An algorithm for the numerical solution of the Fredholm equation of the second kind with a continuous kernel by the method of integral replacement and the matrix solution of SLAE with a quadrature formula of the twelfth order of error with a number of integration intervals divisible by ten is proposed. The new formula, compared to Simpson's formula, gives 15 significant digits for the nodal values of the solution function, even with a small number of intervals of 10.20 on a segment in a finite number of elementary operations. The resulting algorithm has double precision and minimal computation time. While Simpson's formula,together with the matrix method for solving SLAE, gives only 6 significant digits with twenty integration intervals. Moreover, double precision is not available for Simpson's formula (15 zeros in the infinite norm of the solution residual), since the FORTRAN language allows maximum matrix arrays of 200×200. Estimates are obtained for the upper bound of the admissible parameter |λ| for the matrix of the Fredholm equation with strict diagonal dominance or with a small norm of the integral kernel.
CAPTATIO BENEVOLENTIAE IN LATE ANTIQUE EPISTOLOGAPHY AS A MEANS OF PRESERVING COMMUNICATION OF THE INTELLECTUAL ELITE
Authors:   Belgorod National Research University, Litovchenko E. V.
Published: December 2022

The article analyzes the epistolary collections of Late Antique authors of the IV−VI centuries: Ausonius, Sidonius Apollinaris, Ruricius of Limoges and others. These representatives of the Late Antique intellectual elite got a brilliant education, and were engaged in literary activities. The epistolary genre was popular among the highest aristocracy not only as a means of communication at a distance, but also as a field for manifesting its education and literary talent. Epistolary contacts connected various regions of the Mediterranean world into a unified network, the members of which supported their Roman identity (“Romanitas”) using a set of rhetorical rules and techniques. The purpose of this study is to reveal the literary trope “captatio benevolentiae” expressing the writers’ desire to belittle their merits. This rhetorical technique was used to win favor with the audience due to the authors’ modesty and to motivate the addressee to continue the epistolary dialogue. Lowering the level of their talent and education, as well as the quality of the texts, the authors of the letters forced the interlocutors to refute unfair self-assessment, thereby, maintaining epistolary communication and social ties, as well as forming a closed, elite community of like-minded people distinguished by a refined culture and high level of education and, thus, differentiating themselves from the masses of common people and barbarians.
DIGITAL FRONT: WORLD WAR I IN COMPUTER GAMES

The article presents a brief overview of contemporary discussions on the transformation of historical memory in digital culture, and above all in video games. The representation of the heroic and tragic narratives in games, most often related to World War II and World War I, respectively, differs significantly. The former uses a realistic strategy of representation and emphasizes visual detailing, linear plot construction, and the synchronization of in-game, fictional, and historical time. Authenticity is perceived here through the realism of details. The tragic narrative uses a deconstructivist strategy of representation, characterized by animated or impressionistic graphics and by positioning war itself as the main enemy, not national armies or individual soldiers. Thus, authenticity is understood through a reference to the existential nature of the war experience. The realistic strategy prevails in contemporary popular culture, but the heroic narrative is increasingly intertwined with the tragic. As a result, the balance between the desire to normalize the war and its problematization shifts significantly in the space of culture. The article analyzes Western historiography by examining the games “Verdun 1914–1918”, “The Trenches", "Brave Hearts” and others. The authors conclude that the influence of digital culture and video games on the perceptions of the past cannot be reduced exclusively to consumerism or the popularization of academic knowledge. It implies an active transformation of the very ways of interacting with the past, a change in established genre norms, an increase in interactivity, democratization, and aestheticization. These trends are inextricably linked with broader transformations of the modes of historicity in public consciousness at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries.
THE USE OF MEMETICS IN THE CLASSICAL RECEPTION STUDIES IN AMERICAN PRESS AT THE TURN OF THE 19THAND 20TH CENTURIES
Authors:   Doctoral School of History, National Research University “Higher School of Economics”, Kondrashuk R. A.
Published: December 2022

Antiquity, which once inspired the Founding Fathers and later became an important reference point for many subsequent generations of American politicians, has lost its former significance. Many researchers traditionally associate this process with the industrialization at the turn of the 19th and 20th century, when society placed more emphasis on practical knowledge and skills. It would be logical to anticipate a gradual decrease in the number of references to Ancient Greek and Roman history featured in the publications of the emerging mass press focused on the needs of a wide audience and consisting of short and catchy notes. However, there was an upsurge of interest in antiquity in American newspapers. Unfortunately, researchers of classical reception usually pay little attention to periodicals. Using the memetic approach, the article attempts to resolve this contradiction. In addition, the survey analyzes which particular classical subjects were interesting to the readers of mass press, and considers possible options for interpreting and rethinking some ancient history’s images. Through a range of public issues, as well as events and characters of ancient history, the article examines two subjects in detail: the fall of Rome and Cornelia, mother of the Gracchi.
SEA GATE OF THE “SPANISH LAKE”: THE FIRST EXPEDITION OF DE GAMBOA TO THE STRAIT OF MAGELLAN
Authors:   The Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Mikheev D. V.
Published: December 2022

The article analyzes the preparation and the course of the First expedition to the Strait of Magellan by Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa, one of the most prominent Spanish navigators, scientists and humanists of the 16th century. The interest of the Spanish discoverers in the Strait arouse immediately after Magellan's circumnavigation, but for more than half a century this area remained a frontier zone of Spanish possessions in the south of the American continent. The Drake's raid revived Spanish projects to explore and colonize the Strait. From a remote, undeveloped frontier area, the Strait turned into one of the main sea gates to the “Spanish Lake”, as the Spaniards themselves called the Pacific Ocean. The idea to prepare an expedition belonged to the Viceroy of Peru, Don Francisco de Toledo. He prepared the instructions and chose de Gamboa from among his subordinates as the general of the expedition. All the instructions of the expedition demonstrate the precise elaboration of all the details of the military and scientific research work necessary for the future colonization of the region. Despite the difficulties of the journey, the first expedition to the Strait can be considered de Gamboa's most successful venture. Following the main orders of the instructions, de Gamboa was able to complete the main tasks of the expedition. The paths to the strait were mapped, its Pacific and Atlantic estuaries were explored, its natural and geographical features were determined, contacts were established with the indigenous population, and the place of the future settlement was outlined. However, noticeable exaggerations in the descriptions of the region's natural resources, the mild climate and its dense population will contribute to the failure of the second larger expedition to the Strait.
“ASSISTANCE IS HERE AND PROTECTION IS THERE”: SOVIET COMMISSIONS FOR SCIENTISTS AS A SHOWCASE IN THE 1920-1930s
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Dolgova E. A.
Published: December 2022

The article describes the history of the unique Soviet government institutions aimed at improving the welfare of scientists in the 1920s–1930s: the Central Commission for the Improvement of the Life of Scientists and the Commission for Assistance to Scientists. There were no analogues of these institutions abroad, except for the German organization “Notgemeinschaft der deutschen Wissenschaft”. Thus, the Soviet commissions occupied a unique niche; their work was widely covered in foreign periodicals, through the All-Union Society for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries and local diplomatic institutions. On the other hand, the activities of the commissions caused ambiguous assessments due to the ideological and politicized nature, the narrowness of the beneficiary circle, an uneven distribution of privileges, and, finally, the instability of approaches to supporting scientists – from ensuring their economic and living conditions to detailed regulation of scientific work and its planning. Based on unpublished documents from the State Archives of the Russian Federation, the author characterizes the evolution of the “foreign” component of the commissions’ activities, their vatious tasks from popularizing the achievements of Soviet science abroad to attracting foreign specialists to the USSR during the years of industrialization. The author concludes that the work of the commissions corresponded to the tasks set for Soviet science at different stages of its transformation, changed along with them. Therefore, the study of this problem can contribute to a more accurate understanding of the deep processes of the development of Soviet science in the 1920s–1930s.
«IF IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO INCLUDE A SOIL SCIENTIST IN THE DELEGATION, PLEASE SEND A PHYSICIST OR A CHEMISTER»: SOVIET PROJECTS FOR TRANSFORMING NATURE AND THEIR PRESENTATION ABROAD
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Sobisevich A. V. ,   S. I. Vavilov Institute for the History of Science and Technology, Russian Academy ofSciences
Published: December 2022

The article deals with Soviet projects for the transformation of the natural environment and their presentation abroad. These projects were aimed at “conquering the elemental forces” of nature and introducing the lands located in the arid regions of the USSR into agricultural circulation. The most famous of these projects was the turn of the Siberian rivers, designed to solve the problem of lowering the Aral Sea level. The attempts of the Soviet authorities to transform the natural environment aroused great interest abroad, especially in the United States, where in the 1950s a similar project was being developed to turn the flow of northern rivers. Interest in these projects made them a showcase for Soviet scientific diplomacy. Only the project of turning the rivers of the north of the European part of the country came to practical implementation in the USSR, which was supposed to replenish the Volga water taken during the creation of the “Volga – Chogray” and “Volga – Don 2” canals. Initial interest in Soviet projects for the transformation of the natural environment abroad began to give way to anxiety. Soviet scientists and experts in the field of land reclamation themselves were divided into two camps – supporters and opponents of the turn of the rivers. The former motivated support for the project by saying that this is the only way to meet the needs of a planned economy. The latter called the project an ecological disaster, and over time their voices sounded louder. The impossibility of implementing the project of diversion of the rivers and presenting its advantages abroad led Soviet scientists to concentrate their attention on combating desertification and secondary salinization of soils. These developments were used abroad in the creation of irrigation systems in third world countries financed by the Soviet authorities.

Published: December 2022

Sosyal Bilgiler dersinde hatırat kullanımına ilişkin öğretmen görüşlerinin incelendiği bu çalışma, özel durum çalışması desenlerinden biri olan araçsal durum çalışması deseni çerçevesinde tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu gönüllü 40 Sosyal Bilgiler öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri, çevrim içi ortamda hazırlanan açık uçlu soruların yer aldığı bir form aracılığıyla, 2020-2021 eğitim ve öğretim yılında toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, NVivo 10 programında içerik analizine tabi tutularak çözümlenmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre öğretmenlerin hatırat kelimesini daha çok geçmişle ilişkilendirerek açıkladıkları ve genel itibariyla literatürle uyumlu açıklamalarda bulunabildikleri görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte, öğretmenlerin öğrenilen bilgilerin kalıcılığını artırmak ve konuyu ilgi çekici kılmak amacıyla, Sosyal Bilgiler dersinde en çok tarihsel konuların öğretiminde hatırat kullandıkları tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca öğretmenlerin Sosyal Bilgiler öğretimi sürecinde hatıratın başta konu ve kazanıma uygunluk olmak üzere, birtakım kriterlerin dikkate alınarak kullanılması gerektiğine dair görüşlere sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir. Ancak öğretmenlerin, Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi Öğretim Programı’ndaki hatırat kullanılabilecek konular hakkında yeterince bilgi sahibi olmadıkları ve Sosyal Bilgiler dersinde hatırat kullanımında kendilerini mesleki açıdan tam anlamıyla yeterli bulmadıkları ortaya koyulmuştur. Diğer taraftan araştırmada, Sosyal Bilgiler dersinde hatırat kullanımında öğretmen, öğrenci, ders kitabı ve programdan kaynaklanan bazı sorunların yaşandığı belirlenmiştir. Son olarak araştırmada öğretmenlerin, Sosyal Bilgiler dersinde hatırat kullanımının eğitsel değerine ilişkin kısmi farkındalığa sahip oldukları ve hatıratın Sosyal Bilgiler dersinde etkili kullanımı konusunda mesleki eğitime ihtiyaç duydukları sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Authors: FIRAT Selçuk , GÜRBÜZ Ramazan
Published: December 2022

In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the probability teaching-learning process based on the views of mathematics teachers. In the research case study which is one of the qualitative research methods was used. The participants of the study consisted of eight middle and eight high school mathematics teachers and 66 students of these teachers were determined by purposive sampling. The data of the research were collected in three stages by using semi-structured interview forms and probability problems. The data obtained from the study were analyzed by open coding and axial coding methods. According to the results obtained from the first and second stages of the research, most of the teachers stated that the time allocated for the probability teaching is not enough to perform conceptual learning. High school teachers also point out that different outcomes at different levels are causing problems in the teaching of probability. While middle school teachers stressed the need to begin at an earlier age to probability teaching, high school teachers often said that they had to start with the high school level. Teachers stated that they used routine question types in the probability teaching process. In line with their views, it was determined that they reached correct solutions more than non-routine ones. Moreover, teachers made more realistic predictions about their students’ solutions to routine problems than non-routine problems.
Практики инклюзивного театра в России: анализ смыслов для участников и потенциала для социальных изменений
Authors: Полухина Елизавета , Дерезовская Варвара
Published: December 2022

Театр с участием людей с инвалидностью – инклюзивный театр – нацелен на их социальную интеграцию. В исследовании мы сфокусировались на изучении практик инклюзивного театра с целью анализа их потенциала для социальных изменений и значения этих изменений для актеров и организаторов. Для измерения потенциала социальных изменений или инклюзивного потенциала на основе анализа литературы мы выделили маркеры инклюзии, включающие в себя такие понятия как чувство равенства возможностей, уровень включенности людей с инвалидностью в разные социальные среды, чувство принятия и видимости группы в публичном поле, чувство поддержки в коллективе, изменение идентичности / частичная ее нормализация за счет роста возможностей и социального капитала. Все маркеры распределены на три группы, каждая группа соответствовала уровню изменений, от личного до изменений в обществе в целом. Для изучения практик мы провели 18 интервью с участниками и работниками российских инклюзивных российских театров. В ходе анализа интервью мы регистрировали наличие или отсутствие выделенных маркеров инклюзии (дедуктивно), а также на основании рассказов о практиках реконструировали смыслы, которыми их наделяют участники (индуктивно). Мы сравнили практики в разных типах театров. Для этого выделено три типа инклюзивных театров, реализуемых в России: профессиональный, где наравне с людьми с инвалидностью участвуют профессиональные актеры; партисипативный, где под руководством театрального специалиста принимают участие только люди с инвалидностью; и реабилитационный, где задействованы только люди с инвалидностью с целью дальнейшего восстановления. Данные интервью показывают, что профессиональный инклюзивный театр имеет наибольший инклюзивный потенциал, так как благодаря своим практикам (участие профессиональных актеров наравне с людьми c инвалидностью, регулярные репетиции и публичные выступления с участием СМИ) развивается чувство «включенности / инклюзии» на всех трех социальных уровнях – макро, мезо и микро.
INDO-SPRITT: DEVELOPMENT AND NORMS OF AN INDONESIAN SPEECH RECOGNITION THRESHOLD TEST FOR CHILDREN
Authors: Sartika Dahlia Sartika , Newall Philip , Dillon Harvey
Published: December 2022

Introduction

Well-designed audiometric speech tests for Indonesian children are not currently available. This paper describes the development of the Indonesian Speech Recognition Threshold Test (INDO-SPRITT).

Material and methods

A list of Indonesian words with response foils and pictures was developed. Presentation level was varied and the 50% recognition threshold was calculated as the average of the midpoints of each reversal. A normative reference was established using a sample
of 118 normal hearing participants,16 children with severe to profound hearing loss, and 25 adults. The effects of age on speech reception thresholds and test reliability were also assessed.

Results

INDO-SPRITT material was found to be appropriate for children older than 4 years and 6 months. The speech reception threshold (SRT) improved on average from 18 dB HL for 4 to 5 year old children to 13 dB for children aged 10 to 13 years, providing a normative
reference against which the SRT of children with unknown hearing status can be compared. Five reversals are enough to estimate the SRT.

Conclusions

Suitable words, phonemic balance, and pictures have been created for Indonesian children. The reliability of different lengths of the test was similar, with 5 reversals being enough to estimate the SRT. The mean SRT decreased with age, but did not vary with the number of reversals.

Authors: MERAL Meryem , ALTUN YALÇIN Sema
Published: December 2022

This study was carried out to investigate middle school students’ entrepreneurial skills in terms of E-STEM education. The universe of the study comprised of middle school students in a rural area. The sample of the study, in which single group pre-and post-test design was used, consisted of 20 eighth-grade students. The mixed method was preferred. The entrepreneurship scale was used to obtain quantitative data. Semi-structured interview form was used to obtain qualitative data. E-STEM education was given to the students for 8 weeks. Pre-and post-test means of quantitative data were compared by paired-sample t test and content analysis method was used to analyze qualitative data. As a result, the scores of students’ entrepreneurial skills and sub-dimensions of entrepreneurship increased in favor of the post-test, although the overall increase was not significant. In addition, according to qualitative data, it was observed that E-STEM activities had a positive effect on the sub-dimensions.
From Exclusion to Co-Optation: Political Opportunity Structures and Civil Society Responses in De-Democratising Hungary
Authors: Gerő Márton , Fejős Anna , Kerényi Szabina , Szikra Dorottya
Published: December 2022

While it is well-known that democratic backsliding imposes a variety of challenges on civil society organisations, it is often assumed that it represses civil society. However, a closer look at the impact of democratic backsliding on civil society organisations reveals that even in countries where democratic backsliding is fairly advanced, the relationship between civil society and the state is more complex. Close cooperation and partnership between civil society organisations and the state are scarce in backsliding countries; the relationship between civil society organisations and the state might, however, range from hostility to varying forms and degrees of co-optation. Based on interviews with representatives of civil society organisations and the examination of the sector-specific social and political environment, we aim to explore the forms and factors that shape the relationship between civil society organisations and the state in Hungary. More specifically, we analyse the impact of the changing political opportunity structures on three important sectors of civil society organisations: human rights organisations, environmental organisations, and women’s organisations. We argue that, to seize control over civil society the government applies sector-specific strategies, ranging from exclusion to co-optation. State strategies, in turn, spark different responses from civil society organisations.
Making Thessaloniki Resilient? The Enclosing Process of the Urban Green Commons
Authors: Karagianni Maria
Published: December 2022

In the global hegemonic resilience discourse, green infrastructure is projected as a “win-win” approach to urban planning. Following the trend of adopting resilience as the new silver bullet for urban development, and in the midst of the recent financial crisis, Thessaloniki, Greece, joined the 100 Resilient Cities network of the Rockefeller Foundation in 2014. This event marked a shift in the city’s public space production and governance programme, introducing new private actors in decision-making processes, an emphasis on green space economic benefits, and an extensive regeneration programme heavily focused on the city centre. The article scrutinises these changes to uncover the policy implications of the turn to resilience in green public space production. Based on data on green public space spatial distribution; semi-structured interviews with municipal representatives and senior employees and representatives of the government, civil society, and local professional associations; policy document analysis; and comparative analysis of all relevant development and planning documents, and drawing on Brenner and Theodore’s (2005) conceptualisation of neoliberalism, the article argues that greening policies in Thessaloniki form an ongoing enclosing process of the urban green commons that articulates in a threefold manner: their discursive construction as “natural assets,” the implementation of spatially selective policies, and the post-politicisation of decision-making processes.
Performance of different membership functions in stress classification with fuzzy logic
Authors: BÜLBÜL Mehmet Akif
Published: December 2022

Stress has become an indispensable part of today's world. Stress can have a very serious negative impact on human health. Knowing the intensity of stress on people is important in order to cope with it. In this study, 4 different Fuzzy Logic (FL) structures were used to classify human stress through sleep. In the established structures, the human stress detection data set in sleep and through sleep obtained from Kaggle was used. In the FL structures created, blood oxygen level and respiratory rate were taken as input and stress classification was made accordingly. Their performance in the classification of sleep stress was evaluated by using different membership functions in 4 different structures. As a result of experimental studies, the F model established with the generalized bell showed more successful results than the models established with other membership functions.

Bu araştırmada, Türkiye’de yapılan öğretimsel müdahalelerin matematik kaygısını azaltmadaki etkililiğinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda öğretimsel müdahalelerin matematik kaygısı üzerindeki etkisini inceleyen deneysel çalışmalar meta-analiz yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Araştırmada belirlenen anahtar kelimelerle veri tabanlarında tarama yapılarak listelenenler arasından dâhil edilme ölçütlerine uyan 37 çalışma incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmalardan 43 karşılaştırma elde edilmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software (CMA) istatistiksel programı aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada etki büyüklükleri rastgele etkiler modeline göre hesaplanmıştır. Araştırmada etki büyüklüğü katsayısı olarak Hedge’s g kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre Türkiye’de yapılan öğretimsel müdahalelerin matematik kaygısı üzerindeki genel etki büyüklüğü g=-0.577 olarak bulunmuştur. Bu bulgu matematik kaygısının azaltılmasında Türkiye’de yapılan öğretimsel müdahalelerin orta düzeyde etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca matematik kaygısının azaltılmasında ilköğretim ikinci kademeye dönük çalışmaların etkililik düzeyinin diğer kademelere göre daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Bunun yanı sıra matematik kaygısının azaltılmasında yüksek, çok yüksek ve muazzam etkiye sahip olan çalışmalar öğretimsel müdahale açısından incelendiğinde bu çalışmalarda dijital teknoloji (f:5) ve ARCS motivasyon modeli (f:2) kullanımının ortak olduğu dikkati çekmiştir. Matematik kaygısının azaltılması için öğretimde öğrencilerin ilgisini, merakını, isteğini uyandıran, dikkati çeken, aktif katılımı sağlayan öğrencilerin keyif alacağı ve heyecan duyacağı strateji, yöntem, tekniklerin kullanılması önerilmektedir. Bu noktada çağdaş öğretim yaklaşımlarının, farklı duyu organlarına hitap eden fiziksel ve dijital materyallerin matematik kaygısını azaltmada kullanılması önerilebilir.

The paper provides a physical justification for the wettability conditions for a crystalline surface of a limited area by a small-volume catalytic liquid at the end of a growing nanowires (NW) characterized by a contact angle β, which contributes to a fundamental understanding of the nature of the contact angle of catalyst drops at the top of the NW. It is shown that under the conditions of stationary growth of NWs with a transverse singular face, there are only values of the angles β and γ (the angle of inclination of the side surface of the crystal to this face), which correspond to the minimum increment of the free energy of the three-phase system αLVcosβ + αSL = αSVcosγ and determine the stability of the catalyst drop at the top of the NW. With the growth of cylindrical NWs, the conditions of indifferent equilibrium are realized at the drop wetting perimeter. A drop, due to the dissolution of a crystallizing substance or its separation from a liquid solution, can take an equilibrium shape with a contact angle β that does not satisfy the equilibrium contact angle condition θ in the Young equation. A concentric break (rib) at the NW tip should increase the observed wetting angle θ and lead to contact angle hysteresis. The restrictions imposed on the value of the contact angle of a stable catalyst drop at the top of the NW are determined. The catalyst drop will take an equilibrium shape if the hysteresis angle β is in the range θ < β ≤ θ' + γ (θ' is the wetting angle of the NW side walls). For the growth of semiconductor NWs in the form of a straight cylinder, γ = 90° and therefore always β > 90°. It is shown that the direction of displacement of the three-phase line relative to the droplet surface is determined by the growth angle φ0: for the nonwetting growth mode of NWs (with a transverse face) φ0 = β – γ; for the wetting growth mode (with the end surface curved near the three-phase line)

We propose an innovative method for assessing the integral level of metabolic activity of biological objects, based on the natural ability of living cells for generation metal nanoparticles from cations sources (artificially introduced into the samples), while in sterile samples or in the presence of inactive cells, the formation of nanoparticles does not occur. The method is called DBNG (detection of biogenic nanoparticles generation/growth). This article presents several examples of the use of the main analytical approaches applicable to obtain information about the parameters of biogenic nanocrystalline structures that formed in situ(directly in the tested samples), as well as options for the practical use of the proposed nanobiotechnological innovative approach DBNG to assess (estimate) the basic integral properties of living cells.

A comparative analysis of the performance of SL-SIC (Symbol Level - Serial Interference Cancellation) and CWL-SIC (Codeword Level-SIC) decoders of PD-NOMA (Power Doman - Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access) baseband signals in a system with two users is presented. Real signal code constructs (SCC) from the 3GPP LTE (Long Term Evolution of 3rd Generation Partnership Project) communication standard are used. The performance of CWL-SIC achievable in practice in real systems for all possible designs of a group PD-NOMA signal consisting of different pair combinations of noise-immune SCCs has been obtained. With the help of mathematical modeling, weighting power coefficients are obtained that provide the maximum average performance of the group signal for two user channels. The high efficiency of the CWL-SIC and the expediency of its use in real systems, especially in conditions of low signal-to-noise ratio, are shown.

The possibility of generating strong and ultrastrong magnetic fields in condensed ionized media in the presence of unidirectional motion of an ensemble of free electrons with a density > 1021 e/cm3 is demonstrated. It is shown that atomic and nuclear matter in strong and ultrastrong magnetic fields is transformed into a new state of matter - into transatom, in which atomic electrons and nuclear protons and neutrons are bound in pairs into orthobosons with a spin equal to unity S = 1ћ. Examples of radiationless, low-energy nuclear reactions of transatoms, including those without the Coulomb barrier between identical atomic nuclei, are presented. The mechanism of natural nucleosynthesis, based on the results of the low-energy nuclear reactions registered in various experiments in many laboratories of the world and on the creation of the theory of those reactions, at different stages of the development of the Universe, stars and planets is presented.

Published: December 2022

In 2021, a working group of the Moscow State University of Psychology and Education developed a technique for developing student’s initial representations to scientific concepts based on the material of mathematics and natural sciences in primary school. The technique was refined and concretized on the material of the course “Natural sciences”. The paper presents the materials of a study in which students of the 3rd year of the bachelor's degree program of the psychological and pedagogical direction of training (21 people, who were divided into two subgroups: experimental – 11 people, control – 10 people. The average academic performance score of each group of students is 4,7 on a five-point scale) and students of the 3rd grade of primary school of Moscow (51 people, who were also divided into two groups: experimental – 28 people, control – 23 people). The level of science literacy of primary school student’s was measured using three-level thematic tasks (author E.V. Chudinova). The results of the study showed that the application of technique for the development of primary school student’s initial natural science representations in the preparation of future teachers affects the educational results of schoolchildren. It is noted that students who designed lessons using the technique for developing student’s initial representations to scientific concepts on the material of natural sciences in primary school paid special attention not only to the correct answers of students, but also to erroneous judgments. This helped them in organizing the educational discussion. It is emphasized that an erroneous judgment can become a tool for the mental development of a primary school student’s.

The study is devoted to the problem of attributive technologies for the cognition of dangerous phenomena in the activities of police officers in transport The operationalization of technologies is implemented through the attributive style of activity as an invariant quality, which is based on the experience of employees, characterized by a shortage of decision-making time, the presence of situations of uncertainty, and a method of cognitive visualization of a complex of threatened phenomena. The study involved 231 police officers of the departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the Northwestern Federal District, the average age of the surveyed was 31 years. The results made it possible to empirically substantiate the main provisions of the concept, to prove the validity of the content of the “social-perceptual”, “cognitive”, “activity”, “motivational” styles, to present the advantages of the attributive style of employees’ activity. The obtained data are recommended to be taken into account by the management of line departments and personnel departments when carrying out complex work with employees.

Published: December 2022

The paper presents the results of a comparative analysis of the self-esteem of adolescents with persistent illegal and conditionally normative behavior surveyed in 1996, 2004 and 2020. The purpose of the analysis was to identify stable characteristics of the self-esteem of adolescents with illegal behavior, as well as characteristics of their self-esteem that are mediated by the cultural and historical context of personality formation. The materials of three empirical studies are presented. The studies involved 338 male adolescents aged 14-17, including 174 adolescents with persistent illegal behavior and 164 adolescents with conditionally normative behavior. Adolescents’ self-esteem was assessed by Manaster’s Self-esteem Scale (adapted in Russian by E. Sidorenko). The results were processed with variance analysis. The results show that adolescents with persistent illegal behavior are characterized by lower general, reflected and maximum self-esteems in comparison with peers with conditionally normative behavior, while prospective and ideal self-esteems do not significantly differ. At the same time, the self-esteems of adolescents with persistent illegal behavior demonstrated a more pronounced dependence on the socio-cultural context of personality formation than the self-esteems of their peers with conditionally normative behavior.

Published: December 2022

This paper presents the empirical study of coping with stress in car drivers after road traffic accident (N=64) age 20 to 48 years-old (37 males and 27 females). Methods: Lazarus coping — strategies scale with modified instruction for the road accident; hardiness survey, S. Maddi and author’s questionnaire. Results show that all drivers feel fear, anger and frustration in traffic accident. Leading coping strategies among female drivers were "seeking of social support” and “positive reappraisal”. At the same time female drivers were more vulnerable to the posttraumatic emotional reactions and were looking for professional help after accident more often. The lack of traffic accident experience was linked with “distancing” coping strategy and low level of control among female drivers. “Positive reappraisal” coping strategy helps female drivers to feel less fear after traffic accident. In our study male drivers used “confrontation” and “escape” strategies which were primary associated with considerable financial damage as a result of the accident, feeling of anger and less driving experience.
