Authors: Konyagin Sergei Vladimirovich
Published: September 2021

Последовательность $(x_1,x_2,…,x_{N+d})$ чисел из $[0,1)$ называется $N$-регулярной с не более чем $d$ иррегулярностями, если для любого натурального числа $n\le N$ каждый из полуинтервалов $[0,1)$, $[1,2),…,[n-1,n)$ содержит хотя бы один элемент последовательности $(nx_1,nx_2,…,nx_{n+d})$. Наибольшее $N$, для которого существует $N$-регулярная последовательность с не более чем $d$ иррегулярностями, обозначается через $s(d)$. Показано, что $s(d)\ge 2d$ для любого натурального $d$ и $s(d)<200d$ для достаточно большого $d$.

Making Use of Functional Dependencies Based on Data to Find Better Classification Trees
Authors: Sug Hyontai
Published: September 2021

For the classification task of machine learning algorithms independency between conditional attributes is a precondition for success of data mining. On the other hand, decision trees are one of the mostly used machine learning algorithms because of their good understandability. So, because dependency between conditional attributes can cause more complex trees, supplying conditional attributes independent each other is very important, the requirement of conditional attributes for decision trees as well as other machine learning algorithms is that they are independent each other and dependent on decisional attributes only. Statistical method to check independence between attributes is Chi-square test, but the test can be effective for categorical attributes only. So, the applicability of Chi-square test is limited, because most datasets for data mining have mixed attributes of categorical and numerical. In order to overcome the problem, and as a way to test dependency between conditional attributes, a novel method based on functional dependency based on data that can be applied to any datasets irrespective of data type of attributes is suggested. After removing highly dependent attributes between conditional attributes, we can generate better decision trees. Experiments were performed to show that the method is effective, and the experiments showed very good results.
Making Sense of the Unknown: A Narrative Analysis of COVID-19 Stories as Told by WSU Research Students
Authors: Van der Spuy Alicia , Jayakrishnan Lakshmi
Published: September 2021

Storytelling is an important tool through which to make sense of life experiences. Stories can be classified as personal narratives, historical documentaries and those that inform the viewer about a specific concept or practice. These narratives can be used to promote discussion about current issues in the world. Storytelling can thus be seen as an effective learning tool for students by providing a strong foundation in “Twenty First Century Literacy” skills as well as advancing emotional intelligence and social learning. This project used storytelling to gather information regarding people’s encounters with COVID-19 and lockdown, with specific focus on the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Employing a content analysis methodology, it attempts to analyze responses to narrative inquiry interviews about the COVID-19 pandemic as conducted by students, as part of their introduction to the methodology of research.  These responses were used to generalize findings, as well as to look at individual reactions that could bring light to, and make sense of the human experience of the pandemic within an educational context. Both negative and positive experiences were related by interviewees and students.
Understanding the Praetorian Rule of Fatah al-Sisi in Egypt
Authors: Arshad
Published: September 2021

Gamal Abdel Nasser established the praetorian regime in 1952. Nasser ruled Egypt with the ‘party-state’ system to maintain the ‘social contract’ between the state and the Egyptians. The government thrived on the patrimonial relationship and de-politicization of the population. The ‘Egyptian upheaval’ in 2011 sought the protection of individuals’ rights, equality, and freedom against the military-led praetorian regime. A short-democratic experiment led to the arrival of Islamist majority rule in Egypt under the leadership of President Mohammed Morsi. The liberal-secular oppositions and the military removed President Morsi because Islamists failed to achieve the protesters’ aspirations. Egyptians supported the military’s rule that led to the election of General Abdel Fatah al-Sisi as President of Egypt. Fatah al-Sisi shifted the dynamics of government from ‘party-state’ to ‘ruler-arbiter’ praetorian rule that centralized the authority and power under his leadership through military domination to counter the Islamists and revolutionary aspirations. The research explains the causality behind the Egyptian military's intervention in politics, structuring of the praetorian regime in Egypt; the return of military praetorianism after the removal of President Hosni Mubarak; the rise of the Sisi as ‘ruler-arbiter’ and its implications on the democratization process. The paper’s method is explanatory to study the ‘structural’ (military) and ‘agential’ (Sisi’s rule) factors to determine the causes of establishing the praetorian ‘ruler-arbiter’ type Sisi’s regime. The approach to examine the ruler-arbiter phenomenon is the ‘actor-centric’ instead of the ‘mechanistic’ to understand the praetorian rule in Egypt. The research finds that the rise of the ‘ruler-arbiter’ regime under the leadership of the Sisi, caused by the military-established praetorian authority and President Sisi's choices and decisions, led to the failure of the democratization in Egypt.
Women’s Participation in Local Government: An Assessment of Enhancers and Inhibitors in the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abirem Municipality
Authors: Raymond Kwasi Boasinke
Published: September 2021

The participation of women in local government is one of the burning governance issues in the world today. Such participation is expected to serve as a springboard to propel women to participate at the national level. However, an analysis of women’s participation in local government reveals that women are grossly underrepresented. This study assessed the factors that enhance and inhibit women’s participation in local government as elected representatives in the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abirem Municipality of the Central Region of Ghana. The qualitative approach was used to conduct in-depth interviews using a census of all the elected past and present assembly members in the Municipality. The study revealed that women's participation at the household level, training and education by Non-Governmental Organizations, and cordial working relationship with male colleagues in local government were the main enhancers of women's participation in local government. The inhibiting factors revealed by the study included financial constraints, unreasonably high expectations, and the non-cooperative attitudes of community members. It is recommended that women and girls be made an integral part of household decision-making. Women who contest local elections should be supported financially. The NGOs that ran programs to empower women to participate in local government should be encouraged and supported.

Published: September 2021

To solve tea image classification problems, this study focuses on triplet loss convolutional neural network to classify six high-mountain oolong tea classes. In the experiment, instead of using traditional deep learning training approach for local feature of tea images, an innovative image verification approach is proposed to learn the global feature of tea images by integrating the distributed tea leaves’ features of all tea sub-images and using a majority voting mechanism to do classification. The results show that the proposed approach can work for small sample size dataset and have higher accuracy than normal transfer learning approach. The average accuracy of the proposed approach achieves 99.54%.
A Recursive Least-Squares Approach with Memorizing Factor for Deriving Dynamic Equivalents of Power Systems
Authors: Karami Ali
Published: September 2021

In this research, a two-stage identification-based approach is proposed to obtain a two-machine equivalent (TME) system of an interconnected power system for transient stability studies. To estimate the parameters of the equivalent system, a three-phase fault is applied near and/or at the bus of a local machine in the original multimachine system. The electrical parameters of the equivalent system are calculated in the first stage by equating the active and reactive powers of the local machine in both the original and the predefined equivalent systems. The mechanical parameters are estimated in the second stage by using a recursive least-squares estimation (RLSE) technique with a factor called “memorizing factor”. The approach is demonstrated on New England 10-machine 39-bus system, and its accuracy and efficiency are verified by computer simulation in MATLAB software. The results obtained from the TME system agree well with those obtained from the original multimachine system.
Prospects for Children’s Height in Japan and South Korea: Perspective from Food
Consumption
Authors: Mori* Hiroshi
Published: September 2021

In the past half century, children in Japan and South Korea grew rapidly in height by 2 cm per decade. Children in
Japan ceased to grow any taller in the mid-1990s, whereas Korean peers kept growing and overtook the Japanese 3
cm in the mid-2000s and then stopped. In the 1990s, when Koreans caught-up the Japanese in height, per capita
caloric supply from animal products in Korea was 150 kcal/day less than in Japan. When Korean children stopped
growing in height in the mid-2000s, per capita supply of animal products was still rising. Household Expenditure
Surveys classified by age groups of household head were decomposed to demonstrate that children and younger
people in Korea started to turn away from vegetables in the early-1990s, and by the end-2010s they ate less than
10% of the vegetables eaten by those aged 50. Similarly, two decades before Japanese height stopped increasing in
the early 1990s, the young people started to turn away from fresh fruit. Vegetables/fruit may be essential nutrients
to support animal protein intake in human metabolism. Judging from the fact that 1st graders in primary school in
Korea declined in mean height by 1.5 cm from 2008 to 2017 and that boys’ height increment from 12 to 17 years of
age fell drastically from 18.9 cm in 2005 to 15.5 cm in 2015, it looks as though young people in South Korea will
decline in mean height by 1-2 cm in the foreseeable future.

Authors: Richardson Scott , Aten Danika , Bennett Garrett , Koster Matthew , Svilar Hannah
Published: September 2021

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine if empathy levels correlate with practical examination scores in DPT students. It was hypothesized that students with higher empathy levels would receive better scores on practical examinations. Methods: Participants were a convenience sample of 49 first and second year DPT students from Franklin Pierce University in Goodyear, AZ. After obtaining informed consent, participants completed the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) to assess personal empathy. These scores were compared with participants’ practical examination scores using a Spearman Rho statistical test with data analysis completed using SPSS software. Results: 49 participants (26 females, 23 males) with mean practical examination score (92.5% ± 0.02) and mean empathy score (72.80 ± 18.66). Spearman Rho correlation (rs = 0.864, p < 0.000). Conclusions: A significant positive correlation between empathy and practical examination scores in physical therapy students was found. Educators can use these findings to provide resources to students to assist with practical examination performance.
The Impact of Perfectionism on Mental, Social, and Physical Health of Graduate Students in the Health Sciences
Authors: Filipkowski Kelly , Nordstrom Alicia , Pham Triet , Floren Michael , Massey Scott
Published: September 2021

Purpose: Perfectionism is considered a multidimensional construct with adaptive and maladaptive features. It was hypothesized that the diverse perfectionism components would predict well-being outcomes of similar valence. Method: The current study investigated perfectionism and mental, social, and physical health outcomes of graduate students in health science disciplines, across two semesters. We utilized two approaches in our empirical analysis. We first examined the continuous relationships between perfectionistic strivings, perfectionistic concerns, and health-related outcomes of graduate students. Additionally, we assessed differences between three perfectionism groups (i.e., adaptive, maladaptive, or non-perfectionist) on these well-being outcomes. Results: Results indicated that generally, adaptive perfectionism was related to better mental health, quality of life, and social functioning; maladaptive perfectionism was related to worse outcomes. The groups, however, did not statistically differ in general physical health. Conclusions: Overall, our results support a conceptualization of perfectionism that is differentially related to graduate student well-being. Thus, supportive networks may be fostered by differentiating between adaptive and maladaptive features of perfectionism. Moreover, we highlight the need for further discussion relative to determining perfectionism in high-achieving populations, in particular, graduate students in the health sciences.
Do Learning and Study Strategies Predict Success in Hybrid-Online Physical and Occupational Therapist Education?
Authors: Pucillo Evan , Black Ellen
Published: September 2021

Purpose: An understanding of the learning strategies most accurately predictive of success has become increasingly important as health professional education programs scale the utilization of online learning in the wake of COVID-19. The purpose of this study was to examine the predictive relationship between The Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) and cumulative professional GPA (cpGPA) in hybrid-online physical (PT) and occupational therapist (OT) education. Methods: A convenience sample collected N=149 entry-level PT and OT students from three campuses across Florida, Texas, and California. A total N(%) of 89(59.7%) PT and 60(40.3%) OT students were included for analysis [48(32.2%) male; 101(67.8%) female]. A cross-sectional and predictive correlational study design was utilized. Participants self-administered the LASSI and cpGPA was collected in Spring 2020. Standard multiple linear regression analyses were conducted. Results: Neither the LASSI scales, R2 = 0.05 [F(10, 138) = 0.71, p = 0.71], nor the LASSI components, R2 = 0.01 [F(3, 145) = 0.56, p = 0.64], were able to accurately predict cpGPA. These findings contradict many prior studies in health professions education where anxiety, attitude, motivation, test strategies, and time management have been significant predictors. Conclusion: This study should be repeated due to a threat to internal validity, the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have influenced outcomes to an unknown degree. The predictive nature of this measure under more natural conditions remains unknown for this population of learners.
Genomic Education – Bench to Bedside: A Novel Approach to Teaching Genetic Diagnosis
Authors: Williams J. , Segal Michael , Feldman Lynn
Published: September 2021

Problem: Teaching genetic diagnosis is required in all medical schools and physician assistant programs. However, with thousands of relevant findings and thousands more rare diseases, lectures and narrative resources are inadequate for the task. Whatever information that is taught is easily forgotten and does not carry over into the clinic. Many rare disease patients suffer through “diagnostic odysseys” (3 to 30 years to correct diagnosis). Approach: We used a commercially available diagnostic decision support system (DDSS) that encompasses all Mendelian disorders with known genes, together with other conditions in their differential diagnosis, and a case-based educational approach to teach diagnostic skills in a way that could then be replicated in the clinic. After a lecture, which included a demonstration using the DDSS with a sample case, 74 students were assigned to replicate the sample case at home and then complete 7 other anonymized cases, all with known rare diagnoses. After each case, students saved the “patient summary” that included the findings entered and differential diagnosis list and submitted it as homework. Students also completed a questionnaire about their experience, including satisfaction. Outcomes: Students were effective at diagnosing rare diseases in 483 of the 514 testing instances, a 94% success rate, with success defined as the correct diagnosis being listed in the differential diagnosis. Eighty-five percent of students rated this interactive learning session “highly,” encouraged us to repeat the assignment next year, and 89% reported that they wanted to use the DDSS during their clinical rotations in the coming year. Next Steps: We plan to refine the cases, add more material on findings, and ensure that all the synonyms students might use are in the software tool. We plan to repeat the program next year and recommend its use more widely in medical education.
Advanced Practice Provider Onboarding Support Model Comparison: Is there a Superior Choice?
Authors: Ricker Melissa , Greene Cragin , Vail Anne
Published: September 2021

Health care practices and institutions are providing variable onboarding models to prepare physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs) for transition into new practice settings. With the evolution of healthcare delivery and increased opportunities for PAs and NPs to specialize in advanced practice environments, there has been a growing demand for an evidenced-based strategy, structure, and appraisal of content within existing onboarding models. The aim of this paper is to compare two onboarding models for Advanced Practice Providers (APPs): postgraduate training programs and traditional institutional transition to practice programs. With expanding numbers of postgraduate training programs offered nationally and increasing numbers of PA and NP graduates seeking out these opportunities calls into question the differences offered through each model. Postgraduate training programs appear to provide a consistent structure of comprehensive curriculum design, interprofessional learning, meaningful institutional engagement, leadership exposure, and support a superior onboarding support model for PAs and NPs.
Word weapons? Letters to editors
Authors: Stewart Georgina
Published: September 2021

This short commentary argues that academic letters to editors on politically-contested topics must be treated with particular ethical care. The interface between science and Māori/Indigenous knowledge is one such topic, vulnerable to inadequate but commonly-held ideas about both science and Māori/Indigenous knowledge. Letters to editors by scientists are personal opinion but carry the imprimatur of science expertise. When such letters contain lay views masquerading as expert opinion, they have negative effects on both science and Māori knowledge, hence qualifying to be described as ‘word weapons’.
Terapia por ondas de choque extracorpóreas no tratamento de doenças musculoesqueléticas
Authors: Furtado Rita Nely Vilar , Santos Paulo Roberto Dias dos
Published: September 2021

Neste artigo, os autores revisam e discutem os principais mecanismos biológicos desencadeados pela ação da terapia por ondas de choque extracorpóreas (TOCE) no tratamento de doenças musculoesqueléticas dolorosas. A TOCE é intervenção não invasiva e pode ser utilizada como parte do tratamento em várias enfermidades onde estejam envolvidos na patogênese eventos como isquemia, degeneração tecidual, retardo na consolidação óssea, calcificações e contração muscular persistente. As ondas de choque podem ser produzidas por geradores eletro-hidráulicos, eletromagnéticos e piezoelétricos, podendo ser o tratamento de alta ou baixa energia, com aparelhos de TOCE focada (que atinge tecidos mais profundos) ou radial (que atinge tecidos mais superficiais). Acredita-se que através da mecanotransdução a aplicação da TOCE produza reações biológicas que desencadeiam, principalmente, a analgesia, liberação de fatores de crescimento tecidual, neoangiogênese, aceleração do reparo ósseo e fragmentação dos depósitos de cálcio. Esses efeitos são interessantes para o tratamento de várias das doenças musculoesqueléticas como as entesopatias e as tendinopatias (calcárias ou não), já que nessas doenças estão envolvidas degeneração tecidual, presença de calcificações e entesófitos. A TOCE pode ser considerada tratamento clínico em casos refratários dessas enfermidades, principalmente na tentativa de evitar cirurgias.

FEATURES OF THE STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF THE ZOOPLANKTON IN LAKE NERO (YAROSLAVL REGION) DURING CLIMATE WARMING
Authors: Zhdanova S. , Lazareva V. , Sabitova R. , Sidelev S.
Published: September 2021

Data on the abundance, biomass, and composition of the dominant complex of zooplankton in the shallow hypertrophic lake Nero (Yaroslavl region) from 2007 to 2017 are present. The spatiotemporal distribution of zooplankton is analyze. The high zooplankton species richness is characteristic of Lake Nero (>100 species in the general list and up to 22–27 species in the sample). 2007 to 2011, a low amount of zooplankton was noted (<37.9 thous. ind./m3 and 0.15 g/m3), with a relatively high proportion of copepods (up to 83%). Since 2012, the abundance of planktonic animals has increased (313 thous. ind./m3 and 1.20 g/m3). In 2007–2017 the composition of dominants remained close to that in previous years; small crustaceans (Bosmina longirostris, Chydorus sphaericus, Mesocyclops leuckarti), rotifers (genera Asplanchna, Brachionus, Keratella, Trichocerca and Anuraeopsis) dominated the zooplankton community. Rotifer-dominated communities (with a high abundance of thermophilic Brachionus diversicornis) formed during abnormally warm summers. Two species groups are determined: the first dominates in spring, early summer, and autumn, and the second in the second half of summer. The high abundance of zooplankton (>5 mil. ind./m3 and 10 g/m3) is in the thickets of macrophytes, which is 8–9 times higher than in the open littoral and pelagic zones. In the western littoral zone, the low abundance of zooplankton (<1 g/m3) may be associated with local pollution, high concentration of chlorophyll a, high phytoplankton biomass, represented by low food cyanobacteria. The center part and the adjacent open littoral zone differed in composition and abundance of dominant species from the southern bays occupied by macrophytes. The trophic status of the lake ecosystem in terms of zooplankton is hypertrophic since the 1980s. The abundance, composition and structure of the community in the long-term aspect are stable with interannual fluctuations common for a high-trophic shallow lake.
THE EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE THERMAL REGIME IN THE RYBINSK RESERVOIR
Authors: Zakonnova A.
Published: September 2021

According to the data of the Rybinsk Hydrometeorological Observatory (HMO) and archival data of the Laboratory of Hydrology, Papanin Institute for Biology of Inland Waters, Russian Academy of Sciences, the seasonal variability of the main climate parameters, air temperature (Rybinsk HMO) and water temperature in the Rybinsk Reservoir have been studied at the modern stage of global warming (2001–2019). Over the period of 1976–2019, the rate of an increase in the average annual air temperature was 0.50°C /10 years in the littoral zone of the Rybinsk Reservoir. Changes in the timing of the onset and end of the climatic seasons of the year and an increase in their duration have been determined. It is found that during the modern period the average surface air temperature was higher than the climatic norm in all months of the year (1960–1990). During the growing season (conventionally May–October), its maximum increase was recorded in July, 1.5°C, May and September, 1.2°C. It is shown during the modern period of intensive global warming the average decadal water temperature in the spring, summer, and autumn seasons increased compared to the norm. The maximum positive anomalies were recorded in the second-third decade of May, 2.8–2.3°C and July, 2.0°C. According to observations at the standard stations, significant differences were recorded in water mass heating: in July in anomalously warm summer of 2010 the average water temperature was 27°C in the surface layer and 18.5°C in the near bottom layer; in the cold summer of 2017, the temperature was 18.5 and 16.0°C, respectively. The monitoring data on the water temperature in the reservoir indicate an increase in the number of years with anomalous thermal conditions as a result of climate change. The earlier temperature stratification of water masses (the end of May) and decrease in the difference in the temperature between the surface and near-bottom water layers have been observed.

Design for Difference: Cognitive Enhancement Toys for Children with Developmental Delays
Authors: Deshpande Aditi
Published: September 2021

Childhood is a phase where children explore, learn and enjoy. For some children, this phase is full of difficulties. These children suffer from either developmental delays or learning difficulties. According to sources, there is a iniquitousness of 1.5-2.5% of advancing delay in kids below 2 years of age in India. Development is described into five different domains - gross motor, fine motor, speech, and language, cognitive and socio-emotional. These children need help at an early age to overcome developmental delays and for cognitive enhancement. Both parents and teachers are involved with children right from an early age, and they can devise ways to help these children. Many schools adopt 'Play' as an important activity to help these children overcome developmental delays and "toys" are mostly central to the design of such activities. The paper describes the design research for designing toys for cognitive enhancement of children with developmental delays between 2 and 5 years. In the first phase of research, the interview method was used to understand what kind of learning difficulties children face and what kind of methods are employed to teach them and understand what types of toys they are using. The sample size of 20 comprising of teachers, therapists, and pediatricians from Special schools and departments for special need children in mainstream schools was used for the interview purpose. Observational studies with children (5 different classrooms with children between 3-5 years age) were carried out to understand how children learn and use the toys. At the end of the first phase, the qualitative analysis led to the shift from learning difficulties to developmental delays. In the second phase, a survey of available products in the market was conducted to understand what types of toys are used to address these children's developmental activity. Mapping the play methods employed by the teachers and therapists to the toys' activities led to finding the Design gap. The design process incorporated the research findings. The product is designed in the form of a Toy Box with a multi-utility set of toys for cognitive enhancement in children with developmental delays. The design (three sets of toys) addresses children's communication, spatial, cognitive, gross motor & fine motor skills with developmental delays. The designed product was put through user testing twice to incorporate the findings from the testing to make the design more user-friendly for the children and the teachers, therapists, and parents.

This paper strives to study the presence and impact of Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and Roundtable on Responsible Soy (RTRS) in India today. The reason for choosing these two roundtables is - India is one of the significant producers of soy oil and is one of the largest markets for palm oil globally. With the roundtables being established keeping in mind the case of sustainability for the procurement and usage of soy oil and palm oil, and India playing a major role in both, it becomes extremely important to study how sustainable the Indian market is in terms of product manufacturing and usage involving soy oil and palm oil. The previous papers have done an extensive study on RSPO in India, the global presence, and the impact of RTRS. They have a lot of quantitative and qualitative data regarding the presence of RTRS and RSPO. However, a gap exists, as RSPO and RTRS have not been analyzed together in the Indian context. Thus, this gap shall be addressed in this paper- we attempt to analyze the latest RTRS and RSPO in India by referencing previous papers and looking up the public domain for recent information specific to RSPO and RTRS in India. This paper is a literature review of previous papers on RSPO in Indian reference and RTRS and adds updated information. A comparative analysis of the presence of RSPO and RTRS in India is also added. Both RSPO and RTRS have a lot to increase their influence in the Indian market- especially RTRS. The paper concludes with recommendations for enhancing the influence and opens further discussion on implementing the recommendations and alternative recommendations, if any, in the future.

Enormous amount of electrical energy is consumed in urban areas by means of street lights. Currently, the street lights are turned on and off manually which will lead to wastage of electrical energy. Due to inadequate dimming and low efficiency of lights, current is being wasted. The main aim of this smart LED system is to create a street light which will behave according to its surrounding. This LED will turn on automatically during dark time and off during bright time with the help of LDR. It will remain dim when there is no one near the light and turns on bright when people pass by it. By doing this, huge amount of energy is being saved. Though solar energy is efficient, it can’t work during rainy season. Thus, piezoelectric sensor is a good replacement of it. It converts the pressure that applied on it to electrical energy. This sensor is fixed in the road which will convert the pressure applied to it by the vehicles to electrical energy which can be utilized by the LEDs. Finally, this system aims to present an overview of a profitable and green solution to the energy consumption problem imposed by street lighting.
