Trust Us - We Are the (Covid-19 Misinformation) Experts: A critical scoping review of expert meanings of ‘misinformation’ in the Covid era
Authors: Chaufan Claudia , Hemsing Natalie , Heredia Camila , McDonald Jennifer
Published: June 2024

Background: Since the WHO declared Covid-19 a pandemic, prominent social actors and institutions have warned about the threat of misinformation, i.e., false or misleading information, calling on the public to join in a global crusade against it. However, neither the premises underlying expert claims nor the standards that experts use to identify truth from falsehood have been appraised. Objectives: We conducted a critical scoping review of the medical and social scientific literature, examining what this literature means by misinformation. Methods: We followed the framework of Arksey and O’Malley for scoping reviews informed by the critical perspective of the “what is the problem represented to be” approach to policy analysis. Medical sources were identified from PubMed and from three medical journals - the British Medical Journal, The Lancet, and the New England Journal of Medicine – and social science sources were identified from the journal Social Science & Medicine and from within refereed publications of self-identified and socially recognized “misinformation experts”, using a specified combination of search terms (e.g., “covid-19”; “misinformation”). Data were charted independently by two researchers. The protocol was registered in Open Science Frame. Findings: Across the data, we found that verifiability relied largely on the claims of socially recognized epistemic authorities to the exclusion of independent evidentiary standards. Further, “epistemic authority” did not depend on subject matter expertise, but rather on a new type of “expertise” - in misinformation itself. Finally, policy solutions to the alleged threat that misinformation poses to democracy and human rights called for, paradoxically, suppressing information unverified, and debate unmanaged, by experts, in the name of protecting democracy and rights. Notably, we identified no pockets of resistance to these dominant meanings and uses. Conclusions: We assess the implications of our findings for democratic public policy, and for fundamental rights and freedoms. The study is part of a larger project examining geopolitics, medicalization, and social control in the Covid era.
Meat Consumption as a Metaphor: Gender Differences in Margaret Atwood’s The Edible Woman
Authors: Meklash Nahed Mohammed Ahmed
Published: June 2024

This paper studies the metaphorical representation of gender differences in meat consumption, a vital issue in vegetarian ecofeminism, masculine food studies, and feminist animal studies. In the context of Margaret Atwood’s The Edible Woman, the metaphor of meat eating resonates with Carol J. Adams’ concepts of the linked relation between women and edible animals and J Wyckoff’s linked oppression of sexism and speciesism. Using these concepts as a critical intersectional lens, the paper explores the various forms of gender oppression Marian is subject to, the power dynamics in Marian-Peter’s relationships, and the potential solutions presented by Atwood’s novel to resist such gender oppression that threatens Marian’s survival. The central question of this paper is how Marian’s identification with edible animals through Atwood’s use of meat consumption as a metaphor portrays the gender dynamics of oppression that threaten her relationship with Peter, thus leading to further gender imbalances in her society. The paper concludes that ensuring women are free to choose and speak up, regardless of societal expectations or gender, is crucial to eliminating some oppressive forms. However, it also argues that adopting a vegetarian lifestyle is not a practical solution to dismantling sexism or resisting other gender oppressions. It may perpetuate new forms of gender inequality and oppression
Geneza współczesnej filozofii wartości. Skrypt do wykładu z aksjologii i prakseologii
Authors: Noras Andrzej J. , Kubalica Tomasz
Published: June 2024

The submitted script synthesises and complements the didactic content of the Axiology and Praxeology lecture. The script has been continuously updated from year to year according to the current knowledge of the subject taught, in order to eventually develop into a peer-reviewed academic textbook. The present work can be regarded as the result of a research and didactic project that I undertook together with the late Professor Andrzej J. Noras. We gave lectures on Axiology and Praxeology on an alternating basis. The present work is based on scientifically prepared notes. Although the work is preceded by an extensive historical introduction to the subject of value, the present study focuses on analysing and commenting on the basic assumptions of the most important concepts of the philosophy of value at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when the term and the concept of value were shaped in the fire of philosophical discussion, mainly by the Baden School of Neo-Kantianism. The basic aim is to place axiology and praxeology in the perspective of the classical questions of the philosophy of value and the problems of understanding them. The order of the chapters is determined by the historical order of the lecture, which recommends that the earliest and most fundamental views be discussed first, and only later the opinions that arose in reaction to earlier positions. The historical conceptual analysis of the problem of values consists in breaking down the individual views and positions into their constituent concepts and examining each one separately. The task of this paper is to show the internal structure and, above all, the historical dynamics of the development of modern axiology, its basic assumptions, connections and relations between individual thinkers.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the Hallucinations issue in the Graphic Novel Caroline. The condition when someone who experiences sees, hears, feels, smells and tastes things that are not real is Hallucinations. Many things can cause hallucinations. One of them is a very strong desire to get something. The graphic novel Coraline has abundant evidence of the hallucinations experienced by the main character. Freud (1953) felt that hallucinations were very much like dreams and that both conditions represented a psychotic state in which there is no sense of time at all. Coraline always enters a parallel world when she sleeps and sees her parents in different forms and traits. The analysis is used psychological approach especially Sigmund Freud's Psychoanalytic theory. The psychological approach can be used to analyze the characters in a work. The main character and her hallucinations are important for analysis. The focus of this study is to find confirmation of Id, Ego, and Super Ego from Coraline's hallucinations.

Published: June 2024

This research aims to reflect on racial discrimination contained in the dialogue of Richard La Gravense's film Freedom Writers (2007). This film tells the story of a white teacher named Erin Gruwell who tries to resolve the racist conflict that occurred among her students at Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach, California. The film depicts how "liberating" education can be a beacon amid raging gang clashes that drag many children into a cycle of violence. Based on a true story, Freedom Writers, which debuted for the first time on the big screen in 2007, gives a strong impression of how fundamental the role of education is. This research approach is qualitative description. Data were analyzed based on Fred L. Pincus' theory of types of discrimination and Erving Goffman's theory of stigma. The results of this research conclude that in the dialogue of the film, the characters experience two types of acts of racial discrimination, namely individual discrimination and institutional discrimination. Apart from that, this treatment has an impact on prejudice, resulting in violence between racial groups.
STRUCTURAL OPTIMIZATION IN SPEED OF DERIVATIVE OBSERVERS WITH SLIDING MODE CONTROL FOR SERVO DRIVES
Authors: Derets Oleksandr , Sadovoi Oleksandr , Derets Serhii , Patynka Denys
Published: June 2024

The relevance of the work is determined by the improvement of the element base of modern electric drive control systems, which contributes to the expansion of the possibilities of introducing new principles of their construction and encourages the development of optimal control theory methods. The increase in productivity of controllers opens up ways to implement derivative observers with discontinuous control, in which the frequency of sliding modes is an order of magnitude higher than the frequency of the power converter of the electric drive.
The purpose of the study is to increase the speed of derivative observers of the control error, intended for use as part of electric servo drives. Such observers are tracking systems that must combine high tracking accuracy with high speed when tracking control error that may have discontinuities.
The solution of this complex problem carried out in the work is structural, and obtained due to the possibility of direct influence on the internal coordinates of the observer. It is based on the method of N–i switching both in the part of modifying the structure of the observer and in the method of determining its additional parameters. The use of a forcing circuit based on a relay, which has a dead zone and does not affect the steady modes of the observer, is proposed. This solution avoids an excessive increase in the sliding frequency of the relay controller in the observation device.
The use of the described method of determining the derivatives provides optimal control of the electric servo drive at all stages of the transient process, which is confirmed by the results of modeling the dynamics of the control system. Integration of work results into application software designed for optimization of electromechanical systems is a promising direction of their implementation.

Identification of Two QTLs Contolling Flax Resistance to Fusarium Wilt
Authors: Rozhmina T. A , Kanapin A. A , Bankin M. P , Samsonova M. G
Published: June 2024

Bulk segregant analysis was applied to the evaluation of F2 population developed by crossing two flax cultivars which differ in the resistance genes to Fusarium wilt. The causative agent of this disease, the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lini, is one of the main flax pathogens causing enormous economic damage to the linen industry worldwide. DNA pools of highly resistant and susceptible F2 plants to Fusarium wilt were sequenced and subsequent data analysis identified two regions on chromosomes 9 and 13 that conferred resistance to Fusarium wilt. Candidate genes for subsequent analysis were selected by functional gene annotation and by analyzing the expression of genes in QTL regions based on data generated in transcriptomic experiment made with the infected flax cultivar Atalante resistant to Fusarium. By combining these two approaches, three candidate genes were identified within each of QTL regions which, according to the literature data, are involved in the plant response to infection and have been differentially expressed in the transcriptomics experiment.
Low-frequency Oscillations of Functional Indicators of the Body
Authors: Grishin O. V , Grishin V. G
Published: June 2024

A number of our studies have shown that low-frequency (LF) oscillations in the functional parameters of the oxygen transport system are stable and synchronized with one another. The literature presents a large number of examples of LF oscillations in various functional parameters that are directly or indirectly related to energy metabolism. In parallel, artificially induced damped and constant spontaneous oscillations related to energy produced by the mitochondria over a range of LF frequencies have been studied for more than 40 years. A parameter study is therefore needed to find the connection between the oscillation amplitudes and the physical characteristics both of the oxygen transport system and mitochondria that operate on common LF range (0.003–0.03 Hz). We believe the nature of all these oscillation amplitudes to be affected by the periodic dynamics of energy dissipation in mitochondria that form an interconnected network. The process of creating these oscillations occurs in two phases. In the 1st phase, the amount of Са2+ entering the mitochondria exceeds the amount of Са2+ released by mitochondria thereby promoting an increase in oxidative phosphorylation efficiency. In the 2nd phase, Са2+ efflux from mitochondria prevails over Са2+ influx and is accompanied by inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation. The oscillations remain stable and spontaneous and arise from an “autocatalytic” interaction based on feedback mechanisms. The inertia of the processes of a full cycle (1st and 2nd phases) that lasts 1–3 minutes may be due to the capacity of the phosphate buffer of mitochondria. The structural basis for synchronizing oscillations at the tissue level may be mitochondrial networks of excitable tissues. Synchronization at the organism level between mitochondrial oscillations and fluctuations in parameters associated with energy metabolism can be achieved through a system of tunnel nanotubes.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was used to determine the content of nitric oxide (NO) and copper in the hippocampus of healthy rats and rat models of ischemia. The rat model of ischemia was established via both carotid arteries ligation and ligation of the carotid arteries with subsequent withdrawal of a 3 ml of blood from the common carotid artery. The EPR signals of the (DETC)2-Fe2+-NO and Cu(DETC)2 complexes were recorded. The NO level in the hippocampus showed a significantly drop by an average of 28% one day after modeling ischemic stroke caused by carotid artery ligation and by 56% in the rat model of ischemia established via ligation of the carotid arteries with subsequent withdrawal of a 3 ml of blood from the common carotid artery. The copper content decreased significantly in the hippocampus by an average of 20% one day after modeling ischemia by ligation of the carotid arteries and our findings indicate that the copper content tends to decrease in the rat model of ischemia established via ligation of the carotid arteries with subsequent withdrawal of blood. High variability couldn’t tell us if there was a significant difference between groups, though. Thus, brain hypoxia of rats subjected to carotid arteries ligation is accompanied not only by a decrease in NO production in the hippocampus, but also by signs of a weakening of the antioxidant system, thus, worsening conditions for the maintenance of homeostasis.

Hafnium is a promising element as contrast agent for diagnostic and therapeutic radiology. Currently there is no suitable hafnium drugs with renal excretion, which can be used in radiology. In this work two new hafnium complexes with nitrilotriacetic acid (Hf-NTA) and 1,2-diaminocyclohexanetetraacetic acid (Hf-CDTA) were synthesized and studied for acute toxicity and biodistribution. Inorganic chemistry methods were used for Hf-NTA and Hf-CDTA synthesis. Acute toxicity was studied in female mice C57Bl/6. Biodistribution and contrast properties studies of Hf-CDTA were made in vivo with micro-CT. Mice with transplanted subcutaneous mammary adenocarcinoma Ca755 were used for the study. Median lethal dose (LD50) of Hf-CDTA was assessed as 408 ± 64 mg Hf/kg and of Hf-NTA less than 120 mg Hf/kg. CT imaging of mice intravenously injected with Hf-CDTA confirmed its renal excretion and contrast capability. CT imaging of tumor region with single intratumoral administration of Hf-CDTA showed promising hafnium concentration and retention in tumor for use in contrast enhanced radiotherapy. Hf-CDTA showed acceptable toxicity and biodistribution in mice with subcutaneous tumors for biomedical application in radiology and radiotherapy. For diagnostic clinical application Hf-CDTA formulation must be improved to increase water solubility and decrease toxicity. Hf-NTA appeared to be unacceptably toxic for radiological application.
Study of phase equilibria in a two-component system diphenyloxide - n - nonadecane
Authors: Kazakova A. I. , Yakovlev I. G. , Garkushin I. K.
Published: June 2024

Using the Schroeder, UNIFAC and UNIFAC Dortmund methods, the fusibility diagram of the diphenyloxide – n –nonadecane system was calculated and it was shown that it belongs to the eutectic type. Individual substances and their mixtures were studied experimentally using a differential scanning microcalorimeter. On the DTA heating curve of the eutectic alloy, two endo-effects are noted, corresponding to the polymorphic transition of n–nonadecane and the melting of the eutectic. A comparison of the eutectic coordinates calculated by these methods with experimental data is presented. For a eutectic alloy, the specific enthalpy of fusion, molar values of entropy and enthalpy of fusion, volumetric specific enthalpy of fusion and density for standard conditions are calculated. The eutectic mixture can be recommended for use as a coolant, as well as the working fluid of a heat accumulator.
Calculation of isothermal compressibility of potassium halide melts and in binary mixtures KI–KX (X = F, Cl, Br) by the classical molecular dynamics
Authors: Kobelev M. A.
Published: June 2024

Calculations of the isothermal compressibility (ᵡT) of individual potassium halides and some binary mixtures, namely KI–KX (X = F, Cl, Br), by using the classical molecular dynamics were carried out. Simulations of potassium halide melts using the Born-Mayer-Huggins pair potential showed good agreement between the calculated isothermal compressibility values and experimental data. A systematic underestimation of the calculated ᵡT values for individual melts was discovered, with the maximum difference between the calculated and experimental values being 24% for potassium chloride. For binary mixtures KI–KX (X = F, Cl, Br), the experimental concentration dependences of ᵡT during the transition from bromide ion to fluoride ion are characterized by an increasing deviation from additivity. It is shown, that even now for the binary mixture KI–KBr, the calculated concentration dependence ᵡT has a pronounced nonlinear dependence. At the same time, the maximum differences between the calculated and experimental values of ᵡT are observed for the KI–KF binary mixture of equimolar composition and are about 34%.

Using the modern vector of foreign language education based on plurilingualism
and multiculturalism, as well as its main goal of developing a linguistic and cultural
personality, the author of the article makes an attempt to reveal the potential of the
linguocultural approach to teaching Chinese hieroglyphic writing, because Chinese
hieroglyph is a unique artifact of Chinese culture, which embodies and reflects the millennia of formation and development of the nation. The article analyzes the philosophical
justification of the inseparability of “language – culture” and takes steps to reveal the
potential of foreign language teaching (on the material of Chinese language) in the context
of linguocultural approach for the development of a personality capable of mediating at all
levels of communication.

THE METHOD OF MILITARY-HISTORICAL RECONSTRUCTION IN THE ART EDUCATION OF THE PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY
Authors: Suzdaltsev Evgeny
Published: June 2024

To create artistic works on a historical topic, it is not enough to be artists for art students at pedagogical universities. They need to be able to conduct research, the results of which will allow them to perform work that will not only increase the degree of professional competence of the author, but also help to acquire artistic and educational value for the viewer. For these aims, the author, as a Professor at the State University of Education, proposes to use the method of military-historical reconstruction. In order to test this method, the faculty organized work on the implementation of the educational project “Neuchâtel Battalion in the Battle of Krasnoy on November 17, 1812” which includes several stages of joint work of teachers and students. In the course of the work, students develop competencies that allow them to perform artwork on a given topic in the traditions of the Russian classical battle painting school. The generalized experience of using the method of military-historical reconstruction in teaching students the basics of historical painting was reflected in the developed manual on the uniform of the armies of the early 19th century. This method can be recommended for use in the educational process at other university faculties as well during research work, enriching its theoretical part with the creative one.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE INTEGRATION OF THE INDUSTRIAL LABOR MARKET AND EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS IN THE TRAINING OF PERSONNEL FOR LIGHT INDUSTRY
Authors: Leonov Sergey
Published: June 2024

The article considers the issue of personnel shortage in light industry. The development of the industry and the improvement of its competitiveness directly depends on the quality of training of future graduates majoring in educational programs that meet the current and future requirements of the labor market. The article aims at describing the key elements which influence the light industry personnel training as well as at identifying the role of the employer when updating the educational training programs. The key role in eliminating the personnel shortage of enterprises is played by educational organizations that train specialists of various levels in the light industry. At the same time, the author concludes that the development and implementation of educational programs for advanced training for light industry is impossible without the active involvement of the employer in the process of designing, developing, selecting material and technical resources and, precisely, implementing the educational program. The author gives the example of such a practice in the framework of the implementation of the federal project “Professionalitet” and the creation of an educational and production cluster of light industry. Taking into account the requirements of the labor market, the tasks for the successful development of the personnel potential of the industry and the training of specialists by educational organizations are formulated.
Aufarbeitung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Erziehungswissenschaft (DGfE) zum Umgang mit sexuellen Gewaltverhältnissen in pädagogischen Kontexten aus männlichkeitstheoretischer Perspektive
Authors: Rieske Thomas Viola
Published: June 2024

Sexual violence is a gendered phenomenon. It is linked to the establishment of male dominance, which is why the majority of perpetrators are male and why girls, non-binary young people and marginalized groups of boys are at higher risk of experiencing sexual violence than relatively privileged boys. Also, victimized boys face particular challenges in processes of disclosure because of norms of masculinity. These norms imply a dominance over others, particularly the objectification of non-male bodies, thereby contributing to the legitimization of sexual violence. A critical reappraisal of sexual violence – here understood as including both research and justice work – therefore must take into account gendered analyzes of the phenomenon, including theories of masculinity. The article elaborates this view and discusses possible conclusions for the critical reappraisal of the GERA’s handling of sexual violence in educational institutions based on masculinity theory.

Published: June 2024

Background: Quality of life (QOL) and treatment needs of patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and their caregivers are important factors to consider when developing treatment strategies. Objective: To investigate factors associated with QOL in patients with DLB, and to examine factors associated with activities of daily living (ADL) if ADL was associated with QOL. Methods: We previously conducted a questionnaire survey study to investigate the treatment needs of patients with DLB and their caregivers. This pre-specified additional analysis evaluated the Physical Component Score (PCS) and Mental Component Score (MCS) of the Short Form-8 for QOL, and the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part II total score for ADL. Results: In total, 231 patient– caregiver pairs and 38 physicians were included. Multivariable analysis of QOL showed that the MDS-UPDRS Part II total score (standard regression coefficient [β], – 0.432) was associated with the PCS, and presence of depression (β, – 0.330) was associated with the MCS. The severity of postural instability/gait disorder (PIGD) (β, 0.337) and rigidity (β, 0.266), presence of hallucinations (β, 0.165), male sex (β, 0.157), and use of “short stay” or “small-scale, multifunctional home care” (β, 0.156) were associated with worsened ADL. Conclusions: In patients with DLB, QOL was negatively impacted by severity of ADL disability and depression, and ADL was negatively impacted by severity of PIGD and rigidity, hallucinations, male sex, and use of “short stay” or “small-scale, multifunctional home care.”

Background: Determining unmet need patterns and associated factors in primary care can potentially specify assessment batteries and tailor interventions in dementia more efficiently. Objective: To identify latent unmet healthcare need patterns and associated sociodemographic and clinical factors. Methods: This Latent Class Analysis (LCA) includes n = 417 community-dwelling people living with dementia. Subjects completed a comprehensive, computer-assisted face-to-face interview to identify unmet needs. One-hundred-fifteen predefined unmet medical, medication, nursing, psychosocial, and social care needs were available. LCA and multivariate logistic regressions were performed to identify unmet needs patterns and patient characteristics belonging to a specific pattern, respectively. Results: Four profiles were identified: [1] “few needs without any psychosocial need” (n = 44 (11%); mean: 7.4 needs), [2] “some medical and nursing care needs only” (n = 135 (32%); 9.7 needs), [3] “some needs in all areas” (n = 139 (33%); 14.3 needs), and [4] “many medical and nursing needs” (n = 99 (24%); 19.1 needs). Whereas the first class with the lowest number of needs comprised younger, less cognitively impaired patients without depressive symptoms, the fourth class had the highest number of unmet needs, containing patients with lower health status, less social support and higher comorbidity and depressive symptoms. Better access to social care services and higher social support reduced unmet needs, distinguishing the second from the third class (9.7 versus 14.3 needs). Conclusions: Access to the social care system, social support and depressive symptoms should be assessed, and the patient’s health status and comorbidities monitored to more comprehensively identify unmet needs patterns and more efficiently guide tailored interventions.
