Published: August 2024

The model of the fundamental motivational matrix, substantiated in several publications by the authors, is analytically specified in relation to the phenomena of values and needs in the proposed article. Through an interdisciplinary study that integrates distinct approaches and achievements of philosophical anthropology, social philosophy, and social psychology, the specifics of the motivational significance of values and needs are revealed, as well as their interdependent effects within spiritual, moral, economic, and legal types of motivation. The article substantiates the direct relevance of the phenomenon of needs as a motivating factor to economic and legal types of motivation, as well as the phenomenon of values as a motivating factor to spiritual and moral types of motivation. It is emphasized that the phenomenon of values has a dominant significance and serves as a motivating factor for all types of motivation: spiritual and moral – directly; economic and legal – indirectly. An attempt is made to provide a rational interpretation of the concept of asceticism as a fundamental guideline in the implementation of a strategy for achieving harmony between the personal and natural existential principles of an individual, as well as the harmonious correlation of fundamental types of motivation in the development of social systems.
Technique and Socio-Anthropological Risks of Scientism in Modern Society
Authors:   Moscow Polytechnic University, Pluzhnikova Natalya N.
Published: August 2024

The article is devoted to analyzing the essence and role of technology in modern society. In the context of studying the essence of technology, the author turns to the study of the role of scientism, considering the development of technology as part of the dominant attitude of modern society towards scientism. The author concludes that scientism, while having obvious advantages, has a number of disadvantages. Notably, it excludes a philosophical approach to the study of technology, which, from the author’s point of view, should be based solely on socio-anthropological grounds. These grounds include the humanitarian examination of modern technologies and the risks associated with their use, as well as the evaluation of science and technology from a value-based approach. In this regard, the author addresses the specifics of the philosophical understanding of technology, which is impossible without a humanitarian expertise of the methodology of technology development, as well as philosophical reflection against the background of possible global risks associated with its use.
Anti-Immigration Agenda in the Rhetoric of European Right-Wing Populism: The Case of the “True Finns” Party
Authors:   Peter the Great Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University, Korchagin Vasiliy L.
Published: August 2024

The successful development of right-wing political parties employing populist strategies is one of the most significant phenomena in modern European political space. The relevance of this study is driven by the increasing influence of such parties on the domestic and foreign policies of European states, as well as the European Union. Since the majority of right-wing populist parties adopt anti-immigration positions, their activities can directly or indirectly affect the migration policies implemented by various actors in international relations. The “True Finns” party is a typical representative of right-wing populism, and its example allows for the examination of the role and characteristics of anti-immigrant rhetoric in the activities of right-wing populist political parties, which is the primary aim of this work. The study establishes the impact of migration crises on the emergence of the “right turn” phenomenon in European politics; determines the place of anti-immigrant rhetoric in the political agenda of the “True Finns”; examines the key proposals and demands of the party regarding changes to the migration policies of Finland and the European Union; and identifies the reasons behind the radicalization of the “True Finns” stance on immigration issues.

Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Kharchenko Konstantin V.
Published: August 2024

The article substantiates the need, in addition to using state information systems, to develop digital platforms and services on the initiative and in the interests of the local community, which will make social interaction more intensive and multi-vector, as well as harmonize spatial development in terms of smoothing out contradictions between the city and the countryside. The process of digital transformation of local communities was comprehended within the framework of the paradigm of post-non-classical rationality. Institutions of public self-government have been identified as the driving force behind the development of modern technologies in the field. Digitalization of social relations within local communities is considered in four aspects: social interaction at the everyday level, economic interaction mainly of individuals, economic interaction mainly of legal entities and financial interaction. Examples of existing and hypothetically feasible digital platforms corresponding to each of the identified types of interaction are given. It is proved that the effectiveness of social interaction within local communities in the internal circuit should be described by the term ‘intangible benefit’. At the same time, the scope of economic laws will be maintained and even expanded in the external contour, taking into account the capitalization of the natural, economic, human and social potential of the territory.

Emisi karbon dioksida (CO2) mengalami peningkatan sebesar 15 GtCO2-eq dalam rentang tahun 1990-2019. Peningkatan gas karbon dioksida di atmosfer menjadi salah satu isu lingkungan yang dapat diminimalisir melalui pemanfaatan fungsi tanaman sebagai tempat penyimpanan karbon. Mengetahui jumlah simpanan karbon pada suatu tanaman dapat menggambarkan banyaknya karbon dioksida di atmosfer yang dapat diserap oleh tanaman. Arboretum Universitas Padjadjaran (Unpad) menjadi salah satu lokasi yang berpotensi besar dalam menyimpan karbon di wilayah Sumedang, Jawa Barat. Berbagai jenis tumbuhan dibudidayakan di Arboretum Unpad dengan luas lahan sebesar 12,5 ha dan terbagi menjadi lima tipe penggunaan lahan untuk tujuan akademis. Kehadiran vegetasi pohon menawarkan jasa ekosistem yang penting dalam menyerap dan menyimpan karbon. Penelitian mengenai estimasi simpanan karbon berdasarkan tipe penggunaan lahan di arboretum belum banyak dilakukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan informasi mengenai total simpanan karbon dan menentukan tipe penggunaan lahan dengan potensi simpanan karbon terbesar di wilayah Arboretum Unpad. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan metode nondestructive sampling pada kategori pohon, pancang, dan tiang. Estimasi simpanan karbon didasarkan pada berat jenis, tinggi, dan diameter pohon yang kemudian dihitung menggunakan rumus allometrik Chave et al., (2005). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa total simpanan karbon di kawasan Arboretum Unpad sebesar 23,18 t C. Nilai simpanan karbon terbesar berada pada zona tanaman jatidiri sebesar 3,87 t C/Ha, sedangkan nilai simpanan karbon terkecil terdapat pada zona tanaman obat sebesar 0,90 t C/Ha. Perbedaan simpanan karbon tersebut dipengaruhi oleh tipe ekosistem, jenis dan komposisi vegetasi, serta biomassa pohon.

The urban solid waste (USW) emanating from the increasing urbanisation calls for concern. Integrating cart pushers into the private sector participation (PSP) may bridge the lacuna in sub-urban planning and PSP truck inefficiencies, especially in developing countries. There is a paucity of studies concerning cart pushers’ role in sub-urban and issues hindering them from achieving Sustainable Development Goals (1 and 11) in developing countries. Thus, the study seeks to appraise cart pushers’ role in Nigeria’s sub- and urban areas, investigate their challenges, and propose measures to improve the achievement of the Goals by integrating them into PSP waste management systems. The researchers utilised a qualitative approach using face-to-face interviews and observation. The study covered seven of Nigeria’s major cities, including Lagos, Kano, and Abuja. Forty semi-structured interviews were conducted. The participants include selected waste managers, NGOs in waste-related matters, cart pushers, legislators, households, environment and housing experts, and solid waste government agencies/regulators. The researchers adopted a thematic approach to analyse the collected data and presented it in a theme pattern. Findings reveal that despite the significance of cart pushers to the three pillars of sustainable development, including stimulating support for potential employment creation and sustainable cities and communities in Nigeria, they face challenges in their daily operation. The study proposed a revised USWM policy, where the informal waste sector should be embraced and recognised with specific rules and regulations. This is germane to improve achieving SDGs 1 and 11. This study holds significant implications for USWM policymakers and other stakeholders in embracing and integrating cart pushers into the formal waste collection process supported by statutory regulations to enhance practice. Also, this concept will increase employment opportunities and improve achieving Goals 1 and 11 in Nigeria.

Published: August 2024

Background and purpose

The results of calculating the turnover rate for the Indonesian Air Force in 2022, for officers reaching 17.4%, non-commissioned officers at 7%, and enlisted personnel at 3%. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of career development on turnover intention and to examine the mediating role of organizational commitment in this relationship.

Methodology

This research is research with a quantitative approach. The samples tested in this study were 270 samples of a proportion of Indonesian Air Force officers. The statistical test tool used in this research is SmartPLS 3.

Results

The research results show that career development does not affect Turnover Intention. Furthermore, career development influences organizational commitment. Research findings indicate that turnover intention is adversely affected by organizational commitment. Furthermore, it has been established that organizational commitment acts as a mediator in the association between turnover intention and career development.

Conclusion

The Indonesian Air Force needs to increase organizational Commitment to the career development activities of each Indonesian Air Force personnel in order to reduce turnover intention that can arise in each member personnel. Further research can expand the research object to other Indonesian military organizations to obtain a more general view regarding the performance of human resources in the Defense of the Republic of Indonesia.

Authors: Strava Cristian-Cosmin , Oravitan Mihaela , Avram Claudiu , Monea Dan
Published: August 2024

Childhood obesity has become a severe health problem for developing countries. Carrying out periodic screenings to identify the prevalence of obesity in a region is essential for assuring the effectiveness and efficiency of the measures adopted for preventing and combating obesity. Aim: Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of obesity of children from Timis oara, Romania, enrolled from preparatory one to fourth grade (6-11 years) as well as to assess the parent's perception of their own weight and the weight of their children. Material and methods: The present study was carried out over a period of 3 months (December 2021- February 2022), comprising a representative sample. The total number of the subjects was 385, who were children enrolled in preparatory-four classes/primary education (6-11 years; 184 girls 8.56±1.42 years; 201 boys 8.43±1.58 years) and their parents (334 mothers 38.88±4.57 years; 51 fathers 41.47±4.88 years). The research protocol consisted of applying a questionnaire and taking anthropometric measurements. Results: More than 31% of the studied children exceed the normal weight, with a percentage of 15.1% overweight and 16.1% obese. In our study there is a significant difference (x2=81.16; d=3; p< 0.0001) between the actual child's Body mass index classification and the body images chosen by the parents from the Children's Body Image Scale (CBIS). Thus, out of 120 overweight or obese cases, only 25 participants were correctly perceived. Therefore, we can state that only 20.8% of parents whose children exceed the normal weight chose a body image suitable for the child's actual weight status, therefore, perceived their children's body weight correctly. Conclusions: Summarizing the data within this study, we can conclude that one out of three primary school children in Timis oara is overweight or obese and many parents misperceived their children's weight status.
The assessment of eye-hand coordination of students during the pandemic
Authors: Făgăraș Pia Simona , Petrea Renato Gabriel , Rus Cristian Mihail
Published: August 2024

The pandemic was a difficult time for everyone, both students and teachers, and the adaptation to the online environment was different. Because physical tests for motor skills assessment were more difficult to perform, one aspect of online assessment was eye-hand coordination.

The purpose of this study is to find an alternative to the assessment of psychomotor skills (especially eye-hand coordination) in the online environment during the pandemic. For the elaboration of the study, we established the following hypotheses:

H1: There are gender differences in eye-hand coordination

H2: Instruments used in the online environment cause changes in assessment eye-hand coordination

Material and methods

The assessment was done by applying specific online tests that allowed participants to self-assess. The study was attended by 80 students (40F, 40B) from the "Sport High School Szasz Adalbert" from Targu Mures, Romania. The study was conducted during the 2020-2021 school year. The tests for eye–hand coordination were Sequence memory test, Chimp test, Aim trainer, Typing, Verbal memory, Number memory, Visual memory, and Reaction Time and which were conducted on the site www.humanbenchmark.com. Subjects participated voluntarily in this study and must submit online, by completing a table in Excel, the results of specific tests for initial and final assessment.

Results

The Excel database was exported to Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 24 I.B.M. for Windows). It included descriptive statistics of mean, standard deviation, and the frequency of occurrence expressed in absolute values or percentages. A T test for independent sample and T-test for pair sample was applied. The results obtained were significant for p-value under 0.05

Conclusion

Hypothesis H1 that there are gender differences in terms of hand-eye coordination- the obtained results deny this. Only 2 tests out of 8 showed that there are significant differences between boys and girls. In this case, we can say that the hypothesis is not confirmed. Regarding the second hypothesis H2, if there are improvements in hand-eye coordination between the two moments of the test, we can say that yes, there are, and this is confirmed in the result of both girls and boys. So the hypothesis is confirmed.

Published: August 2024

Introduction.

Hemophilia is a rare, x-linked inherited genetic disease. All types of hemophilia are characterised by a tendency to hemorrhage, which is sometimes of extreme, life-threatening severity in the absence of adequate treatment with clotting factor deficiency. Physical activity, regular training and sports help the hemophilia patient to develop basic motor skills such as coordination, flexibility, endurance and strength, keeping the musculoskeletal system in a good status.

Aim.

The present study aims to assess the outcomes of kinetotherapy and recreational sports in hemophilic arthropathy patients, using the Hemophilia Joint Health score (HJHS) and Functional Indepencence score.

Material and methods.

Thirteen male subjects aged between 13 and 61 years were selected and 23.1% were diagnosed with hemophilia B and 76.9% with hemophilia A. In our study group 38.46% of the patients received daily kinetotherapy sessions, and 61.54% of them received analgesic treatment with electrotherapy in addition to kinetotherapy. In the Medical Centre for Evaluation, Therapy, Specific Medical Education and Recovery for Children and Young People "Cristian Serban" in Buzias, patients included in this study performed different sports and recreational activities such as ping-pong and football.

Results.

The HJHS score significantly improved after therapy, from 53.07 ± 19.80 before treatment to 40.15 ± 17.37 after treatment (p<0.0001). The most affected score from HJHS was for the left knee flexion and extension loss. Only the score for extension have significantly improved (p=0.04).

Conclusions.

Incorporating physical activity and low-impact sports into the treatment plan of a hemophilia patient should be a balanced decision, taking into account the individual's specific condition, the severity of the disease, and their overall health profile.
Musik Iringan Tari Pencak Silat Rancak Takasima dalam Koreografi Idiom Baru
Authors: Rustiyanti Sri , Listiani Wanda , Ningdyah Anrilia E.M. , Dwiatmini Sriati , Suryanti Suryanti
Published: August 2024

The objective of this article is to elucidate the significance of music in complementing the choreography of the innovative Pencak Silat dance form known as Rancak Takasima. In the realm of dance performance, music plays a pivotal role as an accompaniment. While dance accompaniment music can exist independently, the reciprocal is not true – dance cannot be fully actualized without the support of accompanying music. Essentially, dance and music are inseparable counterparts, mutually enhancing and interdependent, akin to the interconnected sides of a coin. In the crafting of a dance performance, the presence of dance accompaniment, specifically in the form of musical compositions, serves as a crucial catalyst. This concept is referred to as external music, encompassing instruments like percussion, strings, and wind instruments employed as accompaniment in dance. In contrast, internal music entails sounds not generated by instrumental music but rather emanating from the dancer or performer, such as vocals, rhythmic footwork, finger snaps, chest and thigh percussion, hand claps, elbow taps, and the use of galembong (a patting technique on wide-legged pants). This research used a qualitative method with a dance ethnographic approach model. This technique research collected data through diverse methods such as observation, demonstration, interviews, and documentation during creating the creative process of choreographing the new idiom of Rancak Takasima. The development of dance accompaniment music and choreography unfolds gradually, originating from initially abstract ideas and taking visual form through Seni Pencak movements and the musicality crafted by the internal body's dancers themselves and using sound of  'serut bambu' props. The research outcomes showcase the Seni Pencak dance accompaniment music model as a valuable contribution to the evolution of Pencak Silat Nusantara dance. This particular dance accompaniment music model integrates seamlessly into the new idiom's choreography, featuring the distinctive ‘serut bambu’ property that generates the accompanying dance music. This research result conducted under Penelitian Terapan Jalur Hilirisasi (PTJH) scheme. For those interested in learning more, the dance accompaniment music and Seni Pencak choreography of Rancak Takasima can be easily accessed through the website https://www.dayaversapasua.tech.

Published: August 2024

Objective: Estimate the nutrient input from aquaculture in the São Camilo River micro-watershed using geotechnological tools.
 
Theoretical Framework: The municipalities that share the São Camilo River micro-watershed stand out in fish production. Nitrogen and phosphorus are the principal waste products from fish farming that affect water quality in rivers. Open access geotechnologies make it possible to produce maps and documents that help in the sustainable planning of the use of natural resources in river micro-watersheds.
 
Method: Qualitative exploratory methodology for fish production in the municipalities. Mapping of physical and natural resources and excavated ponds using geotechnologies to estimate the nutrient input from fish farming.
 
Results and Discussion: The São Camilo River micro-watershed has morphology and morphometry favorable to aquaculture in excavated ponds. Aquaculture production in its municipalities accounted for 4.42% of all national production. The estimated daily input for the rearing phase was 976 kg of Nitrogen and 113 kg of Phosphorus. This estimate could reach 10,950 kg of Nitrogen and 2,190 kg of Phosphorus per day of harvesting, if there is no planning among the micro-watersheds.
 
Research Implications: Knowledge of the need to plan the harvesting of excavated ponds among fish farmers in the micro-watershed, and the preparation of maps and characterization of the micro-watershed.
 
Originality/Value: This paper contributes to the development of maps and important data, such as morphometric indices and estimates of nutrient inputs, which are important for the sustainable planning of fish farming in the São Camilo River micro-watershed.

Published: August 2024

Background: A midwife's fundamental care includes lowering anxiety, improving comfort, and managing labor pain. The health of the mother and fetus is adversely affected by some pharmacologic techniques for reducing labor pain. Applying ice massage to acupressure points can have a variety of benefits, including promoting energy flow there and reducing stress and discomfort by activating peripheral nerve receptors. Activating the spleen (SP6) and large intestine (L14) points reduces labor pain and alleviate anxiety. Purpose: The aim of this paper is to review the literature to identify the effect of ice massage on labor pain and anxiety at SP6 and LI4 point. Methods : A narrative review of journal articles was conducted. Databases searched were PubMed and Google Scholar. Search terms used were “ice massage”, “labor pain”, and “anxiety”. Limitations included ‘English language’and ‘published between 2000–2024. Results : Reviewed for this paper were 10 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Results were categorised using thematic analysis. Themes that emerged were labor pain and anxiety and will be explored under these themes. Conclusions : The impact of ice massage on labor discomfort and anxiety has been covered in this review of the research. Most of the research articles that were used to source this review were conducted at SP6 and LI4 stages and published in clinical trials. The results of the study showed that applying ice massage to the LI4 and SP6 sites reduced labor discomfort. A midwife may think about using ice massage as a technique to lessen anxiety. Midwives can utilize the results of this study to manage labor discomfort.

This study investigates the factors affecting Tetanus Toxoid (TT) immunization among brides-to-be in Aceh, using a mixed-method approach. Tetanus, a potentially fatal bacterial infection, poses a significant risk, particularly to maternal and neonatal health. Despite government mandates for TT immunization, uptake remains inconsistent. Quantitative data from structured questionnaires assessed respondents' knowledge, attitudes, and healthcare provider support. The qualitative component used in-depth interviews with brides-to-be, healthcare providers, and community leaders to explore contextual factors impacting TT immunization. Results showed that 92.9% of respondents were aged 20-35, indicating the importance of targeting this demographic. While 57.1% held college degrees or higher, a high unemployment rate (35.7%) suggested potential barriers to healthcare access. Misinformation, societal resistance, and religious concerns emerged as key challenges, with misconceptions about vaccine safety contributing to vaccine hesitancy. Recommendations for improving TT immunization uptake include targeted education campaigns, addressing religious and cultural concerns, and simplifying the immunization process. By implementing these strategies, public health authorities can increase TT immunization rates, leading to better maternal and neonatal health outcomes in Aceh

This study investigates reentry conditions for Mars missions, focusing on extreme anaerobic heating. This work studies poly(ether ketone ketone) (PEKK), a high-performance thermoplastics polymer, in both small-scale laboratory and simulated oxyacetylene test bed conditions to eliminate low-performing polymeric materials. Previous research demonstrated PEKK’s superior ablation performance compared to poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) and polyetherimide. The aerothermal performance of neat PEKK can be further enhanced with reinforcement materials. This work explores PEKK composite materials reinforced with additives such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon fibers (CFs), and glass fibers (GFs). The CNT-reinforced (10%wt) PEKK exhibited the highest char yield (69%wt) during thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in nitrogen, superior to the short CF-reinforced PEKK. Various CF and GF loadings (10% and 20%wt) were tested for their thermophysical and aerothermal performance. Oxyacetylene tests (OTBs) under fuel-rich conditions further validated the results. Except for 10% CF PEEK, the mass loss in OTB tests correlated with TGA and thermal diffusivity measurements. The addition of CF/GF in PEKK enhanced thermal effusivity, but it also led to significant swelling due to increased conductive flux and reduced ablated heat flux. Among the tested materials, CNT-reinforced PEKK displayed the highest char yield, lowest mass loss, and minimal swelling. The unique porous structure of CNTs minimized char expansion and erosion during the OTB tests, making a promising material for reentry flights.

The expansion of satellite constellation applications brings attention to the need for responsive, reliable satellite communication. For preflight technology assessment of missions, a simulation of two spacecraft in low Earth orbit has been created to estimate clock synchronization and precision orbit determination based on measured instrumentation performance. A novel MATLAB-based numerical simulator was developed to model spacecraft-to-spacecraft laser time-transfer and estimate the offset between the spacecraft clocks over time. This simulation includes timing errors associated with laser pulse detection, as well as non-Gaussian clock drift models. Two on-board clocks are modeled: a cesium-based chip-scale atomic clock and a rubidium-based miniature atomic clock. The positions and velocities of the spacecraft at a reference epoch and the constant coefficients of a polynomial clock model are estimated. Results compare the estimated clock model of a mission operation that only uses GPS measurements and one that uses both GPS and laser pulse time-of-flight measurements between spacecraft referenced to their on-board clocks. Including lasing measurements reduces the root-mean-square clock model error to approximately 80% of the RMS of the cases with only GPS measurements. This simulation tool can be used to optimize the lasing operations schedule based on mission timing performance objectives.
