Published: January 2022

Despite vaccine availability, the global spread of COVID-19 continues, largely facilitated by emerging SARS-CoV-2 mutations. Our earlier research documented that a specific combination of plant-derived compounds can inhibit SARS-CoV-2 binding to its ACE2 receptor and controlling key cellular mechanisms of viral infectivity. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of a defined mixture of plant extracts and micronutrients against original SARS-CoV-2 and its Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Kappa, and Mu variants. The composition containing vitamin C, N-acetylcysteine, resveratrol, theaflavin, curcumin, quercetin, naringenin, baicalin, and broccoli extract demonstrated a highest efficacy by inhibiting the receptor-binding domain (RBD) binding of SARS-CoV-2 to its cellular ACE2 receptor by 90%. In vitro exposure of test pseudo-typed variants to this formula for 1 h before or simultaneously administrated to human pulmonary cells resulted in up to 60% inhibition in their cellular entry. Additionally, this composition significantly inhibited other cellular mechanisms of viral infectivity, including the activity of viral RdRp, furin, and cathepsin L. These findings demonstrate the efficacy of natural compounds against SARS-CoV-2 including its mutated forms through pleiotropic mechanisms. Our results imply that simultaneous inhibition of multiple mechanisms of viral infection of host cells could be an effective strategy to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Quantum Field Theories, Topological Materials, and Topological Quantum Computing
Authors:   ,   Portland State University, Ilyas Muhammad
Published: January 2022

A quantum computer can perform exponentially faster than its classical counterpart. It works on the principle of superposition. But due to the decoherence effect, the superposition of a quantum state gets destroyed by the interaction with the environment. It is a real challenge to completely isolate a quantum system to make it free of decoherence. This problem can be circumvented by the use of topological quantum phases of matter. These phases have quasiparticles excitations called anyons. The anyons are charge-flux composites and show exotic fractional statistics. When the order of exchange matters, then the anyons are called non-Abelian anyons. Majorana fermions in topological superconductors and quasiparticles in some quantum Hall states are non-Abelian anyons. Such topological phases of matter have a ground state degeneracy. The fusion of two or more non-Abelian anyons can result in a superposition of several anyons. The topological quantum gates are implemented by braiding and fusion of the non-Abelian anyons. The fault-tolerance is achieved through the topological degrees of freedom of anyons. Such degrees of freedom are non-local, hence inaccessible to the local perturbations. In this dissertation, we provide a comprehensive review of the fundamentals of logic design in topological quantum computing. The braid group and knot invariants in the skein theory are discussed. The physical insight behind the braiding is explained by the geometric phases and the gauge transformation. The mathematical models for the fusion and braiding are presented in terms of the category theory and the quantum deformation of the recoupling theory. The topological phases of matter are described by the topology of band structure. The wave function of quasiparticles in the quantum Hall effect and the theory of Majorana fermions in topological superconductors are also discussed. The dynamics of the charge-flux composites and their Hilbert space are expressed through the Chern-Simons theory and the two-dimensional topological quantum field theory. The Ising and Fibonacci anyonic models for binary gates are briefly given. Ternary logic gates are more compact than their binary counterparts and naturally arise in a type of anyonic model called the metaplectic anyons. We reduced the quantum cost of the existing ternary quantum arithmetic gates and proposed that these gates can be implemented with the metaplectic anyons.

Significance Statement

Familial hyperkalemic hypertension (FHHt) results from inappropriate activation of the Na+Cl– cotransporter (NCC). Causative mutations have been identified in the gene encoding Cullin3 (CUL3). Cullin3 with the substrate binding adaptor Kelch-like 3 (KLHL3) forms an E3 ubiquitin ligase that mediates degradation of NCC regulatory kinases. The mechanism by which mutant CUL3 causes FHHt is unclear, but lower abundance of CUL3 and KLHL3 proteins and loss of binding to the CUL3 regulator JAB1 have been implicated. Using several mouse models, we found that mutant CUL3 potently induced KLHL3 degradation. Mice heterozygous for CUL3 and KLHL3 displayed an FHHt-like phenotype. JAB1 disruption mimicked the effects of mutant CUL3 expression. Our data show that reduced functional KLHL3 and CUL3 play a central role in FHHt.

Background

Mutations in the ubiquitin ligase scaffold protein Cullin 3 (CUL3) gene cause the disease familial hyperkalemic hypertension (FHHt). In the kidney, mutant CUL3 (CUL3-Δ9) increases abundance of With-No-Lysine (K) Kinase 4 (WNK4), inappropriately activating sterile 20/SPS-1–related proline/alanine-rich kinase (SPAK), which then phosphorylates and hyperactivates the Na+Cl– cotransporter (NCC). The precise mechanism by which CUL3-Δ9 causes FHHt is unclear. We tested the hypothesis that reduced abundance of CUL3 and of Kelch-like 3 (KLHL3), the CUL3 substrate adaptor for WNK4, is mechanistically important. Because JAB1, an enzyme that inhibits CUL3 activity by removing the ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8, cannot interact with CUL3-Δ9, we also determined whether Jab1 disruption mimicked the effects of CUL3-Δ9 expression.

Methods

We used an inducible renal tubule-specific system to generate several mouse models expressing CUL3-Δ9, mice heterozygous for both CUL3 and KLHL3 (Cul3+/−/Klhl3+/−
), and mice with short-term Jab1 disruption (to avoid renal injury associated with long-term disruption).

Results

Renal KLHL3 was higher in Cul3−/−
mice, but lower in Cul3−/−/Δ9
mice and in the Cul3+/−/Δ9
FHHt model, suggesting KLHL3 is a target for both WT and mutant CUL3. Cul3+/−/Klhl3+/−
mice displayed increased WNK4-SPAK activation and phospho-NCC abundance and an FHHt-like phenotype with increased plasma [K+] and salt-sensitive blood pressure. Short-term Jab1 disruption in mice lowered the abundance of CUL3 and KLHL3 and increased the abundance of WNK4 and phospho-NCC.

Conclusions

Jab1−/−
mice and Cul3+/−/Klhl3+/−
mice recapitulated the effects of CUL3-Δ9 expression on WNK4-SPAK-NCC. Our data suggest degradation of both KLHL3 and CUL3 plays a central mechanistic role in CUL3-Δ9–mediated FHHt.

Developing higher education’s academic literacy in English through tutorials in a Spanish-speaking country
Authors: Sandoval Muñoz Catalina
Published: January 2022

Durante los últimos veinte años, la alfabetización académica en la educación superior ha sido una importante área de interés. En Latinoamérica, las primeras iniciativas para desarrollar la escritura en educación superior datan del año 2000 y van desde propuestas pedagógicas hasta la creación de centros de escritura (Arango & Ávila, 2020). Este estudio se sitúa en Armadillo Lab, un centro de escritura recientemente creado en una universidad chilena que ofrece tutorías de escritura académica a estudiantes de pre y postgrado, en español e inglés. Las tutorías en inglés hacen a este centro único en Chile. Este estudio cuantitativo y cualitativo incluye 16 estudiantes atendidos durante 13 meses y el análisis inductivo de 33 muestras escritas. Los objetivos son determinar qué géneros escriben los estudiantes en inglés, analizar su producción, describir el soporte recibido y mostrar el impacto de las tutorías en su escritura. Los hallazgos revelan una gama de géneros académicos y profesionales, los que fueron más comunes a nivel de postgrado. El análisis mostró además dificultades textuales y de conocimiento de los géneros. Por último, las tutorías tuvieron un impacto positivo en las habilidades de escritura en inglés, en especial de quienes consultaban más frecuentemente. Este estudio es el primero en Chile cuyo foco es la producción de géneros escritos en inglés con el soporte de un centro de escritura, abriendo camino a más investigaciones en alfabetización académica en inglés en países de habla hispana y al desarrollo de material pedagógico específico para escritura en inglés dirigido a hablantes de español.

Lipids in microalgae: Quantitation by acid-dichromate method in microtiter plate v1
Authors: Hu Yingyu , V Finkel Zoe
Published: January 2022

This is a protocol for quantitating total lipids in microalgae. The acid-dichromate method is widely used to perform colorimetric analysis of extracted lipids. Here we present a protocol using 96-well microtiter plate for safe and efficient sample handling with high throughput. Only 500 ul of 0.15% acid-dichromate is required for each sample, which greatly reduces the amount of corrosive and toxic reagent. In addition, comparing with the absorbance at 440 nm, the absorbance at 348 nm yields five-time higher sensitivity in lipids quantitation. Total lipids in the samples should not excess 80 ug. Accurate quantitation can be achieved with as little as 20 ug. A working detection limit is about 5 ug.

В статье рассматриваются основные особенности техногенной среды и ее влияние на развитие культуры и институтов памяти. Человек, становясь творцом нового типа искусственного мира, сам изменяется под его воздействием, а техносфера требует от человека приспособления к новой реальности. Изменение ценностных координат человека влияет на культурные институции, особенно на институты памяти (музеи, архивы, библиотеки). Наследие прошлого не является больше социальной ценностью, а становится одной из сфер «потребления». Меняется само понятие коммуникации для музея. Музей «существует» одновременно в реальном и виртуальном пространстве. Мы наблюдаем разрыв между физическим пространством человека и пространством его общения. Посетитель становится пассивным участником музейной коммуникации. Избежать негативных последствий возможно при ином понимании правил визуальной культуры и изучении моделей формирования музейной потребности у посетителя.
U.S. policy toward China under the administration of Donald Trump
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Gorodnia Nataliia
Published: January 2022

This paper intends to describe and discuss the major shifts in the U.S. policy toward China under the administration of Donald Trump. Methodology. The research is based on historical methods, including a chronological approach, a study of primary sources and a comparative analysis. The developments in the U.S. policy are considered at the background of new strategic approaches and their implementation on the bilateral and regional levels. Conclusions. The paper suggests that a shift in the U.S. policy toward China started in 2018, and it was caused by a new understanding of «China threat» for the U.S. economic and strategic interests. Strategic documents of Trump administration defined China as the most important competitor and «a revisionist state» that sought to dominate in the Indo-Pacific and to shape the world antithetical to American values and interests. The new understanding resulted from more assertive China’s policies in the East China and South China seas, its global expansion through «One belt–one road» initiative, a sharp technological and ideological competition with U.S., and other factors. First and foremost, the policy change manifested itself during U.S. – China trade war, and Trump’s attempts «to decouple» their economics. Regionally, Trump administration proposed and sought to implement «a free and open Indo-Pacific strategy» to promote a rule-based regional order together with U. S. partners at the multilateral and bilateral levels. D. Trump dropped any reliance on cooperation with China on North Korea denuclearization, and he became the first U. S. president who started a direct dialogue with the supreme leader of DPRK. American government lifted self-restrictions on contacts with Taiwan officials, however within «one China policy». U.S. Congress voted for a series of sanctions against China for the human rights violation reasons in Hong Kong and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Trump’s China policy had a bipartisan support. As a result, it was expected that a new administration would not change the policy in substance.
US sanctions against the USSR in response to soviet aggression in Afghanistan (1980 – 1988)
Authors:   V. Vynnychenko Central Ukraine State Pedagogical University, Kovalkov Oleksandr
Published: January 2022

The aim of the article is to studу the sanctions against the Soviet Union imposed by the United States in response to Soviet aggression in the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. At the core of the research methodology is the method of a content analysis of historical sources, problem-chronological, typological, comparative methods. Main results and conclusions. The Soviet intervention in Afghanistan in December 1979 was condemned by most countries in the world. The reaction to those events on the part of the United States, which led to the escalation of the Cold War and the deterioration of Soviet-American relations, was especially sharp. The continuation of the policy of sanctions announced by President J. Carter in 1980 became the main means of putting pressure on the USSR under the Reagan΄s Administration. The stages of introduction of trade, economic and scientific-technological restrictions on the USSR and discussions about them in American political and business circles have been observed. Thanks to the efforts of American diplomacy, the US allies in Western Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan and other countries joined the sanctions. It was found that the main direction of sanctions was the restriction on the sale to the USSR of equipment for the fuel and energy complex, high-tech products and the refusal to provide «cheap» loans. The effects of the sanctions were exacerbated by falling oil prices in 1985–1986, in which, according to the author, could be involved the United States. The purpose of American sanctions policy was to force the Soviet leadership to make internal changes, as well as to revise the principles of foreign policy, in particular, in the «Afghan question». American sanctions had a detrimental effect on the Soviet economy, deepened the crisis of the Soviet system and contributed to the further technological backwardness of the USSR from developed countries. Scientific novelty. The sanctions against the Soviet Union imposed by the United States in connection with the Soviet aggression in the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan on the base of new US sources are specified for the first time.
US Secretaries of State: roles and positioning in the system of power in the second half of the twentieth century
Authors:   National Aviation University, Klynina Tetiana
Published: January 2022

The article is devoted to the interaction of US presidents and their secretaries of state in the second half of the twentieth century, when there was a modernization of foreign policy services, changes in the development and implementation of foreign policy. This has led to a more careful choice of one of the most important actors in shaping the country’s foreign policy – US Secretary of State. Emphasis is placed on the place and role of the Secretary of State in the US executive branch. The purpose of the article is to analyze the circumstances of the appointment of heads of state departments, their activities and interaction with US presidents. The methodological basis of the article was the principle of historicism; a systematic approach, problem-chronological and descriptive methods were used. The scientific novelty of the study is an attempt to show not so much complexity and fragility in the interaction of the tandem «president – secretary of state». The article traces the sequence of positions held by state secretaries, analyzes their professional experience and personal qualities, which most likely determined the nature of relations with the president, as well as influenced the nature of the country’s foreign policy. It is shown how differences in specific issues between presidents and secretaries of state could cost the latter. Conclusions. Considering the changes in the structure and functions of the US State Department after the Second World War, the author concludes that the role and place of the US Secretary of State is conditioned by the priority of foreign policy. With the onset of the Cold War, the White House began to pay more attention to the development and implementation of foreign policy than in previous decades. At the same time, along with the increase in the role of the President in foreign policy, there is a decrease in the role of the Secretary of State in this area. It is determined that most appointments to the post of US Secretary of State in the second half of the twentieth century were made for political and ideological reasons, and only a few of the secretaries were professional politicians. At the same time, the professionalism of the Secretary of State was not always a guarantee of the duration of his tenure. At the same time, the author emphasizes the uniqueness, professionalism, ambition, efficiency of each head of the State Department during the period under review.
FOLKLORE COMPETENCE IN THE REPRESENTATION OF CULTURAL IDENTITY IN SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ ESSAYS
Authors: Juško-Štekele Angelika
Published: January 2022

The article, using the theory of conceptual analysis and the principles of SOLO (Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes) taxonomy, analyses the manifestations of folklore competence in the essays of secondary school students, available in the corpus of essays www.korpuss.lv. The levels of folklore competence were determined by analysing the use of lexemes belonging to the semantic field of folklore in secondary school students’ essays. Out of 157 (or 34%) essays containing lexemes belonging to the semantic field of folklore, the majority (i.e. 43%) show the lowest level of folklore competence with domination of the naming function without further elaboration, or is limited to a broader elaboration of just one element without any perceived correlation with a broader folklore context. At the second level of folklore competence that can be observed in 45 essays (29%), secondary school students show the ability not only to name but also to classify into simpler systems 2- 3 realia belonging to the semantic field of folklore. At the third level of competence represented in 9 essays (or 6%), secondary school students show the ability to reason, analyse, explain causes, integrate, infer and identify problems using 4-6 lexemes belonging to the semantic field of folklore. The overview of the essays written in 2018 shows that most of the secondary school pupils’ folklore interests are related to the events dedicated to Latvia’s centenary, in particular Latvian Song and Dance Festival, which is typologically connected with the folk songs and Cabinet of Dainas (‘dainu skapis’) collected by Krisjanis Barons. In terms of genres, secondary school pupils have mostly stayed in the genre of fairy tale, which dominates at the first level of folklore competence (43 out of 100 essays), but it often merges with the understanding of the literary fairy tale and is subject to a formal application of genres. The study shows that folklore competence at its highest possible levels is more convincingly demonstrated by pupils from minority schools, which may be explained by the socio-cultural competence building content included in the minority school curricula.
Climate Legislation of the Russian Federation: Opportunities and Potential in the Conditions of Energy Transition
Authors: Zhavoronkova N. G. , Agafonov V. B.
Published: January 2022

The paper is devoted to identifying current trends and assessing the current prospects for the development of Russian climate legislation in the context of implementation of the European Green Deal that provides for refusing the use of minerals and transiting to renewable energy sources by 2050. Based on the results of a comprehensive analysis of national regulatory legal acts, including documents of state strategic planning of the first goal-setting level on the climate agenda, primarily the Climate Doctrine of the Russian Federation, the National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation, and the Strategy of Socio-Economic Development of Russia with a low level greenhouse gas emissions until 2050, the authors substantiate the conclusion according to which the Russian Federation has all the possibilities for a relatively stable and safe energy transition. The new Federal Law of 02.07.2021 No. 296-FZ «On Limiting Greenhouse Gas Emissions» constitutes a turning point in climate legislation that completely changed approaches to balancing environmental and economic interests. The adoption of the Law opens up opportunities for an innovative ecological and economic development, facilitates the synthesis of economic and environmental benefits gained from the carbon units’ circulation, and launches a complex process of gradual rejection of the commodity trend. However, to what extent this Law will be adapted and applicable to the already existing environmental legislation and to what extent the environmental legislation is ready to radical changes concerning principles and approaches to the regulation of relevant legal relations is a priority task that deserves the broadest attention.
The Legal Status of the Biological Father in the Case of Multiple Paternity: A European Comparative Analysis
Authors: Wudarski A. , Ulianova M. V.
Published: January 2022

The modern development of social relations and reproductive technologies has brought new questions and actualized interest in the situation of plurality on the father’s side. The problem that needs to be resolved is the search for a balance of interests of interested persons with a discrepancy between biological and legal paternity, taking into account the rights of the child, the search for an optimal solution. A European researcher focused on the ideal family model drew attention to the fact that it often does not correspond to social reality, which creates problems and does not always serve the interests of the child. The extension of the rights of the biological father is also considered in the context of legal protection of the sense of quality of life. The purpose of this work is to identify and study the rights of the biological father, to find a balance of interests and rights in the relations developing in the family sphere. The authors identified the interests of the parties, determined the objective rights of interested persons, determined the limits of the exercise of the rights of the biological father to establish paternity in the absence of a registered marriage with the mother of the child. Conclusions are drawn about the trends in the development of legal regulation, the need to maintain a balance of interests of persons in modern real relationships, taking into account the interests and rights of the child. It is noted that the identified problems are characteristic of different states; legal regulation based on a single presumption in different states has differences in the details and variants of behaviors established by the legislator. The conclusions drawn can be used as a basis for the development of concepts of fatherhood, proposals for the development of legislation regarding the exercise of personal rights of fathers and children, taking into account the balance of rights and interests of individuals.
Exact solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations for describing an isobaric one-directional vertical vortex flow of a fluid

Published: January 2022

The article proposes a family of exact solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations for describing isobaric inhomogeneous unidirectional fluid motions. Due to the incompressibility equation, the velocity of the inhomogeneous Couette flow depends on two coordinates and time. The expression for the velocity field has a wide functional arbitrariness. This exact solution is obtained by the method of separation of variables, and both algebraic operations (additivity and multiplicativity) are used to substantiate the importance of modifying the classical Couette flow. The article contains extensive bibliographic information that makes it possible to trace a change in the exact Couette solution for various areas of the hydrodynamics of a Newtonian incompressible fluid. The fluid flow is described by a polynomial depending on one variable (horizontal coordinate). The coefficients of the polynomial functionally depend on the second (vertical) coordinate and time; they are determined by a chain of the simplest homogeneous and inhomogeneous partial differential parabolic-type equations. The chain of equations is obtained by the method of undetermined coefficients after substituting the exact solution into the Navier–Stokes equation. An algorithm for integrating a system of ordinary differential equations for studying the steady motion of a viscous fluid is presented. In this case, all the functions defining velocity are polynomials. It is shown that the topology of the vorticity vector and shear stresses has a complex structure even without convective mixing (creeping flow).
Analysis of specific kinetic energy for the Birikh–Ostroumov shear diffusion flow
Authors:   Institute of Engineering Science, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Burmasheva N. V. , Prosviryakov E. Yu. ,   Institute of Engineering Science, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: January 2022

The article presents a new exact solution for stratified steady-state shear diffusion flows of a viscous fluid in an infinite horizontal layer with impenetrable boundaries. The announced exact solution belongs to the Ostroumov–Birikh family. Two components of the velocity vector depend on the vertical (transverse) coordinate. The concentration field and the pressure field are described by linear forms relative to horizontal (longitudinal) coordinates, with coefficients depending on the third coordinate. The components of the velocity field and the shear stress field are analyzed in detail, and the behavior of the specific kinetic energy is studied. It is shown that this exact solution is capable of describing the stratification of the shear stress field and the nonmonotonic behavior of flow velocity. The relation of flow velocities and shear stresses to the distribution of specific kinetic energy is revealed.

Hoje em dia, o tradutor tem um sem-número de recursos para auxiliá-lo em seu ofício, sendo que saber usá-los faz parte da subcompetência de tradução denominada instrumental (HURTADO ALBIR, 2005, 2015a, 2015b; PACTE, 2009). Sem dúvida, é necessário ter competência para surfar em meio a tanto material, grande parte do qual disponibilizada em formato eletrônico. Mas, se, por um lado, o tradutor precisa saber usar os recursos a ele oferecidos, por outro, é preciso desenvolver material que seja prático, eficaz e confiável. A falta de material de referência para lidar com a tradução de abreviaturas médicas foi a base para a construção de um glossário bilíngue (português/ inglês) de abreviaturas na área da reumatologia. Ainda que essas formas reduzidas sejam recorrentes no texto médico, elas continuam a desafiar o tradutor. Este artigo descreve algumas das fases de construção desse glossário e discute a relação entre a elaboração de material de referência e a subcompetência instrumental.

A seleção e o reconhecimento das primeiras vocalizações produzidas por uma criança como dados linguísticos é um tema árduo para as pesquisas que estudam corpora infantis longitudinais. Quais sonorizações infantis devem compor o corpus? A seleção, o reconhecimento, o registro, as anotações contextuais e a interpretação discursiva são escolhas sutis que estão sujeitas a questionamento e amadurecimento. Este breve ensaio se propõe a ilustrar o tema com uma análise de exemplos provenientes do corpus compilado pelo grupo Corpus Infantil Longitudinal (CIL) de acordo com a abordagem interacionista. As interpretações servem-se parcialmente do rol de categorias do Inventory of Communicative Acts-Abridged (1994).
idade reflete o domínio linguístico? Efeito das medidas de desempenho na análise de dados em aquisição fonológica

Published: January 2022

Este artigo examina dois critérios de organização de dados para comparação intersujeitos em aquisição fonológica: Faixa Etária, um critério que é largamente utilizado na organização de dados para comparação intersujeitos, e o Desempenho na Tarefa, que compara o desempenho entre sujeitos a partir do percentual de respostas em acordo com a produção adulta. Argumentamos que as medidas de desempenho devem ser baseadas na própria tarefa em análise, já que o desenvolvimento linguístico não é uniforme. Cotejando os resultados obtidos pela aplicação de ambos os critérios na análise de dois fenômenos, o vozeamento de fricativas alveolares em coda e a ramificação de ataque silábico, demonstra-se que o Desempenho na Tarefa promove maior consistência na organização de grupos, neutralizando as diferenças individuais observadas no desenvolvimento linguístico infantil e revelando padrões congruentes no uso de estratégias de reparo. Com estes resultados, sugere-se que a medida de desempenho é mais eficaz que medidas cronológicas à organização, análise e interpretação de dados em aquisição fonológica.

Published: January 2022

Brushless DC motors (BLDC) are one of the most widely used types of DC motors, both in the industrial and automotive fields. BLDC motor was chosen because it has many advantages over other types of electric motors. However, in its application in the market, most of the control systems used in BLDC motors still use conventional controls. This conventional method is easy and simple to apply but has many weaknesses, one example is that if the system state changes, then the parameters of the PID must also be changed so that static and dynamic performance will decrease, causing slow response and frequent oscillations. In this study, the design and simulation of a speed control system for BLDC motors using the Fuzzy-PID method were carried out. The research method is performed through simulation with Matlab / Simulink. The simulation is carried out by providing a speed setpoint input of 650 rpm and used 2 methods, namely Fuzzy-PID Logic and Pi conventional method which was carried out for 1 second. The test results show that the Fuzzy-PID control can provide better and more stable performance than the conventional PI control. The use of Fuzzy-PID control can reduce speed fluctuation and torque stability so that the BLDC motor can operate more efficiently and reliably.

Анотація. Визначено, що інформатизація економічного простору зумовлює зростання ролі консалтингу у фінансово-інвестиційному забезпеченні розвитку економік українських регіонів. Установлено на основі результатів регіонального виміру рівня локалізації консалтингової діяльності в Україні наявність диспропорцій у розвитку управлінського консалтингу у 2014—2019 рр. Констатовано, що споживання консалтингових послуг у регіонах має дискретний, фрагментарний характер. Виокремлено групи регіонів залежно від рівня попиту на послуги управлінського консалтингу. Виявлено, що особливості концентрації консалтингу обумовлені економічним становищем регіонів, їхньою спеціалізацією, територіальним зосередженням бізнесу у великих містах, наявністю гострої конкуренції серед консалтингових фірм. З’ясовано, що перешкодою до зростання ринку консалтингових послуг у регіонах є слабке розуміння керівниками територіальних органів влади і бізнес-структур ефективності професійного консалтингу при вирішенні конкретних соціально-економічних завдань. Запропоновано для поширення консалтингу в регіонах України створення регіональних центрів розвитку консалтингового співтовариства на основі організації мережі філій у напрямку від центру регіонального консалтингового ринку (обласних центрів) до прилеглих територіальних утворень. Зазначено, що поліпшенню консалтингового клімату в регіонах сприятиме формування дієвої системи правового регулювання консалтингової діяльності, розроблення механізмів ефективної взаємодії консалтингових структур, активізація діяльності професійних об’єднань консультантів, формування єдиної системи довідкової інформації про надавачів консалтингових послуг, оприлюднення результатів діяльності консалтингових фірм у засобах масової інформації, а також удосконалення консалтингової діяльності банківських установ. Ключові слова: консалтинг, фінансово-інвестиційне забезпечення, консалтингова діяльність банків, розвиток, регіональна економіка. Формул: 1; рис.: 2; табл.: 2; бібл.: 21.
FACTORS OF THE GENDER WAGE GAP AT UKRAINIAN ENERGY ENTERPRISES

Published: January 2022

Abstract. Using the results of the sample survey, conducted among the energy companies during the fourth quartal of 2020 within the grant, provided by ESP USAID we have obtained new empirical evidence of size and factors of the gender wage gap in Ukrainian energetics and about spreading of that phenomenon among different professions groups. As the main factors, determining the size of wage were considered the educational level (four groups were identified), length of service in the company (five groups were identified), and respondent’s position / workplace in the company’s qualification hierarchy (eight groups were identified).
The results obtained evidences, that leading factor in the gender pay gap in Ukrainian energetics is the unequal access of women and men to gaining the characteristics necessary for increasing wages. In particular, the disparity in the distribution of the total number of female and male respondents between the qualification levels (the average qualification level of women is 4.8 vs. 5.4 for men).
Gender gap formation through unequal remuneration of labour of women and men who have similar characteristics of experience, qualifications and complexity of the work is localized in the lower qualification levels (from the 2nd to the 4th), and through inequality of access to high-paying work is manifested in the absence of women at the highest (8th) qualification level, a clear predominance of men at the 7th qualification level and a noticeable predominance at the third qualification level, which in terms of payment outscores both the 5th and 6th qualification levels. Accordingly, the leading factor in the gender pay gap is the predominance of men at the three highest paid qualification levels.
Localization of differences in remuneration of similar characteristics of qualifications, experience and complexity of work at lower levels of the qualification hierarchy, as well as the weakening of such inequality as the experience of employees increases, indicates that the problem of gender inequality is more inherent in the segment of «peripheral» employment. As the skills and experience grow (respectively, the value of employees to employers), the problem of gender pay inequality becomes less noticeable. However, the number of women who reach a level in their career growth where gender pay inequality is almost not observed is less than the number of men.
Keywords: gender wage gap, unexplained part of gender wage gap, professions groups, inequality of access to high-paying work, energetics.

Abstract. The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities of precarization as the property of the modern labor market in Ukraine that is spreading under the conditions of imbalance of the country’s employment system; to examine the positive and negative aspects of the impact of precarious employment on the domestic labor market and its regulation in order to preserve the labor potential of the country. The study uses the methods of generalization, comparison, analysis and synthesis — to understand the essence of precarization and the peculiarities of the precariat formation as a special class; secondary analysis of statistical and sociological data — to identify the prerequisites for precarization, positive and negative consequences of precarization for Ukraine; graphical method — for clarity of data and a schematic presentation of the main provisions of the study. This paper considers the essence of the concept of «precarization» and defines the main attributes of precarious employment, among which the most significant are the absence or restriction of the rights of the employee in the workplace, access to social protection mechanisms, guarantees in obtaining a stable, permanent, legal workplace and income, ensuring decent work. It has been proven that in Ukraine the negative consequences of precarization prevail because Ukrainians are mostly forced to become precarians. Indicators of labor precarization in Ukraine have been determined and systematically analyzed. The scientific novelty is the systematization of precarious employment descriptors in the conditions of the labor market deformation in Ukraine. The results of the study can be used in the development of strategic plans for employment of the population, scientifically based monitoring of the implementation of the European Employment Strategy in terms of precarization of the labor market, and also form the basis for further research in this area.

Authors: Caballero de la Espriella Hno. Andrés Felipe , Pérez Vargas John Jairo
Published: January 2022

Las actividades rectoras propuestas por el Ministerio de Educación Nacional (MEN), con sus intencionalidades pedagógicas y didácticas, se desarrollan en la primera infancia como un medio para posibilitar aprendizajes significativos para los niños y las niñas que inician su proceso de formación. En esta, la conexión del ser humano consigo mismo, con el otro y con la naturaleza no solo es importante, sino necesaria para fortalecer la dimensión espiritual de los niños, las niñas y sus familias en relación con la creación, y así generar una consciencia orientada hacia la formación ambiental, la sensibilidad por el entorno, el cuidado de los recursos y responsabilidad por los demás. De esta manera, a partir de un ejercicio cualitativo de narrativas fundamentado en una experiencia formativa, el presente texto busca interpelar la relación que se puede tejer entre las actividades rectoras del MEN y la ecoteología para el cuidado de la casa común.
