OBJECTIVE

Long-term follow-up is often recommended for patients with hydrocephalus, but the frequency of clinical follow-up, timing and modality of imaging, and duration of surveillance have not been clearly defined. Here, the authors used the modified Delphi method to identify areas of consensus regarding the modality, frequency, and duration of hydrocephalus surveillance following surgical treatment.

METHODS

Pediatric neurosurgeons serving as institutional liaisons to the Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network (HCRN), or its implementation/quality improvement arm (HCRNq), were invited to participate in this modified Delphi study. Thirty-seven consensus statements were generated and distributed via an anonymous electronic survey, with responses structured as a 4-point Likert scale (strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree). A subsequent, virtual meeting offered the opportunity for open discussion and modification of the statements in an effort to reach consensus (defined as ≥ 80% agreement or disagreement).

RESULTS

Nineteen pediatric neurosurgeons participated in the first round, after which 15 statements reached consensus. During the second round, 14 participants met virtually for review and discussion. Some statements were modified and 2 statements were combined, resulting in a total of 36 statements. At the conclusion of the session, consensus was achieved for 17 statements regarding the following: 1) the role of standardization; 2) preferred imaging modalities; 3) postoperative follow-up after shunt surgery (subdivided into immediate postoperative imaging, delayed postoperative imaging, routine clinical surveillance, and routine radiological surveillance); and 4) postoperative follow-up after an endoscopic third ventriculostomy. Consensus could not be achieved for 19 statements.

CONCLUSIONS

Using the modified Delphi method, 17 consensus statements were developed with respect to both clinical and radiological follow-up after a shunt or endoscopic third ventriculostomy. The frequency, modality, and duration of surveillance were addressed, highlighting areas in which no clear data exist to guide clinical practice. Although further studies are needed to evaluate the clinical utility and cost-effectiveness of hydrocephalus surveillance, the current study provides a framework to guide future efforts to develop standardized clinical protocols for the postoperative surveillance of patients with hydrocephalus. Ultimately, the standardization of hydrocephalus surveillance has the potential to improve patient care as well as optimize the use of healthcare resources.

Introduction: Biosurfactants are made up of naturally occurring molecules such as lipopeptide, glycoprotein, lipoprotein, and fatty acids. Using biosurfactants rather than chemical and synthetic surfactants is safer. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate biosurfactant properties and antibiotic resistance of soil bacteria, Bacillus salmalaya strain 139SI. Bacillus salmalaya produces biosurfactants, which capable of reducing surface tension of certain media, as they are surface-active molecules. Methods: In current study Parafilm M Test, Drop Collapse, Oil spreading methods for biosurfactants screening were used and antibiotic analysis was done using an aseptic technique. Results: 600μl biosurfactant (460 mg/ml) was the most effective volume to produce large diameter of oil spreading zone when 700 μl of oil was used. 0.23g freeze-dried supernatant powder mixed with 0.5 ml distilled water (460 mg/ml) produced larger clearing zone than powder mixed with 1 ml (230 mg/ml) and 1.5 ml distilled water (153 mg/ml). In cleaning activity of crude oil container, biosurfactant was able to clean oil in the container and this can be applied in cleaning oil waste from crude oil tank and can also be used to clean oil spillage. In antibiotic analysis study, ten soil bacteria isolates included Bacillus salmalaya were selected. Conclusion: All isolates had shown different sensitivity towards different antibiotics. Bacillus salmalaya showed sensitivity to almost all selected antibiotic compared to other isolates. This indicated that this strain is safe to be used as it was sensitive to many antibiotics.

Authors: Preethy Saroja , Anbuselvi
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Pleurotus citrinopileatus is a mushroom with n-number of biomolecules expressing both nutraceutical and pharmaceutical qualities. In recent years, there are many medicinal properties of the mushroom brought to light, be it the biomolecules that inhibits fat-induced weight gain; cancer treatments for hepatoma, colon or HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitory activity by novel lectins present in it. Objective: The present study is to find the degree of cell damage in HepG2 cancer cell lines caused by the extracts of Pleurotus citrinopileatus. Method: Herein, we are going to compare the level of cell damage caused by acetone, ethanol and aqueous extracts of Pleurotus citrinopileatus using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay. Result: Acetone extracts of the mushroom showed higher cell damage in HepG2 cell line, indicated by MTT assay with the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 37.03µg/ml, compared to the ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Pleurotus citrinopileatus. Conclusion: The acetone extract appears to possess biologically active compounds that might help reduce the viable cancer cells. If used as an adjuvant drug with cisplatin can reduce the effects caused by it and activate P53 action. Novelty: Further study on the biomolecules present in oyster mushrooms can give us an insight into the apoptotic behavior of cancer cells.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: The goal of prenatal care is to improve maternal and fetal outcomes and identify and manage high-risk patients early. Antenatal surveillance, lifestyle change, nutritional supplements, and pharmaceutical therapy are current strategies for preventing pre-eclampsia, which is the precursor to eclampsia. Aim: To determine the prevalence of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia in unbooked pregnant women. Methodology: The study included 295 unbooked primigravida and multigravida women. Participants with any other confirmed medical conditions, such as persistent hypertension, diabetes, thyroid abnormalities, or known renal illness, were excluded from the study. Complete blood count, liver function tests, renal function tests, coagulation profile, and 24-hour urine for protein were all done on the study population. All of the patients were treated according to the department’s standard procedure. Proteinuria was detected using a urine dipstick, a detailed urine report, or a 24-hour urinary protein test. Pre-eclampsia was identified with blood pressure monitoring. Study design: A cross-sectional study. Place and Duration: This study was conducted at Sohail Trust Hospital Karachi, Pakistan from November 2020 to November 2021. Results: The majority of the patients, 135 (45.76 %), were between 31 to 40 years of age. The average gestational age was 25.14± 4.67 weeks. The average gravidity was 3.56 ± 5.65. The average parity was 2.34± 0.67. The average height was 158.67 cm, with a margin of error of 15.67 cm. The average weight was 70.6±6.65 kilograms. The average BMI was 30.76 kg/m2. Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia were found in 40 (13.55 %) and 25 (8.4 %) in unbooked pregnant women respectively. Conclusion: According to this study, pre-eclampsia and eclampsia are much more common in unbooked pregnant women. So, to improve the fetomaternal outcome, we recommend that national awareness programs be established in which pregnant women are encouraged and emphasized for early antenatal care, accurate dating, and early detection of maternal disorders that can threaten pregnancy and its outcome.

Program-target approach effectiveness problems in the strategic management of Russian economy
Authors: Elena Volkova
Published: June 2022

The article provides an overview of the main methods for assessing the effectiveness of the program-target approach used in the Russian Federation. Strategic management is currently ineffective, because established national goals are not achieved within the specified time frame. This is due both to the shortcomings of the implementation of the program-target approach in the Russian Federation, and to the problems of using evaluation tools. As part of the study, a structural analysis of the planned expenditures of the federal budget of the Russian Federation for 2022-2024 has been carried out, the share of program and non-program budget expenses was determined, as well as the share of the project and process part of the expenses It is concluded that most of the current budget expenditures in the Russian Federation are financed within the framework of the program-target approach while the requirements of the program-target approach are not met by most state programs. The presence of various types of expenditures in the state programs of the Russian Federation leads to difficulties in assessing their effectiveness. Based on the results of the study, recommendations are proposed for improving the methodology for evaluating state programs.
The distribution of primary income between labour and capital: new trends in the world economy
Authors: Klavdienko Victor
Published: June 2022

This paper examines changes in the structure of GDP by types of primary income in many countries of the world with different levels of technical, economic and social development over a long period. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the dynamics of the share of wages in GDP. It is shown that the widespread idea about the long-term stability of this share is no more realistic. A steady trend towards a decrease in the share of wages in favour of an increase in the share of profits in GDP is observed both in the economically advanced and in many developing countries. The trend has been noticeable in recent decades in the context of digitalization, robotization, and the introduction of lights-out production. The author scrutinizes the ways by which automation and digitalization of the economy influence the shift in the structure of GDP by types of primary income which decreases the share of employees’ earnings, and increases the capital owners’ share of income.
„Da war ich erstmal ganz schön perplex“ – Zur Entwicklung differenzversierter Unterrichtskulturen im Fach Kunst
Authors: Kaiser Michaela
Published: June 2022

Vergleicht man die Kunstdidaktik mit anderen Fachdidaktiken, ist eine vergleichsweise zähe Transformation inklusiver Wissensbestände in die Unterrichtspraxis zu verzeichnen. Das Projekt ‚(Re)Konstruktion kunstunterrichtlicher Leitbilder‘ zielt deshalb u. a. darauf, einen inklusiven Kunstunterricht auf Basis konstruktivistischen und ko-konstruktivistischen Lernens vor dem Hintergrund didaktischer Rekonstruktionen zu etablieren. Im Begleitforschungsprojekt werden die hier anschließenden Professionalisierungsprozesse von Kunstlehrkräften mittels einer Verbindung von Grounded Theory und dokumentarisch-gesprächsanalytischem Vorgehen auf der Folie der Kontingenzwahrnehmung untersucht, wobei der Analysefokus der hier präsentierten Ergebnisse auf der Rekonstruktion handlungsleitender Orientierungen mittels dokumentarischgesprächsanalytischem Zugang liegt. Im Beitrag wird ein Modell zur Kontingenzwahrnehmung herausgearbeitet, das auf zwei Pfeilern beruht: der Irritation und der Reflexion. Damit liefern die Ergebnisse Hinweise für die Professionalisierung von Kunstlehrkräften für einen an Diversität und Differenz orientierten Kunstunterricht.
Das schulische Üben mit digitalen Medien – und was das für den Unterricht bedeutet
Authors: Mayer Benjamin , Jornitz Sieglinde
Published: June 2022

Unterrichtsentwicklung ist ein bedeutsamer Teil von Schulentwicklung und findet aktuell in großem Maße durch die zunehmende Digitalisierung von Schulen statt. Dabei wird einerseits systematisch eine Infrastruktur aufgebaut, aber andererseits die konkrete Umsetzung den einzelnen Schulen mehr oder weniger überlassen. Bisher gibt es wenige Arbeiten, die sich mit den sich verändernden Unterrichtsstrukturen beim Einsatz digitaler Medien selbst auseinandersetzen. Der Beitrag geht dieser Frage mit dem Fokus auf das Üben im Unterricht nach: Wie gestaltet sich das Üben, wenn es über digitale Medien erfolgt? Anhand von Unterrichtsprotokollen aus einem Mathematikunterricht der 6. Klasse wird rekonstruktionslogisch analysiert, inwieweit die Feedbacksysteme den Schüler*innen bei der Bearbeitung der Aufgaben helfen bzw. wie sie mit den automatisierten Antworten umgehen. Es wird abschließend diskutiert, inwieweit diese Prozesse Auswirkungen auf die Theorie von Unterrichten haben könnten.
Konstruktion und Aushandlung von Wissen in der Unterrichtsentwicklung. Kritische Perspektiven auf Verhältnissetzungen von Wissenschaft und Schulpraxis
Authors: Herfter Christian
Published: June 2022

Unterrichtsentwicklung ist per definitionem keine bloße Aktualisierung bestehender Praxis, sondern beinhaltet immer normative Ansprüche, Ziele und Gelingenserwartungen an Veränderung und Erneuerung. Eine wesentliche Frage ist dann, auf welche Weise die Notwendigkeiten und Zielrichtungen einer Entwicklung bestimmt werden und welche Rolle dabei die Forschung im Verhältnis zur Praxis einnimmt. Im Beitrag wird zunächst die grundlegende Verwobenheit der Entwicklungsforschung mit einem präskriptiven Optimierungs-, Effizienz- und Einheitsdenken skizziert. Anschließend werden verschiedene Ansätze der Unterrichtsentwicklung im deutschsprachigen Raum (empirische Bildungsforschung, didaktische Entwicklungsforschung, Design-Based Research, Lesson Study) dargestellt. Leitend ist dabei die Frage, wie diese Ansätze wissenschaftliches und schulpraktisches Wissen (nicht) mit Autorität ausstatten und zueinander ins Verhältnis setzen. Von dieser analytischen Perspektive auf bestehende Ansätze und deren Normativität ausgehend, wird aufgezeigt, dass diese von den Lehrpersonen Entwicklung fordern, ihre eigenen Konzepte und Verfahren jedoch tendenziell hypostasieren. Aufbauend auf dieser Kritik werden diskursive Verhältnissetzungen und Autorisierungspraktiken eines eigenen Projektes kollegialer Unterrichtsentwicklung vorgestellt. Dabei wird auf die Übergänge in Begriffen, Perspektiven und Adressierungen im Sprechen über Unterricht fokussiert.
Wie war das damals? – Gespräche mit Zeitzeug*innen im Kontext des frühen historischen Lernens
Authors: Peuke Julia , Pech Detlef , Urban Jara
Published: June 2022

Gesprächen mit Zeitzeug*innen wird für das frühe historische Lernen ein besonderes didaktisches Potenzial zugesprochen. Empirische Studien zeigen auf, dass Grundschulkinder ihr Wissen über Zeitgeschichte vor allem aus familiären Gesprächen mit Zeitzeug*innen ziehen und ihnen Gespräche mit Zeitzeug*innen durchaus zuzutrauen sind. Wie genau diese Gespräche ausgestaltet werden, ist bislang empirisch jedoch nicht näher betrachtet worden. Die hier vorgestellte Studie fokussiert auf Zeitzeug*innengespräche zwischen Grundschulkindern und Menschen aus der ehemaligen DDR und untersucht, was die Zeitzeug*innen den Kindern mitgeben möchten und wie diese intergenerationalen Kommunikationssituationen konkret ausgestaltet werden.

Background: Lipid biomarkers have potential neuroprotective effects in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and there is limited evidence in the field. Objective: This study aims to investigate the association between comprehensive blood lipid biomarkers and PD. Methods: A total of 205 PD patients and 102 non-PD subjects were included from Early Parkinson’s disease Longitudinal Singapore (PALS) cohort. We investigated 6 serum lipid biomarkers including total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and apolipoprotein B (Apo B). PD patients were further classified into mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and normal cognition (NC) subgroups. We conducted a cross-sectionals study to examine the association between lipids and PD and further explored the relationship between lipids and PD-MCI. Results: PD patients had significantly lower level of lipid panel including TC, TG, HDL-C, Apo A1, LDL-C, and Apo B (all p < 0.05). TC, TG, Apo A1, and Apo B levels were independent protective factors (p < 0.05) for PD in the logistic regression model. PD-MCI group had significantly higher mean TC, TG, and Apo A1 levels compared to PD-NC group. Higher TC, TG, and Apo A1 levels were independent risk factors (p < 0.05) for PD-MCI. Conclusion: We demonstrated that PD patients had significantly lower levels of lipid biomarkers while PD-MCI patients had higher levels of TC, TG, and Apo A1. TC, TG, and Apo A1 may be useful biomarkers for PD-MCI.
Infections and Changes in Commensal Bacteria and the Pathogenesis of Parkinson’s Disease
Authors: Shannon Kathleen M.
Published: June 2022

The cause of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is unknown, but environmental factors are purported to influence risk. Interest in PD as a sequel of infection dates back to reports of parkinsonism arising from encephalitis lethargica. The objective of this paper is to review the literature as it relates to infections and changes in microbiome and the genesis of PD. There is evidence to support prior infection with Helicobacter pylori, hepatitis C virus, Malassezia, and Strep pneumonia in association with PD. A large number of studies support an association between changes in commensal bacteria, especially gut bacteria, and PD. Extant literature supports a role for some infections and changes in commensal bacteria in the genesis of PD. Studies support an inflammatory mechanism for this association, but additional research is required for translation of these findings to therapeutic options.
Use of video self-modelling to teach combined vocational and social skills to an adult with autism spectrum disorder
Authors: Parsons Nicholas , D’Aprano Fiore , Parish Annie , Hughes Matthew E. , Outsikas Athanasia
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: Autistic adults have difficulty in learning vocational and social skills, which often translates into low employment rates. Video self-modelling (VSM) is an effective educational technique for high-support-needs autistic adults, with the ability to teach challenging vocational skills as well as basic social skills. OBJECTIVE: The present study examined the use of video self-modelling to teach vocational and social skills to a 22-year-old autistic adult. Target behaviours categories included (1) reading order forms, (2) transporting goods, and (3) engaging with customers. METHODS: A multiple baseline design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the videos in teaching these target behaviours. The dependent variables were the percentage of tasks completed correctly, and quantitative prompt dependency, using a least-to-most prompting strategy. RESULTS: Results showed that VSM modestly improved reading order forms and transporting goods, and moderately improved engagement with customers. CONCLUSION: This intervention resulted in the successful employment of an autistic adult in a job that he desired, whilst teaching him skills he specifically struggled with. As such, VSM should be considered for others wanting to learn combined social and vocational skills.

METHODS: In the proposed work, Faster RCNN, YOLO and SSD are used to detect helmets. OUTCOME: The survey says MobileNets has higher accuracy when compared to VGG16, VGG19 and Inception V3 and is therefore chosen to be used with SSD. The impact of the differences in the amount of training of each algorithm is highlighted which helps understand the advantages and disadvantages of each algorithm and deduce the most suitable.
Optimization driven deep belief network using chronological monarch butterfly optimization for iris recognition at-a-distance
Authors: Shirke Swati D. , Raja Bhushnam C.
Published: June 2022

Identification of eye considering biometric traits is an essential field to recognize persons. Biometrics using iris images seems to be an effective identification of individuals. Various Iris Recognition at-Distance (IAAD) systems are used for extracting features of iris and improve image quality using the biometric model. Even though the quality of the iris is better, accuracy is a challenging question for the research community. Thus, an effective IAAD, namely Chronological Monarch Butterfly Optimization-Deep Belief Network (Chronological MBO-DBN) is devised to detect iris. The detection of iris using DBN is trained with Chronological MBO, which is the integration of Chronological theory and Monarch Butterfly Optimization (MBO). The features of iris are extracted with ScatT-Loop descriptor and Local Gradient Pattern (LGP) and subjected to Chronological MBO-DBN for the recognition of iris which improved accuracy. The implementation of proposed Chronological MBO-based DBN is performed using the dataset, CASIA Iris, and efficiency is evaluated by the accuracy of 96.078%, False Rejection Rate (FRR) of 0.4745% False Acceptance Rate (FAR) of 0.4847%, and F-Measure of 98.658%.
Evaluation and research on the logistics efficiency of agricultural products with intuitionistic fuzzy information
Authors: Liu Qing
Published: June 2022

With respect to intuitionistic fuzzy multiple attribute decision making problems with completely unknown weight information, some operational laws of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, score function and accuracy function of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are introduced. To determine the attribute weights, a model based on the information entropy, by which the attribute weights can be determined, is established. We utilize the intuitionistic fuzzy Hamacher weighted averaging (IFHWA) operator to fuse the intuitionistic fuzzy information corresponding to each alternative, and then rank the alternatives and select the most desirable one(s) according to the score function and accuracy function. Finally, an illustrative example for evaluating the logistics efficiency of agricultural products is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.

The automatic recognition and classification of Alzheimer disease utilizing magnetic resonance imaging is a hard task, due to the complexity and variability of the size, location, texture and shape of the lesions. The objective of this study is to propose a proper feature dimensional reduction and classification approach to improve the performance of Alzheimer disease recognition and classification. At first, the input brain images were acquired from Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS) and National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS) databases. Then, the image pre-processing and feature extraction were attained by applying Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) approach to denoise and extract the feature vectors from the images. In addition, Probabilistic Principal Component Analysis (PPCA) was used to diminish the extracted features dimension that effectively lessen the “curse of dimensionality” concern. At last, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) classifier was employed to classify the brain images as Alzheimer disease, normal, and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). From the simulation outcome, the proposed system attained better performance compared to the existing systems and showed 3–11% improvement in recognition accuracy.

BACKGROUND: The assessment of work capacity, workable work and the need for a common language is challenging in labour market policy. Being a specific instrument to facilitate Return To Work (RTW), the Integration von Menschen mit Behinderungen in die Arbeitswelt (IMBA) might facilitate the documentation of the individual’s work capacity, the job-related workload and the match between these two elements. Since the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is worldwide recognized as frame of reference in RTW, this paper presents the linking of IMBA to the ICF, since this is assumed to be beneficial to support RTW. OBJECTIVE: The establishment of the IMBA-ICF linking in order to study 1) the relationship between IMBA and ICF; 2) the content comparison of IMBA with work-related ICF core sets; and 3) the extent to which the linking addresses the challenges in RTW policy. METHODS: A content comparison of IMBA and ICF was conducted, using a 7- step linking methodology in which the Delphi and Nominal Group Technique are integrated in the implementation of the ICF linking rules. An explorative conversion of the scoring systems of IMBA and ICF was established based on expert opinions. RESULTS: In the main 70 IMBA items, 107 concepts have been identified of which 94 were linked to 87 different ICF categories. Body functions and activities and participation are the most presented ICF components in contrast to the environmental factors. IMBA items regarding occupational safety and work organization are respectively ‘not covered’ and ‘not defined’ in ICF. CONCLUSIONS: An integration of IMBA and ICF addresses the challenges in RTW policy in the assessment of work capacity, workable work and the need for a common language. In order to do so, extension of ICF terminology regarding ‘occupational safety’ and ‘work organization’ is priority. In depth quantitative research is necessary to support the conversion of both scoring systems.

Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: Drivers’ drowsiness is a significant issue globally known as a contributing factor to crashes in various transportation operations. Although there is evidence that suburban bus drivers experience drowsy driving, most previous studies are quantitative, which means that drivers experiencing drowsiness have not had the opportunity to explain their direct views and thoughts. OBJECTIVES: This qualitative exploratory study subjectively investigates the contextual factors influencing fatigue among suburban bus drivers. METHODS: Collecting data was conducted through 14 in-depth interviews with suburban bus drivers working in Tehran province’s transportation system, Iran. The interview recording was transcribed by the research team and entered into the qualitative data analysis software. Two independent coders with qualitative content analysis and thematic analysis approach analyzed transcripts. RESULTS: Four themes emerged, including human factors (with categories of individual characteristic and lifestyle), vehicle factors (with categories of design and performance), job factors (with categories of task requirement, quantity and quality of sleep, and circadian rhythm,) and environmental factors (with categories of the physical and economic environment). We found a more significant number of codes and categories and thus more contextual factors associated with job factors. The participants emphasized the importance of sleep deprivation, long driving hours, and even time of the day as factors influencing fatigue. CONCLUSIONS: The study results can provide beneficial information for both ergonomists and car manufacturers in developing more accurate fatigue detection models and effective educational and technical interventions to maintain road user’s health and reduce road accidents and mortality rates due to drowsiness.
Future competencies in human-machine interaction: An interdisciplinary approach for the anticipation of strategically relevant competencies in the field of automotive human-machine interaction
Authors: Karwehl Laura Johanna , Kauffeld Simone
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: Digitalization and technological progress lead to an increasingly fast development of promising fields for action and new technologies whereas the time required to qualify employees for new activities and work content has remained largely the same. Organizations have to establish anticipative competence measures to secure their competitiveness. OBJECTIVES: Those developments suggest that a new approach to develop human resource development strategies is required. METHODS: This article describes the results of a competence survey that was developed in an interdisciplinary approach between organizational psychology and futurology and conducted in the field of automotive Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) research. The content of the questionnaire is based on a series of expert interviews focusing and a data-driven approach that scanned significant patents for competence demand data. RESULTS: The conducted ANOVAs show that both sources for data retrieval create relevant items even though experts from the conceptual field rate data-based items significantly less relevant than the other participants. Moreover, interview-based items lead to significantly more relevant ratings in methodological fields while data-driven items were rated significantly more relevant for the technological area. CONCLUSIONS: Even though there are some uncertainties to examine, the displayed approach seems promising for the derivation of more detailed and enriched future competency demands in technological fields.

PARQUETS OF RHOMBUSES FORMING A REGULAR FIVE-POINTED STAR AND RHOMBUSES SUPPLEMENTING IT TO A REGULAR DECAGON
Authors: Nitsyn Alexander
Published: June 2022

Despite the fact that it is impossible to fill a plane with regular pentagons without overlaps and gaps, the problem of tiling a plane with regular pentagons continues to occupy the minds of not only geometers, but also designers who create new types of ornaments. This is due to the fact that a regular pentagon is a figure that has the highest aesthetic qualities of all regular polygons. Therefore, the working out of ways to fill the plane with regular pentagons is an actual challenge for both geometers and designers.

One of the solutions to this problem can be tiling the plane with regular pentagons, in which the inevitable overlaps and gaps do not destroy the composition of the ornament, but, on the contrary, become its intrinsic part. For example, if a regular pentagon is transformed into a regular five-pointed star made up of five rhombuses with angles 72° and 108° and supplemented with five rhombuses with angles 36° and 144° to form a regular decagon, then overlapping will be rhombuses with angles 36° and 144°, and by gaps - rhombuses with angles 72° and 108°.

The purpose of the study is to work out new, previously unexplored ways of tiling a plane with rhombuses that make up a regular five-pointed star, and rhombuses that supplement it to a regular decagon. Moreover, the results obtained by us do not repeat the work carried out by other researchers, for example by Roger Penrose, but supplement them with new types of ornament, including elements of a regular pentagon.

The classical variant of the plane tiling with rhombuses with angles 72° and 108° and rhombuses with angles 36° and 144° is considered and its connection with the mosaics designed by Roger Penrose is shown. Consequently, the parquet designed by Roger Penrose is not the only parquet that can be composed of rhombuses forming a regular five-pointed star and rhombuses supplementing it to a regular decagon. It is shown that there are only six ways to compose a regular decagon from rhombuses with angles 72° and 108° and rhombuses with angles 36° and 144°. Four previously unknown variants of the parquet that compose of rhombuses forming a regular five-pointed star and rhombuses that supplement it to a regular decagon are proposed. It is supposed that our further research will be directed towards the design of parquet composed of rhombuses that form five-pointed and ten-pointed stars.
