Mindfulness, acceptance, and emotion regulation: Perspectives from Monitor and Acceptance Theory (MAT)
Authors: Lindsay Emily K , Creswell J. David
Published: October 2019

Experiential acceptance—an orientation of receptivity and noninterference with present-moment experiences—is described as central to mindfulness interventions, yet little experimental work has tested acceptance as a mechanism for mindfulness intervention effects. Guided by Monitor and Acceptance Theory (MAT), this review situates acceptance as an emotion regulation mechanism and reviews self-report mindfulness literature showing that attention monitoring skills are only associated with beneficial mental and physical health outcomes when accompanied by acceptance skills. New experimental dismantling work shows that removing acceptance training from mindfulness interventions reduces their efficacy for improving stress, positive emotion, and social relationship outcomes. Overall, converging evidence demonstrates that acceptance is a critical emotion regulation mechanism of mindfulness interventions. This work advances basic research, has translational value, and offers opportunities for future research.
Accidental disgust does not cause moral condemnation of neutral actions
Authors: Jylkkä Jussi , Härkönen Johanna , Hyönä Jukka
Published: October 2019

Emotivism in moral psychology holds that making moral judgements is at least partly an affective process. Three emotivist hypotheses can be distinguished: the elicitation hypothesis (that moral transgressions elicit emotions); the amplification hypothesis (that disgust amplifies moral judgments); and the moralization hypothesis (that affect moralizes the non-moral). Even though the moralization hypothesis is the strongest and most radical form of emotivism, it has not been systematically experimentally tested. Most previous studies have used as stimuli morally wrong actions, and thus they cannot answer whether disgust is sufficient to moralize an otherwise neutral action. In Experiment 1 (N = 87) we tested the effect of accidental disgust on morally neutral scenarios, and in Experiment 2 (N = 510) the differential effect of disgust on neutral and wrong scenarios. The results did not support either the moralization or the amplification hypothesis. Instead, Bayesian analyses provided substantial evidence for the null hypothesis that accidental disgust does not affect moral ratings. In line with recent literature, our study indicates that disgust is not a moralizing emotion. Data and materials are available at https://osf.io/wbyfu/
Salivary Cortisol Reactivity to Psychological Stressors in Infancy: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Puhakka Ilmari , Peltola Mikko J.
Published: October 2019

Measurement of salivary cortisol is a practical and non-invasive tool for studying stress reactivity to various types of stressors even in young infants. Whereas studies using physical stressors during the first months of life have found robust cortisol responses to painful stimuli, research with older infants using psychological stressors (e.g., parental separation) has produced mixed findings, limiting our understanding of potential developmental changes in cortisol reactivity across infancy. In the present study, we used meta-analysis to systematically investigate whether psychological stressor paradigms are associated with measurable cortisol responses in infants under 18 months of age and whether the magnitude of the responses is moderated by the type of psychological stressor (i.e., separation, frustration, novelty, or disruption of parental interaction), infant age, and other potential moderators. Across 48 studies (N = 4095, age range: 3-18 months), we found that commonly used psychological stressor paradigms are associated with a small (Hedges’ g = .11) increase in salivary cortisol levels in typically developing infants. Stressor type moderated the effect sizes, and when effect sizes in each category were analyzed separately, only the separation studies were associated with a consistent increase in cortisol following the stressor. Age did not moderate the effect sizes either in the full set of studies or within the separate stressor types. These meta-analytic results indicate that the normative cortisol response to psychological stressors across infancy is small and emphasize the need for standardized stressor paradigms to assess cortisol responses systematically across infancy.

Published: October 2019

Os saberes construídos cotidianamente no universo de terreiros de Candomblé, sua história oral, tradição, axé e ancestralidade afro-brasileira são epistemologias decoloniais, uma Pedagogia de Terreiro que tem muito a contribuir para a formação do sujeito e de sua identidade. O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar caminhos na construção do conhecimento de saberes afro-referenciados apresentando críticas ao atual modelo escolar legitimador de uma cultura de intolerância e racismo, em que a escola rejeita/exclui a identidade ancestral/cultural que o estudante negro traz consigo. Defendemos  que a partir dos Estudos Culturais é possível construir rupturas com o paradigma colonial racista judaico-cristão, pela formação de uma cultura que contemple as diferenças, baseada no respeito.

ARGUMENTATIVE POWER: A Critical Discourse Analysis to Selected Texts for Academic Purpose
Authors: Sukmawati Nur Najibah , Nasution Sukma Septian
Published: October 2019

A text deserves comprehensive analyses on its textual structure as well as socio-cultural context to meet readersâ€™ comprehension. This paper aims at (1) finding out linguistic styles of the texts and (2) identifying power struggle behind an argumentative text entitled Computer for Children: Advantages or Drawbacks? used to the third students of Informatics Engineering Department at a private university in South Tangerang, Indonesia as a material in learning argumentative text. This is a critical discourse analysis by using Faircloughâ€™s model which consists of description, interpretation, and explanation. In analyzing the text, systemic functional linguistics is used to find out the textsâ€™ power as well as to determine whether the texts are adoptable for the students to learn argumentative texts. The analysis concludes that (1) formal, complex, verbal, repetitive, multi-perspective, evident-based, metaphorical, and over-wording dictions underpinned in an institutionalized social activity and unspecialized semantic domain dominate the texts which conclude that (2) its power to the readers is all equal that the author provoked rather than provided, evident-based and analytical arguments of the issue.

Financing Commercial Property in Poland and the UK
Authors: Lechowicz Tomasz
Published: October 2019

The following work is a comparison of real estate financing methods in Poland and Great Britain. A comparison of the data from both countries shows that the most popular method of real estate financing in both countries is through mortgages. External financing of commercial real estates in Poland is accomplished by: universal and mortgage banks, leasing companies, investment funds-loan, private investors and through the issue of ownership or debt securities. Another method of financing commercial real estate is financing it through the establishment of a special, separate company designed to carry out the project, which is known as "project financing". The availability of a variety of grants, preferential loans and time loans, is the strong point of the Polish system of financing commercial property purchases.
Combining Paid Work and Eldercare in the Netherlands in the Practice of Selected Dutch Organizations
Authors: Furmańska-Maruszak Agnieszka , Heeger-Hertter Susanne
Published: October 2019

The possibility to balance work and eldercare in the Netherlands is determined by legal and institutional factors (such as special employment entitlements for a career in the form of leaves and a flexible working arrangement). In our paper we compare the Dutch legislation in this field with the HRM practice of four Dutch public and private (non-profit and for-profit) organizations. The aim is to check what kind of workplace eldercare assistance is provided by the organizations and what forms are applied due to legal regulations and what goes beyond these regulations and why. The results show that the relationship between employer and employee is based on mutual trust. Dutch employers are – as far as circumstances permit – more generous in practice than the specific legislation requires, mainly due to the minimum rights in the legislation. A reason for the generosity is self-interest. The Dutch regulation of sick pay can be seen as an incentive to prevent sickness as it obliges employers to continue paying the wages during sickness for a long period. Moreover, they want to build loyalty and motivation among their employees by developing a formof corporate social responsibility.

Authors: Kowalewska Grażyna , Nieżurawska-Zając Joanna , Duarte Nelson
Published: October 2019

This paper analyses the directions and causes of student migration in the information society at economic universities in Poland and Portugal. An international survey was conducted among students born between 1981 and 1995. The research included a group of 121 Polish and 55 Portuguese students. The conclusions of the study confirm the hypothesis that the place of residence/country of origin has a significant effect on the direction of migration. Furthermore, the causes of migration are largely dependent on the gender of the respondents and their professional status.
Selected Psychological Factors as Predictors of Consumer Choice in the Milk Product Market
Authors: Rybanská Jana , Nagyová Ľudmila , Tkáč Filip
Published: October 2019

Milk and milk products represent one of the most important components of a well-balanced diet. The average consumption of milk in 2017 in Slovakia was about 176 kg per capita. Because the consumption of milk and milk products is generally considered to be very important for human health, it is also important to convince consumers to buy these products.

The presented paper deals with selected psychological factors that influence consumer behaviour when buying milk and milk products. We focused on 180 young consumers (20-45 years old) who belong to the generation Y and we studied the persuading power of selected tools of marketing communication (mainly visual aspects like colour, features of logos, overall look of packages, etc.) for milk.

Several methods of psychological and marketing research were used in the study, specifically a personality questionnaire NEO FFI, semantic differential based analysis of profile, content analysis and an analysis of dependences (binomial logit). It was found that personality characteristics and the temperament structure of consumers influence their choices in the milk product market. Packages and logos of milk products are strong persuaders if they are associated with the offered products.

Crisis factors in social positions of Ukrainian archival arrangements XIX - beginning of XX century
Authors: Korotkova Olena
Published: October 2019

The purpose of the research is to determine the main causes and consequences of the emergence of crisis phenomena in the social positions of the Ukrainian clergy in the XIX – early XX centuries; the transformation of the clergy and peasantry relations, changes in the daily values of the Ukrainian clergy. Reforming Ukrainian agrarian society has led to a change in social attitudes and values among all strata of the population. Clergy, defending the imperial social traditions, lost credibility and control over the Ukrainian people. The priests had to perform many social functions, but the weakening of the practice of patriarchal traditions, the intensive displacement of many outdated elements from family life put new challenges to the clergy. Changes in the social positions of the clergy were manifested in the spread of anti-social behavior, the transformation of the traditional daily life of the spiritual elite and local priests. Mistrust of the clergy was intensified by forcible Russification in church worship. In the conditions of capitalization of society, clergy were not able to maintain their influence on the majority of the population of Ukrainian provinces.

Volyn ethnic space of the second half of the XIXth century: the view of Volyn Czech
Authors: Shulha Svitlana
Published: October 2019

The article deals with the process of adaptation of the Czech population to the conditions of the nonethnic society of Volyn huberniia in the second half of the nineteenth century. This process took place through the conclusion of interethnic relations. Ego-documents (biographies, memoirs) of the Czechs, who re-emigrated in 1946-1947, served as a source of research. The author comes to the conclusion that the self-identification of the Czech colonists took place on the basis of the comparison of “myself” with “other”, giving “self” positive features as opposed to “another”. The Czech colonists favorably treated to the Russian authorities, as a result of Slavophile sentiments and a government policy to facilitate resettlement, which was being designed for local government and landowner-Russian. However, the protective policy of the Russian authorities was transformed into a restrictive in the cultural and educational sphere of the life of the Czech settler, which led to dissatisfaction with the colonists. Therefore, the negative characteristics of relations with the Russians are contained in memoirs. Pole-landowner perceived the colonists as “kholop”, so there were misunderstandings between them. However, it soon became clear that the level of agriculture, education and the life of the Czechs far superior “kholopskyi”. The Czechs entered into official relations because of the need for the registration of land acquisition documents with Polish landowners. Further rapprochement with this ethno-community took place in the interwar period. The closest contacts of the Czechs coincided with the Ukrainian peasants who perceived the colonists at the beginning of their settlement cautiously-biased, later-taking experience, in a friendly manner. Relationships with other ethnic communities (Germans, Jews) formed as cautiously-biased and concerned mainly the functioning of the economy.

ANALYZING THE SPHERICAL CAVITY EXPANSION PROBLEM IN A MEDIUM WITH MOHR − COULOMB − TRESCA'S PLASTICITY CONDITION
Authors: Kotov V.L. , Timofeev D.B.
Published: October 2019

An analytical solution of the one-dimensional problem of a spherical cavity expanding at a constant velocity from a point in a space occupied by a plastic medium has been obtained. Impact compressibility of the medium is described using linear Hugoniot's adiabat. Plastic deformation obeys the Mohr - Coulomb yield criterion with constraints on the value of maximum tangential stresses according to Tresca's criterion. In the assumption of rigid-plastic deformation (the elastic precursor being neglected), incompressibility behind the shockwave front and the equality of the propagation velocities of the fronts of the plastic wave and the plane shockwave defined by linear Hugoniot's adiabat, a boundary-value problem for a system of two first-order ordinary differential equations for the dimensionless velocity and stress depending on the self-similar variable is formulated. A closed-form solution of this problem has been obtained in the form of a stationary running wave - a plastic shockwave propagating in an unperturbed half-space. This solution is a generalization of the earlier obtained analytical solution for a medium with the Mohr - Coulomb plasticity condition.

The effect of constraining the limiting value of maximal tangential stresses on the distribution of dimensionless stresses behind the shockwave front has been examined. Formulas for determining the range of cavity expansion velocities, within which a simple solution for a medium with Tresca's plasticity condition is applicable, have been derived. The obtained solution can be used for evaluating resistance to high-velocity penetration of rigid strikers into low-strength soil media.
Electromagnetic torque analysis for a non-contact piezoelectric motor modulated by an electromagnetic field
Authors: Xing Jichun , Ren Wendi , Qin Yong
Published: October 2019

For a non-contact piezoelectric motor modulated by an electromagnetic field, the design scheme of a piezoelectric micro-displacement amplifying mechanism is described. The relation formula between the output displacement of piezoelectric stacks and the output angle of the mechanism are given. Using the theory of electromagnetism, the static output torque equation of electromagnetic coupling mechanism based on the output angle of the piezoelectric amplifying mechanism is established, and the effect of system parameters on the static output moment is analyzed. Considering this piezoelectric motor driven by a square wave signal, the dynamic output torque equation of the non-contact piezoelectric motor is established, and the effect of system design parameters on the dynamic output torque is revealed. The analysis results show that the different output step precisions of the piezoelectric motor can be obtained by adjusting the length of the bar 1. A reasonably selected output angle is beneficial to increase electromagnetic torque. When the air gap is reduced to improve the torque, a larger output torque can be obtained by designing a reasonable output angle. At a certain amplitude of modulation voltage, the reasonable combination of external resistance and modulation signal frequency is beneficial to the design of an ideal dynamic torque response waveform and larger dynamic torque amplitude. The above analysis results can lay a theoretical foundation for the design of a high-performance non-contact piezoelectric motor modulated by electromagnetic and the optimization of the drive scheme.
Electromagnetic-thermal-stress coupling simulation for shore power cable with insulating crack air gap
Authors: Hao Yang , Heng Liu , Fan Yang , Zhenwei Ji , Bing Gao , Min Gong , Boda Zhou , Chenzhi Zhu
Published: October 2019

The special working condition of shore power cable is more likely to form a crack air gap in insulating medium, which will cause gap discharge. The continuous gap discharge will cause local temperature rising and stress concentrating, which will lead to cable insulation deterioration. The electro-thermal-stress coupling method, in this paper, is used to establish the finite element model of the shore power cable. The electric, temperature and stress field distribution for the shore power cable with a crack air gap in the insulating medium is also studied, and the correctness of temperature and stress field distribution is verified by experiments. In addition, this paper investigated the variation law of the ampacity for shore power cable under different discharge energy. The results show that the maximum electric field is equal to the electric field intensity (36.1 kV/cm) at the inner edge of the insulating medium when the gap length d = 2 mm and that the temperature and stress of the cable are quadratic with load current, linear with the gap discharge energy. The research results of this paper have an engineering significance for monitoring shore power cables.
Current Trends in Partial Nephrectomy After Guideline Release: Health Disparity for Small Renal Mass
Authors: May Allison M. , Guduru Anirudh , Fernelius Joshua , Raza Syed J. , Davaro Facundo , Siddiqui Sameer A. , Hamilton Zachary A.
Published: October 2019

Background:

Renal masses can be surgically treated by partial nephrectomy (PN) or radical nephrectomy (RN); however, in 2009 guidelines recommended PN as the standard of care for cT1a renal masses.

Objective:

To evaluate national trends of surgically appropriate patients using the National Cancer Database (NCDB) for utilization of PN focusing on guideline release, evaluating underlying health disparity.

Methods:

We identified 99,035 patients from 2004–2015 that underwent surgical resection of cT1a renal masses. We evaluated treatment proportions over time of patients treated with PN or RN. Logistic regression was utilized for multivariable analysis.

Results:

PN increased from 40.2% in 2004 to 71.3% in 2015 ( p < 0.001). Older patients were more likely to be treated with RN (OR 1.018, p < 0.001), as were those with Charlson score 2 or 3+ (OR 1.288 and 2.074, p < 0.001). Patients with lower income were more likely to be treated with RN (OR 1.186, p < 0.001) as were uninsured patients (OR 1.108, p = 0.018) and low volume centers (OR 1.063, p < 0.001). Females were more likely to undergo RN (OR 1.123, p < 0.001) as were black patients (OR 1.339, p < 0.001). While these demographic trends persisted after the release of the guidelines, all associations decreased except for Charlson score and race. Black patients became more likely to undergo RN (pre-guideline OR 1.248 vs post-guideline OR 1.474, p < 0.001). Patients treated with RN had worsened mortality (17.4% vs. 7.3%, p < 0.001).

Conclusions:

Although use of PN in surgically appropriate patients for cT1a renal masses has increased over time, 30% of patients underwent RN in 2015. Socioeconomic disparities affect treatment decisions and require additional research.

Published: October 2019

Cd2+ doped cobalt ferrite magnetic nanoparticles with the formula CdxCo1-xFe2O4 ( x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) were successfully synthesized and coated by silica shell. The effects of non-magnetic Cd+2 doping and silica coating on structural, magnetic, and optical properties of CoFe2O4 nano-particles had been investigated. XRD patterns confirmed that all samples were found to have a cubic spinel structure with average crystallite sizes 15–43 nm. It was observed that increasing the amount of Cd2+ up to certain amount ( x = 0.4) leads to an increase of saturation magnetization. The band gap energy tends to increase with silica coating and increasing in Cd2+ content to reach maximum value of 1.61 eV for Cd0.5Co0.5Fe2O4/SiO2 sample, which implies that this material is a good candidate for using in magnetic data storage and applications that rely on magneto-optical properties.

Published: October 2019

The article is devoted to the problem of teaching students whose future profession is associated with management. Since the beginning of the 2000s, there has been a steady increase in the interest of managers in ERP-systems, allowing complex automation of the activities of all departments of the enterprise. In the same period, the demand for specialists with the skills to work with modern ERP systems, such as SAP, “1C:ERP 2”, “Galactica”, etc., also increases. Despite the fact that the problem of training specialists in this field for the last 10 years has been paid close attention, and in scientific publications there are new articles on the issues of training, able to work professionally with ERP-systems, currently there is no well-formed approach to this problem. The author of the article shares his experience of training students in the areas of “State and municipal management” and “Management” to work with the system “1C:ERP 2” and offers a number of recommendations for quality training of students. The process of training students becomes more effective if, before studying the ERP-system, they are given the opportunity to work in one of the programs “1C:Accounting public institution” or “1C:Enterprise Accounting 8” to acquire initial skills in working with “1C” software products. In the research process, the method of economic analysis and a systematic approach were used. The scientific and practical significance of the research results is in the development of guidelines for the quality training of future leaders in order to form competencies that allow university graduates to professionally solve problems related to management issues using IT. The article can be useful for teachers engaged in teaching students modern information technologies.

The article deals with the problems of the quality of contact work in the implementation of training using distance educational technologies. The mathematical model of estimation of quality of the contact work realized by means of webinars is developed for a research of this problem. The analysis of the tasks arising at the organization of webinars is carried out, among which the problem of determination of the actual quality of webinars is recognized as one of essential, which is necessary for making adequate management decisions to improve the quality of contact work carried out through webinars. Three groups of the factors defining quality of distance learning in general were revealed for the solution of this problem: the quality of educational content, the professionalism of teachers, and the interaction of the teacher and student. The research of quality of webinars conducted by authors in 2018 in Siberian State University of Telecommunications and Information Science have allowed to define and formalize 31 indicators of quality of a webinar and 7 indicators of competence of a webinar leader, on the basis of which the mathematical model is developed. The model allows to carry out expert and expeditious estimation of the specified indicators, thereby to realize integrated differential approach to estimation of the aspects of quality of contact work in the form of a webinar. Also, mathematical solutions of increasing efficiency of the model implementation by applying neural network method to the estimation procedure for the majority of indicators are proposed, which allows obtaining adequate estimates of indicators without the participation of experts.
