Authors: OLISHEVSKYI ILLIA
Published: July 2024

The development of energy-efficient indoor management systems, involving the current engineering and technical solutions to control and optimize energy consumption, is both relevant and promising area. This allows addressing the issues of saving energy resources; improving energy efficiency; and strengthening energy independence. The use of geothermal heat pumps and air conditioning systems with heat utilization are the advanced areas for the development of energy-efficient technologies in the construction sector. The paper concerns the study of technical-functional and energy characteristics, and parameters of a residential building heat supply system with integrated automated control means by synthesizing computer-oriented and computer-integrated models of heating and air conditioning systems using a geothermal heat pump and a thermal accumulator which will increase the energy efficiency of the building and optimize the use of thermal energy throughout the year. The object of study is the processes of accumulation, distribution and utilization of thermal energy in heating and air conditioning systems. The subject of the study is computer-aided models of indoor heat supply including a geothermal heat pump, a thermal accumulator and a radiator heating system as well as an air conditioning system with the possibility of heat utilization. The main scientific and practical effect of the obtained results is the development of computer-oriented models of indoor heating and air conditioning systems which, unlike the previously known ones, implement adaptive heat utilization to the heat accumulator for hot water supply needs. Further promising research in the areas will expand and deepen the scientific substantiation of software and hardware solutions aimed at improving the energy efficiency of heat engineering industrial and household facilities and processes.

Considers the use of the BBC Microbit educational microcomputer to introduce the basics of programming to pupils and students in non-technical majors. The paper presents a comparison of the use of single-board computers. The available visual programming environment, as well as a large number of input and output devices on a single-board computer board, makes it much easier to interact with the environment.
It is noted that the board can be programmed using visual block programming language, javascript or using Python. If you wish, you can load other systems into Micro:bit, for example, mbed OS and write in C++, but these are already opportunities for students of initial courses of technical specialties. It was determined that the board has an ARM Cortex-M0 processor, 256KB Flash ROM, 16KB RAM, 16MHz clock frequency. There is also BTLE support, a 2.4GHz peer-to-peer transmitter (101 channels), an accelerometer, a compass, a thermometer, and a line of GPIO pins. Even if there is no fee, there is a full-fledged simulator right in the browser, in which you can test all the functions of the program. Ready-made "blocks" are available to the student with many different functions: from simple input-output to sound reproduction or machine control. The board can be programmed using visual block programming language, javascript or Python. The Python programming language has a very simple, but simple editor, and the student can write the code independently.
The work shows that the BBC Microbit microcomputer allows to simplify the process of learning program algorithms through the use of a visual programming environment. And the use of functional extensions with the use of third-party modules provides additional opportunities for creating powerful software applications.

One of the top research topics in computer vision area is visual object tracking. Main goal is to obtain the target object’s location in the first video frame of a given video sequence. The recent innovations of deep neural networks, specifically Siamese networks has significant impact on visual object tracking. In spite of high accuracy and high results in academic benchmarks, there are drawbacks in current state-of-the-art approaches in particular compute-intensive and large memory footprint that cannot satisfy the performance requirements of real-world applications. The aim of this paper is to design a new lightweight framework for resource-efficient and accurate visual object tracking. To add, a new tracker  of efficiency benchmark and protocol were introduced. Efficiency is defined in terms of both energy consumption and execution speed on edge devices. New dual template representation for object model adaptation was developed. The first template, static, fixes the original visible appearance and thus prevents deviation and, as a result, failures caused by adaptation. The other is dynamic; the state reflects the current conditions of assembly and the appearance of its object. Unlike STARK, which incorporates additional timing information by introducing a separate estimation prediction head, we introduce parameter-free module similarity as a template update rule optimized from the latest network. We show that the learned convex combination of two patterns is effective for tracking on multiple tests. A lightweight tracker was proposed, which includes functions, dual representation of patterns and pixel-by-pixel merged blocks in its compact network. The resulting FEAR-XS tracker runs at 205 FPS on the iPhone 11, which is 4.2 times faster than LightTrack and 26.6 times faster than Ocean, with high accuracy on many tests – no state-of-the-art tracker is more accurate and faster than any FEAR tracker. In addition, the algorithm is highly energy efficient.

Published: July 2024

This research is grounded in Decision Number: 2939/Pdt.G/2023, wherein the presiding magistrate rendered a verdict of Verstek in his consideration of the case. In such cases, the decision is rendered by the court in the absence of either the defendant or their legal representative. The validity of a verstek verdict in the context of the legitimacy of a marriage may be contingent upon the applicable legislation within the jurisdiction in question; thus, this investigation will consider both positive law and Islamic law. The objective of this article is to undertake a critical analysis of the decision rendered in Decision Number: 2939/Pdt.G/2023, which pertains to the use of a verstek decision to terminate a marriage due to childlessness, followed by disputes and quarrels. This research is a normative legal study with a case-based approach. The principal data source is derived from court decisions in the field of marriage law. The analysis reveals that, in Decision Number: 2939/Pdt.G/2023, a verdict of divorce by verstek is considered valid if the stipulated procedures have been followed correctly and the party who is required to be present or provide a defence does not do so without a valid reason. Islamic law also establishes principles of justice and protection of individual rights, including in the marriage process. Accordingly, the legitimacy of a marriage concluded through a verstek verdict may be contingent upon the interpretation of Islamic schools of thought and the legal principles that are embraced. Likewise, in the context of marriage law in Indonesia, a verstek decision in a verstek divorce case can be recognized as valid if it has fulfilled the requirements stipulated in the law. Thus, to determine whether a verstek decision in a marriage is valid or not, it is necessary to consider the applicable legal context, both in terms of civil law and in terms of Islamic law (fiqh) or the applicable marriage law.

The article is devoted to the prospects of teaching using a practice- oriented approach to the study of smart technologies in the preparation of future computer science teachers. Currently, the trend of production development, changes in society, technical and technological progress require new results from the higher education system. Therefore, the issue of professionally trained, competent specialists ready to find solutions to the problems they will face in the future is considered one of the most pressing tasks facing universities. The relevance of the research lies in the analysis of the results of scientific empirical research conducted using a practice-oriented method of training future specialists in universities. The practice-oriented method of training provides stages of interaction with all subjects of the educational process, joint solution of educational tasks, and modeling of situations. A distinctive feature of this method from others is not only the practical development of tasks, but also their correlation with real life and focus on solving problems. During the study and generalization of scientific literature, the results of research aimed at studying such fields of knowledge as computer science, design and teaching programming technologies using a practice-oriented approach were obtained. The PRISMA method was applied to scientific research that was received by filtering information from the database. Based on the collected data, an analysis of the information and the methods used was carried out, as well as the methods and techniques that were used in accordance with the subject of the study were analyzed. The study showed that the use of a practice-oriented approach makes it possible to get better results in the training of future specialists.
Ideas of sustainable development as a condition for the integrity of the content of environmental education
Authors: Dzyatkovskaya E.N. ,   Institute for Strategy of Education Development
Published: July 2024

In the 21st century, the ideas of sustainable development has become system-forming in all spheres of society. The goals of transition to the biosphere-compatible model of socio-economic development determine the key strategies of changes in economy, education, and culture. The ideas of sustainable development are penetrating into the content of education based on the process of ecologization of educational subjects. Ecological components of education, as a potential receptor of sustainable development ideas, are present in the content of almost all educational subjects. However, the problem of their coherence among themselves has not been solved so far. The continuing fragmentation of environmental content reduces the effectiveness of mastering the ideas of sustainable development and the formation of a modern scientific picture of the world. The author proposes to consider the problem of the integrity of environmental components of general education in interrelation with the realization of cross-cutting value and worldview lines of education for sustainable development. On the example of the key concept of education for sustainable development “ecological imperative” the possibilities of including the vector of sustainable development in environmental education are considered.

The article is dedicated to solving modern important problems in the field of preschool pedagogy. At the pre-school education level, learning is focused on specific content areas and the curriculum is designed to provide different skills and competencies through domains of learning. Required skills and competences have been developed in the Handbook of Preschool Education Curriculum and its implementation, based on the domains of learning in kindergartens. The competencies defined in the Measuring Early Learning Quality and Outcomes (MELQO) that required to be acquired by preschool children were reviewed and the competences included in the Mongolian curriculum were also analyzed in comparison with MELQO. Learning outcomes and competencies were defined in the preschool education curriculum in Mongolia, which are incorporated in domains of learning in kindergartens. Those learning outcomes and competences are found to be relatively consistent when compared with MELQO. However, the results of the analysis showed that some competence\skills, such as moral values and learning approaches need to be formulated, and implemented in the curriculum in accordance with the characteristics of the national culture, and heritage of the country. This study presents some results of competence analysis of the preschool curriculum of Mongolia compared to international competences.

This article is devoted to the analysis of the balance of development of reflective skills among higher education lecturers in the process of scientific and pedagogical activity. The analysis is conducted in two directions: reflection on the activity (reflection of the result) and reflection in the activity (reflection of the process of obtaining the result). The authors present an analysis of two aspects of reflection on the example of teaching language disciplines in the specialty "Foreign Language: Two Foreign Languages" on the basis of JSC "Kostanay Regional University named after A. Baitursynov". A total of 12 teachers from higher education institutions participated in the initial phase of the research. An algorithm for implementing the balance of development of the reflective skills of HEI (higher educational institution) lecturers has been developed. The article presents the initial and intermediate results of the participation of the HEI lecturers in the program "Media Literacy - Reflection on / in action", built on the basis of a massive open online course of the Coursera web platform. The available results obtained in the course of the study indicate the presence of the imbalance in the development of skills for reflecting the process of obtaining a result and reflecting the result itself on the basis of digital resources. The presented program has a balanced influence on the formation of two types of reflection of HEI lecturers - reflection on activity (the effective, control and measuring / assessing component of the pedagogical activity, the aspect of assessment, self-assessment, peer assessment of teaching results), and reflection of the activity itself (methodological and technological component of pedagogical activity, aspect of stage-by-stage planning, forecasting, mapping and foresight of the prospects for the development of the process of implementing the pedagogical activity itself in the higher educational institutions).
Efectos de la demora sobre la respuesta de procuración u obtención en la acumulación de reforzadores

Most studies on food accumulation by rats involve two different response classes: earn and collect. However, in the majority of experiments accumulated food has only been delayed from the earn response. By contrast, the present study compared the effects of delayed reinforcement on both earn and collect responses. The procedure involved three successive components; an earn component in which earn responses increased the number of foods accumulated, a collect component where collect responses programmed the delivery of the reinforcers and a delay component the duration of which was lengthened to 0, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 s. The study compared two experimental conditions that differed only in the location of the delay component. For the earn condition, three rats each were exposed to a chained FI 30 s FT t FR1 while for the collect condition three different rats were each exposed to a chained FI 30 s FR1 FT t. For both conditions t was either 0, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32. During the FI component, each lever press on the earn response increased the number of food pellets to be delivered at the end of the trial. Lengthening reinforcement delay in both conditions increased the number of accumulated food. Also, food accumulated per trial diminished along the session suggesting that rats could have satiated during the first trials thus decreasing the response rate of later trials. Results showed that delay of reinforcement have different effects on response rate depending on which response class is contingent to. If the delay follows the earn response, increasing delay gradients are obtained for the earn response while decreasing delay gradients are obtained for the collect response thus having two different delay gradients on the same subject. However, when the delay follows the collect response a decreasing delay gradient is obtained for the earn response. These findings replicate the results of other researchers showing that accumulated food increases as a function of the delay of reinforcement. However, even though the food accumulated increased in both conditions, response rate for the earn response only increased when the delay of reinforcement followed the earn component.

To develop text comprehension assessments, based on stimuli control relations present during reading, enables to give support to program individualized teaching procedures to Elementary School students. The present study aimed to test an alternative text comprehension assessment from the Brazil Proof, called Reading and Writing Diagnostic (DLE-3) of different textual genres. This assessment has four categories of analysis considering the relationship between the excerpts of texts and the multiple-choice questions (reading), and five categories of analysis for the essay questions (writing). This assessment was elaborated considering the descriptors that are used in the Brazil Proof, as well as structural aspects that would guarantee to evaluate levels of comprehension that required varied complexity. The DLE-3 was applied to 194 students from 3rd and 5th grades of public schools. Both groups of students in 3rd and 5th grades presented deficient performances, indicating greater difficulties for the questions that required inferential answers, and demonstrated little point-to-point text correspondence in the essay questions. It was observed a continuum in terms of difficulty regarding the categories analyzed. The assessment also enables to analyze the student’s repertoires in an individualized way. It is suggested to use it as a follow-up tool of the progress regarding reading and writing of text comprehension for students in the literacy phase to plan individualized interventions.
El objeto de la psicología como ciencia: relación sin “cuerpo-substancia”
Authors: Ribes-Iñesta Emilio ,   Universidad Veracruzana
Published: July 2024

The subject matter of psychology as a science is examined from the viewpoint of the phenomenology of ‘mental’ expressions in ordinary language practices. Different historical attempts to provide body and substance to the subject matter of psychology are revisited: Descartes, Brentano, McDougall, and Watson. The overcoming of this erroneus trend by the field logic proposed by J.R. Kantor, conceiving psychology as relation between an individual and a stimulus object, is examined. Implications of this formulation are discussed in regard to the widening and extensión of the domain of psychoogical phenomena to the animal kingdom, the relationships of psychology with ecobiology and historical social science conceiving psychology as a coextensive science, the concept of ‘individual’ as an outcome of the processes of speciation or socialization, and the density occupied by psychological behavior in the continua of biological and social behaviors.
Usos do termo emoção na obra de B. F. Skinner

Although emotions are considered relevant phenomena in diverse psychologies, the concepts used in the psychological literature are divergent because they are approached by different authors in different philosophical contexts. However, Radical Behaviorism is often accused of neglecting emotions. The objective of this article was to evaluate the pertinence of these criticism. For this propose, the uses of the term emotion in Skinner’s work were searched and systematized. It was a theoretical-conceptual research carried out in three stages. The first stage consisted in selecting texts in which Skinner employed the term “emotion”, as well as similar words or expressions, such as: “emotional”, “emotive”, and so on. To do so, a search for these terms was performed using the computer’s Ctrl + F command in Skinner’s books in pdf format. The search was made from the radical “emot”. The second stage was a comparison of the uses of the term “emotion” selected in from the previous stage, in order to evaluate the continuity or rupture in Skinnerian’s treatment of the subject. Thereby, each of the identified terms and their respective sections were cut out and transcribed into tables in order to facilitate comparison. The tables contained four columns: the keyword, the section in which it appears, an interpretative comment, and the categorization according to the conver- gences found. In the third stage it was performed a categorization of the meanings of the term “emotion” found in Skinner’s work. This classification was made in the last column of the table described in the previous step. The uses of the terms and the elaboration of the categories attest that Skinner discuss emotions practically from the beginning to the end of his work. The convergences of the terms related to emotions allow to delineate a Skinnerian theory of emotions, which remains the same, even with the adoption of the operant model. In this theory, emotion is defined as an immediate and temporary change in the strength of behaviors that composes a behavioral repertoire. In this emotional state, while certain responses have a high probability of occurrence, other responses have a low probability. The only difference promoted by the operant model is that with its adoption, Skinner begins to consider that in an emotional state both reflex and operant responses occur. The occurrences of the emotional terms throughout the work contradict, therefore, the criticisms traditionally directed to the Skinnerian theory in which it ignores the importance of emotions. The difficulty in understanding the notion of state seems to be one of the reasons why Skinner’s theory of emotions is still little discussed, even in behavioral literature. The comprehension of Skinner’s theory of emotions seems to depend directly on the interpretation of the philosophical commitments of Radical Behaviorism.
Reflexões sobre a discussão do (in)determinismo na Análise do Comportamento brasileira
Authors: Rodrigues Nathan ,   Universidade Federal do Paraná, Strapasson Bruno ,   Universidade Federal do Paraná
Published: July 2024

Although determinism can be defined as one of the philosophical principles of radical behaviorism, the definition of that concept and the consequences of its adoption for the production of knowledge in Behavior Analysis are still debatable. In the current debate about determinism and its opposing thesis, indeterminism, there are propositions which are gaining notoriety in the Brazilian discussion of those subjects. In this essay, two propositions have been highlighted, since their philosophical aspects do not completely fit previous taxonomies of the subject: one states that Behavior Analysis should be a determinist science, proposed by Dittrich and Strapasson; and another states that indeterminism is a valid alternative to be adopted, and perhaps a more desirable one, proposed by Laurenti and collaborators. Those two theses are compared regarding their ontological and epistemological commitments, the practical consequences of said commitments and the arguments in favor of each thesis. Conceptual divergences were found in the definition of determinism and indeterminism presented by those groups of authors, moreover, both theses fail to properly define each other (i. e., aspects of the determinist thesis are ignored by the indeterminist thesis and vice-versa). Although the two theses are irreconcilable if one is to consider only their ontological commitments, we identified few differences from a practical standpoint, based on their epistemological commitments. One of the epistemological commitments identified, which is related to the motivational value of determinism and indeterminism, states that the adoption of determinism or indeterminism is useful to maintain and encourage scientific activity, for their own set of reasons in each case. Those reasons, we argue, are insufficient to properly distinguish the practical consequences of determinism and indeterminism. At the same time, both theses assert some sort of limitation to the human knowledge, thus explaining the probabilistic aspect of data. Therefore, the solution to the debate between determinism and indeterminism in Behavior Analysis seems to not reside in the immediate consequences of the adoption of those theses. We highlight that the communication with other fields of knowledge, such as Biology and Physics, through a detailed conceptual analysis, is a promising endeavor to support an eventual prescription of one of those theories to behavior analysts.
A que servem os “ismos” em debates acadêmicos e científicos?*
Authors: Dittrich Alexandre ,   Universidade Federal do Paraná
Published: July 2024

The use of “isms” to denominate communities that share certain practices is a common procedure, with a long historical tradition. Philosophy, the root of all systematic forms of investigation and reflexion, is ripe with such labels, but they are also pervasive in the scientific realm. In this essay we have two goals: (1) to present a behavior-analytic interpretation of the processes that give rise to “isms”; (2) to point out positive aspects of the use of “isms”, but also to warn against the perils of such use, suggesting some ways to soften or prevent them. Regarding goal (1), we conclude that “isms” are verbal operants under the control of features of the behavior of members of certain communities, which emerge from intra-class generalization and inter-class discrimination processes. Regarding goal (2), we argue that the “isms” allow the identification of the usual practices among the members of the various verbal communities, granting an “identity” to those communities and facilitating collective work toward common objectives. The complexification and ramification of the “isms” may contribute to a more precise identification of such practices. However, the “isms” may also cause us to “forget the differences” between individuals and groups, thus treating them in a homogeneous way and simplifying complex behavioral relations. Such simplification may give rise to social prejudices and stereotypes, also promoting isolation (creating “ideological bubbles”) and harming scientific and intellectual advance. We suggest that it’s possible to soften or prevent such perils by recognizing intellectual diversity and complexity, fostering the diversity of perspectives, refraining from definitions of “isms” based on essentialism or authority, specifying which proposals of any “ism” we are criticizing when doing so, recognizing that a well-based criticism to some “ism” is a collaboration to it, promoting empathy and courtesy in academic debates and, finally, fostering collaborative interactions between the “isms”, as long as theoretical coherence remains preserved. To behavior analysis in particular, such conclusions suggest that the contributions of other behavioral sciences must be evaluated under the control of their practices, not the “isms” that they represent. Skinner insisted upon the complexity of behavior as a scientific subject matter, and although behavior analysis has made an original and maybe crucial contribution to the understanding of such complexity, there are many other behavioral sciences - biological, psychological and sociological. Clearly, we shouldn’t accept all the practices of such sciences without criticism, but we must recognize that there are many ways of producing relevant data that can help us understand behavior - and all of them, with no exceptions, has their own limitations.
Por uma práxis social comunitária em Análise do Comportamento

Published: July 2024

Based on the traditional departure from the Behavior Analysis in relation to the humanities and the social reality of the majority of the population, our proposal is to discuss the interlocution possibility between own objectives of a communitarian social praxis and radical behaviorist projects. As analysis focus, are presented questions about radical behavioral philosophy and its social and cultural approach, while Community Social Psychology is presented as a politicization movement from psychology in the Latin American context, in a praxiological perspective for social transformation through actions communities. By their praxiological orientation, the Community Social Psychology objectives are, at the same time, work goals, ethical-political values and theoretical categories. Of these, we approached the popular awareness, demanding an approach about the subject of the sensibility and self-knowledge; the autonomy strengthening, described in terms about favoring the effectiveness in social countercontrol, in self-control and search for equity; and the confrontation to the fatalism, discussed on perspective of the dispute between essentialist ideologies and a historical understanding about the social control processes. We analyze the possibilities of interlocution between concepts and ethical-political demands, as well the implications for to do behavior analysis. Our findings indicate the possibility of a radical behaviorist understanding about such objectives, as well as the coherence of its praxiological appropriation. It is pointed out the community social praxis approach and populational majorities, as a proposal of responsible insertion of behavioral analysts in the social relevance themes and the form of implementation of social transformation projects in the scope of Radical Behaviorism.

Empreendedorismo é uma temática que faz parte do mundo dos negócios e dos currículos universitários de alguns cursos. Entretanto, poucos trabalhos buscaram medir a eficácia de disciplinas de empreendedorismo na universidade. Portanto, o presente artigo buscou analisar se alunos que fizeram a disciplina de empreendedorismo possuíam um maior perfil empreendedor, capacidade empreendedora e intenção empreendedora. Por meio de estatística multivariada em uma amostra de 109 alunos da Universidade Federal do Pampa (UNIPAMPA), descobriu-se que a princípio, a disciplina de empreendedorismo e o tipo de curso não influenciam o perfil empreendedor, a capacidade e a intenção empreendedora. Por outro lado, a intenção empreendedora é mais intensa para quem possui um negócio.

Authors: Lehfid Ahmed
Published: July 2024

This article examines the portrayal of patriarchal systems and forms of resistance within Nawal Saadawi’s A Daughter of Isis: The Early Life of Nawal El Saadawi and Fatima Mernissi’s Dreams of Trespass: Tales of a Harem Girlhood. That is, the study navigates through the narratives, characters, and socio-cultural contexts that are depicted in both literary works while using an analytical approach. It starts with examining the influence of patriarchal structures on women’s lives, identities, and agency. By doing so, the article explores the forms and shapes of patriarchy that result in creating gender inequality. Moreover, the research sheds light on the various acts of resistance that are adopted by several characters to challenge and fight patriarchal constraints. In other words, this article explores the extent to which a multiplicity of characters fight against the oppressive system of patriarchy through various acts and behaviours. This means that the study sheds light on the enduring struggle for women’s rights and liberation in Arab societies. By examining two literary works from two different countries, the present study examines the similarities and differences between them to evaluate the extent to which Arab women are considered a homogenous group that experiences the same forms of oppression.

Authors: Jiali Zhu  , Xia Lin
Published: July 2024

Based on the negative electronic word of mouth (NeWOM) under the live streaming platform, the paper aims to explore the mechanism of proactive and reactive webcare on customer brand loyalty. We constructed three separate experiments with no webcare, proactive webcare, and reactive webcare in response to NeWOM during the live streaming platform. In this study, 210 valid questionnaires were collected for statistical analysis, including the Mann-Whitney U test and Pearson correlation analysis. Our findings reveal that proactive and reactive webcare positively influence cognitive, emotional, and behavioral engagement, with proactive webcare demonstrating greater effectiveness. We confirm a positive correlation between these forms of engagement and brand loyalty, highlighting the strong connection between behavioral engagement and brand loyalty. At the same time, this study provides crucial inspiration for the live-streaming platform managers to focus on providing proactive webcare and develop behavioral activities in live-steaming platforms to enhance customers’ brand loyalty.

This paper analysed passengers’ traffic of the Abuja-Kaduna train service (AKTS). The AKTS is gaining recognition and increasing patronage of high-profile individuals, private car owners, and other passengers plying the Abuja-Kaduna road for various reasons (Suleiman, 2023; Suleiman, 2021). Data used for this study was obtained through both primary and secondary sources of data. The primary data involved the administration of 45 questionnaires to the railway staff in charge of the AKTS operation. While secondary data was obtained from the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC). The secondary data cover operational data for passengers transported by the AKTS between 2016-2021. The study employed the use of both descriptive and inferential statistical methods of data analysis. The findings of the descriptive analysis revealed that 2019 recorded the highest passengers traffic, while 2016 recorded the lowest. As for monthly traffic, December recorded the highest while May recorded the lowest. The result of one-way between-groups analysis revealed that there was a statistically significant difference at the p < .05 level in the yearly traffic.
