What Does CSR Believe about Religion and CSR?
Authors: Hill Peter C , Seybold Kevin S
Published: August 2022

In chapter 5 of her text, Claire White discusses what the CSR has discovered regarding how people develop beliefs about the nature of the world and how it works. Cognitive science recognizes several mechanisms that influence beliefs, both religious and nonreligious. We review some of the literature on the cognitive origin of beliefs and apply the principles identified by cognitive science to CSR beliefs about religion. What do CSR researchers believe about religion and religious experiences, and what do they believe about the CSR itself ? Variables found by the CSR to influence religious beliefs are the same factors that influence all beliefs, including beliefs CSR researchers hold about the research process in which they are engaged. We propose Watson’s Ideological Surround Model (ISM) as a way of handling perceived incompatibilities between beliefs about religion and religious experience held by scientific researchers and those held by religious individuals.

Phenomena, Mechanisms, and Levels of Analysis in the CSR
Authors: Taves Ann
Published: August 2022

This outstanding textbook provides an expansive overview of the sub-field of the Cognitive Science of Religion (CSR). White’s summary of the field’s core assumptions affords the opportunity – as does the book as a whole – to reflect on theory and method in the CSR and its implications for the evolutionary study of religion and/or culture more generally. Although White effectively summarizes the core assumptions using the “fractionation” terminology widely adopted in the field, I think the process of deconstructing and reconstructing needs to be more firmly grounded in philosophical work on explanation and multi-level research on meaning-making and appraisal processes. Without that, researchers run the risk of conflating levels of analysis and muddying what can and cannot be claimed at each level. Greater clarity in this regard suggests that “fractionating” religion is a positive step toward a more comprehensive, scientific understanding of the possibilities and limits of cultural diversity rather than a theory of religion.
On ideals of prime rings involving $n$-skew commuting additive mappings with applications
Authors: ABDİOĞLU Cihat , ALI Shakir , KHAN Mohammad Salahuddin
Published: August 2022

Let $n > 1 $ be a fixed positive integer and $S$ be a subset of a ring $R$. A mapping $\zeta$ of a ring $R$ into itself is called $n$-skew-commuting on $S$ if $\zeta(x)x^{n} + x^{n}\zeta(x)=0$, $\forall$ $x\in S.$ The main aim of this paper is to describe $n$-skew-commuting mappings on appropriate subsets of $R$. With this, many known results can be either generalized or deduced. In particular, this solves the conjecture in [M. Nadeem, M. Aslam and M.A. Javed, On $2$-skew commuting additive mappings of prime rings, Gen. Math. Notes, 2015]. The second main result of this paper is concerned with a pair of linear mappings of $C^*$-algebras. We show that here, if $C^*$-Algebra admits a pair of linear mappings $f$ and $g$ such that $f(x)x^* + x^*g(x) \in Z(A)$ for all $x \in A,$ then both $f$ and $g$ must be zero. As the applications of first main result (Theorem $2.1$) and apart from proving some other results, we characterize the linear mappings on primitive $C^*$-algebras. Furthermore, we provide an example to show that the assumed restrictions cannot be relaxed.

Raising Militias in 1806–1812 in the Context of Social Relationships (St Petersburg and Moscow Provinces)
Authors: Belan Mikhail
Published: August 2022

The subject of this study is the social contradictions in meshchane communes in district capitals in the early nineteenth century which transpired when recruiting men for military service. The object of the study is the appointment of militiamen during 1806–1807 and 1812, when far more men were recruited than during regular recruit levies. The author examines the communes of three district centres, i. e. Serpukhov, Novaya Ladoga, and Gdov. The article considers practices and motivations adopted by families, communes, town councils, and governors. The article refers to previously unpublished documents from council archives (communes’ verdicts, minutes of town councils, correspondence with governors). The author identifies two major issues: accusations of dissolute behaviour; and 2) conflicts between big and small households aggravated during mass recruiting to the militia in 1807. During the first militia, the traditional system of supplying recruits by commune proved insufficient to meet the needs of mass war. The author examines recruits’ age, marital status, family size, and reasons for being nominated. A suggestion is made that meshchane were more inclined to nominate older men than peasant communes: the role of nomination as a means of social cleansing seems to have been more significant in towns. The article considers the reaction of the government to delays and problems that arose during raising militia in identifying two response measures: the nomination of the dissolute was revised in 1808–1809 as a direct reaction to massive abuse recorded during the first militia – and the establishment of the official system of family recruit groups under the recruitment manual of 1810. Referring to the militia levy of 1812 and recruit levies of the 1810s, the article demonstrates that the new rules reduced conflict and delay in communes. During the Patriotic War of 1812, the nomination and dispatch of militiamen went considerably faster than in 1807. Additionally, the author supposes that with changes in legislation in 1808–1810, mass recruitment in the early nineteenth century, which made the position of small families more secured, could be a factor that encouraged the transition to the nuclear family in towns.
The Social Identity of the Courtiers and Nobility under Peter the Great
Authors: Zakharov Andrey
Published: August 2022

This article examines one of the aspects of the social identity of the Russian nobility in the first quarter of the eighteenth century. The author regards social identity as a set of retrospective practices of self-naming, the person’s self-identification, and social identification by the state, rank groups, and society. Referring to new material from archival sources and published correspondence, the author studies the semantics of little-known service categories of tsaredvortsy (courtiers) and clarifies the history of the words denoting them. Peter I treated seventeenth-century “service” terminology pragmatically and tried to perpetuate the word tsaredvortsy to denote servicepeople of all kinds. In the early eighteenth century, as the word shlyakhetskiye (originating from the Polish word Szlachta) was spreading in translated documents and letters, the tsar introduced the neologism to use among service people. Сlerks and the nobility already knew the word. Simultaneously, service vocabulary to refer to courtiers and “city noblemen” was developing in the official documentation. The article examines such examples of office vocabulary as lyudi polkovoy sluzhby, lyudi nalitso, nachalnye lyudi, otstavnye, kryzhovniki, pod krestom, and v stolovykh netyakh. Hundreds of representatives of military and service people referred to themselves as byteishchiki or as being v chetvertyakh or v statyakh. The author examines the practices of classifying service people as byteishchiki with reference to authentic statistics and the biography of I. N. and V. N. Tatishchev and officers of the Azov Dragoon Regiment. The author concludes that by the beginning of the 1720s, most service categories of tsaredvortsy had lost their relevance but they remained in the memory of the nobility while tsaredvortsy themselves became recruited again.
The Marital Status of Officers in Garrison Forces in Siberia in the Mid‑18th Century
Authors: Dmitriev Andrey
Published: August 2022

This article analyses data on the marital status of officers at garrison units of the Russian regular army stationed in Siberia in the mid-eighteenth century. Although the inspection lists of the regiments only contained data on persons of non-noble descent, information about almost a hundred officers makes it possible to determine the number of unmarried and married persons and single out those who had sons among the latter. Referring to this information, the author evaluates B. N. Mironov’s point of view on the existence of a specific “military estate” in the social system of the Russian Empire. A study of the inspection lists demonstrates that the proportion of married non-commissioned officers of these regiments was almost 80 percent, and half of these individuals had one or more sons. At the same time, in most cases, military personnel married being relatively young. In addition, spouses lived in the location of military units. The materials studied make it possible to correct the existing points of view in historiography regarding how favorable or unfavorable the conditions of military service were to create families. It is established that despite the low social status and the low level of material wealth, the “Siberian garrison” officers had the opportunity to marry, often while serving as common soldiers. It was facilitated by the fact that the garrison troops did not change their locations for many years, which allowed most officers, natives of Siberia, to serve in their native places without breaking away from their social environment. Most frequently, officers’ sons of the garrison troops also entered military service, which gives grounds to assert the existence of a succession in relation to this type of professional activity. These results indicate the need for an in-depth study of the issue with reference to specific military units in various regions of the Russian Empire. Only such an approach can help obtain a complete picture of the family status of the officer corps of the Russian army, which is necessary to determine the place of the “military estate” in the social system of Russia in the eighteenth century.
The Formation of the Early Petrine Military Elite: Belgorod Razryad Voivodes
Authors: Petrukhintsev Nikolay
Published: August 2022

This article examines some aspects underlying the formation process of the early Petrine military elite referring to the careers of three military leaders who advanced to higher positions in the late seventeenth century (A. S. Shein, B. P. Sheremetev, and Prince Ya. F. Dolgorukov). They were almost the same age, their starting positions were comparable, and they climbed up the career ladder in voivodeship traditional for the aristocracy differently, depending on the circumstances and the political situation that seriously affected their careers. Referring to a considerable amount of new archival material and synthesising the latest historiographic information, the author demonstrates the influence of the political crisis of 1682 on their career trajectories. Also, the author examines the differences in their life paths at the initial stage of the Russian-Turkish war of 1686–1700, the acquisition of diplomatic experience by B. P. Sheremetev and Ya. F. Dolgorukov during these years; and their participation in the Azov campaigns. The author reveals the uneven nature of Ya. F. Dolgorukov’s career, as he received the boyar rank much later than his younger colleagues. The author notes not only the commanding but also the outstanding administrative merits of the voivodes, whose appearance as part of the military-political elite was, among other things, a reflection of the objective process of a generational change. The author concludes that the most significant step in their acquisition of military leadership and the military organisational experience was the leadership of the Belgorod razryad – the largest unit of Russia’s field army in the second half of the seventeenth century and the most significant military administrative district, most closely involved in the “great wars” of Russia in the second half of the seventeenth century.
The Service Records of Heads of Departments and Members of the State Council: The Problem of Source Reliability
Authors: Shilov Denis
Published: August 2022

This study focuses on service records, a mass source of government records management in the Russian Empire between the eighteenth and early twentieth centuries. The service record was a document containing basic biographical information about the official (surname, first name, patronymic, age, social origin, religion, education. Also, the document reflected whether the official had real estate, their marital status, children, stages of service, awards, penalties, etc.). For government agencies, service records were the main source of information and a means of controlling officials, and for officials themselves – certificates attesting to their abilities, experience, and impeccable reputation. The analysis of historiography on the issue demonstrates, on the one hand, that service records are a source that is in high demand by researchers. At the same time, the uncritical approach to these documents still prevails in historical studies. The valuable information they contain is used without comparison with data from other sources, without identifying and analysing materials that clarify the bureaucratic process of creating service records. As a result, experts do not have satisfactorily reasoned ideas about the completeness and reliability of this type of source. The article attempts to answer these questions by referring to personal service documentation of heads of departments (ministers and chief executives) and members of the State Council (about 600 persons in total). The author considers the legislation on service records and points out problems that arose in providing reliable information for them. The information of various sections of the service records is compared with data from other sources – metric books, personal decrees, supreme orders on the civil department, personal files of officials, and published lists of officials. The author concludes that the information from different sections of the service records is not equally reliable, and that the completeness and accuracy of the source in the state records management of the Russian Empire varied depending on the order of data collection and control over the process by the government.
The Idea of History in Yu. M. Lotman’s Later Research
Authors: Parsamov Vadim
Published: August 2022

This article has a twofold goal, i. e. to identify the origins of late Yu. M. Lotman’s later ideas about history and to determine their peculiarities. The author focuses on two of Lotman’s fundamental ideas: the unpredictability of history and the juxtaposition of explosive and evolutionary processes. He understands the unpredictability of the historical process both in terms of the impossibility of predictions and in terms of turning to the past, which always depends on the present. To a large extent, Lotman developed the idea polemizing with the Annales School, which regarded the historical process as a slow time-reversible development. While appreciating the works of this school, Lotman contrasted the idea of longue durée with the idea of an explosion and the position of the researcher who is above the historical process and takes a position within it. On the one hand, the unpredictability of history is a source of the constant growth of new information, which makes history related to the artistic text. On the other hand, it increases the responsibility of any person who is able not only to study history but also to influence its course. It gives the historical process a moral character. The opposition of explosive and evolutionary processes corresponds to the opposition of binary and ternary models in historical evolution. In this regard, Lotman develops the ideas of C. Lévi-Strauss and J. Le Goff. However, unlike them, who deemed the separate existence of ternary and binary structures possible, Lotman shows their inseparable unity, which exists not only in the historical process but also in national literature and the work of individual writers. Lotman not only likens history to art but contrasts it to art as a look into the past is opposed to a look into the future. In Lotman’s appeal to the historical past, one can notice the synthesis of scholarly thinking and artistic imagination, which gives his later works a freer style and depth.
“Think More about Camels”, or A Usual Year in the History of Russia Seen from an Unusual Angle
Authors: Ivshin Vladislav , Plate Alice
Published: August 2022

The authors review 1837. Russia’s Quiet Revolution, a monograph by P. Werth published by Oxford University Press in 2021. The book is an attempt to conceptualise the reign of tsar Nicholas I until 1837, the year of a “Quiet Revolution” in the Russian Empire – manifesting itself in a series of sweeping changes leading to the creation of new institutions, concepts, and experiences that finally showed its results in the following periods of Russian history. The author examines ten thematic episodes (historical events) that took place in the Russian Empire during the year 1837 in its broader historical contexts (within the country and beyond its borders), which he united around the common issue of the formation of the Russian national identity. The book is interesting, on the one hand, as a genuinely scholarly study, which, on the other hand, includes all characteristics typical of popular science in terms of structure and linguistic style. Apart from this, the author’s conceptual observations make it possible to take a new look at the well-known events of Russian history during the period of Nicholas I’s “minor reforms”.
Age-related blood pressure and electrocardiographic dispersion mapping changes observed in Magadan adolescents
Authors: Loskutova A. N.
Published: August 2022

Aim. To study age-related electrocardiographic (ECG) dispersion mapping (DM) changes in adolescents with normal blood pressure (BP). ECG-DM makes it possible to assess the severity of myocardial electrophysiological abnormalities, which have not reached clinical manifestations with a standard ECG recording.

Material and methods. For the period of 2017-2020, the data of 1140 schoolchildren (590 boys and 550 girls) living in Magadan were analyzed. There were following inclusion criteria: age of 12-17 years, informed consent of parents, health status group 1-2, no prior chronic and acute diseases (vaccinations), and hypertension. Systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were recorded 3 times on the A&D Company Ltd BP monitor (2017, Japan). ECG-DM parameters were obtained using the CardioVisor-06s system (2004, Russia, Moscow): Myocardium index (norm <15%), Rhythm index (norm <20%), right, left atrial (G1-G2) and right, left ventricular depolarization (G3-G4), right and left ventricular repolarization (G5-G6), ventricular depolarization symmetry (G7), intraventricular block (G8), ventricular hypertrophy (G9).

Results. In the period from 12 to 17 years old, an age-related increase in BP and a decrease in heart rate were determined (p<0,001). Significant rates of BP increase were observed in girls at the age of 12-13 years (p<0,01), while in boys, yearly differences regard only SBP from 12 years (p<0,05), except for 14-15 years. Sex differences were established at the age of 13 for DBP (p=0,026), from the age of 14 according to SBP, with higher values in boys (p<0,05). From 12 to 17 years old, age-related changes were observed only in the Rhythm index (p<0,001), while the predominance of average normal values was established from the age of 14 in boys (p=0,008) and from 15 years old in girls (p=0,022) relative to younger age. There was also an increase in the proportion of persons with normal values in boys from 28,7 to 50,0%, in girls from 29,4 to 61,7% (p<0,05). The Myocardium index at all ages approached the upper normal limit without dependence on age and sex. According to G1-G9 indicators, normal and borderline values prevailed. The greatest similarity was observed in G1-G2 in 45,6-40,8% of boys and 48,3-46,5% of girls, as well as in G9 — 35,1-39,6% (p>0,05), respectively.

The proportion of persons in G5-G6 was lower among boys (6,9 and 7,1%) compared with girls (14,2 and 13,1%) (p=0,002, p=0,010), while other indicators had no significant differences as follows: G3 (9,8 and 7,1%), G4 (4,9 and 4,0%), G7 (5,4 and 6,0%), G8 (1,4 and 1,1%) (p>0,05). Among boys according to G9, age differences were observed at 14-15 years old (p=0,026), while among girls — G1 at 16-17 years old (p=0,035).

Conclusion. ECG-DM allows monitoring early cardiac dispersion changes in children aged 12-17 years with a normal blood pressure level and identifying among them those adolescents who need further examination.
Threshold Treewidth and Hypertree Width
Authors: Ganian Robert , Schidler Andre , Sorge Manuel , Szeider Stefan
Published: August 2022

Treewidth and hypertree width have proven to be highly successful structural parameters in the context of the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP). When either of these parameters is bounded by a constant, then CSP becomes solvable in polynomial time. However, here the order of the polynomial in the running time depends on the width, and this is known to be unavoidable; therefore, the problem is not fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by either of these width measures. Here we introduce an enhancement of tree and hypertree width through a novel notion of thresholds, allowing the associated decompositions to take into account information about the computational costs associated with solving the given CSP instance. Aside from introducing these notions, we obtain efficient theoretical as well as empirical algorithms for computing threshold treewidth and hypertree width and show that these parameters give rise to fixed-parameter algorithms for CSP as well as other, more general problems. We complement our theoretical results with experimental evaluations in terms of heuristics as well as exact methods based on SAT/SMT encodings.
Investigating the zeolite and bentonite adsorbent effect on different parameters of soil
Authors: Hosseinzade Mohammad , Hassanlourad Mahmuod , Naeini Seyed Abolhassan
Published: August 2022

Contamination of soils and groundwater resources has become one of the most serious global environmental problems in recent years. The use of natural and inexpensive adsorbents such as zeolite is one of the appropriate methods to prevent the spread of contaminants and increase the adsorption capacity of the soil. In this research, the behaviour of the mixture of sand with 15% kaolinite clay is investigated at first, in both conditions of non-contaminated and contaminated with lead nitrate. Due to the limited adsorption capacity of the sand containing kaolinite, different percentages of zeolite adsorbent were added to this mixture to investigate the adsorption capacity and changes in strength parameters of the soil and adsorbent mixture. According to the results of the atomic adsorption test, zeolite has a favorable effect on increasing the adsorption capacity of heavy metals in soils such that by adding 5% zeolite, the amount of lead adsorption capacity increases by about 70%. The dynamic behaviour of these compounds in both conditions of non-contaminated and contaminated with lead nitrate was studied. Dynamic behaviour shows that in the combination of soil with both types of adsorbents, by increasing the concentration of heavy metal, the cycles corresponding to Ru decreases.

Introduction: Interventions for older adults with multiple medical diagnoses may need to have a more general focus that can be applied across a broad range of medical conditions. Ba-Duan-Jin (BDJ), a non-disease specific Tai Chi-QI Gong based mind-body training coordinated with deep breathing, may be a good choice. Case Description: A 79-year-old white female patient, with diagnoses of cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, and perceived sleep dysfunctions, was referred for consultation of geriatric rehabilitation for poor endurance and balance in a senior living retirement complex where rehabilitation services were provided. A BDJ-based deep diaphragmatic breathing (DDB) progressive training was provided 45-50 minutes each time and 3 times a week for 6 months. At the baseline, the end of 3rd and 5th month of this study, this patient was assessed with the Barthel index for activity of daily living, 1-minute heart rate recovery, Pittsburg sleep quality index, head elevation during sleeping, 4-stage balance, and 2-minute walk test. At the end of 3rd and 6th month, the patient was able to have improved strength, endurance, balance, cardiorespiratory function, gastral regurgitation, and activities of daily living. The mechanism of the beneficial effects of BDJ-based deep breathing in this case was discussed with body mechanical and anatomical consideration. KEY WORDS: Older adults, Ba-Duan-Jin, Tai Chi, Multimorbidity, Diaphragmatic anatomy.

Background: Pediatric recipients after a successful kidney transplant (KT) are encouraged to return to normal life as they are in a growing phase and have physical inactivity during the dialysis period. However, chronic use of immunosuppression and physical inactivity negatively affects functional capacity and balance even after the surgery. Exercise training appears to be safe and promising in this population. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to explore the effects of tailored telerehabilitation on functional capacity and balance in pediatric patients with KT. Methodology: A total of 8 children with stable graft function with a minimum 1 year of transplantation, from one of the tertiary hospitals of western India, were randomly allocated into two groups via enveloped method: standard care (SC) and telerehabilitation group (TRG). The SC group received standard care with no change in their regular activities. TRG received tailored telerehabilitation as a playful activity for 45 minutes twice a week for six weeks. Outcome measures include 10 repetition maximum, a pediatric balance scale, and a six-minute walking test (6MWT) to assess muscle strength (quadriceps group), balance, and functional capacity respectively. Result: There were statistically significant improvements in the post-test 6MWT and muscle strength in TRG except for balance. The post-test comparison between the two groups revealed a significant difference in favor of TRG in all measured variables. Conclusion: Tailored Tele-rehabilitation contributed to the improvement of functional capacity and muscle strength in pediatric patients with kidney transplantation. KEY WORDS: kidney transplantation, physical activity, functional capacity, balance.

Background: HUBER 360 and PRIMUS-RS are technologically advance rehabilitation and assessment equipments. However, there is a dearth of literature, to the best of our knowledge, on the use of the above equipment’s in the objective assessment and effective rehabilitation. Case Report: The case discussed is of a 30 year old female who underwent Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction three months prior to approaching our physiotherapy department and was looking for more advance rehabilitation. A thorough pre-assessment was done, a part of which included the PRIMUS-RS testing of isometric strength, power and endurance of knee muscles. A week wise rehabilitation protocol was designed for 5 weeks on HUBER 360 at the end of which again PRIMUS-RS testing was done. It was then found that the deficits in the muscle strength, power and endurance had reduced and patient perceived herself to be able to perform better in her daily activities. Conclusion: Thus, it proves that the PRIMUS-RS and HUBER 360 play an important role in objective assessment and rehabilitation of a musculoskeletal patient. KEY WORDS: Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, HUBER 360, PRIMUS-RS, Rehabilitation.

We take into consideration the heat source strength dependent on solid volume fraction in the porous sublayer. Marginal stability curves are presented at different values of the relative depth of the air sublayer. It has been shown that the onset value of internal convection decreases with increasing this depth. Besides, the convective roller flow is of a large-scale character at low relative depths, but it can be localized within the upper air sublayer at high enough depths. A comparison of the threshold internal Rayleigh-Darcy numbers at equal ratios of the air to porous depths has shown that the enhancement of convection (or lowering its threshold) is more effective in the three-layered air–heat-generating porous medium–air system as compared to that of the two-layered air–heat-generating porous medium system.

The results of an experimental study of the behavior of a mixture of benzene and chlorobenzene under the influence of a highly inhomogeneous alternating electric field are presented in the paper. The inhomogeneity of the field is set by tip-plane geometry of the electrodes. The frequency of the alternating electric field is 50 Hz. Experimental observations have shown that with a gradual increase in the potential difference between the electrodes, the fluid motion is excited in a threshold manner. The flow is a narrow intense jet directed from the tip electrode towards the plane one. The return flow is axisymmetric. It is shown that the threshold potential difference and the intensity of convective motion significantly depend on the composition of the mixture.

We obtain a Lie algebra admitted by the system of equilibrium equations for a nematocholesteric, which models equilibrium configurations of the elastic field in the one-constant approximation of the continuum theory. In the case of a pure nematic, the system is found to admit a ten-dimensional Lie algebra, while in the case of a cholesteric, the system admits a four-dimensional Lie algebra. In addition, we have received particular analytical solutions of the system of model equations.

Published: August 2022

The study of plastic strain localization in skewed specimens made of AMg6 alloy was carried out under conditions of dynamic tests on a split Hopkinson pressure bar. Temperature fields were studied “in-situ” using a high-speed infrared camera. The temperatures measured in the localization zone do not confirm the traditional views of the strain localization mechanism as being conditioned by thermoplastic instability of the examined materials under realized loading modes. Comparison between the experimentally obtained temperature fields and the results of numerical simulation made with account for the kinetics of microdefect accumulation in the material, demonstrates that they agree to an accuracy of ~20%. Experimental studies and their numerical simulation that takes into account the evolution of the defect structure of the material, confirm the idea that the mechanism of plastic strain localization is associated with the processes arising in the system of microdefects in the examined material under loading modes implemented during dynamic tests.

Using a quantum-based approach, we modeled the free induction decay signals for ring clusters of finite radius consisting of 6 and 8 particles with spin 1/2. In addition, we modeled a free induction decay signal for a spherical spin cluster by superimposing the ring signals. The current research uses two possible orientations of the spins. The ring plane was assumed to be only parallel or orthogonal to the external magnetic field. The free induction decays curves and their Fourier spectra were calculated both with and without the exchange interaction between the spins. The second and fourth moments of the magnetization response were evaluated by direct theoretical equations. The dependence of relaxation time on the ring radius was found. The exchange interaction was found to cause an increase in the relaxation time of a ring cluster when the exchange is positive, and a decrease in the time when it is negative. At the same time, the results obtained for the spherical cluster model do not show such an effect.

This article investigates the forced oscillations of an incompressible liquid drop under the action of an inhomogeneous alternating electric field. The drop is surrounded by an incompressible fluid of a different density and is clamped between two inhomogeneous parallel plates. In equilibrium, the drop has the shape of a round cylinder bounded in the axial direction by these plates. The external electric field acts as an external force causing the contact line to move. To describe the motion of the contact line, a modified Hocking boundary condition is used: the velocity of the contact line is proportional to the deviation of the contact angle from its equilibrium value and the rate of fast relaxation processes, the frequency of which is proportional to the doubled frequency of the electric field. The use of this equation makes it possible to qualitatively describe the experimental dependence of the contact angle as a function of stress, in contrast to the Young-Lippmann equation. The solution of the problem is represented as a Fourier series in terms of eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator. The resulting system of inhomogeneous equations for unknown amplitudes is solved numerically. Graphs of the amplitude-frequency characteristics and the dynamic shape of the drop are plotted for various values of the problem parameters. The wetting parameter depends on the polar angle  , i.e. the coefficient of interaction between the plate and the fluid (contact line) is a function of the coordinates.
Racionalidad valorativa e instrumental en las organizaciones: un análisis de las prácticas de gestión humana

Published: August 2022

Objetivo: Analizar las autodenominadas empresas humanistas, a la luz de la racionalidad valorativa y la racionalidad instrumental, marcada por la rentabilidad económica para proponer la racionalidad valorativa como un criterio de humanismo en la organización.  Método: Para concretar este análisis, la investigación se apoya en nociones weberianas de racionalidad valorativa y racionalidad instrumental, y examina los fundamentos y propósitos de las decisiones que toman los directivos. Se utilizó una metodología cualitativa con enfoque interpretativo. El trabajo de campo se apoyó en entrevistas con empleados, gerentes y directivos de gestión humana de organizaciones grandes en la ciudad de Medellín. Resultados: Se encontró que existen organizaciones como funcionalistas, paternalistas o humanistas según la satisfacción, el desarrollo personal, la cohesión social y las capacidades que se consolidan en el lugar de trabajo. se observó un nivel de empoderamiento en el discurso de los empleados de algunas de las empresas estudiadas, debido al grado de integración, cohesión y a la estabilidad de los empleados; este empoderamiento está muy conectado con el estilo racional valorativo y funcionalista-valorativo. Conclusión: No importa el número de beneficios o de programas de bienestar, sino la posibilidad que tiene el sujeto de realizarse en el ejercicio laboral, lo cual implica que las empresas humanistas no son, necesariamente, las que más programas y beneficios ofrecen, ni las que figuran en los listados de los mejores lugares para trabajar.

Objetivo: Este artículo propone para la literatura sobre inversión de activos de renta variable una metodología aplicada a través de Algoritmos Genéticos (AG) y su implementación en el sector empresarial de inversión. Método: El estudio se desarrolló mediante simulación de las estrategias de inversión B&H, AT y AG sobre el índice accionario. El proceso de maximización del rendimiento de inversión para los activos financieros se realizó mediante Algoritmos Genéticos, los cuales se basaron en ecuaciones definidas en la tipificación cromosómica con operaciones inmersas en los genes. Se inició con una población aleatoria de individuos con cromosomas representando una solución para lograr el mayor rendimiento posible. Resultados: La aplicación de algoritmos con el RSI generó rendimientos superiores al 9 y 16% respecto a B&H y el análisis técnico, lo que quiere decir, mayor riesgo de inversión para B&H con volatilidad 17,6% pero comparable a las exhibidas por algoritmos genéticos y análisis técnico. Conclusiones: Mejor relación rendimiento-riesgo y eficiencia en los parámetros fundamentales de la Teoría de Portafolio es posible a través de estrategias de inversión basadas en algoritmos genéticos incluyendo el oscilador RSI. Este estudio sugiere que un mejoramiento del rendimiento de inversión puede ser anticipado mediante los parámetros stop loss y take profit y un rango de movimiento del precio del activo previo la toma de posición.

Objective

The aim of this study is to adapt the ‘Social Motivation

Questionnaire’ into Turkish and to ensure its validity

and reliability.

Material and Method

First of all, the questionnaire was translated from

its English original to Turkish by two independent

researchers with a good level of English. Then, it was

translated back into English. The content validity of

the questionnaire, which was provided with language

compatibility in this way, in Turkish culture was

examined on 18 participants. For the pilot application

of the questionnaire that provided the content

validity, individuals (n=137) who were in the waiting

room of our hospital, were older than 18 years, from

different age groups, and had the ability to read and

write in Turkish. Participants' descriptive information

form, EQ-5D general quality of life scale and social

motivation questionnaire were administered face-toface.

Results

It was determined that the Turkish version of the

questionnaire provided content validity, with the

calculated I-CVI values in the range of 0.78-1.00

and the S-CVI value being 0.93. One of the items

(Item 8) of the 'emotion regulator' sub-dimension

of the questionnaire was removed from the Turkish

version of the questionnaire because it decreased the

Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Other one (Item 2) was

removed from the Turkish version of the questionnaire

because overlapping by showing a shift to both subdimensions.

Thus, it was seen that the Turkish version

of the 6-item and 2 sub-dimension questionnaire

with a Cronbach Alpha value of 0.693 provided the

confirmatory factor analysis goodness-of-fit values.

The total score of the questionnaire had a moderate

correlation with the emotion regulation sub-dimension

score (r=0.581) and a very high correlation (r=0.955)

with the information seeking sub-dimension score.

Conclusion

The adaptation, validity and reliability of the Social

Motivation Questionnaire into Turkish was ensured

with a 6-item and 2 sub-dimension structure.
