Una aceptación silenciosa: Actitudes de profesores en torno a la diversidad por orientación sexual, identidad y expresión de género (OSIEG) en Chile
Authors: Astudillo Lizama Pablo , Faúndez García Rocío
Published: November 2021

Las actitudes docentes se pueden definir como “aquellos valores y normas intrínsecas de los sujetos que dirigen su quehacer profesional, en relación con los procesos pedagógicos” (Maturana et al., 2016). Estas podrían ser entendidas a partir de al menos tres factores que interactúan entre sí: la lectura de las normas sociales que impactan los procesos educativos, lo aprendido durante la formación inicial docente y la adecuación de los individuos a las culturas organizacionales de los lugares de trabajo donde se desempeñan. Teniendo esto a la vista, el presente artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio sobre actitudes de profesores en torno a la diversidad por orientación sexual, identidad y expresión de género (OSIEG) en Chile, atendiendo además a otros elementos diferenciadores individuales que pueden influir en la manera como las actitudes docentes toman forma en el ejercicio profesional: género, trayectoria y geocultura. A partir del análisis de veinte entrevistas realizadas a docentes en tres ciudades del país (Santiago, Valparaíso y Talca) además de una revisión de 132 mallas curriculares de programas de formación en pedagogía en las tres regiones observadas, se llega a la conclusión que los docentes tienen una actitud favorable hacia la diversidad por OSIEG, aunque aquella disposición no se traduce en una modificación del quehacer profesional, de los procesos pedagógicos o el cuestionamiento de la política educativa. Esta aceptación silenciosa ofrece, por lo tanto, oportunidades y limitaciones para avanzar en la reflexión sobre la inclusión. En estas condiciones, por tanto, es todavía difícil cuestionar el modo cómo la norma de género y sexualidad es reproducida y producida constantemente por las escuelas en Chile.
Convivencia escolar y estudiantes LGBT+ en enseñanza media: Un escenario de exclusión incluyente en Uruguay
Authors: Gonzalo Iván Gelpi
Published: November 2021

El presente artículo teórico pretende visibilizar los procesos de exclusión incluyente que aún experimentan los estudiantes autoidentificados o percibidos como LGBT+ en Enseñanza Media en Uruguay, en un contexto en el que todavía se evidencia una tensión entre los marcos legales y los discursos y prácticas educativas, que en ocasiones compromete el derecho a la educación. Para la elaboración de este escrito se consideran los antecedentes recientes de investigación en materia de diversidad sexo-genérica en el ámbito educativo a nivel nacional. Los análisis se apoyan en datos estadísticos vigentes y la articulación teórica se centra predominantemente en aportes de autores y autoras iberoamericanos del campo de la educación, de los estudios de género, de los estudios lésbicos-gay y de los estudios trans. Sobre el cierre del trabajo, se desarrolla una propuesta de tutorías entre pares específica de acompañamiento a las trayectorias escolares de estudiantes LGBT+ que potencialmente podría cooperar a mejorar la experiencia educativa de este conjunto de estudiantes, promoviendo la continuidad educativa.

The purpose of the article is to determine the peculiarities of public sector enterprises' use of international and national accounting and financial reporting standards governing the accounting of lease transactions, study the impact of their provisions on financial reporting indicators, substantiation of the most acceptable lease accounting models for public sector enterprises. The information base of the empirical study was the data of the official website of the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Agriculture of Ukraine for 2013-2020. Methodical and methodological basis of accounting for lease transactions were the provisions of P (S) of Accounting 14, NP (S) of Accounting SS 126, IPSASB 13, IAS 17, IFRS 16. In the study used such techniques as comparison, l, time series, structural -dynamic and coefficient analysis. The essence of the concept of "lease" is clarified on the basis of a comparative analysis of its various definitions given in international, national standards of accounting and financial reporting for business entities, public sector entities, as well as in other regulations. The conceptual model of rent accounting for P (S) of Accounting 14, NP (S) of Accounting SS 126, IPSASB 13, IAS 17 and IFRS 16 is considered, the problematic aspects of its application in the accounting practice of domestic state enterprises are identified. Discussion issues concerning the application of the provisions of IAS 17 are highlighted, which include: the lack of a financial component in rental costs; lack of information in the financial statements about lease obligations not incurred by the company; Insufficient information in the financial statements about the existence of the asset to which the lessee has the right to use. The results of the study are to identify the key problems of the lease accounting model in accordance with IAS 17 for state-owned enterprises and make suggestions for their solution. Recommendations for assessing the impact of the lease accounting model in accordance with IFRS 16 on the financial statements of the lessee have been developed. The main directions of elimination of obstacles to the implementation of IFRS in the domestic accounting practice concerning the lease operations of state-owned enterprises are identified.

Authors: Splitt Michael E. , Hennard Morgan , Bougeard Pierre
Published: November 2021

Understanding barriers to submitting pilot weather reports (PIREPs) has been the focus of recent attention in the general aviation community. The goal is to help increase the submission frequency of these reports, which are valuable for aviation operations and situational awareness. Additionally, the perception of the quality of these reports by pilots can impact the level of trust users have in the data. This study aims to evaluate aspects of the reporting frequency and quality of PIREPs particularly from the general aviation perspective. PIREPs were subjected to a range of logical, qualitative, and quantitative tests. Commercial applications are shown to improve the data quantity transmitted in the reports, particularly the non-mandatory sections such as sky and weather conditions, as well as to help alleviate some of the transcription errors. Reported times of the PIREPs indicate impacts from rounding that may limit the utility of the data in some instances. Analysis of individual geophysical measurements show varying quality with potential gaps noted in the icing type assessment and a bias towards higher turbulence intensity reporting, though air temperature compares well to independent data.
A Municipal Tail
Authors: McCaskill Sean
Published: November 2021

This project examines municipal animal control in Los Angeles between 1880 and 1909. It traces the emergence of municipal animal control from the confluence of animal welfare reform and progressive state expansion. The animal welfare movement in the United States began in the Colonial Era, but soon reflected the influence of changing attitudes in Europe and the rise of anti-cruelty reform movements after the Civil War. As Americans sought to create a better world out of the ashes of that war, many looked towards animal welfare. This movement occurred first on the East Coast, beginning with Henry Bergh’s founding of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in 1866, and reached Los Angeles by the end of the century. Many in that growing city viewed the dawn of the twentieth century with optimism, hoping for L.A.’s ascendancy into the ranks of the nation’s great metropolises. As a result, they began to look at the city’s problems through an increasingly progressive lens. Newspapers had covered the animal impoundment system’s brutality since the 1880s, but by the end of the century, they carried dramatic exposés of cruelties and corruption at the pound that emphasized connections to larger social issues. Citizens, including an impressive number of women, became activists for animal welfare. The municipal government responded by passing an ordinance that put animal control in the hands of the Humane Animal League, a private animal welfare organization. When the League failed to handle the city’s burgeoning animal population humanely and efficiently, the city assumed responsibility for animal control and created a municipal system. The emergence of municipal animal control in Los Angeles demonstrates a city turning to the extension of state power at the local level to create a more humane and efficient world for both its human and animal inhabitants.
Methodology of neural network compression for multi-sensor transducernetwork models based on edge computing principles
Authors: Lobachev Ivan M. , Antoshchuk Svitlana G. , Hodovychenko Mykola A.
Published: November 2021

This paper focuses on the development of a methodology to compress neural networks thatis based on the mechanism of prun-ingthe hidden layer neurons. The aforementioned neural networks are created in order to process the data generated by numerous sensors present in a transducer network that would be employed in a smart building. The proposed methodology implements a single approach for the compression of both Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) that are used for the tasks of classification and regression. The main principle behind this method is based on the dropout mechanism, which is employed as a regulation mechanism for the neural networks. The idea behind the method proposed consists of selecting optimal exclusion probability of a hidden layer neuron, based on the redundancy of the said neuron. The novelty of this method is theusage of a custom compression network thatis based on an RNN, which allows us to determine the redundancy parameter not just in a sin-gle hidden layer, but across severallayers. The additional novelty aspect consists of an iterative optimization of the network-optimizer, to have continuous improvement of the redundancy parameter calculator of the input network. For the experimental evalu-ation of the proposed methodology, the task of image recognition with a low-resolution camera was chosen, the CIFAR10 dataset was used to emulate the scenario. The VGGNet Convolutional Neural Network, that contains convolutional and fully connected lay-ers, was used as the network under test for the purposes of this experiment. The following two methods were taken as the analogous state of the art, the MagBase method, which is based on the sparcification principle as well as the method which is based on rarefied representation by employing the approach of rarefied encoding SFAC. The results of the experiment demonstrated that the amount of parameters in the compressed model is only 2.56% of the original input model. This has allowed us to reduce the logical output time by 93.7% and energy consumption by 94.8%. The proposed method allows to effectively usingdeep neural networks in transducer networks that utilize the architecture of edge computing. This in turn allows the system to process the data in real time, reduce the energy consumption and logical output time as well as lower the memory and storage requirements of real-world applications.

Authors: Shpinareva Irina M. , Yakushina Anastasia A. , Voloshchuk Lyudmila A. , Rudnichenko Nikolay D.
Published: November 2021

This article shows the relevance of developing a cascade of deep neural networks for detecting and classifying network attacks based on an analysis of the practical use of network intrusion detection systems to protect local computer networks. A cascade of deep neural networks consists of two elements. The first network is a hybrid deep neural network that contains convolutional neural network layers and long short-term memory layers to detect attacks. The second network is a CNN convolutional neural network for classifying the most popular classes of network attacks such as Fuzzers, Analysis, Backdoors, DoS, Exploits, Generic, Reconnais-sance, Shellcode, and Worms. At the stage of tuning and training the cascade of deep neural networks, the selection of hyperparame-ters was carried out, which made it possible to improve the quality of the model. Among the available public datasets, one ofthe current UNSW-NB15 datasets was selected, taking into account modern traffic. For the data set under consideration, a data prepro-cessing technology has been developed. The cascade of deep neural networks was trained, tested, and validated on the UNSW-NB15 dataset. The cascade of deep neural networks was tested on real network traffic, which showed its ability to detect and classify at-tacks in a computer network. The use of a cascade of deep neural networks, consisting of a hybrid neural network CNN + LSTM and a neural network CNNhas improved the accuracy of detecting and classifying attacks in computer networks and reduced the fre-quency of false alarms in detecting network attacks.
Study on evolution of a predator–prey model in a polluted environment
Authors: Liu Bing , Wang Xin , Song Le , Liu Jingna
Published: November 2021

In this paper, we investigate the effects of pollution on the body size of prey about a predator–prey evolutionary model with a continuous phenotypic trait in a pulsed pollution discharge environment. Firstly, an eco-evolutionary predator–prey model incorporating the rapid evolution is formulated to investigate the effects of rapid evolution on the population density and the body size of prey by applying the quantitative trait evolutionary theory. The results show that rapid evolution can increase the density of prey and avoid population extinction, and with the worsening of pollution, the evolutionary traits becomes smaller gradually. Next, by employing the adaptive dynamic theory, a long-term evolutionary model is formulated to evaluate the effects of long-term evolution on the population dynamics and the effects of pollution on the body size of prey. The invasion fitness function is given, which reflects whether the mutant can invade successfully or not. Considering the trade-off between the intrinsic growth rate and the evolutionary trait, the critical function analysis method is used to investigate the dynamics of such slow evolutionary system. The results of theoretical analysis and numerical simulations conclude that pollution affects the evolutionary traits and evolutionary dynamics. The worsening of the pollution leads to a smaller body size of prey due to natural selection, while the opposite is more likely to generate evolutionary branching.
On the boundary value problems of piecewise differential equations with left-right fractional derivatives and delay
Authors: Zhang Yuxin , Liu Xiping , Jia Mei
Published: November 2021

In this paper, we study the multi-point boundary value problems for a new kind of piecewise differential equations with left and right fractional derivatives and delay. In this system, the state variables satisfy the different equations in different time intervals, and they interact with each other through positive and negative delay. Some new results on the existence, no-existence and multiplicity for the positive solutions of the boundary value problems are obtained by using Guo–Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem and Leggett–Williams fixed point theorem. The results for existence highlight the influence of perturbation parameters. Finally, an example is given out to illustrate our main results.
Hidden maximal monotonicity in evolutionary variational-hemivariational inequalities
Authors: Vilches Emilio , Zeng Shengda
Published: November 2021

In this paper, we propose a new methodology to study evolutionary variational-hemivariational inequalities based on the theory of evolution equations governed by maximal monotone operators. More precisely, the proposed approach, based on a hidden maximal monotonicity, is used to explore the well-posedness for a class of evolutionary variational-hemivariational inequalities involving history-dependent operators and related problems with periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions. The applicability of our theoretical results is illustrated through applications to a fractional evolution inclusion and a dynamic semipermeability problem.
Срібненська кільцева структура (Дніпровсько-Донецька западина) — можливий полігон освоєння вод- невого потенціалу земних надр
Authors: Лукін О.Ю. , Шестопалов В.М.
Published: November 2021

Поняттю “труба дегазації” найбільш повно відповідають вулкано-тектонічні кільцеві структури. Ендогенний водень розглядається як головний фактор їх формування під час як “гарячої” (експлозивної), так і “холодної” (висхідна міграція легких газів) фаз. Саме з ними в першу чергу мають бути пов’язані водневі та гелієві (а також різноманітні гібриди) родовища. З цього приводу на особливу увагу заслуговують кільцеві структури типу давніх мегакальдер з подальшою тривалою геологічною еволюцією з різноманітними проявами перколяційних процесів, обумовлених висхідною міграцією легких газів (насамперед водню та гелію). Типовим прикладом такої кільцевої структури (тривало функціонуючі природні труби дегазації) є Срібненська вулкано-тектонічна депресія в Дніпровсько-Донецькій западині. Вона характеризується давнім закладанням (протерозой), експлозивним вулканізмом у девоні, накопиченням чорносланцевих відкладів у ранньому карбоні, ознаками багатократної активізації висхідної міграції водню в палеозої, мезозої та кайнозої, включаючи нео- та актуотектонічні етапи. Інтенсивна воднева дегазація підтверджується наявністю мікро- та нановключень часток самородних металів (включаючи такі оксифільні елементи, як Al, Zn, W та ін.). В статті наведена порівняльна характеристика Срібненської вулкано-тектонічної кільцевої структури та кальдери Узон (Східна Камчатка). Показано, що є усі підстави розглядати Срібненську кільцеву структуру та її обрамлення як ексклюзивний пошуковий об’єкт на ендогенний водень.
A New Family of Interactions between Clothed Particles in QED
Authors: Arslanaliev A. , Kostylenko Y. , Shebeko O.
Published: November 2021

The method of unitary clothing transformations (UCTs) has been applied to the quantum electrodynamics (QED) by using the clothed particle representation (CPR). Within CPR, the Hamiltonian for interacting electromagnetic and electron-positron fields takes the form in which the interaction operators responsible for such two-particle processes as e−e− → e−e−, e+e+ → e+e+, e−e+ → e−e+, e−e+ → yy, yy → e−e+, ye− → ye−, and ye+ → ye+ are obtained on the same physical footing. These novel interactions include the off-energy-shell and recoil effects (the latter without any expansion in (v/c)2-series) and their on-energy shell matrix elements reproduce the well-known results derived within the perturbation theory based on the Dyson expansion for the S-matrix (in particular, the Møller formula for the e−e−-scattering, the Bhabha formula for e−e+-scattering, and the Klein–Nishina one for the Compton scattering).
Characteristics and Outcomes of Pediatric Nonindex Readmission: Evidence From Florida Hospitals
Authors: Symum Hasan , Zayas-Castro José L.
Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVES

Increasing pediatric care regionalization may inadvertently fragment care if children are readmitted to a different (nonindex) hospital rather than the discharge (index) hospital. Therefore, this study aimed to assess trends in pediatric nonindex readmission rates, examine the risk factors, and determine if this destination difference affects readmission outcomes.

METHODS

In this retrospective cohort study, we use the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State Inpatient Database to include pediatric (0 to 18 years) admissions from 2010 to 2017 across Florida hospitals. Risk factors of nonindex readmissions were identified by using logistic regression analyses. The differences in outcomes between index versus nonindex readmissions were compared for in-hospital mortality, morbidity, hospital cost, length of stay, against medical advice discharges, and subsequent hospital visits by using generalized linear regression models.

RESULTS

Among 41 107 total identified readmissions, 5585 (13.6%) were readmitted to nonindex hospitals. Adjusted nonindex readmission rate increased from 13.3% in 2010% to 15.4% in 2017. Patients in the nonindex readmissions group were more likely to be adolescents, live in poor neighborhoods, have higher comorbidity scores, travel longer distances, and be discharged at the postacute facility. After risk adjusting, no difference in in-hospital mortality was found, but morbidity was 13% higher, and following unplanned emergency department visits were 28% higher among patients with nonindex readmissions. Length of stay, hospital costs, and against medical advice discharges were also significantly higher for nonindex readmissions.

CONCLUSIONS

A substantial proportion of children experienced nonindex readmissions and relatively poorer health outcomes compared with index readmission. Targeted strategies for improving continuity of care are necessary to improve readmission outcomes.
Meet the Team: A Quality Improvement Initiative to Improve Family Knowledge of Their Care Team
Authors: Rogers Amanda , Lynch Kelly , Weisgerber Michael
Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVES

Hospitalized families often have poor knowledge of care team members, which can negatively impact communication. Local baseline data revealed that few families had knowledge of team members. Our primary aim was to increase the percentage of families able to identify a member of their team to 75% over 1 year and sustain use of our improvement tools over 6 months.

METHODS

We conducted a quality improvement initiative at a tertiary pediatric academic center. Plan-do-study-act cycles were used to implement and test 3 main interventions: (1) a “Meet the Team” form (MTTF), a visual handout outlining care team members; (2) verbal introductions at the start of patient- and family-centered rounds (PFCR); and (3) data sharing regarding family feedback about tool use. The outcome measure was the percentage of families successfully identifying team members. Process measures were the percentage of families who received the MTTF and the percentage of PFCR that included verbal introductions. Balancing measures included rounds length.

RESULTS

We conducted structured interviews of 141 families and observed 11 597 PFCR events. There was an increase in the percentage of families who could identify a team member from 10% to 84%. The percentage of PFCR events that included verbal introductions revealed special cause variation, increasing from 40% to 80%. Rounds length held steady at ∼11 minutes per patient.

CONCLUSIONS

Implementing paired interventions of MTTF distribution and verbal team introductions was associated with increased family knowledge of team members and no change in rounds length.

In the Footsteps of the Problem of the Third Century BC
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Klepikov Valeriy
Published: November 2021

Introduction. The problem of selecting monuments of the 3rd century BC in the Early Sarmatian culture came into sight during the process of discussing the reasons for the fall of Scythia, when it became clear that the Early Sarmatian funerary monuments in the Northern Black Sea steppes are recorded starting from the 2nd century BC, a hundred years after the alleged destruction. Methods and materials. During the research process the scientists came to the conclusion that there are no imports of the 3rd century BC in the burials of the Lower Volga region and the Southern Urals. Some researchers stated the absence of monuments of this time in the indicated territories, while others continued to search for new approaches. As a result, they proposed the the method of “clamped” dating, which allows us to distinguish a stratum between well-dated complexes of the 4th and 2nd – 1st centuries BC. Analysis. In the course of clarifying the situation in the original Sarmatian territories, some researchers have decided to devide the reference early Sarmatian burial ground Prokhorovka into two groups, not only chronologically, but also culturally. The 3rd century BC became a time separating these groups, elusive according to these authors, not only in the Northern Black Sea region, but also in the Volga-Ural steppes. Opposing this point of view, supporters of the culture of continuous development in the 4th – 1st centuries BC pay attention to the unity of the funeral rite throughout the entire period, and the lack of well-dated imports is explained by crisis phenomena and migration processes, when old contacts with civilizations are crashing and new ones have not yet been established. The discussion that unfolded in the 90s of the 20th century with the accumulation of new materials and clarification of old dates periodically revived, updated with new participants, but the position of opponents has not really changed. The proposed article is devoted to evaluating the arguments of both sides. Results. The method of “clamped” dating is not the most universal, considering the constantly growing database of sources and its corrections. But this method works and many scientists continue to rely on it. A simple statement of the impossibility of identifying monuments of the 3rd century BC, when the existence of the monuments of this time is asserted, seems even more surprising than the assertion of the “hiatus” of the 3rd century BC, in the Volga-Ural steppes region.
Diplomatic Preparation for the English Invasion of France in 1415
Authors:   Free Researcher, Sanzharov Valery , Sanzharova Galina ,   Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University
Published: November 2021

Introduction. According to the latest research, the managerial genius of Henry V was most fully manifested in the military, financial and diplomatic fields. The authors analyze in detail the royal diplomacy, which has not been the subject of special study. Diplomacy is analyzed as a space of political communication. Methods and materials. The basic methods of historical analysis were used to work with the material. The sources used in the work are diplomatic documents (treaties, “memorandums”, instructions to ambassadors and their correspondence with monarchs, decisions of royal councils, discussion of the course and results of negotiations in parliament) and chronicles. In historiography, the problem is traditionally considered within the framework of works devoted to the personality of Henry V or the history of the Hundred Years War. Analysis. The article analyzes three phases and three components of English diplomatic policy from the coming of Henry V of Lancaster to power to his invasion of Normandy: 1) negotiations with both sides of the intra-French conflict in order to prevent their reconciliation. 2) the territorial claims of Henry V in France (territory in exchange for giving up the “rights” of inheritance). 3) diplomatic activity as a disguise of preparation for war (territory in exchange for peace). Results. The authors concluded that the English in the years 1413–1415 are moving from military mercenarism on the side of one of the warring groups in the intra-French conflict to declaring themselves as one of the parties to the struggle for power in France with their rights and claims. The diplomacy of the English crown pursued the intentions of 1) demonstrating the impossibility of achieving the claims of the royal house of England on the continent peacefully; 2) maintaining schism and confrontation within the highest French nobility; 3) ensuring international recognition of the English monarch’s right to intervene in the intra-French conflict.
To the Study of the Historical Narrative of Peter the Great’s Time. “Shestvia Journal” in the Funds of the Manuscripts Department of the RNL
Authors:   Russian National Library, Alekseev Alexey
Published: November 2021

Introduction. The “Shestvia (Procession) Journal” is one of the most common monuments of the historical narrative of the Peter the Great era. This monument has been published many times, but still does not have a scientific publication, and its handwritten tradition has practically not been studied. Methods and materials. This work examines the manuscripts of the “Shestvia Journal” in the funds of the Department of Manuscripts of the National Library of Russia. Analysis. The study of the literary “convoy” of historical collections about Peter the Great makes it possible to establish that the “Shestvia Journal” was assigned a strictly defined place in the narrative about the initial period of the reign of Peter the Great: in 42 collections it was directly connected with the texts of the “Notes” by A.A. Matveev, and only in eight lists had a separate existence. Results. Observations on the manuscripts of the “Shestvia Journal” held in the collections of the Manuscripts Department of the National Library of Russia allow us to hypothesize that the journal was created not as an independent work, but as part of a cycle of texts devoted to the early history of the reign of Peter the Great. This cycle, along with the magazine, included “The Legend of the Conception and Birth of... Emperor Peter the Great”, as well as the work of Count AA. Matveev on the rifle riots of 1682 and 1698.

Introduction. The article examines the situation of the monasteries of the Belozersk region in the last quarter of the 16th century – the first decade of the 17th century: regional manifestation of crisis phenomena, the reasons for their occurrence, the degree of influence of individual factors (epidemic, famine, foreign invasion). Methods and materials. The topic is disclosed using the methods of historical research (analysis, synthesis, external and internal criticism of documents). The source base was made up of acts and monastic business books, including inventory of property. Analysis. In the last quarter of the 16th century – the first decade of the 17th century the Russian state was going through a deep crisis, which was observed in all aspects of the life of Russian society: political, dynastic, economic and social; it was intensified by the great famine of 1601–1603. During these years monasteries remained centers of economic stability, providing the brethren, servants, ministers and beggars with the necessary products and household items. In the years of famine, grain from the monastic granaries was “loaned” to the peasants for consumption and sowing. The devastation of the monastic economy and the physical destruction of the population began in the Time of Troubles. As a result, the authors came to the following conclusions: the crisis of the last quarter of the 16th century and the Great Famine of the early 17th century did not lead to degradation and disruption of the traditional way of life in the region; the destruction of Belozersk monasteries begins in 1612 and continues until 1618; only the Kirillov Monastery, headed by Abbot Matthew, was able to organize the defense and protect the fortress, preserving the Cyril’s heritage from the Polish-Cossack plunder.
Effect of V addition on tribocorrosion wear behavior of boride layer produced on AISI 1040
Authors: Çarboğa Cemal
Published: November 2021

In this study, the effect of the addition of vanadium (V) on the densification, microstructure, and wear behavior of borosintered powder metallurgy steels was investigated. Ball-milled powders containing 0, 1, 5 and 10 wt.% V were cold-compacted under 200 MPa pressure and then subjected to borosintering at 1100°C for 2 h in ambient air. The characterization of the boride layers formed after borosintering was conducted by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, microhardness tests, nanoindentation, surface roughness measurements, and ball-on-disk-type wear tests. Wear testing was carried out under 10 N load for a total sliding distance of 250 m in ambient air and in a 3.5% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. While the thickness of the boride layer decreased with increasing V content, its hardness and modulus of elasticity also increased, owing to the formation of additional vanadium boride (VB) and vanadium carbide (V2C) phases. Wear resistance increased with increasing V content, and the samples tested in 3.5% NaCl displayed lower coefficients of friction and higher wear resistance compared to the samples tested in ambient air. Reduced wear in 3.5% NaCl was attributed to the cooling and lubricant effects provided by the 3.5% NaCl solution.

Are we helping the company hosting the Zoom application, digital-theatre experimenters, the characters in the play, real people with similar socio-political problems as depicted in the play, ourselves or Russell Anderson? My personal experience and observations, beginning from receiving the digital mail invitation and background information of the performance, until the discussion about the work, in the end will be narrated with critical observations on each character's role and background, audio-visual spectrum, additional software and applications used, spect-actorship and employment of the break-out room feature of the Zoom application. The referenced theatre genres and probable methodologies employed in structuring the performance will be discussed by referring to Sir Andersons personal notes on the matter. The emotions and doubts, particularly that of whom I was helping, during the performance will be addressed in terms of the nature of the interactive, hyperdrama’s structure and the overall effect that it influenced. Its outcome will be critically compared with observations made by other scholarly reviewers on other Zoom adaptive performances, namely, Karen by The Transit Ensemble, Newspaper Theatre workshop by Seattle Rep, The Belle’s Stratagem by Red Bull Theatre, Time Machine by Creation Theatre and A Midsummer Night’s Dream by CtrlAlt_Repeat, while addressing Interaction, communication, mediatization and liveness in digital theatre.
‘The Camera Chooses the Star’: Trans-medial Ventriloquism in Punchdrunk’s The Drowned Man
Authors: Gilovich-Wave Ilana
Published: November 2021

Despite its status as a largely wordless performance, Punchdrunk's 2013 production of The Drowned Man activates a ventriloquist paradigm to frame its engagement with form: both the physical body as performance media. The Drowned Man's message about voice and form reimagines immersive theatre's multi-medial potential by invoking ventriloquism's cinematic and theatrical legacies. By staging the dummy's moment of self-awareness, The Drowned Man encourages it audiences to question the extent to which they, too, are invisibly controlled. The production distorts form in order to stage a self-reflexive dialogue about voices, bodies, and performance. The result is often uncanny, unsettling, bewildering and bewitching: much like ventriloquism itself.
“A Page from the History of Marxism”: Gefter’s Edevours to Read Marx Anew
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russian Federation, Neretina Svetlana
Published: November 2021

The purpose of this paper is to show how the thought and speech of people holding and defending directly opposite positions affect the change in the thought and speech of people of their own and subsequent generations, with different life orientations, and to find ways of this influence. The author describes the situation that arose at the end of the sixties of the twentieth century, known as the ideological dispersal of philosophical, historical and sociological trends that ran counter to the policy of the CPSU, which became especially fierce in the fight against opponents after the USSR’s invasion of Czechoslovakia in August, 1968. One of the results of such an ideological battle was the defeat of the sector of the methodology of history of the Institute of General History of the USSR Academy of Sciences, headed by M. Ya. Gefter, who published a series of books in which the so-called laws of historical development (formational approach) were questioned and the fundamental provisions of the classics of Marxism-Leninism were criticized. The subject of analysis is Gefter’s article “A Page from the History of Marxism in the Early 20th Century”, published in the book “Historical Science and Some Problems of the Modernity”, dedicated to the analysis of Lenin’s tactics and strategy development which changed the views of many, especially young, historians on the historical process, and most importantly - on the methods of seeking and expressing the truth. The differences were expressed primarily in the fact that the proponents and defenders of the Soviet regime, which was based on their own established norms of Marxism-Leninism, fearlessly used all means of pressure on unwanted opponents. Professionals, however, who tried to understand the true sense of the historical process, the sense of judgments about it, especially the sense of the revolutionary struggle against the autocracy, unfolding at the beginning of the twentieth century, were forced to use the Aesopian language, which also provoked a distortion of this sense in many ways: due to the nebulous and veiled expressions, which give the impression of theoretical blackmail, causing such consequences as speech irresponsibility.
The University Mission in the Humanitarian Dimension: Stating the Problem
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation, Zinevich Olga , Balmasova Tatyana ,   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation

The article focuses on the mission humanitarianism of a university as a social institution from the perspective of social ontology. The mission is viewed as a perfect benchmark (supreme goal and purpose) necessary for university existence as well as for maintenance and authorization of its institutional identity. It is shown that despite the changes in functionality of universities under the conditions of knowledge-intensive economy development (use of business models in interaction with the society), the humanitarian orientation has not lost its significance since it is necessary for the existence of a university as an institutionally organized specific educational activity, including knowledge generation, storage and transmission. Key institutional characteristics are considered that reveal the importance of humanitarianism for preserving the university as a unique social phenomenon. The authors are guided by the methodology of moderate constructivism – the study of value and meaning of human mentality, ideas and ideals in forming the institutional design of social reality. The role of the ideal and the intentionality of human actions in the construction and function of an educational social institution, which is expressed in the university corporation’s drive to be orientated at values, which give positive social significance to its activities and are aimed at achieving good, are explored. The university produces and conveys knowledge through establishing a knowledge subject, in other words, it forms the very intention to achieve a socially significant result not only in an objectified form of knowledge, but also in the form of evolution (development) of an individual who can produce and use knowledge for the good of society and for their personal advancement. In this context, the mission is understood to be a supreme goal and an ideal benchmark in the concrete historic practices of university education in forming a knowledge subject who must master the fundamental values necessary for society’s existence. The university mission is based on the concrete historic interpretation of the key socially significant goal of education: the development of a “human being” who acts for the good and benefit of society and its members via conveying the thesaurus of universal human values in their concrete historic theoretical and ideological formats.
Will the USA Face the Fate of the Roman Empire? (Reflections on Irina Zhezhko-Brown’s Articles about the Minority Elite in the USA)
Authors:   Siberian Institute of Management – the branch of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Novosibirsk, Khanin Grigory
Published: November 2021

The starting point of the paper is the three articles in the journal Ideas and Ideals by Irina Zhezhko-Brown who analyzes the formation of a new ruling class in the USA, which rests on racial and gender minorities. The values proclaimed by the elite are fundamentally different from traditional American values. The paper shows that any attempt to bring them into life can have devastating consequences for American society and, ultimately, lead to its downfall. Considering the huge role of the USA in the world system, this can be compared to the fall of the Roman Empire. The author shows that it is possible to escape such an outcome. The obstacle to this escape is the entire social and economic system that has developed in the USA. In the field of economics, the priority in recruiting personnel is given to quotas based on race and gender instead of qualification and business qualities, which will lead to a significant decrease in the financial performance of companies and the wages of employees. The author analyzes such long-term macroeconomic defects of the American economy as the budget deficit, trade and balance of payments deficit, and the growth of government debt. In the near future, these defects may lead to a deep economic crisis, a stock market crisis, and the US dollar can lose its position as the key currency. The paper considers economic and political premises and prevention methods of these destructive processes.
Roche Cárcel, Juan Antonio (Ed.) (2020): Las sociedades difusas. La construcción/deconstrucción sociocultural de fronteras y márgenes. Barcelona: Anthropos
Authors: Ravina-Ripoll Rafael
Published: November 2021

El profesor de la Universidad de Alicante, Juan A. Roche Cárcel edita un volumen bajo el sugerente título de Las sociedades difusas con el objetivo de explorar cómo los límites y las fronteras tradicionales parecen diluirse y reconfigurarse en las sociedades actuales en muy diversos ámbitos de la vida social y cultural. Este es un objetivo de especial pertinencia pues, en palabras del mismo autor: “En las sociedades contemporáneas, los límites, los márgenes y las fronteras han perdido definición y han sufrido un proceso de indeterminación, de confusión o de hibridación, aunque, eso sí, de una manera compleja, contradictoria y no vacía de paradojas, pues, simultáneamente, se han visto reforzados o disueltos” (p. 5). Los límites en las sociedades actuales parecen encontrarse, por lo tanto, dentro de un entorno vaporoso, en el que “todo lo sólido se desvanece en el aire”. O, por utilizar la metáfora de Z. Bauman, en un entorno “líquido” donde las fronteras y los límites “sólidos” parecen retroceder e incluso desparecer.
