Features of the formation of political trust in Ukraine: the macrolevel of political relations
Authors: Todoriko Alina
Published: November 2018

The article defines the features of the formation of political trust in Ukraine at the macrolevel of political relations. It is established that the formation of political trust at the macrolevel of political relations in Ukraine is reflected in the attitude of citizens toward democracy as a new format of the political system, the main mechanisms of its formation and the functioning of political institutions that ensure the process of transformation and dynamic renewal of the political system.

It is substantiated that the essential aspect that characterizes the political trust of the macrolevel in modern Ukrainian society is the weakness of the connections of a significant number of citizens with political parties as a traditional institution of aggregation of interests and is reflected in the limited understanding of the essence of the multi-party system and its need for political development of Ukraine.

It is proved that the existing indicators of confidence in the institutions of power in Ukraine, actualize the question of its optimal boundaries. As practice shows, both the lack of trust and the surplus of trust are barriers to strengthening the democratic foundations of the political system and political process. A significant deficit of confidence limits the power and reduces the activity of citizens, hinders the development of integration processes in society, inhibits the adoption and implementation of constructive reforms. Excessive trust in institutions of power and political institutions, creating uncontrolled and permissive behavior, can not lead to anything else, as to the arbitrariness of power, which is the first step towards the restoration or strengthening of authoritarianism. Therefore, in order for political confidence to contribute to the development of democratic processes, its level should not approach either the lowest or the highest possible values.

The election of the Russo-Ukrainian Christian path belongs to one of the most enviable events in Ukrainian history, which directly or indirectly programmed its further progress. Kievan Rus on the eve of the official introduction of Christianity was a powerful and respectable European state. The free country had a rich choice of priorities of geopolitical, economic, cultural orientation, the election of which was greatly influenced by the peculiarities of Ukrainian development. How exactly was this choice - it is necessary to investigate further, but what he brought to Ukraine - is now obvious. Today, when the Ukrainian state, with great losses and tensions, returns to its natural, European path, it is extremely important to analyze what contributed to the deviation from it. To do this, let us return to the first centuries of Ukrainian Christianity - the period of establishing long-term self-identification archetypes of Ukrainians and establishing their views on neighbors.

The idea of ​​tolerance is a form of reflection in the public consciousness of the objective existence of plurality (pluralism) of cultures, ways and styles of life, different models and concepts of understanding the world and the place of man in it. Tolerance presupposes that while preserving its independence and autonomy, the interactions in its turn, in their turn, should not restrict the freedom of others, knowing and recognizing their identity and self-worth, while respecting their right to choose, the right to be different, not similar and even to the contrary in their preferences, interests, habits, beliefs, which, however, should not contradict the very idea of ​​tolerance.

Located at the junction of trade routes between Prichernomorje and the Mediterranean, Crimea has always been in the sphere of ethnomigratory processes. Therefore, it is natural that the elements of the Scythian, Greek, Gothic, Hun, Khazar, Kypchak and Turkomyslian cultures influenced the formation of the spiritual and material culture of the Crimean Tatar people. The variety of ethnoses that have changed continuously over the centuries has been reflected in the dialectal structure of the Crimean Tatar language that exists up to the present time.
Religion and psychology at the beginning of the new millennium

Religion has a serious impact on our world. Most people in the world consider themselves to be religious or those to whom religion has a significant impact. It also helps to determine the type of culture that forms political and economic views. In an individual dimension, religion affects human communication. Although it can be viewed as a means by which society controls its members, it is more than just a social and managerial phenomenon. Religion is a human attempt to achieve spirituality. It is our attempt to gain and maintain the meaning of our destination in the world, which sometimes seems pointless.
The Word in the Christian Religious Tradition
Authors: Bogachevska I. V.
Published: November 2018

The problem of the Word in Christianity is one of the key, affecting the core of the dogma and pervading its practice. Theological thought gave answers, different from secular science, to questions about the functions of the word in God-knowledge and its role in the religious life of the individual and the Church. Any study of the language of religion can not ignore this experience. Our goal is not to assess the truth of the theological understanding of the relationship between human language and Divine reality, but to trace the specificity of the Christian use of language as a means of religious cognition and the way of expressing the religious consciousness of believers, to analyze the Christian theological concept of the Word, the role of the word in Holy Scripture and Sacred Tradition, and the truth of religious texts, the role and meaning of the word in the Christian religious tradition.

Fundamental social changes in any society are impossible without the formation of a high level of social activity of the individual in particular and society as a whole. In the context of this important role plays the study of the correlation of will and need as an important precondition of social activity. Actually, it is the will as a creative impulse to action not only the basis of awareness of needs, but also the ascending position of the daily choice of man. On the basis of awareness and focus on the choice of the direction of activity in the individual and public consciousness formed a holistic image of the purpose of the practical transformation of the world of nature and the world of culture. In the act of will, the subject legitimizes and authorizes the subjective desire, which is constituted in this process as objectively directed meta activity.

Understanding the historical retrospective of state-confessional relations becomes especially relevant in connection with socio-political changes of the XX - the beginning of the XXI centuries. The Roman Catholic Church, as one of the subjects of these relations, increasingly expresses its attitude to socio-political events. Historical experience of the existence of the Roman Catholic Church testifies that the mentioned institution has had a significant impact on all spheres of public life, in particular political. In this context, we note that the beginning of the XXI century. once again reveals the tendencies of the influence of the religious-church factor on the political life of many countries of the world, in the middle of which Ukraine. This influence is characterized by tension, a very complex dynamics, an increase in the interference of the political structure of religious affairs. Considerable interest in this aspect, in view of the sharp change in the political course of party-state leadership in relation to the Roman Catholic Church, is the final period of the Second World War.

Church and people's power: UGCC approach to defining democracy criteria
Authors: Moroz Volodymyr
Published: November 2018

By sanctifying the rights and responsibilities of man as authorized by God, emphasizing the ontological justification for ensuring freedom of choice, the value of each person and its social character, the Catholic Church, including the UGCC, could not but express its position on specific forms of social order. The Second Vatican Council gave a significant incentive for the development of theological thought in this direction and for the implementation of its constructions into public practice. Since the Church is an institution to which, according to the results of sociological research, Ukrainians have been most trusted for many years, and the UGCC is one of the most active Churches in Ukraine, the study of its attitude towards democracy is one of the topical scientific topics.
Problems of globalization in modern Catholic thought
Authors: Shugayeva Lyidmyla
Published: November 2018

The growth of the scale and pace of globalization of the planet in virtually all spheres of development of world societies is quite natural to discuss and study this process, its nature, trends and future Earth. In the processes of globalization, according to many scholars, politicians, theologians, and journalists, there are not only continuous positive changes, but also a sufficient amount of negativity. In particular, when the external good intentions of expanding contacts between people and states, raising prosperity, the level of individual and collective security is concealed the doctrine, which implies in the final result complete destruction of the difference of individuals, the desire of anyone and everyone to a single set of all material and spiritual values , and, perhaps, suppression of intellectuality under the slogan of struggle for the ideals of democracy and individual freedom.
Encyclical of Benedict XVI "Caritas and Veritate" - a new word in the social doctrine of Catholicism
Authors: Chornomorec Yuriy
Published: November 2018

For centuries in Catholic theology there is a hidden or open struggle between the tendencies of Augustinian and Tomistic. Augustinovtsi - optimists in epistemology and pessimism in anthropology and social science. Tomies, on the contrary, consider the possibilities of cognition to be limited, but they are cautious optimists in anthropology and social science. The social doctrine of the Catholic Church has long relied on the notion of natural law and the common good, as they are developed in the teachings of Thomas Aquinas. Pope Benedict XVI in his encyclicals returned to the Augustinian theology of love as the only force that can help humanity today, at a time when all the negative aspects of human nature, which were so well known by Augustine, were revealed.

Cross-border dissemination of lumpy skin disease: risc analysis for Ukraine
Authors: Kisera Ya. V. , Storchak Yu. G. , Bozhyk L. Ya.
Published: November 2018

National biosecurity is a system of organizational and technical measures that help protect humans, animals and the environment from potential and actual biological threats. That is why analysis of the main hazardous biological sources for humans and animals has been carried out. The influence of climate change on the animals’ welfare as well as their predisposition to the deferred type tendency is proved. The prevalence of vector diseases of animals, mycoses and mycotoxicoses, which can manifest themselves in the form of such emergencies as outbreaks of exotic diseases, large-scale epizootics, a sharp increase of the incidence of endemic diseases, etc., are of both ecological and biological danger. Contagious vesicular (nodular) dermatitis (Lumpy skin disease, LSD) is caused by the virus belonging to the genus Capripoxvirus, the Poxviridae family and affects mainly cattle and buffaloes. The virus is distributed mainly by means of mechanical carriers (species of Stomoxys spp. and other flies). Global warming on the European continent facilitates the migration of blood-sucking insects that are carriers of vector diseases. As a result, the insects occupy new ecological niches adapting to the new biocenoses. A poorly controlled movement of large numbers of livestock also creates a risk of disease spreading. The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) has identified LSD as highly dangerous illnesses subject to notification. The focus is made on policies dealing with the control and eradication of contagious nodular dermatitis in case of its detection. The spread of LSD can be prevented through the introduction of biosafety measures at the farm level and the introduction of restrictions on the movement of infection-susceptible animals and goods from the infected territories. Vaccination is the most effective disease control tool in endemic areas. LSD control and elimination policy in case of disease detection includes sanitary slaughter (stamping-out) of infected animals – a complex of antiepizootic measures that carry out by direction  of the chief state inspector, including the slaughter of sick and infected animals of the herd, and if necessary, animals of another herd that could lead before the transmission of a pathogenic agent – the pathogen of contagious nodular dermatitis of cattle. All animals, that are susceptible to the disease, whether vaccinated or not, are clogged and their carcasses are destroyed by burning, burial with the guarantee of preventing the spread of infection through carcasses or other products of dead animals. Emergency control of outbreaks envisages the ring vaccination of buffer zones within 25–50 km from infected areas, as well as foundation of temporary or permanent slaughter places in the infected areas. Sufficient herd immunity must be created and maintained within large territories both around the infected area and at the borders with infected countries. Such immunity is achieved when 80% of the herd is covered by vaccination.
Comparingn-gram-based functional categories in originalversustranslated texts
Authors: Ebeling Jarle , Ebeling Signe O.
Published: November 2018

This study outlines and tests a method for comparing the use of functional categories consisting of high-frequency 3-grams in original and translated texts. The 3-grams are extracted from a corpus of contemporary English fiction texts (EO) and a comparable corpus of fiction texts translated into English from Norwegian (ET). The two varieties contain the same number of texts, thirty-nine, and about the same number of words, 1.3 to 1.4 million. Several different baselines against which to normalise the 3-gram frequencies are tested and a way of evening out the initial differences between the token counts of EO and ET is proposed. These last two points have an impact on the extent to which some of the categories differ statistically. On the basis of the comparison of the token counts of the 3-grams extracted for the study, it seems that most differences are a matter of degree, rather than being systemic at the level of the functions investigated.
Latest developments of models and calculation schemes for the quantitative analysis of the physical properties of polymers
Authors: Askadskii A A , Matseevich T A
Published: November 2018

The latest models and calculation schemes for the quantitative analysis of a number of physical properties of polymers are described. Among the physical properties are the glass transition temperature, flow temperature of polymer nanocomposites, thermal conductivity, boiling point of polymer solutions, water absorption and water permeability of polymers and nanocomposites, strength, viscosity, storage and loss moduli, refractive index, and dielectric constant. All calculation schemes are based on the structure of linear and cross-linked polymers; their degree of crystallinity, free volume, the influence of temperature, the composition of copolymers, and homogeneous mixtures of polymers are taken into account. In the case of nanocomposites, the concentration of nanoparticles, their shape, size distribution, and orientation angles, the structure of polar groups grafted to the surface of nanoparticles, and the energy of intermolecular interactions are taken into account. Spherical nanoparticles, rectangular plates, and nanofibers are considered. The calculation scheme for the refractive index and the dielectric constant takes into account the effect of the plasticizing action of the remnants of the synthesis products, the solvent, and the nonlinearity on the Clausius–Mossotti function, the composition of the nanoparticles, and the temperature. All calculation schemes are computerized and allow automatic calculations after inputting into the computer the structure of the repeating unit of the polymer, as well as the shape and dimensions of the nanofillers.
Modeling the Radio Background from the First Black Holes at Cosmic Dawn: Implications for the 21 cm Absorption Amplitude
Authors: Ewall-Wice A. , Chang T.-C. , Lazio J. , Doré O. , Seiffert M. , Monsalve R. A.
Published: November 2018

We estimate the 21 cm radio background from accretion onto the first intermediate-mass black holes between z ≈ 30 and z ≈ 16. Combining potentially optimistic, but plausible, scenarios for black hole formation and growth with empirical correlations between luminosity and radio emission observed in low-redshift active galactic nuclei, we find that a model of black holes forming in molecular cooling halos is able to produce a 21 cm background that exceeds the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at z ≈ 17, though models involving larger halo masses are not entirely excluded. Such a background could explain the surprisingly large amplitude of the 21 cm absorption feature recently reported by the EDGES collaboration. Such black holes would also produce significant X-ray emission and contribute to the 0.5–2 keV soft X-ray background at the level of ≈10−13–10−12 erg s−1 cm−2 deg−2, consistent with existing constraints. In order to avoid heating the intergalactic medium (IGM) over the EDGES trough, these black holes would need to be obscured by hydrogen column depths of N
H ∼ 5 × 1023 cm−2. Such black holes would avoid violating constraints on the CMB optical depth from Planck if their UV photon escape fractions were below f
esc ≲ 0.1, which would be a natural result of N
H ∼ 5 × 1023 cm−2 being imposed by an unheated IGM.
Expansion and Age of the X-Ray Synchrotron-dominated Supernova Remnant G330.2+1.0
Authors: Borkowski Kazimierz J. , Reynolds Stephen P. , Williams Brian J. , Petre Robert
Published: November 2018

We report new Chandra observations of one of the few Galactic supernova remnants whose X-ray spectrum is dominated by nonthermal synchrotron radiation, G330.2+1.0. We find that between 2006 and 2017, some parts of the shell have expanded by about 1%, giving a free-expansion (undecelerated) age of about 1000 yr, and implying shock velocities there of 9000 km s−1 for a distance of 5 kpc. Somewhat slower expansion is seen elsewhere around the remnant periphery, in particular in compact knots. Because some deceleration must have taken place, we infer that G330.2+1.0 is less than about 1000 yr old. Thus, G330.2+1.0 is one of only four Galactic core-collapse remnants of the last millennium. The large size, low brightness, and young age require a very low ambient density, suggesting expansion in a stellar-wind bubble. We suggest that in the east, where some thermal emission is seen and expansion velocities are much slower, the shock has reached the edge of the cavity. The high shock velocities can easily accelerate relativistic electrons to X-ray-emitting energies. A few small regions show highly significant brightness changes by 10%–20%, both brightening and fading, a phenomenon previously observed in only two supernova remnants, indicating strong and/or turbulent magnetic fields.

We present quantitative evidence that interplanetary type II radio bursts and sustained gamma-ray emission (SGRE) events from the Sun are closely related. Out of about 30 SGRE events reported in Share et al. we consider 13 events that had a duration exceeding ∼5 hr to exclude any flare-impulsive phase gamma-rays. The SGRE duration also has a linear relation with the ending frequency of the bursts. The synchronism between the ending times of SGRE and the type II emission strongly supports the idea that the same shock accelerates electrons to produce type II bursts and protons (>300 MeV) that propagate from the shock to the solar surface to produce SGRE via pion decay. The acceleration of high-energy particles is confirmed by the associated solar energetic particle (SEP) events detected at Earth and/or at the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory spacecraft. Furthermore, the presence of >300 MeV protons is corroborated by the fact that the underlying coronal mass ejections (CMEs) had properties identical to those associated with ground-level enhancement events: they had speeds of >2000 km s−1 and all were full-halo CMEs. Many SEP events did not have detectable flux at Earth in the >300 MeV energy channels, presumably because of poor magnetic connectivity.

We present the first high-resolution laboratory spectra of X-ray emission following L-shell charge exchange between nickel ions and neutral H2 and He. We employ the commonly used charge exchange models found in xspec and spex, acx and spex-cx, to simulate our experimental results. We show that significant differences between data and models exist in both line energies and strengths. In particular, we find that configuration mixing may play an important role in generating lines from core-excited states, and may be improperly treated in models. Our results indicate that if applied to astrophysical data, these models may lead to incorrect assumptions of the physical and chemical parameters of the region of interest.

Published: November 2018

OBJETIVO: Comparar a qualidade de vida das monitoras de creche antes e após a aplicação da massagem Shantala nos bebês institucionalizados.MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal, exploratório, com abordagem quantitativa. Participaram do estudo 19 monitoras cuidadoras dos bebês que receberam a massagem Shantala. Na coleta de dados foi utilizado dois instrumentos. Um questionário semiestruturado para caracterizar a amostra quanto aos dados sociodemográficos, condições e hábitos de vida e do trabalho. Para a avaliação da qualidade de vida foi utilizado o instrumento WHOQOL-Bref, antes e ao término do total de sessões com a intervenção da Shantala nos bebês. Os dados coletados foram tabulados em planilha eletrônica através do programa Excel® e analisados no programa estatístico SPSS versão 18.0, sendo as variáveis comparadas com os testes estatísticos de correlação de Pearson e t-Student.RESULTADOS: A idade média da amostra foi de 38,21±10,46 anos. As variáveis sociodemográficas apontaram que a maioria das monitoras (57,9%; n=11) são casadas e a escolaridade é o 3º grau completo (47,4%; n=9). Na avaliação dos domínios específicos averiguou-se que antes da aplicação da massagem Shantala nos bebês, as monitoras apresentaram os maiores escores no domínio relações sociais (76,84). Após a aplicação da massagem, notou-se o maior escore no domínio psicológico (81,01). Os escores evidenciaram melhora na percepção da qualidade (76,04) após a aplicação da massagem.CONCLUSÕES: As evidências indicaram melhora na qualidade de vida das monitoras, assim, os efeitos indiretos da massagem Shantala podem contribuir para a promoção da qualidade de vida das mesmas.

OBJETIVO: Comparar a presença de fatores de risco cardiovascular e a qualidade de vida em idosos ativos e sedentários.MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo, transversal e observacional, realizado em uma unidade básica de saúde, no município de Uchoa – SP. A amostra foi composta por 40 idosos de ambos os sexos, divididos em dois grupos, sendo 20 idosos no grupo ativo e 20 no grupo sedentário. Foram coletados idade, sexo, índice de massa corporal e circunferência abdominal. Para analisar a qualidade de vida dos idosos foi aplicado o questionário Short Form 36 (SF-36). Os fatores de risco cardiovascular investigados foram obesidade total, obesidade central e hipertensão arterial. Foi realizada estatística inferencial com teste t não pareado ou teste de Mann-Whitney para comparar os fatores de risco e os domínios da qualidade de vida entre os grupos.RESULTADOS: Houve maior prevalência do sexo feminino em ambos os grupos, ativo e sedentário, 55% e 75% respectivamente. Não houve diferença estatística significativa para idade (p=0,15), peso (p=0,15) e altura (p=0,33) entre os grupos. O grupo sedentário apresentou índice de massa corporal estatisticamente maior (p=0,02) que o grupo ativo (23,06±8,64 kg/m2 versus 27,73±8,11 kg/m2, respectivamente). Os valores da circunferência abdominal também foram estatisticamente maiores (p≤0,05) no grupo sedentário (96,65±13,38 cm) em comparação ao grupo ativo (88,25±13,22 cm). Não houve diferenças significativas (p≥0,05) nos domínios de qualidade de vida entre os grupos.CONCLUSÕES: Os idosos sedentários apresentaram os fatores de risco cardiovascular obesidade total e obesidade central e não houve diferenças na qualidade de vida entre os grupos.
Retrospective Comparison of Visual Prognosis After Vitrectomy for Idiopathic Epiretinal Membranes With and Without an Ectopic Inner Foveal Layer
Authors: Sato Tatsuhiko , Mori Rena , Takahashi Shinya , Yoshimura Koichi , Hirata Akira , Manabe Shin-ichi , Hayashi Ken
Published: November 2018

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

To compare the surgical outcomes of epiretinal membrane (ERM) treatment between eyes with and without an ectopic inner foveal layer (EIFL).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Seventy-seven ERM eyes of 76 consecutive patients were investigated retrospectively. Optical coherence tomography examinations and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) measurements were performed before and at 6 and 12 months after vitrectomy.

RESULTS:

In both eyes with and without an EIFL, the BCVAs at 6 and 12 months after vitrectomy were significantly better than those before vitrectomy (
P
< .05), whereas the BCVAs 6 and 12 months after vitrectomy were significantly better in eyes without an EIFL than in those with an EIFL (
P
= .014 and
P
= .019, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS:

Vitrectomy may be effective in improving visual acuity in eyes with ERMs with and without an EIFL. However, ERM surgery may be desirable before EIFL development to obtain a better prognosis.

Choroidal Neovascularization in Torpedo Maculopathy Assessed on Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography
Authors: Parodi Maurizio Battaglia , Romano Francesco , Montagna Marco , Albertini Giorgia Carlotta , Pierro Luisa , Arrigo Alessandro , Bandello Francesco
Published: November 2018

Torpedo maculopathy is characterized by a congenital, unilateral, and torpedo-shaped chorioretinal lesion with unclear pathogenesis and evolution. Although the optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) characteristics have already been defined in literature, the authors describe for the first time the presence of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) on the temporal edge of this lesion in a 36-year-old woman with a history of altered visual field in her left eye. The authors' investigation supports the hypothesis of an aberrant choroidal circulation underlying the pathogenesis of this condition, and proves the advantage conferred by OCTA in CNV detection over the other angiographic techniques.

República VII 517a8-521c1
Authors: Lisi Francisco L.
Published: November 2018

Rep. VII 517a8-521c1 conecta la alegoría de la caverna con el currículo de los filósofos gobernantes. Aunque en el pasaje se desarrollan puntos claves para la comprensión de la finalidad del diálogo, no ha recibido aún la atención que merece ni de la crítica antigua ni de la moderna. En él, (1) se defiende una concepción de la educación basada en la reminiscencia y en clara oposición a la sofística, (2) se define la posición de la Idea del Bien como el objeto de aprendizaje más importante y (3) se responde definitivamente a la pregunta de por qué los filósofos han de asumir el gobierno de la polis.

Accompagner, surveiller, (ne pas) dénoncer
Authors: Sallée Nicolas
Published: November 2018

Fondé sur des données récoltées à Montréal, cet article prend pour objet les tensions constitutives du suivi des jeunes délinquants dans la collectivité. Nous interrogeons pour cela le travail d’agents – dits délégués jeunesse – chargés de la gestion d’un type singulier d’illégalismes de droits, communément nommés « manquements » : le non-respect, par les jeunes, des conditions auxquelles ils sont astreints dans le cadre de leur suivi. Nous soulignons que les pratiques de dénonciation des manquements, pouvant conduire à l’enfermement des jeunes, s’organisent autour de trois axes principaux : un axe organisationnel, un axe professionnel et un axe interactionnel. En nous intéressant, le long de ces trois axes, aux opérations ordinaires de catégorisation des jeunes, nous défendons l’idée que cette activité de gestion des manquements revient in fine à distinguer ceux qui seraient de « vrais » délinquants, premiers candidats au passage – ou au retour – entre les murs des institutions d’enfermement.
Investigating Epistemic Stances in Game Play Through Learning Analytics
Authors: Martinez-Garza Mario , Clark Douglas B.
Published: November 2018

The authors apply techniques of statistical computing to data logs to investigate the patterns in students' play of The Fuzzy Chronicles and how these patterns relate to learning outcomes related to Newtonian kinematics. This chapter has two goals. The first goal is to investigate the basic claims of the proposed two-system framework for game-based learning (or 2SM) that may serve as part of a general-use explanatory framework for educational gaming. The second goal is to explore and demonstrate the use of automated log files of student play as evidence of learning through educational data mining techniques. These goals were pursued via two research questions. The first research question examines whether students playing the game showed evidence of dichotomous fast/slow modes of solution. A second research question investigates the connection between conceptual understanding and student performance in conceptually-laden challenges. Implications in terms of game design, learning analytics, and refinement of the 2SM are discussed.
