Difficulties in operating a self-propelled drilling rig when drilling geological exploration wells in the Far North conditions
Authors: Tatarinov D. M. , Egorov I. A. , Tretyakov T. M.
Published: December 2024

The article describes a method for eliminating the problem of freezing of the hydraulic system of the URB-2A2 drilling rig when drilling exploration wells in the freezing conditions of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). During the study, we analyzed the long-term experience of industrial companies engaged in drilling operations in Yakutia. In this regard, in the regions of the Far North, an important task is to develop innovative methods aimed at improving the working conditions of workers and the quality of technologies for protecting the hydraulic systems of drilling rigs operating in the harsh climate of the region.

As a measure to prevent and combat freezing of the hydraulic system, we propose insulating the hydraulic equipment of the drilling rig using heat-insulating materials. Based on the diagnostics and calculations, we were able to develop an effective way to solve the problem of freezing of the hydraulic system. This method does not require signiﬁcant changes in the existing equipment and does not entail large ﬁnancial costs. At the next stage, we will test the proposed method for solving the problem in the conditions of the Far North on the URB-2A2 self-propelled drilling rig.
Иоганн Себастьян Бах в музыкальном самосознании Роберта Шумана
Authors: Кюрегян Т.С.
Published: December 2024

«Ты должна полюбить во мне Баха», — писал Шуман Кларе Вик: так он видел главное в себе на 28-м году жизни. Совсем недолго занимаясь композицией с наставником (Г. Дорн) и эпизодически — самостоятельно по учебным руководствам (Г. Вебера, Ф. Марпурга, Л. Керубини), Шуман своими истинными учителями считал великих мастеров, из которых первый — И. С. Бах. Виртуозно овладев сложнейшей полифонической техникой (и особенно ценя свои фуги на B-A-C-H), Шуман по-настоящему воплотил почерпнутое им у Баха в своем особом мире скрытой полифонии, растворенной в романтической гармонии и фактуре — там, где Бах «не слышен», но задает особую высоту чувствования. Другой парадокс: глубокое убеждение композитора в том, что постороннее вмешательство в великую музыку есть «величайшее оскорбление» для искусства, публичный призыв Шумана оградить сочи нения классиков от современных обработок; и вдруг, в последний светлый год перед ментальной катастрофой — неудержимая потребность аранжировать И. С. Баха (!), создать фортепианное сопровождение к его сольным циклам для скрипки и для виолончели (что и было осуществлено). Отчего? Авторские объяснения не устраняют глубинных вопросов на уровне композиторского самосознания, задаваться ими правомерно, даже если они не могут иметь однозначных ответов.

“You must love Bach in me”, Schumann wrote to Clara Wieck: this was how he saw the most important thing in himself in the 28th year of his life. After studying composition for a very short time with a tutor (G. Dorn) and occasionally on his own with the help of handbooks (G. Weber, F. Marpurg and L. Cherubini), Schumann considered the great mas ters as his true teachers, the first of whom was Johann Sebastian Bach. Having mastered the most complex polyphonic techniques with virtuosity (he was particularly fond of his own B-A-C-H fugues), Schumann truly embodied what he had learned from Bach in his own special world of hidden polyphony, dissolved in Romantic harmony and texture — where Bach is “not heard” but sets a special height of feeling. On the other side a paradox: the composer’s deep conviction that external intervention in great music was “the greatest insult” to art; Schumann’s public appeal to protect classical works from modern arrangements; and suddenly, during the last good year before his catastrophic mental decline, he has an irre pressible need to arrange J. S. Bach (!), to create a piano accompaniment to his solo cycles for violin and cello (which was accomplished). Why? The author’s explanations do not eliminate profound questions at the level of the composer’s identity; it is legitimate to ask them, even if there are no clear answers.
Баховские хоралы в издании Шарля Гуно (1870): принципы отбора и комментарии
Authors: Твердовская Т.И.
Published: December 2024

В статье рассматривается публикация избранных хоралов И. С. Баха, предпринятая Шарлем Гуно, — Choix de Chorals de Jean Sébastien Bach, annotés par Ch. Gounod (Paris, Choudens Fils Edition, 1870). Из третьего издания собрания К. Ф. Э. Баха и И. Ф. Кирнбергера 371 vierstimmige Choralgesänge von Johann Sebastian Bach (Лейпциг, 1831) Гуно отбирает 152 хорала и снабжает их своими комментариями. Раскрываются обстоятельства и причины появления подобной публикации, дается характеристика подхода одного из виднейших французских композиторов к материалу, представляющему собой квинтэссенцию баховского наследия. Особо отмечаются прецеденты воплощения хорала в предшествующих публикации оперных творениях Гуно («Фауст», «Мирейль») — как продолжение традиции, заложенной В. А. Моцартом в «Волшебной флейте» и Дж. Мейербером в «Гугенотах». В развернутом Предуведомлении, блистательном с точки зрения литературного стиля, Гуно обозначает векторы постижения баховского наследия французской музыкальной культурой второй половины XIX в. Дидактическая направленность публикации во многом отражает и общеевропейскую тенденцию — постепенное «врастание» Баха в процесс профессионального формирования музыкантов независимо от их специальности, уровня оснащенности и принадлежности к национальной школе.

The article deals with Charles Gounod’s publication of selected chorales by Jo hann Sebastian Bach — Choix de Chorals de Jean Sébastien Bach, annotés par Ch. Gounod (Paris, Choudens Fils Edition, 1870). From the third edition of the collection of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and Johann Philipp Kirnberger’s 371 vierstimmige Choralgesänge von Jo hann Sebastian Bach (Leipzig, 1831), Gounod selected 152 chorales and provided them with his commentaries. The circumstances and reasons for the appearance of such a publication are revealed, and the approach of one of the most important French composers to material representing the quintessence of Bach’s legacy is described. The precedents of the chorale’s incarnation in Gounod’s operatic creations that preceded the publication (Faust, Mireille) are highlighted as a continuation of the tradition established by W. A. Mozart in Die Zauberflöte and G. Meyer beer in Les Huguenots. In a detailed and literarily brilliant Avertissement, Gounod outlines the vectors driving the understanding of Bach’s legacy by French musical culture in the second half of the 19th century. The didactic orientation of the publication also reflects in many ways a pan-Europe an trend — the gradual “ingrowth” of Bach into the process of professional training of musi cians, regardless of their specialization, level of sophistication and affiliation to a national school.
Школа Н.А. Римского-Корсакова: курс специальной теории в учебных работах А. К. Глазунова
Authors: Янкус А.И.
Published: December 2024

Материалом для настоящей статьи явились неопубликованные нотные рукописи — учебные работы А. К. Глазунова, которые хранятся в фонде 187 Отдела рукописей Российской национальной библиотеки и в Научной музыкальной библиотеке Санкт-Петербургской государственной консерватории имени Н. А. Римского Корсакова. Их основной корпус появился в период обучения Глазунова у Н. А. Римского-Корсакова (декабрь 1879 — весна 1881 г.). Автографы Глазунова предстают отражением системы обучения Римского-Корсакова, ставшего впоследствии главой петербургской композиторской школы. Комплект учебных рукописей, с одной стороны, содержит упражнения, типичные для консерваторского курса специальной теории, с другой — демонстрирует стремительный профессиональный рост Глазунова-композитора (вместо традиционных трех лет освоения гармонии, контрапункта и фуги обучение длилось немногим более трех семестров). Изучение рукописных материалов Глазунова было направлено на решение таких задач, как определение круга материалов, относящихся к учебным работам по разным предметам, выявление методических принципов и специфики выполняемых заданий, наконец, уточнение датировки некоторых автографов.

The material for this article consists of unpublished manuscripts — student works of A. K. Glazunov preserved in the Collection No. 187 of the Manuscripts Department of the Russian National Library and in the Scientific Music Library of the Saint Petersburg Rim sky-Korsakov State Conservatory. They were mainly written during Glazunov’s studies with N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov (December 1879 — spring 1881). Glazunov’s autographs reflect the educational system of Rimsky-Korsakov, who later became the head of the Saint Petersburg School of Composition. Glazunov’s collection of student manuscripts contains exercises typi cal of the conservatoire curriculum in special theory. At the same time, it illustrates the rapid professional development of the young composer. Unlike the conventional three-year period for mastering harmony, counterpoint and fugue, Glazunov’s training lasted just over three semesters. It seems that the completion of these tasks constituted an exceptional professional training, guided by Rimsky-Korsakov’s mentorship.
Баховская фуга cis-moll (ХТК I) в метротектонических планах Г. Э. Конюса
Authors: Гервер Л.Л.
Published: December 2024

Метротектонический метод Георгия Эдуардовича Конюса известен в основном по его теоретическим трудам. Однако не меньшее значение имеет до настоящего времени не изученная практическая часть научного наследия ученого, представленная обширной коллекцией планов (названных по аналогии с архитектурны ми планами). Планы — изобретения Конюса, позволяющие осуществить подробную фиксацию музыкальной формы при помощи чисел, графических фигур, а в некоторых случаях и особым образом распределенного нотного текста. Избрав для изучения кол лекцию планов 48 фуг ХТК Баха, автор настоящей статьи предлагает систематизацию планов, показывая различие аналитических подходов в каждом из трех выявленных типов. Материалом статьи послужили восемь планов баховской фуги cis I: наличие среди них неправильного (по оценке Конюса) и гарантированно правильного (опубликованного Конюсом) вариантов анализа дало возможность посредством их детального сравнения в какой-то мере приблизиться к пониманию механизмов метротектонического анализа, прояснив, в частности, роль «точек рассечения» музыкального целого.

The metrotechtonic method of Georgi Eduardovich Conus is known mainly from his theoretical works. However, the hitherto unexplored practical part of his scientific legacy, represented by an extensive collection of plans (named in analogy to architectural plans), is no less important. Plans are Conus’s inventions that allow the detailed fixation of musical form by means of numbers, graphic figures and, in some cases, specially distributed musical notation. Having chosen to study a collection of plans for 48 fugues from Bach’s Wohl Temperiertes Klavier, the author of this article proposes a systematisation of the plans, showing the different analytical approaches in each of the three types identified. The material for this article consists of eight plans of Bach’s Fugue in C sharp minor I: thanks to the presence among them of incorrect (according to Conus’s assessment) and guaranteed correct (published by Conus) variants of analysis, their detailed comparison has made it possible to come a little closer to understanding the mechanisms of metrotechtonic analysis, clarifying in particular the role of the “incision points” of the musical whole.
Проблемы исполнения произведений И. С. Баха в письмах Г. Рамина к М. Л. Старокадомскому
Authors: Кириллина Л.В.
Published: December 2024

Советский органист и композитор Михаил Леонидович Старокадомский (1901–1954) много лет дружил с выдающимся немецким органистом и дирижером Гюнтером Раминым (1898–1956). они познакомились в 1927 г. во время зарубежной стажировки Старокадомского, и затем в течение ряда лет переписывались. Рамин был учителем Старокадомского, однако общался с ним практически на равных. Письма Рамина, хранящиеся в Москве, в архиве Старокадомского в РГАЛИ, затрагивают важные вопросы исполнения музыки И. С. Баха, прежде всего, органных хоральных прелюдий и «Искусства фуги». Большое письмо от 15 мая 1928 г. публикуется здесь в полном виде впервые, включая факсимиле. контакты двух музыкантов в силу внешних причин прервались в конце 1930-х гг., и тогда же Старокадомский завершил свою карьеру концертирующего органиста. однако искусство Рамина, и особенно, его интерпретации произведений Баха, оказали заметное воздействие на советских музы кантов в 1950-х гг., особенно после гастролей Рамина в Ленинграде и Москве в 1954 гг., вскоре после смерти Старокадомского. некоторые проблемы исполнения произведений Баха, затронутые в письмах Рамина к Старокадомскому, остаются актуальными и в наше время — особенно это касается тембровой реализации «Искусства фуги» и «музыкального приношения».

The Soviet organist and composer Mikhail Leonidovich Starokadomsky (1901 1954) was a long-time friend of the outstanding German organist and conductor Günther Ramin (1898–1956). They met in 1927 during Starokadomsky’s internship in Germany and corresponded for several years thereafter. Ramin was Starokadomsky’s teacher, but treated him as a respected colleague and family friend. Ramin’s letters, preserved in Starokadomsky’s archive at the Russian State Archive of Music in Moscow, touch on important questions re garding the performance of Johann Sebastian Bach’s music, especially the organ chorale pre ludes and The Art of the Fugue. The long letter of 15 May 1928 is published here for the first time in its entirety, including facsimiles. Contacts between the two musicians broke off in the late 1930s for external reasons, at which time Starokadomsky ended his career as a con cert organist. However, Ramin’s art, and especially his interpretations of Bach’s works, had a noticeable influence on Soviet musicians in the 1950s, especially after Ramin’s tour of Le ningrad and Moscow in 1954, shortly after Starokadomsky’s death. Some of the problems of performing Bach’s works raised in Ramin’s letters to Starokadomsky are still relevant today — especially the timbral implementation of The Art of the Fugue and The Musical Offering.
The Substantial Difference Between USA and EU Welfare
Authors: Vella Maria
Published: December 2024

This comparative study explores the substantial differences in nonprofit organizations (NPOs) between the United States and Europe, examining their historical origins, operational frameworks, and roles within distinct welfare models. By analyzing the socio-economic contexts of liberal, corporatist-conservative, and social-democratic welfare systems, the research highlights how cultural, political, and economic factors shape the development and functioning of NPOs in different regions. The study reveals contrasting approaches to nonprofit sustainability, tax policies, and social service provision, with the U.S. model emphasizing market-driven efficiency and individual responsibility, while European models prioritize universal access, solidarity, and collaborative welfare provision. Through a comprehensive examination of organizational structures, funding mechanisms, and societal contributions, the research illuminates the unique characteristics of nonprofit sectors in these regions and proposes future research directions for measuring their economic and social impact.
The phenomenon of private military corporations in the context of globalization
Authors: Kurnicki Leszek Robert
Published: December 2024

The phenomenon of private military companies (PMCs) is a rather controversial and ambiguous topic. Over the past thirty years, PMCs have played an increasingly important role in local wars and regional conflicts. This article deals with the causes of the emergence of PMCs, analyses their characteristics and gives legal assessments. Private military companies are just as inevitable a consequence of globalization as transnational corporations. In this regard, according to the author's assessment, PMCs will not only not cease to exist for a long time, but, on the contrary, will spread in the future. At the same time, the activities of PMCs, to the maximum extent possible, should be within the legal framework.
Unveiling Cold War Dynamics in Latin America: the Camelot Project
Authors: Semboloni Lara , Toledo Marcella Aline
Published: December 2024

This article explores the historical context and implications of a controversial U.S. initiative during the Cold War aimed at analyzing and preventing revolutions and uprisings in less developed regions, particularly in Latin America. Emerging in the aftermath of the Cuban Revolution, the Camelot Project was driven by concerns about the spread of leftist movements in the region. It was developed in 1964 and it sought to understand and anticipate social changes through empirical research, with a focus on behavioral science and psychology. However, its implementation raised accusations of interference and espionage, leading to tensions between the U.S. and Chile, culminating in its rejection by the Chilean government and a Congressional investigation. The article analyzes the project's objectives and methodology and discusses the implications of its termination in 1965, its impact on perceptions of U.S. foreign policy in Latin America, and its role in shaping authoritarian responses to perceived communist threats in the region. The Camelot Project served as a poignant chapter in the political and social history of Latin America, illustrating the intricate interplay between global geopolitical interests and the aspirations for self-determination of individual nations in the region.

The overall result indicated that intercropping significantly reduced the population of these insect pests compared to sole tomato. The most effective population reduction was recorded on tomato – onion (63.13%, 56.46%, and 25% in Aphids, Whiteflies and thrips respectively) next to karate (83.51, 73.74, and 66.04%) and tobacco leaf extract (77.31, 71.51, 69.34 in Aphids, Whiteflies and thrips respectively). The companion crops harbored the predators and parasitoids of diverse species predominantly. Tomato onion intercropping led the best performances in guarding tomato crop from major insect pests compared to other companion crops. Therefore, tomato onion intercrops can be used as the first options in boosting tomato production as an alternative to karate and tobacco leaf extract in sap-sucking insect pests’ management. Further study on the detailed morphological and molecular-based parasitoid species identification and their ecological host ranges are of utmost importance in the sustainable IPM strategies in tomato.
Revealing and Mitigating Crossover-Driven Side Reactions in Ferrocyanide-Based Redox Flow Batteries
Authors: Latchem Emma , Kress Thomas , de h-Óra Muireann , Wang Anqi , Song Qilei , Forse Alexander C
Published: December 2024

There is an urgent need for new energy storage solutions that will support the decarbonization of the electricity grid. Aqueous organic redox flow batteries are low-cost, long-duration energy storage devices that are in the process of being commercialized for this application; however, their operational lifetime is limited by electrolyte decomposition and crossover. These degradation processes are generally studied separately, so the relationship between the two is poorly understood. Previously, it had been assumed that the main contribution to battery capacity fade was electrochemical degradation of the electrolytes. Using the on-line 1H NMR crossover characterization method we developed previously, we reveal the first evidence for crossover-driven side reactions in redox flow batteries. If the impact of these side reactions is not considered, it will lead to an underestimation of crossover and its impacts on battery lifetime. We further introduce simple ‘simulated-crossover’ experiments to identify anolyte-catholyte combinations where these processes are occurring. Using these simulated-crossover experiments, we find that crossover-driven side reactions can be mitigated by avoiding the use of anolytes with hydroxyl functional groups when using ferrocyanide electrolytes. These insights should be used to assist the design of new anolytes and catholytes, which will facilitate the development of longer-lasting redox flow batteries.
Emotion Regulation and Forgiveness among Female Inmates
Authors: Sukmasari Dwike Samata , Soetikno Naomi
Published: December 2024

Female prisoners face various challenges during detention, including the loss of their roles as mothers, social isolation, and privacy restrictions. During detention, female prisoners may feel bored, fear violence, and have difficulty building trust. They need to engage in emotion regulation and forgiveness to maintain their mental health. Sometimes, female prisoners experience difficulties in emotion regulation. Previous research has indicated that difficulties in emotion regulation impact the forgiveness process. This study aims to examine the relationship between emotion regulation and forgiveness among female prisoners. The research method used is quantitative with a convenience sampling technique. A total of 190 female prisoners aged 18-65 years completed the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Short Form (DERS-SF) and Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS) questionnaires. Spearman Correlation Analysis yielded r = -.324 and p = .001 < .01. The results indicate a negative and significant relationship between difficulties in emotion regulation and forgiveness. This means that the stronger the difficulties in emotion regulation, the weaker the tendency toward forgiveness. This conclusion can also be interpreted to mean that there is a positive and significant relationship between emotion regulation and forgiveness. In other words, the stronger the ability in emotion regulation, the stronger the tendency toward forgiveness. The research findings are expected to provide important insights into the development of more effective interventions to support emotion regulation and forgiveness, as well as the social reintegration process of female prisoners. Additionally, these findings can serve as a foundation for the development of further research ideas to explore the factors that influence emotion regulation and forgiveness.

Influencing Factors of Museum Self-Improvement in China: A Multiple Linear Regression Analysis
Authors: Gu Zhenjing , Meng Da , Yang Hui , Liu Xiaofei
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this research is to explore the factors influencing the self-improvement process of museums in China and to conduct empirical analyses based on multiple linear regression models. As core institutions for inheriting and displaying cultural heritage and enhancing public cultural literacy, museums’ self-improvement is of great significance in promoting cultural development, optimizing the supply of public cultural services, and enhancing social influence. This paper constructs a multiple linear regression model for the influencing factors of museum self-improvement by integrating several key variables, including emerging cultural and museum business (EF), institutional reform (SR), research and innovation level (RIL), management level (ML), and the museum cultural and creative industry (MCCI). The study employs scientific methods such as literature review, data collection, and data analysis to thoroughly explore the internal logic of museum operations and development. Through multiple linear regression analyses, it quantifies the specific influence and relative importance of each factor on the level of museum self-improvement. The results indicate that the management level (ML) is the dominant factor among the variables studied, exerting the most significant influence on museum self-improvement. Based on these empirical findings, this paper provides an in-depth analysis of the specific factors affecting museum self-improvement in China, offering solid theoretical support and practical guidance for the sustainable development of museums.

Authors: Ortiz Maldonado Nicolasa
Published: December 2024

El objetivo del artículo es presentar el análisis realizado entorno al enfoque metodológico de la enseñanza de la expresión escrita de castellano a estudiantes del segundo ciclo, en dos escuelas oficiales de zonas vulnerables de Asunción. La investigación fue cualitativa, de tipo descriptivo y corte transversal. Se recolectaron datos mediante el análisis documental: planificación docente y producción escrita de estudiantes y la observación de clases. Los hallazgos fueron los siguientes: el enfoque metodológico predominante es el gramatical, con un énfasis en la corrección normativa y el análisis sintáctico, la planificación de las clases es poco desarrollado por los docentes, el proceso metodológico de los momentos didácticos de la escritura es poco favorable para el desarrollo de la competencia comunicativa, la evaluación se centra, principalmente, en el producto final. Se identificó en la mayoría de las aulas carencia de materiales didácticos diversificados que apoyen el aprendizaje, los docentes cumplen las etapas del desarrollo de una clase: inicio, desarrollo, cierre y utilizan el modelado como estrategia de enseñanza. Los resultados evidencian la necesidad de fortalecer la formación docente en enfoques metodológicos innovadores para el desarrollo de la competencia comunicativa. Asimismo, es recomendable la promoción de la planificación curricular y didáctica, la implementación de estrategias de enseñanza que favorezcan el proceso de escritura, la diversificación de las prácticas evaluativas que valoren proceso y producto final de la escritura y la dotación de recursos didácticos adecuados.
Horror motifs in E. Verkin’s novel “Snark Snark”
Authors: Kulikova D. L.
Published: December 2024

The article is dedicated to the modern Russian writer E. Verkin. His novel “Snark Snark” was analysed using the methods of a motif analysis and the elements of a comparative and mythological approach. Verkin’s work is examined from the point of view of its use of horror techniques and motifs. The article considers intertextual connections with precedent texts of Russian classical literature and works of horror (for example, the works of S. King). We identify the sources of the cinematografic allusions of the novel and highlight the references to classic horror films. The article studies the transformations of the horror chrontope, refractions of traditional horror characters and the inclusion of folklore components. We have established that the author uses both genuine folklore motifs and the folkloresque, i.e. imitation, narrative. The theme of sacrifice, popular in the horror genre, is analyzed, suggesting that in the novel “Snark Snark”, the theme of sacrifice is pushed to the periphery of the plot, encrypted in the intertextual code. The article proves that the writer uses horror genre clichés to create certain genre expectations, but often subverts them without leading the plot to a horror ending. Verkin deconstructs horror clichés, violates genre expectations, thus creating a distinctive fictional world.
Development of a Technique for Discrete-Logical Decision-Making in Medical Information Systems
Authors: Alexandrov Islam A. , Kuklin Vladimir Zh. , Chervyakov Leonid M. , Sheptunov Sergei A.
Published: December 2024

One of the urgent directions in solving medical diagnostic tasks is to develop new and improved decision support systems capable of efficiently processing polymodal data. Humans cannot always process large arrays of medical information and determine an accurate diagnosis in complex situations. Thus, improving the functioning of the industry requires implementing a variety of systems capable of supporting decision-making of one kind or another. The presented technique aims to steadily increase the level and speed, and demonstrate the feasibility of integrating non-classical logic into the structure of the decision-making system in medical research by using non-classical logic complexes. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that it achieves the necessary level of information criteria; in particular, it provides the required information quality, high reliability of the decision, its value, preserves the amount of information, and searches and decision-making take relatively small-time intervals. This paper presents an overview of various non-classical logics and, based on the analytical findings, delineates the optimal choice of logic for each stage in the development of a decision support system. The processing and feedforward structures for DSS are presented based on selected types of non-classical logic. The algorithms presented for solving decision-making problems are based on discrete-logic approximations of a priori and actual data, which are optimal or suboptimal, and they use information and value criteria. The abstraction of any problem situation relies on using means operating with frequency and comparative logic to provide logical approximations of the sought characteristics. The accuracy of the diagnostic decisions reached 97% when using the developments presented in this study. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2024-05-04-010 Full Text: PDF
Contextual Semantic Embeddings Based on Transformer Models for Arabic Biomedical Questions Classification
Authors: Ait Talghalit Ismail , Alami Hamza , El Alaoui Said Ouatik
Published: December 2024

Arabic biomedical question classification (ABQC) is a challenging task due to various reasons including, the specialized jargon expressed in Arabic language, complex semantics of Arabic vocabulary and the lack of specific datasets and corpora. When representing questions, only a few studies deal with ABQC by taking into account the word context. In this work, we propose a classification model designed for Arabic biomedical questions. We build vector representations capturing the contextual and semantic information of Arabic biomedical text, which presents numerous challenges, such as the derivational morphology of Arabic language, the specialized terminology of biomedical terms and the lack of capitalization in text. Our representation adapts the extensive knowledge encoded in BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) and other transformer models, to address the aforementioned challenges. Several experiments have been conducted on a dedicated Arabic biomedical dataset namely: MAQA, with well-known transformer models including BERT, AraBERT, BioBERT, RoBERTa, and DistilBERT fine-tuned for the classification task. Obtained results show that our method achieves remarkable performance with an accuracy of 93.31% and an F1-score of 93.35%. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2024-05-04-011 Full Text: PDF
Outlier Detection in VPN Authentication Logs for Corporate Computer Networks Access using CRISP-DM
Authors: Legowo Nilo , Bad Wilyu Mahendra
Published: December 2024

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) serves as a critical network access solution widely employed by corporations, enabling users to connect to company computer networks via a global infrastructure. Amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, heightened reliance on computer network access has increased the vulnerability to data breaches by unauthorized parties. This necessitates a proactive approach from companies to safeguard data integrity, particularly by identifying abnormal access patterns and timestamps. This study aims to develop a model for detecting anomalous activities within authentication log data obtained from VPN usage. The dataset comprises log entries from September to November 2022, totaling 36,807 records, selected via a systematic sampling approach. Two key attributes, namely user ID and access time, are analyzed to trace access patterns. Employing the CRISP-DM method ensures a structured and efficient research process. The selection of the k value in the K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN) method significantly impacts outlier detection and can be tailored to suit organizational requirements. By utilizing the K-Means algorithm for data clustering and K-NN for measuring inter-point distances, the study identifies outliers that warrant further investigation by the company. Integration of the proposed model into the company's big data platform facilitates real-time monitoring, enabling the security team to preemptively address potential threats and mitigate network access misuse. By enhancing awareness and responsiveness to information security risks, the model contributes to fortifying the company's cyber security posture amidst evolving digital landscapes. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2024-05-04-016 Full Text: PDF

The clinical applications and benefits of the use of a Robotic Exoskeleton for Rehabilitation (RER) in the elbow and hand are described because a RER is a high-quality alternative capable of restoring compromised functions and neurorehabilitation at the same time in post-stroke patients. Passive rehabilitation (PR) is usually applied in the early stages of post-stroke recovery. The responsibility of assisting Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) doctors and the patient with passive exercises is a robotic system (RS); while active rehabilitation (AR) is applied regularly in late stages, it is like PR and its implications but requires the strength and support of the person to perform the exercises voluntarily. The objective of the present study is to collect, synthesize, and report relevant scientific studies related to the implementation of exoskeleton systems for elbow-hand rehabilitation. Various scientific literature on the topic was reviewed in the main biomedical databases using the population, intervention, comparison, results, and context (PICOC) criteria. This study presents the potential and describes a comprehensive and updated vision of the consequences and improvements obtained with the use of the RER and its advances. In conclusion, the usefulness and importance of a RER in various applied clinical practices have found numerous advantages, such as a better evaluation of spasticity, neuromotor recuperation, promoting neuroplasticity, and much more, which is of global relevance since this study gives us a greater understanding of the potential of these new perspectives to improve the rehabilitation of compromised functions in post-stroke cases with the use of RER. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2024-05-04-020 Full Text: PDF

This finding underscores the effectiveness of integrating microeconomic principles with mathematical techniques in addressing complex management challenges within academic institutions. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2024-05-04-09 Full Text: PDF
DISCIPLINARY CINEMA STUDIES AND PROFESSIONAL CINEMA EDUCATION
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Schtein Sergey Yu.
Published: December 2024

For the first time in disciplinary cinema studies, the issues of professional cinematographic education are raised in direct connection with the issues of the real and potential quality of cinema knowledge itself. As a result of the implemented construction, three fundamentally different types of institutions related to professional film education are derived. Taking into account the variable basis of the educational process, which may be currently absent, but hypothetically possible, disciplinary cinema knowledge or existing diverse conceptual concepts, six principal constant variants of a hypothetically possible deployment of professional film education are fixed. The results obtained have both theoretical and practical significance for film researchers and film educators.

Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Shik Ida A.
Published: December 2024

In the article, the researcher analyzed the works of Leningrad porcelain artist Nina Slavina of the late 1950s – 1960s. This period was so important in her artistic biography. In her works, she developed aesthetic principles and themes relevant to the “modern style” in the decorative arts. Nina Slavina turned to abstract and ornamental compositions, as well as landscapes, still lifes, and flower paintings. The heritage of Russian folk art was especially significant for the young artist. She successfully used both overglaze and polychrome underglaze decoration and printing technic as well. During this period, Nina Slavina also began to work as a shape designer. She created vase and service set forms endowed with classical clarity and, at the same time, spirituality, and harmony. The principles of shape design and porcelain decorating mastered during this period would remain relevant for the further evolution of the author. Nina Slavina presented her works at many exhibitions and received favorable reviews in the press.
NARRATOLOGICAL ALGORITHM IN EXHIBITION NARRATIVE ANALYSIS SCHEMES
Authors: Lichagina Anastasia P.
Published: December 2024

The existence of numerous interpretations of the term “narrative”, including in the context of exhibition activities, restricts the possibilities of understanding and comparing narrative aspects of various visual art exhibitions. One possible approach to the analysis of exhibition narratives is the use of narratological tools, originally developed for the study of literary works. The article examines a visual art exhibition as a conventional narrative text, forms an idea of narratological categories adapted to the exhibition context (such as minimal history, events and characters), and, taking into account the specifics of the form-content integrity of the exhibition, offers a general definition of the exhibition narrative. In conclusion, the narrative aspects of real exhibitions of classical and contemporary art are analyzed based on the algorithm obtained. Expanding the possibilities for analyzing exhibition narratives beyond narratological approaches will be an area for further research.
“PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY OF FASHION” BY EDMUND BERGLER: EXPERIENCE OF CONTEXTUAL READING
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Lebedeva Olga M.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to one of the early attempts to conceptualize fashion made in the field of psychoanalysis, which was presented in the book of the American psychoanalyst Edmund Bergler “Fashion and the Unconscious” (1953). Attained high professional prestige in the mid-twentieth century, Bergler subsequently has become one of the marginalized figures in the history of the psychoanalytic movement, and his research on fashion has undergone several criticisms. The article deals with introducing Bergler’s work into the up-to-date scientific discourse via the contextual reading, which suggests establishing connections between the ideas running through his book and the psychoanalytic theories contemporary to him. The article also aims, having estimated psychoanalysis as a methodological tool for Fashion Studies, to introduce Bergler's investigation into the interdisciplinary dialogue between Fashion Theory and psychoanalysis.
Militares e estratégias não-convencionais de política no Brasil: configurando parâmetros para uma tomada de poder de Estado
Authors: Leirner Piero
Published: December 2024

Este artigo pretende analisar os modos que militares produziram a candidatura de Jair Bolsonaro à Presidência em 2018, observando o fato de que a opção por o lançar a este cargo foi inaugurada em 2014 dentro de um estabelecimento militar. Considerando que Bolsonaro (e seu então Vice-Presidente) eram militares, minha intenção é recuperar o vínculo entre esta ação política e uma ação militar propriamente dita, operando na lógica da guerra. Para tanto, lanço mão de uma categoria nativa que começa a circular entre militares brasileiros justamente no em 2014, a de “guerra híbrida”. Um rápido sobrevoo ao modo como ela foi concebida desde seus primeiros usos, em meados dos anos 2000, sugere que alguns de seus aspectos foram utilizados de forma inédita aqui no Brasil.
