Authors: Pozharkova I N 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
This article presents a model of a subsystem for performing practical tasks of an adaptive electronic learning resource (AELR) in the LMS Moodle environment. The authors consider the distinctive aspects of forming individual educational trajectories for the development of skills and abilities in studying the Control System Modeling course using the LMS Moodle instrumental apparatus. The paper presents an algorithm for developing the skills needed to perform the operations under study. The algorithm suggests step-by-step skill development through frequently repeated actions and gradually complicated tasks with the reducing time allotted for their solving. Further, the paper analyses experimental results concerning the introduction of the adaptive electronic learning resources into the educational process. It was found that higher involvement in the educational process and greater learning efficiency are observed in the experimental student group where the learning process was arranged through an adaptive electronic learning resource, as compared to the control group that participated in traditional classroom activities. It was also found that the application of the learning method using the adaptive electronic learning resources leads to statistically significant (at the level of 95% according to the chi-squared distribution) differences in the learning results.
Higher engineering education: traditions, regular and forced innovations
Authors: Andreev V V , Evdokimova O K , Gorbunov V I , Vasilieva L N 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
This paper focuses on the study of the features of distance learning at a university in light of modern requirements for higher engineering education and the traditions of the education in Russia. Education in Russia has always been understood not only as learning but also as enlightenment when the lecturer’s mission was not limited to teaching goals–it involved the moral and intellectual development of students. This research formulates and analyses a contradiction of the need to combine traditions of Russian education with a strengthening of the professional component of engineering education. The concept of «intelligence» is actualized as a desire for knowledge, humanism, selfless attitude to work and professionalism, high culture and moral qualities, developed sense of duty, social responsibility. Diversified personality development correlates with the concept of intelligence. In this regard, it is natural to turn to the transdisciplinary approach in the educational process in its expanded understanding as integration of not only the content and methods but also the forms of learning organization, as well as obligatory establishment of working contacts between lecturers of different disciplines. The paper formulates proposals for semi-formalized tests in force majeure conditions of distance learning. The authors of the paper conducted a questionnaire survey of students with different majors on the effectiveness of forced full distance learning caused by COVID-19 and analyzed its results. This provides the necessary grounds for predicting the possibilities and prospects of distance learning in the higher education.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
The game model of the competence management problem is discussed in this article, in which the players are the center and m of agents. The model is based on the formation by agents of their optimal strategies through changes (in accordance with their preferences) of basic solutions developed by the center. As basic solutions the center offers to agents solutions of the optimization problem of personalized competence management corresponding to optimal solutions of the generalized dual problem of network programming generated by it. These solutions are meet the best use of resources to maximize staff competencies. However, they were developed without taking into account the target settings of the center and agents. Agents themselves, or by entering into coalitions with other agents, adjust basic solutions or synthesize new ones based on them in accordance with their preferences. The center evaluates the basic and proposed by agents solutions according to its own criterion. The solution of the game is a solution developed by agents and delivering the maximum to a complex indicator of the effectiveness of solutions, formed taking into account the weights of evaluations of decisions of both the center and agents.

Abstract
The article assesses the use of digital technologies by students of higher educational institutions. As part of the study, we analyzed the indicators on the use of personal computers by students in different places, the use of computers with Internet access and the frequency of use of personal computers. It was found that, basically, students daily use personal computers with Internet access in places of residence, but this indicator in urban areas is higher than in rural areas. To eliminate the digital divide, it was proposed to introduce satellite Internet, which will increase the number of students living in rural areas using the Internet, as well as other areas of activity and industries located in rural areas or in remote areas will be provided with the Internet.

The tutorial methods and instruments should be changed as much as the tutor knowledge engaged in the tutorial process. To correct the old tutor staff experience they apply an additional education of inter-university environment. To re-prepare the tutor means to give them new knowledge of the Education 4.0. To re-educate the established tutors they apply soma andragogy methods to establish some new inter-subject connections in the tutor mind, which are included in the student preparation education plan. The technical disciplines tutor must be re-educated because there is a contradiction of the existing tutors capital and the time requirements. The continuous education through the entire life is the base component of the tutor occupation. There is a high school tutor re-education resource center ecosystem with some perspectives of high results of the Education 4.0. The additional tutor education specifics are explained with a base technical preparation.

Counterexamples and critical thinking formation

Published: December 2020

Abstract
It is beyond argument that the data stream surrounding us is just expanding with every passing day, and the amount of its new participants providing this or that information is rocketing hour after hour. And in many cases the information offered is highly controversial. Is it possible to learn how to systematize it, evaluate it for reliability, cut off materials that are not significant? Formation and development of critical thinking, to a certain degree, contributes to the solution of these problems. A lot of experts consider that critical thinking is if not fundamental, then at least key point to the society. It is difficult to believe that a specialist, for example, in the field of international trade does not possess critical thinking. How could he then analyze and interpret market trends, assess possible consequences of interest rate fluctuations or explain influence of some factors on production. The reason why people manage to do it is existence of critical thinking; moreover, it is impossible to imagine a well-educated person without such a feature. That is why people with critical thinking are so important for any society They have a whole set of skills in their arsenal–these are observation and the ability to make out case, undivided attention to study the information gained and the talent to apply analytical skills in a variety of situations. The article dwells upon the issue of interconnection between Mathematics and critical thinking. Contribution of teaching counterexamples in the course of mathematical disciplines to the formation of critical thinking has been studied.

Abstract
Cold spells have been associated with mortality from a few broad categories of diseases or specific diseases. However, there is a lack of data about the health effects of cold spells on mortality from a wide spectrum of plausible diseases which can reveal a more comprehensive contour of the mortality burden of cold spells. We collected daily mortality data in Guangzhou during 2010–2018 from the Guangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The quasi-Poisson generalized linear regression model mixed with the distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) was conducted to examine the health impacts of cold spells for 11 broad causes of death groupings and from 35 subcategories in Guangzhou. Then, we examined the effect modification by age group (0–64 and 65+ years) and sex. Effects of cold spells on mortality generally delayed for 3–5 d and persisted up to 27 d. Cold spells were significantly responsible for increased mortality risk for most categories of deaths, with cumulative relative risk (RR) over 0–27 lagged days of 1.57 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.48–1.67], 1.95 (1.49–2.55), 1.58 (1.39–1.79), 1.54 (1.26–1.88), 1.92 (1.15–3.22), 1.75, (1.14–2.68), 2.02 (0.78–5.22), 1.92 (1.49–2.48), 1.48 (1.18–1.85), and 1.18 (1.06–1.30) for non-accidental causes, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, digestive diseases, nervous system diseases, genitourinary diseases, mental diseases, endocrine diseases, external cause and neoplasms, respectively. The magnitudes of the effects of cold spells on mortality varied remarkably among the 35 subcategories, with the largest cumulative RR of 2.87 (1.72–4.79) estimated for pulmonary heart diseases. The elderly and females were at a higher risk of mortality for most diseases after being exposed to cold spells. Increased mortality from a wide range of diseases was significantly linked with cold spells. Our findings may have important implications for formulating effective preventive strategies and early warning response plans that mitigate the health burden of cold spells.
Oxygen-18 and carbon-13 isotopes in eCO2 and erythrocytes carbonic anhydrase activity of Finnish prediabetic population

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Complex human physiological processes create the stable isotopic composition of exhaled carbon dioxide (eCO2), measurable with noninvasive breath tests. Recently, isotope-selective breath tests utilizing natural fluctuation in 18O/16O isotope ratio in eCO2 have been proposed for screening prediabetic (PD) individuals. It has been suggested that 18O/16O fractionation patterns reflect shifts in the activity of carbonic anhydrase (CA), an enzyme involved in the metabolic changes in the PD state. To evaluate the applicability of the breath sampling method in Finnish PD individuals, breath delta values (BDVs, ‰) of 18O/16O (δ
18O) were monitored for 120 min in real-time with a high-precision optical isotope ratio spectrometer, both in the fasting state and during a 2 h oral glucose tolerance test (2 h OGTT) with non-labeled glucose. In addition, the BDV of 13C/12C (δ
13C) was measured, and total erythrocyte CA activity was determined. δ
18O and CA did not demonstrate any statistically significant differences between PD and non-diabetic control (NDC) participants. Instead, δ
13C was significantly lower in PD patients in comparison to NDCs in the fasting state and at time points 90 and 120 min of the 2 h OGTT, thus indicating slightly better potential in identifying Finnish PD individuals. However, overlapping values were measured in PD participants and NDCs, and therefore, δ
13C cannot be applied as a sole measure in screening prediabetes at an individual level. Thus, because the combination of environmental and lifestyle factors and anthropometric parameters has a greater effect on glucose metabolism and CA activity in comparison to the PD state, 18O/16O and 13C/12C fractionations or CA activity did not prove to be reliable biomarkers for impaired glucose tolerance in Finnish subjects.
This study was conducted under the clinicaltrials.gov ID NCT03156478.
Parametric study of position of an outrigger-belt system through pushover analysis
Authors: Gupta Aakash , Mohan Rajat , Podder Debabrata 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
This study revolves around the high-rise RCC buildings with lateral force resisting system (LFRS). While constructing a multi-storey building, it is necessary to survey various salient features such as lateral load resistance capacity and lateral stiffness. The LFRS is used to introduce the lateral force resistances in the building and the LFRS used for this study are core and outrigger-belt system. Since the core is applied to the whole building at once, thus application related to it are easier, but when another LFRS (outrigger belt system in this study) which is dedicated to a certain floor, is added in the building, then its position can affect the performance of the building. There has been a lot of theories regarding the optimum positions which show how the position of these storey dependent LFRS can affect the overall performance of the buildings. When a multi-storey building is prone to high intensity earthquake load or heavy wind load, the outrigger-belt and core system would resist the rotation and prevent excessive sway caused by lateral loads. Thus, if proper analysis is performed on the building for optimum position of these systems, then the overall performance can be increased significantly. For this purpose, the buildings of 20-, 25-, and 30-storeys are analysed by Pushover Analysis with two load patterns using Midas GEN. The study is also performed in buildings with different stiffness conditions to understand the overall behaviour of the building for optimum positions. A total of 285 building models are tested using two different load patterns. These buildings differ from each other in terms of position of outrigger, stiffness and number of storeys.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Alkali-activated binders (AAB) are considered as a promising sustainable future construction material, and promoted as an environmentally beneficial option when compared to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). Portland cement-based concrete is the most used material in the construction industry. In the production of OPC, harmful gasses like CO2, NO2, SO2 and specks of dust are discharged into the atmosphere due to calcination of limestone and combustion of fossil fuel. Hence in the present scenario, it has become an emphatic necessity to replace Ordinary Portland Cement based concrete with AAB based system (geopolymer) which is more sustainable. The characteristics of geopolymer composites are predominantly influenced by some of the variables such as temperature and time of curing, alkaline solution to solid binder ratio, water content, type of alkaline activators used, molarity of alkaline solution, chemical composition of aluminosilicate precursors etc. Although geopolymer systems are good in terms of durability and strength, the main issue faced for its less popularity in the field application is its low workability, poor slump retention and too fast setting.
The aim of this experimental study is to investigate the compatibility between modern generation superplasticizers (SP) and various alkali activated binder systems prepared using industrial wastes and the evaluation on the effect of alkali binder ratio (a/b) on the fresh properties of alkali activated binder (AAB) systems. Considering the practical implications, it is the need of the hour to develop a geopolymer mix setting in ambient condition. This study focuses on setting and flow behaviour of the alkaline activated composites of slag and fly ash in ambient condition only. The slag/fly ash ratios of 100/0, 75/25, 50/50 and 25/75by mass and alkali-to-binder ratios of 0.4 to 1 with an increment of 0.1 were used for the study. The type of superplasticizer used for the study is Sulphonated Naphthalene Formaldehyde (SNF) with dosages of 0%, 1%, 2% and 3%. The setting time and the flow of the paste were determined using vicat apparatus and mini slump cone respectively. The penetration resistance of the setting paste was also measured using vicat apparatus. The test results revealed that even though the setting time increase marginally with SP dosage, the use of SNF was not much effective in prolonging the setting time of alkali activated pastes. There was tremendous increase in the initial and final setting time for pastes with an increase in a/b ratio.
