Adaptation of Indigenous Youth from the Northern Territories to Studying at University: Establishment of the "Higher Northern School" in Siberian Federal University

This article is devoted to one of the topical issues of adaptation of secondary education school graduates from the northern territories to studying in post-school educational institutions in the "big" city. This scientific issue is considered in the context of global transformations that are typical for indigenous peoples of the North and Siberia nowadays. The idea of establishment of the "Northern School" is one of the results of the two years of work in grant projects that deal with the integrated study of ethno-cultural, demographic, religious and migration processes and strategic forecasting of the future socio-cultural development of the indigenous peoples of the North and Siberia. Research path of the projects in the specified field has identified the main directions of the future research work. Among the priority areas of activity there is an implementation of the project to establish new university structure. This structure aims at an active adaptation (social adaptation) of young indigenous peoples of the North and Siberia to the megalopolis social environment in the form of intensive training for the enrollment in educational institutions. "Higher Northern School " in SibFU should be the "platform- bridge" between the three realities: the reality of secondary education that is received by graduates from the northern territories, the real educational needs of these graduates and the real labor market needs of the northern territories that are places of compact residence of indigenous ethnic groups of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. We see implementation of this idea in the field of multicultural education, that on the one hand promotes ethnic identity and formation of the cultural awareness of students, on the other hand, it prevents their ethnic and cultural isolation from others.
Nonlinear excitation of geodesic acoustic mode by collisionless trapped electron mode

Excitation of geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) by collisionless trapped electron mode (CTEM) is studied within the framework of nonlinear gyrokinetic theory. The dispersion relation describing GAM excitation by drift wave turbulence valid for arbitrary k⊥ρi is derived. Here, k⊥ and ρi are, respectively, perpendicular wave vector and thermal ion Larmor radius. It is found that the parametric decay process of CTEM into a GAM and a CTEM sideband is unstable in both small and large k⊥ρi regimes due to, respectively, ion and trapped electron nonlinearity. For moderate k⊥ρi, however, there exists a negligible-GAM-excitation state where ion and trapped electron nonlinearities cancel each other.
Monolayers of Natural and Recombinant Photosystem II on Gold Electrodes—Potentials for Use as Biosensors for Detection of Herbicides

Abstract Two methods for monolayer immobilization of photosystem II (PSII) isolated from thermophilic cyanobacteria Synechococcus elongatus and prospects for its use as a biosensor for detection of herbicides are reported: (i) immobilization based on recombinant (His)6‐tagged PSII coupled with nickel‐nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni‐NTA) chelator monolayer on Au electrode. (ii) immobilization based on the natural PSII coupled with the protein A‐anti‐D1 antibody modified Au electrode. Here, Cysteamine (CYS)‐self‐assembled monolayer (SAM)‐(NTA)‐PSII monolayers were compared with traditional bovine serum albumin (BSA)‐glutaraldehyde (GA)‐PSII crosslinked gel matrix and better performances of the derived electrochemical biosensors were pointed out. Better diffusion of inhibitors and mediators resulted in improved sensitivity, velocity of the response, and lower I 50 for herbicides.
Designing a sonic interactive open-ended playground installation

This work reports the implementation and evaluation of a playground installation which looks at sound as the modality that can provide new and engaging play experiences. The sound design is first tested in a lab setting and later on in a swedish preschool, with a particular focus on the stages of play (invitation, exploration, and immersion). 38 children between 2 and 6 years old participated in a field study that lasted for three days. Children’s engagement over time was quantified and field notes were taken during the whole evaluation. None of the children between 2 and 3 years old reached the immersion stage. On the other hand, children between 4 and 6 years old created their own rules showing parallel and collaborative play and, in some occasions, solitary play. The sound modality chosen proved to be effective to encourage children’s play in a first place. In a longer engagement perspective, the soundscape partly supported an immersive play. The results of this study show how the visual and auditory modalities can be effective in a open-ended interactive playground and report the limitations of this design.
Mitral Annuloplasty Using A Biodegradable Annuloplasty Ring

With the advent of several valve repair techniques, mitral valve repair is now preferred over mitral valve replacement as the treatment of choice for several mitral pathologic conditions. Because annular dilation is a vital component in most cases of chronic mitral regurgitation (MR), annular support is necessary to provide adequate repair and optimum long-term results.1 Annular reinforcement permits shrinking of the dilated annulus, allowing adequate coaptation of the valve leaflets, thereby preventing recurrent dilation.
Three galleries of the Anthropocene

This paper considers three ‘galleries’ that explore the Anthropocene in cultural ways, and the implications of the Anthropocene idea for cultural institutions and heritage. The first gallery is the 2014–2016 exhibition Welcome to the Anthropocene: The Earth in Our Hands, [Willkommen im Anthropozän: Unsere Verantwortung für die Zukunft der Erde] at the Deutsches Museum in Munich. The second ‘gallery’ of Anthropocene Posters sponsored by the Art Museum, Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW), placed the Anthropocene in a ‘museum without walls’ in the streets of Berlin in 2013. The third ‘gallery of the Anthropocene’, was not a museum, but rather a landscape gallery (or ‘spectacle’) of in situ industrial heritage in Svalbard. Pyramiden, a town established to mine coal well north of the Arctic Circle in the early 20th century, has been recently transformed as an attraction for climate change science and heritage tourism. Here the hybridized local landscape creates a snapshot of the Anthropocene, bringing together industrial coal-mining heritage buildings, polar tourism and science forged in the geopolitics of the changing Arctic environment.
An Easy-Using Evaluation System Model in Terrorism Based on Individual Risk Index and Classification

In this paper, we first establish the evaluation model of the individual risk index based on the social network analysis. The attributes of the individual through the behavior of the performance is divided into social attributes (including psychological attributes) and network attributes, and then to the social attributes of refinement, and that with some social attributes of people more dangerous. In which, we analyze the psychological factors, and the comprehensive evaluation of the factors, the network attributes are linked to the second tasks in the model. Then, we establish the model of double layer classification based on fuzzy clustering model and weighted Bias classification model. So as to make a preliminary classification of a large number of data, and finally get the specific behavior of the classification table "The Definition Sample of Cut Set of Fuzzy Matrix ". Then the weighted Naive Bayesian classifier is used to classify the individual behavior sets, so that each behavior is obtained from the correlation with terrorism. Then, we can use the weight and then return to the analysis of the individual can be derived from each person's expectations, the expectations of everyone, and applied to the first task of the risk index evaluation.
A General Constitutive Model for Vascular Tissue Considering Stress Driven Growth and Biological Availability

Some of the key factors that regulate growth and remodeling of tissues are fundamentally mechanical. However, it is important to take into account the role of biological availability to generate new tissue together with the stresses and strains in the processes of natural or pathological growth. In this sense, the model presented in this work is oriented to describe growth of vascular tissue under "stress driven growth" considering biological availability of the organism. The general theoretical framework is given by a kinematic formulation in large strain combined with the thermodynamic basis of open systems. The formulation uses a multiplicative decomposition of deformation gradient, splitting it in a growth part and visco-elastic part. The strains due to growth are incompatible and are controlled by unbalanced stresses related to a homeostatic state. Growth implies a volume change with an increase of mass maintaining constant the density. One of the most interesting features of the proposed model is the generation of new tissue taking into account the contribution of mass to the system controlled through the biological availability. Because soft biological tissues in general have a hierarchical structure with several components (usually a soft matrix reinforced with collagen fibers), the developed growth model is suitable for the growth characterization of each component. This allows considering a different behavior for each of them in the context of a generalized theory of mixtures.
Analysis of halogen occultation experiment HF versus CH4 correlation plots: chemistry and transport implications

The relationship between stratospheric CH4 and Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) observed simultaneously by the Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) has been examined globally. The meridional structures of the two long-lived species for the equinox and solstice seasons are found to be very similar. Their surfaces of constant mixing ratio, however, are found to not quite coincide. The isopleth of CH4 graphed as pressure versus latitude shows a steeper slope than that of HF. This feature can be clearly seen from the scatterplots of CH4 versus HF for a sequence of latitude regions. In general, CH4-HF correlation plots are characterized by tightly fitted curves for different latitude bands; curves for the tropics and high latitudes define the envelope for the correlations. The NCAR two-dimensional model simulation of CH4 and HF agrees well with HALOE observations, and it shows that the altitude-latitude dependences of CH4 removal and HF production rates play an important role in determining global CH4-HF correlations. It is found that the CH4-HF correlation inside the Antarctic vortex is nearly linear and is shifted from that of outside the vortex and from that of polar late-summer before the formation of the vortex. HALOE observations of CH4 and HF indicate that the two species are not in states of perfect “slope equilibrium” or “gradient equilibrium” globally. The obvious shift of HF values on CH4 surfaces or vice versa is usually found across dynamical barriers. There is no universal relationship between CH4 and HF. The HF mixing ratios are observed to change up to 20–35% for a given CH4 from different dynamically isolated regions such as the polar vortex, midlatitudes, and the tropics, and the same magnitudes of change in CH4 could also be found for a fixed HF. Therefore one must be cautious in the usage of correlation-inferring methods for any pair of tracers in place of unavailable measurements or for evaluating chemical disturbances.
Chapter ELEVEN

The growing significance attributed to the past has been witnessed in both interest and concern for heritage by a variety of groups, such as local communities, governments, academics, owners, business entities, developers, tourists and others identified as heritage stakeholders, users, or markets of heritage. The “ubiquitous reach” (Lowenthal 1998) of heritage derives from it being perceived as human centered, socially constructed, more of a public than a private good, and a common legacy belonging to all mankind (Loulanski 2006). Such a perception has gradually centre staged heritage dissemination while it is becoming an important aspect of economic development. Heritage, though, cannot be thought of as a commodity in the conventional sense, as it has to be credible when presenting visitors with something they will consider authentic. Thus, when heritage is represented and promoted in online guidebooks the latter not only provide cultural, historical representations of a destination (Samson 2016a). They also build and disseminate heritage knowledge. But can such representations be considered credible? To date, a plethora of studies has examined several issues regarding website credibility, including site design features (Fogg et al. 2001; Flanagin and Metzger 2007; Palmer et al. 2000), cross-media comparisons (Kiousis 2001), source attributions (Sundar and Nass 2001), and the role of users’ reliance on web-based information (Johnson and Kaye 2000, 2002). However, the diversity of information on the web suggests further research, in particular of those websites that might be highly relevant for academic and professional ends as, for instance, the many heritage communication websites. Thus, this chapter aims to extend extant research by analysing the repeated use of clusters, that is, the multi-word combinations occurring within a corpus of online heritage guidebooks of Florence (OHGFLO). Moreover, the examination of how the clusters are implemented can reveal which discursive strategies are adopted to represent, maintain and disseminate credible heritage knowledge on the Web. For this purpose, I seek to answer the following questions: Which are the most frequent clusters emerging in a corpus of online heritage guidebooks of Florence (OHGFLO)? How are the recurring clusters used to maintain and disseminate credible heritage information in OHGFLO? The remainder of the chapter is organized as follows. Section 2 defines the concept of heritage. Section 3 discusses prior research on guidebooks and website credibility. Section 4 describes the corpus and explains the methodology used, section 5 presents and analyses the findings and in section 6 the concluding observations are discussed.
On the cubic moment of quadratic dirichlet L-functions

where χD is the quadratic Dirichlet character associated to Q( √ D) as defined in [11]. Besides its own interest, this mean value problem also plays a crucial role in the studies of such as the Lindelöf Conjecture and the folklore non-vanishing conjecture that L ( 1 2 , χD ) = 0. See, for example, [5] [7] [12]. Jutila [7] was the first to obtain the asymptotic formulas for the cases m = 1, 2, and Soundararajan [12] succeeded in the cubic case. For higher moments, a good upper bound has been obtained by Heath-Brown [6] in the quartic case, but their asymptotic formulas are still out of reach. In general, motivated by the fundamental work of Katz and Sarnak [8] on symmetric types associated to families of L-functions, and by calculations of Keating and Snaith [9] based on random matrix theory, Conrey and Farmer have made the following conjecture ∑
Did he Really Earn it? An Examination of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Use in Sports

Performance-enhancing drug scandals have tarnished the reputation of many professional athletes in a wide variety of sports, from baseball to swimming to cycling. This paper will examine the literature in order to determine the effects of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) on both performance and physical and psychological health; the prevalence in both professional and amateur sports; how steroids are used; how they produce their intended effects; and a brief history of doping in sport and relevant associations created to deal with doping in sport. The literature will be reviewed with the ultimate goal of adding support to the opinion that anabolic-androgenic steroid use should not be allowed a place in the professional sporting environment. Analysis of this question proves to be increasingly relevant as more players are indicted for illegal use of performance-enhancing drugs, and as the ethics of “cheating” by using PEDs are cited as a reason to keep great baseball players from the Hall of Fame. Additionally, it holds important implications in other competitive areas such as academic performance and scaling.
Open lung high frequency ventilation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome: practical considerations and recommendations

In premature infants ventilated because of RDS the favorable effect of HFV OLV compared to conventional mechanical ventilation on the incidence of BPD remains a matter of debate. An important lack in published human studies is the clinical practice surrounding the thorough application of OLV with HFV from the acute stage of RDS through the weaning process until extubation. Studies in this thesis demonstrate that applying a "full package" OLV from start to finish in respiratory failure with high frequency ventilation is feasible and safe in preterm infants with RDS. Lung hysteresis is present which stresses the importance to decrease the pressure after the recruitment maneuver. As surfactant therapy changes lung characteristics pressures should be adjusted timely after surfactant instillation to prevent overinflation. The need for these individualized adjustments is more time consuming but, when applied by trained medical staff the personnel resources can be reduced. Also the radiological evaluation of the chest is different especially with regard to the gradation of the severity of RDS. Classical radiological characteristics of RDS cannot be used as radiolucency is improved. Mild hyperinflation is found in only a minority of patients on chest X-ray. Finally, cross over from OLV HFV to conventional mechanical ventilation can be avoided as it is possible to wean and to extubate patients directly from HFV.
Similarity Measures for Clustering SNP Data

The issue of suitable similarity measures for a particular kind of genetic data – so called SNP data – arises from the GENICA (Interdisciplinary Study Group on Gene Environment Interaction and Breast Cancer in Germany) case-control study of sporadic breast cancer. The GENICA study aims to investigate the influence and interaction of single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) loci and exogenous risk factors. A single nucleotide polymorphism is a point mutation that is present in at least 1 % of a population. SNPs are the most common form of human genetic variations. In particular, we consider 65 SNP loci and 2 insertions of longer sequences in genes involved in the metabolism of hormones, xenobiotics and drugs as well as in the repair of DNA and signal transduction. Assuming that these single nucleotide changes may lead, for instance, to altered enzymes or to a reduced or enhanced amount of the original enzymes – with each alteration alone having minor effects – we aim to detect combinations of SNPs that under certain environmental conditions increase the risk of sporadic breast cancer. The search for patterns in the present data set may be performed by a variety of clustering and classification approaches. We consider here the problem of suitable measures of proximity of two variables or subjects as an indispensable basis for a further cluster analysis. Generally, clustering approaches are a useful tool to detect structures and to generate hypothesis about potential relationships in complex data situations. Searching for patterns in the data there are two possible objectives: the identification of groups of similar objects or subjects or the identification of groups of similar variables within the whole or within subpopulations. Comparing the individual genetic profiles as well as comparing the genetic information across subpopulations we discuss possible choices of similarity measures, in particular similarity measures based on the counts of matches and mismatches. New matching coefficients are introduced with a more flexible weighting scheme to account for the general problem of the comparison of SNP data: The large proportion of homozygous reference sequences relative to the homo- and heterozygous SNPs is masking the accordances and differences of interest.
Toward the structuring of meanings of the Mexican day of the death ritual, under a complex systems approach

0 0 1 486 2378 Julio Cesar Chavarria Hernandez 44 8 2856 14.0 Normal 0 21 false false false ES-MX JA X-NONE The objective of ethnographic work has among its objectives to describe human behaviour in society and the ways in which social institutions are structured. Therefore, describing the inverse processes is a fundamental part of ethnography, i.e. the effects of social institutions on the human behaviour and the consequences of social behaviour could change or remain in social institutions. The mathematical modelling of changes and continuities in social institutions is one of the issues for the hard sciences and social sciences subjects. In this paper we present to the reader a proposal to formalize the structure of one of the Mexican social institutions phenomenon called “The Mexican Day of the Death Ritual”. The Ritual of Deaths in Central and Southern Mexico has certain qualities that have been transmitted from generation to generation through Sign Systems under rules and patterns of communication-restricted interaction, these systems are called social institutions, they will be understood from the Systemic Science comparable to regular lattices and complex network. Such as the interaction of human groups in shared social spaces like public squares and cemeteries realize connectivity between individuals in the form of long-range connections or random long-range connections. The combined use of two types of networks (local and random) to model Complex Systems of Human Activity is called small world networks. Essentially the topological connection from a logic of classes can be supplemented regularly where the probability (p) is p = 0, or completely random where p = 1. However, the threshold of interest for social topological space networks is intermediate between 0 and 1: 0> p> 1. Through Ashby’s Law of requisite variety, describes the qualitative-quantitative properties that are governing the internal structure of the network, and the description of network changes. The objective to observe this critical site under the Law of Requisite Variety is to test whether the postulate of Ashby can be applied to conscious systems (human acts and vital systems), i.e., testing whether the relationship that serves as the regulator (power law) acts to limit the outcome to a particular subset of variables, or to maintain some variables within certain limits, or even to hold some variables constant. According to the proposal of K. Wilber (2000) conscious systems are quantitative and qualitative, in such a way that the most complex system includes the simplest system (components, relationships and emergent properties). Based on this perspective, the qualitative dimension is an emergent property of systems that handle conscious interpretative contextual information, something that is not considered in Ashby’s law. Finally, this article will help to understand how the cultural and spiritual heritage is transmitted through time.
EVENTUAL COMPACTNESS FOR SEMIFLOWS GENERATED BY NONLINEAR AGE-STRUCTURED MODELS

In this paper we investigate compactness properties for a semiflow generated by a semi-linear equation with non-dense domain. We start with the non-homogeneous linear case, and we derive some abstract conditions for non-autonomous semilinear equations. Then we investigate a special situation which is well adapted for age-structured equations. We conclude the paper by applying the abstract results to an age-structured model with an additional structure.
