In this paper, a method for constructing a toroid and its decomposition into convex pieces is considered. A graph of connection for 3-triangulable toroid is introduced in such a way that these pieces are represented by graph nodes. It is shown that connected, nonorientable graph can serve as a graph of connection for some of the toroids. The relationship between graphs that can be realized on surfaces of different genus and corresponding toroids is considered. Keywords: 3-triangulation of polyhedra, toroids, piecewise convex polyhedra, graph of connection

The publication is dedicated to the memory of N.A. Bogdanov (1954-2020), Doctor of Geography, Leading Researcher of the Laboratory of Geomorphology of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences, who participated in the preparation of materials and publication of abstracts on March 1, 2020. The article raises the question of the need for the development of universal geographic education, which forms the cultural appearance of a person and the scientific picture of the world of our era. The consequences of typical technical errors in working with the topographic plan are analyzed: the sides of the horizon are not indicated; north is specified with an error; the original high-quality materials were used incorrectly; magnetic north is indicated, but the year of the topographic survey is not indicated; supplemented topographic maps are superimposed on the historically previous topographic base. The changes in the current situation, according to the authors, are facilitated by the following tasks: to increase the number of hours of teaching geography at school; pay more attention to practical orienteering exercises; expand the selection of popular geographic literature to raise public awareness of the possibilities of classical methods and fundamental achievements of modern geography; and some others. Keywords: cartography, education, archaeological sites, interpretation, information

This study investigated the relationship between teaching styles of 30 grade 9 mathematics teachers and the achievement of their 1489 students. The Grasha Model of learning styles was adapted in the study. Results of the analysis indicated a significant relation between teaching style and student achievement based on students' highest mean percentage score. Approximately 39% of the total variance in students’ achievement is attributable to the difference between the teaching styles. Post hoc comparisons showed that students whose teachers exhibit the Expert style, as well as those whose teachers use a combination of teaching styles have significantly higher achievement scores than students whose teachers employ the Formal Authority style of teaching. Since favorable teaching styles were identified from this study among grade 9 teachers and students, a wider research on the association of teaching styles and student achievement in mathematics focusing on other grade levels is being put forward. This may also help determine at which grade level student achievement starts to decline and further identify effective teaching styles appropriate for each grade level. Pre-service teacher training and in-service teacher retooling may likewise be conducted to leverage academic learning by allowing teachers to discover their teaching styles and improve on them.

Climate change's influence on snowpack can significantly affect natural and anthropogenic processes. Water resources and agri-business, which depend on winter precipitation, are highly affected by variations in a snowbank and melting regimes. This paper demonstrates the comparison results of the snowpack thickness estimation in the LLP "North Kazakhstan AES" adopting distinctive techniques (quadratic, exponential, and linear functions) for assessing Fractional Snow Cover (SCF) and demonstrating Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) on the one hand, and in-situ perspective on the other. Between the 26–29 of February 2020, a field measurement was managed on the territory of 25,000 hectares. Accordingly, the thickness of the snowpack was surveyed at 560 points, and its density was measured at 70 points. Applying existing methodologies of SCF computation, it became apparent that the quadratic equation provides more reliable results at RMSE of 0.01 m, followed by linear -0.12 m and exponential -0.13 m methods. This work showed a strong correlation between snow height and SCF, namely the quadratic function in Northern Kazakhstan. Thus, we strongly suggest using Sentinel-2 MSI and the quadratic SCF estimation function for snow cover estimation, further spring flood forecasting, and other hydrological studies. Keywords: snow height, snow cover fraction, normalized-difference snow index, snow water equivalent, Sentinel-2 MSI, North Kazakhstan

The Sinjar Anticline (Mountain) is an outstanding structural and geomorphic feature in the northwestern part of Iraq. The anticline is a double plunging with almost E – W trend dividing the gently rolling plain in which it is developed into two parts, Al-Jazira Plain in the south and Rabi’a Plain in the north. The Sinjar anticline is asymmetrical with steeper northern limb (45 – 80)° and gentler southern limb (15 – 25)°, its length is about 80 km, whereas the width ranges between (9.25 – 12. 5) km. The oldest exposed rocks belong to the Shiranish Formation, whereas the youngest rocks belong to the Fatha Formation. Different geomorphological and structural forms were observed through interpretation of satellite images, geological and topographical maps of different scales, beside field observations. Among those forms are: Abandoned alluvial fans, radial, inclined, and cross-shaped valleys, whale-back shape, wind gaps, and parasitic folds. All these forms are good indications about the lateral growth of the anticline. Neotectonic measurements were carried to estimate the rates of upward and downward movements. These estimations were performed by measuring the elevation of the contact between the Fatha (Middle Miocene) and Injana (Late Miocene) formations at different selected locations on both sides of the anticline. Keywords: Sinjar anticline, lateral growth, neotectonic movements, wind gap, abandoned alluvial fans

Mental imagery and cognitive maps are difficult to study because these are so subjective and not easily observable. This exploratory study uses pixel counts to measure accuracy and confidence related to mental imagery. In this study 35 fifth grade students received an outline map of the continental United States on a standard-sized sheet of paper and asked to write state abbreviations as large as possible being 100% confident that the abbreviations would be within the boundary of the respective states. The response sheets were scanned. Adobe Photoshop was used to calculate pixel counts of the area of the abbreviations within and outside of the respective state boundaries. The ratio of In and Out pixel counts provided a measurement of Accuracy, while a ratio of In and Total State pixel counts provided a measurement of Confidence. More abbreviations were attempted for US states that had one or more sides present on the US outline map. The girls showed greater accuracy and higher confidence across all conditions. Similarly, there was a linear relationship between the number of reference sides and the confidence outcomes. The results provide proof of concept that pixel count measurements provide value to measuring mental imagery and spatial cognition.

Metacognitive success is one of the factors that positively affects problem solving skills. Identifying metacognitive failures in the problem-solving process is also important in recognizing the factors that will inhibit metacognitive success. In this study, it is aimed to reveal metacognitive failures of pre-service mathematics teachers in the process of given mathematical problems. The present research on investigated metacognitive failures of pre-service teachers in the process of problem solving is modelled as case study. Data collection was carried out in clinical interviews were conducted with the preservice teachers who were predicted to obtain rich data in accordance with the purpose, using the “think aloud” interview technique, among these pre-service teachers. As a result of the analysis of the data and field notes obtained from the clinical interview voice recordings, 8 different metacognitive failure behaviors were encountered; including “metacognitive mirage” two times, “metacognitive blindness” three times and “metacognitive vandalism” three times.

This work provides the results of the analyzed long-term trends for three air temperature categories, namely: average (Tavg), maximum (Tmax) and minimum (Tmin) on monthly, annual and seasonal bases for Alexandria. The aim was to examine possible climate changes in this famous City based on the results obtained from the analyzed trends. The study was based on examining (1) linear regression approaches, (2) trend magnitudes, (3) Mann-Kendall trend test and (4) extreme air temperature events. The air temperature data from Alexandria International Airport station were used over a period of 65 years (1957-2021). For all analyzed time series, the results showed statistically significant positive trends. The exception was for the monthly mean Tmax during January, February and December (negative trends), and March (No trend). The H1 hypothesis prevails for the three temperature categories, on different basis. Over the period of investigation, both the annual mean Tavg and Tmin rose at a rate of +0.02 °C/yr, while annual mean Tmax rose at a rate of + 0.008°C/ yr. In winter, the annual mean Tavg and Tmin had increasing trends at a rate of +0.02 °C/yr. The winter Tmax had a feeble increasing trend (almost constant), at a rate of only +0.0003 °C/yr. In summer, the three air temperature categories increased at a rate of +0.02 °C/yr, each. Extreme air temperature times were specified in this study on all bases for the three temperature categories. The findings of this study are thought to be a reliable indicator of the presence of climate change in Alexandria. Keywords: Alexandria, air temperature, climate change, trend analysis, extremes

This review is based on recent publications about the effects of sound, and more particularly of music, on several aspects of physiology. It has been known for a long time that music has effects on the brain and on the functioning of different organs. In recent years, several publications also described specific effects of music on the physicochemical mechanisms in the other organisms, bacteria, plants and animals. These researches being rather disparate in the methodologies used and the results obtained, they need to be classified. In this review, we summarize the studies and attempt to explain the cellular mechanisms involved, by considering the properties of the plasma membrane and its links with the extracellular and intracellular medium. This field of research is currently in full expansion, but still requires further studies to understand and go further in the possible applications, the precise molecular mechanisms of effects of music still remain to be clarified.
