The use of interferon drugs against COVID-19 is based on С level of evidence and analogies with efficacy against other coronaviruses. The interferon inductor meglumin acridonacetate (Cycloferon) has an advantageous safety profile and pharmaco-economic advantages, which makes it possible to consider its probable use against SARS-CoV-2. In this review, both the evidence of the effectiveness of interferons against coronaviruses and the arguments in favor of the effectiveness of Cycloferon against the same pathogens are systematized.

This means that student must apply knowledge and skills from some to the new situation, from one area to another, not directly, but generalised, seeing similarity or analogy between them.

The use of analogies in teaching can significantly enhance its efficiency. Therefore, it is important for future teachers to master the basic skills of the successful use of analogies even during their pre-service education. The paper presents the results of a research conducted on the sample of students, future teachers, with the aim of measuring their tendency to spontaneously use analogies in the situations in which they needed to explain the meaning of certain concepts. The task of the respondents was to write down, at their own discretion, explanations of certain concepts related to life

Purpose This study reviews the construct of analogy as an individual communication mode, examining its relationship with cross-understanding in knowledge-diverse teams. The authors theorize that analogy use enhances team information processing beyond mere communication frequency through bridging knowledge differences across team members.

We report on a series of transfer learning experiments in game domains, in which we use structural analogy from one learned game to speed learning of another related game. We find that a major benefit of analogy is that it reduces the extent to which the source domain must be generalized before transfer. We describe two techniques in particular, minimal ascension and metamapping, that enable analogies to be drawn even when comparing descriptions using different relational vocabularies. Evidence for the effectiveness of these techniques is provided by a large-scale external evaluation, involvin

Educators are constantly looking for effective teaching strategies, which can engender a favourable conceptual change in students within a constructivist paradigm. Teaching science with analogy could be one of such instructional strategies found effective in motivating students by providing them with familiar and tangible visual stimuli taken from the students‘ world to provide a basis for bridging and promoting associations between a known and an unknown realm. In this way, a complex, abstract concept can be made simple and interesting by reducing or eliminating students‘ misconceptions and a

The framework for reasoning by analogy which we use (called Basic APS) contains three major components -the finding of analogies (analogy matching), the construction of analogical plans, and the application of the plans to guide the search of a theorem prover.

An important stage in the policy process involves deciding what strategy is to be adopted for implementation so that the objectives of the policy are met in the best way possible. A Policy Implementation Strategy (PIS) adopts a broad view of implementation, which is argued to transcend formulation and decision-making, thereby offering a more realistic view of the policy process. Governmental decision-makers are often faced with having to choose one PIS amongst several possible alternatives, at varying cost levels.

Pupils come to physics lessons with some scientifically wrong ideas, sometimes referred to as misconceptions but often just misplaced conceptions; correct in some contexts but not in others. It is often difficult to change these misconceptions. Analogy has long been used to aid understanding of scientific concepts. However, the jump between analogue and target is sometimes too great, possibly because the similarity of the features compared is not significant enough. To improve mapping of similarities, bridges can be used which are part way between the analogue (anchor) and target. The anchor u

Many methods for design have been explored as the engineering community seeks to increase the efficiency, quality, and novelty of innovation. Some design methodologies are well equipped for use with any problem; others are best suited for specific domains or applications. Recent studies have developed two new independent methods for design. The first, WordTree Design-by-Analogy, uses a graphical structure of related words to help identify far-field analogies that have relevance to a given problem. The second method, Transformation Design, describes the mechanics and characteristics that drive

Abstract:
How much do schools differ in their effectiveness? Recent studies that seek to answer this question account for student sorting using random assignment generated by central allocation mechanisms or oversubscribed schools. However, the resulting estimates, while causal, may also reflect peer effects due to differences in peer quality of non-randomized students. We exploit universal random assignment of students to high schools in certain areas of South Korea to provide estimates of school effects that may better reflect the effects of school practices. We find significant effects of schools on

Abstract:
In this paper we discuss several pervasive myths and misperceptions about teams and teamwork. We also introduce an evidence-based framework for moving beyond these myths and misperceptions. We shared several statements about teamwork to over 1,300 working adults. On average, across all the myths and respondents, 62% of respondents agreed with the myths we presented, 21% were uncertain, and only 17% disagree. This suggests that over 80% of respondents either endorsed, or expressed uncertainty about, myths relating to fundamental aspects of teamwork. Given the pervasiveness and lack of clarity s
