Foreign Prison Experience Resocialization of Prisoners
No full textAt the present stage, the analysis of foreign experience in the field of re-socialization of prisoners becomes relevant. One of the main objectives of this article is to consider the problem of the process of re-socialization of prisoners. Among the objectives of this article is to analyze the best foreign experience in this field. The author pays special attention to various types of social, psychological and pedagogical work with prisoners. As a result, the author analyzes modern social and psychological programs for prisoners, contributing to their successful re-socialization. In the process of writing the article used General scientific and private scientific research methods. The leading method of studying this problem is comparative analysis. The result of the analysis was a generalization of the author of the advanced methods of foreign practices in the field of the re-socialization significance of the results is confirmed by isolation of the author of the directions in the process of re-socialization of prisoners, which can be applied as best practices in the activities of the UIS Russia
Epitope mapping of the hemagglutinin molecule of a highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza virus by using monoclonal antibodies
No full textWe mapped the hemagglutinin (HA) antigenic epitopes of a highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza virus on the three-dimensional HA structure by characterizing escape mutants of a recombinant virus containing A/Vietnam/1203/04 (H5N1) ΔHA and neuraminidase genes in the genetic background of A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1) virus. The mutants were selected with a panel of eight anti-HA monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), seven to A/Vietnam/1203/04 (H5N1) virus and one to A/Chicken/Pennsylvania/8125/83 (H5N2) virus, and the mutants' HA genes were sequenced. The amino acid changes suggested three MAb groups: four MAbs reacted with the complex epitope comprising parts of the antigenic site B of H3 HA and site Sa of H1 HA, two MAbs reacted with the epitope corresponding to the antigenic site A in H3 HA, and two MAbs displayed unusual behavior: each recognized amino acid changes at two widely separate antigenic sites. Five changes were detected in amino acid residues not previously reported as changed in H5 escape mutants, and four others had substitutions not previously described. The HA antigenic structure differs substantially between A/Vietnam/1203/04 (H5N1) virus and the low-pathogenic A/Mallard/Pennsylvania/ 10218/84 (H5N2) virus we previously characterized (N. V. Kaverin et al., J. Gen. Virol. 83:2497-2505, 2002). The hemagglutination inhibition reactions of the MAbs with recent highly pathogenic H5N1 viruses were consistent with the antigenic-site amino acid changes but not with clades and subclades based on H5 phylogenetic analysis. These results provide information on the recognition sites of the MAbs widely used to study H5N1 viruses and demonstrate the involvement of the HA antigenic sites in the evolution of highly pathogenic H5N1 viruses, findings that can be critical for characterizing pathogenesis and vaccine design.

Problems of choosing optimal solutions for systems with random and non-random perturbations
No full textThe problem of choosing an optimal solution in stochastic optimization problem containing both random perturbations with given distributions and nonrandom perturbations about which only the regions of their possible values are known. As a criterion of optimality, the quantile criterion is used, i.e. The objective function value guaranteed with some given probability is optimised. This problem is closely connected with the problem of the construction confidence estimates for a statistically uncertain random vector that is a random vector with an incompletely known distribution. A concept of the generalized confidence set is used for statistically uncertain vector, and its properties are studied. The quantile stochastic optimization problem under incomplete information is solved by means of an optimal choice of the generalized confidence region. © 2017 Author(s)
Effects of dance-driven gymnastics practices on psychoemotional statuses of foreign female first-year students
No full textThe study profiles the psychoemotional statuses of the foreign female first-year students at Russian People's Friendship University (RPFU). Today the RPFU student population is 30% foreign coming from 155 countries of origin. It is highly important for this student group to make success in the social adaptation and learning process with no detriment to health. As reported by some studies, modern dance-driven gymnastics practices in the emotionally uplifting environments may be of highly positive effect on the individuals exposed to new social environments and stressors, as verified by the growing interest in and satisfaction with the educational process. Applied in the dance-driven gymnastics training model under the study were the following tests: standard WAM (wellbeing, activity and mood) questionnaire survey method; and the state and trait anxiety test method. The study data and analyses showed benefits of the dance-driven gymnastics training model as verified by the significant progress of the foreign female students versus their Russian peers in the WAM tests; and the psychoemotional status improvements in both of the groups. © 2018 Teoriya i praktika fizicheskoy kul'tury i sporta.

Cheerleading team formation based on general and special physical fitness levels
No full textObjective of the study was to identify the initial levels of the general and special physical fitness of female students and form a cheerleading picked team in the "Performance Cheer" divisions: Cheer Freestyle Pom, Cheer Jazz, and Cheer Hip Hop. Methods and structure of the study. The study involved the first-year female students of People's Friendship University of Russia (Department of Mathematics and Physics and Department of Philology). Based on the interview results, a control training session was conducted with the involvement of those female students who, prior to entering the university, had been engaged in various dance styles and different types of gymnastics, acrobatics or choreography. Results and conclusions. Only 29% (n=320) of those involved in the control training session (n=90) passed the tests. These female students were taken on the cheerleading team in the "Performance Cheer" discipline. The assessment of their general and special physical fitness levels became the basis for their distribution by three groups: Cheer Freestyle Pom, Cheer Jazz, and Cheer Hip Hop. Thus, out of 100% (n=90) of the female students recruited for the national team, 33% (n=30) were comprised of the women of one group, 80% (n=24) formed the first team, and 20% (n=6)-the reserve one. The general physical fitness levels of the female students of all three divisions turned out to be heterogeneous, which was associated with the versatile sports or dance activities performed before entering the university. It was also found that the special physical fitness levels of the female students of the Cheer Freestyle Pom and Cheer Jazz teams did not differ statistically significantly, as these divisions consisted of the female students who used to practice gymnastics or classical dance. As opposed to the Cheer Hip Hop team, these dance styles had some significant differences resulting from their specificity. © 2020, Teoriya i praktika fizicheskoy kul'tury i sporta.

Evaluation of origin-destination matrices based on analysis of data on transport passenger flows
No full textThe problem of reconstructing the origin-destination matrix for transport following fixed routes is studied. Estimates are based on statistics on passengers entering and leaving at each stop. Various models for estimating of origin-destination matrices are analyzed, including the entropy model and the generalized gravitational model. The properties of correspondences of duplicating and complementary routes are taken into account for comparing the models. © 2021 Author(s)
