Deductive museumization of the phytodetritus component of forest community
Authors: Chernobay Y.
Published: February 2022

Detritus, in particular litter, turf and peat strata, silt along streams, as well as benthos, are systemic formations that can be differentiated into both elements and components. As an independent indicator of structural and functional indicator, litter-falling coefficient (LFC) - acts only up to the level of biogeocenosis. The suprabiogeocenotic (landscape) level is not a simple or weighted sum of biogeocenotic estimates. This should be a network integration of biogeochemical flows, where whole biogeocenoses can act as barrier systems. Therefore, the LFC indicator cannot be averaged for the landscape, but the indicators of anisotropy, dispersion, or chorology can be used, which can be reduced to a point indication (rating) of the ecosystem. The priority role of litter in the small biotic cycle is due to the fact that in natural ecotopes developed an effective mechanism of heterotrophic utilization of dead biomass. Due to this, the intensity of litter decomposition, estimated by the value of LFC, can be used to diagnose the stability of the ecotope. For the cycle of substances and the flow of energy, forest litter serves as a reserve fund, which ensures the stability of the ecosystem. From the point of view of system organization, the litter is a structural layer (detrital biogeohorizon). Therefore, litter as a bio-mineral formation can be considered from different positions - as part of the soil profile, or subsystem of the soil system, as an independent biogeocenotic body (as a system) and as a component link in the system of biogeocenoses. Detrital diagnostics allows to fairly objectively assess the risks to the continued existence of forests in an unstable buffer environment. With the help of these criteria it is possible to identify the direction of changes in sustainability indicators, which is extremely important in the early stages of decision-making on further plans to optimize and strengthen the buffer structures of forest community.

Authors: Zagorodniuk Igor , Ulyura Eugenia , Bolotina Inessa
Published: February 2022

A review of collection samples of mammals received from the territory of Belarus (within its modern borders) and stored in natural museums of Ukraine is given. Information on the materials of 5 museums is summarized – Dybowski Zoological Museum at Lviv National University (ZMD), Zoological Museum of Kyiv National University (ZMKU), Museum of Nature at the Kharkiv University (MNKU), State Natural History Museum of NASU (Lviv, SNHM) and National Museum of Natural History of NAS of Ukraine (Kyiv, NMNH). Within the latter, two (out of three available) collections were studied – the collections of the Department of Zoology (NNPM-z) and the Department of Museology (NNPM-m). Samples from Belarus were found in the collections of ZMD (5 specimens), SMNH (2 sp.), NMNH-z (68 sp.), NMNH-p (36 sp.), NMNH-m (7 sp.), MNKU (3 sp.). In total, there are 121 specimens of 13 mammal species in the collections. The number of samples is dominated by rodents, in particular Spermophilus suslicus (61 sp.), Sus scrofa (31 sp.) and Sylvaemus tauricus (7 sp.). Ancient specimens predominate (1885–1915), among which specimens from the collection of O. Brauner (NNPM) dominate. Certain groups of mammals appear in collections only in the last period of accumulation of collections, in particular murine rodents (collections of the 1990s). The largest number of samples was collected in the southern and western regions of Belarus within the Brest, Minsk, Grodno and Gomel oblasts. The most diverse are the collections from the vicinities of Mozyr in the Gomel oblast, mostly samples from the Brauner's collections of 1900–1915, which are now stored in the NNPM. The oldest are the samples of the black rat (Rattus rattus) from the collections of Benedykt Dybowski in 1885 in the family estates of Vojnov and Niankov of the Novogrudok district of the Grodno oblast. The most valuable is a sample of 61 skulls of ground squirrels Spermophilus odessanus (suslicus s. lato), collected during 1947–1954 in different districts of Brest, Grodno and Minsk oblasts. The series Sylvaemus tauricus from Central Polissia (7 sp.), collected in the 1990-1995 and transferred to the NNPM, is also significant.

Seasonal changes in the content of plastid pigments in the hametophyte of dominant mosses in forest ecosystems of Ukrainian Roztochchya
Authors: Beshley Stepan , Lobachevska Oksana , Sokhanchak Roman
Published: February 2022

Poikilohydric mosses, as one of the most sensitive groups of plants to the influence of habitat conditions, responding to environmental factors, demonstrate adaptations, which differ from vascular plants, for the prediction of changes in the natural environment. The changes in the content of photosynthesis pigments and their ratio in dominant deciduous epigeal species of mosses depending on changes in stand crowns, insolation intensity, water-temperature regime of soil and air in local ecosystems of Ukrainian Roztochchya were analyzed. Due to the significant projective cover and closed crowns in the area of ancient forests, the 30-50% lower indicators of light intensity, 8-12% of substrate temperature under moss turf, and 43-50% higher indicators of its humidity compared to pine plantations were identified. Anthropogenic impact in the area of stationary recreation was conditioned by the intensive trampling, which led to a decrease in the closure of the tree crowns (up to 0,4-0,5), an increase in light intensity by 2,5 times, and a decrease in soil moisture under moss turf by 2-4 times. The shade-tolerant Polytrichastrum formosum, Atrichum undulatum and Plagiomnium affine mosses compensated the limited amount of light energy available for growth by intensively increasing of the content of pigments (chlorophylls a and b), light-harvesting complexes and reducing of the chlorophylls a/b ratio to 1,6-2,1. A significant variability in the ratio of chlorophylls to carotenoids from 5 to 9 was found. Significant limits of variation in the content of carotenoids and the ratio of chlorophylls to carotenoids served as an indicator for assessing the edapho-climatic changes in the living conditions of bryophytes in forest ecosystems. Significant variability in the ratio of chlorophylls a/b (2,35-4,25) in autumn in comparison with such indicators in summer is associated with increased illumination of the experimental areas and the activity of the reactions of mutual transformations of chlorophylls a and b. The increase in the values of the ratio of chlorophylls a/b caused by the activation of pigment metabolism indicates their adaptation to both light and shadow. In autumn, the decrease in the ratio of chlorophylls to carotenoids (in the range of 4,31-5,08) is associated with the intensity of synthesis and decomposition of chlorophylls a and b, and carotenoids, which can be used as an important indicator of plant adaptation ability to the changes in light intensity, humidity, and temperature.

A Study of impact of COVID-19 on Education Sector
Authors:   Assistant Professor, Late, Dr. Haribhau Admane Art’s and Commerce College, Saoner, Nagpur., Raut Dr. Srikrishna
Published: February 2022

All learning institutions pre-maturely closed on 20 March 2020 and all Indian citizens advised to self-isolate mean quarantine in a bid to control the spread of COVID-19. The closure of schools, colleges and universities not only interrupts the teaching for students around the world; the closure also coincides with a key assessment period and many exams have been postponed or cancelled. Internal assessments are perhaps thought to be less important and many have been simply cancelled. But their point is to give information about the child’s progress for families and teachers. The loss of this information delays the recognition of both high potential and learning difficulties and can have harmful long-term consequences for the child. Results of this research paper revealed that there is likely to be a drop in the pass percentage of Secondary & Higher Secondary school students in this year’s examinations.

Kierkegaard, critique de Hegel
Authors: Rametta Gaetano , Guerbo Maririta
Published: February 2022

La critique kierkegaardienne de Hegel est‑elle si facile à désamorcer ? Si l’on accepte de répondre aux véritables questions posées par l’auteur, sans les faire passer au préalable par la machine conceptuelle hégélienne, ce qui se dessine est un nouvel ordre problématique où il devient difficile de réduire Kierkegaard à un moment du système hégélien : moment nécessaire, certes, mais aussi dépassable. Nous avons choisi d’éclaircir ce nouvel ordre problématique et de le faire rétroagir sur la philosophie hégélienne. La fonction d’autorialité du texte philosophique, l’histoire, le temps : voici les champs qui se retrouveront bouleversés par la pensée kierkegaardienne du fait absolu de la foi. C’est l’amour du paradoxe qui s’opposera en définitive à Hegel, tel le moteur qui pousse la pensée philosophique à prendre véritablement en compte la singularité.
« L’époque des “systèmes” est passée. » Rosenzweig et l’accomplissement hégélien de la philosophie
Authors: Blanchet Vincent
Published: February 2022

Si L’Étoile de la rédemption de Franz Rosenzweig se veut encore un « système de philosophie », c’est dans la pleine conscience de ce que la forme du système a trouvé, dans l’œuvre de Hegel, un accomplissement en lequel toute l’histoire de la philosophie se rassemble et s’achève. Une « pensée nouvelle » est‑elle dès lors possible, qui surmonte réellement la tradition qui la précède, sans qu’un tel dépassement la conduise hors de la philosophie ? Cet article se penche sur la manière dont Rosenzweig a conçu l’histoire de la philosophie et déterminé, depuis la Révélation, la position d’extériorité qui devait être la sienne. La voie rosenzweigienne est mise en regard de celle de Heidegger, l’un et l’autre penseur n’ayant pas seulement discerné dans leur temps l’achèvement des systèmes, mais conçu le renouveau de la philosophie comme un mouvement de traduction vers l’origine, grecque ou biblique, de la pensée.
Kojève, Hyppolite et Bourgeois. Trois voies de l’hégélianisme
Authors: Pilati Wilma
Published: February 2022

Cet article cherche à mettre en avant certains parcours s’ouvrant après Hegel à travers trois figures hégéliennes. L’essai se concentre sur un point de la Phénoménologie jugé équivoque par Kojève, ambigu par Hyppolite et porteur d’interrogations par Bourgeois, en voulant d’abord répondre à la question suivante : peut‑on parler d’un seul héritage de la pensée hégélienne ou faut‑il plutôt reconnaître qu’il y en a plusieurs ? Les différentes lectures proposées par chaque interprète ouvrent à trois conceptions différentes du rapport entre le concept et l’acte philosophique. Kojève, Hyppolite et Bourgeois indiqueront par là trois voies différentes du destin de l’histoire philosophique au-delà d’elle-même, en nous montrant trois possibles directions pour penser avec Hegel.

Authors: Kim Kyoungok
Published: February 2022

In Korea, commissions from home-shopping channels are major sources of revenue for TV providers, but no research has been conducted to precisely understand TV viewing behaviors toward home-shopping channels, even though abundant works on TV advertising and channel-switching behaviors during commercial breaks can be found. Accordingly, this study aimed to discover characteristic TV viewing behaviors, especially for home-shopping channels. To understand when and how viewers watch home-shopping channels, this study used two different approaches. First, this study analyzed relationships among channels using word2vec to measure similarities between channels in terms of what channels were watched before and after watching these two channels. Second, this study aimed to investigate in detail the factors or contexts that induced home-shopping. As a result, the characteristics of TV viewing patterns related with home-shopping were found.

Authors: Rianmora Suchada , Hajad Makbul , Tangwarodomnukun Viboon
Published: February 2022

Cost analysis of wire-EDMing operation was investigated in this study. Servo voltage, pulse on time, pulse off time, wire feed rate, and wire tension were varied in the experiment to define the optimal conditions for supporting wire-EDMing process. Taguchi's L27 orthogonal array was applied for designing the experiment. Machining cost, material removal rate (MRR), and surface roughness were taken into consideration as the process responses. From the experiment, increasing the servo voltage, pulse off time, and wire feed rate could reduce the surface roughness, whereas an increase in pulse on time and wire tension gave poor surface quality. Increasing servo voltage and pulse on time significantly affected the kerf width; comparing to other factors, they caused insignificant changes in the kerf width. Additionally, the correlation between machining cost and machining performance was analyzed and discussed in this study.

Published: February 2022

The increased interest of users towards healthier lifestyles has motivated the development of a virtual personal trainer application using Android as platform. Despite the availability of numerous fitness apps and gyms, everyone needs proper training at their ease and wishes to monitor calories burnt. Thus, this paper proposes a novel idea of virtual personal trainer applications that recognizes user actions through videos. The video data is processed using convolutional neural network and bidirectional long short-term memory network. The motive of work is to recognize exercise accurately from video and calculate the number of calories expended. The proposed application provides not only detailed information about exercise but also ascertains the correct way of performing exercises as this is a major challenge that users face due to lack of knowledge. The idea is implemented on UCF-101 Action Recognition dataset, and experimental results show significant improvements as compared to baseline methods. This study would benefit users who are fitness enthusiasts and are more prone to gadgets.
A Novel Triangle Count-Based Influence Maximization Method on Social Networks
Authors: Chandran Jyothimon , Madhu Viswanatham V.
Published: February 2022

Influence maximization aims to identify a small set of influential individuals in a social network capable of spreading influence to the most users. This problem has received wide attention due to its practical applications, such as viral marketing and recommendation systems. However, most of the existing methods ignore the presence of community structure in networks, and many of the recently proposed community-based methods are ineffective on all types of networks. In this paper, the authors propose a method called the triangle influence seed selection approach (TISSA) for finding k influential nodes based on the counting triangles in the network. The approach focuses primarily on identifying structurally coherent nodes to find influential nodes without applying community detection algorithms. The results on real-world and synthetic networks illustrate that the proposed method is more effective on networks with community structures in producing the highest influence spread and more time-efficient than the state-of-the-art algorithms.

The scramble for a larger piece of consumers' pie by organizations has deepened the race to gain a competitive advantage in a world now characterized by rapid technological advancements. Traditionally, organizations rely mostly on cost leadership, product differentiation, and focus strategies as tools for competitive advantage that will enable them to outperform competitors. However, the rapidly changing business landscape has shown organizations that they must go beyond the traditional strategies to compete efficiently. To this effect, this research examines corporate social responsibility (CSR) as an organizational tool for competitive advantage. It aims to answer the ever-vague question on whether the adoption of CSR can lead to competitive advantage and what drives indigenous Nigerian organizations to carry out CSR activities.
On the Borel-Cantelli Lemmas, the Erdős-Rényi Theorem, and the Kochen-Stone Theorem
Authors: Arthan Rob , Oliva Paulo
Published: February 2022

In this paper we present a quantitative analysis of the first and second Borel-Cantelli Lemmas and of two of their generalisations: the Erdős–Rényi Theorem, and the Kochen-Stone Theorem. We will see that the first three results have direct quantitative formulations, giving an explicit relationship between quantitative formulations of the assumptions and the conclusion. For the Kochen-Stone theorem, however, we can show that the numerical bounds of a direct quantitative formulation are not computable in general. Nonetheless, we obtain a quantitative formulation of the Kochen-Stone Theorem using Tao's notion of metastability.

AS TRIBUTAÇÕES AUTÓNOMAS E A DUPLA TRIBUTAÇÃO DAS EMPRESAS. BREVE REFLEXÃO SOBRE AS INCOERÊNCIAS DO SISTEMA FISCAL PORTUGUÊS
Authors: Pereira de Sousa Domingos
Published: February 2022

Resumo: O sistema fiscal português apresenta incongruências e contradições que põem em crise os princípios constitucionais da justiça fiscal e a ética nas relações entre o Estado e os contribuintes. Por imperativo constitucional, o lucro tributável deve ser igual ao lucro real, apurado na contabilidade, resulta anómalo que a lei considere certos gastos comprovadamente suportados pelas empresas, todavia, não são dedutíveis para efeito do cálculo do lucro tributável. Os pagamentos por conta e as tributações autónomas geram pagamentos de imposto mesmo quando não se apura lucro real, e tributação agravada nos casos em que a empresa tem prejuízo, o que viola os princípios da justiça tributária, em especial o princípio da capacidade contributiva, enquanto fundamento e limite do poder de tributar.

Имперская идея в системе международных отношений
Authors: Oskina Olga I. , Kudryashova Ekaterina Vi. , Dzhantaleeva Madina Sh.
Published: February 2022

Статья посвящена вопросам появления и развития имперской идеи, как теоретического конструкта, так и в сфере практической реализации, в системе международных отношений. Актуальность данной тематики обусловлена формообразующим началом имперской идеи, ее объединяющим и интеграционным потенциалом. Кроме этого современные международные процессы все чаще пересекаются с дискурсом имперской идеи, которая используется для объяснения тех или иных действий и решений, предпринимаемых политическими акторами на международной арене. Авторы анализируют понятия «империя» и «имперская идея», прослеживая коннотационные изменения в процессе научного употребления данных терминов. Особую значимость данные проблемы приобретают на современном этапе, в условиях глобальных трансформаций всей системы международных отношений и наметившихся контуров новой международной архитектуры. Изучение отдельных аспектов функционирования, развития и гибели империй, позволяет выявить устойчивые связи в совокупности причин и наличие многовекторных течений в системе международных отношений. Авторы анализируют феномен «империи» в контексте интеграционно/дезинтеграционных процессов, выявляют особенности и исторические факторы, определяющим образом сказывающихся на динамике имперской идеи и ее практическом воплощении, при сохранении сущностных характеристик, таких как централизация власти и стремление к пространственному расширению. Весь ход мировой истории продемонстрировал, что империя – это специфический инструмент перераспределения избыточного продукта между народами в пользу более сильного государства, что позволило ему развиваться ускоренными темпами.`
Политическая культура евразийских элит: от частного к общему
Authors: Karabushenko Paul L.
Published: February 2022

Мировая политика представляет собой сферу глобального конфликта, распадающегося на множество региональных столкновений. Прежде всего, конфликт касается элит и их лидеров. Мы живем в мире, который не умеет жить в мире. Конфликты, особенно политические, стали нормой общественного бытия и смысла существования тех, кто извлекает выгоды из политической сферы деятельности. В сущности своей это есть борьба ценностей - олигархические ценности позднего индустриализма борются с меритократическими ценностями раннего постиндустриализма (информационного общества). Результатом этой борьбы стал кризис идентичности «старых» политических систем и рост деструктивности в международных отношениях.В настоящее время мы наблюдаем процесс глобального переформатирования геополитического пространства. Эти изменения заставляют меняться в первую очередь сами политические элиты и их национальных лидеров. И мы достаточно часто наблюдаем, как элитные политические круги не справляются с вызовом своей исторической эпохи, вследствие крайне низкого уровня своей профессиональной компетенции. Следствием этих изменений становится стремительный рост элементов карнавальной политической культуры, поражающих своим вирусом деструктивности в первую очередь элитарные политические круги.

"SER E TEMPO" E A ONTOLOGIA EXISTENCIAL DE MARTIN HEIDEGGER
Authors: Cardoso Ciro Portella , Costa Marcelo Cacinotti , Brutti Tiago Anderson
Published: February 2022

Este trabalho busca compreender a centralidade da pergunta pelo ser na obra “Ser e tempo”, do filósofo alemão Martin Heidegger. A obra, publicada em 1927, corresponde a uma investigação ontológica, por assim dizer, concreta, que busca esclarecer o sentido do ser partindo de um ente determinado, o ente que somos nós. Heidegger é reconhecido como um dos pensadores mais influentes do século XX. A obra “Ser e tempo” representa, com efeito, um marco da filosofia contemporânea. O pensamento de Heidegger abrange diferentes áreas do conhecimento, as quais servem como fonte de inspiração para a construção das obras do filósofo.
