Numerous EEG studies have found that stimuli that require withholding a response (Nogo stimuli) elicit two scalp-recorded event-related potentials (ERPs), the frontal N2 and the frontocentral P3, that are larger than for stimuli that require a response (Go stimuli). The functional significance of these ERPs is not entirely clear, with some accounts focusing on inhibitory processes, and others focusing on a conflict monitoring explanation. Our understanding of the role of these components is further complicated by the presence of potential confounds in traditional Go/Nogo tasks. One important confound present in many studies is the lower frequency of Nogo stimuli relative to Go stimuli. Since the N2 and P3 are generally modulated by stimulus frequency and novelty, the Nogo enhancement could reflect an automatic mismatch process elicited by infrequent Nogo stimuli. A seminal study by Eimer (1993) involved matching the probability of Go/Nogo stimuli to test the contribution of stimulus frequency and manipulating spatial attention to test the explanation that an automatic stimulus mismatch process could be driving these differences. Such an explanation for the frontal N2 predicts that there should be no modulation of frontal N2 Go/Nogo effects by spatial attention. Results showed a larger N2 and P3 for Nogo than Go stimuli, indicating that stimulus frequency is not the determinant factor for these effects. Furthermore, N2 and P3 Go/Nogo effects were modulated by the attentional cue, suggesting that they are not the result of an automatic mismatch process. Subsequent research has also shown larger N2 and P3 amplitudes for Nogo stimuli when Go and Nogo stimuli are equiprobable, but the results have not been entirely consistent because of variability in the paradigms used. The purpose of the present study is to directly replicate the original study by Eimer (1993) and to test the robustness of the results to variations in the analysis pipelines. As part of the #EEGManyLabs project, 5 labs will independently replicate the original study, resulting in a multisite replication with high statistical power. Individual replications will also be integrated via a meta-analysis. Together, these studies will provide important information about the replicability of classic EEG findings and advance our understanding of the role of the frontal N2 and frontocentral P3 during inhibition tasks.

Validating survey-based estimates of adult mortality with high-quality vital statistics: Evidence from 27 cities
Authors: Feehan Dennis , Salganik Matthew
Published: January 2024

Wealthy countries have high-quality vital statistics about basic demographic events, such as births and deaths. Poor and middle income countries, however, often lack civil registration systems and therefore have vital statistics that are substantially less accurate or even entirely unknown. This lack of information complicates efforts to monitor, understand, and improve health for some of the world’s most vulnerable people. In this paper, we focus on survey-based methods for estimating a fundamental demographic quantity: annual adult death rates by age and sex. We offer the first-ever direct validation of two methods: the sibling method (the most widely used method) and the network method (a promising new alternative). We find that at moderate sample sizes (~1,000 people), the network method is 1) more accurate than the sibling method and 2) accurate enough to be useful for detecting large changes in mortality. These results can help us immediately improve measurement of adult mortality in poor and middle income countries and suggest additional ways that measurement of adult mortality can be improved.

The experiment was conducted in 2019 at the Teaching and Research Farm of Department of Crop Science and Horticulture, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Igbariam Anambra State. The aim was to establish the best planting date for cocoyam cultivars. The experiment consisted of three cultivars (Ede nkiti, Akili Nssuka and Ede oyibo) as main factor while planting dates (28th June, 28th July and 28th August, 2019) was sub factor. It was a 3 x 3 factorial combination laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Three cultivars of cocoyam and 3 planting dates (28th June, 28th July and 28th August, 2019) constituted (9) treatment combinations. Data were collected on number of leaves at maturity, plant height (cm), leaf area (cm2), stem girth, and number of corms. Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and significant mean were separated using Fisher’s Least Significant Difference. The highest number of leaves was recorded in the month of June which gave a mean number of leaves of 3.92, followed by July and August, which gave 3.24 and 3.00 respectively. So, number of leaves recorded for June showed that June was significantly different from the month of July and August. Plant height was highest in the month of June. The highest number of corms was recorded in the month of June as 26.2 followed by August then July, 18.0 and 17.8 respectively. The analysis of variance showed that the interaction between cocoyam cultivars and months of planting dates was not significant with regard to the number of corms of different cultivars of cocoyam.

Demographic and land size owned by households often impact the adoption of environmental conservation approaches in wetlands. Kimao dam is at risk of sedimentation, considering the steep topology and reduced vegetation cover. Contemporary attempts by stakeholders to restore water catchments are insufficient due to the low adoption rate of the environmental conservation measures. The study assessed factors that cause the low adoption rate of the environmental conservation practices among households within the Kimao catchment area in Kimalel location, Baringo County. The objectives of the study were to: (i) determine the effects of sociodemographic factors (age, gender, household number) on the adoption of environmental conservation practices, and (ii) establish the effects of land size owned by households on the adoption of environmental conservation practices. The ex-post-facto research design was used. A stratified proportional random sample of 225 households was surveyed using a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in a Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM SPSS version 26). The results showed that the level of adoption of environmental conservation practices was low (M=9.47, SD=4.7) on a scale of 1 to 22. The level of adoption of environmental conservation practices within the Kimao dam catchment area was found to be affected by age of the household head (β=.294, t=4.59, p=.001) and household number (β=0.147, t=2.22, p=0.027) but not gender (t=-0.648, df=223, p=0.518). The Land size (β=0.162, t-2.45, p=0.015), also affected the level of adoption of environmental conservation practices. Demographic factors act independently or synergistically with other factors to influence policy adoptions in water ecosystem management. Stakeholders need to provide sound scientific and feasible policies to collaboratively manage the Kimao dam. The findings of the study will influence policy development in implementing environmental conservation practices in Baringo County.

The study assessed the socio-economic factors influencing rural women’s involvement in informal economic activities (IEDS) in southwest, Nigeria. It describes the socio-economic characteristics of the rural women, identify the IEAs rural women involved in, determine the level of involvement of the rural women in IEAs and identity the constraints to the involvement of rural women in IEAs in the study area. A multi-stage sampling procedure was employed to select 120 respondents. Data were collected through structured interview schedule and same were subjected to descriptive statistics such as frequency counts, percentages, mean standard devaluation and rank while correlation and chi-square analyses were the inferential tools used. The results show that the mean age of the rural women involved in IEAs was 36.5 years. Majority (87.5%) were married while the mean household size was 5. Also 92.5% of the respondents had formal education and this indicates that the majority could read and write. The mean annual income of the rural women was N168.223.99. Some of the major IEAs which rural women involved in fully are: food fending (x̄=2.2), petty trading (x̄=2.00), hawking (x̄=1.9), sales of farm produce (x̄=1.6) and sales of fruits alone (x̄=1.5). The results of the correlation analysis show that age (r=0.209) and household size (r=0.1412) had significant relationship with the level of involvement of rural women in IEAs. Furthermore, the results of the chi-square (χ2) analysis show that religion (χ2=33.750), marital status (χ2=184.15), educational status (χ2=500.43), credit accessibility (χ2=92.951) and membership of social organization (χ2=249.61) had significant relationships with the level of involvement of rural women in IEAs. It was recommended that government should provide adequate fund in form of loans through cooperative or social organizations to the rural women to boost their IEAs.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Near miss cases are the ones who nearly died but survived a complication that occurred during pregnancy, childbirth, or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy. Near-miss is recognized as the predictor of the level of care and maternal deathand thereforea review of near-miss obstetric eventsis useful to investigate maternal mortality. The study was meant to determine the ratio and nature of near-miss obstetric cases and associated factors.Materials and Methods: This was a prospective observational study done in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at National Medical College and Teaching Hospital from 1st February 2022 to 31st January 2023. Ethical approval was obtained from IRC (Ref. F-NMC/537/077-078).The near-miss cases were identified among the admitted obstetric cases using the five-factor scoring system and followed till their discharge or death.The assessment of the causes of near-miss cases was done.Results: During the study period, 1163 live births, 33 near-miss cases, and5 maternal mortalities were recorded. The incidence of near-miss was 28.37 per 1000 live births, the mortality index was 13.16% and the near-miss to maternal mortality ratio was 6.6: 1. Haemorrhage (39.39%) was the most common event responsible for near-miss, followed by hypertensive disorders (24.24%). Similarly, cardiovascular (78.79%) was the most common organ dysfunction recorded, followed by hepatic (33.33%).Conclusion: Haemorrhage and hypertensive disorders are the major causes of near-miss events. Identification and evaluation of the factors of near-miss cases can reduce maternal morbidity and mortality, as special preventive actions for the management of its complications can be planned. It is also worth presenting near-miss cases in national indices.

Authors: Novytskyi Y. , Sabirov O. , Luskan O.
Published: January 2024

Nutrition is the most important component of human health. All vital functions of the body are closely related to nutrition. Now everyone talks about the dangers of overeating, but both excess nutrition and undernutrition are wrong. Both are equally harmful to people’s health. The problem of rational nutrition is very relevant these days. Improper diet is the first cause of diseases of the digestive system. The majority most of the population neglects their health. Lack of time, incompetence in matters of food culture, the pace of modern life - all this has led to indiscriminate choice of products. We are concerned about the growing popularity among students of fast-food products containing large quantities of various flavors, dyes, and modified components. Therefore, poor nutrition becomes a serious risk factor for the development of many diseases. Unfortunately, statistics in recent years show a sharp increase among young people in people suffering from obesity, diseases of the cardiovascular system, and diabetes. Such diseases can be prevented by leading a healthy lifestyle and, first, eating right. Modern science convincingly proves that by changing the nature and diet you can positively influence all systems and processes in the human body, increase your immunity, vital activity, influence many diseases, and slow down the aging process. Poor nutrition is the main source of many problems of modern man and short life expectancy. Thus, the purpose of the work is: to study the principles of rational nutrition of students, to study the degree of awareness of students about the need to adhere to the rules of rational nutrition in everyday life, to conduct a social study to study the characteristics of nutrition and eating behavior of students [2].

. The purpose of the work was to determine the reliability of the choice reaction test for monitoring the educational and training process of qualified football goalkeeper athletes. The following research methods were used: theoretical analysis and generalization of data from scientific and methodological literature and the Internet, medical and biological methods, pedagogical observation, methods of mathematical statistics. The corresponding calculations were carried out using the analysis package of the MS Excel computer program and the functions of the Statistica computer package. The study covered 11 goalkeepers in the Ukrainian Premier League. Complex reaction time was measured at the beginning of training sessions in ten attempts. The result was recorded with an accuracy of one millisecond.

It was found that the individual variation of the results of complex reaction time measurements was at an average level (V=3.8÷22.1%). A statistically significant difference (p<0.001) was found in the complex reaction time between athletes (from 281.4±31.8 ms to 391.9±14.9 ms). The relative contribution of the difference in complex reaction time between athletes (28.5%) to the total variation was significantly smaller than the corresponding contribution of the variation between attempts (71.5%). According to the value of the intraclass correlation coefficient (IСС =0.747), the reliability of the latent time test can be estimated as acceptable. The test can be used for an individual approach in assessing the condition of goalkeepers in football and the appropriate management of his game activity.

Published: January 2024

The use of mathematical modeling for various processes of improving the physical education of student youth is a promising, but at the same time insufficiently studied direction in solving current scientific and practical problems. Regression equations are widely used in mathematical modeling, the quality of which specialists recommend to determine by their selection and approximation of calculated values to actual indicators. The aim of the research is to develop a methodology for assessing the quality of corrections of students’ optimal body weight based on the formula of the mathematical model for men. Methods: theoretical analysis and generalization; pedagogical experiment; anthropometry; method of least squares; regression analysis. Material – considered the suitability of the men’s optimal body weight formula to obtain the optimal body weight of students with corrections for their constitution, age and height (n = 142). The results. The quality of corrections of student’s optimal body weight is determined, respectively, by reference points or reference formulas by coefficients of determination and average errors of approximation in percent. Conclusions. During calculating the optimal body weight of students, the quality of corrections that take into account their body constitution, age and height is determined by coefficients of determination and average approximation errors in percentages based on the sequential change of the components of the men’s optimal body weight. It was found that in the formula of men’s optimal body weight, the equation of linear regression, which determines the correction for the different constitution of students within the limits of wrist circumference 14.0÷23.0 cm, is selected as successfully as possible (D = 100%) and is characterized by an accuracy (Ā = 1.23E-05%) that practically does not differ from reference formula (Ā = 2.00E-03%). The men’s optimal body weight formula gives the same percentages for reference points with accuracy up to and including the fourth decimal place. It was established that the correction of the body weight of students aged 17÷26 according to the formula of men’s optimal body weight was performed with the most successful selection of the linear regression equation (D = 100%) and with accuracy (Ā = 1.27E-05%), which practically does not differ from the maximum (Ā = 0%). It was determined that the correction of body weight for students in the height range from 1.60 m to 2.00 m has the most successful selection (D = 100%) and accuracy (Ā = 1.37E-05%), which practically does not differ from the maximum (Ā = 0%).

It has been established that the official activity of police officers places increased demands on the level of special physical fitness of personnel. It has been established that a graduate of a higher education institution with specific learning conditions must possess not only a complex of knowledge, practical skills and abilities, but also a formed motivation and psychological readiness for the proper performance of official tasks in extreme situations caused by the introduction of martial law.

On the basis of a survey of inspectors on self-defense tactics and personal safety of training centers of the State Government of Ukraine (n=27), gaps in the physical fitness of law enforcement officers with up to one year of practical experience were determined, directions for improving the content of special physical training for cadets of higher education institutions with specific training conditions were considered during martial law, the role of general physical fitness of law enforcement officers is outlined. The need to develop a single thematic content of the educational discipline for all institutions of higher education that train police officers has been established; the introduction of practical tasks into the educational process, which involve modeling situations of official activity with the complex application of police coercive measures. Emphasis is placed on strengthening the role of general physical training through the cadet's performance of various physical exercises while in full equipment.

We see prospects for further research in the development of a set of exercises that will contribute to the development of professional and applied physical qualities of law enforcement officers.

Published: January 2024

The article highlights the peculiarities of the formation of managerial and leadership qualities in physical education classes in institutions of higher education. It has been established that the quality of acquiring organizational and managerial competences depends on the synergy of anthropological, natural, social and technological resources of the educational cluster. Modern methods in the segment of physical education transform the components of management experience: on the one hand - completing efforts to unify the management paradigm; on the other hand, it significantly increases the quantitative indicators of individual features of managerial activity.

The modern stage of the development of society is characterized by the fact that an adult devotes a significant part of his life to professional activities. The principle of the unity of consciousness, activity and personality confirms the fact that, on the one hand, professional activity contributes to the formation of professionally important personality qualities, and on the other hand, it carries a great potential for personal violations.

The sports-pedagogical environment, influencing the personality of the coach, can become a source of dangerous personal disharmony, which, in some cases, even lead to anomalies of the socio-psychological nature of the organization of individuality.

The study of the phenomenon of professional deformation of the coach's personality has not only theoretical, but also practical significance. This makes it easier to solve the problem of optimization of work in the sports and pedagogical sphere, and also contributes to the construction of strategies for professional self-preservation.

The article highlights the relevance of the treatment of professional deformations in the specialties of athletics coaches. The study was carried out on the basis of the Institute of Postgraduate Studies of the National University of Physical Education and Sports of Ukraine, which was related to the identification and interpretation of indicators of professional deformation from positions of interpersonal behavior. The algorithm for conducting the pedagogical experiment is examined in detail, and the empirical evidence of this experiment is interpreted. The effectiveness of the specially oriented training has been demonstrated. This scientific publication is a good foundation for the development and implementation of practical recommendations and trainings, based on an evidence base that confirms the effectiveness of the training mentioned in the article.

In the course of the study, the peculiarities of physical fitness and changes in indicators of physical performance of young women aged 17-21 under the influence of systematic sports and recreational swimming were studied. The purpose of our study was to assess the effectiveness of using sports and recreational swimming to improve the physical fitness of young women aged 17-21. 38 young women who attend the ZFP groups and health swimming groups of the "Akvarena" pool in Kharkiv took part in the study. The studied women were divided into control (CG, n = 20) and experimental (EG, n = 18) groups. Specialized classes in groups of general physical training and classes in recreational swimming groups were held for nine months, 2-3 times a week, the duration of one class was 45 minutes. The following methods were used during data collection: analysis of literary sources; test method; pedagogical experiment; pedagogical observation; method of mathematical processing of research data. The work presents materials that show that the use of sports and health swimming facilities contributed to the significant optimization of the main indicators of physical fitness of young women who attend sports and health swimming classes (speed, strength, agility, speed and strength abilities), the growth of their aerobic capabilities and level general physical capacity. After the formative experiment, all the indicators used in the study in the women of the experimental group, who were engaged in recreational swimming, were reliable and better than in the young women of the control group, who practiced according to the traditional program for the ZFP groups on land. The obtained results provide grounds for the use of recreational swimming to increase the effectiveness of the process of physical education of young people and young women in particular.
GENETIC STRUCTURE OF THE SABLE (MARTES ZIBELLINA LINNAEUS, 1758) AT THE AMUR REGION: CLUSTER ANALYSIS OF SUBPOPULATIONS

Published: January 2024

The Amur region sable sub-populations monitoring of the allelic composition in the hunting seasons of 2011–2021 showed the presence of alleles marking the differences between the sable population at the Amur River left and right banks. A pairwise comparison of seasonal collections of left- and right-bank sub-populations revealed a spread in the level of genetic differentiation from almost zero values to intermediate ones. It became clear that in order to determine the number of different genetic groups of sable in this region, we need additional mathematical methods to work with the obtained data. The purpose of this work is to determine and visualize the most likely number of different genetic groups of sables in the territory under consideration. It was studied three sub-populations of the Bureinsky Highland sable (left bank of the Amur River). For comparison, it was taken a species sub-population from the Sikhote-Alin western slopes (the Amur River right bank). The analysis of data for two microsatellite loci Ma3 and Mer041, on the material of hunting winter seasons from 2011 to 2022, was carried out using the programs Structure 2.3.4 and Structure Harvester. Based on the results obtained with these programs, it can be assumed that in the territory under consideration, this species is represented by two genetic groups (clusters) – “the left-bank” and “the right-bank”. The structure remains the same for both the collection material of the 2012–2013 winter hunting seasons and those of 2013–2014, as well as for the total collections of 2011–2022. The formation of such a structure is undoubtedly the result of both the historical formation of the species habitat and the genetic specifics of anthropogenic introductions from two different geographical areas.

Published: January 2024

In this study, MODIS satellite imagery data was processed for 2016 to identify areas with high fire danger, taking into account vegetation characteristics in 2016–2017. To assess the biodiversity of the territory and damage from vegetation fires, it is proposed an algorithm for the spatial and temporal analysis of vegetation fires distribution, taking into account their influence on vegetation transformation in the Russian Far East. The processing algorithm includes: the network imposition on the study area; obtaining satellite image fragments for the territory and converting the satellite image into operational-territorial units of a given size, with the transfer of attribute data over a multi-year period; forming vector layers of individual vegetation fires on the base of point placement or fires area, determining the nesting of individual fires in operational-territorial units and adding data on the condition of vegetation they arose on. The materials of the study contained both annual and daily vegetation data on the location of vegetation fires, based on MODIS satellite images, Terra spectroradiometer and Aqua Land Cover Modeling Grid Version 6. In the course of data analysis, 88 variants of vegetation condition transformation were found in the presence of from 1 to 11 fires. In 8604 cases, changes in the flora structure and quality were caused by an anthropogenic factor. In 40 variants, the transformation did not depend on fires. The maximum transformation is recorded in the following vegetation cover classes: small-leaved and broad-leaved forests, forest-steppes, steppes, meadows and arable land. Most cases of vegetation transformation in operational-territorial units (from 30 to 70%) are recorded when forest- steppe is turning to steppe.

Introduction: Lipomas are benign adipose tissue tumors that can vary in size and location. Magnetic resonance images should be obtained for all soft-tissue masses that are deep to fascia or those >5 cm in subcutaneous tissue. In this case report, we present a minimal invasive technique to resect a large preperitoneal lipoma.
Case Presentation: A 36-year-old woman presenting with left fossa pain caused by a large mass. MRI-imaging shows a large preperitoneal lipomatous lesion (61 × 58 × 40 mm) which compresses the bladder, tuba and surrounding vessels. We did a minimally invasive preperitoneal laparoscopic surgical resection. Postoperative follow-up was uneventful. The pathology report confirmed benign lipoma without signs of malignancy.
Discussion: Preperitoneal lipomas should be considered in the diagnosis of lower abdominal pain and can be minimally invasive resected via preperitoneal laparoscopic approach in day clinic.
