Antonyms in 19th-Century Prose: Quantitative Analysis and Its Idiostylistic Interpretation
Authors: Mukhin Mikhail Yu. ,   Ural Federal University, Ekaterinburg
Published: July 2024

This article explores the use of corpora to identify characteristic and individual authorial peculiarities in the use of antonyms in nineteenth-century prose, based on sources such as major antonym dictionaries and corpora for texts by A. P. Chekhov, F. M. Dostoevsky, I. A. Goncharov, I. S. Turgenev, and L. N. Tolstoy. The analytical unit in question is a lexical bigram, i.e. two words in a single phrase, five words apart — left or right. The selection consists of 1933 antonym pairs in context. Comparative statistical analysis has revealed the existence of antonyms used by all the authors in question, a certain “core” of Russian literary antonymy. The most ubiquitous are juxtapositions with semantics such as: alive and dead, good and evil, as well as categories of time, space and emotion. The author identifies textual preconditions for the emergence of antonymous pairs. They are reflections on complex questions of existence, human psychology, interpersonal relationships, social life, etc. Antonyms are often used to describe a person’s appearance, character and psychological state. The article identifies idiostylistic features of the use of antonyms in the works of five Russian writers. A. P. Chekhov’s works are characterised by the use of antonyms to describe emotional and physical qualities of a person. In Dostoevsky, antonymy is prominent in themes of belief and disbelief. I. A. Goncharov points to controversies in the philosophy of life, while in Frigate “Pallada” he appears as a traveller, noting contrasting or complementary qualities of different ethnic groups. Rare examples of authorial use of antonymy in Turgenev’s work support the idiostylistic importance of emotional traits. Antonymy in Tolstoy’s prose is primarily linked to social and family spheres, to the understanding of history, and to the development of the state. The article outlines further directions for research on authorial antonyms based on a wider range of material.
Perceptions of the Time of Troubles in Russian Social and Political Thought in the Late 18th — Early 19th Centuries
Authors: Ivshin Vladislav S. ,   Institute of History and Archaeology, Ural Branch of the RAS, Ekaterinburg
Published: July 2024

This article examines the changing perceptions of the Time of Troubles in Russian political culture between the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The author draws on the methods of the Cambridge school of ‘intellectual history’, represented by the works of J. Pocock and Q. Skinner, which allow the historical materials involved to be considered within the framework of the approach of ‘cultural glossaries’ and rhetorical strategies. The study focuses on debates about the ideal form of government, including historical plots of the Time of Troubles, in Russian socio-political thought of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, including those based on historical plots of the Time of Troubles. The article demonstrates that the appeal to these plots was connected with the foreign and domestic political spheres relevant to the contemporaries, and with the attempt to change the form of government in Russia or the threat of its change from outside during the Napoleonic Wars in the early nineteenth century. The analysis shows that eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Russian authors reinterpreted the historical events and personalities of the Time of Troubles using the Aristotelian glossary of forms of government. The application of this glossary to the historical themes of the Time of Troubles in Russian social and political thought effectively ‘reinvented’ the history of the Time of Troubles. In this ‘invention of the Time of Troubles’, the themes of ‘tyranny’ and ‘tyrannicide’ and speculation about the most appropriate form of government for Russia emerged. It is concluded that the emergence of these rhetorical strategies in references to the Time of Troubles played the role of historical argument and evidence in favour of the Russian monarchy for eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century authors.
Spaces of Memory: Historical Cemeteries of Ural Cities in the Context of Cultural Politics
Authors: Bugrova Ekaterina D. ,   Ural Federal University, Ekaterinburg
Published: July 2024

This article examines historical burials and memorial ensembles included in the lists of cultural heritage sites in cemeteries of the Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk and Perm regions. The role of the cemetery is considered as an important socio-cultural urban space that preserves the memory of key historical events, significant historical figures, as well as crafts characteristic of specific territories, such as Kasli casting. It is shown that the way in which cemeteries and burials are included in the lists of cultural heritage sites varies from region to region. Thus, in the Chelyabinsk Region the most significant group of “necropolitan” cultural heritage objects is formed by many burials from the Civil War; at the same time, in the Perm Region, more often than in the Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk Regions, the graves of outstanding historical figures of the region were included in the lists of these objects. The article identifies the potential for the development of cemeteries as a kind of open-air museums, an important resource for the cultural economy of cities. The author substantiates the need to include these “lieux de mémoire” (using the concept proposed by P. Nora) in the cultural policy of cities, and in particular to create guides to the Ural necropolises, continuing the traditions of pre-revolutionary reference publications on the one hand, and rethinking cemeteries as platforms that participate in the formation and consolidation in the collective memory of narratives about local identity and the era as a whole, uniting the individual and the public. It is proposed that cemeteries and memorials, as objects of cultural policy, require special accounting and the development of a special system of management and conservation due to their specific qualities.

A educação vai além de um papel formativo, não estando somente restrita a um ambiente físico, mas, sim, relacionada às interações e experiências realizadas em diferentes dimensões do desenvolvimento humano e aos diferentes cenários em que se colocam os alunos, concebendo-se como um instrumento constitutivo, informativo, construtivo, dentre muitos outros atributos que são colocados em sua conceituação. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo tem como fim o mapeamento das principais discussões e argumentos levantados sobre a dislexia, em âmbito nacional, visando fomentar o debate e interesse nos efeitos que o transtorno específico de aprendizagem pode ter na vida dos alunos acometidos e suas repercussões na efetividade do ensino brasileiro. O estudo se deu a partir de uma metodologia exploratório-descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa dos dados. Atentando-se aos critérios de inclusão e de exclusão, reuniram-se 217 trabalhos, dos quais os mesmos se intitulam: 1 monografia, 5 teses, 6 dissertações e 205 artigos contemplados para posterior revisão. A dislexia do desenvolvimento tem se revelado com alta prevalência e incidência na população se comparada à discalculia e à disortografia. Essa condição tem apresentado hereditariedade, caracterizada neurobiologicamente e com notórias relações ao gene codificador APO-B100 e ao cromossomo X, elucidando-se como um transtorno e distanciando-se de uma dificuldade, como alguns estudos intentam caracterizar, trazendo consigo um argumento de estrito déficit educacional.
MACHINE LEARNING-BASED IDENTIFICATION OF THE INTERFACE REGIONS FOR COUPLING LOCAL AND NONLOCAL MODELS
Authors: Nader Noujoud , Diehl Patrick , D'Elia Marta , Glusa Christian , Prudhomme Serge
Published: July 2024

Local-nonlocal coupling approaches provide a means to combine the computational efficiency of local models (LMs) and the accuracy of nonlocal models (NLMs). However, the coupling process can be challenging, requiring expertise to identify the interface between local and nonlocal regions. This study introduces a machine learning-based approach to automatically detect the regions in which the LM and NLM should be used in a coupling approach. This identification process takes as input the loading functions evaluated at the grid points and provides as output the selected model at those points. Training of the networks is based on datasets provided by classes of loading functions for which reference coupling configurations are computed using accurate coupled solutions, where accuracy is measured in terms of the relative error between the solution to the coupling approach
and the solution to the NLM. We study two approaches that differ from one another in terms of the data structure. The first approach, referred to as the full-domain input data approach, inputs the full load vector and outputs a full label vector. In this case, the classification process is carried out globally. The second approach consists of a window-based approach, where loads are preprocessed
and partitioned into windows and the problem is formulated as a node-wise classification approach in
which the central point of each window is treated individually. The classification problems are solved
via deep learning algorithms based on convolutional neural networks. The performance of these approaches is studied on one-dimensional numerical examples using F1-scores and accuracy metrics. In particular, it is shown that the windowing approach provides promising results, achieving an accuracy of 0.96 and an F1-score of 0.97. These results underscore the potential of the approach to automate coupling processes, leading to more accurate and computationally efficient solutions for material science applications.

Los jardines del terreiro Axé Ilê Obá son un patrimonio cultural escénico.
Authors: Queiroz Eunice Gonçalves , Cunha Junior Henrique
Published: July 2024

Los terreiros de candomblé son partes del patrimonio cultural de la población negra que son poco discutidas en la literatura sobre la ciudad de São Paulo - Capital. En la filosofía religiosa africana, la naturaleza es inseparable de la vida humana y los seres humanos han deificado a los seres de la naturaleza. Dentro de esta cultura sin hojas, el Candomblé no se procesa; y desde esta perspectiva del terreiro de la ciudad de São Paulo y la importancia del área de jardín, se organiza este artículo. Este artículo forma parte de una investigación de maestría realizada en el terreiro Axé Ilê Obá, en el barrio de Jabaquara, en la capital de São Paulo, terreiro protegido por el Consejo de Defensa del Patrimonio Histórico, Arqueológico, Artístico y Turístico del estado. de São Paulo. La ciudad de São Paulo fue construida por poblaciones negras durante el período de la esclavitud criminal, aunque en la historia sólo cristalizaron las huellas de la inmigración europea. El terreiro es entendido en escalas de memoria y ascendencia y su materialidad entre objetos, naturaleza cultivada y venerada, edificios y su inserción en el territorio urbano. Las culturas africanas desarrollaron una antigua historia de conocimiento científico que fue preservada por las religiones y transmitida a la cultura brasileña, y las habilidades culturales y profesionales de la población negra fueron en gran medida borradas debido a que la historia fue registrada únicamente por el esclavizador. Esta preposición se justifica en el sentido de rescate y explica el paisajismo en el espacio de esta cultura negra con su competencia profesional que contribuye social y ambientalmente al urbanismo de la mayor ciudad de Brasil.

Previous studies have shown that the phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 (p-rpS6) at S235/236 residues increases in iSPNs in response to haloperidol activation. This phosphorylation is cAMP/PKA dependent, which is the canonical pathway inhibited by D2R antagonism. We therefore explored whether LRRK2 inhibition interferes with this haloperidol-mediated phosphorylation event.

Rubber waste represents a significant waste stream that can be used as a substitute for natural aggregates in concrete. The main objective of this innovative study is to evaluate the effectiveness of alkali-activated mortars (AAM) incorporating recycled rubber aggregates in the development of an environmentally friendly construction material. Different replacement rates of sand with rubber particles (10%, 20%, and 30% by volume) are analysed. Rubberized alkali-activated mortars (RAAM) were produced using a combination of 10 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and a Na_2 SiO_3/NaOH ratio of 3. Additionally, the influence of three curing methods on the properties of RAAM is also examined: air drying, curing in a climate chamber, or in an oven. The properties of RAAM were evaluated through tests including the flow table test, density test, water absorption test, and compressive strength test. Furthermore, the study also assessed the cost-effectiveness and environmental impact of RAAM. This variable study is complemented by an ANOVA parametric analysis. The results show a decrease in the compressive strength and flowability of AAM proportionally to the increase in R content. Experimental and statistical analysis reveal that curing in an oven at 60°C significantly optimizes compressive strength by approximately 50.52%. It is worth noting that this curing method of RAAM has demonstrated superior economic and environmental benefits compared to OPC mortar. The study highlights the strong potential of RAAM cured at 60°C or in a humid chamber, combining mechanical performance with reduced CO_2 emissions, as a sustainable and eco-friendly solution to replace traditional concrete.

This research investigates the application of Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis in the construction industry, focusing on reinforced concrete structures. LCC analysis goes beyond initial building costs, encompassing all expenses throughout a structure's service life. Among various service life prediction models, Life-365 and DURACON are noteworthy. Life-365, a specialized computer program, predicts the life cycle cost of reinforced concrete exposed to chlorides. This paper presents a case study using Life-365 to compare the LCC of two concrete mixes, TM1 and TM2, in Mumbai, a location with conditions conducive to chloride exposure. The study uses average monthly temperatures and location-specific input parameters to evaluate the LCC of M70-grade concrete mixes with different compositions, including Fly Ash, GGBS, and Micro Silica as partial cement replacements. Results indicate that quaternary blended M70 grade concrete, incorporating supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), not only enhance durability but also offers economic benefits, reducing overall life cycle costs. These findings provide valuable insights for engineers and decision-makers, promoting durable, cost-effective, and sustainable concrete structures.

This study investigates the suitability of utilizing Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) as a repair material for concrete structures. Various SCC mixtures were formulated with different compositions, including 100% cement, 30% limestone fillers, 40% blast furnace slag, and 10% silica fume. The fresh properties, such as fluidity, deformability, and stability, were evaluated to optimize the SCC mixtures for repair applications. The mechanical properties, including compressive strength, tensile strength, and elastic modulus, were assessed and compared to vibrated ordinary concrete (VOC). Additionally, the bond strength between the SCC repair material and the existing concrete substrate was investigated using simulated repair specimens subjected to indirect tensile bond and splitting tensile bond tests. The results demonstrated the superior mechanical performance of SCC compared to VOC, with higher compressive and tensile strengths. Furthermore, the incorporation of mineral additives, such as limestone fillers, slag, and silica fume, enhanced the mechanical properties and bond strength of the SCC mixtures. The study highlights the potential advantages of using SCC over VOC for concrete repair applications, offering improved mechanical performance and adhesion characteristics.

This study examines the influence of ground motion directionality on global ductility μ_s of framed reinforced concrete structures. Suitable values of angle of attack θ, longitudinal reinforcement ratio ρ_l, dimensionless axial stress υ and mechanical ratio of transverse reinforcement ω_wd were assumed. Detailed nonlinear modeling was adopted to reproduce the behavior of reinforced concrete elements in the plastic field considering, also, the confinement effect on concrete mechanical properties. Nonlinear static simulations were carried out with the capabilities of the OpenSees code to evaluate the capacity curves and the corresponding global ductility. The results show that plastic hinges develop on the columns for the combined effect of bending moments transmitted by the beams framing into the same joint for values of the angle θ equal to 30° and 45°. Consequently, the formation of soft-storey mechanisms significantly reduces the global ductility μ_s. A design formula is proposed to avoid such collapse mechanism for framed reinforced concrete structures in ductility class high
Sports Journalists as Agents of Change: An International Academic Perspective
Authors: Bernstein Alina
Published: July 2024

Sports journalists can act as agents of change in society since they have a unique and powerful platform to influence public opinion, raise awareness, advocate for various issues through their reporting and commentary, and overall promote positive change in society. This is perhaps more obvious when looking at recent research from the Nordic countries. However, are sports journalists able to be, and do they even wish to be, agents of change in countries such as Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Spain, Germany, and Israel? Based on academic writing and interviews with media and sports scholars, this article examines the academic discourse that tries to assess to what extent sports journalism may be professionalized in a select number of countries in the European Union and the Middle East. Respondents were asked to speak about how they, as academics, perceived the extent to which sports journalists in each country have substantial autonomy from the economic and political systems and to what extent they are agents of change in their country.
An Essay on Dewey’s Criticism of Kant’s Transcendental Epistemology
Authors: Roh Cheol-Hyeon
Published: July 2024

I. Kant’s transcendental epistemology is known to suppose dualistic thinking in that it attempted to explain knowledge as a synthesis of the subject and its object in an ‘external’ relationship, and as a synthesis of Thing-in-itself and phenomenon. According to J. Dewey, in order to overcome this epistemological dualism, we must understand our reason as an organic concept, and the subject and its object must be understood as parts inseparably connected to the organism. Dewey’s experimental theory of knowledge is based on this concept of reason and explains knowledge through the activity of reason, that is, ‘inquiry’ (thinking, reflection). According to Dewey’s theory, knowledge is established in the functional relationships between ‘concepts’(hypotheses) and ‘facts’(results) as key elements of the process of inquiry, and in this case the validity of knowledge is not depend on the foundation of certainty as Thing-in-itself but on the security of those functional relationships. However, Dewey’s functionalist way of thinking falls short in correctly establishing the validity of knowledge. According to D. W. Hamlyn, the validity of knowledge cannot be explained without agreement in judgment with other peoples, and therefore agreement in forms of life is an indispensable condition for elucidating the objectivity and truth of knowledge. In light of Hamlyn’s opinion, unlike Dewey’s criticism of Kant, the transcendental concepts and Thing-in-itself in Kant’s epistemology can be reinterpreted in relation to forms of life.
A Study on the Relation of ‘Mousike’ Education and the Reason: In the Light of the Contents of Poetry
Authors: Hong Yun-Kyung
Published: July 2024

This study was designed to clarify the relation of ‘mousike’ education in the Republic of Plato and the development of Reason, focusing on the education of poetry. Mousike is composed of works of art, and is considered as the foundation of the development of reason. According to Gadamer, works of art make it possible to possess the truth, in the sense that they bring to light what is otherwise constantly hidden and withdrawn. This gives support of the argument of Plato that Mousike makes foundation of reason. However, in interpreting on the poetry of Homer, Gadamer’s theory of arts is not sufficient to explain mousike education. Plato, criticizing the poetry of Homer, insists that God isn’t the cause of all things but only of good ones. Plato’s sense of good poetry is able to arouse ‘transcendental imagination’. In virtue of it, a learner of a good poetry, instead of obsessing over the particular images in the poetry, conceive of ‘the Good’. Furthermore, a learner of Mousike is able to understand one’s life in the light of the idea of the Good. In virtue of the transcendental imagination, one is able to think of the universal beyond the particulars given by way of sensation as well as acquire the self-understanding which can recognize the ignorance of oneself. Mousike Education makes it possible for a learner to develop reason through transcendental imagination and selfunderstanding.

Published: July 2024

The study of working memory and attention of adolescents aged 16-17 years was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused additional stress due to forced isolation and reduced social contacts. The decrease in opportunities to communicate with peers was reflected in increased communication on social networks and the use of online games on the Internet, which fully corresponds to the information known in the literature. The study of working memory and attention was conducted in a group of high school students (43 people), with satisfactory and good academic performance, who had previously participated in a questionnaire to assess the characteristics of behavior in an Intern. Cognitive processes were evaluated in a computer program simulating gaming activity using a dynamic digital matrix. Students had to quickly search for numbers of different sizes located in cells, the color of which changed after each search action. The program recorded two types of errors due to choosing the wrong number when forgetting the previous choice and due to choosing the wrong number in a cell with a reduced quality of conscious attention, as well as the reaction time to the correct choice, the time of erroneous actions and the total time of the test. The task turned out to be very difficult for teenagers, as not everyone successfully coped with it the first time. The average group search time for digits is 10 seconds with the number of errors in the search equal to 50, that is, exceeding the number of changes in the matrix. Factor analysis allowed us to establish a high negative correlation of the poor quality of the task in the dynamic matrix with the time spent daily with gadgets in a virtual environment. Closer links between digital leisure time and the number of errors were found for the characteristics of working memory than for arbitrary attention.

Authors: Ortega Jiménez José Manuel
Published: July 2024

Analizamos varios documentos sobre las condiciones estipuladas para el dorado y estofado del retablo mayor del convento madrileño de Santo Tomás de Aquino. Localizadas en el Archivo Histórico Nacional, las posturas presentadas a concurso son una fuente que nos permite conocer algunas características de la máquina, así como el programa iconográfico que en ella se desarrolló. Estos documentos se cotejan con las pocas descripciones que nos han llegado sobre la estructura, todas ellas de finales del siglo XVIII. Con la información aportada por estas fuentes y, a través de ciertas evidencias estilísticas, planteamos, con cautela, el nombre de Miguel de Irazusta como posible autor de las trazas del retablo, un artista cuyas formas seguían el modelo establecido por José Benito de Churriguera en la Corte. Asimismo, este trabajo incorpora nuevos nombres a la lista de doradores que trabajaron en el Madrid de la primera mitad del siglo XVIII.

Authors: Zamira Thalia , Suharso Puji Lestari
Published: July 2024

Vocational high school students were provided with a curriculum designed to facilitate their transition into the workforce. Elicitation studies have indicated that vocational high school students experience difficulties in making career decisions. The internship program is designed to enhance students' emotional intelligence and goal commitment, thereby preventing career decision-making difficulties. This research aims to investigate the mediating effect of goal commitment in the relationship between emotional intelligence and career decision-making difficulties. This quantitative correlational research was conducted in a vocational high school in Bogor with a total of 173 participants using a self-report questionnaire of CDDQ, TEIQue-SF, and HWK Scale. Mediation analysis was processed using Hayes PROCESS. Results showed that goal commitment plays a partial mediation role in the relationship between emotional intelligence and career decision-making difficulties (c’ = -0.19, p < 0.001; c = -0.25, p < 0.001). This research will also present the limitations and suggestions for future study.
Determinant Factors of Academic Stress: A Study of First-Year University Students in Indonesia
Authors: Putra Ade Herdian , Ardi Zadrian
Published: July 2024

Academic stress can reduce academic performance in first-year university students. Based on theoretical studies and previous research, three factors are predicted to influence academic stress: academic self-efficacy, life satisfaction, and happiness. This study analyzes the correlation of academic self-efficacy, life satisfaction, and happiness with first-year university students' academic stress. This research uses a quantitative approach with correlational methods and path analysis. The participants in this research were 720 first-year university students in Indonesia. The research instruments used were the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale, Life Satisfaction Scale, Happiness Scale, and Academic Stress Scale. Research data was collected online and then analyzed using the partial-least squares-structural equation model (PLS-SEM) technique. The results of this study show that life satisfaction and happiness are negatively and significantly correlated with first-year university students' academic stress. Furthermore, this research shows that happiness is the most determinant factor for academic stress, so it acts as a mediator in the correlation of academic self-efficacy and life satisfaction with first-year university students' academic stress. These three factors must be considered to reduce first-year university students' academic stress.
