Authors:   The Far-Eastern State Medical University, Cherevko M. A. ,   The Far-Eastern branch of the Russian State University of Justice
Published: October 2022

The article is devoted to the study of processes of formation of the institution of pedagogical mentoring in the conditions of the modern educational space. The author pays considerable attention to the analysis of mentoring from the position of professional self-determination as one of the important factors for the success of this process at the stage of professional adaptation of a young teacher. The author considers options for reviving the institution of mentoring in Russian schools as an effective way to integrate and socialize a young teacher, to form an understanding in the pedagogical community of the functionality of a mentor, the technology for implementing mentoring, and the interaction between a mentor and a young specialist. The article actualizes the need to develop a system model and apply mentoring technology for the professional development of a young specialist, reveals the main theoretical and methodological approaches to understanding this technology. Analysis of the difficulties faced by young teachers at the stage of entry into the professional activities is presented. Empirical data obtained by the author testify to a number of problems that young specialists face at the stage of entry into pedagogical activity (lack of free time, problems in organizing personal time, difficulties in teaching the subject, communicating with students and their parents). All this, in turn, actualizes the need to revive the institution of mentoring in order to solve a binary problem: help and support for young professionals, as well as reducing the teaching load for experienced teachers with a long teaching experience and school administration, whose mentoring functions are formalized. Along with the growing interest in the quality of training of a young teacher, it gives grounds for concluding that the scientific understanding of this issue is promising. The article draws the main conclusions and proposals for introducing the institution of mentoring into the school education system as part of a pilot approach in the Khabarovsk Territory with the aim of subsequently consolidating and replicating the experience of other interested subjects of the Far-Eastern federal district.

Published: October 2022

In August 2019 the state approved creation of the pilot free trade zones in three border provinces and regions (Heilongjiang, Guangxi and Yunnan) with the aim of accelerating opening of the border through the reforms and innovation. Creation of a pilot free trade zone along the border is of great importance for China, as it creates a new high bar for openness to the outside world and contributes to economic and social development of the border areas in a new era. It is also an important measure for the country to promote the construction of «One Belt, One Road» and improve the China's new model of comprehensive openness. Based on the experience of cross-border cooperation in the other border pilot free trade zones, this article discusses specific measures, development difficulties and relevant proposals for leveling the system of the province's international trade channels towards Russia and the North-Eastern Asia.
A Study on the Unconstitutionality of the Regional Human Resources Selection Provisions in the Act on the Development of Local Universities and Colleges and Regional Human Resources, and its Regulation
Authors:   Wonkwang University Legal Research Institute has, Kim Hyunchul , Moon Kiseok
Published: October 2022

The Act on the Development of Local Universities and Colleges and Regional Human Resources (the “Act on Local Universities”) mandates local universities and colleges to allocate a fixed percentage or more of their admission quota to local applicants, identified in the Act as regional human resources. Such a mandatory admission system has the following ground for further unconstitutionality.
First, Section 15(6) of the Act on Local Universities violates the rule against blanket delegation, because: (1) delegation is implemented when there is no need; and (2) no predictability can be recognized. In addition, the regulation section 10(3), promulgated under the Act on Local Universities, likewise does not provide any predictability, and the relevant provisions under the rule allow arbitrary interpretation and enforcement by the administrative agencies, violating the principle of clarity. Furthermore, the system at issue interferes with the local universities and colleges’ right to the autonomy of institutions of higher learning and the right to carry out necessary education to pursue an occupation of their choosing held by the applicants who have graduated from universities and colleges in the Capital city area, by violating the doctrine against over-inclusiveness, a basic doctrine the government must comply with whenever it attempts to interfere with the basic rights of citizens. Finally, the scheme under the Act on Local Universities violates the principle of equality, as it imposes the obligation of admitting local talents only upon local law-schools, not upon the law schools located in the Capital city and its suburbs. There is no reasonable justification for such a discriminatory treatment of law schools.
Accordingly, the scheme of selecting local talents under the Act on Local Universities must be stricken down, or if the government wants to continue the system, there should be legislative amendments and improvements to the system. First, when the Act on Local Universities delegates legislative authorities to rule-making agencies, the legislature must specify the maxim ratio of local talent admission in the Act itself, and only the authority to determine detailed ratios shall be delegated. Second, the timing to implement the system must be specified in the rules, considering the possibility of local law schools’ failure to fill the mandated ratio. Third, the definition of local talents shall be enlarged to include those who have graduated from relevant local high schools. Here, it should be noted that the government, central or local, shall fully support such local talents financially so as for such students to focus only on pursuing their legal education. Fourth, the duty to admit local talents shall be imposed also upon law schools located in the Capital city and its suburban cities so that the burden is shouldered fairly.

Many political scientists think governance promotes the growth of trust between the state and society and serves as the long-term basis for state legitimacy. Haider, Mcloughlin, and Scott (2011). Many African societies’ efforts to establish their cultures have been endangered by technology and civilisation. Despite this alarming and dire situation, communication is nevertheless believed to be a powerful force for spreading and transmitting culture, the center of human activity, and the advancement of society. This discourse examines the communication components for cultural development in Nigeria, focusing on platforms and concerns. The study is descriptive, predicated upon secondary sources, and anchored on the cultural imperialism thesis. The results show that communication can promote cultural development in Nigeria. The study suggests that to promote cultural development in Nigeria, some contact- and culturally-focused knotty issues be tackled by cultural communicators. It recommends using integrated media platforms for cultural campaigns to harness the nation’s comprehensive cultural development.
PEER TO PEER LENDING AS ALTERNATIVE ONLINE MICROFINANCE PLATFORM: THREAT AND CHALLENGE TO ISLAMIC MICROFINANCE
Authors: Hasyim Fuad
Published: October 2022

Technological progress will be in line with the development of science. Innovation was created to provide positive benefits and convenience for human life. This study aims to see the public acceptance of the use of online financing applications called P2P Lending. The approach is made by using the Technology Acceptance Model Theory with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that all constructs consisting of PEoU, PU, Attitude, Behavior Intention to Use and Actual System Use have a significant effect (α <0.05). The conclusion tells us that convenience will create a positive user experience (useful) so that it has an impact on the attitude of using the P2P lending platform. A continuous attitude will form habits, which will eventually reach a high frequency of use (addiction) and create user satisfaction. At the level of user satisfaction, this means that acceptance from P2P Lending is welcomed and enthusiastic for millennials and has the potential to threaten traditional microfinance (disruptive) like BMT.

Published: October 2022

This study aims to offer an alternative approach to the implementation of the labor law system in Indonesia. With the approach of Islamic law and socio-legal research as its basic tools for analyzing the implementation of various labor law regulations, the results of the study show; first, various labor problems that arise at this time are caused by, among others, there is no common understanding yet on the concept of equal relationship between workers and employers, the lack of government political will in enforcing the rules, the low skills of labor, uncertainty of market mechanisms, uneven distribution of the worker, and the presence of foreign workers; second, the implementation of the labor system is still far away from the concept of fiqh ijarah; and third, the lack of work spirituality.
FARID ESACK'S QUR’ANIC HERMENEUTICS OF PLURALISM FOR INTERRELIGIOUS COOPERATION IN INDONESIA
Authors: Muttaqin Zaenal
Published: October 2022

In contemporary Islamic thought, religious pluralism has been a discourse that many Moslem scholars have introduced to the Islamic community. One of the scholars is Dr. Farid Esack, a South African exegete who is also well-known as a human right activist. Brought up under an apartheid regime ruling South Africa, Esack is of a certain opinion that religion should function to struggle against any unjust order. To make a radical and fundamental change, according to Esack, there is no way but to constructively reinterpret religious discourse and role so as to be a tool of liberation. Using yet controversial a hermeneutical analysis on the Qur'an, Farid Esack raises the idea of pluralism dealing critically with the struggle against oppression and toward liberation for South Africa.

Published: October 2022

A large number of teachers are adopting one-size-fits-all teaching instruction for all students. However, the diversity of student characteristics should require teaching strategies that can meet various mixed abilities in the classroom. The study focused on analyzing the implementation of differentiated instruction and investigating the challenges encountered by the teacher in implementing differentiated instruction in teaching during the pandemic of Covid-19 in Senior High School. This research uses a descriptive qualitative research design assisted by observation and an interview. The researcher, observation sheet, interview guide, and documents were used as instruments to obtain the data. The participants of the study consisted of the researcher, an English teacher, and thirty-six students from class PBB 1. The data of the study were analyzed through components of the data analysis interactive model which included three concurrent activities such as data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings showed the implementation of differentiated instruction was partial. The teacher differentiated content, process, and product by following students' interests and learning profiles. However, the differentiation based on student readiness levels was not visible. The teacher only used eLearning, Zoom Video Conference, and WhatsApp groups, similar to how teachers commonly conducted online learning. In using differentiated instruction, the teacher encountered challenges associated with students' participation in a virtual class, a large number of students, a lack of time for planning, and group activities in learning that were limited.

Selection and Identification of a Model of Elasto-Viscoplasticity of the Filled Fluorocomposite according to Free and Constrained Compression Tests
Authors: Petukhov D. S. , Adamov A. A. , Keller I. E.
Published: October 2022

Introduction. Properties of filled composites based on polytetrafluoroethylene allow them to work at high contact pressures, reciprocating nature of shear loads, and in a wide temperature range. Due to this, they are used as antifriction layers of bearing parts with ball segment. To simulate the mechanical behavior of such materials under operating conditions, adequate constitutive equations of elasto-viscoplasticity and methods of their identification according to the data of basic experiments are needed.

Materials and Methods. The tensor-linear model of elasto-viscoplasticity should be identified according to the data of tests on free compression of samples. They were subjected to loading up to a maximum deformation of 10 %, allowed to remain, unloaded, and then, a similar loading cycle up to 160 MPa under constrained compression was carried out. The experiment with a composite based on polytetrafluoroethylene filled with 40 wt. % fine bronze, was conducted at room temperature. Tests for constrained compression were performed for two values of the strain rate, and for free compression – for three values of the strain rate in the range of 10-6 – 10-3 s-1. For the description, two models of elasto-viscoplasticity were considered, representing modifications of Swain and Kletschkowski’s models and corresponding to the connection of a viscoelastic or elastic nonlinear viscous element with a plastic or endochronic element. An integral operator with a Kohlrausch kernel was considered as a viscoelastic element.

Results. The results of the constrained compression tests made it possible to separate the elastic relationship of volumetric deformations and average stresses from the constitutive relations. The data of free compression cycles at different strain rates were used to determine the material constants of the model. For this purpose, an efficient search algorithm based on the simplex method of minimizing the discrepancy was implemented. Both models discovered the importance of the plastic component (independent of the deformation rate) for a qualitative description of the stress cycling that accompanied the cyclic deformation, as well as their dependence on the strain rate.

Discussion and Conclusions. Both models of elasto-viscoplasticity described correctly the behavior of the studied fluorocomposite under loading conditions close to the operating conditions of the antifriction layers of the bearing parts with ball segment. They can be considered as a basis for their further generalization, taking into account the dependence on temperature.
Increasing the Durability of Butt-Welded Joints Operating under Cyclic Loads in a Biaxial Stress Field
Authors: Lyudmirsky Yu. G. , Leonov V. P. , Assaulenko S. S.
Published: October 2022

Introduction. In sheet and hull structures operating under pressure, destruction, as a rule, is localized along the transition line from the base metal to the weld metal. Methods of increasing the durability of butt-welded joints, which are aimed at reducing stress concentration and creating favorable residual compression stresses, are described.

Materials and Methods. The tests were carried out on an installation for biaxial bending, which created a biaxial stress field. Factory-made coupons and samples with an additionally processed transition zone from the weld metal to the base metal were tested. The effectiveness of further processing is shown by the following methods:

– abrading;

– grit hardening;

– abrading with grit hardening;

– melting of the fusion line in argon without filler wire;

– melting of the fusion line in argon with filler wire EP-410U;

– melting of the fusion line without filler wire with plastic deformation between narrow rollers.

Results. The origin, development of destruction, and its features were analyzed using different methods of further processing of joint welds. Confidence spans (95 %) of the origin and development of failures for joint welds and base metal were calculated. The efficiency of the proposed methods for further processing was evaluated.

Discussion and Conclusions. An analysis of the effectiveness of methods for increasing the durability of butt-welded joints has shown that the creation of a smooth transition from the weld metal to the base metal reduces significantly the stress concentration. This provides increasing the number of cycles before the onset of destruction and the survivability of compounds. Due to compressive stresses in the near-weld area, it is possible to increase the durability of joint welds. The most effective methods of further processing of welds combine the reduction of stress concentration and the creation of residual compression stresses. The high-tech solution is remelting the transition zone in an argon medium with an additional EP-410U filler wire.
Solving the Problem of Determining the Mechanical Properties of Road Structure Materials Using Neural Network Technologies
Authors: Babushkina N. E. , Lyapin A. A.
Published: October 2022

Introduction. Determination of mechanical properties of layered structures of highways is an urgent task. This is due, firstly, to the need to control the quality of new sections during the construction of highways. Secondly, to assess the condition of existing roads with the accumulation of damage and defects is of interest. The formation of multiple defects (cracks) changes the averaged viscoelastic properties of the components of the structure, specifically, the surface asphalt-concrete layers. The article discusses the use of neural network technologies to improve the accuracy of the recovery of viscoelastic properties. This approach is based on experimental methods. As an example, we can give the definition of the dynamic deflection of a structure from a falling weight, FWD.

Materials and Methods. The elastic modulus of a three-layer structure was determined on the basis of a neural network. To find out the solution accuracy, it was compared to the results of mathematical modeling and experimental data.

Results. The experimental and calculated parameters of the elastic modulus of individual layers of the road structure turned out to be very close. The proposed approach to determining the mechanical properties of materials of road structures allowed us to apply the obtained results to examination of the condition of individual elements and the entire road structure.

Discussion and Conclusions. The prospects of using artificial intelligence to determine the mechanical properties of layered structures was shown. Further improvement of methods and tools for analyzing the behavior of road structures under dynamic loading will expand existing approaches to assessing the condition of road structures.

Отмечается, что переход на дистанционный формат обучения в период пандемии выявил низкий уровень цифровой грамотности педагогов, что препятствует эффективной организации учебного процесса инструментами онлайн. Акцентируется внимание на недостаточности разработки критериев и индикаторов цифровой грамотности среди педагогов, отсутствии ее мониторинга в организациях общего образования. Анализируются подходы зарубежных и российских исследователей к определению содержания понятия цифровой грамотности как ориентира цифровой трансформации системы образования. На основе самооценки педагогов определяются дефициты в их цифровой подготовке в условиях организации дистанционного обучения в системе общего образования на базе анализа ситуации в Сибирском федеральном округе. Предлагается предварительная сравнительная оценка структуры и уровня цифровой грамотности учителей, полученная на основе самоанализа адаптационных образовательных практик педагогов в период пандемического кризиса.

It is noted that the transition to a distance learning format during the pandemic revealed a low level of digital literacy of teachers, which hinders the effective organization of the educational process with online tools. Attention is focused on the lack of development of criteria and indicators of digital literacy among teachers, the lack of its monitoring in general education organizations. The approaches of foreign and Russian researchers to the definition of the content of the concept of digital literacy as a benchmark for the digital transformation of the education system are analyzed. The authors adhered to an expanded interpretation of digital literacy as an element of mastering the culture of the digital age, which implies the presence of broad competencies in the field of search, production, communication and distribution of digital content and information, as well as the conversion of digital skills into pedagogical technologies. In order to identify the understanding of the structure of digital literacy by teachers in the context of limited remote interaction using digital means, the authors used the focus group method in an online format to conduct the study. Based on self-assessment of teachers, deficits in digital pedagogical training of teachers are determined in the context of organizing distance learning in the system of general education based on an analysis of the situation in the Siberian Federal District. A preliminary comparative assessment of the structure and level of digital literacy with students, obtained on the basis of self-analysis of the adaptive educational practices of teachers during the pandemic crisis, is proposed.

Published: October 2022

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of human capital on the service quality of accredited universities in Kenya. The study was guided by the positivist domain which is a major doctrine or theory in social sciences largely used in survey types of research. The study employed both a crosssectional research design and an explanatory research design. The target population comprised 74 public and private universities in Kenya. The sample size was 222 respondents. The main data collection tool was a questionnaire. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Findings established that human capital had a significantly positive relationship with service quality. Human capital explained about 38% of the variation in service quality of accredited universities in Kenya. The practical implications for the study are that the human capital such as strategic leaders in universities should be aligned and increase their adoption of strategic leadership practices in order to inspire good managerial practices in universities. Additionally, the finding that human capital affects service quality is consistent with the Upper Echelons theory. This theory offers a framework for viewing leaders as wise, experienced, and educated change agents who serve as critical assets capable of enhancing service quality in their institutions.

Published: October 2022

The integrated geometrical product specification (GPS) system for workpiece geometry specification and verification is an improved engineering tool for product development and production. The goal of the GPS system is to provide tools for cost-effective management of variability in products and processes. This can be achieved by using a more precise way of expressing the functional requirements of the workpiece, complete and well-defined specifications and integrated verification approaches. The intended function of the product is ensured by controlling the geometry and material properties of the workpiece parts, which make up the product. GPS is a language just for checking geometry, and further development is based on computational mathematics and correct, consistent logic using general sets of rules that can be applied to all types of specifications. This article deals with the application of GPS rules in the design of gearboxes.

Authors: Mihăilă Theofana , Roșca Aurelian , Ion Bianca
Published: October 2022

Cardiovascular disorders have been described as relevant risk factor for severe COVID infection. Stent thrombosis is a life-threatening complication that may occur subacutely. We present an interesting case of a middle-aged woman who developed acute stent thrombosis while interrupting dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) ticagrelor, during an episode of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). In our case, the patient’s not-compliance to DAPT, associated with COVID-19 infection and a hyperinflammatory and hypercoagulable state associated with it played a major role in the development of stent thrombosis. The hypercoagulable and hyperinflammatory state associated with COVID-19 has important implications for cardiac patients, especially those undergoing complex coronary intervention, predisposing them to an increased risk of post-PCI complications.

The commercial apple growing industry in Latvia has a lack of climate adapted modern cultivars. The Latvian apple breeding programme is targeted at cultivars adapted to the cool climate of Baltic countries and Scandinavia, with fruit quality and storage suitable for commercial production. Since 1989, scab resistance (Rvi6, Rvi5) donors are included in crosses. Several cultivars already show commercial promise — ‘Dace’, ‘Gita’, ’Monta’ (Rvi6) and the polygenic resistant ‘Laila’ and ‘Pure Ametist’. However, in 2020, the Rvi6 resistance was overcome in Latvia. Donors of polygenic scab tolerance may prove a better alternative. The most successful donors have been ‘Iedzēnu’, ‘Eksotika’, ‘Alesya’, and ‘Bohemia’. Marker assisted gene pyramiding was started, including markers linked to the resistance genes Rvi5 and Rvi6. Scab resistant cultivars ‘Edite’, ‘Felicita’, ‘Ligita’, and ‘Paulis’ show low susceptibility to Neonectria ditissima canker. To achieve high fruit quality and good storage, worldwide commercial cultivars are crossed with local adapted cultivars. Such crosses that have been registered include ‘Inta’, ‘Lora’, and ‘Saulesmeita’. Recent crosses for quality include ‘Honeycrisp’, where H-1-07-36 and H-1-07-42 show most promise. Improved biochemical content and flesh structure is one of the main targets. An additional line of breeding is aimed at ornamental and cider apples. The scab resistant Nr.19-97-154 (Cidross) was selected for cider. The red leaf columnar apple ‘Karlens’ and the compact red-leaf crab ‘Auce’ have been registered.

Cold resistance of fruit tree buds is very important. Climate change brings unstable winters, and the temperature often fluctuates and creates many problems in fruit growing. Research on bud cold damage was conducted during three years (2019–2021) at the Institute of Horticulture. Three Latvian plum cultivars, ‘Ance’, ‘Adelyn’, and ‘Sonora’, were studied, while cultivar ‘Jubileum’ was used as a control. This study aimed to determine the cold resistance of flower buds and vegetative buds of plum cultivars after the deep dormancy period. Evaluation of buds was done on one-year-old shoots and spurs. Evaluation of cold damage on flower buds and vegetative buds was done after the deep dormancy period: in February 2019 and at the end of January 2020 and 2021, after keeping the buds for a limited time in temperatures thresholds of –20 °C, –25 °C, –30 °C, –35 °C in alternating climate chambers. The results showed significant differences among cultivars, years, and between branch types. Vegetative buds for all cultivars were without significant cold damage. Up to –30 °C wood browning was observed near the base of buds. A significant amount of flower bud damage (up to 100%) was observed in 2020, in a temperature threshold until –30 °C for both types of branches. The most durable cultivars were ‘Ance’ and ‘Adelyn’ (up to –25 °C, bud survival was near 100%) all three years. ‘Jubileum’ had the most vulnerable flower buds. The lowest low-temperature damage for all cultivars was in 2021. For one-year-old shoots, bud damage only occurred at –35 °C for all cultivars all years.
Preliminary Assessment of the Relationship between Pigments in Olive Leaves and Vegetation Indices

Content of leaf pigments such as chlorophyll a and b, chlorophyll a+b and carotenoids can provide valuable insight into the physiological performance of plants. These compounds have selective proprieties for light absorption and reflectance in the visible spectra that can be used to evaluate alternative methods to biochemical to estimate their content. Numerous studies in the literature have established correlations between these compounds, spectral reflectance and vegetation indices. Nevertheless, the appropriate use of these indices depends on plant species and cultivars. Thus, the objective of this study was to assess the most common vegetation indices for the estimation of chlorophyll a and b, chlorophyll a+b and carotenoids of three olive tree cultivars (Olea europaea L, cv. Cobrançosa, cv. Verdeal Transmontana and cv. Madural) under six irrigation treatments, using spectroscopy. The results showed that the correlation between leaf pigments and vegetation indices depends not only on the type of pigment but also on the cultivar. Among the studied cultivars, cv. Cobrançosa showed the best correlation between the “M Locherer chlorophyll” index (MLO) and chlorophyll a content (r2 = 0.66) and for the carotenoid reflectance index (CRI) 2 and carotenoids content (r2 = 0.87). Although the results are preliminary, it seems that vegetation indices could be a useful tool for leaf pigment evaluation, and to give information about plant interactions with biotic and abiotic environmental stress conditions.

Published: October 2022

The effects of hydrogel granules mixed with peat substrate on germination, morphological and physiological parameters of plugged seedlings were tested in tomato seedlings, at two different irrigation regimes. Due to hydrogel presence, the germination speed was increased, whereas mean germination time was significantly reduced. Slight improvement was recorded regarding final germination, but no effect was found regarding the synchronisation index and seedling vigour index. Due to addition of hydrogel granules a significant increase occurred in dry matter of shoots and plants. No effect was found regarding dry matter of roots, but the presence of hydrogel granules significantly reduced the length of tap root. Interestingly, stomata conductance and chlorophyll index were higher than in control plants. No statistically significant interaction was found between hydrogel variants and irrigation frequency, i.e., the effect of different levels of hydrogel variants did not depend on irrigation frequency. Therefore, we recommend mixing hydrogel capsules into the substrate of plug seedlings to improve the morphological and physiological parameters of seedlings and reduce water and fertiliser leaching into the environment.

Background: Gallstones disease (GSD) is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. It has a wide range of causes, presentations, complications, and risk factors. The risk factors range from unmodifiable (e.g., age, sex) to modifiable (e.g., physical inactivity) risk factors including complications such as cholecystitis and choledocholithiasis. Such a list of precipitating factors, multiple presentations, and complications requires knowledge to prevent, detect, and treat. This study was conducted to assess the awareness level of GSD among females in Medina and to explore the relationship between awareness level and different socio-demographic factors.
Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted among 388 females in Medina. A questionnaire was used as a tool to calculate the "awareness score"; a score of >70% considered the participant as "aware."
Results: Among 388 females, 212 (54.6%) participants were aware of GSD risks and complications. The participants' mean score was 7.5 ± 2.6, with >7 as a "passing score." In regard to socio-demographic factors, age had a significate relation (p = 0.021). Furthermore, significant associations were observed in past medical (p = 018) and family history (p = 0.038), in addition to attending a GSD course (p = 0.000).
Conclusion: The study shows that among the studied subjects, half of the participants were aware of GSD risks, presentations, and complications. Thus, more education programs are needed to reduce the disease's burden.
