Situational and Trait Self-Handicapping among Grandiose and Vulnerable Narcissist
Authors: Bodroža Bojana , Mandarić Jovana , Milosavljević Miroslav
Published: April 2022

Self-handicapping is an effective strategy for self-enhancement and self-protection in situations in which one’s self-image is evaluated. Previous studies have shown that grandiose narcissists use self-handicapping for self-enhancement, while research on vulnerable narcissists’ use of self-handicapping is still scarce. In this study, we examined trait, behavioural, and proclaimed self-handicapping among the two forms of narcissism. After questionnaire measures were collected, a total of 105 individuals participated in the experimental study, in which they were led to believe they would be doing a hard or an easy ability test. The results showed that grandiose narcissism was only related to trait self-handicapping in achievement situations, while vulnerable narcissism was related to self-handicapping in interpersonal and achievement situations. Experimental results showed that participants did not seize the opportunity for behavioural or proclaimed self-handicapping. Moreover, the use of these strategies was not related to vulnerable or grandiose narcissism. The results are here discussed in the context of self-image maintenance dynamics of individuals with different levels of vulnerable and grandiose narcissism as well as methodological aspects of the study, and the validity of the concept of self-handicapping

Authors: Zhuravlyov* V. S. , Dolgikh V. V. , Timofeev S. A. , Gannibal F. B.
Published: April 2022

RNA-interference, or suppression of gene expression by small RNAs, was originally described in Caenorhabditis elegans in 1998 and is currently widely considered for use in plant protection. The use of double-stranded RNA molecules as an inducer of the RNA interference pathway in insect pests potentially allows employing them as active ingredients in modern pesticides. Genetically modified crops expressing dsRNA have been developed as commercial products with a great potential in insect pest management. Alternatively, some nontransformative approaches, including foliar spray and chemigation, are also suitable for practical applications. This review explains the mechanism of artificially induced RNA interference and existing strategies for the delivery of small RNAs to target insects within the framework of plant protection.

Authors: Yang Yue , Jin Lizuo
Published: April 2022

Due to the limited ability of feature expression learned by one branch, designing a Multi-granularity network for feature extraction has become one of the important directions in the field of person re-identification. This paper designs a Multi-granularity feature fusion network (MFN) to enhance person feature extraction. The network is composed of global branches and local branches, and the former use the convolution pyramid to extract multiple scales features, through the channel attention module (Split Attention, SA) fusion of global branches and local branches, so that the global branch to obtain a strong ability to express persons features; the local branches is a feature map extracted from the backbone network based on the idea of Part-based convolutional baseline. Split the feature map horizontally into 4 branches, and the ID loss is calculated separately for each local branch. The classification loss in the total loss is consist of the ID loss of the 4 local branches. The two interact in parallel to improve the recognition ability. The experimental results on the Market1501 and DukeMTMC-ReID datasets, Rank-1/mAP reached 94.9%/86.4% and 87.5%/76.8% respectively.

Authors: Kim Hyun ,   on behalf of the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, Levine Alina , Cohen Daniel , Gehrman Philip , Zhu Xi , Devanand Davangere P. , Lee Seonjoo , Goldberg Terry E.
Published: April 2022

Background: The association between sleep and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarkers are well-established, but little is known about how they interact to change the course of AD. Objective: To determine the potential interaction between sleep disturbance and Aβ, tau, and APOE4 on brain atrophy and cognitive decline. Methods: Sample included 351 participants (mean age 72.01 ± 6.67, 50.4%female) who were followed for approximately 5 years as part of the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative. Informant-reported sleep disturbance (IRSD) was measured using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI). Changes in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-measured AD signature brain regions and cognitive performance and IRSD’s interaction with cerebrospinal fluid amyloid-β (Aβ42) and p-Tau depositions and APOE4 status were examined using the linear mixed models. Results: Baseline IRSD was not significantly associated with the rate of atrophy after adjusting for covariates (age, sex, education, total NPI severity score, and sleep medications). However, there was a significant interaction between IRSD and AD biomarkers on faster atrophy rates in multiple brain regions, including the cortical and middle temporal volumes. Post-hoc analyses indicated that Aβ and p-Tau/Aβ predicted a faster decline in these regions/domains in IRSD, compared with biomarker-negative individuals with IRSD (ps≤0.001). There was a significant IRSD*APOE4 interaction for brain atrophy rate (ps≤0.02) but not for cognition. Conclusion: IRSD may increase the future risk of AD by contributing to faster brain atrophy and cognitive decline when combined with the presence of AD biomarkers and APOE4. Early intervention for sleep disturbance could help reduce the risk of developing AD.

Published: April 2022

Background: Recent studies have demonstrated the efficiency of collaborative dementia care, which aims to improve post-diagnostic support. However, tasks carried out of such models are currently unknown, hindering its implementation. Objective: To describe tasks of a collaborative model of dementia care, analyze the association between specific task subgroups and number of tasks with patients’ and caregivers’ characteristics and the impact of specific tasks on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods: The analysis was based on 183 persons with dementia (PwD) who received dementia care management conducted by dementia-specific qualified nurses. A standardized, computer-assisted assessment was used to identify patients’ and caregivers’ unmet needs. Tasks carried out to address unmet needs were documented, categorized, and descriptively analyzed. We used multivariate regression models to identify socio-demographic and clinical factors associated with a specific subgroup of tasks or a higher number of tasks. Results: On average, 20.5 tasks were carried out per dyad (PwD and caregiver). 41% of tasks were categorized to cooperation with other healthcare providers, 39% to nursing care, and 19% to social support. Lower HRQoL and higher age, cognitive impairment, deficits in daily living activities, and depressive symptoms were significantly associated with a higher number of tasks. A higher number of cooperation tasks were associated with a higher gain in HRQoL. Conclusion: Patients’ characteristics and HRQoL significantly determine the intensity of collaborative care interventions. Variability of the intensity should be considered in developing future studies and in the implementation into routine care. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01401582

Published: April 2022

Background: Dietary inflammatory index (DII) was associated with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and cognitive function impairment (CFI). Objective: The aim of this study was to explore whether the associations among DII, glycohemoglobin (HbA1c), and CFI were similar in the participants with or without diabetes. Methods: A total of 1,198 participants aged 60 and over from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in 2011–2014 were involved in this study, dividing into subgroups as diabetes and non-diabetes for further analysis. Results: We found that participants with pro-inflammatory diet had higher proportion of CFI patients (p < 0.05). Pro-inflammatory diet and HbA1c were positively associated with the risk of CFI; participants with pro-inflammatory diet was 1.479 times on occurrence of CFI compared with anti-inflammatory diet group. The interaction between inflammatory diet and HbA1c was positive on the risk of CFI and was negative on the CERAD-immediate and CERAD-delayed, respectively. Among the participants without diabetes, the associations of Energy-adjusted DII (E-DII) with Animal Fluency test and Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) were partially mediated by HbA1c, and the mediated proportion was 5.8% and 6.6%, respectively. However, there was no such mediation effect in the diabetes patients. Conclusion: In elderly participants without diabetes, there was an interaction between inflammatory diet and HbA1c on the association with CFI, especially for the dimension of CERAD-immediate and CERAD-delayed. Besides, the associations of E-DII with Animal Fluency test and DSST were partially mediated by HbA1c. For diabetic patients, HbA1c, rather than the inflammatory diet has a positive effect on the CFI risk.

Authors: Zhao Xing , Du Wenying , Jiang Jiehui , Han Ying
Published: April 2022

Background: Sleep appears to be a sensitive biomarker that facilitates early detection and effective intervention for Alzheimer’s disease, while subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. Prefrontal cortex atrophy is associated with both sleep disruption and cognitive decline. Transcranial brain photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy can enhance frontal cortex oxygen consumption, increasing frontal cortex mediated memory function. Objective: This study aimed to test whether PBM therapy targeting the frontal cortex could improve sleep and cognitive function in SCD. Methods: Fifty-eight SCDs were divided into the PBM group (N = 32) in which real light therapy was administered and a sham light therapy group (N = 26). All the participants received either real light or sham light therapy for 6 days consecutively, while the sleep data were recorded. The n-back task was employed to measure each participant’s working memory. Results: We found no differences in sleep efficiency change (F = 211, p = 0.279), REM stage percent change (F = 420, p = 0.91), and wake-up time (F = 212, p = 0.277) between the two groups. The sleep efficiency and REM were improved within the true light group on the fifth day. The true light group perform better than the control group in the n-back test, the accuracy was higher in the 2-back test (88.6% versus 79.6%, p = 0.001), and the reaction time in 1-back was shorter (544.80±202.00 versus 592.87±222.05, p = 0.003). Conclusion: After five days of PBM therapy targeting the prefrontal cortex, sleep efficiency and N-back cognitive performance were improved on the fifth day.
Oxysterols and Oxysterol Sulfates in Alzheimer’s Disease Brain and Cerebrospinal Fluid
Authors: Dias Irundika H.K. , Shokr Hala , Shephard Freya , Chakrabarti Lisa
Published: April 2022

Background: Brain cholesterol levels are tightly regulated but increasing evidence indicates that cholesterol metabolism may drive Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-associated pathological changes. Recent advances in understanding of mitochondrial dysfunction in AD brain have presented a vital role played by mitochondria in oxysterol biosynthesis and their involvement in pathophysiology. Oxysterol accumulation in brain is controlled by various enzymatic pathways including sulfation. While research into oxysterol is under the areas of active investigation, there is less evidence for oxysterol sulfate levels in human brain. Objective: This study investigates the hypothesis that AD brain oxysterol detoxification via sulfation is impaired in later stages of disease resulting in oxysterol accumulation. Methods: Lipids were extracted from postmortem frozen brain tissue and cerebrospinal (CSF) from late- (Braak stage III-IV) and early- (Braak stage I-II) stage AD patients. Samples were spiked with internal standards prior to lipid extraction. Oxysterols were enriched with a two-step solid phase extraction using a polymeric SPE column and further separation was achieved by LC-MS/MS. Results: Oxysterols, 26-hydroxycholesterol (26-OHC), 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-OHC), and 7-oxycholesterol levels were higher in brain tissue and mitochondria extracted from late-stage AD brain tissue except for 24S-hydroxycholesterol, which was decreased in late AD. However, oxysterol sulfates are significantly lower in the AD frontal cortex. Oxysterols, 25-OHC, and 7-oxocholesterol was higher is CSF but 26-OHC and oxysterol sulfate levels were not changed. Conclusion: Our results show oxysterol metabolism is altered in AD brain mitochondria, favoring synthesis of 26-OHC, 25-OHC, and 7-oxocholesterol, and this may influence brain mitochondrial function and acceleration of the disease.
Cerebrospinal Fluid sTREM2 Has Paradoxical Association with Brain Structural Damage Rate in Early- and Late-Stage Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Leng Fangda ,   on behalf of Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, Zhan Zhenying , Sun Yunchuang , Liu Fang , Edison Paul , Sun Yongan , Wang Zhaoxia
Published: April 2022

Background: Recently it has been proposed that microglial response has a stage-dependent effect on the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sTREM2 has emerged as a promising microglial activation marker. Objective: To test the stage-dependent role of microglia by studying the association between baseline sTREM2 and dynamic brain structural changes in AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients. Methods: 22 amyloid-β-positive (A+) and tau-positive (T+) AD and 24 A+T+MCI patients were identified from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative. The patients had baseline CSF amyloid-β, phosphorylated-tau, and sTREM2, and were followed up for at least one year by T1-weighted and diffusion tensor imaging scans. Gray matter volumes and white matter microstructural integrity were evaluated. Linear mixed models were applied to analyze how baseline sTREM2 may influence the rate of brain structural changes while adjusting for the effects of age, APOE4 status, and the CSF core markers. Results: In A+T+AD patients, baseline CSF sTREM2 was associated with faster mean diffusivity increase in the bilateral posterior corona radiata and right superior longitudinal fasciculus. In A+T+MCI patients, baseline CSF sTREM2 was associated slower gray matter volumetric loss in parahippocampal gyrus, left fusiform cortex, left middle temporal gyrus, and left lateral occipital cortex. Baseline CSF sTREM2 also had a protective effect against mean diffusivity increase in right inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, left superior longitudinal fasciculus, left forceps minor, and left uncinate fasciculus. Conclusion: Microglial activation at early stage might have a protective effect against neurodegeneration, while at late stage it might facilitate AD. Future efforts on modulating microglial activation could be promising, given a carefully selected time window for intervention.
Neural metamodelling of fields: Towards a new deal in computational electromagnetics
Authors: Di Barba Paolo , Mognaschi Maria Evelina , Wiak Slawomir
Published: April 2022

In computational electromagnetism there are manyfold advantages when using machine learning methods, because no mathematical formulation is required to solve the direct problem for given input geometry. Moreover, thanks to the inherent bidirectionality of a convolutional neural network, it can be trained to identify the geometry giving rise to the prescribed output field. All this puts the ground for the neural meta-modeling of fields, in spite of different levels of cost and accuracy. In the paper it is shown how CNNs can be trained to solve problems of optimal shape synthesis, with training data sets based on finite-element analyses of electric and magnetic fields. In particular, a concept of multi-fidelity model makes it possible to control both prediction accuracy and computational cost. The shape design of a MEMS design and the TEAM workshop problem 35 are considered as the case studies.
Sequential verb metaphor detection with linguistic theories
Authors: Zhang Liqiang , Yu Long , Tian Shengwei , Yang Qimeng
Published: April 2022

Metaphor plays an indispensable role in human life. Although sequence tagging models took advantage of linguistic theories of metaphor identification, the usage of metaphor in common words is not considered, when choosing the literal meaning of the target verbs. We present a novel approach to express the literal meaning subtly, combining the common usage and the inherent visualizability properties of words, termed GloVe embedding and visual embedding. Meanwhile, we import position information of the target verbs to gain the contextual meaning more accurately. Both two DNN models use these embeddings as inputs in this paper, which are inspired by two human metaphor identification procedures augmented with contextualized word representations (ELMo embedding). By testing on two public datasets, the results show improvement over previous state-of-the-art approaches. In addition, we also verify the universality of the approach by testing the examples that the target words were adjectives, adverbs, and nouns, and the results show the approach is applicable to the above three parts of speech.
Shadow detection of soil image based on density peak clustering and histogram fitting
Authors: Zeng Shaohua , Wang Qi , Wang Shuai , Liu Ping
Published: April 2022

Shadow detection is a significant preprocessing work that soil type is classified with machine vision. Thus, Density peak clustering based on histogram fitting(DPCHF) is proposed to segment soil image shadows. First, its clustering centers are adaptively obtained by constructing a new parameterless density formula and decision value measure. Then the Fourier series are drawn into it to approximate the gray histogram and a part of gray-levels are allocated by valley points of the histogram fitting curve. Finally, an optimization model is established to optimize the threshold of detecting the shadow in the soil image, and the remaining gray-levels are clustered by the threshold. The simulation results show that DPCHF is better than the contrast algorithm. The average brightness standard deviations of the shadow and non-shadow are respectively 20.9348 and 20.3081 with DPCHF. It can realize the adaptive shadow detection of soil images and there is not the “domino” error propagation in it.
A novel deep learning-based recommender system for Arabic content
Authors: Srifi Mehdi , Oussous Ahmed , Ait Lahcen Ayoub , Mouline Salma
Published: April 2022

In the era of big data, recommender systems (RSs) have become growing essential tools. They represent important machine learning solutions that mainly contribute to keeping users engaged with personalized content in e-platforms. Several RSs have been proposed in the literature, and most of them have focused on English content. However, for content in other languages like Arabic, very restricted works have been done to develop RSs. In recent times, the Arabic content on the Web has increased significantly because of the growing number of Arabic web users. This highlights the need for building RSs for Arabic content. To better handle this challenge, we decided to provide the research community with a novel deep learning (DL)-based RS devoted to Arabic content. The main goal of the proposed RS is to predict user preferences from textual reviews written in the Arabic language. This is achieved by combining two independent DL techniques into one system: a convolutional neural network (CNN)-text processor for representing users and items; and a neural network, in particular, a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) to estimate interactions between user-item pairs. Extensive experiments on four large-scale Arabic datasets demonstrate that our proposed system can achieve better prediction accuracy than other state-of-the-art alternatives. Notably, it improves the MSE between 0.84% and 16.96%, and the MAE between 0.14% and 13.71%. This work is the first attempt designed to deal with a large volume of data in the Arabic context, opening up new research possibilities for future developments of Arabic RSs.

Published: April 2022

In this paper, the ternary soft set is discussed based on the soft triadic (complete) formal context. The ternary soft set is a generalization of Molodsov’s soft set, which can characterize the objects universe more clearly by the attributes set, and different from type-2 soft set. The definitions of the ternary soft set and ternary formal context are given and illustrated with some examples. A mindmap is used to show the idea of ternary soft set visually. The usage of bijective soft set enables fast decision making process by our work. We demonstrate the idea with a flowchart and a case study. Meanwhile, the soft operations among the ternary soft sets are defined and their properties are studied.

Published: April 2022

Background: Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) is a well-established treatment for patients with Parkinson’s disease. Previous acute challenge studies suggested that short pulse widths might increase the therapeutic window while maintaining motor symptom control with a decrease in energy consumption. However, only little is known about the effect of short pulse width stimulation beyond the setting of an acute challenge. Objective: To compare 4 weeks of STN-DBS with conventional pulse width stimulation (60 μs) to 4 weeks of STN-DBS with short pulse width stimulation (30 μs) regarding motor symptom control. Methods: This study was a monocentric, double-blinded, randomized crossover non-inferiority trial investigating whether short pulse width stimulation with 30 μs maintains equal motor control as conventional 60 μs stimulation over a period of 4 weeks (German Clinical Trials Register No. DRKS00017528). Primary outcome was the difference in motor symptom control as assessed by a motor diary. Secondary outcomes included energy consumption measures, non-motor effects, side-effects, and quality of life. Results: Due to a high dropout rate, the calculated sample size of 27 patients was not met and 24 patients with Parkinson’s disease and STN-DBS were included in the final analysis. However, there were no differences in any investigated outcome parameter between the two treatment conditions. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that short pulse width settings (30 μs) provide non-inferior motor symptom control as conventional (60 μs) stimulation without significant differences in energy consumption. Future studies are warranted to evaluate a potential benefit of short pulse width settings in patients with pronounced dyskinesia.

Fontes de dados: National Guideline Clearinghouse, NICE, Canadian Medical Association Infobase, The Cochrane Library, DARE, MEDLINE, TRIP Database, UpToDate, Índex das Revistas Médicas Portuguesas e Direção-Geral da Saúde. Métodos: Pesquisa de normas de orientação clínica, revisões clássicas, revisões sistemáticas, meta-análises e artigos originais, utilizando os termos MeSH “diet, vegetarian”, “child” e “infant”, publicados em inglês ou português até junho de 2020. Resultados: Até aos seis meses é recomendado o aleitamento materno exclusivo. Nos lactentes vegetarianos, o aleitamento materno é aconselhado até aos dois anos. Se necessário, deve utilizar-se uma fórmula infantil de proteína de soja ou arroz para os lactentes saudáveis com dieta vegana. O tofu fresco natural pode iniciar-se aos seis a sete meses. Deve-se ter em conta a disponibilidade de proteína, ácidos gordos essenciais, vitamina B12 e D, iodo, ferro, cálcio, zinco e fibra, bem como o aporte energético da dieta. As crianças vegetarianas com uma dieta ajustada têm menor risco de obesidade, menor exposição a antibióticos presentes em produtos de origem animal e um melhor perfil de adipocinas anti-inflamatórias. Conclusões: Uma dieta equilibrada é fulcral para uma adequação nutricional e, ulteriormente, para um crescimento harmonioso. Embora a dieta ovolactovegetariana deva ser preferida em relação às outras dietas vegetarianas, o essencial é ter atenção à biodisponibilidade de nutrientes-chave e ao aporte energético. Assim, uma dieta vegetariana bem estruturada pode dar resposta às exigências nutricionais em idade pediátrica. O desenvolvimento adequado é preditor de uma dieta saudável.

Objetivo: Determinar se existem diferenças entre o acompanhamento por teleconsulta e o acompanhamento habitual nos doentes com patologias crónicas, nos cuidados de saúde primários e secundários, no que concerne à redução da morbilidade e mortalidade. Fontes dos dados: MEDLINE/PubMed, NHS Evidence, The Cochrane Library e Turning Research Into Practice. Métodos: Pesquisa de estudos observacionais, ensaios clínicos e revisões sistemáticas nas línguas portuguesa e inglesa, publicados entre janeiro de 2000 e agosto de 2020, utilizando os termos MeSH Chronic Disease, Telemedicine, Remote Consultation, Primary Health Care e General Practice. Para avaliação dos níveis de evidência e da força de recomendação foi aplicada a escala Strength of Recommendation Taxonomy (SORT), da American Family Physician. Resultados: Obtiveram-se 260 estudos, dos quais apenas oito cumpriram os critérios de inclusão. Cinco dos estudos revelaram benefício significativo na morbimortalidade com o recurso a teleconsulta, face aos cuidados habituais, nomeadamente: melhoria da qualidade de vida e diminuição do número de internamentos em doentes com múltiplas comorbilidades; diminuição de sintomas álgicos e depressão associados a dor músculo-esquelética crónica; diminuição da hospitalização e mortalidade por todas as causas e diminuição de recurso a cuidados de saúde adicionais no caso da insuficiência cardíaca. Dois estudos demonstraram resultados sobreponíveis entre os doentes teleconsultados e os doentes sob cuidados habituais, relativamente ao número de exacerbações e recurso a cuidados de saúde adicionais em doentes asmáticos, número e duração de reinternamento por doença pulmonar obstrutiva crónica ou insuficiência cardíaca e na mortalidade e recursos de cuidados de saúde adicionais nos doentes com múltiplas comorbilidades. Conclusão: Esta revisão demonstrou não haver um consenso claro quanto aos resultados dos indicadores de morbimortalidade em utentes com patologias crónicas, acompanhados por teleconsulta. Ainda assim, a maioria dos estudos demonstrou benefício do uso de teleconsulta nos indicadores de morbimortalidade dos doentes acompanhados por teleconsulta relativamente aos doentes acompanhados por método habitual. Embora não consonantes, os estudos encontrados demonstraram resultados pelo menos sobreponíveis, e não inferiores, na utilização da teleconsulta quando comparada com o acompanhamento habitual dos doentes. E, considerando a qualidade dos estudos encontrados, são necessários mais estudos neste âmbito para aumentar a robustez dos resultados encontrados e permitir a generalização à prática clínica diária.

Enacting Asset-Based Approaches for Critically Conscious Dual Language Teachers: The Administrator’s Role in a Professional Learning Community
Authors: Hernandez Ana
Published: April 2022

Equity minded administrators must perceive professional learning not only to focus on using strategies that promote language and literacy development for students, but also to address teachers’ deficit discourses and assumptions about their students (Molle, 2013; Kolano et al., 2014). Dual Language (DL) teachers and administrators participated in a professional learning community (PLC) to improve the instruction of DL learners by engaging in a critical examination of equity across three districts. The research used a framework to understand the cultural and linguistic assets of students by using a “learning about my students” approach with a focus on the strengths and abilities of their students––rather than deficits. Concurrently, the study examined the leadership role and collaboration of administrators in planning and implementing professional learning with their DL teachers. Results concluded key roles and supports of administrators to participants in the PLC as: 1) examining teacher’s critical consciousness, 2) leading with a cultural growth mindset, and 3) commitment to equity in capacity building.

INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE OF EDUCATION FINANCING AS AN ELEMENT OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Authors:   University of Customs and Finance, Barannik Liliia , Bolokhovets Alina ,   University of Customs and Finance
Published: April 2022

The global economic crisis (2008) had a negative impact on the financing of education in foreign countries, which resulted in a significant decrease in the volume of education financing. Each country tries to solve this issue taking into account its own tasks of socio-economic development and demographic situation. Some countries limit budget allocations for education, the state order for training, the number of schools and universities, while others, on the contrary, strengthen the role of the state in regulating the educational process, and seek new financial resources for it. From the presented list of ten countries and administrative territories without state status, sorted by the level of national expenditures on education, expressed as a percentage of GDP as of the end of 2018, it is clear that the leaders among European countries are Norway and Sweden. It should be noted that university funding in these countries depends on the scientific or research results of their activities. The practice of financing education in these countries is analyzed. It is shown that not least the reason for such changes were caused by the global economic crisis, intensification of competition in higher education, activation of international labor migration, changes in the structure of national economies due to global processes. Currently, international experience includes such financial mechanisms as budget allocations, loans, benefits, government loans and study grants.
