Diseño e implementación de un sistema automático de control para la regulación y monitoreo de las condiciones internas del secador solar térmico forzado híbrido
Authors: Molina-Hernández Pablo José , Castro-Badilla Guillermo , Guzmán-Hernández Tomás de Jesús
Published: June 2022

Para el secado y deshidratación de productos agrícolas, el Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica, Campus Local San Carlos, cuenta con un secador solar térmico forzado híbrido con respaldo de gas LP. El sistema forzado consiste en la circulación, mediante turbinas, de aire y agua caliente por la cámara de secado.
El sistema híbrido consiste en la utilización de energía solar y de gas natural para la elevación de la temperatura, en el interior de la cámara de secado o deshidratación. Para el proceso de control de humedad, el secador utiliza un sistema manual. Las desventajas del proceso manual de control de humedad incluyen (a) dependencia a un operador para el encendido/apagado del sistema, (b) no permite la adaptación del sistema a las condiciones ambientales circundantes al secador, (c) alto consumo energético para llegar a las condiciones de humedad requeridas para el almacenamiento y procesamiento de los productos agrícolas.
Se tuvo como objetivo la mejora del actual secador por medio de la automatización del proceso de humedad y temperatura. El sistema propuesto utiliza un PLC (Controlador Lógico Programable por sus siglas en inglés) para el control de humedad, y permite el monitoreo de las variables de humedad y temperatura, tanto interna como externa a la cámara de secado. 
Los principales resultados de la investigación son una mejora en la eficiencia del secador al disminuir el tiempo en el que se alcanza los niveles óptimos de secado y la implementación de un sistema de monitoreo y visualización de las variables involucradas.

Authors: Kalabikhina Irina , Rebrey Sofia
Published: June 2022

The article is devoted to the contribution of the great Russian scholar economist N. M. Rimashevskaya to development of gender economic studies in the USSR and in Russia. N. M. Rimashevskaya found a scientific school of gender studies in the USSR, then developed it in Russia, amid the changing economic and socio-political order. The authors consider the scientific and socio-political path of N. M. Rimashevskaya and the directions of her work in the field of gender economic studies in the Soviet, transitional periods and in the new Millennium. The article shows the role of N. M. Rimashevskaya in institutionalization of gender studies in the USSR and Russia, in particular, in creation of the Moscow Center for Gender Studies, academic journal "Population", in conducting the Taganrog project, which is unique in terms of duration and its socio-economic and gender analysis' depth. Ahead of the spread of the gender agenda among international organizations such as the UN, as early as in the 1960s and 1970s, N. M. Rimashevskaya conducted gender comparison of the daily time-use and its distribution to paid and unpaid work based on the data collected in Taganrog, predetermining one of the most relevant areas for development of gender economic analysis and gender budgeting, as well as economic analysis in general. The article also pays attention to the research and development of strategic concepts concerning the country's socio-economic policy and the programs carried out by the Moscow Center for Gender Studies. The impact of the scientific school of gender studies in Moscow on the formation and institutionalization of women's social and political movements in the newly formed democracy in the early 1990s also deserves a special attention. And finally, the key areas of economic research on gender inequality conducted under the leadership of N. M. Rimashevskaya are structured and described.

Indicators characterizing the health of Russian residents by 2021
Authors: Nazarova Inna
Published: June 2022

Based on the data of the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey of the Higher School of Economics, the main factors characterizing health in dynamics on the basis of respondents' self-assessments from 1994 to 2020 are considered. According to the 2020 data, no significant changes in health have been revealed, that might allow us to talk about an obvious impact of the pandemic. About a half of men and a third of women considered themselves healthy, 45.8% of men and 52.0% of women define their health as average. The negative assessments by residents of various settlements have almost become equal, and by 2020, urban residents have already assessed their health as worse than residents of villages. Villagers are half as likely to rate their health as poor. The main factors that can make a negative contribution to the pandemic situation have been identified: (1) 8.5% of men and 13.2% of women consider their health to be bad and very bad; during the past 30 days in 2020, a fifth of men and a third of women had health problems; (2) 22.6% are not satisfied with their lives in general, the well-being of men and women practically does not differ; (3) 56.3% are not satisfied with their financial situation; 29.7% reported that their financial situation has worsened; (4) 6.7% are not satisfied with their work; (5) 16.6% do not see prospects and believe that they will live worse in the near future; (6) 63.4% of people are very worried or a little worried about the threat of losing their job; (7) 77.4% lead a passive lifestyle, do not exercise; (8) 43.9% of men and 13.1% of women smoke.
Cognitive Resistance to Government Influences in Russia (the Case of COVID-19 Vaccination)
Authors: Babich Nikolay , Batykov Ivan
Published: June 2022

The article considers the phenomenon of “cognitive resistance” as individuals’ blocking of certain behavior that is stimulated by means of communicative influence on them. This phenomenon can be observed in relation to influences that are perceived by addressees as manipulation. The article presents the results of an empirical study, the purpose of which was to test the hypothesis of the presence of such resistance. The method of a survey experiment of the “split ballot” type was used. During the public opinion poll one group was offered informational materials about vaccination against COVID-19, allegedly coming from government agencies, the other group – the same materials, but allegedly coming from a private person. Comparison of the results showed that the respondents of the first group experienced a significantly higher level of distrust of the source’s motives, more actively sought to find a refutation of the information they offered, and worsened their attitude to vaccination instead of improving it. Thus, the study confirms the existence of the phenomenon of cognitive resistance in Russian society on the example of the situation with vaccination against COVID-19, and shows that the reason for this cognitive resistance is probably the attribution of hostile motives to the state.
Transformation of the Reproductive Model of the Tuvan Family: Historical Retrospective and Current Trends
Authors: Natsak Organa
Published: June 2022

The article analyzes the transformation of the reproductive model of Tuvan families in historical retrospect and in the context of modern world and Russian trends through the study of factors that influenced the birth rate, child survival, as well as the population growth of Tuva in the XX–XXI centuries, including through the theory of the second demographic transition. The author has focused on the role of intraregional migration flows “village-city” and the process of urbanization in the transformation of the reproductive model of families, changes in family size and childhood. There is also an review of the possible impact of abortions and new reproductive technologies on the demographic profile of Tuvan families. The research attention is also has been paid to the change in the general marriage coefficients in Tuva in comparison with the all-Russian value of the indicator and the indicators of individual regions. The author has made an attempt to explain the specifics of the formation of the indicator of illegitimate births and unregistered marriages, as well as the dynamics of the divorce rate in a comparative context with other Russian regions.
The article shows the place of family and children in the hierarchy of life values of modern Tuvan families, presents the results of a study of reproductive strategies of modern Tuvan families based on a quantitative sociological survey.
The relevance of such a study is due not only to the need to predict demographic processes, the development of human potential of the border subject of the Russian Federation as the Republic of Tuva, but also to understand the historical context that largely determined the population growth of Tuva.
The novelty of the proposed article is that for the first time an attempt has been made to systematically analyze and comprehend the transformation of the reproductive model of the Tuvan family in historical retrospect and in the context of modern world and Russian trends on the basis of an interdisciplinary approach.
Social Cohesion of the Armenian Diaspora in Russia: Theory and Practice of Measurement
Authors: Osadchaya Galina , Kireev Egor , Vartanova Marina , Roslavtseva Maria
Published: June 2022

The social cohesion of the Armenian Diaspora in Russia is the most important condition for ensuring its well-being, vitality, stability of daily life, creating conditions for the realization of socioeconomic potential in the interests of Russia and Armenia. However, despite the attention to the study of various aspects of its functioning as an ethnocultural and ethnopolitical phenomenon, this problem has remained outside the Russian scientific discourse. The purpose of the article is to show the mechanisms of formation of cohesion, social ties, altruistic behavior, to reveal the forms of exchange, interaction, cooperation in the interests of meeting the needs of members of the Armenian Diaspora as a way of capitalizing trust based on similarity of interests and awareness of oneself as a special ethnic group.
The methodology of studying the social cohesion of the Armenian Diaspora in Russia is determined by the specifics of the subject under study, the author’s research approach to measuring this phenomenon, the purpose of the study, as well as the theoretical constructs of social cohesion that allow us to articulate the results more clearly. The methodological strategy includes a questionnaire survey of 1,273 members of the Armenian Diaspora in the Moscow agglomeration, Krasnodar and Stavropol Territories.
The article proposes a multidimensional model for assessing the social cohesion of the Armenian Diaspora in Russia, representing a system of criteria characterizing its essential features, which includes subjective representations and behavioral aspects of mutual assistance and interaction of diaspora members.
Based on the analysis of empirical data on the social cohesion of the Armenian Diaspora in Russia, four groups are identified: the central one is the most numerous, representing a cohesive core, the peripheral one is a group of the alienated, a group of undecided in assessing the degree of cohesion of the Armenian diaspora and marginals.
Measuring the cohesion of the diaspora based on the material of quantitative empirical research is difficult and has limitations. However, it allows avoiding the subjectivity of the conclusions of studies conducted on small samples, clarifying not only the state, but also the causes and consequences, which is productive for assessing the social cohesion of the Armenian Diaspora.

Authors: Rakitskaya Tatyana , Truba Alla , Dzhyga Ganna
Published: June 2022

The effect of halide ions (X= Cl−, Br−, I−) on the kinetics of ozone decomposition by compositions supported on the natural bentonite of the Dashukovske deposit in Ukraine (N-Bent(D)) has been studied. The obtained results have shown that the activity of the KX/N-Bent(D) composition in the ozone decomposition reaction increases in the row KCl << KBr < KI, which correlates with an increase in their reducing properties (the redox potential of the Х2/2Х− pair decreases). Such catalyst compositions can be recommended for applying in personal protective equipment for the respiratory system.

Published: June 2022

Background: Malocclusion is one of the main problems of oral and dental health, ranked third after caries and periodontal diseases. In Asian population, the percentage of class II and III Angle malocclusion is 21.42% and 5.76% respectively. Thus, orthodontic treatment is still needed by the people. However, not every patient knows the potential risks that orthodontic treatment, and whether the treatment will bring them benefits they want to achieve. Purpose: this study aimed to describe benefits and risks of orthodontic treatment on the patient and operator through scooping review. Review(s): The search of literatures show that orthodontic treatment increases patient’s oral health related quality of life, reducing the risk of traumatic dental injuries in children with large overjet, and reducing the incident of muscle tenderness, and myofascial pain. However, orthodontic treatment poses the risk of damage to the teeth, oral and mucosal pain, speech problems, allergic reactions, and orthodontics relapse. Conclusion: Orthodontic treatment can provide benefits to patients’ oral health related quality of life, as well as reducing the incidence of temporomandibular disorder and traumatic dental injuries in children with large overjet. But these benefits must outweigh the risks that can occur in the patient such as teeth damage, oral and mucosal pain, speech problems, allergic reactions, and the probability of relapse must also be minimized.

AbstractBefore the civil cases be decided in District Court, the judge will ask the parties to do conciliation first. If the parties agree to do conciliation, then a written Acta van Dading, containing the matters agreed by the parties, will be formed. Later, the deed will be strengthened into a Reconciliation Verdict which is binding and can be executed. Acta van Dading, because it contains executive power, can be followed up with the issuance of an Execution Order, if one of the parties didn’t carry out the contents of the decision. However, in reality it is possible that something that was agreed upon in the Acta van Dading, which would then be executed, turned out to be detrimental to a well-intentioned buyer, who entitled to that thing. This study aims to answer what forms of legal protection can be given to well-intentioned buyer of land rights, who is harmed by Execution Order based on Acta Van Dading. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that to defend his/her right, a well-intentioned third party can file a derden verzet against the daading verdict that detriment him/her and can also file a tort lawsuit to get a compensation.Keywords: Acta van Dading; Execution Order; Reconciliation Verdict; Well-Intentioned Buyer; Derden Verzet.
AbstrakPada prinsipnya, dalam penyelesaian perkara perdata di Pengadilan Negeri, sebelum sengketa itu diputus, hakim akan mengusahakan perdamaian di antara para pihak terlebih dahulu. Apabila para pihak setuju untuk berdamai, maka akan dibentuk Acta van Dading secara tertulis yang berisi hal-hal yang disetujui para pihak demi selesainya sengketa. Kemudian, terhadap akta tersebut akan dikuatkan menjadi Putusan Perdamaian, sehingga memiliki kekuatan hukum mengikat dan kekuatan eksekutorial. Terhadap Acta van Dading tersebut karena didalamnya terdapat kekuatan eksekutorial, tentunya dapat ditindaklanjuti dengan dikeluarkannya Penetapan Eksekusi, jika salah satu pihak tidak melaksanakan isi putusan tersebut.

The study examined corporate governance and corporate sustainability impact on the performance of South African listed companies. Data retrieved from 30 companies for the period 2010-2020 was analysed using panel fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) and dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS) methods. Dependent variables were grouped into the Accounting-based approach and the Market-based approach. Explanatory variables were also grouped into Corporate Governance and Accounting ratios. Findings revealed a strong relationship between corporate governance and company performance. This was substantiated by the result from Board gender diversity, which revealed both positive and negative relationships that were significant under both approaches. Directors’ remuneration revealed a positive but insignificant relationship under both approaches, while Board size revealed a negative relationship under both approaches. Further findings also revealed a strong relationship between corporate sustainability performance and company performance. This was established by the results from the ESG and ROA and ROE, which revealed negative but significant relationships under the first approach and became positive and significant under the second approach. Lastly, a strong relationship between corporate governance and corporate sustainability performance was revealed as shown between ESP and directors’ remuneration and a negative but significant relationship with board size and gender diversity. A cross-country based investigation to ascertain whether the same results can be achieved should be carried out.
