Assessment of water quality status in the impact area of the “Piškornica” landfill
Authors: Mikulić Nenad , Andričević Roko , Gotovac Hrvoje , Kalčiček Matea , Nardi Bojana
Published: December 2020

Disposal of household and industrial waste at
the Piškornica site began in 1982 on what was then an unmanaged landfill cell,
which allowed contamination to pass into underground layers. Landfill rehabilitation
was conducted between 2005 and 2013 and conformed to the environmental
protection conditions and measures that were prescribed by an EIA procedure,
but rehabilitation still has not been fully completed. An environmental permit
was issued for rehabilitation of the landfill. The decision and environmental permit
prescribed groundwater quality monitoring. Prior to these documents, five piezometers
were placed into operation in 1991. The objective of this paper is to determine
the potential differences in ground and surface water quality that may have resulted
from landfill operations, effectiveness of the rehabilitation efforts, and the
potential risk of contamination of the Ivanščak water well. The results of the
research were subjected to statistical analyses (e.g., T-test and ANOVA). Based
on the regional flow model, a numerical groundwater flow model and
contamination transport model were created, which provided scenarios for the potential
spread of pollution from the Piškornica landfill while considering different
water well operation regimes. It was concluded that a) even though
rehabilitation has not been completed, the groundwater quality status improved
and b) none of the analysed real flow scenarios generated redirection of
streamline patterns towards the Ivanščak water well. Considering future
development and likely increase of the Ivanščak well capacity, the expansion of
monitoring was proposed for additional measuring locations
Substantiation the machine with a basket for the application of mineral fertilizers and other bulk materials with the upper arrangement of the feeding device
Authors: H. Fesenko,
Published: December 2020

Purpose. Increasing the uniformity of distribution of mineral fertilizers and other bulk materials due to the stability of their feed from the body to the spreading working bodies using the top feeder.
Methods. The following methods are used to achieve this aim: the method of comparing the differences between individual groups of fertilizers, the method of analyzing the properties of a new technical system, the method of functional inventiveness, and the methods of theoretical and analytical mechanics.
Results. The traction body of the conveyor of the upper feed of the body fat body machine for mineral fertilizers and other bulk materials was substantiated and the relationship between the height of its scrapers and the distance between them was established, as well as the nature of the mineral fertilizer pressure on the curvilinear wall of the body. In addition, the design of the advanced body fertilizer spreader is justified, which ensures a stable flow of fertilizers from the body due to the improvement of the top feeder.
Conclusions. Because of the conducted researches, the advantages of machines equipped with top feeder are found. They create the conditions for the forced feeding mineral fertilizers and other loose materials from the container to the distribution bodies, which is a prerequisite for their evenness on the surface.
With this, the imperfection of known machines with the top feeder constrains their introduction into agricultural production. On this account, a more thoroughly constructed solution of the body feeder of the top feed is substantiated, in which the conveyor provides a stable supply of fertilizers from the body with reduced energy consumption during operation.
Keywords: analysis, feed, upper device, conveyor, stability, fertilizers, flow ability, body.
THE STORY OF OEDIPUS: REVENGE PLOT AND A STATUE OF MITYS
Authors:   GITR Film & Television School. Moscow, Russia, Pimonov V.I.
Published: December 2020

Object of the article: This study focuses on the revenge plot in the story of Oedipus. Subject of the article: The author argues that the revenge scheme based on the story about “the statue of Mitys at Argos, which killed the man who caused Mitys's death falling on him”, described by Aristotle, is in fact implemented in the story of Oedipus in a hidden way. The author draws a parallel between a role of the statue of Colonus in “Oedipus at Colonus” by Sophocles (which the author considers as an inseparable part of the Oedipus story – along with “Oedipus Tyrannus”) and a role of the statue of Mitys. Purpose of research: The article describes the structure of the story of Oedipus in the light of the revenge motif. Results: The author argues that the plot structure of the Oedipus story is based on the inversion of the roles of “murderer” and “avenger”, when “murderer” becomes “victim” and “victim” becomes “murderer”. This inversion happens as a result of “splitting” of the “victim”, when the act of vengeance is performed not by the “victim” proper, but their double. Oedipus is split into two different figures, thus becoming a double of himself. Oedipus in the role of “murderer”, who kills Laius in a quarrel at the crossroads, symbolically is a double of Oedipus in the role of “victim”, who, as Laius believes, had been killed by him as a newborn baby. Furthermore, Oedipus in the role of “avenger”, who “avenges” the murder of Laius by blinding the murderer in a symbolic act of suicide, already knows that he is a parricide, while Oedipus in the role of “murderer”, who kills Laius, does not yet know that he kills his father. Field of application: literary studies, structural poetics, classics. Conclusion: The story of Oedipus is based on the revenge plot, which unfolds through prophecies and foreshadowing, prefiguring the alternation of the acts of murder and revenge. For their great assistance and helpful advice, I am indebted to Dan Whitman and Svetlana Gracheva.

In situ observations of the transition between beryl and phenakite in aqueous solutions using a hydrothermal diamond-anvil cell
Authors: Wang Xian , Li Jiankang
Published: December 2020

Beryl and phenakite are important industrial beryllium minerals. In the hydrous melt of the BeO–Al2O3–SiO2–H2O (BASH) system, experiments using quench-type high-temperature and high-pressure equipment have revealed that the different activities of Al2O3 and SiO2 (αAl2O3 and αSiO2) are the main factors that lead to different beryllium mineral assemblages. In this study, we attempted in situ observation of the crystallization process of phenakite and beryl in an aqueous solution of the BASH system using a hydrothermal diamond-anvil cell. Experimental results indicate that phenakite and beryl can crystallize faster in this regime (i.e., 2.93–0.58 × 10−5 cm/s in length and 22.39–3.23 μm3/s in volume) than from a hydrous melt. In addition, in the phenakite and beryl crystallization, pressure–temperature conditions were greater than 467 °C and 220 MPa and 495 °C and 221 MPa, respectively, and their upper temperatures and pressures attained 845–870 °C and 500–1300 MPa. These features indicate that temperature is not the main factor that controls the stability of phenakite and beryl in the BASH system. This stability can be attributed to the diffusion of components in aqueous solution that change αSiO2 and αAl2O3 during the heating and cooling processes. During heating, αSiO2 increases while beryl is dissolving, which leads to phenakite crystallization; during cooling, αSiO2 and αAl2O3 are sufficient for the remaining beryl to recrystallize. Therefore, the transition between phenakite and beryl in the aqueous solution in the BASH system may be different during heating and cooling processes. This reasoning can explain the abundance of phenakite in miarolitic cavities and the occurrence of phenakite, rather than beryl, in hydrothermally altered pegmatites, volcanic rocks, and other beryllium-rich rocks.

Authors: Milne Alice E. , Bianco Roberta , Poole Katarina C. , Zhao Sijia , Oxenham Andrew J. , Billig Alexander J. , Chait Maria
Published: December 2020

Online experimental platforms can be used as an alternative to, or complement, lab-based research. However, when conducting auditory experiments via online methods, the researcher has limited control over the participants’ listening environment. We offer a new method to probe one aspect of that environment, headphone use. Headphones not only provide better control of sound presentation but can also “shield” the listener from background noise. Here we present a rapid (< 3 min) headphone screening test based on Huggins Pitch (HP), a perceptual phenomenon that can only be detected when stimuli are presented dichotically. We validate this test using a cohort of “Trusted” online participants who completed the test using both headphones and loudspeakers. The same participants were also used to test an existing headphone test (AP test; Woods et al., 2017, Attention Perception Psychophysics). We demonstrate that compared to the AP test, the HP test has a higher selectivity for headphone users, rendering it as a compelling alternative to existing methods. Overall, the new HP test correctly detects 80% of headphone users and has a false-positive rate of 20%. Moreover, we demonstrate that combining the HP test with an additional test–either the AP test or an alternative based on a beat test (BT)–can lower the false-positive rate to ~ 7%. This should be useful in situations where headphone use is particularly critical (e.g., dichotic or spatial manipulations). Code for implementing the new tests is publicly available in JavaScript and through Gorilla (gorilla.sc).

Haben pränatale Steroide psychiatrische Folgen?
Authors: Marty Natalie
Published: December 2020

Unter Psychopharmaka kann es zu einer massiven Gewichtszunahme kommen. Dafür sind in erster Linie Neuroleptika und einzelne Antidepressiva verantwortlich. Im Rahmen eines deutschen Forschungsprojekts zur Arzneimittelsicherheit wurden solche Fälle anlässlich von Klinikaufenthalten erfasst. Da diese Aufenthalte teilweise nur kurz dauerten, fand sich allerdings nur bei knapp 0,1% aller psychiatrisch Hospitalisierten eine Gewichtszunahme um mehr als 10 kg. In der Praxis sind solche Fälle wohl viel häufiger.

The Political Status of Uncontrolled Territories in Russia’s Foreign Policy Strategy: A Challenge to Ukrainian Atypical Diplomacy
Authors: Perepelytsia Hryhorii
Published: December 2020

The article deals with the problem of resolving the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in Donbas, which in reality is a Russian-Ukrainian local war waged in its hybrid form. The author’s main focus is riveted on the analysis of ways to resolve this conflict chosen by the Ukrainian authorities, relying exclusively on peaceful political and diplomatic means. The article raises the question of the feasibility of the goal to end the war and restore Ukraine’s control over its state border, as promised by President V. Zelenskyy, in the exclusively peaceful political and diplomatic way on which he has embarked.
In considering the pursuit of ending the war by ‘resolving the internal conflict’, the author analyses similar cases of peacekeeping operations and concludes that such a path is futile. The main reason for this fiasco is the erroneous substitution of the concept of ‘internal conflict’ for ‘war’. Therefore, the priority is not the means of warfare but the means of conflict resolution. In this case, the occupied territories, which must be liberated in any war, are replaced by the term ‘uncontrolled territories’. Thus, the substantive content of this article is devoted to exploring the status of uncontrolled territories due to Russia’s usage of this status in the war against Ukraine in its bellicose foreign policy and the threat they pose to the territorial integrity and national security of Ukraine.
Taking stock of the negotiation processes and initiatives of the Ukrainian authorities within the Minsk and Normandy formats with regard to determining the status of the uncontrolled territories, it becomes obvious that ending the war with Russia in the format of resolving the internal conflict in Donbas by peaceful diplomatic means is impossible without reaching a compromise with the so-called DPR/LPR or ORDLO. Besides, such a compromise seems unattainable without recognising their legal personality – something the ‘Kozak-Yermak’ plan proposed to implement through their inclusion in the ‘Advisory Board’. In turn, the recognition of the legal personality of these uncontrolled territories will entail the determination of their special status with their subsequent incorporation in Ukraine’s Constitution. This will lead to the federalisation of the state system of Ukraine with further fatal consequences for its state sovereignty. It is possible to prevent such ramifications by choosing several alternative forecast scenarios for the further course of the interstate Russian-Ukrainian conflict set out in the final part of the article.
Keywords: uncontrolled territories, DPR/LPR, ORDLO, ‘Kozak-Yermak’ plan, Advisory Board, atypical diplomacy, interstate Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

Authors: Corelli Robin , Cheung Karen , Ankrah Dennis , Blatt Michael , Hudmon Karen
Published: December 2020

Purpose:
To characterize the long-term impact of a shared, evidence-based tobacco cessation curriculum (Rx for Change) on tobacco-related education in California schools of pharmacy (n=8).

Methods:
Faculty members responsible for teaching tobacco-related content completed a survey assessing implementation of tobacco education, curricular time devoted to tobacco, and teaching and assessment methods utilized. Using historical data, the total number of students trained since 2000 was estimated.

Results:
All schools utilized the shared curriculum, and in 2012–2013, a median of 435 minutes (range: 240–600 minutes) was devoted to tobacco-related content within required curricula. Between 2000 and 2013, an estimated 10,616 pharmacy students in California received Rx for Change training.

Conclusion:
After more than a decade, a shared tobacco cessation curriculum continues to be widely utilized and provides a strong foundation for legislative efforts to enhance pharmacists' scope of practice related to prescriptive authority for tobacco cessation.
IMPROVING AIR PASSENGERS’ EXPERIENCE DURING FLIGHT DISRUPTION: THE CASE OF ENFORCING THE DENIED BOARDING REGULATIONS (DBRs) AT CHIOS AIRPORT “OMIROS”
Authors: Salamoura Maria , Voxaki Viktoria
Published: December 2020

Over the past few decades, air travel is no longer considered a luxury, but a commodity, as passengers are faced with the choice of traveling to various destinations at a lower cost and higher safety than ever before. Nevertheless, passengers’ overall experience does not meet their expectations about excellent customer service, as flying results in various problems. This article focuses on the importance of understanding and improving aviation consumers’ experiences of disruption at Chios Airport by investigating the implementation of the regulation known as the Denied Boarding Regulations (DBRs). The results show that passengers are unaware of their legal rights and dissatisfied with the outcome of their complaints concerning the main sources of disruption: flight delay/cancellation denied boarding, and baggage delay, loss, or damage. Furthermore, “refund of flight cost”, “rescheduling/rebooking (free)”, “financial compensation”, “information on legal rights” and “flight status information” are critical factors for delayed or cancelled flights.

According to results, consumer perceptions of value dimensions and CSR expectations have a significant positive effect on customer attitudes when purchasing services in the airline industry. Results also indicate that customer attitudes have a significant positive relationship with consumers’ purchase intentions in the airline industry. The paper discusses implications for managers and adds to the understanding of CSR initiatives and how they can increase companies’ value proposition.
Computer Vision Based Industrial Robotic Arm for Sorting Objects by Color and Height
Authors: Shaikat Abu Salman , Akter Suraiya , Salma Umme
Published: December 2020

In industrial production systems, manufacturers often face difficulties in sorting different types of objects. Color and height-based sorting which is done manually by human is quite a tedious task and its needs countless time as well. For manual sorting, many workers are required, which can be quite expensive. Moreover, robots that can sort only color or height can’t be effective when there is a need of products with same color with different heights and vice versa. In this paper, a computer vision based robotic sorter is proposed, which is capable of detecting and sorting objects by their colors and heights at the same time. This work isn’t done before as height sorting of same shapes is a new technique, which is done with color sorting techniques by computer vision. It is equipped with a robotic arm having 6 degree of freedom (DOF), by which it picks up and then place objects according to its color and height, to a predetermined place as per the production system requirement. A camera with the computer vision software detects various colors and heights. Haar Cascade algorithm has been used to sort the products. This multi-DOF robotic sorter can be a remarkably useful tool for automating the production process completely, where multiple conveyor belts are used, which can reduce time complexity as well. In the proposed system, the efficiency of color and height sorting is around 99%, which proves the efficiency of our system. The overall improvement in the efficiency of the production process can be significantly enhanced by using this system.
Integrated Creation Process Stimulating Managers’ Strategic Thinking and Operationalization of Industrial Enterprise Strategy
Authors: Vasenyov Kirill
Published: December 2020

Rigidity and inertia of formalized analytical approaches toward a strategy development process do not facilitate strategic improvisation of enterprise management that is crucial in modern dynamic state of turbulent markets. Further improvement in the development of enterprise strategy is associated with creativity, strategic thinking, and intuition of managers. The article provides: (1) a two-level systemic mental model of future development determined by strategist's understanding; (2) a model of the strategic thinking of a strategist; (3) a model of the integrated process of creation and operationalization of the strategy that stimulates the thinking of managers. The models are aimed at increasing the strategic adaptable capacity of an enterprise to the dynamically developing future by shifting the focus from formal analysis on activating and engaging the strategic thinking of managers.

GEORGY NIKOLAEVICH TSAGOLOV: MAN, CITIZEN, SCIENTIST (ON THE OCCASION OF THE 80TH BIRTHDAY)
Authors:   Free Economic Society of Russia, SERGEY D. BODRUNOV
Published: December 2020

The article is dedicated to the memory of the outstanding scientist Georgy Nikolaevich Tsagolov. The author values the important contributions of Georgy Nikolaevich to economic science, demonstratе relevance and huge potential of his ideas about the integration of the plan and the market, private and public appropriation, monetary and non-monetary motivation. At the same time, the author argues with the scientist’s ideas, justifying that the socio-economic transformations, which are reinforced with the expansion of scientific and technological progress, are not a direct integration of capitalism and socialism, as Georgy Nikolaevich presumed. This is another form of transition to a new state of society, where economic relations will gradually disappear and the mechanism for meeting people’s needs created by the economy will gradually be replaced by another mechanism — Noonomics.
THE NEW INDUSTRIAL STATE AND CONVERGENCE: ANTECEDENTS IN MARX
Authors:   University of Manitoba, RADHIKA DESAI
Published: December 2020

The idea of convergence took a blow with the demise of the USSR and another with widely diverging economic performance of the US and communist China amid the pandemic. In this short contribution, I explore how James Galbraith and George Tsagolov handle this problem with very different arguments. I then show that, if we were to trace the longer lineage of the ideas of convergence and the new industrial state to Marx and Engels, we can vindicate them more fully and thoroughly than either attempt.

Despite negative conditions, large high-tech companies and smart small and medium enterprises avoid failures in their technological and innovative activities in order to sustain competitive positions. However, the study generally does not support the neoschumpeterian theoretical proposition that crises may stimulate technological disruptions. We identified only two exceptions. Firstly, disruption may occur as a result of exogenous shocks that changes basic market conditions (supported by the cases of Oil Shocks and green energy systems, and COVID-19 pandemic and internet technologies). Secondly, since 2000s national anti-crisis policies may play a larger role in development of emerging technologies (as a factor of overcoming economic downturns). Article identifies development of high-tech sector and national innovation system institutions as key factors for stabilization of innovative and technological activities and for rising probability of disruption in crises.

Published: December 2020

The article examines the interim results of international expert discussions on regulatory solutions needed to manage the transit risks of the global economy, which is significantly accelerating during the recovery from the global crisis triggered by COVID-19. According to the author, the current adjustments of the world economy and the emerging global agenda focused on the reform of the international trade and financial and debt architecture and the search for a new balance of regulatory incentives for the growth of the world’s leading economies are of fundamental and relevant importance for Russia. In this regard, the regulatory forks associated with overcoming the deficit of structural measures, updating the business environment and launching a new investment cycle have been identified, which the Russian economic and monetary authorities will have to go through.

Authors:   Pushkin Leningrad State University, YULIA I. BUSHENEVA
Published: December 2020

The article describes the presence of a key contradiction of modern Russian forecasting and planning — the failure to achieve a state where the assumptions of forecasts and plans are implemented in real economic practice, there are trends of significant discrepancy between the fact and the plan in relation to the implementation of forecasts and plans, which is illustrated by the example of several documents. The reasons for this situation are a number of methodological problems, the logic of which is presented in the article as part of the characteristics of these problems in separate categories of forecasting and planning methodology. The results of the research are presented in the form of a map of problem areas in the application of forecasting and planning methodology in public administration, which allows us to form comprehensive guidelines for solving the identified contradictions in the practice of state regulation of the Russian economy.

Published: December 2020

The strategic line of development of the digital society in Russian Federation is aimed, first of all, at the development of human potential, that is, the «knowledge economy», and only then at the formation of a digital economy that provides technological leadership in the global digital space. Forms universal digital literacy and professional and communicative competencies necessary for the «knowledge economy», and also creates a supporting infrastructure for the digital economy in the sphere of professional education. In the era of digitalization, project financing has become one of the leading trends in financial support for education. In the course of the research, two types of financing models in the global educational space were identified: basic models and derived (partial) models. Taking into account the fact that in Russia the main investor in the field of higher education is the state, in order to attract extra-budgetary sources, the potential of the financial mechanism of public-private partnership should be used. That is, the mixed model of subsidizing pro jects of state programs can be expanded by introducing into it a block of project financing within the framework of the PPP mechanism that stimulates the inflow of private capital. In turn, the development of new information technologies and products is changing the models of pro ject financing in higher education. The participatory model of project financing of universities proposed in the study using the PPP mechanism ensures the embedding of civil society institutions both in the budgetary process that determines the level of spending on higher education and in the process of public-private investment in universities.
ECONOMIC DOCTRINE OF RUSSIA: NODAL COMPONENTS AND NATIONAL PROJECTS
Authors:   Central Economics and Mathematics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, GEORGE B. KLEINER
Published: December 2020

The article analyzes the requirements for strategic documents of a doctrinal nature that determine the main directions of the socio-economic development of Russia. The practicability of including an additional section in the macro-level doctrinal documents by analogy with the principles of forming socio-economic systems strategy at the micro-level is shown. Such a section in a concise form should reflect the planned system’s general vision, including its history, status, and conception of the future. The expediency of expanding the composition of national projects with the projects “Management” and “Enterprise” is justified. The first is intended to bring the system of regulation of the Russian economy in line with the imperatives of the domestic and world economy’s current state. The second is to determine government support’s key directions for developing an enterprise as the primary form of economic entities’ life activity.

The article discusses the importance of improving the goal-setting process for solving strategic problems of national development, first of all, for the transition to a new model of economic growth based on structural transformations, innovations and new technologies, determines the place of the long-term state strategy of the social and economic development as a base component in this process. The restrictive nature of the targets for sustainable national development identified in the framework of national projects is substantiated. Particular attention is focused on the need for their integration national projects into the strategic planning system and ensure their interconnection with existing strategies and government programs.
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the Massage Therapy Profession
Authors: Balogun, MS4 Oluwakemi , Kennedy, LMT, BCTMB, DrPH Ann Blair
Published: December 2020

It has been documented that there are disparities in who seeks massage therapy in the United States. Yet, there are few conversations about race and ethnicity of the massage therapists who provide these services. We must examine the diversity, equity, and inclusion within the massage therapy profession and consider how the profession can improve the landscape for clients/patients and for those who feel called to work within this field. Although the diversity of the profession and those who seek treatment are rarely discussed, this paper explores these issues and offers possible solutions to expand the diversity of the profession and patient population.
Patients’ Experiences of Ending Massage Therapy Care: A Commentary
Authors: Baskwill, PhD, MSc, BEd, RMT Amanda , Michaud, BA, RMT2 Suzanne
Published: December 2020

Patients are best positioned to provide information about their experiences of healthcare services; however, their perspectives are often underutilized.  During informal discussions with massage therapists (MTs), and through the authors’ own professional experiences, it was noted that there are times when patients decide independently, and without notice, to end the care they are receiving.  To date, no research has been published exploring the experiences of patients who choose to discontinue massage therapy care and there is a gap in the quality assurance process of MTs.  Lack of understanding of patients’ experiences is a missed opportunity to strengthen the therapeutic relationship, ensure patient safety, improve treatment quality, and develop professionally. To affect change within multiple levels of the profession so that patients’ experiences are valued and solicited in a manner that allows patients to provide critical feedback, we recommend two initial actions.  First, we challenge massage therapy stakeholders to consider alternate research methodologies and methods to explore this phenomenon.  Second, we recommend that MTs cultivate an appreciation for constructive criticism and actively listen to their patients with confidence.

We report the first wideband monitoring observations of PSR J1803−3002A, a relatively bright millisecond pulsar (MSP) in the globular cluster NGC 6522 with a spin period of 7.1 ms and no known binary companion. These observations were performed using the Parkes 64 m radio telescope with the Ultra-Wideband Low receiver system, which covers 704–4032 MHz. We confirm that PSR J1803−3002A is an isolated MSP located near the cluster center and probe the emission properties of the pulsar over the wide observed band. The mean pulse profile consists of three components, with the outer components becoming more prominent at higher frequencies, and a mean spectral index for the pulsed emission of −1.66 ± 0.07 over the observed band. The fractional linear and circular polarization increase with increasing frequency, which is unusual for pulsars. We determine a Faraday rotation measure of −107 ± 6 rad m−2 for the pulsar. PSR J1803−3002A is a distant pulsar in the Galactic plane, but our observations show no evidence of pulse broadening due to interstellar scattering. These results demonstrate the power of ultra-wideband receivers and signal processing systems.

We report the discovery of ZTF J2243+5242, an eclipsing double white dwarf binary with an orbital period of just 8.8 minutes, the second known eclipsing binary with an orbital period of less than 10 minutes. The system likely consists of two low-mass white dwarfs and will merge in approximately 400,000 yr to form either an isolated hot subdwarf or an R Coronae Borealis star. Like its 6.91 minute counterpart, ZTF J1539+5027, ZTF J2243+5242 will be among the strongest gravitational-wave sources detectable by the space-based gravitational-wave detector the Laser Space Interferometer Antenna (LISA) because its gravitational-wave frequency falls near the peak of LISA's sensitivity. Based on its estimated distance of

, LISA should detect the source within its first few months of operation and achieve a signal-to-noise ratio of 63 ± 7 after 4 yr. We find component masses of

) gravitational-wave sources that the Vera Rubin Observatory and LISA should identify.
