Calculating the Future: The Historical Assemblage of Empirical Evidence, Benchmarks & PISA,
Authors: Popkewitz Thomas S. , Feng Jingying , Zheng Lei 
Published: May 2019

Purpose —Prominent at the intersections of national educational agencies, higher education, and international educational performance assessments are two reform standards: “benchmarks” determining optimal student performance, and “empirical evidence” for determining the quality of reform practices. These two notions are often taken as connecting policy and research to effective changes in many countries. The article examines the historical and cultural principles about educational change and its sciences embedded in these standards through examining OECD's PISA and the McKinsey & Company reports that draw on PISA's data. Findings/Originality/Value —First, the reports express salvation themes associated with modernity; that is, the promise of a better future through governing the present. The promise is to provide nations with data and models to achieve social equality, economic prosperity, and a participatory democracy. Second, the promise of the future is not descriptive of some present reality but to fabricate the universal characteristics about society and individuals. The numbers embody social and psychological categories about a desired unity of all students. Third, the “empirical evidence” of the international assessment entails a particular notion of science and “evidence”; one that paradoxically uses the universals in comparing and creating divisions.

Authors: Wilkinson Louise C. , Bailey Alison L. , Maher Carolyn A. 
Published: May 2019

Purpose Learning mathematics is a complex process, requiring many conceptual lenses and rich data sources to document and understand students’ construction of knowledge. The purpose of this article is both to introduce a unique database on students’ mathematical learning and to describe analytical techniques used to study students’ growth of the knowledge of mathematics and language. Design/Approach/Methods Our approach includes the following aspects: First, we describe a unique collection of video-taped recordings of longitudinal and cross-sectional studies of diverse, U.S. students, learning mathematics (Video Mosaic Collaborative, VMC). Second, we introduce our analytical methods, which utilize the database for collaborative study of students’ learning. These methods include video-narrative analyses that display fine-grained examinations of interactions among students who are solving engaging problems that require them to reason mathematically and to represent their understandings with language and non-language forms. These analyses, referenced as VMCAnalytics, demonstrate the accessibility and flexibility of the database to study relationships among students’ mathematics and language learning. Findings The findings generated are illustrated by two examples demonstrating the accessibility and flexibility of the database to study relationships between mathematics and language learning (mathematics register). Originality/Value The contribution of our work is illustrated by describing the rich database; employing a collaborative research approach; and signifying our understanding of relationships among students’ mathematical and language learning.

Published: May 2019

Purpose This study examines the career and educational search competencies (CESC), a capability which may be necessary for a successful transition from high school to work or postsecondary education, of students from Shanghai and Hong Kong. Design/Approach/Methods The data for this study was taken from the Main Study of PISA 2012 in Shanghai and Hong Kong. Regression analysis was used to examine the relative impact of different forms of career and educational exploratory activities on students’ CESC. Findings Results showed a consistent pattern of socio-economic inequality in student's self-reported CESC in the two Chinese cities, which was largely mediated by the family capital or resources. Besides, career and educational exploratory activities initiated by schools, enterprises or the students themselves were found to have significant positive associations with CESC regardless of socioeconomic status. Originality/Value The paper provides empirical evidence for enhancing students’ career search capacity through engaging in career exploration in the face of structural barriers. In light of this, the roles of schools, business sectors, and governments in students’ capacity building are discussed.

Introduction: Neonatal morbidity and mortality rates reflect efficiency of health services of a country. This study was conducted to identify the clinical profile, pattern of diseases and common causes of mortality and morbidity in neonates admitted to neonatology unit.
Methods: The study was conducted in Neonatal Unit of Karnali Academy of Health Sciences, Jumla for a period of one year from 1st May 2017 to 30th April 2018. Data of all admitted patients were reviewed and analyzed in terms of gender, gestational age, age at presentation, weight, cause of admission and their outcome. Diagnosis was made on clinical examination, radiological findings and laboratory investigations. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.
Results: Out of 153 neonates admitted during the study period, 2 were excluded because of deficient record. Full-term neonates were 122(80.7%) while preterm were 29 (19.3%). Low birth weight (LBW) babies were 32 (21.18%). Neonatal sepsis 91 (60.26%) was the most common cause of hospital admissions followed by meconium aspiration syndrome 21(13.9%) and prematurity 10(6.62%). Out of 151 newborns, 112 babies (74.1%) were discharged after improvement, 15(9.93%) left against medical advice, 13(8.6%) babies were referred to higher centers for intensive care and there were 9 (5.9%) mortalities and 2(1.3%) got absconded.
Conclusions: The majority of neonatal morbidity is due to sepsis, prematurity and respiratory causes. All these causes are preventable to some extent and, can be effectively treated in order to reduce morbidity and mortality.

The history and state-of-the-art of the studies of native iron in terrestrial and extraterrestrial rocks
Authors: Pechersky D. M. , Markov G. P. 
Published: May 2019

A brief review on the history of studying native iron in terrestrial rocks and meteorites is presented. The synthesis and systematization of extensive data on the distribution, composition, and grain size of metal iron particles in sediments, other terrestrial rocks, and meteorites obtained by thermomagnetic analysis with heating to 800 °C combined with microprobe analysis are described. The studies show that ironparticles in all the studied sediments typically have extraterrestrial origin. Based on the statistical analysis of the thermomagnetic data, a number of indications (statistical regularities) are proposed testifying to the overwhelmingly extraterrestrial origin of iron particles in sediments. The similarity of the formation conditions of terrestrial and extraterrestrial metal iron particles makes it possible to suggest a petromagnetic scheme for the structure of planets based on the distribution of metal iron in them.

An earthquake with magnitude 4.8 hit the vicinity of Mariupol close to the southern boundary of the East European Platform (EEP) on August 7, 2016. The main event was followed by the aftershocks with magnitudes ranging from 2.2 to 3.9 which lasted for five days. The region experiences external influence from the neotectonically active Alpine zone resulting in intraplate deformations, horizontal and vertical movements of the Earth’s surface, and seismicity. The sources of the main shock and aftershocks are located within the block bounded by the neotectonically active Maloyanisol, Kalmius, and Primorsky faults. A seismogenic structure traced by the submeridional Kalchik lineament zone is identified in the axial part of the block by the combined analysis of geological and geophysical data and visual interpretation of the satellite image. This neotectonically active zone hosts the epicenters of the main event and most of the aftershocks.
Approximation approach in various modifications of the method of linear integral representations
Authors: Stepanova I. E. , Kerimov I. A. , Yagola A. G. 
Published: May 2019

The specificity of applying the approximation approach to solving the linear and nonlinear inverse problems of geophysics, geodesy, and geomorphology is discussed. Within the paradigm proposed by V.N. Strakhov, practically all geophysical problems can be reduced to the systems of linear (and, in some cases, nonlinear) algebraic equations. The method of integral representations is the main one for implementing this approach.The application of various modifications of the method of linear integral representations in the spaces of arbitrary dimension is analyzed. Based on the combined approximations of the topography and geopotential fields, it is possible to determine the optimal parameters of the method for solving a broad range of inverse problems of geophysics and geomorphology and to most fully use the a priori information about the elevations and the elements of the anomalous fields. The method for numerical solving the inverse problem on the distributions of carriers of mass equivalent in terms of the external field in the ordinary three-dimensional space and in the four-dimensional space is described.
The use of parallel computing for the high-resolution determination of earthquake source parameters
Authors: Fomochkina A. S. , Bukchin V. G. 
Published: May 2019

Alongside the determination of the focal mechanism and source depth of an earthquake by direct examination of their probable values on a grid in the parameter space, also the resolution of these determinations can be estimated. However, this approach requires considerable time in the case of a detailed search. A special case of a shallow earthquake whose one nodal plane is subhorizontal is an example of the sources that require the use of a detailed grid. For studying these events based on the records of the long-period surface waves, the grids with high degree of detail in the angles of the focal mechanism are required. We discuss the application of the methods of parallel computing for speeding up the calculations of earthquake parameters and present the results of studying the strongest aftershock of the Tohoku, Japan, earthquake by this approach.

Published: May 2019

Peat cores sampled from different climatic zones are studied. The petromagnetic and microprobe methods are used to find peat layers enriched with cosmic dust. It is established that the behavior of saturation isothermal remanent magnetization (SIRM) of peat deposits from the zones where the aeolian transfer of terrigenous particles is negligible can be used for studying the dynamics of the fall of cosmic matter on the Earth’s surface. The cosmic dust flux can be conditionally divided into the background and burst components. Here, the background flux of cosmic dust varies cyclically. The characteristic times of these cycles are about 100 years. The cyclicity in the background flux of cosmic material most clearly manifested itself in the interval of 1200 to 500 years ago. The most significant burst in the influx of cosmic material (by an order of magnitude above the background) is revealed in the layer that was formed about 5000 years ago. The microprobe studies established that the mineralogical content of cosmic dust differs between the background and burst fluxes.
Analysis of the conditions for the occurrence of "the voice of the sea" using infrasound observations in marine waters

Published: May 2019

We study the conditions for the occurrence of "the voice of the sea" in the infrasound range can occur and determine its parameters from infrasound measurements in the Black Sea water area conducted in 2011 and 2016 and in the water area of the Sea of Okhotsk in 2017. To this end, we compared the observations of different parameters (mean correlation, spectra of acoustic arrivals, direction and phase velocity) of the high-frequency infrasound (1–10 Hz), recorded in Katsiveli (Crimea) in 2011 and 2016. We performed a detailed study of the wind conditions in the Black Sea water area during the measurement period, as well as the conditions for the propagation of acoustic waves along the direction of their arrivals.
In both cases the atmospheric vortices in the direction of the arrival of infrasound were detected, which caused changes in wind velocity vector above the sea surface. The infrasound recorded in 2011 was caused by the interaction of two differently rotating atmospheric vortices over the sea. In 2016, a vortex was observed to the West from the registration point. The possibility of generating "the voice of the sea" due to the rotation of the wind velocity, which causes a nonlinear interaction of surface waves propagating in opposite directions to each other, and the formation of their 2nd harmonic in the form of a standing surface wave is discussed.
From the analysis of the wind speed and wind direction profiles along the infrasound arrival path, as well as the acoustic pressure fields calculated by the parabolic equation method for the effective sound speed profiles in the direction of infrasound propagation, the most probable areas of infrasound generation were determined. In both cases these areas coincided with the zones in which the wind speed drops to zero, and the direction of the wind changes to the opposite.
An example of simultaneous detection from one direction of the microbaroms with frequencies 0.2–0.3 Hz and "the voice of the sea" with a higher frequency of 5.5 Hz is given.

Published: May 2019

At the well preserved Yubileynoe VMS deposit (South Urals), sulfide breccias and turbidites contain abundant tellurides represented by hessite, coloradoite, altaite, volynskite, stutzite, petzite, calaverite as well as phases of intermediate solid solution tellurobismuthite – rucklidgeite. There is three generation of tellurides were highlighted: 1) primary hydrothermal tellurides in the fragments of chalcopyrite and sphalerite of chalcopyrite-rich black smoker chimneys; 2) authigenic tellurides in pseudomorphic chalcopyrite and veins of chalcopyrite after fragments of colloform and granular pyrite; 3) authigenic tellurides in pyrite nodules. Authigenic tellurides are widespread in pyrite-chalcopyrite turbidites. In sulfide turbidites and gravelites with fragments of sphalerite-pyrite, pyrite-sphalerite paleosmoker chimneys and clasts of colloform and fine-grained seafloor hydrothermal crusts, primary hydrothermal and authigenic tellurides are less common. Siliceous siltstones intercalated with sulfide turbidites contain pyrite nodules, which peripheral parts contain inclusions of epigenetic tellurides. It is assumed that the source of tellurium for authigenic tellurides were fragments of colloform pyrite and hydrothermal chalcopyrite of pyrite-chalcopyrite chimneys, which dissolved during post-sedimentation processes. The main concentrators of tellurium in clastic ores are pseudomorphic chalcopyrite, which inherits high contents of Te, Bi, Au, Ag, Co, Ni, As from the substituted colloform pyrite, and varieties of granular pyrite, containing microinclusions of tellurobismuthite (Bi, Te), petzite (Au, Ag, Te), altaite (Pb, Te), coloradoite and hessite (Ag, Te).
Morphological structure of plains subject to ground subsidence on the basis of mathematical morphology of landscapes approach
Authors: Sadkov S. A. 
Published: May 2019

Possibility for landscape pattern modeling was demonstrated for areas characterized by active ground subsidence in the eastern part of the Middle Russian Upland (the Kursk Region) as a case study, based on the mathematical morphology of landscapes technique. Applicability of this approach for the case study area was substantiated. The investigation revealed objective difficulties caused by complex morphological pattern of the area compared with the previously proposed canonical models (in terms of the landscape science). The simultaneous occurrence of morphometrically and physiographically different types of the depressions was considered with subsequent analysis of particular types. Significant differences in morphometric characteristics of forested and meadow depressions as well as low areas without morphologically distinct depressions (so-called “wet spots”) have been found by the application of the variance method. Correspondence of the meadow depressions mean radius sample distribution with log-normal distribution and of the “wet spots” one with normal distribution have been revealed. The forested depressions mean radius sample shows correspondence with both types of statistical distributions.
