The Effect of Unemployment and Urbanization on Migration in Turkey: An Evaluation in terms of the Harris-Todaro Model
Authors: SANCAR Canan , AKBAŞ Yusuf Ekrem
Published: January 2022

This study tested whether there was a relationship between migration, unemployment, and urbanization based on the Harris-Todaro model in 12 regions of Turkey, which were formed according to NUTS-1 classification, in the period between 2008 and 2019. For this purpose, panel data methods that consider cross-section dependency were used in the study. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the Harris-Todaro model was valid in TR1, TR2, TR3, TR4, TR5, and TR6 regions. In TR7, TR8, TR9, TRA, TRB, and TRC regions, it was found that the Harris-Todaro model was not valid.
Monitoring of highway impact on fauna as a component of management of a protected area in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
Authors: Faria Helder Henrique de , Pires Andréa Soares , Abra Fernanda D.
Published: January 2022

Although being conceived with economical and social significance, building roads is a high impact mechanism of landscape fragmentation, in which the involved environmental factors are not fully considered. The SP-613 highway segments the forest and divides in half the 34000 ha of Morro do Diabo State Park (MDSP), representing the major source of disturbance to the protected area’s wildlife. A random monitoring was performed between 1989-1999 and counted 158 animals and 23 wild species killed in collisions with vehicles. Among these, 16% were endangered species. Data compiled between 2002 and 2010, following the same previous methodology, counted 46 dead animals and 15 species, indicating the geographic localizations of the collisions. A new stage of the monitoring was performed, with systematic data collection throughout two different periods: the first one with 197 days of monitoring and 56 days of sampling; the second one with 292 days of monitoring and 83 days of sampling. The species, sex, when possible, date, place and carcass conditions were registered, resulting in 29 individuals and 16 wild species. The three rounds of monitoring totaled 233 registered animals among 15 orders, 28 families and 33 impacted species. In this work, we revisit the data from the first two monitorings and present the analysis of the last survey, the most impacted species and the mortality rates after the adoption of measures aiming to diminish the fauna mortality along the highway.

On the significance of the study of local reflexes in the study of the functions of the cerebral cortex
Authors: Bekhterev Vladimir M.
Published: January 2022

In general, attention is deserved by the fact that in relation to movements we have in the cortex not one, but a number of centers. So, in relation to lateral eye movements, we have at least three centers that, when stimulated, produce the same effect in the form of lateral eye movement: frontal, occipital, and temporal. In relation to these centers, there are currently experimental and clinical data that leave no doubt that their function seems to be unequal.
"The structure of Uater-Pacini bodies and their physiological significance"
Authors: Mikhailov Sergey E.
Published: January 2022

Modern physiological methods are often completely unsuitable for the study of the functions of such tissue formations, which, from the side of morphological sciences, have already been studied in sufficient detail and accurately. Modern physiology is the physiology of entire organs and their systems, while regarding the cellular physiology of these organs, there are currently only fragmentary, separate and extremely fragmented facts. Even entire systems of such important organs as the terminal nervous apparatus, which have already been studied very carefully and morphologically. completely do not have departments corresponding to themselves in physiology, because up to the present time physiologists do not yet know the method that would allow them to start developing this department.

Published: January 2022

The patient, who was under the supervision of the author, initially developed a symptom complex characteristic of Basedows disease, then symptoms appeared that indicated damage to the adrenal glands, Adissons disease. The latter was recognizable especially by the bronze coloration of the skin, which also extended to the visible mucous membranes. The author believes that the disease of the thyroid gland was also responsible for the damage to the adrenal glands: namely, under the influence of increased and pathological activity of the thyroid gland, an increase in the vitality of ecto-endodermal tissues and inhibition of the functions of mesodermal tissues occurred; the adrenal glands, as a derivative of the mesoderm, also began to decline in their function; the probable tuberculosis of these glands met in its development, thus, the ground had already been prepared.
Determinants of Social Security Financing in Algeria: A Marketing Approach using a Logit Model
Authors: Guellil Nassima , Benhabib Abderrezzak
Published: January 2022

Social security is an important tool aimed at ensuring the social protection of individuals against social risks. However, almost all countries face problems linked to social security financing because their resources are insufficient to cover their expenses. This funding problem is related to the efficiency in the collection of contributions, as the contribution of the working population to the financing of social security can ensure its sustainability. Although social security is mandatory, the absence of funding participation by many people in Algeria contributes to a deepening of the funding crisis. This study aims, first, to examine the extent to which the employed population can finance Algerian social security and, second, to uncover the factors that cause the private sector to refrain from participating in the financing of social security in Tlemcen. Our methodology draws on a marketing approach using the logit model, which reveals that three types of factors have the greatest influence on the participation of individuals in the financing of social security: socio-economic factors, individual characteristics, and the regulation system adopted by the Algerian Social Security Institution.

Published: January 2022

With 68 countries and international organizations signed up to and participating in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the Chinese business community is playing an increasingly important role in the global economy. The number of Chinese-owned businesses within the top 50 of the Fortune Global 500 list has tripled from four in 2012 to 12 in 2017. With a sample of 24 out of the top 25 market capitalization Malaysian construction sector listed companies from 2012 to 2017, the random effects panel data regression model (REM) is applied. Results reveal that only the percentage of Chinese equity ownership (COWN) and the percentage of Chinese directors on corporate boards (CDIR) have significant relationships with companies’ profitability measure of return on assets (ROA). Chinese CEOs (CCEO) can only improve a company's profitability after two years at the top of the management team. One of the main implications of this research is that COWN and CDIR should not be restricted by the government and indigenous protectionist groups because Chinese equity owners and directors can capitalize on their multi-lingual capabilities to build closer interpersonal ties and networking ("guanxi") with business partners from China and other BRI countries.

Published: January 2022

This paper investigated the impact of exchange rate volatility on exports in Nigeria utilizing data from 2005Q1 to 2020Q4. The ARCH model and its extensions of GARCH, TARCH and EGARCH models and nominal effective exchange rate were employed to measure exchange rate volatility. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag Bounds test methodology was used to examine the short-run and long-run effects of exchange rate volatility on exports. The findings validated the presence of exchange rate volatility. In addition, the results revealed that exchange rate volatility had a negative and insignificant impact on exports. The study, thus, recommends that the government of Nigeria through the Central Bank of Nigeria should foster stable regimes of exchange rate through the implementation of appropriate policies of the exchange rate. Also, an enabling environment for the production of exportable goods should be provided by the government.
CÂMÎ’NİN YÛSUF VE ZÜLEYHÂ MESNEVİSİNDE METİN VE MİNYATÜR İLİŞKİSİ
Authors: ATEŞ Elife
Published: January 2022

Gerek Doğu ve gerekse de Batı Edebiyatı’nda birçok eserin ilham kaynağı olan Hz. Yûsuf’un hikâyesi ilk olarak Tevrat’ta yer almaktadır ve Batı sanatçıları eserlerinin çıkış noktası olarak bu hikâyeyi temel alırlar. Doğu edebiyatçıları ise Kur’an’da “ahsenü’l-kasas” adıyla anılan hikâyeyi temel almaktadırlar. Gerek Doğu’da gerek Batı’da epey rağbet gören bu hikâye Divân edebiyatının da ana malzemelerindendir. Öyle ki Divân edebiyatında güzellik deyince akla ilk Yûsuf Peygamber gelir. Hz. Yûsuf’un hikâyesi sadece yazılmakla kalmamış aynı zamanda çokça minyatürleri çizilmiştir. Molla Câmî’nin Yûsuf ve Züleyhâ’sı bu konu ile ilgili olarak Fars edebiyatında yazılmış en önemli eserlerdendir ve minyatürlü nüshaları da mevcuttur. Molla Câmî bu eseriyle divan şairlerine de ilham vermiştir. Bu çalışmada Molla Câmî’nin Yûsuf ve Züleyhâ’sı metin-minyatür ilişkisi üzerinden incelenmiş ve bu resim-metin ilişkisi Klâsik Edebiyat geleneğimiz içerisinde ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada minyatürler için Topkapı Sarayı Müzesi Kütüphanesi R. 910 numarada kayıtlı nüsha esas alınmıştır. Günay Kut tarafından yayına hazırlanan ve Ali Nihat Tarlan tarafından Türkçeye çevrilen Süleymaniye Ayasofya 3898 numarada kayıtlı nüsha ise metin olarak temel alınmıştır. Basılmış çeşitli eserlerden derlenen diğer minyatürler de analizin detaylandırılması amacıyla kullanılmıştır. Minyatürlü nüsha ve metin karşılaştırmalı olarak incelendiğinde minyatürleri çizen ressamın metinle paralel bir biçimde hareket ettiği ve sahneleri çok gerçekçi çizdiği gözlemlenmiştir. Nüshada yer alan beş minyatür sadece kuyu sahnesi ve portakal sahnesi Yûsuf u Züleyhâ minyatürleri geleneğine uyum göstermektedir. Fakat bu resimlerde de (özellikle kuyu sahnesinde) ressamın alışılmışın dışında bir üslup benimsemeye çalıştığı görülmektedir. Nüshada yer alan diğer üç minyatür ise diğer ressamlar tarafından hiç dikkat çekilmemiş ayrıntıları göstermeleri açısından önemlidir.
Prediction of Outstanding Claims Liability in Non-Life Insurance: An Application of Adaptive Grey Model
Authors: Kartikasari Mujiati Dwi , Maghfuroh Hani’atul
Published: January 2022

In order to assess the solvency of non-life insurance companies, the prediction of outstanding claims liability is very important. Prediction of outstanding claims liability is usually done by using a run-off triangle data scheme. However, if data are not available to form the scheme, the prediction of outstanding claims liability cannot be made. Another alternative for predicting of outstanding claims liability is to use time series analysis. This research uses an adaptive grey model that has the advantage of being free of assumptions of data patterns and a minimum amount of data used to predict is small (at least 4 data). To determine the accuracy of the adaptive grey model, we compare the prediction of outstanding claims liability using a grey model classic. Based on the analysis results, the adaptive grey model is better than the classic gray model in predicting outstanding claims liability.

Milk products are essential food in the human diet because it contains many essential trace minerals such as calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, sodium, potassium and phosphorous. The utilization of, milk is increasing at a large scale throughout the world. It is essential to maintain the good quality of milk during production and manufacturing because the presence of toxic metals in the milk becomes the cause of health disturbance in human life. Therefore, the present investigation was carried out to determine concentrations of lead, nickel, iron, copper, and chromium in powdered milk and fresh milk products by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. Different milk samples of products (two fresh milks and two powdered milks) were purchased from the local market. For the decomposition of the organic substances in milk samples, wet digestion was used with a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid in volume proportions 1:3 (v/v). The analytical curve for all metals covered the linear range from 0.5 to 4.0 ppm with correlation coefficients higher than 0.9994. The limit of detection (LOD) for Pb, Ni, Fe, Cu, and Cr were found to be 0.25, 0.023, 0.012, 0.0067, and 0.073 ppm, respectively. While the limit of quantification (LOQ) in the range of 0.02 to 0.76 ppm. Of all the metals determined, Pb, Ni, and Fe were the most abundant with concentrations between 1.233 and 1.677 ppm while Cr was not detected in all the samples. The results showed that fresh milk samples have a higher concentration of heavy metals compared to powdered milk samples.

SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) wywołujący COVID-19 (corona virus disease 2019) rozprzestrzenił się po świecie w błyskawicznym tempie, prowadząc do ogłoszenia przez Światową Organizację Zdrowia (World Health Organization, WHO) stanu pandemii. COVID-19 najczęściej kojarzony jest z objawami ze strony układu oddechowego. Dotychczasowe doniesienia w piśmiennictwie z zakresu nauk medycznych informują również o występowaniu objawów pochodzących z innych układów m.in. sercowo-naczyniowego, pokarmowego oraz nerwowego. Objawy neurologiczne powszechnie kojarzone z COVID-19 to ból głowy oraz utrata węchu i smaku. Nie są to jednak jedyne symptomy ze strony układu nerwowego, które mogą wystąpić w przebiegu COVID-19. Choć najbardziej narażone na zachorowanie są osoby starsze, obciążone chorobami przewlekłymi, to wirus dotyka również dzieci. Większość z nich przechodzi zakażenie łagodnie lub bezobjawowo. Zdarzają się jednak przypadki, gdy w przebiegu choroby występują objawy neurologiczne, nierzadko prowadzące do stanu zagrożenia życia. Celem pracy jest podsumowanie informacji na temat dotychczas opublikowanych objawów neurologicznych COVID-19 w populacji pediatrycznej, ocena możliwych patomechanizmów ich powstawania oraz porównanie z objawami występującymi u dorosłych.

Wiotkość mięśniowa to obniżony opór podczas wykonywania ruchów biernych w stawach. Prawidłowe napięcie mięśniowe jest wynikiem współdziałania struktur ośrodkowego i obwodowego układu nerwowego. Zatem zespół dziecka wiotkiego może stanowić wynik uszkodzenia górnego neuronu ruchowego – wiotkość centralna lub dolnego neuronu ruchowego - wiotkość obwodowa. Wiotkość centralna charakteryzuje się obecnością prawidłowych lub wygórowanych odruchów, prawidłową lub nieznacznie zmniejszoną siłą mięśniową, towarzyszyć jej mogą ograniczone zainteresowanie bodźcami zewnętrznymi, drgawki. Dla wiotkości obwodowej z kolei typowe są: znaczne osłabienie siły mięśniowej, arefleksja, przy prawidłowym kontakcie wzrokowym. Najczęstszą przyczynę wiotkości centralnej stanowią uszkodzenia i wady ośrodkowego układu nerwowego oraz zespoły uwarunkowane genetycznie. Pierwszy etap diagnostyki hipotonii centralnej stanowią zatem badania obrazowe głowy i/lub rdzenia kręgowego oraz badania genetyczne szczególnie, gdy współwystępują cechy dysmorficzne lub obciążenie rodzinne. Z kolei do najczęstszych przyczyn hipotonii obwodowej zalicza się: rdzeniowy zanik mięśni (SMA) i choroby mięśni. Poszukiwanie przyczyn hipotonii obwodowej należy rozpocząć od wykonania badań genetycznych w kierunku SMA. Następny etap stanowi oznaczenie poziomu kinazy kreatyninowej (CK) oraz badania elektrofizjologiczne. Ostatnim etapem jest poszerzenie diagnostyki o badania inwazyjne - biopsję mięśnia czy biopsję nerwu, z których obecnie coraz częściej rezygnuje się na rzecz badań genetycznych. Jeśli u pacjenta z wiotkością współwystępuje spektrum objawów klinicznych takich jak: wymioty, zaburzenia oddychania, zaburzenia świadomości, zwyrodnienie barwnikowe siatkówki, hepatosplenomegalia, należy uwzględnić choroby metaboliczne. Natomiast jeśli stwierdza się nadmierną ruchomość w stawach przy prawidłowej sile mięśniowej konieczne jest przeprowadzenie diagnostyki w kierunku chorób tkanki łącznej. Zidentyfikowanie przyczyny hipotonii ma szczególne znacznie kliniczne, gdyż w niektórych chorobach (np. SMA, choroba Pompego) istnieją możliwości skutecznego leczenia hamującego ich postęp.

Cortisol is a hormone crucial for homeostasis of the human organism. Many researchers proved the role of cortisol and its normal release rhythm in healthy individuals. It led to further investigations of the abnormalities in cortisol levels in those affected by various disorders , especially with neuropsychiatric symptoms. Autism spectrum disorder is one of these conditions which have been intensively researched due to its core and secondary symptoms. We conducted a systematic review of articles in PubMed, including papers that met the search criteria “autism” and “cortisol”. After initial selection of relevant papers, we analyzed data from 56 articles. We divided data into subcategories of studies concerning cortisol diurnal profile, basal cortisol levels, Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) and cortisol levels in reaction to certain stimuli. Data was unequivocal, however, abnormal diurnal profile, basal level, CAR or stressor response were found in many research groups. It led to suspicion that the abnormalities of cortisol release are a widely-spread phenomenon among individuals with autism spectrum disorder. Very limited data from therapeutic interventions indicated more clinical than biological response. This systematic review should be a drive to action for further randomized clinical trial on larger, homogenous group of patients to obtain more thorough insight into the role of cortisol in autism spectrum disorder

Cytokine activation and inflammatory process is a result of complex interaction in the pathogenesis of various central nervous system disorders (CNS). Both proinflammatory and anti- -inflammatory cytokines are produced during immune response. Cytokines measurement in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may be used as an additional tool in patients assessment. In the state of CNS infection, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and TNF-α levels are typically elevated. Cytokine level alterations after antibiotic therapy are not fully elucidated. Some cytokines, like IL-6, are not only an inflammatory parameter, being elevated in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage. The role of TNF-α is known in neurodegenerative disorders, where levels of proinflammatory factors, including TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6, are increased both in serum and in CSF. Assessment of cytokine levels in CSF may be an additional evaluation tool in the management of CNS disorders in children, especially those of inflammatory background. Therapeutic agents for specific cytokines could be a future tool in the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Wstęp: W literaturze anglojęzycznej opisane zostało wiele narzędzi pozwalających na ocenę stanu neuromotorycznego noworodków i niemowląt. Celem niniejszej pracy jest przedstawienie w polskiej literaturze medycznej skali Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) oraz przeprowadzenie systematycznego przeglądu piśmiennictwa dotyczącego stosowania jej u niemowląt w predykcji mózgowego porażenia dziecięcego (MPD). Metoda: Przeszukano medyczną bazę danych MEDLINE PubMed używając następujących zwrotów kluczowych: cerebral palsy w połączeniu z Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination, znajdujących się w tytule i/lub streszczeniu publikacji. Dodatkowym kryterium włączenia był język angielski publikacji. Wyniki: Zidentyfikowano łącznie 22 publikacje. Pierwsza analiza pozwoliła wykluczyć 7 badań niespełniających kryteriów włączenia do szczegółowej analizy. Bazując na wynikach analizowanych badań można stwierdzić, że wynik HINE poniżej 66 punktów uzyskany w 3, 6, 9 i/lub 12 miesiącu życia wskazuje na ryzyko wystąpienia MPD w późniejszym etapie życia dziecka. Wnioski: Skala HINE jest użytecznym narzędziem wykorzystywanym już w pierwszych miesiącach życia dziecka do oceny ryzyka wystąpienia zaburzeń neurorozwojowych, w tym MPD. Umożliwia wczesne wykrycie zespołu zaburzeń, co jest szczególnie istotne w zaplanowaniu dalszego odpowiedniego leczenia. Zaleca się połączenie badania neurologicznego HINE z badaniem metodą Prechtla oraz badaniami neuroobrazowymi w celu zwiększenia mocy predykcyjnej. Jednakże, ze względu na wysoką czułość obu narzędzi, w codziennej praktyce klinicyści mogą zdecydować się na użycie tylko jednego z nich (HINE lub ocena wg Prechtla). Mimo ogólnodostępnej i nieskomplikowanej formy badania, HINE nie znajduje jednak szerokiego zastosowania u klinicystów, co, bez wątpienia, powinno ulec zmianie.

Rozwój strukturalny ośrodkowego układu nerwowego przebiega w sposób najbardziej intensywny w pierwszych latach życia. Działanie niekorzystnych zmiennych tzw. czynników ryzyka zaburzeń rozwojowych, zwłaszcza w okresie ciąży, może doprowadzić do różnorodnych zaburzeń naturalnego procesu kształtowania się mapy neuronalnej. Istnieje wiele narzędzi, pozwalających na ocenę trajektorii rozwojowej niemowlęcia. Jednym z najbardziej skutecznych jest Metoda Prechtla, znana jako General Movement Assessment, która opiera się na analizie jakościowej motoryki spontanicznej dziecka- tzw. ruchów globalnych. Ruchy globalne (GMs) to złożona sekwencja motoryczna, obecna w obrębie kończyn górnych, dolnych, szyi i tułowia. Manifestuje się ze zmienną intensywnością, siłą oraz prędkością. Ma wyraźny początek, i stopniowo narasta, by w końcu zniknąć w pojedynczym cyklu. Charakter GMs, ze względu na obecność rotacji i różnokierunkowość, można określić, jako płynny, harmonijny, elegancki. GMs pojawiają się w motoryce dziecka między 9 a 12 tygodniem życia wieku post-menstrualnego (PMA) i utrzymują się w podobnej formie do 46- 49 tygodnia PMA. Niniejszy artykuł przybliża obraz General Movement Assessment w kontekście dziecka ryzyka zaburzeń rozwojowych. Podkreśla wiarygodność tego podejścia diagnostycznego i ukazuje jego znaczenia dla kontroli procesu usprawniania fizjoterapeutycznego.
Effects of family disintegration on children later depression
Authors:   Department of Special Education, University of Jeddah, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Maajeeny Hassan
Published: January 2022

Studies examining the effects of marital dissolution on children's welfare have repeatedly found that children of separated parents perform worse on several well-being parameters than those from intact households. Depression is highly represented in the health care system among children and older offspring of divorced parents. This study utilizes the double ABCX model to examine the relationship between divorce and depression. The goal of the study was to see if divorce is a sound predictor of depression. Divorce was shown to only explain a modest portion of the variation in depression (r^2= .04). This level of variation suggests that other than divorce, various additional variables have a role in depression. The study closes with the indication that if additional moderating variables such as the child's maturity and availability of household resources before and after dissolution were encompassed in the analysis, divorce would become a stronger risk factor for depression. Family disharmony may be linked to a higher incidence of severe depressive illness in children of divorced parents.
(Mis)Information on Digital Platforms: Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Content From Twitter and Sina Weibo in the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Kreps Sarah , George Julie , Watson Noah , Cai Gloria , Ding Keyi
Published: January 2022

Background

Misinformation about COVID-19 on social media has presented challenges to public health authorities during the pandemic. This paper leverages qualitative and quantitative content analysis on cross-platform, cross-national discourse and misinformation in the context of COVID-19. Specifically, we investigated COVID-19-related content on Twitter and Sina Weibo—the largest microblogging sites in the United States and China, respectively.

Objective

Using data from 2 prominent microblogging platform, Twitter, based in the United States, and Sina Weibo, based in China, we compared the content and relative prevalence of misinformation to better understand public discourse of public health issues across social media and cultural contexts.

Methods

A total of 3,579,575 posts were scraped from both Sina Weibo and Twitter, focusing on content from January 30, 2020, within 24 hours of when WHO declared COVID-19 a “public health emergency of international concern,” and a week later, on February 6, 2020. We examined how the use and engagement measured by keyword frequencies and hashtags differ across the 2 platforms. A 1% random sample of tweets that contained both the English keywords “coronavirus” and “covid-19” and the equivalent Chinese characters was extracted and analyzed based on changes in the frequencies of keywords and hashtags and the Viterbi algorithm. We manually coded a random selection of 5%-7% of the content to identify misinformation on each platform and compared posts using the WHO fact-check page to adjudicate accuracy of content.

Results

Both platforms posted about the outbreak and transmission, but posts on Sina Weibo were less likely to reference topics such as WHO, Hong Kong, and death and more likely to cite themes of resisting, fighting, and cheering against coronavirus. Misinformation constituted 1.1% of Twitter content and 0.3% of Sina Weibo content—almost 4 times as much on Twitter compared to Sina Weibo.

Conclusions

Quantitative and qualitative analysis of content on both platforms points to lower degrees of misinformation, more content designed to bolster morale, and less reference to topics such as WHO, death, and Hong Kong on Sina Weibo than on Twitter.

Background: The descriptive study focuses on pupils’ attitudes towards physical education lessons. There are also two other issues discussed in the physical education community. The first is P.E. assessment of pupils. The second issue is relieving from P.E. lessons. The motivation of pupils at the beginning of school and the subsequent evaluation of their activity is important for development of positive attitudes among all pupils. Aim: The aim of the research is to find out how pupils perceive P.E. lessons because physical activities are important for health and a healthy lifestyle. Methods: The data were statistically analyzed in the R program. The Chí-square test for non-parametric data was used to assess statistical significance. We used the coefficient of determination to evaluate material significance. Results: Almost 88% of respondents engage in sports activities at different levels. Material significance is found in the following cases: Physical Education is more popular with boys and is also much more important for boys. Statistical significance wasn’t found for two items. Conclusion: We see a link between the low level of motor abilities and the reasons for the absence of pupils in Physical Education classes, as well as their positive feelings when P.E. classes get cancelled.

Authors: South Caroline L. , DeJarnette Nancy
Published: January 2022

An urban public school system in the northeastern United States implemented the RULER Program, an evidence-based social emotional learning program, into schools in 2014. This case study investigates the impact of the RULER Program on school climate at one pre-K-8 school within that larger urban system. The study sought to determine if there are statistically significant changes in student suspensions, attendance, and academic achievement at that school since the initial implementation of the RULER Program by performing 2-proportion z tests. This study also sought to determine faculty and staff perceptions of school climate at the subject school by performing a descriptive analysis of survey data and coding interview and observation data for themes. The quantitative and qualitative data merge to provide a comprehensive explanation of the impact of a school wide social emotional learning program on school climate.

The purpose of the article is to provide new information about the initial stage of the process of restoration and revival of Buddhist traditions after the period of repression and atheistic prohibitions. It shows the role of representatives of the Buddhist clergy in the person of the Khambo lamas of the USSR and the MPR Zh.-D. Gomboev, S. Gombozhav and P. B. Baldanzhapov in establishing international relations between the countries, in the creation and opening of the Buddhist Institute in Ulaanbaatar at the Gandantekchenlin Monastery in 1970. The article is written mainly onthe source base of archival materials stored in the private personal archive of P. B. Baldanzhapov kept in the funds of the Center of Oriental Manuscripts and Xylographs of the IMBT SB RAS, such as personal correspondence, copies and drafts of letters of appeals to government and other administrative organizations, plans and programs of visits and receptions of foreign delegations, reports and messages, drafts of articles, photographs. While writing the article, such research methods were used as historical retrospective, which showed the reason for the decline of Buddhist traditions by the early 60s of the last century, a comparative method that allowed assessing the contribution of Buddhist figures in historical perspective, as well as content analysis used for working with archival documents. Results. It has been stated that since the late 50-ies the policy of the Soviet government towards all confessions, including Buddhist, has changed. The main reason for which were political interests of the state aimed at improving its political image in the world, in expanding international relations of the USSR with the states of Southeast Asia, which allowed the Central Religious Board of the Buddhists of the USSR to establish ties with foreign Buddhist organizations and prominent religious public figures of other countries. Since the mid-60-70-ies, due to the joint efforts of Buryat and Mongolian Buddhist figures, actions were initiated for obtaining permission to open a Buddhist educational institution in Ulan-Bator, with the opening of which in 1970 the main threat to the existence of the Buddhist church among the Mongolian peoples was solved t.e. the disappearance of the system of education and training of young lamas.

Study of Bedrock River Profile of Upper Catchment of Kosi River Using Integral Method Called as Chi Analysis
Authors: Pandey Ripunjay
Published: January 2022

Abstract: Bedrock Rivers are generally interpreted with help of slope –area analysis, but noisy data makes such interpretation difficult. An integration of steady state form of stream power equation is applied. This integral method has the potential to provide precise quantity information about erosion rates and their temporal and spatial variations over areas of which topographic data are available. The chi (χ) value is dependent upon area upstream of channel, so an increase or decrease in the drainage area of river can be used to find the equilibrium across a drainage divide. Such that the rivers with same base level and uniform uplift and erosion tends to remain in steady state across the divide but any change in the base level because of tectonics or climate can force the river systems to move towards a unsteady state condition across the divide. We illustrate these applications with analyses of Kosi river profile extracted from digital topographic datasets. Keywords: Bedrock River, integration, stream power, topographic data, chi (χ) value, Channel, Drainage divide, drainage area, base level, Kosi river.

The civil engineering branch is strongly related to the development of the countries and there is still a lot of information available in the buildings constructed. However, these data are dispersed without proper treatment. On the other hand, if these real estate data are reorganized to discover behavior parameters, these properties’ values can be predicted and still work as data and causal relationships between explanatory variables. The purpose of the research is to use construction inspection strategies associated with artificial intelligence to predict the market value of a residential apartment. In this academic experiment, only 6 samples of residential apartments are used. Those samples are located in the Lithuania Republic square at Vila Zelina neighborhood, in São Paulo, Brazil, a source in February 2021. The method uses the results of the inspection of civil engineering and converts them into linguistic terms. The result considers the imprecision, uncertainty, and subjectivity of human expression combined with artificial intelligence and civil engineering. To test the feasibility of the process, a comparison is made between the market values of the samples and the values predicted by the Fuzzy logic. Thus, the good results derived a Main Percentage Absolute Error (MAPE) of 5%, the mean absolute error (MAE), root-mean-square error (RMSE), and determination coefficient (R2) of 0.99.

The classification of these data sets can be automated using machine learning methods. The aim of the research is to provide machine learning methods for classifying sensitive data. The research is based on analysis and comparison of European Union legislation and scientific literature, which addresses issues of data classification using machine learning methods. Special attention is paid to sensitive data defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The main focus in this research is on supervised learning algorithms, where one of the most effective is Naïve Bayes classifier. In order to achieve good results, there is a need to find a proper training data set. Usage of hybrid methods provides a new way for increasing performance of classifiers.
A study on learning difficulties related to dyscalculia and mathematical anxiety
Authors:   Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies, Vintere Anna
Published: January 2022

This article discusses two math learning disorders: dyscalculia and mathematical anxiety. Dyscalculia is a cognitive disorder, math anxiety – emotional. Dyscalculia is a mathematics learning difficulty which is a brain-based condition connected to information organization and proceeding. In turn, mathematical anxiety is one of the emotional factors that causes learning difficulties in mathematics. Therefore, to promote progress in mathematics, the aim of this study is to identify learning difficulties in mathematics from the perspective of teachers and parents, to identify existing experiences in overcoming these learning difficulties in mathematics, and to determine the support needed by teachers. To achieve this goal, both parents and teachers have been surveyed as part of this study. About one-fifth of students have signs of dyscalculia, but 25% – mathematical anxiety. In Latvia, the most problematic type of dyscalculia is the ability to perform mathematical activities and perform both operational and practical calculations, but mathematical anxiety is equally common at all stages of education. According to a survey of teachers, only 7% of students have no mathematics learning difficulties. Parents associate children’s learning difficulties with the organization of the learning process (intensive curricula, when the teacher does not have the opportunity to implement a differentiated / individual approach), as well as teachers’ attitudes. Research shows that teachers are unable or unaware of how to determine whether a student has dyscalculia or math anxiety and do not have appropriate skills, know-how or training to help a student who experiences learning disabilities and difficulties with mathematics.
