Elite-pedagogical Ideas of the Russian Liberal Elitism Representatives in Understanding Revolutionary Events in Russia 1905–1907 years
Authors:   Transbaikal State University, Yuliya Yu. .Levdanskaya
Published: December 2020

The article analyzes the socio-political and philosophical thought of the domestic liberal elitism representatives in understanding the revolutionary events of 1905–1907 in the scope of elitology and elite-pedagogy. The comprehension of elite-pedagogical ideas is carried out around the discourse of the “Russian intellectuals” crisis, its role and responsibility for the events occurred through the prism of the phenomena of “elite transit” and “mass revolt”. It has been shown that the philosophical and pedagogical thought of Russian liberal elitism anticipated the culturological approach development and the meritocratic tradition of modern elitology and elite-pedagogy: formulation of the elite educating problem, which is responsible to the people and is involved in the surrounding majority, aware of the high spiritual responsibility for their creative space to the people; consideration of questions of the elite culture and education popularization, interaction of “elitist” and “mass” culture, education of the masses and the task of legitimizing the achievements of culture, science, art, politics in the masses. The knowledge of pedagogical phenomena in the context of elitology and elite-pedagogy, as well as the reflection of the history of pedagogy in line with the studied issues, will allow the author to identify negative trends in modern education that reduce its possibilities regarding the upbringing and education of the higher stratum of society.

Authors:   Institute for Strategy of Education Development of the Russian Academy of Education, Konstantin Yu. Milovanov
Published: December 2020

The article examines the issues of schools’ politicization in the domestic pedagogical thought of the pre-war period. The theoretical and methodological relevance of the study lies in the need to study the theory and practice of school education, modernization models and educational strategies of the Soviet period. No less important is the relevance of the historical dimension of the problem of the development of school education in the USSR in the context of the scientific reconstruction of the main stages of its evolution. The author has used historical-structural, historical-typological, historiographic and source study methods in his work. The purpose and practical significance of scientific work are associated with the tasks of interpreting and revising the activities of historically established educational systems, and with the possibility of their retrospective use for examining the state of the modern Russian school and building innovative concepts that generate new pedagogical knowledge. The study postulates the assertion that the upbringing system in the Soviet period was part of the ideological work of the ruling party, which had a huge impact on society. The views of prominent figures in pedagogical science and education system on the problem of raising the younger generation are characterized. The leading tendencies of etatization and politicization of school educational practice in the historical period under consideration are revealed. The main parameters of the modernization of the system of cultural, educational and educational activities of the united labour socialist school have been determined. It has been established that during the Soviet period, a worldwide recognized system of general education appeared. At the same time, the era under consideration was marked by the politicization of education, formation and subsequent development of the state-party management of the public education system.

Published: December 2020

The relevance of the study is due to the need to find ways to ensure the psychological safety of distance educational environment, as well as the lack of development of characteristics and safety indicators of the educational process during distance learning at school. The main research methods were theoretical methods aimed at creating theoretical generalizations, determining the content of teachers’ readiness to ensure psychological safety in the context of distance learning and empirical methods that identify the main components of readiness using a research methodology.The article discusses the results of a study of the readiness of teachers to ensure psychological safety in the context of distance learning in three components: a) the operational component, which is represented by communicative, constructive and gnostic skills that determine the teacher’s behavior in ensuring safe and comfortable interaction with distance learning; b) the reflexive component involves understanding the problem of safe-comfortable interaction in the context of distance learning and identifying ways to solve it based on introspection of one’s activities; c) the activity component is represented by the personal experience of the teacher in using special ways of working with students to ensure psychological safety in the distance educational environment. The conditions for teaching teachers to develop their competence to ensure the psychological safety of distance learning environments are defined: mastering the methods of organizing the educational process, ways to maintain the self-organization of the educational process, building an individual motivational system for the student and emotional support in real distance learning.

Published: December 2020

The paradigm of sustainable development (SD) is broader than discrete methods of resource conservation and environmental protection. The core of the SD concept is in maintaining a balance within changing socio-natural systems, which is determined by people’s behavior. Education for sustainable development (ESD) is not limited to explaining the foundations of SD, but must train the population to take into account the latent effects, i. e. long-term consequences of anthropogenic impacts. So far, the main attention in education is focused on the external causes of destabilization. We cannot limit ourselves to this, because internal causes of the transformation of systems (both natural and social), similar to succession, violate stability no less than external ones. By studying the environmental and social involuntary processes that determine the transformation of the corresponding systems, one can teach the population to live successfully in constantly changing conditions, counteracting unwanted changes, while maintaining the stability of society and ecosystems. The article details the tasks of ESD, a significant part of which is not sufficiently taken into account in the educational programs of secondary and higher schools. The systemic basis is a new concept that designates in the field of education the basis of the system analysis algorithm – the key to understanding the core of the system in dynamics, in other words, those main processes on which all the others depend, jointly forming the system as such: its structure and the area of possible changes. Methodically, the work is based on the principles and approaches of the General systems theory and personal teaching experience, which made it possible to identify four main goals of ESD, three of which have not been previously presented in the scientific literature.

Due to the fact that the requirements for a University graduate, a future teacher, are significantly increasing, new guidelines in teaching activities are defined. This is due to the processes of development and modernization of education that are taking place in Russian society, as well as the complexity of the professional activity of the teacher associated with the formation of the subject position of the student. The relevance of using modern technologies is justified, their characteristics are determined, and a General subject-oriented technology is proposed that allows us to successfully solve modern problems of education. An analysis of the experience of graduate students and teachers working in educational organizations in Yaroslavl and other cities is presented. A low level of readiness of teachers to use modern technologies, including subject-oriented technology, is revealed. In this regard, a model of preparing students for the use of subject-oriented technologies at a pedagogical University is proposed, which includes three components: conceptual-target, content-organizational, and analytical-effective. The article briefly describes the content of each component. Testing of the model was carried out in the course of experimental work, which was carried out in the master’s program at the faculty of social management of the Yaroslavl state pedagogical University. The conducted research is characterized by practical orientation, touches on modern aspects of professional education, the use of modern pedagogical technologies in the educational process.

Published: December 2020

The article describes the changes taking place in culture and education of the 21st century in connection with the civilization search for ways of sustainable development. The role of environmental culture as a platform for the formation of a sustainable development culture is considered. The problem of developing methodological approaches to ensuring the continuity of the formation in general education of the foundations of a culture of sustainable development based on ecological culture is actualized. The conclusion is made about the new mission of environmental education as education for sustainable development, which forms the prerequisites for the development of the foundations of sustainable development culture. A comparative characteristic of environmental culture in its classical understanding as a result of natural-scientific ecological education of schoolchildren, and ecological culture for sustainable development, as the integration of cultural results of all general education, is given. The essence of culturological, cultural-creative, value-worldview, integrative, semiotic-hermeneutic and institutional approaches to ensuring the continuity of the formation of ecological culture and culture of sustainable development is revealed. The development degree of these approaches and the pedagogical means of their implementation in the general educational process are analyzed. It is concluded that the application of the identified methodological approaches requires a rethinking of the theory of constructing the environmental education content, its sources, criteria and indicators of its results, primarily personal
The Professional Values of Modern Economists as a Psychological and Pedagogical Problem
Authors:   Vladimir Dahl Lugansk National University, Igor P. Manchenko
Published: December 2020

The relevance of the article is due to significant transformations of various aspects of public life that affect the professional values of the economist’s personality. This defines the tasks of modernizing higher economic education, including finding new approaches to its axiologization, which requires determining the system of professional values of the personality of a modern economist. The author emphasizes the lack of development of the problem of the formation of professional values of the personality of future economists due to the prevailing approaches of researchers to the study of vocational and value orientations, professional orientation and professional self-determination of these specialists. An author’s understanding of the essence of professional values of the personality of a modern economist has been proposed. A theoretical analysis of the approaches of domestic scientists to determining the professional values of the personality of an economist was carried out, which made it possible to form an initial list of values reflecting the general characteristics of different areas of economic activity. Using the method of expert assessment, a generalized system of professional values of the modern economist was formed, such as the interaction of socio-professional, vocational-group and personal-professional values. The methods of mathematical statistics revealed the reliability of the results and the possibility of using them in the study. By the method of expert ranking, the hierarchy of professional values of the personality of the modern economist for each of the groups is determined. This should be considered as the basis for determining the pedagogical conditions for the effective formation of the professional values of the personality of future economists in the process of their professional training.

The studies carried out made it possible to establish that during the industrial preparation of second lunch dishes with a garnish, heterocyclic aromatic amines are formed in the meat components. Heterocyclic aromatic amines were found in all samples tested. However, the lack of information on the preparation technology of the selected samples does not allow a full analysis of the results obtained. The largest amount of heterocyclic aromatic amines was formed in samples with chicken meat, which was prepared at the highest temperatures relative to other samples. The presence of heterocyclic aromatic amines in all studied samples indicates the potential harm of consumption of such products for human health

The results of the study of the meat productivity of crossbred young animals obtained from the crossing of ewes of the Aginsk breed with the producers of the Kazakh breed of the Bayys type in a comparative aspect with purebred analogs of the original breed at the age of 6 and 18 months are presented. It has been established that crossbred individuals have a significant advantage in terms of slaughter qualities in the analyzed age periods. So, for the pre-slaughter live weight at the age of 6 months. the superiority was 3.0 %, at the age of 18 months. – 6.2 %, for slaughter weight and slaughter yield – 3.4 and 0.2 %; 7.8 and 0.8 % respectively. Lamb obtained from the slaughter of young sheep of the control and experimental groups at the age of 6 months, depending on the weight of carcasses, corresponded to the first class. The chemical composition of the meat indicates the higher calorie content of meat obtained from crossbred young animals. At the same time, the ratio of protein and fat was optimal when slaughtering experimental young animals at the age of 6 months. Tasting evaluation of broth and boiled meat did not reveal significant differences in organoleptic indicators of control and experimental samples.

Published: December 2020

The present work describes the comparison of the optical and structural properties between CdTe quantum dots (QD) synthesized in water and in the binary solvent (water + glycerin) via one-pot approach synthesis. The optical properties of the nanocrystals obtained with different synthesis parameters were characterized by UV-visible and photoluminescence spectroscopies. The structural chracterization were performed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), zeta potential, size-distribution by dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and also by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The optical properties of CdTe QD when synthesized in the binary solvent were better, resulting in the increase of photoluminescence quantum yield (φƒ). The CdTe QD prepared in 120 min, at pH 10.0, in the Cd:Te molar ratio 20:1, using the molar ratio 1:1.5 of Cd:TGA (thioglycolic acid), exhibited a narrow photoluminescence band and enhanced φƒ for the samples synthesized in a binary solvent in comparison to water solvent (58.4 and 49.5%, respectively).

This paper discusses on the contribution of Indonesian Islam in the context of socio-cultural identity. Muslim is a large social identity which represent to citizenship identification in Indonesian context. The dynamic of Indonesian Muslim that have special status is interesting to be investigated about socio-cultural identity. Actually, both in the Qur’an and the substantive level, Islam expression can be diverse. It could be considered Islamic expression of its role, character, approach and region. This paper records the results of research that has addressed the varietyproblem of Islamic identity in terms of region. The data was collected through answer method, documentation, and analyzed through content analysis. As a result, there are eight Islamic identities from the perspective of the region published in Indonesian, they are: Archipelago Islam, Indonesian Islam, Javanese Islam, Radical Islam, Islamic Sasak, Islamic Sharia, and Islam Indigenous Hatubana, Kumai Bubuhan Islamic, and Coastal Islamic. All Islamic identity is influenced by the culture and the local tradition. Only a handful of variants that the identity is rather keep a distance with the local culture and tradition, five times in Islamic Sasak, Islamic Sharia in Hatubana and Nabu Group in Kumai Bubuhan Islamic. The result describes that Muslim construct their citizenship identity with extending of Islamic teaching categorization and education in both of cultural and national. That is against to Turner’s opinion which said that citizenship will be luck by religious identification. Furthermore, Indonesian Muslim have been met of the citizenship identity as a transformative process from primordial categorization into inclusive categorization
Kehujjahan Hadis Mursal Menurut Imam Madzhab Empat
Authors: Abidin Achmad Azis
Published: December 2020

According to the muhaddits, a hadis is acceptable and reliable to be hujjah in law when its sanad has continuous authority till the Prophet Muhammad, beside that the narrator who delivered it is a tsiqat (‘adil and dhabt). If some sanads are ommited between the successor and the Prophet Muhammad, the hadis is called mursal. Islam scholars have different views in measuring the credibility and realibility of mursal hadis. Some of them absolutely received mursal hadis to be hujjah, the other one received it by giving requisites, while the rest of scholars absolutely rejected it. This article presented the opinion of four Islamic legal schools (Imam Abu Hanifah (d. 148 H), Imam Malik bin Anas (d. 179 H), Imam Syafi’i (d. 204 H), and Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (d. 241 H)) regarding the validity of mursal hadis as hujjah. This result of this arcticle revealed that Imam Abu Hanifah, Imam Malik bin Anas, and Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal accepted mursal hadis as hujjah by generally requites. Furthermore, Imam Syafi’i accepted it by specially requites.
Graphical-statistical method to explore variability of hydrological time series
Authors: Onyutha Charles
Published: December 2020

Due to increasing concern on developing measures for predictive adaptation to climate change impacts on hydrology, several studies have tended to be conducted on trends in climatic data. Conventionally, trend analysis comprises testing the null hypothesis H0 (no trend) by applying the Mann–Kendall or Spearman's rho test to the entire time series. This leads to lack of information about hidden short-durational increasing or decreasing trends (hereinafter called sub-trends) in the data. Furthermore, common trend tests are purely statistical in nature and their results can be meaningless sometimes, especially when not supported by graphical exploration of changes in the data. This paper presents a graphical-statistical methodology to identify and separately analyze sub-trends for supporting attribution of hydrological changes. The method is based on cumulative sum of differences between exceedance and non-exceedance counts of data points. Through the method, it is possible to appreciate that climate variability comprises large-scale random fluctuations in terms of rising and falling hydro-climatic sub-trends which can be associated with certain attributes. Illustration on how to apply the introduced methodology was made using data over the White Nile region in Africa. Links for downloading a tool called CSD-VAT to implement the presented methodology were provided.
Assessing water service performances in rural sub-Saharan Africa environment: The case studies of two councils of the southern and eastern regions of the Republic of Cameroon (Central Africa)
Authors: Mvongo Victor Dang , Defo Célestin
Published: December 2020

This study uses multi-criteria analysis to assess water services performance provided to rural communities. The approach is based on five indicators (water availability, water quality, accessibility, affordability, and reliability) and allows the assessment of service levels. The indicators used provided a solid baseline for water services to identify a strategy for the improvement and achievement of universal access to water. We empirically applied the approach to rural water services in Cameroon and particularly in Mvangan and Mandjou Councils. A total of 77 water services has been investigated through technical inspection (water point inspection, flow measurement, and water quality analysis), semi-structured interviews with the technical services of these councils and surveys with water point committees, including 25 in Mandjou Council and 52 in Mvangan Council. The main results show that 43.40% of villages have enhanced services in Mvangan Council while only 4.76% of services are enhanced in Mandjou Council. Results also suggests that monitoring rural water services can improve the levels of services provided to populations and, hence, universal access to water. These assessments represent only a current snapshot of potable water delivery system conditions and should be conducted at regular intervals to track changes in overall and local conditions.

Small lakes in areas of intensive crude oil production may be susceptible to oil pollution arising from accidental spills and leaks, eventually leading to the pollution of bottom sediments. Effective cleaning of aquatic bottom sediments remains a challenge. Flotation is a potentially simple and reliable approach for the cleanup of bottom sediments without their excavation from the water body. Full-scale testing of flotation-based technology using the specially designed airlift plant allowed the cleaning of bottom sediments of an unnamed boreal lake (‘the lake’) within the Samotlor oil field, North Russia, heavily polluted with crude oil several decades ago. The lake bottom sediments are dominated by peat and unevenly polluted with oil. The average oil content in the lake bottom sediments was 111 g kg−1. During the 1.5 months' field test in July–August 2018, the average total oil concentration in the bottom sediments of the lake was reduced to 1.99 g kg−1. Secondary water contamination was minimal; the content of oil hydrocarbons in the water after completion of work did not exceed 0.09 ± 0.04 mg L−1. This study demonstrates that flotation-based technology can be applied for in situ cleaning of oil-contaminated lake bottom sediments including those in boreal climates.

The purpose of this article is to examine risk perception among some specific stakeholders, including international intergovernmental bodies, private western-based corporates, and among European public opinion surveys. We also address concerns of the Russian Federation and the impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Perception of risks is key to policy decision-making and probably more important than risk assessment. We offer a medico-scientific perspective based on factual evidence drawn mostly from official websites and publications. Our first goal is to understand if sufficient attention is given to human health, disease prevention and control relative to economic and financial considerations. Our second goal is to promote a translational and interprofessional approach to global risk prioritization by cooperation between the medicoscientific community and the financial-economic world. To this end, we examine the benefits for the practice of economic risk assessment of engaging biomedical expertise focused on global environmental health. Maintenance, expansion and sustainability of the human enterprise require health and wellness.

At present an outstanding task is to concentrate on chemical and fractional structure when examining and assessing influence exerted by particulate matter on morbidity among children. The main goal of any such research is to prevent negative effects produced on the respiratory organs. Our research objects were ambient air in residential areas contaminated with particulate matter that were components in emissions from non-ferrous metallurgic enterprises (the test territory) and ambient air in residential areas free of such contamination; morbidity among children was also given our attention. Our assessment of ambient air quality as per РМ10 and РМ2.5 contents revealed they exceeded the standards recommended by the WHO and were by 1.4 times higher than recommended MPCa.d. Respirable fraction of particulate matter tends to have complicated chemical structure and contains metals that are specific for emissions from metallurgic enterprises such as nickel, copper, iron, aluminum, titanium, gallium, and neodymium. The latter can enhance negative effects produced by particulate matter on the respiratory organs. Epidemiologic assessment in a contaminated zone (the test territory) allowed establishing 1.8 times higher general and primary morbidity as per respiratory organs diseases than on the reference territory; it was even up to 14.8 times higher as per specific nosologies such as chronic disease of tonsils and adenoids, asthma, and status asthmaticus. We also established authentic dependence between probability of respiratory diseases and elevated concentrations of particulate matter in ambient air. Results of the proven dependence allow predicting up to 500/1000 additional respiratory diseases cases per year on the test territory; all these additional morbidity cases among children are associated with aerogenic exposure to particulate matter.

Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) occur in the environment as complex mixtures and each congener has different carcinogenic and mutagenic activity. Our research goal was to accomplish an integral assessment of food products contamination with priority PAH basing on their determination with high precision procedures. We validated a procedure for determining the said substances and hygienically assessed contamination of certain food products with benzpyrene, as well as with different carcinogenic and mutagenic PAH equivalents taking into account samples with low contamination. Quantitative determination limit for benz(a)anthracene and benzpyrene was fixed at 0.01 μg/kg; benz(b)fluoranthene and chrysene, 0.1 μg/kg. Detection limit for benz(a)anthracene and benzpyrene amounted to 0.003 μg/kg in our research; for benz(b)fluoranthene and chrysene, 0.03 μg/kg. A procedure for integral assessment of contamination with the examined compounds allowed us to calculate benz(a)anthracene, benzpyrene, benz(b)fluoranthene, and chrysene contents in certain food products taking into account mixture of the examined substances, their individual contributions into aggregated contamination, and their different toxic and mutagenic activity. Median food products contamination with benzpyrene amounted to 0.0065–0.42 μg/kg; PAH taking into account carcinogenic equivalents, 0.03–0.55 μg/kg; PAH based on mutagenic equivalents, 0.04–0.81 μg/kg.

N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is a highly hepatotoxic compound and classified as group 2A according to IARC, which is probably carcinogenic to humans. The habit of consumption of grilled meat-based foods may lead to a health risk, especially in children. In this study, a food consumption survey was conducted in 4 districts (2 in urban and 2 in suburban areas) in Hanoi, Vietnam. Food samples in the diet of children from 6 to 36 months was collected and tested for NDMA by GC-MS/MS method. Total exposure dose was calculated and compared to the proposed tolerable daily intake (TDI) to characterize the risk. Among the food tested, NDMA was detected in canned puree, grilled meat and sausage. The average contents of NDMA were 1.50 μg/kg, 1.18 μg/kg and 0.20 μg/kg in grilled meat, sausage and puree, respectively. The average total daily exposure dose of NDMA was 8.23 ng/kg bw/day in all studied group, which were within the upper recommended TDI (9.3 ng/kg bw/day). With a certain assumption, the cancer risk caused by exposure to NDMA were higher than the recommended value of WHO.

In the modern world, man has more and more responsibilities. Integration of thought, attitude, and activities providing “wisdom of life”, which guarantees careful activities in everyday life, is not enough. In nowadays era of fast changes, it is not enough to be a mature man in a sense of human cultural behavior, the needs are greater, anticipated thought and the ability to communicate with another man is necessary. Survival of man and overcoming the ecological crisis becomes a complex problem, which should be regarded as a system, a synthesis of theory and practice in many disciplines of science. A man prepared for service to the environment is called "Survival man". The "survival man" is a term, which refers to an integrally formed personality, that has a mature personality, prepared to coexist with other creatures. The "survival man" can integrate with others, make personal contacts "beyond boundaries" and also has the feeling of their vocation and their own place in nature. In order for these necessary dispositions of modern man, to become permanent behavior that is deeply motivated, the need for long-lasting bridging up process, after which follows later shaping in order for a man to achieve readiness to serve and act in a certain area. If a man is to serve, both to himself and others, first he has to reach to the deepest layers of the inner self - from sincerity to truth, in the bring in gup process. In order to reach full awareness of his role in the world.

Published: December 2020

Objective:

Immediately after the outbreak of nCoV, many clinical trials are registered
for COVID-19. The numbers of registrations are now raising inordinately. It is challenging to understand
which research areas are explored in this massive pool of clinical studies. If such information
can be compiled, then it is easy to explore new research studies for possible contributions in
COVID-19 research.

Methods:

In the present work, a text-mining technique of artificial intelligence is utilized to map
the research domains explored through the clinical trials of COVID-19. With the help of the open--
source and graphical user interface-based tool, 3007 clinical trials are analyzed here. The dataset is
acquired from the international clinical trial registry platform of WHO. With the help of hierarchical
cluster analysis, the clinical trials were grouped according to their common research studies. These
clusters are analyzed manually using their word clouds for understanding the scientific area of
a particular cluster. The scientific fields of clinical studies are comprehensively reviewed and discussed
based on this analysis.

Results:

More than three-thousand clinical trials are grouped in 212 clusters by hierarchical cluster
analysis. Manual intervention of these clusters using their individual word-cloud helped to identify
various scientific areas which are explored in COVID19 related clinical studies.

Conclusion:

The text-mining is an easy and fastest way to explore many registered clinical trials.
In our study, thirteen major clusters or research areas were identified in which the majority of clinical
trials were registered. Many other uncategorized clinical studies were also identified as “miscellaneous
studies”. The clinical trials within the individual cluster were studied, and their research
purposes are compiled comprehensively in the present work.

In the 21st century, humans are in battle against a deadly contagious disease COVID 19, first reported in Wuhan,
China. Coronavirus Disease designated as COVID 19 is caused by SARS COV 2 virus from beta coronavirus family. Although, there are no specific anti-viral drugs and vaccines against this pandemic disease, however many medicines are being
repurposed for COVID 19 management but have shown a limited success. Traditional medicine systems from ancient times
were used for their immense efficacy with minimal adverse effects compared to allopathic medicines. Thus, for COVID
19 management, researchers are focused on traditional medicines from Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, Unani, Siddha, and
Homeopathy as adjuvant therapy as per anecdotal data regarding their usage in the treatment of Infectious disease. In India,
all the traditional medicine systems are under AYUSH ministry and government has been highlighting AYSUH medicines
for improving immune system against COVID 19. In this review, the authors emphasize on historical background of
AYUSH medicines in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases and the medicines recommended by AYUSH
ministry for combating against COVID 19 as immunity boosters.
