Authors: VYSOCHAN Z.U.
Published: March 2023

The article clarifies the psychological factors and components of the formation of dialogical and communicative competence of future lawyers as an important component of their professional and personal development. The basic aspect of studying this problem in the form of psychophysiological characteristics (thinking, motivation, intention emotion) of a law student is revealed. In the process of dialogue, these linguistic and psychological factors are intertwined with language, which are divided into two groups: objective (language; sociocultural situation of language development and traditions of its use; the functioning of language in various spheres of life) and subjective (readiness to receive language education; language education in the family and educational institutions; performance of language duties). Together, these factors determine the process of formation of the linguistic personality of a law student and his dialogical and communicative competence.

Authors: PROKHACH A.V. , ZAVIZION V.F. , BONDARENKO I.M. , KHODZHUZH M.I.
Published: March 2023

The spread of COVID-19 has prompted a revision of the possibilities of distance learning technologies and contributed to their introduction as basic learning technologies to ensure the continuity of the educational process in extreme conditions. Distance learning has both positive aspects, such as saving time, the ability to educate more people, and disadvantages, namely the lack of practical skills, the inferiority of the emotional component of education. Aspects and issues of distance learning of students of the international faculty, classes which are conducted in a foreign language, are analyzed. The main differences between the education of students of international faculties and students of domestic faculties are noted. The issues of communicative relations, psychological aspects of distance relations, language issues, logistics of distance learning and methodological problems are described in detail. It has been suggested that distance learning may be equally effective in full-time education for theoretical subjects, but in the study of clinical disciplines, the priority is traditional methods of education, which include learning at the patient’s bedside.

Published: March 2023

The professional organization of the Indonesian Aeronautical Information Management Association always tries to increase the motivation of its members. One of INAIMA's work programs to make this happen is to elect the AIS Officer of The Year. In practice, the selection of AIS Officer of the Year is still carried out by collecting data manually without using a system so that it takes longer time to process the data. Furthermore, the results obtained from the election are also not objective because there is no method of calculating the criteria for evaluating candidates, so a decision support system is needed that can provide objective election results and is able to speed up the evaluation process. The method used in designing this decision support system is the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) where the stages include planning, analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. ). The calculation of the weight value of the criteria and alternatives on the system uses the AHP-TOPSIS method. The result is a web-based decision support system that is able to provide a more precise and objective assessment of candidates.

Published: March 2023

We present a data-driven approach to automatically detect L dwarfs from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) images using an improved Faster R-CNN framework based on deep learning. The established L-dwarf automatic detection (LDAD) model distinguishes L dwarfs from other celestial objects and backgrounds in SDSS field images by learning the features of 387 SDSS images containing L dwarfs. Applying the LDAD model to the SDSS images containing 93 labeled L dwarfs in the test set, we successfully detected 83 known L dwarfs with a recall rate of 89.25% for known L dwarfs. Several techniques are implemented in the LDAD model to improve its detection performance for L dwarfs, including the deep residual network and the feature pyramid network. As a result, the LDAD model outperforms the model of the original Faster R-CNN, whose recall rate of known L dwarfs is 80.65% for the same test set. The LDAD model was applied to detect L dwarfs from a larger validation set including 843 labeled L dwarfs, resulting in a recall rate of 94.42% for known L dwarfs. The newly identified candidates include L dwarfs, late M and T dwarfs, which were estimated from color (i − z) and spectral type relation. The contamination rates for the test candidates and validation candidates are 8.60% and 9.27%, respectively. The detection results indicate that our model is effective to search for L dwarfs from astronomical images.
Single-band VLBI Absolute Astrometry
Authors: Petrov Leonid
Published: March 2023

The ionospheric path delay impacts single-band, very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) group delays, which limits their applicability for absolute astrometry. I consider two important cases: when observations are made simultaneously in two bands, but delays in only one band are available for a subset of observations; and when observations are made in one-band design. I developed optimal procedures of data analysis for both cases using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) ionosphere maps, provided a stochastic model that describes ionospheric errors, and evaluated their impact on source position estimates. I demonstrate that the stochastic model is accurate at a level of 15%. I found that using GNSS ionospheric maps as is introduces serious biases in estimates of declination and I developed a procedure that almost eliminates them. I found serendipitously that GNSS ionospheric maps have multiplicative errors and have to be scaled by 0.85 in order to mitigate the declination bias. A similar scale factor was found in comparison of the vertical total electron content from satellite altimetry against GNSS ionospheric maps. I favor interpretation of this scaling factor as a manifestation of the inadequacy of the thin-shell model of the ionosphere. I showed that we are able to model the ionospheric path delay to the extent that no noticeable systematic errors emerge and we are able to assess adequately the contribution of the ionosphere-driven random errors on source positions. This makes single-band absolute astrometry a viable option that can be used for source position determination.
The Circular Velocity Curve of the Milky Way from 5–25 kpc Using Luminous Red Giant Branch Stars
Authors: Zhou Yuan , Li Xinyi , Huang Yang , Zhang Huawei
Published: March 2023

We present a sample of 254,882 luminous red giant branch (LRGB) stars selected from the APOGEE and LAMOST surveys. By combining photometric and astrometric information from the Two Micron All Sky Survey and Gaia survey, the precise distances of the sample stars are determined by a supervised machine-learning algorithm: the gradient-boosted decision trees. To test the accuracy of the derived distances, member stars of globular clusters (GCs) and open clusters are used. The tests by cluster member stars show a precision of about 10% with negligible zero-point offsets, for the derived distances of our sample stars. The final sample covers a large volume of the Galactic disk(s) and halo of 0 < R < 30 kpc and ∣Z∣ ≤ 15 kpc. The rotation curve (RC) of the Milky Way across the radius of 5 ≲ R ≲ 25 kpc has been accurately measured with ∼54,000 stars of the thin disk population selected from the LRGB sample. The derived RC shows a weak decline along R with a gradient of −1.83 ± 0.02 (stat.) ± 0.07 (sys.) km s−1 kpc−1, in excellent agreement with the results measured by previous studies. The circular velocity at the solar position, yielded by our RC is 234.04 ± 0.08 (stat.) ± 1.36 (sys.) km s−1, again in great consistency with other independent determinations. From the newly constructed RC, as well as constraints from other data, we have constructed a mass model for our Galaxy, yielding a mass of the dark matter halo of M
200 = (8.05 ± 1.15) × 1011
M
⊙ with a corresponding radius of R
200 = 192.37 ± 9.24 kpc and a local dark matter density of 0.39 ± 0.03 GeV cm−3.
Modest Dust Settling in the IRAS04302+2247 Class I Protoplanetary Disk

We present new Very Large Array observations, between 6.8 and 66 mm, of the edge-on Class I disk IRAS04302+2247. Observations at 6.8 mm and 9.2 mm lead to the detection of thermal emission from the disk, while shallow observations at the other wavelengths are used to correct for emission from other processes. The disk radial brightness profile transitions from broadly extended in previous Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array 0.9 mm and 2.1 mm observations to much more centrally brightened at 6.8 mm and 9.2 mm, which can be explained by optical depth effects. The radiative transfer modeling of the 0.9 mm, 2.1 mm, and 9.2 mm data suggests that the grains are smaller than 1 cm in the outer regions of the disk, allowing us to obtain the first lower limit for the scale height of grains emitting at millimeter wavelengths in a protoplanetary disk. We find that the millimeter dust scale height is between 1 au and 6 au at a radius 100 au from the central star, while the gas scale height is estimated to be about 7 au, indicating a modest level of settling. The estimated dust height is intermediate between less evolved Class 0 sources, which are found to be vertically thick, and more evolved Class II sources, which show a significant level of settling. This suggests that we are witnessing an intermediate stage of dust settling.
Acceleration of Relativistic Particles in Counterpropagating Circularly Polarized Alfvén Waves
Authors: Isayama S. , Takahashi K. , Matsukiyo S. , Sano T.
Published: March 2023

Counterpropagating Alfvén waves are ubiquitously observed in many astrophysical environments, such as a star surface and a planetary foreshock. We discuss an efficient particle acceleration mechanism in two counterpropagating circularly polarized Alfvén waves. Phase transitions of particle behavior occur when wave amplitudes exceed two critical values. Above the critical amplitudes, the numerical simulation shows that any particles irreversibly gain relativistic energy within a short time regardless of their initial position and energy once the coherent waveform is formed. The accelerated particles have spatial coherence. Higher wave phase velocity requires smaller critical amplitudes, while the maximum attainable energy increases as the wavenumber and the frequency decrease. The results may be applicable in some astrophysical phenomena, as well as a future laboratory experiment using high-power lasers.
Evaluating five primer pairs for environmental DNA metabarcoding of Central European fish species based on mock communities
Authors: Macher Till-Hendrik , Schütz Robin , Yildiz Atakan , Beermann Arne , Leese Florian
Published: March 2023

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has become a powerful tool for examining fish communities. The demand for methodological standardization and the implementation of eDNA-based assessments into the regulatory monitoring (e.g., Water Framework Directive) are imminent. To ensure methodical accuracy and to meet regulatory standards, various sampling, laboratory and bioinformatic workflows have been established. However, a crucial prerequisite for a comprehensive fish monitoring is the choice of suitable primer pairs to accurately depict the present fish fauna. Various fish-specific primer pairs targeting different genetic marker regions were published over the past decade. However, a dedicated study to evaluate performance of frequently applied fish primer pairs to assess Central European fish species has not yet been conducted. Therefore, we created an artificial community composed of DNA from 45 Central European fish species and examined the discriminatory power and reproducibility of five fish primer pairs. Our study highlights the effect of the primer choice and bioinformatic filtering on the outcome of eDNA metabarcoding results. From the five primer pairs evaluated in our study the tele02 (12S gene) primer pair proved to be best choice for eDNA metabarcoding of Central European freshwater fish. Here, the MiFish-U (12S) and SeaDNA-mid (COI) primer pairs also displayed good discriminatory power and reproducibility. However, more general primer pairs (i.e., targeting vertebrates) were found to be less reliable and generated high numbers of false-positive and false-negative detections. Our study illustrates how careful selection of primer pairs and bioinformatic pipelines can make eDNA metabarcoding a more reliable tool for fish monitoring.
Post-Covid Brazil and the new government: Economy and foreign policy
Authors: Carvalho Carlos Eduardo , Massaroli de Melo Tatiana , Daldegan William
Published: March 2023

The Brazilian economy has more continuity than ruptures in the end of the pandemic as well over former Bolsonaro’s government closure. Positive economic indicators since 2021 were followed by a further slowdown at the end of 2022, keeping the pattern of weak growth moments in the midst of a near stagnation trend. The export of goods based on natural resources remains a positive factor as in the previous decades, though with the same problems of low leverage capacity of productivity diffusion to other sectors. The public sector faces great difficulties when trying to promote growth and modernization because of fiscal rigidity aggravated by mandatory expenses and varied resistance to cutting spending and redirecting expenses caused by conflicts that are hard to coordinate. After a brief presentation of the economic indicators at the end of 2022, the paper highlights three elements that condition the economic policy in the post-Covid Brazil: the rigidity of fiscal framework; export industry performance and deindustrialization; resumption of the foreign policy that will allow the country to benefit from the international scenario.

Chapitre 5. L’innovation frugale au service de systèmes de santé durables
Authors: Ravez Laurent
Published: March 2023

La bioéthique est parfois présentée comme une série de repères universels visant à réguler les pratiques de soin et les recherches sur l’être humain. Une telle présentation ne tient cependant pas la route face à l’histoire de la discipline. La bioéthique est née dans le contexte idéologique particulier qui régnait aux Etats-Unis dans les années 1960-1970. Doit-on alors abandonner tout espoir d’universalité pour des repères éthiques qui ont fait la preuve de leur utilité pour éclairer les pratiques de santé ? En distinguant soigneusement l’universel de l’uniforme, cette contribution montre, à partir des travaux de G. Tangwa, qu’il est possible de respecter les spécificités des cultures dans le monde, tout en gardant une visée universelle à la bioéthique.
Digital infrastructure strategies: the case of the province of Caserta
Authors: Pane Paolo , de Andreis Federico
Published: March 2023

The digital economy and the associated productivity gains generated by the diffusion of the Internet are considered fundamental components of growth models. Scientific reflection converges in considering balanced access to digital services as a diriment factor for the promotion of competitiveness, equity, economic development and social and environmental sustainability. Although the availability of infrastructure is not sufficient to achieve the full development of the territory and the community, it is nevertheless an unavoidable prerequisite for today's and future technological and digital applications and, therefore, investigating the type of association between the presence of communication networks and the socio-economic structure of the territories is essential to understanding the very nature of multidimensional inequalities and their spatial and geographical distribution, within a framework that sees infrastructure as a conversion factor and means of development for capabilities. Based on the theories of social exclusion, the capability approach and critical theory, the research presented aims to investigate, through the analysis of a case study, the possible association between the state of progress of broadband implementation and specific territorial configurations, considering also different variables of a geographical nature.

Fuzzy topological indices are getting attention these days due to their vast applications in daily life. In crisp case, topological indices are beneficial in chemical graph theory but as far as fuzzy graph theory is concerned, fuzzy topological indices are useful in identifying human trafficking, and multi-criteria decision-making environments. In this paper, we have computed the fuzzy topological indices such as the first and second fuzzy Zagreb indices, Randic index, and Harmonic index for the $ Pz_{n} $ pizza graph. We have found generalized results for the above-mentioned structure.
Different types of multifractal measures in separable metric spaces and their applications
Authors: Attia Najmeddine , Selmi Bilel
Published: March 2023

The properties of various fractal and multifractal measures and dimensions have been under extensive study in the real-line and higher-dimensional Euclidean spaces. In non-Euclidean spaces, it is often impossible to construct non-trivial self-similar or self-conformal sets, etc. We consider in the present paper the proper way to phrase the definitions for use in general metric spaces. We investigate the relative Hausdorff measures $ {\mathscr H}_{ {\boldsymbol{\mu}}}^{q, t} $ and the relative packing measures $ {\mathscr P}_{ {\boldsymbol{\mu}}}^{q, t} $ defined in a separable metric space. We give some product inequalities which are a consequence of a new version of density theorems for these measures. Moreover, we prove that $ {\mathscr H}_{ {\boldsymbol{\mu}}}^{q, t} $ and $ {\mathscr P}_{ {\boldsymbol{\mu}}}^{q, t} $ can be expressed as Henstock-Thomson variation measures. The question of the weak-Vitali property arises in this context.

Published: March 2023

As an agricultural innovation, low-temperature plasma technology is an environmentally friendly green technology that increases crop quality and productivity. However, there is a lack of research on the identification of plasma-treated rice growth. Although traditional convolutional neural networks (CNN) can automatically share convolution kernels and extract features, the outputs are only suitable for entry-level categorization. Indeed, shortcuts from the bottom layers to fully connected layers can be established feasibly in order to utilize spatial and local information from the bottom layers, which contain small distinctions necessary for fine-grain identification. In this work, 5000 original images which contain the basic growth information of rice (including plasma treated rice and the control rice) at the tillering stage were collected. An efficient multiscale shortcut CNN (MSCNN) model utilizing key information and cross-layer features was proposed. The results show that MSCNN outperforms the mainstream models in terms of accuracy, recall, precision and F1 score with 92.64%, 90.87%, 92.88% and 92.69%, respectively. Finally, the ablation experiment, comparing the average precision of MSCNN with and without shortcuts, revealed that the MSCNN with three shortcuts achieved the best performance with the highest precision.

Objectives: Although it is difficult to define the quality of stroke care, acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with moderate-to-severe neurological deficits may benefit from thrombectomy-capable hospitals (TCHs) that have a stroke unit, stroke specialists, and a substantial endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) case volume.Methods: From national audit data collected between 2013 and 2016, potential EVT candidates arriving within 24 hours with a baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score ≥6 were identified. Hospitals were classified as TCHs (≥15 EVT case/y, stroke unit, and stroke specialists), primary stroke hospitals (PSHs) without EVT (PSHs-without-EVT, 0 case/y), and PSHs-with-EVT. Thirty-day and 1-year case-fatality rates (CFRs) were analyzed using random intercept multilevel logistic regression.Results: Out of 35 004 AIS patients, 7954 (22.7%) EVT candidates were included in this study. The average 30-day CFR was 16.3% in PSHs-without-EVT, 14.8% in PSHs-with-EVT, and 11.0% in TCHs. The average 1-year CFR was 37.5% in PSHs-without-EVT, 31.3% in PSHs-with-EVT, and 26.2% in TCHs. In TCHs, a significant reduction was not found in the 30-day CFR (odds ratio [OR], 0.92; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.76 to 1.12), but was found in the 1-year CFR (OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.73 to 0.96).Conclusions: The 1-year CFR was significantly reduced when EVT candidates were treated at TCHs. TCHs are not defined based solely on the number of EVTs, but also based on the presence of a stroke unit and stroke specialists. This supports the need for TCH certification in Korea and suggests that annual EVT case volume could be used to qualify TCHs.
The Inconceivability Argument
Authors: Cutter Brian
Published: March 2023

This paper develops and defends a new argument against physicalist views of consciousness: the inconceivability argument. The argument has two main premises. First, it is not (ideally, positively) conceivable that phenomenal truths are grounded in physical truths. (For example, one cannot positively conceive of a situation in which someone has a vivid experience of pink wholly in virtue of the movements of colorless, insentient atoms.) Second, (ideal, positive) inconceivability is a guide to falsity. I attempt to show that the inconceivability argument enjoys a significant advantage over the more familiar conceivability argument. One can reasonably endorse the inconceivability argument without endorsing the conceivability argument, but one cannot reasonably endorse the conceivability argument without also endorsing the inconceivability argument.
The Second Revolution of Moral Fictionalism
Authors: Gerritsen Eline
Published: March 2023

If our moral beliefs rest on a mistake, as moral error theorists claim, what should we do with them? According to Richard Joyce’s revolutionary moral fictionalism, error theorists should pretend to believe moral propositions in order to keep the benefits moral thinking has for their preference satisfaction. This, he claims, frees error theory from radical practical implications. In response, I argue that implementing fictionalism would not preserve our moral practices, but disrupt them. The change from moral belief to make-belief yields an unintended second revolution: a revolution in the content of morality. I show that fictionalism necessarily relies on a similar justification of moral practices as David Gauthier’s contractarianism, and consequently has similar implications for moral content. Because fictionalists engage in moral thinking purely for its instrumental value, they should only accept moral obligations that are useful to them into their fiction. This restriction is important: the most useful moral fiction departs substantially from conventional moral views. Revolutionary moral fictionalism is therefore more radical than it is promised to be.
Knowledge, Practical Knowledge, and Intentional Action
Authors: Shepherd Joshua , Carter J. Adam
Published: March 2023

We argue that any strong version of a knowledge condition on intentional action, the practical knowledge principle, on which knowledge of what I am doing (under some description: call it A-ing) is necessary for that A-ing to qualify as an intentional action, is false. Our argument involves a new kind of case, one that centers the agent’s control appropriately and thus improves upon Davidson’s well-known carbon copier case. After discussing this case, offering an initial argument against the knowledge condition, and discussing recent treatments that cover nearby ground, we consider several objections. One we consider at some length maintains that although contemplative knowledge may be disconnected from intentional action, specifically practical knowledge of the sort Anscombe elucidated escapes our argument. We demonstrate that this is not so. Our argument illuminates an important truth, often overlooked in discussions of the knowledge-intentional action relationship: intentional action and knowledge have different levels of permissiveness regarding failure in similar circumstances.
Can the World Be Indeterminate in All Respects?
Authors: Ho Chien-hsing
Published: March 2023

Especially over the past twenty years, a number of analytic philosophers have embraced the idea that the world itself is vague or indeterminate in one or more respects. The issue then arises as to whether it can be the case that the world itself is indeterminate in all respects. Using as a basis Chinese Madhyamaka Buddhist thought, I offer two reasons for the coherence and intelligibility of the thesis that all concrete things are themselves indeterminate with respect to the ways they are. The first reason draws on a notion reminiscent of the picture of reality as an amorphous lump, while the second reason makes use of the relativity of conceptual perspectives and determinations. Assuming that the world is the mere totality of all concrete things, I show that there is a genuine metaphysical possibility of the world’s being indeterminate in all respects.
Extended Dispositionalism and Determinism
Authors: Werner Jonas
Published: March 2023

Modal dispositionalists hold that dispositions provide the foundation of metaphysical necessity and possibility. According to the kind of modal dispositionalism that can be found in the present literature, a proposition p is possible just in case some things are disposed to be such that p. In the first part of this paper I show that combining this classic form of dispositionalism with the assumptions that the laws of nature are necessary and deterministic and that all dispositions are forward-looking in time leads to the unattractive conclusion that every truth is necessary. I argue that the classic dispositionalist should be troubled by this result and in the second part of the paper I suggest a novel variant of dispositionalism that avoids it. This extended form of dispositionalism allows that some propositions are only indirectly underwritten by dispositions.
Allostatic Leadership
Authors: Jafari Esmaeil
Published: March 2023

The chapter seeks to provide new and appropriate insights and answers for academic leaders that help them to experience better conditions in times of crisis and unforeseen situations and provide a suitable response to circumstances. Looking to the future, the emergence of an “allostatic leader” with an adaptive capacity to learn and evolve in a crisis, as well as to deal with future stresses and crises, is considered very important. Therefore, first, the concept of allostatic leadership was discussed. Next, the difference between allostatic leadership and adaptive leadership was explained. Then the development of allostatic leaders in crisis and stressful situations has been discussed. Finally, the best allostatic leadership practices are considered for academic leaders to go through crises and unexpected situations. Although these strategies are described in an academic context and in order to face the crises of the new COVID-19 pandemic, they can be equally applied by professionals in other industries facing their own crises.
Characterisation of a San Mai Steel Composite for the Manufacture of Knives
Authors: Strobl Susanne , Haubner Roland
Published: March 2023

The term San Mai is used for the manufacture of knife blades consisting of three layered steel composites. The middle layer, which forms the cutting edge, consists of hard steel and on the outside a soft stainless steel is forged. Mr. Benjamin Kamon, an Austrian blacksmith, provided the examined sample. Three different steels and a thin Ni layer are symmetrically connected (1.4301/1.3520/Ni/1.2519/Ni/1.3520/1.4301). The middle layer is a cold work steel (1.2519) and the Ni layer is to prevent diffusion processes. 1.3520 is a heat treatable steel for rolling bearings, followed by an austenitic stainless steel (1.4301). Metallography and SEM-EDX were used to study the microstructure, the interfaces between the different steels as well as diffusion zones. It can be stated that all layers are well connected and no defects are evident.

This study illustrates how the mechanical characteristics of a composite may be altered by adding powdered natural fillers such as fish scales or coconut shells. Hand lay-up approach has been used to create the Jute/Basalt hybrid composite with fillers. The epoxy and hardener were combined at a weight ratio of 10:1, and then the natural fillers were added at varied percentages of 3%, 6%, and 9%. The ASTM standards were used for the mechanical test. Fish scale filler has greater tensile and flexural strengths than coconut shell powder, but the latter's impact strength grows with increasing amounts of filler. Jute/basalt composites were also subjected to a water absorption test, the results of which showed that those containing fish scale powder absorbed significantly less water than those containing coconut shell powder.
A Study of the Relationship between the Rate of Return Strain of Polytetrafluoroethylene on Time, Mechanical Stress and Dose of Electron Irradiation
Authors: Kupchishin Anatoliy I. , Niyazov Marat N. , Taipova Buvkhan G.
Published: March 2023

The paper is devoted to the study of the influence of factors on the rate of return deformation of polytetrafluoroethylene. The dependence of the rate of return strain (ε'r) on time (t), the dose of electron irradiation (D) and mechanical stress (σ) in thin films of polytetrafluoroethylene has been experimentally investigated. Significant variations of ε'r have been found dependingon on t, D and σ. A decrease in the rate of return deformation during irradiation of the material is associated with the frictional properties between macromolecules and a change in the structure, which leads to a weaker straightening of the polymer and their poor sliding. The resulting curves for both unirradiated and irradiated material are satisfactorily described in the exponential and linear models. For dependencies ε'r on D, these are decreasing functions, and for ε'r on σ, these are increasing functions.
