Cognitive Glues Are Shared Models of Relative Scarcities: The Economics of Collective Intelligence
Authors: Lyons Benjamin Frederick , Levin Michael
Published: November 2024

Collective intelligence refers to emergent problem-solving capacities that are different than those of the system’s subunits. Due to the plethora of multi-scale systems within nature and society, it is imperative to understand the interaction policies necessary and sufficient for subunits to form collective intelligences. The economy is a complex system consisting of autonomous elements at multiple scales and which exhibits adaptive problem-solving capabilities, suggesting that the economy offers an interesting and important example of collective intelligence. We identify the price system as the cognitive glue of the economy which works to coordinate the economy by acting as an affordance that allows members of the economy to use it to form plans that are mutually compatible with the plans of every other member of the economy. Using the existing collective intelligence framework of Watson and Levin [1] we elaborate on various aspects of the economy that make it useful to model the economy as a collective intelligence. We argue that any cognitive glue must solve the same kind of problem that the price system solves in broadly the same way that the price system solves it, and thus the price system serves as a generic template or abstract model for all cognitive glues. Finally, we describe some research ideas that combine concepts from biology and economics in the hopes of inspiring interdisciplinary collaboration.
Seeing Through the Black-Pill: Incels Are Wrong About What People Think of Them.
Authors: Costello William , Thomas Andrew G.
Published: November 2024

Incels (involuntary celibates) are an online subculture of men who form their identity around their perceived inability to form sexual or romantic relationships. Incels have a nihilistic perspective of the self, strong misogynistic beliefs about women, and importantly share the view that society hates them. This novel study explores the gaps between incels' perceptions of themselves and wider society and what others actually thinks about them. Using survey data from 135 incels and 449 non-incels, we found that incels overestimated how much society blames them for their problems and underestimated how much society sympathizes with them. Notably, however, higher levels of feminist identity among non-incels were linked to decreased sympathy and heightened animosity towards incels. Both incels and non-incels alike, regardless of feminist identity, agreed that incels pose a danger to themselves. Further analysis revealed that only incels' perception of societal blame was predicted by loneliness, which suggests that incel identity itself exerts a more pervasive influence on their distorted beliefs about society than individual differences in loneliness. We discuss how real-world hostility towards incels may fuel their distorted views about society and how these findings might inform therapeutic approaches to promote healthier social integration.
The Relationship of Job Crafting with Turnover Intention and Job Performance with the Mediating Role of Emotional Exhaustion
Authors: Taghpour Azin , Zarrinrad Ehsan , Mirghasemi Reyhaneh
Published: November 2024

The primary objective of this research was to explore the impact of job crafting on turnover intention and job performance, while considering emotional exhaustion as a critical mediating factor. Data was gathered using an online questionnaire. A total of 313 employees from a pharmaceutical products wholesale company were randomly chosen as the research sample. The research hypotheses were evaluated through structural equation modeling, utilizing SPSS and AMOS software. The research findings indicated that job crafting significantly reduces turnover intention and has a significant, positive impact on job performance. Additionally, emotional exhaustion serves as a mediator in the relationship between job crafting and turnover intention. Nevertheless, the findings indicated that emotional exhaustion does not significantly mediate the relationship between job crafting and job performance. The study reveals that job crafting mitigates turnover intention and emotional exhaustion while enhancing job performance.
Election Outcomes and Affective Polarization in the United States: A Regression Discontinuity Design
Authors: Phillips Joseph B , Warner Seth
Published: November 2024

Do election outcomes lead to affective polarization? A growing set of studies pose this question, fearing that the fundamental mechanism of democracy—competitive elections—may also pose a risk to its stability. However, many political stimuli occur around election time. How can researchers isolate the effect of winning or losing itself? In this study, we use a pre-post regression continuity design (RDD) to study the effect of 648 close US House, Senate, and state-level presidential outcomes between 1996 and 2020 on the attitudes of survey respondents who experienced them. When controlling for pre-election polarization, people whose party saw a “close win” emerge more polarized than their opposition. However, this is primarily because of movement among the election’s losers, who depolarize by feeling less warmly toward their own party. If election losses weaken people’s commitment to democracy, anger at the opposition may not be the reason.
A method for measuring a human sleeping in a highly concentrated Epsom salt solution (float tank)
Authors: Cho Garry , D'rozario Angela , Nelson Alec , Marshall Nathaniel
Published: November 2024

Dolphins sleep one half of their brain at a time and this is called unihemispheric slow wave sleep. The Northern Fur Seal has been reported to do this whilst in the water but sleep bi-hemispherically when it is terrestrial. These observations made us wonder this ability might be evolutionarily conserved in humans if we simply slept in water. The methodological problem was how to measure EEG when somebody is floating.We built a waterproof and temperature regulated housing to protect an EEG recorder (Alice PDX, Respironics) from being near a restricted environmental stimulation therapy float tank (AKA Float REST therapy) with very low level light and noise and thermoneutral temperature. Float therapy uses a highly concentrated Epsom salt solution making the human body extremely buoyant. We recorded EEG at the left and right pre-frontal cortex and also eye movements with EOG using surface electrodes. EEG was interpreted using standard international sleep scoring criteria. A single male human with previous float tank experience was recorded in the float tank on 2 nap opportunities. We recorded scorable EEG and detected unequivocal stage 2 sleep characteristics in both nap opportunities. At no point did we detect unihemispheric slow wave sleep. Humans can fall asleep in water and we could record the EEG & EOG and saw clear evidence of unequivocal sleep. We saw no asymmetry in the sleep but have not yet captured an extended period of slow waves to compare to see whether humans sleep like dolphins when they sleep in water.

Published: November 2024

Objectives: To identify, summarise, and analyse published comments relevant to the PRISMA-P (Preferred Items for Reporting Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols) 2015 reporting guideline for systematic review protocols, with special emphasis on suggestions for guideline modifications.Methods: We included documents (e.g., empirical studies and social media posts) that included comments relevant to PRISMA-P 2015. We searched bibliographic databases (e.g., Embase, MEDLINE, Scopus, from January 1st 2015 to February 2nd 2024) and other sources (e.g., BMJ rapid responses, BMC Blog Network, from January 1st 2015 to April 22nd 2024). Two authors independently assessed documents for inclusion, extracted data, and categorised comments. We categorised comments as ‘suggestion for modification to the wording of an existing PRISMA-P 2015 item’, ‘suggestion for a new item’, ‘suggestion for deletion of an existing PRISMA-P 2015 item’, or ‘additional comment’. We categorised each comment into themes and provided a summary and examples of the proposed suggestions. We analysed the characteristics of the suggestions by describing the rationale and comparing with existing PRISMA-P 2015 guidance.Results: We assessed full text of 1,912 potentially eligible documents and included 28 documents with 38 comments. Eleven comments suggested modifications to existing guideline items. Multiple comments proposed modifications to items related to eligibility criteria (three comments made different suggestions, e.g., one comment suggested to include reporting guidance relating to retracted papers in PRISMA 2020 and we deemed this potentially relevant for systematic review protocols) and data synthesis (three comments made different suggestions, e.g., one comment suggested to add reporting guidance relation to prediction intervals for random-effects meta-analyses in PRISMA 2020 and we deemed this potentially relevant for systematic review protocols). There were 11 comments suggesting new items. The data items section of PRISMA-P 2015 received the most comments (five comments made different suggestions, e.g., three comments suggested to add content on pre-specifying whether authors plan to extract information on funding and conflicts of interest among the included studies). Most of the suggestions provided a rationale directly in the document and around two-thirds of the suggestions addressed content not already included in PRISMA-P 2015.Conclusion: The issues raised provide context to authors, peer reviewers, editors, and readers of systematic review protocols using PRISMA-P 2015 and inform the planned update of the guideline.

Published: November 2024

Indonesia's rapidly growing digital economy presents significant opportunities and challenges for companies like Alumagubi, an IT company diversifying into the data centre infrastructure sector. This study investigates the strategic challenges faced by Alumagubi, an established IT solutions provider, which produces IT applications for customers to enhance the digitalization business alignment in customer organization, then Alumagubi diversifies its business into Procurement and Facility Operation Maintenance Services for Data Center Infrastructure in Indonesia, which required several different technical hard skill and managerial skill set. The research explores the necessary organizational competencies, people development strategies, and structural transformations required to support this diversification. The key findings reveal critical technical and managerial competency gaps that Alumagubi needs to address, including: mechanical, electrical and plumbing (technical competency gaps), leadership, communication and decision-making (managerial competency gaps). To bridge these competency gaps, this comprehensive study provides Alumagubi with a roadmap to align its capabilities with its strategic objectives, ensuring sustainable growth in its new business ventures within the data center infrastructure. It used a mixed methods approach combining qualitative insights from interviews with key stakeholders, quantitative analysis of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to rank the competency areas. Results demonstrated the demands for expertise in both mechanical and electrical systems as well as the enhancement of managerial skills pertaining to information processing and decision-making; project management; and project control. The study suggests an appropriate human capital development strategy, which includes skills gap analysis appropriate skills training projects, e-learning platforms, and organisational restructuring to encourage innovation and operational efficiency. This provides the framework what Alumagubi can use to transform for competition and sustainability in the data centre market in the long term.
Children’s Sensitivity to Difficulty and Reward Probability When Deciding to Take on a Task
Authors: Wang Jenny
Published: November 2024

Sometimes we should persist to succeed. But other times it might be wiser to give up on the task at hand and focus our energy on something new. Knowing whether a task is worth the effort potentially requires multiple capacities, including sensitivity to one’s own likelihood to succeed on the current problem, the associated costs with continuing to pursue it, and evaluation of opportunities for reward from the success. But these capacities may be particularly challenging for young children. Here we ask how young children are sensitive to cognitive cost (one’s capacity and the opportunity cost of persisting) and reward probability (how likely they are to receive a reward when succeeding) when making decisions. Using a simple counting task, we showed that 4- to 5-year-old children in the US (N = 40, pre-registered) chose to give up more when the task was more difficult (and therefore cognitively more costly), especially when the probability of reward was low. These results extend previous findings and suggest the ability to consider and evaluate cognitive cost and reward probability may be in place by 4 years of age.
Population estimation using 3D city modelling and Carto2S datasets - A case study
Authors: Singla Jai
Published: November 2024

With the launch of Carto2S series of satellites, high resolution images (0.6-1.0 meters) are acquired and available for use. High resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with better accuracies can be generated using C2S multi-view and multi date datasets. DEMs are further used as an input to derive Digital terrain models (DTMs) and to extract accurate heights of the objects (building and tree) over the surface of the Earth. Extracted building heights are validated with ground control points and can be used for generation of city modelling and resource estimation like population estimation, health planning, water and transport resource estimations. In this study, an attempt is made to assess the population of a township using high-resolution Indian remote sensing satellite datasets. We used Carto 2S multi-view data and generated a precise DEM and DTM over a city area. Using DEM and DTM datasets, accurate heights of the buildings are extracted which are further validated with ground data. Accurate building heights and high resolution imagery are used for generating accurate virtual 3D city model and assessing the number of floor and carpet area of the houses/ flats/ apartments. Population estimation of the area is made using derived information of no of houses/ flats/ apartments from the satellite datasets. Further, information about number of hospital and schools around the residential area is extracted from open street maps (OSM). Population estimation using satellite data and derived information from OSM datasets can prove to be very good tool for local administrator and decision makers.
From team rationality to morality: Implicit joint plans carry moral force
Authors: Le Pargneux Arthur , Cushman Fiery Andrews , Zeitoun Hossam , Chater Nick
Published: November 2024

Collaboration is essential to social life. Sometimes teams, families, companies, and other organizations agree on explicit rules governing such collaboration, and these are backed by moral force: To violate the rule is wrong. Other times, however, we find ways to collaborate on the fly, without rules or norms, or even explicit communication. This often requires inferring a joint plan — imagining “what coordination would we agree to, if we could?” — and playing our surmised role. Is it also considered morally wrong to violate an implicit or inferred joint plan? In five preregistered experiments (n = 1,506), we show that deviating from an inferred joint plan is perceived as morally problematic, even without prior communication or agreement. In other words, just as the agreements we actually make are morally binding, so too are the patterns of conduct that we infer our social partners would agree upon.
Infrastructural harm: Rethinking ocean governance and justice amidst challenges of the Anthropocene
Authors: Rafaly Vonintsoa
Published: November 2024

In recent decades, intensified human activities—overfishing, marine pollution, and offshore energy exploitation—have drastically altered marine ecosystems, inducing complex environmental and social challenges. The latter disproportionately impacts developing nations and vulnerable communities. While the law of the sea was originally designed to ensure peace, security, and legal order for the ocean, its facilitation of industrialized ocean exploitation has inadvertently contributed to widening inequality gaps. This paper leverages infrastructure studies to discuss the "infrastructural work of law" and explore how law’s distributional effects perpetuate injustices in ocean governance. By analyzing case studies such as marine resource conservation and shipping regulations, the study illustrates how thinking of law through an infrastructural lens reveals its agency and its potential for harm in the global ocean polity. This perspective advances an understanding of ocean justice that accounts for the complex and multi-scalar dynamics required to address the unequal burdens of the Anthropocene.

Application of Structuration Theory to the Phenomenon of International Migration
Authors: Rai Puspa Raj
Published: November 2024

This paper examines migration theories and finds out the application of Anthony Gidden's structuration theory to international migration. Neoclassical (macro) theory, new economics theory, dual labor market, and the world-system are more centralized in the structure. Neoclassical (micro) theory focuses more on the individual without structure. The problems of the structure-agency debate do not serve to investigate social reality, but partial social reality digs out. These theories do not bridge the structure and agency for studying international migration. Structure-dominant migration theories conceptualize a system as a stable action pattern made by interdependent parts or elements. These theories ignored the homeostatic causal loops of system and self-regulation through feedback and conceptual weakness in structure as a stable pattern. Still, the structure is also generative rules and resources. The role of allocative resources and authoritative resources in migration studies has been shadowed. Actor-dominant migration theories do not cover the individual face-to-face interaction with group and collective action, collective action influences the individual interaction and behavior of the migration. These theories also focus on consciousness but do not focus on reflective consciousness, practical consciousness, and unconscious consciousness.

Authors: Shrestha Suprit , Maharjan Milan , K.C. Subin
Published: November 2024

This research paper investigates the contribution of sectoral credit to the economic growth of Nepal. Utilizing a dataset covering quarterly time series data from Fiscal Year 2010/11 quarter 1 to Fiscal Year 2022/23 quarter 2, the study employs an empirical approach to examine the relationship between sectoral credit allocation and gross domestic product (GDP). The analysis focuses on three key sectors: agriculture, service, and industry. The results indicate significant findings in both the long run and short run. In the long run, agricultural sector credit exhibits a negative impact on GDP, while service sector credit shows a positive effect. However, the impact of industrial sector credit is inconclusive. In the short run, agricultural credit positively influences GDP after a certain lag, and service credit has an immediate positive impact.
Comparative Analysis of Urban Area Extraction Using Different Classification Methods: A Case Study of Ghorahi Sub-Metropolitan City, Nepal
Authors: Poudel Khagendra Raj , Rawat Krishna
Published: November 2024

Rapid urban area expansion is taking place Ghorahi Sub-Metropolis City in the last ten years. But there is no detailed analysis carried yet. This study focuses on analyzing the urbanization and LULC changes by adopting different classification techniques in the multispectral remote sensing imagery. For this propose, Landsat OLI data of 2013, 2016 and 2020 have been downloaded from USGS site and analyzed. Four algorithms are compared in this paper to reach the most accurate technique for urban area extraction: namely, supervised maximum-likelihood (SML), Indices-based SML, Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers, and Indices-based SVM classifiers. The results shows that the Indices-based SVM classifier had the maximum classification accuracy for LULC maps pertaining to 2013, 2016, and 2020. The accuracy assessments were performed which further established the results and showed notable changes: agricultural land decreased by 13.75%, barren land increased by 297.21%, and the built-up area increased by 82.09% from 2013 to 2020. This rapid growth of urban areas necessitates the adoption of sustainable land-use policies, zoning laws, and measures for preventing the conversion of agricultural land to other land uses. These changes need to be unwrapped for mitigating the environmental and social consequences of growth in Ghorahi Sub-metropolitan City.
Condition of Women in Vedic Marriage Sacrament in the Himalayan Region
Authors: Adhikari Shukra Raj , Acharya Ganga
Published: November 2024

The marriage as a institution is deeply rooted in socio-cultural structures and is considered a significant rite of passage for humanity. The rituals have been practiced since the dawn of human civilization and have been documented in the Veda which is recognized as the oldest scriptures in the world reflecting the social structure of Vedic civilization of the Himalayan Region. The Vedas, representing the early patriarchal socio-cultural system and its rituals, provide insights into the concept of marriage as a ritual and the role of women within it. In this context, this research aims to delve into the concept of marriage as a ritual and scrutinize the position of females within the framework of Vedic marriage rituals. To achieve this objective, a historical content analysis method has been used to gather data through the hymns of Vedas and interpretations of early Indian history under the qualitative research design. The research uncovers the patriarchal nature of the Vedic context. Despite this, women are depicted as symbols of prosperity and elevation within the Vedic marriage ritual, which does not fully align with the theoretical arguments of patriarchy.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to identify the priority weight in decision-making in the Sanur Port construction project, which involves various stakeholders with diverse interests and powers. Decisions taken in this project can determine the success of implementation and reduce the impacts caused, especially in dealing with problem situations. The study was conducted using a focus group discussion method involving experts who are experienced in port development. Furthermore, the Rank Order Centroid (ROC) method was used to calculate the priority weight of each stakeholder in decision-making according to expert opinion. The results of the study showed that 11 stakeholders were collected into 4 quadrants in the stakeholder mapping. The highest priority weight is acquired by the project owner (0.5467), JO - planning consultant contractor (0.2567), and construction management consultant (0.1566), which are in quadrant 1, followed by the local government (0.0900) in quadrant 2, and the affected community (0.0400) which is a combination of quadrants 3 and 4. This finding indicates that in decision-making in the Sanur Port construction project, a diverse approach is needed to minimize losses from each stakeholder. The results of this study are expected to offer insight for decision-makers to understand the dynamics of stakeholders in port construction projects. This understanding will help improve the effectiveness of project management in the future.

Published: November 2024

The positive effects of biochar on both soil quality and plant growth and also on plant growth of macroalgae have been reported in studies. Studies on biochar and macroalgae interaction are quite limited. This study was carried out according to randomized plot design in greenhouse conditions to determine the effects of biochar and Cladophora glomerata applications and interaction on the growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and some enzyme activities in the rhizosphere. Biochar and C. glomerata interaction increased wheat root (90%) and shoot dry weight (84.2%), root length (43.1%) and plant height (84.2%) compared to control. Biochar application increased alkaline phosphatase activity by 66.3%, while C. glomerata increased β-glucosidase activity by 49%. The interaction of both applications increased catalase activity by 62.1% compared to control. These findings confirm the potential of biochar and C. glomerata to improve wheat production by inducing growth.

Published: November 2024

Introducción: La deserción escolar en estudiantes universitarios constituye un desafío considerable para las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES), afectando tanto a los estudiantes como a las casas de estudio. En este contexto, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la influencia de los factores socioemocionales en la deserción de estudiantes de Educación Superior, tomando como referencia el período 2021 - 2022. Se establecen dos hipótesis principales: H1, que plantea una influencia directa de los factores socioemocionales en la deserción universitaria, y H2, que sugiere una relación significativa entre la deserción universitaria causada por estos factores y los niveles de inteligencia emocional de los estudiantes. La investigación se centra en universidades ecuatorianas, incluyendo tanto instituciones estatales como autofinanciadas, y abarca niveles de grado y posgrado. Metodología: Se empleó una metodología de estudio de campo con un diseño mixto, de corte transversal, descriptivo, correlacional y propositivo. La muestra estuvo conformada por 377 casos, seleccionados de diversas instituciones universitarias. Para recabar la información, se aplicó una entrevista estructurada a toda la muestra, mientras que 48 participantes fueron evaluados mediante un test específico para medir sus niveles de inteligencia emocional. Resultados: Los resultados obtenidos revelaron que existen factores socioemocionales asociados a la deserción estudiantil universitaria, entre los que destaca la enfermedad, junto con otros factores que afectan la permanencia de los estudiantes en las instituciones. Además, se halló una correlación estadísticamente significativa entre los niveles de inteligencia emocional de los estudiantes y su probabilidad de deserción, lo que respalda la hipótesis planteada sobre la relación entre la inteligencia emocional y los factores socioemocionales. Discusión: Los hallazgos del estudio sugieren que los factores socioemocionales desempeñan un papel crucial en la decisión de abandonar los estudios universitarios. En particular, la inteligencia emocional emerge como un aspecto relevante que podría ayudar a los estudiantes a afrontar los desafíos emocionales y sociales asociados a la vida universitaria. Estos resultados resaltan la necesidad de implementar programas de apoyo que fomenten la inteligencia emocional en el ámbito universitario, especialmente en aquellos estudiantes que presentan vulnerabilidades socioemocionales. Conclusiones: En conclusión, los factores socioemocionales son determinantes en la deserción universitaria, y la inteligencia emocional actúa como un modulador significativo de esta problemática. Las universidades deben considerar estos hallazgos para desarrollar políticas de retención que incluyan el fortalecimiento de las habilidades socioemocionales de los estudiantes, contribuyendo a reducir las tasas de deserción y a mejorar el bienestar estudiantil.

The effective inclusion of polypropylene (PPH030) into bitumen during road building is essential for improving the qualities of the material. This research examined the impact of mixing factors on the homogeneity and effectiveness of PP-bitumen blends. The experiment conducted by using granules with a size of 4.3 mm. The mixing process took place at temperatures between 158 and 160°C for a duration of 1.5 hours. Nevertheless, this procedure proved inadequate in achieving enough blending and uniformity, resulting in the existence of unabsorbed particulate matter in the mixing nozzle and vessel walls. Further tests were carried out to enhance the mixing process. The temperature was adjusted to a range of 168-175 °C, and the mixing period was prolonged to 2 hours. Additionally, the PP content was increased to 4 percent. The findings showed a significant improvement in consistency, with no visible undissolved particles. In addition, examination of the mixed samples indicated a rise in the softening point from 53.4 to 61.2 °C when the PP content was increased, accompanied by a loss in penetration and elongation capabilities. The comparison with prior findings demonstrated that the adjusted circumstances resulted in a reasonable degree of mixing, as seen by the constant softening point and decreased penetration and elongation values.

Preliminary experiments have shown that the solution to the environmental problem of recycling copper-electrolyte smelting slags is by sulfidization followed by leaching and subsequent separation of selenium, tellurium, arsenic, and antimony from the solution. The first operation of this technology, which provides high selectivity, is sintering. The results obtained indicate the formation of metal thiosalts during sintering in the presence of sodium sulfate and carbonate and a reducing agent at a temperature of 800 0C. An increase in temperature leads to the melting of individual components of the charge and a slowdown in the process of sulfidization of slag components. At lower temperatures, a decrease in the activity of the charge components is observed. The optimal addition of Na2SO4 was 27 % of the slag weight, and Na2CO3 - 8.5 % of the slag weight. Reducing agent consumption is 27 % of the slag weight, sintering time is 2 hours. The optimal parameters for leaching the resulting cakes are temperature 90 0C, L:S ratio = 3:1, leaching duration 2 hours, and sodium sulfide concentration 2 mol/l. The best results for cake melting from cake leaching are temperature 1200 0C, heating rate 10 0C/min, and holding time 30 minutes. Charge composition: cake, 30 % soda ash by weight of cake, 11 % activated carbon. During the smelting, a metallized phase was obtained, consisting mainly of lead (90-91 %), and slag was obtained with a residual content of lead and copper of no more than 0.5 %.

Motives: Urban mobility models are constantly changing due to economic, social, infrastructural, and geographical factors. Preferences for transport modes vary by country, region, and city, and transport infrastructure and policy have a significant impact on residents’ choices. Additionally, economic factors such as economic crises, public policy decisions, and events such as armed conflicts have a significant impact on the dynamics of mobility in functional urban areas (FUAs).Aim: The main goal of the research was to create groups of countries (clusters) that have similar priorities regarding travel behaviour threats revealed as a result of the economic crisis resulting from the conflict in Ukraine.Results: The study shows that the main threats during the economic crisis (resulting from the war in Ukraine) are economic factors (e.g., ticket prices, an increase in fuel costs), legal factors (e.g., loss of a driving license or passenger transport license), and infrastructural factors (e.g., poor condition of infrastructure). The analysed countries were grouped based on the hierarchical prioritization of threats, using Ward’s hierarchical clustering method. Interestingly, the distance from the conflict epicentre did not significantly influence the prioritization of threat factors influencing transportation behaviour in FUAs. Instead, factors such as membership in international organizations, energy dependence on Russia, the level of economic growth, and transport infrastructure played a more key role in the priority-setting process.

The results of a study of the quality of crushed stone from gravel of fr. 5–20 mm and screening of crushing of fr. 0–5 mm of the Kama field were presented and an analysis of their compliance with the requirements of regulatory documents was carried out. The characteristics of the crushing products were determined: grain composition, content of crushed grains; amount of lamellar (flaky) and needle-like shape, presence of dust-like and clay particles, crushed stone crushability during compression in a cylinder, screening fineness modulus and content of reaction silica in crushed stone and screening. Compositions of high-strength concretes of class B60–B80 were developed, in which fine quartz sand was used to enrich the crushing screening, carbonate mineral powder of MP-1 grade and microsilica (MK-85) as a filler, and polycarboxylate superplasticizer Polyplast PK as a water-reducing additive. Optimal compositions were obtained with the following cement consumption: for concrete B60 with a compression strength of 78 MPa, cement consumption was 466 kg/m3, for class B70 with a strength of 91 MPa – 483 kg/m3 and for B80 with a strength of 104 MPa – 503 kg/m3. At the same time, concrete mixtures were characterized by a cone settlement of 25–27 cm.

New methylsulfate complex (Bu4N)2[Мо6I8(O3SOCH3)6] (I) is synthesized by the reaction of (Bu4N)2[Mo6I8(C≡C–C(O)OCH3)6] with dimethyl sulfate (CH3)2SO4. According to the XRD data, the molybdenum atoms are coordinated by the monodentate methylsulfate ligands. In a DMSO solution, the complex undergoes solvolysis accompanied by the complete substitution of the methylsulfate ligands by the solvent molecules. A powder sample of cluster I luminesces (phosphorescence) with the emission maximum at a wavelength of 620 nm (77 K). Increasing temperature to 300 K results in the shift of the emission maximum to 650 nm and a decrease in the integral intensity by 1.6 times.
РОЛЬ ФІЗИЧНОГО ВИХОВАННЯ ПРИ АДАПТАЦІЇ СТУДЕНТІВ – ПЕРШОКУРСНИКІВ ДО УМОВ НАВЧАННЯ У ЗВО

У статті висвітлено проблема адаптації студентів-першокурсників до умов вищої школи. Ця проблема є однією з нагальних проблем і дотепер залишається традиційним предметом дискусій науковців. Відомо, що адаптація студентської молоді до сучасного життя ‒ це складний, багатогранний та довготривалий процес, що вимагає залучення різних резервів молодого організму, який ще повністю не сформований у студентів, які поступили на I курс у заклад вищої освіти.
Аналізуючи опрацьовані наукові джерела нами вивчено навчально-методичну, науково-методичну, методологічну літературу, науково-дослідні роботи, програмні документи, здійснено систематизацію даного матеріалу.
Мотивація є одним з основних джерел активності студентів початкових курсів. Вона надає процесу фізичного виховання спрямованість на певний вид діяльності і значущу цінність. Тому формування фізичної культури майбутнього спеціаліста – це насамперед проблема виховання у студентів мотиваційного ставлення до неї.
Аналізуючи формувальну й виховну практику у закладах вищої освіти ми бачимо, що існує проблема формування позитивного й активного ставлення студентів I курсів до навчальної дисципліни «Фізичне виховання». Негативне ставлення студентів до відвідування занять з фізичного виховання, що досягає в Україні масштабу загальноприйнятості, деструктивно впливає на загальний стан їхнього здоров’я, на рівень фізичного розвитку та фізичну підготованість студентів до життєдіяльності. Науковці вбачають, що оптимізація навчального процесу з фізичного виховання студентів у закладі вищої освіти є одним із шляхів його удосконалення. Цей процес неможливий без урахування психофізіологічних можливостей студентів.

У статті розглянуто питання фізичної терапії спортсменів з тендинітом зв’язки надколінника. Встановлено, що тендиніт зв’язки наколінника є поширеною проблемою серед спортсменів, особливо у тих видах спорту, що передбачають стрибки та різкі зміни напрямку руху. Визначено, що фізична терапія є одним з основних методів лікування означеної патології, що підтверджується відповідними науковими розвідками. Проведено всебічний аналіз українських та зарубіжних досліджень ефективності різних методів фізичної терапії тендиніту зв’язки наколінника серед спортсменів з різним рівнем фізичної підготовки, таких як: вправи на зміцнення м’язів, розтяжка, масаж та інші методи. Розглянуто методи лікування тендинопатії наколінника, виділені зарубіжними науковцями, що передбачали відпочинок, модифікацію активності, протизапальні препарати, ін’єкційну терапію, тейпування, ексцентричні вправи, екстракорпоральну ударно-хвильову терапію, черезшкірний електроліз та хірургію, а також методи, запропоновані українськими дослідниками – кінезіотейпування, лікувальну фізкультуру, ударно-хвильову терапію, плазмоліфтинг, медикаментозну терапію та ін’єкції кортикостероїдів. Виділено додаткові методи, які можуть бути результативними при фізичній терапії тендиніту зв’язки наколінника: масаж, який покращує кровообіг, зменшує набряк і спазм м’язів, мануальну терапію, яка сприяє відновленню рухливості суглобів і м’яких тканин, лазеротерапію, застосування якої зменшує запалення та прискорює процеси регенерації. Також розглянуто профілактичні методи, використання яких сприятиме запобіганню виникнення тендиніту зв’язки наколінника у спортсменів, висвітлені в публікаціях зарубіжних та вітчизняних науковців. Згідно з українськими дослідженнями встановлено, що профілактика тендиніту зв’язки наколінника включає: розминку перед тренуваннями для підготовки м’язів до навантаження, поступове збільшення навантаження (з уникненням різких стрибків у тренувальному навантаженні), зміцнення м’язів стегна завдяки регулярним силовим тренуванням та правильну техніку виконання вправ для уникнення перенавантаження сухожилля. Відповідно до зарубіжних досліджень, у якості найпоширеніших профілактичних методів тендиніту зв’язки наколінника розглянуто статичне розтягування, вправи для стабільності ядра, ортез стопи, амортизаційні устілки та замісну гормональну терапію у жінок. Акцентовано увагу на тому, що раннє втручання і початок фізичної терапії збільшують шанси на повне відновлення організму спортсмена з тендинітом зв’язки наколінника.
