Authors: López Granda Víctor Alan ,   Universidad San Gregorio de Portoviejo. Manabí. Ecuador., Reyna Zambrano Yokir ,   Universidad San Gregorio de Portoviejo, Manabí, Ecuador.
Published: July 2024

This article analyzes the structure, powers and functions of the Constitutional Court, the highest body of constitutional control and inter-pretation in Ecuador. The purpose is to determine whether its decisions are influenced by the influence of the governments in power and the polit-ical power of the State. The methodology used corresponds to a qualitative analysis, in addition to the application of methods such as legal exegetical, case study and his-torical-legal, allowing an analysis of the relevant norms, as well as the re-alization of a comparative study against the systems of selection of judges applied by other States in Latin America. The results reflect the issuance of decisions by the CC that are generated by its structure and, above all, by the form and process of selection of the judges that comprise it. Finally, it is concluded that such incidence has been reflected in different rulings, and based on this, a change in the system of selection of judges is proposed, applying an open competition, instead of a closed one, in order to limit the influence of the government of the day on such election.
Private property and governmentality in China, an approach
Authors: Lagarrigue Franco Maximiliano ,   Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, Instituto de Estudiosde América Latina y el Caribe, CABA, Argentina.
Published: July 2024

This paper offers an approach to the study of private property in contemporary China from the point of view of governmentality (Foucault). Based on a brief reconstruction of the main legal and political events that gave greater prominence to private property, the paper analyses some characteristics of this right within the framework of the Chinese Commu-nist Party’s (CCP) art of government. The analysis shows, taking up the contributions of governmentality, that the recognition of private property not only responds to measures of economic liberalisation, but also to a government practice that seeks, by indirect means, to strengthen the State and the Party. The paper is organised in three parts. The first part reconstructs the main legal and political measures that led the CCP to legally recognise private property in 2007. The second part provides a brief analysis of private prop-erty and Chinese socialism, introducing Michel Foucault’s genealogy of ne-oliberalism. The last part highlights the contributions of the notion of gov-ernmentality to the analysis of private property in contemporary China.
Porn for the blind: Accessibility to pornography for visually impaired and blind users
Authors: Grieco Renato
Published: July 2024

This article addresses the overlooked issue of accessibility in pornography for the blind and visually impaired, emphasizing the technical challenges involved. Focusing on audio descriptions as a key element, the paper explores the struggle of conveying emotional and sensory aspects in a purely aural context. Existing platforms are analyzed, revealing the lack of universal standards and quality control for audio-described porn, and the complexity in creating a coherent broadcast in absence of guidelines. The paper suggests a shift from traditional technical perspectives and recommends user testing with the visually impaired community for feedback. Logistical challenges, including finding willing performers and supporters, are acknowledged. The methodology involves analytical studies, aiming to uncover discrepancies in audio standards and proposing optimization strategies. This scholarly pursuit posits collaborative endeavors as a catalyst for augmenting inclusivity, equality, and sexual well-being for the visually impaired individuals within the pornography milieu.

Processos curatoriais e exposições de artes indígenas na/da América Latina
Authors: Goldstein Ilana Seltzer , Souza Arissana Braz Bonfim de , Barcelos Neto Aristoteles
Published: July 2024

Embora as artes indígenas sempre tenham estado presentes, com grande diversidade e sofisticação, entre povos do mundo todo, elas só começaram a ser incluídas na história da arte, e exibidas no sistema da arte ocidental a partir da segunda metade do século XX. No Brasil, o processo foi ainda mais tardio, observando-se uma especial efervescência nos últimos dez anos, com grande protagonismo indígena. Porém, os modos de colecionar e expor obras indígenas dentro do sistema da arte são complexos e espinhosos, abrangendo desde questões éticas, até técnicas de preservação de coisas muitas vezes feitas para serem efêmeras. Passam por mal-entendidos ontológicos e por barreiras linguísticas. Abarcam decisões sobre como identificar e contextualizar os elementos da exposição. Exigem esforços de tradução cultural e respeito aos regimes de visibilidade próprios de cada objeto e imagem – o que pode ser visto, por quem. Demandam aproximações entre curadoria e mediação/educação. Foi pensando nesses desafios e na falta de fóruns de discussão sobre eles que nos propusemos a reunir, no presente dossiê, reflexões sobre exposições e coleções de artes indígenas na/da América Latina. Afinal, os projetos têm se multiplicado, contudo, as memórias sobre eles muitas vezes acabam ficando restritas às pessoas diretamente envolvidas. Interessava-nos, também, estimular reflexões que transitassem entre a história da arte, a antropologia, a museologia e outras disciplinas vizinhas, e que colocassem lado a lado o pensamento indígena e o não-indígena. Em outras palavras, procuramos construir um dossiê panorâmico, interdisciplinar e, sempre que possível, interepistêmico.
Cacos como patrimônio
Authors: Medeiros Maria Eduarda Soares Dias de , Evaristo Vanessa Dantas , Hissa Sarah de Barros Viana
Published: July 2024

O patrimônio cultural brasileiro permeia várias facetas e diferentes valores, dentre eles o valor da memória. Ao pensar em patrimônio, diversos exemplos vêm à nossa mente, mas principalmente notórias expressões culturais e construções monumentais. Neste artigo propomos um olhar para a materialidade cotidiana, as louças valorizadas na herança, mas também as cerâmicas de barro, cujo saber-fazer é passado por gerações. Buscamos elevar essa materialidade como patrimônio cultural para além do olhar arqueológico, evidenciando os aspectos sensíveis contidos nas argilas. Nesse sentido, reforçamos que a distância entre o que entendemos como patrimônio arqueológico e como patrimônio cultural nada mais é do que um reflexo da ruptura epistemológica entre o período histórico e o presente contemporâneo.
Estratégias de ação sindical transnacional
Authors: Hamdan Tarik Dias
Published: July 2024

Neste artigo discuto a escolha do Sindicato dos Metalúrgicos do ABC por utilizar prioritariamente o Comitê Mundial de Trabalho em sua estratégia sindical internacional frente a Volkswagen em detrimento de outras modalidades. Para tanto, realizo um estudo de caso com um recorte temporal de 1999 até 2022. Em relação às técnicas de pesquisa, a mobilização de 4 entrevistas e documentos secundários como documentos da empresa e de jornais sindicais foram as principais ferramentas. Teoricamente, essa pesquisa se ampara na literatura da Teoria do Confronto Político, utilizando o conceito de estrutura de oportunidades. Os resultados apontam que o uso do Comitê, em contraste com outros repertórios, é fruto de estruturas de oportunidades favoráveis que diminuem os custos de ação coletiva e permitem o aumento do poder institucional dos trabalhadores. Em comparação, outras formas de organização com o Sindicato Global e redes sindicais internacionais possuem custos superiores e um menor nível de poder, o que diminui o incentivo para o seu uso.

Gestão do conhecimento e divisão internacional do trabalho na indústria automotiva
Authors: Maggi Diego Moreira
Published: July 2024

Este artigo busca contribuir para as discussões sobre as transformações no mundo do trabalho e a divisão internacional da produção a partir do estudo de caso da indústria automotiva no Brasil. A pesquisa foi realizada através de um método quantitativo de análise de dados sobre o mercado de trabalho brasileiro provenientes da Relação Anual de Informações Sociais (RAIS), abrangendo o período entre 2006 e 2020. Esses dados foram analisados por meio de categorias oficiais de tipos de ocupação e de atividade econômica, segregando montadoras e fornecedoras de autopeças. Como resultado, identificou-se que, em 2020, o Brasil concentrava quase meio milhão de empregos formais na indústria automotiva, sendo 63,5% desses empregos em ocupações diretamente ligadas à produção e apenas 5,6% de “profissionais das ciências e das artes”. O cálculo de um quociente de concentração ocupacional mostra que as montadoras concentram proporcionalmente mais empregos relacionados às atividades de pesquisa e desenvolvimento (P&D) do que as firmas fornecedoras. Argumenta-se que os resultados reforçam a percepção de que o Brasil ocupa uma posição intermediária na rede global de produção automotiva, sendo responsável majoritariamente por atividades de produção. Ao mesmo tempo, o estudo reforça a hipótese de que a necessidade de adaptação dos produtos aos mercados regionais pressiona as empresas transnacionais (ETN) a descentralizar parte de seus processos de P&D, transferindo conhecimento para subsidiárias e empresas locais.
Uma cadeia de sinergias
Authors: Luedy Laura
Published: July 2024

No pequeno livro O Antropoceno e as Humanidades, publicado em 2023, José Eli da Veiga explora dois agudos sintomas da dissociação entre os conhecimentos produzidos nas áreas de ciências naturais e de ciências humanas ou sociais na atualidade: a ignorância generalizada sobre a importante contribuição que Charles Darwin legou a essas últimas em sua segunda grande obra, The Descent of Man (1871), e reação bastante heterogênea, mas em geral vaga e tardia, que elas tiveram à questão do Antropoceno.

Úton a szinodális egyház felé : Az egyház szervezeti kommunikációja a gyakorlatban, különös tekintettel a Római Katolikus Egyházra
Authors: Kovács Lajos , Horányi Özséb
Published: July 2024

A Római Katolikus Egyház szervezeti struktúrája szigorúan hierarchikus, kommunikációs stratégiáját pedig a fentről lefele tartó, egyirányú kommunikáció jellemzi. Ennek a szervezeti hagyománynak természetesen megvan a maga történelmi-társadalmi eredete, de még inkább az ekkleziológiai lehorgonyzottsága, amely közel kétezer év óta ad iránymutatást a szervezet önértelmezése, valamint külső-belső kommunikációja terén.
A reklámra való figyelmeztetés és a felhasznált fotó esztétikájának hatása a szponzorált közösségimédia-posztok hatékonyságára
Authors: Buvár Ágnes
Published: July 2024

Az influenszerek által közzétett szponzorált közösségi posztok esetében problémát jelenthet, hogy a fogyasztók nem ismerik fel a közzétett üzenet reklámjellegét. Jelen tanulmány a meggyőzési tudatosság modelljére és a CARE modellre építve vizsgálja a reklámra való figyelmeztetés és a felhasznált fotó esztétikájának hatását a szponzorált tartalom hatékonyságára. Feltételeztük, hogy a reklámra való figyelmeztetés nagyobb hatást vált ki, amennyiben a szponzorált poszt az Instagram esztétikájához jobban illeszkedő pillanatképszerű fotót tartalmaz, szemben egy professzionális fotóval. Hipotéziseinket egy 2 x 2-es (kontroll versus reklámra figyelmeztetés, pillanatkép vs professzionális fotó) online kísérletes vizsgálattal teszteltük. Eredményeink igazolták a hipotéziseinket: a pillanatképszerű fotót tartalmazó szponzorált poszt esetében a reklámra való figyelmeztetés negatívabban hatott az észlelt hitelességre és a poszttal kapcsolatos attitűdökre is. A tanulmány végén összefoglaljuk elméleti és gyakorlati következtetéseinket.

Published: July 2024

To explore the grapevine biodiversity of some minor viticultural districts located in the northwest coastal area of Tuscany, a total of 99 grapevine samples were collected from field borders or no longer cultivated areas and analysed at the molecular level using 12 microsatellite markers (SSR). The results revealed the presence of 58 unique genotypes among which 42 already known varieties (36 belonging to the Vitis vinifera species and 6 Vitis interspecific crosses) and 16 hitherto unreported genetic profiles. About 50 % of the accessions (52 out of 99) were vegetatively propagated and planted in a vineyard collection to protect them from extinction and to record their phenotypic characteristics. This research has highlighted the potential for using several grapevine cultivars that were probably once widespread and can henceforth be cultivated again to help revive the eco-wine tourism of the Tuscan heroic vineyards and add prestige to the local wine panorama.
Cyber Threats and the Erosion of Privacy: Examining the Delicate Equilibrium
Authors: Bharati Rahul Kailas
Published: July 2024

The digital age has ushered in unprecedented connectivity and convenience, but it has also given rise to escalating cyber threats and privacy concerns. This study examines the intricate balance between technological advancement and personal privacy in the face of evolving cyber risks. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, analyzing peer-reviewed articles, government reports, and industry white papers from the past decade. Additionally, case studies of major data breaches and privacy violations were examined. Surveys and interviews with cybersecurity experts, policymakers, and privacy advocates were conducted to gather diverse perspectives. The research reveals a significant increase in both the frequency and sophistication of cyber-attacks, coupled with a growing public awareness of privacy issues. However, there is a notable disconnect between individuals' stated privacy concerns and their online behaviors. Regulatory efforts to protect privacy often lag behind technological advancements and cyber threats. Maintaining equilibrium between technological progress and privacy protection requires a multifaceted approach involving enhanced cybersecurity measures, updated regulations, and improved digital literacy. The study underscores the need for ongoing collaboration between government, industry, and academia to address this complex challenge.
Decentralized Finance: US Federal Reserve Assets Tokenization
Authors: Koudou Ulysses
Published: July 2024

Digitalization has fundamentally changed the global economy and will continue to do so. This study investigates how the US Federal Reserve and US Treasury may work together to use decentralized finance (DeFi) systems to promote economic growth in local communities. The study looks into the potential for transformation and the difficulties in incorporating DeFi into conventional financial institutions. Research shows that the use of cash as a means of payment is widely expected to decline in the future. As a result, the public’s ability to make transactions using central bank money may decline rapidly. This study's goals are to solve economic issues, promote innovation, and increase financial efficiency. The use of in-depth interviews, theme analysis, case studies, stakeholder perspectives, comparative analysis, and document analysis is suggested as part of a qualitative research methodology. The goal of these approaches is to offer a sophisticated comprehension of the dynamics of collaboration and the consequences of DeFi integration in the context of the Federal Reserve-Treasury relationship. Important data sources that are necessary to answer the research question are indicated, such as US Treasury statistics, Federal Reserve publications, DeFi platforms, and International Monetary Fund economic indicators. Informed decision-making and policy formation may pave the way for a more inclusive and efficient financial ecosystem, which will eventually drive regional economic growth in the United States and promote monetary sovereignty for the aforementioned monetary entities. This can be achieved by investigating creative collaboration tactics between the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury.

Published: July 2024

The UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Journal House Information System encounters significant usability challenges stemming from inadequate UI/UX design and sub-optimal integration across its components, resulting in diminished user efficiency and adoption rates. To tackle these issues effectively, a bespoke acquisition approach coupled with prototype development was implemented. This method facilitated a structured software development life cycle emphasizing iterative feedback loops and active stakeholder participation. By iteratively refining requirements and ensuring continuous alignment with user expectations, the prototype development process aimed to deliver a final system that not only meets but exceeds user needs. Rigorous testing, ongoing support, and a commitment to continuous improvement were pivotal in transforming the initial prototype into a robust and user-friendly system. This approach not only promises to enhance overall system effectiveness but also ensures sustained value delivery to stakeholders over the system's lifecycle.
A Novel Method for Online Diagnosis of Aging State of High-voltage (HV) Cables Based on Impedance Spectroscopy
Authors: Wang Yuli , Ouyang Benhong , Wang Ge , Wang Anzhe , Yuan Jianjun
Published: July 2024

In order to serve the online monitoring of the aging state of high-voltage (HV) cables, a novel method based on impedance spectroscopy has been proposed. Firstly, the method uses the Debye model to restore the dielectric response of the insulating material from the mechanism. Secondly, based on the transmission line equation, a calculation model for the impedance spectroscopy of HV cables was established. Then, the characteristics of the impedance spectroscopy under different overall aging and local deterioration states were analyzed. Further, the simulation analysis of the influence of factors such as load factor, length, metal resistivity, and geometric parameters on the impedance spectroscopy was carried out. Finally, diagnostic criteria were proposed, which are divided into two major categories: known cable parameters and unknown cable parameters. If the geometric parameters are known, the aging state can be determined using the resonance peak values and the resonance peak frequencies. If the geometric parameters are unknown, it is necessary to test the impedance spectroscopy in the healthy condition of the cable as the baseline curve. By comparing the impedance spectroscopy of the cable under test with the baseline curve, the aging development trend of the cable can also be determined.
Exploring the Potential Influence of Human Gut Microbiota on Gut Resistome: A Systematic Review
Authors: Fri Justine , Raphalalani Mulalo , Mavhandu-Ramarumo Lufuno Grace , Bessong Pascal Obong
Published: July 2024

Antibiotic resistance is a global health problem. The human gut microbiome is implicated in the dynamics of antibiotic resistance acquisition and transmission, with the gut microbiota thought to play a crucial role. This study aimed to determine the potential influence of human gut bacteria microbiota on the gut resistome and the relationship between gut background microbiota and Escherichia coli resistome. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines was used to systematically review studies that characterised gut microbiota and resistome using metagenomic analysis and/or those that reported gut E. coli resistome in healthy individuals. Changes in the diversity and abundance of bacterial gut microbiota and the resistome across different groups and the microbiota composition of the gut harbouring antibiotic-resistant E. coli were summarised. Findings suggest that lower bacterial microbiota diversity is likely associated with an increased abundance of the overall gut resistome. Age-related differences were observed, with younger infants exhibiting lower microbiota diversity and higher ARG abundance compared to older infants and adults. Studies that reported correlation revealed positive correlations between the compositional relative abundance of Proteobacteria and ARGs abundance, mainly driven by members within the Enterobacteriaceae family, particularly E. coli. This study also revealed that human gut microbiome studies that investigate gut resistome using metagenomic sequencing approaches in apparently healthy individuals are at least uncommon.
The Dipole-Radiation Interaction Revisited
Authors: Szeftel Jacob , Lévy Jean-Claude
Published: July 2024

The phenomena of light absorption, fluorescence and laser emission are accounted for within a unique picture. The atomic dipole is dealt with in a quantum framework, whereas the electromagnetic field is assumed to be a classical sine-wave. The on and off resonance cases are investigated. This is achieved owing to a novel application of Poynting's theorem. Observable predictions are made, regarding absorption of the electromagnetic energy and the frequency bandwidth of light emitted either by fluorescence or laser effect.

Objective. To determine the clinical and epidemiologic features of the course of enterovirus infection (EVI) in Krasnodar Krai. Patients and methods. We analyzed the case histories of children who were treated in the State Budgetary Institution "SKDIB" of Krasnodar from January 2020 to November 2023. For the period from 01.01.2020 to 30.06.2022, out of 1560 patients with suspected acute infectious pathology, EVI was detected in 98 children, of whom boys accounted for 59.2% (n = 58), girls – 40.8% (n = 40). After removal of restrictions on new coronavirus infection from 01.07.2022 to November 2023, EVI was detected in 366 out of 2607 examined patients, of which boys accounted for 55.3% (n = 202), girls – 44.7% (n = 164). Most children (231, 63.1%) came from organized groups. In all forms of EVI, nasopharyngeal swabs, feces, and vesicle contents were examined by polymerase chain reaction; enterovirus RNA was detected in all patients. Molecular typing of enteroviruses was performed in the Federal Budgetary Institution "Center of Hygiene and Epidemiology in Krasnodar Krai". Results. It was revealed that exanthem and neurological forms prevailed during the given periods of observation.Of neurological lesions of EVI, enteroviral meningitis remains the leading form, which as an independent form occurred in 66.9% of cases, in combination with herpangina, exanthema, diarrhea – in 33.1%. The incidence rate of enteroviral meningitis for the period from 07.2022 to 11.2023 is 36.6%, the proportion of encephalitis increased to 2.7%. In the age structure of EVI cases for the period from 01.2020 to 06.2022, the main share was children aged 1 to 3 years old (42, 41.1%), for the period 07.2022–11.2023 – children from 4 to 6 years old (219, 59.9%). Conclusion. All age groups of children were involved in the epidemic process, but children aged 1 to 3 years (45.9%) and 7 to 14 years (22.4%) were sick more often, with the highest number of cases registered in preschool and school educational organizations. The greatest risk of developing severe forms of EVI is observed in children from risk groups. In recent years, there are still risks of epidemic rise in the incidence of exanthem and minor forms of EVI associated with the spread of Coxsackie A6, A16 and other viruses of the Coxsackie A and B species, the probability of spread of enterovirus A71 and possible resumption of circulation of EUNO 30 virus cannot be excluded. Key words: children, enterovirus infection, enteroviral exanthema, enteroviral meningitis, clinic

Signal power distributions for simulated outdoor sound propagation in varying refractive conditions
Authors: Wilson D. , Pettit Chris , Ostashev Vladimir , Kamrath Matthew
Published: July 2024

Probability distributions of acoustic signals propagating through the near-ground atmosphere are simulated by the parabolic equation method. The simulations involve propagation at four angles relative to the mean wind, with frequencies of 100, 200, 400, and 800 Hz. The environmental representation includes realistic atmospheric refractive profiles, turbulence, and ground interactions; cases are considered with and without parametric uncertainties in the wind velocity and surface heat flux. The simulated signals are found to span a broad range of scintillation indices, from near zero to exceeding ten. In the absence of uncertainties, the signal power (or intensity) is fit well by a two-parameter gamma distribution, regardless of the frequency and refractive conditions. When the uncertainties are included, three-parameter distributions, namely, the compound gamma or generalized gamma, are needed for a good fit to the simulation data. The compound gamma distribution appears preferable because its parameters have a straight forward interpretation related to the saturation and modulation of the signal by uncertainties.
Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Microanalysis – as a Method for Study the Aluminium-Polysilicon Interface after Exposure with Long-Term and Rapid Thermal Annealing
Authors: Pilipenko U. A. , Kovalchuk N. S. , Shestovski D. V. , Zhyhulin D. V.
Published: July 2024

Energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis is one of the main methods for determining the elemental composition of matter. Possessing high locality and a relatively shallow penetration depth of the electron beam (< 1 μm), this method has found wide application in the field of microelectronics, as the main method for analyzing the elemental composition of matter. The method allows to study the surface of a substance both pointwise and over an area with the construction of element distribution maps. In the paper we investigated the influence of long-term and rapid heat treatments on the formation of the aluminum-polysilicon interface in order to study the formation of ohmic contacts in the element base of integrated circuits. The aluminumpolysilicon interface was studied using energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis. It has been established that during long-term thermal annealing (450 °C, 20 min) polysilicon is completely dissolved in aluminum followed by its segregation in the form of separate agglomerates in the aluminum film, which can lead to a complete failure of the integrated circuit. During rapid thermal annealing (450 °C, 7 s) such a phenomenon was not detected. Thus it is advisable to use rapid thermal annealing as an alternative to traditional long-term thermal annealing in microelectronics. This makes it possible to significantly reduce the dissolution of polysilicon in aluminum, avoid the destruction of ohmic contacts and increase the percentage of yield of workable 0products in the process of integrated circuits' manufacturing.

Published: July 2024

Accurate and reliable measurements of the total solar radiation flux make it possible to evaluate the efficiency of using stand-alone photovaltaic systems in various meteorological conditions. These measurements allow more accurately predict in time the energy production volume, accumulator and capacitive storage devices parameters and the payback period. Research purpose was to study the possibility of creating a photoelectric sensor and a method of uninterrupted measurement based on this sensor which allows to measure total solar radiation flux including its direct, diffused and reflected components simultaneously. The photovaltaic sensor with bifacial photosensitivity was manufactured and applied, which is low-inertia comparing to traditional thermoelectric pyranometers, and its spectral sensitivity is quite close to the same parameter of photovoltaic power supply system. It creates the possibility to estimate the insolation level capable to be completely converted into electrical energy without an ineffective heat-generating long-wavelength part of the solar spectrum. A laboratory measuring stand was made to test the sensor's operability. Modeling and experiments’ the sensor parameters were carried out and confirmed its operability. The bifacial photosensitivity sensor allows to control simultaneously direct, diffused and reflected from the earth's surface components of solar radiation, what gives more complete information about the energy potential of the photovoltaic power supply system location.
The Struggle against Idealism in Quantum Chemistry in the USSR and Discussions of XXI Century

At the end of the last century and at the beginning of this century, a number of historical and methodological papers was published on the ideological and political campaigns that took place in the USSR in the late 1940s and early 1950s. This article continues this historical and scientific line. It examines an ideological attack on one of the early quantum chemical theories, the theory of resonance, which took place in Soviet science in the 1949–1951’s (more broadly, the expression “antiresonance campaign” can be rewritten as follows: “a campaign to fight against idealism in quantum chemistry” or “the struggle for ideological correctness of Soviet quantum chemistry”), provides an overview of the literature on the history of criticism of chemical and physical theories in the course of these ideological and political campaigns and highlights two ideological dominants of these campaigns: the struggle against physical idealism and the struggle against so-called cosmopolitanism. It is noted that the anti-resonance campaign followed other ideological, or better to say ideological-political, events conducted by the leadership of the Soviet Union. The campaign is also interesting as a cultural phenomenon of the late Stalinist era with its bizarre symbiosis of scientific, rational and mystical values. It allows us to better understand the situation in Soviet natural science, which used ideological rhetoric and nevertheless retained creative potencies, as well as why quantum chemistry, which included the theory of resonance, was not defeated like genetics, why it, having lost pace of development, was preserved as a scientific area.
Philosophy of Microeconomics: Key Trends in the 21st Century
Authors: Rozanova Nadezhda ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: July 2024

The article analyzes the current key philosophical trends in academic publications on microeconomics. The author investigates new sense that economists imply into traditional methodological grounds of Microeconomics. Based on classical marginalist microeconomic theory, contemporary Russian and World economists introduce new meanings and new interpretations into such important aspects of Microeconomics as microeconomic agents, choice and limitations for producers and consumers, market interactions and competition, time and space of microeconomic phenomena. New methodological grounds of Microeconomics in the sphere of decision-making are analysed on the ground of content-analysis. The process of economic choice in new conditions of the 21st century is based on deliberate consumption of economic goods and thoughtful limitations for time, place and number of alternatives when decision is made. Maximization of utility as the goal of behavior of a rational individual is replaced by the criterion of satisfaction and happiness which now form important elements of microeconomic analysis. New approaches to microeconomic models are formed on the ground of mathematical theories of dynamic chaos and nonlinear processes that allow to forecast more precisely microeconomic events in the era of turbulence. Stochastic concepts and differentiated games take the place of traditional statistical strict determinism of microeconomic theories and uncertainty acquires new depth as a fundamental pattern of functioning of microeconomic processes. The article specifies the motives and goals of individual and collective agents acting at micro level. Thus microeconomics of the 21st century has reconsidered its key philosophical grounds, which would contribute to a new paradigm of Microeconomic Analysis.
There Are No Atheists among Greatest Philosophers: Reasonings about Experience, Knowledge and Faith in the Letters of N.O. Lossky to G.V. Florovsky (1947–1955). Letters of N.O. Lossky to G.V. Florovsky (1947–1955), Publication and Notes by Elena V. Serdyukova

In 1946, Nikolai Onufrievich Lossky moved from France to his younger son Andrey who lived in the United States, where Lossky taught at the St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary for several years. His correspondence with G.V. Florovsky continued, and, as before, they are connected by their friendship, teaching activities, and, most importantly, their scientific and philosophical interests. “Is it true that Russian philosophy is not scientific?” This question became crucial for N.O. Lossky during the “overseas” period of his life and work (1947–1955). His letters sent to G.V. Florovsky from New Haven, New York, and Los Angeles testify to his interest in the concrete metaphysical foundations of holistic (intuitive) worldview, within which faith and knowledge find their indispensable places. Lossky discusses in his letters Florovsky’s upcoming move to America and the organization of teaching philosophical disciplines at the St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary. Furthermore, he draws Florovsky’s attention to how scientists of that time (A. Eddington, B. Bavinck, D. Jeans, M. Planck, P. Leconte du Nouy, and others) try to answer the question of the relationship between natural sciences (physics, biology, etc.) and the transcendental foundations of religious experience. In addition to this, Lossky is interested in Étienne Gilson’s “History of Medieval Philosophy” (which describes specific intellectual attempts to “reconcile” faith and knowledge) and the epistemological experience of Russian Freemasonry presented in G.V. Vernadsky’s book. And, of course, a special place in Lossky’s letters is devoted to the preparation of the book “History of Russian Philosophy” for publication in New York as part of the works series of the St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary.
Enhancing Students’ Ability in Composing a Well-Developed Paragraph through Social Constructive Learning Facilitated by Peer-Assessment

A social constructive learning refers to a context used to build a collaborative learning atmosphere to have in-depth learning by empowering students’ performances and progress cooperatively. It is needed to upgrade students’ proficiency in delivering an idea through a written expression. Therefore, the students can build up their writing ability constructively. This is a descriptive qualitative study that is used to explore a meaningful learning experience in a paragraph writing class using peer-assessment. This research involved 23 students at the second semester of the English department of State Islamic Study of Ponorogo. The data were gathered from a performance test of all the participants, supported by the data derived from interviews, and documentation was also conducted to support the data of the students’ ability in writing. The data were analyzed interactively through (1) data reduction; (2) data display; and (3) conclusion. The results of the study showed that the students were triggered to rearrange their writing confidently because their peers showed their weaknesses and gave suggestions on their mistakes. It boosted the students to write better, so that, the students could produce the expected paragraph writing outcome after they were actively upgrading performances in writing through ongoing learning. Hence, the students were directed to elaborate their writing ability through interactive, constructive, and reflective activities. This paper was aimed at describing the implementation of social constructive learning in a paragraph writing class mediated by the use of peer-assessment. The implication of this study is to promote the students to learn paragraph writing faster since this learning triggered the students have experiences in learning together by checking, sharing, solving, and formulating a solution.
Decreased cloud cover partially offsets the cooling effects of surface albedo change due to deforestation
Authors: Luo Hao , Quaas Johannes , Han Yong
Published: July 2024

Biophysical processes of forests affect climate through the regulation of surface water and heat fluxes, which leads to further effects through the adjustment of clouds and water cycles. These indirect biophysical effects of forests on clouds and their radiative forcing are poorly understood but highly relevant in the context of large-scale deforestation or afforestation, respectively. Here, we provide evidence for local decreases in global low-level clouds and tropical high-level clouds from deforestation through both idealized deforestation simulations with climate models and from observations-driven reanalysis using space-for-time substitution. The decreased cloud cover can be explained by alterations in surface turbulent heat flux, which diminishes uplift and moisture to varying extents. Deforestation-induced reduction in cloud cover warms the climate, partially counteracting the cooling effects of increased surface albedo. The findings from idealized deforestation experiments and space-for-time substitution exhibit disparities, with global average offsets of, respectively, approximately 44% and 26%, suggesting the necessity for further constraints.

We aimed to evaluate the primary stability of pterygoid implants as comparing two different implant design in fresh frozen human cadavers using the resonance frequency analysis (RFA) method. Tapered and parallel implant types (NobelActive® and NobelParallel™, Nobel Biocare, Gothenburg, Sweden) were placed on the right and left sides of maxilla of 10 fresh human cadavers. Using Osstell® Mentor III and SmartPegs (Integration Diagnostics, Göteborg, Sweden), the resonance frequency measurements were made immediately after the implant placement. The two different macro-design types of implants were compared in terms of ISQ values, it was observed that there was no statistically significant difference between each macro designs. In conclusion, our study showed that the pterygoid implant was ideal for biomechanical stability scenario in managing the edentuluos solutions of posterior maxilla with dental implants.
