Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Noreyko Larisa
Published: February 2022

The article discusses the features and content of foreign language education. The article examines the Eastern tradition of education in order to identify the difficulties of adapting students-representatives of the Eastern educational culture in the new academic environment. The role of the studied language and its teaching methods in the process of adaptation to new learning conditions is determined. A number of methodological actions are proposed to speed up and facilitate the understanding and acceptance of a new model of foreign language learning for speakers of a different culture. Special attention is paid to the formation of students’ subjective motivation and their interest in the results of new knowledge and self-development.

Navidezna idiličnost ruralnih okolij
Authors: Potočnik Ajda , Kos Evelina , Hercigonja Maja
Published: February 2022

Na splošno velja, da je kriminaliteta v večji meri prisotna na območju velikih mest, kjer je velika gostota ljudi in s tem posledično večja verjetnost storitve kaznivih dejanj. Vendar glede na dostopne podatke v Sloveniji analize kažejo, da je velika prisotnost kaznivih dejanj tudi na podeželju. Vzroki za kazniva dejanja so različni, od oslabljene družbene kulture do posebnih družbenih struktur in procesov. Pogost razlog kaznivih dejanj so tudi posebni odnosi med prebivalci na podeželju. Na primer razni predsodki do tujcev, ki vključujejo tudi rasizem, so s stigmatizacijo ljudi pogost problem. Kriminaliteta na podeželju je tema, ki je še v fazi razvoja. Obstajajo znaki, da je tema vedno bolj prepoznavna in vredna akademskega preučevanja. Dodatne, poglobljene in usmerjene, študije kriminalitete na podeželju v različnih državah lahko razširijo naše razumevanje kriminalitete.
Medosebno nasilje v ruralnih okoljih
Authors: Hodžić Belma , Marčič Eva , Rednak Taja , Ropoša Kiara , Tratnik Blažka
Published: February 2022

V ruralnih okoljih se soočajo s pomanjkanjem javnih storitev, kamor spadajo zdravstvo, sodstvo, izobraževalne ustanove in institucije za pomoč žrtvam nasilja, kar vpliva na odzivanje žrtev, saj jim območje daje manj priložnosti za prijavo zlorabe ali iskanje pomoči. Obenem marsikje ni urejen javni transport, ki pa je ključnega pomena v primerih, ko žrtve ne morejo dobiti pomoči oziroma le-ta ni ustrezna. Nasilja v ruralnih okoljih velikokrat ne prepoznajo in se posledično normalizira, še posebej, ko govorimo o psihičnem nasilju. Problem predstavlja tudi pomanjkljivo ozaveščanje o pomenu medosebnega nasilja, zlasti med starejšimi. Ruralna okolja se soočajo z neprijavljanjem nasilja, poleg tega se žrtve soočajo s pomanjkanjem pomoči strokovnih služb na tem področju. Razpršenost podeželja onemogoča represivnim organom, da bi se seznanili s problematiko družinskega nasilja ter posledično ustrezno ukrepali.
Vloga policije pri zagotavljanju varnosti v ruralnih okoljih
Authors: Jelovčan Luka , Kodrič Žiga , Lobnikar Teja , Moškerc Ula
Published: February 2022

Preučevanje kriminalitete in policijskega dela v ruralnih okoljih je relativno nova raziskovalna sfera. Če se je v preteklosti večina pozornosti usmerjala na delo policije v urbanih okoljih, sodobni kriminologi vedno več pozornosti namenjajo razločevanju policijskega dela v urbanih ter ruralnih okoljih, pri čemer je aktivna tudi Slovenija. Da bi ugotovili, kakšno je aktualno stanje na področju policijskega dela v ruralnih okoljih v Sloveniji, smo izvedli pregled literature, v katerega smo vključili pregled dosedanjih raziskav, podatke iz policijskih statistik, poročil in ostalih virov, ki prikažejo aktualno stanje v praksi. Ugotovili smo, da slovenska ruralna okolja omogočajo primerno okolje za izvajanje policijskega dela v skupnosti, vendar policijska statistika tega ne odraža. Policisti v ruralnem okolju predstavljajo primarno institucijo, ki je odgovorna za zagotavljanje varnosti. Policisti se pri svojem delu soočajo s specifičnostjo okolja, kaznivih dejanj ter z različnimi neformalnimi pritiski lokalnih skupnosti.
Wykonanie zastępcze a odliczenie VAT
Authors: Majszczyk Hanna
Published: February 2022

Przedmiotem artykułu są zagadnienia związane z prawem do odliczenia podatku od towarów i usług (VAT) w związku z nabyciem przez podatnika VAT towarów lub usług od wykonawców zastępczych. Autorka wskazuje wiele wątpliwości wynikających ze stanowiska zajmowanego w tej sprawie przez organy podatkowe, które kwestionują prawo podatnika do odliczenia VAT w takich przypadkach. Ponadto zwraca uwagę, że przyjęte przez organy podatkowe stanowisko, zgodnie z którym nabycie towarów i usług od wykonawców zastępczych z założenia nie jest związane z działalnością gospodarczą podatnika, lecz z czynnościami niepodlegającymi opodatkowaniu VAT, a w konsekwencji VAT od nabytych towarów i usług nie podlega odliczeniu – jest błędne. W artkule wskazuje się, że nabycie w warunkach wykonania zastępczego jest związane z działalnością gospodarczą podatnika i służy bezpośrednio realizacji tej działalności. Nie zmienia się bowiem przeznaczenie nabywanych przez podatnika towarów i usług. Jeżeli nabycie towarów lub usług od pierwotnie wybranego wykonawcy byłoby związane z działalnością gospodarczą podatnika, to nabycie towarów lub usług od wykonawców zastępczych również będzie z tą działalnością związane. Zmiana podmiotu realizującego usługi (dokonującego dostawy) nie zmienia celu ich nabycia przez podatnika ani ich związku z prowadzoną przez niego działalnością gospodarczą. Podatnik powinien mieć prawo do odliczenia VAT w związku z nabyciem w warunkach wykonania zastępczego. Prawo podatnika do odliczenia VAT powinno mieć przełożenie na wysokość rekompensaty od dłużnika (niesolidnego wykonawcy) z tytułu wykonania zastępczego, a nie odwrotnie.
Biografie w rozmowie. Narracyjno-dyskursywne podejście badawcze
Authors: Taylor Stephanie , Littleton Karen
Published: February 2022

W artykule pokazujemy, jaki wkład może wnieść syntetyczne podejście narracyjno-dyskursywne do zrozumienia biograficznej pracy dokonującej się podczas wywiadu badawczego. Skupiamy się na pracy biograficznej jako części trwającego, interaktywnego procesu, w wyniku którego przyjmowane są tożsamości. Jest to szczególnie ważne dla ludzi, którzy, na przykład, wkraczają na ścieżkę nowej kariery i mogą być postrzegani jako „nowicjusze” w tym sensie, że konstruują nowe tożsamości i domagają się ich uznania. Po zaprezentowaniu teoretycznych i metodologicznych założeń narracji, analizy dyskursu i prac reprezentujących podejście dyskursywne w psychologii społecznej (Bruner 1990; Edley 2001; Potter and Wetherell 1987; Wetherell 1998), przedstawiamy analizę wypowiedzi biograficznych uzyskanych w trakcie wywiadów ze studentami kierunku Sztuka i Projektowanie. Interesuje nas ich praca nad tożsamością, a także dokonywana przez nich, jako nowicjuszy w swojej dziedzinie, praca biograficzna. W tekście ilustrujemy obrane podejście i kluczowe pojęcia analityczne, czyli pojęcia podzielanych zasobów dyskursywnych, takich jak repertuary interpretacyjne (Edley 2001) i kanoniczne narracje (Bruner 1991), oraz pojęcie problematycznych tożsamości (troubled identities) (Wetherell i Edley 1998; Taylor 2005a). Analiza pokazuje jak relacje biograficzne (accounts) rozmówców są kształtowane i ograniczane przez znaczenia, które funkcjonują w szerszym kontekście społecznym. W przypadku uczestników naszych badań, obejmują one powszechnie przyjęte interpretacje (.established understandings) natury i początków artystycznej lub kreatywnej tożsamości, i związanej z nią trajektorii biograficznej. Szczególny nacisk w naszym podejściu kładziemy na pokazanie, jak w refleksyjnych staraniach rozmówcy konstruującego narrację biograficzną, wersje stworzone w poprzednich wypowiedziach stają się ograniczeniem i źródłem ciągłości biografii.
Honoring Student “Voice” in Investigating Student Identity Development in a Narrative Study: A Methodological and Analytical Example
Authors: Lees Deborah , Van Zyl André
Published: February 2022

Multiple, interrelated narrative methods were employed in a doctoral study purposed to investigate the student identity development of seven first-year participants. This approach provided them with multiple opportunities to convey their unique first-year experiences and revealed rich understandings of how they constructed their identities at a private higher education provider in Johannesburg, South Africa. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that fostering the trust of participants ensured the formation of rich biographical narrative portraits through multiple narrative-type collection methods and forms of analyses, resulting in rich tapestries of personal experience, which were constitutive of their identity formation. Each participant’s narratives revealed their particularities, complexities, and unique experiences of their first year. Although each participant experienced their first year of study very differently, this article weaves in the first-year experiences of one person into its fabric. The narrations of Kondwani (pseudonym), a Zambian student, are used to illustrate how her voice emerged and was held in a trustful research relationship. Her case is representative of all the participants in that it is an exemplar to illustrate the richness of the individual narratives gleaned from carefully chosen methods and forms of analysis that were employed in the study.
Vocational Teacher Educators’ Role Identity: A Case Study in Malta
Authors: Said Alison
Published: February 2022

This paper gains a deeper understanding of the professional role identities of vocational teacher educators (VTEs) when compared with mainstream teacher educators (MTEs) in Malta. It is framed using identity theory from the structural symbolic interactionism perspective (Burke and Stets 2009). Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, adopting thematic analysis. Findings show that VTEs and MTEs underpin their teaching differently, influenced by the perceptions they have about their professional role identities. There is no “one size fits all” solution for each country, yet this study contributes to a field with a limited research base and offers new insights to identity theory.
The Impact of Traumatic Childbirth on Women’s Breastfeeding Experiences
Authors: Beck Cheryl Tatano
Published: February 2022

Background

Researchers are confirming that posttraumatic stress due to traumatic childbirth is significantly associated with lower rates of breastfeeding and low maternal attachment.

Purpose

The purpose of this secondary qualitative data analysis was to identify metaphorical expressions women use to describe the impact their birth trauma had on their breastfeeding experiences.

Methods

The primary dataset used to conduct this analysis was a descriptive phenomenological study that focused on birth trauma and breastfeeding experiences of 52 women from New Zealand, the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Metaphor Identification Procedure was used to identify metaphorical expressions.

Results

Six metaphors were identified. Breastfeeding after a traumatic birth is your head in a vise, an empty affair, mechanical, true grit, a guilt trip, and a form of forgiveness.

Conclusion

The six metaphors provide a new voice for women who are attempting to breastfeed following a traumatic birth. Perinatal and neonatal nurses need to be attentive to any of the metaphors new mothers are using to help identify women struggling with the aftermath of birth trauma.

Bildliche Narrativität – Erzählen mit Bildern
Authors: Rogner Frederik , Jenni Hanna , Collombert Philippe
Published: February 2022

Schon immer haben Bilder durch ihre Lebendigkeit und ihren dynamischen Charakter berührt. Doch wie vermögen unbewegte zweidimensionale Darstellungen solche Eindrücke hervorzurufen? Die Untersuchung geht den Ursachen dieser narrativen Wirkung von Bildern auf den Grund, die weit über die Frage hinausreicht, ob sie eine bestimmte Erzählung wiedergeben. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die reich dekorierten Kapellen der Privatgräber des ägyptischen Neuen Reiches (ca. 1550–1050 v. Chr.), aber auch die Bildprogramme der zeitgleichen Königsgräber und Tempel werden betrachtet. Dabei werden diverse Darstellungsmittel ägyptischer Künstler in den Blick genommen, von der kinetischen Ausarbeitung einzelner Figuren über die Schaffung kontinuierlicher Bildräume bis zur Schaffung komplexer Bildreihen. Durch die rezeptionsästhetische Kontextualisierung des Materials und seiner Wahrnehmung legt die Studie das gezielte Spiel mit der narrativen Wirkung der Bilder durch ihre Schöpfer offen. Sie wird abgeschlossen durch einen Blick auf verschiedene Anwendungsbereiche figürlicher Darstellungen, darunter auch das eigenständige Erzählen.
Cutaneous manifestations of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated vasculitis
Authors: Abdel-Halim Mona , Mahmoud Ayman , Ragab Gaafar
Published: February 2022

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a distinct group of systemic vasculitis with severe multi-organ involvement. It includes three types: granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA). Cutaneous manifestations are present at the time of presentation in around 35% of cases and are more frequently encountered in EGPA than in GPA or MPA. They can also occur during the course of the disease or mark a disease relapse. They can be classified into specific or non-specific according to the presence or absence of vasculitis, whether or not associated with granuloma, in skin biopsies. The most common presentation of vasculitic skin lesions in AAV is palpable purpura. Other manifestations include hemorrhagic blisters, tender subcutaneous nodules, livedo reticularis/racemosa, painful ulcers that may mimic pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), and digital gangrenes. A wide range of non-specific cutaneous manifestations can occur in association with AAV including urticarial rash, prurigo, sterile pustules, and oral lesions. The presence of cutaneous lesions is usually associated with severe organ involvement and systemic manifestations. Since skin lesions in AAV can occur in other types of vasculitis and in other disorders, attributing them to AAV requires meticulous clinical, laboratory, and serological correlation. Awareness of cutaneous lesions of AAV is important for all physicians working in the field of systemic vasculitis as a skin biopsy may provide an easy clue to diagnose AAV in such cases.
Navigation, mixed reality, and robotics in endoscopic spine surgery
Authors: Derman Peter B. , Satin Alexander M.
Published: February 2022

Endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) is an ultra-minimally invasive technique through which spinal pathology can be addressed via sub-centimeter incisions with negligible soft tissue disruption. However, concerns exist regarding the steep learning curve, operative time, and radiation exposure to the surgical team. The use of intraoperative navigation, mixed reality, and robotics in the setting of ESS is currently being explored, and the early evidence suggests that such technologies may help mitigate these issues. The application of these technologies in ESS as well as the associated literature is reviewed herein.

Authors: Hanson Melissa N. , Dennis Samuel , Altieri Maria S. , Andalib Amin
Published: February 2022

Bariatric surgery is the cornerstone of treatment for severe obesity. In evaluating patients for such procedures, surgeons must be aware of the potential complications, including post-operative gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD). This review article outlines the current literature regarding GERD prior to and after bariatric surgery. It aims to establish a framework for evaluating and managing GERD in both the pre- and post-operative setting for common bariatric procedures such as the sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, adjustable gastric band, duodenal switch type procedures as well as one-anastomosis gastric bypass. This review also outlines the latest recommendations from major international bariatric societies for screening prior to surgery, the incidence of GERD after each respective procedure and a summary of current trends in the management of post-operative GERD after bariatric surgery.
Wood Burial is Currently the Only Fast and Effective Method of Carbon Neutrality
Authors: Xu Kai
Published: February 2022

In this study, we analyzed the feasibility of various carbon neutrality methods based on the first principles of carbon sequestration, namely energy use efficiency and elemental stoichiometry. We believe that wood burial is the only currently feasible carbon neutrality method because this method has no theoretical uncertainties, can be implemented immediately on a large scale, has a long sequestration time, low cost, low technical requirements, and relatively little impact on agriculture.

Published: February 2022

The Philippine shrimp industry has been affected by the impacts of marine pollution, diseases and climate change variabilities. This study assessed the vulnerability to climate change of selected small-scale shrimp farms of Penaeus vannamei and market vendors in Davao, Philippines using a modified Fisheries Vulnerability Assessment Tool (FishVool). Shrimp farmers and vendors were interviewed using two separate semi-structured questionnaires. A total of thirty nine (39) shrimp farmers and forty eight (48) market vendors from various market areas within the region were interviewed. Data regarding exposure (E), sensitivity (S), and adaptive capacity (AC) were collected following the FishVool parameters with modifications. Results revealed that overall climate change vulnerability of the shrimp farmers was medium (M), where both exposure and adaptive capacity were low (L) while sensitivity was medium (M). In addition, the shrimp market vulnerability of the various sites examined revealed medium (M) scores for markets in Pantukan, Mabini, Tagum, Maco, Lupon, Davao City, and Digos. But high (H) vulnerability scores for the markets in Panabo and Sta Cruz. Overall, the study provided a better understanding about shrimp farming in relation to climate change impacts and vulnerability and provided information for future shrimp farm management, marketing and conservation in the region.
Knowledge Graph Embedding for Link Prediction Models
Authors: Ur Rehman Ehtisham , Saeed Aamir , Minallah Nasru , Hafeez Abdul
Published: February 2022

For disciplines like biological science, security, and the medical field, link prediction is a popular research area. To demonstrate the link prediction many methods have been proposed. Some of them that have been demonstrated through this review paper are TransE, Complex, DistMult, and DensE models. Each model defines link prediction with different perceptions. We argue that the practical performance potential of these methods, having similar parameter values, using the fine-tuning technique to evaluate their reliability and reproducibility of results. We describe those methods and experiments; provide theoretical proofs and experimental examples, demonstrating how current link prediction methods work in such settings. We use the standard evaluation metrics for testing the model's ability.
An Engineered Toolkit for Precise Spatiotemporal Regulation of Protein Nucleo-cytoplasmic Distribution Derived From Programmable RfA1 Sequence
Authors: Song Junyi , Liu Chuanyang , Li Baoshan , Liu Liangcheng , Zeng Ling , Ye Zonghuang , Wu Wenjian , Lingyun Zhu , Hu Biru
Published: February 2022

Proteins, as gifts from nature, provide structure, sequence, and function templates for designing biomaterials. Here, we reported an engineered toolkit derived from a natural block copolymer, RfA1. RfA1 is composed of positively charged polyelectrolyte linker regions interspersed with highly conserved polyampholyte motifs. These linkers and motifs are constructional fragments and ready-to-use building blocks for synthetic design and construction. One functional and editable feature of RfA1 derivatives is their preferential distribution to cytoplasm or nucleoplasm, in a fragment-replication-determined manner. Based on this property, a prices spatiotemporal Tet-on demo was established, which effectively transports cargo peptides into nuclei at selective time points. Moreover, the functional homogeneities of either motifs or linkers were also verified, making them standardized building blocks for synthetic biology. In summary, this study provides a modularized, orthotropic and well-characterized toolkit for precise and spatiotemporal regulation of protein nucleocytoplasmic localization.
Desynchronization of Clocks in Rigid Acceleration and Gravitational Redshift
Authors: Şahin İnanç
Published: February 2022

In this paper, we examine the prediction of the theory of relativity for the desynchronization of accelerating clocks separated by a proper distance l. We adopt the approach of Larmor-Lorentz-Poincaré-Bell to relativity and derive clock desynchronization as a result of an acceleration procedure based on two basic assumptions. We show that contrary to expectations, as a result of acceleration, the rear clock actually shifted backwards with respect to the front clock according to an inertial observer. However, due to Einstein’s equivalence principle the accelerating observer feels a gravitational field and observes that the rear clock undergoes a gravitational redshift relative to the front clock. This gravitational time shift is larger than the time shift for the acceleration and the difference is exactly equal to the special relativistic time shift. Eventually, we arrive at the conclusion that Einstein’s equivalence principle and gravitational redshift is necessary to explain special relativistic clock desynchronization.

Published: February 2022

We demonstrated the role of natural probiotics 3L, 3 Lactobacilli, in the establishment of a strong and sustainable beneficial healthy gut flora, after chemotherapy through experimental results through in vivo model. Using rat CTX model (immunosuppression induced by cyclophosphamide), we suggested some new adjuvant to chemotherapy as drugs + lactobacillus treament. Further, we proposed a new probiotic formulation (L. acidophilus + L. casei + L. plantarum) to be explored in the prevention of health condition loss by alteration of the general immune system, in numerous studies that reported the use of probiotics involving Lactobacillus in the post-chemo or post-surgical procedures. Here, in our study, Illumina MiSeq sequencing was used to generate sequencing data from microbial genomic DNA libraries, which is appreciable to check for the effects of 3L on bacteria. Microbiome analysis, phylogenetic and classification reports, community data have supported the experiments and the results where 3L had strong beneficial effects on the microbiome. Further, the influence on specific metabolic pathways are assisted in deriving the conclusion of the study (use of 3L for cancer therapy) to the mode of action, mechanistically by correcting microbiota composition and enhancing specific gut metabolic functions.
A Parametric Approach to Molecular Encodings of Carbon-based Multilevel Atomic Neighborhoods
Authors: Hattab Georges , Neumann Nils , Anžel Aleksandar , Heider Dominik
Published: February 2022

Exploring new ways to represent and discover organic molecules is critical for developing novel therapies. With recent advances in bioinformatics, virtual screening of databases is possible. However, biochemical data must be encoded using computer algorithms to make them machine-readable, taking into account distance and similarity measures to support tasks such as similarity searching. Motivated by the ubiquity of the carbon element and the structured patterns that emerge, we propose a parametric approach to molecular encodings of carbon-based multilevel atomic neighborhoods. It implements a walk along the carbon chain of an organic molecule to compute different representations of its feature encoding in the form of a binary or numerical array that can be exported later into an image. Resulting encodings are reproducible and readily formatted for various domain tasks including machine learning tasks. This approach was evaluated using a 10-fold stratified cross validation for binary classification with eight data sets and six different encodings (384 models) in the domain knowledge of cell-penetrating peptides. The parametric approach is built on open-source software and is implemented as a Python package (cmangoes). Source code and documentation are available at https://github.com/ghattab/cmangoes.

Authors: Sutanto Henry , Santoso Djoko
Published: February 2022

The 2019 Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Since late November 2021, Omicron variant has emerged as the primary cause of COVID-19 and caused a huge increase in the reported incidence around the world. To date, 32-34 spike mutations have been reported, 15 of which were located in the receptor-binding domain that interacts with the cell surface of the host cells, while the rest were located in the N-terminal domain and around the Furin cleavage site. At present, both the genomic and clinical profiles of this novel variant are being investigated. Here, we aim to discuss the recent reports on the transmissibility and severity of Omicron variant from both the genetic and clinical perspectives. Afterward, we also take the chance to deliver our personal view on the topic.

This article analyzes the determinants of the "Broadband Price Index" in Europe. The data used refer to 28 European countries between 2016 and 2021. The database used is the Digital, Economy and Society Index-DESI of the European Commission. The data were analyzed using the following econometric techniques, namely Panel Data with Random Effects, Panel Data with Fixed Effects, Pooled OLS, WLS and Dynamic Panel. The value of the "Broadband Price Index" is positively associated with the DESI Index, and "Connectivity" while it is negatively associated with "Fixed Broadband Take Up", "Fixed Broadband Coverage", "Mobile Broadband", "e-Government", "Advanced Skills and Development", "Integration of Digital Technology", "At Least Basic Digital Skills ", "Above Basic Digital Skills "," At Least Basic Software Skills ". A cluster analysis was carried out below using the k-Means algorithm optimized with the Silhouette coefficient. The analysis revealed the existence of three clusters. Finally, an analysis of the machine learning algorithms was carried out to predict the future value of the "Broadband Price Index". The result shows that the most useful algorithm for prediction is the Artificial Neural Network-ANN with an estimated value equal to an amount of 9.21%.
Randomized Clinical Trial Evaluating a Digital Gamified Acceptance and Commitment Early Intervention Program for Individuals at High-Risk for Eating Disorders
Authors: Karekla Maria , Nicolaou Patrisia , Merwin Rhonda
Published: February 2022

Eating Disorders (ED) constitute a serious public health issue affecting predominantly women and appearing typically in adolescence or early adulthood. EDs are extremely difficult to treat as these disorders are ego-syntonic and many patients do not seek treatment. It is vital to focus on the development of successful early-intervention programs for individuals presenting at-risk and are on a trajectory towards developing EDs. This study is a randomized controlled trial evalu-ating an innovative digital gamified Acceptance and Commitment early-intervention program (AcceptME) for young females showing signs and symptoms of an ED and at high-risk for an ED. Participants (N=92; Mage=15.30 years, SD=2.15) received either AcceptME (N=62) or a waitlist control (N=30). Analyses indicated that the AcceptME program effectively reduced weight and shape concerns, with large effects when compared to waitlist controls. Most participants scored below the at-risk cut-off (WCS score<52) in the AcceptME at end-of-intervention (57.1%) com-pared to controls (7.1%) with odds of falling into the at-risk group being 14.5 times higher for participants in the control group. At follow-up, 72% of completers reported scores below the at-risk cut-off in the AcceptME group. The intervention also resulted in a decrease in ED symp-tomatology and increased body image flexibility. Overall, results suggest that the AcceptME program holds promise for early-intervention of young women at-risk for developing an ED.

The results of studies of atmospheric pressure in the Arctic region of Russia for the period from 1948 to 2008 presented. The analysis of the climatic seasonal variation of the atmospheric pressure fields has been carried out. As the main research method, the probabilistic and statistical analysis of the time series of the pressure field during 60 years at fixed points in the region of the Arctic zone of Russia was used. In total, about 90,000 daily (with a six-hour interval) pressure values were studied. Based on these data, the climatic seasonal variability was constructed as an averaging of the values of a given time series at each point in space and for a fixed date. The characteristics of the seasonal cycle, its amplitude and phase have been analyzed. Those characteristics were studied and their geophysical interpretation was carried out. In particular, the minimum and maximum values of the series were determined for the entire region and the time series of these characteristics were constructed. It is shown that the deviation is asymmetrical in nature; this is an unobvious result of research. For the maximum and minimum, the best approximations were proposed, and these approximations were tested by known methods of statistical analysis, including maximum likelihood, least squares and goodness of fit methods (tests), in particular, the ?2 test. The performed study has applications both purely physical (allows to explain the nature, genesis and distribution of large-scale atmospheric formations in a climatic year) and prognostic (allows to understand and track trends in climate, as well as to quantitatively estimate the scale and variability of large-scale atmospheric processes). Numerical calculations were performed on the Lomonosov-2 supercomputer of the Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov.
From the database of publications to the WEB-system for accounting of scientists’ intellectual activity results
Authors: Vlasova Svetlana Aleksandrovna , Kalenov Nikolay Evgenevich
Published: February 2022

The article describes a WEB-system developed by the authors that implements services related to the formation and provision of multifaceted information about the results of scientific activities (publications, copyright certificates and reports at scientific events) of employees of an organization or a group of organizations. The system is focused both on the end user interested in obtaining specific data, and on the administrative staff, who generates reporting materials for the parent organization. The information base of the system contains metadata on the following classes of objects: persons (authors), organizations and their subdivisions; publications at analytical, monographic and summary levels; copyright certificates; scientific events (conferences, symposia, seminars); reports. The system includes two modules – an administrative one (intended for entering and editing data) and a user one, which is a special search engine that searches for information, visualizes it, provides navigation among related resources and exports data. A distinctive feature of the system is the introduced concept of “equivalent” objects. Objects are considered equivalent if they are represented in the system by different metadata, but referring to the same physical entity. Such objects are “persons” corresponding to one author with different spellings of the surname in the bibliographic descriptions of publications; organizations with different variants of names; articles published unchanged in various languages. In accordance with modern requirements for reporting on publications, the system reflects the sources of research funding, as well as the affiliations indicated in the articles for each author.
On Synonyms Search Model

Published: February 2022

The problem of finding the most relevant documents as a result of an extended and refined query is considered. To solve it, a search model and a text preprocessing mechanism are proposed. It is proposed to use a search engine and a model based on an index using word2vec algorithms to generate an extended query with synonyms. To refine the search results, the idea of selecting similar documents in the digital semantic library is used. The paper investigates the construction of a vector representation of documents in relation to the data array of the digital semantic library LibMeta. Each piece of text is labeled. Both the whole document and its separate parts can be marked. Search through the library content, search for new terms and new semantic relationships between terms of the subject area becomes more meaningful and accurate. The task of enriching user queries with synonyms was solved. When building a search model in conjunction with word2vec algorithms, a "indexing first, then learning" approach is used, which allows obtaining more accurate search results. This work can be considered one of the first stages in the formation of a training data array for the subject area of problems of mathematical physics and the formation of a dictionary of synonyms for this subject area. The model was trained on the basis of the library's mathematical content. Examples of training, extended query and search quality assessment using training and synonyms are given.
Semantic Library as a Tool of Defining a Scientific Subject Area
Authors: Ataeva Olga Muratovna , Serebryakov Vladimir Alekseevich
Published: February 2022

The paper considers an information system designed to represent the subject area associated with science and its features. Highlighted general concepts for the formal description of such a subject area in the knowledge base of the semantic library. The peculiarity of these areas is that the data structure is subject to frequent changes. Therefore, the tools of organizing knowledge, which is a semantic library, should be sufficiently universal and not require deep technical knowledge. The paper describes the functionality of the system and its use when setting up a subject area. For each area, the set of resources can differ both in format and in the set of the resources themselves. The set of concepts that form the description of the library's content should be so universal that it can be adapted to the needs of a particular area. Three levels of metadata are used to represent the data.

Published: February 2022

The technology of modeling various situations in virtual environment systems, which are computer tree-dimensional models of a real or artificial environment, is considered. The user can view these scenes directly on the computer screen, wall screen, stereo glasses, virtual reality glasses, etc. He can also move inside a virtual scene and interact with its objects. In turn, the environment can also change. This allows modeling of various situations (situational modeling) in the virtual environment system. With such modeling, some static or dynamic situation is set in the virtual environment system in which the operator must perform the tasks assigned to him. A mechanism for setting situations by changing a virtual three-dimensional scene using configuration files and virtual control panels is proposed. A special language and editor has been developed for writing configuration files and for creating virtual control panels. The approbation of the proposed methods is presented on the example of two virtual scenes: a training ground for mobile robots and a jet backpack of an astronaut in outer space.
