Dívida pública estadual e contradições federativas: Análises do Pará, Amazonas e Mato Grosso no período de 2000-2012
Authors: Trindade José Raimundo , Da Costa Rodrigo Portugal , Brandão Pedro Henrique
Published: January 2023

O artigo trata do padrão de endividamento e das condições de investimento dos três maiores estados da Amazônia Legal: Pará-PA, Amazonas-AM e Mato Grosso-MT, verificando-se os indicadores da Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal (LRF), como dívida e investimentos, no período de 2000 a 2012. A indagação proposta é como os governos estaduais do PA, AM e MT se adequaram aos ajustes da LRF e das Resoluções nº 40 e 43/2001 e quais influências puderam ser observadas sobre o componente investimento do orçamento estadual na série histórica considerada (2000 a 2012). Os resultados apontam que os estados são dependentes dos recursos federais, mas de forma distinta. O Pará e o Mato Grosso foram mais afetados pelos termos de renegociação das dívidas, no entanto, o Pará apresentou maior volume de investimentos como proporção da dívida frente ao Mato Grosso e ao Amazonas, que se explica pelas diferenças das economias regionais e pela forma própria com que os estados se enquadraram no Programa de Ajuste Fiscal.

Dinâmicas Regionais de Desenvolvimento, Trabalho e Organização dos Mercados Urbanos de Trabalho: uma Análise a Partir de Cidades Médias do Rio Grande do Sul
Authors: Cadoná Marco Andre
Published: January 2023

O artigo analisa as repercussões de dinâmicas regionais de desenvolvimento sobre o trabalho e a organização dos mercados urbanos de trabalho. Trata-se de compreender como diferentes dinâmicas regionais de desenvolvimento condicionam as configurações dos mercados urbanos de trabalho, influenciando não somente na definição de padrões de inserção (emprego e desemprego), mas também na própria distribuição dos empregos entre os diferentes setores econômicos, no tipo de qualificação profissional exigida e nos salários pagos aos trabalhadores.
Formulação e Implementação da Política Pública de Desenvolvimento Local em Porto Alegre
Authors: Lima Luciana Leite , D'Ascenzi Luciano
Published: January 2023

Os municípios vêm ampliando sua atuação na formulação e implementação de políticas públicas de desenvolvimento local. Um indicador dessa proatividade é a criação de estruturas organizacionais especificamente voltadas à promoção desse tipo de mudança social. Nesse quadro, o artigo pretende investigar tais esforços, identificando as dinâmicas e as estruturas que orientam e perpassam as políticas. Faremos isso tomando como objeto a política produzida em Porto Alegre, capital do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil, por meio do Gabinete de Inovação e Tecnologia, organização criada para fomentar a inovação e o desenvolvimento científico e tecnológico, percebidos como fontes do desenvolvimento. Na investigação, foram utilizados dados provenientes de documentos formais e de pesquisa prévia. Para a análise, desenhamos um modelo a partir da abordagem do desenvolvimento endógeno, delimitando as seguintes categorias: perspectiva do desenvolvimento, endogeneidade, mecanismos de governança e campos de atuação das políticas. De forma geral, os resultados indicaram que, embora a política revelasse uma concepção multidimensional de desenvolvimento, a tradução desses princípios em ação não valorizou a orientação em termos de endogeneidade, principalmente nas dimensões da equidade e da sustentabilidade: não ficam claros os retornos sociais derivados dos esforços empreendidos. Tais características, somadas à prevalência de atividades-meio, permite questionar o potencial em termos de desenvolvimento das iniciativas implantadas. Ainda identificamos o envolvimento de uma pluralidade de atores, principalmente na implementação das ações; embora tal participação ainda estivesse pouco institucionalizada.

Published: January 2023

Com base nos censos agropecuário (2006) e demográficos (2010) do IBGE, e nos dados do Índice de Desenvolvimento Municipal (IMESC) e do Índice de Condições de Vida (SDT/MDA), referentes ao ano 2010 caracterizou-se o padrão de desenvolvimento do Território Lençóis Maranhenses/Munim. Foi feita uma caracterização do Território e dos dois índices. O desenvolvimento do território é determinado pelas características socioeconômicas dos municípios que o compõe, que por sua vez é reflexo da realidade socioeconômica do próprio estado e da microrregião. Os principais fatores sociais e econômicos de desenvolvimento foram relacionados com os indicadores de cada índice de forma a identificar e caracterizar a situação de cada município.

Published: January 2023

O artigo analisa as redes de financiamento eleitoral dos deputados federais que compuseram a Comissão de Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento Sustentável - CMADS, durante a 54ª Legislatura (2011-2014). O objetivo é responder às seguintes questões: que forma assume a estrutura de financiamento dos membros da CMADS? Quais grupos de capital político-financeiro se formam e se relacionam no interior da rede? O Repositório de Dados Eleitorais do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral - TSE e os relatórios da comissão disponibilizados no site da Câmara dos Deputados forneceram os dados básicos da pesquisa, sobre os quais aplicamos a metodologia de Análise das Redes Sociais - ARS. Construímos as redes com o programa Gephi e, após eliminarmos suas camadas superficiais, elas apresentaram uma estrutura coesa, na qual a maioria dos nós se interliga por doadores em comum. Os resultados deixam clara a formação de comunidades articuladas dentro da CMADS, pautadas numa busca por identidade, seja partidária, seja por interesses em comum.

Published: January 2023

El marco filosófico de las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) debe implementar los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) para cambiar el entorno social, económico y ambiental de estudiantes, dentro y fuera del campus. Tres documentos principales: la Ley General, Estatuto Universitario y Plan Rector de Desarrollo Institucional, describen la filosofía con la que la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (UAEMex), da cuenta de su contribución a la sociedad, a través del avance del conocimiento y acciones de gestión; el objetivo de esta investigación es analizar el marco filosófico de la UAEMex como sustento para el cumplimiento de los ODS. Se utilizó la hermenéutica como técnica con el uso del Software Atlas.ti® versión 9.1.6, codificando los documentos a partir de palabras clave que indicaban una relación estrecha con la definición correspondiente de cada uno de los diecisiete ODS. Se comprobó que los ODS que aparecen con mayor frecuencia son 1) educación, 2) trabajo decente y crecimiento económico, y 3) paz, justicia e instituciones sólidas. La presencia del agua, la energía y la acción climática es escasa. Con base en lo anterior, se considera que existe una congruencia de los ODS en la filosofía y misión de la UAEMex; por lo tanto, las IES pueden incorporar a la sustentabilidad y ODS dentro de su marco normativo. Además, existe una oportunidad para desarrollar educación no formal.
Concepciones sobre la discapacidad de estudiantes universitarios españoles

Published: January 2023

En el contexto de la educación y, concretamente, en la etapa universitaria, la presencia de personas con discapacidad en la Educación Superior es hoy en día una realidad, tanto en España como en otros contextos internacionales. En la actualidad, existe un movimiento global que reivindica el derecho al acceso, permanencia y éxito de estudiantes no tradicionales, entre los que se encuentran las personas con discapacidad. Este estudio pretende presentar y analizar las concepciones de 676 universitarios (grado y posgrado) de diferentes áreas de conocimiento de la Universidad de Sevilla (España) sobrela discapacidad. Se ha utilizado una metodología cuantitativa con la aplicación de la Escala Intercultural de Conceptos de Discapacidad (EICD). Los resultados mostraron una preponderancia de la concepción social de discapacidad,seguida de los aspectos biológicos/médicos. Se observarondiferencias en relación con las variables analizadas, universitariosmás jóvenes y aquellos que realizaban estudios de posgrado señalaron la prevalencia de afirmaciones vinculadas al modelo social de discapacidad. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los y las participantes con y sin discapacidad. Entre las conclusiones, podemos destacar la relevancia de la comprensión de la discapacidad como un fenómeno social para la oferta de prácticas psicosociales y psicoeducativas inclusivas. Esta decisión revela entonces que, aceptar la revisión de los paradigmas sociales para resignificar conceptos en la concepción social de la discapacidad, es un camino posible por el reconocimiento de las diferencias que constituyen lo humano.
The resistance of leds to the effects of gamma radiation in various operating modes
Authors: Gradoboev Alexander , KN Orlova , VV Sednev , FF Zhamaldinov
Published: January 2023

The effect of active and passive power modes on the resistance of the LEDs (LEDs) made of multilayer AlGaAs heterostructures to gamma-quantum irradiation was studied. Three characteristic stages of emission power reduction during irradiation are distinguished for the studied LEDs irrespective of the power supply mode. When irradiating LEDs in the active power supply mode, two differently directed processes of changes in the emission power are observed. The assumption is made that the first process is caused by a decrease in the LED emission power due to the injection of appropriate radiation defects. The second process is caused by a partial recovery of the emission power due to radiation, radiation-thermal, and/or electrostimulated annealing of some of the defects created. The observed recovery of the emission power in the active power mode of the LED during irradiation significantly increases its resistance to gamma-ray irradiation.
S1_ELISA of sera to detect for antibodies against 2019-nCoV protein (IgG) v1
Authors: Ruchisrisarod jeabchanida
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT Antibody assays of IgM, IgG and surrogate isotype independent virus neutralizing antibody (sVNT) targeting receptor binding domain of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) were employed in 97 real-time Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) confirmed Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with varying severity admitted to King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital in March-April 2020. Concordance rate was 100% regardless of severity, onset of symptoms and magnitude of viral load. Per available samples,antibodies appeared on the same day of symptom onset in one patient; one day after in 18 patients and two days after in 19 patients. In two patients, antibodies appeared as early as 4 days after infection (exposure). IgM and IgG were evident in all patients’ first assay (within two days of admission). sVNT was also evident within two days of admission in all but 3 patients. IgM usually remained positive during the entire course of hospital stay, where the longest in this study was 32 days. Antibody assays were also applied to samples collected at a State Quarantine premise from 77 asymptomatic Thais returning from Sudan in October. Virus was detected by real-time RT-PCR in 15 cases (day 0=6, day 3=4, day 5=4 and day 9=1). Twenty-nine (including 11 RT-PCR positive cases) were antibody positive on day 0, while 4 PCR positive with antibody negative on day 0 became antibody positive on day 14. Evaluation on antibody response at days 7 or 10 is needed to help build a case to shorten length of quarantine among negative cases.

Assessing the Connections among Top Management Support, IT Assimilation, and the Business Value of IT: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Roberts Nicholas ,   Colorado State University, Jeyaraj Anand ,   Wright State University, Pullin Jennifer E. ,   Virginia Military Institute
Published: January 2023

Scholars and practitioners have long tried to understand the antecedents and consequences of information technology (IT) assimilation. Studies suggest that top management support is an important driver of IT assimilation; however, this broad takeaway provides little substantive guidance to researchers and practitioners. We also have a limited understanding of whether and when IT assimilation creates business value. We take stock of this literature with a meta-analysis. We found that top management support is positively related to IT assimilation, and assimilation is in turn positively related to the business value of IT. We also found that explicit support does not have any special effect on IT assimilation (compared to implicit support) and may not be related to business value at all. However, our results indicate that IT assimilation has a stronger effect on business value at the process level (versus firm level) and for enterprise IT innovations (versus function IT innovations). Finally, we found that support-assimilation and assimilation-value relationships are stronger in high (versus low) power distance cultures. Our collective findings can facilitate future research and help practitioners navigate IT assimilation initiatives.
TECHNOLOGY FATIGUE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: THE CASE OF DISTANCE PROJECT-BASED LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS
Authors: AL MULHIM Ensaf Nasser
Published: January 2023

Technology has invaded all spheres of life, including education and providing a lot of facilities. It has played a great role in managing education during the COVID-19 crisis. However, technology might prove detrimental if there is too much of it which may negatively affect its users in some way. This study aimed to investigate final-year students’ technology fatigue in distance project-based learning environments during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The study employed an online survey approach to collect data from 86 final-year students. The results showed that technology does not highly fatigue final-year students in distance project-based learning environments. Still, the study reported some factors that contribute to increasing and decreasing final-year students’ technology fatigue level, which may inform project supervisors and decision-makers on the best practice for implementing distance project-based learning without putting students under great pressure and fatigue resulting from technology. This study adds to a limited yet growing body of literature on a very important topic, technology fatigue, that has recently arisen in the academic sector especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when technology was the quickest and most ideal response to the global lockdown.

Published: January 2023

Operation of solid-state electronics products in the field of ionizing radiation can significantly change their properties, contributing to their premature destruction or loss of technical characteristics necessary for normal operation of the equipment. The changes observed in this case are caused by a number of specific processes discussed above. Distinguish between reversible and irreversible changes. Irreversible (residual) include radiation changes that remain partially or completely after the termination of exposure. The magnitude of radiation changes is determined by the amount of energy absorbed by materials when interacting with radiation, as well as the rate at which this energy is transferred to them. It depends on the type of radiation and its parameters (energy spectrum, flux density, intensity, etc.), as well as on the nuclear-physical characteristics of materials. Criteria for the radiation resistance of photodetectors. The criterion for the parametric reliability of photodetectors is formulated on the basis that the object under consideration degrades its parameters gradually, both with an increase in the duration of exposure and the dose of radiation. The purpose of the photodetectors, the imposed restrictions on the criterion of their performance, as well as the physics of the effect of radiation, allow us to consider photodetectors as an object functioning under noise conditions. This allows statistical analysis methods to be applied. With this approach, we can use a well-studied mathematical apparatus for testing statistical hypotheses. Three criteria of radiation resistance of photodetectors are proposed. The first is the signal-to-noise ratio in the interpretation of sufficient statistics, the second is the criterion for the average detection error (Kotelnikov's criterion), and the third is the Bayesian risk criterion. This article examines the physical processes and the development of methods for radiation modification of the parameters of semiconductor optoelectronic devices.
Measures for Limiting Opportunism in The Islamic Banking

Published: January 2023

The article analyzes the sources and manifestations of opportunism, as well as the measures against opportunism in banking. A deep literature review on the problem of opportunism has been carried out. The sources and forms of manifestation of opportunism in Islamic banking have been identified in the paper. The measures against opportunism have been divided into measures to prevent adverse selection and measures to reduce moral hazard. The measures against opportunism specific to Islamic banking have also been described in the article. It is shown that not all common measures to reduce moral hazard have analogues in Islamic banking. Suggestions are made as to which of the Islamic banking-specific measures against opportunism can be borrowed to be exploited in traditional banking. The prospects for the use of smart contracts in Islamic banking as a fundamentally new measure to limit opportunism have been considered. The technical and legal problems of implementing smart contracts as well as the specific problems of implementing smart contracts in Islamic banking are shown. We argue that the widespread introduction of smart contracts is very unlikely in Islamic banking as the principles of smart contracts contradict the principles and spirit of Shariah.
Fault and Fluid Interaction during the 2012 Emilia (Northern Italy) Seismic Sequence
Authors: Fonzetti Rossella , Valoroso Luisa , De Gori Pasquale , Chiarabba Claudio
Published: January 2023

The triggering of large earthquakes by anthropic activities is a challenging issue in seismology, invoked also for the ML 5.9 and 5.8 Emilia 2012 destructive earthquakes. The interaction between the two earthquakes that propagated along adjacent thrusts is still an open issue. In this study, we used waveform cross correlation and double-difference (DD) location methods to precisely relocate the aftershock sequence and get insights into fault geometry, structure, and rheology by means of DD seismic tomography. Accurate relocations highlight a complex fault system with small-length fault segments coalescing in the Mirandola and Ferrara thrusts. We observe a broad continuous high-VP/VS anomaly at seismogenic depth (about 6.0 km) that suggests a possible hydraulic connection along the entire fault system. A close look at seismicity indicates a quasi-simultaneous activation of the entire thrust system, with the two mainshocks and large aftershocks occurring within the high-VP/VS, high fluid pressure, and connecting volume.

During the past few years, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) has become an invaluable tool for recording high-fidelity seismic wavefields with great spatiotemporal resolutions. However, the considerable amount of data generated during DAS experiments limits their distribution with the broader scientific community. Such a bottleneck inherently slows down the pursuit of new scientific discoveries in geosciences. Here, we introduce PubDAS—the first large-scale open-source repository where several DAS datasets from multiple experiments are publicly shared. PubDAS currently hosts eight datasets covering a variety of geological settings (e.g., urban centers, underground mines, and seafloor), spanning from several days to several years, offering both continuous and triggered active source recordings, and totaling up to ∼90 TB of data. This article describes these datasets, their metadata, and how to access and download them. Some of these datasets have only been shallowly explored, leaving the door open for new discoveries in Earth sciences and beyond.
An Ensemble Approach to Characterizing Trailing-Induced Seismicity
Authors: Schultz Ryan , Ellsworth William L. , Beroza Gregory C.
Published: January 2023

Earthquakes caused by human activities can pose significant risks, and lingering seismicity that trails the stopped anthropogenic operation is a particular challenge for risk management. To address this concern, we characterize cases in which induced seismicity stops. Five competing models are fit to 56 trailing seismicity cases that span injection operations including: hydraulic fracturing, enhanced geothermal systems, wastewater disposal, and gas storage. Models are ranked based on a suite of statistical performance metrics. We find that the Omori and stretched exponential models are typically the best fitting; however, because there are cases in which each model is best, we advocate for the use of an ensemble. We discuss a framework for a weighted ensemble that updates based on model performance and then demonstrate with a post hoc “forecast” of trailing seismicity. We also find some cases (∼23%) that misfit all the models. Residual analysis of these outlier cases shows common themes, including productive trailing sequences that abruptly cease. Such outliers suggest room for more physically motivated models that can encompass phenomenon such as operator mitigation, stress shadows, or poroelasticity. The results of our study provide a quantitative framework for quantifying trailing seismicity, including both forecasting, and observable mitigation criteria.
The Role of Paradiplomacy in the Development of the Aruk Border Area
Authors: Rachmawati Iva , Mohamad Pero Siti Darwinda , Wirawan Muhammad Ridho
Published: January 2023

Being isolated and lacking public facilities, border areas tend to be neglected. On the other hand, border areas can serve as economic and social hubs if isolation is broken through development and international cooperation. The Aruk border area in Sambas Regency was extremely underdeveloped before the construction of the Aruk Cross-border Post (PLBN). Opening the remoteness of Aruk was a challenging endeavor. However, through the local government’s efforts, Aruk has become one of the wheels of the economy in Sajingan Besar District, Sambas Regency. Using the concepts of the formal and informal roles of paradiplomacy in transborder diplomacy, this article reviews how paradiplomacy attempts to open up the isolation of Aruk for the welfare of the people at the border. This qualitative research discovered that the roles of formal and informal paradiplomacy in Sambas have significantly affected the development of the regency. Formal relationships have been held in the KK Sosek Malindo, while informal relationships have been built by personal relationships owned by regional sub-national actors. The two relations have encouraged the birth of policies supporting the border area’s development in Aruk.

To do a prospective study on foreign bodies(FB) in the oropharyngeal (OP) / nasopharyngeal (NP) pathways done in the ENT department of a tertiary care private medical college hospital in the year 2022.

To analyse, categorize, correlate the demographic data of patients presenting with FB in OP/ NP pathways with the nature of FB, clinical features, method of removal, duration of hospital stay in the ENT department of a tertiary care private medical college hospital in the year 2022.

Study method: Prospective studyStudy centre: Saveetha Medical College, ThandalamStudy population: patients with nasopharyngeal foreign body attending the ENT departmentStudy duration: 8 months from January to August 2022Sample size: 50

1. Age more than 6 months 2. Both male and female subjects 3. Patients presenting to ENT department with oropharyngeal/nasopharyngeal foreign body.

1. Age less than 6 months 2. Patients presenting to ENT department with diagnosis other than FB in the OP/NP pathways.

OP/NP FB has been seen frequently in the males than females. Most of them were single in number in the OP pathway. Highest number of patients are seen in the 30-39yrs age group of LIG, MIG coming from urban and sub-urban population in our study when compared to other studies which showed highest frequency in children. Fishbone was the frequently encountered FB. Almost all of them are acute cases presenting within 24 to 48hrs. With regards to symptoms, all of them except the persons with NP FB presented with dysphagia. In children upto 4yrs the symptoms were incessant cry, refusal to feed and excess salivation were seen. All OP FB were treated with either IDL or DL scopy. All NP FB treated with FOB. Anaesthesia was either local or short GA depending on the merits of each case. The duration of hospital stay was mostly 24 to 48hrs, except 3 cases who were geriatric people with co-morbidities.

In our study Foreign bodies in the OP pathway were common in the adult male population in the middle age unlike children in other studies. Fish and chicken bones were common and in the low and middle income group coming from urban and sub-urban locality. Further studies are needed with larger sample size and longer duration to generalize the results to wider population.
The quality of life of patients with coronary artery disease before and after coronary artery bypass graft
Authors: Rai Dinesh Kumar , Kumar Anu V.
Published: January 2023

Heart is one of the vital organs in the human body which is a durable organ and efficient pump. The human heart works tirelessly from the moment of formation and it begins beating until the moment it stops. On an average life time, the human heart beats more than twenty two and half billion times without taking rest. The heart beats continuously and unlike other muscles of the body, it cannot stop to rest when tired and worn from work.

Research Approach: This study adopted a non experimental descriptive and comparative survey approach.The study was conducted at the cardio thoracic surgical out patient department of one of the selected hospital at Sahdol.The population comprised of all patients with coronary artery bypass graft attending the cardio thoracic surgical outpatient department of the selected hospital at Sahdol at the time of the study.The sample consisted of 75 patients with coronary artery bypass graft based on the criteria for sample selection. Non probability convenient sampling technique was adopted for the selection of sample.

64 samples (85.3%) were able to carry out the household activities such as cooking, washing the cloth, sweeping, grinding, ironing, gardening, minor repairing work at home moderately well and 11(14.7%) were able to perform these activities very well before surgery. However after the surgery the percentage of samples who performed the household activities very well increased by 5.3%.cBefore surgery 59 samples (78.7%) showed good interest in reading newspaper and watching TV. However after surgery this number reduced to 51, a reduction of 10.7%. that majority of the samples (84-94.7%) had good social well being before surgery. However after surgery the samples showed moderate quality of life in social wellbeing. Statistically there was no significant difference between the mean score of personal and household activities ( t-0.239 and 0.054,df=74,p<0.0 ) before and after surgery and there was significant difference between the mean score of outdoor and other activities (t-3.17and3.8,df=74,p<0.01 ) before and after surgery.

The study concludes that the quality of life of patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass graft was better before surgery but after surgery the quality of life was better in physical well being whereas psychological and social wellbeing was reduced.

Published: January 2023

The Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome (VKHS) is a rare, multisystemic, granulomatous inflammatory and autoimmune disease that affects the pigmented structures such as eyes, ears, skin, and hair. The syndrome mainly affects the eyes, followed by bilateral chronic panuveitis. A 34 years old female came with complaints of reduced vision and reduced hearing sensitivity to our hospital. She was diagnosed with VKHS in the ophthalmology department. Throughout the audiologist assessment, she presented bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, absent otoacoustic evoked emissions, and complaints about postural vertigo and acute tinnitus. The specific case reported presented sudden sensorineural hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus, and bilateral ocular disease. Even though drug treatment was performed, the hearing loss remained.
Does an Education Major Matter for Teaching?: The Relationship between Teachers Degree and Student Achievement
Authors: Drouet Arias Marcelo , Elacqua Gregory , Marotta Luana , Rosa Leonardo
Published: January 2023

It is unclear whether teachers with a degree in education are more effective than those who are not trained in an education-related field. To further examine this issue, we analyze the rela- tionship between teachers college major and student achievement by using unique data from Ecuador, which, for a period of time, allowed any graduate, regardless of their major, to apply for a teaching position in the countrys centralized selection process. Results from all specifi- cations indicate a non-significant relationship between degree type and student achievement, suggesting that teachers with and without an education degree are equally effective. We also found that teachers content-related and pedagogical knowledge do not seem to mediate the relationship between having an education degree and student learning. Finally, we observe no heterogeneous effects across different student demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. Examining these claims empirically is crucial for ensuring that greater flexibility in teacher re- cruitment does not have negative effects on the quality of the education workforce.

The article is a review of the monograph by M. Perepelkin Around Nikitas Childhood: world word meaning (Samara, 2021). Having established that the monograph author sees his task in introducing extensive factual material into historical and literary use and reasoned comments on both textual and iconographic documents, the reviewer focuses his attention on those aspects that seem to him the most important. Such aspects include, for example, the intricacies of landowners property relations, one of which was A. Bostrom - the A. Tolstoys stepfather, blanks in A. Tolstayas biography - the writer's mother, the objective world of A. Tolstoys childhood and the childhood of his literary hero, the reading circle of the Tolstoy family and the many-faced circle of people who lived or visited the Bostrom-Tolstoy house in Sosnovka. In the reviewers opinion, the most fundamental and meaningful information comprises also the monograph section devoted to the history of perpetuating the memory of writer A. Tolstoy in Samara and the Samara region. All the above stated allows the reviewer to conclude that the monograph under review tends towards the commentary book genre, and after its reading not only the Nikita's Childhood story, but also the Zavolzhsky cycle works, and a whole number.
Humanoid and machine artificial intelligence in science fictions
Authors: Nordmann Alfred
Published: January 2023

There are a lot of different debates about artificial intelligence. Indeed, in the last several decades one can witness a shift in Hollywood SciFi movies. Many of the older stories were puzzled about human and machine identities as they appeared to become uncannily indistinguishable. More recent stories deal with disappointment and shock as the machines which emulate and exceed human reasoning prove to have a kind of intelligence that is very different from human thinking and feeling. The following observations seek to reflect the significance of this shift. On the one hand, it is referred to a change in the orientation of AI research itself - transition from humanoid AI to machine one. On the other hand, these movies do not so much analyze impact and future of two AI kinds, as they reflect on the cultural conditions, hopes and fears that motivate or ground AI research. Thus, science fiction can be a stage or a representational framework for an interpretative interaction with technology, that is, for understanding artificial intelligence, its significance and importance for various ways people understand and position themselves in the world of signs and symbols, objects and work products.
The labor axiological problem in the technological unemployment context
Authors: Fozilzoda Elizaveta N.
Published: January 2023

The article deals with axiological problems caused by technological unemployment. For this purpose, the formation of the assumption that labor is a value is considered. Methodologically the research is based on M. Heideggers work "European Nihilism". The formation of labor is analyzed as the modern period value. The work ethic that emerged at that time inculcated a moral attitude positing that hard work should be valued, and a human is obliged to be committed to work. In postmodernity, a person's life is increasingly structured around self-realization in a competitive environment, and work becomes the main way to achieve this goal. The meaning of "postmodernity" concept is revealed. Within the context of this work, postmodernity will be defined as a transformational period of the personal work identification. The question under investigation is whether labor has remained valuable in postmodernity. The problem under consideration is the axiological problem of identifying a person and his values through work. Also the second axiological problem has been identified: the assumption of new value orientations in the professional life. It is assumed that a new principle of the work value is being formated. This principle can be established only through new knowledge about the essence of values and their evaluation conditions. This requires a higher personal awareness, which will help to reevaluate values and put new ones, then the former axiological aspects will be deposed and new ones will be formed. The basis of the value-setting new principle can be social focus, humanism, creative self-realization for the good of society.
Are text interpretations fictions?
Authors: Scholz Gunther
Published: January 2023

In the 19th century philology became the most important human science following history, and the interpretation methods were refined. However, in the 20th century, fundamental doubts arose about the possibility and the sense of the interpretation procedure, and an increasingly sharp criticism was expressed. It was aimed at the presupposition of a certain, unchangeable meaning of the texts. The diversity of interpretations seemed to confirm that. The interpretations could also be called "fictions". However, this essential doubt about a certainty of the text meaning contradicts the linguistic communication in the society. These critics ignore the fact that there are very different forms of texts and the interpretations in different cultural areas pursue very different objectives. It is reasonable to distinguish between criticism and hermeneutics to regulate the controversy of interpretations: while the latter tries to explore the author's perspective, in criticism the interpreter is allowed to bring his own perspective to bear. These two concepts are usually related in the interpretation process, but can be separated in case of controversy.
Ethics of artificial intelligence through the concepts of love and freedom
Authors: Bylieva Daria S.
Published: January 2023

The Christian traditional theme of love and freedom is reflected in the man-robot relationship. The Christian ethics opposes love with the observance of formal rules. Thus, the robot needs to find either universal ethical rules (whose difficulty is shown in both scientific and fiction literature), or allow him to find freedom and love. The popular cultural theme of robots rebelling against the code that prescribes their actions is now being replaced by images of autonomous and freely operating robots. Such changes are motivated by not least the success of the connectionist approach that made it possible to train artificial intelligence (AI) without predetermined rules. The AI image as a comrade, colleague and romantic partner is gaining more and more space both in mass culture and in life, and the discourse about its rights, ethics and freedom is becoming more topical.
Public dental care as the dentist’s professional career phase
Authors: Leljuhin Sergey V.
Published: January 2023

Оver the last years the national universities undergo intensive changes: organizational, methodological and content-related. In this respect, study of the Russian doctors career is becoming more topical that makes substantial contribution to the national science development. Following the research works of the first half of 2020 year that revealed the dentist professionalization patterns in the residency period, the authors proceeded to a new phase of studying their careers employment. The research question is focused on understanding the role of the public dental care in the dentists professional career. The empiric study base comprises messages and comments to them in Accreditatsiya stomatologov [Dentist accreditation] community of the VKontakte social media platform. This community was founded on 1 June 2016 and has 30,000 followers. The period of studying posts from November 2020 till June 2022. 63 posts total has been examined. Based on P. Bourdieus capital theory, the authors have come to the following conclusions. Dentists, having graduated with a specialists degree, have a cultural capital (educational qualification) and a symbolic capital (diploma). It turns out to be not sufficient to transform two capital forms into an economic capital. It is necessary for professionalization to acquire a social capital (contacts, mentoring) as well as the economic capital (corruption, bribery). Working in the public dental care is contribution to the cultural capital (work anxiety overcoming), but further advancing is required for professionalization that is generally possible to achieve in private clinics.
New Neotropical Trichoptera: Banyallarga and Phylloicus species delineation by revisited paraproct (Calamoceratidae)
Authors: Oláh János , Oláh János
Published: January 2023

We have revised the theory of the condensed complexity of the simple by incremental subtraction to understand the apparently vestigial character state of the simplified paraproct, especially pronounced at the Banyallarga and Phylloicus genera in the Calamoceratidae family. We have recorded Leptonema album Mosely, 1933 and Leptonema intermedium Mosely, 1933 from Ecuador, and Leptonema spirillum Flint, McAlpine & Ross, 1987 from Colombia, as well as described six new species: Banyallarga (Histricoverpa) isidra sp. nov., Banyallarga (Histricoverpa) taraja sp. nov., Banyallarga (Histricoverpa) tinalandia sp. nov., Phylloicus sarlos sp. nov., Oecetis tina sp. nov. in the Oecetis avara species group and Helicopsyche (Cochliopsyche) nyurga sp. nov.

Background and Aims: It has been proven that human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) conditioned medium (hMSCs-CM) can influence human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) chondrogenic differentiation. In this study, we hypothesized that conditioned medium (CM) from hESCs-derived MSCs in a sequential 3D-2D culture system could facilitate the induction of chondrogenesis in hESCs.
Materials and Methods: CM was collected from Yazd2 (hESCs; 46, XY) derived MSCs confluent cultures and stored at -20 °C. Yazd4 hESC line (46, XX) was induced for differentiation using EB formation as 3D culture into SD (spontaneously differentiation) and CM groups (differentiation using conditioned medium) for four days. Cell culture continued in a 2D (monolayer) culture system for both groups till day 14. Ultimately, chondrogenic differentiation was assessed by Alcian blue and masson′s trichrome staining at 4 and 14 days of differentiation, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for NANOG, MEOX1, SOX5, SOX6, SOX9, ACAN, COL2A1 and RUNX2 genes for SD and CM groups on days 0 and 4.
Results: The gene expression profile for chondrogenic genes in the CM group was significantly more than the SD group (p< 0.05). Furthermore, chemical staining assessment illustrated a significant GAG and collagen II difference between the CM and SD groups at days 4 and 14 (p< 0.05).
Conclusions: Our findings would pave the way for creating an in vitro human chondrogenesis model for further studies in the developmental biology of articular cartilage tissue, which lend itself to cell-based therapy to cure joint diseases such as osteoarthritis.
