The Hermeneutics of Arūnas Sverdiolas
Authors: Mickevičius Arūnas
Published: December 2020

The article seeks to highlight and thus draw attention to some important features of A. Sverdiolas’s thinking and his hermeneutic research. The article discusses three models of cultural hermeneutics: “weak hermeneutics,” “strong hermeneutics,” and “deep hermeneutics.” The aim of the article is to substantiate the thesis that A. Sverdiolas’s hermeneutics can be assigned to the so-called “strong hermeneutics,” but with elements that are also characteristic of the so-called “deep hermeneutics.” The article emphasizes that A. Sverdiolas considers and discusses in his texts the conceptual approaches of the so-called “weak hermeneutics,” but does not theoretically engage in it. It should be emphasized that A. Sverdiolas considers and discusses the conceptual approaches of the so-called “weak hermeneutics,” but does not theoretically engage in it. Also, based on the metaphorical image of “urbanization,” the article seeks to draw attention to A. Sverdiolas’s contribution to expanding and deepening research in the field of culture in Lithuania.

Particles of hydrophilic (A-300) and hydrophobic (AM1) silicas, interacting with each other, form secondary structures in which the gaps between non-porous nanoparticles shape texture mesopores and macropores. Water addition to this system during the process of mechanochemical action results in a forming of composite system with thixotropic properties. Thus, the aim of the work was to study the phase state and parameters of the water binding to the surface of solid particles in systems consisting of two parts of hydrophilic and one part of hydrophobic silica with a variable water content. Using the methods of 1H NMR spectroscopy, electron microscopy, laser correlation spectroscopy and rheological studies, the state of water was studied, its thermodynamic parameters, as well as the A-300/AM1 composite particle size distribution were determined. It has been found that water in the interparticle gaps of the A-300/AM1 composite is in the form of polyassociates similar to clusters and domains in liquid water. It was shown that with increasing water concentration (from 1 to 4 g/g) in the composite, its bulk density, the amount of strongly bound water and the total change in its free energy increased. It has been found that for composites with different hydration, similar clusters size distributions of adsorbed water are observed, where two maxima are identified at R = 5–7 and 20–30 nm, and most of the water is part of cluster structures with radius of 20–40 nm. It has been shown that a suspension based on of a mixture of 2/1 hydrophilic and hydrophobic silicas and 3 g/g of water, depending on the mechanical loading, can be in the state of a wet powder or viscous liquid, having high thixotropic properties, which are manifested in diluted aqueous suspensions. For dispersing of such a composite in an aqueous medium, aggregates form in with a diameter of 80–100 and 200–1000 nm, which indicates intense interparticle interactions. The interaction energy of the nanoparticles surface in the composite with the aqueous medium increases from 12 to 18 J/g with an increase in the water content from 1 to 4 g/g. Under the influence of shear load, the viscosity of the diluted suspension decreases by an order of magnitude, and then is restored at a level which exceeds the initial one almost at twice. It has been found that the obtained colloidal system is irreversible in the aqueous medium and under the mechanical load influence in the working cylinder of a viscometer, its viscosity characteristics intensify.

Igualdad de género: un enfoque alternativo desde el lenguaje filial del cuerpo
Authors: Granados José
Published: December 2020

El artículo examina cómo las teorías de «igualdad de género» han pasado, de basarse en la libertad, a apoyarse en el ser. Aborda primero la obra de Martha C. Nussbaum que, partiendo de las capacidades humanas básicas, intenta una fundamentación universal de los derechos homosexuales. Se fija después en Judith Butler, quien juzga necesario desmontar la estructura de heterosexualidad hegemónica opresora de libertades. Finalmente se propone una alternativa desde la experiencia del cuerpo relacional, como cuerpo generado o filial. El papel estructurante de la diferencia hombre-mujer, al permitir que el camino de la persona hacia su origen se despliegue más allá de quienes la generaron, aparece como necesaria para defender la igual dignidad de todos.
El valor y el bien como objetos de la intencionalidad en Max Scheler
Authors: Fernández-Beites Pilar
Published: December 2020

En este artículo se estudia la intencionalidad afectiva en Max Scheler, mostrando que la fenomenología de los valores no se ocupa sólo del valor, sino que cuenta con una completa teoría del bien. En dicha teoría, Scheler hace un análisis genético que parte de la Sache (entendida como wertvolles Ding, cosa valiosa) para obtener las nociones de Ding (cosa teórica) y Gut (bien), entendido como Wertding (cosa de valor). Esto permite mejorar las descripciones clásicas del bien y puede ofrecer una alternativa interesante a las propuestas “pragmaticistas” actuales.

Published: December 2020

At present, the problem of creating methodological security of cyberphysical systems, in particular, the design and implementation of information security subsystems is acute. At the same time, the landscape of threats and vulnerabilities typical for a wide range of hardware and software technologies used in cyberphysical systems is extremely wide and complex. In this context, the security of application layer protocols is of paramount importance, as these protocols are the basis for interaction between applications and services running on different devices, as well as in cloud infrastructures. With the constant interaction of the systems under study with the real physical infrastructure, the challenge is to determine effective measures to ensure the integrity of the transferred control commands, as disruption of the performed critical processes can affect human life and health. The paper provides an analytical review of the main methods of data integrity assurance in management protocol of cyberphysical systems, as well as an overview of application layer protocols vulnerabilities widely used in cyberphysical systems of different types. Classical methods of data integrity assurance, new methods, in particular, blockchain, as well as the main directions of increasing the efficiency of data integrity protocols in cyberphysical systems are considered. Analysis of application layer vulnerabilities is carried out on the example of the most popular MQTT, CoAP, AMQP, DDS, XMPP specifications and their implementations. It is established that despite the presence of basic security mechanisms in all these protocols, researchers continue to regularly identify vulnerabilities in popular implementations, that often endangers critical infrastructure services. In the course of preparing the review of the existing methods of data integrity assurance for the examined class of systems, the key problems of these methods integration and ways of their solution were defined.

Published: December 2020

The pandemic caused by Covid-19 has highlighted the vulnerability of the agrifood system. The urgent need to supply fresh food has arisen everywhere. Lockdown slowed down the fresh vegetables supply in the long distance distribution chains. In addition, the total confinement occurred in many countries left the people not only distressed, but also in the need to divert daily spare time to a new home gardening vitalization. During the pandemic, sales in local and street markets declined dramatically, while most purchases became concentrated in supermarkets. This fact has increased the risk of crowdedness and thus contamination or regulated entrances in the supermarkets, or left communities in small towns with limited access to food supply due to the lack of big grocery stores. Gardening can increase opportunities for local and fresh food availability. Scaling-up local food production becomes important to increase resilience of communities. The pandemic may represent an important opportunity to enhance a new era of gardening with modern technology along with traditional systems.

Authors: Nosenko Anna
Published: December 2020

Foreign language teachers for engineering specialties are faced with the task of forming and developing communicative competencies within the framework of a professional orientation. It leads to an increase in the duration of mastering the material by students at the initial stage of training (1 course), since specialized disciplines are taught later. In this regard, the specific goal of teaching a foreign language at a university is to form a general idea of the objects for professional activity in solving specific engineering problems. Therefore, it is necessary to apply an interdisciplinary approach and include material that is professionally significant for the students. The content of the "Foreign language" discipline for engineering majors is determined by the content of the lexical part of the educational material, which includes general vocabulary, interdisciplinary vocabulary and professionally oriented vocabulary. The peculiarities of teaching the discipline "Foreign language" for engineering specialties is the active use of terminological, illustrative and video materials. Foreign language teachers for engineering majors now have the opportunity to use audiovisual resources (to improve the acquisition of the target language) to motivate students. This article presents an analysis of the role and effectiveness of video as an authentic material for developing an understanding professionally oriented vocabulary in the course of learning a foreign language for engineering majors. The author considers the principles of selecting educational video material and its organizing, taking into account the goals of a foreign language lesson for students of engineering majors and students of oil and gas industry. Also author provides an approximate lesson plan using authentic video material for students of oil and gas industry.

Published: December 2020

Sensing the pulse of globalization and the job market, the most recent trends in Oman’ s tertiary education are about teaching methods and education practices’ improvement. Recognizing the multidimensional and dynamic nature of the tertiary education learning environment, especially its foundation program cluster, and identified benefits of extra-curricular activities in having a positive impact on students, this paper reports on a study that examines the role of extracurricular activities as channels of support and foundation program students’ academic performance enhancement. In more detail, using the example of the extracurricular activities offered by the Centre for Preparatory Studies at Sultan Qaboos University, it focuses on the student-perceived factors related to the value of participation in the extracurricular activities and subsequent effects on the tertiary foundation program students’ development. The study employed a mixed study research design. The data was obtained from two instruments, namely student survey and student reflections which were then auto-analyzed using Google forms software. The findings revealed that extracurricular activities could provide a platform for new ways of learning, academic support, extra practice, variety and fun, and student skills’ improvement. Specifically, they showed some improvement on the foundation program students’ linguistic competences, critical thinking and time management skills. Also, involvement in structured extracurricular activities boosts students’ self-confidence and self-esteem, and mitigates their transitional challenges.

Authors: Derevianko V.
Published: December 2020

The article deals with the problem of pragmatic aspects of the semantics of transformed phrases. Functional-pragmatic features of transformed phrases are explored on examples of structural-semantic transformations of the distributionof the component composition. The structural analysis is presented and the formal features of the phraseological transformations updated by the spreading of the component composition is analyzed. An attempt to find out the causes and purposes of the authors using of the structural-semantic transformations of the component composition spreading of phrases and their influence on the phraseological significance is made in the article.In accordance with the author’s intentions, the pragmatic potential of phraseological transformations in the Czech opinion journalism is clarified. Comparing meaning of the actualized phraseological transformations with the values of phraseological invariants (based on the Czech National Corps), the author identified 5 types of the semantic landslides: 1) specification of semantics; 2) the literalization of semantics; 3) intensification of semantics; 4) expression of semantics; 5) explication of semantics. The pragmatic potential of phraseological semantics modeling is outlined.
IMAGE OF LAYOSH KOSHUT IN THE SLAV FOLKLORE TRADITIONAL
Authors: Mushketyk L.
Published: December 2020

The question of historicism, historical authenticity of folklore works has long been of interest to researchers, since oral history not only complements historical sources, but often presents a mixed interpretation of events and characters. In their own way, the people also interpreted the events of the Hungarian liberation revolution of 1848-1849 under the leadership of Layosh Koshut against the Hapsburg dynasty, combined with such a pressing issue for peasants as the abolition of the serfdom. The slavic folklore about Layosh Koshut is represented by folk songs and legends, and reproduces the main points of the liberation war: the mobilization of the local population, its struggle for freedom, the arrival of the Russian army and defeat, the capitulation and escape of Koshut, etc., as well as such a pressing issue for peasants as the elimination of the serfdom, which peasants associate with Koshut or with the Cossier. People’s views on Koshut in songs are controversial. They partially contain anti-Hungarian motives, Koshut’s condemnation, in others his defeat is sympathy. The peasants are struggling for national and social freedom, as opposed to the serfdom, which is devoted to many places in the folk narratives of the region. Over time, in folk works, there is a permutation of time and space, some historical characters and places are replaced by others, changing and actualizing. The article addresses the problem of historical authenticity of folklore works, peculiarities of reproduction of events by artistic and poetic means, their parallels with Hungarian sources, transformation and actualization over time.

Published: December 2020

Este estudo propõe um Modelo Explicativo de Moral no esporte verificando a percepção de autonomia e sua influência no comportamento pró e antissocial nos atletas, mediados pela orientação esportiva. Foram avaliados 180 atletas da Região Sul do Brasil de ambos os sexos participantes em competições nacionais ou internacionais. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: Escala de Satisfação de Necessidades Básicas no Esporte (BNSSS); Escala Multidimensional de Orientação Esportiva (MSOS); e Escala de Comportamento Pró-social e Antissocial no Esporte (PABSS). Os dados foram analisados por meio de um Modelo de Equações Estruturais. Os atletas apresentaram valores elevados de autonomia, julgamento independente, respeito às regras, convenções sociais e comportamentos pró-sociais, com baixos valores de comportamentos antissociais. O modelo de equações estruturais testado demonstra que a orientação esportiva pode ser uma variável mediadora entre a relação da autonomia e principalmente os comportamentos pró-sociais. Conclui-se que uma moral pós-convencional no esporte associada a um movimento autônomo perpassa uma orientação positiva da prática esportiva.

This finds out about pursuits to (1) describe the mathematical reasoning ability of high school students as viewed from the rational and idealist personality types; (2) knowing the causes of students' errors in answering questions. This type of research is qualitative research. The subjects of this research were eleventh-grade students of high school 1 Wanasaba East Lombok. Determination of the concern using purposive sampling. Data collection methods used personality tests and mathematical reasoning exams on trigonometric material. The outcomes of this study indicate that both rational and idealist personality types are capable of substantiating and equally incapable of making logical conclusions. Students with rational and idealist personality types do not meet the indicators of making logical conclusions because the subject is wrong in giving argument formulation because they do not master the concept of arbitrary cosine triangle rule. Students with the rational personality type can perform calculations based on certain rules or formulas, while students with the idealist personality type are unable. This is because the idealist personality kind students use the wrong formula in the problem-solving process. After all, the situation does not understand the concept of arbitrary sine and cosine triangle rules. The idealist personality type student can predict the answer and the solution process, while the rational personality type is unable. This is because students with the rational personality type answer not to the desired answer to the question. After all, they do not understand the query from the question.

The interaction between the community around buffer village and Alas Purwo National Park is intense because the community's reliance on natural resources is still high. Natural resources are abundant in Alas Purwo National Park and are directly bordered by residential areas. The form of community interaction around buffer villages with is the selection of forest and beach results. The problem in voting activities conducted by the community, so far is that in addition to providing economic value to the community, this activity is also likely to result in the damage of natural resources. Forests provide benefits as well as threats to the world, especially people in the area around the forest. People around the forest have their own ways to manage the forest to keep the forest sustainable, one way to save it is to re-enact the local wisdom found in the communities around the forest.

This study focused on identifying factors that affect classroom management in English classes and tried to give suggestions for the identified problems. The data were collected from Gore High School grade nine students, and English teachers who teach grade nine. The sample consisted of 213 students, and four English teachers. Then the data were collected and interpreted using qualitative and quantitative data analysis method. Especially, observation, questionnaires/open-ended and close-ended/ and interview were used as data gathering tools. Lastly, based on the result, conclusion and recommendations were made. Some of the findings were identified as negatively impacting on classroom management activities were large number of students in the classroom, poor ability of the teachers in managing classroom activities and school management that did not take satisfactory measures on misbehaved students counted as some factors that affect classroom management. To minimize these problems the researcher recommended that the school should request the society and different organizations to build additional classrooms; taking satisfactory measures on students who always misbehave in the classroom.

In a physics classroom, kinematics is an essential concept that must be mastered before learning others. The students need ongoing practice and assistance in understanding it. Formative assessment is one of the alternatives to help students reshape their conceptual understanding, but its implementation is often constrained. The implementation of isomorphic multiple choice items as part of computer games is expected to help them overcome the problems. Physics Formative Feedback Game (PF2G) has been developed by utilizing isomorphic multiple choice items. Based on the results of the initial trial, PF2G got a good response, from the physics teacher and also from the students.

CRISE DOS DIREITOS HUMANOS EM TEMPOS DE PANDEMIA: um diálogo entre Hannah Arendt e Giorgio Agamben
Authors: Martins Ricardo Evandro Santos , Silva Paulo Henrique Araujo da
Published: December 2020

O presente trabalho busca investigar de que modo a crise causada pela pandemia do coronavírus afeta o compromisso dos Estados nacionais pela garantia e pela proteção dos Direitos Humanos de seus cidadãos, analisando se esses direitos, que em tese são inalienáveis e garantidos pelos Estados em qualquer situação, podem ter sua eficácia comprometida em regimes democráticos na ocorrência de uma situação emergencial tal qual a atual. Com base na perspectiva da crise dos Direitos Humanos apontada por Hannah Arendt e dos perigos políticos alertados por Agamben das medidas excepcionais tomadas durante a pandemia, esta pesquisa se propõe a demonstrar que o contexto pandêmico é de uma crise sanitária usada pelos Estados como meio para acentuar um modus operandi político que é antidemocrático, revelando ainda que a estruturação dos Direitos Humanos, ainda vinculados à soberania estatal, é bastante problemática considerando que é justamente o Estado, nessa situação, o ente interessando em violar tais garantias fundamentais. Para tanto, foi realizada pesquisa essencialmente bibliográfica. Os principais referenciais teóricos em Hannah Arendt foram os seus textos que versavam sobre as consequências decorrentes da condição dos apátridas previamente, em meio e após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, além suas críticas aos Direitos Humanos enquanto vinculados à emancipação nacional na forma da criação de um Estado soberano. Em Giorgio Agamben, foram utilizadas algumas obras que compõem o projeto Homo Sacer, além de algumas declarações proferidas antes, que versam sobre biopolítica e dos perigos de incorporar a segurança enquanto paradigma governamental, e durante a pandemia do coronavírus, em que o filósofo alerta que a pandemia e o estado de medo com ela difundido torna os indivíduos mais suscetíveis a permitirem a supressão de garantias tidas como fundamentais.
Efeitos da Marcação de Elementos de Conjuntos Sobre a Contagem em Tarefas de Discriminação Condicional

Published: December 2020

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos de um procedimento de marcação de elementos de conjuntos sobre o desempenho em tarefas de contagem, de nomeação e de discriminação condicional que envolvem contagem. No Experimento 1, oito estudantes do terceiro ano do Ensino Fundamental participaram de sessões individualizadas com a aplicação de um teste de contagem com pequenos cubos de madeira e de 13 testes para avaliação de repertórios pré-aritméticos em cadernos impressos. Esses testes avaliaram repertórios de contagem de elementos de conjuntos, nomeação de número e discriminações condicionais (número e número, numeral (auditivo) e número, etc.). Os testes com conjuntos de figuras foram aplicados sem marcação de elementos e com marcação com uso de lápis (riscar o elemento contado). O Experimento 2 foi uma replicação do Experimento 1 com novos oito participantes. No Experimento 2 foi solicitado aos participantes que não apontassem para os elementos dos conjuntos enquanto contavam. Em ambos os experimentos, os testes exclusivamente com números apresentaram altos índices de acerto. Nas tarefas com conjuntos, registrou-se mais erros no procedimento sem marcação dos elementos dos conjuntos do que no procedimento com marcação dos elementos dos conjuntos. Esses resultados sugerem que testes de discriminações condicionais que envolvam contagem devem contemplar controles específicos para o comportamento de contar, evitando erros como, por exemplo, duplicação ou omissão da contagem de elementos.Palavras-chave: ensino-aprendizagem de Matemática; habilidades pré-aritméticas; contagem; discriminações condicionais; estudantes do ensino fundamental.
Uma breve análise de fatores de custo da resposta e do uso de equipamentos de segurança para prevenir a transmissão do COVID-19

Published: December 2020

Recently, the world is dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, something that has changed daily routines and requires us to take more careful security measures, such as using safety equipment. However, using safety equipment is not an everyday behavior, and both access and correct use can be an effortful task for the general public. This paper briefly explores some of the response-cost factors regarding the use of safety equipment in preventing COVID-19 spread. We propose that the manipulation of response-cost factors can affect the probability of the use of safety equipment. Nevertheless, response-cost is only one of several aspects (e.g., cultural aspects) involved in the use of safety equipment. Further research could extend and test the suggestions we make and propose other aspects that should be analyzed. We hope that understanding the response-costs factors involved in preventive behavior can contribute to public-policy planning and  increase the daily use of safety equipment, and  decrease the probability of transmission during health hazards such as the COVID-19 pandemic.Keywords:  COVID-19; response cost; public health; pandemic
