Attentional Priority for Temporary goals: A replication and extension of Vogt et al. (2013)
Authors: Wentura Dirk , Wirth Benedikt Emanuel
Published: October 2024

Vogt and colleagues (2013) showed in three experiments using the dot-probe task that stimuli associated with current goals (induced by instructions) are attentionally prioritized. However, the exact nature of this prioritization remains unclear. The target location task employed in the experiments allows interpretation in terms of spatial attention and response-related processes; the target discrimination task – in contrast – allows unambiguous interpretation of effects in terms of spatial attention. In the present experiment, we replicated Vogt et al.’s procedure while varying the task in a between-participants design. We replicated Vogt et al.’s results in the location task and found a corresponding – albeit significantly smaller – effect in the discrimination task. Stimuli associated with current goals were thus prioritized with respect to spatial attention. However, the reduced effect size in the discrimination task suggests that in the original experiments, response-related processes were at play in addition to attentional processes.
The Vienna School of Comparative-Systematic Musicology: On the Construction, Function, and Discursive Career of a Narrative in the Historiography of Austrian Musicology
Authors: Sharif Malik
Published: October 2024

The concept of the Vienna School of Comparative Musicology, later renamed as Vienna School of Comparative-Systematic Musicology, plays an important role in received historical accounts of musicology in twentieth-century Austria (used as shorthand for the various political entities to which the territory of post-World War II Austria belonged). The concept was developed in the second half of the twentieth century, most notably by Walter Graf (1903–1982) and Franz Födermayr (1933–2020), both former professors of comparative(-systematic) musicology at the University of Vienna. Proponents of this concept point to Richard Wallaschek (1860–1917) and especially Robert Lach (1874–1958) as the founders of the school and emphasize the synthetic character of the Vienna School, combining approaches from the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. The Vienna School of Comparative-Systematic Musicology can be analyzed as a historiographical narrative, as a coherent story of how a particular branch of Austrian musicology developed over time, mostly as a kind of “Whig history.” This paper examines key aspects of this narrative: Who contributed to its construction? How did the narrative evolve over time? Which scholars, institutions, and types of research are part of the narrative? Which are excluded or appear only as supporting characters? How is this particular form of comparative-systematic musicology represented in relation to other forms and schools of (comparative) musicology? What discursive function(s) did this narrative serve? How was it received? And to what extent has it remained relevant in the present?
Desirability Bias in Turnover Intention: A List Experiment in Vietnam
Authors: Huong Bui Thu , Yamada Kyohei
Published: October 2024

This paper reports findings of a list experiment conducted in Vietnam to examine the extent to which civil servants underreport their intentions to leave their jobs. Since openly revealing an intention to leave the organization may result in unfavorable working conditions or discomfort, respondents may be reluctant to report their intentions when asked directly. In February 2023, we conducted an online survey of 719 public sector employees, which included both a direct question about turnover intention and a list experiment. We find that 15.07% of respondents reported turnover intention in the list experiment, compared to 7.15% in the direct question, suggesting underreporting. We also find that the difference between these two estimates is greater for female respondents than for male respondents, implying a higher desirability bias among female civil servants.

Random and spontaneous urban growth is the result of massive natural population growth, as it is in all developing countries. As for our study air, it also results from the unloading of the mother city of Constantine to the satellite city of El-Khroub, which gave urbanization the power to take over its vast environment, An uneven distribution of public facilities in the city’s major districts, as well as traffic jams. This work attempted to determine the suitability of urban land for the location of public facilities in the city. It should be noted that land suitability assessment is a major factor in urban planning and management. Our land adequacy assessment is subject to the AHP model, calculating the weighting of various criteria including physical, socio-economic, environmental and urban. The final adequacy analysis revealed the proportion of land most suitable, estimated at 3.52% of the total area, covering mainly fallow land. The results of this study provide a detailed mapping of urban development potential, integrating both existing data and future projections.
State of Democracy in Central Europe after the Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Authors:   Matej Bel University in Banska Bystrica. Slovakia, Husenicova Lucia
Published: October 2024

The central question of this article is why Russian military aggression in Ukraine has failed to strengthen support for democracy and cooperation with partners in some Central European countries. In addition, the article examines the link between military conflict in the immediate neighbourhood and the crisis of democracy. Based on a review of the extensive literature on the crisis of democracy, the article integrates findings from several opinion polls conducted in Central European countries. Looking primarily at the Visegrad countries, clear patterns emerge in responses and attitudes towards Russia. We can see the influence of the political discourse in these countries, the narratives used by political elites and, more recently, war fatigue and economic consequences. The article argues that a military conflict in the vicinity of democratic countries exacerbates the crisis of democracy. The information warfare that is part of this conflict and the susceptibility of the political elite to the dissemination of enemy propaganda undermines trust in democratic institutions and democracy.

Published: October 2024

This article contains research in the field of sociological, historical, cultural thought, devoted to the study of various aspects of urban culture and its holistic analysis. The study of urban culture has been one of the most studied complex and relevant topics in the system of humanitarian education for a long time. It is impossible to fully understand and assimilate modern culture beyond the history of the city, including all its aspects, customs and traditions, which, first of all, actualize the values of the past. Modern reality seems to require an idea of a city that combines theoretical and applied aspects that allow the implementation of urban development programs, consideringthe metaphysical, cultural-historical, socio-cultural levels of understanding urban reality. In many cities of Kazakhstan, there is no single program of cultural development, moreover, in the understanding of officials and townspeople, there is no understanding of the culture of the city as a holistic way to be in the unity of the results of all the activities of its inhabitants. Despite numerous works devoted to the study of urban culture in various aspects, the scientific literature still lacks a comprehensive analysis of the role of urban culture in Kazakhstani society, reflecting theholistic picture of the city’s participation in cultural life and the role of this participation in the framework of socio-cultural processes. The main goal of the article is to consider the importance of the city as a cultural phenomenon from a scientific point of view, to draw conclusions that will help take into account cultural factors in its scientific research and management using theoretical provisions and methods

Education is as a social institution that ensures social stability and integration. Additionally, education plays a role in the socialization of individuals, including their acceptance and execution of social roles and statuses. This article raises issues of the development of education as a social institution and as a factor in the for-mation of human capital. The authors present and analyze key theoretical approaches to defining the role and significance of education in shaping human capital. The concept of “human capital” is examined within the context of contemporary Kazakhstani society. Human capital is viewed as an investment in personal devel-opment and social welfare, encompassing not only material success but also improvements in quality of life. The authors analyze the main trends in the development of higher education in Kazakhstan, provide statistics on government educational grants for higher education, and the allocation of quotas across regions of the country. The state, as a regulator, consciously implements policies to support socially vulnerable populations and improve the lives of youth from densely populated areas of the country. This work was carried out as part of a project funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Grant No AP14971423 “Sociocultural adaptation of students studying under the “Serpin” program to the university space”).

The importance of tolerance in the multicultural reality of the modern world cannot be overestimated. Toler-ance is essential in the conceptual foundations of many states’ domestic and foreign policy. Against the back-ground of developing various models of tolerance in the world, there is also a reverse trend towards reviving traditional and religious values. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) promotes its position on the importance of traditional values and tolerance in shaping the conceptual foundations of the country's domestic and foreign policy. The UAE Federal Cabinet has approved a National Tolerance Program that promotes brotherhood and peaceful coexistence between different cultures and religions and fully supports traditional values. The article analyses the conceptualization of tolerance, its distinctive features, value bases and potential for implementa-tion in the Middle East region. The methodological and theoretical basis of the research was the work related to approaches in interpreting different views on understanding the concept of tolerance in the UAE. The arti-cle concludes that the balance between universal and traditional values of the Islamic world is the main fea-ture of the national tolerance program. It is also expected that, given the growing influence of the UAE in the Middle East, this model of tolerance may become widespread and become a new basis for consolidation in the Middle East.

In the article the basics of the affiliation between philosophy and translation in connection with modern developments and changes in philosophy and translation were examined. The authors highlight the main reasons contributing to the deep transformation of humanitarian meanings, which are of particular interest and relevance. The purpose of the study is a philosophical view of the changing factors in the translation problem. The explanation of the concepts of “philosophy and translation” was reviewed. The authors interpret translation as a category of social philosophy. The main growth points for thoughts about the transfer of one of the central concepts of linguistics to the core of a broad interdisciplinary scientific discussion and its elevation to the category of social philosophy were reflected in its changed role and function. The authors also consider translation as an important factor in reviving cultural diversity and stimulating the growth of human creativity. It is concluded that the interpretation of translation as a factor that has a significant impact on a person requires consideration by the social philosophymethods. A methodology for analyzing important sociocultural phenomena, based on the dialectical ideais proposed. The main research method is the double opposition “philosophy—translation”. This approach includes the need to pay close attention to the connections between the whole and its important parts, which increases the relevance of analyzing the connections between them. Within this idea, the key conclusion is that philosophical categories are derived from real relations to science.

Self-esteem, Islamic Behavior, and Writing Assessment for Indonesian Language Madrasa Teachers: An Empirical Phenomenological Investigation
Authors: Sukenti Desi , Agustina  , Fauzan Ahmad
Published: October 2024

Improving students' academic achievement in Indonesian language studies at madrasas requires effective writing evaluations. This study explores how Islamic behavior and self-esteem attribution among Indonesian language teachers at Madrasas influence their approach to creating writing assessments using a phenomenological method. Through in-depth interviews with twenty teachers, the thematic analysis revealed that teachers' Islamic values provide a religious framework that shapes their understanding and application of assessment development. Teachers' evaluations incorporate moral and religious principles, reflecting on their self-worth and the intrinsic value of students' written work. Islamic behavior and the attribution of self-esteem enhance teachers' commitment to fair, reflective assessments, which ultimately support students' literacy and academic growth. The study suggests that embedding Islamic behavior and self-esteem attribution in writing assessments strengthens teacher development and student success in Indonesian language studies. Future studies could further explore the role of these factors in teacher preparation and assessment practices in Indonesian madrasas.
PENENTUAN KADAR RESIDU PESTISIDA KLORPIRIFOS DAN PENGARUH PENCUCIAN PADA CABAI, BUNCIS DAN SAWI PUTIH SERTA NILAI RISIKO KESEHATAN PADA MANUSIA
Authors: Zilfa  , Yusuf Yulizar , Putri Mitha Anggreini , Heysha Fheiza
Published: October 2024

Sayuran merupakan bahan pangan yang digemari masyarakat untuk dikonsumsi karena banyak mengandung nutrisi. Cabai (Capsicum annuum L.), buncis (Phaseolus vulgaris L), sawi putih (Brassica pekinensia L) termasuk  sayuran yang dapat diolah menjadi berbagai olahan sayuran yang lezat maupun dimakan sebagai lalapan. Untuk memperoleh tanaman sayuran yang subur diperlukan pestisida untuk membasmi hama yang dapat merusak sayuran. Salah satu pestisida yang banyak digunakan yaitu klorpirifos yang dapat meninggalkan residu sehingga menyebabkan risiko akut dan kronis pada kesehatan, oleh sebab itu perlu dilakukan analisis mengenai kadar residu pestisida klorpirifos pada sayuran. Kadar residu pestisida klorpirifos ditentukan menggunakan spektrofotometer UV-Vis dengan panjang gelombang 230 nm menggunakan pelarut diklorometana dan analisis kualitatif menggunakan HPLC dengan membandingkan waktu retensi larutan standar dan sampel sayuran. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan pencucian pada sayuran menggunakan diklorometana, akuades, air sumur dan air PDAM untuk melihat pengaruh pencucian terhadap kadar residu pestisida yang terkandung. Konsentrasi residu pestisida pada sayuran yang tidak dicuci yaitu cabai (2,6680±0,0214 mg/kg), buncis (2,4658±0,0193 mg/kg), dan sawi putih (2,7950±0,0379 mg/kg). Proses pencucian pada sayuran dilakukan tiga kali untuk masing-masing pelarut. Pencucian tiga kali menggunakan diklorometana dan akuades, didapatkan bahwa residu pestisida sudah tidak terdeteksi, sedangkan pencucian menggunakan air PDAM dan air sumur masih menyisakan residu pada sayuran tetapi kadarnya sangat kecil dibandingkan nilai Batas Maksimum Residu (BMR). Pada perhitungan nilai resiko kesehatan diperoleh nilai aHQ dan cHQ  <1  yang menunjukkan bahwa konsumsi batas yang dianjurkan dari sampel penelitian ini tidak menimbulkan risiko kesehatan baik jangka pendek maupun jangka panjang.. Penelitian ini memberikan informasi bahwa perlu pencucian berulang kali untuk menghilangkan kadar residu pestisida pada sayuran sebelum dikonsumsi.

ANTICOAGULANT THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH ATRIAL FIBRILLATION AND LIVER CIRRHOSIS
Authors:   Yaroslavl State Medical University, Shereshneva Marina V. , Ilyin Mikhail V. ,   Yaroslavl State Medical University
Published: October 2024

Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common arrhythmias. In patients with liver cirrhosis, the presence of atrial fibrillation is accompanied by additional risks of thromboembolic complications and death. Prevention of thromboembolic events in patients with liver dysfunction presents significant difficulties due to the presence of coagulopathies, which contribute to an increased risk of thrombus formation and hemorrhagic events. Warfarin and direct oral anticoagulants in patients with mild to moderate liver dysfunction and concomitant atrial fibrillation are comparable in effectiveness in reducing the risk of ischemic stroke, but direct oral anticoagulants demonstrate a better safety profile due to reduced risk of bleeding. Clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of anticoagulants rarely include patients with severe liver impairment (Child-Pugh class C), and the benefit of anticoagulant therapy in this population requires further study.

Background. The development of alcohol dependence in women associated with cognitive impairment has different degrees of severity in different ethnic populations in the Siberian region: Tuvan and Russian ethnic groups. The comparative aspect of the study is important in assessing the typology and course of alcohol dependence in women of different ethnic backgrounds. Objective. To study the features of the development of alcohol dependence and cognitive impairment in women of Tuvan and Russian ethnic backgrounds. Materials and methods. The study included two groups of women with alcohol dependence. The first group consisted of 78 women of Tuvan nationality (mean age 41.6±9.9 years), who were treated in the Republican Narcological Dispensary of the Republic of Tyva. The second group consisted of 66 women of Russian nationality (mean age 41.6±9.0 years), who were treated in the Department of Addictive States of the Research Institute of Mental Health of the Tuvan National Research Medical Center. Clinical-psychopathological, psychological, mathematical-statistical methods were used. Results. In women of Tuvan nationality, the development and formation of alcohol dependence (from the appearance of the first signs to the development of withdrawal syndrome) occurs progressively. They are characterized by a high degree of psychotic forms of alcoholism, which develop after 5-6 years of alcohol abuse, compared to Russian women, in whom the first alcoholic psychosis develops only after 14-15 years of alcohol abuse. In 16.7% of Tuvan women, psychosis acquired a tendency to frequent recurrence. Typical stereotypy in pictograms is associated with alcoholic psychosis. Excessive typical stereotypy was found on pictograms in 50% of Tuvan patients and 30.4% of Russian patients without a history of alcoholic psychosis; In the subgroups of female patients who suffered from alcoholic psychoses, this feature was found in 72.41% of Tuvan and 66% of Russian women. Conclusion. The identified clinical and psychopathological symptoms confirm the progressive development of alcohol dependence in women of Tuvan ethnicity. Cognitive impairments are characterized by the monotony of associative connections, a decrease in the level of generalization, and the volume of working memory.

Published: October 2024

Floating rice cultivation, a novel method, is essential for boosting crop yields and resilience amid climate change using flood-prone and water-saturated environments. This approach leverages aquatic resources such as lakes and reservoirs, enhancing agricultural productivity and ecosystem health. This study was conducted in 2023 at the Department of Agronomy, Agricultural College and Research Institute, Madurai to assess the suitability and production potential of cultivating traditional paddy varieties viz., Chinnar and Chithiraikar under floating conditions. Various substrates including soil, coir pith, wooden chips, sugarcane trash, thermocol, leaf compost, and jute bags were levelled out over paddy seeding trays (60 × 30 cm) and placed over bamboo rafts (120 × 120 cm) which served as the float base. Various parameters viz., germination (%), leaf area index (LAI), vigour index, plant population, dry matter production (g/m2), grain yield (kg/ha) and straw yield (kg/ha) were analysed. Results revealed that better crop establishment and crop growth were highly influenced by nursery and conditions with coconut coir outperforming other substrates. However, findings indicated that thermocol substrate is more productive in realizing higher yield attributes and yield (9.83 g/plant, 9.90 g/plant, respectively) of both Chinnar and Chithiraikar landraces of rice. Thus, floating rice cultivation offers a sustainable way to enhance productivity and adaptability, with traditional paddy varieties suitable for soilless media, though further research is needed to optimize its effectiveness.

A study of spin wave spectra in a two-layer structure of iron-yttrium garnet (YIG) with different magnitudes of the saturation magnetizations of the layers has been carried out. Different modes of spin wave propagation (reciprocal, nonreciprocal, single-wave) depending on the type of structure and width of the central waveguide are investigated. The classification of spin wave spectra is carried out, and the class of guided, outgoing, and edge spin modes is identified. In particular, it is shown that in a system of planar magnetic comb-type LS-type (Ms1 Ms2) microwave guide tubes with periodic boundary conditions, two non-contiguous frequency regions of existence of guided modes of the central waveguide are observed for a width w of the central waveguide. Two adjacent frequency regions exist in the system of planar magnetic comb-type HS-type (Ms1 Ms2) microwave guide tubes at any values of the width of the central waveguide: in the high-frequency region, the mode with outflowing modes of the structure is realized, while in the low-frequency region, the mode with guided modes of the central waveguide is realized. It is shown that in systems of both types in the region of strongly inhomogeneous magnetic fields there can exist modes of boundary waves having a mutual character of propagation. The results obtained can be used to expand and clarify the physics of wave processes in complicated magnetic structures.

The influence of the degree of dispersion of a nickel–zinc ferrite powder of a Ni0.7Zn0.3Fe2O4 composition on its magnetic properties has been considered. The material has been synthesized using the ceramic technology with preliminary mechanical activation of precursors. The degree of dispersion has been varied using different modes of its dry grinding in a ball mill. The patterns of the changes in saturation magnetization and the coercive force as a function of grinding modes and a specific surface area of the ferrite powder have been established. The changes in the pattern of the magnetic phase transition in the region of the Curie temperature of materials with different degrees of dispersion have been determined.

The study investigates carbon-containing coatings of 3d-metals (Ni, Co, Fe) produced by chemical deposition method using arabinogalactan. The coatings were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, FMR, and M(H) magnetometry. Measurement of M(H) in plane and perpendicular to the plane of the magnetic coatings allowed determining the distribution of demagnetizing factor in the studied coatings. The obtained distributions of the demagnetizing factor were used to analyze the angular dependences of the ferromagnetic resonance field. The values of magnetization and perpendicular anisotropy field were estimated. The paper illustrates the effect of texture on the magnetic parameters.

The paper examines the impact of interparticle interactions on the superparamagnetic relaxation of ultrasmall nanoparticle ensembles, using Fe2O3∙nH2O iron oxyhydroxide (ferrihydrite) nanoparticles as an example. Two samples were analyzed: ferrihydrite of biogenic origin (with an average particle size of d ≈ 2.7 nm) with a natural organic shell, and a sample (with d ≈ 3.5 nm) that underwent low-temperature annealing, during which the organic shell was partially removed. The DC and AC magnetic susceptibilities (χ′(T), χ′′(T)) in a small magnetic field in the superparamagnetic (SPM) blocking region of the nanoparticles were measured. The results show that an increase in interparticle interactions leads to an increase in the SPM blocking temperature from 28 to 52 K according to DC magnetization data. It is shown that below the SPM blocking temperature, magnetic interactions of nanoparticles lead to the formation of a collective state similar to spin glass in bulk materials. The scaling approach reveals that the dynamics of correlated magnetic moments on the particle surface slow down with increasing interparticle interactions. Simulation of χ′′(T) dependence has shown that the dissipation of magnetic energy occurs in two stages. The first stage is directly related to the blocking of the magnetic moment of nanoparticles, while the second stage reflects the spin-glass behavior of surface spins and strongly depends on the strength of interparticle interactions.

The structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of lithium zinc ferrite prepared by ceramic technology have been studied. The composition of lithium zinc ferrite is Li0.4Fe2.4Zn0.2O4 with 1 and 2 wt % bismuth oxide. The addition of Bi2O3 prior to sintering of the samples has been shown to affect the structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of the ferrite. A significant increase in density from 4.47 to 4.65 g/cm3 and a decrease in porosity from 4.8 to 2.3% have been observed when the concentration of bismuth oxide has been increased to 2 wt %. The Bi2O3-containing samples have higher specific electrical resistivity compared to that of the additive-free lithium zinc ferrite. The introduction of bismuth oxide has reduced the specific saturation magnetization from 70.55 to 54.76 G cm3/g. The Curie temperature has not changed significantly. An optimal combination of macroscopic properties of ferrite has been found at 1 wt % Bi2O3 concentration.

Published: October 2024

The Hall effect in single crystals of topological semimetals WTe2 and MoTe2 is studied in the temperature range from 2 to 100 K and in magnetic fields up to 9 T. It is established that the Hall resistivity of WTe2 shows a nonlinearly dependence on the magnetic field at temperatures below 100 K. At the same time, the Hall resistivity of MoTe2 depends linearly with the magnetic field at temperatures range from 2 to 25 K and a nonlinear contribution appears at 50 K. Along with the known mechanism of compensation/decompensation of electron and hole charge carriers, the nonlinear dependence of the Hall resistivity of WTe2 and MoTe2 single crystals on the magnetic field is associated with the scattering of charge carriers on the surface.

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is used to determine the magnetic phase transformation temperatures of the La1 – xYxMn2Si2 (x = 0–1) alloys. For the compositions with х from 0 to 0.3, the temperature dependences of DSC signal exhibit λ-like endothermic effects observed near 300 K, which are related to the magnetic phase transition from the ferromagnetic to layered antiferromagnetic structure, and weak anomalies, which are observed in a temperature range of from 458 K for the composition with х = 0 to 323 К for the composition with х = 0.3 upon disordering of the layered antiferromagnetic structure. A clear endothermic peak corresponding to the disordering of interplane antiferromagnetic layered structure was found for the YMn2Si2. The data obtained are used to construct the magnetic phase diagram of the La1–xYxMn2Si2 system in a temperature range of 270–600 К. The differential scanning calorimetry is shown can be successfully used for the determination of temperatures of various magnetic phase transformations in rare-earth intermetallic compounds.

Published: October 2024

Within the dissipation-free approach, for a magnetic layer separating two semi-bounded ideal fluids, it is shown that, at the point of the phonon radiation spectrum where leaky surface magnon polarons of the “dark” state are formed (of interference or symmetry-protected type) at the interface with an acoustically less dense medium, both the numerator and the denominator of the input wave impedance can independently become zero (at the very point of existence of a bound state in the continuum, they vanish simultaneously). The calculation was performed for a two-sublattice model of an antiferromagnet, which simultaneously takes into account magnetoelastic, inhomogeneous exchange, and hyperfine coupling. Conditions have been found under which the mechanisms of formation of bound states in the spectrum of phonon radiation of leaky magnon polarons involving quasi-electronic or quasi-nuclear magnons are fundamentally different: elastodynamic or elastostatic.
