About Filtration in a Geophysical Bridge with a Seepage Site
Authors: Anakhaev K. N.
Published: November 2024

Based on the representation of a modular elliptic function in the form of a combination of simple algebraic formulas that conformally map the area of the velocity hodograph (curved triangle) onto a half-plane, a direct definition of filtration rates in a geophysical bridge is given. For the first time, a family of isotope lines of equal filtration rates was constructed for the inner area of the bridge in the absence of water in the downstream. For special cases, the values of the proposed formulas almost completely coincide with the hydromechanical solution of Masket M. (for 4 cases) and the numerical calculations of Khairullin Z.E. (for 2 cases). The well-known Nelson-Skornyakov F.B. formula for the output filtration rates through the lower face of the jumper, adopted by analogy with the flow outlet from the base of the flatbed into the horizontal drainage, gives an underestimation of the results by up to 45%, and therefore cannot be recommended for practical use.
Contact with Intermolecular Interaction Forces for a Viscoelastic Layer (Self-Consistent Approach): The Energy Balance for the System of Indenter–Layer–Substrate
Authors: Soldatenkov I. A.
Published: November 2024

The contact of an infinitely extended plane indenter and a viscoelastic layer in the framework of the Derjaguin self-consistent approach with the surface (traditional formulation) and bulk (refined formulation) application of intermolecular interaction forces is considered. Corresponding models of the contact interaction are proposed, for which the energy balance in the indenter–layer–substrate system is derived and validated. The balance takes into account viscous energy dissipation, potential energy of elastic deformation, field energy, as well as the energy dissipated in jump of the contact gap.

For arbitrary transverse inhomogeneity a closed form dispersion equation is derived. Dispersion relations for materials with different kinds of inhomogeneity are obtained and compared.
Systems of Inclusions in a Spatial Elastic Wedge
Authors: Pozharskaya E. D. , Pozharsky D. A. , Sobol B. V.
Published: November 2024

Contact problems are considered for two identical thin rigid elliptic inclusions in a three-dimensional elastic wedge of two-sided angle outer faces of which are subjected to rigid or sliding support. The problems are reduced to integral equations with symmetric kernels. Two dimensionless geometric parameters are introduced to characterize location of the inclusions in the bisecting half-plane of the wedge. Assuming linear connection between the parameters, the regular asymptotic method is used to solve the problems. The asymptotic for two inclusions is compared with corresponding solutions for unit inclusion in the wedge as well as for a periodic chain of inclusions the axis of which is parallel to the wedge edge.

Published: November 2024

Tactile play and playful massage are a normal interaction between adults and children in many cultures. Experimental data show that activation of the C-tactile system during such playful touches contributes to children’s socialization and the establishment of psychoemotional bonds in the parent-child dyad. However, comprehensive studies of the effects of different types of touch on perception of tactile stimulation in children have not been conducted before. Twenty-three children participated in the present study: 10 in the preschool age group and 13 in the elementary school age group. Children in both groups received play massage containing different types of touch with simultaneous recording of electroencephalogram (EEG) and heart rate. EEG processing included determination of spectral power, alpha rhythm peak frequency and fractal dimension. Analysis of the results showed that the relaxing effect of the procedure was more pronounced in children of primary school age, which can be explained both by the greater maturity of the CNS and the greater need for tactile contact, which is not realized in the school environment.

In this work we solve the problem of automatic binary classification of subjects with a diagnosis of schizophrenia and control groups on a data set obtained on a Siemens 3T tomograph. The data set included 36 subjects undergoing treatment at Psychiatric Hospital no. 1 Named after N.A. Alexeev of the Department of Health of Moscow (GBUZ PKB No. 1 DZM) and 36 subjects from the control group. Machine learning methods were used to solve this problem. As a result, an accuracy of 76% was achieved, which corresponds to the results obtained in other scientific studies. The highest accuracy was obtained for the local homogeneity parameter (regional homogeneity – ReHo), already known in the literature. At the same time, the set of features developed by the authors based on the method for identifying functionally homogeneous regions (FHR) gave a classification accuracy of 74%. But at the same time, the set of FHR features provides higher classification accuracy when using a small number of brain regions. For example, already in 8 regions, the FHR set provided an almost maximum classification accuracy of 72.5% (versus 65% for the ReHo set), which suggests that it is the selected 8 regions that give the highest level of separation.

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that personality traits and stressful situations experienced in childhood could be associated with the level of serum cortisol. The sample included 121 healthy adult men of Yakut (Sakha) ethnicity aged 18 to 27 years. To assess personality traits, the TCI temperament and character questionnaire by R. Cloninger was used. Serum cortisol levels were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). It was found that such a temperament trait as “reward dependence” is associated with higher level of cortisol in the blood (p = 0.04). Experienced stressful situations are associated with the character trait “self-transcendence” (p = 0.049) but do not significantly affect cortisol levels. In individuals with high levels of stress, significant correlations were found between the “novelty seeking” (r = 0.33) and “self-directedness” (r = 0.36) with serum cortisol levels, which may reflect the prolonged effect of stress on increasing the sensitivity of the adrenal cortex. The results indicate a possible connection between one of the human temperament traits “reward dependence” and higher levels of cortisol in the blood. A high level of experienced stress situations reduces scores on the character trait “self-transcendence.”
Effect of STIN2VNTR polymorphism of the serotonin transporter gene on background EEG in aged subjects depends on the intellectual environment of professional activity
Authors: Privodnova E. Yu. , Volf N. V.
Published: November 2024

Previously, we found that associations between the STin2VNTR polymorphism of the serotonin transporter gene and cognitive characteristics during aging depend on the intellectual environment of professional activity. In this regard, the present study was aimed to investigate the age-related characteristics of the electrical activity of the brain depending on this polymorphism and long-term intellectual training. We examined EEG power indicators in subjects of the younger (YG, 18–35 years, N = 261) and older (OG, 55–80 years, N = 142) age groups. According to the intellectual richness of the professional activity environment, the subjects were divided into scientists (SA) and those engaged in non-scientific activities (NSA). All subjects were genotyped for the STin2VNTR polymorphism of the serotonin transporter gene. It was found that the power of delta-beta1 rhythms in older carriers of the 10/10 and 12/12 genotypes was opposite in SA and NSA groups (in the SA group 10/10 12/12, in the NSA 12/12 10/10) while similar effects in young subjects were absent. In the absence of cognitive training, genetic differences were determined by an age-related decrease in the power of delta-alpha3 rhythms in carriers of the 10/10 genotype with no age-related differences in carriers of the 12/12 genotype, suggesting the resistance of the 12/12 genotype to age-related changes. In contrast, under cognitive training conditions, there were no age differences in the 10/10 genotype, and a decrease in power was observed in the 12/12 genotype, suggesting an effect of cognitive training on both homozygous genotypes. The decrease in power observed for the 10/10 NSA and 12/12 SA genotypes appears to have different physiological significance, since it was accompanied by changes in attentional efficiency only in the NSA group. The work shows for the first time that the background EEG features associated with the STin2VNTR polymorphism of the serotonin transporter gene in elderly people are under the modulating influence of long-term cognitive training, determined by the specificity of professional activity.

Authors: Perepelkina O. V. , Poletaeva I. I.
Published: November 2024

Mice of two strains, selected, respectively, for successful solution of puzzle-box test (addressed to “object permanence” rule operation) and for non-solution of this test, were tested for short term memory, attention to moving object and neophagia. The data obtained demonstrated, that mice, selected for successful “object permanence” test solution demonstrated higher scores in recent memory and attention indices. It was suggested, that interstrain differences discovered should be addressed to differences in the “executive functions” expression.
Dependency of amplitude and phase characteristics of vasomotor oscillations on visual stimulation conditions and experiment duration
Authors: Kozhukhov S. A. , Saltykov K. A. , Bondar I. V.
Published: November 2024

The intrinsic-signal optical imaging is widely used in experimental, theoretical and applied research of the mammal’s brain neocortex functional anatomy. However, a neural activity signal is hidden by the background activity, the amplitude of which is an order of magnitude larger than the mapping signal amplitude. Most of such background activity represents spontaneous oscillations in 0.01–0.15 Hz frequency range related to vasomotor oscillations. In this paper, we point out that such oscillations change their power and phase during the response time course. The most dramatic influence is intrinsic for 0.05–0.15 Hz oscillations. The power of vasomotor oscillations declines more quickly than the stability features of their phase characteristics. Departing from these data, we suggested approaches for minimization of role of vasomotor oscillations in functional maps resulting from intrinsic-signal optical imaging.

This study investigates the synergy between the virtual and real-world economies through e-commerce, where seller reputation is critical in guiding consumer decisions. As traditional businesses shift towards online retail, user reviews become essential, offering feedback to both sellers and potential buyers. Sentiment analysis through machine learning (ML) techniques presents significant advantages for consumers and retailers alike. This research proposes a novel approach combining bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) embeddings with an optimized XGBoost classification model to enhance sentiment analysis performance. A modified metaheuristic algorithm, derived from the firefly algorithm (FA), is introduced to optimize the model. Testing on publicly available datasets demonstrates that models optimized by this algorithm achieved a peak accuracy of .881336. Further statistical analyses substantiate these improvements, and SHAP interpretation on the best-performing model identifies key features impacting model predictions, shedding light on factors driving customer sentiment insights.

Authors: Mabhanda Wilson , Dzingirai Mufaro
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of informal traders in contributing to community livelihoods in the post-COVID-19 era. The African philosophy of sustainability is mainly anchored on community livelihoods supported by Ubuntu heritage. Data collection and analysis were conducted using an exploratory study approach. In-depth interviews with twenty informal traders were purposively sampled and data was thematically analysed. The study found that informal trading created an opportunity for employment and poverty alleviation and acted as an economic conduit for development. Traders contributed to local development by completing the supply chain process in their daily livelihood business activities. Moreover, improvements in infrastructure, training, and capacity-building initiatives are necessary to support the development of management skills within the organization. It was established that informal trading is a substantial source of income that helps to improve livelihoods and reduce poverty. Keeping this in mind, employment opportunities are created by the sector, particularly for people with less formal education or skill set. While the role of informal traders in contributing to community livelihoods is a well-established research area, the focus on the post-COVID-19 era adds a layer of novelty to the study. By examining how informal traders have adapted and responded to the pandemic's challenges.

In the era of globalization and modernization, Islamic educational institutions such as madrasahs face significant challenges in enhancing graduate quality to ensure their competitiveness. Transformational leadership, recognized for its ability to inspire and empower staff, has become an essential approach for creating a dynamic and progressive educational environment. This study aims to answer the question of how transformational leadership practices of madrasah principals can improve graduate quality. Using a descriptive qualitative research method, this study examines the four main components of transformational leadership, as proposed by Bernard M. Bass: idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. Findings from Madrasah Aliyah Al-Jawami reveal that the madrasah principal plays a crucial role in inspiring and motivating both teachers and students through exemplary behavior, empowerment, and inclusive communication. The impact of this transformational leadership is evident in the improved quality of graduates, both academically and in non-academic skills, preparing them for challenges beyond school. These findings suggest that implementing transformational leadership can be an effective strategy for enhancing educational quality in Islamic institutions.

The Division of the Rostov Diocese in the Early 13th Century and the Annalistic Writing
Authors:   State Academic University of the Humanities, Guimon Тimofey V.

In 1213, Ioann, bishop of Rostov, Suzdal, and Vladimir, was suspended, and soon two new bishops were ordained: Pakhomii to Rostov, and Simon to Vladimir and Suzdal. This division of the see was, no doubt, a result of the political situation: the rivalry between the sons of Vsevolod ‘the Big Nest’ (d. 1212), especially the elder two ones, Konstantin of Rostov and Yurii of Vladimir and Suzdal. In the early 13th century, we also observe a bifurcation of the annals of the Northeastern Rus: up to 1206 they all reflect one text, and later there are two independent continuations, in the Laurentian Chronicle and in the Chronicle of Pereyaslavl of Suzdal. The latter covers only 1206–1214, and then stops, while the former is continued up to the early 14th century. This situation of bifurcation of the annals in one region of Rus is unique for the early Rus annalistic writing. The two independent sets of annals start, however, a few years prior to the division of the diocese, as well as prior to the death of Vsevolod (however, around the time when Rostov became politically autonomous under Vsevolod’s elder son Konstantin). Both continuations, no doubt, were written contemporarily with the events, not retrospectively after 1213. So, the bifurcation of annals was not, at least in a strict sense, a result of the division of the see and/or of the political rivalry of the 1210s. However, it seems probable that, although the formal division of the see took place only in 1213, in the preceding years, the role of Simon was more than that of the abbot of the main monastery of Vladimir. The author suggests some case in support of a hypothesis that Simon (or somebody in his close environment) maintained the annals reflected in the Chronicle of Pereyaslavl of Suzdal, while the annals reflected in the Laurentian Chronicle were the episcopal annals of Ioann.
When was the Metropolitan See of Rhosia Created?

The article discusses the reasons for the delay in the creation of the Metropolitan see of Rhosia, clearly described, but not explained by A.V. Nazarenko. The first reason is the search for candidates for the posts of Metropolitan and at least two bishops, which should have taken some time: this difficulty is emphasized by the fact of the transfer of Metropolitan Theophylaktos from Sebastia to Kiev. The second reason is the need to erect a completely equipped cathedral for the hierarch, which was required by the canonical rules. The situation was complicated by the third reason – the absence of the patriarch in 993 – early 996. Therefore, the metropolitan's arrival in Russia did not occur earlier than 996, when suitable candidates were already selected, the Tithe Church was consecrated and a new patriarch was installed, but it is unlikely much later, since there are no reasons for the delay in sending the Russian first hierarch.
