Ecuador acknowledges the need to improve infrastructure and resources for educational inclusion, but it faces challenges in effective implementation compared to developed countries that have made advancements in this area. The objective of this research was to map the regulations and practices related to the implementation of inclusive infrastructure and educational resources at the international level, identifying knowledge gaps and opportunities for adaptation in Ecuador. An exploratory theoretical review was conducted following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, using searches in academic databases and official documents. Qualitative and regulatory studies from the United States, Finland, Canada, and Japan were selected, analyzing 16 scientific articles and 11 official documents. The results reveal that Ecuador faces challenges in the implementation of inclusive regulations, particularly in infrastructure and resources, highlighting the need to establish national accessibility standards, invest in assistive technologies, and offer continuous teacher training to enhance educational inclusion. The research uncovered a negative cycle where the lack of effective implementation of inclusive regulations perpetuates inequality and reinforces institutional inertia. For successful reform, the regulatory structure, resource management, and educational culture in Ecuador must be addressed simultaneously.

Published: September 2024

The production and characterization of UNS C65620 (CuZn3Fe2Si3) and UNS C87800 (CuZn15Si4) coded alloys were investigated. The alloys poured into the gravity die casting method were hot forged with a ram, followed by stress relief annealing heat treatment. While the formation of Cu4Si, Cu0.83Si0.17 and Cu5Zn8 phases were detected in the structure of the UNS C65620 coded alloy, Cu12.75SiZn2.92 and Cu3Zn intermetallics with the phases given above were observed in the structure of the alloy containing more Zn and Si. The formation of phases containing more Si and Zn resulted in an increase in both the hardness and strength of the UNS C87800 coded alloy, while the decrease in the % reduction of area and the observation of dynamic deformation aging caused the increase in both the wear rate and deformation hardening rate, which led to embrittlement of the alloy. The deterioration of the corrosion resistance of the UNS C87800 coded alloy can be attributed to the formation of Zn-rich corrosion products on the surface during corrosion.

Published: September 2024

This study explains the influence of fly ash type C and type F on the properties of membrane geopolymer. The geopolymer paste was synthesized through a mix of fly ash (FA) and an alkaline activator (AA) (2:1 mass ratio of FA:AA). The alkali activator was prepared from sodium silicate and 12 M sodium hydroxide solution in a mass ratio of 1.6. Hydrogen peroxide 3 wt.% was applied as the pore-forming agent, and 4 wt.% glass fiber was employed for reinforcement. The properties of the geopolymer were investigated via Fourier-transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The compressive strength confirmed the higher performance of the type C fly ash-based geopolymer membrane (CFAGM) over the type F fly ash-based geopolymer membrane (FFAGM). On the other hand, FFAGM exhibited an enhanced water permeation flux owing to the larger pore diameter. These results affirmed the excellent performance compared to the previous study.

In recent years, the research and development in conductive polymer composites (CPCs) had gained considerable interests in both industry and academia as potential materials for electronic interconnects. These composites require to have the ability to conduct electric while maintaining sufficient flexibility while withstanding the bending, twisting, or stretching during service. To achieve the desired composite properties, the processing method and the parameters involved plays important role and ought to be investigated. In this study, the effect compounding parameters on the preparation of linear-low density polyethylene/carbon black (LLDPE/CB) polymer composite were carried out. Factors namely filler loadings, screw speed and maximum barrel temperatures were selected and their effects on the tensile properties and conductivity were analyzed in this research. It was observed that the increasing of filler loadings from 5 wt.% to 10 wt.% has increased the electrical conductivity from 1.11×10–2 S/m to 1.46×10–2 S/m. The pareto chart shows that the filler loading was important factors to the result of composite conductivity. Moreover, the main effect plot shows that the filler loading has the highest mean effect on conductivity as it is important for the formation of conducting path in composite. It was also established that the pareto chart also shows that filler loading and barrel temperature have the highest significant effect on LLDPE/CB polymer composite tensile properties. The changes in the combinations of factors affect the tensile properties as revealed by the main effect plots for LLDPE/CB CPCs.

Authors: Lee Jeongmin , Lee Seungkeun , Song Kunho , Evans Samantha , Her Jiwoong
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the level of whole-blood ionized magnesium (iMg) in dogs with long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).

METHODS

The study included 10 client-owned dogs with esomeprazole administration over 6 months and 62 healthy dogs to determine de novo reference interval (RI) of iMg. Dogs that received esomeprazole for 6 months or longer were retrospectively reviewed to determine the incidence of hypo- or hypermagnesemia based on the de novo RI. Additionally, the iMg levels from the study group were compared with those of 20 age-, sex-, and body weight–matched controls from the 62 dogs.

RESULTS

The median (range) duration of esomeprazole usage was 26 months (6 to 94). The de novo RI for iMg was determined as 0.73 (90% CI, 0.58 to 0.87) to 1.43 mg/dL (90% CI, 1.33 to 1.46). Based on the RI, none of the dogs with long-term esomeprazole developed hypo- or hypermagnesemia. The iMg from the matched control group was 1.17 mg/dL (90% CI, 0.83 to 1.46). The lowest iMg after 6 months of esomeprazole administration (90% CI, 0.96 mg/dL, 0.87 to 1.41) was significantly lower than the control group (P = .031). The iMg measured at the end of long-term esomeprazole treatment was 1.03 mg/dL (90% CI, 0.87 to 1.41) and not significantly different from the control group (P = .179).

CONCLUSIONS

Ionized hypomagnesemia was not observed after long-term use of esomeprazole in the small number of dogs included in this study. Robust RI needs to be determined in future studies to investigate the incidence of hypomagnesemia in dogs with long-term use of PPIs.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Future studies in a larger number of dogs are warranted to confirm the findings from the present study and to determine whether the long-term use of esomeprazole in dogs is at risk of developing ionized hypomagnesemia.

Published: September 2024

Luteolin, a flavonoid, has been reported to inhibit the enhanced endothelial permeability in vitro. The purpose of this study was to determine the mechanism of luteolin affected the in vitro suppression of elevated endothelial permeability involves protein kinase C activity and intracellular calcium concentration. The inducer bradykinin was tested using the in vitro vascular permeability assay in endothelial cells obtained from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Protein kinase C assay test and the intracellular calcium concentration were also determined. Results revealed luteolin (5, 10, and 25 μM) significantly suppressed increased endothelial permeability (P < 0.001). The increased activity of protein kinase C was significantly suppressed by luteolin at the dose of 5 μM (P < 0.05), 10 μM (P < 0.01), and 25 μM (P < 0.01). The increased concentration of intracellular calcium was significantly suppressed by luteolin at the dose of 10 μM (P < 0.01) and 25 μM (P < 0.001). Collectively, these results showed luteolin suppressed the activity of protein kinase C and suppressed the increased concentration of intracellular calcium when HUVECs were induced by bradykinin, leading to the suppression of increased endothelial permeability as the nitric oxide-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO-cGMP ) pathway was being inactivated. This may explain the pharmacologic properties of luteolin, which is anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective. These results also revealed the potential use of luteolin in treating many other diseases involve endothelial permeability.
Implicațiile stilurilor de leadership asupra performanțelor angajaților
Authors: Barbu Cosmin-Florin
Published: September 2024

Leadership-ul este caracterizat prin trăsături precum ambiția și carisma. Totodată, deține rolul esențial de motivare a echipei pentru atingerea obiectivelor propuse. Deși adesea este asociat cu management, leadership-ul se distinge prin accentul pus pe valori și utilizarea autorității informale. Motivarea și dezvoltarea continuă a angajaților reprezintă aspectele esențiale ce conduc către succes organizația. Atingerea obiectivelor organizaționale, precum creșterea profitului, este direct legată de performanța angajaților. Pentru a atinge obiectivele organizației, liderii trebuie să identifice corect stilul de leadership ce se potrivește pentru echipa respectivă. Comunicarea eficientă, delegarea responsabilităților, participarea la luarea deciziilor și oferirea feedback-ului sunt doar câteva aspecte ce definesc leadership-ul eficient. Scopul cercetării este de a investiga implicațiile stilurilor de leadership (autocratic/autoritar, participativ și laissez-faire) asupra performanțelor angajaților în contextul organizațiilor din România. Pentru a putea atinge scopul propus, metodologia de cercetare a constat în aplicare unui chestionar, distribuit aleatoriu angajaților. În final, au fost înregistrate 108 răspunsuri. După analizarea acestora, folosind regresia liniară, am ajuns la concluzia că stilul autoritar este mai puțin utilizat în mediul managerial. Totuși, chiar dacă este puțin utilizat, acesta prezintă rezultate pozitive. Stilul participativ este utilizat într-o mare măsură de liderii și managerii din România. Acest stil are un efect pozitiv asupra performanțelor angajaților prin activități precum creșterea creativității. În contrast, stilul laissez-faire este foarte rar întâlnit în practică și are un impact negativ asupra performanțelor angajaților deoarece aceștia preferă un stil de leadership activ.

Forbidden Hajj Fatwa: the Islamic Legal Thought of KH. Hasyim Asy'ari and its Relevance to the Present Time
Authors: Rozihan
Published: September 2024

Purpose: Maslaha, or benefit, is integral to Islamic law, encapsulating the objectives of Shariah. Imam Asy-Syatibi's categorization of necessities (dharuriyyat) guides this analysis, focusing on aspects crucial for societal well-being. Concept of Maslaha in the Fatwa of KH. Hasyim Asy’ari Regarding the Temporary Ban on Hajj: The fatwa addresses necessities (dharuriyyat), including safeguarding religion, life, intellect, progeny, and wealth. By temporarily halting Hajj to preserve Indonesia's independence, Asy’ari's fatwa aligns with these essential needs.
 
Method: This research combines historical and legal approaches. Historical research involves heuristic, verification, interpretation, and historiography, while legal analysis delves into the fatwa's benefits using qualitative methods.
 
Results and Conclusion: Biography of KH. Hasyim Asy’ari reveals his upbringing, education, and contributions to Islamic scholarship and Indonesian nationalism. His fatwa, grounded in defending Islam and Indonesia, prohibited Hajj temporarily to thwart colonial threats. Data on Hajj pilgrims from 1946 to 1949 corroborate the impact of the fatwa. KH. Hasyim Asy'ari's fatwa on the temporary Hajj ban serves as a testament to Indonesia's struggle for independence. Legalistically, while it temporarily suspends individual obligation, it significantly contributes to the nation's benefit, safeguarding sovereignty for future generations.
 
Implications of the Research: The study delves into the historical and legal significance of the fatwa issued by KH. Hasyim Asy'ari in 1945, which temporarily banned the Hajj pilgrimage in Indonesia. This fatwa, later embodied in the Minister of Religion Decree No. 04 of 1947, holds considerable implications for understanding the legal aspects and benefits associated with it.
 
Originality/Value: The research offers a unique blend of historical and legal analysis, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of the fatwa and its implications for Indonesian society during a crucial period of defending independence. By applying the concept of maslaha (benefit) and examining the fatwa through the lens of essential needs (dharuriyyat), the study provides insights into how religious decrees can serve broader societal interests while addressing individual obligations. This holistic approach adds depth to the understanding of Islamic jurisprudence and its application in contemporary contexts, particularly in times of national crisis.

REFORMING THE IDEAL ELECTION LAW THROUGH THE OMNIBUS LAW
Authors: Bakri Rahmat , Sulbadana Sulbadana , Supriyadi Supriyadi , Purnamasari Andi Intan
Published: September 2024

The Omnibus Law concept consolidates multiple laws into a single legislative framework. In Indonesia, the regulation of elections is currently fragmented across separate laws for different types of elections and related sectoral laws. Consequently, various challenges often hamper its implementation. These challenges can be addressed by Omnibus Law which integrates all election-related laws into one comprehensive Election Law. This juridical-normative research examined this topic through legislative, conceptual, and case methods. The results of the analysis show that the Omnibus Law provides a solution to the overlapping regulations. In this context, Omnibus Law serves as a formal Gesetz within the legislative process and suggests that an ideal electoral system would merge the Election Law with relevant sectoral laws—such as the Population Administration Law, Political Party Law, Mass Organization Law, Administrative Court Law (PTUN), and Constitutional Court Law—into a unified legal framework.

Y hubo un día en que sus malas jugadas lo arrojaron por el abismo hasta el inevitable descenso. ¿Cómo pudo América sobreponerse a cada uno de los embates que lo castigaron con severidad y recuperar aquella grandeza de la que gozara antes de su debacle en el fútbol colombiano? Con testimonios inéditos de los protagonistas de la recuperación de uno de los clubes más importantes del país y de Suramérica, como Oreste Sangiovanni, Tulio Gómez, Tucho Ortiz, Hernán Torres, Camilo Ayala, Tecla Farías, Alexandre Guimarães y Juan Cruz, el periodista y escritor César Polanía entrega este magnífico relato que revela los hechos que se fueron sumando, desde distintas orillas, hasta devolver al Diablo al cielo. Esta es una pieza periodística narrativa construida a través de entrevistas con personajes que grabaron su nombre en la historia del América y se convirtieron en una especie de Los ángeles del Diablo.
Lenguaje y razón. La construcción de la racionalidad comunicativa en Habermas.
Authors: Posada Gómez Pedro
Published: September 2024

Este texto pretende bosquejar un panorama del pensamiento de Jürgen Habermas siguiendo el hilo conductor de la formulación de un nuevo concepto de razón, como razón comunicativa. Este tema central lleva ligados varios temas como la relación entre racionalidad y lenguaje, las implicaciones del giro lingüístico y pragmático en la filosofía, la racionalidad de la acción individual y social, la discusión racional de los asuntos de la razón práctica (en la moral, el derecho o la política). Se presentan las implicaciones para la ética y la pedagogía del pensamiento de Habermas. El libro consta de seis capítulos organizados en dos partes: la primera muestra el recorrido intelectual de Habermas desde su trabajo clásico sobre la esfera pública y la teoría de los intereses del conocimiento, hasta la formulación de las bases de su teoría como una pragmática formal universal, a consecuencia de asumir las implicaciones del giro lingüístico y pragmático en la filosofía europea. La segunda parte entra en la formulación de la teoría de la acción comunicativa (TAC), eje principal de la teoría de la racionalidad comunicativa, y pasa enseguida a mostrar la aplicación de este modelo en el análisis de la ética y en la formulación de una teoría general de la argumentación. Como apéndices se introducen, además de una presentación de la Escuela de Fráncfort, algunos desarrollos particulares de la aplicación de la TAC en la pedagogía, en la ética, en la filosofía del lenguaje y en la filosofía en general.
Comparative analysis of various nanomaterials mixed with WCO biodiesel on CI engine’s performance and emissions
Authors: Bagawan Altaf Hussain , Ali Syed Abbas
Published: September 2024

The experimental investigations of performance and emission parameters of a compression ignition (CI) engine run by waste cooking oil (WCO) biodiesel dispersed with nanomaterials. The nanomaterials, Cerium oxide, Magnesium oxide, and Aluminium oxide of 30 ppm and 40 ppm dosages are mixed with the 20% of WCO biodiesel and diesel using an ultrasonicator. The performance and emission parameters are investigated by running the CI engine at constant speed for different loads. Based on the conducted experiments, it has been observed that the improvement in performance emission characteristics of CI engines is due to the addition of Cerium oxide, Magnesium oxide, and Aluminium oxide nanomaterials at 30 ppm and 40 ppm dosages of 20% WCO nanoparticles compared with that of diesel. It can therefore be concluded that adding nanomaterials in higher doses enhances CI engine performance and emissions.

Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis (OHVIRA) syndrome is a rare complex of structural abnormalities of the female urogenital tract characterized by uterus didelphys, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal anomaly. In this article, we report a case of an 11-year-old girl who presented with pain in lower abdomen since the onset of menarche 8 months back. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed uterus didelphys, hematometrocolpos, hematosalpinx, obstructed hemivagina, and left renal agenesis. There was an associated dilated, tortuous tubular structure with hemorrhagic contents in the midline in the pouch of douglas, with a proximal blind end in the left paravertebral region and distal ectopic insertion in the cervix (hematocolpos) suggestive of blind ectopic hemato-megaureter. To the best of our knowledge, there are very few reported cases of associated blind hemato-megaureter with ectopic insertion into the cervix in a case of OHVIRA syndrome. Imaging findings were confirmed on diagnostic laparoscopy with vaginoscopy and cystoscopy.

This comprehensive analysis delves into the series of Nipah virus (NiV) outbreaks across India, with a particular focus on occurrences in Kerala. NiV, which belongs to the Paromyxoviridae family and Henipavirus genus, originated in Malaysia in 1998 and has consistently posed significant global health threats. In India, NiV outbreaks have sporadically emerged since the initial case in West Bengal in 2001, often with alarming mortality rates. The 2018 resurgence in Kerala exhibited an astonishing case fatality rate of 89%, emphasizing the need for tailored diagnostic and management strategies due to substantial variability in the incubation period and clinical manifestations. Understanding the predominant person-to-person transmission underscores the importance of comprehending transmission dynamics. Early detection, facilitated by the Integrated Disease Surveillance Program (IDSP), remains vital, as treatment options are currently confined to supportive care, necessitating the exploration of more effective therapeutics. The sporadic nature of NiV outbreaks, exemplified by the recent Kerala episode, emphasizes the urgency for robust response mechanisms, while collaborative efforts and capacity-building initiatives are essential for effectively managing these occurrences. Continued focus on prompt detection, advanced laboratory testing, accessibility to cutting-edge facilities, and heightened infection control measures remains imperative to mitigate future incidents.

Objective:

The objective of this study was to study the presence and incidence of anatomical variations of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) by angiogram and its surgical relevance.

Materials and Methods:

In patients with coronary artery disease, who were referred for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), we evaluated the LIMA while performing coronary angiogram. The study involved evaluation of differences in origin, course, branches, and level and type of termination of the LIMA.

Results:

LIMA was assessed angiographically in 500 patients who underwent CABG surgery. Anatomical variations were observed in 150 patients (30%). Ectopic origin of LIMA from the third part of the Subclavian artery was seen in 3 patients (0.6%). Eighteen patients (3.6%) had common origin of LIMA from thyrocervical trunk. LIMA had a tortuous course with loops and bends in 65 cases (13%). A large lateral costal branch from the proximal part of LIMA supplying the lateral chest wall was seen in 60 cases (12%). In all patients, LIMA was found to terminate as a bifurcation at or beyond the 6th rib.

Conclusion:

Angiographic evaluation of the LIMA can highlight the anatomical variations of the LIMA thereby forewarns and enables the surgeon to make a safe harvest of the LIMA. LIMA is the primary conduit of choice for CABG operations due to the longevity of the conduit. If a prominent lateral costal branch is left unclipped, it may cause internal mammary artery steal. Ectopic origin and tortuous course can endanger the LIMA during harvest. Prior knowledge of the LIMA variations visualized during angiogram will enable the surgeon to anticipate and take adequate precautions for a safe LIMA harvest.

Published: September 2024

Neurological complications in Leptospirosis are rare, and may manifest early and late also. We present atypical delayed neurological complication of Leptospira as Guillain Barre Syndrome. A 51 year old diabetic presented with high-grade intermittent fever with chills associated with shortness of breath, vomiting and diarrhea, and reduced urinary output. His septic shock and severe sepsis caused lead to acute kidney injury, hepatitis, and left ventricular dysfunction. On investigation Leptospiral IgM antibodies was positive. He was managed with antibiotics, continues reno-replacement therapy, and mechanical ventilation support. Following his recovery from Leptospira-related systemic problems, he developed quadriparesis with truncal weakness and areflexia without sensory involvement. Nerve conduction study suggested polyneuropathy involving bilateral upper and lower limbs with sparing of sural nerve and impersistent F wave. He was diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome and was treated with Immunoglobulins 150 grams over the course of five days. He improved and gained independence in all spheres of life. Leptospirosis is a potentially serious illness, often results in multi-organ failure and necessitates ICU admission. Initial signs and symptoms and routine laboratory investigations can be nonspecific. Because neurological problems are uncommon and often take time to show, it is imperative to monitor these individuals.
Noma - Africa’s “face of poverty”
Authors: Tucker Maizie
Published: September 2024

Today, the most common chronic disease is dental caries or cavities. It is the dreaded conversation you have with your dentist, where they try to convince you that flossing does more than make your gums bleed. However, in places other than the United States, a different oral disease is doing a lot more than being a nuisance. Instead, it is causing hundreds of children to die or be debilitated by sores and holes in their faces. Noma, a disease that is not a household name, deserves to be heard and needs more research attention to eradicate it.

Objectives:

Social media has significant potential to improve education. Social networks serve as invaluable yet often overlooked educational tools, benefiting trainees and experienced clinicians. In the health-care sector, social media makes it easier to share information where gaps in knowledge exist, giving a holistic picture. There is a deficit in information regarding social media usage and smartphones among dental undergraduates. Hence, this study aimed to assess and evaluate the social media usage of dental undergraduates and postgraduates in Davanagere City, Karnataka.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted in College of Dental Sciences, Davanagere, Karnataka, India. The participants’ responses were then computed into a Microsoft Excel worksheet, evaluated with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, IBM version 21.0, and interpreted. Descriptive statistics were performed.

Results:

A total of 268 participants participated. About 77.2% were female (n = 206) and 22.8% were male (n = 61). There was found to be a lack of awareness regarding dental health education apps which is indicative of the need to include more application-based academic curricula strengthened by recent advances in technology.

Conclusion:

The study found a great increase in smart phones as well as social media among dental students but there is a great need to raise awareness among students regarding subject related databases.
DNA Barcoding of Docotettix cornutus Ribaut, 1948 (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)
Authors: Avtaş Sema , Yıldırım Eyyüp Mennan
Published: September 2024

Docotettix cornutus Ribaut 1948 (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) is a species that can cause economic damage to crops such as tomato, olive, pomegranate, and maize and is distributed worldwide. Since morphological identification is very difficult due to the small size of this pest there is a lack of experts and no record of molecular identification, DNA barcoding was aimed. In this study, D. cornutus was collected from pomegranate orchards in Aydın, İzmir and Manisa provinces (Türkiye) using Japanese umbrellas and suction tubes. After morphological identification of the species, HCO/ LCO universal primers were used to amplify the COI gene region of the specimen, and healthy reads were made between 499 bp (SE05) and 675 bp (SE07). Sequence analysis of the specimen was performed by Triogen Biotechnology (Istanbul-Türkiye). D. cornutus was registered in Genebank for the first time and a GeneBank accession number was obtained. When the specimens were compared with other registered specimens in the BLAST module at NCBI, it was seen that the closest species to D. cornutus was Synophropsis lauri.
Assessment of the permafrost landscapes stability in Eastern Siberia: the case of Yakutia
Authors: Kalinicheva S. V.
Published: September 2024

The article provides an assessment of the stability of permafrost landscapes by two criteria: temperature and ice content of ground. The methods of assessing the stability of landscapes are presented: the Parmuzin scale, developed by him during the zoning of the north of Western Siberia by the potential possibility of thermokarst development and the Grave principle, on the basis of which a map scheme of the Yakut ASSR was previously compiled by the degree of surface sensitivity to technogenic impacts. Using the two presented methods of Parmuzin and Grave, based on the Permafrost-landscape map of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) on a scale of 1: 1,500,000, as well as maps of ground temperature of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) at the depth of the layer of annual fluctuations and ice content of surface deposits, landscape stability maps were compiled, the territory of Yakutia was divided into zones according to the degree of resistance to technogenic impacts. On the map compiled according to the Parmuzin method, landscapes according to the degree of resistance to technogenic impacts are differentiated into four gradations: unstable, relatively unstable, relatively stable and stable. Thus, according to this method, unstable landscapes occupy the smallest area of ​​the study territory and are distributed mainly in the region with insular and discontinuous distribution of permafrost. Landscapes of the Central Yakut Plain, Prilenskoye Plateau and other lowlands with continuous permafrost distribution are characterized as relatively unstable. Relatively stable landscapes occupy the predominant part of Yakutia. Landscapes of mountainous regions are characterized as stable. According to the Grave method, landscapes on the map are divided into three gradations: relatively unstable, relatively stable and stable. According to the above-mentioned method, the territory of Central Yakutia, located in the area of ​​highly icy soils and coastal arctic zones, is characterized as relatively unstable. The rest of the territory is assessed as relatively stable and stable.
Random Tests with Enumeration of Instruction Classes

Преимущество генераторов случайных тестов в простоте применения и возможности выдачи больших объемов кода. Стохастическое тестирование выявляет как обычные, так и специфические ошибки (редкие сочетания и недочеты спецификации). При этом увеличение покрытия теста не зависит прямо от управления генератором. Перебор размещений из n классов инструкций по k позволяет получить покрытие по соответствующим комбинациям инструкций при приемлемых размерах кода.

The advantage of random test generators is ease of use and the ability to issue large amounts of code. Stochastic testing reveals both ordinary and specific errors (rare combinations and specification flaws). At the same time, the increase in test coverage does not directly depend on the generator control parameters. Enumeration of placements of n instruction classes by k allows to obtain coverage for the corresponding combinations of instructions with acceptable code size.
