Literary-pedagogical reconstruction and theoretical analysis of teacher-student relations in the educational sphere of Russia in the early 20th century
Authors: Galyas Irina Anatolyevna , Rudenko Zhanetta Anatolyevna
Published: June 2024

The study aims to determine the role of a teacher’s personality in solving moral and pedagogical problems arising in the process of teacher-student relations in the educational sphere of Russia in the early 20th century by conducting a theoretical analysis of individual documentary fiction texts by K. G. Paustovsky in the genre of documentary prose. The paper substantiates the importance of the priority spiritual and moral principles and values of Russian pedagogy and psychology as the basis of the traditional knowledge paradigm of education, actualizes their relevance in modern Russian theory and practice. The study is original in that it is the first to reveal the role of a teacher’s personality primarily as an educator and bearer of moral universal values in the traditional knowledge paradigm of education based on K. G. Paustovsky’s documentary fiction stories about the teacher-student relations in the educational sphere of Russia in the early 20th century. In addition, the paper determines the importance of a teacher’s personal self-esteem (professional reflection) and their individual threshold of tolerance and responsibility for the process of forming the personal image of pupils, humanistic qualities and psychological characteristics of students. As a result, it was found that an essential factor of success in solving moral and psychological problems in the system of teacher-student relations in both traditional and modern humanistic paradigms of education is the personality of a teacher, their “human factor”. The professional reflection of a teacher, which is their personal self-assessment manifested in psychological, creative, moral and mental abilities at an active and interactive level to influence the spiritual world of a pupil, creates conditions for the movement of the educational process towards the creative self-expression of a student’s personality. A teacher’s ability to correctly assess and take into account students’ personal and psychological characteristics ensures the formation of conditions for pupils’ personal growth, their values and worldview orientations.

Published: June 2024

Nörolojik rahatsızlığa sahip olan bireyler, hastalıkla başa çıkabilmek için kendi hayatlarında uzman oldukları alanları kullanarak ya da farklı uygulamalar geliştirerek rahatsızlıkla uyum içerisinde yaşamaya çalışmaktadırlar. Bireyin bilinci, varlığını sürdürebilmek için sorunların üstünü örtmek adına yeni kaçış yolları üreterek rahatsızlığı kabullenmeye yol açar. Fakat bu durum kişinin sosyal davranışlarını, ruhsal durumunu ve karakterini doğrudan etkileyen bir faktör hâline gelmektedir. Nörolojik rahatsızlıklar, insan zihninin karmaşık labirentlerinde yankılanan gizemli odalardır. Oliver Sacks'ın sıradışı eseri Karısını Şapka Sanan Adam, bu labirentlerdeki derinlikleri keşfetmeye cesaret eder. Kendi hastalarından yola çıkarak kaleme alıp derlediği eserinde, bireylerin rahatsızlıklardan kaçış yollarını ya da rahatsızlıkla beraber yaşarken geliştirdikleri savunma mekanizmalarını bir edebiyatçı ve nörolog gözünden okuyucuya aktarmaktadır. Hastalar, bu labirentlerde kaybolurken, kendi dünyalarında yeni anlamlar ve savunma mekanizmaları inşa etme çabası içindedirler. Bu çalışmada insan davranışının kurgusal temsilleri nöro-roman bağlamında örnek alınarak nörolojik rahatsızlıkların etkisinde kalan hastaların gösterdikleri savunma mekanizmalarıyla yaşama uyum sağlayışı incelenecektir.

Prozodi kavramı, sözlü eserlerde sözlerin müzikle uyum sağlaması olarak tanımlanabilir. Bu uyum sözlü eserlerde, müziğin daha güçlü olarak anlatılmasına olanak sağlamakla beraber, dinleyicide bıraktığı etkiyi olumlu yönde etkilediği düşünülmektedir. Türk müziğinde prozodiye hâkim olan, bu kavrama örnek teşkil edebilecek nitelikte sözlü eser örnekleri veren bestekârlardan biri de Turhan Taşan’dır. Bestekâr, yirminci yüzyılda Türk müziğine önemli eserler kazandıran, sözlü eserlerinden dolayı birçok ödüle layık görülen, araştırmacı kimliği, yazmış olduğu kitapları ve Türkiye Radyo Televizyon Kurumu’nda musikimizin tanıtılması için yıllardır yapmış olduğu radyo programlarıyla öne çıkan önemli bestekârlardan biri olarak bilinmektedir. Bu araştırmada, bestekârın eserlerini farklı değişkenler açısından incelemek için doküman inceleme yöntemi kullanılmış, ardından bu eserlerin betimsel ver bibliyometrik analizleri yapılarak IBM SPSS Statistics 20 programı yardımıyla frekans analizleri ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Eser inceleme esnasında, bestekârın amaçlı örneklem yöntemi ile seçilmiş üç farklı formdaki (şarkı, fantezi, çocuk şarkısı) eseri, prozodi özellikleri yönünden Prozodi İnceleme Tekniği ile incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre; bestekârın herhangi bir saz eseri bestelemediği, TRT repertu-varında yer alan 118 adet sözlü eserinin, 26 adet ise söz yazarı olarak yer aldığı eserinin olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca, eserlerinde söz yazarı olarak en çok Fatoş Koçarslan ile çalıştığı, en fazla nihavend makamında eser ürettiği, usul olarak sofyan usulünü sıkça kullandığı ve form olarak da çoğunlukla fantezi formunu tercih ettiği sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Bestekârın eserlerinde 57 farklı söz yazarı, 20 farklı makam, dokuz farklı usul, üç farklı form tercih ettiği tespit edilmiştir. İncelenen eserlerde bestekârın prozodi kurallarını önemsediği, şarkı sözlerini prozodi kurallarına uygun bir şekilde işlediği ortaya çıkmıştır. Bestekâr ile ilgili bundan sonra yapılacak olan araştırmalarda, bestekârın eserlerinin form ve biçim analizi yapılması önerilmektedir.
Simulating event-related potentials in bilingual sentence comprehension: syntactic violations and syntactic transfer
Authors: Verwijmeren Stephan , Frank Stefan L. , Fitz Hartmut , Khoe Yung Han
Published: June 2024

Event-related potentials (ERPs) are used to study how lan- guage is processed in the brain, including differences between native (L1) and second-language (L2) processing. A P600 ERP effect can be measured in proficient L2 learners in response to an L2 syntactic violation, indicating native-like processing. Cross-language similarity seems to be a factor that modulates P600 effect size. This manifests in a reduced P600 effect in response to a syntactic violation in the L2 when the syntactic feature involved is expressed differently in two languages. We investigate if this reduced P600 effect can be explained by assuming that ERPs reflect learning signals that arise from mismatches in predictive processing; and in particular that the P600 reflects the error that is back-propagated through the language system (Fitz & Chang, 2019). We use a recurrent neural network model of bilingual sentence processing to simulate the P600 (as back-propagated prediction error) and have it process three types of syntactic constructions differing in cross-language similarity. Simulated English-Spanish participants displayed a P600 when encountering constructions that are similar between the two languages, but a reduced P600 for constructions that differ between languages. This difference between the two P600 responses mirrors what has been observed in human ERP studies. Unlike human participants, simulated participants showed a small P600 response to constructions unique to the L2 (i.e., grammatical gender), presum- ably because of how this grammatical feature is encoded in the model. Our modelling results shed further light on the viability of error propagation as an account of ERPs, and on the effects of syntactic transfer from L1 to L2.
Persons in Contexts: The Role of Social Networks and Social Density for the Dynamic Regulation of Face-to-face Interactions in Daily Life
Authors: Roos Yannick , Wrzus Cornelia , Krämer Michael Dominik , Richter David
Published: June 2024

Current psychological theories on daily social interactions emphasize individual differences yet are underspecified regarding contextual factors. We aim to extend this research by examining how two context factors shape social interactions in daily life: how many relationships people maintain and how densely people live together. In Study 1, 307 German participants (age M = 39.44 years, SD = 14.14) answered up to 20 experience sampling questionnaires regarding their social interactions over two days. In Study 2, 313 German participants (age M = 48.96 years, SD = 15.54) summarized their daily interactions in daily diaries for 14 days. Participants reported on their social network size and the social density (i.e., household and neighborhood density) of their living situation. Mobile sensing provided additional measures of social interactions and network size. The results showed that participants living in densely populated households transitioned faster from solitude to social interactions but slower from social interactions to solitude. Participants living in dwellings with more homes also transitioned slower from solitude to social interactions. Contrary to the hypothesis, social network size was inconsistently linked with transitions from solitude to social interactions and vice versa. Furthermore, current social desires predicted subsequent social interactions within days, but not across days—irrespective of individuals’ social network size or social density. Together the results point out that people live their daily life in social contexts, which contribute to how they engage in social interactions. The findings thus call for a greater integration of contextual factors in personality theories of social interactions.
Working memory constructs joint probabilistic task representations for decision-making
Authors: Chen Xitong , Jiang Jiefeng , Hwang Kai
Published: June 2024

The human brain has a remarkable ability in extracting and integrating relevant data for guiding actions and decisions. This capacity in part depends on working memory (WM), which maintains and manipulates task-relevant information in the service of goal-directed behavior. Theories and experimental evidence suggest that the mnemonic mechanisms of WM functions probabilistically, implying its potential to form a joint distribution for integrating multiple working memory representations. Yet, it remains an open question whether this probabilistic operation underpins the WM process in constructing task representation for guiding decisions, especially in the presence of multiple WM inputs. Our study investigates whether WM integrates multifaceted information probabilistically or deterministically. We designed a novel task requiring subjects to make decisions based on multi-dimensional WM content, with four levels of ambiguity associated with each dimension of WM features. We observed that response time and error rates increase with the cumulative ambiguity of WM representations. Through computational modeling, we found that a probabilistic model, which integrates WM uncertainty, outperformed deterministic models. This suggests that WM likely employs a probabilistic operation to integrate multiple representations, guiding decision-making.
Preschoolers represent abstract relations predicated on kind membership
Authors: Zhu Rebecca
Published: June 2024

Recent work demonstrates that U.S. preschoolers can represent the abstract relational concepts same and different when these abstract relational concepts are predicated upon perceptual dimensions (e.g., size, shape, color). The current research investigates whether preschoolers (n = 192; predominantly White, upper middle class, U.S. convenience sample) can also represent the abstract relational concepts same and different when these abstract relational concepts are predicated upon abstract dimensions (e.g., kind membership). Experiment 1 shows that, at baseline, 4-year-olds fail at a relational match-to-sample (rMTS) task with familiar kinds. However, Experiment 2 shows that 4- and 5-year-olds, but not 3-year-olds, succeed at a rMTS task with familiar kinds when provided with training involving noun labels. Experiment 3 shows that 4- and 5-year-olds also succeed at a rMTS task with novel kinds when provided with training involving noun labels but not adjective labels, suggesting that noun labels but not adjective labels cue children’s attention towards kind membership. Moreover, participants frequently provided explanations appealing to sameness and difference when justifying their responses. Taken together, these results suggest that, with training, preschoolers are capable of representing abstract relations predicated on abstract, as well as perceptual, dimensions.

Published: June 2024

In my previous work published in an acknowledged publication, titled "Factory test of a TP-100 Lithium Ion Vision Battery System for possible Implementation in Soweto, Johannesburg, South Africa," According to the findings from the study report, the TP-100 Vision Lithium-Ion battery system was found to be suitable for implementing a wind turbine system in Soweto. Furthermore, the study's findings indicated that Lithium-Ion batteries were the optimal choice for storing energy in wind turbines. These batteries provided significant total cost of ownership (TCO) reductions over a 10-year period, without the inconvenience and expenses associated with replacing lead-acid batteries. This research paper aims to validate the precision of parameters obtained from the integration of a 160 kVA Vetiv Three Phase UPS to a TP-100 Vision Lithium Ion Battery system in contrast to those obtained from the Battery Monitoring System (BMS) while using Tool BMS Version 1.3 Software. The results validation was evident as the parameters acquired from the UPS and Battery system were found to be accurate when compared to those observed through the BMS tool. Finally, utilizing the Smart Cloud Management System (SCMS), validity was shown by the ability to remotely monitor the operation of both the UPS and the Li-ion Battery system.

Published: June 2024

The study investigates the dynamic performance and energy harvesting efficiency of different cantilever configurations using numerical simulations. It examines factors such as material properties, geometrical parameters, and excitation conditions to optimize the design for enhanced energy harvesting capabilities. The research contributes to understanding how different cantilever designs affect the overall performance and efficiency of piezoelectric energy harvesters. Vibrational energy harvesters, also known as MEMS, have become popular due to their efficiency and ease of inclusion in microsystems. COMSOL Multiphysics was used to simulate six different forms of piezoelectric bimorph cantilevers for energy harvesting. Designs were analyzed, with each design having a distinct arrangement of proof masses. Design 01 had a rectangular cantilever with a proof mass connected to its top surface, Design 02 used a rectangular cantilever, Design 03 used a novel approach, Design 04 used a trapezoidal cantilever, and Design 05 preserved the trapezoidal form but moved the proof mass to the structure's base. Design 06 successfully completed the trapezoidal cantilever. The study found that design 04 had a significant advantage in power production efficiency at higher resistor values, surpassing design 01 in power output. The use of these varied designs allows for an exhaustive examination of piezoelectric bimorph cantilever configurations, potentially leading to insights that may enhance energy harvesting effectiveness in various applications.

Analyzing the Relationship Between Public Debt and Economic Growth in Nepal: An ECM Approach
Authors: Sigdel Sahadev
Published: June 2024

The complex relationship between public debt and economic growth hinges on factors like debt sustainability, investment efficiency, and fiscal policy effectiveness, where excessive debt may stifle growth, while prudent management can bolster development initiatives. This paper delves into the analysis of the connection between public debt and economic growth in Nepal, spanning from fiscal year 1990/1991 to 2021/2022. The study employs conventional Error Correction Model (ECM) techniques, utilizing both descriptive and analytical research approaches with secondary data. Over the observed period, Nepal’s GDP exhibited substantial growth, coinciding with an upsurge in total debt, hinting at a complex but generally positive connection. The regression analysis echoes this notion, emphasizing that internal and external debt can have a favorable impact on short-term GDP, but vigilance in managing high total debt levels is crucial. Nevertheless, the presence of potential autocorrelation in residuals necessitates further investigation for model refinement and policy implications. Prudent debt management in Nepal is crucial for fostering economic growth, necessitating prioritization of productive investments, fiscal discipline, and sustainable borrowing practices.

It is established that dielectric properties of given liquids are characteristic of one relaxation time. The dielectric spectra were studied taking into account other frequencies given in the literature. In all investigated liquids, a jump appears in the real and imaginary parts of the complex permittivity at the point of the phase transition. The temperature dependence of the dielectric relaxation time of molecules in the liquid state has been determined. It was found that with an increase in the amount of the halogen substituent, an increase in the relaxation time occurs. Macroscopic and molecular relaxation times were calculated from the experimental values. The thermodynamic quantities characterizing the process of dielectric relaxation are calculated. The activation enthalpy of dielectric relaxation processes is compared. The studies were carried out using the dielectric spectroscopy method. This method allows a more detailed study of the dielectric properties of the objects of study due to the large equilibrium (“static”) dielectric constant of the object. It has been determined that the height of the potential barrier separating the two equilibrium positions of a polar molecule is greatest in the state of a pure polar liquid and decreases with dilution in a non-polar solvent.

To increase the energy efficiency of wind turbines, it is necessary to optimize and improve the shape and size of power elements. In this work, in order to improve the output energy indicators, as well as increase the lifting force, a combined blade in the form of a rotating cylinder and a fixed blade was created and numerically studied. The novelty of the work lies in obtaining the results of the influence of a fixed angle of inclination of the blade on the overall aerodynamic characteristics of the entire combined blade at wind speeds from 3 to 12 m/s. Based on three-dimensional modeling, 4 variants of the combined blade with different angles of location are designed. Three-dimensional patterns of the distribution of velocity vectors and pressure fields are obtained. Linear graphs of the dependence of aerodynamic coefficients on the Reynolds number are shown. It was found that at an angle of 0 degrees, the combined blade has a maximum lift coefficient of 10 and a minimum drag coefficient of 4.5 at Reynolds 1·104. The numerical results obtained will be useful in the development of wind power plants with combined blades operating on the basis of Magnus.

Intensive farming has caused soil degradation, including the loss of humus, soil structure breakdown, compaction, and a decrease in both potential and effective fertility. Therefore, research into farming systems is highly relevant. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to scientifically substantiate, develop, and implement an ecologically friendly modern farming system under Ukrainian conditions. The primary methods used to determine the effectiveness of various farming systems and ensure the accuracy and reliability of experimental data were field, laboratory, and statistical methods. The study substantiated that an industrial farming system with the input of approximately 12.0 tonnes per hectare of crop rotation area of organic matter (8.0 tonnes per hectare of manure and 4.0 tonnes per hectare of plant residues) produces about 0.81 tonnes per hectare of humus, although 1.33 tonnes per hectare of it is mineralised, leading to a negative humus balance in the soil. The output of grain units in this system is 8.21 tonnes per hectare, feed units – 9.63, and digestible protein – 0.86 tonnes per hectare, with stability at 91.2% and profitability at 88.0%. The organic farming system, which includes the use of 24 tonnes per hectare of organic fertilisers and biological products to control weeds, diseases, and pests in agrocenoses, does not ensure a positive humus balance in the soil (-0.14 tonnes per hectare) and has significantly lower productivity. The no-till system, which involves the application of 12 tonnes per hectare of organic fertilisers in the form of root and stubble residues, by-products of crop production, and mineral fertilisers during sowing and foliar feeding, ensures a positive humus balance (+0.12 tonnes per hectare) but has productivity levels comparable to the organic system. The ecological system provides stable, economically viable, and resource-adequate productivity of arable land, enhances the quality indicators of products, and preserves and restores soil fertility. It increased the output of grain units by 8.9%, feed units by 7.2%, and digestible protein by 8.1%, ensuring high stability at 94.1% and an increase in production profitability by 8.5% compared to the control. The materials in this study are of practical value for agricultural enterprises of various ownership forms and will serve as technological guidelines for the implementation of modern, ecologically safe, economically and energetically justified agricultural production

Water is a natural resource that is very necessary for the life of many people. Good water is water that meets the requirements of physics, microbiology, chemistry. Chemically there is no water in the form of chemicals Arsenic, Iron, chloride, and hardness in the form of CaCO3. Hardness is a condition with excessive lime content in the water. Hardness with high concentrations consumed in the long term can be detrimental to health. Several factors that interfere with residents' wells are the presence of white sediment in the water which causes public health problems, and the frequent blockage of the pipeline used. The method used is the complexometric method, this kind of research is descriptive in nature. The results of checking the well water obtained Ca levels, namely 100 ppm and Mg, namely 61.44 ppm, while the results of checking tap water with Ca kadae were 150.2 ppm and Mg levels were 75.80 ppm. From the results of this study it can be concluded that well water and pump water can be used for consumption because they have a low hardness value.

The use of PLTS electrical energy is still hampered by the condition of the batteries which are often damaged. If the PLTS battery capacity is unable to support the load or is empty, then the electricity must be immediately transferred to the PLN source. Because these frequent delays cause PLTS batteries to quickly become damaged. Therefore, automatic control uses the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) to optimize the use of green energy in Langgar and increase solar cell power to become Langgar's main electricity source. It is hoped that this service activity can become a pilot project for independent energy sources for places of worship in wetland environmental areas. The implementing team has accommodated the activity targets set by LPPM in the form of optimizing TTG and renewable energy. Based on the survey results, understanding about socialization and education on the application of ATS in PLTS increased by 73%.
