Effect of mPCMs on the properties of whisker-reinforced PG-based composites
Authors: Wang Jingdong , Liu Peng , Kong Dewen , Li Yuan , Yang Yaxin , Wang Yongfa , Chen Mingsheng , Yang Shuangying
Published: December 2023

Phase-change energy-storage building materials prepared by applying phase-change materials (PCMs) to building materials have the advantages of both common building materials and PCMs. The composites can help regulate the indoor temperature, while the introduction of phase-change microcapsule (mPCM) technology can make up for the shortcomings of traditional PCMs. Therefore, in this study, two different mPCMs were blended into whisker-reinforced β-hemihydrate phosphogypsum (β-HPG)-based composites to prepare a new lightweight thermal insulation and energy-storage building material, which improves the thermal performance of the building material while improving the utilization rate of phosphogypsum to a certain extent. In this study, the mechanical, thermal conductivity and energy-storage properties of the new building material were investigated through performance tests and compared with those of β-HPG-based composites without doped PCMs, The results showed that both PCMs could improve the mechanical strength of the materials. The incorporation of mPCMs increased the thermal conductivity and decreased the water absorption of the composites. In addition, the thermogravimetric–differential scanning calorimetry analysis showed that the addition of mPCMs improved the thermal storage properties of the composites, and the two mPCMs and their composites have good thermal stability and can be used in construction materials.
Geopolitical Turmoil and G7 Renewable Electricity Production: Impacts of the Russian-Ukrainian Conflict
Authors:   Freelance Researcher, KABADAYI Burhan
Published: December 2023

This paper scrutinizes the transformation in the electricity production structures of G7 nations in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The inquiry centers on discerning shifts in the trajectory of energy production, particularly toward more sustainable and secure sources. With the imposition of economic sanctions against the Russian economy, an anticipatory transition from combustible fuels to renewable energy sources within G7 countries is envisaged. An empirical investigation is conducted utilizing panel data analysis of energy data across the G7. First and second-generation unit root tests have been used. Cointegration tests and the Vector Error Correction Model have been applied to see short-term and long-term relationships between renewable energy-sourced electricity production and combustible energy-sourced electricity production. Additionally, predictive modeling, employing SARIMA and Machine Learning model (Prophet) with Python, is employed to forecast future trends in energy production. This comprehensive analysis sheds light on the profound impact of geopolitical events on the energy landscape of influential global economies. The results of the econometrics and predictive models show that there is a significant effect of Russia-Ukrainian conflicts on electricity production in favor of more secure and clean energy. This trend change in renewable energy-sourced electricity production should fortify more regulatory aspects.
ONTOLOGY, DECISION-MAKING, AND VALUES, OR SEVERAL «PHILOSOPHICAL» REMINISCENCES
Authors:   Chelyabinsk State University, Shreiber Viktor K.
Published: December 2023

The paper continues a series of the author’s publications on relationships between philosophy and Welt-anschauung. Its subject is the mechanisms of interaction between ontological attitudes and values in deci-sion-making. It is assumed that philosophy has always, one way or another, strived for their comprehen-sion, and it was the increasing cultural significance of these efforts that contributed to the separation of ontology from the general metaphysical field. The article begins with an analysis of the concept of exist-ence and an explication of the evolutionary premises of situations where the need for decision-making arises. The author refers to the concept of a self-organizing system, the role of informationblocks and the place of selection and choice in its reproduction. Selection is based on predetermined criteria, while choice, with its greater or lesser certainty of the options, on the contrary, implies variability of the agent’s aspirations. In the mainpart of the article, the author introduces the idea of a decision scheme as a model that combines the dynamic and spatial aspects of this phenomenon; relations between being, possibility, and goals are explored. Special attention is given to the importance of spiritual values for the formation of goals and to the cognitive similarity between ontology and the picture of the world as a component of the worldview. Since values exist, the restructuring of metaphysics demanded clarification of the functions of values in decisions. The last section, based on the controversy of Locke and Leibniz over justice, shows that the law of sufficient reason was an epistemic prerequisite for the formation of axiology as a special area of philosophizing. All the material considered makes it possible to present the relationship between the picture of the world and values as the basis of the goal-setting.
REALISTIC CAPACITY OF M. GABRIEL’S «NEUTRAL REALISM»
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Kudba Vladislav N.
Published: December 2023

The article concerns Markus Gabriel’s philosophical conception —ontology and main thesesof so-called «neutral realism», while questioning the most significant arguments of the German philosopher and considering a few other positions that it has parallels with. For instance, with Frege’s conception of meaning, in which the notion of sense plays an important role, being one of the elements of the so-called «semantic triangle». Or with the notion of sense in post-structuralism, particularly in works by Derrida, who as-sumed sense as the horizon of the world, yet rejected any reality beyond it. Among others, G.Harman’s object-oriented philosophy and L.Bryant’s flat ontology appear to be to some extent relevant for compar-ing them with «neutral realism»: realism as a crucial point and anti-hierarchy of ontology seem to be a common place for each ofthem; however, the definition of reality and existence in each conception dif-fers essentially. Giving a brief overview of conceptual solutions supposed to label Gabriel’s philosophy as «new realism», the paper provides analysis of the notion of the «fieldof sense», as well as several on-tological principles of the aforementioned conception: neutrality, univocality of being, and anti-essentialism. A polemic interest is drawn by the problematic understanding of existence in Gabriel’s on-tology. There can alsobe seen a problem with reaching positive results of Gabriel’s realistic program, which is eventually supposed to give some sort of knowledge and explanation of what is real. The paper ends with some critical arguments (for instance, concerning an ambiguity of Gabriel’s ontology, in which the pluralistic and unifying strategies of defining any beings tend to intertwine with one another), thus calling into question the initial realistic tasks of Gabriel’s philosophical project.
ON THE POSSIBILITY OF A RATIONAL CONCEPT OF ABSOLUTE NON-BEING
Authors:   Kazan National Research Technological University, Sverguzov Anver T.
Published: December 2023

The subject of research is the problem of non-existence, or rather absolute nothingness. This is one of the central ontological problems as it is, in essence, one of the formulations of the first principle problem.This paper directly addresses the problem of nothingness from the perspective of the approach that identi-fies itself as a «philosophy of nothingness». According to this approach, substance is claimed to be abso-lute nothingness, which gives rise to existence. Currently, there can be distinguished three varieties in the «philosophy of nothingness»: rationalistic (dialectical), irrational (metaphysical), and radical (absolute, total). The immediate objective of this study is to analyze the possibility of identifying absolute nothing-ness by rational means. This possibility is declared by a rationalist version of the «philosophy of nothing-ness». The problem is considered in the paper from the point of view of dialectical methodology, which is also used in rationalist «philosophy of nothingness». The study shows the difficulty of substantializationof nothingness. The author provides arguments for the impossibility of a consistent rational concept of absolute nothingness. It is concluded that the problem of the relationship between existence and non-existence can be rationally solved only through consistent dialectical methodology. This methodology denies substantialist obscurity and implies a substantialist dialectical relationship between being and noth-ingness as the essential characteristics of the first principle. A positive value of the «philosophy of noth-ingness» is that draws attention to the ontological study of the first principle, makes it possible to look beyond the traditional understanding of this problem. The study results can be helpful in the search for a universally accepted ontological definition of matter.
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE AS A FACTOR SHAPING ATTITUDES TOWARDS DISABILITY IN THE WORKPLACE
Authors:   Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin, Li Zijun
Published: December 2023

The issues of disability inclusion represent a challenge to managers and experts. Attitudes towards disa-bility influence the effectiveness of disability inclusion. In Russia, even though a social model of disabil-ity has been promoted and people are willing to assist persons with disabilities, attitudes towards such employees tend to be ambiguous. These attitudes are highly associated with the perception of the disabled as incapable of work, with the feeling of charity and also distrust. It appears necessary to ease negative at-titudes, especiallyin the workplaces. This paper considers individual cultural intelligence as a factor in-fluencing attitudes towards disability. 122 employees from Russian organizations participated in a survey and filled in the standard Cultural Intelligence Scale, the Disability Attitude Implicit Association Test, and the Attitudes to Physical Disability Scale. The study confirmed that cultural intelligence significantly affects attitudes towards employees with disabilities. Individuals with higher cultural intelligence show more positive attitudes towards the disabled. On the one hand, this suggests that cultural intelligence can be used as a new tool to regulate attitudes towards people with disabilities and ensure effective coopera-tion between disabled and non-disabled employees. On the other hand, this also inspires a wide range of possible applications of cultural intelligence.

Authors:   Kazan Innovative University named after V.G.Timiryasov, Pilyugina Elena R. , Suleimanov Ramil F. ,   Kazan Innovative University named after V.G.Timiryasov
Published: December 2023

The study reveals the relationship between different levels of personal properties —psychophysiological (properties of the nervous system) and behavioral (defense mechanisms). The study was conducted on the basis of the socio-psychological center «Opora»in Kazan and Kazan Innovative University named after V.G.Timiryasov. The study sample consisted of 76 subjects, including 52 women and 24 men aged 16 to 75. The subjects underwent examination of psychophysiological parameters on the AK-9 «Activatiome-ter»device and were tested according to the Method for measuring the psychological defense. Theresults were processed using the SPSS Statistic 23 software; Spearman’s test was used to identify correlations. We have revealed correlations as follows: between a strong nervous system and isolation, projection, om-nipotent control; between a weak nervoussystem and the defense mechanisms of the psychotic group —dissociation, repression, hypochondria as well as passive aggression and altruism; between a balanced nervous system and the defense mechanisms of the adaptive group —suppression and sublimation;be-tween the predominance of excitability and projection as well as omnipotent control; between the pre-dominance of inhibition and isolation, rationalization, avoidance, anticipation; high lability of a nervous system is associated with the defense mechanisms of the adaptive group —sublimation and humor as well as dissociation and denial; low lability of a nervous system is related to projection and omnipotent control. It is advisable to use the identified relationships in the work of psychologists, teachers, and other workers in helping professions in order to simplify the identification of personality traits; knowing the traits, it is possible to predict the use of defense mechanisms based on the psychophysiological parame-ters of the personality, as well as to get a more holistic view of the personality.
FOREIGN STUDIES OF INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION: METHODOLOGICAL PROBLEMS, THEMATIC TRENDS
Authors: Borodkin Maksim A. , Vnutskih Alexander Yu. ,   Perm State University
Published: December 2023

International migration is a large-scale social problem, its complexity and relevance has been increasing in recent years, which necessitates research on the main trends and social processes related to migration flows. The purpose of this article is an analytical review of modern foreign studies on international migration, which are mostly unknown to the Russian reader. The authors consider the methodological problems of in-ternational migration studies and the main directions ofmigration research by foreign specialists. The results of the analysis demonstrate that migration processes are being significantly transformed under the influence of global and regional challenges. In terms of methodology of migration studies, the neo-institutional ap-proach is gaining more and more influence as one of the most promising theoretical and methodological ap-proaches that can influence the construction of a holistic concept of international migration. Such categories as «institutions», «practices», and «structures»make it possible to cover a wide range of variables that are significant for external migration. Among the key areas of migration research, one should note changes in the scale and structure of migration, including gender aspects; theemergence of new barriers in the field of migration, including in connection with the global COVID-19 pandemic; institutional changes in the migra-tion management system. In addition, foreign studies focus on issues such as the problem of security and democracy in the context of international migration, regulation of migration processes, modern migration policy and regimes. In conclusion, it is noted that the issue of migration processes is in constant dynamics, which determines and permanently updates the agenda for research in the field of international migration.
LIGHT AND SHADOWS OF DIGITAL REALITY: FROM THE EDITORS
Authors:   Perm State University, Vnutskikh Alexander Yu.
Published: December 2023

The paper establishes the relationship between the concepts of information technologies, artificial intelli-gence, and digitalization. The author suggests that digitalization is an inevitable possibility of social de-velopment because it is deeply rooted in the development of material production and also because it is perceived as the public good and a key factor of competitiveness in all contemporary worldviews, including alternative ones. At the same time, people are increasingly faced with the growing insecurity of their existence due to rapid digitalization within the existing social institutions. We can only hope that the implementation of the digitalization trend can take different forms. This trend requires serious study and an awareness of the relevant alternatives developed during scientific debate.
GILBERT SIMONDON AND EVALD ILYENKOV ON HUMANISM AND TECHNOCRACY
Authors:   HSE University, Timashov Konstantin N.
Published: December 2023

G.Simondon (1924–1989) and E.V.Ilyenkov (1924–1979) are outstanding philosophers of the second half of the 20th century, who searched for answers to the questions that the development of modern tech-nology posed to the mankind. These thinkers belonged to different philosophical traditions, but their ap-proaches converge in a number of significant points. They brought to the fore the sociocultural aspects of the integration of technology at the time when cybernetics attracted general attention as a methodology and was assigned a significant role in the progress of science and technology, both in France and in the USSR. This article aims to identify the common and the different in the criticism by Simondon and Ilyen-kov of some essential aspects of technical civilization and in their proposed solutions to a number of problems that arise in the course of its development at the present stage. An analysis and comparison of texts written by the philosophers in the 1950s–1960s showed that both of them state the presenceof dis-harmony in the relationship between culture and technology, the emergence of which they associate with the spread of the technocratic approach to technology and man and the mythology associated with it. Both authors stand on humanistic positions andconsider it necessary to eliminate the myths of technocracy in order to prevent the transformation of technology into a tool for the enslavement of man. However, their approaches differ significantly in their attitude to technology: Simondon fundamentallyrefuses to consid-er technology only as a means and endows it with certain autonomy, while Ilyenkov considers it primarily a means of achieving goals that a society formulates for itself as an ideal. For this reason, the Soviet phi-losopher insists on the need to eliminate all social, economic, and political obstacles to the creation of conditions for the complete liberation and comprehensive development of man, while Simondon high-lights the task of integrating technology into culture through cognizing it and identifying its immanent laws of development.
A PHILOSOPHER’S ANXIOUS REFLECTIONS ON MODERN SOCIAL LIFE AND SOME PROBLEMS OF EDUCATION IN THE ERA OF TOTAL DIGITALIZATION
Authors:   Perm State University, Musayelyan Lyeva A.
Published: December 2023

Russia is currently facing global challenges and threats. At the turning points in history, youth is the country’s main mobilization resource. The potential of this resource depends on the effectiveness of the existing educational system. The digitalization of public life is one of the important modern trends and it affects, among other spheres, the system of education. The article shows that digitalization dictates changes in the nature of relations at all levels of social institutions. This concerns the relationship be-tween the authorities and the people, the information policy of the state. Digitalization has changed the re-lations between the subjects of the educational process, has complicated the work of the teacher, in-creased his professional and civic responsibility to society. The author does not share the euphoria about the possibilities of using digital technologies in education. Their large-scale application in human-centered disciplines is counterproductive. Today, more than ever, of particular importance is the question about the purpose of the teacher’s educational activity. The answer to this question is provided by the paradigm underlying the educational process. The concept of education is determined by the state ideolo-gy of the country. However, there is no state ideology in Russia. According to the author, Russia needs a clearly defined state ideology that would express the national interests of the country as well as provide new life-meaning values and social ideals that are attractive to young people and should be reflected in the educational process.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE USE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES: A REVIEW OF MODERN RESEARCH
Authors:   Perm State University, Ignatova Ekaterina S.
Published: December 2023

In the current social situation, there is concern about the nature of the impact of digitalization on the emo-tional sphere of the individual, which is insufficiently studied in psychological science. The article provides an overview devoted to the problem of the relationship between emotional intelligence and the use of digital technologies. It aims to summarize the results of modern studies on this relationship. To achieve this aim, 35 full-text versions of articles describing the relationship between emotional intelligence and the use of digital technologies published in 2018–2023 were analyzed, of which 15 were written by Russian and 20 —by foreign authors. The results of the conducted research were analyzed based on the cultural and historical ap-proach. The author identifies branches of psychology that deal with the relationship between emotional in-telligence and the use of digital technologies as a research problem: educational psychology, cyberpsychol-ogy, health psychology, and psychotherapy. The analysis of the results of the study confirmed the existence of a relationship between emotional intelligence and the use of digital technologies. The latter contributes to the development of the former. The transfer of the negative impact of digital technologies on the develop-ment of emotional intelligence in children and adolescents has not received full empirical confirmation. The study established the role of emotional communication with parents when children and parents view digital content together. Emotional intelligence promotes productive interaction on online platforms. The connec-tion between emotional intelligence and video games is negative. There are different strategies for using in-formation and communication technologies to regulate emotions: positive and negative. The study con-firmed the perception of remote interaction with a psychotherapist as empathic. The discussion section of the article attempts to summarize the main aspects of the relationship between emotional intelligence andthe use of digital technologies, and describes the limitations of the review undertaken. The study concludes that the relationship between emotional intelligence and the use of digital technologies is ambiguous in na-ture. It is positive in the process of learning, communication, managing emotions, and building therapeutic relationships. The negative nature of the relationship is manifested in the course of interaction with digital content and during gaming activities. The results obtained can be used in the relevant branches of psychological science and in psychological practice.
FICTIONALISM, INDISPENSABILITY, CICADAS: A FICTIONALIST APPROACH TO THE (IN)DISPENSABILITY OF MATHEMATICS AND THE ONTOLOGICAL STATUS OF ABSTRACT OBJECTS
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Burian Veronika V. , Cherkasov George V. ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: December 2023

The paper deals with fictionalism in the philosophy of mathematics, namely, the claim that we can use mathematical theories and, at the same time, believe that they are false because mathematical objects do not exist. Mathematical objects (numbers, sets, and functions) are non-spatiotemporal, nor mental platon-ic entities that are causally isolated from us. This raises two questions. The first is known as Benacerraf’s problem: how can we think of the truth of mathematical propositions? The second is the problem of ap-plicability of mathematics. It becomes a problematic field for nominalists who refuse to rationally believe in the existence of such entities. Namely, if one believes that mathematical objects do not exist, why does mathematics-based empirical science work? As a response to this question, the well-known and widely discussed «indispensability argument»emerges, postulating ontological commitments to mathematical objects on the basis that they are indispensable to our best scientific theories. According to this argument, realists about science must also accept Platonism about mathematical entities. Hartry Field disproves this argument and demonstrates the dispensability of mathematics by proposing his «science without num-bers». Field replaces the criterion of truth with the criterion of conservatism and argues that the applica-bility of mathematics should be explained by whether a particular theory is conservative or not. We then consider the «enhanced»indispensability argument (Baker) based on the explanatory role of mathematics. In the final section, we describe the «new»fictionalist account (Balaguer). The new fictionalist strategies allow us to accept the ontological thesis of nominalism without assertingthe indispensability of mathe-matics. We agree that the explanatory power of mathematics is an argument in favor of the indispensable role of mathematical objects in the natural sciences. Nevertheless, the appeal to indispensability is mis-guided. We do nothave to rationally believe in the existence of those entities that are indispensable to science. We can rather consider these entities as useful (in explanation) heuristic fictions and, at the same time, believe that they do not exist and that mathematical propositions are false.

The Image of Russia and Russians: Features of Perception Youth of Russia and Zambia
Authors: Kyshtymova Irina , Esanju Seyuba
Published: December 2023

The importance of the study of Africans' perception of Russia is determined by the weak knowledge of the image of the state in African countries in the context of modern dynamics of international relations as well as by the need to determine the determinants of the formation of ideas about the country and gaps in the image-creating information policy. The results of the study of the peculiarities of perception of the image of Russia by Zambian and Russian youth are described. Two groups of participants took part in the study: 150 Zambian citizens and 100 Russians. Using specialized variants of the semantic differential, they evaluated the concepts "Russia", "Zambia", "America" and "Great Britain", as well as "Russian", "Zambian", "American" and "British". The data were subjected to statistical procedures of factor analysis and comparison of group values. It is revealed that the external and internal image of Russia differ in the idea of "authority": Africans endow "Russia" with higher values according to this criterion. The image of a "Russian" is characterized by high values of "heroism" and low values of "optimism" according to the assessment of both groups. The differences in the image assessment of the compared states are explained by the peculiarities of the information broadcast by the mass media.
Portfolio Planning: a Comprehensive Approach to Limited Resources and Project Prioritization
Authors: Baganov Valery
Published: December 2023

The main issue for portfolio managers is to set a realistic schedule that ensures that the resources needed for operations are readily available on deadline dates, which is the classic goal of the Resource-Constrained Multi-Project scheduling problem (RCMPSP). This article presents an algorithm that provides solution to RCMPSP, where each project has a different priority for the organization. The key feature of this algorithm is that it includes project prioritization during the planning process. Before planning, the portfolio manager determines which projects are relevant for the company. With this in mind, the algorithm uses market mechanisms to determine which activities should be prioritized in the planning process. Based on this, the algorithm creates an artificial market and enables to plan those projects that are of higher priority. Thus, out of a number of possible schedules corresponding to resource constraints (i.e., the solution provided by classic approaches to RCMPSP), the approach considered in the article allows obtaining an optimal portfolio schedule. This schedule, in addition to having the shortest possible duration of the portfolio, allows planning activities in accordance with priorities of the portfolio manager and, consequently, priorities of the company.
Identifying Promising and Talented Students Based on Intellectual System KOMPOS+
Authors: Turenko Boris , Pashchenko Valeriy
Published: December 2023

The article studies relevant issues of identifying promising and talented students in secondary and higher educational institutions. These issues are as follows: assessing how successfully the curriculum was mastered by a group of students as a whole; finding out who of the students in the group showed the best and the worst results; assessing how well a particular academic discipline is mastered by each student; testing whether a particular student has vocational and personal qualities necessary for future profession; identifying strengths and weaknesses of the future specialist; revealing disadvantages and advantages hidden in the group of students. To solve these problems, it is proposed to use the intellectual system "KOMPOS +" ("Comprehensive assessment of students"). The system allows assessing vocational and personal qualities of senior students and their vocation potential, as well as creating vocational portraits of graduates of educational institutions. The system gives recommendations to ensure graduates’ optimal performance in the market economy. It is proposed to create a bank of promising and talented students and a bank of employers and make them available at offices and departments of educational institutions. This enables to optimally combine graduates’ interest in obtaining jobs and that of employers in attracting promising and talented specialists, which guarantees effective operation of enterprises in the competitive environment.

Invention of boundaries and identity issues in the story of an anti-colonial war
Authors: Leguy Cécile
Published: December 2023

To what extent do verbal arts contribute to the imposition of worldviews, and indeed to the redrawing of boundaries? I chose to address this question through a performance recital to commemorate a historical event, recorded during a festival organized by a cultural association with the aim of defending the Bwa minority in Mali. The event took place in San in December 2001 and was intended to prepare for the centenary of what is commonly known as the “Bwa revolt”, a resistance movement that took place during the First World War. The study of the recital invites one to question the part of identity reconstruction expressed in this commemoration of the revolt. In this article I argue that the vision of the revolt’s history such as it is proposed in this performance has the effect of inventing boundaries, even though it is a call to integrate into a larger whole. It highlights what can be understood as a paradoxical injunction. Indeed, the public is called to ‘be part of’ a country, while claiming as specific to the Bwa of Mali an event that belongs to the history of a whole region not only populated by the Bwa, and that goes far beyond the borders of what Mali is today. In this performance, one thus witnesses an ethnicization that is built on a rewriting of history, an ethnicization that is also remarkable in the comments exchanged on the commemoration of the revolt on social networks. This article is organized into three points. Firstly, the context of this anti-colonial war and the way it is claimed here as part of the construction of Bwa identity are explored from the very first words. Next, it is shown that the ethnicization manifested in this performance has long-standing political and scientific foundations. Finally, this paradoxical injunction addressed to Malian Bwa to be part of the nation while focusing on their own identity is discussed in a context where identity claims are reinforced by the importance taken by social networks on the internet.
Gender and power as negotiated in Bukusu circumcision ceremonies
Authors: Wabende Scholastica Nabututu , Wanjala Simon Nganga
Published: December 2023

Recent studies on language and gender that focus on songs and beer drinking sessions within the context of the Bukusu circumcision ceremony have shown that language is gendered and that it espouses male gender. Against this backdrop, in this study we aim to denaturalise this view by focussing on conversations within the circumcision ceremony. By using theoretical and methodological principles from critical discourse and conversation analysis in particular, we argue that, by using linguistic strategies, traditional gender roles are not only discursively highlighted but they are also negotiated and even resisted. This study falls within recent discussions in critical discourse analysis that have shown that language masks asymmetrical power relations on the one hand, and within postcolonial studies that have shown that gender discourses can reflect collisions between differing points of views on the other hand. The data used in this study is four audio recordings of conversations that took place alongside the main ceremony. This data has been analysed at the level of content and prosodic organisation to identify discursive practices that reveal the negotiation and contestation of gender roles. The study contributes to recent discussions in critical discourse analysis by exposing gender asymmetries and contestations that lie behind ‘taken-for-granted’ realities, with specific examples from the postcolonial context of the Bukusu circumcision ceremony.
Tensorial and Hadamard product inequalities for functions of selfadjoint operators in Hilbert spaces in terms of Kantorovich ratio
Authors: Dragomir S.S.
Published: December 2023

Let H be a Hilbert space. In this paper we show among others that, if f, g are continuous on the interval I with
 
0 <γ ≤ f(t)/g(t)≤ Γ for t ∈ I
 
and if A and B are selfadjoint operators with Sp (A), Sp (B) ⊂ I, then
 
 
[f1−ν(A) gν (A)] ⊗ [fν(B) g1−ν (B)] ≤ (1 − ν) f (A) ⊗ g (B) + ν g (A) ⊗ f (B)
                ≤ [(γ + Γ) 2/4γΓ]R [f1−ν(A) gν (A)] ⊗ [fν(B) g1−ν (B)].
 
The above inequalities also hold for the Hadamard product “ ◦ ” instead of tensorial product “ ⊗ ”.
Entre lo kosher y lo koolsher
Authors: Peña Jiménez Lorena
Published: December 2023

Defined as the most extensive culinary map of the world, Jewish cuisine has been firmly included in the dynamics of late multiculturalist capitalism. It is a culinary tradition that was forged inside the home, but now it is also a cuisine that has begun a new history: the Nouveau Jewish Cuisine. With it, the recipes are configured not only considering the traditions or the kashrut's laws but mainly by the influences exerted by social, economic, and cultural processes around culinary consumption. Therefore, this article will examine how the gourmetisation of Jewish restaurants in Buenos Aires has taken place. The different trends will show how the gourmetisation of Jewish cuisine is intrinsically related to the different geographies of the city's economic, cultural, and symbolic capital.

Published: December 2023

The fight against corruption is a national and international primary concern for lawmakers and enforcement officials. Corporate criminal liability is an aberration of imputing criminal responsibility on a corporation against a natural person, which requires a combined effect of the actus reus and mens rea. A corporation incapable of committing a crime imputes corporate mens rea through its directors, senior managers or officers that constitute executive powers. In doing so, Malaysia uses the identification doctrine to impute mens rea. This article evaluated the most effective technique of establishing mens rea in dealing with modern corporate criminal responsibility. It used a doctrinal library- based research method to review pertinent corporate criminal liability literature, cases and legislations. The journal articles, cases and legislations were collected and analysed according to the themes to achieve the research objective. It was discovered that Malaysia still uses identification doctrine to prove corporate mens rea, making it difficult and near impossible to find large and multinational corporations liable since the directing mind and will are not actively involved in the corporations’ day-to-day operations. However, intention can still be imputed on the corporation based on its corporate culture. Hence, for section 17A of the MACC Act 2009 (2018 amendment) on bribery to be effective, there is a need for a shift from the use of identification doctrine in proving mens rea to corporate culture as that would balance the discrimination and unfairness of the identification doctrine and make it easier for large and multinational corporations to be charged with corporate criminal liability.

O Carcinoma adenoide cístico (CAC) é uma neoplasia maligna relativamente comum em glândulas salivares, que se origina nas células epiteliais das glândulas secretoras de muco, particularmente, das glândulas salivares. Esta lesão merece destaque por apresentar crescimento invasivo e persistente, com alta tendência a recidivas locais e metástases à distância. Este artigo teve por objetivo apresentar os dados epidemiológicos de CAC no Brasil, entre 2006 e 2020. O estudo caracteriza-se como observacional, descritivo e baseado em dados retrospectivos. Foram analisadas as informações provenientes do Sistema de Informações de Registros Hospitalares de Câncer (SisRHC) do Instituto Nacional do Câncer (INCA), analisando as características clínicas, epidemiológicas e o prognóstico do Carcinoma Adenoide Cístico em glândulas salivares maiores e menores em região intraoral, em todo o território brasileiro, publicados no SisRHC. Foram analisadas variáveis como faixa etária, sexo, raça/cor da pele, escolaridade, Unidade Federal (UF) da unidade hospitalar, histórico familiar de câncer, histórico de tabagismo e etilismo, ano do diagnóstico, localização primária, estadiamento, estado da doença ao final do primeiro tratamento. Houve uma maior predileção pelo sexo feminino, maior frequência de casos em indivíduos de pele parda (31,3%) e branca (28,9%), e indivíduos entre 50-69 anos representaram a maioria dos pacientes (44,4%). Entre os principais locais da lesão, detectou-se que 26,4% dos casos acometeram a glândula parótida, o palato com 20,8% dos casos e 28,9% em outras glândulas salivares maiores. Sendo assim, é possível concluir que o CAC ainda possui o diagnóstico tardio, tendo um prognóstico desfavorável em 6,4% dos casos. O SUS é a principal via de encaminhamento dos casos. A queda nos números de novos casos aparenta ter relação com a subnotificação do sistema. Entre as regiões do Brasil, o Sudeste obteve maior número de casos, sendo São Paulo o Estado com maior incidência.

This research aims to determine the effect of different kefir grain concentration to viscosity, total acid, protein and hedonic level of buffalo milk kefir and to determine the ideal kefir grain concentration for buffalo milk kefir. The basic ingredients used in this research were buffalo milk and kefir grain. Concentration of kefir grain at 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10% (g/v) was used to measure viscosity, total acid, protein and hedonic level of buffalo milk kefir. Ostwald pipette and pycnometer were used to determine the viscosity, total acid used titration method with NaOH 0.1 N, destruction and distillation methods were used to determine the protein content and the hedonic test were done by 25 panelists. The results show that different levels of kefir grain concentration gave significant effect (p<0.05) on every parameter. Various levels of kefir grain concentration had highly significant effect (p<0.05) on kefir as a product. The conclusions from this study are the more addition of kefir grain, the more viscosity, total acid, and protein content. From the hedonic test gave specific results in sour taste, aroma, texture and overall.

Published: December 2023

Oils enriched with fat soluble vitamins are of plenty in market but oils with less calorie and enriched with water soluble vitamins and their use in food processing are still not in a practice. Water-soluble vitamins such as vitamin C can also be added to oils through the process of microencapsulation.The present study deals with DAG rich microencapsulated Vitamin-C oil. DAG (diacylglycerol) is devoid of one fatty acid than TAG(triacylglycerol) gives less calories in foods. On the other hand, vitamin–C is an well known antioxidant because of its ability to stabilise free radicals. Rice bran oil also contains oryzanol naturally which prevents cholesterol absorption. Therefore, combination of duo can serve as a duel nutraceutical in food industry and use of such oils (vitamin-C enriched DAG oil ) in fortification of various food products like butter, yogurt, Nutella mix will be very beneficial (less calorie containing vitamin enriched foods) in our day to day life.
