ON THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS AND ADMINISRTATIVE PROCEDURE OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN
Authors: Akhmetov Yerik B. , Zhurunova Mereke K.
Published: June 2024

The article deals with the classification of the basic principles of administrative procedures. The main attention is paid to the identification of the main functions, the system and the hierarchy of principles. The scientific novelty lies in the study of important subordinate guiding principles, the influence of which is decisive for the principles of administrative procedures, and therefore for the entire system of public administration. The author concludes that everyone has the right to a fair and public hearing of the case within a reasonable time by an independent and impartial court established on the basis of the law in the event of a dispute about his civil rights and obligations or when any charge is brought against him. A brief overview of the basic principles of administrative procedures and their implementation in the countries of the near and far abroad was made. Thus, further analysis of the basic principles of administrative procedures is necessary. At the same time, the institution of administrative procedures, especially their principles, as well as the principles of administrative law in general, for the legislator and even the doctrine still remain largely unexplored and poorly understood problem. The author also concluded that the main feature of the principles of administrative procedures is their direct effect and specific regularity. The principles of administrative procedures are formulated not as declarations, but with a clear and pragmatic purpose — to act as special means of legal regulation. The principles of procedures are intended to become a reference point not only for the legislator, but also (which is extremely important) for the law enforcement officer. The author also believes that the principles of administrative procedures are a special group of principles of managerial administrative law. The principles define the essence of dynamic regulatory activity of public administration. The consistency of the principles is determined by the prevailing procedural doctrines. Thus, further analysis of the basic principles of administrative procedures is necessary.
PERSONAL NON-PROPERTY RELATIONSHIPS OF THE STEP-FATHER AND STEPSON: IN SEARCH OF LEGAL ENTITIES
Authors: Komissarova Elena Genrikhovna
Published: June 2024

The problem of personal non-property relations that arise in a consolidated or remarried family with the participation of a stepfather/stepmother and a stepson/stepdaughter is rarely studied in the legal literature. Schematic approaches have been adopted in Russian familistics, suggesting the legal imposition of legal rights and obligations on the stepfather, by analogy with legal parents. In the Kazakh science of family law, this problem is not even touched upon. Turning to it, the authors of the article seek to substantiate the appropriate theoretical and methodological approaches to its study. Turning to it, the authors of the article seek to substantiate the appropriate theoretical and methodological approaches to its study. The original author's idea is based on the fact that personal non-property rights and obligations in family law do not arise either from parents or other family members "on their own". The grounds for this are named only by the law, establishing for this purpose the rules for recognition by parents. The current legislation of Russia and Kazakhstan does not provide for other grounds, except for the recognition of persons as parents by law, for establishing legal rights and obligations in relation to a child. Scientific attempts to legally impose legal rights and obligations on the stepfather are not consistent with this legislative maxim and contradict it. This author's judgment serves as a methodological guideline for future research on personal non-property relations between a stepfather and stepson, prejudging the involvement of other legal tools in its scientific description, which is based on dispositive regulation. Such are conciliatory and voluntary acts with the participation of the stepfather and the legal parents of the child, whose personal non-property rights and obligations in relation to the child do not cease after the breakup of their marriage. This approach does not eliminate the relationship between the stepfather and stepson of the non-resident parent from the study and does not raise the problem of the competition of the rights of these persons in relations with the child.

Authors: Caminha Neto Aloísio Ribeiro , Castilho Fábio Francisco de Almeida
Published: June 2024

O artigo apresenta os primeiros resultados de uma pesquisa que busca esclarecer de que maneira o conceito de tecnologia é percebido e representado por um grupo de estudantes do segundo ano, do curso de meio ambiente, do ensino médio integrado profissional, do Instituto Federal de Alagoas – IFAL, no âmbito do Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação Profissional e tecnológica - ProfEPT. O objetivo do trabalho é propor uma reflexão crítica do conceito de Tecnologia no ensino de Filosofia do Ensino Médio Integrado, visando relacionar a natureza das escolhas tecnológicas e suas consequências para o meio ambiente e para o bem estar coletivo nas sociedades contemporâneas. O referencial teórico estabelece um diálogo entre as reflexões sobre a educação profissional e tecnológica, o ensino médio integrado e os conteúdos apresentados pela filosofia crítica da tecnologia, buscando esclarecer as relações existentes entre educação, trabalho, capital e tecnologia. A pesquisa segue uma abordagem qualitativa com perspectiva socialmente crítica, uma vez que sua intenção não é apenas uma melhoria curricular, mas promover a construção de um mundo mais justo e democrático a partir do estímulo a participação política nas escolhas tecnológicas. Por meio da Filosofia Crítica da Tecnologia tencionamos criar espaços de debate sobre I) as relações de poder estabelecidas pelo capital e as escolhas tecnológicas, percebendo os benefícios da participação política como fonte de controle dos processos de desenvolvimento tecnológicos; II) Compreensão dos malefícios da exploração intensiva da natureza com o emprego de tecnologias não sustentáveis e de mudanças nas formas de trabalho, educação e na cultura e  III) Entendimento que as tecnologias não são os artefatos produzidos por ela, mas o ato racional que planeja e possui intencionalidade para produzir e transformar a realidade e o modo de existência do homem, e, portanto, algo possível de questionamento e reflexão. Se alcançados os três objetivos acima romperemos com a percepção utilitarista, funcional e instrumentalista da tecnologia presente na visão de mundo de muitos estudantes do EMI e a filosofia crítica da tecnologia cumprirá sua função de contribuir para uma formação mais humana, crítica, autônoma e libertadora.
Sentidos (inter)ditados
Authors: Melo Valci
Published: June 2024

o artigo busca identificar como os livros didáticos de Sociologia concebem a desnaturalização das explicações sobre a realidade social. Para tal, à luz da análise do discurso de filiação pecheutiana, ancorada no materialismo histórico-dialético, analisa-se o discurso dos seis livros didáticos de Sociologia aprovados e recomendados pelo Programa Nacional do Livro Didático de 2015 acerca da desnaturalização como princípio epistemológico. Ao longo do estudo, demonstra-se que os livros didáticos de Sociologia materializam um discurso que silencia sobre a existência de explicações naturalizadoras da realidade social situadas também no campo da filosofia e da ciência. Assim, conclui-se afirmando que, ao proceder dessa forma, os livros didáticos de Sociologia acabam alinhando-se com a Formação Ideológica Cientificista, representada na linguagem pela Formação Discursiva Positivista, segundo a qual a ciência é não apenas uma forma de conhecimento, mas a única forma verdadeiramente válida.

Published: June 2024

Correspondences between the changes nonlinearity in substance physico-chemical parameters and the influence mechanisms on them by the substance supramolecular structure in the calculated dependencies form for n-alkanes and n-alcohols was established. Similarity, change features and correlation between such parameters as melting point, boiling point, flash point, self-ignition, density, solubility in water, viscosity, vaporization heat, surface tension were investigated. The paper obtained 14 calculated dependencies that calculate these parameters on the established similarity basis between them and the lengths of the molecule or cluster with sufficient correlation coefficients. For viscosity, vaporization heat and surface tension, change general dependences are established, but without taking into account oscillatory deviations. Calculated dependences between substance characteristic temperatures were obtained: melting temperatures of alkanes and alcohols, boiling and flash temperatures in homologous series, autoignition and melting temperatures (flash, boiling). This correlation is explained by the fact that supramolecular structures are formed according to a similar principle in matter different states and during the combustion initiation. Such structures modeling for the solid, liquid state, and solubility in water was carried out, taking into account different coordination numbers, globulation, and changes in the clustering place according to the molecule length. On the such modeling basis and the "melting ease" indicator, dependencies have been developed for calculation with the dependencies nonlinearities reflection of alkanes and alcohols density and melting temperature. For the boiling and flash point, vaporization heat of alcohols, the deviation from linearity is taken into account by the cluster length reduction parameter. It is shown that the considered dependencies modulation by the cluster length allows to describe their anomalies and increases the calculation convergence.

Published: June 2024

Pancreatic cancer, often described as the most devastating among cancers, characterized by a malignant tumor with a grim prognosis and a limited response to systemic therapy. Its characterization is common in old age and very rare and unusual in the young age. We present an unusual case of a male patient, 35 years old. A case of diabetes and of pancreatic cancer in the head of the pancreas with stomach and bone metastases, highlighting its diagnostic challenges and management. The patient presented with changed bowel habits for a month, generalized body aches for a week, hip joint pain with decreased mobility for a week, decreased oral intake for three to four days, and hematuria for two days. The patient complained of irregular bowel habits, which included fatty and oily feces, minor abdominal discomfort, and intermittent constipation. According to the patient, he developed generalized bone pain in upper as well as lower back unlike usually present in pancreatic cancer. A contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis revealed indications of a heterogeneously enhancing lesion in the pancreatic head, with an interior necrotic component measuring 32x31 mm and generating a substantial dilatation of the pancreatic duct and CBD. A tentative diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in the head of the pancreas with stomach and bone metastases was made based on clinical history and testing. Given the poor prognosis associated with pancreatic cancer patients, the patient was admitted for conservative and palliative care. This case emphasizes the rarity of pancreatic cancer in young patients and that further research is needed to understand its epidemiology and etiology.

A alteração na estrutura natural da paisagem afeta condições abióticas e promove uma resposta biológica da comunidade local. A diversidade de organismos edáficos está relacionada com a diversidade de outros táxons e características abióticas, representando potenciais bioindicadores do ecossistema. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar quais atributos do solo explicam a comunidade de coleópteros e explorar seus efeitos por meio da modelagem espacial. O estudo foi desenvolvido em três paisagens do oeste de Santa Catarina (Brasil) localizadas em: Chapecó, Pinhalzinho e São Miguel do Oeste. Os sistemas de uso e cobertura do solo identificados foram: plantio direto, floresta nativa, pastagem, plantio de eucalipto, integração lavoura-pecuária e capoeira. Foram realizadas coletas de solo, liteira e coleópteros. A seleção das variáveis foi realizada pela Análise de Táxons Indicadores de Limiares e a modelagem espacial pela Geoestatística. Maiores valores de resistência a penetração associados ao sistema de plantio direto promoveram menor abundância de coleópteros da família Staphylinidae, condicionadas pela porosidade total do solo. Menores valores de umidade volumétrica, identificados em sistema plantio direto próximo de fragmentos de vegetação nativa, promoveram maior abundância da família Nitidulidae, em razão da adaptabilidade da família ao ambiente seco. A tendência de maior concentração de carbono microbiano em áreas de vegetação nativa explicou a maior abundância da família Chrysomelidae nessas áreas, em decorrência dos hábitos fitófagos das espécies dessa família. Dessa forma, a comunidade de coleópteros possui potencial como bioindicador da qualidade do solo e suas relações com os atributos físicos — químicos e microbiológicos — do solo podem ser modeladas espacialmente por meio da Geoestatística.
Nexus between the Shariah and Traditional Stock Indices in Bangladesh: Implications of COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine Crisis
Authors: Hossain Md. Shakawat
Published: June 2024

This objective of this study is to investigate the nexus between Shariah and traditional stock indices in the Dhaka Stock Exchange of Bangladesh using co-integration and VAR approaches. The primary results show that the Shariah and traditional both stock indices prices and return positively movement together, however, during the COVID-19 pandemic periods both indices’ prices and returns drastically declined. After the pandemic period, the trend has gained positive momentum, surprisingly, the Ukraine-Russia war has again disrupted the positive momentum and prolonged to the downward trend. Furthermore, the empirical findings reveal a lack of enduring correlation between Shariah and traditional stock indices. Intriguingly, the Shariah-based stock index demonstrates Granger causality over the traditional stock index. Additionally, the impulse response function analysis indicates that both Shariah and non-Shariah compliant stock indices exhibit positive responses to each other's shocks. These outcomes carry significant implications for investors, fund managers, and policymakers alike, influencing their decision-making processes and policy formulations in the realm of investments and financial regulations.
Deception of Heart Rate is Unable to Improve Functional Threshold Power in Cyclists
Authors: Hanson Nicholas , Lee Sangwoo
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Studies investigating the effects of deception on endurance performance have been somewhat inconclusive. The purpose of this study was to explore the use of biofeedback deception of heart rate (HR) in an attempt to improve athletic performance.
Methods:  Thirteen individuals (10 men, mean±SD age 29.4±10.2 years) completed two 20-minute functional threshold power (FTP) cycling tests. In the control (CON) condition, their correct HR was displayed, while in the deception (DEC) condition an incorrect HR was displayed (correct HR – 10 bpm). Paired samples t-tests were used to compare cycling variables such as power output, speed and work between conditions. Actual HR was analyzed using 2 (condition) x 10 (time; every two minutes) repeated-measures ANOVAs.
Results: Mean power output in the CON condition was 226.7±69.3 W and 222.6±65.4 W in the DEC condition (p>.05). The total amount of work performed was nearly identical between conditions (CON: 709.2± J, DEC: 709.3± J; p>.05). There were no differences in actual HR between conditions (all p>.05).
Conclusions: Biofeedback deception of HR was unable to improve performance. Verbal encouragement may be a moderating variable that allows successful deception to occur. Possible future studies are presented that will allow further testing of this hypothesis.

Authors: N K Miller Jothi , B Kesavan , V Nihal , R Sriram
Published: June 2024

The Detection of a Drowsiness-based braking system is an innovative technology that aims to improve the safety of drivers and passengers by monitoring their eye movements and using that data to apply the brakes in case of an emergency. This system consists of an eye blink sensor mounted on the vehicle's dashboard or steering wheel, a microcontroller unit that processes the sensor data and a braking system that applies the brakes when necessary.The eye blink sensor used in this system works by detecting the eyelids' closure and measuring the blink's duration. The sensor sends this information to the microcontroller, which analyzes it to determine whether the driver is drowsy, distracted, or inattentive. If the microcontroller determines that the driver is not alert, it sends a signal to the braking system to apply the brakes, thereby preventing a potential accident. This technology is particularly useful for long-distance drivers, who may become fatigued after hours of driving. The system can also detect distractions such as mobile phone usage or eating while driving, which are common causes of accidents. The Drowsiness of the driver-based braking system is an important advancement in automotive safety technology, as it can potentially save lives and prevent injuries caused by accidents due to driver fatigue or distraction.

Authors: Alcocer Vázquez Ricardo , Peña Carrillo Kenzy Ivveth
Published: June 2024

Introducción. El género Xyleborus contiene especies de hábitos ambrosiales que se consideran plagas potenciales de gran impacto económico, debido a que afectan a una amplia variedad de plantaciones naturales y agrícolas del país. En México, el género Xyleborus está representado por hasta 18 especies, cuya identificación se basa principalmente en caracteres morfológicos, lo que dificulta las actividades de control dentro de su área de distribución (Pérez-De La Cruz et al., 2009). Xyleborus glabratus es una especie que representa un peligro potencial pues se le asocia el hongo Raffaelea lauricola que causa una enfermedad mortal en plantas de la familia Lauraceae (incluyendo el aguacate); en México, se mantiene como especie cuarentenaria, sin embargo, se reportó en el sur de EE UU afectando cultivos de aguacate y causando enormes pérdidas económicas (Castrejón-Antonio et al., 2017). Objetivo. Probar la digestión in silico (virtual) como una nueva herramienta para identificar a las diferentes especies Xyleborus presentes en el país. Métodos. Se utilizaron secuencias de barcoding de especies de Xyleborus disponibles en bases de datos en línea fueron descargadas, dichas secuencias se utilizaron para realizar su digestión in silico con 62 enzimas en el servidor NEBcutter (Vincze-Tamas et al., 2003) y se identificaron a las especies mediante los diferentes tamaños de bandas generados por la actividad enzimática. Resultados y discusión. La digestión enzimática generó diferentes tamaños de bandas que poseen variación suficiente como para diferenciar entre las diferentes especies de Xyleborus ya presentes en el país, incluyendo X. glabratus. Dos enzimas permitieron discriminar entre las especies ya presentes en México y X. glabratus, mientras que seis permitieron discriminar solamente entre las diferentes especies previamente reportadas en México. Conclusión. La digestión enzimática tiene potencial como herramienta de apoyo para distinguir especies que forman complejos crípticos cuya identificación morfológica es compleja, sin la necesidad de recurrir a la secuenciación completa de fragmentos de ADN que supone mayor costo y tiempo.

Introducción. La palma de coco es susceptible a hongos fitopatógenos (HF), recientemente se encontró a Bipolaris oryzae y Lasiodiplodia theobromae como patógenos causantes de daños en hoja e inflorescencia. La patogenicidad de los HF depende de muchos factores, entre ellos la producción de enzimas de degradación de pared celular como la lacasa. Objetivo. Caracterizar el crecimiento micelial y determinar la actividad lacasa y proteína total de B. oryzae y L. theobromae en diferentes medios de cultivo. Métodos. Se elaboraron cinco medios de cultivo con agar —Sivakumar, Czapek Dox, salvado de trigo (ST), extracto glucosa palma de coco (EGPC) y papa dextrosa agar (PDA)—, separadamente se inocularon los HF. Las variables de respuesta fueron la tasa de crecimiento diario (TCD), esporulación, actividad lacasa y proteína total. Se empleó un diseño factorial A×B, dónde A fue el medio de cultivo y B la especie de HF, los datos se analizaron por ANOVA bifactorial y comparación de medias Tukey. Resultados y discusión. La interacción medios × HF fue significativa para la actividad lacasa (P=0.0011) y esporulación (P=0.0045). L. theobromae presentó mayor TCD (2.9 cm/día) y esporulación (200.9 esporas/mL/disco) en comparación de B. oryzae (TCD=1.3 cm/día, esporulación=87.8 esporas/mL/disco). Para el medio de cultivo sólo se encontraron diferencias significativas en la esporulación, el ST permitió mayor producción de conidiósporas con 244.5 esporas/mL/disco. Sivakumar (7.67 U/L) permitió una actividad volumétrica lacasa mayor (P=0.0008) en comparación de GAC (0.33 U/L) y PDA (1.50 U/L). Sin embargo, ST (4.80 U/L) y Czapek Dox (3.35 U/L) resultaron significativamente iguales al Sivakumar. Para proteína total, L. theobromae (139.7 U/L) produjo mayor (P=0.0000) contenido de proteína total a comparación de B. oryzae (72.32 U/L). Aguilar-Aguilar (2023) reportó que la producción de lacasa y proteína fue mayor en el medio ST para Bipolaris sp.; sin embargo, B. oryzae en medio Sivakumar produjo mayor contenido de proteína y lacasa. Conclusión. La mayor actividad lacasa y esporulación se presentó en la interacción B. oryzae × medio Sivakumar y B. oryzae × medio ST. L. theobromae posee mayor TCD que B. oryzae, el medio ST permitió mayor esporulación en los HF, B. oryzae es mejor productor de lacasas que L. theobromae, el mejor medio de cultivo para producir lacasa por ambos hongos fue Sivakumar.

A relação entre a sociedade e o meio ambiente é uma preocupação mundial e cada vez pensar e adotar ações sustentáveis se faz importante. Os eventos no geral tem grande potencial de implementar ações mais sustentáveis, devido ao grande movimento de pessoas e discussões de ideias, minimizando assim possíveis impactos causados durante a realização das atividades. Nesse sentido, esse trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar a aplicação de ações sustentáveis dentro de um evento local de pequeno porte, realizado pelos participantes do LEO Clube Arvorezinha – RS, sendo ele a XXXIV Conferência Distrital. A metodologia iniciou com reuniões com os participantes da atividade e um Brainstorm para definir a melhor forma de inserir as ações sustentáveis no evento. As atividades seguiram a ABNT NBR ISO 20121, focadas na gestão e gerenciamento dos resíduos sólidos (RS) e educação ambiental. Foram realizadas ações de recolhimento, separação, quantificação e destino final adequado para os RS. Ações de educação ambiental foram realizadas durante todo o evento, divulgando a importância e aplicação da sustentabilidade aos participantes, além de reuniões gerais sobre o tema. Como resultados das ações, foram coletados e separados um total de 163,75 kg de resíduos em diferentes classes.O rejeito foi enviado para a coleta municipal, as tampinhas doadas para a liga de combate ao câncer do município de Arvorezinha. As latas foram vendidas para empresa de reciclagem, os resíduos de vidro, os papéis foram enviados para a coleta seletiva do município, e o resíduo orgânico foi encaminhado a RECIC Soluções ambientais, que trabalha com compostagem de resíduos. A educação ambiental teve forte visibilidade através de 9 tipos de placas informativas, instaladas no local do evento, além de 3 reuniões focadas na sustentabilidade do evento. Assim, foi possível observar a importância da inserção da sustentabilidade nos eventos, pois ali é o local para discussão de temas importantes para toda a sociedade. Cada vez mais é necessário observarmos nossas atitudes, indo ao encontro de propósitos sustentáveis, mostrando o quanto é importante, o cuidado com o meio ambiente, através de atitudes e mudanças simples, contribuindo assim com os Objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável (ODS).
Percepção ambiental e a perspectiva da psicologia histórico-cultural: um diálogo necessário

O presente ensaio teórico busca apresentar aspectos convergentes entre os pressupostos da percepção ambiental como ferramenta para práticas educativas na temática ambiental e por meio de alguns preceitos da psicologia histórico-cultural propostos por Vigotski, evidenciando um diálogo necessário que pode contribuir para a formação socioambiental de estudantes da educação básica. A revisão bibliográfica propôs estabelecer pontos de balizamento entre o referencial vigotskiano e os estudos que têm indicado a aplicação da percepção ambiental como ferramenta potente para propor ações de Educação Ambiental no contexto escolar. Os estudos sobre percepção ambiental indicam contribuição essencial para a compreensão acerca das atitudes vigentes e para a formulação de propostas educativas que busquem a sensibilização e o desenvolvimento de posturas responsáveis perante o ambiente vivenciado pelos educandos. Neste sentido, estabelece diálogo com a teoria histórico-cultural de Vigotski, já que nesta perspectiva teórica o foco da formação da percepção dos indivíduos ocorre na aquisição de conhecimentos pela interação do sujeito com o meio ambiente físico e humano. Dessa forma, encontramos no arcabouço teórico vigotskiano a validação das propostas educativas que indicam a percepção ambiental como fundamental para o ensino e o aprendizado das temáticas socioambientais, promovendo através da aprendizagem efetiva a tomada de uma consciência ambiental crítica que impulsione os estudantes a assumirem um protagonismo nas necessárias transformações no ambiente, no sentido de promover a reversão da grave crise ambiental que vivenciamos atualmente. Pesquisas de caráter teórico são essenciais para repensarmos a importância das temáticas socioambientais de acordo com determinados referenciais teóricos e realizar novas propostas de enfrentamento da realidade socioambiental.
Comparative Analysis of Channel Coding in Communication Technology
Authors: Li Wenlei
Published: June 2024

The performance analysis of Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) and Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) employing error-correcting code is highlighted in this work. Several error-correcting code types were employed via an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel to determine the bit error rate. Two techniques were utilized as encoders and decoders: hamming code and cyclic code. Source coding used Huffman coding. Essentially, signal energy to noise power density ratio (Eb/No) and the bit rate error (BER) were used to measure performance. Comparisons were also made between BPSK and QPSK in terms of symbol error capability. MATLAB R2022b was the program used for all the simulations. The conclusion is that different coding methods have a certain error correction range, and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can only reduce the BER in the error correction range, and if it is not within the error correction range, it will increase the bit error rate.

Economics is an essential type of science currently, and with the development of linear algebra becoming increasingly rich, it is widely used in problem-solving in economics, especially in the matrix analysis part. When making investment decisions, the help of matrices is indispensable, therefore, extensive learning is needed to make good use of mathematics to solve practical problems. Many models can be applied to matrix analysis. This article utilizes the famous Markowitz combination optimization model, utilizes the covariance matrix, and analyzes how to invest in four stocks based on the idea of minimizing investment risk while obtaining expected returns, making investment decisions very reasonable. In many similar situations, Markowitz combination optimization models can be used to assist investment decision-making, often resulting in better results. Finally, the Markowitz optimization portfolio can be used to solve many investment portfolio points on the effective frontier, and then fitted to these points to obtain the effective frontier. Based on the effective frontier and combined with the Sharpe ratio, the best investment portfolio can be selected from the effective frontier. This article can solve many investment decision-making problems in economics.
