Humanitarian dimension of cognition in cognitive pedagogy
Authors: Стукалова О.В. , Левина Е.Ю.
Published: May 2023

Несмотря на дескриптивный характер педагогики как гуманитарной науки в силу ее высокой практической применимости возникает необходимость в социо-гуманитарном сопровождении и измерении процесса достижения результатов обучения. Как измерить процесс обучения, воспитания и развития человека, знания и познание? Представленный в настоящем исследовании ракурс открывает серию публикаций авторов на тему педагогических измерений. В ходе развития когнитивной парадигмы образования авторы рассматривают идею гуманитарных измерений в корреляции с потенциалом квалиметрии, объединяющей методы количественной оценки качества различных объектов. Цель статьи: рассмотреть критерии гуманитарного измерения научного познания в русле идей человеко-, культуро-, социо- и природосообразности как метапринципов когнитивной педагогики. Базируясь на методологии когнитивной парадигмы образования и аксиологическом подходе, авторами раскрыты проблемы современного познания и показана необходимость осмысления непрерывной взаимосвязи ценностей научного познания и ценностей культуры с позиций человекосообразного образования. Представлены принципы организации познающей системы в рамках образования и раскрыты ключевые позиции системы гуманитарных измерений в концепции когнитивной педагогики.

Despite the descriptive nature of pedagogy as a humanities, due to its high practical applicability, there is a need for socio-humanitarian support and measurement of the process of achieving learning outcomes. How to measure the process of education, upbringing and human development, knowledge and cognition? The perspective presented in this study opens a series of publications by the authors on the pedagogical measurements topic. In the course of the education cognitive paradigm development, the authors consider the idea of humanitarian measurements in correlation with the potential of qualimetry, which combines methods for quantifying the quality of various objects. The purpose of the article: to consider the criteria for the humanitarian dimension of scientific knowledge in line with the ideas of human-, cultural-, socio- and nature-conformity as metaprinciples of cognitive pedagogy. Based on the methodology of the education cognitive paradigm and the axiological approach, the authors reveal the problems of modern knowledge and show the need to comprehend the continuous relationship between the values of scientific knowledge and the values of culture from the standpoint of human-like education. The principles of organizing the cognitive system within the framework of education are presented and the key positions of the humanitarian measurements system in the concept of cognitive pedagogy are revealed.

Показано взаимодействие различных профессиональных компетенций выпускников, а также различные педагогические подходы, применяющиеся в процессе подготовки специалистов данной области. Отмечено, что, несмотря на то, что выпускники музыкально-педагогических вузов изначально ориентированы в своей подготовке на педагогическую деятельность, должное внимание к ней появляется не сразу, а в процессе подготовки, характеризующейся как поливариативная. Взаимодействие исполнительской и педагогической деятельности в процессе подготовки и профессиональной работы в качестве педагога-музыканта обязывает нас ответственно отнестись к выявлению методов осмысления и практического применения всего комплекса профессиональных компетенций, необходимых личностных качеств, с помощью которых формируется высокопрофессиональный образ педагога-музыканта.

This article examines the essence and content of the practical training of a conductor-choirmaster in the conditions of a musical and pedagogical university from various stand points. The interaction of various professional competencies of graduates is shown, as well as various pedagogical approaches used in the process of training specialists in this field. It is noted that despite the fact that graduates of musical and pedagogical universities are initially focused in their training on pedagogical activity, due attention to it does not appear immediately, but in the process of preparation, which is characterized as polyvariable. The interaction of performing and pedagogical activities in the process of training and professional work as a teacher-musician obliges us to take a responsible approach to identifying methods for understanding and practical application of the entire complex of professional competencies, necessary personal qualities, with the help of which a highly professional image of a teacher-musician is formed.

Published: May 2023

OBJECTIVE:

Vitamin D deficiency in chronically diseased individuals is an important cause of morbidity in addition to their chronic ailment. As it is an important component for bone mineralization and calcium homeostasis. Vitamin 25(0H) D is produced in skin in the presence of sunlight. The main objective of the study conducted is to observe the percentage of vitamin D deficiency in population with chronic diseases such as Diabetes and Hypertension in city of Lahore.

METHODS:

Data collected from patients visiting Medicine clinic in Bahria International Hospital, Lahore from June 2017 to March 2018.

 

 

RESULTS:

Retrospectively 115 patients were analyzed. Patients with level <30ng/ml are considered deficient. We found 112/115 patients were found vitamin D deficient i.e. with levels<30ng/ml. Females were more effected (69/112) than males (46/112). We found83/115(43%) individuals were exposed to sunshine less than 10 minutes in a day. This seems to be a contributory factor for decreased vitamin D synthesis. The effected individuals were found to have clinical symptoms related to vitamin D deficiency e.g. psychiatric, musculoskeletal and behavioral symptoms with significant P-value <0.05

CONCLUSION:

Our study detected that vitamin D deficiency is still an under diagnosed and underestimated problem as it is more common in individuals with chronic diseases like Diabetes and cause many important skeletal, psychiatric and behavioral issues in people suffering from different chronic diseases.

Our study emphasizes the need to identify the cases endangered by Vitamin D insufficiency.

CUIDADOS E TRATAMENTOS A PACIENTES HEMOFÍLICOS NO BRASIL
Authors: Silva Emerson de Oliveira , Silva Franklin Souza da
Published: May 2023

A hemofilia é uma doença genética relacionada com o cromossomo X, causado pela falta de fatores de coagulação fator VIII (tipo A) e fator IX (tipo B) que consiste na dificuldade do sangue para coagular adequadamente. Portanto, sua ocorrência no sexo masculino é quase exclusiva, já que os homens possuem apenas um cromossomo X. Caracteriza-se pelo aparecimento de hemorragias internas e externas devidas à deficiência parcial de uma proteína coagulante denominada globulina anti-hemofílica (fator de coagulação). Que pode ser classificada em grave, moderada ou leve. Nos casos graves e moderados, os sintomas aparecem nos primeiros anos de vida e os sangramentos mais comuns são a hemorragia para dentro das juntas, aparecimento de “manchas roxas” no corpo e hematomas. Mediante a estes sinais, o médico deve pensar no diagnóstico de hemofilia e encaminhar o paciente para os centros de tratamento de hemofilia que, no Brasil, estão localizados nos bancos de sangue ou outros hospitais públicos. O tratamento ocorre por meio da reposição do fator de coagulação deficiente através de concentrados de fator VIII ou IX por injeção venosa, ou por profilaxia que mantém os níveis de fator sempre elevados suficientemente elevados para evitar sangramentos.
The Volyn biota (Ukraine) – indications of 1.5 Gyr old eukaryotes in 3D preservation, a spotlight on the “boring billion”
Authors: Franz Gerhard , Khomenko Vladimir , Lyckberg Peter , Chournousenko Vsevolod , Struck Ulrich , Gernert Ulrich , Nissen Jörg
Published: May 2023

Abstract. The Volyn biota, fossilized organisms with a minimum age of 1.5 Ga, were
found in cavities in granitic pegmatites from the Korosten Pluton, NW
Ukrainian shield. Fossilization was due to an influx of hydrothermal
fluorine-rich waters, which silicified the outermost part of the organisms,
thus preserving the 3D morphology. Details of the morphology (investigated
by scanning electron microscopy) show that the majority of the specimens are
filamentous, of a large variety with diameters ranging from ∼ 10 to ∼ 200 µm, thin filaments with typical
branching and thick filaments with ball-shaped outgrowths and dented surface.
Filaments can be straight or conical, curvilinear, or strongly curved, up to
millimeters in length, some with a central channel. Some filaments show indications
of segmentation and are grown as sessile organisms onto substrate; others show
both intact ends, indicating a non-sessile, free-living lifestyle. Objects
with flaky morphology and agglutinating filaments are interpreted as fossil
biofilms. Other objects are hollow and show a large variety of forms;
spherical objects are scarce. Infrared spectroscopy indicates the presence
of chitosan in one filament type, electron microprobe analysis of nanometer-sized
inclusions in filaments identified the presence of Bi(Te,S) minerals, and
both observations are compatible with the interpretation as fungi-like
organisms. Stable C- and N-isotope data of bulk samples are in the range of
−31 ‰ to −47 ‰ δ13C and of +3 ‰ to +10 ‰ δ15N, indicating possible methanogens as
part of the subsurface microecosystem. The Volyn biota indicate that at 1.5 Ga complex forms of life existed in the continental deep biosphere, well
above the microscopic level, including fungi-like organisms resembling
eukaryotes.
Resilient Antarctic monsoonal climate prevented ice growth during the Eocene
Authors: Baatsen Michiel , Bijl Peter , von der Heydt Anna , Sluijs Appy , Dijkstra Henk
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Understanding the extreme greenhouse of the Eocene (56–34Ma ago) is key to anticipate potential future conditions. During the Eocene, the Antarctic continent remained mostly ice-free despite large temperature swings. Seemingly contradictory indications of ice and thriving vegetation complicate modelling efforts to explain the Antarctic Eocene climate. We use global climate model simulations to show that extreme seasonality mostly limited ice growth. Without ice sheets, much of the Antarctic continent saw monsoonal conditions. Perennially mild and wet conditions along Antarctic coastlines support vegetation reconstructions, while extreme seasonality elsewhere promoted intense weathering shown in proxy records. The results can thus explain the coexistence of warm and wet conditions in some regions, while small ice caps could form near the coast. The resilience of the climate regimes seen in these simulations agrees with the longevity of warm Antarctic conditions during the Eocene, but also challenge our view on glacial inception.
Total Column Ozone Trends from the NASA Merged Ozone Time Series 1979 to 2021 Showing Limited Recovery to 1979 Amounts after Declining into the Mid 1990s
Authors: Herman Jay , Ziemke Jerald , McPeters Richard
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Monthly averaged total column ozone data ΩMOD from the Merged Ozone Data set (MOD) were examined to show that the latitude-dependent ozone depletion turnaround dates TA(θ) range from 1994 to 1998. ΩMOD used in this study was created by combining data from Solar Backscattered Ultraviolet instruments (SBUV/SBUV-2) and the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS-NP) from 1979 to 2021. TA(θ) is defined as the date when the zonally average ozone ceased decreasing. The new calculated systematic latitude-dependent TA(θ) shape should appear in atmospheric models that combine the effects of photochemistry and dynamics in their estimate of ozone recovery. Trends of zonally averaged total column ozone in percent per decade were computed before and after TA(θ) using two different trend estimate methods that closely agree, Fourier Series Multivariate Linear Regression and linear regression on annual averages. During the period 1979 to TA(θ) the most dramatic rates of SH ozone loss were PD = −10.9 ± 3 % per decade at 77.5° S and −8.5 ± 0.9 % per decade at 65° S, which is about double the NH rate of loss of PD = −5.6 ± 4 %/decade at 77.5° N and 4.4 ± 1 %/decade at 65° N for the period 1979 toTA(θ). After TA(θ), there has been an increase at 65° S of PD = 1.6 ± 1.4% per decade with smaller increases from 55° S to 25° S and a small decrease at 35° N of −0.4 ± 0.3 %/decade. Except for the Antarctic region, there only has been a small recovery in the Southern Hemisphere toward 1979 ozone values and almost none in the Northern Hemisphere.
Pseudo-cubic trigonal pyrite from the Madan Pb–Zn ore field (Rhodope Massif, Bulgaria): morphology and twinning
Authors: Moëlo Yves
Published: May 2023

Abstract. A new occurrence of pyrite crystals with rhombohedral
habit, up to several centimeters in length, is described from the Madan Pb–Zn
ore field (Rhodope Massif, south Bulgaria), where it constitutes a late
pyrite generation. As observed in the past in other deposits, the ideal
rhombohedron is derived from the pyritohedron by suppression of half of its
faces (six “polar faces”) around a ternary axis. In studied crystals,
together with six main “equatorial faces”, additional minor faces
correspond to cube faces as well as polar faces. Such a dissymmetry
indicates that the crystallographic point group of these crystals is
3‾, a subgroup of the eigensymmetry 3‾2/m of a rhombohedron
taken as geometric face form. Twinning by metric merohedry confirms such a
symmetry decrease and permits the definition of this type of pyrite as a dimorph of
cubic pyrite, i.e., pseudo-cubic trigonal pyrite (pyrite-R). Twin operations
belong to the set of symmetry operations absent in point group 3‾
relative to pyrite symmetry m3‾: reflection about the {100} plane or two-fold rotation about the <100> direction. Four twin types have been distinguished (name,
chromatic point group): three contact twins (reflection, m′; rotation, 2′;
trapezoidal, (m(2)m(2)2(2))(4)), as well as one penetration twin
(crossed, 2′/m′). Composition planes always correspond to {100}, but there are two types of twin interfaces. More
complex twinned samples may develop erratically during crystal growth. Other
twin variations as well as genetic aspects of such a type of pyrite are
discussed.

Published: May 2023

Abstract. We use seismic waveform data from the AlpArray Seismic Network and three other temporary seismic networks, to perform receiver function (RF) calculations and time-to-depth migration to update the knowledge of the Moho discontinuity beneath the broader European Alps. In particular, we set up a homogeneous processing scheme to compute RFs using the time-domain iterative deconvolution method and apply consistent quality control to yield 112 205 high-quality RFs. We then perform time-to-depth migration in a newly implemented 3D spherical coordinate system using a European-scale reference P and S wave velocity model. This approach, together with the dense data coverage, provide us with a 3D migrated volume, from which we present migrated profiles that reflect the first-order crustal thickness structure. We create a detailed Moho map by manually picking the discontinuity in a set of orthogonal profiles covering the entire area. We make the RF dataset, the software for the entire processing workflow, as well as the Moho map, openly available; these open-access datasets and results will allow other researchers to build on the current study.

Abstract. Graduate education is an important cornerstone of building an innovative country. With the rapid development of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, the demand for surveying and mapping postgraduates with firm ideals and beliefs, solid professional knowledge, exquisite practical skills and outstanding scientific and technological innovation ability is becoming more and more urgent. Shandong University of Science and Technology has carried out long-term exploration and practice in the postgraduate training of surveying and mapping. In view of the problems existing in the current postgraduate training, such as the insufficient combination of professional education and ideological and political education, the curriculum system not adapting to the needs of high-level space-time information services of natural resources, and the lack of scientific research and innovation ability of postgraduates. This paper puts forward a four-in-one talent training system of "ideological and political-curriculum-platform-team" for surveying and mapping postgraduates, which combines ideological and political education, curriculum education, platform education and team education. After 10 years of exploration and practice, the application of this system has achieved fruitful results: The quality of postgraduate training has been significantly improved, the ability of postgraduates to serve the society has been significantly improved, the teaching results have been fruitful and widely used, and the level of discipline construction has been improved. It provides a reference way of education reform for the cultivation of scientific and innovative surveying and mapping talents in the surveying and mapping industry in the new era.

Published: May 2023

The Physical and chemical properties of durum wheat are important aspects in terms of its trading and processing. Accordingly, this research aimed to study the physical and chemical properties of two-imported durum (Mexican and Canadian) and their locally produced coarser and fine semolina, in addition to their contents of heavy metals. The results indicated that virtual properties, foreign matters and total impurities of the imported durum were in agreement with Libyan standardization for durum wheat. However, heat damaged grains, shrunken and broken grains in Mexican wheat were not in agreement with Libyan standardization for durum. Mexican wheat recorded less amount of moisture and protein compared to Canadian wheat. Cadmium and lead contents in durum and the produced semolina were with the requirements documented in Libyan standardization for wheat semolina. The results indicated that Canadian coarse and fine semolina significantly recorded higher contents of moisture, protein and ash compared to Mexican semolina. The results demonstrated that most of the measured physical and chemical properties of durum and semolina were in agreement with Libyan standardization for durum wheat.

Published: May 2023

This paper has constructed a linear quadratic Bézier-like curve with two shape parameters. The proposed work is to design the Arabic fonts by using Bezier-like curves. The focus of this study is to study the new functions of the Bezier-like curve and look at their application in designing Arabic fonts. Our new procedures involve a combination of quadratic and linear polynomial basis functions. The new functions of rational and non-rational Bezier-like curve are used to design Arabic fonts. The shape of the curve is modified as desired by simply altering the values of the shape parameters without changing the control polygon. The present study also looks at the extent of the approximation of the Arabic script design to its digitized image using the Bezier-like curves. The results of this study confirm that all generated functions can give the very visually pleasing shapes of the Arabic fonts similar to the original.

Published: May 2023

Exploratory data analysis is a data visualization approach used to extract knowledge from raw data. This approach can be applied to medical data to improve healthcare providers services.  In recent years, breast cancer has become more common in women and requires effective procedures to detect it in the early stage. In this context, breast cancer patients' data were collected from the Sebha oncology center through their routine blood tests. The exploratory data analysis technique is used in this study to better analyze the patients' markers. The analysis aims to discover prominent bio and tumor markers that can assist in determining whether a tumor is benign or malignant. Several statistical and visualizations methods are used. The results show that the most effective markers that may be used as cancer predictors are: Cancer Antigen-15.3, Carcinoma Embryonic Antigen, White Blood Cells, Blood platelets, and Albumin. These findings are consistent with the findings of Sebha oncology center specialists. which may eventually aid in their cancer diagnosis.
Mix Procedure of Ultra-High Performance Concrete Containing Nano-Silica; Advantages And Challenges To Achieve Required Characteristics
Authors: مفتاح محمد سريح
Published: May 2023

The paper describes the mix method and the results of the influence of nanoparticles of nano silica (NS) (d ≈ 65 nm) on the Ultra-High performance Concrete (UHPC) matrix properties. Five different contents of NS particles were applied: 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 wt.% by weight of cement. The studies regarding different physical and mechanical parameters of cementitious composite matrix specimens such as water absorption, porosity, compressive strength and flexural strength. Structural properties have been carried out and the results of these studies are presented and discussed. It was shown that the nanoparticles in the amounts of 1-2 wt.% can influence the cement hydration process and thereby enhance the compressive strength of cementitious composite. The higher enhancement was obtained during the first three days of hardening due to so called filling effect. In the following stage of hydration, the strengthening effect diminished. This phenomenon was convergent with the XRD analysis, which proved that the nanoparticles react with the cement paste components.

Portulaca oleracea is a universal species with a broad range of biological activities, including antioxidant and neuroprotective actions. The present study aimed to estimate the neuroprotective effect of purslane ethanolic extract (PEE) and aqueous extract (PAE) on depression model induced by reserpine. Methods: Seventy five male mice were divided into 5 groups (15 mice of each). 1st group control (C), 2nd group treated with reserpine 0.1 mg/kg (Res) as a single dose at the day 15th of the beginning of experiment, 3rd group treated with Escitalopram 1mg/kg for 15 days plus 0.1 mg/kg Res at a latest day of  the treatment. 4th group treated with PEE 2 mg/kg for 15 days plus 0.1 mg/kg Res at a latest day of the treatment. 5th group treated with PAE 5 g/kg for 15 days plus 0.1 mg/kg Res at a latest day of the treatment. Forced swimming test (FST) was performed 1 hour later after Res treatment. Results: Revealed data showed that the Res treated group induced significant (P>0.05) decrease in FST, decrease of brain monoamines [norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5HT)], brain cell energy [adenosine triphosphate (ATP)] increase metabolic energy [adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP)]. On the other hand other treatment groups showed significant amelioration in comparing with Res group and almost recovery in comparing with control group. Conclusion: Obtained data concluded that PEE more potent than PAE, ameliorate depression induced by reserpine and act as a neuroprotective, neuromodulator and stimulate monoamines secretion.
Comprendere le ingiustizie contro le sex worker nel corso dei secoli
Authors: Garofalo Geymonat Giulia
Published: May 2023

Researching the sex work market is a difficult endeavour, both for past and present times. Indeed, this market has often been largely hidden, and at least partially criminalised. The very definition of what is prostitution has been, and still is, contested. Studying its evolution throughout the centuries, looking at different cases in Europe and the United States, can be useful to the understanding of injustices experienced by the people, women and others, who sell sex.
Bullshit, Pragmatic Deception, and Natural Language Processing
Authors: Deck Oliver
Published: May 2023

Fact checking and fake news detection has garnered increasing interest within the natural language processing (NLP) community in recent years, yet other aspects of misinformation remain unexplored. One such phenomenon is `bullshit', which different disciplines have tried to define since it first entered academic discussion nearly four decades ago. Fact checking bullshitters is useless, because factual reality typically plays no part in their assertions: Where liars deceive about content, bullshitters deceive about their goals. Bullshitting is misleading about language itself, which necessitates identifying the points at which pragmatic conventions are broken with deceptive intent. This paper aims to introduce bullshitology into the field of NLP by tying it to questions in a QUD-based definition, providing two approaches to bullshit annotation, and finally outlining which combinations of NLP methods will be helpful to classify which kinds of linguistic bullshit.
