Authors: Han Qiang , Wang Yu , Sun Na , Chu Jiadong , Hu Wei , Shen Yueping
Published: November 2023

High-throughput technologies have made high-dimensional settings increasingly common, providing opportunities for the development of high-dimensional mediation methods. We aimed to provide useful guidance for researchers using high-dimensional mediation analysis and ideas for biostatisticians to develop it by summarizing and discussing recent advances in high-dimensional mediation analysis. The method still faces many challenges when extended single and multiple mediation analyses to high-dimensional settings. The development of high-dimensional mediation methods attempts to address these issues, such as screening true mediators, estimating mediation effects by variable selection, reducing the mediation dimension to resolve correlations between variables, and utilizing composite null hypothesis testing to test them. Although these problems regarding high-dimensional mediation have been solved to some extent, some challenges remain. First, the correlation between mediators are rarely considered when the variables are selected for mediation. Second, downscaling without incorporating prior biological knowledge makes the results difficult to interpret. In addition, a method of sensitivity analysis for the strict sequential ignorability assumption in high-dimensional mediation analysis is still lacking. An analyst needs to consider the applicability of each method when utilizing them, while a biostatistician could consider extensions and improvements in the methodology.
Die geschlossene Kapitalgesellschaft im europäischen Gesellschaftsrecht – Der steinige Weg von der SPE über die SUP zur SES

Nachdem zunächst vor allem große Unternehmen im Blickpunkt des Europäischen Gesellschafts-rechts standen, liegt der Fokus jüngerer europäischer Reformdiskussionen verstärkt auf kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen (KMU). Alle bisherigen Bemühungen zur Schaffung einer europäischen Rechtsform für geschlossene Kapitalgesellschaften, insbesondere die Verabschiedung der SPE-VO und der SUP-RiLi, sind jedoch gescheitert. Nunmehr haben Frankreich und Deutschland mit der „Societas Europaea Simplificata“ (SES) einen neuen Versuch unternommen. Mit dem vorliegenden Beitrag soll untersucht werden, welche Lösungsvorschläge für die regelungsbedürftigen Konflikt-felder (Gläubigerschutz, Minderheitenschutz) bzw. die auf dem Weg zu einer europaweit einheit-lichen Regelung immer wieder auftretenden Hindernisse (u. a. Arbeitnehmermitbestimmung) der französisch-deutsche Entwurf anbietet und wie die Chancen auf eine Ausweitung in der EU stehen.
VÁLSÁGOK – MOZGÁSTEREK – KÉNYSZERPÁLYÁK. A TÁRSADALMI ÉLETHELYZETEK VÁLTOZÁSAI A VÁLSÁGOK IDEJÉN

Az előadás alapvetően történeti jellegű. Azt járjuk körbe, hogy az elmúlt évszázadok során a különböző válsághelyzetek az európai népesség azonnali és hosszú távú működésében milyen változásokat eredményeztek, s a társadalmi csoportoknak milyen alkalmazkodási lehetőségei maradtak. Régóta tudható, hogy a piacgazdaság természetes vonása a konjunktúrák és válságok egymásutánisága, azonban minden egyes válságnak különbözik a természetrajza: más okokra vezethetők vissza, eltérő volt a lefolyásuk és a következményeik. Éppen ezért érdemes megvizsgálni, hogy a leggyakrabban előforduló válságok (éhínségek, természeti katasztrófák, járványok, háborúk, gazdasági válságok, társadalmi defektusok stb.) esetén egyéni és csoportszinten mivel járt a válság, hogyan borította fel az addigi életvilágokat, s milyen válaszlehetőségek maradtak. A felvetett téma természetesen szélesíthető, hiszen a gazdaságés társadalomtörténet, a szociológia, az etnográfia, a gazdasági antropológia, a közgazdaságtan, a pszichológia stb. tudománya újabb és újabb megközelítéséket adhat a témához.

Az online kommunikációban tapasztalható legfrissebb trendek azt jelzik, hogy a fiatal felhasználók körében egyre nagyobb népszerűségnek örvendenek azok az online tartalmak, formátumok és platformok, amelyek a valóságot vagy a valóság valamiféle rekonstruált változatát próbálják bemutatni. Gyakran azt tapasztaljuk, hogy a hétköznapok és a mindennapi élet filterek nélküli bemutatásával kapcsolatos megosztások vonzzák a figyelmet, miközben a túlfilterezett, túlszerkesztett illúziók helyet sok esetben az átlagos, a hétköznapi, az ismerős válik népszerűvé. A digitális médiában a folyamat a lassítás irányába mutató ellentrendként is értelmezhető, amely tudatosan épít a klasszikus figyelemgazdaság viszonyai között jelentkező fogyasztói attitűdökre, úgymint a túlhajszoltság, a kiégés és a kifáradás. Az érdeklődés felfutását az olyan platformok robbanásszerű fejlődése jelzi, mint a BeReal alkalmazás, amely 2023- ban az egyik leggyorsabban növekvő applikáció a fiatal felhasználók körében. Vajon mennyire biztonságos a BeReal? Milyen felhasználói gyakorlatokkal találkozunk a felületen? Miért érdemes óvatosan kezelni a megoldást? Vajon mit várhatunk az alkalmazástól a jövőben?

Etiological Theories of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA): A Narrative Review
Authors: Liang Megan , Rhind Avery , Tehfe Reem , Xiong Grace , Ybema Seth
Published: November 2023

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common pediatric rheumatic disease. It can be classified by diverse clinical presentations across subtypes classified by inflammation, swelling, and pain. This review examines current perspectives on factors impacting JIA etiology and future areas of development. Genetic and environmental factors, including early-life nutrition (i.e. breastmilk), mode of infant delivery, antibiotic exposure, and infections have been proposed as etiological candidates in the literature. Various human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes and non-HLA genes related to immune signaling are risk factors for specific JIA subtypes. The impact of infection on JIA development has also been examined; it remains unclear whether infection plays a protective or harmful role. Moreover, shorter durations of breastfeeding during childhood may be associated with an increased risk of JIA development, given that breast milk consumption favorably increases bifidobacterium, changes the composition of the microbiome, and increases microbial diversity. Additionally, mode of delivery can play a role in the onset of JIA as birth delivery through Cesarean section puts children at a higher risk of JIA compared to infants born vaginally. Lastly, antibiotic exposure and its dose- and timedependent relationship also play a role in the microbiome and JIA pathogenesis. This research is significant, as an increased understanding of the etiology of clinically heterogeneous JIA subtypes may improve future treatments. Current limitations, research gaps, and future directions in the field are also discussed.

Stavridis, I, Ekizos, A, Zisi, M, Agilara, G-O, Tsolakis, C, Terzis, G, and Paradisis, G. The effects of heavy resisted sled pulling on sprint mechanics and spatiotemporal parameters. J Strength Cond Res 37(12): 2346–2353, 2023—This study examines the effects of 2 resisted sled sprinting (RSS) training programs: with a load corresponding to the running velocity associated with the apex of the individual velocity-power relationship (50%vdec), with a load equal to 10% of body mass (10% BM), and of an unresisted sprint training (URS). We measured the 30-m sprint performance in intervals of 5 m examining sprint acceleration, mechanical properties (theoretical maximal horizontal power [Pmax], force [F0], velocity [v0], slope of the force-velocity relationship [SFv], maximal ratio of horizontal-to-resultant force [RFmax], rate of decrease in RF [Drf]), and spatiotemporal parameters (step frequency [SF], step length [SL], flight time [FT], and contact time [CT]). Twenty-seven sprinters were randomly assigned into the 50%vdec, 10% BM, and URS groups, performing 12 sessions over 6 consecutive weeks (2 sets of 5 sprints per session). The 50%vdec group significantly improved (p < 0.05) their performance in all 30-m intervals. Posttraining, the 50%vdec group showed significantly increased P
max, F0, and RFmax (mean differences: 1.46 ± 1.70 W·kg−1, 0.51 ± 0.68 N·kg−1, and 0.17 ± 0.18%, respectively), compared with pretraining. The 50%vdec group achieved higher SF, whereas FT decreased postintervention. No significant changes (p > 0.05) were found in the performance and mechanical and spatiotemporal variables in the other groups. In conclusion, RSS training with a load of 50%vdec provides an effective loading stimulus to induce adaptations that improve sprint acceleration performance. The improvements are explained by greater amounts of force and power, efficient force application, and higher step frequencies.

Thome, M, Thorpe, RT, Jordan, MJ, and Nimphius, S. Validity of global positioning system (GPS) technology to measure maximum velocity sprinting in elite sprinters. J Strength Cond Res 37(12): 2438–2442, 2023—The objective of this study was to assess the concurrent validity of 10-Hz wearable Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure maximum velocity sprinting (V
max) relative to Doppler radar in elite sprinters. Data were collected from a single training session performed by elite 100 and 200 m sprinters (males: n = 5; 100 m best times: 10.02 ± 0.07 seconds, range: 9.94–10.10 seconds; 200 m best times: 20.29 ± 0.42 seconds, range: 19.85–20.80 seconds; females: n = 2; age: 28.0 ± 4.2 years; body mass: 65.8 ± 4.6 kg; 100 m best times: 11.18 ± 0.34 seconds; 200 m best times: 22.53 ± 0.04 seconds). Velocity and time data from 16 maximal, 60-m sprint efforts were recorded simultaneously with 10 Hz GPS and 47 Hz radar. Validity was assessed using Bland-Altman 95% limits of agreement (LOA) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), each with respective 95% confidence intervals (CI). V
max measured with 10 Hz GPS demonstrated a LOA of −0.11 m·s−1 (−0.17, −0.05) and an ICC of 0.99 (0.98, 1.0) relative to the radar device.10 Hz GPS overestimated V
max by 0.11 m·s−1 relative to the radar but could still be considered a suitable tool for monitoring external load in elite sprinters. However, the much smaller average annual improvement in this population (∼0.1–0.2%) in comparison with the ∼1% overestimation reduces the utility of 10 Hz GPS to detect meaningful performance changes in maximum velocity.
Micro-constructive Damage Model of Dry-Wet Cyclic Red Clay Based on Weibull Distribution
Authors: Ma Hongyan , Duan Zhibao , Zhang Tianfu , Xu Song , Lv Mengxi
Published: November 2023

To address the strength damage of red clay under dry-wet cycles, systematic conventional triaxial tests under specific circumferential pressure and scanning electron microscope observation were carried out to describe the damage evolution of soil units under load conditions of dry-wet cycle red clay microunits based on the Weibull distribution. Damage variable expressions obeying the Weibull distribution were established and the micro-parameter pore area ratio and the macro-parameter dry-wet cycle number were introduced. The cross-scale characterization of macroscopic and microscopic parameters was realized by combining the damage mechanics equation of red clay under loading. The microscopic damage intrinsic model of red clay considering the number of dry-wet cycles was constructed. The model was verified to be reasonable and effective based on triaxial tests, in which the calculation errors of the secant modulus damage threshold, probability density function shape parameter, and dry-wet cycle red clay damage stress were within 10 %, 5 %, and 5 %, respectively.

The introduction of Internet-connected technologies to the classroom has the potential to revolutionize STEM education by allowing students to perform experiments in complex models that are unattainable in traditional teaching laboratories. By connecting laboratory equipment to the cloud, we introduce students to experimentation in pluripotent stem cell (PSC)-derived cortical organoids in two different settings: using microscopy to monitor organoid growth in an introductory tissue culture course and using high-density (HD) multielectrode arrays (MEAs) to perform neuronal stimulation and recording in an advanced neuroscience mathematics course. We demonstrate that this approach develops interest in stem cell and neuroscience in the students of both courses. All together, we propose cloud technologies as an effective and scalable approach for complex project-based university training.
Decomposing Neural Circuit Function into Information Processing Primitives
Authors: Voges Nicole , Lima Vinicius , Hausmann Johannes , Brovelli Andrea , Battaglia Demian
Published: November 2023

It is challenging to measure how specific aspects of coordinated neural dynamics translate into operations of information processing and, ultimately, cognitive functions. An obstacle is that simple circuit mechanisms—such as self-sustained or propagating activity and nonlinear summation of inputs—do not directly give rise to high-level functions. Nevertheless, they already implement simple the information carried by neural activity. Here, we propose that distinct functions, such as stimulus representation, working memory, or selective attention, stem from different combinations and types of low-level manipulations of information or information processing primitives. To test this hypothesis, we combine approaches from information theory with simulations of multi-scale neural circuits involving interacting brain regions that emulate well-defined cognitive functions. Specifically, we track the information dynamics emergent from patterns of neural dynamics, using quantitative metrics to detect where and when information is actively buffered, transferred or nonlinearly merged, as possible modes of low-level processing (storage, transfer and modification). We find that neuronal subsets maintaining representations in working memory or performing attentional gain modulation are signaled by their boosted involvement in operations of information storage or modification, respectively. Thus, information dynamic metrics, beyond detecting which network units participate in cognitive processing, also promise to specify how and when they do it, that is, through which type of primitive computation, a capability that may be exploited for the analysis of experimental recordings.
Does Ipsilateral Remapping Following Hand Loss Impact Motor Control of the Intact Hand?

Published: November 2023

What happens once a cortical territory becomes functionally redundant? We studied changes in brain function and behavior for the remaining hand in humans (male and female) with either a missing hand from birth (one-handers) or due to amputation. Previous studies reported that amputees, but not one-handers, show increased ipsilateral activity in the somatosensory territory of the missing hand (i.e., remapping). We used a complex finger task to explore whether this observed remapping in amputees involves recruiting more neural resources to support the intact hand to meet greater motor control demands. Using basic fMRI analysis, we found that only amputees had more ipsilateral activity when motor demand increased; however, this did not match any noticeable improvement in their behavioral task performance. More advanced multivariate fMRI analyses showed that amputees had stronger and more typical representation—relative to controls’ contralateral hand representation—compared with one-handers. This suggests that in amputees, both hand areas work together more collaboratively, potentially reflecting the intact hand's efference copy. One-handers struggled to learn difficult finger configurations, but this did not translate to differences in univariate or multivariate activity relative to controls. Additional white matter analysis provided conclusive evidence that the structural connectivity between the two hand areas did not vary across groups. Together, our results suggest that enhanced activity in the missing hand territory may not reflect intact hand function. Instead, we suggest that plasticity is more restricted than generally assumed and may depend on the availability of homologous pathways acquired early in life.

Defining Indigenous in Indonesia and Its Applicability to the International Legal Framework on Indigenous People’s Rights
Authors: Fahmi Chairul , Jihad Azka Amalia , Matsuno Akihisa , Fauzan Faisal , Stoll Peter-Tobias
Published: November 2023

This paper aims to analyse the concept of indigenous peoples in Indonesia and examines whether the concept is appropriate with an international legal framework. Analysing the concept is essential to legitimising indigenous rights under the international law regime. The discourse on indigenous in Indonesia emerged after the government rejected an international treaty on indigenous rights and was reluctant to adopt the UNDRIP into their national law. The government opposes this by arguing that the concept of indigenous peoples under the international legal framework is inappropriate for the Indonesian context. Consequently, indigenous peoples in Indonesia do not benefit from international norms that have recognised and protected their rights globally. This paper found that the concept of indigenous peoples in Indonesia has similarities and is appropriate to the international instrument (ILO169 and UNDRIP). Thus, ratifying the ILO treaty or adopting the UNDRIP into national law will benefit the indigenous in protecting their fundamental rights, including their collective rights to traditional lands under international norms.
Legal Culture and Legal Consciousness of Consumers: The Influence on Regulation and Enforcement of Consumer Protection Laws
Authors: Fibrianti Nurul , Santoso Budi , Setyowati Ro’fah , Rindyawati Yuli
Published: November 2023

Consumers, as end users of products without the intent of resale, require protection due to their lack of economic motives in consumption. State intervention in safeguarding consumers is achieved through the formulation and enforcement of regulations. These regulatory frameworks play a pivotal role in shaping consumer behavior concerning goods and services. Diverse consumer behaviors are observed globally, denoted as consumer legal culture, influenced by various societal backgrounds. The effectiveness of regulations lies in their alignment with the values embraced by consumers, facilitating enforcement. This article aims to scrutinize consumer behavior in three distinct countries—Indonesia, Spain, and Australia—each characterized by unique cultures that profoundly impact consumer behavior, as well as the development and implementation of regulations. This article highlights that consumer behavior in Indonesia diverges from some countries, displaying a tendency toward weaker self-protection. Despite Indonesia's diverse society, consumer awareness of product scrutiny is lacking. Notably, affordability often trumps safety and quality considerations, reflecting a broader trend. Legal awareness is low, attributed to insufficient education and information on consumer rights. Weaknesses in consumer protection regulations and inconsistent enforcement contribute to perceptions of inadequate safeguards. Globally, varying social and cultural conditions shape consumer behavior, highlighting the common challenge of fostering awareness and proactive engagement in ensuring product safety and quality.

Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study is to determine the urgency of the establishment of a special court in resolving disputes over the results of the regional elections in Indonesia, because there will be simultaneous regional elections in 2024, and on the other hand the Constitutional Court (MK) is no longer authorized to resolve disputes over the results of the elections. This study uses a normative legal research method, with a statutory approach and the data used are secondary data. Based on the discussion, it was found that the special court which has the authority to resolve disputes over the results of the regional elections is very urgent to be established or determined, this is in accordance with the mandate of Law Number 10 of 2016 and as a follow-up to the decision of the Constitutional Court No. 97/PUU-XI/2013. Other reasons are: (a) The mandate of the law is limitative, (b) The nature of the Constitutional Court's duties as a constitutional enforcement agency (Court of law) and not a concrete case (Court of Justice), (c) The nature of the decision without proper appeal contrary to the basic principles of the electoral law system, (d) A settlement approach with a quantitative paradigm that is difficult to realize a sense of justice, (e) A separate judicial system makes the legal system for regional elections uncertain and difficult to achieve justice, certainty, and benefit. In addition, there is an urgent need because the simultaneous national elections are planned to be held in November 2024. This special court can be newly formed, its position can be under the Supreme Court (MA) or stand-alone autonomously outside the Supreme Court or empower existing institutions, especially institutions whose duties are related to elections by giving the authority to settle disputes over the results of the elections.

Published: November 2023

Social media has enabled individuals to publicly express their feelings, opinions, or sentiments about specific issues, including government policies. The accumulation of similar views from social media users can represent how the public perceives certain matters. The research was done by analysing netizen comments on posts regarding the pandemic regulation in Bali from August to November 2021 in a popular Instagram local news account Infodenpasar. The research employs the theory of speech act to describe the illocutionary force of netizen utterances to express particular sentiments and the systemic functional theory about experiential metafunction to explore the construal of participants and actions in the discourse. The finding shows that the most dominant speech act is conflictive, which expresses disbelief, complaint, and skepticism. In addition, the events in the clauses are constructed with various processes and participant types, especially relational process
Etnomatematika Pada Penentuan Hari Baik dalam Tradisi Membangun Rumah Jawa

Published: November 2023

Ethnomathematics is an intersection between culture and mathematics. The tradition of building a Javanese house has mathematical and cultural values that are very deep, such as determining good days and cultural procedures so that it becomes an interesting thing to study further. The purpose of this study is to determine the form of ethnomathematics in determining good days in the tradition of building a Javanese house and to find out the process of implementing the construction of a Javanese house. This research is an effort to present one form of local wisdom of the Javanese community which has a philosophical meaning behind Javanese ethnomathematics (petungan) carried out in the tradition of building a house. The form of this research is descriptive qualitative using an ethnographic approach. The research location is in Purworejo Regency, Central Java province. Data collection using direct observation techniques and direct interviews with research sources who know and understand more deeply about the tradition of building a Javanese house. The results showed that the form of ethnomathematics in the tradition of building Javanese houses is in the form of counting, measuring, and predicting activities. Then philosophically, the cultural value that emerges is that the tradition of building a house is an attempt to unite (Jw: nyawijikake) between the house and the person who built the house. That is, the house is considered to have a soul like a human being so that when it can be in harmony with the house, the occupants of the house will always feel peaceful and comfortable.

Each faith has its own belief in the process of human creation, and this research will discuss the concept of the creation of the first human in Ronggowarsito's view by reviewing a few stories written in the Paramayoga fiber.  This research aims to show the practice of the concept of human creation with the concept of Wihdatu-l-wujud or Manunggaling Kawulo Gusti and to review the concept of the creation of the first human from the perspective of the Javanese poet Rg. Ronggowarsito.  The method used in this library research is qualitative analytical descriptive using a text approach model as well as a philosophical and historical approach.  From this research it can be concluded that Ronggowarsito concluded that humans were created with seven dignities which at the end point are a manifestation of God and his servants and this is what is called the Manunggaling Kawulo Gusti concept. In the Paramayoga fiber, it is told about Adam as the first human with many very strong syncretic manifestations between Javanese, Hindu and Islamic traditions. From this mixing, a practice emerged from the concept of human creation in Ronggowarsito's view.

Representasi Amangkurat I dalam Babad Tanah Jawi Terjemahan W. L. Olthof dan Novel Amangkurat Karya Ardian Kresna
Authors: Sujarwo Joko , Aini Nur Fatul , Susanto Dwi
Published: November 2023

There is a difference in the depiction of Amangkurat I in the Babad Tanah Jawi (2008) and the novel Amangkurat (2012). The discussion on the figure of Amangkurat I, specifically in recent studies, has not been widely discussed. The purpose of this study is to determine the representation of the figure of Amangkurat I in both works. This research includes a qualitative-descriptive study. The data used are in the form of text content in both literary works, the author's background, discourse on character representation, and sociology of literature. Interpretation of data is carried out in accordance with the workings of the theory of sociology of literature. The results of the research show that there is a more positive impression of the image of Amangkurat I, when compared to the novel, which appears in the babad story. This impression appeared in several events, namely the early period after the coronation, the construction of the Plered palace, the death of the Mataram tumenggung, the death of the Queen of Malang, the gift of bekisar by Prince Pekik, and the escape to Betawi. Such a narrative in the Babad Tanah Jawi can be assumed as an effort to legitimize the authorities. Then, the different depictions that appear in Amangkurat's novel show the author's partiality towards Dutch records against the story in Babad Tanah Jawi. Thus, the presence of the novel Amangkurat can be interpreted as a reaction or response by Ardian Kresna to the story in the Babad Tanah Jawi.

Published: November 2023

The kinetics of photocatalytic decomposition of dye (Orange II) in the presence of titanium (IV) dioxide was studied. A presented kinetic model takes into account the active forms of particles involved in the process of photocatalytic oxidation. By adding various scavengers, it was found that superoxide radicals (O2•-) play the most significant role in dye photodegradation. Tert-butanol (t-BuOH), ammonium oxalate (OA), sodium azide (NaN3), 4-hydroxy-TEMPO (TEMPOL) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were used as scavengers with a final concentration of 10 mM of hydroxide radicals (•OH), holes (h+), singlet oxygen (1O2), superoxide radicals (O2•-) and electrons (e-) in 40 ml of Orange II solution. The proposed kinetic model includes the following stages: photogeneration of particles, formation of superoxide radicals and their interaction with organic dye, products and inactive surfaces. Studies were conducted to determine the kinetic parameters of the reaction, particularly the order of Orange II photodegradation, showed that the reaction follows a pseudo-first-order kinetics, which is consistent with the proposed kinetic model. The resulting linear dependence of ln(C0/C) with time shows that the photodecomposition reaction of Orange II is a pseudo-first order reaction, the rate constant of which is (35.1 ± 1.3).10-3 min-1.

Published: November 2023

When assessing the condition of Lasius niger (Linnaeus, 1858) nest complexes, plant communities should be considered. The aim of this work is to analyse ecological characteristics and structure of L. niger nest complexes using vegetation data. The study was conducted in Ukraine, in June 2017 (a nest complex on a territory near Vyshneve, Kyiv Oblast, 502 nest mounds) and in June 2022 (Chaika, Kyiv Oblast, 72 nest mounds, Stara Ushytsia, Khmelnytskyi Oblast, 134 nest mounds). Morphometric parametres of the mounds (diameter, height), their relative position and size classes in squares of 100 m2 were studied. At the same time, vegetation plots were carried out. Differences in the structure of L. niger nest mounds discussed previously are at least partly result from differences in the ecological conditions of the localities. Of the six ecological indicators (Hd — Tm), three — soil acidity and nitrogen, and the hemeroby indicator, which assesses the degree of anthropogenic pollution — have a significant influence on the abundance of L. niger nest mounds. These factors were shown to have a significant influence on the ant colony volume indicator. For most indicators, except moisture and light, the optimum for L. niger was close to 50 points (middle of the scale). For the anthropogenic factor, the range of values was the widest, which indirectly confirms the relative tolerance of this species to the anthropogenic influence of moderate intensity and allows its existence in urban conditions where competitive pressure from other species is lower. The sign of regression coefficient, especially the positive sign for the acidity and nitrogen indicators, demonstrates positive effect of these factors on the ant colony structure indicators.

The study used GIS software and climate projections to assess the distribution potential of the citrus planthopper Metcalfa pruinosa (Say, 1830) in Ukraine, taking into account global climate change. The model showed that climatic conditions in Ukraine meet the requirements of the species in the European part of its range, considering various indicators such as the sum of active temperatures, mean annual temperature and precipitation. The whole territory of Ukraine could potentially be a range for M. pruinosa due to suitable climatic conditions and the presence of host plants, with Zakarpattia, Crimea and the forest and woodland and steppe zones of Ukraine being the most favourable. Current phytosanitary measures are not sufficient to prevent its spread and a pest management system is needed to reduce the damage. The parasitoid Neodryinus typhlocybae (Ashmead, 1893) (Hymenoptera, Dryinidae) from North America could serve as a classical biological control agent, and suitable areas in southern Ukraine have been identified using GIS modelling. To manage the risk effectively, it is recommended that M. pruinosa be added to the list of regulated, non-quarantined pests in Ukraine.

Published: November 2023

Ischemic heart disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the US, affecting both men and women significantly. The presentation of chest pain is largely similar in female and male patients, but additional non-chest pain symptoms can confound timely diagnosis in women. Management, diagnostic evaluation, and clinical outcomes for patients admitted with chest pain differ significantly between men and women, and understanding of these discrepancies is limited. The objective of this review is to familiarize readers with gender- and sex-specific differences in the presentation, diagnosis, and management of chest pain.
Distance Education: Online Proctoring as a Tool for Assessing Learning Outcomes
Authors: Antonova N. L. , Abramova S. B.
Published: November 2023

The educational organizations’ urgent transition to distance learning because of the pandemic has actualized the problems of assessing the results of mastering the disciplines. Online proctoring is becoming one of the leading tools for control, providing an objective independent assessment of compliance with academic ethics. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze students’ attitude towards distance learning and their ideas on the opportunities, disadvantages, and prospects of online proctoring. The pilot study conducted in the spring of 2021 was empirically based on the results of online questionnaires answered by 200 undergraduate students of various scientific specialties and humanities at Ural Federal University (1–4 years). We also used the method of semi-structured interviews with 10 students who had had an experience of a final test using online proctoring systems. The data obtained show that the main difficulties faced by students within the distance learning process are the lack of direct contact with the teacher, enormous bulks of information to be learnt independently, the increased health burden, and technical failures. Despite the emerging barriers, the young have successfully mastered the educational platforms (MS Teams, Zoom, Google Meet) and practised in passing remote credits and exams. Online proctoring narrows the chances of informal passing final exams, however forming and developing risk-taking and inventiveness among students. This can be explained both by low demand for mastering general education disciplines and by poor design of test assignments. Technical failures within testing are another problem of proctoring. For distance education, online proctoring seems a promising and in-demand tool for students to assess the results of their learning in professional disciplines. The lack of external control becomes a factor of academic dishonesty practices multiplication. The results of the study contribute to the further development of distance learning and online assessment of the quality of students’ mastering the completed disciplines.
Pricing in Russian Universities: How Do Competing Universities Infl uence Tuition Fees?
Authors: Dmitrienko A. S. , Myachin A. L.
Published: November 2023

The paper analyzes the pricing strategies of Russian state universities in the context of the competitors’ influence over the tuition-paying education market. The aim of the study is to find out how competition in local higher education markets affects the pricing strategies of Russian state universities. The empirical basis of the study is formed by the data of the Monitoring of Enrollment Quality at Russian Universities implemented by National Research University Higher School of Economics. With the help of pattern analysis methods (order-fixed and order-invariant pattern clustering), homogeneous groups of universities are identified taking into account indicators, which characterize the scale and quality of admission to bachelor and specialist programs. On the example of technical programs, the authors demonstrate the regression model for predicting the 2011–2019 education prices in universities of corresponding homogeneous groups. The results show that each homogeneous group of universities has one or several market leaders who serve as benchmarks for other universities in that group when setting tuition fees. At the same time, university pricing strategies involve orienting towards market leaders in their demand segments and specialty groups. The identified features confirm that competition among universities for students and funding leads to the appearance of market leaders in certain market niches. In some groups of universities, there are clear market leaders at the local and regional levels who have a significant lead over competitors due to the peculiarities of state policy and high heterogeneity of the Russian educational landscape.
