Authors:   Russian State Social University, Fomina Svetlana N. , Dobrynin Konstantin A. ,   Russian State Social University, Grigorieva Irina G. ,   SBEI SS No. 1499
Published: September 2021

Currently, the world educational community is actively discussing the problem of developing students’ universal competencies, flexible skills, or «soft skills». A global trend is indicated that requires young specialists to master the skills included in the definition of «soft skills», since a set of such skills and abilities allows you to effectively approach tasks and quickly adapt to changing environmental conditions. The application of these skills in everyday life is also actualized, which can help a person to be adaptive in changing conditions. Indicating the high demand and relevance of this issue, scientists note serious difficulties in using various approaches associated with the discrepancy and different use of the definitions of «soft skills». The purpose of this study was an attempt to systematize the concepts used and develop the author’s list of «soft skills», including: «creativity», «cooperation», «persuasion», «emotional intelligence», «adaptability».
Technologies for Training in Singing Breathing of Teenagers in Pop Vocal Class
Authors:   Russian State Social University, Katz Maria L.
Published: September 2021

The vocalist’s breath is one of the important areas of work in the pop vocal class. This area of work is especially relevant in adolescence, since at this age stage this process will become conscious and meaningful, and not intuitive, and complex works that are included in the repertoire of adolescents will require a more attentive attitude to breathing technique. The problem of singing breath received a theoretical justification from the point of view of different methodological approaches and is considered both in the context of the features of the vocalist’s work in different vocal styles (academic, folk, pop-jazz) and in the context of solo and choral vocal performance. However, breathing technologies in teenagers involved in pop vocals remain poorly illuminated. The object of the study is the singing breath of teenagers of the pop vocal class in the institution of additional education.

Authors:   Moscow Region State University, Zotova Larisa E. , Gubanov Andrey V. ,   Moscow Region State University, Sidyacheva Natalia V. ,   Moscow Region State University
Published: September 2021

The purpose of the study was to describe the cultural and national specifics of the work of employees of organizations in Russia and Western Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic. Employee performance is viewed through the key concept of “Organizational Citizenship Behavior” (OCB). Respondents from various countries (total number – 619 people) were offered a questionnaire of 95 questions, which were reduced to 13 variables. The variables reflected the personal qualities, sociodemographic characteristics of employees, as well as the characteristics of their professional activities. No differences in the level of formation of OCB among employees of Russian and Western European organizations were found. A group of factors influencing OCB has been identified. The same factors for all countries are: “interaction with the leadership”, “resilience” and “satisfaction from remote work”. Two more factors influence the OCB of Russian employees: “work experience” and “satisfaction with the area of residence”. The research carried out seems to be relevant due to the novelty and scale of changes introduced by the pandemic to the work of employees.
To explain evil. Philosophical interpretation of Philip Zimbardo's Prison Experiment
Authors: Hładyłowicz Joanna Gabriela
Published: September 2021

The main problem of this paper is the issue of the evil and attempts at explaining this phenomenon. It is an analysis and reinterpretation of the Stanford Prison Experiment conducted by Philip Zimbardo. The leading argumentation is composed of Hannah Arendt's thesis of the banality of evil and philosophy of Immanuel Kant and Paul Ricoeur. Facing the radical experiment's conclusions, questions about human free will, motives and responsibility was raised. Therefore, the main thesis of this paper is an objection against the radical postulate of social psychologists about a profound influence a situation has on our moral decisions. The conclusion leads us to assumption of the incomprehensible character of evil and a strong need to expand our ability of self-reliant thinking allowing us to make a morally right choices and to counteract evil.
Places, moments, objects and people (part II)
Authors: Nobis Adam
Published: September 2021

In the text I analyze the flea market in Świdnica (Poland): items from different places and times present there. I argue that the meeting of these objects is at the same time indirectly the meeting of these different places and moments in one moment and place. I wonder how is this possible? I refer to three concepts: the global cultural ecumen, the palimpsest and the postulate of treating local and global as closely related. I come to the conclusion that these concepts should be supplemented with ontic properties of place, space, moments and time. Continuity is one of the most important here. The continuity of space and time is a necessary condition for the ecumenical character of culture, the close relationship between local and global, and the palimpsest character of the present day.
Using Satellite Images to Measure Crop Productivity: Long-Term Impact Assessment of a Randomized Technology Adoption Program in the Dominican Republic
Authors: Salazar Lina , Palacios Ana Claudia , Selvaraj Michael , Montenegro Frank
Published: September 2021

This study combines three rounds of surveys with remote sensing to measure long-term impacts of a randomized irrigation program in the Dominican Republic. Specifically, Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 satellite images are used to measure the causal effects of the program on agricultural productivity, measured through vegetation indices (NDVI and OSAVI). To this end, 377 plots were analyzed (129 treated and 248 controls) for the period from 2011 to 2019. Following a Differencein-Differences (DD) and Event study methodology, the results confirmed that program beneficiaries have higher vegetation indices, and therefore experienced a higher productivity throughout the post-treatment period. Also, there is some evidence of spillover effects to neighboring farmers. Furthermore, the Event Study model shows that productivity impacts are obtained in the third year after the adoption takes place. These findings suggest that adoption of irrigation technologies can be a long and complex process that requires time to generate productivity impacts. In a more general sense, this study reveals the great potential that exists in combining field data with remote sensing information to assess long-term impacts of agricultural programs on agricultural productivity.
From Social Justice to Metaphor: The Whitening of Othello in the Russian Imagination
Authors: Khomenko Natalia
Published: September 2021

Othello was the most often-staged Shakespeare play on early Soviet stages, to a large extent because of its ideological utility. Interpreted with close attention to racial conflict, this play came to symbolize, for Soviet theatres and audiences, the destructive racism of the West in contrast with Soviet egalitarianism. In the first decades of the twenty-first century, however, it is not unusual for Russian theatres to stage Othello as a white character, thus eliminating the theme of race from the productions. To make sense of the change in the Russian tradition of staging Othello, this article traces the interpretations and metatheatrical uses of this character from the early Soviet period to the present day. I argue that the Soviet tradition of staging Othello in blackface effectively prevented the use of the play for exploring the racial tensions within the Soviet Union itself, and gradually transformed the protagonist’s blackness into a generalized metaphor of oppression. As post-collapse Russia embraced whiteness as a category, Othello’s blackness became a prop that was entirely decoupled from race and made available for appropriation by ethnically Slavic actors and characters. The case of Russia demonstrates that staging Othello in blackface, even when the initial stated goals are those of racial equality, can serve a cultural fantasy of blackness as a versatile and disposable mask placed over a white face.
The Shakespeare Brand in Contemporary “Fair Verona”
Authors: Oggiano Eleonora
Published: September 2021

The idea that Shakespeare belongs to the world is certainly not new. From the beginning of his afterlife as a dramatist two issues have been consistently put forward by his contemporaries: 1) his art’s universality—for Ben Jonson, Shakespeare was the one “To whom all scenes of Europe homage owe”—and 2) his ability in appropriating foreign exotic environments which have notoriously characterised most of his plays. The value of such claims, which seem to be so present to us, helped to identify Shakespeare as an ‘universal’ icon whose work transcends time and space, gradually fostering, in and outside Britain, the so-called ‘Bardification of culture’, a phenomenon which persists, even more powerfully, nowadays. This study examines the different ways through which Verona has contributed in popularizing and elaborating the myth of Romeo and Juliet into a variety of formats suitable for the tourism market. By taking into account the so-called ‘Shakespace’ phenomenon, it focuses on what I have labelled as the ‘R&J-influenced spaces’ which account for a number of civic, cultural, and narrative spaces generated by and constructed upon the myth of the Veronese lovers.

Published: September 2021

Background: Polymorphisms in candidate beta-lactoglobulin genes are associated with traits of economic importance in cows and are related to milk composition, quality, production as well as cheese-production. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of breed, season and polymorphism on milk quality and yield in Jersey and Crossbred Holstein Friesian cows. Methods: The quality traits studied were fat %, lactose %, protein %, SNF, density and ash while quantity traits were average monthly milk yield, protein yield and fat yield. The beta-lactoglobulin gene exon IV (262 bp) was screened for polymorphisms by PCR-RFLP using BsuRI (Hae III) enzyme. Result: Our investigation revealed only two patterns AA and AB in both the breeds under study. BB genotype was absent. AA genotype was most abundant in Jersey cows (0.68) and crossbred HF cows (0.56). A allele frequency was highest in Crossbred HF cows (0.72) and Jersey cows (0.66). In Jersey genotype AB was observed to be responsible for high milk yield, protein and fat yield in each season whereas it was genotype AA of crossbred HF cows affecting milk yield, protein and fat yield. In crossbred HF cow, genotype effect was observed to be non-significant (p greater than 0.05) on all quality traits and effect of season was significant on lactose % and fat %. In Jersey cows, genotype and season effects were significant (P less than 0.05) on fat % concluding that the breed, season and genotype affectmilk quality and yield.

The objective of the study is impotance of casein protein genetic polymorphism of goat milk. Goat milk is highly digestible and has medicinal properties in human being. Goat milk and its value added dairy products have higher demand in many contries of world. Due to evolution process, much genetic variability has been developed in casein protein genes. This is originatd due to point mutation; addition/deletion and many other factors lead to huge genetic variation in goat casein genes. Because of this goat milk, chemical and biological properties have been affected. Goat milk casein contents decide the cheese making properties as well as nutritional and medicinal values. Goat milk is good alternative source of nutrition in human when people have cow milk problems. Goat milk has humerous inactive bioactive peptides in their casein protein. These have important place for human health and nutrition. In the future, this is great possibility for development of medicinal value functional dairy products from functional bioactive peptides.

Published: September 2021

Background: The development of superior hybrids is must to break the existing yield plateau ( less than 800 kg/ha) in pigeonpea and hence, the genetic mechanism governing the heterosis in pigeonpea must be decoded. Methods: The present study was laid down using randomized block design during kharif 2018-19 at GBPUAT, Pantnagar with 36 genotypes (8 parents and 28 F1 hybrids) of pigeonpea. The estimates of combining ability were evaluated by using the Griffing’s, Method II, Model I. The observations recorded for yield and related traits were subjected to the estimation of genetic diversity (GD) using the D2 statistics. The correlation between heterosis and different parameters viz., parental mean (PM), specific combining ability (SCA), mean of general combining ability (MGCA) and genetic diversity (GD) were estimated by using Pearson’s correlation. Result: High estimates of SCA variance and more than unity ( greater than 1) average degree of dominance for all the characters indicated the presence of over dominance. The SCA followed by MGCA were found to be most reliable parameters to predict the heterosis. The parents having high x low or high x high per se performance, good x poor GCA effects and with medium genetic diversity resulted in high frequency of heterotic hybrids.

Effect of compression ignition engine preheating on its performance under cold start conditions
Authors: Gęca Michał , Radica Gojmir
Published: September 2021

This paper examines the effect of an external preheating system for an internal combustion engine on fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, and cabin temperature of a Euro4 vehicle. A 1 kW electric system powered by 220 V was installed in series in the cooling system of a vehicle with a compression-ignition engine of 2.5 dm3 capacity. The tests were carried out in simulated urban driving conditions (distance of 4.2 km), extra-urban driving conditions (distance of 17 km), and during idling at cold-start temperatures ranging from -10 oC to 2 oC. Preheating the engine under simulated city conditions reduces fuel consumption by 2.64 dm3/100 km and increases the supply air temperature immediately after engine start-up. Due to the preheater being powered from an external power grid, the cost per trip and total CO2 emissions are increased. Assuming renewable energy sources, CO2 emissions would be reduced the most for the stationary tests after engine preheating. In contrast, emissions would be reduced the least for extra-urban driving.

Published: September 2021

Наукова новизна полягає в розширенні уявлень про пізнавальну книгу для дітей молодшого шкільного віку та роль редактора в її вдосконаленні з урахуванням психологічних особливостей читацької авдиторії. Звернено увагу на термінологічну плутанину щодо пізнавальної літератури та розглянуто думки науковців щодо понять «пізнавальна книга», «нон-фікшн», «просвітницька книга», «навчально-пізнавальне видання» і «науково-популярне видання». На основі цього розширено дефініцію «пізнавальної літератури». Зазначено, що нині професія редактора дитячої літератури зазнала значних змін: він не лише виконує редакторський аналіз матеріалу, а й володіє важливими особистісними якостями та поєднує в роботі досвід багатьох фахівців. Відтак запропоновано універсальний набір функцій редактора пізнавальної книги для дітей молодшого шкільного віку, котрий постає в таких ролях: «редактор-дослідник дитячої психології», «редактор-популяризатор», «редактор-універсальна особистість», «редактор-консультант», «редактор-верстальник», «редактор-ілюстратор», «редактор-педагог».
Зроблено висновок, що пізнавальна книга актуальна в освітньому процесі, однак вона потребує фахового редактора, котрий, уміло застосовуючи надбання інших професій, знаючи механізми поліпшення сприйняття інформації, може підвищити рівень її якості. Практичне значення отриманих результатів полягає в тому, що їх можна використовувати в навчальному процесі підготовки майбутніх редакторів. Також ця інформація може бути використана видавництвами задля розширення пропозиції та, відповідно, збільшення попиту на пізнавальну книгу для дітей. Робота доводить доцільність використання пізнавальної літератури під час навчального процесу учнів початкової школи.
Electric heater mathematical model for cyber-physical systems
Authors: Pankratova Nataliya , Golinko Igor
Published: September 2021

The article discusses the heat and mass transfer dynamic model for an electric heater with lumped parameters, which allows transient processes simulation for the main influences. The proposed model is recommended to be used in cyber-physical systems for forecasting and evaluating the effectiveness of control systems integrated into a single information management system. The developed model can be used by specialists for the analysis and synthesis of control systems for balanced ventilation systems or industrial air conditioners. As an example, a numerical simulation of transient processes along the action main channels for an electric heater HE 36/2 manufactured by VTS CLIMA was carried out. The significant advantage of the proposed model is the possibility for using it for the synthesis and analysis of multidimensional control systems.
Attracting sets for one class of asymptotically compact systems with pulsed perturbation
Authors: Kapustyan Oleksiy , Gorban Nataliia
Published: September 2021

The authors consider the pulsed dynamical systems generated by evolutionary processes. The trajectories of these processes undergo the pulsed perturbation when the energy functional reaches some fixed limit value.  The generalization of the classical theory of global attractors of infinite dimensional dynamical systems in case of systems with impulse actions is carried out.  It is established that for the dissipative pulsed dynamical system generated by the asymptotically compact semigroup, there exists a uniform attractor, i.e., a compact uniformly attracting set, minimal among all such sets in the phase space of the system. The result is applied to the weakly nonlinear wave equation with dissipation, the trajectories of which are subjected to impulsive perturbations upon attainment of a certain fixed subset in the phase space, so called the impulse set.
Minimizing Errors in the Prediction of Water Levels Using Kriging Technique in Residuals of the Groundwater Model (MODFLOW)
Authors: Asadi Alireza , Adhikari Kushal
Published: September 2021

Groundwater monitoring and water level predictions have been a challenging issue due to the complexity of groundwater movement. Simplified numerical simulation models have been used to represent the groundwater system; these models however only provide the conservative approximation of the system and may not always capture the local variations. Several other efforts such as coupling groundwater models with hydrological models and using geostatistical methods are being practiced to accurately predict the groundwater levels. In this study, we present a novel application of geostatistical tool on residuals of groundwater model. Kriging method was applied on the residuals of the numerical model (MODFLOW) generated by the TWDB (Texas Water Development Board) for the Edwards-Trinity (Plateau) aquifer. The study was done for the years 1995 through 2000 where 90% of the observation data was used for model simulation followed by cross-validation with the remaining 10% of the observations. The kriging method reduced the average absolute error of approximately 31 m (for MODFLOW simulation) to less than 5 m. Also, the residuals’ average standard error reduced from 9.7 to 4.7. This implies that the mean value of residuals over entire period can be a good estimation for each year separately. The use of kriging technique thus can provide with improved monitoring of groundwater levels resulting in more accurate potentiometric surface maps.

Morphodynamics of barrier-inlet systems in the context of regional sediment management, with case studies from West-Central Florida, USA
Authors: Beck Tanya , Wang Ping
Published: September 2021

The temporal and spatial scales controlling the morphodynamics of barrier-inlet systems are critical components of regional sediment management practice. This paper discusses regional sediment management methods employed at multiple barrier-inlet systems, with case studies from West-Central Florida. A decision-support tool is proposed for regional sediment management with discussion of its application to barrier-inlet systems. Connecting multiple barrier islands and inlets at appropriate spatio-temporal scales is critical in developing an appropriately scoped sediment management plan for a barrier-inlet system. Evaluating sediment bypassing capacity and overall inlet morphodynamics can better inform regional sand sharing along barrier-inlet coastlines; particularly where sediment resources are scarce and a close coupling between inlet dredging and beach placement is vital to long-term sustainable management. Continued sea-level rise and anthropogenic activities may intensify the need for investigating longer-term processes and expanding regional planning at a centennial timescale and are acknowledged as challenging tasks for RSM studies. Specifically, we suggested that a regionally focused, multi-inlet study was necessary for management plan of individual inlet for the west-central Florida case studies. Key recommendations based on the case studies are included.

Modern reservoir simulation must handle complex compositional fluid behavior, orders-of-magnitude variations in rock properties, and large velocity contrasts. We investigate how one can use nonlinear domain-decomposition preconditioning to combine sequential and fully implicit (FI) solution strategies to devise robust and highly efficient nonlinear solvers. A full simulation model can be split into smaller subdomains that each can be solved independently, treating variables in all other subdomains as fixed. In subdomains with weaker coupling between flow and transport, we use a sequential fully implicit (SFI) solution strategy, whereas regions with stronger coupling are solved with an FI method. Convergence to the FI solution is ensured by a global update that efficiently resolves long-range interactions across subdomains. The result is a solution strategy that combines the efficiency of SFI and its ability to use specialized solvers for flow and transport with the robustness and correctness of FI. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method through a range of test cases, including both contrived setups to test nonlinear solver performance and realistic field models with complex geology and fluid physics. For each case, we compare the results with those obtained using standard FI and SFI solvers.

We introduce a quick and cost-effective method of estimating horizontal in-situ stress profiles and rock elastic moduli vs. depth from geophysical logs taken in vertical well sections. A multiobjective optimization approach finds the optimum solution for the inversion of in-situ stresses and the rock mechanical parameters from elastic borehole deformations measured by the commonly available four-arm caliper tools. The four-arm caliper log responses also permit quality control (QC) of input and identification and classification of borehole sections that display breakouts and sloughing. The method is applied in the estimation of horizontal in-situ stress profiles and rock deformation moduli vs. depth in Karamay Basin, Northwestern China. The results have demonstrated good agreement with available field in-situ stress measurements, indicating promising broader applications of the method.

As development practitioners, we must ensure that programs are implemented in such a way as to minimize gender-based violence risks for all participants. This involves understanding risk and prevention factors and implementing appropriate measures and resources to help mitigate these risks in order to guarantee that women’s economic empowerment programs give women the intended tools and opportunities without exposing them to violence. This guide is a tool for developing and implementing strategies to combat gender-based violence, and more specifically domestic violence. It is chiefly intended for economic development practitioners and contains five guidance notes on key subjects related to the prevention and mitigation of domestic violence in the field of women’s economic empowerment.

Published: September 2021

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the endometrial features (endometrial thickness(EMT), pattern and endometrium growth amplitude and rate) and the embryo stage transferred and ectopic pregnancy after IVF-ET based on the data of 628 matched cases. Methods: This was a 1:1 matched case-control study that enrolled 314 EP patients and 314 matched IUP patients from the ART center of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2014 to April 2020. Univariate analysis and multiple-stepwise logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of EP, and a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated to predict EP. Results: 1. The EP group had a higher cleavage stage embryo transfer rate(94.57% vs 86.22%), a thinner endometrium on transformation day (the day when progesterone was added in the frozen embryo cycle or the trigger day in the fresh embryo cycle) (9.40(2.60) mm vs 9.80(2.60)mm) compared with IUP group. In fresh embryo cycles, the EP group had a higher endometrium pattern C proportion on transformation day, a smaller endometrium increment, and a slower endometrial growth rate compared with the IUP group. 2.The ROC curves were used to analyze the cut-off values of the EMT on transformation day, the endometrial growth amplitude and rate in fresh cycles, the results were 9.35mm, 4.90mm and 0.491 mm/d, respectively. The incidence of EP was significantly different between groups according to cut-off values. 3. The transferred embryo stage and EMT on transformation day were independent factors affecting outcome in the general population. The area under the curve(AUC) of the EMT and the stage of embryos transferred for EP prediction was 0.604, sensitivity was 0.702, and specificity was 0.465. The EMT on trigger day was an independent factor affecting outcome in the fresh cycles. The AUC of the EMT for EP prediction in fresh cycles was 0.605, sensitivity was 0.805, and specificity was 0.420. Conclusions: 1. Transferring cleavage stage embryo , and thin EMT on the transformation day were risk factors for EP. 2. Thin EMT and pattern C on transformation day may be related to abnormal endometrial receptivity and endometrial peristaltic waves. 3.The combined indicator of EMT and embryonic development stage could not well predict the occurrence of EP after ET.
The Proliferation Rule of Microcystis Aeruginosa Under Different Initial pH Conditions and its Influence on the pH Value of the Environment

This study investigated the characteristics of the proliferation process of Microcystis aeruginosa and its changes to environmental pH values under different initial pH values and different initial inoculation densities. The results showed that although the initial pH value or the initial inoculation density was different, the pH values of the culture systems fluctuated up and down throughout the proliferation of M. aeruginosa, both on a daily and hourly time scale, and then tended to stabilize around the same value of 10.0 at the end of proliferation. The optimal pH value for the proliferation of M. aeruginosa was 9.56. This study creatively proposes that the period when the environmental pH value starts to rise rapidly toward 9.0 could be selected as an early warning period for a cyanobacterial outbreak, and the environmental pH value could be adjusted to below 8.0 to delay the outbreak. These results provide a scientific basis for further understanding the mechanism of cyanobacterial blooms and formulating pH-based control strategies.

Experimental analysis of viscosity can be a straightforward and inexpensive analysis for few samples. However, in industrial processes that have high demands of properties measurements, the determination of viscosity and other properties involves time-consuming with sampling, analysis and availability of results. Also in refineries, the sampling routines for experimental determination of the viscosity of streams are not enough to represent variations that occur in the process, such as the shift of an oil tank in distillation units. In addition, besides requiring cost of operating personnel and laboratory analyst, all of these steps can take up to one shift until the result is available. Therefore, as an alternative, the use of predictive methods of kinematic viscosity are essential. Empirical methods have been used in simulations and design calculations of streams and mixture at industries regarding kinematic viscosity (KV) of petroleum fractions and fuels at different temperatures. However, there are uncertainties about the most accurate method to use at specific condition (temperature, feedstock, volume fraction) which might affect the KV prediction of fuels with unknown composition. Therefore, we assembled and evaluated several methods to predict KV of different diesel systems. In addition, new methods for predicting KV of diesel fractions at several temperatures were also developed for improving the estimation accuracy. As a result, we developed a guide with suggestions of the most accurate models to be applied for diesel fraction from assays, diesel fractions S500 from blend system at several temperatures, and biodiesel-diesel blends at different temperatures, volume fractions and feedstock.

Published: September 2021

Background: Air pollution exposure has been associated with a multitude of diseases and poses a significant concern to public health. For targeted environmental risk communication and interventions to be effective, it is important to correctly identify characteristics associated with worry of harm from air pollution. Methods: Using responses from 3,630 participants of the Health Information National Trends Survey 4 Cycle 2, we assessed worry of harm from exposure to indoor (IAP) and outdoor (OAP) air pollution separately. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Results: Hispanics were more likely to worry about harm from IAP and OAP compared to non-Hispanic whites. Participants who lived in urban counties were more likely to worry about harm from IAP and OAP compared to those who lived in rural counties. Finally, those who believed their chance of getting cancer was high were more likely to worry about harm from IAP and OAP compared to those who thought their likelihood of getting cancer was low. Conclusions: Worry of harm from IAP and OAP varied across sociodemographic and cancer-related characteristics. Public health professionals should consider these characteristics when developing targeted environmental risk communication and interventions.
