Published: October 2024

OBJECTIVE

Previous Pediatrician Life and Career Experience Study (PLACES) 2016 data revealed that female pediatricians reported earning ∼94% of what male pediatricians reported, after adjusting for factors that might impact income. Has this disparity persisted?

METHODS

Data from PLACES, a national longitudinal study, was used to examine pediatrician-reported income from 2017 to 2022. A regression analysis estimated the adjusted differences in female and male pediatricians’ annual income for each survey year. Models included sex and other key personal and practice characteristics for which female and male pediatricians’ careers might differ. A mixed effects regression for longitudinal analysis examined income across years for female and male pediatricians and if time-variant characteristics are associated with increased or decreased income.

RESULTS

PLACES participation ranged from 83.6% in 2017% to 75.5% in 2022 (analytic n = 1251 in 2017 and 1077 in 2022). The unadjusted mean annual income in 2022 was $237 168, $220 374 for female pediatricians and $284 286 for male pediatricians. Adjusting for key characteristics, female pediatrician income was ∼93% of male pediatrician income, a gap of ∼$ 11 000 annually. Income increased across years (coefficient = 0.03, P < .001). The year–sex interaction was not significant, indicating that the female–male disparity did not change over time. Three time-variant characteristics associated with increased income over time included increased portion of continuous full-time work, work hours, and time in administrative work.

CONCLUSIONS

A national longitudinal study revealed that female pediatricians reported earning ∼93% of what their male colleagues reported, with a consistent gap from 2017 to 2022.

Enhancement of a heat pump's efficiency COP operating on the water-soil principle
Authors: Brbhan Salman , Omle Issa , Szamosi Zoltán
Published: October 2024

Geothermal energy is increasingly promising for residential use due to rising energy costs and environmental awareness. This work experimentally examines the impact of pipe distribution on the heat pump's performance at varying temperatures for both the incoming water and the ground. The pipes are buried in the soil, distributing them on layers of varying depths up to a depth of 2 m, separated by insulating layers. The quantities of heat gained in the evaporator and released in the condenser are calculated to determine the coefficient of performance of the heat pump. It was found that at the same temperature, the total heat loss in the soil is larger in the case of water entering from the bent pipe towards the great depth compared to water entering from the direct pipe, but the heat gain is larger in the case of water entering from the direct one.

Authors: K Mala . , Prasad Manjunath .
Published: October 2024

In today’s cloud computing environments, robust network security is crucial due to the inherently distributed and dynamic nature of cloud systems. Traditional Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) often face challenges in handling large-scale, rapidly evolving data and sophisticated attack vectors unique to cloud settings. This paper presents an optimized Machine Learning (ML)-based NIDS framework designed specifically for cloud infrastructures, leveraging feature selection, dimensionality reduction, and algorithmic tuning techniques to enhance detection accuracy and reduce false positives. Integrating supervised and unsupervised learning methods, this NIDS system can detect both known and novel attack types efficiently. By utilizing cloud-specific datasets and real-time traffic monitoring, it adapts well to the scalability and elasticity requirements of cloud environments. Additionally, the system incorporates automated optimization techniques, such as hyperparameter tuning and ensemble learning, to further enhance performance. Experimental results show improvements in detection rates, reduced computational overhead, and better scalability, making it a promising solution for modern cloud-based infrastructures.
Edge-Cloud Remote Sensing Data-Based Plant Disease Detection Using Deep Neural Networks with Transfer Learning.
Authors: K Mala . , Kavya N .
Published: October 2024

The identification and control of plant diseases have become increasingly complex as agricultural lands expand globally. Traditional manual methods of monitoring and diagnosing diseases are not feasible for large-scale farms. The complexity is further heightened by the heterogeneity of data types collected through remote sensing methods, such as images, videos, and sensor readings, which need to be processed in real-time. This paper introduces a novel EdgeCloud Remote Sensing architecture that utilizes Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) with Transfer Learning to enhance the detection of plant diseases using remote sensing data. The proposed system employs a Fuzzy Deep Convolutional Neural Network (FCDCNN) to process multimodal data collected from both edge nodes and satellite point clouds. Transfer learning allows the sharing of model weights between cloud and edge nodes, thus optimizing performance without requiring frequent retraining. Simulations show that the proposed system achieves a 98% detection accuracy and reduces processing time by 25% compared to existing methods. By distributing tasks between edge and cloud resources, the system is able to process large datasets effectively and improve disease detection performance on vast farmlands.

Published: October 2024

: With the increased basis of applications and services on Cloud, the dependence on cloud technologies has expanded rapidly. This transition eases some of the hardware management troubles, but it also exposes broad security threats, especially in regard to malware. Malware is a major threat to cloud computing systems mainly in IaaS dominated environments. In this paper we explore the usage of Recurrent Neural Networks, RNNs in malware detection in cloud VMs. In particular, we examine two of the most popular RNN models; Long short term Memory, LSTM and Bidirectional RNNs, BIDI, that try to understand malware patterns by watching the activity of systems and the use of CPU, Memory and Disk. On the dataset of 40,680 samples 40,680 malware and benign samples, the models were trained on process level features from real malware in a free and open cloud environment. Both models achieved detection rates of over 99% in average key performance metrics. Moreover, wealso investigate the impact of different representations of input data on the performance of the models. The results of the study clearly support the viability of RNNs for online malware detection in cloud infrastructure, and allow for high accuracy and real time detection.

Authors:   Samara State University of Economics, Guseva Maria S. , Gabbasova Julia R. ,   Samara State University of Economics
Published: October 2024

Introduction. Sustainable development of the country and its individual regions largely depends on the socio-economic development of a special type – single-industry towns. Russia is characterized by 319 single-industry municipalities, including 100 ones with the most difficult social and economic situations. The 206 single-industry town unemployment rate exceeds the average. The continued dependence of single-industry towns on the core enterprises’ functioning, the poor quality of the urban environment trigger the need for the effective instruments of support and development in single-industry areas.Aims. The purpose of the paper is to study the conditions and trends of modern socio-economic development of single-industry areas in Samara region and to summarize the experience of the region in meeting the challenges of complex development of single-industry towns (for example, Tolyatti).The following methods were used: systems analysis, analogy and comparison, generalization, content analysis, statistical analysis. These methods allow ensuring reliability of the research and validity of theoretical conclusions and proposals.Results. Traditional and new tools of state support for single-industry areas at the federal and regional levels of government are systematized. The prerequisites and trends in the socio-economic development in Tolyatti in 2010–2015 are analyzed. Practices in Samara region in the state support single-industry city districts represented by Tolyatti are summarized. Current restrictions that impede the implementation of integrated development projects in Tolyatti are identified. Conclusion. The main barriers to a positive effect from the use of state instruments are the existing constraints in employment in Tolyatti – highly specialized areas of personnel’s expertise, the outflow of highly qualified specialists; residents’ mentality. The current restrictions in the multi-faceted socio-economic development in Tolyatti can be eliminated in several ways: successful functioning of the priority development territory; setting up an engineering center; the development of a new educational system; improving the urban environment. The tools of state support in Tolyatti refer to the traditional tools – subsidies and privileged taxation for the investors in the existing special economic zone “Tolyatti”, as well as the new ones, including Single-industry Town Development Fund, priority development territory, project management based on the program “Integrated Development of Single-Industry Towns”. Special attention is paid to the employees’ selection for Samara region teams managing the projects aimed to develop single-industry towns and to inform and to consult single-industry town development projects

Published: October 2024

Introduction. Presently the level of national highways development does not match the socio-economic development of the country. The traffic organization is low and contains threats. The reason is no concern for the territory’s peculiarities in designing road construction projects.The aim is to justify the need to take into account the territory’s peculiarities for the construction and exploitation of the national highways.Methods. The paper proposes methodology that takes into account two main aspects: a geographical aspect and logistics. The geographical aspect assessment is grounded on road climatic zoning which is characterized by geomorphological and climatic features of the territory. The logistics aspect is assessed through the mathematical modeling methods to calculate the transport load and is characterized by transport and technical characteristics of the road.Results. Features of federal road network development are considered, regulatory framework for the construction and exploitation of the national highways is analyzed, and federal highways are typified taking into account the territory’s peculiarities.Conclusion. The authors’ methodology takes into account the territorial peculiarities for the construction and exploitation of the national highways. It allows reducing costs in the construction and exploitation of the road system, increasing the life of the road, and, therefore, contributes to sustainable development of the road system in Russia.This obtained methodology can be the basis to articulate road-building strategy. Also, the methodology provides a comprehensive description of a highway that provides the opportunities to make changes in the technological schemes with due regard to the territory’s characteristics.

Published: October 2024

Introduction. The paper solves a complex problem of effective participation of state and local authorities in the processes of creation and development of technology parks in Russia. Aims. The paper is aimed to identify the features of the creation and operation of technology parks in the context of sustainable development of territories and to stimulate innovation, to assess the role of state structures and local authorities in creating the most effective mechanism for the operation of technology parks in Russia.The following methods were used: method of system analysis; structural method; method of comparative analysis; formal and logical method.Results. In the course of the research it was proved that state structures play an important role in the creation and functioning of technology parks. They can support the technology park in many ways, including playing the role of a founding partner, a sponsor, a service provider or a client. Roles and responsibilities assumed by state and local authorities depend on their interest in the economic development of their territories, on the range of responsibilities that are assigned to the government authorities in relation to the technology park, on the functional features and the management of technology parks. All these points must be taken into account when deciding whether to create a technology park in a particular area.Conclusion. In order to be effective and to promote the development of their basing territories, technology parks should maintain close ties with government structures at all levels of management, and the latter should clearly define how to create a system of interrelationships with each other and with participants of technology parks in order to ensure their effective functioning and formation of an optimum parity of all sources of financing the activity of technology parks. On the other hand, in order to ensure sustainable social development, federal, regional and local authorities must harmonize their interests and goals and fully promote the effective functioning of technology parks created on their territory.
Increasing motivation for physical education at school through integrated learning
Authors:   Secondary School No. 47, Pospelov Aleksandr V.
Published: October 2024

The article examines the relevance of using an integrated approach in teaching physical education in the fifth grade to increase students’ motivation to engage in physical culture. The problem of reducing the level of health of children of primary and senior school age has been identified, where one of the reasons influencing this indicator is a decrease in the level of motivation to engage in physical culture. The lack of this motivation stems from a misunderstanding of how physical activity affects the body. Undoubtedly, the current work programs on physical culture contain educational material on the disclosure of the topic of the effect of exercise on the body, but this is not always enough to stimulate physical education in the present and in the future. To solve the problem, the author suggests using tasks integrated with physical education in academic subjects. The results obtained after the introduction of complex tasks showed that the level of motivation for physical education increased. To assess the level of motivation, the author used the questionnaire of N.G. Luskanova adapted to the physical education subject. Together with an increase in the level of motivation, integrated tasks, according to the author’s hypothesis, were aimed at the formation of universal educational actions; to measure their formation, the author developed assessment tools (a test). The test results showed positive dynamics in the formation of universal learning activities due to the introduction of integrated tasks. Students began to better evaluate the technique of motor actions, as well as to produce a better self-assessment of the performance of their motor actions in sports mastered in physical education classes. At the same time, the author noted a number of positive aspects in changing the students’ attitude to physical education classes: the absence of difficulties for students in mastering physical culture, improving relationships with the teacher, the disappearance of negative attitudes towards the performance of written and practical tasks, which as a result led to the absence of skipping classes for no good reason.
Impressionism in Anton Chekhov’s works: History of the term
Authors:   St Petersburg University, Andoskina Valeriya A.
Published: October 2024

The article explores the history of the term “impressionism” in reviews of Chekhov’s prose and drama, which were written by his contemporaries, and in modern research of Chekhov’s creativity (the meaning of this word in historical context). Nowadays the term “impressionism” is popular with researchers of Chekhov’s prose and drama, but there is no strict and generally accepted meaning of it. Researchers suppose various features of impressionism in literature: the impressionistic writer depicts moments of a usual daily life, uses bright and light “paints” in descriptions of nature, prefers short stories and “sketches” instead of voluminous novels and the works of such a writer resemble the “unfinished” and “slipshod” pictures of impressionists created by inconsistent brush strokes, etc. The author of the article does not deny these conceptions of impressionism but believes that the understandings of impressionism should be studied firstly in the historical way. This article studies the uses of the term “impressionism” for more than 150 years: from first readers of Chekhov’s prose and viewers of his dramas to latest researchers. The analysis of the critical articles and research papers about Chekhov created in 1890–2020 showed that the definition “an impressionist” for Chekhov’s contemporaries meant “the author who wants to impress the reader/viewer of the work by creating a certain atmosphere and does not wish to examine ethical and social issues like previous writers/artists did”; and for researches of the 20th century this word meant “the author who belongs to impressionism as a style in art”. Nowadays the term “impressionism” is ambiguous: modern researchers often use this term unsystematically in both its meanings, so it is necessary to specify what a researcher means in a particular paper.

Authors:   National Research Tomsk State University, Savchenko Ulyana A. , Prokopenko Nikita I. ,   National Research Tomsk State University
Published: October 2024

Blended learning has become a widespread practice in universities, so there is a need to review approaches, methods and techniques for developing new effective educational strategies to maintain the quality of education. In this regard, new problems appear, for example, decrease of an emotional, personal interaction between teachers and students, absence of motivation, violation of self-discipline and, as a consequence, a drop in academic performance. These challenges can be overcome through the integration of digital tools. This research is dedicated to the problem of choosing and effective using of digital instruments by higher school teachers. The absence of a systematic analysis and comparison of different tools leads to difficulties in choosing the most appropriate instruments for a particular subject, teacher or students. Also, there are problems with the estimation of the efficiency of using these instruments. In this regard, the necessity to systematize the experience of using digital tools, based on teaching practices presented in the study, arises. We conducted a review of more than two hundred scientific literature studies; the final sample includes 46 articles, which directly affected particular digital tools for learning. During the literature analysis, we divided digital instruments into several groups depending on which teacher’s tasks it solves: (1) subject-specific professional skills development; (2) organization of communication in terms of distance learning; (3) organization of interaction between teacher and students; (4) educational content development; (5) soft skills development; (6) organization of project work; (7) assessment. As a result, we conducted available and actual digital tools, which are used in teaching practice by distributing them according to the tasks above. We conclude with the following findings: digital instruments can significantly enrich educational process, increase students’ motivation and self-discipline; they can help to promote the development of subject-based skills, solve problems in various organizational forms of classes; using digital instruments is accompanied by a special organization of the educational process with a transformation of forms, methods and techniques. The teacher should know which digital instrument solves a teaching problem in blended learning and how to use it, and also should have the ability to integrate it in the educational process.

The growth of conflicts in the educational environment poses the problem of preparing future teachers to work with conflicts. Mastering constructive strategies of behavior in conflicts is an integral part of professional training. The aim of the article is to evaluate the results of testing the algorithm for the formation of a conscious choice of a strategy of behavior in conflict among students of a pedagogical university when doing the pedagogical conflictology course. The study was carried out on the basis of systemic, process, and competence-based approaches. Before-After/Experimental-Control designs (BA/EC) became a form of study organization. Theoretical and empirical research methods were used. We used the C. W. Thomas Test Questionnaire “Diagnosis of Personality Predisposition to Conflict Behavior” (adapted by N. V. Grishina) to diagnose strategies for a person’s behavior in conflict. The subjects were 337 third-year students from different faculties of South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University. IBM SPSS Staristics 23 program was used for statistical data processing. The article presents the results of the study of the future educators’ behavior strategies. Empirical evidence has shown that future educators who do not know the basics of pedagogical conflictology act spontaneously, unknowingly, and often use non-constructive strategies in a conflict situation. The authors propose an algorithm for the formation of conscious behavior in the conflict of future teachers, as well as the results of its application in the course of pedagogical conflictology. The authors state that there are differences in the choice of constructive strategies between the students of the experimental group and the control group. Students from the experimental group more often than students from the control group began to use strategies such as compromise (28.6% versus 18.2% before the experiment) and cooperation (27.3% versus 23%) after the intervention. In the control group, on the contrary, the proportion of students using the rivalry strategy was higher (28.5%) than in the experimental group after the experiment. Most students in a conflict situation began to analyze their own interests and the consequences of the conflict for further interaction with the other side. Based on the results of the study, the authors developed an algorithm for teaching future educators an informed approach to choosing strategies for behavior in conflict. This algorithm can be used in the process of teaching the pedagogical conflictology discipline in pedagogical universities.

The article discusses three electoral cycles in Georgia: 2012, 2016, and 2020. Among the main issues in the political party programs that make the parties different are the territorial integrity of the country, relations with Russia and the collective West, as well as issues of economic stability that has become even more sensitive in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. Given these facts, the author seeks to understand how electoral support for the parties changed during the last three electoral cycles in Georgia municipalities. Besides, the author tries to uncover some possible patterns of electoral behavior that are closely connected with the present cleavages in Georgian society and economic situation. In order to answer the questions, the author used non-spatial models of spatial analysis. Firstly, the transformation of electoral preferences in Georgian municipalities is characterized with the use of cartograms of box blots of voting for Georgian Dream, United National Movement, and Alliance of Patriots of Georgia. Secondly, the author used multi-variable analysis on the basis of parallel coordinate plot (PCP) in order to analyze the voting patterns. When conducting the analysis, such indicators were included as the unemployment rate in municipalities, Georgian, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Russian, and Ossetia population, as well as Orthodox, Armenian Orthodox, and Muslim population. Electoral choice in Georgia is determined, among others, by the spatial factor, the ethnic and religious composition of Georgian municipalities, their economic indicators, as well as their position on the map, i.e., which country borders a particular Georgian municipality. Little support for United National Movement is shown by municipalities that border the Russian Federation excluding Kakheti. Besides, municipalities with a big proportion of Armenian population also show low electoral support for the party. At the same time, municipalities bordering Turkey actively vote for United National Movement. As for Georgian Dream, Georgians in municipalities bordering Abkhazia and South Ossetia, as well as along the Russian border, highly support the party since one of its core issues on the agenda is recreating the territorial integrity of the state. However, Kakheti and Mtskheta-Mtianeti show low electoral support for the party. In addition, this party promotes the idea of expanding economic and political ties with Turkey, albeit the bordering municipalities are not enthusiastic about the idea and grant lower support for the party as a result. Municipalities on the Russian, Turkish, and Armenian border at the same time show high support for Alliance of Patriots of Georgia, which is connected with religious, ethnic, political, and economic cleavages.

The aim of the article is the identification of the specificity of metaphorical modeling of the Russian legal terminology in the aspect of the types involved as bases of cognitive models. The theoretical and methodological basis is approaches developed within a cognitive approach to the semantics of the term and metaphorology (conceptual metaphor theory, metaphorical modeling theory, extended conceptual metaphor theory). The analysis methodology includes the continuous selection method, MIPVU; the components’ and conceptual frames’ analysis method, the metaphorical modeling procedure. The empirical data are 909 legal metaphor terms in Russian. The study established the following. The metaphorical fragment of the legal terminology is diverse. In the aspect of the semantics of the source conceptual domains for the representation of knowledge in the field of law, the macrocategories of HUMAN, OBJECT, and SPACE prevail. The HUMAN macro-category is more often used to reveal abstract legal domains such as LEGAL, JUDICIAL, ECONOMIC, CIVIL, POLITICAL, PROCEDURAL, ILLEGAL ACTION, and LEGAL STATE. Models representing physical actions of a human are more actively involved in legal knowledge modeling. The representations of character traits, mental, communicative and social actions are also applied. The macro-category OBJECT most often profiles the characteristics of the legal domains, OBJECT OF LEGAL RELATIONS and its PROPERTIES, OBJECT OF ECONOMIC, POLITICAL AND CIVIL RELATIONS, and PROPERTY OF OBJECT OF ECONOMIC RELATIONS. The most common notions about the object are most often involved here: the majority of metaphors are based on image-schemes. The macro-category SPACE forms such abstract legal domains as PROPERTIES OF THE OBJECT OF LEGAL AND ECONOMIC RELATIONS, SUBJECT OF LEGAL RELATIONS, LEGAL STATUS, STATE OF THE OBJECT OF ECONOMIC RELATIONS, and LEGAL ACTION. Spatial organization and movements notions are involved more consistently. In the aspect of organization, the markers of the spatial part and size are more prominent. Within terms’ semantics modeling based on this knowledge, the image-scheme “source–path–goal” is actively applied, but representations of the vertical direction of spatial movements are rarely involved.

The article examines the role of migration in the formation of the national diaspora outside the traditional area of residence of the Albanian ethnos. The authors conducted a content analysis of documents of international organizations that monitor and regulate population migration, the European Union, as well as Albanian plans for the development of the diaspora. Two periods of Albanian migration were identified: within the first period, which lasted until the fall of the communist regime in the early 1990s, an “old” diaspora was formed in Europe based on the population of Albania proper; the second period, which continues to the present, is characterized by the formation of a “new” diaspora of Albanians – immigrants from Kosovo, Montenegro and Macedonia. In the 1990s, the migration of Albanians was predominantly spontaneous. In the 2000s, as a result of the liberalization of the visa regime with the EU countries, migration from Albania gradually became more organized and in line with European requirements: one of the results of this was the increase in the scale of return migration of Albanians. In the 2010s and early 2020s, there was an increase in the power of migration flows from Asian countries to the European Union, which led to a migrant crisis – Albania has become a country of transit non-Albanian migration for the first time. The geographical structure of migration from Albania over the past 30 years has undergone a significant transformation due to a change in the priorities of the Albanians, who choose for their resettlement not territorially close (Greece and Italy), but economically more developed (USA; Canada; Belgium; UK – especially after Brexit; Germany – the main destination of migration flows from Albania at the moment) countries. This trend has become especially noticeable since the mid-2000s, which is explained by the growing share of migrants with higher education leaving the country legally. The leadership of Albania uses the influential diaspora in negotiations with Brussels regarding the country’s accession to the EU and remittances from Albanian migrants form – according to various estimates – up to 25% of its GDP. The final part of the article draws conclusions that without the help of Albania the diaspora can gradually dissolve in the accepting society, while the state, without taking steps to strengthen ties with the diaspora, will lose the assistance of millions of compatriots, many of whom have unique knowledge, financial and technological capabilities.
