Flow Simulation Using 2D Hydrodynamic Model at the Palu Estuary Based on National DEM (DEMNAS) Source Data
Authors: Ishak Muh. Galib , Tunas I Gede , Herman Rudi , Setiyawan  , Arafat Yassir
Published: December 2021

2D hydrodynamic simulation is very important to be performed to interpret the flow characteristics of a river segment. The success of this simulation is determined not only by the input boundary data, but also by the quality of the data used to create the geometry model, such as terrestrial survey data, digital elevation model (DEM) or data from other sources. This paper aims to assess the use of National DEM data (DEMNAS) as the basis for constructing a 2D geometry model for flow simulation in the downstream segment of the Palu River, Sulawesi, Indonesia. The simulation results using this DEM were compared with simulations based on geometry generated from terrestrial survey data. The hourly observation discharge data at Point P3 and tidal observation data at Point P1 in the period March 17th – 18th, 2021 were assigned as the inputs at the upstream and downstream boundaries, respectively. The performance of the two model scenarios was evaluated by comparing the water surface elevation observed and simulated during the time range at Point P2 using the efficiency of Nash–Sutcliffe (NSE). The simulation results show that the two geometry-forming data provide different performance against NSE. The terrestrial survey data shows a fairly good performance, while the DEMNAS data indicates a poor performance with a negative NSE. Based on the NSE of these two scenarios, it can be interpreted that the DEMNAS data is still not sufficient to construct the model geometry for the case in this area. This is not only related to the DEMNAS resolution, especially the vertical resolution, but is also related to the very low topographical slope in the estuary of the river. However, the use of these data in areas of higher slope can be re-evaluated.

In 2019, the Earthquake Commission (EQC) New Zealand with a stake to raise awareness of natural disasters and their impacts, commissioned the LEARNZ1 Our Supervolcanoes virtual field trip (VFT) to teach about volcanoes around Lake Taupō in Aotearoa New Zealand. The involvement of kaupapa Māori researchers in the project facilitated an authentic opportunity to develop bicultural educational resources. We share insights from this collaboration that can inform the engagement process with local iwi. The key findings from this study can support teachers, researchers, and scientists willing to collaborate in culturally appropriate ways when engaging with local iwi leaders for the development of bicultural educational resources through an authentic partnership approach. These findings can serve as good practices when engaging with the local iwi for development of bicultural educational resources.
Wojna bezsilnych. Niekończąca się historia
Authors: Dauksza Agnieszka
Published: December 2021

Tekst dotyczy ludzi bezsilnych podczas II wojny: ofiar, cywili, wykluczonych, chorych, okaleczonych, starych, uwięzionych itd. Autorka rekonstruuje też mechanizmy powojennego traktowania ludzi bezsilnych – ich ponowną stygmatyzację. Wskazuje, że zarówno praktyki polityczno-społeczne, jak i badania nad wojną i Zagładą od kilkudziesięciu lat skupiają się przede wszystkim na historii heroicznej, czyli bohaterach, zwycięstwach, przewadze militarnej, sprawcach i ich niszczycielskiej aktywności oraz na aktywnych świadkach, którzy składają zeznania. Autorka postuluje zwrot ku innym jednostkom, bezradnym, bezczynnym, słabym, nieheroicznym, podlegającym cudzym decyzjom. Opowieść o nich ukazuje inne wymiary II wojny i skłania do reinterpretacji europejskiej polityki historycznej, także współczesnej.

Colloidal quantum dots of indium antimonide have been synthesized by a known technique. The shape and average diameters of quantum dots have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy using a transmission microscope. Controlling the size and shape of colloidal QDs provides information on the formation of the crystal structure of nanoparticles and their possible physical and optical properties. It has been found that InSb quantum dots are characterized by a polygonal shape. The results obtained for QDs correspond to the crystal lattice system of a semiconductor with a cubic crystal lattice structure. Elemental analysis of nanoparticles has been monitored by X-ray microanalysis. The experimental determination error was no more than one percent. The percentages of indium and antimony in QDs according to X-ray microanalysis data corresponded to the theoretical stoichiometry In: Sb = 1:1. Impurities of other elements constituted the level of trace amounts, which confirmed the chemical purity of the synthesized InSb QDs. The fluorescent properties of indium antimonide nanoparticles have been studied. It has been found that the luminescence intensity of InSb nanoparticles at room temperature is insignificant, which is in agreement with the literature data. The quantum yield does not exceed 1%, and the luminescence maximum lies in the range of 1040 nm.

We investigate the possibility of reusing CTAB solutions for repeated synthesis of gold nanorods. Three tasks have been solved. The first task is to clean the growth solutions from gold nanorods. The second task is to develop a method using a purified cetyltrimethylammonium bromide solution for repeated synthesis of gold nanorods with the same optical properties as in the initial synthesis. The third task is to test the possibility of management of the optical properties of nanorods during repeated synthesis. The polydispersity of nanorods has been estimated by form factor using developed mathematical model.

Doubt as a mechanism of the change of epistemic states (on the materials of the philosophy of pragmatism and neuropsychology)
Authors:   Lobachevsky State University of Nizhni Novgorod, Golubinskaya Anastasia V.
Published: December 2021

Science has not yet found a solution to the question of how cognitive mechanisms, which are crucial for the subjective processes of evaluating the reliability of information and doubt, are arranged. This ability is usually associated with both the pragmatic consequences of accepting a belief and the material substance of consciousness. In this article, the author proposes to compare one of the largest conceptions of doubt in philosophy, the pragmatic conception, with the theory of false tags, which was presented in the last decade by the neuropsychologist E. Asp in order to explain the phenomena of doubt. The article presents the theoretical aspects of both conceptions, which allows to derive the properties of doubt as an epistemic state, that is, the state of the subject’s cognitive reality, formed under the influence of external (situational, pragmatic) and internal (neuropsychological) factors. The results of the study presented in the article allow us to conclude the possibility of an interdisciplinary approach in further studies of human cognitive activity as a mechanism of various epistemic states. It is concluded that doubt itself is not one of these states, but is a secondary psychological act that ensures the transition from one epistemic state to another. This offers an alternative view to the approach established in philosophy, in which doubt precedes the fact of accepting knowledge and is an essential stage of the cognitive process.
Historical-philosophical views of V. I. Zasulich (On the example of the work “Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The experience of characteristics of his social ideas”)
Authors:   Penza State University, Martynova Olga A.
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the work of the Russian revolutionary, writer and Marxist theorist V. I. Zasulich. The subject of consideration is the historical and philosophical views of the thinker, which are analyzed on the basis of her study devoted to the work of J.-J. Rousseau – “Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The experience of characteristics of his social ideas”, which previously remained almost without the attention of researchers. The purpose of the work is to analyze the basic principles of the approach of V. I. Zasulich to the study of philosophical thought: the desire to recreate the historical situation and the mental situation, the focus on the selection of socio-political and ideological determinants of the views of a particular thinker, the selection of unique and innovative thoughts compared to contemporaries and predecessors, the influence of the thinker on contemporaries and descendants. The research methodology is the system analysis, and reconstruction of the works by V. I. Zasulich on the problems of research. The work of V. I. Zasulich is a full-fledged scientific research: it analyzes the works of the thinker, refers to other researchers of his work. It identifies the determinants of the direction of his works, the thinker’s innovation and contribution to philosophy, as well as his influence on the further development of spiritual life, that is, adheres to the Marxist methodology of historical and philosophical research (and largely forms this methodology for Russian scientists).
Genesis of Russian religious philosophy of the Slavophiles A. S. Khomyakov and I. V. Kireevsky
Authors:   Tambov State University named after G. R. Derzhavin, Shcherbakov Vitaly Yu.
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the philosophical, religious and world views of A. S. Khomyakov and I. V. Kireevsky. Based on the analysis of the authors’ creative and epistolary heritage, the authors show the ambiguity of their judgment from the point of view of Orthodox theology. The hermeneutic method allowed the author to analyze the primary sources of A. S. Khomyakov and I. V. Kireevsky, their contemporaries and followers from the point of view of Orthodox theology to determine the degree of their compliance with Orthodox doctrine. The purpose of the work is to compare the creative heritage of the founders of the religious and philosophical movement of the Slavophiles A. S. Khomyakov and I. V. Kireevsky. This is a new look at the formation of the religious and philosophical worldviews of A. S. Khomyakov and I. V. Kireevsky. The strongest sides of A. S. Khomyakov are the following: he presents the Church as a single moral union of those who preach the teachings of Christ, based on love for their neighbor. Rationalism is not conducive to the establishment of faith, and everyone who is separated from the Church does not have love. I. V. Kireevsky, on the other hand, followed the path of knowledge of Roman philosophy and its influence on the formation of Western theology; analysis and conclusions in assessing the development of theology in Russia and Europe; negative effect of ritualism on the worldview of true Orthodoxy in Russia.
Philosophical foundation of the peculiarities of social technologies in a social policy area
Authors:   Nizhegorodskiy Institute of Management – branch of Russian Presidential Academy of National Economics and Public Administration, Shchetinina Ol’ga V.
Published: December 2021

Socio-philosophical content of the term “social policy”, its difference from the definition of “political economics” and also some features of technologies in a social area are described and analyzed in the article. The author distinguishes between the concepts of “labor” and “social labor activity” (deiatel’nost’). Using the concept of philosophy of a name developed by A. F. Losev, the definition of the "ideal" (“ideal’noe”) considered by E. V. Il’enkov, and A. V. Dakhin’s definition of “socio-historical memory” the author gives the definition of social policy that is understood as social labor activity (deiatel’nost’) of a man. This definition is focused on the ideas of safety and the development of essential forces of a personality-and-society, which relates to a name of a personality, to a name of a social community, to a name of a man as the complete form of social being, that contains concrete knowledge, experience, attitudes etc. as forms of social existence. The author shows that some aspects of technologies analysis in the social area give reasons to conclude: as distinct from more popular deserted technologies of commodity industry, the social policy area is in need to use another type of algorithms of social labor activity, – these are people intensive (chelovekoеmkie) technologies, the main peculiarities of which are described in the article. Main fields of social labor activity (deiatel’nost’) where people intensive technologies are reasonable to be used include pedagogical, medical, organizational ones etc.
The first Saratov professor of psychology A. A. Krogius: On the 150th anniversary of the scientist
Authors:   Saratov State Law Academy, Yuzhaninova Alla L.
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the 150th anniversary of the outstanding scientist of the XX century A. A. Krogius (1871–1933), who was at the origin of Russian experimental psychology and pedology in the early 1900s, the founder of Russian typhlopsychology. Krogius was a European-famous psychologist and worked for 12 years (1919–1931) at the Saratov University, becoming the first professor of psychology in Saratov. The article considers the features of the appearance of a successful petersburgian Krogius in provincial Saratov in 1919, presents the specifics of his work at the Saratov University, analyzes the discrepancies that appeared in the Saratov period of the scientist’s life between the principles of Soviet psychology that were being formed at that time and the methodology of Krogius’ research. Using the example of his fate and the biographical method, as well as the psychological analysis of documentary sources, newspaper articles, letters, diary entries, the author showed the peculiarities of development in the 1920s and 1930s both Russian and regional Saratov psychology, associated with the rejection of the previous scientific traditions formed in domestic psychology as part of European and world science, and the process of formation of a new Soviet psychology, sometimes associated with the destruction of the specific destinies of its participants.

One of the main consequences of globalization is development of cross-border trade of goods, work and services, emergence of multinational enterprises operating on the territory of two or more jurisdictions. Taxation of multinational enterprises is always controversial taking into consideration seeking of balance of public and private interests which involves taxpayer’s desire to decrease the amount of payable taxes and reverse governmental interest in obtainment of the full amount of the tax revenue. The article covers and differentiates the main models of taxpayer’s behavior aimed at reducing the amount of payable taxes: tax evasion, tax planning and aggressive tax planning, the harm caused by these activities to governmental budget revenues. The article deals with Russian and foreign legal framework and practice of each of the abovementioned legal phenomenon, highlighted the necessity of statutory recognition in the Russian Federation of the term “tax planning” and its principles to define its limits clearly. The article outlines different approaches to the term “aggressive tax planning” and the limits of this term, importance of cooperation among jurisdictions and information exchange to detect and give appropriate legislative and administrative responses for aggressive tax planning schemes.

Spinocerebellar ataxias or SCAs, are a group of more than 37 genetically and clinically heterogeneous known neurodegenerative diseases. This work analyzes the level of genetic similarity between several ataxias, we identified proteins that are associated with more than one ataxia. A decision tree was trained to identify ataxias by identifying whether a new entry disease not yet identified and not classified can be grouped as an ataxia. Altogether 12 proteins from different ataxias were verified, all 12 proteins were analyzed in 500 different trees to better evaluate the method used. Of the 12 proteins tested, the method was correct for 10 different proteins or 83% of correct results. This identifier and the results obtained in the experiments allow a greater characterization of the diseases addressed, it also allows applications such as the reuse of treatments for similar diseases.

A new spectrophotometric method is described for determination of irbesartan, losartan and bisoprolol in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms using insitu generated bromine as oxidizing agent and rhodamine B as chromogenic agent. Drugs are treated with known excess of bromine and residual unreacted bromine is determined by treating with fixed amount of rhodamine B then measuring absorbance at 557nm. The amount of bromine reacted corresponds to the amount of each drug. Effect of acidity, bromate-bromide volume and reaction time, on the absorption were studied. Calibration curves were linear over ranges of and for irbesartan, losartan, and bisoprolol, respectively. The method was satisfactory applied for the determination of drugs in both bulk and pharmaceutical forms and results were compared statistically with reference methods.
Analysis of the consistency of information received from Alzheimer’s disease patients and their families in the quality of life and depression scales
Authors: BİZPINAR MUNİS Özlem , PARLAK Mümüne Merve , KÖSE Ayşen
Published: December 2021

Aim: This study aimed to examine the consistency of quality of life and depression scales using information obtained from

individuals with Alzheimer disease (AD) and the family members of these patients.

Material and Methods: Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score was ≥14 points patients who were diagnosed with

AD (n:86) and their families(n:86) participated in the study. All individuals took the Geriatric Depression Scale Short Form

(GDS-SF), Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) and World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument Elderly Module

Turkish Version (WHOQOL-OLD). Data obtained from 78 patients and their relatives who have completed all of the

questions in the scales were evaluated. Patient and family scale scores were compared using correlation analysis and

difference analysis.

Results: A moderate to very high correlation was found between the GDS-SF, NHP, and WHOQOL results of the patients

and their relatives (0.447-0.848). It was detected that while NHP correlation coefficients varied between 0.734 and 0.848,

WHOQOL-OLD correlation coefficients varied between 0.447 and 0.696. When the difference between the scores of the

answers given by the patient and his family was examined, a statistically significant difference was found only in the mean

scores of NHP sleep, WHOQOL sensory ability, WHOQOL social participation and WHOQOL raw (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: In conclusion, NHP, GDS-SF, and WHOQOL-OLD consistency between the individual with AD diagnosis and

their family. However, if information is to be obtained from the patient in evaluating the quality of life, choosing NHP

instead of WHOQOL-OLD may lead to more accurate results.
Przemoc, peryferie i dzikość natury. Obraz wsi w Malowanym ptaku Jerzego Kosińskiego
Authors: Kępiński Marcin
Published: December 2021

Tekst porusza tematykę obrazów polskiej wsi, obecnych w Malowanym ptaku Jerzego Kosińskiego. Analizy dokonano z punktu widzenia antropologii kulturowej, między innymi poprzez kategorie: swój – obcy, orbis interior – orbis exterior, centrum – peryferie, wędrówka, dziecko. Przy antropologicznym dekodowaniu tekstu literackiego o charakterze autofikcji autor artykułu posługuje się pomocnymi w tym działaniu terminami antropologii pamięci: autobiografią, pamięcią autobiograficzną, traumą. Polska wieś czasów Holocaustu, ukazana w pozie J. Kosińskiego, okazuje się przestrzenią wędrówki głównego bohatera, bliską naturze, położoną w obszarze dalekich peryferii kultury i cywilizacji. Tragiczna w wielu wymiarach podróż, choć bliska inicjacyjnej wędrówce, jednak nie jest nią. Powodem jest brak ostatniego, trzeciego elementu charakterystycznego dla klasycznego schematu obrzędów przejścia według Arnolda van Gennepa. Mieszkańcy wsi, ich życie i wierzenia ukazane zostały jako zgodne z etnograficznymi i socjologicznymi opracowaniami tematu. Powieść należy do nurtu krytycznie traktującego tematykę wiejską we współczesnej literaturze.

The Memoir Method in Educational Research From an Australian Perspective
Authors: Maniam Vegneskumar
Published: December 2021

This paper reviews some key memoir studies, which were carried out in South Australia, and considers their process of data collection and analysis. A second aim is to explore the current status and usefulness of Znaniecki’s memoir approach in contemporary educational research. Smolicz followed Znaniecki in emphasizing the need to accept social and cultural values and actions as facts, just as human agents themselves accept them. Every individual was seen as a member of various group social systems and interpreted as a center of experience and actions based on the cultures of those groups. Smolicz also adopted Znaniecki’s memoir method of collecting and analyzing personal data in order to understand the actions and attitudes of young people of immigrant families and their educational experiences in Australian schools. These conscious human agents played an important role in maintaining and changing their group’s cultural systems. This paper highlights examples of various forms of memoirs collected from four different studies focused specifically on the issue of cultural identity. The comments of the participants, who came from various minority ethnic groups living in Australia, illustrate the nature of the comments made, as well as the researchers’ analysis and findings. The research studies of Smolicz and his associates demonstrate that memoir method has an important place in understanding the culture of different groups, which can be applied in many contexts – global, ethnic, national, and local.

Los profundos cambios globales asociados a la crisis sanitaria, social y económica, producto del nuevo coronavirus COVID-19 (Du et al., 2020; Estalella, Zabalegui, y Guerra, 2020; Huang et al., 2020), han puesto de manifiesto  las barreras a la innovación  en los sistemas de salud, justificados en débiles conocimientos y procesos tecnológicos, incertidumbre y rechazo de las personas a la modificación en los patrones de rutina, revelando en términos generales aversión al cambio (García-Alegría y Gómez-Huelgas, 2020), sin embargo demostrando la imperiosa necesidad de una rápida capacidad de respuesta frente a estos cambios emergentes o súbitos, en un entorno altamente turbulento (Burnes, 2005; Sandoval Duque, 2014).

Ranking the competitiveness of tourist destinations: An analysis using the OWA operator and the SAW method
Authors: Huesca-Gastélum Martín , León-Santiesteban Martín
Published: December 2021

The objective of this paper is to rank the competitiveness of tourist destinations based on different aggregation operators, specifically, the ordered weighted average (OWA) operator and the simple additive weighting (SAW) method. The use of these methods allows tourist destinations to be sorted according to their competitiveness. In addition, it enables the generation of different scenarios that highlight the relative importance of each criterion. This information is useful for the government and recreation sites when generating different evaluations based on the specific characteristics of each municipality. An application of these methods to determine the competitiveness of the tourism destinations of Sinaloa, Mexico has been performed.

Authors: Zaragoza-Ibarra Artemisa , Merigó José M. , Alfaro-Calderón Gerardo Gabriel
Published: December 2021

Abstract

This article aims to use bibliometric techniques to analyze the production of scientific documents related to innovation research carried out in the territory of Mexico. The study focuses on a period of thirty-eight years, from 1980 to 2019. Knowing the direction that innovation takes in Mexico during this period is what motivates its implementation. The main source of information for this study is the "Web of Science" database. The results show an exponential increase in publications starting in 2010, with the participation of Spanish- or English-speaking authors; more research on innovation in the areas of health; the adoption of a broader concept of innovation; and language as a limiting factor for collaborations.

Key Words: Bibliometrics, Innovation, Mexico, Web of Science.

Situación actual de la competitividad y sustentabilidad y el COVID-19
Authors: Espinoza-Audelo Luis Fernando
Published: December 2021

Plantearse cuál será el futuro no es tarea fácil, el año 2020 ha marcado ampliamente el sentido de nuestras vidas, modificando todas las dinámicas tanto sociales, económicas y ambientales. A finales del siglo pasado la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) en su publicación “Nuestro futuro común” (1987) advertía una sobre explotación de los recursos naturales dado que el crecimiento económico se convirtió en el objetivo primordial de los países (Costanza et al., 2014). Así mismo, la ONU proponía trabajar simultáneamente y con equilibrio en las dimensiones económica, humana, ambiental, institucional y tecnológica para asegurar la sustentabilidad, donde la mezcla de estas daba paso a la competitividad mediante la optimización de los recursos, así como las formas y actuación de los agentes sociales, económicos y políticos para alcanzar un crecimiento y un desarrollo adecuado y sostenido (Lombana & Rozas, 2009).

Paleozoic sedimentary basins of the northeast European Platform is a component of large megabasin of the northeast passive continental margin of the European continent in the Paleozoic. The establishment of a connection between a paleodynamic history of a basin and its sedimentary formations types, which are the most reliable indicators of geodynamic conditions, is one of the primary problems of modern lithology. Reliable indicators at geodynamic reconstructions are genetically predetermined by laterial and vertical lines of the sedimentary formations. Formations and lithological complexes being the brightest indicators of the paleodynamic regimes change of the basin have been considered formations lines of the passive continental margin of the westuralian type during the Paleozoic.
