its physical environment. However, as a universal standard may lead to ill-informed policy decision and allocation of funds (UNESCO,2006), to ensure physical environment recommendations are contextually appropriate, understanding the influences of pedagogy in the National Preschool Curriculum Standard (NPCS), requirements for the preschool establishment and existing learning culture are imperative. This paper investigates contextual appropriateness of preschools in Malaysia reflecting on learning culture, relevant policies and physical environment. The case study approach using qualitative analysis was employed to uncover learning cultures of four for?profit preschools. Insights on pedagogy and guidelines for establishing preschools were obtained through secondary data analysis. Findings indicated that learning culture in preschools differed from child-centred approaches espoused in NPCS while preschool establishment guidelines do not provide adequate strategies for developing physical environment reflective of pedagogies advocated in NPCS.

  Abstract
  In a volatile economic environment, a special calculation is necessary for developing mathematical models of the examined processes and the phenomena for which there was a typical use of a sample statistical population of small size. In similar circumstances the following tasks are objectively updated: 1) what means (methods) we should use and how it is necessary to operate with limited size of the examined statistical population; 2) in what degree results of the available homogeneous data of the examined sample population (SP) can be extended for their statistical and probabilistic generalization in the form of the parent population (PP). As the main mathematical model, we offer to apply the production functions (PF) model which various elements are investigated previously within the component analysis and the corresponding tests.

  Abstract
  There are very different estimations of the Russian 1993 political crisis and international science. Russian scientific evaluations of this crisis have changed substantially since 1993. The aim of this paper is to examine the interdependence between the estimation of the Russian 1993 political crisis and the level of democracy. For this purpose, the authors assigned Russian scientific papers into four separate categories: positive, neutral, negative, and extremely negative. The number of the articles in each category was compared with the democracy index for the same time period, and analyzed the results. The percentage of neutral scientific papers was positively correlated with all of the different characteristics of the democracy index, but not with the rank. The reduction of the democracy liberties in Russia was positively correlated with the percentage of negative and extremely negative articles. Political management opportunities are interconnected with stabilization of democracy liberties.

  Abstract
  The paper substantiates the need to assess the solvency of an enterprise not in the past, but in the future. The authors substantiate the limited applicability of solvency ratios proposed by other scientists and specialists, as well as the usability of those indicators for future periods. The authors' conclusions are based on the results of studying by them the possibilities of ratio analysis to assess the solvency margin of an economic entity. The paper discloses an approach to building a model for assessing the solvency of a company in a future period; this approach is based on a comparison of predicted cash flows. The authors adhere to the approach based only on cash flows (monetary approach) to assess the solvency of a company in the future. To build cash flows, it is proposed to apply the schemes for the transformation of receivables and payables into cash, taking into account the periods of deferrals provided by the agreements and the risks of default by debtors. The authors have compiled a list of factors that influence the formation of cash flows. The paper presents the procedure for constructing a model for assessing solvency, taking into account factors that influence it. The authors also proposed a model for the conversion of receivables and payables into cash through a deferral indicator. The paper demonstrates the possibility of using the predictive solvency model by both internal and external stakeholders.

  Abstract
  Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are one of the most important facets of modern education. They appeared in 2008 and are still developing. The article is dedicated to understanding the MOOCs learning paradigm, its development, and realization in the new product - MOOC degrees. MOOC degrees are full Bachelor's, Master's, or MBA programs provided by platforms such as Coursera, edX, and others. These degrees are cheaper in comparison with other online education programs by separate universities and with traditional programs. MOOC degrees are based on principles of previous courses, including auto-grading, flexibility, fully online format, and topicality. The vast majority of current programs are in the spheres of business, computer science, engineering, and data science. There is a lack of humanities and social science degrees. However, this direction of education has been implemented just recently. In the future, the number of such programs will increase and become more varied. MOOC degrees are based on the MOOC paradigm and inherit its pros and cons, but completion rates should be significantly higher. These programs can substitute online degrees by many universities and be useful, but not very affordable for students from lower-income countries. The overall quality of universities provided MOOC degrees, currently is lower than MOOCs founder members.

  Abstract
  Under modern conditions, especially under conditions of unfavorable ecological load, intensive development of swine rearing has a negative effect on animals' adaptive abilities. Adaptive resources of organisms of productive animals determine some measures taken regarding various factors, including technogenesis. Thus, the necessity of the research on the correction of oxidative stress of productive animals is becoming essential. In order to balance the process of lipid peroxidation when feeding pigs, a multi-component complex of organic nature was used. The content of malondialdehyde in blood serum and the content of amino acids in longissimus was determined. In organisms of pigs, at the cellular and tissue levels, the accumulation of toxic products of lipid peroxidation and the complete absence or low level of positive dynamics in decreasing the level of the oxidative load was stated. Under the conditions of oxidative stress, there were changes in organisms of pigs regarding the composition of amino acids.

  Abstract
  The article considers the introduction of an indigenous approach to the learning process, with a focus on the concept of indigenity and the indigenous approach. The authors defined the indigenous approach as a methodological basis for the stable development of creative ethnocultural values in the general education of indigenous peoples of the North. The study goal was to create a model of primary general education in the Arctic region based on the indigenous approach that adapts child's personality to the extreme lifestyle and traditional culture of indigenous peoples of the North. With a scientific and theoretical substantiation of ethnocultural and ethno-pedagogical issues related to the preservation and development of original national culture of the indigenous tribes of the North within this approach, this implies creating ways for adapting a child to the seasonal climate cycle and developing his personality as a representative of the people of the North. The authors classified the basic concepts and categories of the indigenous approach from a scientific and pedagogical perspective. The core proposed concept uses training methods deeply rooted in folk pedagogy, as implemented in the Regional Model of Indigenous Education of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The model aimed at the development of a person who is aware of himself as a Russian citizen, a carrier of the unique culture of his people, and who is brought up with ethnocultural educational technologies. The educational content within this model enables the younger generation to creatively master their ethnocultural values (language, literature, history, culture and spiritual heritage): traditional culture is integrated into modern educational systems, ideas, and technologies, developing educational environment and ensuring the unity and interconnection of educational institutions, family and society. This allows forming the integral of the educational ethnocultural environment in the region.

  Abstract
  Nowadays one of the most burning issues in manufacturing of highquality hog products is reduction of biological value of meat. The reasons for that are low quality of feed stuff, huddling, limited activity of animals, and contamination of the feed stuff with xenobiotics of technogenic nature. All the factors result in development of animals’ stress that firstly triggers activation of free-radical process. Thus, the research on correction of oxidative stress of animals is considered to be essential. To eliminate negative effect of lipid peroxidation among fattening pigs, biologically active complex of antioxidant defence, including vitaminmineral, oily and plant components, was used. Content of malondialdehyde in blood serum and content of amino acids in longissimus was determined. The use of biologically active complex of antioxidant defence in diet of the experimental pigs made it possible to reduce negative influence of LP metabolites on organism. Besides, in the experimental group the number of animals with the meat parameters of biological value close to the expected level according to genetic potential, increased.

  Abstract
  This study is to determine and measure the effectiveness of the urban design elements at Bayan Baru Township, Penang through mental mapping. The study is conducted based on observation and interview. Mental mapping is used to identify the urban design elements, and information from the interview is used to understand the place making by the local residents. The findings show that the township is mainly gridded with paths as the main urban element based on Colonial divide and rule concept. In contrast, the idea of 'Garden City' is expressed through the organisation of buildings with nodes and landmarks on mostly every districts. Study shows that the five urban design elements has been integrated successfully in the planning of the township. Path is the most dominant urban element in gridding the districts, while nodes and landmarks complement each other well in the planning. Edges do not play an important role as it is mainly identified as transportation edges expressed by paths. Nevertheless, the combination of urban design elements are considered successful in highlighting the image of Bayan Baru township in Penang.
