Published: March 2024

В текущей эпохе цифровизации происходит неотвратимая трансформация образовательных парадигм, в частности в сфере иностранных языков. В современной России, примерно 30% вузов активно адаптируют методики дистанционного обучения для обучения иностранным языкам, согласно исследованию, проведенному Российским университетом дружбы народов в 2020 году. В данной статье проводится всесторонний анализ существующих методик и их адаптации к российским образовательным стандартам. Особое внимание уделяется исследованию качественных и количественных показателей эффективности применения дистанционных методик на основе мета-анализа 25 научных статей, индексированных в базах данных Scopus и WoS, а также анализа данных, собранных из 15 российских вузов. На основании данных, предоставленных Министерством науки и высшего образования Российской Федерации, 63% российских вузов начали процесс интеграции методик дистанционного обучения в 2019 году, и этот показатель вырос на 17% в 2021 году. Примечательно, что более 72% курсов иностранных языков в вузах используют смешанные формы обучения, которые включают как очные, так и дистанционные элементы. Подобный подход позволяет оптимизировать процесс обучения, как показало исследование Всероссийского научно-исследовательского института информационных технологий в образовании в 2020 году, где уровень удовлетворенности студентов составил 81%.
In the current era of digitalization, there is an inevitable transformation of educational paradigms, in particular in the field of foreign languages. In modern Russia, approximately 30% of universities actively adapt distance learning methods for teaching foreign languages, according to a study conducted by the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia in 2020. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of existing methods and their adaptation to Russian educational standards. Special attention is paid to the study of qualitative and quantitative indicators of the effectiveness of remote techniques based on meta-analysis of 25 scientific articles indexed in the Scopus and WoS databases, as well as analysis of data collected from 15 Russian universities. Based on data provided by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, 63% of Russian universities began the process of integrating distance learning methods in 2019, and this figure increased by 17% in 2021. It is noteworthy that more than 72% of foreign language courses at universities use mixed forms of education, which include both full-time and distance elements. Such an approach makes it possible to optimize the learning process, as shown by a study by the All-Russian Research Institute of Information Technologies in Education in 2020, where the level of student satisfaction was 81%.

Published: March 2024

The article analyzes scientific approaches to the definition of the terms “infrastructure”, “customs infrastructure”, “infrastructure in the field of customs services”, including in the context of functional aspects. The study purpose is to form theoretical approaches and analyze the categorical and conceptual apparatus of the infrastructure in the field of customs as an institution of customs service, the consumers of whose services are the state, society and business. The problem urgency is due to the ongoing changes in the external and internal environment of customs administration: the service orientation global vector of public administration. The study objective is to form the author’s definition of the concept of service customs infrastructure, reflecting the target function, economic, functional, technical and social characteristics. The study concept is based on the theory of service-oriented customs administration in the field of customs services and on methodological approaches of the scientific school of the Russian Customs Academy. Based on the types’ analysis of customs services, the interests’ system of customs sphere subjects, a systematic approach to the concept under study has been substantiated, and a structural model of infrastructure in the field of customs services, classification of its elements according to vertical and horizontal principles have been developed. The analysis of regulatory and legal documents defining the standard requirements for the objects of production and information technology infrastructure of the automobile checkpoint is carried out. The results obtained allow us to propose the author’s definition of infrastructure in the field of customs services in a narrow and broad sense. Conclusions have beendrawn about the directions of improving the infrastructure in the field of customs services based on a service-oriented approach.
Investment climate assessment standards’ impact on the gross regional product growth of the Russian Federation subjects
Authors: Sergeyev L. I. , Samsonov A. V. 
Published: March 2024

The study purpose is to identify the relationship between the provisions’ implementation of the regional investment standard and the growth of the gross regional product (GRP) in the Russian Federation subjects. The average values’ statistically significant deviation of the GRP dynamics in 11 pilot regions of the Russian Federation and other subjects of the Russian Federation as an introduction result of regional investment standards developed by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives for the Promotion of New Projects (ANO “ASI”) together with the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation has been summarized. It is established that there is a statistically significant difference in the dynamics of the average GRP of the pilot and other regions of the Russian Federation, due to the implementing process of the provisions of the ANO “ASI” Standard. The provisions’ introduction of the ANO “ASI” Standard since 2012 has caused a statistically significant difference in the dynamics of the average GRP of the pilot and other regions of the Russian Federation. In fact, a significant outstripping dynamic of macroeconomic indicators for the development of pilot regions has not been achieved. The revealed situation testifies to the uneven movement of financial flows in the Russian Federation: about 45.8%of the profit of organizations falls on Moscow and St. Petersburg (2021). Despite the lack of outstripping dynamics of GRP and investments in fixed assets in comparison with the average value in the Russian Federation, the pilot regions managed to ensure a more stable dynamics of GRP in 2020. Despite the presence of partially lagging macroeconomic indicators’ dynamics of the pilot Russian Federation regions in comparison with the average values for the Russian Federation, the introduction of regional investment standards is an important condition for effective interaction between territorial authorities and a wide range of investors.

Abstract. Final students are required to have preparation in future career planning to avoid difficulties in job search later. The difficulty in finding a job has a relationship with the gap between the competencies needed and the competencies possessed by students due to the lack of readiness of new graduates in career adaptation. It is known that there are only twenty percent of college graduates who work in accordance with their study program while the rest work outside the study program. This indicates that final year students need to be equipped with an understanding of career adaptability for self-adjustment in the work environment. Many factors can influence, one of which is social support. This study aims to determine how much influence social support has on career adaptability in final year students in Bandung. There were 206 final year students as respondents who participated in this study. The measuring instruments used are Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS) for Career Adaptability and The MOS-Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS) for Social Support. The research design used is quantitative with causality method and the sampling technique used is convenience sampling and the analysis technique used is simple regression. The results of statistical tests obtained the influence of social support on career adaptability in final year students in the city of Bandung with a contribution of 10.2% with a significance value of 0.00 <0.05.

Background: Glucocorticoids are often used to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the efficacy and safety of glucocorticoids in the treatment of ARDS caused by COVID-19 are still controversial; therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis of the literature on this topic. Methods: Four databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science) were searched from the establishment of the databases to August 16, 2023. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies that compared glucocorticoid versus standard treatment for ARDS caused by COVID-19 were included. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) checklist and the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions were used to evaluate the risk of bias. Review Manager 5.4 software and STATA 17.0 were used for meta-analy-sis, and the relative risk (RR), mean difference, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were then determined. Results: A total of 17 studies involving 8592 patients were evaluated, including 14 retrospective studies and 3 RCTs. Sixteen studies reported data on all-cause mortality. The results of the meta-analysis showed that glucocorticoids did not reduce all-cause (RR, 0.96; 95% CI 0.82–1.13, P = .62) or 28-day (RR, 1.01; 95% CI 0.78–1.32, P = .93) mortality. Subgroup analysis showed that only methylprednisolone reduced all-cause mortality. No matter whether glucocorticoid use was early or delayed, high-dose or low-dose, long-term or short-term, no regimen reduced all-cause mortality. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, length of hospital stay, hyperglycemia, and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP); how-ever, glucocorticoids increased the number of ventilator-free days. Conclusions: Although methylprednisolone may reduce all-cause mortality from ARDS caused by COVID-19, this effect was not found with other types of glucocorticoids. At the same time, glucocorticoid use was associ-ated with more ventilator-free days, without increasing the incidence of hyperglycemic events or VAP. Con-sidering that almost all of the included studies were retrospective cohort studies, more RCTs are needed to confirm these findings.

BACKGROUND
Although electric injuries to human tissue are uncommon in contemporary times, their occurrence implies a high degree of morbidity and mortality. These are primarily attributed to the impact of electric current on cellular membranes, resulting in the disruption of ionic changes.

OBSERVATIONS
In this paper, the authors present the case of an electric burn on the skull in a 50-year-old male, treated by utilizing trepanation and daily sterile wound dressing. This approach differs from the conventional treatment involving tissue grafts.

LESSONS
Although the techniques utilized in this case are not commonly chosen as the initial treatment option, they have demonstrated effectiveness. Despite the absence of tissue flaps or grafts, satisfactory coverage of the skull cap was achieved.
Ruptured pial-pial collateral aneurysm associated with left internal carotid artery occlusion: nuances of surgical management. Illustrative case
Authors: Pascual Juan Silvestre G , Guo Eddie , Yang Runze , Langdon Kristopher D , Lama Sanju , Sutherland Garnette R 
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND
Carotid occlusion often leads to the formation of a collateral network. On rare occasions, due to hemodynamic influence, aneurysms can occur. Here, the authors describe a 69-year-old male presenting with intracerebral hemorrhage secondary to a ruptured aneurysm within such a network.

OBSERVATIONS
The patient presented to the emergency department with an altered level of consciousness. Imaging showed a left temporal lobe hemorrhage extending into the ventricle, subdural hematoma, and evidence of contrast extravasation. Digital subtraction angiography revealed an occluded left internal carotid artery with the left middle cerebral artery territory reconstituted by flow through an external carotid artery–internal carotid artery anastomosis. The latter was formed by the superficial temporal artery–superior orbital artery, as well as pial-pial collaterals from the posterior temporal artery. Notably, a 4-mm aneurysm arising from the pial-pial collateral network was identified. Surgical intervention involved a left temporal craniectomy and aneurysm excision, with special attention paid to preserving the anastomotic flow through the superficial temporal artery.

LESSONS
This case underscores the importance of recognizing and preserving collateral vascular pathways in cases of carotid occlusion with an associated aneurysm. It emphasizes the necessary balance between managing aneurysm risk and maintaining cerebral perfusion, highlighting the need for careful preoperative planning and intraoperative caution.

Indigenous women and birthing parents in Canada disproportionately face mistreatment in their maternal healthcare experiences due to systemic anti-Indigenous racism, ongoing harmful impacts of settler colonialism, and power differentials inherent in many healthcare relationships. Indigenous midwives and doulas are important leaders in resisting these conditions and reclaiming traditional Indigenous birth knowledge and practices. Ultimately, they work to uphold Indigenous self-determination and sovereignty. Grounded in an understanding of historical and current challenges regarding Indigenous maternal health, this qualitative study explored how best to situate oneself as a settler researcher and maternal health practitioner to support Indigenous maternal health in a culturally safe, anti-racist manner. In this article, key insights are shared from semi-structured interviews conducted with five prominent Indigenous scholars, midwives and community leaders. These consultants emphasized the central importance of intentional relationships in advancing the reclamation of traditional birth practices and providing culturally safe care, along with the indispensability of Indigenous midwives and doulas in these processes. Consultants also stressed the critical need for increased numbers of, and accessibility to, Indigenous practitioners in communities across the country. Settler practitioners are urged to understand the historical and contemporary impacts of settler colonialism, and the significance of building culturally safe, anti-racist relationships with their Indigenous colleagues and clients.
Forced Convection in Wavy Microchannels Porous Media Using TiO2 and Al2O3-CU Nanoparticles in Water Base Fluids: Numerical Results

<p>In the present work, attempt is made to investigate the performance of three fluid with forced convection in a wavy channel. The fluids are water, a nanofluid of 1%TiO<sub>2</sub> in a water solution and a hybrid fluid which consists of 1% Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-Cu nanoparticles in a water solution. The wavy channel has a porous insert with a permeability of 10 PPI, 20 PPI and 40PPI respectively. Since Reynolds number is less than 1000, the flow is assumed laminar, Newtonian and steady state. Results revealed that wavy channel provides a better heat enhancement than a straight channel of the same dimension. Porous material increases heat extraction at the expenses of the pressure drop. The nanofluid of 1%TiO<sub>2</sub> water provided the highest performance evaluation criteria.</p>
Neuropsychological and Fatigue Predictors of Driving Ability After Mild to Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury: A Meta-analysis and Pilot Study
Authors: Egeto Peter 
Published: March 2024

<p><strong>Background. </strong>Guidelines on return to driving after traumatic brain injury (TBI) are scarce. Since driving requires the coordination of multiple cognitive, perceptual, and psychomotor functions, neuropsychological testing may estimate driving ability. Further, the impact of somatic symptoms of TBI, including mental and physical fatigue, have rarely been considered on the relationship between neuropsychological test and driving performance. Two studies examined these issues: a meta-analysis to quantitatively review the literature on the relationship between neuropsychological testing and driving ability after TBI (Study 1), and a pilot study to explore the neuropsychological measures that may predict safe driving–based on the results of the meta-analysis–and extended the literature by examining how clinical and demographic factors affect the cognitive and driving relationship (Study 2). </p>
<p><strong>Methods. </strong>In Study 1, Hedge’s g and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using a random effects model. Analyses were performed on neuropsychological domains and individual tests. Metaregressions examined the influence of study design, demographic, and clinical factors on effect sizes. In Study 2, patients with TBI and healthy controls completed a neuropsychological test battery, questionnaires on clinical status, and a driving simulation. The correlations between neuropsychological test and driving performance was examined, and the effect of somatic symptoms on this relationship was examined using partial correlations. </p>
<p><strong>Results.</strong> Eleven studies were included in the meta-analysis of Study 1. Measures of executive functions had the largest effect size, followed by verbal memory, processing speed/attention, and visual memory; these patterns emerged both in analyses of neuropsychological domains and individual tests. Years post injury and age emerged as significant predictors of effect sizes. Study 2 confirmed many of the findings of the meta-analysis, and measures of executive functions, processing speed, verbal and visual memory, and attention were correlated with driving outcomes. Fatigue, sleep disturbance, and pain severity impacted the neuropsychological test and driving performance relationship. </p>
<p><strong>Conclusions. </strong>These studies provide initial evidence for the relationship between neuropsychological test and driving performance, and the effect of somatic symptoms in patients with TBI. The data provide impetus for future research examining the clinical application and predictive value of individual neuropsychological tests in driving assessments.</p>
