An Application of Eye Movement Parameters Collected from Mass Market Devices for the Estimation of a Text Comprehension.

The growing interest in evaluating the reader's comprehension leads to the search for new methods that allow such estimation in real-time (or pseudo-real-time). This can be used for more effective educational processes and to adopt textual content for various purposes. The present study used the Oken Reader eye-tracking application (60 Hz) for mass-market devices to assess reading comprehension processes.

[Results of the multicenter controlled study of the hypolipidemic drug polycosanol in Russia].

Aim: To compare efficacy and tolerance of polycosanol vs besafibrate in patients with hypercholesterolemia (HCE).

Material And Methods: A multicenter controlled double blind randomised trial entered 113 patients with HCE. After 5 weeks of diet the patients were randomised into two groups.

[Influence of urbanization level on the lethal load and on the intensity of natural selection in the Turkmen population].

Dynamics of genetic load in aboriginal population of the Turkmen SSR was studied using two approaches to calculate "lethal" equivalents. Intensity and structure of natural selection were measured using the Crow's index and its components. All statistics indicated were determined using the data obtained in Ashkhabad city and in two rural populations of Ashkhabad region (Yasman and Nokhur) within the time interval prior to 60s and after 70s.

[Genetic structure of the population of Ashkhabad City of the Turkmen SSR].

Some genetical demographic characteristics of population of Ashkhabad city were studied by direct interviewing of women aged over 18 years. The influence of urbanization on the basic genetical-demographic indices was found, the indices being essentially different from those of rural population studied elsewhere. Analysis of intensity and the structure of marriage migrations showed considerable ethnic subdivision in Ashkhabad population and stability of marriage policy in an every ethnic group.
