Authors:   Moscow State Pedagogical University, Demakova Irina D. , Shustova Inna Yu.
Published: May 2021

he article presents an interdisciplinary view of research methods in the theory of education. The development of issues in the theory of education presupposes a clear organization of research activities, in which a key role is played by rethinking and adequate using of research methods from related sciences (psychology, sociology, physiology, cultural studies, and others). Modern theory and practice of education are changing as a result of the integration of knowledge of related humanities. More and more complex and complex problems arise. All in all it necessitates rethinking the methodology of the theory of education. Currently, it is necessary to conduct research activities at the intersection of sciences, which improves the quality of research and allows more holistic use of the results obtained in practice. The article reveals significant principles that determine the methodology of the modern theory of upbringing - the principle of humanitarianism and social expediency of the upbringing process, the principle of the unity of the theory and practice of upbringing, the principle of development, the principle of consistency and determination. Authors highlight the significant interdisciplinary scientific approaches that are relevant to substantiate research methods in the modern theory of education. The basis for the selection of methods was grounded by such disciplines that allow us to consider various aspects of the educational activities of a teacher, enrich the researcher with scientific information about a person and the mechanisms of his personal dynamics (existential philosophy), about the creation of a flexible, open dialogue space in which zones of self-organization of children are provided (synergetics), on the art of deciphering verbal and non-verbal signs of a child (semiotics), on the awareness of the child's path as reaching the heights through difficulties and overcoming (acmeology), on understanding the child through comprehending the meanings of children's behavior (hermeneutics), on the interpretation of the personality as an integral open multilevel developing system capable of withstanding external influences (humanistic psychology). In conclusion, the authors note the importance of a new pedagogical direction - semantic pedagogy, which can be considered as the basis for the integration of humanitarian knowledge, which is essential for modern theory.

Authors:   Volsk Military Institute of Material Support (Volsk), Romanova Victoria V.
Published: May 2021

The article examines some aspects of the socialization of foreign students in the Russian education. In particular, the transformation of foreign students' perception of the culture of Russia from a state of culture shock to “entering” the Russian-speaking society is seen not so much as a process, but as a significant result of using a set of methods of pedagogical support of social formation. The methods of pedagogical support in the social formation of foreign students are understood as a set of pedagogical practices based on the joint activities of the teacher and students. In the process of these avtivities they identify and content the key points of the individual trajectory of the social formation of students in relation to the study and perception of the Russian culture. The article highlights the following methods of pedagogical support of social development: cultural immersion, empathy, building an individual trajectory. The concept of "the key point of the individual trajectory of social formation" is interpreted as a situation of choice, awareness of the significance and value of this or that knowledge, skill, action on their basis. It is noted that pedagogical support from a teacher involves subject-subject interaction, understanding, motivation and support of students in the educational process, the ability of a more experienced person to correlate his opinion with another and to respect the opinion of a less experienced student.

Published: May 2021

The article aims to elaborate the micro intervention method on fifty problem children guided in Social Institutions for children and adolescents of Social Office in Southeast Sulawesi Province. This qualitative descriptive study focuses on the study of problem children: mocking one another, skipping school, going out of the night without getting permission from the childminder, not following to do the prayer together, and liking to tell a lie. Methods of data-collecting are observation and interview. This study showed that dormitory-based micro intervention methods for problem children use mental-spiritual guiding, physical guiding, and extracurricular activity. The findings are as follows: 1) specifically for the children who mock their friends, they will be cultivated by way of advising and making them aware of resisting the deed of mocking because the conduct is a terrible deed, violating the ethics, and not to be in line with the religious and cultural norms; 2) for the children who do not follow to do the prayer together, to go out of night without getting permission from the boarder, skipping school, will be cultivated physically so that the children stop his bad habit and change it with a positive habit, such as: studying in, reading the Quran, doing sport, and sharing the other positive activities at night; and 3) there must be the supporting and collaboration with various stakeholders like a university, business world, society, and Non-Governmental Organization to realize the implementation of integrated child protection and to create social welfare of the children in the future.

Selenium-containing heteroarenes consist of a synthetically valuable family of compounds
that found applications in many different areas, such as organic synthesis, medicinal
chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, and optoelectronic devices construction. Over the past
decade, many advances have been achieved to the synthesis of these substances, and this review
aims to cover a literature survey of the direct selenylation of heteroarenes under metal-free
conditions, which represents one of the most powerful synthetic strategies for the preparation of
those target molecules. The construction of new C-Se bonds through selective C-H functionalization
reactions has become useful and atom-economical. The widespread adoption of metalfree
approaches has emerged as a versatile, sustainable, and safe access to these organoselenium

Diminished Sphenous Compartment Connective Tissue Elasticity has Little Impact on Low Grade Venous Insufficiency: An Ultrasound Shearwave Elastography Study
Authors: Baltacioglu Nurten A. , Tureli Derya
Published: May 2021

Background:

Greater Saphenous Vein (GSV) courses within saphenous compartment,
an adipose-filled space bound by fasciae provides structural support. Ultrasound Shear-Wave Elastography
(SWE) provides objective and quantitative data on tissue shear elasticity modulus.

Objective:

This study aims to analyze possible associations between early stage GSV insufficiency
and saphenous intracompartmental SWE measurements.

Methods:

Two-hundred consecutive patients, ages 22 to 81 (mean=44.3) years, with venous insufficiency
symptoms underwent Doppler and SWE examinations. Patients had no visible or palpable
sign of venous disease or had telangiectasia and reticular veins only. Analyses regarding patient
age, gender, presence of venous insufficiency of GSV proper and intracompartmental connective
tissue elasticity were performed.

Results:

Ninety-six patients had Doppler evidence for either bilateral or unilateral insufficiency of
GSV proper at mid-thigh level. Intracompartmental elasticity of patients with venous insufficiency
(mean=4.36±2.24 kilopascals; range 1.55 to 10.44 kPa) did not differ significantly from those with
normal veins (mean=4.82±2.61 kPa; range 2.20 to 12.65 kPa) (p=0.231). No threshold for predicting
the presence of venous insufficiency could be determined. Neither were there any correlations
between age, gender and intracompartmental elasticity. In patients with unilateral insufficiency,
however, elastography values around insufficient veins were significantly lower compared to contralateral
normal GSV (p<0.001).

Conclusion:

Many intrinsic and patient factors affect intracompartmental connective tissue elastography
measurements; thus, cut-off values obtained from specific populations have limited generalizability.
Nevertheless, statistically significant intrapatient differences of intracompartmental elasticity
among diseased and normal saphenous veins indicate that lack of elastic support from surrounding
connective tissues contributes to venous insufficiency in early stages.
Ring Cross-over Based GA for DFMB Chip Design and Medical Image
Compression
Authors: Brindha G. , Rohini G.
Published: May 2021

:

Currently, the clinical data stored in the cloud is easily accessible, and the patient’s data can be shared among treatment centers. In such a case, to handle additional data, the cloud data must be of a lesser scale. A process of compression was introduced to minimize the data with no losing data in order to achieve this size reduction. This paper conducts the experiment in two approaches: fast routing operations and compression from the chip in the DMFB approach. To apply this process of compression, the collected data from the chip was transformed into an image, and then compression of the image was performed utilizing a genetic algorithm (GA) based on a ring crossover. Consequently, the biochip of the 8x8 array is integrated into the power and area with the ring cross-module for an effective energy consumption operation. The technique of the process is utilized by the Microfluidic (MF) feature to handle and maintain the droplets. Also, the optimization process is performed by combining related pin actuation segments in parallel and the control pin to prevent pin-actuation conflicts. Through the optimization process, it synchronizes the length. This proposed approach decreases the consumption of the power and area. The outcome of the simulation indicates an increase in dynamic power, static power, and delay. Image compression is performed with the aid of this algorithm. In addition, for better outcomes, this GA compression application was contrasted with wavelet compressions.

Authors: Skime Michelle K , Puspitasari Ajeng J , Gentry Melanie T , Heredia Jr Dagoberto , Sawchuk Craig N , Moore Wendy R , Taylor-Desir Monica J , Schak Kathryn M
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND

Although group-based intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) are a level of care commonly utilized by adults with serious mental illness, few studies have examined the acceptability of group-based IOPs that required rapid transition to a telemental health (TMH) format during the COVID-19 pandemic.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to evaluate patient satisfaction and future recommendations for a group-based IOP that was transitioned to a TMH format during the COVID-19 pandemic.

METHODS

A 17-item patient satisfaction questionnaire was completed by patients at discharge and covered 3 areas: IOP TMH satisfaction, future recommendations, and video technology challenges. Descriptive and content analyses were conducted for the quantitative and open-ended questions, respectively.

RESULTS

A total of 76 patients completed the program in 2020. A subset of patients (n=40, 53%) responded to the survey at program discharge. The results indicated that the patients were satisfied overall with the TMH program format; 50% (n=20) of the patients preferred the program continue offering the TMH format, and the rest preferred returning to in-person formats after the pandemic. The patients indicated the elements of the program that they found most valuable and provided recommendations for future program improvement.

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, adults with serious mental illness reported high satisfaction with the group-based IOP delivered via TMH. Health care systems may want to consider offering both TMH and in-person formats regardless of the state of the pandemic. Patients’ feedback on future improvements should be considered to help ensure long-term success.

Se presenta un método para la estimación del riesgo sísmico en regiones cuya historia de sismicidad es incompleta Y. para las cuales no se cuenta con datos de aceleración, basado en simulaciones pseudoaleatorias del proceso sísmico con un mínimo de suposiciones. La aplicación de este método a la estimación del riesgo sísmico para la planta nuclear de Laguna Verde, México (basada en suposiciones simplistas), indica que una estimación pesimista del riesgo para un período de 50 años es del orden de 6.0%, para la aceleración de OBE de 0.12g y del orden de 0.97% para la aceleración de SSE de 0.24g.
Desarrollo de un sistema de adquisición automática de datos de resistividad
Authors: Duarte C. , Herrera F. , Martínez M.

Se describe un sistema automático de adquisición de datos, desarrollado en el CICESE, que se empleará en mediciones de resistividad. El sistema inyecta una corriente conocida al terreno y realiza mediciones del voltaje inducido con una rapidez máxima de 40 muestras/seg., con lo que calcula la resistividad aparente. La gran cantidad de datos que registra permite realizar estimaciones de parámetros estadísticos que brindan una mayor confiabilidad en las mediciones.El dispositivo ha sido diseñado para suministrar una potencia de 5 kilowatts, a un voltaje máximo de 1000 volts, CD. Para evitar los efectos de polarización electrolítica originados por corriente unidireccional, la corriente inyectada es invertida periódicamente. El uso de corriente directa conmutada permite además eliminar de la medición el efecto de potencial espontáneo al promediar los potenciales medidos. El sistema está controlado por la microcomputadora AIM-65 que permite programarlo para operar a diferentes frecuencias de conmutación y además facilitar el procesamiento de datos en el campo. El costo en componentes del sistema es bajo comparado con otros similares de operación manual. Actualmente se ha desarrollado un primer prototipo con el que se han obtenido resultados satisfactorios en pruebas de campo.

El análisis de los tiempos de arribo y primeros impulsos indica que el foco del temblor de Huajuapan de León, Oaxaca (14:54 GMT; 6.6 mb; 7 .O Ms) del 24 de octubre de 1980, se sitúa a los 18.03ºN y 98.27ºW y 65 km de profundidad, dentro de la Placa Continental. La ruptura principal ocurrió como un afallamiento normal a lo largo de un plano de rumbo N88°W y buzamiento de aproximadamente 26º hacia el NNE. Las réplicas están concentradas en una área de forma elíptica orientada NW-SE de 32 km de longitud por 10 km de ancho. La distribución de intensidades muestra una clara~ amplificación hacia el sureste debido posiblemente a un fenómeno de enfocamiento, motivado por la orientación de la falla y el mecanismo de ruptura.

Mediante el sistema lidar Yag se observaron sobre Fukuoka (33°N) aumentos muy grandes de los aerosoles estratosféricos causados por la erupción del volcán mexicano El Chichón, a principios de abril de 1982. Aquí se presenta la variación a largo plazo de los perfiles correspondientes a 15 meses. Las capas más densas de aerosol se localizaban a una altitud entre los 20 y los 30 km en los primeros seis meses y las capas más enrarecidas, por debajo de la altitud de alrededor de 20 km. La parte más densa descendió gradualmente después de octubre de 1982 a unos 2U km en enero de 1983, después de mezclarse con la parte inferior, y permaneció ahí desde entonces. La velocidad de descenso de la capa superior es aproximadamente de 1 km/mes o menos. La profundidad óptica de las capas de aerosol en la longitud de onda de 0.55 μm alcanzó su valor máximo de alrededor de 0.3 para el período comprendido entre diciembre de 1982 y febrero de 1983, y decreció entonces gradualmente a O.OS enjulio de 1983. La difusión turbulenta en la parte superior se estima que fue extremadamente pequeña para el período de abril a octubre de 1982 en las direcciones vertical y meridional. Este hallazgo puede explicar congruentemente los resultados observados y apoya el enfoque originalmente propuesto por Matsuno (1980).
Temporal variations in characteristics of the El Chichón stratospheric cloud

Durante el periodo comprendido desde abril hasta diciembre de 1982 se hicieron mediciones y muestreos in situ de la nube de la erupción de El Chichón, a 18 - 21 km de altitud, para examinar las características físicas y químicas de las partículas de aerosol, su distribución por tamaños, concentración de masa, morfología y composición elemental. Dentro del primer mes después de la erupción, en la distribución del aerosol por tamaños predominaban partículas magmáticas sólidas y líticas con diámetros aerodinámicos entre· alrededor de 3 mμ y 20 mμ. A principios de mayo de 1982 (un mes después de la erupción), la distribución por tamaños era trimodal, con fracciones significativas de la masa tanto en el tamaño medio (0.5 a 3 mμ) como en la banda de tamaño grande ( > 3 mμ). En el extremo superior de la banda de tamaño medio (alrededor de 1 a 3 mμ), las partículas eran sólidas pero cubiertas de ácido sulfúrico, mientras que el extremo inferior de la banda estaba casi totalmente poblado por gotitas de ácido sulfúrico de alrededor de 0.5 a 1.0 mμ dP 1iámetro. La banda de tamaño pequeño ( < 0.5 mμ) consistía en gotitas de ácido muy fina., Hubo otros rasgos adicionales que aparecieron en varias ocasiones, que son poco usuales en aerosoles causados por erupciones. Entre ellos hay muestras colectadas en abril y mayo que presentan una banda casi monodispersa (de alrededor de 1 mμ a 3 mμ), consistente en partículas halíticas, las cuales se cree que se formaron por la condensación de vapores de un domo salirio abajo de El Chichón. A fines de julio de 1982, abundaron las partículas de óxido de cobre-zinc, formadas posiblemente por oxidación de vapores volatilizados del magma durante la erupción, y sus tamaños variaban desde > 20 mμ a tamaños submicrónicos. Entre julio y diciembre de 1982, en la banda de tamaños de <0.2 mμ predominaban aglomeraciones de partículas carbonáceas, probablemente no relacionadas con la erupción sino posiblemente de origen meteorítico.
Climate model simulations of the effects of the El Chichon eruption
Authors: Robock A.
Published: May 2021

Se emplea un modelo climático de balance de energía para calcular el efecto de la erupción del 4 de abril de 1982 del volcán ~ Chichón sobre la temperatura del aire para los siguientes 10 años. El máximo enfriamiento de 1.0 - 1.4 C ocurre en el Polo Norte en la primavera y el otoño de 1984 y 1985. La respuesta promedio anual en el Hemisferio Norte es mayor en 1984 y 1985 con un enfriamiento de 0.4 - 0.5 C. Se presentan las respuestas de la tierra y del océano por separado corno funciones de latitud y época del año. Los patrones particulares que resultan son causados por las retroalimentaciones del albedo de la nieve y la inercia térmica del hielo. Estos resultados tienen implicaciones de importancia para la detección del cambio de clima inducido por el CO2.
Predicción del campo de las isohipsas, a partir de la solución de una ecuación tipo elíptica por serie de Fourier

Se expresa la función de corriente como una doble serie de Fourier, en una ecuación de tipo elíptica, y se transforma en un conjunto de ecuaciones lineales para los coeficientes. Estas ecuaciones se resuelven por integración numérica para propósitos de pronóstico, con la omisión de todas las escalas grandes de movimiento. Para calcular los coeficientes iniciales, se aproxima por medio de integrales dobles de funciones trigonométricas. La región de trabajo comprende las latitudes de 10° y 46° norte y las longitudes de 65° y 125º oeste, con una separación de cuatro grados. Se utiliza como máxima longitud la onda zonal y meridional 6 640 km y 4 150 km, respectivamente, obteniéndose los números de onda y los límites de la Serie de Fourier. El grado de precisión del pronóstico se obtiene del índice de correlación de Pearson, encontrándose una correlación de 0.85 como máximo.
NEW POWER-PUBLIC COMMUNICATIVISM AND POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF SOCIETY
Authors:   RUDN University of Russia, CHEKUNOVA M.A.
Published: May 2021

The purpose of the article is to consider the influence of the processes of digital transformation of society on the change of the model of power and public communications. The positions and arguments of technological optimists and alarmists on the prospects for the development or involution of democracy in the context of further digitalization are considered. Scenario variants of the political consequences of the "digital revolution"are presented. A special place is given to the analysis of the discourse, catalyzed by anti-covid events, around the problem of a new type of totalitarianism. The author, pointing to the opportunities of digitalization that are favorable for the development of power and public relations, also notes the risks associated with it for the political sphere. As a result of the research, the author suggests two main directions of digital transformation in the field of political communication in the medium term: 1) creative, enhancing the effectiveness of dialogue communications between the authorities and the public (including through the implementation of the national project "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation"), 2) destructive, forming the language of hostility in society and the activity of anonymous political trolls that generate conflict.
