Implications of Cultural Capital in Women’s Higher Education Participation and Social Mobility
Authors: Editor PJE
Published: October 2020

Equality of opportunity in higher education participation is a basic right of people in a society that leads to their social mobility in the long run. Benadusi (2002) endorsed Bourdieu’s explanations that cultural capital acts as an empowering force that predetermines equality/inequality of educational opportunity of people in a society. The study, thus, aimed to explore cultural capital as means of participation in higher education and eventually social mobility of women۔
IMPROVING THE AUTHORITY OF THE REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE COUNCILS IN THE STATE GAZETTE OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA ACCORDING TO THE 1945 CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA

The existence of the Regional Representative Council (DPD) which is regulated in Article 22D of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (UUDNRI of 1945) with the authority of the DPD as regulated in Law Number 2 of 2018 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 17 of 2014 Regarding the People's Consultative Assembly, the People's Representative Council, the Regional Representative Council and the Regional People's Representative Council (MD3), in particular Article 249 Paragraph (1) letter e. Article 22D of the 1945 Constitution places the position of the DPD as an institution that has the authority to submit a Bill relating to regional autonomy, central and regional relations, the formation and expansion of regions and the merger of regions, management of natural resources and other economic resources as well as related also by placing the DPD position to monitor and evaluate the Draft District / City Regional Regulations and Regency / City Regional Regulations according to Law Number 2 of 2018 concerning the People's Consultative Assembly, the People's Representative Council, the Regional Representative Council, and the Regional People's Representative Council (DPR) ( MD3). This authority will cause problems especially those regulated in Law Number 2 of 2018 concerning MD3, because the Regency / City Regional People's Representative Council and the Governor as representatives of the central government do the same thing as is done by the DPD as regulated in Law Number 23 2014 concerning Regional Government, particularly in the provisions of Article 149 Paragraph (1) and Article 153 Paragraph (1). While the form of coordination that will be carried out by the DPD and the Regional Government has yet to exist, in addition to the DPD's position as a high state institution will cause problems when coordinating with the Regency / City DPRD as an element of the regional government.Keywords: The telescope, Position, DPD, State Administration, Republic of Indonesia

Since the development of the Internet jumped quickly, the user can perform a variety of social media information and communicate via computers, mobile phones and other smart devices. Social media can be presented in many different forms, including text, images, music and videos. Under the high popularity of social media usage, users will share information on community self-media platforms, including personal ideas, feelings and experiences. However, social media is one of the sides of a virtual network that allows users to bring convenient, instant, etc. But they also bring negative factors can’t be predicted for users, such as: lack of privacy controls, social media into hidden problems. Due to these reasons, users can cause by long-term excessive use of social media, and make themselves feel fatigue social of psychology. The study investigates whether the negative factors will affect users of social media for social impact of fatigue, use Google questionnaires to collect samples of the web results. To sum up, the conclusion of the study showed that most of the negative factors of social media are social media users will feel social fatigue.
The Role of Financial Development in Economic Growth of Nepal: ARDL Approach of Cointegration with Structural Break Analysis
Authors:   Tribhuvan University, Nepal, Paudel Ramesh C.
Published: October 2020

This paper, using the most recent index of financial development as developed in Svirydzenka (2016), examines the role of financial development in the economic growth of Nepal. This paper employs the Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach of cointegration with the structural break in time series data for the period of 1980-2017. Nepal is a unique country with a population of about 30 million with high demographic dividend and big markets in the neighbours, the earlier entrant in the liberalization and reform in the region, endowed with lots of natural resources and beauties, and comparatively cheaper labor force in the region but it remains as one of the poor landlocked developing countries sandwiched between two emerging economies, namely China and India. The results show that financial development has a strong long-run positive relationship with economic growth. Therefore, developing the strategies for the proper financial development improving the financial institution quality and widening the financial market to improve capital formation would be a way to accelerate the economic growth in Nepal.
PREDATORY JOURNALS ARE INDEXING IN REPUTED DATABASES: A CASE STUDY OF UNSOLVED ISSUES
Authors: Hossan Dalowar
Published: October 2020

The aim of this study is to identify the features of fraudulent journals. Fraudulent and clone journals wasted valuable manuscripts when scholars and authors publish their works in these journals. Fraud journals publish the articles without the reviewing process with a high rate of fee while the name and ISSN of clone journals are identical to the original journals. Purposive sampling technique and document analysis method had been used to conduct this research. Two clone versions and two fraud journals of the Scopus indexing journals had been selected for reviewing their articles. Based on the discussion of this study, the researcher found some characteristics of predatory/fraud/ clone journals that will help the scholars to avoid publishing on fake journals.

Published: October 2020

We respond to a critique by Patrick et al. (2020) of our recent study (Roy et al., 2020) that raised questions regarding the three-factor model of the Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (TriPM). Roy et al. demonstrated that a replicable model involving seven unidimensional factors accounted for the TriPM items across North American and European general population samples, as well as European male offenders. Despite having access to large TriPM datasets, the Patrick et al. critique relied on tangential analyses of general personality traits, using a single college sample with TriPM data as supplemental. Thus, Patrick et al. ignored findings highlighting multidimensional TriPM scales and the uncertainty they introduce with respect to the larger nomological network of psychopathy. In our reply, we demonstrate additional problems with the three-factor TriPM model and show that the seven-factor model outperforms the three-factor model in predicting correlates of psychopathy.

How to Kill a Greek God: A Meta-Analysis and Critical Review of 14 years of Proteus Effect Research
Authors: Clark Oliver James
Published: October 2020

The Proteus Effect is a phenomenon whereby a user of a virtual environment temporarily adopts attitudes and behaviours that are consistent with stereotypes associated with the appearance of their avatar. A recent meta-analysis (Ratan et al, 2019) estimates that the strength of the Proteus Effect is \"small to medium\" under the de facto descriptors of Cohen (1992). Ratan et al also suggest some meta-analytic regressors which may moderate the overall effect. In this replication and extension of Ratan et al's review, the conditions under which an effect should be observed are made explicit, and a number of potential issues with the previous review are highlighted and addressed. These include conflation of a number of different theories (Virtual Self Modelling, perspective taking), the erroneous inclusion and omission of studies, errors in effect size calculation, and the possible motivated selection of effects. Results reveal that although the Proteus Effect may be a robust effect with several demonstrative studies, the omnibus effect size of the Proteus Effect is be smaller than previously indicated, is sensitive to the inclusion of negative results, and that the moderators suggested in the original meta-analysis do not significantly contribute to the prediction of the effect sizes. It is ultimately argued that the Proteus Effect ought not be embraced as an intervention and is more useful as an indicator of stereotype activations. Suggestions are made for a progressive research line which aims to unpack the Proteus Effect and increase the consistency and variety of predictions it can make, including ways to reduce the effect and allow controllers the freedom to be who they want to be in virtual environments.
Automated creation and tuning of personalised muscle paths for OpenSim musculoskeletal models via the Musculoskeletal Atlas Project Client
Authors: Killen Bryce
Published: October 2020

This is a pre-print of an article published in [Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology (2020) ]. The final authenticated version is available online at: [10.1007/s10237-020-01398-1]. Computational modelling is an invaluable tool for investigating features of human locomotion and motor control which cannot be measured except through invasive techniques. Recent research has focused on creating personalised musculoskeletal models using population-based morphing or directly from medical imaging. Although progress has been made, robust definition of two critical model parameters remains challenging: (1) complete tibiofemoral (TF) and patellofemoral (PF) joint motions, and (2) muscle tendon unit (MTU) pathways and kinematics (i.e. lengths and moment arms). The aim of this study was to develop an automated framework, using population-based morphing approaches to create personalised musculoskeletal models, consisting of personalised bone geometries, TF and PF joint mechanisms, and MTU pathways and kinematics. Informed from medical imaging, personalised rigid body TF and PF joint mechanisms were created. Using atlas- and optimisation-based methods, personalised MTU pathways and kinematics were created with the aim of preventing MTU penetration into bones and achieving smooth MTU kinematics that follow patterns from existing literature. This framework was integrated into the Musculoskeletal Atlas Project Client software package to create and optimise models for 6 participants with incrementally increasing levels of personalisation with the aim of improving MTU kinematics and pathways. Three comparisons were made: (1) non-optimised (Model 1) and optimised models (Model 3) with generic joint mechanisms; (2) non-optimised (Model 2) and optimised models (Model 4) with personalised joint mechanisms; and (3) both optimised models (Model 3 and 4). Following optimisation, improvements were consistently shown in pattern similarity to cadaveric data in comparison (1) and (2). For comparison (3), a number of comparisons showed no significant difference between the two compared models. Importantly, optimisation did not produce statistically significantly worse results in any case.
Negative and Positive Bias for Emotional Faces: Evidence from the Attention and Working Memory Paradigms
Authors: Xu Qianru , Ye Chaoxiong , Gu Simeng , huzhonghua  , Lei Yi , Li Xueyan , Huang Lihui , Liu Qiang
Published: October 2020

Visual attention and visual working memory (VWM) are two major cognitive functions in humans, and they have much in common. A growing body of research has investigated the effect of emotional information on visual attention and VWM. Interestingly, contradictory findings have supported both a negative bias and a positive bias toward emotional faces (e.g., angry faces or happy faces) in the attention and VWM fields. We found that the classical paradigms—that is, the visual search paradigm in attention and the change detection paradigm in VWM—are considerably similar. The settings of these paradigms could therefore be responsible for the contradictory results. In this paper, we compare previous controversial results from behavioral and neuroscience studies using these two paradigms. We suggest three possible contributing factors that have significant impacts on the contradictory conclusions regarding different emotional bias effects; these factors are stimulus choice, experimental setting, and cognitive process. We also propose new research directions and guidelines for future studies.
Grodno w XVIII wieku w relacjach podróżników z Europy Zachodniej
Authors: Krysztopa-Czupryńska Barbara
Published: October 2020

The article shows the transformation that Grodno underwent in the 18th century in the light of accounts of peregrinates from Western Europe. In the first half of the century, a provincial, uninteresting Lithuanian town reluctantly visited by Western European travelers, in the second half of the century gained significantly a power of attraction. To a large extent, the city owed its transformation to Lithuanian Court Treasurer Antoni Tyzenhauz, which the travelers emphasized unanimously. The change in the face of the city was also reflected in eighteenth-century Western European publications.
Generał brygady Kazimierz Rumsza – z armii carskiej do polskiej
Authors: Radziwiłłowicz Dariusz
Published: October 2020

Since its inception, the 5th Siberian Rifle Division was led by Colonel [płk.] Rumsza who operated under the orders of Colonel [płk.] Czuma, the commander of Polish forces in Siberia. In the light of the examined documents, Colonel Kazimierz Rumsza appears to be a man with two faces. On the one hand, he was an excellent commander, proving his worth in the extreme war conditions. On the other, a violent officer who humiliated his personnel and got involved in shady financial ventures. He was never proven guilty of embezzlement. However, his very presence in the group of suspects stigmatised him among the officers. He won back some favour after the lost September Campaign. During World War II, Rumsza did not play any significant role in the Polish Armed Forces. After demobilisation, he settled down in London. On 1 January 1964, he was promoted to the rank of brigadier general [gen. brygady]. Kazimierz Rumsza died on 28 January 1970.
Archaic imitation: history of the cult of Tsarevna Sophia and rhetorical strategies of messages to her
Authors: Kravetskii Aleksandr
Published: October 2020

The article is devoted to texts which appeared in connection with the cult of Tsarevna Sophia Alekseyevna (1657-1704). It has been established that the veneration of Sophia, associated with the Moscow Novodevichy Convent, did not start until the 21st century. An analysis of the prehistory of this cult shows that before the revolution, in Soviet times, the the Novodevichy Convent preserved the memory of Sophia and displayed objects associated with her, yet this memory of Sophia was of a local history nature. Elements of religious worship were not present there. At the beginning of the 21st century, a certain cult arose around one of the Convent’s towers: people who came there wrote messages addressed to Sofia on the wall. It was a secular cult that was not supported by the Church, so there are no well-composed prayers to Sophia, on which the authors of the inscriptions could have relied on. A study of the corpus of inscriptions copied in 2010-2014 shows that these texts were written in Russian, but their authors used stylistic markers, which, in their opinion, endowed these appeals with the status of a prayer. The language and stylistic features of the inscriptions are openly eclectic in nature: here one can notice both prayer formulas and attempts to imitate conjurations, as well as appeals to the modern epistolary style. Moreover, the authors of the texts were convinced that they were writing correct prayers addressed to the saint.

Published: October 2020

Among spring grain crops, oats are one of the main crops in Siberia. Taking into account climatic factors and production demands, breeding for increased productivity and adaptability to local natural and climatic factors, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses appears to be currently relevant. This is a key factor for a permanent increase in both yield and quality of agricultural products. The aim of the study is to determine the group of adaptive oat varieties by the content of crude fat in grain for introduction into production and inclusion in breeding programs. The studies were carried out in the conditions of the southern forest-steppe of the Omsk Region during 2013-2018. The indicator of the range of crude fat content according to V.A. Zykin (d), index of ecological plasticity according to D.I. Baranskiy (O), homeostaticity according to V.V. Khangildin (Hоm), an indicator of intensity according to R.A. Udachin (I), the relative stability of the trait N.A. Sobolev (St²), an indicator of the level of stability of the variety according to E.D. Nettevich (PUSS) were calculated. The final assessment of adaptability was based on the sum of the ranks. The minimum range of crude fat content was observed in varieties Irtysh 23 and Fakel (d = 1.87 and 2.97%). Cultivars Irtysh 23, Tarsky 2, Fakel, Sibirskiy Hercules and Sibirskiy golozerny differed in plasticity (O = 6.4–13.6) and homeostaticity (Hom = 0.82). The variety Irtysh 13 (Hom = 0.23) was also homeostatic. The stability of the trait according to N.A. Sobolev characterized all varieties (St² = 0.94–0.99), according to E.D. Nettevich – Irtysh 13, Irtysh 23, Pamyati Bogachkova and Fakel (PUSS = 193.4-305.5%). Having an assortment of estimated indicators of adaptive parameters, it is advisable to apply the ranking and conduct the final assessment according to the sum of the ranks received by each variety. The varieties Irtysh 23 and Fakel (∑ ranks = 23 and 25) and Sibirskiy Holozerny (∑ ranks = 26) are the most adaptive in terms of the content of crude fat in grain for the conditions of the southern forest-steppe of Western Siberia.

For the catalytic hydro chlorination of acetylene in the vapor phase based on local raw materials for the Zola-gel technology, we selected an active and high-performance catalyst (ZnCl2)x*(FeCl3)y*(CuCl2)z and also under the influence of various factors (partial pressure, temperature, ratio of reagent properties, contact time, catalyst concentration) the yield and reaction rate were studied with the participation of the selected catalyst. Based on the results obtained, a kinetic equation was proposed that satisfies the reaction, its adequacy is estimated, and a scheme of the reaction mechanism and the basis on the kinetic model are proposed. Because of studying the influence of the mass transfer coefficient on the process productivity and the influence of other factors, the technological parameters of the catalytic flocculants of vinyl chloride and the chloroprene extraction reactor of acetylene were calculated and the main indicators of the compatibility of technological capabilities of environmental and economic factors were substantiated. The successful development of the production of VC from ethylene was associated with the search for a cheaper hydrocarbon feed than acetylene. Analysis of the structure of the cost price of VC obtained by various methods shows that the acetylene method gives the highest cost, with acetylene accounting for about 90%. However, the world hydrocarbon price environment is constantly changing. In the future, it is possible to increase prices for oil and gas raw materials, the convergence of prices for acetylene and ethylene, and the latter may lose its main advantage in this regard.

The results of studies on the processes of obtaining ultra - and nanodispersed palladium powders from sulphate solutions by a combined chemical and electrochemical method in the presence of a "red-ox" system of titanium (III) - titanium (IV) are presented. It has been shown that when a titanium trivalent sulphate solution is added to a solution containing palladium (II) ions, palladium ions are immediately reduced to elemental state to form a nanodispersed powder. The completeness of the above-mentioned oxidizing-reducing reactions is established on the basis of calculating the equilibrium constant (K), which is 1034 and indicates that trivalent titanium ions completely reduce palladium ions to elemental state. Effect of initial concentration of palladium ions on amount of formed palladium powder with addition of equivalent amount of trivalent titanium ions is investigated. According to the authors, upon reduction of palladium ions, elemental palladium is formed in the atomic state, and over time, the atoms begin to combine with each other. Subsequently, atomic particles are combined into colloidal particles. It has been found that in the absence of coagulants, the colloidal palladium solution is stable for 2-3 hours, and in the presence of gelatin, the stability increases and remains for 36 hours. It was shown that in all experiments powders with spherical particles are formed, the average sizes of which range from 0.116-0.240 microns. Based on the results of the presented studies, a new technology for producing ultra - and nano-sized palladium powders is proposed.

Obtained new strongly acid cation exchanger of macroporous structure based on furfural and dipheniloxide. The optimal amount of the poreformed agent and the molar ratio of the reacting substances were determined. Initially results showed that the polymer matrix using camphor as pore forming agent present a uniform surface with inter-connected pores and adding camphor into the polymer matrix could attain more abundant pores than adding n-heptane. We studied the components, surface and pore structures of the сation exchanger by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SEM observations showed that the resin abounded in macropores as large as 7.4 to 22.6 µm both in the surface and the interior. The parameters of the porous structure of the samples are calculated using by equation BET (Brauner., at al.) and the total pore volume of ion exchangers and the radius of submicroscopic capillaries were determined. Finally dates testing prototypes under application conditions, allow us to recommend this cation exchanger for sorption of small radius ions at high speed, as fundamentals upon receipt of ion exchangers, etc.

A pilot plant was launched and the modes of acetylene hydrogenation on cobalt catalysts were worked out. It has been found that the modified 7% Co/ SiAl cobalt catalyst is active in the process of hydrogenating acetylene into ethylene. Optimal conditions of acetylene hydrogenation on 7% Co/ SiAl catalyst were determined. The effects of temperature, space velocity and the ratio of initial components in the hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene were investigated. The textural characteristics of cobalt catalysts before and after the hydrogenation of acetylene were investigated by the SEM method. The structure of cobalt catalysts after the hydrogenation of acetylene does not lose catalytic activity and selectivity. It has been found that catalyst samples have channels of different sizes, flaky particles and fibers located in the gaps between large aggregates are also present on the surface. The optimum temperature was 180 ° C in the hydrogenation of acetylene into ethylene at conversion 73.0%. Conversion of acetylene increases to 81.2% when temperature rises to 200°C, acetylene conversion decreases to 68% with further temperature exceeding to 220°C. Acetylene conversion again increases from 68 to 73.6% at 140°C in the ratio of acetylene to hydrogen 1:2. The selectivity of the catalyst 7%Co/SiAl to ethylene was studied depending on the temperature in the acetylene hydrogenation reaction. The selectivity to ethylene decreases with increasing temperature, since an increase in temperature activates side reactions.

According to the chromatogram of the molecularly-mass distributed atactic polypropylene, it is found that the average time of fraction maximum yield is 11.4 minutes, the corresponding value of logarithm of the average molecular weight Lg(M) equals to 5.5. Accordingly, the average molecular weight of fraction M is 400. The change patterns of the rheological properties of the organic part of OBR, atactic polypropylene and compositions based on them are described. It has been established that the addition of APP to the organic part of OBR creates a disperse system in which the particles of a polymer additive that are swollen due to oily components are dispersed in the bitumen medium. At the same time, mechanical properties such as elasticity and heat resistance of the organic part of oil bituminous rock are improved. These properties can be shown only with the optimum quantity of APP, when their concentration is such that they form an uninterrupted net structure. The influence patterns of APP on the structure of the organic part of OBR defined in the process of experiments can also be used in further experiments during development of various types of waterproofing materials and coatings.

Authors: Moldavan Liubov
Published: October 2020

The purpose of the article – based on the systematization of proposals from various scientific sources and the results of our own field studies of processes that occur in the agricultural sector, substantiate the main components of the institutional and legal environment aimed at preventing globalization of land use in the domestic agricultural sector, taking into account the experience of countries that have managed to solve this problem. Research methods. In the research process, the following methods were used: monographic (analysis of the distribution of agricultural enterprises of various countries by the area of agricultural land) comparative analysis (features of globalization processes in land use in Ukraine, Latin America and Western European countries were determined); empirical (according to a comprehensive assessment of the social and environmental consequences of the concentration of large tracts of agricultural land in the hands of domestic and transcontinental industrial-trading companies) abstract-logical (generalization and formulation of the main conclusions and suggestions based on the study results). Research results. The retrospective and current state of global processes in land use in different countries are investigated. A comparative analysis of the grouping of business entities by the size of land in Western European countries and Ukraine is carried out. It is proved that the economic benefits of anthropogenic agricultural production based on the concentration of large tracts of agricultural land in the hands of individual companies do not overlap social and environmental losses. The methods of rational distribution of agricultural land and control over their effective use and the role of the state in these processes are considered. Scientific novelty. Based on the systematization of the economic, social and environmental consequences of the global transformation of land use in agriculture and expert assessment of the impact of regulatory land legislation on this process, it was substantiated basic directions for the formation of the domestic institutional and legal environment aimed at preventing the development of an oligarchic latifund land use system in Ukraine. Practical significance. The obtained main research results are applied. Implementation in the domestic institutional and legal field of the restrictions proposed in the article on land use, access to agricultural land and state support and benefits, on the ecologization of land use through the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On the Code of Sustainable Agriculture," and the introduction of strict control over compliance with established rules and regulations significantly they will reduce the "appetites" of existing agro-industrial-trade companies for expanding their land banks and limit their distribution in the agricultural sector of Ukraine, which will improve the conditions for the development of rural-self-sustaining enterprises and farms.

Published: October 2020

The purpose of the article is to consider of organizational components of management production and bioethanol use and peculiarities of advisory support of indicated processes. Research methods - the theoretical basis of the article was the dialectical method of cognition and systematic method for advisory support of production management and bioethanol use processes. The results of research have been obtained via use such main methods as analysis and generalization. Using the analyses method a comparison of individual organizational components of process of production management and bioethanol use was made. Based on the method of generalization, four more significant groups of organizational components of management are identified and the features of information and consulting support for their implementation are identified. Research results. The expediency of deepening the coordination at different levels of government in Ukraine of the processes development of bioethanol production and use is proved, which is due to such main factors: the preservation of crop production as a traditional type of economic activity, the intensification of efforts to ensure state energy independence by increasing the production of alternative renewable fuels and increase the level of value-added in the agricultural sector. The set of organizational components of management along the chains of bioethanol production and use with the allocation of four basic ones is summarized. The importance of information and consulting support for the organizational components of the bioethanol production and use was emphasized, which will become a prerequisite for increasing the production of this type of alternative renewable fuel. Scientific novelty. As a results of the generalization, four groups of basic organizational components for managing of the processes of bioethanol production and use have been distinguished: institutional, organizational and economic, organizational and technical, organizational and structural. The grounding and implementation of management decisions on the bioethanol production and use is proposed to be carried out on the basis of an alternative approach with the choice of individual organizational components of management, which are more appropriate in specific business conditions. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used to formulate strategic and program documents for managing the processes of bioethanol production and use. The effect of their implementation can be assessed by multilevel indicators. At the business level, the effect can be determined by: assessing the volume of bioethanol production and saving costs from the use of bioethanol in performing of economic operations. At the macroeconomic level, the effect can be determined by the level of decrease in dependence on imported energy supplies, by the increase in the level of added value in the agrarian sector and so on.
