Rational and Irrational in the Dance of Isadora Duncan
Authors:   Tyumen Industrial University, Osintseva Nadezhda Vladimirovna
Published: June 2020

This study analyzes Isadora Duncan’s creative activity in the aspect of philosophical anthropology. The American dancer anticipated the integration of Nouveau era into choreography. Duncan’s dance reflected the crisis of not only ballet art, but also Western European culture in the early 20th century. Rejecting the traditions of classical ballet, she expressed the spiritual quest of an entire generation in the new natural plastic. A comparative method and content analysis revealed that Duncan shared Nietzsche’s views on dance, religion, morality and the new type of man. She embodied on the stage the search for harmony between the Dionysian and Apollonian sides of existence, the search for rational and irrational. The dance for her was a kind of philosophical way of proclaiming the value of life itself.
Ideas of Environmental Ethics in the “Philosophy of the Living” by Strachan Donnelly
Authors:   Penza State Agrarian University, Pugacheva Natalya Petrovna
Published: June 2020

The paper analyzes the ethical views of the American philosopher, founder of the Center for Humans and Nature in Illinois, Strachan Donnelly. Thinker, social activist and philanthropist, follower of environmental ethics of O. Leopold argued for a “democratic environmental citizenship”» based on an ethics of responsibility (Hans Jonas), evolutionary biology (Ernst Mayr) and organic philosophy (Alfred North Whitehead). Donnelly called for dialogue among philosophers, biologists, environmentalists, economists, poets and artists from all over the world to preserve the present and future of the earthly world. Donnelly’s book “Philosophy of the Frog Pond: Essays on the Relationship between Humans and Nature”» shows the need to abandon the reductionist philosophy of dead nature and move towards an ethics of individual and collective responsibility towards living nature and human life. The concept of environmental ethics and philosophy of living of Strachan Donnelly is presented to the Russian reader for the first time. The article identifies the origins of Donnelly’s philosophy and shows his contribution to modern ethics and the philosophy of biology. On the example of this teaching, the author shows the possibility of highlighting the ethics of life as a special section of practical philosophy that goes beyond the framework of the «classical» environmental ethics.
The Problem of Analyzing the Identity of a Social Orphan in Existential Ideas of Russian Philosophers of the XIX–XXI Centuries
Authors:   Transnistrian State University, Pogrebnaya Kristina Viktorovna
Published: June 2020

The philosophical and anthropological analysis of the living space of a social orphan is presented in this study. The existence of a person in crisis situations is the most relevant for the existential study of the problems of building a conscious personal identity. When considering the essence of being a social orphan, the author pays special attention to the quintessence of the ideas of existential philosophizing of Russian thinkers of the XIX–XXI centuries. The existential interest in traditional ideas of Russian philosophers is manifested in the ontological understanding of the purpose and meaning of what exists in man, which is also significant for measuring modern problems of life strategies, from the point of view of the biopsychosocial self-actualization of the social orphan. The main theoretical and methodological problems of connection of the phenomenon of social orphanhood with religious and systemic categories: “faith”, “atheism”, “counteraction”, “assistance” and “neutrality” are investigated in this study.
TO THE QUESTION OF «PERSONAL» CRIMINALIZATION OF TORTURE AND THE CONTENT OF ITS MENS REA
Authors:   Kuban state University, Ulitin Ilya Nikolayevich
Published: June 2020

The paper considers the issue of «personal» criminali-zation of torture and the content of its mens rea. The author has studied the characteristics of the qualifica-tion of a criminal offense, the responsibility for which is provided for by paragraph “d” of Part 2 of art. 117 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Based on an analysis of international and the country’s laws, the au-thor concludes that it is necessary to highlight a new article in chapter 16 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The new article should criminalize torture. The work concludes that torture must have qualifying characteristics, which implies the consolidation of dif-ferentiated responsibility depending on objective and subjective signs. The author does not disregard the op-tional signs of mens rea of torture. Torture is always committed only with direct intent and is aimed at achieving a specific goal. The author concludes that when qualifying torture, a law enforcer needs to estab-lish the whole range of optional features of mens rea of the crime, since it is precisely the motives and emo-tions that make it possible to identify the purpose of a criminal act. The aim for the crime in question, in its turn, is an obligatory sign of an element of a crime.
INTERPRETATION OF LAW IN THE SOCIOLOGY OF M. WEBER
Authors:   North Caucasian Federal University, Chesnokov Vladislav Aleksandrovich
Published: June 2020

The paper outlines a relatively little studied part of We-berian sociology, in which the essence of its sociologi-cal and legal views is revealed. We examine the views of M. Weber regarding the issue of understanding and perception of law, from the perspective of sociological interpretation. The question of the influence of socially significant institutions of society on the formation of the image of law in the paradigm of sociological assess-ments is raised. An important place is given to the anal-ysis of legal behavior, characterized by M. Weber, as the most rational. The author analyzes the issue of em-pirical legal understanding, which, in M. Weber’s posi-tion, acts as the basis for the interpretation of law as an observable social reality; the approach is different from the usual legal-dogmatic understanding of law. The study of the Weberian concept of law allows you to take a different look at the assessment of familiar for legal science concepts, such as law, legal understanding, law and order, legality and many others.
TURBULENCE AS A MODERN FEATURE OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS (THE THREAT OF THE DPRK’S NUCLEAR CRISIS AND THE PROBLEM OF THE REUNIFICATION OF THE KOREAN PENINSULA)
Authors:   Kuban State University, Kovrizhnykh Olesia Anatolyevna , Petrov Artem Sergeyevich ,   Transbaikal State University, Nekrasenko Anna Aleksandrovna ,   Kuban State University
Published: June 2020

The study reveals the essence of the problematic is-sues related to the situation on the Korean Peninsula, analyzes the contradictions between the two Korean states and between other powers of North-East Asia, as well as Russia and the United States. The reasons lead-ing to the expansion of the Korean crisis in recent years are characterized. The conclusion is that the turbulence of contemporary international relations will only in-crease in the future, since the negative trends of world politics, such as the arms race, the domination of force methods in world politics instead of diplomatic negoti-ations, hybrid information wars, open provocations, are emerging now (on the example of military exercises conducting by the US and South Korea to demonstrate their strength and power near the borders of the DPRK). The Korean peninsula will continue to remain an im-portant strategic region in the future, which in a latent phase contains many geopolitical challenges and prob-lems, and only the efforts of the international commu-nity and the main players in international relations will determine their successful resolution.

«Морское могущество» КНР: состояние или положение?
Authors: Ovchinnikov P. S. , Barbenko YA. А.
Published: June 2020

В статье анализируется современное состояние КНР в категориях концепции Альфреда Тайера Мэхэна о морском могуществе. Особое внимание уделяется географическому положению, показателям экономического и демографического развития, состоянию морского флота и стилю администрирования. Выявление и группировка факторов «морского могущества» показали, что состояние КНР соответствует критериям Мэхэна, однако её роль как морской державы не может быть квалифицирована как положение «морского могущества».
Based on the concept of sea power by Alfred Thayer Mahan, the authors explore the modern development of the PRC. Particular attention is paid to the state of modern China in which we included its geographical position, economic indicators, demographic characteristics, as well as navy and government administration style. It is worth noting that, in Mahan’s concept of sea power, the main policy tool is the merchant navy, which operates both in peacetime and in wartime. Complementing the theory of geopolitics, we analyzed the modern development of China and estimated the potential of state's sea power. By state, we mean the quality of the object under study, by position, a function of the state of the object that changes its environment, so the position of the object is the result of the state of the object itself and the state of its environment. The identification and grouping of the factors of “sea power” showed that the state of China corresponds to the provisions of the theory, but its position cannot be qualified as the position of “sea power”. However, its fast-growing economy, along with several national and geopolitical strategies of the country can help China achieve the sea power

Time for a Change? A Research Update and Pilot Study Results on Academic Time-Based Decision-Making
Authors: Rupar Nicholas J. , Strong David S.
Published: June 2020

Engineering students in Canada and around the world are facing numerous challenges with their time, including absenteeism from class, surface approach to learning, and high stress levels.  A research study to understand the time management habits of engineering students is ongoing and a pilot study has been completed.  This paper contains an overview of the relevant background theories, the application of these theories to a new survey instrument, and the pilot study used to test and improve this instrument. The new survey instrument on time management and decision making was required as existing instruments published in the literature were considered to be flawed and inadequate for this study.  The new instrument incorporates a decision-making dimension following the think-plan-do models of self-regulated learning theories.  Analysis of this instrument will assume clusters, rather than factors, of time management behaviours to be the basis for grouping individuals. The pilot study was conducted on a number of self-selected graduate engineering students in November 2019.  Participants filled out an online survey and then some volunteered for a think-aloud interview.  Changes resultant from the pilot study analysis included question modifications, Likert scale modifications, and user experience improvements.  The pilot study resulted in an overall improvement to the validity, reliability, and completeness of the survey instrument. The full study is currently being administered to undergraduate engineering students.  The results will be published to help inform the manner in which time management is taught and used by engineering students.
AN EVALUATION OF PEDAGOGICAL METHODS FOR ENGINEERING ETHICS EDUCATION
Authors: Thoo Amanda , Strong David S.
Published: June 2020

Canadian engineers are expected to uphold high ethical standards as part of their responsibility to the profession and society. This expectation is echoed in the CEAB graduate attributes and in the Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer [1],[2]. It is intended that students learn and develop their knowledge of engineering ethics during their undergraduate program, however, North American research in Engineering Ethics Education (EEE) has identified flaws and called into question the efficacy of the current teaching methods being used. Additionally, there is little empirical evidence available to generate any definite conclusions about the pedagogical nature or the efficacies of different EEE teaching methods. As an early phase of research on this topic, this paper presents an evaluation of literature to understand the current state of EEE in North America, including current perceptions of EEE methods and alternate models for EEE. A proposed research direction to begin identifying and understanding issues related to the teaching of engineering ethics is discussed.
“BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS”: DEVELOPMENT OF AN ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY TO ENGINEERING TRANSFER PATHWAY IN CANADA
Authors: Adebola Titilope , Frank Brian , Downie Alexandra , Smith Hannah
Published: June 2020

College pathways significantly improve access to engineering degrees for marginalized or underrepresented students. Although several provinces in Canada have established pathways for students wishing to move from an engineering technology diploma to an engineering degree, such as Newfoundland and Labrador, Alberta, and British Columbia, no province-wide pathway in Ontario’s higher education system exists. As a result, transfer students are faced with a myriad of challenges and limited transfer pathways due to the institution-specific and complex nature of transfer articulation agreements in Ontario.  This paper reports on the development of a province-wide diploma-to-degree engineering transfer pathway in Ontario. The proposed pathway program builds upon findings from a previous qualitative research study conducted by the co-authors which highlighted key factors necessary to develop future large-scale transfer pathways. The pathway was designed with the flexibility to incorporate extant institution specific pathways, while also providing a solid foundation for the development of a pilot multi-institutional bridge program. The challenges associated with creating a streamlined transfer pathway from engineering technology to engineering are myriad, and key outcomes from this project will continue to inform the development of possible approaches to a consistent, Ontario-wide engineering transfer program.
ENGINEERING UNDERGRADUATES AND THEIR SELF-REPORTED CONFIDENCE AND PROFICIENCY LEVELS IN LIFELONG LEARNING (A12)
Authors: Marcynuk Kathryn , Parker Anne , Godavari Norma
Published: June 2020

This paper reports on what we found when we surveyed second-year students in a Technical Communication class, once at the beginning of the semester and again at the end, and then when we surveyed two senior capstone design classes, one in Mechanical Engineering, one in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and one in Civil Engineering. In all these iterations, we asked students to indicate their levels of confidence and proficiency in their writing and speaking skills (communication skills), teamwork and personal skills development (lifelong learning). When we surveyed our second-year students, they indicated that they were only moderately confident in their communication skills (the aggregate was mostly 3 or slightly more on a scale of 5). At the end of the semester, when we asked them what they believed would be the competency level expected of them in these areas when they graduated, that number jumped to 4.5 on average. These students, however, were also decidedly more confident in their teamwork and lifelong learning skills, where the average hovered close to 3.5. On average, the capstone students were likewise confident in these areas, even slightly more so (3.87).  Given the rapidity with which technical information grows and the complexity of the world around us, engineering students must be more prepared than ever to develop the drive to keep learning so that, as practicing professionals, they are equipped to maintain their competence and contribute to the advancement of knowledge.
STRATEGIES FOR ACADEMIC SUCCESS: AN EARLY INTERVENTION APPROACH FOR BUILDING METACOGNITIVE SKILLS IN FIRST-YEAR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Authors: Liepins Alexander S. , Hanson Carrie
Published: June 2020

Strategies for Academic Success is a co-curricular workshop for first-year undergraduates on metacognitive skills and learning strategies that aims to support students’ achievement of their learning goals. After multiple iterations, self-reported data has been collected, which allows us to examine and reflect on the learning strategies and habits that students have put into practice as a result of participating in the session, as well as whether the timing of session plays a role in determining the impacts of the content of study habits in students. In sum, we have found that certain strategies resonate more strongly with students based on whether they are entering university or have had at least one semester of university learning experience. Whereas there are broad applications for the strategies, knowing which strategies students gravitate toward relative to the student life cycle is useful for instructors and student success practitioners more generally.
INVESTIGATING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INSTRUCTOR EXPECTATION AND STUDENT WORKLOAD IN UNDERGRADUATE ENGINEERING
Authors: Wentling Sarah , Variawa Chirag
Published: June 2020

For the past two years at the University of X, first-year engineering undergraduate students have been asked to fill out workload questionnaires. These questionnaires were sent to random samples of the first-year class weekly, where they were prompted to answer questions regarding how much time they devoted outside of the classroom to each particular class. Workload data for 2018 and 2019 showed upward of 30 hours of work outside of the classroom, after the first few weeks of classes once major assignments and examinations began. Evidence in the literature [1,2] suggests that university students face a shortage of time, specifically with first-year students lacking the essential time management skills to be efficient.  In the present study, we aim to find a correlation between how long the first-year engineering students spend on a class each week versus how long instructors anticipate the average student would spend on their respective class. In order to do so, we examined the data gathered for 2018 and 2019 fall terms from each student for a specific class and week. Furthermore, additional relevant information will be gathered from the instructors and course coordinators to obtain an estimate on how many anticipated hours a student would have to spend on a class each week versus how long instructors anticipate the average student would spend on their respective class. In order to do so, we examined the data gathered for 2018 and 2019 fall terms from each student for a specific class and week. Furthermore, additional relevant information will be gathered from the instructors and course coordinators to obtain an estimate on how many anticipated hours a student would have to spend on their course that week, given what assessments are in that week.  Through analyzing multiple courses, we expect to find a relationship that would suggest whether the hours students spend on assignments is less than, equal to, or greater than what instructors expect for first-year engineering students at University of X to spend. The outcome of this analysis would be beneficial to understand the workloads as perceived by professors and experienced by first-year engineering students. Furthermore, it can highlight potential misjudging of difficulty of each course and assignment, helping instructors to update their expectations and propose fair deadlines and grades for assessments. It can also assist program coordinators to distribute major assessments better towards a steadier and more manageable workload for the students. The students can also benefit from the findings to understand their time commitments.
THE ROLE OF RESILIENCE ON EUDAIMONIC WELL-BEING OF FIRST-YEAR UNDERGRADUATE ENGINEERING STUDENTS
Authors: Saxena Sahil , Variawa Chirag
Published: June 2020

First-year undergraduate engineering students are exposed to numerous stressors, including high academic demands and adjusting to new social support networks. Positive adaptations through the use of personal resources e.g. resilience has been associated with improved well-being outcomes in literature. A sample of 8 first-year undergraduate engineering students was examined in terms of i) the prevalence of Eudaimonic Well-Being (EWB) and resilience and ii) the role of resilience on EWB. EWB was assessed using the Flourishing Scale and resilience was measured using the Brief Resilience Scale. Findings uncovered low prevalence of EWB and resilience in the study population. The means of both FS and BRS scores were found to be significantly lower in the study population, compared to findings from other empirical studies. No significant relationship was found between resilience and EWB. Areas for future research is discussed.
ASSESSING AND TRACKING THE FACTORS INFLUENCING STUDENT WELLBEING IN FIRST-YEAR ENGINEERING
Authors: Golsteyn Quentin A. , Ostafichuk Peter M.
Published: June 2020

In recent years, there has been increasing awareness surrounding student wellbeing. The first year of university can be difficult due to the change in expectations and responsibilities associated with this transition. As many of the resources offered to support students are accessible on a voluntary basis, their effectiveness largely depends on their level of usage. Within the first year of the UBC Engineering program, we implemented four interventions looking at identifying potential challenges faced by students, and the resources they see as available. We based our work on a model that represents wellbeing as the balance between challenges and resources. We found that academics are a significant point of focus for students, with grades, second-year placement, and workload making 40% of the stressors throughout the academic year. In addition, discrepancies in academic background and the importance of having a routine were additional themes mentioned by students. COVID-19 was found to have a small impact on student wellbeing, most likely driven by the rapid transition away from student residences and uncertainty caused by the changes in the university’s grading policy. Students had difficulty finding specific resources that could support them throughout the year. Having more opportunities for studying with peers, and having access to what of upper-year students were requested by first-year students.
A systematic literature review on Engineering Entrepreneurship Education Learning Outcomes and Assessment Tools
Authors: Cao Tate Ning. , Huang Shaobo
Published: June 2020

Recent technological advancement is moving our society towards a more innovative and entrepreneurial one. As a result, engineering entrepreneurship education gained popularity and adoption across major education institutes worldwide. Based on a national survey done by Industry Canada, over 98% of Canadian post-secondary institutes offered at least one course in entrepreneurship. Despite this wide adoption, we believe the research on the short-term learning outcomes and assessment for engineering entrepreneur education on students is inadequate. This is often because of the lack of research in the engineering entrepreneurship and the lack of definition of engineering entrepreneurship education learning outcomes. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of 123 studies on entrepreneurship education for undergraduate engineering students in North America in the past 15 years. We examined the learning outcomes defined and desired by major entrepreneurial educational institutes in North America and the assessment methods employed to measure the student learning outcomes. We particularly focused on the alignment between desired learning outcomes and assessment methods employed to study the validity and reliability of common assessment instruments.  In this paper, we report on the results of the systematic literature review, identify the strength of common assessment instruments, and then describe the process we incorporate what we learned from this review into our engineering entrepreneurship education program.

The problem of environmental consciousness in the context of health security during emergency response
Authors: Pronina A. N. , Budyakova T. P.
Published: June 2020

Relevance. There is no element that reflects the safety of environmental actors in modern concepts of environmental consciousness. This circumstance negatively affects the practice of environmental actions, for example, during cleaning household waste or taking part as volunteers in mitigating aftermath of natural emergencies.

Intention. To identify aspects of environmental actions that may pose a risk to the health of students due to lack of awareness.

Methodology. In 2019, 60 first-year students of Yelets State Ivan Bunin University aged 17–18 were surveyed. Their awareness of the safety of environmental activities at school age was revealed.

Results and Discussion. The survey showed that the problem of safety of environmental actors is especially relevant for schoolchildren. Due to insufficient knowledge in the field of hygiene or health effects of household waste and, in general, the danger of natural emergencies, they are unprotected both in environmental and legal aspects. At the same time, due to increased suggestibility, young people readily respond to environmental calls about protecting nature. Gaps in the environmental consciousness in terms of ensuring their own safety can lead to negative consequences for students in more complex environmental circumstances, for example, emergency situations requiring the involvement of population.

Conclusion. The necessity of developing regulatory documents on the safe behavior of the population involved in some environmental activities is substantiated.
Evaluation of time factor of providing emergency medical care for victims of road traffic accidents on the federal highway M-8 “Kholmogory”
Authors: Baranov A. V. , Barachevsky Yu. E.
Published: June 2020

Relevance. Road traffic injuries, having the nature of a global epidemic, pose an urgent medical and social problem. Among victims of road traffic accidents, mortality is many times higher than that of victims who were injured under other circumstances. The survival of victims in road accidents depends on the timeliness, quality and capacity of emergency medical care, on the competence of care providers and on the effectiveness of the organization of this type of medical care at the prehospital stage.

Intention – to estimate the time of providing emergency medical care for victims on the federal highway M-8 “Kholmogory” on the territory of the Arkhangelsk region.

Methodology. The material of the study was a sample of 906 medical records (form 003/y) for victims of the road accidents, who were admitted to hospitals of Arkhangelsk region in the period from 01.01.2012 to 31.12.2018. Registered forms were selected according to the criteria of retrospective full-design documentary observation. Differences between the observation groups were considered statistically significant at level of p < 0.05 as adjusted for multiple comparisons (Bonferroni correction).

Results and Discussion. Time factor of emergency medical care on the federal highway M-8 “Kholmogory” in 3 medical districts of the Arkhangelsk region was characterized. The ambulance teams arrived at the place of accident within 20 minutes in 30 (3.3 %) cases, from 21 to 40 minutes – in 345 (38.1 %) cases, from 41 to 60 minutes – in 299 (33 %) cases and over a period of more than 1 hour – in 232 (25.6 %) cases. There was no statistically significant difference in time of providing emergency medical care for victims with isolated, multiple and concomitant traumas.

Conclusion. It was shown that in 74.4 % of cases (p < 0.001) ambulance arrived at the site of a road accident earlier than 60 minutes. The largest number of cases of providing emergency medical care exceeding 60 minutes was noted in the Arkhangelsk Medical District – 28.4 % (p < 0.013), and the lowest –in the Severodvinsk Medical District – 18.3 %. In more than a quarter (26 %) of cases the emergency medical care was provided for victims with polytrauma beyond the 60 minutes period, with most of them in the Arkhangelsk Medical District (p = 0.004).

Authors: Babachenko Larysa , Kovshun Khrystyna , Portna Yuliia
Published: June 2020

У статті через синтез таких понять, як «конкурентоспроможність», «конкурентна перевага» та «конкурентні стратегії» визначено сутність та необхідність управління конкурентоспроможністю підприємства в сучасних умовах. Проаналізовано ефективність управління конкурентоспроможністю підприємства як певного аспекту менеджменту підприємства. Встановлено, що система управління конкурентоспроможністю спрямована на формування, розвиток і реалізацію конкурентних переваг, забезпечення життєздатності підприємства як суб’єкта економічної конкуренції, оскільки конкурентоспроможність є найважливішою порівняльною характеристикою результатів діяльності підприємства в гострій боротьбі за споживача. Зростаюча актуальність необхідності управління конкурентоспроможністю підприємств в Україні зумовлюється складністю процесів ринкових економічних відносин і тими зрушеннями, що відбуваються під час інтеграції у світогосподарські процеси. Саме тому постає необхідність реалізації процесів пошуку, формування і розвитку конкурентних переваг для підвищення конкурентоспроможності, що, у свою чергу, зумовлює створення системи управління ними.
ПРОБЛЕМИ ПОБУДОВИ СТРАТЕГІЇ ПІДПРИЄМСТВА В СУЧАСНИХ УКРАЇНСЬКИХ РЕАЛІЯХ
Authors: Minina Oksana
Published: June 2020

У статті розглянуто основні проблеми побудови стратегії підприємства в сучасних українських реаліях, для чого їх було поділено на два основні блоки – проблеми формування і проблеми реалізації стратегії. Проблеми формування пов’язані переважно зі складністю, невизначеністю, мінливістю та багатоваріантністю розвитку зовнішнього середовища підприємства, недостовірністю інформації про його стан, а також відсутністю навичок моделювання і побудови математичних сценаріїв розвитку подій. Проблеми реалізації стратегії пов’язані з низьким рівнем знань, умінь і компетенцій виконавців. Вирішення проблем побудови ефективних стратегій лежить у площині відбору кадрів, їх навчання та «випробування» на практиці.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Socioeconomic life and Psychology of Transgenders: Insights from India
Authors: Sugyanta Priyadarshini  , Sukanta Chandra Swain
Published: June 2020

India's COVID-19 lockdown has left transgender people at heightened risk of hunger and poverty since most of them make their living on streets by begging, street entertainment, and paid sex. They are not socially privileged to operate within the online world as they are predominantly dependent on social interactions and functions such as weddings or baby showers. Ideology is endangering transgender people from coronavirus. Transgender people are a socially marginalized community who is forced into slums where social distancing is challenging, making it a hotbed for Coronavirus. Further, the absence of healthcare backup and lack of awareness increases the looming fear among the transgender community regarding the budding impact of COVID-19. A substantial rate of economic instability, as well as social discrimination, was visible before the pandemic, thereby worsening their situation with a lack of food, fund, insecurity, safety, and mental health concern during COVID-19. This study focuses on the impact of the Coronavirus crisis on the socioeconomic life of Transgender people taking into account the explosion in unemployment, adding to an already disproportionate healthcare support system pushing them further to the margins. The study comes forward with useful suggestions based on content analysis of published and aired information to reduce the existing woes of transgender people during COVID-19.

This research aims to determine the effect of lifestyle, motivation, perception, and attitude on the decision to purchase environmentally friendly straw products among the postgraduate students of management at the faculty of Economic and Business, Hasanuddin University.

The samples as the object of this study consisted of 150 students. The data are analyzed using path analysis with the help of SPSS 25.use in this research is path analysis with the help of SPSS 25.

The results of the research indicate that the lifestyle, motivation, perception, and attitude variables positively affect the purchasing decision mediated by purchasing interest, but there are only three variables that do not significantly have an effect on purchasing decisions, i.e. motivation and attitude as well as perception on purchasing interest.
Drawing Canyon: Sfumato presences in drawing and landscape
Authors: Twose Simon , Moloney Jules
Published: June 2020

Drawings are fields of multiple, hovering presences. A rapidly sketched line in an architectural drawing, of say, a landscape, describes its form but can also record its presence, evoking vastness or a dynamic material potential. Yet the sketch is itself imbued with presence; smudges, blurs and erasures record the rapid actions of pencil over paper in the draughtsperson’s pursuit of an architectural idea. The blurs of graphite are evidence of hand and mind moving over paper and, at the same time, massive atmospheric potentials of rock, mud and sea. In this way, the sketched mark continually hovers between being a smudge of graphite and an immense landscape, the presences in both inflecting one another as if sfumato lights and darks in a painting. This paper reports on Canyon, an experimental drawing project that intensifies drawing’s capacity for sfumato presences by sketching a submarine landscape using a multi-modal technique. Canyon attempts to develop an ever-emergent, nascent architecture from presences in drawing and landscape through analogue sketches, VR and soundscapes. The first stage of Canyon was exhibited at the Palazzo Bembo in the XVI Venice Biennale, 2018.
Canyon draws presences from the dynamic undersea landscape of Kaikōura Canyon, Aotearoa/New Zealand. A series of hand sketches, soundscapes and virtual reality (VR) distils an architectural sense of the bathymetry and vast body of water of the canyon, recently jolted by huge forces in the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake. This submarine landscape is known through instrumental descriptions: sonic scans, digital models and scientific data, yet its powerful and ominous spatial presence is less easy to record. The Canyon drawings project into this unseen, imagined space, drawing its ominous presence through smudged and irresolute sketches that are intensified in a VR environment and in a series of immersive soundscapes. This hybrid, multi-sensorial drawing technique attempts to make presences in drawing and in the Kaikōura Canyon share the same space, as an inhabitable, open sketch.
This work proposes hybrid drawing as an open medium figured by presences in drawing and in landscape. It resonates with Jean Luc Nancy’s notion of drawing as the opening of form, indicating “the traced figure’s ‘essential incompleteness, a non-closure or non-totalizing of form’” (Nancy 2013: 1). We extend the openness of gestural, analogue sketching to the digital and sensorial, and argue that VR, and sound, can be sketch-like: they too are figured by “recalcitrant, ‘meaningless’ smears and blotches” (Elkins 1995: 860). We argue these hybrid, “non-semiotic” marks draw presences, from material, scale and sense in drawing and landscape: presences that hover in sfumato relation, pointing to a sketch-like, ever-emergent architecture.
On some model equations for pulsatile flow in viscoelastic vessels

Published: June 2020

© 2019 Considered here is the derivation of partial differential equations arising in pulsatile flow in pipes with viscoelastic walls. The equations are asymptotic models describing the propagation of long-crested pulses in pipes with cylindrical symmetry. Additional effects due to viscous stresses in bio-fluids are also taken into account. The effects of viscoelasticity of the vessels on the propagation of solitary and periodic waves in a vessel of constant radius are being explored numerically.

On the multi-symplectic structure of Boussinesq-type systems. II: Geometric discretization
Authors: Durán A , Dutykh D , Mitsotakis Dimitrios
Published: June 2020

© 2019 Elsevier B.V. In this paper we consider the numerical approximation of systems of BOUSSINESQ-type to model surface wave propagation. Some theoretical properties of these systems (multi-symplectic and HAMILTONIAN formulations, well-posedness and existence of solitary-wave solutions)were previously analysed by the authors in Part I. As a second part of the study, considered here is the construction of geometric schemes for the numerical integration. By using the method of lines, the geometric properties, based on the multi-symplectic and HAMILTONIAN structures, of different strategies for the spatial and time discretizations are discussed and illustrated.
On the multi-symplectic structure of Boussinesq-type systems. I: Derivation and mathematical properties
Authors: Durán A , Dutykh D , Mitsotakis Dimitrios
Published: June 2020

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. The BOUSSINESQ equations are known since the end of the XIXst century. However, the proliferation of various BOUSSINESQ-type systems started only in the second half of the XXst century. Today they come under various flavors depending on the goals of the modeler. At the beginning of the XXIst century an effort to classify such systems, at least for even bottoms, was undertaken and developed according to both different physical regimes and mathematical properties, with special emphasis, in this last sense, on the existence of symmetry groups and their connection to conserved quantities. Of particular interest are those systems admitting a symplectic structure, with the subsequent preservation of the total energy represented by the HAMILTONIAN. In the present paper a family of BOUSSINESQ-type systems with multi-symplectic structure is introduced. Some properties of the new systems are analyzed: their relation with already known BOUSSINESQ models, the identification of those systems with additional HAMILTONIAN structure as well as other mathematical features like well-posedness and existence of different types of solitary-wave solutions. The consistency of multi-symplectic systems with the full EULER equations is also discussed.

© 2020 Elsevier Inc. In this paper we consider the numerical solution of Boussinesq-Peregrine type systems by the application of the Galerkin finite element method. The structure of the Boussinesq systems is explained and certain alternative nonlinear and dispersive terms are compared. A detailed study of the convergence properties of the standard Galerkin method, using various finite element spaces on unstructured triangular grids, is presented. Along with the study of the Peregrine system, a new Boussinesq system of BBM-BBM type is derived. The new system has the same structure in its momentum equation but differs slightly in the mass conservation equation compared to the Peregrine system. Further, the finite element method applied to the new system has better convergence properties, when used for its numerical approximation. Due to the lack of analytical formulas for solitary wave solutions for the systems under consideration, a Galerkin finite element method combined with the Petviashvili iteration is proposed for the numerical generation of accurate approximations of line solitary waves. Various numerical experiments related to the propagation of solitary and periodic waves over variable bottom topography and their interaction with the boundaries of the domains are presented. We conclude that both systems have similar accuracy when approximate long waves of small amplitude while the Galerkin finite element method is more efficient when applied to BBM-BBM type systems.
