A study of clay soil deformability over time
Authors: Mikova Marina N. , Akbulyakova Evgeniya N.
Published: December 2020

Introduction. The study is focused on the process of clay soil deformation over time, provided that this soil, featuring varied liquidity index values, is exposed to constant load. The consolidation process is slow; it can run for years or decades in clay soils. Long-term deformations of clay soils must be taken into account in the course of design and construction of buildings and structures, on the one hand, and in the process of analyzing settlement rates and maximal settlement values for foundation beds, on the other hand.

Materials and methods. Semi-solid, low-plasticity, high-plasticity, very high plasticity, and free-flowing clay samples were used in the study. The parameters under research encompass relative and absolute deformation of soil samples over time. These parameters are dependent on the soil liquidity index value. All laboratory tests were carried out in compression machines, and tested samples were exposed to constant load. The experimental data thus obtained were supplemented by the information provided M.A. Koltunov.

Results. Values of absolute deformations and time-to-relative deformation ratios were obtained for clays having different liquidity index values. The analysis of the time-to-relative deformation curves shows that deformations develop over time at different rates depending on the liquidity index of clay soils. An increase in the value of the liquidity index boosts the values of initial deformations and deformation rates.

Conclusions. The equations, derived in the course of the study, allow to analyze the deformation of semi-solid, low-plasticity, high-plasticity, very high plasticity, and free-flowing clays for various time ranges depending on the initial clay liquidity index. The accuracy of the approximation of these equations varies from 0.801 to 0.993, which makes it possible to characterize these dependences as high quality mathematical models.
La categoría de normalidad filosófica de Francisco Romero reguladora de la historia de la filosofía en Latinoamérica y Colombia
Authors: Rivas Osorio Pedro Pablo , Deraso Andrade Mayerli Alejandra
Published: December 2020

Este texto tiene como propósito tratar sobre las categorías de “Normalidad Filosófica” y “Fundadores” de Francisco Romero y las contribuciones hechas al respecto por algunos pensadores latinoamericanos y colombianos. Considerando el trabajo de Romero, la filosofía en Latinoamérica a inicios del siglo XX secaracterizó por ser más rigurosa y sistemática, cuyos rasgos son consecuencia de la etapa de la normalidad filosófica, que mediante técnicas y métodos académicos configuró a la filosofía como modelo rector para la historia de la filosofía en Latinoamérica. Sin embargo, han tenido lugar dos discusiones relevantes que son citadas en este trabajo como afirmación y negación de la “Normalidad Filosófica” y “Fundadores”, con el fin de demostrar que algunos pensadores consideran y reconocen estos conceptos como una idea de proyecto filosófico, que ha conducido a la toma de conciencia de hacer filosofía latinoamericana desde la concepción occidental. Por otro lado, otros pensadores se alejan de la opinión anterior al considerar que es una forma de delimitar la historia y un requisito impuesto al modo de hacer filosofía, profesionalizando y limitando el quehacer de esta actividad. Estas afirmaciones se identifican como dos posibilidades para asentar y repensar la historia de las ideas filosóficas.
Amenazas al proceso de paz: La no-guerra y los nuevos señores de la guerra, una interpretación desde Baudrillard y Münkler
Authors: Pabón Erazo John Jairo
Published: December 2020

El proceso de Paz en Colombia puso fin a uno de los enfrentamientos más largos del hemisferio occidental entre las F.A.R.C y el Estado colombiano. Sin embargo, éste se encuentra amenazado por diversos actores y circunstancias. Para comprender lo que es el proceso de paz es necesario hacer una conceptualización de la guerra en la primera etapa de la tercera posguerra, y para entender algunas de las amenazas por los que atraviesa el Acuerdo se hace necesario repensar el concepto de guerra a partir del mundo de finales del siglo XX e inicios del nuevo milenio. Los conceptos de no-guerra (Baudrillard) y nuevas guerras (Münkler) ayudan en la comprensión de las mayores amenazas que enfrenta el Acuerdo finalpara la terminación del conflicto en Colombia.

Authors: Nasution Taufikurrahman , Efendi Muhammad
Published: December 2020

Abstract: Mount Leuser National Park is one of the largest conservation areas and plays important ecological and economic functions. To support forest management, it is important to gain current vegetation data. The sampling method of a 0.1 hectare plot was carried out on two sampling sites in the submontane zone of Ketambe Resort, Mount Leuser National Park, Aceh. The diversity of trees was not significantly different, while species composition was different. Site one was dominated by Syzygium spp. and Shorea platyclados, while site two was dominated by Altingia excelsa and Bridelia glauca. Lauraceae, Myrtaceae, and Dipterocarpace families dominated in both sites. Tree structures formed three strata and showed a good capacity for forest regeneration. The aboveground biomass of site one was higher than site two due to the presence of more large trees. Pioneer species, cultivated plants, a low average wood density, and low aboveground biomass indicated secondary forest characteristics in both sites. Abstrak: Taman Nasional Gunung Leuser merupakan salah satu kawasan konservasi yang terluas dan memiliki fungsi ekologi dan ekonomi yang penting. Data vegetasi terkini penting didapatkan untuk mendukung pengelolaan hutan. Metode sampling dengan plot 0.1 hektar dilakukan di dua lokasi pada zona submontana Resort Ketambe, Taman Nasional Gunung Leuser, Aceh. Keanekaragaman jenis pohon tidak berbeda secara nyata sementara komposisi jenis berbeda. Lokasi satu didominasi oleh Syzygium spp. dan Shorea platyclados, sementara lokasi dua didominasi oleh Altingia excelsa dan Bridelia glauca. Suku Lauraceae, Myrtaceae dan Dipterocarpace mendominasi pada kedua lokasi. Struktur pohon membentuk tiga strata dan menunjukkan kemampuan regenerasi hutan yang baik. Biomassa pohon di atas permukaan pada lokasi satu lebih tinggi dibandingkan lokasi dua karena lebih banyaknya pohon berukuran besar.

The relevance of the topic is connected with the involvement of population in solving the problems of the municipality on the basis of participation of the local governments in the implementation of national and relevant regional projects to improve the quality of life of population of the municipality. The article presents an analysis of participation in the implementation of regional projects of the local self-government bodies of urban districts and municipal districts of the Khabarovsk territory. The main organizational and legal forms of their participation are described, priorities of participation in the implementation of national projects are determined. Analysis of the activity of local governments and population of the studied municipalities in the implementation of regional projects was carried out. According to the results of the study, conclusions were made about the insufficient level of inclusion of local authorities in the implementation of national projects, since in some cases it is not about the participation of local authorities in the implementation of regional projects, but about the implementation of regional projects in the territory of the municipality.
PESQUISA QUALITATIVA E ESTUDOS DE CASO: SIGNIFICADO E LINHAS PRÁTICAS DE ORIENTAÇÃO
Authors: Simione Albino Alves
Published: December 2020

Este ensaio tem como intuito apresentar a relevância da investigação qualitativa no processo de construção de conhecimento científico, e expor algumas questões de fundo que estão subjacentes às modalidades de pesquisa qualitativa disponíveis e delinear como ela pode ser combinada com a realização de estudos de caso. Sobre os estudos de caso, o ensaio retoma as classificações propostas por Yin (2005, 2018) e Stake (1995) circunscrevendo a discussão nele empreendida aos tipos de estudos avançados por esses dois autores. É crescente o número de pesquisadores no campo de administração e gestão em Moçambique que têm optado pela utilização da abordagem qualitativa. A operacionalização de grande parte dos trabalhos que são desenvolvidos com recurso a ela apoia-se no método de estudo de caso. No entanto, constata-se que em muitos dos estudos já realizados, os pesquisadores não observam as diretrizes, padrões e preceitos que são exigidos na aplicação da abordagem qualitativa, nem justificam por que os seus casos são assim considerados, e são por isso criticados. O artigo apresenta linhas de orientação centradas nos fundamentos para a escolha da pesquisa qualitativa, significado e em quais circunstâncias de pesquisa pode-se utilizar essa abordagem. Indica, além disso, caminhos para o delineamento de projetos, forma de apresentação de questões de investigação e passos para a condução de estudos de caso com a qualidade desejada nesse campo.
TEORIA DOS DESEQUILÍBRIOS REGIONAIS E A HIPÓTESE DE CONVERGÊNCIA DO DESENVOLVIMENTO PARA AS REGIÕES BRASILEIRAS
Authors: Alves Denis Fernandes
Published: December 2020

Historicamente, estudos sobre desequilíbrios regionais têm sido fundamentais para a compreensão do processo de crescimento e desenvolvimento local, regional e nacional. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo teve como objetivo mensurar os desequilíbrios intra e inter-regionais brasileiros nas últimas três décadas e analisá-los a partir da hipótese de convergência do desenvolvimento introduzida por Williamson (1965). Para tanto, foram utilizadas variáveis censitárias da população nacional e dos estados brasileiros, além da variável renda per capita nos anos de 1991, 2000 e 2010. Os dados, de natureza secundária, foram extraídos do Censo Demográfico, disponibilizado pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). Com o objetivo de capturar traços de redução ou expansão das desigualdades intra e inter-regionais no território brasileiro, utilizando o índice de Williamson. Observou-se que, na escala das grandes regiões, houve uma queda acentuada - na década de 2000 - das desigualdades regionais. Isso representa uma renda per capita nacional mais alta, bem como uma queda na concentração de renda. No entanto, de forma intra regional, houve um aumento nas disparidades presentes nos territórios das regiões Norte e Centro-Oeste, enquanto nas regiões Nordeste, Sul e Sudeste houve uma queda no indicador. Portanto, pode-se concluir que a hipótese de convergência do desenvolvimento regional em algumas regiões não é rejeitada em comparação com outras no período do estudo.

Wyzwania w pracy socjoterapeutycznej z dziećmi i młodzieżą Perspektywa prowadzących grupy
Authors: Jankowiak Barbara , Soroko Emilia
Published: December 2020

Socjoterapia jest często oferowana w Polsce jako forma pomocy dla dzieci i młodzieży z trudnościami w funkcjonowaniu psychospołecznym. Praca socjoterapeutów i socjoterapeutek jest oparta na zaufaniu społecznym i wymaga funkcjonowania w wielu złożonych uwarunkowaniach. Celem niniejszej analizy było poznanie perspektywy socjoterapeutów i socjoterapeutek na trudności i wyzwania w ich codziennej pracy socjoterapeutycznej. W tym celu zostało zebranych 37 wypowiedzi pisemnych od socjoterapeutów pracujących w różnychplacówkach, głównie szkołach i świetlicach socjoterapeutycznych. Wypowiedzi zostały zanalizowane metodą analizy tematycznej (w podejściu autorstwa Braun i Clarke), pozwalającej nawygenerowanie pięciu tematów, które obejmują doświadczenie wyzwań: 1) wyzwaniem jest uczestnik; 2) dbać o grupę jako efektywne środowisko terapeutyczne; 3) pracować „z otwartym sercem”; 4) balansować między pewnością i niepewnością; 5) pracować mimo poczucia, że „nie wszyscy jadą w tę samą stronę”. Tematy mogą otworzyć dyskusję na temat tego, jak wspierać profesjonalistów/tki w ich codziennej pracy, na przykład przez wprowadzanie działań, które mogą zwiększyć ich poczucie wpływu i kontroli nad procesem socjoterapeutycznym. Jednocześnie praca socjoterapeutyczna jawi się jako wymagająca integrowania różnych celów związanych z kontekstami funkcjonowania uczestnika, grupy i instytucji, w których prowadzona jest socjoterapia.

Published: December 2020

Substrate combining could be done by using adhesive. In Indonesia, especially industrial field, solvent base adhesives were still being developed. This kind of adhesive was not environmental friendly and not safe handling. Therefore, Polyvinyl Acetate (PVAc) water-based adhesive was prepared as an outcome of this research as one of solution to overcome the problem above. Effect of surfactant concentration on the viscosity was aimed at this research. Semi continuous polymerization with stirring motor rates on 50 – 500 rpm was used (optional).  Pressure of 1 atm, 750C temperature, 5 – 6 hours reaction time for each was used as polymerization operation in this research. Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM), partial hydrolysis Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVOH), water, Ammonium Persulfate (APS) were prepared as raw material. NP-10 and NP-06 were non-ionic surfactants which each concentration was varied in this research. Water-based adhesive with NP-06 concentration variation resulting in viscosity from 98 m.Pa for 0.17 %wt concentration to 213 m.Pa for  0.68 %wt concentration. While NP-10 concentration variation resulting viscosity from 143 m.Pa for 0.17 %wt to 321 m.Pa for 0.68 %wt concentration. Therefore, adhesive with NP-10 surfactant concentration variable has a higher viscosity rate than NP-06 ones.

Board of directors as a field of research becomes a major point for intersection of many other issues of corporate governance, such as financial reporting, firm performance, earnings management, stock market, and reaching even well-established fields of research such as accounting and finance. Most of the papers published in this issue (volume 18, issue 1, special issue) of the Corporate Ownership and Control journal are linked to the board of directors’ issues directly or indirectly.
PATIENT-PROSTHESIS MISMATCH IS A PREVENTABLE DISEASE BUT HOW TO PREVENT IT IS A STORY NOT YET WRITTEN

Published: December 2020

Large studies demonstrated that moderate or severe patient-prosthesis
mismatch (PPM) occurs in 44.2% to 65% of patients undergoing aortic
valve replacement. If there is general agreement that patients with PPM
have worse outcome than patients without, it is difficult to understand
how to prevent this dangerous complication. The formula used to
calculate the effective orifice area (EOA) of an implanted aortic
prosthesis has many weak points that produce inconsistent results using
the same prosthetic valve (type and size). The observed EOA (3 to 6
months postoperatively) of a #23 biological prosthesis can range from
0.9 to 3.5 cm², making PPM prevention impossible using projected EOA,
where only the mean value is reported (1.83 cm² for the same #23
biological prosthesis). An EACTS-STS-AATS Valve Labelling Task Force has
been established to suggest the manufacturers to present essential
information on valvular prosthesis characteristics in standardized Valve
Charts. For valves used in the aortic position, Valve Charts should
include a standardized PPM chart to assess the probability of PPM after
implantation. This will not solve completely the conundrum of
prevention, but most likely it will be a step ahead.
Experience of Self-government Bodies at the Tula Arms Plant in the Second Half of the 18th – First Half of the 19th Centuries
Authors: Gladina Aleksandra Yu.
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the study of the concept of self-government at the regional level on the example of self-government bodies established at the Tula Arms Plant in the second half of the 18th century. There has been an increase in the number of studies on the elective services of Tula gunsmiths since the 1990s and this article takes the next step in the detailed research of the subject. Most of the archival documents used to prepare the article have been introduced into academic circulation for the first time. The author focuses on a number of issues: the membership and method of manning self-government bodies of Tula gunsmiths, the specifics of their activities and functions, their place in the system of self-government at the plant, and their role in the organization of the production process. The system of self-government bodies at the Tula Arms Plant included the armourers’ ratusha, the orphan court and the verbal court. Functional approach was used to analyse the activities of these bodies; it allowed us to systematize the directions of their work and reveal the hierarchy and the position of each of the elective services there. Special attention is paid to the interaction of armourers’ ratusha with other self-government bodies and the reflection of the topic of self-government in the normative legal acts regulating the work of the Tula Arms Plant (Regulations on the plant dated 1782 and 1823). At the same time, the activities of selfgovernment bodies are considered as elements of social policy carried out by the administration of the Tula Arms Plant. The formation and development of self-government institutions are examined on the example of the Tula and Izhevsk arms plants, with the identification of common and characteristic features in the development of these bodies of authority.
1917: Historical Divide? Review of: Matthias Neumann, Andy Willimott (eds.) Rethinking the Russian Revolution as Historical Divide. London, New York: Routledge, 2018.
Authors: Bogomolov Igor' K.
Published: December 2020

The collective monograph makes a new attempt to rethink the Russian revolution as a ‘historical divide’ between eras in Russian and world history. The authors come to the conclusion that the revolutionary transformation of Russia went far beyond the borders of 1917, capturing not only the Russian Civil War, but also the first decade of Soviet power. The most important and valuable observations relate to the hidden and still underestimated socio-cultural influence of prerevolutionary Russia on the seemingly completely special ‘Soviet world’.
Everyday Life of the Victors in the Soviet Occupation Zone in Germany in the Memoirs of Participants in the Events

Many years of work resulted in a book on the everyday life of Soviet military and civil personnel of the Soviet occupation forces and administration in Germany in 1945–49. The current state of research does not allow a generalized socio-cultural overview as yet, but contemporary witnesses can provide us with interesting ego-sources. Twelve of such sources, flanked by rare photographs, were compiled into a book which is intended for broad readership in Germany and suggests a multi-perspective view of the new beginning in Germany after the end of the war in 1945. The article contains a fragment of the introduction to the book.
Um experimento com sons saturninos através do Design Editorial
Authors: Soares Camila , Da Rosa Bandeira Ana
Published: December 2020

Em 1977, a Nasa lançou as sondas Voyager 1 e 2 em direção aos quatro planetas gasosos do nosso Sistema Solar com a missão de estudar os confins do Universo. Junto aos motores, processadores, antenas e máquinas fotográficas, elas ainda transportam o Disco de Ouro, contendo informações sobre o planeta Terra, caso alguém cruze seu caminho e tenha interesse em ouvir umas das sinfonias de Bath ou cantos de pássaros. Durante a viagem, elas captam ondas eletromagnéticas espaciais sobre os corpos celestes e enviam aos cientistas para serem estudados. Por vezes alguns desses dados são transformados em áudios para que também possamos escutar os sons do Universo. Ao fazer essa transição tornando os dados inteligíveis, os cientistas não apenas estão criando música, mas também possibilitando estudos que possam aprofundar os conhecimentos sobre os planetas. Sendo assim, ao transformar dados de um meio ao outro tornando capaz sua apreensão, os cientistas estariam “materializando” essas informações. Diante disso, este artigo apresenta um recorte do trabalho de conclusão de curso [Título omitido para revisão cega] do bacharelado em Design Gráfico da Universidade Federal de Pelotas. O projeto propõe desenvolver um livro experimental intitulado Voyager Sounds que possui como composição os áudios criados pela Nasa a partir de dados obtidos pelas sondas Voyager 1 e Voyager 2 em 1977 do planeta Saturno. Com o auxílio da tecnologia, utilizando a técnica de databending, os áudios foram recodificados e transformados em linguagem visual, explorando as diversas áreas de percepção de sentidos e estabelecendo relações de remediação entre os meios visual e sonoro.
The principle of equality and self-determination of peoples and the problem of recognition of new state formations
Authors: Avdonina Yulia Nikolaevna , Nagumanova Guzel Firdinatovna
Published: December 2020

The researchers put forward the thesis that in the case of systematic analysis of scientific views inherent in individual scientists, there is an opposition of the principle of equality and self-determination of peoples to the principle of the territorial integrity of states, and at the same time, in law enforcement practice there are various acts that do not meet the signs of uniformity in the interpretation of the principle of equality and self-determination of peoples. All this together leads not so much to a pluralism of opinions, but to the emergence of various kinds of legal conflicts. Additionally, the authors try to pose the problem of recognizing new state formations as subjects of international law, and also propose separate approaches to the processes that make it possible to recognize such states. So, at the end of the paper, the researchers set a vector for the continuation of the discussion, which speaks of giving such powers either the UN Security Council, or the Human Rights Council, or the International Court of Justice, subject to additional procedural requirements.
Professional deformation and psychological defense of the personality of a practicing psychologist at different stages of professional activity
Authors: Kuzenko Svetlana Sergeevna
Published: December 2020

The study aims to identify the features of professional deformation in practicing psychologists at different stages of professional development and the way to avoid burnout with the help of psychological defenses. The author used the following research methods: questionnaire survey, polling, quantitative and qualitative data analysis; as well as the following statistical methods: descriptive statistics, the Kruskal-Wallis H-test, the Pearson correlation coefficient. For the mathematical processing of the data, the author used the Microsoft Excel and Statistica 17.0 software, Cattell's 16-factor personality questionnaire, the Giessen questionnaire of psychosomatic complaints, V.V. Boyko's method of diagnosing the dominant strategy of psychological defense in communication, and the Rosenzweig frustration test. Having defined the professional deformation of a psychologist as changes in their professional development, the author identified signs of professional deformation, such as emotional burnout, low empathy, average (closer to low) level of adaptation to the social environment, reactions with a fixation on self-defense, intropunitive reactions in case of obstacles, and the use of "Deflection" defense mechanism.

Organization of housing and communal services management in Moscow (using the Golyanovo District as an example)
Authors: Vetrova Ekaterina A. , Kabanova Elena E.
Published: December 2020

Since the last decade of the XX century, the sphere of housing maintenance and utilities has been undergoing a period of reform. Its main goal is to transfer the activities of economic entities in this area to market principles, to carry out a comprehensive modernization of its infrastructure, to ensure the economical use of all types of resources, to expand the range and to improve the quality of housing and public utility services.  The problem of the study is that in modern conditions the housing maintenance and utilities is among the key life-supporting sectors of administrative-territorial entities and acts as an objective indicator of the level and quality of the population well-being, which contradicts the low efficiency of the housing maintenance and utilities management in certain territories. In some districts of the city of Moscow, it is in sharp contrast to the general advanced innovative level of management and the state of housing maintenance and utilities in the Russian capital.

Celem monografii jest ocena wybranych problemów zarządzania zrównoważonym rozwojem gminy, zaś celem badań, których wyniki w niej przedstawiono była ocena działalności JST w zakresie zrównoważonego rozwoju pod kątem uwarunkowań lokalnych i finansowych, a także ocena wykorzystania strategii działalności inwestycyjnej w zarządzaniu zrównoważonym rozwojem wybranych gmin województwa warmińsko-mazurskiego. W opracowaniu dokonano krytycznego przeglądu piśmiennictwa na temat koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju, przeanalizowano dane wtórne oraz przeprowadzono dwa badania ankietowe w gminach województwa warmińsko-mazurskiego. Zauważono, że poziom zrównoważonego rozwoju województwa warmińsko-mazurskiego istotnie odbiega od średniego poziomu, osiąganego w innych województwach w Polsce. Realizacja zrównoważonego rozwoju w badanym województwie została oceniona nisko pod względem wykorzystywania dostępnych możliwości. Oceniono też możliwości inwestycyjne i zdolności do finansowania wydatków inwestycyjnych w wybranych gminach województwa warmińsko-mazurskiego ponieważ uznano, że istotną determinantę zrównoważonego rozwoju gminy stanowi jej działalność inwestycyjna. Najwięcej problemów rozwojowych gmin zidentyfikowano w obszarze gospodarczym, gospodarki mieszkaniowej i w zakresie ochrony zdrowia.
Euro a proces konwergencji państw Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej: próba oceny

Published: December 2020

Polska, Republika Czeska, Węgry, Słowacja, Rumunia, Bułgaria, Chorwacja, Słowenia, Estonia, Łotwa i Litwa stanowią grupę krajów pod wieloma względami podobną do siebie. Łączy je przejście procesu transformacji systemowej, relatywnie niedawno stały się członkami Unii Europejskiej, wszystkie zaliczają się do biedniejszych członków tego ugrupowania, więc są określane mianem gospodarek doganiających. Procesy konwergencji ekonomicznej tych państw z bogatszymi („starymi”) krajami UE są ważnym i aktualnym przedmiotem badań. Tym co różni członków UE z Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej jest fakt, że 6 z nich pozostaje przy walutach narodowych, ale pozostałe 5 jest już członkami strefy euro. Celem badań jest ocena średnioterminowych efektów makroekonomicznych przyjęcia euro przez kraje Europy Środkowo – Wschodniej. Podstawą tej oceny jest określenie stopnia realnej konwergencji tych krajów, z 12-stką państw Unii Europejskiej, tzw. starych członków strefy euro. Jako punkt odniesienia do analizy włączono także te kraje członkowskie UE z Europy Środkowo – Wschodniej, które pozostają przy własnej walucie. Głównym pytaniem badawczym jest to, czy kraje EŚW po przyjęciu euro doganiają „stare kraje” członkowskie szybciej niż te, które pozostają przy własnych walutach? Analizie poddano szereg wskaźników makroekonomicznych: poziom i tempo wzrostu PKB, konsumpcji gospodarstw domowych, inwestycji, eksportu i importu, wskaźniki zatrudnienia i bezrobocia, stóp procentowych, inflacji, deficytu finansów publicznych oraz długu publicznego. Wykorzystano model konwergencji β oraz σ. Stopień synchronizacji cykli koniunkturalnych oszacowano przy użyciu analizy morfologicznej. Zakres czasowy badań to lata 2005 – 2019. Źródłem danych jest Eurostat. Jeśli za miarę syntetycznej oceny procesów konwergencji gospodarczej przyjąć dynamikę PKB, to na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań można stwierdzić, iż taki proces pomiędzy badanymi krajami jest faktem. Wszystkie badane kraje indywidualnie, jak również i te, posiadające własne waluty, a traktowane w badaniu jako 1 grupa, wykazywały przeciętne wyższe tempo wzrostu PKB od państw UE-12. Należy podkreślić, że przyjęcie euro nie jest cudownym panaceum na wszelkie bolączki i problemy. Trudno wskazać jeden wzorzec zmian badanych wskaźników po akcesji do strefy euro, silny jest również wpływ zmian koniunktury gospodarczej. Jakkolwiek w badanym okresie poszczególne wskaźniki ekonomiczne badanych krajów kształtowały się różnie, to jednak kraje Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej z euro osiągnęły generalnie większy poziom konwergencji ze starymi krajami strefy euro UE-12, niż pozostałe kraje EŚW bez euro. Korzyść płynąca z przyjęcia wspólnej waluty jest tym większa, im dłuższy jest staż tego członkostwa.

Formation of Students' Professional Identity at the University: Sociological Analysis
Authors: Selivanova Svetlana Sergeevna
Published: December 2020

The study reveals a feature of professional identity, which influences the quality of labor capital, which in turn affects the efficient and competitive func-tioning of the economy. It is a subjective state of the individual’s sense of his/her professionalism, be-longing to the professional community and the need to develop in this direction. The acquisition of the necessary qualifications and professional skills be-gins in the process of education; therefore, profes-sional identity begins to form at the university. The results of a sociological study of professional identi-ty state of university students in Ufa demonstrate an unsatisfactory level of its development: the majority of students give an average assessment of the ac-quired knowledge, skills and abilities. They note their inadequacy for practical application; more than half of students regret choosing a specialty and/or university; about a fifth of the students do not plan to work in their specialty at all, slightly more than half of the respondents do not exclude such a pos-sibility. Based on the analysis of the data presented, it was concluded that it is necessary to introduce a high-quality practice-oriented approach, innovative teaching methods, as well as special work with stu-dents into the educational process.

Walkability is one of the keys in developing a sustainable city. These days, many cities have considered enhancing walkability for pedestrian paths to ensure the seamless walking experience for people to reach their destination. Therefore, it is very important to have a good walking environment so people will find walking pleasant. However, there was a lack of studies attempting to include indoor walking environments in their walkability analysis. Most of them only consider outdoor walking paths. This might be due to the difficulties in modelling the indoor walking environment. With the advance technology of laser scanning, it might be possible to develop an indoor walking path by using point clouds collected for a building. The usage of point clouds could make it easier to segment the building elements and obstacles in an indoor environment. In order to produce an indoor map, it is important to reconstruct the building elements such as wall, ceiling, window and door. Therefore, this paper aims to generate the indoor walking path using laser scanning point clouds showing all the options to the pedestrians.Keywords: Walkability, indoor mapping, point cloud, laser scanning, mobile laser scanning

This paper discusses about the accuracy and capability of underground utility equipment which is Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Electromagnetic Locator (EML). The study area is located at JUPEM Underground Utility Detection Equipment Calibration Laboratory, Jalan Sultan Yahya Petra Kuala Lumpur. This study focused on accuracy, consistency and reliability of the both equipment due to the density of development especially in urban city areas poses new obstacles to new development which is the conflict of space. These issue raises when a new particular infrastructure needs to deploy in the same area with the crowded underground utilities. Here, the process of installation works for underground utilities need to be conducted carefully in order to avoid any utility accidents and casualties by determining the exact position and alignment of the existing underground utility. The common and the best option in the determination of any underground facilities are by underground utilities survey emphasized with buried objects which need to know the location installed and the depth deployed to ensure the safety of any development up coming. There are several methods with using different types of instruments include GPR, EML, Seismic Boom and Buried method. Thus, this paper is carried out for determining the accuracy of depth values obtained from GPR (Mala ProEx) and EML (RD8000) which are based on radar and electromagnetic concept respectively. Based on the result and analysis, it can be concluded that the accuracy achieved from GPR (Mala ProEx) is better compared with EML (RD8000). It has been proved by statistical data analysis in which the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values from GPR Mala ProEx for line A, line B and line C is smaller with millimeter level accuracy (3mm – 8mm) compared to EML RD8000 with centimeter level accuracy (18cm – 43cm). In term of reliability of dataset for the both types equipment for underground utility mapping, it shows that the range value of depth for all the types of utility is not significantly diverse. Fifty-six percent (56%) with centimeter level accuracy and Fourty-four percent (44%) with millimeter level accuracy.Keywords: GPR, EML, Accuracy, Utility Mapping, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE)
