Background: Reliable data on the Knowledge, Attitudes, Beliefs, and Practices (KABP) of the indigenes of Akanda and its environs on the different approaches to fight against vectors of malaria is lacking. Objective: To evaluate the KABP of the indigenes of Akanda and its environs on the different techniques used to fight against vectors of malaria. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional survey using semi-structured questionnaires was conducted on heads of randomly selected households at Akanda from April to June 2019. Results: We interviewed 369 heads of households and the population had a high literacy rate. It was noticed that 94% of respondents knew that mosquitoes could transmit malaria. More than 80% believed that Insecticide-Treated bed Nets (ITNs) could protect them from malaria infection. There was no preference in ITNs usage with age cohorts and seasons of the year. The ITNs owned by respondents were mostly purchased from shops. Respondents underlined that their reluctance to sleep under ITNs was because of their inability to breath under such conditions. Also, apart from the use of ITNs for malaria control, Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) using insecticides (mostly Rambo®) purchased from shops and cleaning around house surroundings were practiced by >50% of respondents. Conclusion: Despite respondent’s awareness of mosquitoes as vectors of malaria as well as the use of ITNs, IRS, and cleaning of home surroundings to reduce malaria vectors burden, the ITNs coverage rate is very weak and more sensitization is also required at Akanda in Gabon.
Structure, composition and conditions of formation of Quaternary sediments in the Keltmin burial canyon (southeast of the Komi Republic)

Published: June 2021

Our lithological study of the Quaternary strata in the section of the well 17843 resulted in identification of three sediments sequences of various thickness and composition. In the lower part of the well, at depths of 43.2—27 m (layers 5, 4d and 4c), the sediments were formed probably in fluvioglacial conditions. The sediments are characterized by high content of ilmenite — 7—14 %, and group of titanium minerals — 7—12 %, where concentrations of leucoxene and titanite are increased. The content of chromespinellides increases downwards from 2 to 4.4 %. In the depth interval 25.9—23.6 m (lay 4b), a dense, poorly-sorted silty clay without clastic material is exposed; its genesis is unclear. Clay is characterized by the highest amount of heavy fraction in the section — 1.91 %, and contains an abnormally high amount of magnetite — on average 31 %. The upper 22 m of the sequence (layers 4a and 3—1) are represented by alluvium — well-sorted medium-fine-grained sand with amphibole-ilmenite-garnet-epidote association of heavy minerals and increased amounts of metamorphic minerals — 7—10 %, chromespinellides — 4—6 %, and magnetite — 4—8 %. Such complex of heavy minerals in the sediments, forming the canyon, testifies to the participation of the Ural magmatic and metamorphic complexes in their formation; the supply of minerals from the Kama seems to be very problematic. Palynological analysis data obtained from layers 5, 4d, and 4b reflect a regular vegetation change of the final stages during the interglacial. Spruce-pine forests with fir, cedar, treelike and dwarf birches, alder and willow were gradually replaced by tundra plant communities, where, along with bog-tundra formations, there were xerophytic communities with wormwood Artemisia sp., Chenopodiaceae, and rare Ephedra sp.
Middle Neopleistocene sediments in the lower course of the Pechora River
Authors:   Institute of Geology FRC Komi SC UB RAS, Vorobyev N. N.
Published: June 2021

The results of lithological studies of Quaternary deposits in the coastal outcrops of the valley of the lower course of the river are presented. Pechora. In the latitudinal section of the Pechora, two horizons of boulder loams (moraines) and underlying horizons, dividing or overlapping the moraine strata, are exposed to intermoraine sediments of fluvial genesis. Based on the results of lithological studies of textural, granulometric and mineralogical features of fine earth of deposits and petrographic composition of coarse material, it was concluded that material was supplied during the formation of moraines from different terrigenous-mineralogical provinces. The formation of the lower Pechora (Dnieper) moraine is associated with the North-Eastern feeding province, and the upper Moscow (Vychegda) moraine, with the North-West Fennoscandian center of glaciation. The glacial genesis of boulder loams has been confirmed.

THE FORMATION OF THE ETHICS OF ANCIENT MEDICINE
Authors: Tabatadze G. S. , Kostenko O. V. , Karachentseva T. S.
Published: June 2021

The article considers the formation of the ethics of healing in ancient Egypt and Ancient India, as mandatory rules of behavior of a doctor. Based on historical sources, the article highlights the most characteristic ethical norms of ancient medicine. The formation of the foundations of medical ethics in these countries (IIIII millennium BC), had very similar features, and the specifics were related to the historical and cultural characteristics of a particular society, it occurred spontaneously, at the level of subjective perception and evaluation of the appropriate actions of the doctor. The formation of the doctor's ethics is considered as a process of his socialization, i.e. as a kind of mastering of the ethical norms accepted in this society. It is shown that the formation of medical ethics changes the emphasis of public morality, shifting them towards interpersonal relations in the field of healing, thereby supplementing ethics with new values and understanding of human life.
SURGICAL MASK AS A SYMBOL OF LIFE TRANSFORMATION
Authors: Wiegel N. L. , Shapoval G. N. , Kartashova E. A.
Published: June 2021

The article examines the history of the emergence and use of surgical masks. Despite such a significant variety of masks types, the meaning and main function of them are the same in any case: to cover the face, not to let you see emotions, experience, feelings that are always reflected on the face. Hiding the face from others, translated from the language of symbols, means the symbolic "death of the person". The person who puts on the mask "dies", ceases to exist in the familiar form for others and is "reborn" in a new form. Such self-transformation affects not only a different perception for others, but also self-awareness. The surgical mask, updated during the coronavirus pandemic, is becoming a part of people's lives instead of a medical attribute. Today there is a whole world behind these masks: human health, environmental crisis, identity crisis, protest symbol, and surgical masks exacerbate alienation and create an external standardization and template. We would like this symbolic meaning of confusion and fear, loneliness and isolation, uncertainty about the future to turn into a sign of care and a gesture of community of people.

Published: June 2021

The article presents an analysis of the regulatory legal acts regulating directly or indirectly the activities of the sanatorium-resort complex of the Krasnodar Region in the conditions of COVID-19. The chronology of the introduction of bans and their gradual lifting within the framework of the activities of the sanatorium-resort complex reflected the all-Russian situation, which in general determined the content of the adopted regulatory legal acts. It was revealed that in the Krasnodar Region, in contrast to the Stavropol Region, where they were also concerned about the situation with COVID-19 and the preservation of the sanatorium complex, there is no approved plan for the phased exit of this complex from the anti-epidemic restrictions regime that may adversely affect the operation of the health resort complex of the Krasnodar Region.
EXPERIENCE IN DEVELOPING A WORKING PROGRAM AND APPROBATION OF THE DISCIPLINE "BASIS OF PHARMACEUTICAL ETHICS AND DEONTOLOGY"
Authors: Guryanov P. S. , Guryanova M. N.
Published: June 2021

The article discusses the experience of creating the work programs for the disciplines "Bioethics with the basics of deontology" and "Basics of pharmaceutical ethics and deontology" at the Department of organization, economics and history of pharmacy. The relevance of addressing this topic is that in the educational process of training a pharmacist there are no disciplines that give a first-year student an idea of what he will do in his future professional life, what tasks await him, what bioethical problems he will solve in his professional life. When developing of approaches to the creation of educational and methodological complexes, the main tasks of the discipline were formulated: consideration of the main stages of the formation and development of pharmaceutical ethics as an independent discipline; analysis of the main directions of pharmaceutical ethics with the studying of practical issues of the main problematics; developing ideas about the meaning of the activities of a pharmaceutical specialist in the modern pharmaceutical market within the framework of the ethical components of the profession. Approaches are described to the development of modules of the work program, of the choice of topics for classes and of the filling of the block "Students' independent work". A list of students' practical skills is offered: annotation and abstracting, compilation of grouping tables; application of methods of analysis in the study of ethical and deontological problems; conducting discussions

and polemics; solving of situational problems in professional pharmaceutical activity from the standpoint of pharmaceutical ethics and deontology. It is concluded that it is possible to use the experience of the Perm State Pharmaceutical Academy in the development of work programs for the discipline "Basics of Pharmaceutical Ethics and Deontology" by other universities.

The historical memory of Russians in sociological surveys: foundations, reality, problems
Authors: Fadeev Pavel V.
Published: June 2021

The publication presents an analysis of the materials of the surveys of the FCTAS RAS, the Interregional Social Science Study "The Future of Russia", the Levada Center and the Public Opinion Foundation for the last two decades, covering historical topics. The aim of the study was to identify the main characteristics of the historical consciousness and the state of the historical memory of Russians at present. Studies by sociological centres in recent years show that the historical knowledge of a large part of Russians is fragmentary, comes from different sources, and is not always correct. Many events and personalities are mixed up in consciousness, or even forgotten altogether. Moreover, this phenomenon refers not only to distant events in history, known exclusively from textbooks, but also to decades directly related to the person´s life. Choosing between various historical alternatives of the country's future vision, Russians to a greater extent are focused on neutral ideas of strengthening Russia's position in the external and internal arena, whilst the ideas of an “Orthodox state”, a turn towards Europe or Eurasianism do not find major support among the population. With major contribution by the authorities the Great Patriotic War at present is the main historical event, overshadowing all the others. At the same time, the constant emphasis on the war theme and on heroic moments, combined with the levelling of tragic ones, causes a distorted perception of the event among a part of the population. In addition, the interpretation of history (especially during the Great Patriotic War) becomes the arena of a "political war." Various political forces give their own interpretation of events, that can both confuse some citizens and, on the other hand, form irreconcilable ideological opponents. The memory of the war is becoming more and more mythologised as a consequence of the fact that its real participants are gradually passing away. In connection with all above, current and future generations will have to look for grains of truth in a highly politicised and sometimes deceptive information field. The correct perspective of raising the awareness of the Russian population, “clarifying historical consciousness” is seen in a multifaceted historical discourse with the participation of professional historians, openness to any discussion, and broader media coverage.

Published: June 2021

The article presents an analysis of the dynamics of the population of the priority geostrategic territories of the Russian Federation. They are highlighted in the "Strategy for the Spatial Development of the Russian Federation until 2025" as territories that are of particular importance for the development of the country as a whole and are distinguished at the same time by special life conditions and the functioning of the economy due to their geographical location. Population dynamics for such territories is both a factor determining socio-economic development and an indicator of the effectiveness of this development. The components of the population dynamics - natural growth and migration flows - are of particular importance. The article describes all four groups of priority geostrategic territories of Russia - isolated from the main territory of the country (exclaves), located in the North Caucasus and the Far East, in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. For each group, trends in population dynamics have been identified since the 2010 census, taking into account the components of natural growth and migration. The multidirectional aspect of the main demographic processes in the priority geostrategic territories of the country is revealed - natural growth is combined with the migration outflow of the population, and the migration inflow - with natural decline. At the same time, in the exclave and North Caucasian territories, the population is growing, and in the Far Eastern and Arctic territories it is decreasing. The features of both groups of priority geostrategic territories in comparison with Russia as a whole and of individual constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipalities within groups of territories are shown. The latter became possible due to the use of the database "Municipal Russia", that summarises demographic statistics for all urban districts and municipal areas of the country, including those located in priority geostrategic territories. As a result of the analysis of the population dynamics, directions have been identified that can lead to an improvement in the demographic situation in the priority geostrategic territories of the country, and, accordingly, will contribute to the socio-economic development of not only these territories, but the entire Russian Federation
Analysis of search query statistics as a tool for monitoring the ecological attitudes of the region's population
Authors: Zabokritskaya Liubov D. , Oreshkina Tatiana A.
Published: June 2021

The article reveals the main approaches to understanding the essence of ecological culture, as well as its basic components: cognitive, value and activity. The article focuses on the fact that pro-ecological behaviorur is a leading indicator of ecological culture. It is noted that a society can have a sufficiently high level of environmental knowledge and correct values, but in the absence of pro-environmental behaviorur, we cannot speak about the proper level of environmental culture. Attention is focused on the difficulties of empirical study of the real state of the components of ecological culture. The definition of the term "digital footprint" is given. The possibility and expediency of studying the ecological attitudes of the population as the most mobile element of ecological culture using the analysis of statistics of search queries is shown. The purpose of the study is to identify the ecological attitudes of the inhabitants of the Sverdlovsk region and approbation of the methodology for analyzing statistics of search queries of the population on environmental topics, recorded by the Yandex search engine. The study was carried out within the framework of a quantitative approach. To collect empirical information, a continuous collection of search queries from the population of the Sverdlovsk region was carried out from 2010 to 2019 inclusive. The technique of collection, processing and analysis of search queries of the population is described. The analysis made it possible to identify a number of significant pro-ecological attitudes of the population, for example, for a significant part of the population of the Sverdlovsk region it is important to know and apply technologies for waste disposal, to know the state of air and water in the place of residence, as well as technologies for checking and cleaning them. It was found that children and adolescents are more interested in information about various kinds of environmental pollution, and young people and people of the middle age group are more interested in means and technologies for waste disposal and cleaning of natural resources. In general, the results of the study showed that search query data can serve as a source of up-to-date information on the ecological attitudes of the region's population. The advantages and disadvantages of the analysis of search queries as an empirical research method are shown.
Integration Potential of Migrants and the Host Society: Similarities and Differences (on the Example of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
Authors: Arutyunova Ekaterina M. , Kuznetsov Igor M.
Published: June 2021

The article provides the analysis and comparison of the integration potential of the host society and migrants in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The analysis was carried out on the basis of two surveys: a representative survey of residents of the republic and a survey of labour migrants - immigrants from Central Asia (Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan). It is these categories of migrants that are most negatively perceived by the local population. The surveys were conducted in 2020. For a quantitative assessment of the integration potential, a set of questions-judgments was constructed, reflecting different parameters of this potential. Among them: the willingness of the host population to include migrants in their community and the corresponding judgment of migrants about their readiness to be included in the environment; judgment about the integration possibilities of migrants and the assessment by migrants of the acceptability of local standards of lifestyle, and others. Using the procedure of factor analysis, an indicator of the integration potential was formed.

It was revealed that among migrants the share of people with a high integration potential is significantly higher than in the host community. This means that migrants assess the receiving environment and their own integration prospects higher than local residents.

The high level of ethno-negative attitudes of the host community is accompanied by a low level of integration potential in relation to migrants. Such negativism is most often associated with a sense of cultural distance in the perception of migrants' behaviorur. At the same time, a pronounced focus on ethnicity in different contexts of social interaction is also associated with a low integration potential in relation to migrants and can be a source of the formation of stable xenophobic attitudes.

The high level of integration potential of migrants is primarily associated with long-term plans for life in Russia and this region, as well as with the presence of a family (in the region of residence or in the country of origin). Thus, for local communities, the main criterion for assessing migrants is the degree to which their behaviorur corresponds to local socio-cultural norms, and for migrants, the key criterion for assessing the host society is a measure of the possibility of a safe and materially prosperous life in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and in Russia as a whole. Such a difference in assessment criteria can create additional obstacles for both parties to active daily interaction in different areas inhibiting the processes of mutual integration.
Los lugares de memoria en la ciudad de Madrid
Authors: Escalante Lucía Soledad
Published: June 2021

La investigación propuesta indagó las relaciones que existen entre el derecho a la memoria y el derecho a la ciudad. Para ello se analizaron desde una teoría crítica de los derechos humanos y teniendo como punto de contacto entre ambos derechos las inscripciones espaciales que materializan la memoria colectiva en la ciudad de Madrid. Es así que se buscó comprobar, desde una dimensión jurídica basada en un enfoque de derechos y con perspectiva espacial, si aquellos lugares que materializan y garantizan la memoria pueden a su vez garantizar el acceso al derecho a la ciudad en virtud de que colaboran en la creación de una ciudad más democrática. La metodología empleada consistió en un análisis crítico de textos, relevamiento y estudio exhaustivo de las normas y estándares nacionales e internacionales, políticas públicas locales, observación y registro de los lugares y, por último, una entrevista en profundidad mediante la técnica de muestra de caso sumamente importante para el problema analizado.

El impacto de la pandemia provocada por el COVID-19 ha llevado al mundo a una crisis sanitaria y de emergencia sin precedentes. En este escenario, las mujeres de la región del Norte de África y Medio Oriente han experimentado una acentuación de la ya existente brecha de género. El aumento de las desigualdades se ha podido observar en múltiples ámbitos como el económico, el sanitario o el social. Asimismo, se ha producido una exacerbación de problemáticas como la violencia de género, ya conocida como “la pandemia en la sombra”. Pese a las medidas impuestas por los gobiernos y las sugeridas por las distintas Organizaciones Internacionales, la región del Norte de África y Medio Oriente aún debe avanzar en la protección de los derechos humanos de las mujeres.
MYOCARDIAL BRIDGE - A VARIANT OF NORMAL ANATOMY OR PATHOLOGY? CASE REPORT

Published: June 2021

Myocardial (muscle) bridges are considered a variant of the normal anatomy of the coronary arteries, but there are some reports of their clinical significance: their presence is associated with angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, ventricular tachycardia, and sudden cardiac death. In this study, using a clinical case as an example, the significance of the problem, approaches to assessing perioperative risk and methods for identifying risk factors at the preoperative stage in a patient with abnormal coronary arteries are presented. At stydiyng clinical case according to the results of coronary angiography in the 7th segment of the anterior interventricular artery, a myocardial bridge with stenosis in systole up to 95% was revealed, which, against the background of hemorrhagic shock, could provoke the development of acute coronary syndrome. An analysis of a clinical case, a review of the literature on assessing the risks of patients with myocardial bridges demonstrates an insufficient assessment of this morphological feature for patients with a non-cardiac surgery profile. In the studied case, the patient underwent elective orthopedic surgery and emergency surgery aimed at stopping bleeding. Surgery with concomitant trauma, systemic inflammatory response, anesthesia and analgesia, pain, hypothermia, bleeding, anemia, and nutritional deficiencies is similar to an extreme stress test. The combination of these factors provokes inflammatory, hypercoagulable, stressful and hypoxic conditions, which are associated with a perioperative increase in troponin levels, arterial thrombosis and, as a consequence, a high risk of mortality. The authors suggest that current clinical guidelines for assessing perioperative risks need to be improved. With such a refinement, it is necessary to rely not only on the existing international recommendations, but also on the results of the latest meta-analyzes devoted to the prognostic role of preventive myocardial recanalization before surgery. Thus, in summary, it can be noted that the existing clinical guidelines and risk assessment scales do not contain ready-made solutions for all clinical cases, but can only be the basis for making decisions in specific situations and do not provide sufficient guarantees of the success of surgical interventions.
THE HISTORY, OPPORTUNITIES AND PROSPECTS OF TIME-LAPSE TECHNOLOGIES IN THE STUDY OF EARLY HUMAN EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Shurygina Oksana V. , Vasilenko Ol'ga Yu. , Yukhimets Sergey N. , Shipulin Nikita A.
Published: June 2021

Despite advances in assisted reproductive technologies, the high failure rate of existing stimulation protocols remains a key industry challenge. One of the leading reasons for this is the limited ability to assess the biological potential of the embryo and its chances of implantation. Over the past ten years, the focus of attention in reproductive technologies has significantly shifted from the patient to the embryo, since the need to improve their effectiveness stimulates the need to understand the deep processes of early development of the embryo. In order to increase the effectiveness of in vitro fertilization procedures in clinical embryology, high-tech methods of culturing and evaluating embryos are being introduced and improved. The purpose of the review is to demonstrate the history, possibilities and prospects in the study of early human embryonic development of time-lapse imaging technology. The active study and use of the capabilities of the time-lapse slow-motion technology allowed not only to expand the understanding of the processes of early development of the embryo, but also at the current moment allows us to assess its potential from the point of view of both biological and clinical perspectives. The main advantages of this method are the possibility of morphological assessment during the continuous cultivation of embryos in closed-type incubators without their extraction, as well as the determination of the exact time intervals of key events of the stages of embryo development with special attention to those moments that are not available for observation and fixation under conditions of traditional cultivation. clinical practice. The main point of growth for the development of time-lapse imaging technology was the creation and validation of the so-called morphokinetic criteria and algorithms for assessing the quality of developing embryos. The key perspective of the method is its use in combination with elements of artificial intelligence in order to predict the most potential embryo for transfer into the uterine cavity. Modern directions of research using the method of time-lapse shooting are the continuation of the development of morphokinetic algorithms and their effective criteria, the introduction of the technology of self-learning computer programs and the adaptation of these tools in clinical practice, the search and assessment of possible factors influencing the morphokinetics of embryos, quality control of the work of embryological laboratories. The future development of such technologies is presented in combination not only with the capabilities of artificial intelligence, but also in combination with the use of non-invasive genetic screening, the assessment of metabolomics and proteomics of developing embryos.

Published: June 2021

Background: Mosquito repellent technology has changed from conventional technology to electric technology, which is more secure and practical. All insect repellent contains chemical compounds that can endanger health. D-Allethrin, the first pyrethroid generation of mosquito repellent is used commercially. Some studies in multi-ethnic population found transplacental transmission in pregnancy. Objective: This study aims to evaluate influences of D-Allethrin in mosquito repellent on liver and kidney, and teratogenic effects in foetal mice. Methods: An experimental laboratory design was conducted in 18 pregnant female Balb/c mice. They were randomized into 3 groups: Group K, P1 and P2. Group K was not given anything. Group P1 and P2 were given exposure pathways of mosquito repellent with inhalation for 12 and 24 hours, in a period of gestational age (0-18 days). On day 19, a Cesar surgery was conducted to take their foetuses and to count the number of living foetuses, dead foetuses, disability, and morphological abnormalities. Results: The administration of allethrin inhalation with dose 12 hours and 24 hours significantly damage mice’s kidney and liver microscopically (p<0.05). A microscopic result of the liver were necrosis in portal areas, hydropic degeneration of lobules, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and fibrosis in the portal area causing a sinusoidal portal to widen. Kidney examination obtained necrosis and hydropic degeneration, as well as the infiltration of lymphocytes and erythrocytes. Teratogenic effects in the foetuses were prematurity and failure of foetal development. Conclusion: Exposure pathways of D-Allethrin in mosquito repellent affected the microscopic appearance of the liver, kidney, and teratogenic effects in the foetuses.

Background: Irregular menstrual cycles are a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in women. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate irregular menstrual cycles as a risk factor of type 2 DM in women of childbearing age with body fat percentage, waist-hip ratio, diet quality, and physical activity as confounding factors. Methods: This was a case-control study. Its subjects were subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=31) and subjects without any clinical evidence of abnormal glucose regulation (n=31) who attended Puskesmas (Community Health Centre) Rowosari, Tembalang, Semarang with over 30 years of age. Based on their menstrual cycles, they were divided into two groups: women with irregular menstrual cycles, and those with regular menstrual cycles. Cochran Mantel-Haenszel test was used to control their confounding factors. Results: There was an association between irregular menstrual cycles and type 2 DM (p<0.05) with a 7.2 greater risk on women of childbearing age (OR = 7.2, 95% CI=2.18-23.75). By the Cochran Mantel-Haenszel test, the association was still significant; women with over percentage of body fat and central obese with irregular menstrual cycle had 4,85 times and 4,37 times of sequentially greater risk on type 2 DM (OR = 4.85, 95% CI=0.98-23.95 vs OR = 4.37, 95% CI=0.93-20.51). Conclusion: The irregular menstrual cycles was a risk factor of type 2 DM, especially in obese women of childbearing age.

Changes in atmospheric CO2, ocean temperature, and regional vegetation conditions in Mesoamerica indicate that significant trends in temperature and rainfall may have occurred in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas, Mexico. This is an important region for flora and fauna which could be affected by climate trends. We aimed to determine if and where climate trends had occurred in the Sierra Madre and lower elevation regions between 1990 and 2016 (27 years), if these trends were part of longer term (1960-2016 [57 years]) changes, and how changes in large-scale and regional/local conditions may be influencing these trends. In the Sierra Madre, overall minimum daily temperatures increased, maximum temperatures decreased, and the most significant mean temperature trends were cooler during the 27-yr period. Both the start and end of the wet season trended earlier in the year, and wet season rainfall increased significantly. Trends were not significant during the 57-yr period in the Sierra Madre; however, in the adjacent Pacific coast region, significant warmer temperature trends continued during this period. Within regions, there was large variation in temperature and rainfall changes and some local trends were opposite to the regional averages. Large-scale processes of warming sea surface temperatures in the east coast of Mexico, a change from the positive to negative phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and increases in atmospheric CO2 may be influencing these trends. At the regional scale, increases in dense vegetation and evapotranspiration since 1990 may have created characteristics favoring a positive feedback of higher ocean-based moisture and vegetation-based precipitation cycling.
Revealed Preferences of Fourth Graders When Requesting Face-to-Face Help While Doing Math Exercises Online

Published: June 2021

When in doubt, asking a peer can be very helpful. Students learn a lot of social strategies from peers. However, stated preference studies [Newman, 1993] have found that for elementary school students with math questions they prefer to ask the teacher. In this paper, we study revealed preferences instead of stated preferences. We analyze the behavior of fourth-grade students seeking face-to-face assistance while working on an online math platform. Students start by working independently on the platform before the teacher selects two or three tutors from among those who have answered 10 questions correctly. Each student is then able to choose between the teacher or one of these tutors when requesting assistance. We study the students’ preferences over 3 years, involving 88 fourth-grade classes, 2,700 students, 1,209 sessions with classmate tutors, and a total of 16,485 requests for help when there was an option to choose between a teacher or a classmate. We found that students prefer asking classmates for help 3 times more than asking their teachers when given the choice. Furthermore, this gap increases from the first to the second semester. We also found that students prefer to request help from classmates of the same sex and of higher academic performance. In this sense, students from the two highest tertiles sought help from classmates in the same two tertiles, and students from the medium tertile prefer to seek help from students of the highest tertile. However, students in the two lowest tertiles do not prefer asking for help from students from the top tertile more than from their own tertiles.
Hyperspectral Image Classification Using Unsupervised Learning Algorithms

Published: June 2021

Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification is a mechanism of analyzing differentiated land cover in remotely sensed hyperspectral images. In the last two decades, a number of different types of classification algorithms have been proposed for classifying hyperspectral data. These algorithms include supervised as well as unsupervised methods. Each of these algorithms has its own limitations. In this research, three different types of unsupervised classification methods are used to classify different datasets i-e Pavia Center, Pavia University, Cuprite, Moffett Field. The main objective is to assess the performance of all three classifiers K-Means, Spectral Matching, and Abundance Mapping, and observing their applicability on different datasets. This research also includes spectral feature extraction for hyperspectral datasets.
Drug Use Control Perception and Strategies in General and Clinical Population in a Spanish City
Authors: Amigo Salvador , Belaña Angela
Published: June 2021

Background: This article evaluates the perception of drug use control and strategies in Valencia City (Spain) in a general and clinical population, in two independent studies. Material and Methods: 1071 people participated. In the Study 1 (n= 924) the entire sample came from general population (GP), and in the Study 2 (n=147), 68 were drug users being treated in an Addictive Behaviors Unit (ABU), and 79 people of the GP. The drug use control perception and strategies in both subgroups were compared. The participants filled in the Drug Use Strategies Scale and a Drug Use Survey. Results: A high level of perception of drug control in GP was obtained (72,7% in the Study 1 and 67,5% in the Study 2), and 32.5% in ABU subgroup. People in the PG and drug users in treatment differ in some control strategies. A predictive profile of the perception of control was obtained for the Study 2. Conclusion: The high degree of perception of controlling drug use in the GP, and partially in drug users being treated, and the specific control strategies reported suggests that moderate use and drug control strategies are a great value alternative to bear in mind compared to abstinence.
