Strategic Abstention based on Preference Extensions: Positive Results and Computer-Generated Impossibilities
Authors: Brandl Florian , Brandt Felix , Geist Christian , Hofbauer Johannes
Published: December 2019

Voting rules allow multiple agents to aggregate their preferences in order to reach joint decisions. A common flaw of some voting rules, known as the no-show paradox, is that agents may obtain a more preferred outcome by abstaining from an election. We study strategic abstention for set-valued voting rules based on Kelly's and Fishburn's preference extensions. Our contribution is twofold. First, we show that, whenever there are at least five alternatives and seven agents, every Pareto-optimal majoritarian voting rule suffers from the no-show paradox with respect to Fishburn's extension. This is achieved by reducing the statement to a finite - yet very large - problem, which is encoded as a formula in propositional logic and then shown to be unsatisfiable by a SAT solver. We also provide a human-readable proof which we extracted from a minimal unsatisfiable core of the formula. Secondly, we prove that every voting rule that satisfies two natural conditions cannot be manipulated by strategic abstention with respect to Kelly's extension and give examples of well-known Pareto-optimal majoritarian voting rules that meet these requirements.
Effect of soil rigidity and tensile strength on bearing capacity of embedded foundations
Authors: Jafari M. , Gharsallaoui H. , Holeyman A.
Published: December 2019

The estimation of the bearing capacity of embedded foundations in cohesive soils has important civil engineering applications both onshore and offshore such as bored piles, skirted foundations, spudcan footings and so on. This topic has been extensively investigated numerically in the literature, where it is mostly stated that the commonly used semi-empirical relations in the industry for example by Skempton are extremely conservative. Such conclusion may not be accurate if two relatively neglected aspects are investigated: (a) rigidity index, ratio of shear modulus to undrained shear strength of soil and (b) limited tensile strength of soil. A finite-element analysis was conducted. The influence of these factors on bearing capacity enhancement is presented. Simple algebraic expressions are provided to guide practitioners.
Introductory commentary
Authors: Hedman Christina , Ganuza Natalia
Published: December 2019

Reading the contributions to this special issue, it is striking how little research has hitherto been conducted on qur’anic schooling and Qur’an faith literacy practices in Scandinavia, despite it being well-known that the Qur’an schools constitute important religious and social meeting points for many Muslim faith members (e.g., Risenfors, Gurdal, & Sorbring 2011). In all of the Scandinavian countries, numerous children and adolescents regularly attend qur’anic schooling from a very young age. As argued by Day and Rogaly (2014), shared Islamic faith literacy practices and participation in qur’anic schooling thus contribute to creating a sense of social belonging and coherence for many faith members. Despite this being the case, we still know very little about faith members’ lived experiences of qur’anic schooling. This lack of attention in the research seems to be a global rather than a local phenomenon. For example, Moore (2011) claims that qur’anic schooling is “[o]ne of the least-studied and most poorly understood educational institutions in today's world.” Consequently, all of the papers in this special issue make a valuable contribution in widening the research focus, and in counteracting the invisibilization of qur’anic schooling and faith literacy in the research.
Liturgical literacy as hidden capital
Authors: Berglund Jenny
Published: December 2019

This article focuses on a form of supplementary Islamic education that centres on Qur’an studies and examines the reported experiences of Muslim students that regularly shift between this and their mainstream secular school. Its aim is to better comprehend the dialectical interplay between this type of supplementary education and mainstream secular schooling. Within this framework, the article explores how the traditional way of reading, reciting, and memorizing the Qur’an might relate to the type of teaching and learning that occurs within mainstream public schools. It also explores the possibility of a secular bias within the Swedish school system, the contribution of Qur’an studies to mainstream schooling (and vice versa), Qur’an-based vs. mainstream notions of “reading”, especially in relation to the idea of “understanding” and “meaning”, and how competency in Qur’an recitation becomes valuable secular “capital” when translated from language of “liturgical literacy” to the language of “skills”. To balance and enhance our understanding of student experiences, this article employs a constructive understanding of Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of cultural capital and habitus as well as Andrey Rosowsky’s notion of liturgical literacy.
Quranic app practices among multilingual Muslim youth in Denmark
Authors: Daugaard Line
Published: December 2019

This article sheds light on a set of religious literacy practices which have so far received very little scientific attention, namely ‘quranic app practices’. Quranic app practices are conceptualized as ways of engaging with the Quran through religious apps on smartphones or tablets. The article is based primarily on an explorative group interview with four young people from a Year 8 class in a multilingual lower secondary school in Denmark. The youth have Somali and Afghan background, consider themselves practicing Muslims and can be described as ‘religious heritage learners of Arabic’ (Temples 2013). The article explores the quranic app practices of the young people as reported in the interview and shows how the young people use the quranic apps to engage with the sacred text of the Quran in different ways, with different objectives and drawing on different languages. Building on Rosowsky’s (2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015) research on faith literacies, the analysis reveals that the young people have radically different understandings of that it entails to ‘read the Quran’ and that their quranic app practices vary greatly, but also that their choice of app is consistent with their stated objectives, priorities, preferences and practices. The different quranic app practices thus all appear meaningful, consistent and legitimate. Based on the analysis, the article calls for further investigation of young people’s quranic app practices.
Final commentary: What is the Qurʾān?
Authors: Eggen Nora
Published: December 2019

The Qurʾān is often described as a holy book revered by Muslims. While this is a functional description on one level, taking into consideration the inherent structures and flexibilities in the text, as well as its discursive nature, its interpretation and reception, it may in a more comprehensible way be described as a hypertext.

Работа посвящена исследованию влияния высоты и диаметра слоя сорбента, плотности егоупаковки, характеристик гидродинамических режимов, а так же концентрации и соотношения компо-нентов раствора на вид выходных кривых при сорбционно-десорбционных процессах.Установлено, что разделение аминокислотсодержащих смесей необходимо проводить на низком и широком слое мелкодисперсного сорбента в солевой форме при отсутствии свободного объемав верхней и нижней части колонки с использованием низких скоростей подачи раствора, чередуястадии сорбции и десорбции. Процесс повторяется несколько циклов для полного разделения компонентов, при этом для десорбции используется вода. Для исследуемой системы на стадии сорбции триптофан переходит в сорбент, и раствор обедняется по аминокислоте, а концентрация соли остается неизменной. Таким образом, уже на первой стадии десорбции получают чистый раствор этой аминокислоты. Десорбция поглощенного компонента эффективно проводится водой при использовании количеств, сопоставимых с объемом раствора с разделяемой смесью

Published: December 2019

Aim of study: The adsorption properties of the samples of full-dry Eastern Spruce (ES) [Picea orientalis (L). Link.] with 12.5 mm, 25 mm, 37.5 mm and 50 mm thick is to determine under the climate conditions with 42%, 65% and % 78 of relative humidity and at a constant temperature of 20 °C. Material and method: The wood samples used in this study were the Eastern Spruce woods which were obtained from Forestry Process Management in the city of Trabzon/Turkey. With regard to mathematical modeling used to determine the wood moisture content (MC), the equation constants in case of adsorption was determined. Experiments were conducted at three different equilibrium moisture content (EMC); 8%, 12% and 16%. Main results: Cross section had no crucial effect on the rate of accessibility to the final MC. However, EMC and thickness have been effective. Research highlights: In practice, since dried wood is kept at outside weather conditions for a certain time before operation, an increase can be observed in the wood MC. It is practically important that under the influence of climate conditions until its utilization, the tendency of water adsorption of wood is determined as a function of time.

Published: December 2019

Trends in opioid use in a cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis The objective was to determine the trend in the use of opioid analgesics in a cohort of patients diagnosed with and treated for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in 24 cities in Colombia. Methods. This retrospective cohort study included adult patients diagnosed with RA, which was managed in a specialized institution in Colombia between January 2011 and December 2012. The first rheumatology visit was recorded as an index date, and monthly monitoring of the analgesic medication received was performed until December 2017. Sociodemographic variables, the use of opioids and concomitant prescriptions were evaluated. Results. A total of 1,329 patients diagnosed with and treated for RA were included, who had an average age of 61.2 ± 11.8 years and were predominantly females (n = 936; 82.9%). A total of 1,129 (84.9%) subjects used opioids, and a growing trend, from 13.5% to 21.4%, was observed in patients who received opioids every month throughout a 7-year follow-up of the cohort. In total, 46.7% of the cases used opioids for more than 12 months. The most commonly used opioids were codeine (76.3%) and tramadol (71.1%). All patients received conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), 85.6% received systemic corticosteroids, 73.9% received non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and 15.9% received biological DMARDs. Conclusions. A high proportion of opioid use was shown for pain management in patients with RA, in many cases for more than 12 months, in whom the efficacy and especially safety, related to the risk of dependence, should be monitored.

The Impact of Cultural Factors on E-Learning: Practical Teaching of Sanponna Chants among Yoruba Youths in Nigeria
Authors: T. Opoola, B.
Published: December 2019

In this paper, sanponna, god of smallpox chants is one of the Yoruba peoples cultural properties. “E-learning approach was adopted by introducing the youths to use of electronic materials like video camera, android phones, and cassette tape recorders in collation of sanponna chants analyzed in this study. Few S̩̩ànpò̩̩nná chants were recorded, written out and stylistically analyzed with ten Yoruba secondary school students in Nigeria. The need for this research is that attention of many Yoruba and African scholars is recently concentrated on teaching foreign oral traditions without been mindful of the inherent advantages of teaching  learning and documentation of African traditional chants like Sonponna and other chants especially for the present generation of youths. Also, the positive impacts of e-learning has not been maximally utilized in the teaching and learning of Yoruba orature such as the language’s numerous traditional chants. This study further strengthened the fact that African education was in existence before the advent of Arabic and European education in Nigeria and must be preserved and saved from going to extinction. The study electronically taught the youths some poetic devices employed by S̩̩ànpò̩̩nná chanters which include: simile, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, irony, paradox, sarcasm, euphemism, and repetition.
Project-based Language Learning in China: A Literature Review
Authors: Wang Sue
Published: December 2019

Project-based language learning (PBLL) has great potential for language education because PBLL would be able to make learning relevant, personalized, and engaging. This is particularly true under today’s circumstances where language learners’ are expected to reach the five goals in areas of communication, cultures, comparison, connection and communities as put forward by the ACTFL (www.actfl.org). This paper presents a content analysis of 39 PBLL research studies published between 2002 and 2017 in the English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) context in China. The studies were collected from the two most frequently used Chinese academic journal databases—CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) and Wanfang Data. This paper presents a synthesis of the PBLL approach as applied in EFL instruction in China, discusses the research results, gaps, and future directions for PBLL research and pedagogy.
The Possibility of Weak V-DE-(NP)-A Constructions in Chinese
Authors: Zhang Xiaowen
Published: December 2019

According to Washio’s (1997) strong and weak resultative analysis, Chinese resultative V-A-(NP) compounds allow both strong and weak resultative constructions while Chinese V-DE-(NP)-A constructions allow only strong resultative constructions, i.e., weak V-DE-(NP)-A constructions are not accepted in these constructions when the result predicate is a stage-level predicate + le. However, it can be found that these ungrammatical weak V-DE-(NP)-A constructions are possible to be grammatical in Chinese when the result predicate is an individual-level predicate or is modified by a degree word. A natural question to ask here is why so. In the paper, I will suggest a reason for it in terms of the function of DE and the aspect marker le in Chinese resultative constructions and the syntactic structures of V-DE-(NP)-A constructions.
Sömürgecilik Sonrası Britanya Romanında İki Boyutlu Yabancılaşma Süreci
Authors: BAĞLAMA Sercan Hamza
Published: December 2019

Britanya’da 1948 yılında alınan bir karar ile İngiliz Milletler Topluluğu üyesi ülkelerin vatandaşlarına Britanya vatandaşlığı ve Britanya’ya serbest giriş hakkı verildi. Bu, geçmişte Britanya sömürgesi olan ülkelerden Britanya’ya büyük bir göç dalgasını tetikledi. Birçok renkten, ulustan, inançtan ve kökenden göçmen İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrasında piyasanın ihtiyaçları dâhilinde ‘ucuz iş gücü’ olarak kullanıldı; sonrasında ise, göçmenlerin yaşadığı sosyal, kültürel ve ekonomik sorunları konu edinen birçok edebi eser kaleme alındı. Bu noktada, bu çalışma, edebi eserlerin yazıldıkları dönemlerdeki sosyoekonomik, kültürel ve tarihsel ‘gerçekliği’ ve bütünselliği, dolaylı ve öznel bir şekilde de olsa, yansıttığı ve işlediği argümanından yola çıkarak, Sam Selvon, Zadie Smith ve Hanif Kureishi tarafından yazılan romanlardaki göçmen karakterleri inceleyip Marks’ın yabancılaşma kuramını yeniden yorumlamayı ve iki boyutlu yabancılaşma’ sürecini kavramsallaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Başka bir deyişle, bu çalışma sömürgecilik sonrası İngiliz romanının önemli temsilcilerinden olan bu yazarların romanlarındaki göçmen karakterlerin hem sınıfsal hem de etnik kökeninden dolayı yaşamış oldukları anlamsız ve güçsüz hissetme durumunu ‘iki boyutlu yabancılaşma’ kavramı üzerinden rasyonalize etmeye ve karakterlerin, insanların birbirine yabancılaştığı kaotik bir ortamda, kendilerini benzer kaçış mekanizmalarıyla nasıl gerçekleştirmeye çalıştıklarını ve bu şekilde onlar’ın doğrularını içselleştirip ‘beyaz kapitalizm’e kendi rızalarıyla nasıl eklemlendiklerini somutlaştırmaya çalışacaktır.
Distance backup protection using supply currents on a line with several branches
Authors: Kolesov L.M. , Mozhzhukhina V.V.
Published: December 2019

The third step of distance protection is used as backup protection against phase-to-phase short circuits on 110–220 kV transmission lines. The main problem when using these protections on a line with several branches is to ensure the effectiveness of distant backup protection in case of phase-to-phase short circuits behind branch transformers of substations. The effective solution to distant backup protection is possible to provide by expanding the information base of protection. Currently, backup protection of lines with branches is being developed with control of currents and their components when using a communication channel, and based on algorithmic models of the facility. In this regard, the urgent task is to develop an algorithm for the distance protection ensuring the required sensibility during short circuits on the lower voltage side of the branch transformers. Analytical methods of determining the impedance measurement and simulation in Simulink and SimPowerSystems of the Matlab modeling system are used. The effectiveness of distant backup protection can be evaluated on the basis of recognition possibility of short circuit modes behind the branch transformers. Analytical expressions have been obtained to determine the impedance measurement during phase-to-phase short-circuits behind a branch transformer and under load conditions. Criteria have been developed to assess the proposed protection possibility to recognize the mode of phase-to-phase short circuits behind the branch transformer. Studies have shown that the main factor determining the possibility of mode recognition is the ratio between the protected transformer power and the total power of the branches loads. The use of several impedance measuring elements with their own response characteristics for branches with transformers of different capacities provides mode recognition for any possible correlation of power of branch substations. The use of the distance protection implementation option developed by the authors allows providing the required sensitivity for short circuits behind branch transformers and to solve the problem of distance backup line protection on a line with several branches. The reliability of the data obtained is confirmed by the correspondence of analytical research and simulation results.
Time and space in the motor aesthetics of A. Volynsky
Authors: Shalygina O.V.
Published: December 2019

The article describes the original aesthetic and philosophical concept – the motor aesthetics of Akim Volynsky. Volynsky uses the concept of «motor aesthetics» in the Kniga likovanii, describing the value of circular lines for the «all aesthetics, visual, sound and motor», and particularly pirouette for motor aesthetics. The term «motor aesthetics of Akim Volynsky» is used in this article for the first time and is studied by the author from an interdisciplinary perspective. Motor aesthetics is developed by Volynsky for plastic art as a language of description of classical ballet, he introduces the basic concepts, formulates the laws, defines the basic philosophical categories that underlie it. The importance of Volynsky's work on the formation of the language of classical ballet description is recognized in the professional environment and theater criticism. The study of the motor aesthetics of Akim Volynsky is relevant in connection with the study of the philosophical foundations of intermedial analysis. The article deals with the problem of time and space in the motor aesthetics of Akim Volynsky for the first time. The direct connection of Volynsky's later works on ballet with his early article on Kant is revealed, the conclusion about the originality of Volynsky's philosophical position in relation to the categories of time and space is made. Using the thesaurus of Kant's transcendental aesthetics, Volynsky defines the two-act structural relationship of time and space according to the «par coupe» (fr) principle, which he regards as universal. It was concluded of Volynsky's motorial aesthetics value not only in the history of classical ballet and theatre criticism, the history of of the Russian literature and philosophy of the late 19th - early 20th century, but also in the modern philosophical anthropology and ontology.

The Historical Hazards of Finding Aids
Authors: Wiedeman Gregory
Published: December 2019

Archivists have traditionally understood access through finding aids, assuming that—through creating them—they are effectively providing access to archival materials. This article is a history of finding aids in American archival practice that demonstrates how finding aids have negatively colored how archivists have understood access. It shows how finding aids were originally a compromise between resource constraints and the more familiar access that users expected, how a discourse centered on finding aids hindered the standardization of archival description as data, and how the characteristics of finding aids as tools framed and negatively impacted the Encoded Archival Description (EAD) standard. It questions whether finding aids are a productive or useful framework for understanding how archivists provide access to collections.

Dependence of Legal Awareness on the Individual Psychological Characteristics of Public Officers
Authors: Noss I.N. , Bulygina V.G. , Kabanova T.N.
Published: December 2019

The article considers legal awareness as a subjective perception of legal phenomena by citizens. It is assumed that there is an individual predisposition towards law-conscious behavior. In a sample of 2011 subjects, employees of state bodies, the dependence of legal awareness on the personal characteristics of employees performing duties in the field of legal relations was studied. Legal awareness correlates with the activities of civil servants indirectly through a system of real legal actions and does not always coincide with labor productivity (action - attitude). The study of justice was carried out using the test of L.A. Yasyukova. Individual psychological characteristics were identified through the use of intelligent techniques, the modification of MMPI, the locus of control, the test of volitional self-control and the motivational profile of Ritchie-Martin. To assess the success (effectiveness) of the staff professional activities, an expert assessment was performed. It was revealed that legal consciousness has a specification and depends on the type of activity of public officers. Relations can be traced within the entire volume of personal characteristics. The article provides data on the correlation of legal consciousness and individual psychological characteristics of public service employees in the verbal and cogitative, characterological and motivational spheres.
Comparative studies of milk removal in lactating women using the Lactopuls breast pump with vacuum and compressive components and the Medela Symphony breast pump
Authors: Alekseev Nikolay P. , Iliyn Vladimir I. , Talalayeva Nadezhda E.
Published: December 2019

Hypothesis/aims of study. To date, in the world, including in the Russian Federation, the number of women who use breast pumps (BPs) in the process of breastfeeding has significantly increased. Many mothers of premature and full-term babies are partially or completely breast pump-dependent for weeks or months and need a BP that should be effective and convenient. In this regard, it is of great practical interest to compare the characteristics and, above all, the efficiency of milk pumping using two types of BP one with vacuum component and another with vacuum and compressive components. The aim of this study was to conduct a comparative assessment of the efficiency of milk removal using the Medela Symphony BP and the Lactopuls BP.
Study design, materials and methods. 14 lactating women of 1938 years of age who volunteered to be included in this study were examined. Women had been lactating and breastfeeding normally for 58 days. The Lactopuls BP with vacuum and compressive components and the Medela Symphony breast pump with a vacuum component were used in the main program mode.
Results and conclusion. It was found that the Lactopuls BP is more effective for milk removal. In particular, the amount of milk expressed using it was on average 14% more than that using the Medela Symphony BP. The Laktopuls BP with vacuum and compression components has shown its higher efficacy compared to the vacuum Medela Symphony BP.

Aim: to identify predictors of stent thrombosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for 12 months by creating a miathematical logistic regression model to optimize rehabilitation, secondary prevention of ischemic events in the first year after ACS, as well as a personalized approach to treatment. Materials and methods. The analysis used data from the hospital register, which contained information on all PCIs, performed in the Semashko hospital between September 2016 and August 2018 (2378 patients). For this study we selected a sample of 183 ACS patients (146 men and 37 women) after PCI: 25 with definite stent thrombosis confirmed by repeated coronary angiography (CAG) (the main study group), and 158 without developing definite stent thrombosis (the comparison group) according to the observation for 12 months. All patients during hospitalization and 1 year after discharge received standard medical therapy ACS, according to international recommendations. Laboratory tests, electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, 24-hour ECG monitoring were performed for in patients. For determining predictors of the development of stent thrombosis we performed a logistic regression analysis. Results. A mathematical model of multifactorial prognostication of stent thrombosis in patients with ACS after PCI was created. The model included the following predictors: Killip class >II; life-threatening paroxysmal tachyarrhythmias (atrial fibrillation and/or ventricular fibrillation) as ACS complication of; left ventricular ejection fraction ≤45%; CA dissection; CAG confirmed CA thrombosis before PCI. Conclusion. The proposed model in patients with ACS allows us to estimate the risk of stent thrombosis after PCI, as well as to improve the accuracy of the event prediction. The model is easy to use, can be applied by practicing cardiologists during hospitalization. This model allows us to personalize secondary prevention in the first year after ACS, and thus help to reduce cardiovascular mortality, incidence of recurrent myocardial infarctions, unstable angina, and emergency revascularization.

Resistant and refractory arterial hypertensions are two distinct clinical phenotypes of uncontrolled arterial hypertension (AH), which differ in their sensitivity to antihypertensive drug therapy. The review presents data obtained in clinical studies devoted to elucidating the involvement of disorders of neurohormonal status and renal function in the formation of resistant and refractory arterial hypertension, to and the development of new approaches to increasing the effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy in these patient’s populations. The results of these studies have shown that in patients with uncontrolled arterial hypertension, despite prolonged intake ≥ 3 antihypertensive drugs with different mechanisms of action, including a diuretic, excess sodium reabsorption persists in the distal segments of nephron due to increased aldosterone activity and sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity. In this regard, special attention has been paid to the data of PATHWAY-2, PATHWAY-3 and ReHOT trials that in patients with resistant AH tested the clinical efficacy of spironolactone, amiloride, and antiadrenergic drugs bisoprolol, doxazosin and clonidine, suppressing activity of the sympathetic nervous system.

Aim. To validate a domestic scale for assessment risk of bleeding ORACUL (ОРАКУЛ) based on an independent sample of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Materials and methods. External validation of the ORACUL score was carried out using database of an independent observational study RECORD-3 which comprised data from all patients hospitalized for 1 month (march-april 2015) in 47 centers of 37 cities in 21 regions of Russia. Total number of included patients was 2370, mean age 64.2±11.96 years, 821 patients (34.6%) had ST-elevation, other patients – non-ST elevation ACS. Results. The following bleeding events were registered in RECORD-3: bleedings during hospitalization (n=34, 1.43%), inhospital bleedings requiring withdrawal of antithrombotic treatment (n=16, 0.68%), inhospital bleedings, which required drug or surgical treatment or hemotransfusion (n=16, 0.68%). Forty eight hemorrhagic complications were registered during 6 months of observation after hospital discharge. Diagnostic value of the ORACUL score for estimation of risk of bleedings during index hospitalization was good (C-criterion 0.691±0.050; р<0.001), sensitivity of the model was 58.1%, specificity 79.9%. Earlier on the cohort of patients of the ORACUL study diagnostic value of the score for inhospital bleedings was found to be 0.777±0.046. Difference of diagnostic values was inessential. For estimation of the bleeding risk during 6 months of post discharge observation area under the ROC curve (C-criterion) was 0.628±0.045 (р=0.003), sensitivity and specificity of the model were 53.9 and 73.7%, respectively. On the ORACUL study cohort AUC 0.748±0.048 (р=0.071). Conclusion. External validation confirmed that statistical power of the OCACUL score is sufficient for prediction of bleedings during both periods of hospitalization and after hospital discharge.

Increase in life expectancy during the second part of the 20thcentury is accompanied by increase in proportion of elderly and senile age population. However, despite the increase in life expectancy, the prevalence of most chronic diseases and functional impairments rises with age. Elderly and senile age is associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), therefore the problem of managing elderly patients with CVD becomes especially urgent.

The author proposes to discuss the strategies of artificial intelligence development, technologies and systems of artificial intelligence. The article begins with a preface in the form of a message from another being, and ends with an afterword in the form of an appeal to the developers of artificial intelligence. The Artificial Intelligence Development Strategy that was adopted in Russia for the period until 2030 became a motive for writing the article. Such concepts as intelligence, the intelligences of the individual and society and their strategies, artificial intelligence, ontologies and explainable artificial intelligence, other being as an ontology of designing are discussed in the article. Links to the reviews of artificial intelligence development strategies adopted in the leading countries of the world are given. The strategies adopted in Russia and the USA are analyzed. The Russian strategy notes the presence of criterion problems and the inconsistency of goals and proposed indicators, the lack of ontologies of subject areas in the development of artificial intelligence systems. The American strategy notes the emphasis made on an understandable, trustworthy, reliable and safe artificial intelligence; ontologies and standards adopted and developed to strengthen the US leadership in the creation of artificial intelligence. In conclusion the importance and necessity of developing and applying ontologies when creating understandable artificial intelligence systems integrated into society is highlighted.

Published: December 2019

The paper presents a model of comprehensive support for the development of intelligent DSS. The model includes the concept of comprehensive support that describes the needs of developers, methods and means for supporting the development of systems of this class, the structure of the repository of decision-making methods, the architecture of a typical DSS and the methodology for their development. The methodology is based on such principles as the maximum use of ready-made solutions, scalability, accessibility, openness, usability, independence from subject domain, and selfdescriptiveness. These principles have proven themselves in practice. Abidance of these principles is ensured by the use of ontological, fractal-stratified, service-oriented and wire-frame approaches, as well as rapid prototyping and flexible development approaches. The methodology involves the use of Semantic Web technology and technology for the development of intelligent scientific Internet resources. Such means of comprehensive support for the development of intelligent DSS as the ontology of the knowledge area "Decision-making Support", the information and analytical Internet resource, the repository of decision-making support methods, and the methodology for developing intelligent DSS are described in detail. It is proposed to use information and analytical Internet resource, which is built on the basis of the ontology of the subject area and the shell proposed by the technology as a framework of future intelligent DSS. The functionality of the DSS under development is provided by using services that are connected to the resource and implement methods stored in the repository. The language of description logics of the SOIN (D) family is used to describe the model of comprehensive support.

Today, popular science discourse is becoming an integral and essential element of scientific activity, as it acts as a mediator, providing communication between the scientific community and a wide audience. In order for this interaction to be productive, it is necessary that the texts (popular science books and articles) offered to the uninitiated public contain high-quality argumentation. In this regard, the study of the argumentation presented in the popular science literature is an important and urgent problem. This paper presents an approach to modeling the arguments used in popular science literature. Such modeling is performed using the means of the ontology of argumentation, based on the AIF format (Argument Interchange Format). This format is accepted de facto by the international community as a standard notation for describing arguments and argumentative structures. We extended this ontology by the means necessary to model the argumentation used in popular science discourse. In particular, new means allow you to model the target audience and present the content of the statements included in the arguments. In terms of the extended ontology we can describe generally accepted and original argumentation schemes, their significance for various audiences, the structure and components of arguments. Concrete arguments extracted from the texts under study and their components can also be presented in the terms of this ontology. The ontology of argumentation with such properties is described for the first time. This ontology is used as an information model of a software system designed for modeling and analysis of argumentation used in popular science literature.
