Manipulating belief in free will and its downstream consequences: A meta-analysis
Authors: Genschow Oliver , Cracco Emiel , Schneider Jana , Protzko John , Wisniewski David , Brass Marcel , Schooler Jonathan
Published: February 2021

After some scientists and popular media put forward the idea that free will is an illusion, the question arose as to what would happen if people stopped believing in free will. Psychological research has investigated this question by testing the consequences of experimentally weakening people’s free will belief. The results of these investigations have been mixed, with successful experiments and unsuccessful replications. This raises two fundamental questions: Can free will beliefs be manipulated, and do such manipulations have downstream consequences? In a meta-analysis including 145 experiments (95 unpublished), we show that exposing individuals to anti-free will manipulations decreases belief in free will and increases belief in determinism. However, we could not find evidence for downstream consequences. Our findings have important theoretical implications for research on free will beliefs and contribute to the discussion of whether reducing people’s belief in free will has societal consequences.
Bayes Factors for Mixed Models

Published: February 2021

Although Bayesian linear mixed effects models are increasingly popular for analysis of within-subject designs in psychology and other fields, there remains considerable ambiguity on the most appropriate Bayes factor hypothesis test to quantify the degree to which the data support the presence or absence of an experimental effect. Specifically, different choices for both the null model and the alternative model are possible, and each choice constitutes a different definition of an effect resulting in a different test outcome. We outline the common approaches and focus on the impact of aggregation, the effect of measurement error, the choice of prior distribution, and the detection of interactions. For concreteness, three example scenarios showcase how seemingly innocuous choices can lead to dramatic differences in statistical evidence. We hope this work will facilitate a more explicit discussion about best practices in Bayes factor hypothesis testing in mixed models.
Estudio de los correlatos neurales de la percepción emocional por análisis de patrones en multitud de voxeles
Authors: David Isaac
Published: February 2021

Emotion and its perception are fundamental psychological faculties for the survival of animals and social interaction. This is recognized by the emergence of whole areas of neuroscience devoted to understanding its neural basis. Although the basic components of such emotional system have been identified, the segregation of the milieu of affective experiences into different patterns of brain signals remains poorly understood. Recent functional imaging studies have implicated simultaneous distributed activity as a better correlate of emotional state than its univariate counterpart; however, those attempts have still restricted themselves to regions of interest and severely-filtered data. In this work we tested whether the visual perception of three basic emotions can be decoded from full brain activity using multivariate pattern classification, while keeping localizationist and encoding assumptions at a minimum. Beyond stimuli prediction, we also provide proof of-concept anatomical mapping and discovery of relevant structures.To this end, we ran a face perception experiment on a sample of 16 neurotypical participants while recording their brain activity using fMRI. Per-subject SVM classifiers were trained on the fMRI data, so that they could recognize the emotion class brains were presented with. Results were cross-validated and compared against performance by chance using resampling techniques; and the whole of our reproducible pipeline was further validated using more trivial contrasts embedded within the main emotional task. Thorough assessment of behavioral data points towards the validity of our task.Results show a robust and distributed representation of (perceived) happiness in humans, but not of negative-valence anger and sadness; contrary to the more optimistic (though less diligent) existing studies. Overall, our approach proved more sensitive and anatomically specific than the classical mass-univariate analysis, amidst high-dimensionality concerns. Group inference of SVM parameters suggests the defining information-bearing pattern emanates from known structures in the ventral visual pathway and emotion-related areas. Namely: the primary visual cortex (V1) and surroundings, the middle collateral sulcus and parahippocampal gyrus (mCS, mPHG), the amygdala, the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and the anterior cerebellum around the vermis; all of them in bilateral fashion. Our work paves the way for further multivariate studies to provide a complementary picture of emotions (and other brain functions), according to its macroscale dynamics.

Cipriani como actor político
Authors: Trelles Velasquez Gustavo
Published: February 2021

Cipriani como actor político es resultado de un profundo análisis y esfuerzo por situar dentro de la discusión sobre la política peruana la imagen del entonces arzobispo de Lima y cardenal del Perú Juan Luis Cipriani; puesto que, su rol político hasta el momento no ha sido analizado ni tomado como un factor dentro de los análisis existentes sobre estudios políticos peruanos. Por ello, los autores Luis Pásara, Carlos Indacochea, Luis Cisneros y Augusto Álvarez Rodrich tratan no solo de reconstruir el rol político que este personaje ha jugado este personaje dentro de la política peruana sino nos revelan el poder que tiene la Iglesia Católica en la sociedad, la influencia que esta tiene dentro de la toma de decisiones políticas y la visibilización que le dan los medios de comunicación.
La polémica en la biología del siglo xx N. I. Vavílov y T. D. Lysenko
Authors: Talledo Gutiérrez Juan
Published: February 2021

Se presenta una breve historia e interpretación de una de las polémicas más importantes en la biología del siglo xx: la polémica Vavílov-Lysenko, en la entonces (1935-1948) Unión Soviética, y se refleja cómo Lysenko fue imponiendo sus puntos de vista, pese a no contar con soporte científico. Se describe el desarrollo de las discusiones sobre genética en la URSS entre los años 1936 y 1939 y se analizan las concepciones filosóficas de ambos personajes y cómo esto, finalmente, condujo a la tristemente célebre sesión de VASKHNIL (siglas de la Academia de Ciencias Agrícolas), de 1948. Se describe las consecuencias de esta sesión para la biología de la URSS. El trabajo tiene por objetivo poner a disposición de los investigadores una herramienta para conocer y analizar etapas interesantes, a veces dramáticas, de la historia de la ciencia, en cuyo espejo es posible que se encuentren reflejados.

The article discusses the features of the growth and development of wheat plants in winter, the precursor of which was soy in the spring-summer growing season on black soil opidzolenii by the Right-Bank of Lisosteppe of Ukraine. The dynamics of productive moisture in the soil, the influence of weather conditions on the duration of the passage of the phases of vegetation, as well as their effect on the growth and development of plants was studied. The effect of various doses and timing of the use of nitrogen fertilizers on biometric indicators, leaf surface area, mass of 100 dry plants and productivity of winter wheat variety Lazurnaya was established. Nitrogen fertilizers provide an increase in the mass of 100 dry plants by 8–16 % with the advantage of their one-time introduction to the tillering phase. A correlation between green mass of plants in different periods (tillering, tubing, heading) of vegetation and yield of winter crops has been established. The correlation between the amount of precipitation was weak (R = 0,2), strong during the exit phase into the tube (R = 0,77), and very strong during the heading phase (R = 0,96). The relationship between plant height and yield at different periods of vegetation was revealed: during the tillering phase, the correlation was significant (R = 0,55), the yield and heading were strong (R = 0,88) has been identified. The leaf surface area varied depending on weather conditions and fertilizer doses. It was greatest in the phase of entering the tube with a single application of nitrogen fertilizers with a dose of 60 kg/ha a.s., and the smallest – in the phase of milk maturity, and on average over the years of research varied from 14,7 to 22,1 thousand m2/ha depending on the intensification of fertilizers. It was found that the yield of winter wheat depended on weather conditions and fertilizers. On average, according to experience, it increased by 30–54 % and depended more on doses of fertilizers than on the timing of their use. It was the largest (6,28 t/ha) at a reliable level when P30K30 + N60 + N60 was added. A high level of reliability of the approximation (R2 = 0,96) between yield and intensification of fertilizer was found.

The article is devoted to the study of the influence of modern potato varieties of different ripeness on productivity indicators in the Western Forest-Steppe. Methods. Analysis, synthesis, generalization, field experiment. Results. The results of research showed that varietal characteristics influenced the elements of productivity of potato tubers, with the best productivity of potato varieties were Knyagynya, Myroslava and Solokha. It should also be noted that the productivity of varieties of different ripeness of potatoes depended on the weather and climatic conditions of the year. Conclusions. On average, over the years of research of 5 varieties, the average productivity of the bush was – 707 g. The highest productivity was shown by the variety Knyagynya – 924 g. It should be noted that the varieties Myroslava and Solokha also formed a high productivity from the bush: Myroslava – 762 g., Solokha – 702 g., respectively. Less productive varieties were Shchedryk – 597 g and Levada – 547 g. Analysis of weather and climatic conditions of 2019-2020 showed that the most favorable were the climatic conditions of 2019, the value of the trait this year averaged 794 g, less favorable conditions for the development of the analyzed indicator developed in 2020 – 620 g. The correlation coefficient between productivity and number of tubers from the bush was r = 0.8. It was also found that the differences in the average number of tubers from one bush between varieties was insignificant. The study of experimental varieties showed that the largest number of tubers from one bush in two years, formed in the variety Knyagynya – 10.4 pcs., variety Solokha – 8.4 pcs., and variety Levada – 8.0 pcs. On average, for two years of research, the average weight of tubers was at the level of – 86 g. Thus, the largest average weight of tubers was formed by Myroslava variety – 102 g, and Knyagynya variety – 91 g. In 2019, the weight of tubers varied from 69 g. in the variety Levada to 113 g. in the variety Myroslava; and in 2020 from 70 g. to 90 g., respectively. Thus, the most favorable for the formation of large tubers were the weather conditions in 2019, the average weight of tubers in this period was 95 g, in 2020 – 77 g. Thus, in the conditions of the Western Forest-Steppe of Ukraine on leached low-humus medium loam black soil the most productive varieties of potatoes are varieties Knyagynya, Myroslava and Solokha.

Published: February 2021

Strawberries (Fragaria ananassa) belong to short-term berries. Many technologies are used to extend its shelf life. One of the current technologies is the use of pretreatment of berries with polysaccharide solutions before refrigerated storage. This treatment makes it possible to reduce weight loss and improve the overall quality of berries by forming a protective barrier film on their surface. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of chitosan strawberries pre-treatment while storing it in a refrigerated chamber using a modified gas atmosphere. To achieve the purpose, strawberries were treated with 0,05 %; 0,2 %; 0,5 % aqueous solutions of low molecular weight chitosan were stored in a refrigerator at t 0 + 2 °C using polyethylene bags of 30 microns thickness. Unprocessed berries were used as a control. All experimental studies were performed in triplicate. According to the research results it was found that the weight loss of treated berries was 1,48 – 5,11 % and in the control 11,35 %. The mass fraction of sugars at the end of storage in the treated berries was (2,2–2,6 %), which is 0,2–0,6 times higher than in the control.. The content of ethyl alcohol is fixed in all samples. In the control variant, it was 0,87 %, and in the samples the treatment was from 0,57 – 0,8 % According to the results of the tasting evaluation, the best performance was in the sample with a concentration of 0,5 % Pretreatment of strawberry berries with aqueous solutions of low molecular weight chitosan has a positive effect on the quality of strawberry berries and can be used as an effective tool in the storage of berries

Institute of Philosophy of St. Petersburg State University: Pages of History
Authors: Dudnik S. I.
Published: February 2021

The article presents a philosophical analysis of the history of the Faculty of Philosophy, starting with Peter the Great’s reforms and ending with its modern state. It is believed that the University of St. Petersburg was organized on the basis of a note by Leibniz to Peter the Great. In fact, there is no direct coincidence, since the university was built and developed in accordance with the capabilities and needs of the Russian Empire. Even at first, the first teachers were not Germans, but the so-called “Rusyns” (Leibniz also had Slavic roots). The example of the professors’ biographies revealed little-known pages of the history of Russian philosophy. Particular attention is paid to the search for a model of philosophical education in the post-revolutionary time. In accordance with the doctrine of the three constituent parts of Marxism, the emphasis was first placed on ideology and dialectic. Then philosophy was used in the struggle for “proletarian science.” In the 60s it gained relative independence, promoted the development of the theory of cognition, sociology and theory of values. The “golden age” of Russian philosophy began in the 90-s thanks to the talented workers of the Faculty of Philosophy, who published many original works that had a significant impact on the worldview of society. The accelerated development of scientific and educational activities has been made possible by adequate structural changes in the institutions of humanities education. The experience of its reforming is also useful in today’s environment.

Published: February 2021

The concept of social responsibility is the result of the evolution of traditional views on the nature of management due to the assessment of the organization's activities impact on the external environment; an approach that has shown its effectiveness and efficiency over decades of practice. Along with the contribution of environmental issues to the formation of socially responsible behaviors, a significant contribution to the development of this concept is the revision of the organizations image and their place in society, understanding the hidden power over the formation of favorable economic conditions and defining the complex motives that determine their philanthropic inclinations. In modern conditions the concept of social responsibility is one of the most important strategic management tools used to maintain the competitiveness of the enterprise, it is used in enterprises to assess and plan activities that contribute to the harmonious development of internal and external social environment.

Published: February 2021

In the new global reality, the most appropriate model for long-term development of Kazakhstan is the industrial and innovative model. The need to implement industrial and innovative development is dictated by the challenges of the XXI century, the economic imperatives of globalization. Lagging indicators such as labor productivity, which today is only 39 thousand US dollars, while this indicator in the OECD countries is on average more than 2.5 times higher. The share of manufacturing in GDP in 2017 is only 12%, while this figure in developed countries such as China is about more than 35%. In order to enter the top 30 developed countries, further development of the industrial and innovative model is required. It is no accident that in his last two messages, the President focuses on the development of new technologies, new models of digitalization, the need to accelerate the introduction of more complex products, increase the technological level, and increase the share of exports. The development of Kazakhstan's economy requires qualitative and structural changes in the economy and a shift away from its dependence on raw materials, an increase in the share of manufacturing, high-tech industries and the expansion of exports of finished products. The formation of a competitive economy requires huge financial resources that will be directed to innovative industrialization on a long-term basis. The new global reality has led to a reduction in the ability to attract funding. Lack of internal sources of financing, reduction of external sources of financing of the banking system of Kazakhstan, insufficient development of the Kazakhstan stock market significantly limit the ability to meet the needs of the real sector of the economy in financial resources.

Aim of the study. The first goal of the study is to determine the relationship of the cognitive style "rigidity-flexibility of cognitive control" with the level indicators of intelligence. The second goal of this study is to identify possible relationships between "rigidity-flexibility of cognitive control" and the properties of temperament. Materials and Methods. In this work the authors used the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), the Stroop color–word-interference task, the Questionnaire of the formal-dynamic properties of individuality (QFDPI, designed by Rusalov V.M.), and 15 heuristic tasks, 5 tasks each in figurative, logical and figurative-logical form (designed by Kulyutkin Y.N., KrutetskiyV.A., Smallian R.). Results. The general success of solving heuristic tasks is determined by a complex of factors, which includes indicators of the flexibility of thinking, intelligence and “intellectual” temperamental properties. The flexibility of thinking is correlated with the level characteristics of intelligence in such a way that high levels of verbal, non-verbal and general intelligence correspond to the flexibility of cognitive control, low values of indicators of intelligence correspond to the pole of rigidity of this cognitive style; intellectually developed subjects are more flexible. Conclusions. The cognitive style of “rigidity-flexibility of cognitive control” can be considered as a meta-ability. This cognitive style correlates with indicators of temperament and intelligence, and to a certain extent determines the success of solving heuristic tasks.

Productive insemination of cows against the background of heat detection or synchronization of the estrous cycle within a relatively short time after the previous calving is the main factor that determines the productivity and profitability of dairy cattle breeding. Many obstetric and gynecological diseases often occur in the first 2 months of lactation. Postpartum obstetric and gynecological diseases of cows impair their reproductive qualities, which leads to prolonged anestrus, decreased fertility, and depletion of the body. Inflammatory processes of the female reproductive organs are accompanied by enhanced stress. The research aims to prevent diseases of the postpartum period and realize the potential of the reproductive qualities of cows by activating the nonspecific resistance of the organism with the Prevention-N-B-S biological preparation. Based on the performed studies, a method for the prevention of obstetric-gynecological diseases of the postpartum period and an increase in the reproductive function of cows by increasing the nonspecific resistance of the body with the biological Prevention-N-B-S is proposed. The newly designed biological preparation was for the first time used in cows of the 2nd experimental group intramuscularly at a dose of 10 ml 35-30, 15-10, and 10-5 days before the expected calving time, and the animals of the 1st experimental group were injected with Dorogov's antiseptic stimulator of fraction 2 in combination with eleovitum in a ratio of 1:9 60 days before the scheduled calving dates. It was found that in cows of the 2nd trial group (28.8±0.56 days), the first estrus began 5.8 and 14.4 days earlier than in the mates of the 1st trial group (34.6±0.93 days) and control (43.2±1.64 days) groups. There was a decrease in the conception rate in cows of the 1st (1.8±0.24) and 2nd (1.4±0.36) trial groups, in comparison with the control (2.6±0.26). The service period in the 1st (64.6±1.62 days) and 2nd (57.8±1.50 days) experimental groups decreased compared to the control group (89.2±3.02 days). In the first sexual estrus in the control, 1st and 2nd experimental groups, 2, 4, and 6 cows have become fertile, respectively. The use of biological in the critical periods of cow pregnancy reduced the risks of uterine subinvolution, endometritis, and mastitis in the postpartum period, and also increased the reproductive qualities of cows. The most expressed corresponding effect was obtained when using the biological preparation Prevention-N-B-S.
EFFECTIVE METHODS OF CARE FOR SUNFLOWER CROPS
Authors: Nasiyev B.N.
Published: February 2021

Sunflower cultivation is relevant in the climatic conditions of Western Kazakhstan, characterized by high heat supply and a long growing season. In order to obtain a high yield of sunflower in the system of adaptive technologies, proper pre-sowing preparation of the soil and optimal sowing times are important. Weeds cause great damage to the sunflower crop. Having a powerful underground and aboveground mass, sunflower competes with weeds better than many other field crops. As the accounting data showed, in our studies of 2018-2020, the greatest contamination of sunflower crops was in the variants without the use of herbicides. So, on average for 3 years in the phase 2 of real leaves, when using the harrowing + pre-sowing cultivation (control) technology, there were 10.67 weeds per 1 m2 with a raw mass of 31.22 g/m2. According to research data, on average for 2018-2020, the highest oil harvest is set for the harrowing + pre-sowing cultivation option with roundup (2 l/ha) – 9.57 с/ha. When using 1 and 2 inter-row treatments combined with harrowing and pre-sowing cultivation, the oil harvest increased to 7.16-7.95 с/ha, which is more than the control by 0.92-1.71 с/ha.

Objective: We developed the simplified formulas for the calculation of carcinogenic risk in case of inhalation and cutaneous entry of drinking water chloroform into the human body. Materials and methods: We calculated average daily lifetime doses for the oral, inhalation and cutaneous entry of drinking water chloroform into the human body according to the R.2.1.10.1920-04 and MU 2.2.4-122-2005. The calculation of carcinogenic risks was carried out taking into account the average daily entry of a chemical substance throughout life and the slope factor. Mathematical calculations were performed with the help of the STATISTICA 10 portable software package. Results: In the calculation of the carcinogenic risks, the formulas for the determination of the average daily dose for the inhalation and cutaneous routes of entry of carcinogen into the human body are more complex in comparison with the oral route with additional calculations, reference values, coefficients, etc. Therefore, we have developed a simplified method for its assessment. Linear regression models were chosen to describe the dependence of the carcinogenic risk in the inhalation and cutaneous routes of entry on the concentration of chloroform in water. Evaluation of the results obtained by the values of the correlation coefficients (R, RI), Fisher's criterion (F, pF), and errors of the coefficients (p) showed that both models were adequate to the initial data with a very high degree of reliability. Conclusions: As a result of the study, the solutions of the problem of the assessment of the carcinogenic health risk from the entry of chloroform with drinking water by inhalation and cutaneous routes were obtained with the help of simplified mathematical formulas of linear dependence. The advantage of the proposed solution method is a speed and ease of getting value of the individual carcinogenic risk for the population of various cities of Ukraine for each route of entry, based on the chloroform content in drinking water. This will make it possible to apply risk assessment for a comparative assessment of the impact of chloroform in drinking water at different territories, in different periods of time before and after preventive measures, to compare the effectiveness of the introduction of new technological processes and equipment, etc.

Objective: We evaluated the sensitizing effect of various detergents intended for the care of dishes and other products for children. Materials and methods: The study was carried out in guinea pigs. The sensitization of the animal’s organism was studied in the reaction of degranulation of peripheral blood basophils (after Shelley). Forthestudy, we selected 10% solutions of domestic and foreign products for washing children's dishes ("Alionka", "Karapuz", "Ushastyi Nian", "Frosch Baby") purchased in the supermarkets of Kyiv. Results: In 21 days, the performed study made it possible to establish the development of sensitization of the organism of the animals in the experimental groups exposed to the solutions of the detergents "Alionka", "Karapuz", "Ushasty Nian” for washing children's dishes, although the degree of its manifestation was different. The solution of the detergent "Ushastyi Nian" was shown to possess more pronounced sensitizing properties, as evidenced by the development of weak positive autosensitization and positive sensitization of the organism of the experimental animals. The impact of the detergents for cleaning children's products "Alionka" and "Karapuz"on the animals’ organism leads to the development of mild sensitization, and when using the solution of "Alionka" detergent, a development of the weakly expressed autosensitization of the organism is also observed in the animals. There was no increase in the degranulation of basophilic granulocytes in the presence of both tissue antigen and hapten in the group of animals where the solution of detergent "Frosh Baby" was used, which indicated the absence of auto- and sensitization of the organism of the animals of this group.
