Social and Humanitarian Grounds of Criteria for Assessment of Digital Technology Innovations: An Analysis of International Standardization Experience
Authors: Slavin Boris B.
Published: November 2022

This research discusses the social and humanitarian grounds of measurement and assesment of innovations in the field of digital technologies based on the analysis of the international experience of the standards, in particular on the basis of the Oslo Manual issued by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which is the foundation for ISO standards. From the point of view of digitalization, an important stage in understanding innovation is the recognition of innovation not only as a product, but also a process that leads to increased efficiency. Most of the tasks in the field of digital technologies are precisely related to increasing the efficiency of processes, and, consequently, digitalization is becoming an important criterion for the innovativeness of organizations. One of the purposes of digital technologies is the integration of various types of activities, therefore integrative development (including using digital platforms) is also a criterion of innovation. The digital format is unique since it allows to gain new knowledge from data analysis and processes, and therefore the analytical component, including artificial intelligence technologies, is also an indicator of innovation. The article concludes that the criteria for the innovativeness of digital technologies should include their use to improve the efficiency of organizations, to adopt communicative digital platforms, and to create a variety of data analysis tools, including artificial intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence: The Opacity of Concepts in the Uncertainty of Realities
Authors: Ageev Alexander I.
Published: November 2022

The development of the systems of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation in general lead to the formation of multitude of autonomous agents of artificial and mixed genealogy, as well as to complex structures in the information and regulatory environment with many opportunities and pathologies and a growing level of uncertainty in making managerial decisions. The situation is complicated by the continuing plurality of understanding of the essence of AI systems. The modern expanded understanding of AI goes back to ideas formulated more than 100 years ago. In official national policy documents on the development of AI, working definitions of AI are preferred. The current stage of AI systems life cycle can be assessed as the completion of the initial period in the development of systems associated with weak AI. The ability of artificial systems to realize themselves as a separate person becomes one of the serious scientific and practical challenges. Attention to the issues of the ethics of AIS indicates the expansion of the diversity of its forms and the beginning of the work in the field of goal-setting. New moral and ethical problems also arise in connection with the possibility of the creation of genuine conscious subjects in the foreseeable future. There is an increasing phenomenon of degradation of natural intelligence. It is required to take into account the issue of the heterogeneity of data generated by humans, electronic sensors and network devices in the dynamic complex environments of the digital economy, the issue of the complexity of the process of co-evolution of AI systems, collective and individual natural consciousness. A special area of opportunities and risks is the development of neurotechnologies. The object of control is digital twins, through which there can be manipulation of real attitudes, preferences, and behavior of individuals. As a result, there are the development of technological capabilities that provoke destructive phenomena as well as the formation of a new class of mass addictions.

Fossilisation as a Bilingual Phenomenon of Foreign Language Acquisition among Students of a Non-Linguistic University
Authors: Starinina Olga Victorovna
Published: November 2022

The research aims to substantiate the need to increase the level of bilingualism among students of non-linguistic universities in order to improve their communication skills. The paper analyses the phenomenon of language fossilisation, namely the ingraining of errors and their transformation into a stable speech habit of a student; presents the essence of bilingualism; characterises its types; determines the level of formation of the three types of bilingualism among students of a non-linguistic university: subordinate bilingualism, medial (mixed) bilingualism and coordinate bilingualism. Scientific novelty of the research lies in developing criteria for determining the types of bilingualism among students of non-linguistic universities. As a result, it has been proved that the level of foreign language proficiency for the majority of the students, despite their having spent a long time learning the language (8-10 years), has stopped at the phase of medial (mixed) bilingualism. Thus, the process of language fossilisation is observed, which means that there is a need to integrate foreign language teaching methodologies into the educational process contributing to the blocking of fossilisation and formation of a linguistic personality freely participating in foreign language communication.

Authors: Atta Seth Amoako , Bonyah Ebenezer
Published: November 2022

Teaching mathematics as a STEM subject in this 21st century must be challenging enough to inspire learning, especially in the basic schools. This also depends on the pedagogical content knowledge and skills of the teachers handling the subject. Therefore, there is a need to design modern instructional strategies for training future teachers handling the pupils at the primary schools. Flipped classroom approach is one of the emerging pedagogical strategies that has proven to be very efficacious in teaching almost all subjects. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the impact of flipped classrooms as a pedagogy in equipping the pre-service teachers with the knowledge and concepts of plane geometry, which happens to be one of the main branches of mathematics. A sample of 101 basic school pre-service teachers was purposively sampled for the study. A pre- and post-test design were used to gather quantitative data for analysis using a quasi-experimental approach. Based on the analysis of the results, the null hypothesis was rejected since there was a statistically significant difference in the pre-service teachers’ performance before and after the intervention. The study concluded that there was an improvement in performance due to the intervention. Therefore, the researcher recommends the flipped classroom approach as a formidable pedagogy for teaching pre-service teachers.

Contaminación ambiental por plásticos durante la pandemia y sus efectos en la salud humana
Authors: Prieto-Ortiz Robin Germán
Published: November 2022

La historia del plástico se remonta a mediados del siglo XIX, y se considera que se origina por el interés de cambiar la materia prima en la fabricación de las bolas de billar, hechas originalmente en marfil. Desde entonces y a lo largo de muchos años, el polietileno, cloruro de polivinilo, poliestireno, polimetilmetacrilato, polietilentereftalato (PET), las poliamidas y otras sustancias similares han formado parte del día a día de la humanidad, a tal punto que algunos expertos en el tema consideran que estamos viviendo “La era del plástico”.
Todos los insumos y elementos plásticos han facilitado la vida, pero también han causado una gran contaminación ambiental que afecta la fauna, la flora y por supuesto al ser humano. La gran mayoría de los países han comprendido esta situación y han promulgado leyes o diseñado estrategias con el fin de contener el uso inadecuado y la generación de la contaminación causada por el plástico.
Muchas de estas medidas han sido frenadas e incluso revertidas debido a la pandemia por COVID-19, que además de todas las afectaciones conocidas, ha causado un desmesurado incremento en el uso de materiales plásticos, como los elementos de protección personal, con el consecuente aumento de la contaminación y los riesgos que esta genera en la salud humana. Estos temas son tratados en este artículo, con el fin de concientizar al personal médico y a la población en general.

Published: November 2022

Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first discovered at the end of 2019 in Wuhan, China.  The virus attacks the respiratory system with pneumonia-like symptoms. This virus is classified as a new virus so it does not have an antidote and has spread throughout the world until it is out of control. There are more than 200 countries reporting covid-19 cases including Indonesia. Because the biggest effect of COVID-19 is death, so researchers need to predict whether the mortality rate of COVID-19 patients. One method for predicting covid-19 patients who died in East Java is using the spline truncated regression method. Spline regression is a regression analysis that is able to estimate data that does not have a specific pattern and has a tendency to seek data estimates fro, the formed pattern on its own, while truncated is a function that can be interpreted as a function of slice. And produces a GCV value of 51.0167, a MAPE value 47.0096, MSE 32.9825, and R-Sq 0.9998. Based on the MAPE value, the prediction model is said to be still reasonable.

Published: November 2022

The article considers the concept of «psychological well-being of the individual», theoretical approaches to its understanding: hedonistic, eudomonistic and integrative. An attempt has been made to determine the components of the psychological well-being of the individual, objective and subjective indicators and factors that determine it. Emphasis is placed on the concept of «psychological state». The psychological well-being of the individual is defined as an integrated, fairly stable psychological state, which is manifested in the experience of life satisfaction and a sense of fullness of their own functioning. It is noted that in the structure of the psychological well-being of the individual a significant place is occupied by the subjective attitude, ie the attitude of the individual to himself, other people, his own life, future. To a large extent, the attitude determines the assessment of phenomena and events of life, the way of reacting and interpreting the experience. The significance of the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine as a hyper-stress factor that negatively affects the mental health and psychological well-being of people is analyzed. The dynamics of a person's emotional response to war, negative emotional and other psychological consequences of experiencing war events are described. Possible positive psychological changes that can occur in a person as a result of a traumatic event are described, in particular, such as «post-traumatic growth». The essence of the process of post-traumatic growth of personality is revealed. An analytical comparison of the results of psychological research on the state of psychological well-being of students of vocational (vocational) education institutions of Chernihiv region this year and the previous year is presented. There was some increase in the level of psychological well-being of young people. It was found that young people are more likely to experience positive emotions from ordinary things, see more reasons for joy in everyday life, became more optimistic about their future, increased social support, improved self-esteem, but decreased ability to set goals, which is manifested in difficulties in planning life, a vague vision of distant life prospects.

Differential expression of CCBE1 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines ALS using published data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of CCBE1, encoding collagen- and calcium-binding EGF domains 1, in the iPSC-derived primary motor neurons of patients with ALS. CCBE1 was also differentially expressed in the skeletal muscle of patients with ALS. CCBE1 transcript was present at lower levels in iPSC-derived ALS patient motor neurons as compared to control motor neurons. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of ALS.
Linear Endovenous Energy Density (LEED) Should Always be Quoted with the Power Used, in Endovenous Thermal Ablation - Results from an In-Vitro Porcine Liver Model Study.
Authors: Nielsen Amanda G , Croucher Alexandra A , Muschamp Simon D , Losty Ethan , Worthington Thomas , Kiely Melissa J , Whiteley Mark Steven
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Endovenous thermal ablation (EVTA) is the first line treatment of symptomatic truncal venous reflux. Linear Endovenous Energy Density (LEED) is the measure of energy used per cm of treated vein. The rate of application of energy influences thermal spread and tissue damage. However, time is absent from LEED. The aim of this study was to test the effect of time during EVTA in a validated in-vitro model.Methods: We used a bipolar radofrequency catheter and the previously validated porcine liver model to assess any thermal effects. We used combinations of power and pullback speeds giving LEEDs of 40, 60, 80 and 100 J/cm. High-resolution digital images of the ablation tracts were taken. Each setting was repeated 5 times. Thermal spread was measured using digital measuring software, tissue carbonisation assessed by a defined scale and any device-tissue sticking during treatment was recorded.Results: LEED was significantly positively correlated to thermal spread (r(20) = .86, P < .00001) and carbonisation of the tissue (r(24) = .82, p < .00001). Power was significantly correlated with carbonisation (r(24) = .50, p = .009) but not with thermal spread (r(20) = .34, p = .121). Pullback had no significant correlations with thermal spread or carbonisation. Catheter sticking was only found when the power was >= 15 W or the LEED was >= 80 J/cm.Conclusion: LEED is a good measure of EVTA but does not take into account the time of energy application to tissue. Power, which does include time, has a significant correlation with tissue carbonisation, and is also important in device-tissue sticking. Pullback has no significant correlation to any tissue effects. Quoting the LEED alone in reporting EVTA is inadequate. It is essential to include the power used when LEED is quoted.

Managing the century of complexity: origins, evolution and productive future avenues with systems thinking
Authors: Angelov Boyan
Published: November 2022

Progress in human society's technological and social development has come at the cost of staggering complexity. Understanding this complexity's origin, evolution, and consequences is essential for human managers to lay the groundwork for reducing it in their work. Examples from the war in Afghanistan (2011-2021) and Pleistocene Park in northern Siberia support a recommended systems thinking framework and associated skills.
The near-miss to cross-modal commutativity
Authors: Heller Jürgen
Published: November 2022

This paper is a follow-up on Ellermeier, Kattner & Raum (2021, Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 83 , 2955 2967), and provides a reanalysis of their data on cross modal commutativity, which is based on Bayesian tests as well as a theory-based analysis grounded on a recently suggested extension of a global psychophysical approach to cross-modal judgments (Heller, 2021, Psychological Review, 128, 509-524). This theory assumes that stimuli are judged against respondent-generated internal references which are modality-specific and potentially role-dependent (i.e., sensitive to whether they pertain to the standard or the variable stimulus in the performed cross-modal magnitude production task). While the Bayesian tests turn out to be inconclusive, the theory-based analysis reveals a massive and systematic role dependence of internal references. This leads to predicting small, but systematic deviations from cross modal commutativity which are in line with the observed data. In analogy to a term coined in the context of Weber’s law this phenomenon is referred to as a near miss to cross-modal commutativity.
A cognitive-computational account of mood swings in adolescence

Teenagers have a reputation for being fickle, both in their choices and in their moods. This variability may help adolescents as they begin to independently navigate novel environments. Recently, however, adolescent moodiness has also been linked to psychopathology. Here we consider adolescents’ mood swings from a novel computational perspective, grounded in Reinforcement Learning. This model proposes that mood is determined by surprises about outcomes in the environment, and how much we learn from these surprises. It additionally suggests that, in a bidirectional manner, mood biases learning and choice. Integrating independent lines of research, we sketch a cognitive-computational account of how adolescents’ mood, learning, and choice dynamics influence each other, with implications for normative and psychopathological development.
Corporate Pay-out Policy and Test of Life Cycle Theory; Evidence from Nepalese Commercial Banks
Authors: Dhungana Ajaya , Devkota Tej Prasad
Published: November 2022

Dividend policy of firm in theoretical finance is one of the most controversial issue, various theories of dividend policy try to explain the dividend behaviour of the firm. The dividend distributed by a firm to its shareholder is very different when it is viewed from the perspective of the company’s life cycle. If no regulation forces, then firms at initial stage have higher investment opportunities, so they retain all their earning and pay no dividend. The firms at maturity stage have less investment opportunities, slow pace of growth rate and lower cost of raising external capital, hence, mature firms retain less and pays higher dividend. Life cycle hypothesis suggests that firm increases their dividend with their maturity. This study investigates the dividend behaviour of Nepalese commercial banks, by using the ten years panel data for the period from 2010 to 2019. Using conventional proxies of life cycle, the result of the study consistently shows that Nepalese listed commercial bank follow dividend life cycle theory. The result also shows that larger firms pay higher dividend and dividend history has positive relation with next period dividend payment. The result is robust and such robustness check has been conducted by altering some of the proxies of the variables. The result of the study suggest that the regulators should not impose same dividend policy to the entire banking industry.

Green human resource management practices have practically produced positive results for the environment. This arises as many organisational goals have been required to prioritise environmental problems and organisational sustainability due to emerging global environmental concerns. This does not suggest that the organisation should be painted green, but rather that the initiatives adopted by organisations in a specific sector are environmentally conscious of achieving required behavioural dispositions. But this may not be achieved without consistent work motivation. Hence, this research investigated the mediating effects of work motivation on Green HRM and employees’ behavioural outcomes in Nigeria's manufacturing industry. The Stakeholders’ theory was adopted for this study and it assumes that stakeholders have the power to persuade organisations to adopt environmental practices that result in better environmental outcomes. A descriptive survey research design was adopted to explain the mediating effect of work motivation on Green HRM and employees’ behavioural outcomes. An online questionnaire was employed and distributed to the selected manufacturing firms in Nigeria. This study focused on five (5) different manufacturing firms selected based on their performance, reputation, overall assets and ranking. The data for the study were analysed and presented using SPSS and SEM-PLS (Structural equation method). The findings indicated that motivation, to a great extent, mediates green HRM and employees’ behavioural outcomes. Additionally, the findings made it possible for Nigerian manufacturing companies to prioritize green HRM methods in order to boost employee motivation and reinforced behaviour. Based on the findings, it was proposed that managers in the sampled Nigerian manufacturing sector make an effort to give employees' participation in green activities to measure and evaluate organisational performance. Also, while embracing green HRM practices, the management of the Nigerian manufacturing sector should inspire their members of staff.
