Authors: Moudina Rizki
Published: July 2022

This study examines the relationship between emotional intelligence and prosocial and aggressive driving styles through a cross-sectional design (N = 659). The results showed that high emotionally intelligent people had a higher tendency to engage in a prosocial driving style compared with lesser emotionally intelligent people. Unexpectedly, emotional intelligence had no meaningful effect on individuals' tendency to engage in aggressive driving.
Penelitian ini mengkaji hubungan antara kecerdasan emosional dengan gaya mengemudi prososial dan agresif melalui desain potong lintang (N = 659). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa orang yang memiliki kecerdasan emosional tinggi memiliki kecenderungan yang lebih tinggi untuk terlibat dalam gaya mengemudi prososial dibandingkan dengan orang yang kurang cerdas secara emosional. Di luar dugaan, kecerdasan emosional tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kecenderungan individu untuk terlibat dalam mengemudi agresif.

Published: July 2022

Problem and purpose. Transformation of the sphere of education has led to the need to use blended learning in the implementation of educational programs at the university. The integration of competence, system-activity, cognitive-visual, personality-oriented, information-technological approaches in the design of a training course in mathematics for students of medical specialties of the university can ensure the achievement of educational goals taking into account given pedagogical conditions. The purpose of the article is to investigate the effectiveness of the methods used to teach mathematics to medical students at the university. Research methods. The pedagogical experiment was attended by 83 students of Pitirim Sorokin Syktyvkar State University, studying in the specialties «General Medicine» and «Pediatrics». In the course of the research a theoretical analysis and synthesis of scientific literature were carried out to select a blended learning model and methodical approaches used in the design and implementation of the course in mathematics. In order to identify the cognitive features and the level of mathematical training of students, as well as to analyze the comprehension of educational material by respondents were used methods of empirical research. Fisher's F-criterion and Mann-Whitney U-criterion were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the approaches used in mathematics teaching and the statistical results of the experimental work. Research results. In the learning process of the experimental group of students additional factors were applied: cognitive-visual approach and schematization method were significantly used in solving mathematical problems; diagnostic-technological approach was used to select key examples from the systems of mathematical problems to improve the level of knowledge of trainees. Statistical processing of the empirical data obtained showed at significance level α = 0.05 the homogeneity of control and experimental groups at the initial stage of the research (Femp.=1.02 < Fcr.=1.87) and the presence of significant differences in the final results of student learning (Uemp. = 592 < Ucrit. = 679). Conclusion. Based on the results of experimental activities, the authors of the article developed a methodical system for teaching mathematics to students of non-mathematical areas of higher education. The methodical approaches used in the work can be useful to teachers of natural science disciplines in universities.

Authors:   Moscow Polytechnic University, Kokorina Yulia G. , Vagabov Makhach M. ,   Moscow Polytechnic University, Akimova Aida A. ,   Dagestan State Technical University
Published: July 2022

Introduction. The relevance of the study is conditioned by the crisis state of Russian archaeological education and the need to find a way out of the current situation. The research objective: proposing ways out of the crisis of archaeological education based on the experience of training technical specialists. Materials and methods. Comparative-historical, classification and descriptive methods were used as a methodological basis that made it possible to compare the training systems of humanities and technical specialists, to classify the features of both systems and describe the current situation and ways out of it. The paper analyzes the researchers’ works of this problem, including the staff of the Moscow Polytechnic University, and uses the observations of the authors of the article. Results. An analysis of the experience of the Russian Empire showed that in the pre-Soviet period there was no unified system for the formation of archaeological personnel. The training history of the archaeologists in the Soviet Union was ambiguous, but as a result, a system of training highly qualified specialists was created that is now in a state of crisis. The training of archaeologists abroad is carried out according to two models, which is of concern to the foreign scientific community. Russian education needs to look for its own ways to change the situation in the formation of archaeological personnel. Conclusion. The crisis of archaeological education in Russia has administrative (formation of the higher education system), financial (low level of university science funding), scientific (spread of “black archaeology”), psychological (perception peculiarities of the current situation by Russian students) and a number of other reasons disclosed by us. This can be overcome considering the experience of creating professionals in technical specialties accumulated, in particular, at the Moscow Polytechnic University that we reveal on specific examples. This conclusion does not seem paradoxical in the context of the multidisciplinary nature of modern science and the growing economic demand for highly professional archaeological research.

Published: July 2022

Introduction. Mentoring is one of the major instruments of international students’ adaptation to getting education in Russian universities. Finding out the attitude of international students to various forms of mentoring will help their professional growth. The object of the research is to find out the opinion of Turkman students about mentors and mentees and to define the main ways to ensure individualized psychological pedagogical support of international students in Russian universities. Materials and Methods. The total number of Turkman respondents of Ryazan State University named after S. A. Yesenin who took part in the survey was 55. Empirical methods included online opinion poll of international students with the help of cloud technologies (Google Forms), participant observation method, interview. Results of the Study. The data obtained show positive attitude of Turkman students towards mentoring. To wit, 41 survey participants (75 %) gave an answer that a mentor is a university lecturer or teacher sharing their knowledge and experience with their students and supervising the whole process of learning. 8 people (15 %) consider their groupmates to be mentors, which shows potential readiness of some Turkman students for budding. Over 50 % of those who took part in the poll believe that mentors must communicate with their relatives or official representatives as it ensures their feeling of security. 45 international students (82 %) said that there should be one mentor who will supervise them during the whole period of university education, with only 10 people (18 %) considering that mentors should be different at each stage of their professional growth and development. Mentoring serves the purpose of individualized professional training of international students. Conclusion. The results of the research can profit educators to work out the strategy of further development of various forms of mentoring (group, individual, virtual) while giving professional training to international students. Besides, they will help international graduates find gainful employment. Another application of the results obtained is doing graduation research work in the form of Startup.

Published: July 2022

Визначено актуальність проведення комплексного розгляду питання забезпечення прибутковості міських пасажирських автотранспортних перевезень із врахуванням різних чинників, які на це впливають. Встановлено важливість якісного управління вартістю підприємства, оскільки дані про її величину характеризують фінансовий стан суб’єкта господарювання та формують узагальнену інформаційно-аналітичну базу результативних показників фінансово-господарської діяльності автотранспортного підприємства. Узагальнено позиції різних науковців щодо методичних підходів до визначення вартості підприємства та інформаційного забезпечення про ці показники зовнішніх і внутрішніх користувачів, оскільки в окремих випадках вартість підприємства ототожнюють із вартістю бізнесу, оцінюючи його діяльність з метою майбутнього продажу або здійснення інвестиційних вкладень. Аналіз фінансового стану підприємства розглянуто як основу визначення його вартості, тому що він чітко розкриває всі ризики і перспективи діяльності. Оскільки величина вартості підприємства визначається значеннями показників рівня чистого фінансового результату та вартості чистих активів, то в процесі її аналізу запропоновано скористатися статистичними методами часових рядів, які є більш універсальними з тієї точки зору, що дозволяють будувати прогнозні моделі для будь-якого наперед визначеного рівня довіри. Методологія часових рядів надає можливість на основі значень показників рівня чистого фінансового результату та вартості чистих активів за попередні роки визначити точкову оцінку прогнозу на наступні роки. Аргументовано, що визначення прогнозних значень показників рівня чистого фінансового результату з використанням аналітичних методів вирівнювання рядів динаміки дає змогу уникнути багатьох недоліків прогнозування на підставі середніх величин (середнього рівня ряду динаміки і середнього темпу зростання). Побудовані трендові моделі дозволили визначити прогнозні значення вартості автотранспортного підприємства. Порівняння вартостей підприємства, отриманих на основі аналізу даних за п’ять і сім років, дало змогу виявити потребу здійснення кардинальних дій з метою уникнення його банкрутства. Акцентовано на тому, що більш точне оцінювання вартості підприємства можна здійснити на основі прогнозних значень показників рівня чистого фінансового результату та вартості чистих активів, отриманих методом аналітичного вирівнювання.

Published: July 2022

У статті проведено глибокий аналіз ринку картоплі в Україні в розрізі показників зональної спеціалізації галузі. Виявлено, що стан галузі залежить від виконання таких завдань, як виведення нових сортів, розробка та застосування новітніх технологій вирощування культури та обробки землі, забезпечення належних умов зберігання картоплі. За результатами аналізу обсягів виробництва та використаної площі під картоплю протягом 2017-2020 років з'ясовано, що темпи збільшення обсягу збору картоплі перевищують темпи зростання площі, а це означає збільшення рівня урожайності. Дослідження зональної спеціалізації виробництва картоплі показало, що до 2011 року ця культура в найбільших обсягах вирощувалася на Поліссі, однак в наступні роки відбулася переспеціалізація, і основна частка виробництва і споживання картоплі стала припадати на регіони Лісостепу.

‘With Foolish Optimism We Thought It Was Just a Miss’: Marriage, Sexuality, and Unwanted Pregnancies in Twentieth-Century Ireland
Authors: Delay Cara
Published: July 2022

Much of the scholarly focus of Irish sexuality in the twentieth century has been on ‘sexual non-conformity’: sex outside of marriage, rape and coercion, and abuse. While these are essential topics, particularly given the historical incarceration and containment of sexual ‘others’, they are only part of the story. This article analyses married couples’ sexual lives in Ireland from 1900 to 1950. Utilising criminal abortion trial records, it sheds light on marital sexual practices and reproductive decision-making. Abortions were not only accessed by those who broke sexual norms but also by those whose sexual practices were more conformist: heterosexual committed couples, most of whom already had other children. While the criminal courts depicted abortion-seeking women as docile, women were far from passive in abortion decision-making. Committed couples worked together to manage unwanted pregnancies. This reality rejects the notion of a uniquely Irish sexual purity and complicates representations of married women as oppressed and even sexually naïve. Most couples actively collaborated in managing their sexual lives, receiving support from friends and families. Early twentieth-century popular views of sexuality, then, could be flexible and permissive.

Introduction
Authors: Brazeau Robert , Sydora Laura
Published: July 2022

RISE 5.1 is the first of a two-volume issue dedicated to the study of Irish sexual liberation and its literatures in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This first volume, entitled ‘Speaking out / when it’s dangerous’, brings together six scholars whose critically attentive articles equally interrogate not only the material and political practices of the heteropatriarchal state in its attempt to codify the sexual and moral script of the nation, but also the historiographic conventions of state-centred narratives revised and recovered in academic scholarship on sexuality and sexual identity. One of the most important contributions of this collection, however, is the range of forms of literary and cultural production addressed: from the traditional literary forms of novels, short stories, and dramas, to the cultural forms of periodicals, trial records, and sports entertainment, these articles offer compelling and innovative frameworks through which scholars of Irish Studies can continue to imagine and reimagine the relationship between sexual politics and social transformation in Ireland.

Published: July 2022

Objective: To evaluate the operation of the Fondo de Aseguramiento Ganadero and its effectiveness regarding predator attacks, through the perception of ranchers who operate in the area of influence of the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The communities were visited in order to contact and ask the permission of the ejido authorities, as well as to inform ranchers about the activities. The streets of the communities were randomly covered by our team and a survey was carried out with all the available producers. The snowball method was used to identify producers who have been impacted by predator attacks.
Results: Seventy surveys were carried out with ranchers of 18 communities from the northern, central, and southern regions of the area of influence of the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve (RBC), from October 2019 to January 2020. All the interviewed ranchers have been impacted by predator attacks; however, only 27% of them have reported the attacks to the Seguro de Ataques por Depredadores (Predator Attacks Insurance, SAD) and have obtained a compensation for their losses. Eighty-eight percent of the ranchers have received an immediate answer from the technician in charge of the insurance. Fifty-six percent of the ranchers mentioned that SAD has beneficial effects, 28% said they are not aware of its potential benefits, and 13% think that SAD does not have beneficial effects.
Study Limitations/Implications: Although producers who have requested the insurance were identified, many other producers who have been impacted by predator attacks have not reported them. In many cases, the producers hunt the predator. Hunting these predators is illegal; therefore, producers decided not to provide the required information.
Findings/Conclusions:

Published: July 2022

The adoption and acceptance of protective measures are crucial for containing the ongoing coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. In a recent article in this journal, Dohle et al. (https://doi.org/10.32872/spb.4315) investigated the influence of risk perceptions and trust in politics and science on those constructs in March/April 2020. Since then, the pandemic has undergone several dynamic changes. We analyzed longitudinal data (N = 800) to investigate whether trust and risk were relevant predictors for pandemic measures at a later stage (October 2020/January 2021). The concept of risk perception was supplemented by risk attitude and affective risk to produce a more comprehensive picture of the risk component. We found that greater trust in science at time point 1 predicted less rejection and more adoption of measures at time point 2. Moreover, trust in politics predicted less rejection of measures. From all aspects of cognitive risk perception, only higher severity predicted lower rejection. All other cognitive aspects were non-significant. However, affective risk was shown to be a major predictor: the more the coronavirus was perceived as frightening and worrisome, the lower the rejection and more frequent the adoption of measures. Also, the higher the risk attitude related to health topics, the less frequent the implementation of measures. We replicated the analysis with predictors from time point 2 and deviations are discussed. Our results indicate that affective risk and general attitude toward health risk are more predictive of taking up measures in the context of COVID-19 than cognitive risk.
National identification, social dominance orientation, and attitudes towards Black Pete in the Netherlands: Person- and variable-centered analyses
Authors: van Veen Daudi , Emmen Rosanneke A. G. , Mesman Judi
Published: July 2022

Black Pete, a blackface figure, is a popular but controversial part of the Dutch Sinterklaas festivity. Many ethnically Dutch people do not consider the figure to be a racist phenomenon and prefer not to change the figure, although many Black people in the Netherlands consider the figure to be racist. Prior research and public discourse suggest that national identity and wanting to maintain group dominance may explain why many ethnically Dutch people do not want to change the figure. Using a person-centered approach, we investigated if subgroups could be identified whose positive attitudes towards Black Pete and Sinterklaas clustered with high national identification or social dominance orientation (SDO) among Dutch university students (N = 174). Three subgroups were identified. The high national identification group scored high on positive attitudes towards Sinterklaas, Black Pete, and national identity but low on SDO. The high SDO group scored high on positive attitudes towards Sinterklaas, Black Pete, and SDO but low on national identity. The neutral-indifferent group scored low on these variables. Additionally, using a variable-centered approach, we investigated if higher national identification and SDO would be associated with stronger positive towards Sinterklaas and Black Pete. Higher national identification, but not SDO, was associated with stronger positive attitudes towards Sinterklaas. However, national identification and SDO were both associated with stronger positive attitudes towards Black Pete. These findings suggest that many people who prefer not to change Black Pete also have identity concerns or a preference for cultural dominance.

Enfermagem e a humanização do gestar e parir: revisão de literatura acerca da violência obstétrica
Authors: Zecca Gabriela Andrade , Guizardi Polido Carolina Guizardi
Published: July 2022

A maternidade é o momento mais marcante na vida da mulher. Envolve a família e toda a comunidade, e esses são muito importantes diante todo o processo. No cenário da assistência, o parto deixou de ser considerado um processo fisiológico, tirando assim o protagonismo da mulher e dando origem à violência obstétrica. Visando melhorar este cenário, surge o movimento de humanização, estimulando diversas iniciativas de mudanças e a atualização das práticas obstétricas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar as publicações referentes à violência obstétrica e seus reflexos na saúde da mulher. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura, tendo como fonte de pesquisa a Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. Conclui-se que as formas mais comuns de violência obstétrica são todas aquelas que roubam o protagonismo da mulher, causando traumas, e que questões de gênero, classe social, raça e escolaridade influenciam diretamente para uma maior ocorrência deste tipo de violência. Além de evidenciar a carência na compreensão de mulheres sobre o assunto, evidenciamos a importância de um pré-natal de qualidade. Ressalta-se a enfermagem como principal instrumento de mudança no cenário obstétrico, identificando a necessidade de uma atualização constante da equipe e da inserção do tema em questão nas grades curriculares.

Skin toning creams and turmeric powders are widely used among Bangladeshi fashion and beauty concerned women and young girls in general. However, it has been reported that excessive use of skin toning cream and turmeric powder can cause various dermatological problems, including skin cancer. These creams and turmeric powder contain a wide variety of active ingredients, including Hydroquinone (HQ), Mercury (Hg), and Lead (Pb), that are toxic, and hazardous to health, especially after prolonged application. As a result, in the current study, we tried to assess HQ and Hg level in commonly used skin toning creams and Pb in turmeric powder in the context of Bangladeshi women collected from the local markets in Dhaka city. HQ, Hg, and Pb levels were analyzed for 40 different Bangladeshi skin toning cream products and 40 different turmeric powder samples. The HQ level was determined by the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method, the Hg level was determined by Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (CV-AAS) using an automatic mercury analyzer, and Pb was measured by the flame atomic absorption spectrometry method. Among the 40 samples, 23 samples (57.5%) did not contain HQ, whereas 17 samples (42.5%) contained a high level of HQ compared to the standard limit. In the case of Hg analysis, we found that 28 (70%) out of 40 samples complied with the standard level of Hg, whereas 12 samples (30%) contained a higher level of Hg compared to the standard limit. Among the 40 samples of turmeric powder, 20 samples (50%) complied with the standard level of Pb, whereas 20 samples (50%) contained a high level of Pb compared to the standard limit. After three and six months of storage, we had similar results in all the samples for the three cases. After combining HQ and Hg data sets, we found that 14 (35%) out of the 40 samples had HQ and Hg levels within the standard limit, and 3 samples (7.5%) had higher quantities of both HQ and Hg levels and did not comply with the standard limit. 14 samples (35%) in the data set had higher HQ levels but complied only with the standard Hg level, whereas 9 samples (22.5%) had higher Hg levels and thus complied only with the standard HQ level. So, in 65% of the samples, we found the presence of excess level of either both HQ and Hg at the same time or any one of the measured chemical parameters. The use of these creams and turmeric powders, which did not comply with the standard limit, may pose a serious health risk to consumers. So, consumers should be aware of the risks associated with using these creams and turmeric powders, and policymakers should take appropriate measures to prevent the manufacturing and marketing of skin toning creams containing high levels of HQ and Hg and turmeric powder with high levels of Pb.

Background: Multi-drug resistant (MDR) Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most significant concerns in tuberculosis control. Genotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis helps study evolutionary relationships, its transmission, and molecular epidemiology. The collaborative data from genotyping along with demographic data allows the observation of the current trends of the disease within a population. The molecular tools developed in the past two decades to detect this disease were found to be expensive. Using the Line Probe Assay (LPA) molecular method, it has become simpler to diagnose M. tuberculosis. This study aimed to detect the prevalence of MDR-TB in Bangladesh using LPA.
Methods: LPA was used to identify sensitivity or resistance to the antibiotics Isoniazid (INH) and Rifampicin (RIF) (two out of the five first-line TB drugs.).
Results: Out of 500 acid-fast smear-positive and LPA-positive sputum samples, the percentages of only RIF, only INH resistant, and resistant to both RIF and INH were 2.2%, 7.6%, and 12.6%, respectively. The majority of the detected MDR-TB cases were from patients within the age range of 21-40 years. This study found the highest number of MDR-TB in the relapse category of patients.
Conclusion: LPA can be used successfully to identify MDR-TB prevalence in Bangladesh.

Induced Hyperfine Field in Doped Chalcopyrite Compounds Cu(In1-xAx)S2 (A = V and Cr)
Authors: Shahjahan M , Islam Raisul
Published: July 2022

Hyperfine field and electronic states of doped chalcopyrite compounds Cu(In1-xAx)S2 with A = V and Cr are calculated by Korringa- Kohn-Rostoker Green’s function method, where x denotes the concentration of A atoms. The V and Cr doped compounds are ferromagnetically stable in terms of energy minimization and their electronic states are half metallic. The hyperfine fields in the stable ferromagnetic (FM) state are calculated with their valence and core contributions. In addition, site preference local magnetic moments are calculated for the FM and disordered spin moment (DSM) states. Density of states (DOS) exhibit the spintronic property of half metallicity. The local core and valence field polarizations are found in the doped chalcopyrite systems, where the s-orbital hybridization with the local d-shell is explained in terms of some exchange mechanisms.

Blur Face Recognition using Blur Metric and Some Variants of Supervised Distance Preserving Projection
Authors: Muhi Mohiuddin , Jahan Sohana , Bhuiyan Md Anwarul Islam
Published: July 2022

This paper is focused on face recognition techniques in uncontrolled scenarios, specifically on the recognition of face images with blur effects. At first, the blur level of the testing image is determined using recently proposed blur metric. This blur metric value is used to blur the training set of gallery images using Gaussian filter. The blur level of training images is the same as that of the testing image. Two variants of Supervised Distance Preserving Projection (SDPP), SDPP as Semidefinite Least Square (SLS-SDPP) and Regularized Supervised Distance Preserving Projection (RSDPP), are used for extracting effective features of training and testing images. K-Nearest Neighbor classifier is used for matching. Numerical experiments were carried out on two benchmarking face data ORL and Yale. The performances of SLS-SDPP and RSDPP are compared with one of the leading methods Eigenface method. Experimental results show that the combination of blur metric and the feature extraction methods achieved outstanding performance in recognizing blur images of different levels and also outperforms the base methods and Eigenface method.

Lyapunov Mappings and Analysis of a Nonlinear Spatio-temporal Epidemic Model
Authors: Kamrujjaman Md , Islam Md Saiful , Islam Md Shahidul
Published: July 2022

This paper focuses on the global asymptotic properties of the SIR diffusive model for infectious diseases. Using the analytic technique with Lyapunov functions, we developed conditions for the global attractor of a unique disease steady-state and the disease free equilibrium. The most eminent refuge to the model is the direct Lyapunov mapping. We investigate the global well-posedness of the mathematical model, determine conditions on Ro for which non-trivial equilibrium states exist, and examine their global stability. We are interested in finding the model’s basic reproductive number, which determines whether the disease dies out or persists in the population. Finally, we consider a series of computational results to verify the theoretical results. The extensive numerical simulations show the dynamics of different population groups over time. The effects of different parameters on the compartments are shown in detail. The findings allude that the dynamics of the system are entirely estimated by the deterministic value Ro.

An Orbital Free Ab-initio Molecular Dynamics Study of Liquid Pt for Static and Dynamic Properties
Authors: Molla Mohammad Riazuddin , Bhuiyan GM , Ahmed AZ Ziauddin
Published: July 2022

Using the orbital free ab-initio molecular dynamics (OF-AIMD) simulation scheme we have examined the static and dynamic properties of liquid Pt at the thermodynamic state near to its melting point. In this simulation scheme, the Hohenberg and Kohn orbital free density functional theory (OF-DFT) has been employed. In OF-DFT, we have estimated the electron-ion interaction by a local pseudopotential and also controlled the exchange-correlation energy functional by using the local density approximation (LDA). The static properties, for instance, static structure factor, S(q), pair correlation function, g(r), coordination number, Nc, and isothermal compressibility, κT, are examined. Using the familiar single-particle dynamics, the self-diffusion coefficient and self-intermediate scattering function are studied. It is found that the self-intermediate scattering function is controlled by the selfdiffusion coefficient. While for studying the collective dynamics of the system, we have calculated velocity of sound from the longitudinal dispersion relation and shear viscosity from the transverse current correlation function, JT(q, t). The OF-AIMD results are nicely fit with the theoretical and experimental results accessible to us for comparison.

Published: July 2022

Simulation of Super Cyclonic Storm (SuCS) Amphan (2020) has been carried out as a case study to analyze the sensitivity of Initial Condition (IC) and Horizontal Resolution (HR) on the intensity, track, and landfall predictions of the Tropical Cyclones (TCs). The results suggest that the IC and HR have a significant impact on TC simulations. Diminishing the HR in simulation results in a comparatively higher severity of the system. The simulation with a reduced lead time and a comparatively smaller HR has forecasted the Minimum Central Pressure (MCP) distribution reasonably well. In comparison to the observations, the reduced lead time model run with higher resolution has forecasted the Maximum Sustained Wind Speed (MSWS) distribution precisely. According to the statistical analysis, the continual reduction of lead time in simulation with the HR of 27 km has simulated better track and landfall positions than other resolutions. Thus, the combination of reduced lead time and higher resolution in simulation may be considered for the proper track and landfall forecasting.
