Auditory Nerve Fiber Discrimination and Representation of Naturally-Spoken Vowels in Noise
Authors: Heeringa Amarins N. , Köppl Christine
Published: January 2022

To understand how vowels are encoded by auditory nerve (AN) fibers, a number of representation schemes have been suggested that extract the vowel’s formant frequencies from AN-fiber spiking patterns. The current study aims to apply and compare these schemes for AN-fiber responses to naturally-spoken vowels in a speech-shaped background noise. Responses to three vowels were evaluated; based on behavioral experiments in the same species, two of these were perceptually difficult to discriminate from each other (/e/ vs /i/), and one was perceptually easy to discriminate from the other two (/a:/). Single-unit AN fibers were recorded from ketamine/xylazine-anesthetized Mongolian gerbils of either sex (n = 8). First, single-unit discrimination between the three vowels was studied. Compared with the perceptually easy discriminations, the average spike timing-based discrimination values were significantly lower for the perceptually difficult vowel discrimination. This was not true for an average rate-based discrimination metric, the rate d-prime (d’). Consistently, spike timing-based representation schemes, plotting the temporal responses of all recorded units as a function of their best frequency (BF), i.e., dominant component schemes, average localized interval rate, and fluctuation profiles, revealed representation of the vowel’s formant frequencies, whereas no such representation was apparent in the rate-based excitation pattern. Making use of perceptual discrimination data, this study reveals that discrimination difficulties of naturally-spoken vowels in speech-shaped noise originate peripherally and can be studied in the spike timing patterns of single AN fibers.
On Academic Writing (and My Mother-in-Law)
Authors: Morsi Yassir
Published: January 2022

Francis Badley charges academics with employing their own “academese” language, which he describes as “turgid, soggy, wooden.” Over the years, I have wondered whether I inherited a problematic academese way of writing, speaking, researching on the racism found within the “War on Terror.” Moreover, I have considered whether the academese sanitized my creativity and stole my freedom to speak back to Islamophobia through a traditionalist and spiritually ladened Islam. In the Sufi tradition, knowing the “nafs” (the self) is as a vital part of a Muslim’s spiritual growth. My article translates this principle to mean writing an autoethnography—writing to bear witness against my academic self and my use of “academese.” But my autoethnography also highlights the westernese in academese—a language that espouses a dominant Eurocentric aesthetic to scholarly discourses.

Authors: Nakonechna O.I. , Stratiichuk D.A. , Kuryliuk A.M. , Belyavina N.N.
Published: January 2022

In this work NiC carbides were manufactured by HP-HT sintering of mechanically alloyed charges of the elemental Ni–carbon nanotubes (CNT) or Ni–Graphite. Structural features of the materials obtained were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction studies have revealed that the crystal lattice of nickel carbide obtained from mechanically alloyed Ni–CNT charge is supplemented with additional Carbon atoms from the graphite shell of the high-pressure cell at HT-HP sintering. On the other hand, nickel carbide fabricated from mechanically alloyed Ni–Graphite charge retains its composition. It is shown that materials studied in this work demonstrate an advanced value of microhardness (up to 7 GPa).

Generalized Exterior Algebras
Authors: Marchuk N.
Published: January 2022

Exterior algebras and differential forms are widely used in many fields of modern mathematics and theoretical physics. In this work, we define a notion of N-metric exterior algebra, which depends on N matrices of structure constants. The usual exterior algebra (Grassmann algebra) can be considered as a 0-metric exterior algebra. The Clifford algebra can be considered as a 1-metric exterior algebra. N-metric exterior algebras for N ≥ 2 can be considered as generalizations of the Grassmann and Clifford algebras. Specialists consider models of gravity that are based on a mathematical formalism with two metric tensors. We hope that the 2-metric exterior algebra considered in this work can be useful for the development of this model in gravitation theory and,especially, in the description of fermions in the presence of a gravity field.

Coronavirus and political “turbulence” in Ukraine in 2020
Authors: Krivchik Gennady
Published: January 2022

The purpose of the article: to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the socio-political life in Ukraine. Research methods: dialectical, analytical, descriptive, system-structural. The documentary basis of the study is a large array of informational and journalistic publications devoted to individual episodes and phenomena of fighting the pandemic and its consequences. In addition to scientific interest, the author of this article was inspired to write personal observations and impressions of the treatment of the disease in one of the hospitals in Dnipro, where he had the opportunity to feel the great danger of a terrible disease and see with his own eyes unsatisfactory material and technical condition of our hospitals. The author notes extraordinary courage of doctors and all medical staff who faithfully performed their duties and fought for life and health of each person. Scientific novelty: for the first time the socio-political development of the country in connection with the pandemic, which revealed many acute problems of Ukrainian society, is comprehensively shown. Main results: incompetence of the state apparatus and unwillingness of the state to give an adequate response to a serious challenge are revealed. Medical facilities, including hospitals, are unable to accept large numbers of patients, to provide them with appropriate treatment due to outdated equipment, lack of qualified staff, low salaries of medical staff, etc. Due to the U. Suprun’s reform, who served as the Minister of Health of Ukraine during 2016–2019, the old health care system was destroyed. As for the new system, it is created “in turbo mode” on the principle of “money follows the patient”. This system proved to be ineffective in the domestic realities; in fact it is antisocial, as basic medical services are inaccessible to a large number of Ukrainian citizens. On the other hand, the central government often provoked regions and communities into disobedience, creating conflicts, in particular when carrying out ill-conceived quarantine measures and compromising itself with double standards during the quarantine. All this has led to political turbulence in the political life of Ukraine, i. e. to a socio-political phenomenon similar to the movement of the aircraft, which due to oncoming stormy air waves begins to tremble and loses control. Type of article: analytical.
O ethos do herói voluntário e os estereótipos sobre a África no discurso humanitário
Authors: Bitencourt Daiane Rodrigues de Oliveira
Published: January 2022

Este artigo analisa o vídeo “How to get more likes on Social Media”, a fim de descrever a construção do ethos do voluntário como um herói e os estereótipos sobre a África apresentados no vídeo. A análise baseia-se nas noções de cena validada, ethos (MAINGUENEAU, 2006, 2010, 2015, 2020) e estereótipos (ALLPORT, 1979; AMOSSY; PIERROT, 2001; GATTI, 2014; BURKE, 2017). O vídeo é uma produção do Norwegian Students’ and Academics’ International Assistance Fund (SAIH), uma agência humanitária internacional, politicamente independente, que promove o acesso à educação em diferentes países. A agência critica o modo simplificado, redutor e muitas vezes pejorativo como a mídia ocidental, as organizações humanitárias e os discursos acadêmicos disseminam informações sobre a África. Para combater essas simplificações, a agência realiza campanhas problematizando esses estereótipos, como o vídeo analisado. Os resultados mostram que as campanhas estabelecem duas imagens: um ethos de um herói bom e bem-intencionado versus estereótipos de africanos como passivos, pobres e doentes.

On one method of solving the three-dimensional problem of physically non-linear deformation of transversal-isotropic multi-variable bodies
Authors:   National university of Uzbekistan named after Mirzo Ulugbek, Polatov Askhad
Published: January 2022

The method for solving the three-dimensional problem of elastic-plastic deformation of transversely isotropic multiply connected bodies by the finite element method (FEM) is presented in the article. The process of solving the problem consists of: determining the effective parameters of a transversely isotropic medium; construction of the finite element mesh of the body configuration, including the determination by the front method of the local minimum value of the width of the tape of non-zero coefficients of equation systems; constructing the coefficients of the stiffness matrix and the components of the node load vector of the equation of state of an individual finite element according to the theory of small elastic-plastic deformations for a transversely isotropic medium; the formation of a resolving symmetric-tape system of equations by summing the coefficients of the equations of state of all finite elements; solution of the system of symmetric-tape system of equations by means of the square root method; calculation of the elastic-plastic stress-strain state of the body by performing the iterative process of the method of elastic solutions AA Ilyushin. For each stage of solving the problem, effective computational algorithms have been developed that make it possible to reduce the number of computational operations by modifying existing methods of solving and taking into account the structure of the matrix coefficients. As an example, the solution of the problem of deformation of a transversally isotropic body in the form of a rectangle with a circular notch in the center is given.

n the production of building materials, uncertainty arises due to the fact that integrated production teams include workers of various specialties, different machines, objects of labor and the activities of all these elements are interrelated and structured poorly. The process of reinforcing structural links between the elements of the system and reducing the degree of uncertainty associated with the human factor is considered through the production of a reasonable assortment of building materials whose characteristics must satisfy the specific functional purpose and operating conditions required individually for each structure in the real estate object. The technological process in this work is considered from the position of two participants in the production process: the consumer and the manufacturer, who have different views on the quality of the final product. Therefore, the choice of the technological process for the production of assortment of building materials is proposed to be carried out on the basis of compositions of models of preferences of both participants.

MODELING THREE-INERT OSCILLATOR
Authors:   Kurgan State University, Popov Igor
Published: January 2022

We consider a system with uniform oscillatory elements, namely, three massive loads (three-inert system). The possibility of occurrence of such a system free of harmonic oscillations which, as in the conventional oscillatory systems is caused by that its elements are different character reactivity. The oscillating system with three homogeneous (inert) components different reactivity is achieved by summing the spatial shift (2p/3) and phase shift (2p/3). The three-inert oscillator there is a mutual exchange between the kinetic energies of loads. Unlike traditional vibration systems free vibration frequency oscillatory systems with homogeneous elements do not depend on the system parameters and determined solely by the initial conditions, so that they can make available to any harmonic oscillations initially set frequency.
MODELING OF THE PRIVILEGED REFERENCE SYSTEMS
Authors:   Kurgan State University, Popov Igor
Published: January 2022

It is shown that for uniform and rectilinear motion of two, three or several free inert bodies in one-dimensional or three-dimensional space, arbitrary inertial frames of reference, including those associated with each of the moving inert bodies, are not substantially equivalent in the part of the total kinetic energy. In this case, none of these frames of reference is not unique or distinguished. If it is necessary to select a unique or selected inertial reference frame, one can start from the condition of a minimum of the total kinetic energy of the moving inert bodies in this system. In this case, a unique or distinguished inertial reference system is a relict reference frame connected with the center of masses of the moving inert bodies and with the epicenter of their initial hypothetical interaction. Relict systems of reference are calculated. The bodies do not necessarily interact with them in the first place. The use of relict reference systems allows you to maintain a balance between kinetic energy and the work done. The number of inert bodies in calculating the relict frame of reference can be arbitrarily large.

A correlation-regression analysis of the company's revenue dependence on the foreign economic activity factors was performed using the example of the Center for Appraisal and Analytical Technologies “Analytics.” The employees number (x1), rate $ (x2), rate € (x3), number of new open representative offices and branches for the period (x4) and service names in the company's nomenclature at the end of the period (x5) and number of suppliers at the end of the period (x6) revenue from the sale of medical equipment for the period (x7) and revenues from equipment maintenance and repair activities for the period (x8) and revenues from other activities for the period (x9), customs duties on equipment imports for the period (x10) and imports for the period (x11) and number of protectionism measures applied to the Russian Federation for the period (х12) and the number of measures of liberalization of foreign economic activity applied to the Russian Federation for the period (x13) was chosen as an external factor. The number of explanatory variables was reduced from 12 to 7 after the logical relationship between the factors analysis. Correlation analysis showed that many variables are intercorrelated. So, 8 regression models were constructed to avoid the negative effect of multicollinearity. These models do not contain strongly related factors. Statistical measures such as confidence intervals, the coefficient of determination, the Student’s index and the Fisher coefficient are given to assess the quality of the constructed models. It is shown that the constructed regression models are statistically significant. It’ll become possible to predict the results of the activity of the Center for Information Technologies "Analytics" in future periods if we used the regression models found. Also we could to minimize the risks due to the determination of the company's sources of income which determines the practical significance of the work.

Published: January 2022

The paper discusses the key stages of developing an integrated methodology for predicting the stress-strain state of a sand-polymer mandrel-plastic shell system during heat treatment with the adaptation of experimentally determined viscoelastic characteristics of components in the CAE ANSYS Mechanical APDL package. The first stage solves the problem of determining the effective viscoelastic characteristics for the shell. Viscoelastic characteristics are determined on the basis of the developed complex experimental calculation method based on the solution of boundary quasistatic problems of thermomechanics on a representative volume at two scale levels. The results obtained in this work, based on experimental data and developed numerical methods for determining the thermo-viscoelastic characteristics of composites, make it possible to estimate the contribution of stress relaxation in the mandrel and the shell to the evolution of the stress-strain state in the process of manufacturing the shell. Also, the developed technique makes it possible to predict the appearance of technological defects and determine the stages of heat treatment at which these defects occur.

Os resultados são explicados a partir das metas específicas de cada um dos fatores envolvidos.
Non-linear didactic technology-based intervention to enhance basic motor competencies with MOBAK-5: a pilot study in primary school
Authors: Monacis Domenico , Colella Dario , Limone Pierpaolo
Published: January 2022

Introduction: Technologies in physical education, as Exergames (EXGs) or Active Videogames (AVGs), represent a useful tool to increase levels of physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior, but their effectiveness on motor competence development is still unclear. The aim of the study is to gain new knowledge about the development of motor competences, assessed under two different experimental conditions: (a) technology-based intervention protocol without teacher mediation, and (b) technology-based intervention with teacher mediation, based on the variation of teaching styles in a non-linear didactic approach. Material and methods: The sample consisted of 120 primary school children, ranged from 10 to 11 years, divided in Normal weight (Nw) and Overweight-Obese (Ow-Ob), according to BMI, and assigned to Experimental Group (EG) and Control Group (CG). EG followed a non-linear didactic approach, based on the use of different teaching styles, proposing different variants of motor tasks, and soliciting various learning methods, while in CG teachers explained and demonstrated only one variant of the proposed task, with children practicing and performing sequentially what was proposed. Motor competencies development was assessed with MOBAK-5, pre- and after one week at the end of intervention. Results: Evidenced positive effects on both Nw and Ow-Ob groups in EG, and on total sample, improving scores in all MOBAK subtest and total motor qualifications, while less positive effects can be observed in Control group for Normal-weight sample. Discussion: The integration of technology into physical education lessons, combined with non-linear didactics approaches represents an innovative and effective way to develop motor competencies in primary school. However, further studies are needed to confirm the results of this study.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of traditional and intermittent physical fitness-based teaching units on secondary school students’ motivation toward Physical Education, autotelic experience, and physical self-concept. Methods: Six classes [126 students (57.9% females) aged 13-15 years], balanced by grade, were cluster-randomly assigned into control (n = 40), traditional (n = 34) and innovative (n = 52) groups. The traditional group performed a physical fitness teaching unit twice a week for nine weeks (35-40 minutes of the main part of each session). The innovative group worked during the first half of the sessions’ main part (18-20 minutes) similarly to the traditional group, and during the second half they worked on invasion sports. Before and after the intervention, students’ motivation toward Physical Education and physical self-concept were measured through the Perceived Locus of Causality-II Scale and the short form of the Physical Self Description Questionnaire. Results: The Multilevel Linear Model showed that the control group students decreased statistically significantly in the integrated, introjected, and controlled motivation compared to those from the innovative and traditional groups (p < 0.05; d = 0.17-0.51). However, no statistically significant differences in the other motivational dimensions, nor on the autotelic experience and physical self-concept dimensions were found between the three groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Regardless of the teaching unit structure applied (i.e., traditional or intermittent), it could be necessary that Physical Education teachers apply specific strategies for improving these psychological variables of the students.

Reaction speed represents a crucial ability to achieve a high-performance level in volleyball. A reliable computerized test for assessing reaction speed cannot simulate the dynamic environment of the volleyball game. Therefore, tests involving the activation of large muscle groups are needed. This study aimed to determine the reliability of young volleyball players' reaction speed ability using the Stopping the rolling ball test (SRB). Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM) also expressed as a coefficient of variation (CV%), smallest worthwhile change (SWC), and minimal detectable change (MDC) were calculated. Paired t-test revealed no significant differences between test and re-test for first (t = -0.09, p = 0.92), mean of three (t = -0.37, p = 0.71), and best of three (t = -0.02, p = 0.98) trials. The ICC values showed poor relative reliability when the first trial was observed, while for the mean and best of three trials, reliability was consistently very high (excellent). The absolute reliability parameters (within-individual variation) showed large variations ranging from 5% to almost 10% and greater SEM (12.63 cm) for first trial when compared to other variables. The SEM was higher than SWC for all variables when the small differences (i.e., 0.2 multiplied by between-participants SD) were considered. This test showed a high level of absolute and relative reliability and usefulness, which means that the SRB test is an excellent indicator of reaction speed in young volleyball players.

Background. The influence of different strength training interventions on strength and competitive performance has been insufficiently examined in elite junior judokas. This study aimed to investigate the impact of different strength interventions in precompetitive training process of elite junior male judokas. Material and Methods. Fifty-three elite judokas (age: 17.22±1.37 yrs, height: 176.34±5.47 cm, body weight: 78.46±6.22 kg, judo training experience: 4.52±0.89 years) performed two different 8-week strength training interventions. Group 1 (n=27) were performed “strength” intervention, group 2 (n=26) were performed “CrossFit®” intervention about 5.3-6.0 hours per week. The base training exercises were as follows: bench press, barbell bench pull and lat pull-down, clean & jerk, snatch, squats and knee flexion curl, pull up. The handgrip strength test, the one-repetition maximum tests, pull up test and competitive performance evalution, were in this study. Results. In post-intervention period, were found that bench press and back squat findings were significantly (p≤0.05) higher in judokas (group 1) as compared to judokas (group 2). There were significantly (p≤0.05) higher pull upfindings in judokas (group 2). No significant differences were observed among the groups with regard to competitive performance values within 3.5 months after post-intervention. Conclusions. This study demonstrated that 8-week of different strength training interventions are not equally effective to increase performance of junior male judokas in specific strength tests and not to change competitive performance of athletes within 3.5 months after strength intervention. The final decision for the particular strength training intervention (“strength” or “CrossFit®”) can be decided according to an judoka's individual challenges during the competitive season.
Comparison of muscle activity during swimming and on the Biokinetic simulator
Authors: Vaneckova Jitka , Kabesova Hana
Published: January 2022

Introduction: The aim of the study is to evaluate the coordination similarity ratio of involvement of selected muscles (m. pectoralis major; m. latissimus dorsi; m. obliquus externus abdominis; m. triceps brachii) during the crawl swimming cycle as a target movement with imitation movement act. The research set comprised 16 elite swimmers specializing in crawl sprint tracks. Methods: The key research method was surface electromyographic analysis synchronized with video recording. The study was based on a quantitative description of electromyographic recordings of the observed movement acts. The research study has the character of an intra-individual and inter-individual comparative analysis of the coordination characteristics of the movement system. This is a sequential triangulation of a quantitative-qualitative approach and an intragroup case study with an experimental way of obtaining data. Results: Muscle activation of selected muscles during the crawl did not show a significant difference in effect size compared to the imitation movements on the Biokinetic swimming simulator.

Nutritional Interventions for Surgical Patients
Authors:   Director of Research and Development at MEND, Columbia University, New York, USA, Abdelaziz Alexa
Published: January 2022

During a state of trauma, such as injury or surgery, the body’s nutritional needs are expected to increase. The body enters a higher metabolic state and requires more energy, the immune system is weakened due to stress, and persistent inflammation delays full return to normal function. Surgical nutritional interventions have demonstrated that targeted nutrition can enhance outcomes in acute patients and chronic conditions. This paper reviews the state of the clinical evidence on nutrition as a remedy for improving musculoskeletal and surgical patient outcomes.

Due to an error in the reference plane, the elevation range shown for the digital elevation model (DEM) in Figure 5a is incorrect. The correct elevation range is 1629.41–1679.64 m. The DEM and orthomosaic map data were reprocessed using Agisoft Metashape 1.7.4. Processing parameters for the corrected DEM and orthomosaic differ slightly from those in Supplementary table 1 as a result of correcting the reference plane and differences in technical specifications of the computers used to process data. The corrected DEM, orthomosaic, and processing parameters are available for download at: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4592344. The corrected Figure 5 and Supplementary table 1 appear in the PDF. The error does not affect the interpretation of data in the original article.

Özet

Konstriktif perikardit (KP), elastik olmayan perikardın, kalp dolumunu engellemesi nedeniyle ortaya çıkan bir diyastolik kalp yetmezliği şeklidir. KP, açıklanamayan kalp yetmezliğinin ayırıcı tanısında, özellikle korunmuş sol ventrikül ejeksiyon fraksiyonlu kalp yetmezliği hastalarında düşünülmelidir. KP gelişimi

için risk faktörleri; önceden kalp ameliyatı ve radyasyon tedavisini içerir, ancak çoğu vaka halen idiyopatik olarak kabul edilmektedir. Teşhisi zor olabilir ve sıklıkla kardiyak görüntüleme ve hemodinamik kateterizasyon ile desteklenen ekokardiyografik değerlendirme gerektirir. Komplet cerrahi perikardiyektomi, kronik KP için tek etkili tedavi yöntemidir. Genellikle kardiyak manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ile tanımlanan subakut enflamatuar KP’li hasta alt grubu, anti-enflamatuar tedavilere cevap verebilmektedir.
