Published: March 2020

Understanding and managing consumer's complaint behavior (CCB) is incredibly essential in the competitive business environment. This paper aims to investigate whether male and female millennial consumers differed in their complaint behavior and its aftermath. The study examines the moderation effect of gender on millennial's complaint behavior. The researchers distributed a total of 430 questionnaires to millennial consumers who have experienced a dissatisfaction episode within 12 months. The results show that gender was significantly associated with millennial's complaint behavior. These findings are generic across sex-type. This paper discusses the theoretical and managerial implications of the findings.Keywords: Millennials; complaint behavior; gender; sex-typeeISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020. The Authors.

Published: March 2020

Walking has significantly contributed to a lower carbon emission of a country. With the aspiration of a lesser carbon footprint zone, the initiatives of understanding the current pedestrian system are crucial. Although walking improves green mobility, it is still known as the least preferred mode. Thus, this study aims to improve pedestrian walkways and promote a higher level of usage of pedestrian walkways by analyzing the critical factors contributing to the lower carbon footprint among the urban dwellers. The results will help to improve a lower carbon footprint practice in the metropolitan area.Keywords: Pedestrian,Friendly,Low Carbon,SatisfactioneISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020. The Authors.

The energy characteristics of carbyne-containing films on copper and silicon substrates have been studied using the methods of optically stimulated electron emission (OSEE) and ambient pressure photoemission spectroscopy (APS). The average contact potential difference and the work function were determined, and the positions of the Fermi level for carbonaceous films of various thicknesses were calculated. It was found that the electron work function and the position of the Fermi level of the studied film samples are independent of the film thickness and the type of substrate. The information capabilities of the OSEE and APS methods for assessing the quality of carbon coatings on various substrates are shown.

Published: March 2020

Продемонстрировано формирование SiC-мезаструктур с пологими боковыми стенками с помощью селективного реактивно-ионного травления (Reactive Ion Etching, RIE) карбида кремния через маску из фоторезиста (наклонные стенки сформированы при одновременном травлении SiC и резистивной маски, край которой имеет форму острого клина). Простая геометрическая модель травления предсказывает, что результирующий угол наклона стенки мезаструктуры должен задаваться двумя параметрами --- исходным углом резистивного клина и селективностью травления SiC по отношению к фоторезисту (отношением скоростей травления SiC и фоторезиста). Для экспериментов использовались полированные пластины 4H-SiC с ориентацией (0001). На Si-стороне пластин фотолитографическими методами были нанесены площадки из фоторезиста с краевым углом 22o. Затем проводилось травление мезаструктур в трифториде азота в установке с индуктивно-связанной плазмой. Были подобраны параметры RIE-процесса, обеспечивающие травление SiC и фоторезиста со скоростями 55 и 160 nm/min соответственно (селективность травления 1:3). Сформированные травлением SiC-мезаструктуры имеют высоту 3.2 μm и пологие боковые стенки с углом наклона около 8o. Данная технология может использоваться при изготовлении высоковольтных SiC-приборов с прямой фаской. Ключевые слова: карбид кремния, мезаструктура, наклонные стенки, фотолитография, реактивно-ионное травление.

Influences on the Uptake of and Engagement With Health and Well-Being Smartphone Apps: Systematic Review
Authors: Szinay Dorothy , Jones Andy , Chadborn Tim , Brown Jamie , Naughton Felix
Published: March 2020

Background

The public health impact of health and well-being digital interventions is dependent upon sufficient real-world uptake and engagement. Uptake is currently largely dependent on popularity indicators (eg, ranking and user ratings on app stores), which may not correspond with effectiveness, and rapid disengagement is common. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify factors that influence uptake and engagement with health and well-being apps to inform new approaches that promote the effective use of such tools.

Objective

This review aimed to understand what is known about influences on the uptake of and engagement with health and well-being smartphone apps among adults.

Methods

We conducted a systematic review of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies. Studies conducted on adults were included if they focused on health and well-being smartphone apps reporting on uptake and engagement behavior. Studies identified through a systematic search in Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, or MEDLARS Online (MEDLINE), EMBASE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PsychINFO, Scopus, Cochrane library databases, DataBase systems and Logic Programming (DBLP), and Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Digital library were screened, with a proportion screened independently by 2 authors. Data synthesis and interpretation were undertaken using a deductive iterative process. External validity checking was undertaken by an independent researcher. A narrative synthesis of the findings was structured around the components of the capability, opportunity, motivation, behavior change model and the theoretical domains framework (TDF).

Results

Of the 7640 identified studies, 41 were included in the review. Factors related to uptake (U), engagement (E), or both (B) were identified. Under capability, the main factors identified were app literacy skills (B), app awareness (U), available user guidance (B), health information (E), statistical information on progress (E), well-designed reminders (E), features to reduce cognitive load (E), and self-monitoring features (E). Availability at low cost (U), positive tone, and personalization (E) were identified as physical opportunity factors, whereas recommendations for health and well-being apps (U), embedded health professional support (E), and social networking (E) possibilities were social opportunity factors. Finally, the motivation factors included positive feedback (E), available rewards (E), goal setting (E), and the perceived utility of the app (E).

Conclusions

Across a wide range of populations and behaviors, 26 factors relating to capability, opportunity, and motivation appear to influence the uptake of and engagement with health and well-being smartphone apps. Our recommendations may help app developers, health app portal developers, and policy makers in the optimization of health and well-being apps.
Más que humanos: el robot en la ciencia ficción
Authors: Arizmendi Guzmán Mario César
Published: March 2020

La inteligencia artificial tiene un papel importante dentro de la ciencia ficción. El presentar androides, autómatas y robots como simples máquinas que cumplen una tarea específica deja de ser relevante cuando empiezan a actuar de forma errática, comportándose como seres humanos. ¿Por qué pueden crear, sentir y actuar como una persona común y corriente? Con base en esta cuestión se analiza, desde una perspectiva literaria, el arquetipo del robot más que humano dentro de la ciencia ficción.
Semánticas inversas. La geoestética crítica de la Torre Reforma
Authors: Krieger Peter
Published: March 2020

 

La Torre Reforma se levanta 246 metros sobre un fundamento de 16 pisos subterráneos en un sitio privilegiado del Paseo de la Reforma, cerca del Castillo de Chapultepec, en la Ciudad de México. Construido durante ocho años (2008-2016), este rascacielos de 57 niveles tiene una superficie total de 175,000 m2 y fue diseñado por el despacho de Benjamín Romano/lbr+a. Es, además, una obra sobresaliente dentro de los discursos propagandísticos del mercado inmobiliario; el proyecto está cargado de superlativos: según la página promocional es un “edificio corporativo de clase mundial con sustentabilidad leed Platino”, “ganador del International Highrise Award 2018 como el mejor rascacielos del mundo”1 –con la aclaración de que fue “elegido por unanimidad por un jurado internacional como el ‘rascacielos más innovador del mundo’.”2 

En profundo contraste con estos elogios –prefabricados por un equipo de relaciones públicas y reproducidos con variaciones menores en diferentes medios–, expongo esta “crítica” a la Torre Reforma con el objetivo de reflexionar sobre la rutina de la producción arquitectónica no-sustentable y su comunicación visual. De entre los múltiples aspectos que encuentro en este rascacielos destaco sus impactos y significados geofísicos.
Nuevos espacios para la arquitectura Reseña de la exposición: Industriales: trazas de la especulación posrevolucionaria
Authors: Diez-Canedo Novelo Joaquín
Published: March 2020

En un tiempo en el que la situación política y social, junto con el desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías de representación y producción, ha llevado a repensar los límites del quehacer arquitectónico, surge en la Ciudad de México un nuevo espacio para reflexionar en torno al alcance de nuestra disciplina. Con la intención de promover voces emergentes de la investigación contemporánea en arquitectura, la plataforma curatorial Proyector propone un programa expositivo que busca servir de punto de encuentro para muchas de estas nuevas inquietudes a través de distintos medios y formatos, así como conversatorios con cronistas, editores y especialistas académicos. Encabezada por los arquitectos Tania Tovar Torres y Juan Carlos Espinosa Cuock, ambos egresados de la Facultad de Arquitectura de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Proyector incluyó en su año inaugural (2018) la propuesta de Pedro Ceñal Sobre la línea: la frontera vertical distribuida. A partir de distintos documentos, maquetas, mapas y testimonios de migrantes, la muestra revisaba los múltiples espacios que conforman las rutas que atraviesan a través del territorio nacional, misma que también fue expuesta en la sede del Royal Institute of British Architects (riba) en Londres del 4 de junio al 6 de julio de 2019. 

Para su segunda exposición, Proyector ha volteado a ver su contexto más inmediato. Ubicados en el corazón de la colonia Industrial, al norte de la capital (Av. Ingeniero Basilio Romo Anguiano 175), les ha surgido la intención de vincularse con el público local. Esta situación ha permitido a los curadores hacer una revisión de las distintas colonias industriales que surgieron como un “cinturón periférico de la vivienda de la clase trabajadora que apareció en la década de 1930, como consecuencia de los asentamientos de las zonas industriales en la Ciudad de México,” según sus propias palabras. Al examinar las colonias Industrial, Obrera, Nextitla, La Michoacana y San Pedro de los Pinos, que han sido relegadas a un lugar secundario por una historiografía que privilegia el genio creador y las grandes obras de arquitectura, los curadores señalan cómo esconden, en su discreción, algunas pistas para desmontar dicho aparato historiográfico que las relega, pues en ellas se concentran otras formas de pensar la(s) arquitectura(s) y, sobre todo, a su gran otro, la ciudad.
Processing Low-Grade Retted Straw of Fibre Flax Into Homogeneous Fiber Using Trailed Flax-Harvesting Combine КВЛ-1
Authors: Soboleva E. V. , Bezbabchenko A. V. , Vnukov V. G. , Prokofiev S. V.
Published: March 2020

To obtain long and short flax fiber of high quality under the conventional processing technology, retted flax straw of no less than grade 1.5 is required. However, according to some data, low-grade retted straw flax of grade 0.75 and lower used at some flax-processing plants can make up to 30 percent of the total mass of harvested raw materials. To maintain profitability, this retted straw must be processed into short homogenous fiber using new innovative technologies and equipment. (Research purpose) Study of the technological process of primary processing of low-grade retted straw flax, starting from the field and finishing at a flax-processing plant in various technological lines, determination of the rational composition of technological equipment of post-treatment lines of chaff -fiber mass obtained in the field with the flax-harvesting combine KVL-1, as well as determination of quality indicators of the obtained fiber. (Materials and methods) For research purpose, two types of low-grade retted straw were used as raw material: type 1 – retted straw grade1.0, type 2 – retted straw no.0.5, taken from Russian flax-processing plants. Primary processing of retted straw was carried out directly in the field with the flax-harvesting combine KVL-1. Further, the resulting chaff -fiber mass was transported to the laboratory and cleaned in the stationary conditions in various lines consisting of commercially available disintegrator DLV-2 and tow shakers with a lower gilling section. (Results and discussion) Analysis of the research results has revealed that the raw material used – low-grade retted flax straw – features low strength and high separability of fiber. The authors have put forward some recommendations on using the technology of processing low-grade retted flax straw into homogeneous fiber. (Conclusion) The authors have described the design of two technological lines for processing low-grade retted flax straw according to the ‘field-plant’ pattern. Using these lines, one can produce homogeneous flax fiber (monofilament) with an average mass length of 189-195 millimeter, a linear density of 5.6-6.2 Tex and a mass fraction of chaff of 6.7-16.7 percent. It is emphasized that the proposed technologies allow obtaining homogeneous fiber of a grade not exceeding 2 from low-grade retted flax straw. This type of fibre can be used to produce between-joisting and volumetric sealants, nonwoven materials, modified flax fibre, cellulose, technical and medical cotton wool, low-grade yarn, composites, etc.

Published: March 2020

The purpose was to study therapeutic properties of Lipomek 2% drug in animals affected with siphunculatosis, and to determine duration of its action against this pathology. To achieve these goals, 2 species of animals were used. Experiments were conducted at 2 different farms - Mygra and Fazenda, where 25 sheep (Lezgin breed) and 17 calves (Caucasian brown breed) were studied. Animal siphunculatoses are the most common parasitic diseases in Rutul village (Rutul district, Republic of Dagestan). The effectiveness of a new long-acting antiparasitic drug Lipomek 2% (ivermectin) against siphunculatosis in small and bovine animals was studied. A 1% solution of ivermectin also showed a good therapeutic effect which was manifested next week after injection and lasted 21 days. Lipomek 2% (ivermectin) showed 100% efficacy against siphunculatosis in sheep and calves. Duration of parasitocidal effect was maintained for up to 30 days (observation period). No signs of intoxication were observed after livestock treatment.
AXIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE FINANCIAL LAW SYSTEM
Authors: Tsindeliani Imeda A.
Published: March 2020

Legal axiology, as a scientific discipline, allows us to consider both the legal system of the State as a whole, and its individual elements from the point of view of the value foundations that exist in society and in each individual. The consideration of the elements of the State's legal system through value categories allows us to determine the relationship and interdependence of all elements of the legal system. It is especially necessary to note the influence of value categories on the formation of a system of the separate branches of the law, including the financial law of Russia. Value categories have an influence not only on the formation of the elements of the financial law system, but also predetermine their interaction as legal means of regulation of the public finances. The elements of the financial law system, as a branch of law, are the principles of the financial law, the rules of the financial law, and their separate forms of grouping - institutions and sub-sectors of the financial law. The principles of the financial law are the direct legal regulators of public relations in the field of public finance by their nature. Possessing regulatory properties, the principles of the financial law shouldn’t be identified with the rules of the financial law, since they are independent legal means of the regulation. The principles of the financial law, on the basis of their regulatory properties, should be considered as elements of a system of the financial law.
“Friend-or-foe” opposition and its implementation through the concepts “house” and “forest” in Russian fairy-tale discourse
Authors: Shakolo Aliaksandr V.
Published: March 2020

Researches of the discursive analysis become more and more significant sphere of linguistics. Both forest and house act as two main and never identical worlds. The fundamental conceptual opposition of fairy-tale discourse is based on the concepts of house and forest, fundamental opposite worlds. The purpose of the article is to examine the two concepts as crucial components of friend-or-foe opposition, and to reveal features of their representation in Russian linguistic culture. During the research, the author used descriptive, inductive and cultural-historical methods. The research showed that the concepts of forest and house are key components of fairy-tale discourse, have nationally specific features in Russian fairy-tales revealed in the texts. The theoretical relevance of the article lies in the fact that contributes to working out the problem of national worldview representation and Russian ethnos mentality. The practical relevance of the article consists in possibility of using its materials in the process of teaching, while compiling lectures, guides for teachers, seminars on fairy-tale discourse. A role of house and forest for Slavic people is really significant. Besides, the results of the study show the necessity of further analysis of fairy-tale discourse, more detailed description of the concepts and their comparison with the concepts of other national fairy-tales.

El plagio: la dicotomía entre la idea y la expresión de la idea
Authors: López Fernández Elba
Published: March 2020

Este artículo surge a partir de la idea de que no resulta fácil determinar la frontera entre plagio y creación original. En principio, el plagio trata de una apropiación del esfuerzo ajeno. La cuestión es, sin embargo, si siempre se está ante un fraude o si a veces es un acto inevitable de cometer: la inspiración o la influencia recíproca entre dos obras irrumpen en la discusión. ¿Cómo saber qué es lo que se puede o no se puede hacer y dónde está el límite entre lo legítimo y lo ilegítimo? El objetivo aquí fue determinar el alcance y los límites de la figura del plagio. Y para ello se analizaron ciertas ambigüedades lingüísticas implícitas en su definición. Las fuentes consultadas ayudaron a determinar que, a pesar de que las leyes argumentan que las ideas en sí mismas no son protegibles, a efectos prácticos esta realidad no está tan clara. La metodología usada en este artículo fue descriptiva. Como instrumento se recurrió a la investigación documental. Entres los resultados se pudo establecer, a través del análisis de lookalikes, que las ideas pueden estar protegidas incluso en su sentido abstracto, ya que aunque queden definidas por su expresión pueden ser expresadas de formas diferentes. Se concluye que en realidad la desprotección absoluta de las ideas no es un axioma, a pesar de que este último constituye uno de los principios doctrinales del derecho de autor, ya que la idea, al ser materializada y compartida, queda ligada a un modo de expresión e indirectamente protegida por este. La propiedad intelectual, en principio, tampoco protege las técnicas artísticas o creativas ni los estilos ni los temas; pero la protección de la obra, aunque trate de excluir lo que se expone, esto es: la idea, el método, el estilo y la técnica, no siempre puede hacerlo, incurriendo en una contradicción que olvida que la creación es en parte imitación.

This paper highlights latest methodologies and feature extraction methods used by researchers to estimate age. Different types of classifiers used in this domain have also been discussed.
Contextualising Queer Theory: Sex and Gender in the American Philosophy of Judith Butler v. Native American Theory and Cultures
Authors: Treadwell Holly May
Published: March 2020

As the scholarship and conversation regarding LGBTQ+ issues expand and gain more visibility, there is still one group and one history especially that is left out of this discussion: indigenous cultures. Indeed it is primarily white writers who are credited for opening up the definition of concepts such as gender, and although such writers have without a doubt helped bring the issue into the focus of contemporary society, the views they are representing are not new and certainly do not originate in any white, Western theory. This paper explores Judith Butler’s theorisations surrounding gender and sex from her book, Gender Trouble, in comparison to Native American scholarship and culture. Butler’s writing has transformed the way in which contemporary society views gender and sex by bringing the idea of performativity into mainstream media, but this article aims to show that the ideas and concepts she discusses in her work are not new; many Native American societies have held such views for centuries. Views and concepts discussed in this article include the multifariousness of sex (that is, sex as a spectrum rather than a binary, and sex as being non-definitive of person), and the diversity of gender (specifically gender as a social construct, as independent from sex, derived from character rather than biology, and as variable and fluid). By examining quotes from Butler alongside examples of the existence and indeed prominence of these views in Native American cultures, this article demonstrates that the concepts outlined by Butler can be seen to pre-exist her theorisations by centuries in both Native American culture and Indigenous scholarship.

International criminal court and Russia: to be or not to be together
Authors: Lazutin L. A. , Likhachev M. A.
Published: March 2020

INTRODUCTION. The creation of the International Criminal Court in 1998 boosted significantly the interests of practitioners and researchers as regards international criminal law and procedure. It was the very first time when the permanent international court dealing with crimes of the concern of the international community was created. Twenty years being passed but the formal quantitative results of the Court coupled with disputes as regards Court’s role and status, skepticism and disappointment of his work provoked an overall critic and negligence. It was aggravated by the direct critic delivered by a few states. Some of them refused to become a party to the Rome Statute or withdrew its ratification thereof. The same was with the internal situation in the Court: reluctance about the cooperation of the forensic unities and HR-disputes.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. To prepare this paper the academic teachings of Russian and foreign specialists in international law and especially international criminal law, international and domestic legal instruments, media publications, reports and statistics of the ICC official web page were used. This study is premised on using the general methods of cognition (systemic and structural approaches, analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction) and methods of legal research (comparative, historical and formallydogmatic methods).

RESEARCH RESULTS. Exaggerated expectations, organizational shortcomings, external explicit backlash, system obstacles of the international justice, pressure of officials and overt nihilism of the academics – that is where the Court have no choice but to work. Russian skepticism coupled with political observations provoked Russia’s 2016 withdrawal of its signature from the Rome Statute.The paper deals with Russian motives and reasons of the abovementioned decision. The analysis is carried out within the general pattern of the functioning of the Courts and its drawbacks. The stance of the main stakeholders is also considered. The authors conclude that the main reason of the Court’s default is predetermined considerably by the systematic and objective factors not dependent on the Hague court. At the same time some of the problems are deemed to be typical for international justice per se.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. The bashing as regards the Court and its results excludes the impartiality in assessing ICC’s results and impedes the correct reasoning and offering adequate recommendations. The general negative narrative backs sufficient background for taking solely politically motivated decisions what the Russian experience proves.
International law argumentation in the national courts of the Scandinavian countries: doctrinal approaches
Authors: Isaev M. A.
Published: March 2020

INTRODUCTION. In modern legal science the problem of the effect and implementation of international law in national legal systems is one of the most popular areas of research. This article is devoted to the consideration and critical analysis of doctrinal assessments of the application by courts of general jurisdiction of the Scandinavian countries of the international legal norms , as well as their possible approaches to resolving conflicts between the norms of international and national law.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The method of comparative law has been used in present essay as a special logical mechanism that permits us to construct a system of rules relating to conflict of laws. Especially these rules are the tertium comparationis in a case of conflict between international and domestic law in municipal courts, as it is going through the formula of induction (analogy): if A is B, and B is C, so A is C.

RESEARCH RESULTS. Traditionally international law suggests two ways of solving the problem in a case of the conflict of laws: monistic and dualistic doctrines. But these doctrines are not realizable in a pure form because of their inner contradiction. The main cause of this contradiction is the impossi bility to join interests of the subjects of international law with each other. Taking the doctrine of Interessenjurisprudenz as a ground of our further reasoning we have found the third point, we were searching for: just – the mechanism of elaborating the special remedies by which the conflict of interpretations has to be solved. The main remedy is the overcoming (in a logical sense) the law of excluded the third in the form of analogy. So, we can formulate a construction of the rules relating to conflict of laws in international public law by the analogy with the international private law. The nature of these rules is coincided with the such norms as _esuetu iuris cive necessitates and general principles of law. Especially that permits us to avoid the conflict of interpretation of the two legal orders, that can be caused by the “double standards” and “soft power” doctrines.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. The above mentioned analysis permits us to formulate some general principles to established the system of rules relating to conflict of laws. The main cause of them will be following logical premise: the conflict of laws is based on the conflict of interests. That can be evidently by the interpretation rules in a conflict. Interpretation has the aim to harmonized conflicting orders on the ground of the general principles of law relating to municipal and international law. Conflict of laws can be solved through the general principles of law, especially in the case of fundamental contradiction. Conflict of laws can be formulated by the analogy. Conflict of laws can’t be interpreted in teleological way.
Dynamics of the cold war concept’s figurative component in the US political discourse
Authors: Kovalev N. A.
Published: March 2020

The article presents the results of a study aimed at analyzing the dynamics of the development of the COLD WAR concept’s figurative component in political discourse based on the material of the American media. The research conducted using the methods of discursive, conceptualdefinitional and comparative analysis has shown that the COLD WAR concept is a complex multi-component concept-scenario (or dynamic frame) that evolved during the second half of the 20th century. The figurative component of the concept manifests itself in its metaphorization and develops as the concept penetrates into the American mass consciousness. Throughout its history the COLD WAR concept has been both the source domain and the target domain of metaphorization with numerous models of metaphorical reinterpretation. Moreover, the author states that demetaphorization of the concept has also played a big part in the development of its figurative component. The article opens up a perspective for the study of the conceptual field of the “cold war” in different linguocultures, which is very important considering the changing international situation and the emergence of such concepts as COLD WAR 2, COLD WAR 2.0, etc.
