Infant emotional development adapts to distinct patterns of caregiver mental health and household dynamics
Authors: Werchan Denise , Gaines Leslie , Zhang Maggie , Brito Natalie Hiromi , Thomason Moriah E
Published: July 2024

Caregiver mental health and the home environment influence emotional development, but it is unclear whether different patterns of these variables shape infant outcomes. To capture heterogeneity of infants’ proximal environments, we use latent profile analysis to examine how distinct patterns of caregiver psychological distress and variability in the home predict emotional regulation in 104 mother-infant dyads (M age = 6.4 months, 46% White; 31% Hispanic/Latino; 51% Male). Infants of mothers experiencing high psychological distress who were in homes with high physical stimulation (e.g., noise, activity) and temporal disorder (e.g., lack of routines) demonstrated lower negative affect and increased regulation during two stressor tasks. These findings indicate that emotional development may be adapted to the unique characteristics of infants’ proximal environments.
Cognitive Mechanisms of Subjective Value in Multi-Attribute Pricing
Authors: Fitch Anderson , Kvam Peter D.
Published: July 2024

Understanding how people assign subjective value to outcomes with multiple attributes, such as risk and delay, is central to understanding the structure and manifestation of economic preferences. However, multi-attribute preference has been primarily studied through binary choices. The price at which a person would buy, sell, or equate each prospect offers another measure of subjective value that may diverge from multi-attribute choice. In both risky and intertemporal domains, choice and price preferences exhibit systematic preference reversals, where a smaller, sooner, or safer option is chosen while a larger, later, or riskier alternative is assigned a higher price. The present study takes a deep dive into how subjective value is assigned in each case in an attempt to reconcile these diverging measurements and methods of assessing value. To explain how and why preferences change across choice and price, the domains of gains and losses, price frames of buying and selling, and varying levels of time pressure, we develop a unified dynamic modeling approach equipped with the flexibility to test cognitive mechanisms that may contribute to value-based judgments and decisions. Using a neural network-based approach to posterior parameter estimation and switchboard model comparison, we evaluate for each participant whether changes across conditions can be ascribed to anchoring, response caution, probability weighting, and/or delay discounting. While these mechanisms are common to both pricing and choice models, our results suggest that they differ across elicitation procedure: people anchored on the payoff and showed greater sensitivity to large payoffs in pricing compared to choice.
170 years of living arrangements in the United States
Authors: Floridi Ginevra , Esteve Albert
Published: July 2024

Over the past 170 years the United States (US) has undergone demographic, structural, and cultural changes that are reflected in–and a reflection of–changes in living arrangements. We provide the first account of life-years spent across different living arrangements for the entire US population between 1850–2021. We also describe changes across generations born in the 1860s, 1900s, and 1940s. We use harmonized census data from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Samples (IPUMS USA). We classify living arrangements broadly into living alone, only with primary kin (partners, parents, and children), and in extended households, and into more detailed sub-categories including, for example, single-parent primary-kin households and extended families. Our results reveal three distinct systems of living arrangements. A “large household” system prevails between 1850 and 1940, starting from similar shares of life years spent in extended and primary-kin households, with a steady growth of the latter in line with rising life expectancy. This is followed by an era of “primary kin household” dominance between 1940 and 1980, when gains in life years spent with primary kin outpace life expectancy increases, and living alone emerges. From 1980 onwards, a “diversified” system emerges, with declines in primary-kin households in favor of a more varied set of arrangements. Our results show how historical changes in population mortality and age structure combine with social change to affect household composition, and invite scholarship on families and households to consider the repercussions of social and demographic change for living arrangements across the population age distribution.

Serogroup B Protein Meningococcal Vaccines and the Formation of Immune Protection against Gonorrhea
Authors: Kostyukova N. N. , Bekhalo V. A.
Published: July 2024

Relevance. Gonorrhea is a widespread infection. More than 80 million cases of this disease occur annually. The problem is compounded by the growing resistance of gonococcus to antibiotics worldwide. The only way out in this situation may be the immunization of certain groups of the population against this infection. Despite the numerous efforts of specialists, there is currently no registered vaccine against gonorrhea, which is due to the characteristics of the pathogen. However, over the past 30 years, reliable observations have accumulated that vaccines containing N. meningititidis serogroup B outer membrane proteins (OMP), developed for prophylaxis meningococcal infection, can also prevent a significant proportion of gonorrhea cases. Aims. To give a brief overview of publications on the reduction of the incidence of gonorrhea in individuals who received vaccines containing N. meningitidis serogroup B outer membrane vesicles, followed by an analysis of information about the nature of these proteins and methods of their study, as a promising platform for creating a vaccine against gonococcus. Conclusions. There is a theoretical and real possibility of creating a preventive drug against gonorrhea. Our analysis of literature sources showed that during the period 2006–2016 from 31% to 59% of those vaccinated with the protein meningococcal vaccine В were protected from gonorrhea. It is necessary to continue studying meningococcal OMV in terms of their preventive properties against gonorrhea, improve the set of models to identify their protective effect, and find adjuvants that enhance the immunogenicity of potential vaccine candidates.
Análisis de la evaluación y la calificación. ¿Es posible una coordinación pedagógica entre ambos enfoques?
Authors: Romero-González Luis M.
Published: July 2024

Introducción: Actualmente, existe una confusión terminológica entre evaluación y calificación que implica, además de equivocaciones conceptuales, errores en la forma de entender la evaluación educativa. La evaluación se considera formativa y al servicio del aprendizaje, mientras que la calificación tiene una función acreditativa para medir el aprendizaje. Metodología: Para la elaboración de este estudio se llevó a cabo una revisión no sistemática de la bibliografía existente en diferentes bases de datos y obras impresas con un doble objetivo: analizar si la literatura concibe como posible la sinergia entre evaluación y calificación y localizar estrategias que las coordinen. Resultados: Se encontró que ambos procesos, evaluación y calificación, tienen en la literatura científica su lugar diferenciado, aunque en la práctica suelen confundirse. Esta confusión se debe principalmente a la tradición calificadora de la evaluación y a la asignación de múltiples funciones a la evaluación, algunas incluso contradictorias, lo que confunde a los docentes. Muchos docentes han tenido la experiencia de ser calificados, no evaluados, durante su etapa como estudiantes. Discusión: La confusión entre evaluación y calificación tiene raíces profundas en las tradiciones educativas y en la multiplicidad de funciones asignadas a la evaluación. Esto provoca que, en la práctica, ambos términos se utilicen indistintamente, afectando la claridad y efectividad de los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Conclusiones: El profesorado puede combinar la evaluación y calificación mediante innovadoras y creativas estrategias a favor del proceso de aprendizaje, superando así la tradicional confusión y potenciando su impacto positivo en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes.
Restructuring agricultural land use in Ukraine. Directions for development
Authors: Tretiak Anton , Hunko Liudmyla
Published: July 2024

The intensity of agricultural land use in Ukraine was analyzed based on soil quality and the values of the land-use intensity (LUI) index and the land-use capacity (LUC) index. In the administrative districts of Cherkasy region, the LUI index ranged from 0.07 to 1.0, and the LUC index ranged from 0.01 ha per 1000 UAH of gross output to 0.19 ha per 1000 UAH, which points to considerable difference in land-use intensity and agricultural land-use capacity. New approaches should be sought to improve the management and use of agricultural land. Functional land use areas should be restructured, in particular, by implementing non-traditional methods of agricultural land use. The results of the study indicate that land-use functions should be modified over an area of 5,343,900 ha, where 2,049,900 ha should be converted to crop rotations for soil protection, 208,000 ha – to protective forest margins; and 2,878,000 ha – to non-traditional forms of agricultural land use. Motives: The purpose of the article was to propose a methodological approach for assessing the intensity of agricultural land use and to suggest directions for land-use restructuring to improve its ecological status. Aim: In the proposed methodical approach, the intensity of agricultural land use was assessed with the land-use intensity (LUI) index and the land-use capacity (LUC) index. To reduce plowing and increase land-use intensity, the functions of degraded arable land should be modified over an area of 5,343,900 ha, where 2,049,900 ha should be converted to crop rotations for soil protection, 208,000 ha – to protective forest margins; and 2,878,000 ha – to non-traditional forms of agricultural land use. Results: The article substantiates the need to modify the functions of arable land over an area of  5,343,900 ha, where 2,049,900 ha should be converted to crop rotations for soil protection, 208,000 ha – to protective forest margins; and 2,878,000 ha – to non-traditional forms of agricultural land use.
Differences in the environmental awareness of the Polish population
Authors: Smoliński Paweł , Biegańska Jadwiga , Środa-Murawska Stefania
Published: July 2024

Motives: A fundamental tenet of sustainable development (SD) posits that all human endeavors should prioritize ecological safety. This underscores the significance of the knowledge about the ways in which these activities manifest in social attitudes, as an indicator of environmental awareness (EA) levels. Given the relevance of environmental EA, this issue should be examined across diverse communities and social groups, such as urban and rural residents, to catalyze the adoption of SD principles. It is assumed that the concentration of the population and societal structures in urban centers stimulate the development of concepts and solutions that subsequently disseminate to rural areas through urbanization and modernization patterns. Consequently, the potential disparities in EA and pro-environmental behaviors should be analyzed based on community members’ place of residence and economic status. Aim: The objective of this study was to assess differences in EA levels within the Polish population in the context of SD principles, based on demographic and social characteristics, as well as the respondents’ place of residence. Results: The study revealed several connections between attitudes toward sustainability and pro- -environmental activities. The identified attitudes were associated with demographic, economic, and spatial factors. The results indicate that EA levels are relatively high among Polish residents, irrespective of spatial distribution. Furthermore, significantly higher levels of EA-related activities were noted among urban dwellers, particularly the young and well-educated. Interestingly, a similar trend was noted among the residents of suburban zones. In contrast, rural inhabitants exhibited lower levels of EA compared to their urban counterparts.

Authors: Ansariyar Alireza , Taherpour Abolfazl , Yang Di , Jeihani Mansoureh
Published: July 2024

Motives: In response to the inherent vulnerability of pedestrians in urban settings, this paper is driven by a commitment to enhancing their mobility and safety. Recognizing the prevalence of jaywalking as a significant concern, the study seeks practical solutions through the application of LiDAR sensors at signalized intersections. By delving into the complexities of jaywalking events and their contributing factors, the research aims to provide valuable insights that extend beyond mere statistical analysis. The motivations behind this endeavour lie in the imperative to comprehensively understand and address the risks associated with jaywalking, ultimately fostering a safer environment for pedestrians navigating urban crossroads.
Aim: The primary aim of this paper is to assess and analyse the diverse factors influencing the frequency of jaywalking at signalized intersections, leveraging the capabilities of LiDAR sensors for safety applications. Through a meticulous examination of 1000 jaywalking events detected over a six-month period, the study aims to pinpoint highly correlated independent variables to the frequency of jaywalking events. These variables include traffic signal controller patterns, signal phases, vehicle-pedestrian conflicts, weather conditions, vehicle volume, walking patterns toward the median, pedestrian volume, and the unique jaywalker’s ratio. Employing advanced statistical regression models, the research seeks to identify optimal models and unravel key insights into the nuanced dynamics of jaywalking behaviour. The overarching goal is to equip decision-makers and transportation specialists with data-driven knowledge, enabling them to implement targeted safety
measures that mitigate pedestrian risks and enhance safety infrastructure at critical urban crossroads. Results: The outcomes of the study, derived from the optimal Poisson regression model, yield crucial insights into the multifaceted nature of jaywalking events at signalized intersections. The morning and mid-day signal controller patterns exhibit a substantial decrease of 44.7% and 34.4%, respectively, compared to the evening (PM) pattern, shedding light on temporal nuances in jaywalking behaviour. Additionally, the severity of vehicle-pedestrian conflicts escalates proportionally with the number of jaywalkers, emphasizing the importance of addressing pedestrian flow in mitigating potential conflicts. Notably, the presence of vegetation in the median emerges as a significant factor, significantly increasing the frequency of jaywalking. These results contribute to a nuanced understanding of the intricate interplay between environmental, temporal, and behavioural factors in jaywalking incidents. Decision-makers and transportation specialists can leverage these findings to formulate targeted safety interventions, fostering a safer pedestrian experience at crucial urban crossroads

The advantages and possibilities of a dual form of higher education as a symbiosis of theoretical and professional-practical components of education are considered. In this case, the applicant receives all the necessary knowledge on the basis of a higher education institution (university or college), and practices them at an enterprise or company with which the institution cooperates. This system is currently being implemented in all European countries. Modern professional education, including higher education, lacks practical content. Instead, the dual form involves constant communication between the educational institution and the employer. Enterprises reserve the required number of training places for future specialists in higher education institutions. Students work in their chosen specialty during the entire period of professional training. There are various options for combining training and practice: three days at the enterprise and three days at the institution; classes in the morning, and work in the afternoon or vice versa. Depending on the chosen program and the agreement with the employer, applicants can spend a week studying theory and a week gaining practical experience, or two months attending lectures and the next two months working, developing and improving the acquired skills and abilities. Undoubtedly, the introduction of dual education requires adjusting industry standards and revising educational programs, designing learning outcomes that are required by the labor market. The concept of training specialists under the dual form of education, approved in Ukraine, regulates the rights, interests and obligations of educational institutions, employers, and students. Dual education makes it possible to turn students into mobile, competent, dynamic and experienced professionals who know what they want to achieve. It opens up new opportunities for professional training. At the same time, in the authors’ opinion, it is inappropriate to transform all professional education into dual education; this is a form of education for those who are able to combine study and work experience.

S-shaped cheek-pieces from burial mounds of the nomads of the Scythian period in the Southern Urals
Authors: Myshkin Vladimir N. ,   Samara State TeacherTraining University (Samara)
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the presentation of the typology of cheek-pieces used by the nomads of the Southern Urals in the VI–IV centuries BC and received the name S-shaped in special archaeological works. The relevance of the development is due to a significant increase in the number of cheek-pieces of various shapes found in mounds that were studied in the territory of the specified region. The number of these pieces of horse harness currently published in the scientific literature is about 200. The S-shaped cheek-pieces discussed in the article are metal rods with two holes in the body for fastening to a rein and ends bent in opposite directions at an angle to the central part. The development is based on the typology published by K.F. Smirnov in 1961, who considered S-shaped cheek-pieces as one type, represented by three options. The types were identified based on a set of characteristics that formed specific combinations and characterized the material from which the cheek-piece was made, the general configuration of the object, as well as the nature of its decoration. A sample of 57 specimens of these bridle parts was used to write the article. It is proposed to distinguish 6 types of two-hole S-shaped cheek-pieces. The dates proposed by researchers for the burial complexes containing these objects made it possible to establish the time of existence of each type among the South Ural nomads. Nomads of the Southern Urals used such cheek-pieces from the end of the 6th to the 4th centuries BC inclusive. The article examines the features of the spatial distribution of types represented by the largest number of copies.
