Authors: Slyvka-Tylyshchak A. I. , Mykhasiuk M. M. , Pohoriliak O. O.
Published: May 2021

The heat equation with random conditions is a classical problem of mathematical physics. Recently, a number of works appeared, which in many ways investigated this equation according to the type of random initial conditions. We consider a Cauchy problem for the heat equations with a random right part. We study the inhomogeneous heat equation on the plane with a random right part. We consider the right part as a random function of the Orlicz space. The conditions of existence with probability one classical solution of the problem are investigated. For such a problem has been got the estimation for the distribution of the supremum solution.
Simulation of a Gaussian stationary process with a stable correlation function with a given reliability and accuracy
Authors: Petranova M. Yu.
Published: May 2021

In this paper, the representation of random processes in the form of random series with uncorrelated members obtained in the work by Yu. V. Kozachenko, I.V. Rozora, E.V. Turchina (2007) [1]. Similar constructions were studied in the book by Yu. V. Kozachenko and others. [2] in the general case. However, there are additional difficulties in construction of models of specific process, such as, for example, selection of the appropriate basis in L_2(R). In this paper, models are constructed that approximate the Gaussian process with a stable correlation function $\rho_{\alpha} (h) = E X_{\alpha}(t + h) X_{\alpha}(t) = B^2 \exp{-d|h|^{\alpha}}, \alpha > 0, d > 0$ with parameter $\alpha = 2$, which is a centered stationary process with a given reliability and accuracy in the space L_p ([0,T]). And also the rates of convergence of the models are found, the corresponding theorems are formulated. Methods of representation and main properties of the process with a stable correlation function $\rho_2(h) = B^2 \exp{-d|h|^2}, d > 0$ are considered. As a basis in the space L_2(T) Hermitian functions are used.
RULINGS OF THE CHIEF STATE SANITARY INSPECTORS: LEGAL NATURE AND LEGALITY OF RESTRICTIONS ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS
Authors: Khon Seul
Published: May 2021

Summary. This article deals with legal nature of the rulings of the Chief State Sanitary Inspectors, possibility and legality of imposed restrictions on human rights during COVID-19 pandemic in Kazakhstan. Goal. The article aims at defining the legal nature of abovementioned rulings with determination of their place within the Kazakhstan’s legal system and legal norms that allow Sanitary Inspectors to impose limitations on human rights. Imposed restrictions were evaluated in terms of their compliance with both the Kazakhstani laws and international human rights law provisions. The author analyzes current legal issues and does not aim at appealing the necessity of certain restrictions to protect the public health. Methods. Historical method, comparative legal analysis as well as studying and synthesis were used during research. Results. Analysis of the legal information and practice of certain states made it possible to come to the following results. Rulings of the Chief State Sanitary Inspectors are neither normative legal acts, nor non-normative legal acts. In other words, their position within Kazakhstan’s legal system is undefined. Also, there is no law that define criteria in accordance with which human rights and freedoms could be restricted and no exhaustive list of rights and freedoms that might be limited during massive spread of infectious and other dangerous diseases. The rulings didn’t follow the conditions stipulated in Kazakhstan’s Constitution and International Covenant on civil and political rights. Conclusions. Uncertain position of the rulings of the Chief State Sanitary Inspectors makes it necessary to regulate them within the newly adopted Administrative procedural and processrelated Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan that will enter into force on July 1st, 2021 and referring to them as administrative acts. This will clarify the process of their adoption, enforcement and appealing. Treatment of the rulings as administrative acts as well as introduction of legislative amendments in terms of adoption of the exhaustive and complete list of human rights and freedoms that might be restricted and the officials that might impose them will ensure the legality and legal certainty related to human rights.

Published: May 2021

The present work describes the catalytic effect of zinc particles for electroanalysis the paracetamol (PAR). The working electrode was prepared by mixing the zinc with the carbon powder. The voltammetric behavior of paracetamol was studied when an anodic peak to appear at 0.35 V in 0.1 M Na2SO4 solution (pH 12). The peak resulting from the irreversible oxidation of paracetamol on the zinc modified carbon paste electrode (Zn/CPE). The catalytic effect was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV). The electrocatalytic behavior of the zinc particles is allotted to its chemical and physical properties. This electrode has a good performance for the electroanalysis of paracetamol. To obtain an electrochemical analysis of paracetamol oxidation at the surface of Zn/CPE, the voltammograms are used in a potential range of - 1.5 V to 1.5 V. More, Zn/CPE can be utilized successfully to ameliorate the electroanalysis of paracetamol at very feeble concentration and with high detection sensitivity. The limit of detection (LD) and quantification (LQ) obtained are respectively 7.52·10-8 mol L-1 and 2.6·10-7 mol L-1. Then the relative standard deviation (RSD) at 2.0·10-5 mol L-1 PAR concentration was 2.88 % for nine repetitions. Afterward, the presented method was used to electroanalysis paracetamol in human blood samples with satisfying results.
The Alleged (De)Politicization Problem of Post-Critical Pedagogy Reconsidered
Authors: Krönig Franz Kasper
Published: May 2021

This essay tries to intervene in the discussion between Naomi Hodgson on the one hand and Joris Vlieghe and Piotr Zamojski on the other about the meaning and function of the political in and for education. Firstly, it argues against the common charge of essentialism that is brought against ontological philosophies in general and the Heideggerian ontology of Vlieghe and Zamojski in particular. Secondly, the essay suggests the existentialist concept of ‘the situation’ as a theoretical nodal point that can grasp the inherently quasi-political dimension of pedagogical work and hence provide common ground for the two positions discussed.
‘Post-Critiquiness’ as Nonviolent Thing-Centredness
Authors: Oliverio Stefano
Published: May 2021

After situating the proposal of a post-critical pedagogy (PCP) within the coordinates of the contemporary interdisciplinary debate on the ‘end of the critique’ and ‘post-critique,’ the paper focuses on a specific – but pivotal – facet of PCP, namely the appeal to a thing-centred pedagogy. This theme is addressed by approaching it through the lens of some ideas of Michel Serres as well as of Bruno Latour and Isabelle Stengers. Thing-centredness is construed as what contains violence and, thus, the focus is sharpened on the question of non-violence, which is arguably key to PCP and, indeed, to any genuinely educational endeavour.

Authors: Boursas Abdelhakim , Salmi Mohamed , Lorenzini Giulio , Ahmad Hijaz , Menni Younes , Fridja Djamal
Published: May 2021

The subject of the study is mainly based on thermal reinforcement by an oily fluid containing nanometer particles of carbon. The study is carried out by the presence of discontinuous bars in two different shapes, i.e. flat and V, inside a horizontal heat exchanger. The study relies on simulations in thermal and dynamic terms from the literature. The turbulence effect is diagnosed by applying the k-ε model, while the flow hydrothermal transport relationships are modeled based on the finite volume technique. Both the flow and heat-transfer aspects of all channel regions are studied and analyzed. The new heat-exchanger structure has been enhanced in the presence of these discontinuous bars by reducing the friction coefficient and eliminating stations with poor transfer of heat behind these deflectors.
Application of Conductive Polymer-Based Hydrogel in Multi-robot Balance Control
Authors: Qiao Tianbo
Published: May 2021

At present, the flexible electronic materials with both good flexibility and conductivity have become a major development trend of electronic materials in the future. Due to their flexibility in construction, controllable mechanical properties and electrical conductivity, the conductive polymer-based hydrogels (CPHs) are expected to become one of the candidate materials in flexible electronics and other fields, and have received extensive attention from researchers. However, the existing CPH systems generally have shortcomings such as low mechanical strength and single function. To this end, the authors attempt to construct a hydrogel using polyaniline (PANI) as the conductive component and polyacrylic acid (PAA) as the flexible component through in-situ polymerization and physical blending. The designed PAA/PANI conductive polymer-based hydrogel enjoys ultra-long stretchability and high strength. It can be used in the flexible strain sensors and pressure sensors to detect the step cycle of the multi-legged robot in real time, and adjust their rhythm during the walking gait, thereby achieving the physical balance. This paper provides a new idea for the application of the CPHs, and especially offers a wealth of theoretical foundation and practical experience for the research on its application to the flexible strain sensors.

Published: May 2021

Magnesium diboride (MgB2) is a highly potential superconducting material, in substitution of Nb3Sn, which has a critical temperature of ~ 39 K. This synthesis and manufacturing of MgB2 wire were conducted by in-situ powder in tube (PIT). The method doped with silicon carbide (SiC) was aimed to study the effect of phase formation on carbon substitution and morphological characteristics with the motivation to improve superconductivity properties. Magnesium, boron, and SiC powders were synthesized and functionally processed with stainless Steel 304 tube. Heat treatment was conducted at 750℃, 800℃, and 850℃ for 2 hours followed by furnace cooling. Characterization was carried out by x-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and cryogenic magnet testing. The results showed that 1% SiC optimally increased the zero critical temperature of MgB2 ~ 37.18 K along with the sintering at 750℃ for 2 hours.

Alcance de la responsabilidad limitada de los socios cooperativistas. Pluralidad de regulaciones
Authors: Epelde Juaristi Miren
Published: May 2021

En los tiempos que corren se pone el foco sobre la economía social, entre otras cosas, como vía de salida de la crisis de las empresas. Se prevé que el sistema organizativo de las empresas integradas en este sector pueda contribuir a reestructurar y replantear el rumbo de las sociedades. A tal fin, los poderes públicos, incluidas las instituciones de la Unión Europea, dedican grandes esfuerzos al fomento de la economía social. Sin embargo, la pluralidad normativa no ayuda a tener una visión global de la misma. En el caso de las Cooperativas, cada Estado y dentro de cada uno, como en el caso español, cada Comunidad Autónoma cuenta con su propia legislación, no siempre acorde o perfectamente alineada con las demás. En este trabajo se realiza un estudio comparativo de las diferentes normativas autonómicas, en concreto sobre el alcance de la responsabilidad limitada de los socios cooperativistas.

Community involvement in tourism: exploring the place image guided by the locals
Authors: Pascoli Monica
Published: May 2021

This paper is intended as a contribution to the debate on tourism sustainability and the need to involve local communities in planning practices, key to sustainable tourism. The community-based approach has been widely theorized and used in projects of sustainable tourism development, because it tends to maximize the participation of local population from the earliest stages of development and affect tourism policies, while also responding to the changing needs of contemporary tourists, especially in terms of development of niche and special-interest tourism. The only exception is in the construction of the tourist imaginary: the involvement of the community in this fundamental sphere has always been scarce, with the result that often there is a strong imbalance – even dissonance – between the image promoted through the marketing, that continuously re-shaped by the locals and that experienced by the tourists. This contribution will explore the creation of tourism imaginary as negotiated activity.

La cuestión del método en el pragmatismo contemporáneo
Authors: Martínez Romagosa Pedro
Published: May 2021

La discusión acerca de la cuestión del método marca uno de los principales puntos de desacuerdo entre las dos posiciones en disputa en el pragmatismo contemporáneo: el neopragmatismo lingüístico y el pragmatismo de cuño clásico centrado en la experiencia. Aunque no se puede desentender completamente del contexto del debate mencionado en que la falta de comprensión mutua entre las partes bloquea una conversación productiva, considero que la discusión acerca de la cuestión del método puede examinarse por separado. Para ello, en la primera sección, presentaré la propuesta de John Dewey que comprende “la experiencia como método” y evaluaré a continuación el argumento de Richard Rorty a favor de un “pragmatismo sin método”. Defenderé que la perspectiva pragmatista “experimental” de la investigación puede responder exitosamente a la crítica rortyana. En la segunda sección, ofrezco una exposición de la propuesta metodológica pragmatista en línea con la perspectiva de Dewey, aunque sugiero resulta compatible también con el neopragmatismo rortyano, y defiendo que ella se comprende mejor como una propuesta metafilosófica acerca de cómo llevar adelante y cuál debe ser la tarea de la investigación filosófica.
Ingeniería conceptual e innovación teórica: esbozo de un modelo
Authors: Muñoz-Suárez Carlos
Published: May 2021

Todas las áreas del conocimiento se cimientan de diversas formas en una multiplicidad de productos derivados de la ingeniería conceptual. Este artículo tiene un espíritu programático: busca introducir un modelo del funcionamiento de la ingeniería conceptual y, en particular, de cómo ocurre la innovación conceptual en contextos de indagación teórica. En la primera sección, se describe el vecindario dialéctico en que nació el estudio explícito de la relevancia, el alcance, los mecanismos y los objetivos propios de la ingeniería conceptual. En la segunda sección, se introduce una distinción entre ingeniería conceptual evaluativa e ingeniería conceptual instrumental a partir de la distinción entre uso conceptual comprometido y uso conceptual instrumental. A partir de esto, se muestra que los casos descritos de ingeniería conceptual evaluativa y de ingeniería conceptual instrumental pueden ser formalmente entendidos como derivados de una misma función, que, dado un problema conceptual, mapea soluciones conceptuales posibles para generar valores de éxito o de fracaso. En la siguiente sección, se introduce un tercer tipo de ingeniería conceptual: la ingeniería conceptual constructiva, cuyo núcleo es una función (de innovación conceptual) que mapea soluciones dentro de un espacio representacional de alternativas no consideradas y genera nuevo contenido conceptual. El modelo introducido abre un campo fructífero y novedoso de investigación acerca de las condiciones y de los factores que dan lugar a la innovación teórica mediante la ingeniería conceptual.
COVID-19 & Management: Business Nightmare or a Unique Opportunity for Success?
Authors: Malibašić Ivan
Published: May 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic turned the world upside down overnight. Everyday change is the new normality. This presentation aims to consider changes in managing organizations as consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The critical question for modern managers is whether the current COVID-19 pandemic is a business nightmare or a unique opportunity for success? We should also consider some other specific questions: (1) What can we do to reorganize our office? (2) Should we, and if yes – in what way, change communication with our team members? (3) How to achieve work-life balance now, given that we have not managed to do that before? (4) Is there still a chance for those who have not digitally transformed so far? (5) How does the new normality changing organizational culture? (6) How to manage organizational values to support the new business normality while being authentic simultaneously? (7) Are the troubles caused by the pandemic an opportunity to become more aware of why we are doing what we do and then focus on it and thus have more purpose-driven organizations in our environment? Answering these and some other questions, we will take a peek into the future of management.
Digital Transformation: Opportunities & Challenges
Authors: Sobolieva Tetiana , Holionko Nataliia
Published: May 2021

The globalized world predetermines the digital development path of countries. Maintaining and strengthening the competitive advantages of national economies depend to a large extent on opportunities for digitalization-based transformation. A significant number of leading world studies explain the priorities, benefits and risks of the digital evolution of countries, the peculiarities of the formation and development of digital business in various fields. It is also important to determine the success factors of digital transformation processes. Successful examples of digitalization of the world's economies are based on strengthening the institutional environment, encouraging investment in digital enterprises, funding digital research and development, training IT professionals and using digital applications to create jobs, implementing measures to eliminate gender, ethnic and geographical inequalities in access to digital tools. Leading scientists and consultants have studied that the digitalization of the economy is mainly formed through the successful experience of digital transformations of companies. It depends on the ability of organizations to overcome the challenges of adapting business models to digital realities, digital upgrading of business processes and company culture, as well as further digital development of organizations in a competitive environment.

Progress Towards Industry 4.0 – a Management Tools Perspective
Authors: Nedelko Zlatko , Potočan Vojko
Published: May 2021

The main aim of this draft paper is to discuss the progress towards Industry 4.0 in organizations, through the lenses of management tools utilization. Our discussion is based on the cognitions that management tools support organizational working under Industry 4.0 circumstances. According to the management tools utilization we argue about the level of Industry 4.0 implementation in organizations. Based on the current level of management tools utilization, it is evident that in the forefront are management tools, which are not tightly associated with supporting organizational working under Industry 4.0 circumstances, like outsourcing, benchmarking, knowledge management, etc, while commonly emphasized management tools for supporting organizational working under Industry 4.0 circumstances, are not in the forefront of use, like lean production, RFID, six-sigma, etc. Results allow us to argue that organizations are at the early stages of Industry 4.0 implementation in organizations. The paper offers some possible reasons for such state. This paper should also trigger questions, how to increase the level of Industry 4.0 implementation in organizations.

Through legal regulations, states take specific actions that have measurable consequences - also for business. There is an interesting problem of the validity and effectiveness of a law that we can call "epidemic law". Thus, the title question arises, to which I will answer in the text - is it possible to ignore unfair law?
Human Development Equalization Issues Within the European Union
Authors: Tóth Zsuzsanna
Published: May 2021

The establishment and enlargement of the European Union have been partly motivated by catching up on higher living standards of living. This study examines whether developmental convergence can be demonstrated among the NUTS 2 regions of the Union. The existence of convergence among the EU is generally approached from an economic perspective by using macroeconomic indicators. Although these metrics are suitable for comparing the performance of Member States, they are less reflective of each country's social well-being. Several analyses, usually based on mortality indicators, have been conducted in an attempt to characterize convergence from a social point of view. However, these calculations are usually limited to country-level convergence analyses with diseases and causes of death in their focus. Thus, this study applies a complex measure, the Human Development Index (HDI), to examine convergence at a regional level. For this purpose, the regional HDI is calculated and the existence of absolute and conditional beta convergence is assessed. Our calculations confirm convergence among EU regions over the period between 2006 and 2017, but the analysis also reveals divergent trends and various national characteristics that will call into question the long-term sustainability of equalization.
Towards a Sustainable Reset in the EU. What Comes After the Lisbon Strategy, EUROPE 2020 and ... COVID-19?
Authors: Szemlér Tamás
Published: May 2021

The aim of the paper is to present and compare the three major European Union (EU) strategies/instruments designed to promote the dynamic economic development of the EU. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the EU has clearly demonstrated its ambitions related to economic growth, competitiveness and sustainability. Despite the progressive ideas reflected in the Lisbon Strategy, its limitations have logically resulted in only partial success. The 2008 world economic crisis has led to important changes, reflected in the Europe 2020 Strategy, but – despite certain progress – no spectacular success was seen. 2020 will not be remembered as the closing year of the Europe 2020 Strategy, but as the (first) year of the world-wide shock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The changes caused by this shock can be seen in EU actions, as well: the Next Generation EU instrument is an innovation that could not have been imagined without such a shock. The paper discusses the potential ways of changes of the EU’s approach to the objectives of economic growth, competitiveness and sustainability as a result of the COVID-19 shock.
Creating Public Value by Simplifying Processes? A Path in an Unexplored Territory
Authors: Modugno Guido , de Rosa Bruno , Bertoni Michele
Published: May 2021

The paper considers the effects of administrative processes on the creation of public value. Administrative activities absorb a relevant part of public institutions’ resources. We analyze the accounting routines and procedures of some Italian public institutions: it emerges that recent reforms boosted complexity by requiring public organizations to generate a growing volume of accounting data. Moreover, controls made by external authorities have intensified. According to the literature, complexity generates costs: we show that in the public sector this negative consequence does not only affect the institutions themselves, but it also extends to the stakeholders. The paper is based on case studies that the authors could personally observe. In the conclusions, we analyze the main factors that contribute to generate complexity and their effects on the creation of public value. The stakeholder theory is adopted as theoretical background, considered that public value refers to all the subjects that are affected by the administrative action.

Over the last decade researchers paid considerable attention to the conditions needed for innovation emergence and implementation. However, the issue concerning the influence of employee relationships in a workplace on the organizational innovativeness has received little attention in research. On the ground of the studies carried out in Polish companies we are trying to narrow the gap in the field. The correlation and regression analysis of the research participant opinions showed that positive relationships at work stimulate employees, regardless of their position and job description, not only to come up with innovative ideas but also to develop the innovations proposed by others. So the executives managing organizations should focus on all kinds of factors creating positive relationships at work. We assume that the results presented in the paper may be regarded as a contribution to both the Positive Organizational Scholarship umbrella concept and to the Research stream concerning the conditions for being successful at innovation creation and implementation

The domestic water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) are classified into the swamp and riverine. However, their hybrids are also found in some parts of Assam (Brahmaputra Valley) in North-east India. Swamp buffaloes have a typical phenotypic appearance, like the shape of horns, small size, and body-color, etc. This study characterizes the indigenous ‘Bhangor’ buffalo population from the Tripura state using cytogenetic analyses. The blood of buffaloes samples were collected across the state, phenotypically identified as swamp buffaloes were cultured, terminated, and harvested using conventional karyotype protocol to determine the number of chromosomes. We have characterized ‘Bhangor’ an indigenous buffalo population from Tripura state using karyotypic analysis for the first time to confirm that all animals phenotypically identified as swamp buffaloes with 2N=48 chromosomes.
Retrospective Analysis of a Nationwide Telelactation Program
Authors: Majors Lauren , Unangst Mary
Published: May 2021

Background

Telelactation is a modality for delivering remote clinical lactation care using telecommunications technology. Sonder Health, in partnership with Amwell, began offering synchronous video telelactation services to health plans and employer groups in 2016.

Methods

We completed a retrospective data analysis on a randomized selection of 1,087 telelactation visits covered by a health plan or employee-sponsored health plan conducted between 2016–2019. Our aim is to describe a telelactation model and review selected visits for technical modalities utilized, clinical workflow, top self-reported chief conditions, patient satisfaction, visit duration, acuity levels, alternative care options, peak visit time, visits conducted during or after business hours, and days visits took place, and discuss the potential for telelactation to bridge the gaps in timely access to IBCLC-level breastfeeding support.

Results

Using a 5-star rating system, 95% of patients gave a 5-star rating; 52% of visits occurred outside normal business hours. Top three conditions identified: latching (31%), supply (24%), and nipple/breast pain (15%). Without access to the service, 59% reported they would have accessed an urgent care, emergency department, retail health clinic, or other office appointment; 41% reported they would have sought care “nowhere.”

Conclusions

This telelactation program provided access to skilled, comprehensive clinical lactation care and documents a strong use case for telelactation services.

Methods: Scheduled within the orientation week curriculum, this project had a purposeful convenience sample of 14 students comprising the entire intern class. An afternoon of 1:1 clinical skills with nursing guidance followed a morning of didactic lecture on medical knowledge and skills transfer. Students completed a pre/postmedical education test (MET) to evaluate knowledge and skills acquired. Results: Interns reported increased confidence with clinical competencies to both nurse educators and the chief resident. Outcome questionnaires revealed statistically significant increases in knowledge about clinical skills after the intervention. Interns witnessed interprofessional teamwork. Conclusion: Nurse educators teaching medical interns facilitates interprofessional team collaboration, communication, and mutual respect. This simulation pedagogy focusing on principles of deliberate practice can have a positive impact on academic and clinical performance.
