Localization of Fixations of the Perception Subject's Gaze on the Elements of the External Appearance When Constructing the Age of an Unfamiliar Person: The Priority of the Face
Authors: Vorontsova T.A. , Artamonova A.G. , Yavna D.V.
Published: October 2024

The aim of the study was to identify the localization of fixation of the subject's gaze on the elements of appearance when constructing the age of an unfamiliar person in a situation of presenting portrait (zones "head, hair", "forehead", "left eye", "right eye", "bridge of the nose", "nose", "right cheek", "left cheek", "lips", "chin", "neck", "shoulders", "chest") and full-length images (including additionally the zones "pelvis", "legs"). Methods: 1) the method of oculography using a software and hardware complex, including the Gazepoint GP3 Eye Tracker and the standard Gazepoint Analysis UX Edition (v.6.8.0)x64 software, as well as specially developed software; 2) the procedure of "Photo-visual presentation of appearance" by T.A. Vorontsova (setNo. 1). The study sample included 20 women and 14 men aged 19 to 59 years (M=36.82) as objects of perception; 334 women and 74 men aged 18 to 71 years (M=24.07) as subjects of perception.Results: 1) the features of age construction in the perception of portrait photography are described: the subject of perception within the main scope of viewing portrait photography is fixed on the eye area (1st place), forehead (2nd place), nose (3rd place) (we named the "triangle of interest"); the upper part of the face (forehead, eye area), starting from the second fixation; after the 11th fixation, the gaze of the subject of perception is more focused (compared with previous fixations) on the zones of the lower part of the face, as well as the zones of the neck, shoulders, chest; 2) the features of age construction in the perception of growth photography are revealed: the gaze of the subjects of perception moves to the elements of the face from the second fixation; a third of all fixations takes the proportion of the upper part of the face (forehead and eye area); the maximum concentration of the views of the subjects of perception on the forehead and eye areas was found at the third and fourth fixation; the proportion of the "triangle of interest" is significantly higher than the proportion of the integral "body" area (shoulders, chest, pelvis, legs); the least interest of the subjects of perception in the features of the physique was found at the third fixation, after which attention to them increases to a maximum at the twelfth fixation. The paper concludes that the priority of the face of the object of perception over the body; the priority of the upper part of the face over the lower, the priority of the left half of the face over the right when solving the perceptual task of determining the age of an unfamiliar person. The results obtained are discussed in the context of domestic approaches to communication, appearance, and cognitive processes.
Executive Functions in the Mental Set Formation Process: Shifting, Updating, Inhibition
Authors: Lazareva N.Yu. , Chistopolskaya A.V. , Vladimirov I.Y.
Published: October 2024

This study examined the mechanisms of mental set (Einstellung effect) formation. Earlier it was shown that executive functions are a system-forming element in the structure of the formation mental set mechanisms. Executive functions (shifting, updating, inhibition) are considered as possible mechanisms for the formation of mental set. Additional load on executive functions should influence the formation of mental set. To model mental set, adapted Lachins’ problems of two types were used – arithmetic and verbal. Loading of executive functions was carried out within the framework of the secondary task paradigm. It was demonstrated that additional loading of executive functions of any type does not prevent the formation of mental set on the arithmetic material. At the same time, loading the shifting function negatively influenced the mental set formation on the verbal material. Thus, additional loading of executive functions can, on the one hand, lead to reduce of fixation, and on the other, lead to strengthening of fixation. A small load on executive functions leads to fixation, an increase in load leads to reduce of fixation, and overload leads to an increase in fixation. Thus, the overall level of loading on executive functions plays a key role in the formation of mental set, and the interaction between them can be described as a U-shaped curve.
Self-Image of Women in Co-Dependence: A Psycholinguistic Approach
Authors: Grigorieva L.M.
Published: October 2024

The work is aimed at identifying less obvious features of the Self-Image of women with co-dependency through quantitative and qualitative expert analysis of language material. The study (N=85) involved respondents aged 20 to 50 (M=34), of whom 99% were female. All survey participants answered that they were in a partnership. The following methods were used: the questionnaire "Codependency Profile" adapted by N.G. Artemtseva (the questionnaire was created by the Community of Anonymous Codependents "CoDA - Co-Dependents Anonymous") and the associative test "What Am I?" modified by T.V. Rumyantseva (M. Kuhn, T. McPartland). Data processing took place in three stages. At the first stage, the questionnaire on the codependency profile of N.G. Artemtseva was processed and compared with the theoretical provisions of E.V. Emelyanova on the types of codependent relationships. The second stage included linguistic analysis: identifying key lexemes obtained as a result of the Kuhn-Markpartland test and compiling antonymous pairs of descriptors based on them. At the third stage, we compared the data from stages 1 and 2: the identified descriptors were correlated with the types of codependent relationships. The obtained results make it possible to say that the main psychological features of the codependency phenomenon can also be reflected at the lexical level. This clearly demonstrates not so much the difference in the construction of the lexical-semantic space of the Self-Image in different types of codependent relationships, but the similarity of its representation. Thus, the lexical-semantic space in different types of codependent relationships has similar content and reflects the socially approved life characteristic of our socio-cultural context with a fixation on another person and his needs, the desire to gain self-worth and satisfy the need for control (over one's own life or the life of a partner).

Published: October 2024

In normotypic children 4-7 years old and their peers with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), an electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded in situations of observation of imaginary and real actions of the experimenter, as well as when the action was repeated by children. The relevance of the study is due to the assumption of a violation in children with ASD of the functioning of the so-called mirror neuron system (MNS). In both groups of children in these situations, desynchronization of EEG power was detected in individually defined mu-rhythm ranges in the central, frontal and parietal locus, which indicates the activation of MNS. At the same time, in children with ASD in all experimental situations, there was a greater desynchronization of the mu-rhythm in the areas of the lower frontal gyri of the left and right hemispheres (locus F7 and F8), compared with normotypic children. However, in the central locus of the right hemisphere (C4 locus), under the conditions of observation of a real action in children with ASD, there is significantly less desynchronization of the mu-rhythm compared to the norm group, which is probably due to less activation of MNS when perceiving the purposeful actions of another person. The results obtained are important for understanding social behavior disorders in children with ASD and developing methods for their correction.
The subacute behavior of arterial blood pressure in street runners after a session of high-intensity continuous and interval training: Study protocol
Authors: Atilio Cabassa Junior Moises , Martins Cunha Raphael
Published: October 2024

Background: Street running is a form of exercise, often pursued recreationally, that has been growing in popularity in recent years. Among the training methods, both moderate-intensity continuous running and high-intensity interval running have been prescribed. However, while the latter is motivating, it requires further investigation regarding cardiovascular responses. Objectives: Evaluate the subacute blood pressure responses in healthy young adults, who are street runners, after a session of high-intensity interval running and a session of moderate-intensity continuous running. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with 10 street-runners, who underwent 3 protocols continuous aerobic (CA); high-intensity interval (HII); and control (C). In CA group, a 3000m continuous running session was performed at 75% of the heart rate reserve. In HII group, a similar volume session was conducted, consisting of 7 cycles of stimulus and recovery, where 300m will be run at maximum speed followed by 100m of passive recovery with walking. And in C group, no exercise was performed. Blood pressure measurements will be taken before, immediately after, and every 10 minutes up to 40 minutes after the end of the protocols. Considerations: This study protocol aims to provide additional contributions to the understanding of the subacute hemodynamic responses associated with high-intensity interval running and moderate-intensity running.
De l’inégalité objectivisée à l’inégalité ressentie et aux peurs qu’elle suscite: les réfugiés pris au piège de l’identité
Authors: Moirand Sophie
Published: October 2024

Résumé: Cet article interroge les relations entre identité et inégalité dans les récits publiés par la presse française, lors de la crise des migrants (ou réfugiés) en Europe (2015-2016). Après un rapide recensement des mots qui disent l’(in)égalité depuis le Siècle des Lumières jusqu’aux études récentes de sciences humaines, l’analyse s’attache à construire le profil sémantique de mots associés rencontrés dans les médias lors de micro-événements liés à cette crise, à partir de leurs cotextes (mots et constructions), telle l’inscription de la peur dans les discours représentés (faire peur vs avoir peur). Cette étude conduit à conclure: d’une part que ce qui sous-tend les formes discursives de clivage identitaire, c’est en fait “la peur de perdre son identité”; d’autre part que l’inégalité “ressentie” à travers une religion ou une ethnie remet en cause l’identité républicaine qui est, historiquement et toujours, celle de la France.Mots-clés: discours des médias; émotion; identité; inégalité; migrant; peur; profil sémantique; sémantique discursive.Abstract: This paper examines the relations between identity and inequality in French newspaper discourse about the migrants’ or refugees’ events in Europe (2015-2016). After compiling the words of (in)equality since the 18th century to recent studies of human and social sciences, the analysis focuses on building the semantic profile of keywords linked to these events within its cotextual relations, as words and constructions of fear in media discourses (cause fear vs feel fear). This study leads to two conclusions: what underlies the discursive forms of identity cleavage is “the fear of losing its own identity”; inequality felt through religion or ethnicity undermines the republican identity, that is, historically and also, the identity of France.Keywords: French Daily Press; Emotion; Identity; Inequality; Migrant; Fear; Semantic Profile; Discursive Semantics.
La figure du “jeune des banlieues” en France: Genèse, mutations et déterritorialisation
Authors: Lochard Guy
Published: October 2024

Résumé: La “question urbaine” hante depuis très longtemps l’imaginaire collectif français et elle s’est condensée depuis près d’un siècle sur la figure du jeune déviant urbain. Cet article s’attache à mettre en évidence la genèse puis les transformations de ce personnage stéréotypique ainsi que la construction et les déplacements de grandes configurations actantielles qu’il contribue à structurer. Il souligne l’importante mutation intervenue depuis une trentaine d’années avec son ethnicisation. Puis, plus récemment, avec l’apparition de la figure du djihadiste qui est sujette à une forme de déterritorialisation, la menace liée à cette population juvénile pouvant désormais siéger dans des micro-espaces résidentiels des grandes agglomérations ou dans des bourgades provinciales. Faut-il conclure à une dilution de la “question des banlieues” en France? L’auteur reste interrogatif devant le surgissement de moments discursifs comme la récente “affaire Benzema”, relative à la non-sélection en équipe de France de football d’un joueur-vedette d’origine maghrébine.  Mots-clés: marginalité urbaine; imaginaire urbain; stéréotypisation; médias; cinéma.Abstract: The “urban issue” haunted for a long time the French collective imagination and has condensed for nearly a century on the stereotypical figure of the young urban deviant. The article attempts to highlight the origins and transformations of this stereotypical character as well as the construction and displacement of large actantial configurations that it helps to structure. It stresses the important transformation that has taken place over thirty years with his ethnicization. Then, more recently, with the appearance of the character of the jihadist — who is subject to a form of deterritorialization — the threat related to this young population may henceforth sit in residential micro areas of large cities or in provincial towns. Must we conclude that there is a dilution of the “question of the suburbs” in France? The author remains questioning when faced with the emergence of discursive moments such as the recent “Benzema affair”, when a star football player of North African origin was not selected for the France team.Keywords: Urban Marginality; Urban Imaginary; Stereotyping; Media; Movies.
Kappa statistic for judgment agreement in Sociolinguistics / Estatística Kappa para concordância de julgamento em Sociolinguística
Authors: Freitag Raquel Meister Ko.
Published: October 2024

Abstract: Perception studies have required the development of new techniques, as well as new ways of analyzing data. This paper discusses the proposal of Kappa statistic for the measurement of agreement amongst judgments in perception tests. The analysis deals with data obtained from a subjective reaction test focusing on the variable pronunciation of /t, d/ as stops or affricates in Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil, considering aesthetic, rhythmic, and dialectal factors. Kappa statistic shows aspects of the inter-rater agreement and reliability that can explain how the linguistic change is driven in the community. This type of analysis also allows to account for, in a perception study, the sex/gender bias observed in production. Results suggest that Kappa-statistics is a tool that can improve the explanatory power of perceptual studies in Sociolinguistics.Keywords: Sociolinguistic perception; statistic tools; inter-rater agreement; /t,d/ palatalization.Resumo: Estudos de percepção têm demandado o desenvolvimento de novas técnicas, assim como novas formas de analisar os dados obtidos. Este texto discute a proposta do teste Kappa para a aferição da força de convergência de julgamentos em testes de percepção. A análise é realizada com dados obtidos em um teste de reação subjetiva quanto à realização variável de /t,d/ em Aracaju, Brasil, considerando fatores estéticos, rítmicos e dialetais. A estatística Kappa mostra aspectos da concordância e da confiabilidade entre os avaliadores que podem ser usados para explicar como a mudança linguística se dá na comunidade. A análise também permite identificar em um estudo da percepção o viés de sexo/gênero observado nos estudos de produção. Os resultados mostram que a estatística Kappa é uma ferramenta que pode ampliar o poder explanatório dos estudos de percepção em Sociolinguística.Palavras-chave: percepção sociolinguística; ferramentas estatísticas; concordância de juízes; palatalização de /t,d/.

Important properties of central island and median island at roundabouts
Authors: Hrapović Kerim
Published: October 2024

The central island and median island are very important elements of a roundabout, which strongly influence the impact on traffic and safety of road users. The central island should be designed in such a way that it is perceived as an obstacle in the approach. At roundabouts with an outside diameter of more than 35.0 m, the central island should prevent the view from the approach road straight ahead to the opposite exit. This can be achieved with various design options such as trees in the central island. The layout of the central island should be customized to suit the particular local conditions. When designing the central island, it is important to factor in the requirements of buses, along with municipal and emergency vehicles. While aesthetics is a consideration, the geometric design of the intersection is a critical aspect in roundabout planning. If sufficient space is available after considering the turning radii of key vehicles, curbs can be used to define boundaries. Alternatively, paved island sections that allow partial or full traversal can be a viable option.

Notes for a Pasolinian heritage in Amelia Rosselli’s verses
Amelia Rosselli and Pier Paolo Pasolini represent two of the most relevant characters of the second half of the Italian twentieth century. Their diversity and independence, as opposed to other cultural and literary perspectives of that time, are significant and allow for an interesting comparison, particularly with regard to their poetic contexts. Pasolini is always studied as a “complete” intellectual, while Rosselli is recognised as the poet of lapsus and trilingualism. The essay intends to analyse some noteworthy aspects of the relationship between them, starting from Pasolini’s role in introducing Rosselli to the public and proceeding to interpret Pasolini’s presence in several key passages of Amelia Rosselli’s work, from Variazioni belliche to Impromptu. The alleged dependence of Amelia Rosselli regarding the Pasolinian lexicon will be discussed. Pasolini couldn’t help but be astonished by her ability and diversity, even if he himself commits some mistakes of simplification, maybe caused by the excessive rush to be considered as the discoverer of an exceptional poet.

Tax Residence in the Era of e-Residency and Digital Nomads: International Experience and Ukrainian Context
Authors: Vitiuk Maksym
Published: October 2024

This article features in detail the understanding and definitions of e-residency and digital nomadism and how these affect the tax status of these people over time. With the help of countries like Croatia, Spain, Brazil, Portugal, and Estonia, it investigates into the legal and theoretical sides related to how a person not being a resident can obtain, hold, and give up e-residency and digital nomadism.In 2014, Estonia was the first country to introduce the concept of e-residency. This is the type of legal status that permits the individual to use a country’s software infrastructure without becoming a tax subject within that country. Digital nomadism, such as performed by high-skilled workers who can move their job to any place with an internet connection and travel visa often offered via special digital nomad visas, is related to the same phenomenon. Still, notwithstanding the peculiarities of these reforms promotion and the legal effectiveness of e-residence and digital nomadism, their taxation residency is still stuck to the conventional rules of taxation residency of e-residents and digital nomad which resident taxes are usually influenced by factors like the time spent in a country or where income is generated among other metrics unless distinctively specified under domestic law or international tax agreements.The research focuses on how e-residency and digital nomad visas, while being valid instruments of economic progress, do not change a person’s tax status in his country of actual residence except where the local law provides for such provisions. In this case, an individual who has e-residency in Estonia or has a digital nomad visa in Croatia would, in most cases, be treated as a resident of the country where this person is located and be subject to relevant taxes despite avalable tax reliefs guaranteed by countries grantingthis digital nomad visas.Building upon the experiences of these foreign jurisdictions, the article provides suggestions on how the terms digital nomad and e-resident can be embedded into the legislation of Ukraine. The establishment of these regimes is seen to be vital in the digital economy reconstruction of Ukraine after the war as they would bring in foreign skills, money and talent. Suggestions include the establishment and regulation of the tax status of e-residents and digital nomads so that the principles of best practices are observed to prevent the occurrence of dual taxation and encourage external investors.In the same viewpoint, the article underlines the significance of these mechanisms for global labor migration flows and considers the issues of labor migration in a global economy more widely. The legal issues involving e-residency, digital nomadism and tax residency bring to the fore the need for new tax.

Conceptual model of the technology for calculating the similarity threshold of two audio sequences
Authors: Холєв Владислав Олександрович
Published: October 2024

The paper is focused on the pressing problem of speaker verification by means of voice time series comparison. The aim of  this paper is to determine the orders of mel-frequency cepstral coefficients that most accurately describe the difference,  between an authentic voice and an artificially generated copy for their further use as input to a neural network model in a  resource-limited environment. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were accomplished: a conceptual model of the  technology for determining the similarity threshold of two audio series was developed; the orders of fine-frequency cepstral  coefficients with the most characteristic differences between the recording and the generated voice were determined on the  basis of neural network analysis; an experimental study of the dependence of the execution time and computational load on  the created feature vector when assessing the degree of similarity of two time series was conducted; and the optimal similarity threshold was determined on the basis of the chosen dataset. The developed model of the technology for determining the  similarity threshold was tested on a dataset that is a combination of the DEEP-VOICE dataset and our own dataset. The  demonstrated result of applying the developed technology showed an increase of 43% when using the specified MFCCs  compared to using all of them. Based on experimental studies, the DTW acceptance threshold was set at 0.37.

Published: October 2024

Background: Impacting approximately 20-30% of adults, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading contributor to liver dysfunction. This condition is characterized by the accumulation of more than 5% fat in the liver without the presence of concurrent chronic liver diseases or alcohol abuse. NAFLD manifests across a spectrum ranging from simple steatosis to more complex forms involving hepatic lesions, inflammation and fibrosis. This research aimed to assess the therapeutic effectiveness of Bovine Lactoferrin (BLF) in a model of NAFLD using male C57BL/6 mice. Methods: Adult male C57BL6 mice, with an average weight of 28 g, were obtained and maintained in a consistent environment at 22±2oC for 6 weeks, following a regulated 12-hour light-12-hour dark cycle. Control groups 1 and 3 were provided with a standard pellet feed, while model groups 2, 4, 5 and 6 were supplied with a high-fat diet. Induction of NAFLD included administering a high-fat diet (HFD) and CCl4 (0.5 mg/kg with olive oil) twice a week via intraperitoneal injection over 6 weeks. After the experimental procedures, an assessment of serum-biochemical parameters, inflammatory cytokines, anti-oxidant profile and liver histopathology were conducted. Result: The results revealed significant (p less than 0.05) alteration in sero-biochemical parameters, inflammatory cytokines (IL-10, TNF-α, NF-kB and TGF-β) anti-oxidant profile (nitric oxide assay, TBARS, SOD, GSH and Catalase) and histopathology of group 2 as compared to other groups. The groups 4, 5 and 6 showed significant improvement in all the parameters compared to disease control. The findings from this study suggest that BLF could potentially function as a therapeutic intervention for mitigating hepatic injury, inflammation and fibrosis in NAFLD by deactivating NF-kB pathway.

Published: October 2024

La ilusión de la mano de goma es un fenómeno que provoca alteraciones en la propiocepción. Sin embargo, las diferencias de su efecto en distintas edades y en sexo aún están en discusión. Durante los años en los que la ilusión de la mano de goma ha estado bajo investigación, ha llamado la atención un posible efecto atenuante del dolor. Sin embargo, la limitada cantidad de trabajos han producido resultados contradictorios. Este experimento contó con una muestra de 29 personas: 16 individuos de 17 a 28 años de edad y 13 personas de 40 a 60 años, 16 de ellos de sexo femenino y 13 de sexo masculino. No se encontraron diferencias significativas asociadas al sexo y a la edad con respecto a la intensidad de la ilusión ni se halló un efecto analgésico.

Authors: Ospina Diaz Juan Manuel , Ospina Ariza Laura Victoria , Hernández Perilla Dary Luz , Ortiz Cruz David Leonardo
Published: October 2024

Contexto: El cáncer gástrico es un problema de salud pública con gran impacto, que alcanzó 1.090.000 casos y 769.000 muertes en el año 2020, a nivel mundial; es la tercera causa de muerte por cáncer en el mundo. Objetivo: Determinar las características clínicas, patológicas y sociodemográficas en pacientes con cáncer gástrico atendidos en el Hospital Universitario San Rafael de Tunja entre el año 2015 y el año 2020. Materiales y métodos: estudio observacional, descriptivo de corte transversal. De los registros del Hospital San Rafael de Tunja se revisaron las historias clínicas de 138 pacientes, ingresados con diagnóstico de carcinoma gástrico, en el período 2015 – 2020. Resultados: edad media 61,7 años, 63,4% hombres; 52,7% provenientes de área rural; 25% con déficit nutricional por índice de masa corporal; 59,4% ya presentaba metástasis, las más frecuentes a Peritoneo, hígado y pulmón; Solo fue posible intervenir quirúrgicamente al 25,5% de los casos; Al momento de evaluación de las historias clínicas había fallecido el 43,5% de los pacientes. Conclusiones: Las condiciones ambientales, culturales y socioeconómicas generan escenarios  favorables para aumento de la incidencia de cáncer gástrico de tipo adenocarcinoma, lo que lleva a prever un aumento progresivo de los mismos. Es recomendable establecer protocolos de diagnóstico y capacitación para potencializar el diagnóstico precoz, que haga de la cirugía una opción curativa más efectiva y mejore el pronóstico de los pacientes. Sería conveniente que a nivel regional se estructure un centro observatorio de cáncer que haga vigilancia epidemiológica y georreferenciación de los casos para mejorar las condiciones de seguimiento y control

Blockbuster áspero e followability bloqueada
Authors: Damasceno Alex
Published: October 2024

O artigo investiga o caso do filme Tenet, de Christopher Nolan: um blockbuster que intencionalmente inviabiliza o entendimento da sua história. A problematização parte do conceito de followability, de Gallie, que descreve o ato de acompanhar uma história na articulação das ações de compreensão e explicação. Com base na perspectiva teórico-metodológica neoformalista e cognitivista dos estudos de cinema, de Bordwell e Thompson, analisamos a relação entre os dispositivos formais do filme e as atividades mentais executadas pelos espectadores. Como resultado, defendemos que Tenet constrói uma forma áspera no aspecto proairético da narrativa, o que estimula o público a produzir, com diferentes técnicas, narrativas suplementares de explicação, para serem compartilhadas em ambientes online. Dessa maneira, a incompreensão em Tenet engendra uma apropriação cult, associada à lógica da produção de conteúdos na cultura digital.

Objective: To identify the most cost-effective treatment in three main schemes for type 2 diabetes mellitus outpatients in a first level care unit in the Morelos State.
Materials and Method: In a sample of 1795 patients treated in a first-level unit, the cost-effectiveness coefficient calculation was performed for three treatment schemes, selected as part of the stepped treatment suggested in the main guides and for their availability at the first level of care. Costs of each intervention were calculated using the instrumentation estimation method and the average case management technique. A search was carried out in PubMed, Scopus, Scielo and Latindex databases based on keywords, and a review of the literature was made where the efficacy of the treatment schemes of interest was evaluated and the effectiveness was determined from the effect of the drugs of each intervention, compared to the effects of diet and other hypoglycemics. To identify the decision rule, the cost-effectiveness coefficient of each intervention was determined.
Results: The most cost-effective intervention was based on a combined oral treatment of metformin with glibenclamide, obtaining a total cost of $951.75 USD, with an effectiveness rate of 42.30% and an effectiveness coefficient of 2.25.
Conclusions: For the first level of care, it is recommended to promote more the use of combined oral treatment of metformin with glibenclamide.

Published: October 2024

Shear strength is a wood property which is fundamental to the design of wood-based products and constructions. This property cannot be predicted at present for lack of sufficient knowledge, mainly because of the large number of timber species that occur in the Congo Basin. The main aim of this study was to provide a preliminary qualification of shearing in Congo Basin timber species, with consideration for its variability. For this purpose, we studied 12 timber species with very different properties, from the least dense to the densest. Their shear strength was determined experimentally using European standards specifications, on the scale of the wood material used. A statistical analysis was conducted. To reduce shear strength variability, the species were assigned to four distinct clusters defined according to FCBA Institute specifications. With a view to developing allowable design stresses to facilitate decision-making, we evaluated the relative goodness-of-fit of five probabilistic shear strength distributions (normal, lognormal, exponential, Weibull 2 parameters and Weibull 3 parameters) that are used in wood-related applications. The results of geometric regression (R2 = 0.81) show that shear strength is well correlated with density. Shear strength can be more reliably predicted with the three-parameter Weibull distribution than with the other distributions. The findings of this study open up new prospects to be considered for the design of wood-based products with regard to shear, when using tropical timber species from the Congo Basin.

Published: October 2024

Abstract:This qualitative caring science study aims to seek a deeper understanding of loss and health after a life change viewed from a male perspective. In-depth interviews with 15 men were analyzed with thematic analysis. The results highlight seven themes: losing connection and belonging, losing control, losing oneself, belonging to a community and having one’s own projects, living everyday life and having a point of reference, getting up and finding a new platform, and having dreams and faith in the future. The themes are discussed against Erikson’s theory and the movement between suffering and health.
Becoming a Caring Nurse Through Reflection in a Role-Playing Simulation

Published: October 2024

Abstract:This Caring Science study aims to gain knowledge of nursing students becoming caring nurses through their use of reflection grounded in caring theories in role-play simulation. Individually written reflections were collected from 43 undergraduate nursing students from Norway, who had participated in role-play simulation with caring as the major subject. A qualitative content analysis resulted in three main themes: Becoming takes place in the movement between theory and experience, Becoming enables students to have the courage to be vulnerable and take responsibility, and Becoming enables a relationship where they can be affected and feel compassion.
The Indo-Pacific Region Between the Challenges of Confrontation and Opportunities for Interaction
Authors: Fedorovsky A.
Published: October 2024

The article examines the priorities of China and the United States in the Indo-Pacific, examines the current trends of the US-Chinese strategic confrontation in the Indo-Pacific region, expressed, among other things, in the formation of new international institutions reflecting primarily the economic rivalry of regional leaders. The key features of the policy of the Chinese leadership led by Xi Jinping in the Pacific are highlighted. The course of Pacific diplomacy of the administration of J.P. Blavatsky is compared. Biden’s Indo-Pacificist policies pursued by previous American governments in the 21st century. The official regional strategies of China, the United States and American allies are compared, and the multivariance of U.S. partnerships with Indo-Pacific countries is assessed. The balance of positive consequences and risks in the relations between the United States and China with the countries of the region is analyzed, as well as the readiness of the East Asian states to follow in the wake of American and Chinese diplomacy. In this context, the potential and prospects of the subjectivity of the countries of the region in the context of the American-Chinese rivalry, their possible role as a stabilizer of political and economic processes in the Indo-Pacific are investigated.

Kant’ın Sonu Belirsiz Olana Doğru Sürekli Azalan Küçüklere Dair Görü Anlayışının Tespiti ve Günümüzde Yeniden Yapılandırılması
Authors: Alçık Fazilet Fatıma
Published: October 2024

Kant’ın sistemi içinde, insan zihninin bütün bir birim olarak yakalayamadığı sonsuz küçüğü (Infinitesimal) kavramak nasıl mümkündür? Buna uygun bir görü var mıdır? Kalkülüsün 18. yüzyılda gelişmesiyle birlikte, bu iki kritik soru Kant’ın da yakından ilgilendiği sorular haline gelmiştir. Kalkülüsün gelişimi, fiziğin matematikselleştirilmesinde sonsuz küçüğün analizde kullanılmasını gerektirmiştir. Bu gereklilik; cebir anlayışı, uzayın yapısı, sonsuzun matematikte nasıl anlaşılması gerektiği ve süreklilik hakkında tartışmalara neden olmuştur. Kritik döneminde Kant, matematiği, sentetik a priori yargı çerçevesinde zamanın görüsü ve sayı şeması sayesinde birimlerin art arda inşası ile olanaklı kılarken kalkülüs için aynı ifadeleri kullanamaz. Tartışmalara cevap için Grundlegung zur Metaphysische Anfangsgründe der Naturwissenschaft’ı (1786) yazan Kant, öncelikle sonsuz küçük bölünmenin içinde mümkün olduğu bir uzay tasarımında bulunur. Fakat, sonsuz küçük büyüklüklerin bölünebilirliklerini sürekli maddenin parçalarına ‘gerçek’ (Wirkliche) bir uzaklık atfetmeden gerçekleştirdiğimizi ve bunu saf aklın ideası sayesinde yaptığımızı savunur. Burada, ‘İdeanın sağladığı sonsuz sürekli bölünebilir maddenin olduğu uzay, görünün nesnesi haline nasıl gelecek?’ sorusunu ele almamız gerekir. Bu nedenle bu makalede, aklın ideasının düzenleyici bir işlev içinde bunu nasıl mümkün kıldığı ve bu uzayın görüyle ilişkisinin nasıl kurulduğu soruşturulacaktır. Bu cevapları verirken Kant’ın Transition From The Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science to Physics projesinde fark ettiği gedik (Gap) için ‘Doğa biliminin genel a priori ilkeleri ampirik fiziğin spesifik sonuçlarına nasıl bağlanacak?’ sorusuna nasıl yanıt verdiği açıklanacaktır. Geçiş Projesi’nde, Michael Friedman’a referansla, Kant’ın kurucu-düzenleyici işlevler ayrımını bulanıklaştırmak zorunda kaldığı gösterilecek ve aklın transandantal ideal olarak uzayın bütününün temsili bakımından kurucu olduğu tek rolün olup olmadığı açığa çıkarılacaktır.
