The purpose of the paper is to show how technology can be used to make attractive the learning of a foreign language. Social media posts about vocabulary in various foreign languages, for instance, as well as short conversational phrases, could be used to replace the traditional drill types of exercises. Videos that are present could be used to replace the traditional listening exercises. The social media posts could be used as additional material to what is used during class. It is assumed that social media is part of students’ lifestyle, and that learning foreign languages is adapted to modern life.

It is noted in the work that the increase in the efficiency of agricultural production in our time is not possible without reducing energy costs. At the same time, the technical means of mechanization of the tillage process have a high material consumption, which leads to an increase in energy consumption, indicating energy and environmental problems. In an effort to improve the quality of soil preparation, expand the functionality of the unit, reduce energy consumption, simplify design and import substitution, the use of known tillage tools has been studied and analyzed. As a result, on the basis of exploratory research, a modernized tillage unit has been developed. The new elements of which are that a chopper module is mounted behind the disk module, consisting of staggered chopper rollers in two rows. The modernized tillage unit considered in the article, developed on the basis of KubGAU, improves the quality indicators of soil cultivation, on which the effective accumulation and consumption of soil moisture depends, reduces energy consumption by increasing the functionality of the unit.

In Burundi, according to ISTEEBU projections, the area of arable land per household could be around 0.3-0.5 ha over 20-25 years. In modern conditions, the use of large tractors is possible only on the Imbo plain and in the Kumoso basins in the east of the country. At the same time, the practice of polyculture does not contribute to the mechanization of agriculture. Under these conditions, the use of walk-behind tractors will facilitate the work, since instead of machines with passive plow and disk working bodies, it is more rational to use machines with active, rotary working bodies, such as tillage cutters, which are characterized by high quality loosening of the arable layer and soil mixing with fertilizers. However, when working with a walk-behind tractor, the operator is subject to high physical stress and vibration, which affects his health. There is also no fertilization operation.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the way in which Graham Swift’s novel Last Orderswas translated into Romanian. How much can they keep faithful to the original? To what extent is afaithful translation possible, without it sounding odd? Is the result of their work convincing, interms of decoding and communicating the author’s message? Keeping ‘a foreign flavour to it’ isinevitable, as we deal with two different cultures, and is, in fact, according to Wilhelm vonHumboldt, a sign of a good translation, as long as the reader does not feel the ‘foreignness’ butfeels the ‘foreign’.

Alexander Bogdanov’s science fiction novels are built on confrontations of two worlds, when each of them tells something of particular ethos, capacity of apprehending the world and state of knowledge. Political, cultural, and epistemological revolutions in his stories are made of this miwing of worlds. We will see how the author builds with his fiction an enriching framework for considering the challenges of learning and passing of knowledge, first by representing different learning situations and by choosing the learner as his model addressee. His primal didactical ambition, shown by narrative structures typical of philosophical stories, clashes with his empiriomonistic assumption which imposes strong empirical constraints to the transmission of knowledge. Through these thought experiments, he shows the limits of the didactical possibilities of a literary text and of a narrative in general. By doing this, he underlines the didactical and epistemological challenges of science fiction and, at the same time, foretalks the limits of its potential action. He proposes a metapoetic of a literature in which relation to language is always wavering between a scientifical and a literary approach, by suggesting sociolinguistic questions in problems of traductology in his fiction.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse Lemonnier's novel starting from its theme, that of love, and looking at ways in which this theme reminds readers of other novels. The love story is analysed by looking at theories belonging to psychoanalysis, narratology, at the connections between characters and nature, at the relationships between characters, and, in order to understand the context of the age, at the connections between narrative and painting.

The purpose of this paper is to review research regarding the possibilities of using machine translation in order to translate literary texts. Based on previous research, the paper will look at problems that were identified, related to the lexical, structural and pragmatic levels, analysing reasons for these errors. The paper will draw a comparison between machine translation and human translation in terms of cognitive understanding and accuracy of interpretation of literary texts. Features of literary texts will also be taken into account in order to draw the appropriate conclusions of human and machine translator possibilities of understanding these texts.

Digital economy in professional standards sets high requirements for the competencies of specialists, necessity of acceleration and continuation of professional development, introduction of modes of distance learning. Students have contradictions and chronological gaps between the new virtual educational content and previously obtained real experience, modern styles of professional activity and traditional patterns of performance of labor functions, between current information from Internet sources and well-known fundamental knowledge in the subject area. As a result, it becomes difficult to implement educational strategies and trajectories, as well as to develop professional competencies. To solve this problem, it is suggested to distinguish a class of trans-perspective pedagogical technologies. Their pedagogical impact is based on the creation of spatial and temporal relationships (trans-perspectives) between various educationally significant events. The trans-perspective reverse-methodologies identified by the authors have these opportunities and are based on case studies, professionally-oriented complex projects, end-to-end design based on reverse-engineering and prototyping, the “Swing of Time” methodology based on visualization. Diagnostics of the results of the experiment with students of various training areas proves an increase in the level of formation of the continuous professional and educational space of the student due to the reduction of educational risks and the creation of a professional and educational trans-perspective as a purposeful combination of the multidimensional experience of the past, knowledge of the present and forecasts of the future in the educational process.

The assessment of a new variety of spring soft wheat Aist 45 was given based on the analysis data of yield, plasticity, grain quality, and disease resistance. The studies were carried out at the Kurgan Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture, a branch of the Ural Federal Research Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. A test in breeding nurseries (2011-2020) showed an excess of yield over mid-season and mid-late standards (4.4 and 2.8 cwt/ha). In the ecological test under the KASIB (Kazakstan-Siberian network for improving spring wheat) program of 52 varieties in 16 points of Russia and Kazakhstan (2017-2018), Aist 45 variety had a high rating in terms of yield; according to the results of technological analysis, it showed good potential in the content of protein (15.7-16, 3%) and gluten in grain (31.6-32.4%), attributed to valuable wheat. When evaluated for resistance to brown rust against an artificial background in the seedling phase, Aist 45 was assigned to the resistant type (VIZR and VNIIF). Against the infectious background of the RIBSP of South Kazakhstan, the variety showed resistance to septoriosis and pyrenophorosis. Susceptible to dust brand. The variety is capable of forming a stable yield in drought stress conditions and epiphytotic development of brown and stem rust.
