THE GENDER REGIMES AS REFLECTION OF POWER RELATIONS by Eleonora K. Skyba

“…Since many researchers noted that the content of gender identity in different historical and cultural contexts is changed, it sounds methodologically reasonable to study this problem on the dialectical position that allowed us to see that the basis of all social institutions is the «problem of ifference» justifying «the problem of domination». …”

You want peace ? Get ready for war...in cyberspace by Zbigniew Witkowski

“…Remaining in international law and domestic constitutional law in the blissful conviction of the legitimacy of persisting in a sphere of terminology that excludes or weakens at least the meaningfulness of the concept of "war" and abrogating it in favour of a softer-sounding concept of, for example, a "state of defence" and in the need to emphasise one's entirely peaceful attitude in international relations, ceases to have its hitherto undisputed justification. …”

Geoelectrical Characterization of Aquifer Precincts in Parts of Lapai, North Central Nigeria by MT Tsepav, SI Ibrahim, FA Bayegun

“…Some geoelectric characteristics of aquifer in parts of Lapai, Central Nigeria were evaluated using Wenner vertical electrical sounding (VES) method. Fifteen (15) VES points were occupied using G41 Geotron Resistivity meter with electrode spacing varying from 10m to 150m while a global positioning system (GPS) tracking device was used to locate the VES points. …”

Utilizing machine learning to predict hospital admissions for pediatric COVID-19 patients (PrepCOVID-Machine) by Chuin-Hen Liew, Song-Quan Ong, David Chun-Ern Ng

“…The RFE algorithm selected 12 highly predicted variables for COVID-19 hospitalization, including age, male sex, fever, cough, rhinorrhea, shortness of breath, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, body temperature, chest indrawing, and abnormal breath sounds. With external validation, Adaptive Boosting was the highest-performing classifier (AUROC = 0.95) to predict COVID-19 hospital admission in children. …”

In silico identification of switching nodes in metabolic networks by Mairet, Francis

“…A metabolite is considered as a switch if the fluxes at this point are redirected in a different way when conditions change. The soundness of ISIS is shown with four case studies, using both core and genome-scale metabolic networks of Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum. …”

Electrical conductivity in the mantle transition zone beneath eastern Central Asian Orogenic Belt revealed by geomagnetic signals by Yanhui Zhang, Yujia Hu, Mina Ma, Yuyan Zhang

“…This paper intends to obtain the deep structure beneath the eastern CAOB based on the geomagnetic depth sounding (GDS) method. First, the data of geomagnetic observatories in the study region are collected and processed, and the C-response curves are obtained by the bounded influence remote reference processing method (BIRRP). …”

The impact of Playdough games on the development of oral motor skills in preschool children with childhood apraxia of speech by K. Tychyna, N. Babych, Y. Lyndinа, O. Revutska

“…The following skills improved: transitions between articulatory positions, which helped children avoid coarticulation difficulties; planning of movement sequences; and smooth transitions between sounds and syllables. The practical significance of this study lies in the effectiveness of using Playdough games for significantly improving oral motor skills, movement precision, and concentration in children with childhood apraxia of speech, thereby reducing the need for additional speech therapy support…”

Peculiarities of Optoacoustic Excitation and Propagation of Plate Waves in Thin-Walled Оbjects by A. R. Baev, A. I. Metskovets, A. L. Mayorov, M. V. Asadchaya, A. V. Vorobey

“…The aim of the work was to investigate the peculiarities of excitation and reception of plate waves (PW) in single-layer and two-layer materials by pulsed laser radiation in relation to detection of cracks in them and estimation of layer thickness at one-sided sounding. A methodology has been developed and experimental studies of the influence of moving the area of laser generation of PW over the surface of dural samples relative to the crack simulator of different depth with the subsequent reception of the signal at a characteristic angle of inclination have been carried out. …”
