Comparing the performance of Fibrosis-4 and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Fibrosis Score with transient elastography scores of people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Authors: Cox Ben , Trasolini Roberto , Galts Ciaran , Yoshida Eric M , Marquez Vladimir
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND: With the rate of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) on the rise, the necessity of identifying patients at risk of cirrhosis and its complications is becoming ever more important. Liver biopsy remains the gold standard for assessing fibrosis, although costs, risks, and availability prohibit its widespread use with at-risk patients. Transient elastography has proven to be a non-invasive and accurate way of assessing fibrosis, although the availability of this modality is often limited in primary care settings. The Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Fibrosis Score (NFS) are scoring systems that incorporate commonly measured lab parameters and BMI to predict fibrosis. METHOD: In this study, we compared FIB-4 and NFS scores with transient elastography scores to assess the accuracy of these inexpensive and readily available scoring systems in detecting fibrosis. RESULTS: Using an NFS score cut-off of –1.455 and a FibroScan score cut-off of ≥8.7 kPa, the NFS score had a negative predictive value of 94.1%. Using a FibroScan score cut-off of ≥8.7 kPa, the FIB-4 score had a negative predictive value of 91.6%. CONCLUSION: The NFS and FIB-4 are non-invasive, inexpensive scoring systems that have high negative predictive value for fibrosis compared with transient elastography scores. These findings suggest that the NFS and FIB-4 can provide adequate reassurance to rule out fibrosis in patients with NAFLD and can be used with select patients to circumvent the need for transient elastography or liver biopsy.
Facilitating Interactions between Additional-Language Students and Highly Competent Speakers
Authors: Fischer Brett , Viens Danielle , Rondeau Diane , Turgeon-Gouin Catherine , Plaxton Elizabeth
Published: June 2021

La globalisation et les nouvelles technologies signifient que les apprenants d’une langue étrangère profitent maintenant d’un accès sans précédent à des interactions naturalistes avec des locuteurs natifs ou hautement compétents. Même si la majorité des apprenants préférerait que ces interactions se déroulent sous la supervision d’un professeur, seuls certains professeurs voudront ou pourront ce faire. La présente étude qualitative orientée sur la collectivité vise à déterminer ce qui influence les décisions de professeurs d’organiser ou non des interactions entre apprenants et locuteurs hautement compétents dans le cadre de leurs pratiques d’enseignement. Un total de 22 professeurs de langues étrangères de six collèges préuniversitaires au Québec ont été rencontrés. Ils ont parlé d’une variété d’activités auxquelles des locuteurs hautement compétents peuvent participer, comme des stages de langue, des sorties culturelles, des projets de service, des programmes de tutorat et des périodes d’études à l’étranger sous la supervision d’un professeur. Les résultats d’une analyse qualitative complémentaire indiquent que les professeurs choisissent d’ajouter des interactions avec des locuteurs hautement compétents à leur pratique en salle de classe en raison de résultats d’apprentissages positifs observés chez leurs apprenants, de leurs expériences personnelles comme apprenants et des valeurs qui leur sont chères comme éducateurs. Cependant, les participants ont été d’avis que de nombreux professeurs n’adoptent pas de telles pratiques à cause d’un manque de formation, d’inquiétudes liées à la logistique et de facteurs contextuels comme l’anxiété des apprenants, un manque de soutien dans la culture scolaire et la pression de répondre à des objectifs mandatés de l’extérieur. Les résultats suggèrent qu’il existe le besoin d’intégrer systématiquement les interactions des apprenants avec les locuteurs hautement compétents dans le curriculum, pour redéfinir les objectifs afin de cibler un apprentissage approfondi, de créer des appuis institutionnels pour les professeurs et de permettre une compréhension plus vaste du rôle des professeurs de langue comme facilitateurs de croissance personnelle et d’une citoyenneté internationale.

Productivity of the mother root and cutting garden of the pumiselect clone rootstock in the Steppe of Ukraine The dynamics of productivity of the mother root & cutting garden of the Pumiselect clone rootstock was studied, taking into account the soil and climatic conditions of the steppe zone of Ukraine, as well as technological aspects of crop management. In the first three years of vegetation of mother plants, there was an intensive build-up of the aboveground part of the bushes, which gave rise to transfer them to the state of operational plantings. Taking into account the annual complete alienation of growth in the next 4-9 years, significant aging of plants occurred, which was manifested in a decrease in habitus indicators, the number of shoots and their length. As a result, the productivity of mother root plantings decreased (the number of cuttings from 570.2 thousand units)/ha up to 133.6 thousand units/ha), which limited the feasibility of long-term cultivation in order to obtain lignified cuttings. Keywords: Pumiselect, clone rootstock, mother root plantings, shoots, biometric characteristics, lignified cuttings.

Published: June 2021

Aim: In some regionsof Bayannaoer arsenicconcentration in well drinking water is higherthan the international standard of 10 μg/L. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of exposures to arsenic in drinking water on generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Materials and Methods: Asurvey was conducted in2016 among villagers in Hangjinhou County,Bayannaoer City, Inner Mongolia. A questionnaire was used to inquire about GAD, arsenic related neurological symptoms. Arsenic concentration in the water was measured and arsenicosis prevalence was assessed. Multinomial logistic regression and ordinal logistic regression were performed to evaluate the association of abnormal arsenic levels on increased GAD symptoms. Results: 446 participants were enrolled. Subjectswith exposure to water arseniclevels>10 μg/L were significantly more likely to have mild GAD than controls (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] =2.3, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-4.8). Participants who were diagnosed with arsenicosis were more likely to report mild anxiety than minimal anxiety compared to those who did not (AOR=2.3, 95% CI, 1.3-4.1). Survey respondents with palpitations, forgetfulness, headaches, dizziness, decreased taste, decreased hearing,loss of touch,abnormal warm and cold sensation, blurred vision, numbness and tingling were more likely to report mild, moderate and severe anxiety. Conclusions: Arsenic exposure was associated with a higher risk of GAD. Screening for arsenic exposure should be incorporated into the evaluation of GAD, in areas where arsenic in drinking water is known to be abnormal.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the financial situation of rural «Prosvit» on the territory of the Right Bank of Ukraine in 1920–1922. On the basis of mainly archival materials, the authors find out the problems and achievements of educators in financial activities, the influence of the Soviet regime on it, its consequences. The research methodology is based on a combination of general scientific methods (comparison, generalization, analysis) with interdisciplinary (structural-system method). The main methods during the preparation of the publication were historical-comparative, synchronous, statistical. The application of these methods helped to clarify the whole set of aspects related to the scientific problem. The scientific novelty of the work is that using the methods of analysis of historical documents, the authors analyze the impact of the financial situation of educational societies on their cultural and educational work in the first years of the Soviet regime. For the first time in Ukrainian historiography the peculiarities of the financial activity of rural «Prosvit», its role in the formation and development of societies are clarified. Conclusions. The financial activity of the rural «Prosvits» of the Right Bank of Ukraine in 1920–1922 is an important component of their functioning. It determined the development of societies as well as the cultural and educational level of the peasants. «Prosvit's» financial activities were significantly influenced by local conditions and state aid. The educators organized various events to increase their budget and spend money only when needed. The financial activities of the rural «Prosvit»  were under the total control of the Soviet regime. When the regime's attempts to turn educational institutions into «pocket» organizations became apparent, they were transferred to local funding and liquidated.
Традиційна демонологія Хмільниччини
Authors: Галайчук Володимир
Published: June 2021

The purpose of the article is a comprehensive description of demonological ideas and beliefs of the inhabitants of Khmilnyk district of Vinnytsia region, made on the basis of their own records from this part of the historical and ethnographic Volyn. The research methodology is based on a combination of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and special-historical (historical-typological) methods with the principles of historicism, systematization, scientificity and verification. When recording demonological materials, the main thing was to use the method of field ethnography. The works of famous Ukrainian ethnographers devoted to demonological ideas and beliefs of specific localities were used as role models. The scientific novelty of the work in the first situation was due to the publication of a large array of field ethnographic materials, which the author collected in 2014 in the villages of Voronivtsi, Zozulyntsi, Morozivka, Pagurtsi, Petrykivka, Pustovity, Rybchyntsi, Filiopol and town Khmilnyk. Most of them are published for the first time. In addition, the demonological tradition of Khmilnyk district has not yet been the subject of such accumulated attention. With the exception of some publications, the authors of which are the participants of the mentioned expedition in 2014 R. Siletsky, M. Bahlay and A. Kryvenko, these areas in this context were unknown to researchers of folk spiritual culture. Conclusions. Demonological tradition of Khmilnyk district at the beginning of the 20th century remains quite rich. Its main characters are witches and sorcerers, vampires, hobgoblins, mermaids, «potеrchatа», dead-«revenаnts», actually devils. In general, the demonology of the Khmilnyk district resembles the East Volyn region, which is natural. At the same time, there is a rapprochement with the Podillia tradition, in particular in the beliefs about vampirеs, about mermaids, about the elderberry as a «devil's tree» and so on. It is worth noting that the local population, sometimes clearly feeling the difference between their speech and Podillian, today identifies itself with Podillya.

Authors:   Institute of Archaeology of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Dolzhenko Yurii
Published: June 2021

This article is dedicated to the publication and the comparative analysis of 11 – 12 centuries Pereiaslavl (modern name Pereiaslav) cranial series found during excavations by D. Samokvasov (1877), V. Shcherbakivskyi (1914), and a permanent archaeological expedition of the National Historical and Ethnographic Reserve «Pereyaslav» under the leadership of M. Tovkailo (2004 – 2007), D. Teteria (2008 – 2012), M. Rozdobudko (2014 – 2016), O. Priadko (2015 – 2019). The purpose of the article is to introduce a new material into scientific domain, provide a general description of Pereiaslav population of 11th – 12th cent. on the background of neighboring ethnic groups from Ukraine and Eastern Europe (synchronistic method), determine the distance between separate cranial series of 11th – 12th cent. with the help of multidimensional canonical and cluster analysis, and to find out the place of 11th – 12th cent. Pereiaslav male population in the system of craniological types of Eastern Europe. This paper attempts to apply two typological approaches to the researched group. The methodology of the research. The research is based on the principles of historicism and objectivity, general scientific (analysis and synthesis), historical (comparative-historical), anthropological and statistical methods were used. The skulls were measured according to the full craniometric program using the standard R. Martin method, according to which the numbering of signs was indicated. Computer software developed by B. Kozintsev and O. Kozintsev in 1991 has been used in the research. 14 craniometric traits defined by R. Martin have been involved into the study. Scientific novelty of the work is that for the first time, the general male Old Rus selection of Pereiaslav town including 59 skulls has been created. According to the craniometric trait average value, the male part of the series can be classified as dolichocranic Caucasoid variant with moderately broad face. It has been proved that after uniting two male craniological groups from Pereiaslav, its representatives, according to typological scheme by T. Alekseeva, belong to dolichocranic, middle size face craniological type. This is the same type where Siverians, Dregoviches, Smolensk Krivichs, and Radimichs belong to. Grounding on V. Diachenko typology, the male group can be classified to some extend as Neopontic craniological type. Conclusion. The comparison of the male researched group from 11th – 12th cent. with synchronic series from Old Rus territory with the help of multidimensional canonical and cluster analysis has shown its similarity to town series from Liubech, Halych and to less extend Chernihiv.

The problem of analysis of pairwise connections between stocks of financial market by observations on stock returns is considered. Such problem arise in stock market network analysis. It is assumed that joint distribution of stock returns belongs to the wide class of elliptical distributions. Classical Pearson correlation, Fechner correlation and Kendall correlation are used as measure of dependence. The construction problems of sets of stocks with strong connections between its returns are investigated. The construction problems of sets of stocks with strong connections between its returns are investigated. To construct such sets the multiple hypotheses testing procedures on values of correlations are used. The properties of these statistical procedures are investigated by simulations. The simulation results show that procedures based on individual Fechner and Kendall tests lead to such sets of stocks with given confidence probability unlike procedure based on Pearson individual tests which do not control the confidence probability. At the same time it is emphasized that for Student distribution the constructed set is nearly the same to the confidence set. The procedure of consistency testing with elliptical model is proposed and exemplified. The peculiarities of the model are discussed.

The problem of “predatory” publishing has received well-deserved attention both in the scientific community and among the S&T managers. Previous studies have shown that this problem has a permanent and global scale and is particularly acute in certain scientific areas, including economic sciences. This research compiled a list of 45 sources, excluded from the Scopus database due to their violation of scientific ethics. Starting from 2015 Russian economists annually publish at least 1,000 papers in “toxic” sources, and on average for the period 2010–2019, almost every third publication of economics with the Russian affiliation was published in “predatory” journals. By the absolute number of “trash” publications during this period, Russia was the second only to India. In the formed “black” sources list, there are several journals with a clear focus on Russian economists — the share of their publications in the portfolio has exceeded 50%. The estimations show that the scale of the annual damage caused by the publication in “predatory” publications of Russian economists is comparable to the annual scientific budget of a fairly large economic university.

Authors:   Vologda Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vologda, Russia, Tret’yakova O.V.
Published: June 2021

The author assesses the state of Russian economic studies in 2016–2020, based on Web of Science Core Collection data. The dynamics of the publication productivity of Russian scientistseconomists is characterized, and a qualitative citation analysis of their works is carried out. We show that many Russian economic articles, published in the journals from WoS, are in Russian. The results of the citation analysis show that Russian-language publications are cited, on average, two times less often than the ones published in English. Consequently, they receive fewer references from the major international journals. The results of research allow forming proposals for increasing the visibility of Russian studies in the international space. One of the methods is a wider use of the bilingual publication model.

The paper discusses the ranking of journals based on the alternative to Scientometrics, where the basic unit of information is not the citation rate of publications, but their qualitative characteristics, obtained on the basis of the regular sociological survey of the economists’ community conducted by the “Journal of NEA” in 2020. The empirical data obtained made it possible to determine the size of the audience of each journal. The paper shows that the size of the journals’ readership has a direct impact on the respondents’ assessments of the quality of publications and scientific authority of the journals. The ranking of economics journals by each particular criterion — “Interest in Journal Publications”, “Scientific Level of Journals” and “Public Prestige of Journals” is presented. Use of the “Multiway data analysis” methodology has provided measurement not only of particular criteria that reflect hidden relations between their characteristics, but also determined the weight function of their aggregation in the aggregate ranking of journals — the “Ranking-2020”. The article also contains a comparative analysis of ranking the journals on the basis of the “Rating-2020” and re-rating of the RSCI and criticizes RSCI criteria “Science Index” and “Public Examination”.

The impact of interregional migration on regional economic and social sphere necessitates the determination of migration factors. An analysis of existing studies has shown that gravity models can be considered the most effective tool for migration flows analysis. At the same time existing studies show a weak elaboration of approaches that involve the separation of migration into different types depending on the goal of the relocation. The purpose of the article is to analyze the interregional migration flows in the context of types of migration identifying a set of factors that determine a particular type of migration. The main result obtained by the authors is the determination of three regional clusters that attract a certain type of migrants. Clustering was carried out using a set of indicators with a model-oriented clustering methods. The main conclusions made in the article are related to improving the quality of models when dividing regions into clusters and including different variables for certain types of migration. However, the authors note that the input data for the analysis is somewhat noisy, since it contains migrants of all ages. Therefore, the obtained regional groupings by type of migration are only the first approximation of differentiation by type of arriving or departing citizens. The results of the study can be used for further work on the definition of the determinants of interregional migration, as well as for studies on the impact of migration on regional labor markets and socioeconomic situation of regions.

Experts who work on the poverty issues agree that the group of poor is very heterogeneous. Based on duration of living below the subsistence level, authors identify persistent and transitory poverty. Income of those who face persistent poverty stays below the poverty line for a long time, while those who suffer from transitory poverty have unstable situation: after overcoming poverty for some time many of them can face the problem of low income again. Different methods exist for evaluating of the level of persistent and transitory poverty on both panel and cross-sectional data. The article presents the detailed description of advantages and limitations of different approaches to persistent poverty measurement. After consideration of these approaches the analysis of persistent poverty in Russia on RLMS HSE data is performed. Taking into account the huge set of previous studies we evaluate the share of persistently poor population according to methodology adopted in European countries, the profile of persistent poverty is also described. The results are compared with already existing data about chronic poverty in Europe.

This paper finds out the behavior patterns of the Russian banking sector and systemically important banks in response to changes in the population financial activity under the economic shocks. The results show that the Russian banking sector has a behavior pattern that includes the sequence of actions: the outflow of deposits — vulnerability to non-repayment of loans — deposit bubble — credit bubble. We find no consistent evidence that systemically important banks show the same sequence of actions during the crises. We also find that the banking sector behavior and systemically important banks’ behavior varied in 2008–2009, but became the same in the crisis of 2014–2015. The coincidence of behavior patterns of the banking sector and systemically important banks increases the systemic risk. Research on intragroup differences between systemically important banks will allow finding solutions to reduce the risk.

It is shown that special national guidelines for assessment of PPP efficiency are not a barrier to the approvement of inappropriate, from a public point of view, investment projects. The official approval of such regulations suggests that the Russian design system is skeptical about the possibility of a compromise between public efficiency and PPP projects. In foreign practice, the regulatory traditional requirements for the positive social effect from the development of toll roads are generally preserved, but the expediency of toll (in comparison with free road) is usually «confirmed» by listing its theoretical advantages. The systematic absence of correct calculations, including the examples in methodological documents, indicates the prevailing skepticism of the decision-making system towards rationale of tolling. The main conclusion of the article is that the theoretical notions of PPP as an effective mechanism and at the same time the limited practical choice of its schemes, with an obligatory direct user tolls, are the reason for the mimicry of the investment design system, which is forced to arrange inefficient solutions for road construction.
The community of researchers and “academic performance” evaluation
Authors:   HSE University, Moscow, Russia, Jakobson L.I.
Published: June 2021

An evaluation of “academic performance” is considered in the context of performance management in the sphere of science. An emphasis is made on the dependence of the evaluation on interests and, accordingly, on an inherently unrealistic development of an “objectively correct” evaluation which would be unanimously approved by those whose interests are not identical. A variety of researchers’ interest is stated together with a lack of institutionalized norms for working out a consolidated position. At the same time, the paper points out the deep-rooted nonidentical nature of the interests of scientists and those who design and implement the policy in the sphere of science. The demand of policy subjects for the formalization of evaluations, even at the cost of roughening the realities is also underscorred. Considering these realities, the conclusion is made about the hopelessness of the search for ideal solutions. At the same time, another conclusion is made that “academic performance” evaluation implemented in the sphere of science management could gradually become more acceptable for researchers. However, it depends not so much on the study and discussions of various evaluation systems as on the development of the research community and the formation of conditions for an effective dialogue between the latter and the subjects of the science policy.

We study economic journals published in Russia and indexed in the Russian Index of Science Citation (RISC). We analyze citations of 466 journals for 2016–2020 and compare these journals using several metrics: total citation count, Hirsch index, Impact factor RISC, and Science Index RISC. We also use network analysis for citation graphs and compare journals by centrality indices: Copeland index and two new indices: Bundle and Pivotal. We found that “Voprosy Ekonomiki” is the only journal that is among the top-5 journals for all metrics. Other top journals differ for different metrics. We noticed that some top journals have a questionable reputation and the reason why they are among the top journals is a high number of publications, which makes classical journals less influential with respect to the metrics.
RELATIONSHIP OF PRECIPITATION AND HABITAT TO THE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL ABUNDANCE OF AEDES ATLANTICUS AND AEDES INFIRMATUS IN ST. JOHNS COUNTY, FLORIDA
Authors: Steck Madeline
Published: June 2021

The purpose of this study was to perform descriptive and inferential analyses to better understand the presence of the abundant mosquito species Aedes atlanticus and Aedes infirmatus in St. Johns County, northeastern Florida. Historical surveillance data (2010-2019) obtained from Anastasia Mosquito Control District of St. Johns County, St. Augustine, FL, was organized to graph temporal mosquito abundance trends and inverse distance weighted (IDW) interpolation was used to map spatial distribution patterns of mosquitoes. Precipitation and habitat composition were investigated as spatiotemporal predictors of mosquito abundance using Pearson’s correlation statistics. There were considerable and inconsistent fluctuations in the population abundance of Ae. atlanticus and Ae. infirmatus across and within individual surveillance seasons during the last decade. Precipitation was significantly associated with total county-wide mosquito population counts by season (Ae. atlanticus, R = 0.810, p = 0.005; Ae. infirmatus, R = 0.850, p = 0.002), while the association with weekly mosquito population trends was inconsistently significant across species, lag time, and years. The proportion of surrounding land covered by upland forest, water, and agriculture was associated with species abundance at the spatial level of individual trap sites. Overall, the results identify that Ae. atlanticus and Ae. infirmatus share a spatiotemporal relationship and are similarly impacted by rainfall and habitat type. Findings of the study might help to inform improved surveillance by integrating IDW estimation maps with current district resources and improved knowledge of species’ ecology.
DIFFERENTIAL TOXICITY OF PYRETHROID AND ORGANOPHOSPHATE INSECTICIDES TO THE HONEY BEE, APIS MELLIFERA AND THE YELLOW FEVER MOSQUITO, AEDES AEGYPTI
Authors: Sanchez-Arroyo Hussein
Published: June 2021

Six insecticide active ingredients (AIs) and five commercial insecticide formulations were applied by topical application and onto filter paper strips to determine differential toxicity to Aedes aegypti (L.) and Apis mellifera (L.), and to evaluate their potential use in future insecticide resistance monitoring surveys. For topical application, 0.1 or 1 µl of the technical insecticide solution was applied to the Ae. aegypti and A. mellifera thorax, respectively. For insecticide-impregnated strips the insecticide amount varied, according with the commercial formulation. By topical application deltamethrin was the most toxic AI (LD 50 = 0.057 µg/g) to Ae. aegypti and prallethrin was least toxic (LD 50 = 19.42 µg/g). For A. mellifera, the most toxic AIs were deltamethrin (LD 50 = 0.013 µg/g) and bifenthrin (LD50 = 0.156 µg/g); and the least toxic was chlorpyrifos (LD 50 = 3.246 µg/g). When the insecticide-impregnated papers method was used, Mosquitomist Two (chlorpyrifos 24.6%) was the most toxic insecticide for Ae. aegypti (LC50 = 0.024 µg/cm2 ), and Aqualuer (permethrin 20.6%, PBO 20.6%) was least toxic (LC50 = 0.408 µg/cm2 ). For A. mellifera the most toxic commercial insecticide formulations were Talstar (bifenthrin 7.9%; LC50 = 0.288 µg/cm2 ) and Mosquitomist Two (LC50 = 0.299 µg/cm2 ), with no significant differences, and the least toxic commercial formulation was Deltagard (deltamethrin 2.0%; LC50 = 15.084 µg/cm2 ). By topical application, more than 28 times of chlorpyrifos was needed to obtain the same mortality in A. mellifera as in Ae. aegypti. When using the insecticide-impregnated paper method, more than 206 times of Deltagard was needed to obtain the same mortality in A. mellifera as in Ae. aegypti. Even though Mosquitomist Two was the most toxic insecticide for both insect species, the honey bees were >12 times more tolerant to this insecticide, compared with the mosquitoes.
A kriminálpolitika kapcsolata a magyar közszolgálati szervezetek migrációs tevékenységével
Authors: Szabó László András
Published: June 2021

A 2015. évi tömeges bevándorlás hatása leginkább a kriminálpolitika megváltozásán és ezzel összefüggésben a közigazgatási és rendészeti szervek migrációval foglalkozó szervezeteinek tevékenységében tapasztalható. Ezen szervezeteket alapvetően nem ilyen nagyságú és intenzitású migrációs nyomásra alakították ki, sem létszámban, sem infrastruktúrában. A Dublin III.2 rendelet, amelyet Magyarország is aláírt 2015 januárjában lépett hatályba két-háromszázezer menekült befogadását irányozta elő az egész Európai Unióban. Tanulmányomban a magyar migrációval foglalkozó közszolgálati szervezeteket és a kriminálpolitika kapcsolatát vizsgálom.
