Appropriation et construction du sens au travail
Authors: Grimand Amaury
Published: May 2022

En proposant des lectures alternatives de la réalité organisationnelle, la fiction renouvelle le regard porté sur la pratique managériale. Cet article traite ainsi la fiction comme un matériau empirique potentiel, à même d’alimenter le travail de théorisation. Il explore l’objet travail à travers le prisme de Gaston Lagaffe. Ce dernier pose en effet de façon très subtile, presque à son corps défendant, la question du sens au travail et de son appropriation. Nous montrons comment chez Gaston Lagaffe le sens au travail relève d’abord d’une expérience subjective. Celle-ci engage un jeu avec la règle et une intense activité de « bricolage » par laquelle Gaston s’approprie les objets qui l’entourent et re-territorialise son espace de travail. Penseur de la socio-matérialité, Gaston Lagaffe agit également comme un révélateur des paradoxes qui traversent la vie organisationnelle.

La compétitivité des territoires devient une dimension centrale à considérer (Camagni, 2006). Pour l’assurer, les territoires sont amenés à développer une identité singulière. à travers cet article, l’auteure souhaite comprendre, comment un projet régional, basé sur un domaine potentiel de spécialisation, peut contribuer à la création de cette identité. Guidés par une démarche qualitative, à la spécificité double : sectorielle et régionale, les résultats proposent une clé de lecture contextualisée du passage de l’état de ressources à celui de compétences territoriales opérationnelles.
The estimation of the metal collapsible pipeline limit displacements from its zero position
Authors: Zakharov M. N. , Martynov D. S.
Published: May 2022

These days special oil pipelines, which are made with the conesocket connection technology, are widely used. However, it is still not clear how these pipelines react under the influence of forces. Also, there is no data, which could be used to estimate the possibility of pipeline usage after the impact of these forces. The main idea of this article is to find such limit displacements from the pipeline zero position, which would ensure the possibility of the pipeline usage in future. In such case this article uses the methods for finding the equivalent model of the conesocket connection and estimating the values of contact stresses. The result described in the article provides limit transverse displacements data by the number of the linked joints, which ensure the possibility of the pipeline usage in future, if they are not reached during the operation. The results provided in this article will enable to estimate the oil pipeline performance, repair and replacement.

Authors: Taranova L. V. , Klevtsov G. P. , Mozyrev A. G.
Published: May 2022

This article deals with the main trends of improving the energy efficiency of production facilities for processing hydrocarbon materials on the example of a catalytic reforming unit. By analyzing the heat-technological scheme of the hydrotreatment section, the potential for energy saving has been identified and options for upgrading the heat exchange system of the stabilization unit to increase the use of secondary energy resources and minimize heat losses have been proposed. Based on thermal and economic calculations, a more efficient option has been chosen with an arrangement of multistage heat exchange and use of distillate product for preheating raw materials, which allows more fully using the potential of its own streams. The proposed optimization of the heat exchange system of the stabilization unit of the hydrotreating plant by involving the distillate product in the heat exchange will provide an increase in the degree of heat recovery with a reduction in heat losses and electricity consumption, a reduction in the number of heat exchange equipment units and a more rational use of them.

Reinventing a Traditional Ritual
Authors: Mousavi Atefeh Seyed
Published: May 2022

This article explores recent ritual developments in the Iranian religious culture honouring Ali-Asqar (d. 680 CE), the infant son of Imam Husayn. In 2003, a new ritual, the Husayni Infancy Conference, was introduced. The ritual is the only public Muharram assembly dedicated to women and their infants. Based on observation and interviews, I identify ritual transformations, terms of institutionalisation, and the staging of rituals and their structure, and I also examine the objectives behind the Conference from the perspectives of the organisers and participants. I argue that the organisers seek to promote new interpretations of the significance of the Battle of Karbala. This objective is shared by some participants whereas many continue to seek out traditional reasons to commemorate the Battle, such as receiving God’s blessings. Attending large ritual gatherings also offers opportunities for socialising and empowerment.
Invisible and Visible Shi’a
Authors: Fibiger Thomas
Published: May 2022

The Twelver Shi’a in Kuwait constitute a minority amongst the country’s population. Compared to the situation of Shi’a in the region, they enjoy a good position economically and politically. While this political aspect of their identity frequently has been highlighted in scholarly literature, little has been written about how Shi’a ritual life relates to the political and economic spheres of social life. In this article, I discuss the performance of the annual Shi’a Ashura ritual in relation to the political status of the Shi’as in Kuwait. I show that the Shi’as’ public enactment of the ritual is multifaceted and revolves around the issue of ritual visibility. Ritual performance demonstrates compliance with as well as contestations of state authorities’ identity policy regarding religion and nationality, contestations within the Shi’a community, and contentions in relation to other groups in Kuwait.

Realism: Revisiting the Concept of Power in the Age of Information
Authors: Munawar Shehzad , Afzal Shehzada , Shahid Ramzan
Published: May 2022

This paper seeks to revisit the concept of power in the theoretical discourse of realism in the 21st century by taking in view the impact of information and communication technology(ICT) on international relations. The main argument is that information and communication technology has dramatically shifted the concept of power as the possession of material capabilities. The paper argues that ICT has created a double paradox for materially and technologically powerful countries by creating vulnerabilities in the hard power and soft power domain. The paper also asserts that through cyber power exists in the virtual/cyber domain, it is able to get desired outcomes in the physical domain. ICT can be used as a soft as well as a hard power multiplier. Lastly, it argues that ICT has challenged the predominant position of material power capabilities to define world order and transformed the traditional power structure.

The research explores the existing challenges to bio security due to competition among the great powers in the international system and hence focuses on how those challenges can be managed by increasing responses and reducing challenges at the state and global levels. The research hence focused on how the global community should respond so as to reduce challenges to bio security and hence suggests recommendations so as to mitigate the threats to bio security at the state and global level.This phenomenon of competition among great powers has generated many challenges to bio security. The vulnerabilities to the domain of bio security have much increased due to great powers competition. Hence in the COVID-19 outbreak, the Great power competition has lowered the measures of bio security and increased many threats to it.
Hydro-Politics of Trans-Boundary Water Resources in South Asia: A Water- Energy-food Nexus of Cooperation
Authors: Akbar Muqarrab , Nawaz Rafida , Murtaza Syed Hussain
Published: May 2022

Water is a vital resource for 1.9 billion, 24.89 Percent of the total world population residing in the South Asian states and the geopolitics of the region primarily is hydro-politics. The water geography of the region comprises river basins like the Indus, Ganges, Meghna, and Brahmaputra, acting as capillaries responsible for the flow of life in this gigantic region. Allocation of water resources is an external as well internal policy challenge for South Asian states. Taking a view of the water geography of the region and treaties governing trans boundary water flow, the paper aims to address the question of whether the water problem can be dealt only with the traditional security paradigm, focusing on water conflict through the state-centric lens; or the issue can be reflected with the prism of unconventional security paradigms as waters are integral to economic, food, environmental and human security. Human security combined with Liberal-Functionalist approaches may transform the crisis into a prospective scenario of peace and cooperation in the region
Utility of a fulcrum for positioning support during flexion-extension radiographs for assessment of lumbar instability in patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis
Authors: Lin Fanguo , Zhou Zhiqiang , Li Zhiwei , Shan Bingchen , Zhou Zhentao , Sun Yongming , Zhou Xiaozhong
Published: May 2022

OBJECTIVE

The authors investigated a new standardized technique for evaluating lumbar stability in lumbar lateral flexion-extension (LFE) radiographs. For patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis, a three-part fulcrum with a support platform that included a semiarc leaning tool with armrests, a lifting platform for height adjustment, and a base for stability were used. Standard functional radiographs were used for comparison to determine whether adequate flexion-extension was acquired through use of the fulcrum method.

METHODS

A total of 67 consecutive patients diagnosed with L4–5 degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis were enrolled in the study. The authors analyzed LFE radiographs taken with the patient supported by a fulcrum (LFEF) and without a fulcrum. Sagittal translation (ST), segmental angulation (SA), posterior opening (PO), change in lumbar lordosis (CLL), and lumbar instability (LI) were measured for comparison using functional radiographs.

RESULTS

The average value of SA was 5.76° ± 3.72° in LFE and 9.96° ± 4.00° in LFEF radiographs, with a significant difference between them (p < 0.05). ST and PO were also significantly greater in LFEF than in LFE. The detection rate of instability was 10.4% in LFE and 31.3% in LFEF, and the difference was significant. The CLL was 27.31° ± 11.96° in LFE and 37.07° ± 12.963.16° in LFEF, with a significant difference between these values (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

Compared with traditional LFE radiographs, the LFEF radiographs significantly improved the detection rate of LI. In addition, this method may reduce patient discomfort during the process of obtaining radiographs.
Use of patent data for knowledge transfer measuring in green economy sectors of Ukraine
Authors: Yegorov I. Yu. , Gryga V. Yu. , Ryzhkova Yu. O.
Published: May 2022

The paper is devoted to the analysis of the knowledge transfer in two leading sectors of green economy in Ukraine – green energy and organic agriculture. Both sectors are of growing importance for the world economy, especially in the context of the need to fight global warming and to increase high quality food supply. Statistical data on functioning of these sectors in Ukraine shows that both sectors are developing very fast, both in terms of production outputs and number of the business.
That is why analysis is based on the patent data derived from the Espacenet database. The database provides information on patent according to CPC, which better meets the need of green economy analysis. We used OECD patent search strategy for the following areas: wind energy; solar thermal energy; hydroenergy; PV energy; fuel from waste; agriculture; nuclear energy; marine energy; bio-organic fraction processing; biofuels; hydrogen; solar thermal-PV hybrids; superconducting electric elements; geothermal energy.
The analysis shows that ties between different organizations, involved in development of green economy within the country are weak. Even in the most developed subsectors, namely wind, solar thermal energy and hydroenergy patent activity of commercial firms are extremely low.
 This could be explained by technological backwardness, relatively small domestic markets for corresponding products and limited access to the foreign markets, existing of other channels for knowledge transfer. It was revealed paradox situation, when the number of scientific outputs related to green economy was growing up, while patent activity was declining. It means that current IPR and knowledge transfer system is not efficient in Ukraine and needs to be improved. 
The paper is structures as follows. In the first part of the paper a brief description of green economy sectors of Ukraine is presented. It is followed by general situation with IPR in Ukraine. The third part is devoted to the analysis of green patenting in the country in recent years with the focus of networking between different actors. Conclusions contain final assessment of the situation and general recommendations for further innovation-based development of the green economy in Ukraine.
An Analysis of the Factors with Influence on Scientometric Indicators of Researchers from Pedagogical Universities of Ukraine
Authors: Akbash K. S. , Pasichnyk N. O. , Rizhniak R. Ya.
Published: May 2022

The article is devoted to a scientometric study of pedagogical universities of Ukraine, involving an analysis of the influence of external and internal factors on the scientometric indicators of researchers from this category of universities, which data were extracted from the scientometric Scopus database. The authors selected seventeen universities forming the population of Ukrainian pedagogical universities which profiles are presented in this database. The following variables were used as external factors: the number of years since the university founding, the number of doctors and candidates of sciences, the population of the city where the university is located. The characteristics of the indexed scientific publications were chosen as the internal factors of influence: the number of authors of each article included in the h-index (one author, 2 to 5 authors, more than 5 authors); type of access to the article (open or closed); “age” of the article; article funding (available or absent); quartile of the journal in which the article is published. All the involved computations were made by the authors in the statistical package SPSS. To identify the impact of external factors on the scientometric indicators of the pedagogical universities, the authors calculated pair correlation coefficients of factor variables with Hirsch index. The impact of internal factors was determined by a series of single-factor analyses of variance, to identify their impact on citation rates of the articles included in the nuclei of h-indexes of universities. The calculated Spearman correlation coefficients between the h-index and the factor variables suggest that there is no significant correlation between the external factors and Hirsch index. That is, none of these external factors affect the scientometric indicators of the pedagogical universities. A series of single-factor analyses of variance showed that the formation of the core h-index of the pedagogical universities was significantly influenced by the internal factors “availability of funding for a particular publication”, “journal’s quartile” and “article’s age”. But an impact of the factors “number of the article’s authors” and “open access to the article” on the formation of the core h-index of the pedagogical universities was not found.
Management Accounting Data in Statistical Surveys
Authors: Korinko M. D.
Published: May 2022

The article is devoted to analysis of the factors determining the feasibility of management accounting data applications in statistical research at micro level, which results will be used in elaborating and taking effective management decisions, as well as in the budget process for a given period of business operation. It is emphasized that the production efficiency can be achieved by the optimal use of resources given an acceptable level of risk.  An analytical review of research works giving evidence of the need to use results of statistical research in business management was made. It showed that the necessity for analysis of the relationship between management accounting and creating databases for statistical research had not been clearly emphasized. Also, there has been no analysis of trends in creating a regulatory information framework at the national (cross-sectoral) level, which would have to consist of norms and standards of accounting and cost control in business entities. The assumption on a probable utilization of material resources in the shadow production due to the outdated regulatory framework is made.
Emphasis is placed on determining the fields of statistical research which results are going to be used in the business management system and evaluation of structural units in a business enterprise. The advantages of normative cost accounting and production costing for performance assessment and quick response on identified deficiencies in the management system are highlighted. It is argued that human resources constitute the main economic factor in the business operation process. The basic postulates of the national economy development are given, which have to frame the cost policy of business enterprises with taking into account results of statistical research. Problems related with applications of management accounting data in statistical research are outlined, which solutions can be subject of further research.

Published: May 2022

The purpose of the study is to develop the methodical recommendations for test-designers to cope with challenges of organizing on-line assessment process. In order to achieve this goal we have to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of e-assessment activities based on analysis of the universities practice. To find out students’ attitude to the issue of the study we have drawn up the questionnaire. The survey results confirm that e-assessment is rated as priority activity by learners thanks to individual approach to teaching/learning process, easily accessible and fast feedback, as well as interactive methods of implementation. Reviewing practical experience of Kryvyi Rih National University (KNU) and Donetsk Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine (DLI) and summarizing statistical data of the survey we have developed methodical support for designing e-assessment activities which involves: to determine intended recipients and the purpose of testing; select appropriate instruments and e-platform; specify forms of feedback; clarify the tasks; provide knowledge base for operating e-tests etc. Despite plenty of studies in this domain the test-designers and test-takers face to typical difficulties while operating e-assessment, and there is lack of research providing methodical practicalities in this field. To address learners’ and lecturers’ needs we have developed the methodical recommendations, which might be used in the drafting of e-assessment tests for students of different specialisms.

Published: May 2022

In this article, we present the results of simulation for cryptocurrency market based on fractal and entropy analysis using six cryptocurrencies in the first 20 of the capitalization rating. The application of the selected research methods is based on an analysis of existing methodologies and tools of economic and mathematical modeling of financial markets. It has been shown that individual methods are not relevant because they do not provide an adequate assessment of the given market, so an integrated approach is the most appropriate. Daily values of cryptocurrency pairs from August 2016 to August 2020 selected by the monitoring and modelling database. The application of fractal analysis led to the conclusion that the time series of selected cryptocurrencies were persistent. And the use of the window procedure for calculating the local Hurst coefficient allowed to detail and isolate the persistant and antipersistant gaps. Interdisciplinary methods, namely Tsallis entropy and wavelet entropy, are proposed to complement the results. The results of the research show that Tsallis entropy reveals special (crisis) conditions in the cryptocurrency market, despite the nature of the crises’ origin. Wavelet entropy is a warning indicator of crisis phenomena. It provides additional information on a small scale.

The Vatican in World War II: Dynamics and New Directions in Western Historiography
Authors: Freeze Gregory
Published: May 2022

The article examines the historiography of the pontificate of Pope Pius XII, especially the phase that fell during the Second World War. Accusations that the Pope had not publicly condemned the crimes of Fascism and Nazism emerged in Soviet historiography shortly after the war and were faintly echoed by radical historiography in European countries. At the same time, an apologetic trend emerges in historiography. The situation changed dramatically with the publication and production of the play Der Stellvertreter. Ein christliches Trauerspiel (The Deputy, A Christian Tragedy also published in English as The Representative) by the German playwright Rolf Hochhuth, in which the Pope is accused of remaining silent in the face of the Nazi crimes. It marked the beginning of a critical trend in historiography. In historiography, a heated debate between the critical and apologetic ‘schools’ has been termed the “Pius War”. The revival of the critical movement has usually been associated with various politicised events such as the beatification process of Pius XII at the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and a new step in that direction in 2009, namely the declaration of Pius XII venerable by Pope Benedict XVI, etc. At the same time, the introduction of new archival documents into scholarly discourse (in particular, the opening for academic examination of the collections of Pius XI and Pius XII in the Vatican Archives) has led to an enormous expansion and diversification of the source base. Studies have also demonstrated the need for a more active exploration and contextualisation of the policies of the Holy See during the war years. All this contributes to a more balanced and objective appraisal of these matters on the part of historians and political scientists.
The Ukrainophilism of P.E. Shelest in the Interpretation of Modern Ukrainian Historiography
Authors: Borisenok Elena
Published: May 2022

The author of this article explores the discussion in contemporary Ukrainian historiography of the “Ukrainophilia” of the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine, Pyotr Efimovich Shelest (1963‒1972). Ukrainian historians are trying to determine the extent to which the Soviet leader proved to be a consistent follower of the political line of the Union centre, the areas in which he defended the interests of the republic, and whether he should be considered a representative of National Communism. The purpose of the article is to analyse the key provisions of and evidence for the conception of Shelest's “Ukrainophilism” and “localism” developed by Ukrainian scholars. Particular attention is given to the conclusions of Yu.I. Shapoval on the inconsistencies in Shelest and his actions, his peculiar dual loyalty (all-union and republican), and his constant manoeuvring between two political discourses (centralist and anti-centralist). According to the historian, Shelest's views were formed during the Stalinist era. This point of view has been widely accepted in contemporary Ukrainian literature. The article specifies that Shelest as a politician was a product of Soviet Ukrainianisation of the 1920s. It was at this time that the seeds of the paradox that contemporary Ukrainian scholars have been writing about were sown.
Maria Dmitrievna Nesselrode: Wife of the Chancellor of the Russian Empire
Authors: Tanjshina Natalya
Published: May 2022

. The article focuses on the life and work of Countess Maria Nesselrode, the wife of the Chancellor of the Russian Empire and the head of the Foreign Ministry, Count Karl von Nesselrode. A whole epoch in the history of the foreign policy of the Russian Empire was associated with his name. However, in the minds of contemporaries, as well as in historiography, a negative, almost caricatured view of his activities was formed. A similar opinion was formed about his wife. What insulting epithets her contemporaries bestowed upon her! It was alleged that Count Nesselrode owed not only his fortune to her, but also his career; that the Countess dominated her “pocket husband” and had a direct influence on his political decisions. However, were these accusations justified, and what was the reason for such attitude? Drawing on the memoirs of contemporaries and, above al,l the correspondence of Maria Nesselrode herself, the article recreates her psychological and political portrait. The author concludes that the Countess was not just a wife, but a genuine assistant and confidante to her husband. With her sharp, shrewd mind and sound judgement about people and events, she did not impose her position on her husband, but only provided him with useful information. Smart, domineering, insightful, influential, and wealthy, naturally, she was the envy and irritation of others, and only opened up to those closest to her. Living at a time when high society and politics were intimately linked, Maria Nesselrode was one of the most influential ladies of European salons.

Published: May 2022

The purpose of this article is to express the daily and yearly apparent movement of the Sun in the same curve by using quaternions as a rotation operator. To achieve this, the daily and yearly apparent movement of the Sun, the algebraical structure of quaternions and how quaternions work as rotation operators has been examined. For each of the apparent movements of the Sun, a quaternion that will work as a rotation operator has been determined. Afterwards, these two rotation operators have been applied to the vector that is found between point (0,0,0) and the accepted starting point of the apparent movement of the Sun. As a result, a curve on a sphere is obtained. The importance of this study is to emphasize the use of quaternions in other areas of study and to provide the science of astronomy a new outlook with regards to expressing the apparent movement of the Sun.
Wire gauge analysis of planar spiral coil and its optimization technique in Wireless Power Transfer system

Published: May 2022

Planar spiral coil made of solid wire is widely used in wireless power transfer without magnetic core in high frequency operation system. Based on the magnetic field distribution of planar spiral coil and high frequency eddy current loss mechanism, the influence of magnetic field strength, frequency, and wire gauge on the AC resistance of winding are analysed. It reveals that the coil loss can be reduced by designing the wire gauge. Then the magnetic field strength and the winding loss calculation model are built, based on which the double wire gauge for segmental winding structure is proposed. This method can reduce the AC resistance and improve the quality factor on the premise of keeping inductance constant at high frequency. Through simulation and experiment, the AC resistance of coil based on the double wire gauge scheme can be greatly reduced comparing to the traditional method and the efficiency of the prototype is increased by 4%, which verifies the theory analysis to be correct and flexible.
An enhanced honey badger algorithm based on Lévy flight and refraction opposition-based learning for engineering design problems

Published: May 2022

Honey badger algorithm (HBA) is a recently developed meta-heuristic algorithm, which mainly simulates the dynamic search behavior of honey badger in wild nature. Similar to other basic algorithms, HBA may suffer from the weakness of poor convergence accuracy, inadequate balance between exploration and exploitation, and ease of getting trapped into the local optima. In order to address these drawbacks, this paper proposes an enhanced honey badger algorithm (EHBA) to improve the search quality of the basic method from three aspects. First, we introduce the highly disruptive polynomial mutation to initialize the population. This is considered from increasing the population diversity. Second, Lévy flight is integrated into the position update formula to boost search efficiency and balance exploration and exploitation capabilities of the algorithm. Furthermore, the refraction opposition-based learning is applied to the current global optimum of the swarm to help the population jump out of the local optima. To validate the function optimization performance, the proposed EHBA is comprehensively analyzed on 18 standard benchmark functions and IEEE CEC2017 test suite. Compared with the basic HBA and seven state-of-the-art algorithms, the experimental results demonstrate that EHBA can outperform other competitors on most of the test functions with superior solution accuracy, local optima avoidance, and stability. Additionally, the applicability of the proposed method is further highlighted by solving four engineering design problems. The results indicate that EHBA also has competitive performance and promising prospects for real-world optimization tasks.
