Discursividad mediática sobre la informalidad urbana
Authors: Decima Debora Leticia
Published: June 2022

Se plantea indagar en las ideas construidas y puestas en circulación en torno a la informalidad urbana, a partir del análisis de la discursividad mediática ejercida desde la producción de noticias de distintos medios de comunicación. Para eso se lleva adelante el estudio de un caso paradigmático en el aglomerado San Miguel de Tucumán, con el objetivo de develar aquello que subyace a tales discursos en torno a la informalidad urbana y avanzar en la identificación de los intereses, métodos y estrategias con que opera cada medio analizado. El proceso de construcción de alteridad de ese otro que habita el barrio popular evidencia fenómenos de exclusión, invisibilización, así como también la promoción de un rol protagónico de los sectores populares, según la tipología del medio de comunicación, que favorece o contrarresta las condiciones de desigualdad.

Published: June 2022

Objective — to identify the features of the histological structure of the endometrium in women of reproductive age with hypoandrogenism, to optimize therapeutic tactics at the preconceptive stage.

Materials and methods. Examination of patients with androgen deficiency revealed 48 patients with endometrial hypoplasia by ultrasound markers. After examination on CD 138 and detection of chronic endometritis, 9 patients were excluded from the study. At second stage, immunohistochemical testing for estrogen, progesterone and androgen receptors was performed. According to the results, patients were divided into 2 groups: the first group (24 patients) with a high level of expression of androgen receptors and the second group (15 patients) with a low level of expression of androgen receptors. Both groups of patients received hormonal therapy for 3 months: estradiol valerate 1 g per day continuously and 200 mg of micronized progesterone from the sixteenth to the twenty-fifth day of the menstrual cycle, patients of the first group received additional dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in a dose of 25 mg per day in the form of sublingual spray.

Results. According to the ultrasound study in the first group of patients, the endometrium was normal both during treatment and 1 and 3 months after stopping treatment. The endometrium of women in group 2 showed positive changes during treatment (control after 1 and 3 months of therapy), and the absence of these effects after discontinuation of hormone therapy, which coincided with the restoration of intermenstrual bleeding in these women.

Conclusions. Optimization of the gravidar transformation of the endometrium of women with biochemically diagnosed hypoandrogenism and infertility requires study of the receptor potential of the endometrium. The established high levels of expression of androgen receptors at immunohistochemical examination of the endometrium can be considered as indication for the inclusion of DHEA spray forms in the complex of pre-pregnancy training. The combination of estrogen-progestogen therapy and androgens has a positive effect on the gestational potential of the endometrium in women of reproductive age with androgen deficiency.
Diabetogenic action of statins — mechanisms and consequences. Review
Authors: Serhiyenko V. O. , Serhiyenko O. O.
Published: June 2022

Over the past 20 years, the data according to the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM 2), usually using predefined subgroup analyses, has consistently shown conclusive evidence of reduced relative and absolute risk of CVD. However, enthusiasm for using 3-hydroxyl-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors has been significantly reduced by the results of follow up of patients in whom DM developed against the background of statins’ administration.The mechanisms by which statins may contribute to the DM 2 development have not been fully understood, but both targeted and non-targeted effects may be involved. These effects include: the effects on the mevalonate pathway, accompanied by inhibition of several pathways of cellular biosynthesis; activation of gluconeogenesis processes by increasing the expression of key enzyme genes; disruption of insulin signalling pathways; changes in circulating free fatty acids; hormones; functional and structural state of β-cells; maturation/differentiation of adipocytes. Additional mechanisms, particularly epigenetic regulation mediated by specific miRNAs (a class of short non-coding RNA molecules involved in the regulation of RNA translation and degradation), are also involved in the reduction of insulin secretion.Currently investigations are being conducted to elucidate the statin-induced mechanisms of DM 2 development. It has been established that therapy with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, although it affects the accession of DM 2, but helps to reduce the accession and/or progression of CVD. Therefore, statins should be continued in patients at high or very high risk of CVD to achieve the target levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Therefore, before starting treatment, it is necessary to assess the degree of risk. HbA1c and blood glucose levels should be monitored regularly in people at high risk for developing DM 2 who receive statins.

Temporal Ordering of Achievement Goals and Subjective Well-being in Faculty
Authors: Rinas Raven , Kiltz Lisa , Dresel Markus , Daumiller Martin
Published: June 2022

Research indicates that university faculty struggle with compromised subjective well-being tied to the challenging nature of their work. From a motivational perspective, several cross-sectional stud-ies have found faculty achievement goals to be differentially associated with aspects of their subjec-tive well-being. However, more research is needed to clarify inconsistent findings and to provide insights into the temporal ordering of these constructs. In the present study, we address these re-search gaps by assessing the associations between achievement goals and multifaceted subjective well-being (positive affect, low negative affect, job satisfaction, life satisfaction) in 493 faculty members across three months. Latent change score modelling revealed that higher levels of subjec-tive well-being at the semester start positively predicted increases in mastery approach and perfor-mance approach goals as well as decreases in performance avoidance and work avoidance goals. Moreover, higher levels of mastery approach and performance approach goals at the semester start also positively predicted increases in aspects of subjective well-being (positive affect and job satis-faction, respectively). Taken together, the present findings shed light on the temporal ordering of achievement goals and subjective well-being in faculty and suggest that subjective well-being broadly matters for goal setting processes, as opposed to the other way around.
Differential expression of SERTA domain-containing 4 in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: June 2022

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with early-onset breast cancer. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding SERTA domain-containing 4, SERTAD4, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast: in women aged 45 and younger, and women aged 70 and higher. SERTAD4 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of SERTAD4 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with basal subtype breast cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. SERTAD4 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.
Automatic Attention to Sexual Stimuli: Exploring the Role of Neuroticism and Sexual Excitation/Inhibition Through Event-Related Potentials
Authors: Aguiar Sandra , Carvalho Joana , Carrito Mariana Lurdes , Santos Isabel M.
Published: June 2022

Background: Previous findings have shown that neuroticism is a higher-order vulnerability factor in the development and maintenance of sexual dysfunctions and can have an impact on the attentional processing of sexual stimuli; however, the influence of psychosexual dimensions on the early automatic phases of such cognitive processes has not been established yet.Aim: Examine the mediating role of sexual inhibition/excitation propensity in the relationship between neuroticism and automatic attention to visual erotica and identify the neuroelectric correlates of such a process. Methods: We analysed the answers provided by 58 individuals in a sociodemographic questionnaire, in the Neuroticism subscale of the NEO-Personality Inventory-Revised (NEO PI-R) and in the Sexual Inhibition/Excitation Scales (SIS/SES). Event-related potentials (ERP) P1, P2 and N2 were recorded during a modified oddball paradigm containing romantic and sexually explicit pictures. Parallel mediations were performed to simultaneously test the mediating role of sexual inhibition/excitation in the relationship between neuroticism and each ERP of interest. Outcomes: Findings revealed an indirect effect of neuroticism on automatic attention, via sexual inhibition due to threat of performance failure (SIS1), for both romantic and sexually explicit stimuli. This effect was only significant for component N2, which showed increased amplitudes and earlier latencies in participants with high SIS1, as a result of high neuroticism. This suggests that neuroticism is linked to SIS1 which, in turn, impacts how sexual cues are attentively perceived. The neuroelectric signal shows that the highest the SIS1 the more salient and prioritised are the sexual cues.Clinical Translation: Findings suggest that sexual stimuli, due to their emotional valence and arousal potential, could be perceived as virtually threatening by individuals with neuroticism, and trigger maladaptive strategies, such as a stress response. These results provide a better understanding of the relationship between personality and sexual cognition and could help fine-tune clinical interventions for those who experience sexual difficulties. Strengths and Limitations: This was one of the first studies to analyse the neuroelectric activity associated with automatic attention towards sexual stimuli, in relation to personality and sexual excitation/inhibition propensity. Nevertheless, the limited number of participants and the constraints posed by the laboratory apparatus demand caution in the generalization of the results. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that automatic attentional mechanisms can hold a close relationship to personality and sexual-related domains, and open new avenues of research in relation to other automatic cognitive phenomena related to human sexual behaviour.
THE EFFECT OF DARK JOKES SPEAKING STYLE ON SIGNS OF THE MORAL CRISIS AMONG STUDENTS
Authors: Rizky Ahmad
Published: June 2022

Dark jokes are jokes that are very common among students, and sometimes these dark jokes are carried out in an exaggerated way so that they will offend other people. Furthermore, there is a moral crisis perspective on students who bring these dark jokes when they exceed the limit for just joking. This study used a qualitative descriptive method at the State Islamic University of KH. Abdurrahman Wahid. The results of this study are that most students who carry dark jokes do not have sufficient education, then there is an assumption that it is only a joke that does not need to be taken seriously, which is attached to most students, then the influence of this dark jokes style of speech often arises because of the lack of student religious education. Moreover, the existence of symbolic violence caused by excess when conveying dark jokes is typically ignored by students who convey these dark jokes which makes the dark jokes style of speech affect morale among students.
Ape knapping then and now: limited spontaneous social learning of stone-tool production and use in non-human apes
Authors: Rodrigo Alba Motes , Tennie Claudio
Published: June 2022

Ape knapping experiments complement human knapping experiments as a source of behavioural data to build hypotheses about the learning mechanisms underlying the acquisition of knapping skills in extinct hominins. In addition, ape knapping experiments provide information regarding the stone-related behaviours that could have preceded the systematic production and use of sharp stones in our lineage. In this chapter we review previous ape knapping experiments with a focus on those that tested apes' abilities to socially learn from human demonstrators. Two studies, investigating one orangutan and one bonobo, concluded that both apes could socially learn sharp stone tool-making and use from human demonstrations. These results were interpreted as evidence of the reliance of early hominins on social learning to acquire knapping skills. However, alternative explanations exist. We provide novel data from two experiments investigating the abilities of the two previously untested great ape species (chimpanzees and gorillas) to learn knapping from human demonstrations. Contrary to the previous studies, the chimpanzees and gorillas in our experiments did not acquire sharp stone tool-making or use socially from human demonstrations. However, the apes we tested frequently manipulated the testing materials and two chimpanzees engaged in two events of lithic percussion involving an active hammer (although these actions did not lead to flake detachment). Our results suggest that the observation of human demonstrations is insufficient for the tested apes to acquire knapping abilities. This disparity in results between studies is unlikely to be explained by species differences in tool-use proficiency but rather by the particular rearing background of the previously tested individuals. We discuss how our previous results on both the individual and social learning abilities of unenculturated, untrained orangutans compare to our new results on gorillas and chimpanzees. In addition, we comment on the general implications of ape knapping experiments for understanding the likely origin and maintenance of knapping skills in pre-modern hominins.

Optimal cognitive offloading: Increased reminder usage but reduced pro-reminder bias in older adults
Authors: TSAI PEI-CHUN , Scarampi Chiara , Kliegel Matthias , Gilbert Sam
Published: June 2022

Research into prospective memory suggests that older adults may face particular difficulties remembering delayed intentions. One way to mitigate these difficulties is by using external reminders but relatively little is known about age-related changes in such cognitive offloading strategies. We examined younger and older adults’ (N=88) performance on a memory task where they chose between remembering delayed intentions with internal memory (earning maximum reward per item) or external reminders (earning a reduced reward). This allowed us to distinguish 1) the absolute number of reminders used, versus 2) the pro- or anti-reminder bias, compared with each individual’s optimal strategy. Older adults used more reminders overall, as might be expected because they also had poorer memory performance. However, when compared against the optimal strategy weighing the costs versus benefits of reminders, it was only the younger adults who had a pro-reminder bias. Younger adults overestimated the benefit of reminders whereas older adults underestimated it. Therefore, even when ageing is associated with increased use of external memory aids overall, it can also be associated with reduced preference for external memory support, relative to the objective need for such support. This age-related change may be driven at least in part by metacognitive processes, suggesting that metacognitive interventions could lead to improved use of cognitive tools.
Neural Mechanisms of Memory
Authors: Amer Tarek , Davachi Lila
Published: June 2022

The ability to form and access memories of our experiences involves complex neural mechanisms at both the cellular and systems levels. Animal and human (including lesion and neuroimaging) studies have evidenced a critical role for the hippocampus and connected brain regions in these processes. The current chapter will review the role of the hippocampus in the different stages of long-term memory, namely, encoding, consolidation, and retrieval. Specifically, this chapter will illustrate how the hippocampus, in conjunction with other brain regions, supports these processes, giving rise to our rich experience of remembering.
Human male body size predicts increased knockout power, which is accurately tracked by conspecific judgments of male dominance
Authors: Caton Neil Robert , Brown Lachlan M , Zhao Amy , Dixson Barnaby
Published: June 2022

Humans have undergone a long evolutionary history of violent agonistic exchanges, which would have placed selective pressures on greater body size and the psychophysical systems that detect them. The present work showed that greater body size in humans predicted increased knockout power during contests (Study 1a-1b: total N = 5,866; Study 2: N = 44 openweight fights). In agonistic exchanges reflective of ancestral size asymmetries, heavier combatants were 300% more likely to win against their lighter counterparts solely because they were 300% more likely to knock them out (Study 2). Greater body size afforded no other fighting performance advantages other than increased knockout power (Studies 1-2). Human dominance judgments (total N = 500 MTurkers) accurately tracked the frequency with which men (N = 516) had knocked out similar sized adversaries (Study 3). Humans were able to directly perceive a man’s knockout power solely because they were attending to cues of a man’s body size. Human dominance judgments—which are important across numerous psychological domains, including attractiveness, leadership, and legal decision-making—accurately predict the likelihood with which a potential mate, ally, or rival can incapacitate their adversaries.
Daily Fluctuations in Children’s Working Memory Accuracy and Precision: Variability at Multiple Time scales and Links to Daily Sleep Behavior and Fluid Intelligence
Authors: Galeano-Keiner Elena Marissa , Neubauer Andreas B. , Irmer (geb. Schmidt) Andrea , Schmiedek Florian
Published: June 2022

Children often experience better and worse days when performing cognitive tasks. Whether such fluctuations are systematic and how they are linked to fluctuations at faster time scales within days is less clear. To fill these gaps, we probed N=108 fifth graders on working memory (WM) tasks twice daily in morning and afternoon sessions, and also assessed nightly sleep behavior, over a period of four weeks using ambulatory assessment. Children systematically fluctuated in their recall of visuospatial and numerical information in WM across multiple time scales. These fluctuations showed consistencies but also discrepancies among each other. Especially, fast variability of memory precision across moments was related to load and fluid intelligence. Daily WM accuracy was positively coupled to sleep quality, but only in a subset of children with larger daily WM fluctuations. We propose that short-term WM fluctuations and their couplings to other time-varying constructs could help to explain long-term cognitive development.
Memory in the Digital Age
Authors: Storm Benjamin C. , Soares Julia S.
Published: June 2022

Digital technologies have changed the everyday use of human memory. When information is saved or made readily available online, there is less need to encode or maintain access to that information within the biological structures of memory. People increasingly depend on the Internet and various digital devices to learn and remember, but the implications and consequences of this dependence remain largely unknown. The present chapter provides an overview of research to date on memory in the digital age. It focuses in particular on issues related to transactive memory, cognitive offloading, photo taking, social media use, and learning in the classroom.
Relations between Childhood Psychological Maltreatment and Mental Health Dimensions within a Higher-order Model
Authors: Xiao Zhuoni , Obsuth Ingrid , Meinck Franziska , Murray Aja Louise
Published: June 2022

Experiences of childhood psychological maltreatment have been found to be associated with various mental health outcomes, and this association persists into adulthood. This study investigated whether some types of psychological maltreatment are more harmful than others; whether the harms associated with different types of psychological maltreatment are generalized or specific to particular domains of psychopathology; and whether the associations vary by gender. Participants (N = 544, 63.9% mother as primary caregiver) were Chinese adults from various regions in China. Participants completed measures of childhood psychological maltreatment experiences perpetrated by their primary caregiver and the mental health outcomes of depression, anxiety, anger, physical aggression, and hostility. The data were analyzed in a hierarchical model in which depression and anxiety were defined as indicators of an internalizing factor, while anger, physical aggression, and hostility were defined as indicators of an externalizing factor. Internalizing and externalizing then defined a higher-order general psychopathology factor. The results suggested equivalent harms of psychological abuse and psychological neglect. Further, the associations between psychological maltreatment and mental health were not unique to specific symptoms domains but showed broadband associations with general psychopathology. These findings suggest that trans-diagnostic interventions may be the most effective approach for addressing the mental health impacts of psychological maltreatment.
The Origins of Dance: Characterizing the Development of Infants’ Earliest Dance Behavior
Authors: Kim Minju , Schachner Adena
Published: June 2022

Dance is a universal human behavior, and a crucial component of human musicality. When and how does the motivation and tendency to move to music develop? How does this behavior change as a process of maturation and learning? We characterize infants’ earliest dance behavior, leveraging parents’ extensive at-home observations of their children. Parents of infants aged 0-24 months (N = 278, 82.7% White, 84.5% in the U.S, 46.0% of household incomes ≥$100,000) were surveyed regarding their child’s current and earliest dance behavior (movement by the child, during music, that the parent considered dance), motor development, and their own infant-directed dance. We found that dance begins early: 90% of infants produced recognizable dance by 12.8 months, and the age of onset was not solely a function of motor development. Infants that produced dance did so often, on average almost every day. We also found that dance shows qualitative developmental change over the first two years, rather than remaining stable. With motor development, age, and more time dancing, infants used a greater variety of movements in dance, and began to incorporate learned, imitated gestures (80% of infants by 17.9 months). 99.8% of parents reported dancing for or with their infants, raising questions about the role of infant-directed dance. These findings provide evidence that the motivation and tendency to move to music appears extremely early, and that both learning and maturation lead to qualitative change in dance behavior during the first two years, informing broad questions about the origins of human musicality.
Best Practices for Ethical Conduct of Misinformation Research: A Scoping Review and Critical Commentary
Authors: Greene Ciara , Murphy Gillian , de Saint Laurent Constance , Prike Toby , Hegarty Karen , Ecker Ullrich K. H.
Published: June 2022

Misinformation can have noxious impacts on cognition, fostering formation of false beliefs, retroactively distorting memory for events, and influencing reasoning and decision making even after it has been credibly corrected. Researchers investigating the impacts of real-world misinformation are therefore faced with an ethical issue: they must consider the immediate and longer-term consequences of exposing participants to false claims. In this paper, we first present an overview of the ethical risks associated with real-world misinformation. We then report results from a scoping review of ethical practices in misinformation research. We investigated (1) the extent to which researchers report the details of their ethical practices, including issues of informed consent and debriefing, and (2) the specific steps that researchers report taking to protect participants from the consequences of misinformation exposure. We found that fewer than 30% of misinformation papers report any debriefing at all, and almost no authors assessed the effectiveness of their debriefing procedure. Building on the findings from this review, we evaluate the balance of risk versus reward currently operating in this field, and propose a set of guidelines for best practice. Our ultimate goal is to allow researchers the freedom to investigate questions of considerable scientific and societal impact, while meeting their ethical obligations to participants.
A generating model for Finnish nominal inflection using distributional semantics
Authors: Nikolaev Alexandre , Chuang Yu-Ying , Baayen R. H.
Published: June 2022

Finnish nouns are characterized by rich inflectional variation, with obligatory marking of case and number, with optional possessive suffixes and with the possibility of further cliticization. We present a model for the conceptualization of Finnish inflected nouns, using pre-compiled fasttext embeddings (300- dimensional semantic vectors that approximate words’ meanings). Instead of deriving the semantic vector of an inflected word from another word in its paradigm, we propose that an inflected word is conceptualized by means of summation of latent vectors representing the meanings of its lexeme and its inflectional features. We tested this model on the 2,000 most frequent Finnish nouns and their inflected word forms from a corpus of Finnish (84 million tokens). Visualization of the semantic space of Finnish using t-SNE clarified that a ‘main effects’ additive model does not do justice to the semantics of inflection. In Finnish, how number is realized turns out to vary substantially with case. Further interactions emerged with the possessive suffixes and the clitics. By taking these interactions into account, the accuracy of our model, evaluated with the fasttext embeddings as gold standard, improved from 76% to 89%. Analyses of the errors made by the model clarified that 15% of errors are due to overabundance (and hence not true errors), and that 25% of the errors involved exchanges of semantically highly similar stems (lexemes). Our results indicate, first, that the semantics of Finnish noun inflection are more intricate than assumed thus far, and second, that these intricacies can be captured with surprisingly high accuracy by a simple generating model based on imputed semantic vectors for lexemes, inflectional features, and interactions of inflectional features.
What does ‘three’ look like? Analogical reasoning in early number word acquisition
Authors: Wege Theresa Elise , Merkley Rebecca , Cheung Pierina , Jasim Sara , Ansari Daniel
Published: June 2022

The meaning of numbers is a difficult concept for young children to grasp. They have to learn that numbers don’t refer to any property that an individual object can have, such as color, but refer to an abstract relation between sets of objects, set size. Here, we tested whether children could learn number words from examples of sets that support inference via structural alignment. We trained two- and three-knowers (N = 65) on the next number (i.e. three or four) and assessed their learning with a two-alternative-forced-choice task and Give-a-Number task. Compared to children who received a control training, children who saw examples that support inference via structural alignment demonstrated slightly better outcomes. We discuss this result in light of analogical reasoning as a mechanism of concept learning in general and number learning in particular.

Assessing the COVID-19 and Its Shocks on Macro-economic Variables in Nepal
Authors: Bista Raghu Bir
Published: June 2022

This study assesses the COVID-19 and its shocks on macro-economic variables in Nepalese economy based on the secondary data sets of macroeconomics variable pre- and post-COVID-19 by applying descriptive statistical methods. The growth of COVID-19 is unpredictably spreading all over the world. Its hot spot has been in the South Asia, particularly in Delhi and Nepal. Its correlation between COVID 19 cases and per capita GDP is positive. In South Asia, its growth rate is higher than its recovery indicating inefficiency of health system. Similarly, its shocks are so strong to influence trend, pattern and structure of macro-economic variables. Economic growth declined at 0.1percent in 2020 with falling outputs of agriculture, industry and service sectors. Unemployment rate reaches at 27.8 percent from 11.4 percent. The poor population increased by 7.47 percent. Besides, residential income and household income has fallen along with sharp decline in labor and remittance income. Lastly, its negative implication is found in foreign exchange reserve and balance of payment, trade and revenue. Thus, the COVID-19 and its shocks are undesired fluctuations and impose implications in Nepalese economy. Therefore, Nepal should improve health care system and vaccine availability for reducing the effects of pandemic and the lockdown for stability and recovery of the economy and also for welfare of the poor.
THE CONCEPT OF CENTER IN AIKIDO STUDY
Authors: Stepanyuk S. , Serputko O. , Lukyanchenko M. , Turchyk I.
Published: June 2022

The article analyzes the concept of “center” in the context of aikido and other oriental martial arts. It is determined that the category of center in aikido completely coincides with the definition of the general center of gravity in general physiology. That once again proves the practical effectiveness of techniques used in aikido, as well as the important positive impact of aikido practice on harmonizing the interaction of right and left-brain hemispheres, balance of psycho-emotional state and improvement of general health and well-being. The state of physical culture and sports activities of Aikido athletes is revealed, which is seen as a syncretism of external (physical, social) and internal (emotional, mental, volitional, independent) multifaceted work, which, although not a competitive and stimulating system, but aimed at long term of study and comprehension, without age requirements. It was found that a deeper understanding by aikido practitioners of the basic and key concepts of the presented martial art contributes to a better understanding of the biophysical basis of techniques, ukemi and tai sabaki movements, which increases the level of preparation for the certification. In addition, it was found that understanding and using the work of the center has a significant positive impact in the study of other martial arts, including judo, iaido, jodo, hand-to-hand combat, and even in teaching acrobatics elements. The authors of this article, based on their own experience of Aikido practice and its teaching, as well as other disciplines in the field of physical culture and sports, provide a generalized and diverse vision of the concept of “center” to better master key concepts, awareness effective and wide application of theoretical knowledge gained in training. We consider the results of the presented study to be especially significant for people of the second adulthood and older age who practice aikido [7]. It is possible because the use of the center can significantly reduce the load and joints of both upper and lower body, which not only allows practicing aikido even in old age, but also makes practice possible even in the presence of injuries or disabilities [8]. The results of the presented research are relevant both for martial arts schools and for any kind of sports and physical culture activities that involve interaction with a partner.
Determining the level of physical fitness of law enforcement officers in European countries: a comparative analysis

Published: June 2022

The article argues that the proper level of physical fitness of law enforcement officers is a necessary condition for professional readiness for effective performance of official duties related to public safety and order, detention of offenders, countering attacks by armed and aggressive individuals. The analysis of normative documents and scientific works, which highlight the features of determining the level of physical fitness of law enforcement officers of foreign countries, the requirements for the level of physical fitness of candidates for service in the police and practitioners. It has been established that foreign police units accept citizens with secondary education, proper physical and mental health, and a sufficient level of physical fitness. Training is preceded by competitive selection, which includes, among other things, a number of physical exercises. There is a lack of consensus on the criteria for assessing the level of physical fitness. It has been found that most of the most significant physical qualities are tested, but the evaluation criteria differ. It was found that in addition to performing well-known control exercises, including running and gymnastic exercises, preference is given to practical exercises. During the selection of candidates for service in the police of Western Europe, the level of development of endurance, coordination skills, speed, agility and speed and strength abilities is tested; in the countries of Eastern Europe - the level of development of speed, agility, strength, endurance. It is established that the organization of physical training of police officers of foreign countries has a special focus, provides for the formation of special applied skills, implementation of combat techniques, modeling situations of forcible detention of offenders. Due attention is paid to sports and mass work. Prospects for further research are to study the issue of assessing the level of physical fitness of law enforcement officers, taking into account gender.

The article makes a historical and biographical generalization and cases of perpetuation of the figure of I. Piddubny. Based on a study of the periodical press, the dates of the athlete's stay in Mykolayiv in 1927 and 1933, as well as the house and hotel room where he lived during the circus performances were established. In addition to performances in the circus arena with power numbers and wrestling, I. Piddubny in his spare time met with young athletes, where he not only trained, but also gave a kind of lecture on healthy living.

Despite the exact dates of I. Piddubny's stay in Mykolayiv, appeals to the city authorities to try to name the street after him and to install a plaque on the wall of the house where he lived during the tour were unsuccessful. Such a board would allow young citizens to be interested in the figure of I. Piddubny, and on his example to get involved in sports and would promote a healthy lifestyle. For the city, such a memorial plaque would allow it to become more attractive to tourists and diversify its historical locations.

Published: June 2022

Open spaces in neighborhoods are children’s main living spaces, closely related to their daily activities. There is an increasing awareness that the physical form of the neighborhood plays a critical role in children’s activity, by offering opportunities for exploration and interaction. The aim of this paper is to explore the impact of the spatial configuration of buildings on children’s activity on the example of a residential area in the city of Oum El Bouaghi (Algeria) as the research object. The hypothesis of this work indicates that spatial configuration and the location of the buildings, in particular, the way in which the site is embedded are important variables in children’s outdoor activity. Based on this hypothesis, both quantitative and qualitative methods are used together through Space Syntax and Snapshot Observations. Findings indicate that the extent and character of children’s outdoor activities are greatly influenced by the physical characteristics of the neighborhood environment in residential areas through the degree of space enclosure interpreted by visibility and accessibility. By uncovering the impact of spatial configuration, this research offers an approach to designers for rethinking and considering new insights into managing and designing current and future spaces in light of children’s preferences and behavior patterns.
