Full textAbstract:
The need for deinking mills to reduce their fresh water consumption has resulted in higher loads of various contaminants in the process water. Lower recovered paper quality also leads to higher contamination levels in the mills. This higher load has an influence on achievable target brightness. The objective of the work was to determine and explain the main reasons for relatively poor deinked pulp quality or poor deinking potential based on the influence of recovered paper composition and process water quality. The process water parameters significantly affect the deinking potential of recovered paper. The test results showed the negative effects of increased water hardness. For standard recovered paper mixtures, flotation selectivity is higher with increasing flotation pH-value. Good results were realized for standard recovered paper with low hardness, low surface tension, and high pH-value. The results for recovered paper containing flexo newsprint could be slightly improved with low hardness, low surface tension, and low pH-value. The results of the test program using design of experiments showed interacting effects of pH-value and surface tension on luminosity and flotation selectivity.

This research aims to describe the implementation of planning, organizing, learning execution, and evaluation of learning outcomes based on information and computer technology at SMAN 5, SMK N 10, SMAN N 11 of Tangerang Regency. The programs to improve the learning quality in these 3 high schools were conducted continuously through programs of enhancing the teachers’ competency based on information and communication technology (ICT). Teachers as educators generally have interesting ideas and innovations in teaching by implementing ICT when compiling, executing, and evaluating learning outcomes. ICT-based learning seemed more dynamic, interactive, flexible, and interesting for the students. Educators searched for strategies in teaching-learning process by deploying inspiring techniques for the talented students. The students interested with the learning materials could interact with the teachers intensively, not only at the learning time. The quality management of technology-based education was a profound learning for the educators and education staff. This was because they acquired knowledge and understanding in planning, organizing, directing, and controlling the sources of education in order to effectively, efficiently, autonomously achieve the education targets and to produce quality they were proud of.

The aim of the work was to study the process of hydrodearomatization and alkylation of gasoline fractions under increased hydrogen pressure. It has been used Rh-Pt (9:1)/Al2O3 catalyst in the work. It has been studied the hydrogenation of three gasoline fractions of «Atyrau Oil Refinery» LLP and Pavlodar Petrochemical Plant LLP. Technological parameters of the process of hydrodearomatization for the production of environmentally friendly fuels, containing no benzene and low in aromatic hydrocarbons have been worked out (pressure, temperature). Data on group composition of organic substances in gasolines demonstrate that after catalytic hydrogenation benzene in final samples of two fractions is absent. For hydrogenizate, the aromatic content decreased from 11.12 weight % to 2.20 weight %. For stable catalysate, the amount of aromatics decreased from 51.5 weight % to 10.96 weight %. Catalytic systems based on zeolites ZSM5 and Y modified with Mg, La, and Ce were tested during the alkylation of 2 gasoline fractions of Atyrau Oil Refinery LLP. It was established that benzene fractions was removed by 30–37% from gasoline and the content of aromatic hydrocarbons, toluene and cumene decreased by 6–10%.The catalysts were studied by BET, porometry and EM methods, which established a uniform formation of nanoscale particles on the catalyst surface.

Full textAbstract:
The IGPC Engineering Department designed a basic technological project for an evaporation unit for detergent zeolite production at "Zeolite Mira", Mira, Italy. The evaporation unit was for a capacity of 15,000 t/h of evaporated water per hour from 26,000 t/h of 11 % NaOH solution.The gained product meets all quality regulation, as well as environmental regulations. The evaporation process is fully automatized, and the product has uniform quality. There is no waste material in detergent zeolite production, because all products with unsatisfactory quality are returned to the process. The production process can be controlled manually, which is necessary during start-up, and repairs. A fully closed cycle of filtrate was achieved by installing an evaporation unit. 11% NaOH solution is produced in detergent zeolite filtration, which is dangerous waste. It is evaporated to 26% NaOH solution and afterwards returned to the wet hydrate dissolution plant. In this way environmental protection is achieved, as well as a highly economical process.

Mestrado APNORIncreasing of economic sustainability of an enterprise is one of the most important problems in current global economic and political conditions. For agricultural companies this issue is important in higher grade. One of the ways of economic sustainability increasing is to improve the quality of harvested feed for animals, namely - haylage. In this Master thesis it was considered the meaning of “Economic sustainability” and ways of its increasing. Also in theoretical part it was presented main features of economic sustainability in agricultural enterprises and ways of its increasing. As one of the ways of economic sustainability increasing was considered the modifying of harvesting system. As the considered enterprise it was used Joint Stock Company “Novoazovskoe” of Azovsky German National district of Omsk region of Russian Federation. According to the topic of Master Thesis it was implemented the general analysis of legal, managerial, financial and productive information of considered enterprise. To identify the most prospective ways of increasing an economic sustainability in terms of harvesting system, it was implemented the analysis of existing haylage harvesting system. In final chapter of Master thesis, it was proposed the modern system of haylage harvesting, offered the purchasing of required agricultural machineries for implementing of new system, and presented the economic results received after implementation of new haylage harvesting system. The main results show that after implementation of new haylage harvesting system the total volume of good haylage increased up to 88% of total remained mass and 93% of initial harvested mass. Accumulated gross profit for 5 years received from realization of the surplus of a good haylage was more than 29 million rubles.

Full textAbstract:
Agricultural land and woodland in the vicinity of urban settlements appear increasingly to represent a key element and strategic resource for addressing issues of residential quality, and hence the requalification of the urban construct. In effect, from a "vacuum" awaiting construction, the periurban agricultural territory is emerging as the yardstick for a new measurement and integration of the public policies governing urban and territorial plans and those for rural development. This book proposes a number of cues and methodological and operational elements to stimulate reflection on this new scenario. It does so through the exploration of a number of significant and innovative experiences in Italy and the rest of Europe, while at the same time also proposing an initial appraisal of the process of design and social mobilisation for the definition of the scenario for the Prato Agricultural Park.

Full textAbstract:
The terminal phase is the period of time between living with a reasonable quality of life, and the process of dying. While lung cancer and pulmonary fibrosis have the potential to deteriorate rapidly, the majority of lung diseases worsen over years. Every exacerbation of the condition leads to a decline in both lung function and performance status, and often the pre-exacerbation level of functioning is never regained. There is not a defining point to indicate whether a patient is entering the terminal stages of their illness, but practice shows that the following signs are suggestive: increasing breathlessness and thus becoming increasingly housebound; increasing oxygen requirements; declining pulmonary function test results; increasingly frequent exacerbations requiring hospital admission and/or non-invasive ventilation; developing cor pulmonale; weight loss and difficulty maintaining weight; anxiety and depression; if the death of the patient within the next year would not be a surprise.

This chapter reviews and provides examples of elements and techniques of project management. In the good old days, when conception to completion was a few months, the process of project management was relatively informal. However, with the increasing complexity and cost of projects, many routinely costing millions and some costing billions, the process has become more formalized. This chapter discusses the roles of the client, the sponsor, the leader, the manager and the team member. In addition, the three key parameters of project management, quality, cost and schedule, are defined and discussed. Finally, various project management methodologies and tools, such as work breakdown structures, Gantt charts and milestones, are presented.

Op. 111 marks the culmination of a process across the last three sonatas by which the trill acquires an increasing autonomy from its conventional ornamental function. Among the quartets, it is perhaps only the Grosse Fugue that matches the Arietta’s transformation of the trill. As the fugue subject is fragmented, the trill is cut off from its conventional resolution. Trills then begin to saturate every note in the texture such that their functional potential is entirely eclipsed by their conversion into pure sound. This enjoyment of the trill for its exclusively timbral quality, rather than its capacity to signify harmonic closure, harks back to Beethoven’s idiosyncratic overuse of superfluous ties in the syncopations of the fugal exposition, and in the ...

Full textAbstract:
Advance Care Planning (ACP) is an essential part of quality end of life care in the UK and in most developed countries, enabling more people to live well and die well as they would choose. In the context of the ageing population, with increasing possibilities for medical interventions, ACP is an crucial consideration, with important implications for the individual person and their family and for our wider population. This book takes a comprehensive look at the subject, helps readers explore a wide range of issues and practicalities in providing ACP; frames the purpose, process, and outcomes; provides updates on national and international research, policy, and practice and includes contributions from experts from around the world. Death will affect us all; it is the one certainty in life. Yet the subject of death remains something of a taboo, we rarely discuss what our preferences would be at end of life, what we would want, where we would want to be cared for, not even with loved ones.

Full textAbstract:
Clinical research is heavily regulated and involves coordination of numerous pharmaceutical-related disciplines. Each individual trial involves contractual, regulatory, and ethics approval at each site and in each country. Clinical trials have become so complex and government requirements so stringent that researchers often approach trials too cautiously, convinced that the process is bound to be insurmountably complicated and riddled with roadblocks. A step back is needed, an objective examination of the drug development process as a whole, and recommendations made for streamlining the process at all stages. With Intelligent Drug Development, Michael Tansey systematically addresses the key elements that affect the quality, timeliness, and cost-effectiveness of the drug-development process, and identifies steps that can be adjusted and made more efficient. Tansey uses his own experiences conducting clinical trials to create a guide that provides flexible, adaptable ways of implementing the necessary processes of development. Moreover, the processes described in the book are not dependent either on a particular company structure or on any specific technology; thus, Tansey's approach can be implemented at any company, regardless of size. The book includes specific examples that illustrate some of the ways in which the principles can be applied, as well as suggestions for providing a better context in which the changes can be implemented. The protocols for drug development and clinical research have grown increasingly complex in recent years, making Intelligent Drug Development a needed examination of the pharmaceutical process.

In less than two decades, AIDS has been transformed from a rapidly fatal, untreatable illness to a manageable chronic disease. Early in the AIDS epidemic, HIV care and palliative care were inseparable; over time, these two treatment paradigms diverged. In the developed world, and to a lesser but increasing extent in the developing world, decreasing mortality rates have resulted in growing numbers of HIV-infected patients living with the disease for many years. As this long-surviving population increases, the challenges of chronic disease management, an expanding range of co-morbidities, and a process that has been described as ‘accelerated ageing’, have all emerged to present new needs and opportunities for palliative care expertise. Earlier in the epidemic, palliative care for AIDS focused primarily on end-of-life care and pain and symptom management related to the manifestations of AIDS-specific opportunistic infections and malignancies. Currently, pain and symptoms may be related to these as well as other co-morbid chronic diseases which commonly occur in HIV-infected patients, including cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, metabolic, and neurocognitive complications. Attention to these symptoms, quality of life issues, and psychosocial problems in long-surviving patients over many years will be increasingly important to support engagement with care and effective adherence with antiretroviral therapy over time. End-of-life care, while less frequent, also remains important, as patients may still die from AIDS, or even more commonly, from end-organ failure, non-AIDS defining malignancies, and/or other complications of ageing and chronic co-morbid disease. All these converging factors have now resulted in a new need for the re-integration of HIV care and palliative care, both to help HIV-infected patients live better and longer, as well as manage late-stage and end-of-life issues when they emerge.

Fiscal Space for Health in Latin America and the Caribbean. Organización Panamericana de la Salud, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.37774/9789275120002.
Full textAbstract:
Countries that have made the most progress toward universal coverage have public expenditures in health equivalent to at least 6% of their gross domestic product (GDP), which is the percentage established in PAHO’s universal health strategy as the benchmark for the countries. However, while higher expenditure is a prerequisite, it is not enough to combat inequities and advance toward universal health. In addition to greater resources, the quality of the expenditure must be improved, reducing health system inefficiencies. Moreover, public expenditure in health should be sustainably increased in a fiscally responsible manner. The concept of fiscal space for health refers to the ability of governments to provide additional budgetary resources for the health system without affecting the financial position of the public sector or supplanting other socially necessary expenditures. Any analysis of fiscal space, therefore, will attempt to identify the prospects for increasing health expenditure in the short and medium term to address a series of clearly established health needs. These efforts are under way at a critical time in the Region of the Americas, particularly in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, which are engaged in a singular health system reform process. For the first time in history, these countries have formalized their intention of increasing public expenditure in health, putting themselves firmly on the path to real and effective access to health care through the universal health strategy. Without achieving basic well-being at this level, it will be impossible to improve social cohesion and social development in the countries of the Region. This publication brings together and summarizes PAHO’s studies on fiscal space for universal health in the Americas and draws on the contributions of the regional forum held in Washington, D.C. on 7-8 December 2015. With this publication, whose target audience is the technical personnel responsible for policy development, decision-makers, and authorities, PAHO hopes to contribute to the analysis and discussion of health financing policies on the path toward universal health.

Full textAbstract:
There are many risks associated with incarceration, and a substantial one is suicide. Virtually every completed suicide generates litigation. Prevalence, demographics, trends, screening and assessment of suicide risk, and recognition of the key factors associated with increased risk and managing that risk safely and appropriately in jails is presented. The factors relating to increasing suicide risk in prisons are often quite distinct from other correctional settings. Issues such as restrictive housing, facility transfers, loss of community social supports, and chronic management all play potential roles. Proactive recognition of such concerns and active management is critical to effective risk reduction. This chapter discusses such factors in the context of changing prison dynamics and trends. Following completed suicides, a formal protocol is often followed to assist staff in understanding the events that led to the suicide and specifically intervening to address staff feelings that follow such a trauma. Such a process assists quality improvement initiatives, whether in the form of a root cause analysis or other format. Best practice approaches to post-mortem review and staff intervention/ support have been developed and are in use in many facilities. Working to eliminate or reduce the frequency of suicide attempts absolutely requires a staff culture committed to continued learning and improving of both knowledge and skills. This chapter presents a review of the current standards of suicide risk reduction training.

Abstract Since its inception in 2007, DBpedia has been constantly releasing open data in RDF, extracted from various Wikimedia projects using a complex software system called the DBpedia Information Extraction Framework (DIEF). For the past 12 years, the software received a plethora of extensions by the community, which positively affected the size and data quality. Due to the increase in size and complexity, the release process was facing huge delays (from 12 to 17 months cycle), thus impacting the agility of the development. In this paper, we describe the new DBpedia release cycle including our innovative release workflow, which allows development teams (in particular those who publish large, open data) to implement agile, cost-efficient processes and scale up productivity. The DBpedia release workflow has been re-engineered, its new primary focus is on productivity and agility, to address the challenges of size and complexity. At the same time, quality is assured by implementing a comprehensive testing methodology. We run an experimental evaluation and argue that the implemented measures increase agility and allow for cost-effective quality-control and debugging and thus achieve a higher level of maintainability. As a result, DBpedia now publishes regular (i.e. monthly) releases with over 21 billion triples with minimal publishing effort .

AbstractScar resurfacing is focused on the improvement in the quality of a scar by disruption of the skin surface and reducing the bulk of the scar by control of the secondary healing process. The prerequisite is knowledge of the wound healing and scarring process such that the intervention can be designed to reduce the risk of increasing the scarring.The clinical examination and assessment of the scar will guide the selection of the technique addressing the specific aspects of the scar, such as the pigment restoration and volume reduction, with the aim of blending the scar with the surrounding uninjured skin.Understanding the natural history of the scar, the impact it has on the patient, and the techniques available for improvement provides the clinical decision-making matrix to drive an improved scar outcome. Resurfacing is one opportunity for scar modulation which needs to be taken into context relative to the range of conservative and surgical therapeutic opportunities explored within the chapters of the book.

Abstract[Context] In manufacturing industries, the design of a product needs to comply with many design rules. These rules are essentials as they help industrial designers to create high quality design in an efficient way. [Problem] However, the management of an ever-increasing number of design rules becomes a real problem, especially for new designers. Even if there exists some knowledge management tools for design rules, their capabilities are still limited and many companies continue to store their design rules in unstructured documents. Nowadays, design rule application is still a difficult task that needs a circular validation process between many expert services in a manufacturing company. [Proposition] In this paper, we will analyze the main existing approaches for design rules application from which we will demonstrate the need of a new approach to improve the current state-of-the-art practices. To minimize rule application impact on the design process, we propose to develop a Context-Aware Design Assistant that will perform design rule recommendation on the fly while designing using computer-aided technologies. Our Design Assistant relies on the modelling of the design rules and the design context in a single knowledge graph that can fuel a recommendation engine. [Future Work] In future work, we will describe the technical structure of the Context-Aware Design Assistant and develop it. The potential outcome of this research are: a better workflow integration of design rules application, a proactive verification of design solutions, a continuous learning of design rules, the detection and automation of design routines.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractCoupled aquaponics is the archetype form of aquaponics. The technical complexity increases with the scale of production and required water treatment, e.g. filtration, UV light for microbial control, automatic controlled feeding, computerization and biosecurity. Upscaling is realized through multiunit systems that allow staggered fish production, parallel cultivation of different plants and application of several hydroponic subsystems. The main task of coupled aquaponics is the purification of aquaculture process water through integration of plants which add economic benefits when selecting suitable species like herbs, medicinal plants or ornamentals. Thus, coupled aquaponics with closed water recirculation systems has a particular role to fulfil.Under fully closed recirculation of nutrient enriched water, the symbiotic community of fish, plants and bacteria can result in higher yields compared with stand-alone fish production and/or plant cultivation. Fish and plant choices are highly diverse and only limited by water quality parameters, strongly influenced by fish feed, the plant cultivation area and component ratios that are often not ideal. Carps, tilapia and catfish are most commonly used, though more sensitive fish species and crayfish have been applied. Polyponics and additional fertilizers are methods to improve plant quality in the case of growth deficiencies, boosting plant production and increasing total yield.The main advantages of coupled aquaponics are in the most efficient use of resources such as feed for nutrient input, phosphorous, water and energy as well as in an increase of fish welfare. The multivariate system design approach allows coupled aquaponics to be installed in all geographic regions, from the high latitudes to arid and desert regions, with specific adaptation to the local environmental conditions. This chapter provides an overview of the historical development, general system design, upscaling, saline and brackish water systems, fish and plant choices as well as management issues of coupled aquaponics especially in Europe.

Full textAbstract:
Healthcare processes have variability embedded within care delivery systems. Healthcare providers and managers need visibility of the process to understand variability, and make process design changes, to improve safety and efficiency. Process mapping has been traditionally used to study processes, and is based on perceptions. However, to better understand and manage variability, there is an urgent need for process mining techniques. Process mining requires data for validation, to increase understanding and/or change perceptions and improve visibility. Radio frequency identification (RFID) can be used for collecting process-related data and can eliminate data quality issues. This paper discusses process mining and its application in healthcare, summarizes process mapping and RFID, and proposes an integration framework and method to improve visibility.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, business process modeling has increasingly drawn the attention of enterprises. As a result of the wide use of business processes, redundancy problems have arisen and researchers introduced the variability management, in order to enhance the business process reuse. The most approach used in this context is the Configurable Process Model solution, which consists in representing the variable and the fixed parts together in a unique model. Due to the increasing number of variants, the configurable models become complex and incomprehensible, and their quality is therefore impacted. Most of research work is limited to the syntactic quality of process variants. The approach presented in this paper aims at providing a novel method towards syntactic verification and semantic validation of configurable process models based on ontology languages. We define validation rules for assessing the quality of configurable process models. An example in the e-healthcare domain illustrates the main steps of our approach.

Full textAbstract:
Productivity and efficiency are critical aspects to effective teaching and quality learning for students. Nationwide demands for school accountability in the United States has placed a heavy focus on ways to improve the quality of teaching. One area explored to inform effective teaching is the process of grade appeal grievances. The very existence of the grade appeals process implies a lack of satisfaction on the part of the students resulting in decreased teaching efficacy on the part of instructors, who must then problem-solve the grade issues. This chapter will provide a history of how grade appeals are perceived by students, instructors and the United States legal system, in addition to why students file grade appeals and the various ways these issues can be resolved. An examination of why students file the appeals aligned with best instructional practices for online teaching to avoid grade appeals will be provided.

Full textAbstract:
In retail industries every ordered lot carry some fraction of imperfect quality items which can vary depending upon production and handling conditions. The situation is even more subtle when the items are prone to deterioration. However, an inspection process can spare us from such a criticality by bifurcating the defectives from the good quality lot. Thus, a screening process is mandatory. In the hyper-competitive market, trade-credit is well-known gimmick in order to boost the sales. Keeping in view, an inventory scenario of a retailer is investigated who has to deal with imperfect and “deteriorating items” under “permissible delay in payments”. The demand is assumed to be increasing exponentially. Shortages are permitted to occur and supposed to be “partially backlogged.” Rate of backlogging is assumed to have inverse relation with the waiting time for the subsequent replenishment. In this chapter, shortage point and length of cycle are jointly optimized. Numerical analysis and sensitivity analysis is performed to provide important insights for managerial persistence.

Full textAbstract:
Drilling is one of the most commonly used machining processes in various industries such as automotive, aircraft and aerospace, dies/molds, home appliance, medical and electronic equipment industries. Due to the increasing competitiveness in the market, cycle times of the drilling processes must be decreased. Moreover, tight geometric tolerance requirements in designs, drilled hole precisions must be increased in production. On the other hand, process engineers have to be conservative when selecting machining conditions with respect to metal removal rate in order to avoid undesirable cases such as drill breakage, excessive cutter deflection and undesirable hole profile problems. In this research, a new mathematical model based on the mechanics and dynamics of the drilling process is developed for the predictions of cutting forces and hole qualities in advance. A new method is also proposed in order to obtain cutting coefficients directly from a set of relatively simple calibration tests. The model is able simulate the cutting forces for various cutting conditions in the process planning stage. In structural dynamics module, measured frequency response functions of the spindle and tool system are integrated into the model in order to obtain drilled hole profiles. Therefore, in addition to predicting the forces, the new model allows to determine and visualize drilled hole profiles in 3D and to select parameters properly under the manufacturing and tolerance constraints. Extensive number of experiments is performed to validate the theoretical model outputs with the measured forces and CMM hole profiles. It is observed that model predictions agree well with the force and CMM measurements. Some of the typical calibration and validation results are presented in this paper.

Full textAbstract:
Offshore structural steel design and material requirements continue to present increasing challenges for the steelmaker and fabricators. Niobium-bearing steels currently play a key role in meeting these objectives through the Nb-grain refinement mechanism of the microstructure and cost effective steelmaking. These steels possess a combination of exceptional properties with high strength, excellent weldability, high toughness at low temperature, good ductility, excellent corrosion resistance, and high formability. Reduced variation of Charpy toughness through the thickness of heavy plates is imperative in these offshore platforms to enhance reliability and performance. Toughness variation can be reduced through the proper continuous casting and hot rolling mechanical metallurgy process. These high-performance steels (HPS) possess an optimized balance of these properties to provide maximum cost effective performance in offshore structures at strength levels from 355 to 700MPa with excellent corrosion resistance. This combination of good strength-toughness balance, excellent weathering properties and reduced preheat temperatures for welding in these low carbon Nb-structural steels result in significant cost savings. These enhancements provide structural engineers the opportunity to further improve the structural design and offshore platform performance. Lower carbon Nb-alloy designs have exhibited reduced operational production cost at the steel mill as well, thereby embracing the value-added attribute Nb provides to benefit both the producer and the end user throughout the supply chain.

Full textAbstract:
Widespread use of advanced process control allows reduction of costs, by reducing drying time and energy consumption. The “control of the freezing stage” (by forced nucleation) also appears to be beneficial to process intensification, as it can impact the product structure and modify the product resistance to mass transfer. An alternative way to increase the drying rate is the use of organic solvents as they can lead to larger solvent crystals, hence lower product resistance to vapor flow. Atmospheric freeze-drying may be a good alternative to vacuum freeze-drying, as a way of increasing process efficiency. A further improvement can be obtained by combining atmospheric or vacuum freeze-drying with new technologies. A further step towards process intensification is given by continuous plants, as this allows a dramatic increase in throughput and product quality uniformity. Keywords: freeze-drying; process intensification; controlled nucleation; continuous process.

This paper aims to highlight essential contributions in terms of management development in preschool institutions, the facts that leads to increasing quality of the entire educational process. Approaching this topic and bending with particular interest in the field of formal education in Romania, we dive into the essence of educational management so that we can offer important constructive suggestions for optimizing analysis activities and implicitly increasing performance in terms of specific management of the network of kindergartens. Preschool education is the cornerstone of the formation of human personality, as well as the first gateway to knowledge. To ensure high quality in education, a complex process is needed, very well organized and structured, which must be integrated into the institutional culture of the organization. Talking about quality management while focusing on quality in education represents in fact an analysis and careful research on management actions aimed directly at increasing the satisfaction of the needs of the beneficiaries of the educational system.

The troops of the national guard of the Russian Federation are equipped with modern models of weapons, special equipment, Informatization tools, engineering weapons that have artificial intelligence in their composition are being developed, " etc., which causes an increase in the requirements for the quality of professional training of future officers. The increasing complexity of military professional activities, the avalanche-like increase in information, the need to develop the ability to quickly and accurately make and implement well-known and own engineering solutions in an unpredictable military environment demonstrates that the most important tasks of modern higher education are not only providing graduates with a system of fundamental and special knowledge and skills, but also developing their professional independence, and this led to the concept of engineering and creative potential in the list of professionally important qualities of an officer. To expedite a special mechanism system compact intense clarity through cognitive visualization of the educational material, thickening of educational knowledge through encoding, consolidation and structuring Principle of cognitive visualization stems from the psychological laws in accordance with which the efficiency of absorption is increased if visibility in training does not only illustrative, but also cognitive function, which leads to active inclusion, along with the left and right hemispheres of the student in the process of assimilation of information, based on the use of logical and semantic modeling, which contributes to the development of engineering and creative potential.
