Digital Wireless Technology to Measure Agricultural Performance
Authors: Fedorenko V. F. , Tarkivskiy V. E.
Published: March 2020

When testing agricultural machinery in order to determine its functional indicators, the ability to wirelessly transmit data between sensors, measuring and information systems are important. (Researchpurpose) To develop methods and create wireless digital devices for determining the functional indicators of agricultural tractors and machines with the ability to wirelessly transmit data to a remote control point in real time. (Materials and methods) The authors assumed that it was possible to determine the slipping of driving wheels using an inertial navigation system. It was found that in order to calculate real-time indicators obtained using wireless technologies, it was necessary to determine the characteristics of the input signals of discrete sensors on the side of the measuring system. (Results anddiscussions) The authors substantiated a method for determining the period of incoming signals of discrete sensors with an accuracy of 0.001 seconds for wireless information transmission. They proposed the design of a slipping sensor for an energy vehicle driving wheels, the main element of which is an inertial wheel position sensor. They developed a discrete signal input module and an inertial slipping sensor with the possibility of wireless data transmission based on a radio system with a carrier frequency of 433 megahertz. During field tests, it was found that the accuracy of determining slippage using the inertial wireless sensor IP-291 does not exceed 1 percent; the range of stable radio communication from the tested object to the test control center reaches 1000 meters; the current indicators obtained through digital radio communication did not differ from the indicators obtained in the tractor cab. (Conclusions) The authors worked out an effective system for wireless information transfer with the ability to calculate the performance of the tested equipment in real time.

Published: March 2020

Global car manufacturers wish to increase the number of manufactured products, reduce their cost and labor input. The choice of research areas, design and technological developments in radiator construction is an extremely important and urgent task, due to the mass production of radiators for tractors and automobiles on the one hand, and the favorable development prospects of these interrelated industries, on the other. (Research purpose) To substantiate theoretically and experimentally the use of a combined cooling system containing both aluminum and polymeric water radiators and similarly liquid-oil heat exchangers based on the four principles listed above on automobiles and tractors. (Materials and methods) The authors performed bench tests using a special wind tunnel to study the thermal and aerodynamic characteristics of a prototype tractor radiator with a polyurethane core. After reaching the steady-state operating mode of the installation, the experimental values were determined for the control and measuring instruments. (Results and discussion) The authors carried out measurements of all parameters of both coolants in series at each steady-state operating mode of the bench. They obtained the main indicators dependences (reduced heat transfer, aerodynamic and hydraulic drag) of the heat exchanger, close to the operating conditions of the vehicles. (Conclusions) A prototype MTZ-80 radiator with a polyurethane core has great prospects as a future alternative radiator. An increase by 10-15 percent in the radiator heat transfer is possible by using aluminum fi ns on the surface of the polyurethane plate. A 15-20 percent reduction in hydrodynamic resistance is achieved by increasing the diameter of the capillary throughput in a polyurethane plate and the number of plates themselves in the radiator cell.

Published: March 2020

Digital agricultural production is based on robotic agricultural technologies for the use of pesticides and fertilizers using unmanned aerial systems, which are based on unmanned aerial vehicles for monitoring agricultural land, the pesticides application, fertilizers and other agrochemicals. (Research purpose) To develop an unmanned helicopter based aircraft for applying pesticides and fertilizers, and to substantiate its technological parameters. (Materials and methods) The authors used methodological recommendations on the use of chemicals in the precision farming system, regulatory and technical documentation for unmanned aircraft systems. (Results and discussion) The authors determined the unmanned aerial vehicle main flight technical and technological parameters for the implementation of the applying pesticides and fertilizers process. They established the dependences of its productivity on the norms of introducing working fluids of pesticides and fertilizers, the agricultural field length, and the approach distance to the field. (Conclusions) The authors developed a helicopter-type unmanned aerial vehicle of a coaxial design with a take-off mass of 280 kilograms and a payload of 50-80 kilograms, a rotor diameter of 5.3 meters, a constructive boom width with sprayers of 5 meters, a working flight height of 1-5 meters, a working speed of 40-60 kilometers per hour, the rate of working fluid of pesticides application 10-20 liters per hectare and nitrogen fertilizers 30-120 liters per hectare. They established rational values for the application rates of pesticides – 10-20 liters per hectare, the agricultural field length – at least 0.8 kilometers, ensuring maximum productivity in flight hour when processing the agricultural field. They showed that the flight distance minimizing from the runway to the field significantly increased the productivity of applying pesticides and fertilizers.

Dasypyrum villosum is an annual cereal used as a donor of agronomic traits for wheat. Productivity is one of the most important traits that breeding is aimed at. It is a very complex trait, the formation of which is influenced by many different factors, both internal (the genotype of the plant) and external. The genes responsible for the gibberellin sensitivity played a large role in multiplying yields of cereal crops. Another such gene is the Gid1, which encodes a receptor for gibberellins. This article compares the DNA sequences of the Gid1 gene obtained from six Dasypyrum villosum samples. Using a sequence of wheat and rye taken from the GenBank database (NCBI), we selected primers for regions of different genomes (A, B, and D subgenomes of wheat and the R genome of rye), and carried out a polymerase chain reaction on D. villosum accessions of diverse geographical origin. The resulting PCR product was sequenced by an NGS method. Based on the assembled sequences, DNA markers have been created that make it possible to differentiate these genes of the V genome and homologous genes of wheat origin. Using monosomic addition, substitution, and translocation wheat lines, the localization of the Gid1 gene of D. villosum was established on the long arm of the first V chromosome. A phenotypic assessment of common wheat lines carrying substituted, translocated, or added D. villosum chromosomes in their karyotype was performed. Tendency of disappearance of the first chromosome of D. villosum in the lines with added chromosomes was revealed.
OMPARATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AND MUNICIPAL LAW SCHOOL (PART II)
Authors: Eremyan Vitaliy V.
Published: March 2020

The coming calendar year is marked by the fulfillment of the sixtieth anniversary of the Patrice Lumumba University of Peoples' Friendship (later was renamed to Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, RUDN) was founded. Within these sixty years the Faculty of Economics and Law, the Faculty of Law have been operated until the Law Institute, maintaining continuity, took the place. As one of the university graduates and a student of prominent Soviet scholars who stood at the origins of several schools of comparative law that currently exist, the author attempted to follow the dialectical process of formation, development and systematization of the scientific school of comparative constitutional and municipal law that is connected not only with the special nature and features of teaching foreign and domestic students, but also with significant achievements in the field of preparation of candidates in and doctors in this specialty. Contrary to other universities, comparative legal analysis was using as a basis for preparation of domestic law specialists for the states set free from colonial dependence and that explains the choice of regional and country-specific research model for forms of government, administrative organizational structures, political regimes of leading Asian, African and Latin American states with “socialistic” or “capitalistic” orientation. These mentioned states took the path of independent civilizational development, came through the periods of sovereignization and “decolonization” of wide range of political, economic and social relations. The formation of the “grounds” for African, Latin American, Arab-Muslim, Indian comparative studies is connected with the Department of Theory and History of State and Law, within which the scientific foundation of the school of comparative constitutional and municipal law was laid, the “baton was picked up”, at first, by the Department of Constitutional, Administrative and Financial law, and then by the Department of Constitutional and Municipal law, Constitutional law and Constitutional justice and Municipal law that maintained and updated the best traditions related to the training of Russian and foreign students, postgraduate students and doctoral students. At the present stage, comparative law is experiencing a new stage, caused by interest in the processes taking place in the United States and the European Union.
TO THE QUESTION OF LEGAL CONDITIONS PLACE IN THE SYSTEM OF LEGAL FACTS
Authors: Tsukanova Elena Yu.
Published: March 2020

The article is devoted to the problems of the formation and positioning of the legal status category in legal science. The relevance of this phenomenon in law is due to the lack of its unambiguous perception, which does not allow to fully determine its place and purpose in the theory of legal facts. The purpose of this article is to determine the philosophical and dialectical basis for the inclusion of this concept in the scientific categorical apparatus of jurisprudence. This will allow with sufficient certainty to identify its main characteristics, place in the classification of legal facts, as well as functional relationships with other elements of the legal-factual system. The methodological basis of the article was made by modern achievements of the theory of knowledge. In the research process, theoretical, general philosophical (dialectic, analysis, synthesis, deduction, systemic method,), as well as traditional legal methods (formal-logical, normative-dogmatic and others) were used. In the process of research, based on the ratio of the dialectic categories of movement and rest, the conclusion was formulated that physical reality is a series of static and dynamic situations. Static circumstances characterizing the stability and sustainability of a phenomenon or object are states. The variability of social relations is due to dynamic circumstances, which serve as the basis for a change of state. This approach allowed us to formulate the conclusion that states are natural elements of physical being. They can be qualified as real life circumstances and, provided that the rule of law associates a certain legal consequence with them, they should be recognized as legal facts. An analysis of the place of the state in the system of legal facts allowed us to conclude that the length of time cannot be considered as qualifying it. States are characterized by length in time, and it is precisely the “fluidity” of the phenomenon that matters for a specific situation. When a certain process takes a long time, but as applied to the social situation, it matters as a single whole, then it should be considered as an instantaneous fact.
A Numerical Study on Performance Improvement in Boiling Heat Transfer via Dichloromethane-Based Nanofluid Utilization
Authors: ÇİFTÇİ Erdem , SÖZEN Adnan
Published: March 2020

Nanofluids are colloidal suspensions and have been utilized frequently in heat transfer implementations ranging from heating to cooling. In this study, for numerically specifying the influence of nanoparticle addition inside the base fluid on pool boiling heat transfer, a series of numerical analysis were performed by using hexagonal boron nitride and dichloromethane as nanoparticle and base fluid material, respectively. The nanofluid solution was prepared by doping hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles into the dichloromethane at the rate of 1.0% (vol.) and Sodium Dodecyl Benzene Sulfonate was added into this solution to prevent nanoparticle compilation during operation. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach was preferred and ANSYS Fluent software was used for numerical analysis. In order to be able to make comparison, analysis was performed both dichloromethane and hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles containing dichloromethane, i.e. nanofluid, solutions. Vapour volume fractions, velocity vectors and contours for each working fluid were determined and discussed.

‘Colonising the Future’: Migrant Crossings on the English Channel and the Discourse of Risk
Authors: Jacobs Emma
Published: March 2020

In November of 2018, a small number of Middle Eastern migrants began crossing the English Channel to Dover in dinghies and fishing boats—a mode of crossing that had previously been somewhat rare. Despite the relatively low numbers, state and media responses to these events have been widespread and often alarmist, with the discourse of ‘risk’ becoming particularly prevalent. This paper explores the representational politics of this coverage, focusing primarily on online media from BBC News and press statements from the UK Home Office. Through a close reading of these texts, I argue that the language of risk serves to inscribe (ir)responsibility onto the bodies of migrants, presenting them as threats in need of management who are putting themselves and others at risk through their recklessness. Obscured from the discourse is the deeper causality of this risk—the fact that the same state actors who portray the migrants as unnecessary risk-takers are in many ways responsible for the conditions of ‘deterrence’ that make the risky option the only way. This moralisation and monopolisation of risk is ultimately part of a larger ideological discourse that serves to colonise possible futures. By placing the discourse of risk in historical and political context, this paper seeks to draw out the nuanced ways in which ascriptions of risk and practices of risk-management contribute to the perpetuation of a (neo)colonial and capitalist world order, whose violent effects are enacted in this instance upon subaltern migrants.
Filming the Motherland: Gendered Violence and Pakistani Female Empowerment in Dukhtar and My Pure Land
Authors: Hull Zainabb
Published: March 2020

The revival of Pakistani cinema in the mid-2000s has heralded several successful films tackling relevant social issues, such as national identity, terrorism, and gendered violence. Pakistani filmmakers both at home and in the diaspora are using cinema to address women's rights issues within Pakistani communities worldwide whilst challenging simplistic and imperialist western perceptions of Pakistan and its people. This article analyses two recent female-led films from diasporic filmmakers: Afia Nathaniel’s Dukhtar (2014) and Sarmad Masud’s My Pure Land (2017). Each film features female leads navigating gendered violence, patriarchal oppression, and Pakistani cultural identity to explore the filmmakers’ own complicated relationships with the ‘motherland’, expressing a sense of belonging and nostalgic affection for Pakistan whilst holding the nation accountable for upholding patriarchal cultural values, in order to reveal paths towards gender equality and female empowerment in global Pakistani communities. Positive critical reception within Pakistan highlights both the difficulties faced by filmmakers addressing women's rights issues and the desire for Pakistani social dramas, indicating new possibilities within the media landscape. There remains a lack of insight into audience reception to new films addressing women's rights issues, and future research must examine how this new cinema might provoke and inspire positive social change within real world communities and for Pakistani women around the world. Nonetheless, in the production and global critical reception of Dukhtar and My Pure Land, there is evidence of Pakistan’s slow progress and growing enthusiasm for gender equality and safety, and of challenges to oppressive western perceptions of Pakistan that lead to paternalistic and racist treatment of South Asian women. These films prioritise the need for social change to come from within the community, offering up possible role models and futures for a Pakistan that is safe and fair for people of all genders.
Unresolved Grief and the Pull of the Dead in Joyce’s ‘Eveline’: An Interpretation Using Attachment Theory
Authors: Horsnell Linda
Published: March 2020

This paper uses Attachment Theory as a frame of reference to critically analyse James Joyce’s representation of the eponymous character Eveline in Dubliners.  By reference to the work of Alexander Shand, it is possible to highlight the correlative relationship between creative writing and the theory of grief espoused by attachment theorist John Bowlby.  Joyce’s understanding of human behaviour and the sociological, domestic and psychological information contained within his work leave it particularly open to critical analysis using such methodology.  I will show how attachment theory offers an alternative reading to those based on Freudian and Lacanian paradigms.

The mixing of language codes in anglophone postmodern literature
Authors: Denisova E. A.
Published: March 2020

The study of the mixing of language codes on a par with linguistic and extralinguistic factors that determine peculiarities of the equal functioning of two (or more) languages in a communicative act or in a literary text, in particular an anglophone literary text, is studied at the interdisciplinary level and is relevant. Traditionally, the phenomenon of mixing language codes is considered as a separate aspect of language interactions, as well as in the context of such linguistic phenomena as: borrowings, interference, bilingualism, diglossia, code switching, etc. The interest of linguists to language mixtures arose in the middle of the 20th century. This is evidenced by works in the field of structural phonology theory, information theory, bilingualism theory, considering successfully coexisting language systems (two or more). In linguistics, as in the other interdisciplinary studies, today debates about the nature of bilingualism and the prerequisites for its occurrence take place. Traditionally, bilingualism is considered to be a forced phenomenon arising from the established use of two languages in society. However, we emphasize that the so-called tradition of using several languages in speech is not always present in society, unlike the Anglophone postmodern literature of the last century, where the presence of language mixtures (foreign language insertions) is one of the characteristic features. The key issue of this article is the Anglophone literary text created by bilingual bi-cultural writers using the strategy of language mixing (code switching) not only as a language game, but also as a full-fledged linguistic phenomenon, the mechanism of interaction of components of language insertions, demonstrating a certain style, cultural way of portrayed social and linguistic environment.

The aim of the study is to analyze the language and speech activity of the characters of a certain language group on the material of the Anglophone literary text.
Language of the forestry discursive community (based on the traditional culture of the Urals)
Authors: Teusch O. A.
Published: March 2020

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the discursive field “Forestry activity in the Urals”. The relevance of the study is determined by the increased attention of modern linguistics to the problems of regional specificity of professional discourse, the development of which is at the initial stage. The aim of the article is the etymological and onomasiological description of the units of the discursive field, characterized as “Forestry activity in the Urals”. Semasiological, onomasiological methods and the method of scientific description are used to achieve this goal. Lexical units included in the field are identified, their origin is interpreted. The main field segments are defined. As a result of the analysis of the empirical material belonging to the “Forestry activity in the Urals” discursive field, it was revealed that in the Ural regional lexical system a specific system of concepts was developed. It has been implemented in the speech activity of dialect speakers. The Ural General dialect foundation is the basis for the modern professional communication of foresters and timber producers of the region.

Objectives: To identify the percentage of parents having the correct knowledge of caring their children and evaluable quality of life in children with chronic kidney diseases. Subject and method: descriptive cross sectional study and  evaluated the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 4.0 Generic Core Scales of 115 children with chronic kidney diseases (CKD) and their parents who treated at Department of Pediatric of Bach Mai hospital. Results: the parents’ correct knowledge about CKD was persistant and relapse (90,4% and 89,4%). The sourse of information parents’s from medical staffs was 48,2% and 23% from social networking. Over 50% of parents thought that knowledge getting from medical staffs was necessary. Beside that 33% of parents thought that information gettinh from social networking was harmful. Total quality of life score of children with CKD was 21,9 ± 14,9  point. Physical and learning field were more effective. However, total quality of life score of children with CKD whose parents got consulting of medical staffs was lower than wothout medical staffs’s consulting. The difference between total quality of life score of children with CKD and job of parents was not is not statistically significant. Conclusion: the supply more information will help parents understand their role in co-operation with medical staffs to help the children integrate into the normal society and enhance their quality of life.

On the Harmony Between the Cognitive Linguistic and Lexical-Stylistic Components in Literary Translation (a Case Study of J. D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye”)
Authors: Izvolenskaya Anna S.
Published: March 2020

In this paper we shall focus on the two most well-known Russian versions of J. D. Salinger’s 1951 “The Catcher in the Rye”, produced by Rita Rait-Kovaleva and Maxim Nemtsov. Although Salinger’s magnum opus was rendered into Russian four times within only 12 years (1998–2010), it is in its old, yet still relevant Rait-Kovaleva’s version that Holden Caulfield’s voice resonates with the Russian reader. Moreover, none of the new translations has received enthusiastic reviews from interpreters or critics thus far. Nor has any of those updated and upgraded renditions won recognition of philologists. While Rait-Kovaleva’s “Over the Abyss in Rye” (back-translated) is by default considered more adequate, the comparative linguistic analysis tends to revolve around the single issue of the novel’s stylistically marked language. New versions often draw criticism due to the crude manner in which the outdated teenage slang is conveyed in them. That is especially true for Nemtsov’s version, which provoked furious public response when it came out, which is why we have opted for it to be compared against Rait-Kovaleva’s. No less significant, but more neglected is the question of the novel’s moral and philosophical value and the role it should be assigned in translation. The cognitive analysis of both texts, conducted with due regard to the original’s “stratum of schematized aspects” (R. Ingarden), has revealed conformity of Rait-Kovaleva’s text to the essential messages in Salinger’s novel. This proves she had succeeded in capturing the novel’s unfading merit. This assertion is substantiated by the comparative study of the two renditions, Rait-Kovaleva’s and Nemtsov’s. More importantly, the research has demonstrated the rightful priority the text’s moral and philosophical value should be assigned in translating a classic, which Salinger’s novel definitely is.
The Spanish King’s Christmas Messages as a Ritual Genre of Institutional Discourse: A Comparative Study
Authors: Raevskaya Marina M. , Selivanova Irina V.
Published: March 2020

The article deals with the Christmas messages of two Spanish monarchs, Juan Carlos I and Philip VI, issued from 1975 to 2018. These texts are considered to be a ritual genre of institutional discourse and are analyzed in the context of political rhetoric. Since the restoration of the monarchy in Spain in 1975, the Spanish King’s Christmas messages are thought to be the main instrument of communication of the Head of State with his citizens. Although they do not have any legal status and belong to the realm of customs and traditions, these speeches receive wide media coverage because they are one of the few occasions when the monarch addresses the Spanish people on television. This paper highlights the idea that the messages are ideologically driven and politically motivated since their major purpose is to strengthen the image of the monarchy and to convince people of the necessity and advantages of peaceful coexistence, respect for the law, and national pride. The article also focuses on the images of the past, the future, the speaker, the addressee (Spanish society), and the country. The scientific value of this paper is in providing a comparative analysis of the communicative potential of the Christmas speeches issued by Juan Carlos I and Felipe VI. It was revealed that the two monarchs appealed to the same values and feelings of their people. Juan Carlos I and Felipe VI underlined the importance of peaceful coexistence in Spain, a highly democratic country where the monarch is the symbol of its unity and permanence. As for linguistic aspects, the speeches comply with the rules of classical oratory and are characterized by a set of common features: for instance, both monarchs employ the same rhetorical devices and communicative strategies in order to impact the audience and make the message more direct and influential. Nevertheless, Felipe VI makes his messages more personal, emotional and appealing, in comparison with the messages of his predecessor. The authors described invariant and variative features of the Christmas speeches issued by two Spanish monarchs taking into account some differences which can be explained by the social, economic and political context of modern Spain.
The Image of Mother in the Language Picture of the World of Russians and the Japanese
Authors: Palkin Alexei D.
Published: March 2020

This paper elucidates the image of mother in the worldview of Russians and the Japanese on the basis of association experiments. Associative reactions obtained from Russian and Japanese respondents are listed along four semantic components – logical-notional, axiological-semantic, bodily-perceptive, and emotional-affective. Besides, the index of proximity is calculated for each pair of samplings analyzed. The language world view of Russians is scrutinized over two time periods. They are the early 1990s and the early 21st century. The language world view of the Japanese refers to the early 21st century. The image of mother in both linguocultures is predictably intertwined with the images of father, love, and children. It is noteworthy that the two Russian samplings demonstrate insignificant changes in the ronment as long as they associate mother with warmth that embraces a child and breast-feeding. For Russians, mother is primarily a woman and a parent, that is, her social functions predominate over her physical functions. The archetype of multi-child family used to be topical in the 1990s Russia, although the rate of childbirth was relatively low at the time due to economic problems. The Japanese and the Russians of the early 21st century lost this archetype. A large family was no longer a priority for them. Meanwhile, the image of mother is clearly vital for both linguocultures. This makes it possible to state the universal character of the image of mother. Another important observation is that Russian women of the early 1990s demonstrated unity in their treatment of current events. The experiments conducted have shown that the early 1990s saw an increase in mood swings for many people in Russia. However, Russian women turned out to be less affected by negative developments and more family-minded. One more important conclusion concerns the fact that male speech is ruder than female speech. This has been observed by other authors numerous times and has been confirmed in the association experiment discussed.
Making Proper Use of Stereotypes in the L2 French Classroom
Authors: Peeters Bert
Published: March 2020

The stereotypes envisaged in this paper serve as a starting point for a research protocol aimed at corroborating the reality, in French languaculture, of the cultural value of stance-taking. The protocol adopted here is part of a research paradigm called applied ethnolinguistics, elaborated for use with and by foreign language students whose linguistic competence is sufficiently advanced to enable them to use their language resources to discover, through essentially (but not uniquely) linguistic means, the cultural values typically associated with the languaculture they study. Since the posited values are hypothetical, corroboration will be required. A specific protocol (the one illustrated here) has been set aside for this purpose. The cultural value of stance-taking will be presented in the form of a pedagogical script expressed in minimal French, a descriptive tool based on the French version of the natural semantic metalanguage. Precautions are taken to ensure that end-users of such scenarios are aware that they are dealing with generalisations (which are unavoidable as languacultures are never homogeneous).
Axiomatics for Disquotational Truth Theory and Non-Conservativity Argument
Authors: Khlebalin Alexander V.
Published: March 2020

The paper considers the possibilities for the axiomatization of disquotational truth theory in perspective of the general S. Shapiro’s non-conservative argument against deflationary concept of truth. It shows that in a generalized formulation, Shapiro’s argument cannot be automatically extended to any axiomatic formulation of the disquotational theory. It also shows that the epistemological justification of the suitable class of substitutions for the T-scheme is the key to constructing an adequate axiomatic disquotational theory.
System Analysis of the Development of Rural Local Communities
Authors: Shmakov Vladimir S.
Published: March 2020

The article explores the processes of socio-economic and socio-cultural development of rural local communities in the form of specific models that demonstrate the true nature of transformation processes in agricultural regions. Using the system analysis, it establishes the features of development, relations (internal and external) and community development functions. The paper also singles out the mechanisms affecting stabilization and sustainable development of the village: industrial, economic, socio-cultural, and institutional. Rural local communities as a system have a structure, that is, they have an internal composition, the relative position of elements (some modifications of the structure are possible with the same composition of elements) and are a kind of static model of the system.
Goethe and Hegel: The Tninker’s Integrity and the Philosopher’s Systematicity
Authors: Gorokhov Pavel A. , Yuzhaninova Ekaterina R.
Published: March 2020

The article discusses the main elements of Goethe’s spiritual influence on Hegel’s philosophical constructions and the influence of the Hegelian system on Goethe’s whole worldview. The views of Goethe and Hegel on history, nature, free human spirit and philosophy itself, as the basis of productive human culture, largely coincided genetically from a single temporal and sociocultural flow. The relations between Goethe and Hegel make it possible to distinguish between the notions of “philosopher” and “thinker”: the so-called “professional” philosopher has a tendency towards systematicity, and with a thinker the systematism develops into integrity.
Intentionality of Mathematical Discourse and Löb’s Theorem
Authors: Tselishchev Vitaly V.
Published: March 2020

The article deals with the problem of the intensionality of mathematical discourse in the light of the theorem of Löb. Proceeding from the fact of equivalence of the Löb theorem and the Second Gödel incompleteness theorem, as well as the fact of the intensionality of the latter, the problem of demonstrating the intensionality of Löb’s theorem is formulated. It is shown that this intentionality has an implicit character, explained by the “weirdness” (as expressed by G. Boolos) of this theorem.
Discussion on the Usefulness of Social and Humanitarian Knowledge in Contemporary Science (Social Aspects)
Authors: Ablazhey Anatoly M.
Published: March 2020

The author analyzes the place and role of the humanities in the modern structure of scientific activity from the point of view of utility. You can see that discussions of this kind are characteristic not only of domestic, but also foreign science. There are numerous examples of substantiation of general cultural, ideological and narrowly utilitarian understanding of the usefulness of humanitarian knowledge in a modern university. The conclusion offers our own interpretations of the answer to the posed questions.

Published: March 2020

This article is devoted to study the swirling flow with the formation of the precessing vortex core (PVC) in the cone of the model of the draft tube of the hydraulic turbine. The experiments were carried out on the aerodynamic set-up both in stationary and in transient regimes of operation of the hydraulic turbine. The hydraulic turbine operating conditions were varied by continuously changing the flow rate at a constant rotor speed. The formation of the PVC in the flow and the maximum level of pressure pulsations in the regime modeling the partial load regime of a turbine are revealed. The boundaries of the occurrence of the PVC effect are determined with varying rotor speed and air flow rate. It was found that the dependence of the PVC lifetime in transition regimes correlate with the transition time. It was shown that the velocity profiles in transient conditions change quasistatically between the operation regime with partial loading of the turbine and the regime of the highest efficiency of the turbine.
Investigation of Femtosecond IR Radiation Two-Photon Absorption by Pump-Probe Method in GaAs (001) Plate Reflection
Authors: Rubtsova N. N. , Borisov G. M. , Ledovskikh D. V.
Published: March 2020

The reflection of probe infrared femtosecond radiation pulses from a gallium arsenide substrate of the (001) orientation in the presence of more powerful pump pulses of the same radiation with a peak power of up to 1 GW/cm2 was investigated. A Yb3+:KY(WO4)2 laser with a central wavelength of 1 035 nm, a repetition rate of 70 MHz, a pulse duration of 130 fs, and an average power of not more than 0.9 W worked in the GaAs transparency region. The experimental dependence of the recorded signal on the pump radiation intensity is in qualitative agreement with the model dependence for two-photon absorption. The results are important for the correct interpretation of reflectivity kinetics of quantum wells.

We describe a young patient developing hemolytic anemia during follow-up in our clinic due to tonsillopharyngitis secondary to EBV and general condition disorder.
Humility and Ethical Development
Authors: Mason Cathy
Published: March 2020

Humility can seem like a somewhat ‘unfashionable’ virtue: the word can conjure an image of cringing servility, unduly romanticised feelings of inferiority, or a level of self-denial which seems ill-placed in a life well-lived. But the term can also capture something of great ethical importance. In this paper, I will propose an account of humility that attempts to capture this moral significance. I will then explore the connection between humility and ethical development, seeking to argue that humility has an important role in ethical improvement. If such a connection is vindicated, it suggests that humility is valuable twice over: it has intrinsic worth but is also instrumentally valuable, enabling us to become better people.

Исследован генезис и структурные свойства оксидных систем (Ce1–xMx)0.8Ni0.2Oy (M = La, Mg; x = 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, 1; 1.0 £ y £ 1.8), являющихся перспективными предшественниками катализаторов. Комплексом физико-химических методов (низкотемпературная адсорбция азота, ex situ и in situ рентгенофазовый анализ, электронная микроскопия, спектроскопия комбинационного рассеяния, ЭДС-анализ) показано, что после прокаливания при 500 °C в окислительной среде (Ce1–xMx)0.8Ni0.2Oy являются мезопористыми материалами, представляющими собой твердые растворы замещения с кубической структурой типа флюорита с нанесенными частицами Ni-содержащей фазы. В случае M = La катионы Ni преимущественно стабилизированы в составе Ce—La—Ni—O-твердого раствора, а для M = Mg — в составе Mg—Ni—O. Установлено, что La- или Mg-содержащие образцы по сравнению с Ce0.8Ni0.2Oy отличаются высокой дефектностью структуры и меньшим размером кристаллитов (£ 4 нм, x ³ 0.5). При термообработке образцов в H2/Не при 800 °C формируются высокодисперсные частицы Ni° размером 5—10 нм. Металлические частицы дефектны, имеют поликристаллическую структуру и легко реокисляются на воздухе с образованием структур типа «core@shell» Ni@NiO.

A new metal coordination complex [Zn(L)(N3)]4 (1) based on the Schiff base ligand 2-ethoxy-6-methyliminomethyl-phenol (HL) is successfully prepared via a slow evaporation method. The as-prepared metal complex is characterized by various physicochemical techniques, e.g. elemental analysis and X-ray single crystal diffraction. Furthermore, we use a mechanical grinding method to prepare nanosized crystalline complex 1 (nano-1). The anti-liver cancer activity of nano-1 is evaluated in vitro. Firstly, the cell viability and cell proliferation ability are assessed with CCK-8 and cell colony formation assay, respectively. In addition to this, the cell migration and invasion are also evaluated with the transwell assay after indicated treatment.
