ADVANCED ICT TOOLS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMPLEX CALCULATIVE STUDY
Authors: Et al. Dr. Capt. K. Sujatha
Published: March 2021

India being a nation of Mathematicians like Srinivasa Ramanujam, Aryabhata, Shakuntala Devi, and so forth is constantly celebrated for worldwide numerical commitments throughout time. In the current circumstance, math is a subject that most understudies attempt to dodge because of its extensive counts and complex definitions. Numerous nations around the globe have done several turns of events and developments for mathematical calculations in the field of Chemistry, Physics, Electronics, Computer Science, and so forth with the assistance of cutting-edge Information Communication Technology (ICT) apparatuses. Indian mathematical subsystems also need to evolve and upgrade to meet the global professional competition from the grassroots level. There is a genuine need to join ICT instruments for mathematics in school and college education to have a superior agreement. The joining of ICT instruments can change the course of calculative study to calculative upgrade which further prompts higher concept understanding and perspective development. This paper discusses the new improvement in the field of advanced calculation and how it is limiting the weight on understudies. As per Prytherch (2000), "ICTs are networks that provide new opportunities for teaching, learning, and training through the delivery of digital content. “Integration technology in education means giving experiential learning to the students. Software tools for calculation are utilized in the study hall for improving intellectual capacity and abilities in students especially to diminish computation stress among them.
APPLICATION OF EXPERT SYSTEMS OR DECISION-MAKING SYSTEMS IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION
Authors: Sayed Biju Theruvil
Published: March 2021

Expert system (ES) is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that is used to manage different problems by making use of interactive computer-based decision-making process. It uses both factual information and heuristics to resolve the complicated decision-making issues in a specific domain. The architecture of the expert system was analyzed and found that it includes several parts such as user interface, knowledge base, working memory, inference engine, explanation system, system engineer, and knowledge engineer, user, and expert system shell in which each part of the architecture of an expert system is based on different functionary that helps it to make an adequate decision by analyzing complex situations. The research aims to analyze the application of expert systems or decision-making systems in the field of education and found that it is used for different purposes such as assessing teacher performance, providing guidance to the students regarding their career, and providing quality learning to students with disabilities. It is also used to help the students to make rightful career decisions and become efficient professionals after completing their studies.

The Perpetrator of the Crime in Complicity and without Complicity: A Universal Role in the Diversity of Legal Constructions
Authors: Molchanov D. M.
Published: March 2021

A comprehensive study of the perpetrator’s role leads to the following conclusions: “perpetrator of the crime” is a universal term used to describe an act that constitutes an objective element of the crime committed both in complicity and without complicity. Four alternatives to the actions of the perpetrator exist: executor who performed the objective element alone, an accomplice who performed the objective element with other accomplices, an indirect perpetrator, an indirect accomplice. Other ways to qualify person’s act as a perpetrator are based not on the law, but on the recommendations of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation that de facto acquired the status of the provisions of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (joint participation in the organized group, joint participation in a crime with “technical distribution of roles”). The main element of the act of the perpetrator includes the fulfillment of the objective element described in the disposition of the article of the Special Part. The content of the objective element of a particular crime does not depend on the existence of complicity, hence the term “perpetrator” is applicable to any crime and has a universal value. It is impractical to describe in the law the same acts in different terms. “Technical distribution of roles” is a doctrinal term. Its content is disclosed in some resolutions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the RF. Extensive interpretation of the term “perpetrator” in crimes with “technical distribution of roles” is a forced measure on the part of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, since the term “the group of persons in conspiracy” is interpreted restrictively. This interpretation complicates the application of the criminal law and does not allow us to adequately assess the greater risk of crimes committed in complicity. The term “technical distribution of roles” does not have a universal (acknowledged) interpretation in jurisprudence, which also makes it difficult to apply the law. Joint participation in a legal sense in crimes committed by an organized group is a construct that is not based on law applied to crimes with a special subject, which contradicts part 4, Art. 34 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
Terror as a Tool of Stalin’s Rule Book Review: Syrykh VM. The Legal Nature of Stalin’s Terror: In Compliance with the Directives of the Party, but Contrary to the Law. Moscow: Yurlitinform Publ.; 2020
Authors: Baev V. G. , Marchenko A. N.
Published: March 2021

The paper provides for a critical analysis of the monographic work by famous Marxist legal scholar, Doctor of Law, Professor, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation Vladimir M. Syrykh. As known, there are a lot of works investigating the crimes of Stalinist politics based on open sources that have become available to scientists. Prof. Syrykh cultivates a different, legal view of the activities of Stalinist leadership. As a legal theorist and methodologist, he set himself the goal of analyzing the legal nature of Stalin’s repressive policies and his associates in the 1930s-1950s. The researcher concluded that Stalin’s leadership in the process of building the socialist state turned away from the requirements of the constitution and Soviet legislation, acted contrary to law, replacing it with Directives, which can be qualified as undermining the state system.

Reviewers praise the work by Vladimir M. Syrykh, sharing many of his submissions. As reviewers see, the author’s intention was to purge the very idea of socialism from the distortions and perversions brought by Stalin. According to the author, Stalin perverted the creative nature of Marxism and Lenin’s legacy. However, the authors of the review indicate that the policy of terror against the Soviet people coincides with the period of Stalin’s rule, which gives grounds to Prof. Syrykh opponents to claim: 40 years of socialist construction involved violence, coercion and killing thousands of people. The book under review is written to counter such claims.

Some data from the literature on diseases of the lowest part of the spinal cord with two cases of self-observation
Authors: Veselitsky I. A.
Published: March 2021

Over the last 25 years or so, the attention of neuropathologists has been drawn to the disease of the lower branch of the spinal cord with the roots extending from it. At first, in the course of 10-15 years, the reports were very meager, fragmentary, and acquaintance with this kind of diseases is extremely insufficient; Bekhterev in 1890, reporting one such case (from the Kazan clinic), mentions only 10 cases from the literature before him; Kster in 1898 in his article mentions 15 cases observed before him.

O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar como a emergência de metáforas conceptuais revela as experiências subjetivas nas narrativas de pacientes que desenvolveram e tratam o câncer de mama e suas estratégias de coping. Para tanto, é proposta uma adaptação de método, baseado em Linguística de Corpus, para a identificação dessas metáforas encontradas no discurso dessas mulheres com base na identificação e na extração de termos candidatos a possíveis domínios conceptuais. Foram coletados textos de 31 blogs de livre acesso sobre a temática em estudo, constituindo um corpus de 2036 textos. Elegeu-se um dos blogs, constituído por 23 postagens, como referência para avaliar se a ferramenta escolhida e a metodologia adaptada seriam adequadas ao estudo. A partir disso, foi criada uma keyword list para extrair termos candidatos a domínios conceptuais, constituindo-se uma lista de referência para a análise dos demais textos. Dentre os domínios conceptuais mais frequentes, emergiram os seguintes: entidade, força da natureza, jogo, container, viagem, valor monetário e guerra. Também, em menor medida, elementos ligados à religião e à espiritualidade acabaram surgindo. A partir da análise empreendida, destaca-se que a realização de metáforas nas narrativas atua como estratégias de coping, haja vista que elas são indícios da elaboração conceitual dessas experiências.

“Ours from the top to the very bottom”: Seneca Land, Colonial Development, Proto-Conservation, and Resistance in the Early American Republic
Authors: Dennis Matthew
Published: March 2021

This essay focuses on the Senecas of western New York and their transformation, resilience, and resistance in the early nineteenth century. Rooted in a hybrid economy and environmental practice, among the postcolonial threats they faced in the context of white territorial expansion, republican and capitalist ideology, was an emerging new instrumental view of property, a radically changing economy, and embryonic ideas about “conservation.” Colonial expansion in the early American republic came at the expense of the Senecas and other Indians—or least that was the design. This expropriation has often been less visible because its story mostly is told from the perspective of (white) nationalism, democracy, and expanding opportunity embedded in the promise of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” In addition, such colonialism in the nineteenth century and into the twentieth has often been masked by another emerging, “greenish” ideology, that of conservationism. Native (residual) rights, autonomy, and sovereignty could be ignored or overwhelmed by the supposedly objective, universal, scientific, and progressive demands that land and resources be conserved, not only from outsiders, but from Native people themselves. Thus, occurring at the expense of American Indians and environmental justice, conservation could be as exploitive and unjust as development.
Basketmaking Guides and the Appropriation of Indigenous Basketry
Authors: Pearlstein Ellen
Published: March 2021

The first quarter of the twentieth century saw Anglo entrepreneurs rapidly develop how-to books, instructional kits, and models for the manufacture of American Indian-style baskets. Purveyors appropriated styles, stitches, and tribal names, and zealously marketed such creations as more affordable than the purchase of an Indigenous basket. Books, imported materials such as raffia and rattan, and stitching methods were disseminated not only across the country and internationally, but to American Indian boarding schools, where instruction not only resulted in appropriation, but also in deculturing the Indigenous basket and Native peoples.
Diferencial Salarial por Género: Un análisis comparativo entre los departamentos de Huila y Nariño

Published: March 2021

Los ingresos económicos o laborales son un aspecto que afecta directamente el nivel de bienestar de una persona y por extensión, de la sociedad en general. El presente trabajo analiza los determinantes del diferencial salarial por género en Colombia y los departamentos de Huila y Nariño para el año 2018, utilizando los datos de la GEIH se emplea la descomposición de Oaxaca- Blinder con corrección de sesgo de selección. Los resultados reflejan que la brecha bruta para el Huila es del 20,7 % y para Nariño del 10,3 %, indicando que los hombres ganan en esa misma proporción más que las mujeres. Teniendo en cuenta que las mujeres tienen en promedio más años de educación, el efecto característico no logra explicar en su totalidad la diferencia, pero si lo hace el efecto remuneración. Está diferencia puede deberse al rol de madre, que lleva a los empresarios a inferir productividad y preferir remunerar más a los hombres que a las mujeres.
Bibliomining and Comparison of Q4 and ESCI Indexed journals under Statistics and Probability Category
Authors: Butt Nadeem Shafique
Published: March 2021

The field of ‘Statistics and Probability’ has expanded its scope over the last few decades and have become an integral part of many fields with continuously increasing demand. This manuscript aimed for at a bibliometric analysis and comparison of all published documents during 2015 – 2019, from journals in the study topic category of ‘Statistics and Probability’ for Q4 Impact Factor (IF) journals and Emerging Source Citation Index (ESCI) of Web of Science (WoS). Sources with incomplete data for study timeframe were excluded and 31 sources from Q4 IF and 32 from ESCI journals were selected yielding 12808 and 4294 documents respectively. After data extraction from WoS, the bibliometric analysis at; source, author and document levels, were performed using “Bibliometrix” R-package. Q4-IF sources produced around 3 times more documents than ESCI sources. Articles were the main document type for both categories. China and USA were leading countries for Q4-IF while India, USA and Korea were dominant among ESCI documents. Two authors, namely, ‘Cordeiro GM’ and ‘Alizadeh M’ were among the 10 most productive authors in both categories. Sources “Communications in Statistics-Theory and Methods” and “Korean Journal of Applied Statistics” were leading contributors for Q4-IF and ESCI category respectively. For both categories, mainly similar trends were observed for keywords and topic coverage. In both Q4-IF and ESCI journals ‘Maximum likelihood’ and ‘Ordered statistics’ were observed to be most predominant keywords. A consistent publication trend with few similarities was observed in terms of documents production over the years for these two categories.
Citizenship and the Economic Assimilation of Canadian Immigrants
Authors: Zanoni Wladimir , He Ailin
Published: March 2021

In this paper, we examine whether acquiring citizenship improves the economic assimilation of Canadian migrants. We took advantage of a natural experiment made possible through changes in the Canadian Citizenship Act of 2014, which extended the physical presence requirement for citizenship from three to four years. Using quasi-experimental methods, we found that delaying citizenship eligibility by one year adversely affected Canadian residents' wages. Access to better jobs explains a citizenship premium of 11 percent in higher wages among naturalized migrants. Our estimates are robust to model specifications, differing sampling windows to form the treatment and comparison groups, and whether the estimator is a non-parametric rather than a parametric one. We discuss how our findings are relevant to the optimal design of naturalization policies regarding efficiency and equity.

Design a New DC-DC Converter for a Grid Connected Photovoltaic System
Authors: Kaddour Hassen , Dib Abderrahmane
Published: March 2021

This paper presents a recent technique for photovoltaic grid connected systems based on the use of the (DPC-SVM) to select the optimal switching states to apply to the inverter, where the extended reactive power is used instead of reactive power. This technique allows achieving an optimal control of the inverter which manifests in controlling the converters using an MPPT algorithm instead of controlling each part separately. This yields to a reduced global control system on a large scale. In this context, we suggest a DC-DC boost converter circuit to ensure better behavior of the system. The FMV technique is used to inject specific harmonics in order to eliminate or minimize the undesired harmonics. The SVM model has also been developed for optimal control of the inverter to prove the high performance of the proposed method. All the results are analyzed theoretically. The simulation has shown that this strategy gives satisfactory performances, improvement of the power factor and a reduction of the THD by 37%.

No Work for a Theory of Personal Identity
Authors: Schwenkler John
Published: March 2021

A main element in Richard Swinburne’s (2019) argument for substance dualism concerns the conditions of a person’s continued existence over time. In this commentary I aim to question two things: first, whether the kind of imaginary cases that Swinburne relies on to make his case should be accorded the kind of weight he supposes; and second, whether philosophers should be concerned to give any substantial theory, of the sort that dualism and its competitors are apparently meant to provide, to explain the conditions of personal identity after all. My suggestion, instead, will be that the concept of a person’s continued existence is better taken as philosophically unanalyzable.
The Dualist Project and the Remote-Control Objection
Authors: Olson Eric T.
Published: March 2021

Substance dualism says that all thinking beings are immaterial. This sits awkwardly with the fact that thinking requires an intact brain. Many dualists say that bodily activity is causally necessary for thinking. But if a material thing can cause thinking, why can’t it think? No argument for dualism, however convincing, answers this question, leaving dualists with more to explain than their opponents.
In Search for the Adaptive Self: A Model of Adaptive Self-Concept
Authors: Jankowski Tomasz , Bąk Wacław
Published: March 2021

The main aim of this article is to present a descriptive social-cognitive model of the adaptive self-concept (ASC) which integrates knowledge concerning the relationship between two aspects of the self—self-awareness and self-knowledge—and optimal functioning. We propose that adaptive self-awareness is moderately frequent, non-ruminative, focused on inner states, and motivated by curiosity. Adaptive self-knowledge is defined as accurate, complex, integrated and consisting of easily accessible self-beliefs, both abstract and concrete. The broader context for the ASC model is discussed, including its regulatory and interpersonal functions and factors which influence ASC development. The limitations of the model are discussed and suggestions are made for future investigations.
Interdisciplinary Approach to Humility: A Review of Handbook of Humility: Theory, Research, and Applications, Edited by Worthington et al.
Authors: Wójtowicz Bartosz
Published: March 2021

Empirical science terminology generally understands humility as a self-view grounded trait characterized mainly by accurate self-awareness and manifested respect for others. Related studies have been carried out for almost 20 years; however, it is still a quite new area in psychological research. Moreover, this seems to be an interesting area because of rising egocentric and narcissistic tendencies that are inconsistent with humble attitudes. Handbook of Humility: Theory, Research, and Applications, reviewed here, offers an adequate basis for understanding humility. It presents main aspects of interdisciplinary approach to humility-related issues like definitions, measurement, and its manifestations in different contexts. Readers may find there many questions and thesis broadening their perspectives, which is a good starting point to carry out own research.

A taxa de parto vaginal após cesárea prévia foi de 55,8%, sendo associado ao desfecho a ausência de intercorrências e/ou patologias durante a gestação; gestações a termo, e ter tido pelo menos um parto normal prévio. Constata-se a necessidade de realização de estudos sobre o tema, dada as recomendações recentes, fatores a serem elucidados e resultados ainda contraditórios a respeito do parto vaginal após cesárea prévia.
Impacts of an Ageing Population on Social Systems – Selected Issues
Authors: Průša Ladislav
Published: March 2021

Population ageing impacts on all social systems. The aim of this paper is to characterise the impacts of an ageing population on the social services and healthcare systems in the Czech Republic. These are the systems that will be most affected by the growing number of people of post-productive age. For social services, an estimate of the evolution of the number of beneficiaries of care allowance up to 2030 was drawn up on the basis of an analysis of the evolution in the number of beneficiaries of this social benefit by sex, age and degree of dependency in the years 2007 to 2016; for healthcare, an estimate of health insurance companies’ expected expenditure on healthcare was drawn up on the basis of an analysis of the evolution of spending on healthcare by health insurance companies, broken down by clients’ sex and age. The calculations clearly show that both these systems are unprepared for tackling the consequences of population ageing, so the search should begin now for new solutions that would help ensure that both social services and healthcare continue to be provided to clients to the existing standard in the coming period.

Background and Purpose

Oral mucositis is one of the most common treatment-induced adverse side effects in head and neck cancer patients. The purpose was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Greek version of the Oral Mucositis Weekly Questionnaire-Head and Neck Cancer (OMWQ-HN).

Methods

The data were retrieved from 72 head and neck cancer patients who were undergoing oral radiotherapy as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy and surgery. Data analyses included internal consistency reliability, criterion related validity, and cross-sectional validity.

Results

The OMWQ-HN demonstrated good criterion validity. Strong correlations were observed between OMWQ-HN with EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-H&N35 that showed good concurrent validity. The tool has a strong internal consistency index with α = .92.

Conclusion

The Greek version of OMWQ-HN is a reliable and valid instrument that can be used for the assessment of oral mucositis in this context.

The use of social media among Indonesia’s Migrant Workers (IMWs)
Authors: Hennida Citra , Aryani Kandi , Kinasih Sri Endah
Published: March 2021

Netizens often use social media as a medium for activism, including Indonesia’s Migrant Workers (IMWs). Social media with networked characteristics has succeeded in lifting narratives in particular groups that have not been heard a lot and have escaped mainstream media scrutiny. Starting from the development of communication between IMWs, we raise the extent to which IMWs use social media as a medium for social activism, especially for IMWs protection issues and social media’s main content uploaded IMWs. This study aims to analyze to what extent social media is used by IMWs for social activism related to issues concerning the protection of migrant workers and what influences their behavior when using social media. We use a social media activism framework within the social media platform. Researchers collected data from March-October 2019 through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and focused discussions that presented 15 representatives from assistants, NGOs, and academics in Malang. There were also 25 IMWs representatives with placement experience in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia. We found that the majority of IMWs use social media as a means of communicating between themselves and their families in the country; however, social media content for social activism is low, especially for the issue of IMWs protection. The culture and legal system in the countries of origin and destination countries influence the low level of participation in the content they create. IMWs is placed in a country with a more open culture, where local laws are more apparent in the protection of IMWs, so IMW’s social media content is more open and willing to provide testimony on the problems that exist around them and vice versa. Therefore, although social media is massive among IMWs, it is not linear with content production that leads to protection.

The Role of White Matter Disconnection in the Symptoms Relating to the Anarchic Hand Syndrome: A Single Case Study

Published: March 2021

The anarchic hand syndrome refers to an inability to control the movements of one’s own hand which acts as if it had a will of its own. The symptoms may differ depending on whether the brain lesion is anterior, posterior, callosal or subcortical, but the relative classifications are not conclusive. This study investigates the role of white matter disconnections in a patient whose symptoms are inconsistent with the mapping of the lesion site. A repeated neuropsychological investigation was associated with a review of the literature on the topic to identify the frequency of various different symptoms relating to this syndrome. Furthermore, an analysis of the neuroimaging regarding structural connectivity allowed us to investigate the grey matter lesions and white matter disconnections. The results indicated that some of the patient’s symptoms were associated with structures that, although not directly damaged, were dysfunctional due to a disconnection in their networks. This suggests that the anarchic hand may be considered as a disconnection syndrome involving the integration of multiple antero-posterior, insular and interhemispheric networks. In order to comprehend this rare syndrome better, the clinical and neuroimaging data need to be integrated with the clinical reports available in the literature on the topic.
