Legal Basis Of The Organization And Investigation Of Oun’s Security Activities
Authors: Sposib D.P.
Published: February 2020

The article defines the legal basis for the organization and conduct of investigative activities of the Security Service of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. Attention is drawn to the content of the constituent documents (instructions and resolutions) that governed the procedure for detention, questioning, analysis and systematization of the information received. It was established that according to the internal procedure for organizing the activities of the SB OUN, investigative activity was considered the second after intelligence, a component of counterintelligence protection. For example, in one of the instructions for the Volyn referendum of the OUN SB «Fighting Sexuality and Provocation» it was pointed out the need for purposeful counteraction to the NKVD-NKDB agent. Two dominant areas of work were clearly identified - the prevention and disruption of shares of Soviet special services; conducting their own ideological work in order to raise revolutionary sentiment among the population. The instructions «What a SB officer should know in the fight against an agent» outlined the procedural aspects of investigative actions during the interrogation of Soviet agents. A mandatory requirement was to find out the location of the military units, their command staff, the location and plans of recruiting military recruits and other strategic military facilities, including those under construction. It was found that the organizational forms of conducting investigative actions by Ukrainian nationalists were borrowed from the Soviet NKVD-NKDB bodies, but were modified in accordance with the requirements set by the leaders of the UN Security Council. The practice of investigative activity has led to the separation of two specific types of interrogation: with the «head» (the use of persuasion, logical techniques); with a «hand» (force interrogation with the use of physical coercion, torture). The ideological component was an important part of the interrogation process. The interrogation of the suspect was to be carried out exclusively by the investigator, who had previously been interested in the case, collected operational materials and more. It was a natural rule that allowed the results of the investigation to be achieved. Most of the instructions given were based on Soviet counterparts and were modified to effectively counter the detained NKVD-NKDB staff.

The decisive attitude towards physical and moral means of coercion was a significant lack of investigative actions of the OUN SB. Physical torture became natural, as evidenced by the transcripts of the suspects’ interrogations, and most of these cases ended in death.
Organizational And Legal Conditions For The Realization Of Member’s Right For Information In LLC And ALC
Authors: Vasylieva V.V.
Published: February 2020

This article defines the right to information as an important component of the corporate rights of a company member, on the security of which the effective exercise of its other competencies depends. The author states that the right to information is ensured by the statutory obligation of the company to storage a certain list of documents related to the activities of the company. The Art. 43 of the LLC provides a list of documents that the company is obliged to keep such as: documents related to the foundation of the company and the founding documents and changes thereto; documents on creation of branches, representative offices of the company (in case of their creation); documents related to the issue of the securities and documents certifying the ownership of the company to the property; documents regulating the activities of the company bodies and changes thereto (regulations, instructions, etc.); documents related to the work of the bodies of the company (general meeting, executive body, supervisory board): protocols, orders, orders; documents in which the results of the company’s economic activity are directly reflected: annual financial statements, documents of annual reports submitted to the relevant state bodies, accounting documents; documents from third parties regarding the company: audit reports and results of other audit services. As a general rule, the executive body of the company is responsible for keeping the documents, and the chief accountant (if assigned) - for the accounting documents and financial statements.

Due to the latest updates in the legislation of Ukraine, the participant is guaranteed with the right to receive copies of documents required by him from the company. The right to information is also ensured by establishing the responsibility of officials for not providing information or providing false information about the activities of the company. This right is protected by applying to the court for compulsory in-kind performance.

Published: February 2020

The Communisation about change on toponymy map in Kamyanets’-Podil’s’ky during the 1920s – early ХХІ century. Within the first 20 years of Soviet rule, most microtoponyms that did not fit into the ideological system of the Communist Party were renamed – appeared the names of party and military leaders of the USSR, the ideologists of the communist movement. During the next 30 years, some of those objects were renamed again due to the unprecedented scale repressive movement and different kinds of executions of Soviet leaders. After World War II, Communisation toponymy held mainly by the new street names, instead of renaming existing ones. Since the beginning of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the loss of dominance of the Communist Party ideology, starts the reverse process – decommunization. Primarilyold name was returned to the historic streets of Kamyanets’-Podil’s’kyin 1990 over 1992-1995. De-communization held by renaming streets of the new city, which bore the names of communist leaders. The new wave of decommunisation is associated with Revolution of dignity and the Law of Ukraine«On the condemnation of Communist and National Socialist (Nazi) totalitarian propagation and ban their symbols». During this period, toponymic objects included in the list of those subject decommunization given new names. If the situation Kamyanets’-Podil’s’ky, streets and lanes provided the names of the dead patriots during the Revolution of dignity and Russian-Ukrainianwar in Eastern Ukraine.
DECOMMUNISATION, YELISAVETGRAD AND THE THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY
Authors: Chornyi Oleksandr
Published: February 2020

Kirovograd is the regional centre in Ukraine in 1939 – 2016, which bore the name of an odious leader of the CPSU (b) S. M. Kirov (Kostrikov) (1886 – 1934). Kirov city was renamed by this title during the formation of the Kirovograd region in 1939, which was listed on maps USSR in 1934 – 1939.The city was called Zinovievsk in 1924 – 1934. Kirovograd city of Kirovograd region was renamed the city Kropyvnytskyi on 14 July 2016. The historical name of this city is Yelisavetgrad.The research is an attempt to show the complicated and controversial process of decommunization of Kirovohrad – one of the two regional centers in Ukraine, which necessarily had to change the name of the Law of Ukraine “On the condemnation of Communist and National Socialist (Nazi) totalitarian regimes in Ukraine and the prohibition of propaganda of their symbolism”, which commenced on 21 May 2015. Since the problem of the renaming of Kirovohrad at the time of the adoption of this law was not new to residents of the regional centre, the author based on newspaper articles and personal memoirs recreate the story discussion about renaming the city, which continued in 1989 – 2016.The researcher identifies several periods in the discussion above, that was in the city between the supporters of the idea of the return the historical name and those townspeople who fought for the right to name Kirovograd by the new Ukrainian name. The author identifies negative tendencies that crystallized between opponents in the debate, which, in his opinion, in the current political conditions prevailing in Ukraine, harm to anyone who seeks to build a European, democratic and highly cultured country.

The author disagrees with the opponents' thesis that the name Yelisavetgrad is a threat to national security as it perpetuates the subject of the Ukrainian lands being part of the Russian Empire, and considers that there are other real threats, such as the lack of Ukrainian bookstores in the city, the state program and public publishing policy, the mass exodus of young people to study or work abroad, etc.

Aportes para la comprensión diferenciada en el acompañamiento a las personas y comunidades víctimas de minas antipersonal en Colombia
Authors: Henao Orozco Ánderson
Published: February 2020

La peculiaridad del conflicto armado colombiano ha sobresalido por la degradación de sus estrategias bélicas. Un ejemplo de ello es el uso de minas antipersonal y/o de artefactos explosivos, cuyo objetivo no es asesinar, sino producir discapacidad. Sin embargo, para las víctimas, el empleo de estos artefactos no solo representa profundas resignificaciones de su cuerpo, sino que la existencia de estos explosivos en el territorio o, incluso, la sola sospecha de su presencia es suficiente para transformar el sistema de relaciones y significados que llenan de sentido la vida individual y comunitaria.

Published: February 2020

El propósito de este artículo, producto de la reflexión de sus autoras sobre experiencias de investigación e intervención desarrolladas en distintos escenarios, es poner en consideración algunas posibilidades de intervención psicosocial que ofrecen las prácticas narrativas en contextos de violencia sociopolítica. Para esto, se ubica metafóricamente la tensión entre la estrategia y la poesía social, como un marco conversacional; este constituye, a su vez, un escenario de intervención estético posibilitador de la emergencia de nuevas historias y la construcción de identidades enriquecidas con las víctimas del conflicto armado, que les acerquen a futuros posibles y que promuevan una cultura de paz y reconciliación.
Corrective Treatment of Ectopic Eruption of Permanent First Molars: Case Report
Authors: Gutiérrez Marín DDS Natalia
Published: February 2020

Ectopic eruption of a tooth is the process in which a tooth emerges in an abnormal position. The first permanent molar is the tooth that most frequently presents ectopic eruption, mostly because it is retained below the distal contour of the second temporary molar.  The ectopic eruption may be reversible or irreversible, the latter of which requires corrective treatment to achieve correct eruption of the permanent molar in the arch. Treatments can be minimally invasive, such as the use of interproximal wedging, or more invasive orthodontic devices, such as brass wire, k-loops, Halterman devices, or wedging springs. The aim of this case report is to present two clinical cases where the ectopic eruption of permanent first molars is corrected using elastic separators. Conclusion:The elastic separators could be used successfully in cases of moderate or severe ectopic eruptions, not only in mild cases, as reported in most of the literature. The use of this technique does not require great cooperation from the patient, and it is low in cost.

Published: February 2020

El Paso de Portachuelo es un abra utilizado por una gran diversidad de especies de aves, bien sea como residentes o para movimientos estacionales o migratorios, en el cual se han reportado 32 especies de colibríes en la familia Trochilidae. Debido a esto nos planteamos como objetivo evaluar la dinámica del ensamble de colibríes que usa dicho Paso. Se realizaron salidas de campo mensuales desde abril 1990 hasta noviembre 1994, y desde junio 2010 hasta noviembre 2013. Se capturaron 14 685 individuos, pertenecientes a 38 especies. Las especies con poblaciones que presentaron mayores abundancias fueron: Heliodoxa leadbeateri y Sternoclyta cyanopectus. Con base en los resultados obtenidos, la comunidad de colibríes del área de Portachuelo se puede dividir en: seis especies altamente abundantes y que se observan durante todo o la mayor parte del año, siete especies que utilizan el paso durante la mayor parte del año pero con densidades bajas, cuatro especies que utilizan la zona de manera estacional y siete especies raras en las capturas debido al tipo de muestreo,  o  a que no presentan movimientos de desplazamiento y prefieren otros hábitats.

Published: February 2020

El género Liolaemus presenta una gran diversidad entre los tetrápodos actuales, al punto de corresponder al segundo género con mayor número de especies válidas descritas del infraorden Iguania. En este trabajo, se describe una nueva especie de lagartija arenícola perteneciente al subgénero Eulaemus, grupo de Liolaemus montanus, procedente de las lomas costeras de Quilca, La Chira y Ocoña, todos en la provincia de Camaná, departamento de Arequipa, Perú. Para determinar el estatus taxonómico de esta nueva especie, analizamos los caracteres morfológicos, moleculares y geográficos. Los caracteres morfológicos permitieron la caracterización y diagnóstico de la nueva especie, los moleculares fueron utilizados para realizar una inferencia bayesiana y los geográficos para determinar potenciales áreas de distribución. Este reptil se diferencia de las otras especies del grupo Liolaemus montanus en su tamaño pequeño a mediano, su conjunto de caracteres morfológicos, folidosis y patrón de coloración: es la única especie del género donde los machos tienen un patrón de manchas laterales de forma redondeada con borde oscuro e interior verde desde las axilas hasta la mitad del cuerpo. Del mismo modo, los resultados filogenéticos moleculares realizados con el gen Cyt-b indican que no tiene relación directa con las especies fenéticamente similares descritas para el grupo. Sin embargo, existe una relación con poblaciones geográficamente cercanas que permanecen taxonómicamente innominadas. Finalmente, se determinó que esta lagartija tiene un endemismo muy marcado y sus poblaciones son poco abundantes.

Published: February 2020

Introduction: The characteristics of coastal wetlands are the result of hydrogeomorphological interactions between the continent and the ocean, which cause an environmental gradient, hat results in different vegetation types such as mangroves, freshwater marshes, swamp forests and palm swamps. Objective: To characterize the hydroperiod and physicochemical variables of water and soil and their effect on the distribution of vegetation in the Sistema de Humedales El Castaño. Methods: A total of 11 permanent sampling units (UM) were established by defined strata: five in the mangrove, two in swamp forest, two in freshwater marshes and two in the flooded pasture. From May 2016 to October 2017 the vegetation was characterized and the water levels and physicochemical parameters (superficial, interstitial and groundwater) were sampled monthly for: salinity, and pH; and the soil for: bulk density, humidity percentage, and redox potential. Results: Mangroves are the closest to the sea, have the lowest diversity (H: 1.66) and species richness (14), they are dominated by Laguncularia racemosa and Rhizophora mangle, have the highest values of interstitial and groundwater salinity, (> 10.8 ups), remain flooded for 4 to 12 months per year, and have a redox potential of 14.57 mV. Immediately, inland, there are remnants of the swamp forests (H: 2.18 and 18 species), dominated by Pachira aquatica, with 5 ups interstitial and groundwater salinity, flooded from 0 to 6 months per year, with a redox potential of 119.07 mV. These forests are followed inland by freshwater marshes (H: 1.92 and 16 species), dominated by Typha domingensis with 6.1 ups interstitial and groundwater salinity, flooded for 5 to 8 months per year and a redox potential of 125.9 mV. Finally, furthest inland is the flooded pasture, a modified herbaceous wetland for cattle grazing (H: 3.44 and 50 species) dominated by Paspalum conjugatum, where interstitial and groundwater salinity is less than 0.5 ups, it stays flooded for 5 to 9 months and the redox potential is 151.23 mV. Conclusions: In each type of vegetation, the structure, composition, and diversity are different, with a high turnover of species that indicates a gradient defined by salinity. The vegetation in the SHC follows the patterns of typical organization of the tropical coastal wetlands, mangroves, swamp forests and herbaceous wetlands, in this case the freshwater marshes and flooded pastures. The factor that define the distribution of the vegetation is the salinity and the gradient that is observed are a function of the hydrological dynamics that depends on the mixing of marine and freshwater.

Published: February 2020

An optimal condition for extraction of soluble sugars from green coffee using water and a validated chromatographic method for its separation and quantification were proposed in this research. An orbital incubator shaker (OIS) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) were the 2 techniques used to extract soluble sugars. In such experiments, the variables: sample amount (300, 400, and 500 mg), time (30, 60, and 90 min), and temperature (30, 45, and 60 °C) were tested. The separation of sugars was performed in a chromatographic system (high-performance liquid chromatography refractive index detector [HPLC-RID]), which presented the selectivity for the analytes, a limit of detection of 0.020 g/L, a limit of quantification of 0.0625 g/L, and recovery rates greater than 95%. The repeatability and inter-day precision had low dispersion, RSD < 2.0% and < 3.0%, respectively. Sucrose content ranged from 0.65 to 2.39 g/L using an OIS and from 1.19 to 2.72 g/L by MAE, while glucose and fructose concentration varied from 0.08 to 0.12 g/L using both methods. The OIS technique is preferably indicated for extraction of soluble sugars at the following conditions: 500 mg of grounded green coffee, 90 min, and 60 °C. The proposed method for soluble sugar extraction and quantification may be applied in research laboratories and food industries since it is a low-cost and environment-friendly technique.

Finite groups with given weakly $\tau_{\sigma}$-quasinormal subgroups
Authors: HUSSAİN Muhammad Tanveer , CAO Chenchen , ZHANG Li
Published: February 2020

Let $\sigma=\{{\sigma_i|i\in I}\}$ be a partition of the set of all primes $\mathbb{P}$ and $G$ a finite group. A set $\mathcal{H} $ of subgroups of $G$ is said to be a complete Hall $\sigma$-set of $G$ if every non-identity member of $\mathcal{H}$ is a Hall $\sigma_i$-subgroup of $G$ for some $i\in I$ and $\mathcal{H}$ contains exactly one Hall $\sigma_i$-subgroup of $G$ for every $i$ such that $\sigma_i\cap \pi(G)\neq \emptyset$. Let $\tau_{\mathcal{H}}(A)=\{ \sigma_{i}\in \sigma(G)\backslash \sigma(A) \ |\ \sigma(A) \cap \sigma(H^{G})\neq\emptyset$ for a Hall $\sigma_{i}$-subgroup $H\in \mathcal{H}\}$. A subgroup $A$ of $G$ is said to be $\tau_{\sigma}$-permutable or $\tau_{\sigma}$-quasinormal in $G$ with respect to $\mathcal{H}$ if $AH^{x}=H^{x}A$ for all $x\in G$ and $H\in \mathcal{H}$ such that $\sigma(H)\subseteq \tau_{\mathcal{H}}(A)$, and $\tau_{\sigma}$-permutable or $\tau_{\sigma}$-quasinormal in $G$ if $A$ is $\tau_{\sigma}$-permutable in $G$ with respect to some complete Hall $\sigma$-set of $G$. We say that a subgroup $A$ of $G$ is weakly $\tau_{\sigma}$-quasinormal in $G$ if $G$ has a $\sigma$-subnormal subgroup $T$ such that $AT=G$ and $A\cap T\leq A_{\tau_{\sigma}G}$, where $A_{\tau_{\sigma}G}$ is the subgroup generated by all those subgroups of $A$ which are $\tau_{\sigma}$-quasinormal in $G$. We study the structure of $G$ being based on the assumption that some subgroups of $G$ are weakly $\tau_{\sigma}$-quasinormal in $G$.
Noise reduction at a low-head vertical-drop spillway
Authors: Pepper Andrew
Published: February 2020

Nappe vibration and noise generation are more usually associated with spillway gates, but can occur in fixed crest concrete weirs with vertical drops. The paper describes the problem at a site where the noise from a weir created a potential problem for a new residential development. Model testing of various options to reduce the noise is described, along with the physical works on site that reduced the noise to acceptable levels. The results can be used as a guide for designers of low-head spillways at reservoirs as well as at river weirs.

Portland cement stabilisation of Canadian mature fine oil sands tailings
Authors: Wang Junming , Guo Yu , Shang Julie Q
Published: February 2020

Mature fine tailings (MFT) are waste suspended in large on-site ponds after bitumen extraction from oil sands. This study investigated the effectiveness of Portland cement binders on the stabilisation of MFT. Laboratory tests were performed to investigate the effects of the curing period (7, 14 and 28 d) and cement dosages (1, 5, 10 and 15 wt%) on the geotechnical properties of MFT, including solid contents (water contents), undrained shear strength and Atterberg limits. The results indicate an increase in all these properties of MFT with cement dosages. The increase in the solid content of MFT is mainly attributed to cement hydration. The undrained shear strength of MFT mixed with 10 and 15% Portland cement increased to 7·65 and 15·5 kPa at 28 d curing, respectively, from virtually 0 kPa. The strength gain of the stabilised MFT is due to the internal formation of reticulate and fibrous structures, mainly calcium silicate hydrate gels, which is confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and X-ray diffractograms. SEM analysis also indicates that the aggregated nature of the MFT fabric is more significant with more cement addition. The results of this study provide much needed insights for potential applications of Portland cement in MFT stabilisation.
Strength and swelling properties of a waste tire textile fiber-reinforced expansive soil
Authors: Abbaspour M. , Narani S. S. , Aflaki E. , Moghadas Nejad F. , Mir Mohammad Hosseini S. M.
Published: February 2020

Expansive soils are problematic for their relatively low load bearing capacity and extensive swelling-shrinkage deformations. Therefore, treatment of such soils is often considered to be necessary prior to construction. This paper investigates the potential of reusing waste tire textile fibers (WTTFs), a byproduct of the treatment process of end of life tires (ELTs), as reinforcement materials for treatment of expansive soils. To that end, mechanical reinforcement of sodium bentonite by WTTF inclusion has been evaluated through a set of standard compaction, direct shear, Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), California Bearing Ratio (CBR), and swelling-consolidation tests. Six different WTTF contents – that is, fc = 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% were used and investigated. It was proven that WTTFs can improve the shear strength and UCS parameters. Swelling deformations of the soil were demonstrated to reduce by as much as 44%. At low WTTF contents, CBR was enhanced marginally. However, this parameter decreased at high WTTF contents. Therefore, it can be concluded that WTTFs can be used as economical reinforcement materials in expansive soils to enhance the strength parameters, mitigate the swelling properties, and address an environmental concern regarding WTTFs.
Response of concrete buildings with steel shear walls to near- and far-field earthquakes
Authors: Salimbahrami S. Reza , Gholhaki Majid
Published: February 2020

The research reported in this paper was aimed at studying the effect of higher modes and degrees of freedom on the estimation of displacement, velocity, acceleration and shear forces in reinforced concrete buildings with steel plate shear walls during earthquakes. Modelled building storey displacements were found to be conservatively distributed during far-field earthquakes in low- and mid-rise buildings with elastic behaviour as well as in high-rise buildings with linear and non-linear behaviour. In the case of low- and mid-rise structures, it was found acceptable to apply the base shear induced by the far-field earthquake rather than that of the near-field earthquake. However, for high-rise buildings, it was found that non-conservative results were obtained if far-field base shear was used instead of near-field. On the other hand, the patterns of velocity and acceleration distribution were affected by the higher modes.
Problems of the Criminal Law Assessment of Involvement in Prostitution and the Organization of This Activity Through the Use or the Threat of Violence
Authors: Gribunov Oleg , Nebratenko Gennady , Bezruchko Evgeny , Millerova Elena
Published: February 2020

The authors examine the specific features of criminal law assessment of involvement in prostitution and the organization of this activity through the use or the threat of violence. At the beginning, they stress the urgency of counteracting the social phenomenon of prostitution, analyze the very concept of «prostitution», its debatable and problematic aspects, because it is impossible to offer a correct qualification of criminal actions connected with prostitution (crimes under Art. 240 and 241 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) without determining the boundaries of providing sexual services specifically referring to the term «prostitution». It is concluded that the key problem for determining the scope of sexual actions described by the term «prostitution» is the lack of an official definition of this term in Russian legislation as well as a wide variety of services in the modern sex industry. The authors state that the understanding of prostitution as a historical social phenomenon as a situation when a woman provides sexual services to different men by performing sexual acts with them for previously discussed material compensation is outdated and does not reflect the multiple dimensions of modern prostitution. While researching the issues of qualifying criminal acts connected with prostitution and involving the use or the threat of violence within the framework of this article, the authors have analyzed the work of both Russian and foreign scholars and studied examples of investigation and court practice. They examine the problems of legal assessment of criminal law categories «violence» and «the threat of using violence» regarding publically dangerous actions connected with the involvement in prostitution and the organization of this activity. The authors present the criteria of differentiating between corpus delicti where such actions are criminally punishable and other corpus delicti, as well as the cases that require qualification for multiple crimes. The results of this research allowed the authors to work out and present recommendations on qualifying criminal actions connected with prostitution and involving the use of the threat of violence.

Published: February 2020

We are now at the onset of Fourth Industrial Revolution, thus, Education 4.0 requires more innovative and more engaging pedagogical strategies to develop globally-competitive and functionally-literate learners. Teachers must continue to innovate strategies and approaches to make Science teaching more engaging, more fun and more collaborative. This two-group quasi-experimental action research seeks to explore the effects of the developed AGHAMIC Action Approach (A3) on the conceptual understanding on matter of Grade 6 pupils. The study involved 23 pupils in the control group taught using traditional method of instruction (TMI) and 24 pupils in the experimental group taught using the A3 in a public elementary school in Zambales, Philippines for the school year 2019-2020.  Pretest and posttest were administered before and after the application of the intervention. The study found out that use A3 and TMI improved the conceptual understanding of the pupils. However, pupils exposed to the use of A3 yielded a higher gain score compared to the use of the conventional approach of teaching.  Science teachers may utilize the AGHAMIC Action Approach to improve pupils’ conceptual understanding in science.
TEKNOLOJİK İLERLEMENİN İSTİHDAM YARATMADAKİ ROLÜ VE ÖNEMİ: TÜRKİYE ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: CENGİZ Sibel , ŞAHİN Afşin
Published: February 2020

Teknolojik ilerlemenin ve yeniliğin işsizliğe yol açacağı beklentisi Klasik İktisadi Okula kadar uzanmaktadır. Bununla birlikte Klasik İktisat Okulu temsilcileri teknolojik işsizliğin uzun süreli olamayacağını ve telafi edici mekanizmalar yoluyla iş kaybının dengeleneceğini de vurgulamışlardır. Çalışmada teknolojik ilerlemenin istihdam üzerine etkileri Türkiye ekonomisi için 1990-2018 yılları için analiz edilmekte ve bu gelişmelerin işgücü tasarruf ederek işsizliği mi artıracağı yoksa telafi mekanizmasının devreye girerek işsizliği azaltacağı mı Quantile Regresyon yöntemleriyle tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. İşsizlik oranı bağımlı değişken olarak alınmış, AR-GE harcamaları ve ekonomik büyüme bağımlı değişken olarak alınmıştır. İşsizlik ve AR-GE harcamaları arasında negatif yönlü bir gelişme bulunmuştur. AR-GE harcamalarındaki %1’lik bir artışın, işsizliği %5,73 oranında azalttığı görülmüştür. Buna karşın, ekonomik büyüme ile işsizlik arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmamıştır ve istihdam yaratmayan büyümeye işaret edebilir. Bu duruma neden olanın ekonomik büyümeyle birlikte işgücü tasarruf eden üretim yöntemlerinin kullanılması olduğu düşünülmektedir. Dolayısıyla Türkiye ekonomisinde, AR-GE harcamaları beklenildiği gibi işsizliği azaltırken, ekonomik büyümenin işsizlik üzerinde herhangi bir etkisinin olmadığı görülmektedir.
Quasi-periodic migration of single cells on short microlanes v1
Authors: Zhou Fang
Published: February 2020

Cell migration on microlanes represents a suitable and simple platform for the exploration of the molecular mechanisms underlying cell cytoskeleton dynamics. Here, we report on the quasi-periodic movement of cells confined in stripe-shaped microlanes. We observe persistent polarized cell shapes and directed pole-to-pole motion within the microlanes. Cells depolarize at one end of a given microlane, followed by delayed repolarization towards the opposite end. We analyze cell motility via the spatial velocity distribution, the velocity frequency spectrum, and the reversal time as a measure for depolarization and spontaneous repolarization of cells at the microlane ends. The frequent encounters of a boundary in the stripe geometry provides a robust framework for quantitative investigations of the cytoskeleton advancement and repolarization dynamics. In a first advance to rigorously test physical models of cell migration, we find that the statistics of the cell migration is recapitulated by a Cellular Potts model with a minimal description of cytoskeleton dynamics. Furthermore, we investigate whether the microlane tip shape has an effect on cell dynamics. Using LifeAct-GFP transfected cells and microlanes with differently shaped ends, we show that the local deformation of the leading cell edge in response to the tip geometry can locally either amplify or quench actin polymerization.

This protocol is used to generate accurate digital representations of neuron morphologies from a variety of brain regions and species. Each reconstruction captures the positions and thicknesses of the soma, dendrites and axon of a biocytin-filled cell within a slice of brain tissue. To generate the reconstruction we use an image stack containing ~200-700 serial 2D images that captures the full extent of the cell within the slice. We use the Vaa3D (Terafly) program with a Kazom’s Mozak user interface (Mozak for short) to visualize the 2D images in 3D. Once the stack is loaded in Mozak, our reconstruction is generated by placing nodes in 3D space. The placement of these nodes is dependent on the signal in the images. Our final output, an SWC text file (.swc format), contains many thousand rows. Each row contains a node ID, an x, y, z coordinate, radius value, neurite type, and parent node ID. After tracing is complete, we preform post processing to provide radius values, check for errors and consistency then the SWCs are uploaded into our Laboratory Information Management System.

Sociological Theory from Dialogic Democracy
Authors: Torras-Gómez Elisabeth , Guo Mengna , Ramis Mimar
Published: February 2020

Despite the long dialogical tradition both in Eastern and Western societies, in recent years the social dialogical turn is more and more evident in many domains of life. Citizens increasingly demand to have a saying in the seeking of solutions for their problematics, and advocate for a more democratic approach to science that fosters the inclusion of all voices and enhances the agency of citizens in social transformation. Therefore, global scientific research is progressively more oriented towards co-creation as a means to ensure social impact. In this context, social theory can provide the theoretical foundations to better address the societal challenges of concern, as well as the mechanisms to properly design research oriented to produce social impact, such as communicative methodology, and to monitor and evaluate such impact. Social theory would then serve its ultimate goal: to contribute to the improvement of societies. Sociology was born as part of the democracies to provide citizens with elements of analysis that would make it possible for them to make their decisions with the prior evidence of the consequences of each option. After a process of democratization, we return to the original sense, but now in a more democratic situation.
Objectiving of humanistic ideas in the culture of Ukraine in XVII century
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Ognieva T. K.
Published: February 2020

The article is devoted to the analysis of culturological processes in the period of formation of the first national revival of Ukraine in the XVII century. Unlike previous historical periods, a human being and nature become the object of artistic and aesthetic research; the desire for artistic transformation of the real world becomes the stimulus of literature and art development. The need for knowledge, the development of positions, forms and methods of liberation of human mind from a dogmatic-religious outlook is manifested in the secularization of Ukrainian culture in the seventeenth century. West European Renaissance made a significant impact on the change of world-view conception in Ukrainian culture. On the territory of Ukraine various, sometimes opposing, influences were mixed – those from Byzantium and Western European countries; therefore, national culture was formed at the crossroads of Eastern and European cultures. We can trace two main directions in which Ukrainian Renaissance was moving: firstly, transformation of Greek-Byzantine Slavic spiritual traditions in the circumstances of Catholic counterreformation and the formation of the church union, and the second – the perception and transformation of European humanism in the Renaissance period. The period that came after the Middle Ages comprehensively disclosed a human being both in social and aesthetical artistic aspect, and the movement of humanistic ideas in Western and Eastern Europe has led to a deeper interest in human personality. Ukraine did not erode this process, and gradually formed a new human ideal, based on individual culture, spiritual freedom, and redefined the purpose of man in the world. The complex political and socioeconomic conditions of the seventeenth century in Ukraine required special, progressive at that time, characteristics of the development of culturological tendencies. The broad cultural national movement, whose roots were in the resistance to Polish – gentry oppression and the struggle against the Catholic church, brought about flourishing of book printing, the spread of education and scientific knowledge and the rise of anthropocentric worldview in art and literature. An important aspect of Renaissance thinking is the desire to thoroughly explore the real surrounding world, which brings the path to science and education. It is these discoveries of the Ukrainian Renaissance worldview that are gaining momentum in the spiritual culture of Ukraine in the seventeenth century.
Semantic shift functional architecture

The article is devoted to the analysis of the functional architecture signification mode. The distinction between functional architecture and symbolic one is determined on the basis of Hegelian approach. This shift generates not only another way of organizing signifiers, but the emergence of a fundamentally different way of relations with the signified, which actually forms a marked semantic shift. Using strategies of semantic analysis to the material of G. Hegel’s aesthetics allows not only expand the horizons of applied semantics, but also understand the patterns of formation of art and aesthetic process in general. In our opinion, G. Child’s definition of monumental architecture as a criterion for the emergence of civilization (in the evolutionary sense of the term), requires Hegelian refinement concerning classic architecture. In the latter one, in comparison with the symbolic one, the following semantic shift is carried out: organization of syndicators already has a greater degree of freedom in it (even before the cultivation of the forms construction), and therefore their artistic transformation becomes possible. Also, the classic culture has a referent, and therefore it has a significant implementation structure. The measure of differentiation of the symbolic value and utilitarian one shows the possibility of its seniority in the logic of cultural development. Exchange measurements of buildings become possible only in the era of a high degree of cultural differentiation in general (and therefore the architecture remains in the conditions of redistribution, and not just as an exchange of goods). Also, for a long time it remained the subject of "demonstrative consumption". Consequently, functional architecture is the result of complex cultural synthesis, in contrast to the syncretism of the symbolic architecture cultural practice. Their organizational separation marks an important semantic shift that we have been trying to describe. In particular, the construction of the Egyptian pyramids of the Ancient kingdom as burial chambers testifies to the cessation of the existence of its own symbolic architecture, according to G. Hegel. It is in the aesthetic analysis of the differences in symbolic architecture that this classic of philosophical thought departs from the speculative nature of its absolute idealism and understanding of art as the first stage of an absolute spirit, as well as it opens the methodological perspectives of semantic analysis.
Problems and Prospects of Legal Regulation of the Status of Persons Contributing to the Administration of Justice in Civil Proceedings
Authors: Gorodnova O. N. , Makarushkova A. A.
Published: February 2020

Based on a comparative analysis of the norms of the procedural legislation of the Russian Federation, the paper discusses certain problems and prospects of legal regulation of the status of persons contributing to the administration of justice: expert, specialist, witness, interpreter, assistant judge, court clerk, as applied to civil proceedings.

The authors analyze modern approaches to the persons contributing to the administration of justice, considering, along with traditional subjects, such a procedural figure as judicial representative in a civil procedure, taking into account the latest changes and additions to the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, entering into force on September 1, 2019.

Based on a comparative analysis of the provisions of the arbitration and civil procedural laws, the authors of the paper point that the Civil Procedural Code of the Russian Federation lacks a separate chapter on legal regulation of the status of participants in civil proceedings, including those assisting in the administration of justice. This makes it difficult to establish the circle of such entities in practice. In this regard, they propose, by analogy with the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, to fix the circle of participants in the civil procedure in a separate chapter, revealing in detail and specifying the legal status in other articles of the Civil Procedural Code of the Russian Federation of other participants in the civil proceedings.

In the paper, the authors conclude that the judicial representative must be considered as an independent subject of the civil proceedings. Finally, this problematic issue can only be resolved by making appropriate changes and additions to the Civil Procedural Code of the Russian Federation.

It is noted that, despite the absence of special instructions in the Civil Procedural Code of the Russian Federation to other participants in the process, their list is not exhaustive and in fact, the circle of persons involved in the case is much wider. Such persons include court bailiffs and witnesses, whose legal status is currently debatable.
