Empirical evidence in conceptual engineering, or the defense of 'predictive understanding'
Authors: Rorot Wiktor , Miłkowski Marcin
Published: December 2023

The advent of digital philosophy of science—the practice of employing large textual datasets together with text mining and natural language processing tools for asking questions in philosophy of science—has dramatically shifted philosophers’ ability to account for the scientific practice, without relying on small and often arbitrary samples of the literature. The methodological issues that come with this novel approach have been traditionally discussed around the necessary choice between using these methods for discovery and exploration of new philosophical hypothesis, and the testing of existing stances. In this chapter, we propose a different path that remains hitherto underexplored in digital philosophy: namely, one offered by conceptual engineering. We provide general methodological guidelines for using digital tools in the study of scientific literature for the purpose of clarifying and honing existing philosophical concepts. To substantiate this position, we draw examples from existing research which has hinted at this approach, and apply our proposed methodology to the notion of “understanding” in the scientific practice to show how it can help researchers across subdisciplines of philosophy apply this concept usefully, including in the philosophy of artificial intelligence.

Published: December 2023

Affective computing is an interdisciplinary field that aims to automatically recognize and interpret emotions. Recent research has focused on using physiological signals (e.g., electrodermal activity) to improve emotion recognition. However, little attention has been paid to the theoretical emotion models underlying these systems. Here, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature on automatic emotion recognition systems using electrodermal activity. We found that models predicting arousal generally outperformed those predicting valence, which is consistent with our pre-registered hypothesis. This finding aligns well with the conceptual framework that views arousal as a psychological and physiological state linked to autonomic nervous system activity, making it more directly related to electrodermal activity. Furthermore, we observed a discrepancy between the types of machine learning models used, mainly classification models, and the emotional models adopted, often of a dimensional nature. Specifically, despite the increased use of dimensional affective models, there has been no corresponding increase in the use of regression models, which would be consistent with the continuous nature of these data. We conclude that a comprehensive understanding of affective states requires consideration of both psychological and computational perspectives in affective computing research.

Authors: Harningsih Harningsih , Anggriani Delia Putri
Published: December 2023

The impact of the COVID-19 virus has hit the health and social sectors hard, with the economic aspect being the most affected. Large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) have been one of the government's policies to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus, resulting in a slump in micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (UMKM), with widespread effects on the national economy. This research aims to delve deeper into Smesco Indonesia's efforts to assist UMKM during the COVID-19 pandemic, viewing it as both an opportunity and a challenge to enhance productivity in the wake of the pandemic-induced downturn. Through a qualitative descriptive study using the case study research method, this research comprehensively outlines, explains, and elaborates on Smesco's marketing communication implementation post-pandemic. The research findings indicate that Smesco Indonesia is committed to helping UMKM recover from their slump by providing various services, including sales promotion, marketing, market information, product distribution support, and consultation. They have also organized webinars to educate UMKM and expand their business horizons, not only for offline but also online sales. Smesco hopes that UMKM can elevate their status, which presents opportunities and challenges for business owners. The UMKM upgrading program initiated by Smesco offers several advantages, including the chance for UMKM products to enter the global market and support through product selection for local supermarket markets. The requirements for UMKM upgrading are relatively simple, such as having the necessary business legality documents like the Business Identification Number (NIB) or Limited Liability Company (PT) for medium-sized businesses, Halal certification, and BPOM approval for production.

Authors: Шулигіна Раїса , Ковальова Анастасія
Published: December 2023

У статті розкрито сутність проблеми формування ціннісного ставлення до природи дітей старшого дошкільного віку. На основі проведеного аналізу різних підходів учених до тлумачення концептів «формування», «цінність», «ставлення», «ціннісне ставлення» сформульовано та представлено дефініцію поняттю «ціннісне ставлення до природи дитини старшого дошкільного віку» як складної багатоаспектної індивідуально-психологічної характеристики дитини старшого дошкільного віку, що полягає в інтеграції сукупності теоретичних знань, ціннісних орієнтацій, індивідуально-особистісних якостей, практичних умінь та навичок дитини у сфері екології та передбачає наявність внутрішніх переконань щодо важливості збереження природи, усвідомлених прагнень ощадливого використання її ресурсів, емоційно-позитивного сприйняття дитиною природи, її краси, багатств та розуміння ролі природи в житті людини.Керуючись положеннями нормативно-правових документів у галузі дошкільної освіти та вивчивши сучасні наукові джерела та концепції українських та зарубіжних учених, визначено та схарактеризовано структурно-функціональну модель процесу формування ціннісного ставлення до природи у дитини старшого дошкільного віку, що включає в себе емоційно-ціннісний, когнітивний та діяльнісно-практичний компоненти. Запропоновано розглядати природу як загальнолюдську цінність.Визначено особливості формування ціннісного ставлення до природи у дітей старшого дошкільного віку як невід’ємної компоненти їх природничо-екологічної компетентності. На аналізу психолого-педагогічної та методичної літератури встановлено, що процес формування ціннісного ставлення до природи дитини старшого дошкільного віку обумовлюється процесом формування структурних компонентів її особистості (потреби, емоційна готовність, мотиви та особистий досвід дитини). Схарактеризовано основні педагогічні умови ефективного формування ціннісного ставлення до природи у дітей старшого дошкільного віку в умовах функціонування закладів дошкільної освіти, серед яких особлива роль належить екологізації освітнього середовища.Окреслено перспективи проведення подальших наукових розвідок з порушеної проблеми.

Peanut cultivation in Ghana is influenced by abiotic (e.g., drought, fertilization, etc.) and biotic (e.g., pests, diseases, etc.) factors that must be managed effectively to maximize yields. These factors differ across agro-ecologies and pose significant risks to yields and aflatoxin contamination and can limit financial returns to farmers. Knowledge of interactions among key production practices such as pest management, crop rotation sequence, varietal selection, tillage systems, and chemical inputs is required to mitigate these risks and to provide quality advice to peanut farmers by Agricultural Extension Agents (AEAs) and/or similar advisory groups. This paper describes the development of a comprehensive, Microsoft (MS) Excel based risk management tool to help farmers and their advisors implement practices that minimize the risk of yield loss and aflatoxin contamination while providing production cost estimates. This tool is based on a similar one developed for peanut production in North Carolina (USA). Three risk tools were developed; one for the interior savannah zone of northern Ghana which has a unimodal rainfall pattern, and two for the forest and transition zones of southern Ghana which are characterized by a bimodal rainfall pattern. These tools will aid AEAs and farmers to make informed decisions on the best combinations of production practices that will minimize risk and increase yields in Ghana. The development process considered the differences in selection of varieties, plant density, fertilization, and pest management between savannah and the forest-transition regions as well as the impact of their interactions on peanut yield and aflatoxin contamination. Overall, this risk management tool benefits extension service providers (government and private), breeding, agronomy, and plant protection programs as well as teaching in higher education institutions.

Published: December 2023

At the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (PIEF–2023), the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin presented a new concept for the development of a country with a sovereign economy. This time, the president did not as much emphasize and highlight priorities, as he summarized the theoretical and methodological basis for the announced model. The President answered the fundamental question: how and in what way will the new Russian economy be built – «the economy of supply».
We are talking about the transition to a qualitatively new level of development – to a sovereign economy that not only reacts to market conditions and takes into account demand, but also forms this demand.
Such an economy is often called the «supply economy» and presupposes a large-scale increase in production forces and the expansion of the service sector, the widespread creation of new modern industrial facilities and entire industries, including in those areas "... where we have not yet proven ourselves properly, but there are scientific opportunities, creative potential that we have, of course» – that's how V.V. Putin described the contours of the new development model.
The main principles will be: orientation of the education system on employment of graduates; expansion of entrepreneurial activity; increasing the attractiveness of Russia as a state of central jurisdiction for conducting global business and preventing the transfer of funds from the country abroad; ensuring investment growth; maximum spread of the «lean production» system; automation and mastering of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
Experts named the immediate «builders of the country's technological sovereignty»: to achieve it, experts in artificial intelligence, blockchain and robotics will be needed.

The chapter discusses the issue of mentoring in a medical school. This topic is very relevant due to the fact that the process of forming a new doctor as a specialist is not only one of the priority tasks of the social sphere and medicine in particular, but also an important task for the state as a whole. Since ancient times, the deepest knowledge and experience have been passed on from mentor to student – future physician. Recently, in addition to pedagogical mentoring, student mentoring has begun to emerge in the world. However, the continuation of the existence of mentoring and its development is impossible without identifying possible difficulties and problems, which was the goal of the presented work. The subjects of the study were 150 people – students and teachers of VSMU named after. N.N. Burdenko. Group 1 included 50 1st year students of the Faculty of Medicine; group 2 – 50 6th year students of the Faculty of Medicine; Group 3 – 50 university teachers from various departments. After processing and assessing the gender and age composition, the subjects were asked to evaluate various aspects related to mentoring, in particular – the level of awareness of mentoring, both pedagogical and student; determine the need for mentoring of both types in general and assess their impact on the educational process and on the choice of further specialty. The final part of the study was an analysis of various problems associated with both pedagogical and student mentoring. The data obtained allow to take a fresh look at mentoring in general and at existing problems, and to think about possible ways to solve them. This article may be of some interest to higher education teachers and medical university teachers involved in mentoring, as well as participating in the formation of student mentoring.

Authors: Santos Fernanda Batista de Oliveira , Cobucci Gustavo Carvalho , Costa Juliana Silva
Published: December 2023

Hyperthyroidism is the most prevalent endocrinopathy in felines, especially in elderly cats. It consists of a multisystemic condition resulting from increased production of T3 and T4 by the thyroid gland. The etiology of the disease is due, in most cases, to adenomatous hyperplasia or glandular adenoma that leads to increased hormone production. The pathogenesis and risk factors of the disease are not yet well defined. Factors such as the consumption of endocrine disruptors have already been associated with the disease. The most common clinical manifestations are polyphagia associated with weight loss, vomiting and diarrhea, polyuria, polydipsia, hyperactivity and palpable nodules in the thyroid’s topography. Diagnosis is made based on anamnesis, clinical signs, results of laboratory and imaging tests, and measurement of thyroid and pituitary hormones. There are several therapeutic protocols such as the use of oral drugs, surgery, iodine-restricted diets and radioiodine therapy. This report aimed to describe the case of a feline, female, mixed breed, 11 years old, with a history of slight weight loss and sporadic episodes of emesis. Based on history and anamnesis, physical evaluation and findings from laboratory and imaging tests, including thyroid scintigraphy, the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism was made. The treatment carried out was the application of radioactive iodine with an individual dose based on the protocol proposed by Peterson and Rishniw (2021). Three months after the procedure, the values found for the hormonal tests (total T4 and TSH) were within the reference range and, currently, the patient is in a state of euthyroidism.

The use of information technologies makes the implementation of management information support more effective. The simplest example can be the computerization of a number of functions of administrative work, which positively affects the activity of the institution as a whole. The selection, processing, creation and transfer of information occurs thanks to the use of information technology tools - interdependent software products for a certain type of computer, the technology of which allows to achieve the goal set by the user. Means of information and communication technologies, which are necessary for the system of higher education institutions: technical means (computers, computer complexes, multimedia projectors, touch boards, etc.); software (system, general purpose, application software); means for connecting to the Internet and ensuring the possibility of full-fledged work in it (servers, communication lines, modems, programs for searching various data on the Internet, etc.); information content (content) on the Internet specially created for the education system; methodological support for the use of information and communication technologies in education. Tasks related to the management of an educational institution that can be automated: management of the educational process (formation of educational plans, schedule, monitoring of educational results); financial planning and accounting; accounting of the material and technical base; HR; automation of library activities; document flow; preparation of operational and external reporting; organization of students' intellectual leisure; development of educational web resources (distance learning, massive online courses). However, computer programs do not solve the problems of routine information processing at an adequate level. In the management of the institution of higher education, the latest technologies are used, in particular, cloud technologies. Information support of a higher education institution significantly affects the quality of the educational process, effective management of the organization's resources, establishing relations with other institutions, etc.

The article explores the digital practices of media fandom and highlights how the development of information technologies and the emergence of new media have revolutionised cultural production. Since the mid-1990s, the widespread use of Internet technologies has led to significant changes in the circulation of information and various forms of cultural expression. Each community of individuals with similar interests now has the opportunity to create their own virtual universe, allowing representatives from various cultural groups to communicate about their shared hobbies, regardless of their location. In particular, online interactive communities such as fans of popular literature, TV series, and shows have experienced significant growth in numbers. It has been established in academic discourse that the notion of media fandom is employed to designate fan communities of the digital age. These communities are brought together by their dedication to particular mass culture products, and are active in the digital realm of new media, advancing specific digital practices. Members of a media fandom generate fresh cultural works, closely linked to a specific storyline of a popular mass culture product. Media fandom is a multifaceted and complex phenomenon within contemporary culture, which blurs the boundary between creator and consumer. It is a characteristic of digital culture that requires objective evaluation due to its subjective nature. Causal connections between statements are necessary to ensure comprehensibility and logical structure. Technical term abbreviations should always be explained when first used. Maintaining conventional structure, including regular formatting and factual, unambiguous titles, is vital. Clear, objective language should be used, avoiding biased, emotional, figurative, or ornamental language. The passive tone and impersonal construction should be employed, avoiding first-person perspectives unless necessary. Aim for a clear structure with precise word choice and balance without bias. Finally, maintain grammatical correctness, adhering to style guides, consistent citations, and formatting. It finds that fandom is a global platform for the creation and distribution of content on favourite topics, a type of participatory culture that involves a person who was previously only a consumer of cultural and social meanings in the state of producer. The author formulates the main characteristics of media fandom: it appears in the era of new media, it creatively rethinks the products of cultural industries, it represents the space of amateur production, it has a collective nature of activity, and the participants are engaged in creativity for their own development and enjoyment.
TAXATION AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: EXPERIENCE OF ANCIENT GREECE

The article analyzes the experience of tax policy formation in ancient Athens in connection with the development of public administration in the ancient era. The importance of studying this scientific problem in the context of Ukraineʼs strategic course towards the European Union is emphasized. The article aims to identify problems related to the experience of tax policy in Ancient Greece in connection with the strategy of public administration in ancient Athens. It is noted that the economic relations and tax policy of the ancient Greeks were closely linked to the specificities of citizenʼs social life in ancient Hellas. The concepts of freedom, slavery, and the polis decisively influenced the concept of the tax system implemented in Athens in the 5th – 4th centuries BCE. It is emphasized that various models of tax systems were applied in different historical periods within ancient Attica. During the tyranny of Peisistratos and his successors, a direct 10% tax, unpopular among citizens, was practiced. Later, in the era of democracy, a complex tax system emerged, combining a direct tax on foreigners (metoikion) and an extraordinary war tax (eisphora). At the same time, social duty (liturgia) played a significant role, serving as an alternative to direct taxation of wealthy Athenians and involving voluntary financing of socially significant projects. The effectiveness of eisphora and liturgia was explained primarily by the high level of civic consciousness among the ancient Athenians, who demonstrated readiness to serve the interests of their polis. The article mentions that in addition to direct and targeted taxes, there existed a system of indirect levies in ancient Athens, which were derived from commercial activities, logistic services, property use, etc. An important invention of the Athenians was a tax model that did not involve maintaining a bureaucratic apparatus. This was achieved by contracting tax collection to private contractors through auctions. It is concluded that a successful tax model could be realized thanks to the excellent self-organization of Athenian citizens, high civic consciousness, and the principles of public administration in tax policy.

Diabetic people, especially those with diabetes (type 2), have a two- to three-fold greater chance of developing coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to non-diabetics. By assessing the angiograms of diabetic as well as non-diabetic individuals, the current study sought to determine the impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the degree and intensity of CAD. This cross-sectional study included 138 male patients out of 1246 patients who underwent coronary angiography for suspected CAD. Type 2 diabetes had been diagnosed in 78 of these patients. fourteen diabetic patients were not found to have CAD. Sixty-four (46.37%) of the diabetic patients and sixty (43.47%) of the non-diabetic patients were found to have CAD and were then examined in the current investigation. Type-2 diabetes demonstrated significantly greater hypertension and age disparities than non-diabetics. Diabetes patients had an increased prevalence of multi-lesion, multivessel, extensive, and relatively small vessel disease than people without diabetes. The left circumflex artery was indeed the coronary artery that was typically frequently affected in diabetes individuals. People who have diabetes (n = 41; 64.7%) had substantially (P = 0.02) greater rates of triple vessel involvement. The structure of the coronary arteries is significantly impacted by diabetes type 2 which is also linked to hypertension, age, and an increased risk of multivessel and severe CAD.

We discuss evolution of a neutron star in the massive binary system in terms of evolutionary chain of its states: ejector, propeller and accretor. We show that a direct transition between the states of ejector and accretor (without the propeller state) can take place only in the systems with relatively low-velocity stellar wind of the massive component in case of formation of the Keplerian accretion disk of low viscosity.
