Проблема Сократа : класичні стратегії розв’язання та їх аналітичні інтерпретації в дослідженнях К. Поппера та Г. Властоса.
Authors: Абдула Андрій
Published: December 2022

Проблема Сократа – одна з давніх філософських проблем. Сократа називають «засновником Західної філософії» та «першім справжнім філософом», але, можливо, той Сократ, якого ми знаємо, був лише літературним персонажем у діалогах Платона. Навіть його сучасники не могли однозначно відповісти на запитання «ким був Сократ насправді?» Три найближчих до нього античних автори, твори яких зберіглися – Арістофан, Ксенофонт та Платон, давали йому суперечливі характеристики, а більш пізні автори довільно використовували його образ.
Водночас, дослідники не полишали спроб відтворити «історичного Сократа». На кінець ХІХ ст. остаточно сформувались декілька стратегій щодо вирішення проблеми Сократа саме як історико-філософської та методологічної проблеми. На основі цих стратегій виникли їх сучасні інтерпретації як в аналітичній філософії так і за її межами.
В статті розглядаються основні підходи до вирішення сократівської проблеми, з урахуванням тих методологічних орієнтирів, які було вироблено протягом останнього часу: виокремлення літературно-контекстуального (герменевтичного) та аналітичного напрямків дослідження, унітарного та еволюційного підходів, історично зорієнтованого аналізу та ін.
Також акцентовано увагу на двох підходах, що представляють аналітичний напрямок і які можна розглядати в межах еволюціоністської парадигми щодо вирішення проблеми Сократа. Ці підходи поєднує як спільна методологічна настанова так і загальна тенденція щодо протиставлення портретів Сократа та Платона. Однак за філософською вагою і впливом ці підходи значно різняться.
Перший з цих підходів представлений в працях відомого британського філософа Карла Поппера, зокрема в його основоположній праці «Відкрите суспільство та його вороги». Поппер в цій праці приділив значну увагу постаті Сократа, протиставивши його Платону. Сократ для Поппера – представник відкритого, вільного суспільства, у той час, як Платон – «пророк» закритого суспільства. Розв’язання проблеми Сократа для К. Поппера – це філософське обґрунтування такого протиставлення, тому цій проблемі приділена значна увага.
Другий підхід репрезентує методологію, розроблену видатним американським істориком філософії Г. Властосом, яку характеризують як «аналітичний девелопменталізм». У цілому вона також спрямована на пошук аргументів на користь протиставлення філософії Сократа та філософії Платона. При цьому дослідження Властоса зосереджено переважно навколо питань історико-філософського змісту. Його концепція вважається однією з засадничих у цьому напрямку дослідження.
Functional properties of wheat-based bread affected by pumpkin flour and jackfruit seed flour incorporation
Authors: Minh Nguyen Phuoc
Published: December 2022

Pumpkin is a rich source of beta-carotenoid, a valuable pro-vitamin A known for maintenance of eye vision. Meanwhile jackfruit seed is also rich in carbohydrate however it is considered as waste product and normally discarded during jackfruit processing. The purpose of this research work was to utilize the valuable pumpkin flour as well as the cheap carbohydrate source from jackfruit seed flour in partial replacement with wheat flour to develop bread. The different blending formulations with 100% wheat flour, 90:5:5 (wheat :pumpkin :jackfruit seed flour), 80:10:10 (wheat :pumpkin :jackfruit seed flour), 70:15:15 (wheat :pumpkin :jackfruit seed flour) and 60:20:20 (wheat :pumpkin :jackfruit seed flour) were tested and their effect on the functional properties (moisture uptake ability, bulk density, bloating ratio, loaf climax, loaf dimension and hardness) of bread was investigated. Results showed that increasing the pumpkin flour and jackfruit seed flour incorporation in wheat flour increased the hardness but reduced the moisture uptake ability, bulk density, bloating ratio, loaf climax, and loaf dimension of bread. There was no significant difference between the control bread prepared using 100 % wheat flour in respect of functional properties. Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that 5% pumpkin flour and 5% jackfruit seed flour could be successfully supplemented in 90% wheat flour for bread making, while maintaining the the functional properties close to 100% wheat-based bread. Findings of this research facilitated the incorporation of the underutilized and valuable flour-based sources like pumpkin and jackfruit seed in bread making.

Authors: Reeder Nicole , Tolar-Peterson Terezie , Adegoye Grace A. , Dickinson Erin , McFatter Emily
Published: December 2022

Background: Peanuts and tree nuts contain many bioactive compounds that may provide health benefits. There is some evidence to suggest that regular consumption of peanuts and peanut butter may improve cognitive function and mood, however, there are no prior studies examining whether daily intake of dry roasted, skinless peanuts improves cognition. Objective:The objective of this study was to determine the effect of consuming 49 g/day of peanuts for 12 weeks on cognitive function and mental health, compared to consuming a peanut-free diet, among healthy young women. Methods:This was a pre-post test study of 65 women (n = 32 in peanut group, n = 29 in control group). Participants in the peanut group consumed an individually portioned pack of peanuts each day for 12 weeks. Cognitive function was assessed using the CNS Vital Signs computerized neurocognitive test battery. Mental health was assessed using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-42). Differences in endpoints between groups were assessed using ANCOVA tests. Results:There was a significant difference between the two groups in reaction time (6.9 points; p = 0.029), with the control group having a greater increase in scores. There was a significant within-group effect of peanuts on processing speed, with the peanut group increasing scores by 6.3 points (95% CI: 2.7, 9.8). There was no effect of peanut consumption on depression, anxiety, or stress scores. Conclusion:Further research is needed to fully understand the effect of different types of peanut products on cognition. Keywords: cognition, mental health, peanuts, nuts

Published: December 2022

The article discusses the history and stages of development of insurance education in Russia in comparison with the development of the insurance market in 1990–2020, determines the prospects and conditions for development of insurance education. The internal and external factors that influenced the direction and rate of the market of educational services development in the field of insurance are highlighted, the reasons for the creation and liquidation of specialized departments in Russian universities are analyzed. Based on the analysis of the Russian insurance market in 1990-2020, an understanding of the real and reported indicators of the insurance market is being formed, the differences in which caused at the first stage the creation of a significant number of insurance departments in Russian universities, not supported by a real need for specialists, and then the liquidation of the departments with the loss of the already established competencies for training insurance specialists. In the late 2010s, the modernization processes in the requirements for insurance organizations took place, the financial stability and solvency standards were being raised, mandatory actuarial valuation and new forms of financial reporting were being introduced that required specialized knowledge, basic and professional standards were being developed and adopted with the participation of self-regulatory organizations of insurers. All of that actualized the activities of specialized insurance departments based on the integration of professional requirements fixed in professional and basic standards, and educational standards, which should allow the implementation of economically successful undergraduate and master’s programs.The history of insurance departments in modern Russia may be of interest to researchers of the history of education in modern Russia, the origins and causes of the current state of the educational services market, periods of growth and decline in the number of active players. Based on the analysis of archival and current insurance development strategies, the article highlights the adopted basic and professional standards, prospects for the development of insurance departments, gives recommendations for interaction with professional participants of the insurance market. The revealed trends are also typical for other highly professional departments.
Integrating Critical Thinking into Digital Connectivism Theory: Omani Pre-service Teacher Development
Authors: Al-Maawali Wafa
Published: December 2022

The current study implements digital connectivism theory within an English language teaching (ELT) program—specifically for pre-service teachers—in order to evaluate teachers’ ability to generate teaching activities with Bloom’s taxonomy. Connectivism theory emphasizes the principle of connecting students in a network of cognitive processes which in turn can allow the transfer of information; yet it is unclear what students do if they were asked to evaluate, synthesize and analyse (the three higher order skills of Bloom's taxonomy) in connectivism learning approach. The methodology of the study is a case study conducted by means of clustered sampling on 54 teachers, who collaborated in 18 groups and were distributed between ten schools in one district of Oman. The participants were involved in critical thinking training, generating reflections, group discussions, and filling in a checklist. The results indicate a strong need for conceptualizing the principles of connectivism theory to provide a guideline for teachers and students. It is then concluded that the concept of mental “knowledge” is expanded when integrating connectivism and Bloom’s taxonomy in the ELT field. The study proposes pedagogical implications for ELT programs.

Examining the Dynamic Interplay of Motivation and Friendships within a Collegiate Extracurricular Activity in the U.S.: The Case of Marching Band
Authors: Vest Ettekal Andrea , Thompson Brittany , Kornienko Olga
Published: December 2022

Research links extracurricular activity (ECA) participation to developmental outcomes, yet little is known about social processes that occur within ECAs. We examine associations between motivation (intrinsic, extrinsic) and friendship processes (selection, influence) within a collegiate marching band in the US (n=193). Using social network analysis, we found evidence of selection, but not influence, on motivation. Selection findings differed by motivation type, such that extrinsic motivation was associated with increased friend nominations, whereas intrinsic motivation was associated with decreased nominations. Unexpected findings are explained by the context of this highly specialized ECA. Implications for supporting motivation in extended education settings are discussed.

Localization of Wall Climbing Robot on Cylinder-Shaped Steel
Authors: Zhang Wen , Huang Tianzhi , Sun Zhenguo
Published: December 2022

Due to the limitation of sensor application in special environment such as relatively closed and magnetic interference environment, the positioning and the heading angle errors of wall climbing robots accumulate with time. This paper proposes a difference projection localization method based on an external RGB-D camera and a robot-carried inertial measurement unit (IMU). We differential the depth image to obtain the distance change due to the robot occupancy. Then, the 3D point cloud information is converted into 2D image information by projecting the above distances along the normal vector of the robot chassis, which greatly speeds up the computational speed. The position of the robot is calculated by studying the statistical characteristics of the projection. Two EKFs are designed to estimate the attitude, taking the gravity vector and the normal vector of the robot chassis as observation. The experimental results show that the localization error of the wall climbing robot is within 0.017m, and the heading angle error of the attitude estimation is within 3.1∘. The obtained results prove its applicability in self-localization of the wall climbing robot.

Degradation-Oriented Adaptive Network for Blind Super-Resolution
Authors: Wang Shuo , Chen Lifang
Published: December 2022

Most of the super-resolution methods based on deep neural networks use a fixed image degradation model. However, when the real image degradation is inconsistent with the model assumptions, the performance of the network will be severely reduced. To address this issue, we propose a degradation-oriented adaptive network (DOANet), which can be used to solve multiple degradation super-resolution reconstruction. The network includes a degradation estimation network and an adaptive reconstruction network. The degradation estimation network extracts the abstract degradation of LR images using continuous residual blocks to provide necessary degradation information for reconstruction network. Then, the adaptive reconstruction network dynamically adjusts the parameters of the network layers based on the estimated degradation information using dynamic convolution and channel modulation to deal with various input images. Experimental results show that the proposed DOANet can cope well with multiple degradation and is superior to other recent blind methods in qualitative and quantitative comparison.
Three essays on assimilation and acculturation of international instructors at U.S. research universities
Authors:   , Pham Trang T.
Published: December 2022

This dissertation consists of three chapters that answer an overarching question: "How do foreign-born instructors assimilate and acculturate into U.S. academia as an immigrant-receiving environment?" Across the three chapters, quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed to study the situations of international instructors and understand their changes in behavioral patterns over time using different immigration theories. In the first chapter, using grading as a marker of assimilation, I examine the gap in grading behaviors between international and domestic instructors and how the gap changes over time. The second chapter studies the cultural determinants of the grading gap between international and domestic instructors, anchoring on home country characteristics as pre-migration factors. The third chapter broadens the theoretical basis of acculturation theory to explore the stories behind the behaviors of international graduate instructors as they start their teaching, as well as the acculturation of their instructor identity, in a U.S. public university.
What Is Probability of Detection?
Authors: Cherry Matthew , Knott Christine E.
Published: December 2022

Probability of detection (POD) evaluation is a widely accepted practice for quantifying the reliability of a nondestructive testing (NDT) technique. Inspections are often conceptualized and developed in laboratory environments, where factors affecting the inspection are highly controlled. However, when implemented in practice, NDT inspections suffer from many sources of variability, including changes from nominal geometry of the test piece, sensor variability, differences between operators, environmental effects on the sensor response including thermal and electromagnetic interference, and a myriad of other factors that are not present in the lab. Thus, to transition the NDT from the lab to production environments, engineers must have a quantified understanding of uncertainties. This is especially true for NDT systems that are implemented for safety-critical structures, where the life of the component may be managed with NDT. A fundamental question that must be answered in this context is: What is the largest discontinuity that could be missed when this NDT technique is implemented?

Authors:   Student Research Committee, Department of Reproductive Health and Midwifery, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran., Mousavi Seyedeh Robab , Amiri Farahani Leila ,   Nursing Care Research Center, Department of Reproductive Health and Midwifery, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Published: December 2022

Background: Childbirth preparation classes are among the most important components of pregnancy education. This pilot study was conducted to compare the level of satisfaction of pregnant women from holding childbirth preparation classes using two methods of virtual and in-person training. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental post-test pilot study that was performed on 30 nulliparous women in Milad Hospital affiliated with Iran’s Social Security Organization, Tehran, Iran from September 2019 to June 2020. The subjects were recruited by convenience sampling and then were assigned voluntarily to two groups of virtual (n=15) and in-person (n=15) training. Both groups received the same educational content on childbirth preparation at 20 to 37 weeks of pregnancy. The virtual educational content was designed based on Mayer’s multimedia principles and shared through the Telegram application. The courses were held in eight 2-hour sessions. The satisfaction questionnaire was completed by the participants at 36-38 weeks of pregnancy. The significance level was set at P≤0.05. Results: There was a significant difference between the total score of satisfaction with childbirth preparation courses between the virtual group compared to the in-person training group (P=0.028). Also, the results showed that the virtual group was able to significantly attract the spouse’s participation in accepting the role of parent compared to the in-person group (P=0.05). Also, 100% and 46.7% of the virtual and in-person groups, respectively, were completely satisfied with the way the educational content was presented (P<0.01). Conclusion: Considering the greater satisfaction of pregnant women with virtual training compared to in-person training and its important role in attracting the participation of the spouse and considering that in-person classes are held as a national routine, virtual classes are recommended to be held alongside in-person classes. It is also recommended to use a larger sample size and random allocation in future studies.

Background: To promote general health in patients with hepatitis, it is vital to develop effective interventions to improve the lifestyle of these patients. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) on the lifestyle of patients with hepatitis B. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest control group design. A sample of patients with chronic hepatitis B was selected from all patients visiting specialized clinics in Tehran -Iran in 2021. Thirty patients with hepatitis B were selected and randomly allocated to two experimental and control groups (15 patients per group). Eight sessions of group CBT (one 90-minute session per week for two months) were performed, and the post-test was then administered to both groups. The data was collected by the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II) and analyzed via the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and t-test in SPSS 26. Results: There was no significant difference between the lifestyle mean score of the groups in the pre-test stage. The mean post-test score of the experimental and control groups were 133.42±6.28 and 94.76±5.68 respectively (P<0.001). The group CBT increased health promoting lifestyle indicators, including health responsibility (P=0.029), physical activity (P=0.050), nutrition (P=0.045), spiritual growth (P=0.045), interpersonal relations (P=0.002), and stress management (P=0.001) in the patients with hepatitis B. Conclusion: The findings indicated the effectiveness of group CBT in improving the health-promoting lifestyle of patients with hepatitis B. CBT can thus be used by clinical psychologists and psychiatric nurses to promote a healthy lifestyle in these patients.

Background: The ability to create and maintain a satisfying relationship in the marital life requires an understanding of attachment styles, the family’s emotional atmosphere, recognizing and expressing mutual emotions, and understanding and accepting the spouse’s emotions. This study aimed to examine the role of family emotional atmosphere and attachment styles in predicting the alexithymia of married people. Methods: This predictive correlational study was conducted on a sample of married men and women with marital communication problems who were referred to counseling centers in District 2 of Tehran Municipality in 2021. The subjects included 400 married men and women who were selected by stratified proportional sampling. The data were collected by the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), the Family Emotional Climate Questionnaire, and the Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) and were analyzed using the correlation coefficient test and multiple regression analysis by SPSS software, version 22. Results: The results showed that secure and avoidant attachment styles were negatively correlated (r=0.38) with alexithymia. Furthermore, anxious/ambivalent attachment style was positively correlated with alexithymia (r=0.38). The family emotional atmosphere was negatively correlated with alexithymia (r=0.68) (P<0.01). Moreover, 46.6% of the variances in alexithymia were explained by family emotional atmosphere and attachment styles (R2=0.466). Conclusion: The findings revealed that alexithymia as a psychological construct could be predicted by the family’s emotional atmosphere and the attachment styles of married people. Thus, providing training on social skills and emotional expression helps married people to identify positive and negative emotions and the inability to recognize their partner’s feelings

The relevance of the given study is justified by the examination of the English language from the perspective of contact variantology and in the context of gradually emerging new version of English – Euro-English. The aim of the presented work is to consider the socio-political prerequisites for the strengthening of the English language role for intra-European communication, as well as to try to explain the significance of Brussels for this process. 

Methodology and sources. Scientific publications of domestic and foreign linguists, sociolinguists (D.S. Borodina, Z.G. Proshina, B. Kachru, D. Crystal, E. Edwards), as well as interviews with European politicians and public figures (Michel Guerin, Pascal Smet, Sven Gatz) all comprise the research material. The method of synthesis and analysis, descriptive method, comparative language analysis is used in the process of work on this article. 

Results and discussion. The widespread usage of English in Europe has led to the creation of several mixed language variants and intra-European communication in English gives the latter the status of a supranational communication language. Belgium is seen as the center for the formation of this new language variant, which is explained by the representation of a significant number of international organizations and corporations in Brussels. In the context of the competition between French and Dutch, the difficult linguistic situation in Belgium finds a peculiar resolution in the regular use of English which some activists propose to make the third official language of the Brussels-Capital Region. Euro-English has already acquired several characteristic lexical, morphosyntactic and phonetical features, whilst the withdrawal of Great Britain from the European Union has provided serious possibilities for Euro-English to continue its formation as an independent language variant free from “care” and control of English native speakers. 

Conclusion. The existence of the English language variants involves the preservation of uniqueness for each nation where these are used, as well as the enrichment of the language from which these variants are derived from. Gradual formation of Euro-English confirms the presence of high number of professional and everyday communications under which the representatives of various European nations find common language – and that is English.
Regional “sociology without sociologists” in the Middle Volga Region in the Soviet Period
Authors: Kildeev M. V.
Published: December 2022

Introduction. The article analyzes circumstances of the emergence of regional sociology in the Soviet era. To describe this phenomenon, the author applies the concept of “sociology without sociology”. This idiom means scientific and sociological activity without the participation of the professional sociological community and describes this multivariate and non-linear process. The author also describes the reasons of existence of “sociology without sociologists” in Soviet and then in Russian social sciences. 

Methodology and sources. The category “sociology without sociologists”, used by R. Ahlberg, N. Werth, and J. Matthes describes the abnormal state of science. In addition, the author uses the concept of “public sociology” by M. Burawoy to determine the vectors of evolution of Soviet and Russian regional sociology. The main research method is the analysis of documentary sources of the Soviet era. Also new, previously unexplored archival documents have been introduced into scientific circulation. 

Results and discussion. The studied issue is examined on the ground of mass surveys of the state of religiosity of the population, which were initiated and carried out by the party bodies of the Tatarstan ASSR and Kuybishev area in 1964–1966. The results of those amateurish surveys served as a foundation for the development of sociology in the region. The article shows that throughout the existence of the “legal” regional sociology, in parallel with it, there were various forms of “sociology without sociologists”. The specificity of the Soviet period was that the existence of “sociology without sociologists” met the expectations of some CSPU circles, responsible for ideology tasks.

Conclusion. The application of the category "sociology without sociologists" is of great importance for the implementation of the demarcation of scientific and non-scientific forms of social knowledge.
