Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Cho Sung-Eun , Park Hee-Sook
Published: December 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study is to explore changes in pro-social and cognitive behavior of children with developmental delays in a mixed-age class aged 3 to 5 years.
Methods The participants in the study were 5-year-old children with developmental delays in a mixed-age 3-5 year old class. Related data, including 3 years of child observation logs, parent counseling logs, and interview data with homeroom teachers, were collected to determine pro-social behavior and cognitive behavior. The contents were qualitatively categorized and analyzed.
Results First, in a mixed class for 3-5 year olds, developmentally delayed children improved their personal emotion control ability, interpersonal relationship formation ability, and classroom adaptation ability in terms of pro-social behavior. It has been shown that children with developmental delays improve their social behavior through activities that help younger siblings who are at a lower level than themselves. Second, children with developmental delays in mixed-age classes aged 3 to 5 showed improvements in cognitive behavior, such as interest in learning, improved cognitive learning ability, and language development. Improved pro-social behavior can be seen growing together by promoting active activities with children at various levels and supporting their cognitive development.
Conclusions As seen in the results of this study, it can be concluded that in mixed-age classes, child with developmental delays are provided with the opportunity to narrow the gap in their development level with ordinary children through social and cognitive development.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Park Jisu , Hwang Hongseop
Published: December 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study is to develop a learning environment for social studies education that incorporates drone mapping and metaverse technology to enhance the sense of immediacy in virtual geographic fieldwork.
Methods To achieve this, the first step involved conducting a quantitative and qualitative analysis of previous studies related to virtual geography exploration to understand the research trends. Following that, the components necessary for the development of a metaverse learning environment were derived. Subsequently, a prototype for a learning space designed for virtual geography exploration was developed based on these identified components. Finally, a validation process involving field teachers was used to carry out modifications and enhancements on the developed prototype, resulting in the final product.
Results According to the research findings, drone mapping facilitated the development of a metaverse space with higher qualitative standards compared to conventional 3D data. This enhancement increases the authenticity of virtual geographic fieldwork, augments opportunities for interaction, strengthens self-directed learning abilities required in future education, and provides avenues for integration into STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) curricula.
Conclusions These results demonstrate that conventional virtual geographic fieldwork can no longer remain at the level of indirect geographical observation but can evolve into a distinctive teaching and learning approach by integrating with fourth industrial revolution technologies. Furthermore, learners can enhance their deep inquiry capabilities within metaverse spaces resembling the real world, connecting with local contexts for learning and thereby contributing to the uniqueness of social studies education.
A Study on the Validation of the College Life Adaptation Screening Scale (K-CLASS)
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Hyeongkuk
Published: December 2023

Objectives Universities should not just deliver knowledge, and as higher education institutions, they are obliged to support their adaptation in various aspects, such as psychological and emotional independence of students, career preparation for the future, and improvement of expertise through study. Accordingly, universities should actively promote the improvement of related systems, program development, and operation based on the current status and analysis to support students' adaptation to college. From this point of view, this study aims to validate the scale and verify its reliability and validity based on a preliminary screening survey tool developed through prior research(Lee Hyeong-guk, 2022) to develop a Korean College Life Adaptation Screening Scale(K-CASS) that can be used in the actual university field.
Methods Based on previous studies (Lee Hyeong-guk, 2022), which developed a preliminary survey scale by determining the measurement method, the final question, sub-scale determination, and validity of the development scale were developed through item analysis and exploratory factor analysis.
Results As a result, a total of 70 questions were selected, including 12 academic adaptation subscales, 19 individual-emotional adaptation subscales, 16 socio-relational adaptation subscales, and 13 career adaptation subscales. In addition, statistically significant validity and reliability were confirmed.
Conclusions Through the validation of the Korean University Life Adaptation Screening Scale(K-CASS) developed through this study, students can easily check their adaptation level and understand what help is needed, and it is expected to be used as a practical research tool.
A qualitative research on the educational practice experience of non-college of education students
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Jung Hyung-Soo
Published: December 2023

Objectives This study attempted to examine the experiences of educational practice and meanings of pre-service teachers who were not from the College of Education, which had a large proportion in the teacher training process but lacked interest.
Methods To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted with five pre-service teachers who are currently completing teaching courses to become teachers after graduating from college, not from the College of Education at University A in Seoul.
Results The study participants evaluated their career and simulated instruction focusing on interaction with students rather than a broad perspective on the overall teaching profession. And they were embarrassed to see the unexpected school field due to a lack of sufficient learning and experience in the teaching process, and negatively perceived theory-oriented teaching subjects. In addition, the study participants were not from the College of Education, so they overcame the problem by themselves because they did not have colleagues or advisors to help them with the problem that occurred in the process of completing the teaching process. And in the difficult process of completing the major and teaching profession together, the study participants recognized that they were not an expert in both the major and teaching profession. However, the background that the study participants were not a college of education served as an opportunity to cherish students more in the educational practice process, and they also had a positive experience in which major knowledge became their own specialty.
Conclusions Based on these research results, the meaning of educational practice experience was discussed, and implications for improving educational practice and teaching completion process were proposed.
The Effects of Hostile Attribution Bias and Negative Urgency on Reactive Aggression: The Mediation Effect of Anger Rumination
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Yiseul , Park Kee-Hwan
Published: December 2023

Objectives The purposes of this study were to investigate the mediation role of anger rumination between hostile attribution bias and reactive aggression as well as negative urgency and reactive aggression. Through this, we tried to establish an empirical basis for intervening in anger rumination to reduce reactive aggression.
Methods For this purpose, 449 adults who live in Republic of Korea completed Attribution and Self-Target perception, Urgency, Premeditation, Perseverance, Sensation seeking, Positive urgency(UPPS-P), Korean version of Anger Rumination Scale(K-ARS), Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire(RPQ). After that, structural equation analysis was conducted to confirm the mediating effect of anger rumination in their relationship between hostile bias attribution, negative urgency, and reactive aggression.
Results The study found that there were statistically significant positive correlations among hostile attribution bias, negative urgency, anger rumination, reactive aggression. Another founding was that anger rumination fully mediated the relationship between hostile attribution bias and reactive aggression. Also anger rumination partially mediated the relationship between negative urgency and reactive aggression.
Conclusions These results suggest that the higher hostile attribution bias and negative urgency, the more angry rumination, and the higher anger rumination, the more reactive aggression may increase. However, since both hostile attribution bias and negative urgency are regarded as characteristic variables formed over a long period of time, it can take a long time to directly intervene and change. Therefore, in order to reduce reactive aggression, it may be helpful to intervene in anger rumination, which is regarded as a relatively state variable.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Park Jungha
Published: December 2023

Objectives This study suggests the strategy of scaffolding for learners who are beginners in Korean language as a foreign language and aims to use meaningful teaching and learning strategies in Korean beginner’s reading classes in the future.
Methods To this end, many prior studies related to reading strategy and scaffolding were first considered. Based on the fact that scaffolding strategy research in Korean reading education as a foreign language was not conducted, theoretical background was considered to present scaffolding strategies which are necessary and appropriate for Korean beginner reading classes.
Results Based on Kim (2005)'s direct scaffolding structure and strategy, this study reconstructed four scaffolding types: explaining; demonstrating; giving hints; asking questions. Newly reorganized settings and examples were also presented based upon Choi (2003).
Conclusions The contributions of this research are presented as follows: (1) the need for scaffolding in beginner Korean reading as a foreign language was mentioned; (2) the scaffolding type in beginner Korean reading as a foreign language was newly reconstructed and presented, unlike the existing scaffolding type in reading education.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lim Soonjeung , Lim Hyunsoo
Published: December 2023

Objectives The objective of this study was to examine the perceptions and attitudes of undergraduate French language majors about neural machine translation through a survey.
Methods The study involved students enrolled in courses such as “French Literature and Translation” and “Advanced French Composition 2” at a university in Seoul. Over the course of a semester, students actively participated in translation and composition exercises aided by machine translation technology and draw up Integrated Problem and Decision Reporting (IPDR) detailing the use of machine translation for problem-solving in the translation process. Subsequently, a survey was conducted to assess the participants' perceptions and attitudes toward machine translation.
Results The participants exhibited highly positive responses towards the effectiveness and convenience of using machine translation for learning, highlighting benefits such as time-saving and enhanced learning outcomes. However, the participants displayed a flexible attitude toward the machine-generated results and modified them instead of accepting unconditionally. While statistical analysis did not reveal significant differences in perception and attitude based on enrolled courses or grades, open-ended responses indicated that high-achieving students emphasized the learning benefits and effectiveness of machine translation, whereas lower-achieving students focused on its convenience, particularly in terms of time-saving.
Conclusions With the increasing integration of machine translation into foreign language education, understanding how French language majors perceive machine translation can aid educators in devising teaching methods and learning strategies that optimize efficient and effective learning outcomes. This study contributes to the exploration of using machine translation as a tool to enhance language learning.
Development of Teaching and Learning Model for Systematic Convergence of Artificial Intelligence and Science Subjects
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Ju-Young , Kim Kwihoon , Kang Seong-Joo
Published: December 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study is to develop a teaching-learning model that is the basis for designing and implementing teaching-learning for the systematic convergence of artificial intelligence and science subjects.
Methods Richey and Klein (2007)'s design and development research method was applied to develop a teaching-learning model for learning that combines science and artificial intelligence modeling and to review its validity. Implications were drawn through comparison and analysis of modeling, a common learning element of the subject, and a teaching and learning model was developed based on this. The teaching-learning model was revised and supplemented several times by reflecting expert review opinions.
Results In the teaching-learning model, learning is performed on K (knowledge), M (modeling), and B (personality) elements. Through the implementation of the teaching-learning model, an integrated teaching-learning design considering the characteristics of science and artificial intelligence subjects is possible. Because it was developed by reflecting the implications of in-depth comparison and analysis of science and artificial intelligence modeling, effective modeling learning can be executed. Modeling learning applied with the teaching-learning model can be used as a support strategy to solve the difficulties of existing science modeling teaching-learning. First, through teaching and learning to which converged modeling is applied, learners can participate in the entire modeling process relatively easily and conveniently, providing an opportunity to change the perception that the modeling process is difficult. Second, the use of artificial intelligence models and modeling results will be a specific support strategy that can support learners' thinking expression and hypothesis generation, which are pointed out as the biggest difficulty for learners in the process of model construction.
Conclusions This study provides teaching-learning procedures, activities, detailed strategies, and examples necessary for teaching-learning situations for the effective design and implementation of science and artificial intelligence convergence education. Because of this, it is possible to clearly reveal how science and artificial intelligence convergence education can actually be done in the field. In addition, it is expected that it will be able to present a blueprint that can overlook the entire process of class design and execution for science and artificial intelligence convergence education.
The Parallel Multiple Mediation Effect of Self-directed Learning Ability and Classroom Climate on the Relationship between Constructivist Leadership of Elementary School Teachers and Students’ Class Participation
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Jung Jinwook
Published: December 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of constructivist leadership by examining how elementary school teachers' constructivist leadership affects class participation mediated self-directed learning ability and classroom climate.
Methods For this purpose a survey was conducted on 286 elementary school students. The data obtained through the survey were analyzed in the following way. First, normality was confirmed through descriptive statistical analysis. Second, Cronbach's α coefficient was calculated and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to analyze the reliability and validity of the instrument. Third, structural equation model analysis was performed using the AMOS program. Fourth, in order to verify the significance of parallel multiple mediating effects, bootstrap using phantom variables was performed.
Results First, the structural relationship of the research model was fit. Second, it was confirmed that self-directed learning ability and classroom climate each had a significant mediating effect in the relationship between the teacher's constructivist leadership and student’s class participation.
Conclusions It was empirically confirmed that the constructivist leadership of elementary school teachers is effective in increasing class participation emphasized in constructivist through the mediation of students' self-directed learning ability and class climate. Teachers influence students not only in the teaching, but also in other educational activities such as guidance, and classroom management, so they need a theory that can guide them in how to apply constructivist in each of these areas. Constructivist leadership explains how to exert influence not only in teaching but also in life guidance and classroom management, so it is expected to be a good leadership theory that can provide help to teachers who want to apply constructivist education.
Ａ Study on the indirect quotations with ‘-deo-’
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, PENG YILIN
Published: December 2023

Objectives This paper revealed the grammatical constraints of the indirect quotation of ‘-deorago ha-’ and ‘-deonyago ha-’ and their usage patterns through comparison with ‘-dago ha-’ and ‘-nyago ha-’ without ‘-deo-’ written in the embedded sentences.
Methods Extracting the sentences of ‘-deorago ha-’ and ‘-deonyago ha-’ and looked at combinations with prefinal ending, frequency of use and grammaticalization aspect.
Results We reviewed prior descriptions and existing research on the content, extracted relevant examples, and presented the following content. First of all, there is a grammatical constraint in which the prefinal ending ‘-get-’ cannot be combined in the quoted verb in ‘-deorago ha-’. The second is the tendency that ‘-deo-’ rarely binds to the quoted verbs of ‘-deorago ha-’ and ‘-deonyago ha-’. Also, in the indirect quotation ‘-dago hanikka-’, there are cases where ‘-go ha-’ is abbreviated and the two endings ‘-da’ and ‘-nikka’ are directly combined, which is called ‘ending compounds’. And the frequency of use of ending compounds corresponding to ‘-deorago ha-’ and ‘-deonyago ha-’ was much lower than that of ‘-dago ha-’ and ‘-nyago ha-’. Meanwhile, ending compounds including ‘-danikka’, which is abbreviated from the ‘-dago ha-’ construction, can be used as an ending as well as ‘quotation’. However, in the case of ‘-deorago ha-’ and ‘-deonyago ha-’, the grammaticalized end combination other than ‘-deorani’ and ‘-deoranikka’ is not identified.
Conclusions It is easy to think that ‘-deorago ha-’ and ‘-deonyago ha-’ have only semantic differences due to ‘-dago ha-’ and ‘-nyago ha-’. But as described above, there are differences in grammatical constraints, frequency of use of the ending compounds and grammaticalization. And by revealing the identity, indirect quotations with ‘-deo-’ can be described more accurately.
A Narrative Inquiry of Health Teachers' Experience in Practicing Sexuality Education from Gender Equality Perspective
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Geumhwa , Lee Jongyeun
Published: December 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study was to conduct a narrative inquiry into the motivations for practicing sexuality education provided by health teachers and the various practice experiences of sexuality education from a gender equality perspective.
Methods Six health teachers who practice sexuality education from a gender equality perspective were selected as participants in this study. By collecting stories about their experience in practicing sexuality education from a gender equality perspective and going through the process of reexamining the research purpose and research puzzle, the intermediate text was processed based on the three axes of narrative inquiry: temporality, sociality, and space (place). The intermediate text was interpreted and analyzed with evidences based on the perspective of the research puzzle and previous research and theory and presented as a research text.
Results The meaning of the health teacher's experience of practicing sexuality education from a gender equality perspective was derived by classifying it into three dimensions: personal justification, practical justification, and social justification. First, in terms of personal justification, it was derived as ‘awareness of gender inequality and growth gained from it’, ‘self-reflection and internalization of gender equality perspective’, and ‘establishing teacher identity as a minority in school space’. Second, in terms of practical justification, it was derived as ‘approaching everyday life as unfamiliar and making gender equality a habit’, ‘expanding the perspective of gender equality to the periphery’, and ‘changing perception of feminism’. Third, in the social justification dimension, it was derived as ‘implications of the implementation process for generalization of gender equality education’, ‘desire to improve structure for efficient practice of gender equality education’, and ‘clarification of support for gender equality education policy’.
Conclusions This study about the current state of sexuality education from a gender equality perspective provides meaningful data to prepare practical support measures, suggests new practice and processes to solve problems in school sexuality education, and contributes to find the alternatives for various changes in the sexuality education field in the future.
A Study on the Usage Aspect of Sentence Ending Expression ‘-eultende’ of Chinese-speaking Korean Learners: Focusing on the meaning of ‘regret’, ‘sorry’,and ‘worry’
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Chang Ya-Han
Published: December 2023

Objectives The purposes of this study were to investigate Chinese-speaking learners’ usage and perception of ’-eultende’, which is used at the end of the sentence, and compared them with the usage and perception of native speakers.
Methods First, we looked at the explanation of ‘-eultende’ appearing in dictionaries, grammar books, Korean textbooks, and papers. Next, analyze the usage of ‘-eultende’, which is used in the ending position in the learner corpus of the National Institute of the Korean Language. Last, reveal the usage and the perception patterns of ‘-eultende’, which is used in the ending position of the Chinese learners’ usage through a survey.
Results The result shows that first, Chinese-speaking learners could discriminate the semantic functions of ‘regret’ and ‘regret’ of ‘-eultende’. Second, we found that some Chinese-speaking learners confused expressions of regret and expressions of hope. In particular, in the fill-in-the-blank question, Chinese learners responded with the expression ‘-(었/았/였)으면 좋겠다’which is known as expression of ‘hope’, in a situation expressing ‘regret’, and showed a higher usage rate than native speakers. In addition, we also found that there were some Chinese-speaking learners regarded ‘-eultende’ as the speaker's ‘hope’ or ‘wish’ and ‘-(었/았/였)으면 좋겠다’ as ​​the speaker's ‘regret’. Third, it was shown that in a situation expressing ‘worry’, native speakers preferred ‘-eultende’ more than Chinese-speaking learners. Fourth, problems with tense and honorifics were found in the responses of Chinese-speaking learners.
Conclusions In conclusion, first, the situation that Chinese language learners consider ‘-eultende’ as the speaker's ‘hope’ or ‘wish’ and ‘-(었/았/였)으면 좋겠다’ as ​​the speaker's ‘regret’ raised the topic of the need for a comparative study of regret expressions for Chinese learners in Korean language education, and a study of discourse and pragmatic discrimination between expressions of regret and hope. Second, it is thought that the factor of the textbook is also an important cause that Chinese learners are not accustomed to using -eultende’, which indicates ‘worry’. At the same time, this also raised the topic of the necessity of integrating the presentation form and explanation of ‘-eultende’.
The quartic Blochnium: an anharmonic quasicharge superconducting qubit
Authors: Chirolli Luca , Carrega Matteo , Giazotto Francesco
Published: December 2023

The quasicharge superconducting qubit realizes the dual of the transmon and shows strong robustness to flux and charge fluctuations thanks to a very large inductance closed on a Josephson junction. At the same time, a weak anharmonicity of the spectrum is inherited from the parent transmon, that introduces leakage errors and is prone to frequency crowding in multi-qubit setups. We propose a novel design that employs a quartic superinductor and confers a good degree of anharmonicity to the spectrum. The quartic regime is achieved through a properly designed chain of Josephson junction loops that shows minimal quantum fluctuations without introducing a severe dependence on the external fluxes.
“Howard Fast and Soviet Writers. Article 2. “A Victim of the Most Incredible Swindle”: 1955–1959
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Shcherbinina Olga I. ,   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA)
Published: December 2023

The article reconstructs Howard Fast’s literary contacts with Soviet writers during the Khrushchev Thaw and traces the history of his painful break with the Communist movement. Based on Fast’s autobiographical books, personal correspondence, as well as articles in the Party press (Masses and Mainstream, Daily Worker), the paper demonstrates that at the beginning of 1956 the writer condemned the Stalinist regime as “bloody” and “criminal”. However, in his correspondence with the Soviet friends (Boris Izakov and Boris Polevoy) Fast tried not to enter into direct confrontation and only lamented the plight of the leftist movement in America. His Soviet friends learned about the writer’s departure from the US Communist Party from the press only in February 1957. Having every reason to believe that Fast would have informed them about such a serious step personally in a confidential manner, prominent functionaries of the Foreign Commission of the Soviet Writers’ Union became upset and furious having read Fast’s exclusive interview to Harry Schwartz, a newsman working for the New York Times. At this point Fast declared a fullfledged information war on the USSR: he accused the Soviet government of being anti- Semitic, antidemocratic and terroristic. In turn, Moscow launched a campaign to discredit Fast. After 1958, the writer was no longer mentioned in Soviet reviews, correspondence with him ceased, and all working contacts were broken off. In his post-communist period, Fast turned to the autobiographical genre, writing two books: The Naked God and Being Red, where, among other things, he provided insights into his difficult relationships with the representatives of the Soviet literary establishment. Fast’s correspondence with Boris Izakov and Boris Polevoy from the funds of the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art is published in the addendum.

Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Ibragimova Karina R.
Published: December 2023

The article provides an overview of the 30th international conference “Ezra Pound and the Legacy of The Cantos”. The conference was held at the University of Edinburgh (June 27–30, 2023). The conference was attended by researchers from fifteen countries, including scholars from the USA, China, Germany, France, South Korea, Great Britain, Russia. The forum was attended by over 60 delegates — teachers, scholars, writers, translators. The conference topics covered all aspects of the life and work of Ezra Pound, including not only the main theme of the conference — Pound's global epic The Cantos — but also addressed the study of the American poet’s early poetics, his last years, his opinions on science, politics, history, and the circle of his personal contacts. The main vectors of the conference were (1) Pound’s London years; (2) his Asian (Chinese and Japanese) studies; (3) the legacy of Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in Pound's work; (4) Pound’s image in different world cultures and literatures; (5) the methods of translation used by Pound; (6) different approaches to the analysis of The Cantos. A fruitful and heated discussion was sparked by the topic “Is there a future for Pound studies?” proposed for the roundtable discussion at the final section. One of the most important features of the conference was its focus on the study of not only Pound's poetry, but also on the poetry of contemporary authors: according to the established tradition, the closing panel of the conference was dedicated to poetry readings and subsequent discussion.
“A Well-organized Disorder”. A Look at the Spanish American Neo-baroque
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kofman Andrey F.
Published: December 2023

The article consists of two parts: theory and artistic practice. The first part examines the history of the concept of Latin American Neo-Baroque. It begins in European art history, first, when J. Burkhard characterized the Baroque as a certain period in the development of art; then, when G. Wölfflin presented the Baroque as a kind of “great style” and singled out its constitutive features; finally, when E. d’Ors formulated the theory of “eternal” styles, “classical” and “non-classical” (baroque) cyclically replacing each other. D’Ors’ concept was accepted and developed by Cuban writers J. Lezama Lima, A. Carpentier and S. Sarduy. Two factors led to the formation of the theory of Latin American Neo-Baroque. The first one is the richest layer of colonial art that developed in the Baroque style; the second one is the peculiarity of Latin American imago mundi, which from the very beginning was the opposite to rationality, system, order. The peculiarity of this imago mundi is revealed in the section “Artistic Practice. Motives”. The citations show that in Latin American literature are embodied such constants of Latin American imago mundi as chaos, predominance of curved lines, violation of European norms and mystery. The final part of the article presents an analysis of the four famous Latin American Neo-Baroque novels that reveal the poetics of this literary current on the level of imagery and motives and, most expressively, in style.
Analysis of single server repairable queueing system with many kinds of service, single working vacation and standby server
Authors: Baby Saroja , Suvitha V.
Published: December 2023

We consider a single server queueing model in which the customers arrive according to a Markovian Arrival Process (MAP). We modeled this queueing system with many kinds of service where the customers can choose any kind from the server. Each kind of service follows Phase-type (PH) distribution. We analyzed the model with breakdown, repair, single working vacation and standby server. A standby server works only when the main server is breakdown while serving the customer during a busy or vacation period. Using the matrix-geometric approach, we examined the model. A few real-world examples have been given, and several graphical and numerical examples have also been provided.

Convergências e divergências na memória social do antigo Israel
Authors: Martins Raimundo Alves
Published: December 2023

Os conceitos relativos ao que se julgam, na contemporaneidade, como sendo as definições do termo memória, são muitos e bem heterogêneos. Este artigo inicia-se, no primeiro capítulo, focando os conceitos de memória, considerando-a como um fenômeno histórico, sociocultural e religioso. Tais conceitos foram articulados por três importantes teóricos das áreas das ciências humanas e sociais. No segundo e no terceiro capítulo pretendemos apresentar, por meio de um estudo bibliográfico e de perícopes bíblicas, a notável disparidade que havia entre dois importantes memoriais israelitas, na época do Antigo Testamento: as lamentações de luto e as festas solenes. Por séculos, esses antigos memoriais se mantiveram ocupando importante espaço entre outros memoriais, e atuaram como fatores de construção e de preservação da identidade cultural e religiosa dos israelitas. Contudo, cada um deles possuía suas peculiaridades ritualísticas e simbólicas, suas características próprias e visavam propósitos diferentes. No entanto, apesar de terem diferenças significativas, as lamentações de luto e as festas solenes possuíam pontos de confluência e de aproximação entre si. Por fim, propomos contribuir para que seja estendido o interesse da sociedade atual pelos assuntos aqui abordados e, consequentemente, ela possa alcançar uma melhor compreensão destes e de outros elementos memoriais presentes na cultura e na religiosidade dos israelitas que viveram na época do Antigo Testamento.

Safety of Industrial Activity at Locomotive Depot
Authors:   Ural State University of Railway Transport, Lugaskova N.V. ,   Ural State University of Railway Transport
Published: December 2023

The main factors are considered related to influencing the environment and human health of the production activities of a locomotive depot as one of the main structural units of railway transport. It is noted that the variety of technological processes at the locomotive enterprises causes a wide range of negative consequences for the health of employees and the ecology of adjacent residential areas. Industrial emissions from the locomotive depot enterprises are related to the priority ingredient air pollutants. They have a unidirectional effect, which significantly increases the risk to human health. The main technological processes affecting the state of atmospheric air in the depot territory include rheostat testing of locomotives, drying and filling of sand into locomotives, and combustion of organic fuel in the boiler rooms. The main measures to reduce the negative impact of these processes are analyzed from the point of view of the best available technologies. The sources of air pollution in the working premises of locomotive depot enterprises are considered. It is noted that the greatest hazard to the employees of the enterprise is represented by the production areas where welding, gas-cutting and paintwork are carried out. Pollutants entering the environment from these areas lead to disruptions in the functioning of the human respiratory and circulatory systems, causing allergic, work-related and occupational diseases. Measures are proposed to bring the air in the working area to sanitary and hygienic standards. Special attention is paid to the organization of environmental control points in the areas with the largest multi-component emissions, both in the open area of the locomotive depot and in the industrial premises. This will allow to objectively and promptly assess the negative environmental effect, adjust environmental measures and as a result improve the environmental and industrial safety of the activity of this structural subdivision of the railway transport.
Assessment of Occupational Risks of Respiratory Diseases
Authors:   Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Klimova I.V.
Published: December 2023

The article discusses a new approach to assessing occupational risk by chemical factor, including a preliminary qualitative analysis of substances in two groups: carcinogens and non-carcinogens. An example of classification of substances according to the characteristics of the impact on the organs and systems of an employee is given using the example of an oil refinery, the mathematical apparatus for calculating non-carcinogenic risks from substances that affect the respiratory organs. The construction is described related to the fuzzy model with two input parameters (chemicals and suspended substances) and the output parameters. Modeling includes 4 stages: phasification; building a base of fuzzy production rules; composition using aggregation methods; dephasification. A variant of phasification of three selected parameters of personnel health risk assessment is proposed: «low», «medium», «high». In an interactive mode, the development and visualization of a fuzzy inference system for the problem being solved was carried out using graphical tools of the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox extension package for the MATLAB computer mathematics environment. Visual dependences of the output parameter on the influence of harmful non-carcinogenic substances were obtained: fuzzy output table, 3D fuzzy output surface. The proposed model can be built into the existing methodology for assessing the occupational risk of an enterprise, adapted to carcinogenic substances, or supplemented with other input parameters characterizing working conditions.

Authors: Di Meglio Fernanda
Published: December 2023

El presente artículo analiza los diversos enfoques conceptuales que abordan el papel de la universidad en la sociedad y en ese marco explora los diversos perfiles y tendencias con las que se desarrolla la vinculación en las instituciones de educación superior. Referenciados en las experiencias de algunas universidades argentinas se identifican básicamente tres perfiles de las formas que adquiere la vinculación en las universidades: el modelo tradicional de vinculación universidad-empresa, el modelo de vinculación socio-productivo y el modelo de vinculación territorial. Dichos perfiles determinan objetivos, actores con los que interactúa, forma de vínculo y prácticas de vinculación diversas.
