Credibility of Environmental Issues in Non-Financial Mandatory Disclosure: Measurement and Determinants
Authors: Balluchi Federica , Lazzini Arianna , Torelli Riccardo
Published: January 2021

Through the lens of legitimacy theory and starting from Habermas’s communication theory the paper aims to extend and contribute to the research fields related to the quality of social and environmental disclosure and corporate legitimacy by focusing on firms’ environmental reporting credibility. The study proposes an operationalization of the corporate environmental reporting credibility concept identifying possible determinants, related measurements and indicators. Through a content analysis we have measured the credibility of non-financial reports of 152 business entities that, in accordance with the Italian law, published for the first time in 2018, at a mandatory level, social and environmental reports. The results show a good level of credibility in Italian reporting context and in particular a high level of understandability, but a low level of exhaustivity. Findings highlight also the important role of experience in voluntary non-financial reporting, the use of stand-alone document and the belonging to an ESI in influencing the credibility of the communication. The results offer implications and scientific contributions related to the proposal of a detailed model for the measurement of social and environmental reporting applicable to any type of document, in any geographical contest, and any time frame.

Music and mood regulation during the early-stages of the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Sachs Matthew , Hennessy Sarah , Kaplan Jonas , Habibi Assal
Published: January 2021

Music-listening can be an effective strategy for regulating affect, leading to positive wellbeing. 16 However, it is unclear how differences in culture and disposition can impact music’s affective 17 benefits. The COVID-19 pandemic provides a unique opportunity to study how music is used to 18 cope with stress, loss, and unease across the world. We used an online survey to test if people 19 from four different countries used music to manage their emotions during quarantine and if the 20 functions of music depended on empathy, anxiety, depression, or country of residence. We 21 found a positive relationship between the use of music-listening for affect regulation and current 22 wellbeing, particularly for participants from India. While people with stronger symptoms of 23 depression and anxiety used music differently, the end result was still a positive change in 24 affect. Our findings highlight the universality of music’s affective potency and its ability to help 25 people manage an unprecedented life stressor.

Akan tetapi apabila nilai kurtosis 0 menunjukkan data normal, dan apabila nilai kurtosis semakin kecil, maka menunjukkan data semakin tumpul (semakin menyebar dikatakan data tidak homogen).Skewness diartikan sebagai kemiringan distribusi data. Yang dimaksud dengan kemiringan data adalah besarnya pembagian data atau rata-rata sebaran data yang biasanya di wujudkan denan bentuk lonceng, untuk data yang berdistribusi normal
Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) using Zeolite for Reduction of NOx Emissions in C.I. Engines
Authors: Dwivedi Ayush , Chaudhary Hemraj , Chintala Venkateshwarlu , Karn Ashish
Published: January 2021

The current study is aimed for reduction of NOx emission (oxides of nitrogen) from a direct injection CI engine by SCR (selective catalytic reduction) technology. The SCR system was developed originally at the (CAER) Centre for alternate and renewable energy in which zeolite was used as a catalyst. The developed SCR system was integrated with a single chamber direct injection CI engine of 3.7 kW rated power at 1500 rpm. Experimental tests results revealed the significant reduction of NOx emission with SCR system at all engine loads. Experimental design of the investigation typified obtaining standard behaviour of the engine i.e., without SCR followed by engine's information after the presentation of SCR framework. It is investigated from the exploratory tests results that hydrocarbon (HC) emission was highest about 20ppm at 10kg load yet at 4kg load it decreased to 16ppm. Carbon monoxide (CO) emission was moderately increased with SCR system. NOx emission are minimum with SCR at all engine loading conditions as compared to without SCR system. An experimental time study is also done & readings being taken in the time interval of 5 minutes. A difference of 10ppm hydrocarbon emission has been measured in between 15-20 minutes. In the NOx emissions, a difference of 97 ppm has been observed while using the SCR system. Henceforth, the introduction of SCR to the engine minimizes the emissions & enhance the combustion performance along with the benefit of reduction in NOx emissions. After the complete analysis of the data, the outcomes demonstrate a positive impact on the selective catalyst reduction (SCR) system set up with the engine.
Modal Engineering of Inductive Circuits to Achieve Rapid Settling Times
Authors: Javor Josh , Barrett Lawrence , Imboden Matthias , Giannetta Russ , Campbell David K. , Bishop David J.
Published: January 2021

Inductive circuits and devices are a ubiquitous and important design element in many applications such as magnetic drives, galvanometers, magnetic scanners, applying DC magnetic fields to systems, RF coils in NMR systems and vast array of other applications. They are widely used to generate both DC and AC magnetic fields. Many of these applications require a rapid step and settling time, turning the DC or AC magnetic field on and off quickly. The inductive response normally makes this a challenging thing to do. In this article we discuss open loop control algorithms for achieving rapid step and settling times in four general categories of applications: DC and AC systems where the system is either under or over damped. Each of these four categories requires a different algorithm which we describe here. We show the operation of these drive methods using Simulink and Simscape modeling tools, analytical solutions to the underlying differential equations and in experimental results using an inductive magnetic coil and a Hall sensor. Finally, we demonstrate application of these techniques to significantly reduce ringing in a standard NMR circuit. We intend this article to be practical with useful, easy to apply algorithms and helpful tuning tricks.
In-field railhead crack detection using digital image correlation
Authors: Meyer Knut Andreas , Gren Daniel , Ahlström Johan , Ekberg Anders
Published: January 2021

A significant challenge for railway infrastructure managers is to know when and how to maintain rails. Often, the critical missing information is the current health status, in particular information about rail cracks. Therefore, a new method for rail crack detection is proposed. By utilizing a train-mounted camera system, a single measurement train can monitor a large rail network. The system uses Digital Image Correlation (DIC) to measure the strain fields due to rail bending caused by the measurement train. Promising results are obtained under laboratory conditions. The identified cracks are correlated to the actual crack network, characterized by serial-sectioning microscopy. Furthermore, finite element simulations show the method's high sensitivity to crack depths. Knowing the crack depths enable infrastructure managers to optimize the rail maintenance.
Motivation resides only in our language, not in our mental processes.
Authors: Murayama Kou
Published: January 2021

“Motivation” is one of the most popular and important concepts in psychology. But what is motivation actually? To answer the question, in this essay, I argue that motivation does not exist in our mental processes --- rather, motivation is a naïve linguistic expression that loosely represents emergent properties of underlying mental processes. Therefore, there are no definitive features of motivation, and there is no such entity in our mental processes. As an example, I showed that a reward-learning framework of knowledge acquisition can sufficiently describe autonomous behaviors often attributed to “need for competence”, without assuming the existence of such motivation. I further argue that the term motivation is so useful to explain behavior that it could often even stop us from thinking deeply about our mental processes, potentially preventing the mechanistic understanding of human mind.
Daily sensation-seeking and urgency in young adults: Examining associations with alcohol use and self-defined risky behaviors
Authors: McGowan Amanda L. , Falk Emily B. , Zurn Perry , Bassett Danielle S , Lydon-Staley David M.
Published: January 2021

Purpose: To examine the dynamic expression of sensation-seeking and urgency in daily life and the implications for alcohol use and risk-taking during young adulthood.Methods: Daily diary surveys were administered to young adults (n = 77) aged 18-25 years every evening for 21 days to assess day’s sensation-seeking, urgency, risk-taking, and alcohol use. Results: Days of higher than usual sensation-seeking are also days of higher than usual risk-taking and are more likely to be alcohol use days than days of lower than usual sensation-seeking. Day’s urgency was not associated with day’s alcohol use or risk-taking. We extracted 10 themes from self-reports of the day’s riskiest behavior: transportation (29.9%), social (22.8%), recreation (17.4%), work (14.8%), school (13.5%), food (9.5%), sleep (9.2%), substance use (5.8%), other (5.2%), and jaywalking (1.5%), and 14.6% of self-reported risky behaviors were considered threatening to safety, health, or wellbeing. Conclusions: Risks taken during daily life have mostly positive outcomes and a minority represent threats to safety, health, and wellbeing. Risk-taking and alcohol use in young adult’s daily lives is more likely to be driven by the desire to experience novel and exciting experiences than by rash action.
Probability manipulations can modulate but not reverse reflective inhibition-of-return effects
Authors: Cole Zachary Jay , Lintz Evan Nathaniel , Johnson Matthew
Published: January 2021

Inhibition of return (IOR) is a phenomenon of perceptual attention characterized by delayed shifts in attention toward previously cued target locations. In reflective (internally directed) attention studies, response times (RTs) to cued items are sometimes facilitated, but other times IOR-like effects are observed wherein RTs to probed items are slower when the items had been mentally attended (refreshed) earlier in the trial. Perceptual IOR is known to be modulated by the probability that target and cued locations match. If the same is true for reflective attention, it could account for why sometimes reflective attention can lead to facilitation and other times inhibition. In the current study, four experiments examined the potential facilitative or inhibitory influence of probe predictability in reflective attention. We first replicated the design and IOR like pattern of results originally reported by Johnson et al. (2013). In subsequent experiments, when the proportion of unrefreshed probes was increased, the IOR-like effect increased in magnitude. When the proportion of refreshed probes was increased, the IOR-like effect was eliminated, but there was no evidence for facilitation. Altogether, these results are consistent with perceptual IOR literature implicating underlying inhibitory and facilitative attentional processes that can either interact synergistically or nullify each other. Further work will be needed to fully understand the paradoxical effects of why reflective attention is sometimes inhibitory and other times facilitative, but the current results demonstrate that expectation can play a significant role in the size of the effect.
Особенности тактильного восприятия при расстройстве аутистического спектра и их связь с социально-коммуникативными нарушениями
Authors: Varlamov Anton , Skorokhodov Ivan V.
Published: January 2021

Расстройство аутистического спектра (РАС) — одно из наиболее распространенных нарушений развития, которое характеризуется выраженным социально-коммуникативным дефицитом и ограниченным, стереотипным репертуаром действий и интересов. Хотя аномалии сенсорного восприятия при аутизме упоминались ещё в пионерских работах, впервые описавших его клиническую картину, им традиционно уделялось меньшее внимание исследователей, несмотря на то что они отмечаются у подавляющего большинства людей с РАС. Особенный интерес представляют особенности тактильного восприятия в силу тесной связи тактильного восприятия с эмоциональным и коммуникативным развитием. Представлен краткий обзор исследований нарушений тактильного восприятия при РАС с обсуждением связи аномалий сенсорного восприятия с социально-коммуникативным дефицитом. Показана связь нарушений тактильного восприятия с выраженностью социальных и психоэмоциональных нарушений: высокая тактильная дефензивность приводит к негативному аффективному фону и препятствует социальной адаптации. Этот негативный эффект предположительно достигается за счет снижения социальных тактильных контактов, оказывающих важный социализирующий эффект, опосредованный стимуляцией эмоциональной С-тактильной системы механорецепции.Более полное понимание характера связи между сенсорным аспектом тактильных нарушений и социальными нарушениями при РАС может способствовать лучшему понимаю патогенетических механизмов РАС и прицельной разработке новых реабилитационных методик.
Toss and turn or toss and stop? A coin flip reduces the need for information in decision-making
Authors: Douneva Maria , Jaffe Mariela , Greifeneder Rainer
Published: January 2021

When deciding between two options, settling can be difficult if one option is superior on one dimension but inferior on another. To arrive at a conclusion, people may gather further information, thereby running the risk of prolonging or blocking the decision-making process or even making suboptimal decisions. Here, we suggest that random decision aids may prove fruitful by reducing the need for further information. Five experiments (total N = 997) examined how information need is influenced after making a preliminary decision between two op- tions and then receiving a suggestion from a random decision aid (a coin flip). Across studies, coin participants are less likely to request additional information (Study 1 and two follow-up studies, combined p = .021) and indicate a lower need for additional information (Study 2, p = .023, and Study 3, p = .001) compared to a control condition without a coin flip. Interestingly, participants do not necessarily adhere to the coin but stick to their preliminary decision as much as or even more than the control group, suggesting that the decision aid does not determine the decision outcome. This is true for hypothetical decisions between changing versus maintaining the status quo without an objectively correct solution (Studies 1, 1b, and 1c), for a decision between two options with an objectively correct solution (Study 2), and for a real monetary decision without an objectively correct solution (Study 3). Random decision aids may thus help to avoid decision blocks or the collection of too much information.
Building social cohesion through intergroup contact: Evaluation of a large-scale intervention to improve intergroup relations among adolescents
Authors: Reimer Nils Karl , Love Angelika , Wölfer Ralf , Hewstone Miles
Published: January 2021

Past research has found intergroup contact to be a promising intervention to reduce prejudice and has identified adolescence as the developmental period during which intergroup contact is most effective. Few studies, however, have tested whether contact-based interventions can be scaled up to improve intergroup relations at a large scale. The present research evaluated whether and when the National Citizen Service, a large-scale contact-based intervention reaching one in six 15- to 17-year-olds in England and Northern Ireland, builds social cohesion among adolescents from different ethnic backgrounds. In a diverse sample of adolescents (N = 2,099; M = 16.37, age range: 15–17 years; 58% female), this study used a pretest–posttest design with a double pretest to assess the intervention’s effectiveness. Controlling for test–retest effects, this study found evidence that the intervention decreased intergroup anxiety and increased outgroup perspective-taking—but not that it affected intergroup attitudes, intergroup trust, or perceptions of relative (dis )advantage. These (small) effects were greater for adolescents who had experienced less positive contact before participating and who talked more about group differences while participating. These findings suggest that the intervention might not immediately improve intergroup relations—but that it has the potential to prepare adolescents, especially those with less positive contact experiences before the intervention, for more positive intergroup interactions in the future.
Assessing social sustainability in the gig economy
Authors: Loganathan Muralidharan
Published: January 2021

Sustainable Development Goal 8 to “Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all” necessitates country level measures across the world. We take forward a comparative analysis of India’s SDG 8 indicator list with both the UN and ILO measurements. We note inadequate measurements on social-protection and rights for non-standard forms of employment including gig work, that are intermediated by ICT platforms. From our analysis we identify some levers to broaden the current indicator measurements to include these non-standard workers as well, to improve social sustainability.
Escaping the interpersonal power game: Online shopping in China
Authors: Tian Xiaoli
Published: January 2021

The increasing popularity of online shopping is now a global phenomenon, and China has become the largest internet market in the world. The reasons behind this preference for online shopping are examined in this study through 63 in-depth interviews and 5 years of virtual ethnography of a major online shopping website in China called Taobao.com. Chinese customers prefer Taobao not only because of price and convenience, but also because they enjoy the interactional process, during which they obtain more information, feel less pressured to put on a status performance in comparison to physical stores, and pay less affective labor. Chinese customers tend to believe that interaction with sales clerks in physical shops is a burden, and try to avoid this form of contact. This is related to the fact that consensus on status hierarchy is still yet to be established in a society that is undergoing rapid transition. Consequently, online shopping entails social interaction that attributes more power, autonomy and freedom to customers than otherwise possible in brick-and-mortar shopping. This study shows how both the online interactional environments afforded by technology and the broader social contexts (the service quality and related aspects of status competition among different social groups in contemporary China) affect interpersonal interaction.

The Impact of Introducing a Low Traffic Neighbourhood on Street Crime, in Waltham Forest, London
Authors: Goodman Anna , Aldred Rachel
Published: January 2021

Using police data, 2012-2019, we examine the impact on street crime of introducing low traffic neighbourhoods in Waltham Forest, London. Overall, the introduction of a low traffic neighbourhood was associated with a 10% decrease in total street crime (95% confidence interval 7% to 13%), and this effect increased with a longer duration since implementation (18% decrease after 3 years). An even larger reduction was observed for violence and sexual offences, the most serious subcategory of crime. The only subcategory of crime that increased significantly was bicycle theft, plausibly largely reflecting increased cycling levels. There was no indication of displacement of any crime subcategory into adjacent areas.

Does Disagreement Facilitate Informed Trading?
Authors: Cookson J. Anthony , Fos Vyacheslav , Niessner Marina
Published: January 2021

Using high-frequency disagreement data from the investor social network StockTwits, we find that greater investor disagreement facilitates informed trading by activists and short sellers. These findings are unexplained by sentiment, news and retail order flow, and they remain when we measure disagreement overnight, which alleviates concern that disagreement and informed trading respond to a common shock. When short selling is costly, the facilitating effect of disagreement on trading is dampened for informed buyers but is amplified for sellers. These findings suggest that informed traders respond meaningfully to valuation changes induced by disagreement.
Immediate Context, Life Experiences, and Perception: How do rural migrants in urban China perceive an unfair policy?
Authors: Tian Xiaoli
Published: January 2021

This article examines how rural migrants in China perceive a policy that deprives their children of the opportunity for a high school or college education. In-depth interviews with migrant families in Shanghai reveal that many remain unconvinced that the future of their children is strongly affected by this policy. Rather, they devalue the importance of formal education and emphasize individual effort and alternative pathways to success. By drawing on theories of cognition and the sociology of understanding, I argue that their perceptions of this policy are formed through three processes of validation: recognition of certain views by authorities such as school teachers, social workers, and the media; corroboration with the daily experiences of living in a modern city; and resonance with past experience. This study asserts the importance of immediate context and overall everyday life experiences in shaping perception toward policies. This case also provides insight as to how structural oppression that situates certain individuals in disadvantaged positions is subtly achieved through mechanisms at the micro-level.
A Critical Intervention for Urban Sociology
Authors: Korver-Glenn Elizabeth , Dantzler Prentiss , Howell Junia
Published: January 2021

U.S. urban sociology continues to be dominated by the Chicago School’s theories and methodological approaches. While yielding valuable insight regarding the importance of place, this body of work reproduces racism through explicit and implicit appeals to White-centered sensibility and desirability. In this chapter, we examine two specific Chicago School-inspired theories and related empirical work—spatial assimilation and place stratification. We draw from Du Boisian, racial capitalism, and other critical perspectives to illuminate the racial logics buoying this research. Where urban sociology underscores linear progression towards or digression from Whiteness, we emphasize urban heterogeneity and the intentional, non-linear or cyclical production of urban communities. Further, we argue that urban sociology must reckon with the racist roots of some of its most popular theories and methods, and recommend that future work explicitly center the mutually constitutive racism-capitalism-urbanization processes that have long shaped cities in the U.S. and around the world.

Food, Technology and Translocal Transformations of Taste: Industrial and Processed Food in Yucatán
Authors: Ayora-Díaz Steffan Igor
Published: January 2021

Translocality as originally used by Arjun Appadurai was an evocative concept that appealed immediately to anthropologists and others who study global-local connections. Its use has been widely adopted in religious studies, music studies, migration studies and food studies, but it has continued to be rather undefined, which makes it difficult to apply to local data. Here, from the study of local food and gastronomy in the Mexican state of Yucatán, I investigate how translocality can help us look at the global in the local and the local in the global. I propose that when it comes to studying food and gastronomy in the Yucatán, translocality can help us understand the ways in which industrialization, which became both a production model and a way of life in the United States and Europe at the end of the nineteenth century, rapidly extended to food everywhere, and Yucatecans fondly took to the consumption of industrially produced and processed foods, incorporating them into the local gastronomy. The results, in terms of taste, have been extensive but are not particular to the Yucatán, since food and gastronomy everywhere have been impacted in similar ways. However, when we analyze the changes in local dishes and preparations, we can see how ubiquitous industrialized food has become and how it has affected the particular configurations of ingredients in Yucatecan cuisine.
Potato plants transformed with the Arabidopsis EF-Tu receptor (EFR) show restricted pathogen colonization and enhanced bacterial wilt resistance under conditions resembling natural field infections

Published: January 2021

Potato is considered a staple food in the world and its production is limited by the presence of bacterial wilt (bw) disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum. Host resistance is the most sustainable and cost-effective strategy to manage bw, although resistant commercial potato cultivars are not yet available. Our group incorporated the efr receptor of Arabidopsis thaliana (atefr), which recognizes the elongation factor Tu, preserved in bacteria, triggering an immune response. atefr was tested in two genetic backgrounds: a susceptible commercial cultivar (inia Iporá) and a breeding clone with partial resistance introgressed from Solanum commersonii. In this work, the effect of the atefr receptor on bw resistance was evaluated for the first time, using conditions resembling natural field infection. In addition, the colonization patterns of wild-type and transgenic lines were compared by using luminescent and fluorescent R. solanacearum reporter strains. Both approaches showed a delay and a decrease in the severity of wilting symptoms in the atefr-transformed genotypes. Differential colonization patterns were observed, revealing a higher bacterial development in the non-transformed plants. This atefr effect seems more pronounced in the interspecific breeding line, possibly leading to a more effective activation of the plant immune system.

Долголетие – сложный социально-биологический феномен, при котором человек достигает возраста, значительно превышающего средний популяционный показатель. Вероятность достижения долголетия зависит от совокупности экзогенных и эндогенных факторов. На молекулярно-генетическом уровне характер их взаимодействия определяют гены ферментов метаболизма кислорода и ксенобиотиков, выполняющих функцию защиты организма от токсичных действий внешних агентов. Одним из таких генов является ген параоксоназы 1. Аллели полиморфного маркера rs662 (192Q>R) гена PON1 ассоциированы с активностью фермента и развитием сложно-наследуемых заболеваний, ограничивающих продолжительность жизни. С целью поиска ассоциаций полиморфного маркера rs662 гена PON1 с долголетием в этнической группе башкир проведен сравнительный анализ частот аллелей и генотипов в разных возрастных группах; в общей группе выполнен поиск возрастной динамики частот генотипов с помощью регрессионного анализа. В этнической группе башкир аллели PON1*Q, PON1*R и генотипы PON1*Q/Q, PON1*Q/R, PON1*R/R обнаружены с частотами 69.96, 30.04, 48.7, 42.51, 5.76% соответственно. Полиморфный маркер rs662 гена PON1 оказался ассоциирован с возрастом: шанс достичь долголетия выше у носителей гетерозиготного генотипа PON1*Q/R (55-100 лет, OR=1.022, P=0.043).
Aesthetic Expressions of Queer Kinship in Children’s Drawings
Authors: Dyer Hannah , Sinclair-Palm Julia , Joynt Chase , Yeo Miranda , Tait Calla
Published: January 2021

This article describes and discusses a transdisciplinary research project that archives children’s drawings of their lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer + (LGBTQ+) family structures. Children with LGBTQ+ parents from Ontario, Canada, were interviewed and asked to draw a portrait of their family. The drawings and related interviews have provided empirical data with which to generate theory about their subjective realities. Analysis rests in two locations: the act of a child drawing and the adult’s collective witnessing of the drawings. In asking what new forms of kinship can be symbolically elaborated in their drawings, we have worked with the children to cultivate representations that re-figure notions of family so that a multiplicity of attachments and forms of cohabitation are better understood. Our analysis employs affect theory, psychoanalysis, and arts-based research methods, with emphasis on the socio-political significance of aesthetic expression.
Introduction
Authors: Cummings Ronald , Cranston-Reimer Sharlee
Published: January 2021

This discussion offers a reflection on some of the shifts and developments in the field of queer studies in Canada since the turn of the century. It situates these developments against, and in relation to, a longer history of queer politics in Canada while also emphasizing key moments and critical turns. Also examined here are the ways in which Indigenous studies, decolonial critiques, diaspora studies, and critical race studies have offered key interventions and heralded new horizons within the field. In thinking about these interventions and intersections, we frame our account through an emphasis on returns and revisions rather than a discourse of progress, which is what typically defines Canadian state narratives.

У статті сучасний танець визначено як ефективний засіб здоров’язбереження дітей та молоді в освітньому процесі, який значною мірою сприяє формуванню фізичного здоров’я. В статті розкрито характерні особливості сучасного танцю, які впливають на розвиток таких фізичних якостей, як: гнучкість, спритність, швидкість, витривалість, сила, від рівня сформованості яких залежить технічна та виконавська майстерність танцюриста. Для діагностування рівня сформованості фізичного здоров’я молодших підлітків, які займаються сучасними танцями, використовувалась оцінка рівня соматичного здоров’я школярів 7-16 років (Круцевич Т. Ю., Апанасенко Г. Л., 1999). У роботі представлено аналіз результатів опрацювання даних, отриманих в результаті формувального експерименту, який дав змогу встановити ефективність упровадження в освітній процес авторської методики навчання сучасного танцю молодших підлітків в закладах позашкільної освіти.
ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICABILITY OF PHYSICAL MODELS TO DESCRIBE DENSIFICATION OF LITHIUM FERRITE COMPACTS DURING SINTERING IN THE FIELD OF INTENSE ELECTRON BEAM
Authors:   Tomsk Polytechnic University, Tomsk, Russia, Surzhikov A.P.
Published: January 2021

The paper analyzes the possibility of describing the accelerated sintering of lithium-titanium compacts under high-power radiation effects in terms of classical physical models developed by Kuczynski and Johnson based on the kinetic analysis of ferrite compact densification. LiTi ferrites synthesized by ceramic technology in laboratory conditions were investigated. The first portion of the compacts was sintered in air in thermal ovens at 900–1100°C for 30 minutes at a heating rate of 900 °C/min. The second portion of the compacts was sintered in a similar mode but using a radiation-thermal method: the exposure to pulsed electron beam with energy of 1.5–2.0 MeV using the ILU-6 accelerator. The geometrical dimensions of the compacts were measured before and after sintering to determine shrinkage. Mathematical approximation of the experimental shrinkage data showed the discrepancy of both models to describe sintering of LiTi ferrite samples both under thermal sintering conditions and radiationthermal effect.
INVESTIGATION OF OPTICAL AND ELECTROPHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPOSITE FILMS NIO/PEDOT:PSS

This work presents the results of a study of the morphological, optical, and electrophysical parameters of Nickel Oxide/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (NiO/PEDOT:PSS) composite films. It is shown that an increase in the speed of rotation of the substrate leads to a decrease in the surface roughness of NiO films. As the surface roughness of the Nickel oxide decreases, the roughness of the PEDOT:PSS film also decreases. Increasing the speed of rotation of the substrate leads to a decrease in the optical density of the absorption spectra of NiO films, as well of composite films NiO/PEDOT:PSS. It was found that changes in the morphology of NiO/PEDOT:PSS composite films contribute to the rapid transport of injected holes to the external electrode and reduce the probability of reverse recombination.

Dalam situasi Pandemi Covid-19 ini, Negara dan Masyarakat meletakkan harapan besar kepada Aparatur Negara yang berkaitan dengan Pencegahan Penyebaran Covid-19, khususnya TNI dan POLRI, apalagi secara tegas disebutkan dalam Peraturan Pemerintah Republik Indonesia Nomor 21 Tahun 2020 Tentang Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar Dalam Rangka Percepatan Penanganan Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) dan Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Republik Indonesia Nomor 9 Tahun 2020 Tentang Pedoman Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar, dalam Rangka Percepatan Penanganan Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19). Tentu saja meskipun kedua institusi tersebut sudah tepat dan sangat strategis, namun Negara dan Masyarakaat tidak bisa menggantungkan sepenuhnya kepada kedua Instansi yang dibantu oleh aparatur lainnya, karena jumlah aparatur sangat terbatas.            Masyarakat mempunyai potensi besar untuk mengelola sendiri Sistem Keamanan Lingkungannya dengan Poskamlingnya, yang beberapa dekade yang lalu pernah menjadi ikon Pemeliharaan Kamtibmas, oleh karenanya Pemerintah dan Masyarakat perlu menghidupkan kembali Poskamling yang di dalamnya ada Siskamling. Dengan mendisain peran dan fungsi siskamling yang prinsipnya berbasis masyarakat, yaitu yang awalnya untuk menjaga keamanan kampung di fungsikan untuk mencegah penularan melalui patroli keliling kampung saling mengingatkan antara lain membiasakan cuci tangan, sosial distanching,  Agar dengan dihidupkan kembali Siskamling, penyebaran Covid-19 bisa ditekan, berkurang, atau bahkan bisa hilang atau tidak  mewabah, dan masyarakat bisa hidup normal kembali, tidak dicekam wabah Covid-19.

Policing and fake news have been view has a linier relation, particularly by the practice of conventional policing that focus on law enforcement activities. Fake news are negative modes in nature that must be handled in such away so will not triger society disorders or influence people to engage in criminal behaviours. By utilizing conseptual application method, this paper analyses fake news as a meme – holon-parton defined in creative practice theory. Therefore it is part of a field that could make fake news become popular memes as there are competition in the field to gain fake news popularity which also depends upon the purpose and goals of creating them. The popularities give advantages for fake news creators in term of capital and influence agen’s habitus. Overall, the presence of fake news and its popularities affect agents in the field of social system. These fake news (negativity) impacts are the police domain to take necessaries actions in the form of policing choices so fake news cycles to become popular can be controlled.
Functional Modeling and General Collective Intelligence as the Basis for Pervasive Healthcare
Authors: Williams Andy E
Published: January 2021

General Collective Intelligence has the potential to combine individuals into a single collective collective intelligence with general problem-solving ability (intelligence) that might be exponentially greater than that of any individual. In every software domain, including health and wellness, General Collective Intelligence and functional modeling have the potential to enable the definition of pervasive cognitive computing applications and platforms. In such cognitive apps, intelligent agents might provide services to the user that optimize their outcomes by independently executing functional operations in each software domain on whatever software best implements those operations, and independently incorporating any possible data available to the user in the best way available. And at the same time in such cognitive computing platforms, a GCI might orchestrate the process of gathering data from all such individual uses in order to optimize collective outcomes such as significantly increasing healthcare and wellness. And these models of individual and collective cognition suggest that such optimization might not be reliably achievable otherwise. For both of these cognitive computing approaches functional modeling is required to provide a universal mechanism for representing data and processes. Therefore, to achieve significantly increased healthcare and wellness outcomes both functional modeling and GCI might be required. Functional modeling has the potential to overcome the lack of consistency in type and format of data gathered and the lack of a mechanism for universally comparing and combining that data. This paper explores why functional modeling might not only be of critical importance to pervasive healthcare, but why it also might be critical to significantly improving capacity to diagnose and to make interventions.
Зародження українського бароко у контексті контрреформаційних впливів у Речі Посполитій середини XVI століття
Authors: Mynenko Jurij
Published: January 2021

Стаття досліджує питання походження стилю бароко в українській літературі. Наводяться твердження видатних українських медієвістів ХХ століття (Володимир Перетц, Михайло Возняк, Дмитро Чижевський,) і сучасності (Вікторія Назарук, Богдана Криса, Валерій Шевчук). На появу стилю бароко мали вплив як українська народна творчість, так і польське віршування, що з'явилося на українських землях після підпорядкування їх Польщі на Люблінському сеймі 1569 року. Важливе значення для розвитку українського бароко мали контрреформаційні зміни у тодішній Речі Посполитій. Саме 80-ми роками ХVІ століття варто датувати виникнення цього стилю в українській літературі невдовзі після його появи у польському письменстві (Чеслав Гернас). Першим бароковим віршем є геральдична поезія Герасима Смотрицького 1581 року на герб князя Острозького в Острозькій Біблії, що була першим повним виданням Святого Письма українською мовою. У поезії виразно виявляється вплив польських стемматів у тлумаченні символіки герба шляхтича. Ще одним прикладом раннього бароко є Хронологія Андрія Римші, що також була надрукована того ж року в острозькій друкарні. У цих творах поєднується ренесансний (невластивий середньовіччю) зміст і барокова форма.
