Authors: Ara Anderson , Kath Geisyane Karina Gonzaga , Anjos Cristian Pessatti dos , Russo Cibele Maria , Bonat Wagner Hugo
Published: August 2023

Devido ao aumento de volume de dados, a urgência na busca de cientistas de dados devidamente qualificados têm crescido. Desta forma, as Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) brasileiras têm buscado suprir tal demanda. Neste enredo, o objetivo deste artigo é realizar uma caracterização dos cursos de graduação em Ciência de Dados. Assim, buscou-se responder questionamentos como: os cursos têm sido ofertados em grande maioria pelas universidades públicas ou privadas? Quando começaram a ser ofertados? Costumam ser EAD (ensino à distância) ou presenciais? São do tipo tecnológico ou bacharelado? Quais grupos de disciplinas mais compõem a grade? Em quais regiões do país se concentram? Como é a oferta de vagas e qual é o perfil de ingressos em cursos do tipo bacharelado e tecnológico? Para isso, utilizou-se a junção das bases do e-MEC e do Censo da Educação Superior de 2021 e optou-se por fazer a exploração e visualização de dados considerando a técnica ACM. Entre os resultados, observa-se que há um certo equilíbrio entre as modalidades presencial e EAD, além de que em grande parte os cursos são do tipo tecnológico e costumam ser ofertados por IES privadas. Acerca das regiões, nota-se uma grande concentração de cursos presenciais na região Sudeste do Brasil.
DEM modelling of root circumnutation-inspired penetration in shallow granular materials
Authors: Chen Yuyan , Martinez Alejandro
Published: August 2023

Plant root growth is often accompanied by circumnutative motion consisting of downward helical movement of the root tip. Previous studies indicate that circumnutations allow roots to avoid obstacles that would impede root growth, while other studies show that circumnutations can reduce the penetration resistance mobilised during root growth. Discrete-element modelling (DEM) simulations were performed on probes that employ circumnutation-inspired motion (CIM) to penetrate granular assemblies at shallow depths to evaluate the reduction in penetration resistance. These simulations investigate the effect of the ratio of tangential to vertical velocity of the circumnutative motion (i.e. relative velocity) and of the probe geometry (i.e. tip tilt angle and length). The results indicate that CIM penetration reduces the penetration force and work relative to non-rotational penetration (NRP) by changing the soil fabric and diffusing the force chains around the probe tip. However, the circumnutative motion leads to an increase in torque and associated rotational work. An optimal relative velocity and probe geometry exist for the simulated CIM probes, resulting in a smaller total work than that required for NRP. CIM penetration also mobilises smaller penetration forces and work than rotational penetration (i.e. with a straight tip), particularly at smaller relative velocities. The reduction in penetration forces induced by CIM could facilitate site investigation and monitoring activities.
Effective Methodology and Its Place in Intellectual Culture
Authors:   Dostoevsky Omsk State University, Russian Federation, Razumov Vladimir
Published: August 2023

Profound changes have taken place in the society of the XXI century. In culture and civilization, the determining role (dominance) passes from science and education to technology and technic. Against the background of the decline in the authority of science and education in society, the situation with the status of philosophy, as well as methodology, has worsened. This provision is due to the fact that the subject of philosophy is knowledge, and for methodology it is scientific knowledge. It is proposed to consider knowledge according to K. Popper’s concept of three worlds. With the giving of a substantial status to knowledge, its origin should no longer be represented as the result of a reflection of reality. Let us define knowledge as an addition to the physical and mental beginnings of a three-component being. In order to show the productivity of the proposed change, a system-cybernetic model of contradiction is given. In the interests of developing an effective methodology, we turn to the concepts of mono- and multi-aspect approaches to any creative work. The situations of ‘not meaningful incompleteness’ are shown, when the researcher does not even think about the varieties of aspects that open up to the specialist when he starts working with the name of the study, and ‘meaningful incompleteness’, when knowing that it is impossible to consider all the variants of the topic, he justifies why he preferred this trajectory. The technologies of the formation of the names of creative works are presented, taking into account the installation on a single-aspect or multi-aspect study. In the course of solving the task of improving the effectiveness of the methodology, the issues of ontological and epistemic characteristics of the subject are touched upon, which is supplemented by direct indications of the division of knowledge into those that form a controlled subsystem – concepts, and those that form a controlling subsystem – categories. Methods for working with categories are formed – categorical system methodology (CSM), theory of dynamic information systems (TDIS, DIS), DIS-technology. CSM and TDIS are not only bases for the development of effective methodological projects, but they are focused on solving the problems of knowledge synthesis, which, in turn, should focus not only on interdisciplinarity, but also on the multi-aspect of the studied. The proposals outlined here are implemented in practice and in the educational process.
The Everyday Life of the Neoliberal Subject: The Interplay of Macro and Micro Ideological Structures
Authors:   Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin, Ekaterinburg, Russian Federation, Gordok Pavel
Published: August 2023

Neoliberalism can be understood both as a practice of governance organized around economic norms of competition, flexibility and risk calculation, and as a technique of shaping and transforming modes of subjectivation. These two interpretations are closely intertwined: the institutions that capture neoliberal discourses become the starting point for the formation of a particular subjectivity known as human capital. At the same time, labour is understood very broadly: even pre-reflexive behavioural practices (e.g., sleep) are included in the idea of human capital. The purpose of this article is to analyse and criticise the neoliberal subject’s image of the life-world. The life-world is understood as an area of everyday human activity within which the pre-predicative resources of “common sense” are at work. The author takes an integrative approach, combining ideological theory and the study of everyday life. M. Foucault’s series of lectures, ‘The Birth of Biopolitics’, is used as the main source of content for the theory of neoliberalism. The critique of the neoliberal subject’s life-world is carried out through the ontological argumentation of the Ljubljana School of Psychoanalysis. The imperative of neoliberal ethics calling for unlimited pleasure is clearly evident in the mode of existence of consumer products. A certain commodity exists as a negation of its own idea: non-alcoholic wine, for example, is a negation of the idea of wine itself. In this sense, pleasure is stripped of any barriers, but just as importantly, the process of its reception becomes a meaning-in-itself that is institutionally supported. Pleasure is linked to the structurally constitutive absence of the object of desire. Thus, a critical analysis of ideology actualises the category of alienation. The overcoming of neoliberal subjectivity is only possible through the acceptance of a fundamental rupture (alienation) as the ontological basis of identity, a position that has been called an object-disoriented ontology.
Luoshu Magic Square: Register of Truth
Authors:   Institute of China and Contemporary Asia of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Krushinskiy Andrey
Published: August 2023

The world’s oldest 3x3 magic square, discovered/invented in Ancient China and now known as Luoshu 洛書/ ‘Document [from the River] Luo’, was endowed by Chinese tradition with unprecedented dignity and placed at the very heart of Chinese thought. The bewitching geometric-numerical imagery of Luoshu, open to a great many different visions, when reading-interpretation becomes the final moment of the very act of perception, turns this Chinese mandala into a real eye trap. With its disturbing persistence, it resembles the magically attractive ‘Zahir’ from Borges’ short story of the same name. Among the most diverse ritual and ideological instrumentalizations of the Luoshu magic square (from the sacred emblem of cosmic harmony to the requisite of a geomancer), the mobilization of this esoteric figure for the arithmetization of the cornerstone of all Chinese philosophy, the fundamentally non-verbalizable Tao, is dominant. The coding of the dao by the number 15 is reinforced by its spatialization, so that the entire “Document [from the river] Lo” appears as a map of the various trajectories of the Tao within this nine-field square. Moreover, the coincidence (in number 15) of differently composed sums appears as an inscrutable variety of paths leading to the same goal - the final implementation of Tao. By virtue of the validity of the equality 15 =mod10 5 the magic sum of the Luoshu square (Const15) immutably, although covertly (in the form of a number 5), centers the entire Luoshu configuration. This secrecy of the magical constant (the latter is absent in the entire observable space of the “Document [from the river] Lo”) refers to the hidden “back-side” of Luoshu numbers, represented by the number 10 (in its role as a modulus of comparison in the arithmetic of residues modulo 10). Judging by the directly visible, so to speak, ‘front’ part of the magic square of order 3, it is allowed to count only up to nine in it. But the already absent-present magic sum (number 15), breaking the seemingly inescapable circle of arithmetic of residues, brings to light the comparison module (number 10) as Luosh’s hidden ‘truth’, which alone gives meaning to the entire nine-cell construction. Awareness of this truth is the first step in the transition to the ‘register of truth’ of this extraordinary gestalt. The subsequent connection to it of problems focused by the Pythagorean theorem radically expands Luoshu’s ‘register of truth’. The geometrized arithmetic of the Luoshu magic square, which is a unique spatial-numerical fixation of the seemingly fundamentally non-objectivable Tao (i.e., combining the apparently incompatible) marks the possibility of a paradoxical union of Heraclitus with Pythagoras, successfully realized by the Chinese tradition.
Francis Bacon Against Alchemy: Sociopolitical and Philosophical Aspects
Authors:   Surgut State University, Russian Federation, Markhinin Vasily
Published: August 2023

The paper brings the analysis of the evolution of Bacons’ views on alchemy. The polemics against alchemy has become a central subject of his early writings (1584-1595) on the scientific knowledge. Bacon criticized occult traditions, an integral part of intellectual culture of early modern English establishment. Bacon argued that till his time all serious intellectual efforts of mankind had been directed to futile goals like alchemical transmutations, etc. or endless disputations of natural philosophers; at the same time all the greatest inventions (e.g., nautical needle, gunpowder and printing) had been made only by chance. Bacon believed government should have support of scientific & technological research and suppress alchemical fraud. Doing that a government would gain a most effective tool for increasing its power and wealth. To support his views Bacon launched an intense propaganda campaign that culminated in the series of masques performed at Elizabethan court in 1592-1595. Baconian efforts caused counter actions of the court members who believed in the efficiency of alchemical enterprises. During late 1590’s Bacon revised his attitude towards alchemy as well as towards the government, which was able in his opinion to support the development of sciences. The basis of his views is the ethical-theological concept of the values of scientific knowledge, which excludes previous ideas about the role of government in the development of sciences. Another area of research that changed his assessment of alchemy is the work on the problems of the scientific method. In the light of new political-philosophical, axiological and epistemological concepts, criticism of alchemy loses its former degree of relevance for Bacon. The developments made by Bacon in the 1580s-1590s during the polemic against alchemy become a kind of foundation on which he relies in the further development of his philosophical ideas.

Published: August 2023

The development of new digital technologies and their active application has an impact on the relationship of credit institutions with customers in the field of availability of products and methods of services provided. Currently, the activity of banks in creating and releasing products for customers is reaching a new level thanks to the development of technologies and innovations in this area. The research and analysis of the current directions of development in the field of development and formation of modern banking products is carried out. The object of the study is the variety of products of commercial banks, the subject of the study is the global trends of their development. Purpose of the work: analysis of trends in the development of modern and innovative banking products in Russia and abroad. Based on the purpose of the work, the main types of banking innovation processes in the world were identified, such as a banking product in new market segments, innovations such as the development of activities in new areas of the financial market, modified financial intermediation services aimed at effective asset and liability management, new methods of cash management and the use of new information technologies, new products in traditional segments of loan capital. The line of common banking products considered in the article, as well as the study of products of a new digital and remote format, allowed us to conclude that it is necessary to develop and disseminate the existing classification of banking products. Due to the increasing number of bank product developments, their classification becomes an integral stage in their formation and subsequent release. A number of classification features and distinctions were investigated, which helped to systematize the existing groups of banking products and identify areas for their development. The perspective of the banking sector is the transformation of the bank’s products. There is automation in many banking processes and, as a result, there are modernized products and services of the bank, which have not been considered in the theoretical aspect earlier in scientific and practical works and publications.
Problems of Innovative Activity Development of the Novosibirsk Region
Authors:   Novosibirsk State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering NGASU (Sibstrin), Russian Federation, Vorotnikov Dmitry , Kogan Anton ,   Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Management, Russian Federation
Published: August 2023

The relevance of the study of problems in the field of innovation activity in the Novosibirsk region is due to the low susceptibility of the region to the introduction of new technologies, the complexity of choosing a strategy for the development of innovative companies, the lack of an effective method of finding business models for innovative products and the complex relationship of industrial partners with innovators. All these problems are a consequence of the cultural characteristics of the Russian Federation, and without proper study of them we cannot present a complete picture of the development of the innovative sphere of the region. The article discusses the concepts of “innovative susceptibility of the region” and “startups”. It is proposed to supplement the generally accepted characteristics of a startup by adding an institutional affiliation to them, dividing startups into three categories: park, academic and non-academic. Each of these categories has its own characteristics that must be taken into account when creating a development strategy and entering the market. It should be noted that the institutional affiliation of a startup, taking into account the cultural characteristics of the Russian Federation, has been studied superficially by modern economists. The problem of distortion of statistical data when calculating the innovation activity of the regions of the Russian Federation on the example of the Omsk, Tomsk and Novosibirsk regions is indicated.
Ethical Risks in the Practice of Artificial Intelligence
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russian Federation, Kazaryan Valentina , Shutova Ksenia ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russian Federation
Published: August 2023

The article raises the question of the relationship between the practice of artificial intelligence and universal ethics. The topic is fundamentally important, since a person and society that have lost their ethical foundations are deprived of their humanity. The ethics of scientists, designers, high-level managers play a decisive role in modern processes of development and application of artificial intelligence. In their activities, an ethic of responsibility develops, originating from the Russell-Einstein Manifesto, published in 1955 in the conditions of a nuclear standoff during the Cold War. The article shows the modern indescribably rapid growth and development of artificial intelligence applications in the practical life of people. Attention is drawn to the fact of the presence of uncertainty in situations of practical application of artificial intelligence, the presence of unforeseen consequences in addition to the expected consequences, who is responsible for those consequences (individuals, corporations, governments). The responsibility lies with the one who decides on the action: the actor. The actor is in a situation of ethical risk. It is shown that the risk increases due to a number of circumstances: 1) a variety of applications; 2) uncontrolled rampant growth; 3) difficulties in tracking the empirical situation of application; 4) difficulties in theoretical analysis of the situation of action. The article focuses on the risks of the practice of peaceful use of remotely piloted aircraft, as well as their military use and automated weapons without operator confirmation. The sharp, apparently exponential growth of information technology, the practical implementation of artificial intelligence, puts people in a difficult situation, an ethical situation: what to choose ‘to have or to be’. Or is there a third choice?
Some Problems with Artificial Intelligence Ethics
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg University of State Fire Service of EMERCOM of Russia, Shlyapnikov Viktor
Published: August 2023

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have brought digital ethics to the public’s attention and are the driving force behind many discussions on ethical issues related to digital technologies. This article analyzes the arguments of supporters and opponents of artificial intelligence, various approaches to the development of AI systems, ethical issues associated with the use of AI technologies, including the problem of managing artificial intelligence and the idea of active responsibility for the development of AI technologies, general principles for the development of AI systems formulated in the founding documents. The methodological basis of this work was the dialectical method; in the process of research the author used the comparative method and the method of document analysis. The sources were the studies by domestic and foreign authors on various ethical issues of artificial intelligence, the European “Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI” and the Russian “AI Ethics Code”. The author demonstrates the importance of the moralization of artificial intelligence technologies, that is, the conscious development of technologies for the formation of moral actions and decision-making. One of the clear problems is finding a democratic way to moralize technology, since technology differs from laws in that it can restrict human freedom without being the result of a democratic process. It is argued that it is necessary to create an independent international scientific organization to develop a clear scientific view of artificial intelligence, as well as an independent international body for the regulation of artificial intelligence, which would unite approaches to understanding this phenomenon from different points of view (states, private companies and academia).
Conditions of Loyalty of the Military-Service, Commercial and Industrial Administration to Central Power
Authors:   Novosibirsk State University, Russian Federation, Filippov Sergey
Published: August 2023

The article deals with investigation into the conditions of loyalty of commercial as well as industrial and military-service administration to the central power. The analysis is based on comparing cases which demonstrate different levels of loyalty. A relatively high level of loyalty was shown by the “power” of the Stroganovs (merchants), including both the merchants and the population of their fiefdoms in the 16th–17th centuries, whereas the Volga, Don and Yaik Cossacks (16th–18th centuries) demonstrated a relatively low level of loyalty. It was revealed that the level of loyalty of military and commercial administration in Russia in the 16th–18th centuries was affected by processes of different social scale. The defeat of Novgorod by Moscow and the termination of the eхpeditions of Novgorod pirates named Ushkuyniks both in the North-East (Northern Urals) and in the South-East led to taking this niche in the Volga basin by the Cossacks that continued extracting revenues through the use of violence. The Cossacks’ growing dependence on the Tsar’s pay, combined with their skills and means of violence, caused revolts and rebellions in the 17th and 18th centuries that can be considered as a form of bargaining with the authorities for symbolic recognition and material supplementation. In the northern Ural, geopolitical changes resulted in introducing a new strategy in exploring the region – industrial (salt production) and agricultural colonization with tax exemptions and socio-economic patronage for the Stroganovs’ kholops (serfs) under conditions of underdeveloped state institutions, which resulted in relatively low levels of ethno-social conflicts in the region without the need to maintain a strong enforcement apparatus, which could become a resource for disloyalty to central power. Favorable conditions for the salt trade in the domestic Russian market (high price, limited competition) further strengthened the loyalty of salt producers.
The Public and/or Private Nature of Commercial Space in History: From Antiquity to the Present
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, Russian Federation, Chaplya Tatyana
Published: August 2023

The author of the article draws attention to the formation and development of consumption culture and its embodiment in architectural forms. The development of the consumer space and the retail space as its form developed in parallel throughout the history. The purpose of the article is to analyze the dynamics of organizational methods of the trading space from antiquity to the present day. The study is based on the wave theory presented in the works of E. Toffler, Yu. M. Lotman, where history is represented as a pendulum motion. However, each of the oscillations of the pendulum appears at a new point. The author examines the evolution of the retail space, starting from antiquity and one of its forms: the retail space or market. This type of space combined many functions: trade, political and religious. It was a type of public space accessible to everyone. The sellers and buyers in market conditions could also constantly change their roles. The spread of shops and stalls in the Middle Ages and at the beginning of modern times represented the movement of trade into private space, organized according to the principle of the public. It combined a place of residence and a place of work. The movement of trade inward meant a change: in the past, goods came to the consumer, but now the buyer went to get the goods. To a large extent, trade in small shops was monofunctional. The second half of the 19th century gave rise to two forms of retail space: a street (passage) and a building. In terms of architecture, they replaced palaces and temples, had a very simple structure, used a large amount of glass, iron, and light. They were the first to use gas heating and elevators. These spaces were private but functioned according to the principle of a public space: open to everyone. The twentieth century introduced malls and supermarkets that combined many different functions: trade, entertainment, food service, credit institution, pharmacy, etc. As a result, we can conclude that the development of retail space throughout history proceeded according to the principle of a pendulum: from the free public space of the market, with its multifunctionality through the closed private space of shops and small shops with their monofunctional purpose, to the private-public or quasi-public space of modern malls and supermarkets, but on a different level.
Musical Minimalism and Russian Musicology: History of Research, Genesis and Evolution
Authors:   M.I. Glinka Novosibirsk State Conservatory, Russian Federation, Zvyagina Anastasia
Published: August 2023

The article presents an analysis of the main versions of the emergence and evolution of minimalism, proposed by both domestic and foreign art history. In the domestic literature of the 80-90s, there was an opinion that the origin of musical minimalism was a reaction to the European avant-garde that preceded it. However, today this statement looks somewhat speculative and not entirely reliable, due to objective historical reasons. The lack of information about Western art in all its diversity that existed at that time made it necessary to fill in the informational gaps with theoretical constructions and assumptions, one of which turned into a sincere conviction of many researchers that each new avant-garde phenomenon arose as a reaction to the previous one. Given the lack of facts, such a view could be considered quite justified, but it did not make it possible to recognize the true nature of minimalism. The modern level of information accessibility makes it possible to overcome the prevailing stereotype regarding the genesis and evolution of minimalism. The role of the international creative association “Fluxus” was very important in its development, in the ranks of which both representatives of the European avant-garde and American experimenters freely exchanged ideas. Very different and sometimes underestimated sources merged in musical minimalism, among which are the heritage of the musical and non-musical avant-garde, abstractionist and visual minimal art, experimental audio technicism and actionism, and an appeal to non-European music. This fusion of ideas and artistic techniques eventually formed a new synthetic phenomenon; a special minimalist style of a number of American composers - T. Riley, S. Reich, F. Glass, J. Adams, as well as European composers, among which M. Nyman became the most prominent figure. It was Nyman who proposed to extend the term ‘minimalism’ to the art of music, starting with the creative searches of J. Cage and his followers. In recent decades, among domestic musicologists, in relation to minimalism, the prefix ‘post’ has been increasingly added, heralding the transition to the era of postminimalism. However, in the avant-garde currents, such a transition was never synchronous and occurred gradually, when the subject of artistic reflection consistently rejected and replaced the former modernist conceptualism, actualizing direct perception and emotional reactivity. However, in musical minimalism, including its Russian branch, the mentioned process has not yet reached its final stage.
Cinema as a “Soft Power” Instrument of the State: Examples of Spanish and U.S. Cinematography
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation, Kulikova Darya
Published: August 2023

The article considers cinema as an instrument of soft power of states, using the example of cinema in Spain and the USA. Different approaches are shown. On the one hand, the United States, which uses universal concepts, on the other hand, Spain, which uses stereotypical ideas and recognizable images about its country. In American films, most often, universal topics are used that are understandable to all people: the struggle between good and evil (moreover, evil is universal, threatening the whole world, and good is the United States), love, happiness, compassion. Even if purely national issues are raised in American films (for example, African-American racism), these problems are presented as universal, as a problem of human dignity, honor, etc. In Spanish cinema, well-established stereotypes about Spain and its culture are actively used: bullfighting, flamenco, Andalusian folklore, traditional cuisine and clothing (for example, the matador costume), as well as typical, recognizable images of the Spanish man and woman (Spanish macho - Antonio Banderas and swarthy, passionate, beautiful Carmen - Penelope Cruz). All this forms the concept of ‘españolada’. The United States does not officially support its film production, but coordinates and consults with the film productions and directors through unofficial resources, primarily the Motion Picture Association of America, whose leadership includes many former White House officials. Spain, on the contrary, actively supports its filmmakers, helps to promote Spanish films in the international arena, develops joint film production, stimulates the shooting of films at the state level, including foreign ones, using Spanish locations, etc. Thus, one can see two different approaches to cinema as an instrument of soft power, and although American cinema certainly dominates the world market, the obvious success of Spanish cinema, which is becoming increasingly popular, should be noted.
Modal design of a polynomial control system for the inverted pendulum with two degrees of freedom
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation, Shipagin Victor I. , Filiushov Vladislav Yu. ,   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation
Published: August 2023

An example of calculating an automatic control system for a multi-channel linearized model of a control object is given ‒ a 2-degree of freedom pendulum on a cart with the ability to move, for a mobile board and a support rack, in two planes. This model is described by a non-square matrix transfer function with a large number of output parameters compared to the number of input parameters. A description of a linear model of an object is obtained through the state space and through a matrix transfer function. According to the obtained descriptions, it can be seen that for a linearized version of the description of the object, for different coordinate axes, the description of the system is symmetrical. In this regard, there is an approach to synthesizing the control system for each coordinate of the mobile platform separately. However, with the further transition to a nonlinear description of the system, the symmetry of the description will be violated and it will be problematic to apply the obtained regulators for a nonlinear object in some cases. In this article, the work of the algorithm for the synthesis of the control system of the mobile platform for stabilizing the support rack to a vertical position and bringing the mobile platform to a given position at both coordinates at the same time is illustrated. The calculation was carried out using the algorithm of synthesis of the controller by a modular method using a polynomial matrix decomposition of the matrix transfer functions of the object and the controller. The simulation of the operation of the resulting automatic control system shows that the controller copes with the task of stabilizing the angle of the support post in the vertical position and bringing the mobile platform to the desired position.

Remote monitoring of the condition of the grounding device
Authors:   Omsk State University of Communications, Russian Federation, Mitrokhin Valeriy E. , Naumov Aleksandr S. ,   Omsk State University of Communications, Russian Federation
Published: August 2023

In connection with the rapid development of technologies, increasing the volume of data exchange and increasing requirements for information security, there is a need to pay special attention to the causes of possible data loss. One of the most common reasons is the quality of power supply of telecommunications networks. Since the density of elements on the microcircuit crystals has increased many times over, the breakdown voltage of these elements has significantly decreased. Therefore, with a slight overvoltage or electromagnetic influence, electronic components may fail, or errors may occur in the transmission of information, and even data destruction in memory devices may occur. The quality of power supply is significantly affected by the state of the grounding device, the main parameter of which is the resistance to the flow of electric current. In order to timely detect a malfunction of the grounding device, it is necessary to provide remote monitoring of its condition. The article presents the main provisions of the method of remote monitoring of the condition of the grounding device.

Marx y Sarmiento en simultáneo. Tensiones reclasificatorias emergentes en Las luchas de clases en Francia, El 18 Brumario de Luis Bonaparte y Facundo o Civilización y barbarie
Authors: Bialakowsky Alejandro , Álvarez Ruiz Fermín , Blanco Ana Belén
Published: August 2023

Las profundamente disímiles obras de Marx y Sarmiento postulan dos divisiones fundamentales que subsumirían y explicarían sus otras categorizaciones: «burguesía-proletariado» (Marx) y «civilización-barbarie» (Sarmiento). A partir de un abordaje simultáneo, este artículo analiza cómo estas divisiones han sido reclasificadas de manera teórico-analítica por estas mismas perspectivas en el marco de ciertos estudios histórico-políticos: Las luchas de clases en Francia (1848-1850) y El 18 Brumario de Luis Bonaparte (Marx), y Facundo o Civilización y barbarie (Sarmiento). Así, se despliegan tensiones reclasificatorias claves. Respecto de Marx, el esquema «burguesía-proletariado» se tensiona a partir de las «fracciones de clase» y las «protoclases», las cuales allanarían y sostendrían el liderazgo sobre las masas de Luis Bonaparte. En Sarmiento, sus análisis histórico-políticos dan cuenta del entrelazamiento entre supuestos elementos de la «civilización» y la «barbarie», el cual encuentra su máxima expresión en la figura de Juan Manuel de Rosas y en las ambigüedades del autor acerca de «lo español». A partir de tales tensiones, se delinea una hipótesis emergente para futuras investigaciones: los ejercicios de reclasificación teórica-analítica de Marx y Sarmiento han sido fundamentales para su reelaboración crítica en la sociología argentina, en especial, entre 1960 y 1980.

La noción de trabajo de representación hace foco en cómo representan y qué representan. Se evidencia que la representación sustantiva no es unívoca, en línea con la literatura más reciente: los intereses de las mujeres bonaerenses no son transparentes, ni los de las legisladoras, quienes no siempre sostienen vínculos con organizaciones de mujeres o feminismos. El principal aporte es repensar la naturaleza de la representación de las mujeres, reivindicando lo descriptivo y tensionando lo sustantivo.

En este artículo se realiza un análisis comparativo de las políticas de control y sustitución de cultivos de coca en Bolivia y en Colombia, respectivamente, a partir del contraste entre dos enfoques de paz y desarrollo —posneoliberal versus neoliberal—, así como del lugar que ocupa la variable de la participación comunitaria en las relaciones entre el Estado, las instituciones y las comunidades. Se concluye que, aunque en ambos casos la participación comunitaria se presenta como el eje fundamental para enfrentar el fenómeno de los cultivos de coca, es evidente que la relación Estado-comunidades en el caso de Bolivia, ha sido exitosa por la importancia de vincular asociaciones de base en el diseño e implementación de las políticas frente al cultivo —bottom-up— a través del Acuerdo del Cato, logrando su efectivo control y contención. En el caso de Colombia, por el contrario, el Estado continúa reproduciendo medidas tecnocráticas y de focalización —top-down— en las que la participación social se reduce a una función legitimadora en un contexto de presencia permanente de cultivos, conflicto y desborde de la violencia en diversas zonas rurales del país.

The article is devoted to the development of formal mathematical methods for modeling business processes and the application of these methods to create intelligent assistants. The theory of partial models is used to formalize the workflow at the university department. The problem of creating an intelligent assistant for automated generation of university department documents is considered. To solve this problem, an ontological model of the subject area is developed and document templates are built. The focus is on the problem of automated generation of assuredly correct documents. The generation of documents occurs in three stages: a) creation of templates; b) automatic partial filling of documents with fixed information contained in the knowledge base; c) the final meaningful filling of documents by participants in the business process. Relationships between templates, prepopulated documents, and fully populated documents are formally described in terms of homomorphisms of partial models and submodel-supermodel relationships between partial models. Semantic Web technologies are used to search for and eliminate contradictions in the information presented in the knowledge base. Thanks to the automated filling of documents, the efficiency and quality of the produced documents are increased, as well as the time for working with them is reduced. The ability to flexibly change the developed ontological model allows you to optimize the work with documents in accordance with changing regulations

Natural bioactive compounds that target pancreatic cells for the prevention and treatment of diabetes mellitus are gaining popularity. The purpose of this research was to investigate the physiologic effects of Lotus leaves on insulin and sugar levels in order to improve diabetes control. The Soxhelt apparatus was used to extract the Lotus ethanol extract, which was diluted with distilled water at two concentrations: 5 mg/ml (5 percent) and 10 mg/ml (10 percent).. Thirty female white albino rats were randomly separated into three groups: G1(n=10) was given distilled water 1ml, G2(n=10) and G3(n=10) were given a single dosage of 5% and 10% extract solution, respectively, daily for ten days. The results showed significant decrease of glucose level in serum after 10 days of treatment G2= 87.36±1.5 and G3=69.7±1.7 and significant increase of insulin level in serum G2= 78.92±1.03 and G3= 89.36±1.46.
Relationship between Household Social Influences and Eating Behaviors in U.S. Adults

Published: August 2023

Most U.S. adults find it challenging to engage in eating behaviors that can reduce risk for disease (e.g., cancer, cardiovascular disease) or facilitate weight control. Adults interested in dietary improvement may seek out behavioral nutrition interventions, but their degree of success in behavior change may be limited in part by social influences outside of the intervention, especially those within the home. Social support for healthy eating in the home is one social influence that may be especially potent, as previous research suggests that it predicts dietary intake consistent with disease prevention guidelines and health behavior changes in a variety of groups. However, many social influences at the level of the home remain under-researched, including (1) social discouragement of healthy eating, which includes verbal and behavioral exchanges that undermine healthy eating, and (2) supportive accountability, which is the combination of social encouragement for health behaviors and accountability to a benevolent, trustworthy observing other for change. This current secondary data analysis investigated the relationships between social discouragement of healthy eating and supportive accountability and (1) psychological control of eating (i.e., cognitive restraint and uncontrolled eating) and (2) dietary quality (i.e., average daily intake of fiber, fruits, vegetables, and processed foods) in a sample of U.S. adults (N=62) enrolled in a 20-week dietary intervention for cancer prevention. Participants completed self-report surveys (i.e., social discouragement, supportive accountability, psychological control of eating) and 24-hour food recalls and food frequency questionnaires to measure dietary intake. Results showed that household social influences are related to psychological control of eating and daily vegetable and fruit intake. Aligned with hypotheses, social discouragement was positively associated with uncontrolled eating, furthering research that undermining may contribute to a reduced confidence in controlling eating. However, contrary to hypotheses, supportive accountability was negatively associated with vegetable and fruit intake. Relationship quality and autonomous motivation for healthy eating moderated key relationships between social influences and eating behaviors, and co-occurring social discouragement and supportive accountability may exacerbate poorer dietary intake. Results suggest that social discouragement of healthy eating and supportive accountability are key social influences in the household environment that should be further investigated in future dietary interventions.
