This work is devoted to incorporating specialized self-attention blocks into deep neural network-based models for detecting and quantifying damage across various components of wind turbines using images captured by unmanned aerial vehicle cameras. In our study, we introduce YOLOv8 backbone modification using a specialized self-attention mechanism, tailored to the specific characteristics of the input data. ...

Background:
Numerous studies have shown that indigenous populations experience poorer health outcomes compared to people with other backgrounds. However, the interpretation of these disparities remains challenging due to differences in living conditions and social environments, as well as by potential measurement-related biases. Little is known about whether the underlying mechanisms of mental health outcomes differ between ...

In this study, we (1) test whether a single vignette item can be used as a stimulus for several questions referring to different vignette aspects; (2) explore the development of vignette items so that they could be comprehended holistically. The Rasch-Guttman Scenario Scale (RGSS) methodology was used to develop a questionnaire on self-regulated learning (SRL). ...

Sequential recommender systems are an important and in-demand area of research. These systems aim to use the order of interactions in a user’s history to predict future interactions. The premise is that the order of interactions and sequential patterns play an essential role. Therefore, it is crucial to use datasets that exhibit a sequential structure ...

It has long been generally accepted in Political Science that distributed elite networks, rather than institutions, are crucial to the functioning of the Russian political system. One of the important factors in the formation of such networks is ethnicity. Of particular interest is the ethnic dynamics in those regions, where there is no dominant ethnic ...

The article deals with the processes in the religious life of the Altai people, the titular ethnic group of the Altai Republic. It is noted that there is an active process of formation of the national form of religion, called Burkhanism or White Faith, among the adherents of which two versions struggle for dominance. The first ...

Many sociologists drink wine, but hardly any write about it, at least for professional purposes. Sociological studies of wine are few in number, even in historically wine-producing countries, and wine matters remain ceded to other disciplines. The scholarly field of the ‘sociology of wine’ remains inchoate. Yet wine is an eminently sociological research object. This ...

The paper compares fertility parameters of two ethnic groups of Russia: Kabardians of the Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria (North Caucasus) and Russians of that region and the neighboring Stavropol region. This comparison allows an assessment of the specific aspects of inter-ethnic fertility differences that may persist among ethnic groups which have reached the final stages of ...

The purpose of this paper was to develop a new willingness to communicate measure that could be used cross-culturally. This paper first examines the factor structure of the existing willingness to communicate measure and determines that it no longer maintains factor structure. Then, it proposes items for a new measure, which it tests in samples ...

In the rapidly evolving domain of Recommender Systems (RecSys), new algorithms frequently claim state-of-the-art performance based on evaluations over a limited set of arbitrarily selected datasets. However, this approach may fail to holistically reflect their effectiveness due to the significant impact of dataset characteristics on algorithm performance. Addressing this deficiency, this paper introduces a novel ...

Exactly 20 years ago, Handelman (1999) developed the Adolescent Apathy Inventory (AAI). It is questionable if all the items of the AAI are still up to date, but it is a single instrument for the measurement of adolescent apathy. The goal of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Russian version ...

The paper deals with special characteristics of fertility in the post-Soviet North-Western Caucasus (Russia) and their possible causes. Using the example of Dagestan and the republics of the North-Western Caucasus, three distinctive traits of fertility are considered: a higher proportion of third and subsequent children compared to Russia as a whole; shorter intervals between first ...

Increased public awareness of environmental problems and the strengthening of diverse identities may lead to the emergence of “ethnic environmentalism.” These are movements that make environmental claims associated with the interests of an ethnic community. We develop this concept by examining protests in the Russian regions. Our findings suggest that ethnic identity facilitates environmental activism ...
