Yidishe tates forming Jewish families
Authors: Czimbalmos Mercédesz
Published: January 2021

Jewish communities often do not endorse the idea of intermarriage, and Orthodox Judaism opposes the idea of marrying out. Intermarriage is often perceived as a threat that may jeopardise Jewish continuity as children of such a relationship may not identify as Jews. When a Jewish woman marries out, her children will in any case become Jewish by halakhah – the Jewish law – by which Judaism is inherited from mother to child – and thus usually faces less difficulties over acceptance in Jewish communities. Even though the Torah speaks of  patrilineal descent, in post-biblical times, the policy was reversed in favour of the matrilineal principle, and children of Jewish men and non-Jewish women must therefore go through the conversion process if they wish to join a Jewish congregation according to most Jewish denominational requirements. The aim of this article is to analyse what happens when Jewish men, who belong to Finland’s Orthodox communities, marry out. Do they ensure Jewish continuity, and raise their children Jewish, and how do they act as Yidishe tates – Jewish fathers? If yes, how do they do so, and what problems do they face? These questions are answered through an analysis of thirteen semi-structured in-depth interviews conducted with male members of the Jewish Community of Helsinki and Turku in 2019–20.

Published: January 2021

Pisang sale adalah makanan khas tradisional yang berbahan dasar pisang. Untuk wilayah Aceh, Kecamatan Langkahan Kabupaten Aceh Utara sejak tahun 2005 sampai 2015 sangat dikenal sebagai daerah sentra produksi pisang sale. Ribuan hektar lahan pisang tersedia di daerah tersebut. Bahkan saat itu hampir setiap rumah tangga memiliki unit produksi pisang sale.  Saat  ini ketertarikan masyarakat  untuk  memproduksi pisang sale  sudah  berkurang dikarenakan banyaknya bermunculan produk makanan lainnya dan menurunnya minat masyarakat mengkonsumsi pisang sale sehingga harga jualnya pun mengalami penurunan. Di pasaran harga jual pisang sale berkisar 20.000 sampai 25.000 perkilogram. Kurangnya minat masyarakat untuk mengkonsumsi pisang sale umumnya disebabkan tidak higienisnya proses produksi pisang sale. Saat ini pisang sale diproduksi dengan metode pengasapan langsung yang diyakini mengandung banyak polutan sisa pembakaran yang melekat pada pisang sale. Masyarakat yang sadar kesehatan tentu menghindari untuk menkonsumsi pisang sale yang tidak baik terhadap kesehatan tersebut sehingga mengurangi tingkat penjualan pisang sale dipasaran   yang   mengakibatkan   menurunnya   produksi   produk   pisang   sale   ditingkat pengusaha.  Berdasarkan  hal  tersebut  pelaksana  PKM  merencanakan  penerapan  dapur produksi pisang sale dari dapur pengasapan yang mengandung polusi asap menjadi dapur bebas polutan dengan menggunakan peralatan penukar panas udara yang higienis dengan tujuan  untuk  meningkatkan kualitas  produk  dibidang  mutu dan  gizi  pisang sale  supaya kembali diminati oleh masyarakat sehingga mampu bersaing dengan produk makanan lainnya dengan harga yang kompetitif dan membentuk/mengembangkan kelompok usaha bersama tersebut  yang  mandiri  secara  ekonomi  dan  sosial.  Kegiatan  PKM  ini  meliputi  survey lapangan, pembuatan 2 (dua) unit penukar panas udara tipe shell and tube, instalasi peralatan dilapangan, pelatihan penggunaan peralatan, pemasaran dan pengemasan produk kedap udara yang berizin disperindag Kab. Aceh Utara, monitoring hasil produksi, dan pelaporan. Target luaran dari kegiatan ini adalah pembuatan alat teknologi tepat guna (TTG) bagi masyarakat khususnya Kelompok Usaha Bersama sehingga mampu mengembalikan minat masyarakat mengkonsumsi pisang sale yang higienis sehingga meningkatkan pendapatan ekonomi masyarakat, pengemasan produk menggunakan mesin vacum sealer dengan penempelan logo serta nama usaha produksi yang berizin dari dinas disperindag dan publikasi artikel di jurnal berISSN. Tingkat Kesiapterapan Teknologi (TKT) kegiatan ini diyakini sangat tinggi karena masyarakat mendukung sepenuhnya penerapan dapur bebas polusi agar usaha pisang sale mereka bisa bertahan dan mampu bersaing dengan produk makanan lainnya di pasaran. Kata kunci— Pemotongan, cutting, oksigen, asetilin.

Currently, there is no specific platform to disseminate the student association programmes at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia. Students have to rely on social media and instant messaging applications to disseminate programme information, thus resulting in the slow delivery of information or the information not being received by the target groups. Hence, the Programme Management System has been developed to make it easier for students to disseminate and obtain information on association programmes. This system is developed based on the waterfall model because the system requirements are clear and the model is easy to use. A total of 20 respondents participated in the user acceptance test and answered the questionnaire provided. The results of the feedback show that the majority of respondents agreed that this system helps and facilitates students in disseminating and obtaining information on the programme organized.

TOM1L2 is a differentially expressed gene in human metastatic breast cancer, in the brain and in the lymph nodes.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: January 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that the target of myb1-like 2, encoded by TOM1L2, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain and lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. TOM1L2 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of TOM1L2 in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient overall survival in patients with breast cancer. Modulation of TOM1L2 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain while evading immune clearance in the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer.
Can humans perform mental regression on a graph? Accuracy and bias in the perception of scatterplots.
Authors: Ciccione Lorenzo , Dehaene Stanislas
Published: January 2021

Despite the widespread use of graphs, little is known about how fast and how accurately we can extract information from them. Through a series of four behavioral experiments, we characterized human performance in “mental regression”, i.e. the perception of statistical trends from scatterplots. When presented with a noisy scatterplot, even as briefly as 100 ms, human adults could accurately judge if it was increasing or decreasing, fit a regression line, and extrapolate outside the original data range, for both linear and non-linear functions. Performance was highly consistent across those three tasks of trend judgment, line fitting and extrapolation. Participants’ linear trend judgments took into account the slope, the noise, and the number of data points, and were tightly correlated with the t-test classically used to evaluate the significance of a linear regression. However, they overestimated the absolute value of the regression slope. This bias was inconsistent with ordinary least squares (OLS) regression, which minimizes the sum of square deviations, but consistent with the use of Deming regression, which treats the x and y axes symmetrically and minimizes the Euclidean distance to the fitting line. We speculate that this fast but biased perception of scatterplots may be based on a “neuronal recycling” of the human visual capacity to identify the medial axis of a shape.
Capturing Death in Animated Films: Can Films Stimulate Parent-Child Conversations about Death?
Authors: Bridgewater Enrica , Menendez David , Rosengren Karl S.
Published: January 2021

We present three studies examining death in children’s animated films. Study 1 is a content analysis of 49 films. We found that death is often portrayed in films, but many deaths occurred off-screen. Deaths were mostly portrayed in a biologically accurate manner, but some films portrayed biological misconceptions. Study 2 (n = 433) reports on parents’ attitudes and parent-child conversations about death in films. Children’s questions about death in animated films were similar to their questions about death more generally. Animated films may provide a context for parent-child conversations about death, as parents often watched these films with their children. However, it appeared that few parents took advantage of this opportunity to talk about death with their children.

Managers’ Perception of Corruption in Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia
Authors: Botrić Valerija
Published: January 2021

The paper provides a comparative analysis of managersꞌ perception of corruption in three post-transition economies based on The World Bank Enterprise Survey data in the period 2002-2019. Results suggest that although the main forms of corruption seem to differ among the countries, there does not seem to be any systemic change within individual countries. While in Slovenia managers are most likely to notice grand corruption, petty corruption seems to be more widespread in Croatia and Serbia. Those who perceive corruption to be higher on the power ladder are also the ones more likely to consider it an obstacle for their business endeavours. The difference is the most significant in Croatia, suggesting that additional efforts to reduce corruption would be most readily welcomed by the business sector in that country. Limitations of the present study rely on the quality of the data source used. While there is no doubt that the survey has been carried out with the highest quality standards, the potential strategic answering of respondents can hardly be avoided when it comes to such an illusive phenomena as corruption. A possible remedy could be to supplement the results with a similar survey that would focus on questions specific to corruption practices of the analysed countries.

Contribuciones de astrónomos mexicanos al estudio de auroras boreales de baja latitud entre 1789 y 1791
Authors: Ramos-Lara M. P.
Published: January 2021

El 14 de noviembre de 1789 se observó una aurora boreal en la Ciudad de México. Ésta fue la primera aurora de baja latitud analizada científicamente en el mundo por tres científicos novohispanos: José Antonio Alzate, Antonio de León y Gama, y José Francisco Dimas Rangel. Alzate realizó observaciones meteorológicas y astronómicas precisas; notó que coincidía con un aumento en el tamaño de manchas solares; pronosticó su observación en varias regiones de América, Europa y Asia; y especificó su centro en el cenit. León y Gama, autor del tratado de auroras boreales más completo de América hasta esos años, la clasificó, calculó su altura, propuso un modelo propio, opinó sobre los límites de la ciencia para comprender su naturaleza y señaló misterios, algunos sin respuesta todavía. Dimas Rangel realizó un experimento para reproducir ―por primera vez― las características de una aurora, opinó sobre algunas explicaciones científicas y propuso la suya propia. Cada uno poseía ciertas piezas de un gran rompecabezas, imposible de armar en esa época. A través de las primeras publicaciones y debido a sus diferencias se originó una polémica sobre la naturaleza de este meteoro que contribuyó a que la astronomía novohispana brillara a nivel local e internacional. La aurora fue observada también en Barcelona, Suecia, Inglaterra, Polonia, San Petersburgo, Norteamérica (Salem, Hingham, Hamden y Cambridge) y Cuba.
Maxwellian stresses and electromagnetic forces that arise from them in vacuum and media.
Authors: Campos Flores I. , Jiménez Ramírez J. L. , Roa Neri J. A. E.
Published: January 2021

Faraday and Maxwell conceived the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields as lines of force filling the space around charges and currents, with or without matter. They also established that there are tensions along the lines of force, and compressions around these lines. These ideas are formalized with a stress tensor, whose divergence is a force density. We follow these ideas to show the origin of the electric forces that arise in the case of a dielectric slab partially introduced into a parallel-plate capacitor, and the origin of the magnetic forces that arise in the case of a magnetizable bar partially introduced into a solenoid. We find that these forces have their origin in the abrupt change in permittivity and permeability which produce a difference of pressures at interfaces. This approach permits us to analyze the similarities and differences between both cases. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students can get interesting insights into the electromagnetic forces exerted by electrostatic and magnetostatic fields in vacuum and matter.  Faraday y Maxwell concibieron los campos electrostáticos y magnetostáticos como líneas de fuerza llenando el espacio alrededor de cargas y corriente, con o sin materia. Ellos establecieron que hay tensiones a lo largo de las líneas de fuerza, y compresiones alrededor de estas líneas. Estas ideas se formalizan con el tensor de esfuerzos, cuya divergencia es una densidad de fuerza. Nosotros seguimos estas ideas para mostrar el origen de las fuerzas eléctricas que surgen cuando una barra de dieléctrico se introduce parcialmente en un condensador de placas paralelas, y el origen de las fuerzas magnéticas que surgen en el caso de una barra magnetizable parcialmente introducida en un solenoide. Encontramos que estas fuerzas tienen su origen en el cambio abrupto en la permitividad y permeabilidad que produce una diferencia de presiones en la interface. Este enfoque  nos permite analizar las similitudes y diferencias entre ambos casos. Los estudiantes no graduados y graduados pueden adquirir una percepción interesante  sobre las fuerzas electromagnéticas ejercidas por campos electrostáticos y magnetostáticos en el vacío y en la materia

Authors: Fernando M.G.K.M. , Priyadarshi K.I.J , Shanika L.G.T , Samaranayake N.R.
Published: January 2021

Introduction: Modified release tablets (MRTs) are developed to achieve different therapeutic outcomes and are frequently prescribed. This study aims to evaluate the knowledge, perceptions and practices on using MRTs among a selected cohort of prescribers. Methods: A self administered online survey was conducted using a pre-validated questionnaire, prepared in-house to assess knowledge, perceptions and practices on using MRTs, among academics with an MBBS degree in medical faculties of State universities in Sri Lanka. Results: The response rate was 15.5% among 375 prescribers. Most were females (53.4%) and were 46-55 years (29.3%). Over 50% correctly expanded abbreviations related to MRTs. Most defined enteric coated (87.9%) and targeted release (77.6%) forms accurately. However, 87.0% mixed-up definitions of sustained release with controlled release. Most believed that inability to split tablets (70.7%) and high cost (70.7%), as disadvantages of MRTs. Nearly half did not identify the risk of dose dumping (53.5%) and inflexible dosing schedule (44.8%) as disadvantages. For frequency of administering MRTs, 86.2% referred the product information leaflet (PIL) while 29.0% depended on the frequency of the corresponding immediate release tablet. Most (79.3%) prescribed MRTs to increase patient compliance while 12.1% prescribed them to reduce cost. When problems regarding MRTs were encountered, most referred PILs (81.0%) and clarified with experts (75.9%). Conclusions: Although the response rate was low, a clear gap in knowledge, perceptions and practices on using MRTs were identified among prescribers who responded. Interventions are needed to improve the knowledge, perceptions, and practices on using MRTs among prescribers.Keywords: Modified release tablets, Prescribers, Knowledge, Perceptions, Practices
The Effectiveness of ThingLink in Teaching New Vocabulary to Non-Native Beginners of the Arabic Language
Authors: Roslan Nur Najhah Akmal , Sahrir Muhammad Sabri
Published: January 2021

Low proficiency in the Arabic language, specifically in vocabulary learning, has been a long-standing issue for non-native Arabic speakers. Traditional language pedagogy, such as chalk and talk and memorization, continues to be a widely-known cause of low proficiency that affects 21st century students. Thus, this study sought to investigate the effectiveness of using ThingLink, an interactive image annotation tool, as an intervention to teach Arabic vocabulary to beginners of the language at a public university in Malaysia. The study adopted a pre-experimental design, i.e., the pretest-posttest one group design, involving 30 students who were beginners of Arabic. The Vocabulary Knowledge Scale (VKS) and a modified TAM questionnaire were utilized to examine ThingLink’s effectiveness in three aspects, i.e., perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and students’ vocabulary achievement. The data were analyzed descriptively and with a paired samples t-test. The results showed a statistically significant increase in vocabulary achievement among the subjects, but the effect of the intervention was only moderate at Cohen’s d = 0.42. The subjects rated ThingLink positively on both usefulness and ease of use, although their endorsement of the app’s ease of use was higher than their rating of its usefulness. The subjects’ reactions to ThingLink indicate that it is an effective tool for language teachers and students to use. The results of the study support the use of ThingLink as language learning app capable of meeting the needs and goals of 21st century education.
Reading Skill among Malaysian ESL Lower Secondary Students: Which Girls and Which Boys are Achieving and Underachieving?
Authors: Badrasawi Kamal J I , Abu Kassim Noor Lide
Published: January 2021

The literature on educational achievement has shown consistently that boys are underachieving. They are disengaged with learning, and their dropout rates in schools are higher than those for girls. Although the problem of underachievement and disengagement with learning is largely associated with boys, not all boys are underachieving or disengaged with learning, and not all girls are achieving and engaged with learning. There is also strong evidence to suggest that differences within gender are more significant than the difference between gender. Recent research findings have shown that educational performance is highly influenced by socio-demographic factors such as school location, race or ethnicity, socio-economic status, and parents’ education. Given that reading is a critical literacy skill for academic achievement and English is an important second language in Malaysia, this study sought to identify groups of Malaysian lower secondary students who are at risk of underachieving in English reading skill. A sample of 944 Malaysian ESL Form 1, 2 and 3 students, randomly selected from national-type schools, participated in the study. A test of English reading skill, consisting of 60 multiple-choice items was used. The Rasch Model analysis as well as selected descriptive statistics were used to answer the research questions. The results showed that students’ performance in English reading differed from one group to another, implying that gender did not exclusively influence student performance. Based on the findings, more sound and informed decisions on students’ performance in English reading skill and the most effective teaching methods can be made. Qualitative investigation of the factors behind high or low performance among these groups of students is also needed to further understand the influence of these factors on achievement and underachievement .

Deslocamento de abomaso em bovinos leiteiros
Authors: Colturato Luiz
Published: January 2021

During the transition period in dairy cows, characterized as being the interval of three weeks before and three weeks after calving, the animals are affected by the vast majority of diseases. In short, about 70% of the diseases affect cattle turned to milk production, occur during that time. Abomasal displacement is one of the diseases that can occur during this period and consists of one of the most frequent paratopies in dairy cattle, which culminates in costly economic losses, since there are additional costs with treatments, reduced milk production, loss of weight, increase in the interval between deliveries, disposal of the dairy product and, in some cases, the loss of the affected animal. In the vast majority of cases, the organ moves to the left side, thus characterizing the abomasum shift to the left (DAE), although it can also move to the right (DAD). The diagnosis consists of the synergism between history and clinical examination, and the auscultatory percussion of a metallic “ping” is highly suggestive of the occurrence of the disease. Nevertheless, it is stated as a definitive case of paratopy only through exploratory laparotomy. There are methods of clinical treatment and few invasive, although surgical therapy is the one that has the best results. This review seeks to list the factors responsible for the occurrence of paratopy, the clinical symptoms observed, methods of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of this abnormality in cattle.
Aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos, patológicos, diagnóstico, profilaxia e tratamento da hipocalcemia em bovinos: Revisão
Authors: Fabris Luan
Published: January 2021

Hypocalcemia is a relatively common metabolic disease in dairy cows during the transition period, a time when profound hormonal, anatomical and physiological changes occur in the animal body in order to prepare the female for delivery and later milk production. This can occur in two ways: the subclinical form, when the serum calcium values are below 8.5 mg / dL and the clinical form when the calcium values are below 5.5 mg / dL. The damage caused to dairy cattle is considerable, especially in the subclinical form of occurrence, in which the absence of demonstration of clinical symptoms makes diagnosis difficult. The disease usually occurs around 24 to 48 hours after delivery, where there is a decrease in circulating serum calcium levels, since there is a great demand for colostrum production and delivery. The clinical diagnosis is based on the animal's history and clinical signs, and by measuring the mineral in the blood. Clinical therapy with calcium-based solutions shows good results in the field when the diagnosis is quick and accurate. However, it is noteworthy that prophylaxis is the best option, improved by good nutritional management in the dry and transitional period, by monitoring the ECC, using anionic diets concurrently with the monitoring of urinary pH acidification. In addition, it has been cited as an alternative for the prevention of hypocalcemia, the provision of drench for periparturient cows as one of the prophylaxis alternatives to the disease. This review aims to list the etiology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prophylaxis of hypocalcemia in dairy cattle.

Pengembangan mesin otomotif masa depan adalah bagaimana menemukan solusi untuk mengurangi emisi gas buang yang dihasilkan dan konsumsi bahan bakar yang lebih hemat. Telah banyak dilakukan berbagai penelitian dengan tujuan untuk mengurangi emisi gas buang dan konsumsi bahan bakar salah satu yang banyak diminati adalah dengan menggunakan sistem injeksi air. Sistem injeksi air langsung maupun tidak langsung mampu menurunkan emisi gas buang serta konsumsi bahan bakar dengan pemilihan konstruksi dan posisi sistem injeksi air yang tepat. Sistem injeksi tambahan air/metanol dan air/etanol digunakan untuk memaksimalkan sistem injeksi yang hanya menggunakan air yang sulit menguap. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah metode eksperimen dengan menguji sampel campuran air/metanol atau air/etanol dan mengumpulkan data uji coba kemudian melakukan analisis data konsumsi bahan bakar dan emisi gas buang. Hasil penelitian menunjukan emisi gas buang mengalami penurunan nilai HC yang cukup signifikan pada sampel AE10 sebesar 90%, gas CO juga berkurang sebesar 69,7% dan CO2 berada pada nilai 14,50% dan AFR yang berada pada angka 14,7:1. Konsumsi bahan bakar meningkat seiring peningkatan perbandingan H2O atau air pada campuran. Namun dengan peningkatan konsumsi bahan bakar tidak membuat emisi gas buang juga meningkat dengan menggunakan sistem injeksi AM dan AE.

Published: January 2021

The article provides a philosophical analysis of the tropological theory of the history of H. White. The researcher claims that history is a specific kind of literature, and the historical works is the connection of a certain set of research and narrative operations. The first type of operation answers the question of why the event happened this way and not the other. The second operation is the social description, the narrative of events, the intellectual act of organizing the actual material. According to H. White, this is where the set of ideas and preferences of the researcher begin to work, mainly of a literary and historical nature. Explanations are the main mechanism that becomes the common thread of the narrative. The are implemented through using plot (romantic, satire, comic and tragic) and trope systems – the main stylistic forms of text organization (metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, irony). The latter decisively influenced for result of the work historians. Historiographical style follows the tropological model, the selection of which is determined by the historian’s individual language practice. When the choice is made, the imagination is ready to create a narrative. Therefore, the historical understanding, according to H. White, can only be tropological. H. White proposes a new methodology for historical research. During the discourse, adequate speech is created to analyze historical phenomena, which the philosopher defines as prefigurative tropological movement. This is how history is revealed through the art of anthropology. Thus, H. White’s tropical history theory offers modern science f meaningful and metatheoretically significant. The structure of concepts on which the classification of historiographical styles can be based and the predictive function of philosophy regarding historical knowledge can be refined.
The concepts of the subtle bodies in the ancient spiritual traditions
Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Scienсes of Ukraine, Danylova Т. V.,
Published: January 2021

The idea that humans are multidimensional, i.e., that beyond their physical body, humans have other, subtler bodies, through which they can interact with the universe, is very ancient. Understanding of a human as a complex multidimensional phenomenon laid the foundations for the development of many Eastern and Western esoteric schools. Contemporary spiritual teachers and researchers continue the ancient tradition. Each esoteric tradition describes a human and his/her bodies from different angles, and none fully describes it which is probably impossible. This paper aims at investigating the concepts of the subtle bodies in the ancient spiritual traditions.
S. Huntington and his concept of civilizations
Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Scienсes of Ukraine, Kychkyruk T. V.
Published: January 2021

Nowadays, the clash of civilizations is the greatest threat to world peace, and an international order based on civilizations is the surest measure to prevent world war. Huntington’s model of civilization offers a possible version of the geopolitical future of the world. The researcher emphasizes that it is very dangerous to ignore the very fact of the existence of civilizations, their inherent cultural identities, value systems, interests, preferences. Interpreting civilizations as the highest cultural entities that exist much longer than states, political systems, and classes, Huntington recognized the uniqueness of each civilization and their right to self-determination. The paper attempts to investigate the concept of civilizations elaborated by S. Huntington. The author used cultural-historical and integrative approaches.
L’adoption internationale
Authors: Denéchère Yves
Published: January 2021

In France, international adoption developed in the 1960s and became an important social phenomenon in the 1980s. During this period, successive regulations led to differences in the ways the interest of the French child and the foreign child were treated. This situation also challenged the established norms of the conjugal family. Adopting a foreign child made it possible to “make a family” differently, and gave French society new forms of the family to consider that both shaped and illustrated the evolution of family morphology. Adoptive families also participated in debates on the concepts of family, kinship, and parenthood, and they helped to make disabled children and so-called “children of color” more accepted.

Published: January 2021

The purpose of the study is to compare the length of the left and right feet, as well as the shoe size in 19 year old adolescents living in different geographical zones. Foot-measuring device was used to measure the length of the foot in 222 people living in various regions of Belarus and the Southern Urals. We assessed the size of shoes worn by girls and boys. The study was conducted at the same period of day in the interval from 12.00 to 13.00, in the same microclimate conditions (room temperature +20 C, relative humidity – 51%, air velocity – 0, 2 m/s. The findings obtained show an increase in the length of the foot in 19 year old girls compared to the average values in this age group. The girls living in the Grodno region had a 0.47 cm longer foot than the girls living in the Brest region and 0.5 cm longer than girls living in the Minsk region. There are differences in the size between the left and right feet for the girls living in the Grodno and Brest regions: for girls from the Grodno region, the difference is 0.04 cm, and for girls living in the Minsk region – 0.02 cm. The average foot length of 19-year-old girls living in the Grodno region of Belarus differs significantly (p<0.05) from the foot length of girls in the Southern Urals. The difference makes up 1.5118 cm of the right foot and 1.6384 cm of the left foot. The feet in the residents of the Brest region (right 1, 1330 cm, left-1, 1616 cm) is longer than that of 19-year-old girls in the Southern Urals. The difference in foot length between girls from the Minsk region and the southern Urals is 1, 0358 cm for the right foot, and 1, 0814 cm for the left. The feet of boys living in Belarus is longer than that of the boys from the Southern Urals for the right foot by 0.7921 cm and for the left foot by 0.8957 cm. 19-year-old residents of the Grodno region wear shoes of a larger size than the girls of the same age from the Southern Urals.
