THE HYDRA EFFECT IN THE DYNAMIC MODEL OF AGE- AND SEX- STRUCTURED EXPLOITED POPULATION
Authors: Revutskaya O.L.
Published: September 2022

On the discrete-time model basis we study the influence of selective harvest on the dynamics of a population with age and sex structures. We consider three harvest strategies, when some part of a younger age class, or mature males, or mature females are removed. We show that the exploited sex and age-specific group equilibrium size (after reproduction) can increase with the increase of harvested individuals proportion; that is, the hydra effect is observed.

Problems of implementation of measures in connection with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic as a step towards system control in society
Authors: Poprotsky Oleksandr
Published: September 2022

The article analyzes the systemic approaches to the problem of implementing measures in connection with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic as a step towards systemic control in society. The author proved that the pandemic affects modern communications in society and has the following trends: first, the transition of communications to cyberspace (separation and isolation have abolished the usual way of communication); second, flexibility; third, new measures to measure the effectiveness of the communications model. A new, more threatening wave of COVID-19 virus or its successor in general may force individuals to consent to "anonymous" monitoring of their movements and contacts, so that on the one hand, if they are diagnosed with the disease, respond in advance and disseminate warning information to those in contact. patients, secondly - to receive a warning that there was contact with the infected and to take timely measures to combat the disease. This approach greatly simplifies public support for such strategic decisions. If we talk about developing countries, the issues of information support of the process of combating COVID-19 are of particular importance. As only a limited number of civil servants have access to real data on morbidity and consequences, there is a high probability that information will be distorted in favor of a solution that is more beneficial to the state or certain groups of stakeholders. It is worth returning to the analysis of the benefits and costs associated with the change in the zoning of individual regions of each sector of the economy. That is why data manipulation and relevant decisions on quarantine zones financially elevate certain types of business and force them to adapt, because it destroys others, widening the gap between them.
Сучасні проблеми формування та розвитку системи антикорупційних органів державної влади
Authors: Пархоменко-Куцевіл Оксана
Published: September 2022

У статті обґрунтовані чотири кластери проблем формування та розвитку антикорупційних органів державної влади. По-перше, відсутність спеціально підготовлених фахівців, які реалізуватимуть антикорупційну політику, обізнані у питаннях запобігання та подолання корупції, мають відповідну кваліфікацію та досвід діяльності. По-друге, відсутність досвіду діяльності та інституційної спроможності зазначених органів, оскільки це новостворені органи, вони формують свою діяльність з урахуванням досвіду європейських та світових практик, що не завжди спрацьовує. Адже, в Україні характер корупція відрізняється від корупційних проявів в інших країнах, тому слід враховувати національні особливості прояву корупції в нашій країні. По-третє, зазначені органи повільно розпочали свою діяльність, оскільки дуже довго формувався кадровий склад таких органів. Крім того, кількісний керівник склад та система управління Національного агентства з питань запобігання корупції двічі змінювалась. Разом з тим, ефективність діяльності даного органу державної влади поки що відсутня. По-четверте, відсутня взаємодія зазначених органів, яка повинна бути врегульована у чинних нормативно-правових документах, разом з тим, антикорупційні інституції дублюють діяльність один одного, це стосується складання адміністративних протоколів, здійснення нагляду за дотримання законодавства у частині заповнення декларацій, а також конфлікту інтересів тощо.

Intellectual system for automated determination of the quality of natural stones surfaces processing
Authors: Cherepanska I.Yu. , Sazonov A.Yu. , Kalchuk S.V. , Sokolovskyi О.F. , Sivaieva О.S.
Published: September 2022

This automation of determination of the quality of natural stone surfaces processing is a relevant problem. It provides an intellectual system for automated determination of the quality of processing surfaces of natural stones (ISADQSS), which allows rapid assessment of the quality of stone surfaces, including roughness, with high accuracy and quick action in automatic mode and real time. The measurement result is independent of the humidity and cleanliness of the outer surface. The root mean square error of the proposed ISADQSS does not exceed 5%, the time to determine the value of the roughness is not over 2 s. ISADQSS is based on the principles of synergetic integration of various technical automation devices with different properties – artificial neural networks (ANN) (in the case of their implementation in the form of neuroprocessors), as well as the so-called registrar of main drive currents (RMDC), which is used as a sensor sensitive to changes in the rubbing force of the stone-cutting tool depending on changes in the roughness value of the machined surface. The proposed ISADQSS is an innovative and promising development that combines such advantages as high accuracy and speed, versatility and ease of use.
Sex Matters in Aging. The Canagliflozin Story
Authors:   Department of Comparative Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA, Wezeman Jackson
Published: September 2022

A promising and novel approach for identifying anti-aging therapeutics has been the repurposing of clinically approved and readily available drugs in mice. Canagliflozin, a clinically approved safe, and effective drug for type 2 diabetic patients, was recently shown to robustly retard age-related lesions in male mice but less so in female mice. While this type of sex disparity is often seen in the field of aging, it does represent a dilemma of not knowing the cause or how translationally relevant the sex differences would be in older humans treated with Canagliflozin. Thoughtful and mechanistic investigations are needed to understand why these differences are present and whether they can be eliminated by new drugs or drug combinations. Success in using repurposed drugs for aging intervention studies in humans will depend on preclinical research to uncover pathways that can be targeted for the benefit of both sexes. Keywords: Aging intervention, canagliflozin, sex disparities, mouse aging, age-related lesions

Principales efectos socioambientales del cultivo agroindustrial de aguacate en San Gabriel, Jalisco. (Contexto latinoamericano)
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Saldaña Duarte María Guadalupe
Published: September 2022

El presente documento hace un análisis retrospectivo sobre los efectos socioambientales que ha causado el cultivo agroindustrial del aguacate en territorios latinoamericanos, en especial en el municipio de San Gabriel, Jalisco, México. Dicho cultivo agroindustrial ha generado la exposición a diversas formas de riesgo que conllevan problemáticas debido a la falta de regularización del Estado. Esto se relaciona con la firma de Tratados Comerciales que provocaron el aumento en la demanda a nivel global de diversos productos agrícolas, entre ellos el aguacate. La metodología utilizada es la epistemológica analítica, que consiste en descubrir las causas que originan los fenómenos desde la observación y el análisis. Los principales hallazgos de este trabajo muestran un proceso de degradación socioambiental a nivel latinoamericano, relacionado con la sobreexplotación de acuíferos, contaminación del suelo, el beneficio económico para un reducido número de productores de gran escala, así como la flexibilización gubernamental para que empresas trasnacionales se establezcan a nivel local. A manera de conclusión y partiendo de las teorías planteadas por Boisier, Gallicchio, Arocena y Vázquez-Barquero, reflexionamos sobre el tipo de desarrollo que genera la producción de aguacate en las localidades donde se cultiva
Nieuczciwe praktyki w zakresie refinansowania z wykorzystaniem krótkoterminowych pożyczek
Authors: Kugacz Bartłomiej
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this article is to present civil law mechanisms protecting consumers against unfair practices of the financial market. Companies that grant loans often bypass statutory cost limits out of concern for their own economic interests to the detriment of their customers. There-fore, it is important to point out unfair practices to which consumers are subjected by entrepre-neurs operating in the loan services sector.The work indicates the sources of consumer protection at the national and European level, which are to counteract the violation of consumer rights in commercial transactions sensu largo. It should be stressed that the consumer in asymmetrical relations is a subject particularly vulnerable to unfair practices of the trader, who often uses his advantage, especially his information ad-vantage, to gain additional income by imposing on the consumer a number of financial burdens (usually not equivalent to the costs incurred by the trader), resulting in harming the weaker party to the loan contract, i.e. the consumer. The market of financial services that specialise in granting short-term loans is not subject to control by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF), which encourages unfair market practices, therefore it is important to notice the problem of lack of state supervision over the activities of such companies. This paper is the result of analysis of case-law and literature in the field of non-bank fi-nancial services.

Authors: Omieczyńska Sandra , Pietraszuk Rafał
Published: September 2022

The issue of the employee’s absence from the workplace while he was obliged to perform work has been repeatedly considered in the light of basic employee duties, among which there is the obligation to observe the agreed time and schedule of work and the obligation to care for the welfare of the workplace. Judicature, considering the issues related to the employee’s absence, developed the thesis according to which the unjustified absence, resulting from willful misconduct or gross negligence of the employee, constitutes a serious violation of basic employee obligations, which in turn may lead to the termination of the employment contract pursuant to art. 52 of the Labor Code. In addition, unjustified and arbitrary leaving the workplace despite the order to work overtime and the exercise of the right to leave on demand despite justified objection, in accordance with the developed line of jurisprudence, may also constitute the basis for terminating the employment contract without notice due to the employee's fault.

Este artigo aborda as contribuições da Nova Teoria da Comunicação (NTC) no escopo da Comunicação compreendida em sua maioridade, como Ciência. Levada a cabo por Ciro Marcondes Filho (*1948-†2020), a NTC privilegia o metáporo como procedimento de pesquisa científica. De acordo com a epistemologia metapórica, a comunicação é um fenômeno raro, impossível de ser capturada por métodos científicos tradicionais e pressupõe uma abertura ao movimento, ao vivo. Em busca de exemplificar o procedimento metapórico, o vídeo, compreendido como um estado, é apresentado aqui como forma possibilitadora da experiência dinâmica; trata-se de uma possibilidade de rasgar uma passagem no sentido de privilegiar a intuição sensível e desvelar o Acontecimento comunicacional.

A revista recebe o nome de um dos grandes pensadores do mundo ocidental, Paulo de Tarso. Paulo (Paulus) é o sujeito que pensa o acontecimento e sua relação com a vida. Vive a experiênciade estar num mundo plural, expõe-se a dialogar com os intelectuais de seu tempo, encontrando-se com os de fora, com os diferentes, com as culturas e a fé. um pensador das fronteiras e do universal. Paulo, acima de tudo, foi um amante e buscador ousado da verdade. A Faculdade Paulus de Tecnologia e Comunicação FAPCOM nasce do espírito paulino, porque inspirada no apóstolo Paulo estabelece para si a missão de pensar e ser referência na área da comunicação. A palavra comunicação tornou-se uma das mais conhecidas e repetidas à exaustão, dá o nome aos meios diversos de comunicação e no dia a dia aparece nos diálogos informais. Contudo, vale a pergunta:o que é a comunicação? Realmente as pessoas se comunicam? As tecnologias e seus aparatos podem realmente se comunicar? A revista propõe ser um espaço onde possa se discutir acadêmica e criticamente esse acontecimento fundamental que é a comunicação. O acontecimento da comunicação implica que este reluza nas fronteiras da filosofia e das tecnologias. A filosofia torna-se uma das principais áreas com as quais o acontecimento comunicacional deve dialogar, pois foi ela que pôs primeiro a questão do que é a comunicação. Outra fronteira são as tecnologias que, no mundo contemporâneo, fazem-se presentes em todos os processos da vida humana. O núcleo de atuação da revista estabelece o diálogo entre comunicação, filosofia e tecnologia, com abertura ao que ocorre na sociedade contemporânea e aos seus desafios. A posição assumida pela revista é a da criticidade. Para dar conta de tal desafio de diálogo com o acontecimento comunicacional, publicar-se-á um dossiê sobre o tema central de cada revista, elaboradopor um pesquisador sênior. Trará um artigo internacional de importância acadêmica que ajude a ampliar a discussão central do tema da revista. Os artigos compõem-se de rica produção acadêmica de doutores, pluralizando a visão sobre o assunto tratado. Uma entrevista feita por um pesquisador júnior ajudará a compor uma nova visão, outra perspectiva ao tema estudado. Fundamental será a resenha de obras nacionais ou internacionais de autores queajudem a pensar a comunicação. Por fim, a resenha da melhor tese desenvolvida na área de comunicação ou da filosofia. A FAPCOM e a Paulus Editora unem-se a este espírito e desejam consolidar a sua missão de pensar a comunicação.
THE SYNTHESIS OF METHYLAMMONIUM LEAD IODIDE ON MESOPORE TiO2 THIN FILM APPLYING OSTWALD RIPENING PROCESS UNDER AMBIENT CONDITION
Authors: C. Kusumawardani  , J. Ikhsan
Published: September 2022

Organometallic halide-based perovskite solar cells have played a significant role in the development of photovoltaic technology. The synthesis of the perovskite usually needs specific atmospheres, especially controlled humidity. Here, we demonstrate the synthesis of compact methylammonium lead iodide perovskite (MAPbI3) on TiO2 under ambient conditions through one and two-step spin-coating deposition methods, which both resulted in an unconverted PbI2 on the films. The two-step method provided a higher amount of PbI2 regarding the reaction of methyl ammonium iodide (MAI) with an outer layer of the first bonded PbI2 hindered the inner layer to interact with MAI. The Ostwald ripening (OR) process that was applied to the thin film resulted through one-step deposition synthesis has successfully converted the unformed PbI2 to MAPbI3 with a more uniform, lower void, and higher crystal size as confirmed by XRD and SEM analysis results. The application of MAPbI3 prepared using OR treatment in the solar cell resulted in higher efficiency (7.64%) than the one synthesized without OR (4.91%).

Published: September 2022

Integration of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to membranes and its effect on the physicochemical properties with chitosan/natural zeolite from Pahae (PNZ) was investigated. Membranes were fabricated using a solution casting method and sulfuric acid crosslinking. The results showed that the CS/PNZ/rGO membrane (0.5% w/w) exhibited the highest tensile strength of 17.8 MPa. All rGO-modified membranes displayed a higher tensile strength than CS/PNZ-based membranes with only 10.8 MPa. The optimum elongation at break properties of CS/PNZ/rGO (1.5% w/w) was 2.9%. The membrane was stable under oxidative stress for 416 min while the CS/PNZ/rGO membrane (1.5% w/w) persisted until 686 min. The modified rGO membranes crosslinked with sulfuric acid were improved through tensile strength and stable against oxidation. As the modified membranes showed desirable properties from our study, it was then possible to be utilized as renewed polymer electrolyte membranes (PEM).

Cultural Volunteering of University Students: Assessment of Participation Experience and Potential for Development
Authors: Pevnaya M. V. , Drozdova A. A.
Published: September 2022

Russian universities in recent years are increasingly positioned as centers for the development of Russian regions. As part of their third mission, universities are beginning to be included in the socio-cultural development of the territories. In these processes, student social initiatives and sociocultural projects with their participation are playing an increasingly important role both for the students themselves and their self-realization, and for the Russian regions in the context of increasing their sustainability. The article was based on the materials of two studies: monitoring of the students of the Sverdlovsk region and a survey of the youth of the Sverdlovsk region, implemented in 2020. The authors explore the experience of social participation of university students in the Sverdlovsk region, their involvement in the practice of volunteering in the cultural sphere. The purpose of this article is to characterize the volunteer experience of students in the field of culture, to assess the potential of youth cultural volunteering in the context of solving urgent problems of universities as regional development centers. The authors record an increase in the proportion of students involved in volunteering on a regular basis, with a sufficiently large number of those who, after a one-time participation, are not ready to help in specific volunteer practices. The article deals with groups of students with and without experience of volunteering in the field of culture. The authors prove that students with experience in cultural volunteering are more interested in it and are really involved in the cultural life of their cities. The potential for the development of volunteer activity among a wider range of students lies in the increased interest of young people in major cultural events. The social participation of students in the eventful cultural agenda of cities and regions can increase the competencies of young professionals that are in demand, while it works to form the social responsibility of universities. The identified characteristics of the cultural volunteering of youth in the Sverdlovsk region are also inherent in other Russian regions.

Published: September 2022

The article presents the results of generalization and systematization of scientific and practical information on the variety of types of blended educational technologies used in Russian higher education institutions. This specific product of digitalization causes the greatest interest of researchers and practitioners in the field of education. This systematic review is based on national scientific publications related to the development and practical implementation of educational technologies in higher education. The authors have analyzed 180 papers published between 2016 and 2021 in peer-reviewed scientific journals approved by the Higher Attestation Commission. Methods of qualitative and quantitative content analysis, systems analysis and contextological analysis, as well as analytical grouping, have been used.Content analysis of publications showed that the main property of blended educational technologies is their variability, which manifests itself through the described system of indicators. However, the structural organization of blended educational technologies models remains the most debatable issue among researches.The authors have identified and described the main directions in the development of the theory and practical application of blended educational technologies, namely: the formation of the structure and boundaries of the conceptual and terminological field; elaboration of the methodological basis of blended education development and definition of theoretical basis for changing traditional learning systems by designing a learning process based on the mechanisms of pedagogical and digital technologies integration.It has been established that the empirical studies with the elements of experimental work focused on defining the most effective combinations of traditional and digital educational technologies dominate in the national scientific community. The most popular methods of such integration include rotation of forms and types of learning activity in traditional and digital learning environments, integration of digital and traditional educational technologies based on the Moodle learning management system, as well as inclusion of separate forms and means of e-learning in the educational process.

Inter-commodity Price Transmission between Maize and Wheat in South Africa
Authors: Ramoroka Philly , Muchopa Chiedza L.
Published: September 2022

The relevance of price transmission studies has grown in momentum in the Sub-Saharan Africa region over the last few decades especially in relation to grains that are also linked through food supply chains. Such studies give clear and insightful information into markets particularly the supply side and led to a better understanding of how sustainable supply chains can be delivered in the wake of climate change impacts. Hence, the study aimed at investigating inter-commodity producer price transmission between maize and wheat in South Africa. The study employed secondary time series data that covered a sample size of 29 years (1990 – 2018). Graphical trends revealed that prices of both commodities followed an upward trend although fluctuations were observed in specific periods. Granger causality tests were performed and revealed no bidirectional causality relationship between maize and wheat producer prices. However, unidirectional causality was found from maize to wheat prices. The significance of these findings is in their capacity to inform and bridge the knowledge gap in identifying patterns which can be used in interpreting price trends in maize and wheat markets (across commodities). The development of effective policies to improve marketing performance is important for sustainable supply of food.

Foreign Direct Investment, Public Sector Venality and Entrepreneurship Development in Developing Countries
Authors: Dzomonda Obey , Ngwakwe Collins C.
Published: September 2022

This paper evaluates the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and entrepreneurship development in developing countries. The paper also analyses the intervening effect of public sector venality and the foreign direct investment effect on developing entrepreneurship in developing countries. The paper applied a quantitative research method. Secondary data collection covered four years (2016-2019). Data related to FDI were collected from the World Bank database; data for public sector corruption were collected from the Transparency International Corruption Index, and data related to entrepreneurship development were collected from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) reports. The sample consisted of nine developing countries which resulted in 36 observations. Data were analysed with the application of fixed effect regression. The results showed that foreign direct investment significantly affects entrepreneurship development in developing countries and that public sector venality negatively affects entrepreneurship development. The practical significance of these findings includes the need for developing countries to place pragmatic emphasis on the continuous attraction of foreign direct investment to accelerate the positive spill-over effect of foreign direct investment on local entrepreneurs, which comes with skills and technology advantages – amongst others. There is a dire need for governments in developing countries to rethink their approach toward eradicating public sector venality, which this research has confirmed as inimical to the nurturing and development of local entrepreneurship. This paper recommends an agenda for further research to explore the current model by including more samples and more time series in future analysis models.

The Choice of Translation Strategy in the 21th Century — Based on Comparison of Two Translation Versions of Lun Yu
Authors: Chen Hao
Published: September 2022

From the Ming and Qing Dynasty onward, Lun Yu has been rendered into virtually all the main languages in the world. Of all English versions of the book, this paper will focus on Ku Hungming’s version and Legge’s version and seek to analyze how can we better coordinate foreignization and domestication to boost the diffusion of the Chinese culture across the world. It is commonly recognized that the two English versions mentioned above are excellent and classical versions of Lun Yu. Yet they adopted totally different translation strategies: Ku Hungming’s version tends to employ the strategy of foreignization while Legge’s version the strategy of domestication. After delving into the pros and cons of the two versions and bearing in mind China’s changing position in the global arena, this paper calls for adjustment of translation strategy so as to help the rest of the world better understand the genuine Chinese culture and increase the recognition of it.

Published: September 2022

This article starts with the definition of pluriliteracies approaches (PA) in Second Language Education (SLE) and background on the current state of English education in secondary schools in mainland China. We hold the opinion that PA has been widely adopted by English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) teachers. By providing examples in previous literatures and the document published by the government, we conclude that PA promotes language teaching and assists students in developing a comprehensive and inclusive awareness of languages and cultures. And some implications for language teachers in other countries are offered at the end.
