The Paradoxical Nature of Well-being under Capitalism: A glimpse from the SEM analysis of the 2012 Australian World Values Survey data into the social determinants of subjective well-being
Authors: Hosseini S A Hamed
Published: August 2022

This paper briefly presents the results of a quantitative analysis of data collected through the sixth wave of the World Values Survey (WVS) in 2012 in Australia. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) – a rather sophisticated statistical method to explore interrelated variables/factors and to rule out spurious correlations – is used to explore the social determinants of one of the most routine notions of well-being in the Australian context. The findings, though being based on a rather reductionist measure of Quality of Life, clearly confirm the growing concerns around the inherent paradoxes of ‘being well’ in a society dominated by the social forces of corporate capital.
Engaging Opportunities in the Context of COVID-19 Equivocality: The Role of Frame Structure
Authors: Cheng Yu-Ching
Published: August 2022

How does information interpretation influence entrepreneurial action when the market is uncertain? This article reveals the role of frame structure through a topic modeling analysis of over 2900 financial news items about 444 newly public firms in 2021, when COVID-19 brought the greatest market uncertainty and, meanwhile, record breaking IPOs. It is the structure of the alignment of primary frames, the foundations of interpretative frames upon which information about financial market and individual firms rest; secondary frames, the positioning of other frames toward primary frames through congruence or incongruence; and socio-cognitive content clusters, the grouping of frequent terms that supply information. The analysis showed that information about successful IPOs has a flatter structure with a higher ratio of alignment than that of unsuccessful ones, regardless of firm age. It suggests a negative association between frame structure and entrepreneurial action outcome when the market is uncertain.

الملخص

يمتلئ التاريخ برموز نسائية تمتعت بالقوة والسيطرة ، وقامت على أكتافهن حضارات ، وتعتبر الحضارة الفرعونية خير دليل على المكانة التي كانت تحظي بها  المرأة في مصر القديمة ، ولعلها تمتعت بحقوق أكثر من التي تتمتع بها المرأة في عصرنا الحالي. تبوأت المرأة في تاريخ مصر القديم مكانة بارزة في شتى مناحي الحياة جعلتها شريكة للرجل إن لم تكن أحد الأسباب الرئيسية في نمو الحضارة المصرية، لذا لم يكن من الغريب على المجتمع قديما توقير المرأة والنظر إليها نظرة «تقديس» لآلاف السنين جعلتها حاضرة بقوة في المشهدين الديني والدنيوي. سبقت الحضارة المصرية حضارات الشرق القديم في تولي المرأة مناصب عليا في البلاد، فكانت ربة في مجمّع الأرباب، وعنصراً أساسيا في أسطورة خلق الكون، وكاهنة لأكبر معبودات مصر، وملكة شاركت زوجها الملك في إدارة شؤون البلاد، أو وصية على العرش، أو ملكة انفردت بالحكم في ظل غياب وريث للعرش، فضلا عن دورها الأساسي كأم وزوجة. كما لعبت المرأة المصرية دور يماثل دور الرجال في مصر القديمة وكانت لها مكانه ثانوية واجتماعية لم تكن لمثيلاتها من بنات جنسها في العالم القديم، وقد احترم الرجل المصري للمرأة تلك المكانة وساعدتها في ان تحظى بها فلم ينظر الرجل المصري للمرأة نظرة دونية وانما منحها الاحترام والتوقير، ويمكننا ان نفهم ذلك بعد ان نلقي الضوء على دور المرأة في تلك الأزمنة القديمة. اعتلت المرأة عرش مصر أو شاركت فيه أكثر من مرة في ظروف سياسية وتاريخية أحاطها الجدل، وحملت ألقابا عبر العصور من بينها (سيدة مصر العليا والسفلى، وسيدة الأرْضَين، والحامية، والعالمة، وابنة الإله، والحاكمة، وقوية الذراع، والقابضة على الأرضين، وسيدة التجلي) إلى جانب مجموعة أخرى من الألقاب الشرفية مثل (جميلة الوجه، وعظيمة المحبة، وصاحبة الرقة).

Hey, Siri, Am I Sexist?: An Examination of AI Voice Assistant Gender on Perceptions of Helpfulness and Usefulness
Authors: Henley Katrina
Published: August 2022

Sexual harassment, gender discrimination, gender pay gap, and more are all examples of sexist attitudes prevalent in society. With the world becoming more dependent on technology and new technological creations arising each day, societal sexism would also surely encompass the technological realm. Thus, we aimed to investigate whether listening to a female artificial intelligence (AI) voice assistant would increase benevolent sexism, compared to listening to a male AI voice assistant and if listening to a female AI voice assistant would increase traditional attitudes towards women compared to listening to a male AI voice assistant. We created an online instrument that allowed interaction with AI helpers while completing a quiz, then rating the experience. The data collected found that participants did treat Siri differently during the quiz, but their sexism levels did not change, indicating there may be a lack of sexism projected onto AIs by younger generations.
The role of visual and auditory information in social event segmentation
Authors: Ristic Jelena , Capozzi Francesca
Published: August 2022

Humans organize their social worlds into discrete social and nonsocial events. Social event segmentation refers to the ability to parse the environmental content into social and nonsocial units. Here we investigated the role that perceptual information from visual and auditory modalities, in isolation and in conjunction, played in social event segmentation. Participants viewed a video clip depicting an interaction between two actors and marked the boundaries of social and nonsocial events. Depending on the condition, the clip at first contained only auditory or only visual information. Then, the clip was shown containing both auditory and visual information. Higher overall group consensus and response consistency in parsing the clip was found for social segmentation and when both auditory and visual information was available. Presenting the clip in the visual domain only benefitted group agreement in social segmentation while the inclusion of auditory information (in the audiovisual condition) also improved response consistency in nonsocial segmentation. Thus, social segmentation appears to depend mostly on the information from the visual modality, with auditory information contributing in ambiguous or uncertain conditions as well as during nonsocial segmentation.

Differential expression of ARHGEF2 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: August 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines sporadic ALS using published data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of ARHGEF2, encoding ADP ribosylation factor guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2, in primary fibroblasts of patients with sporadic ALS (SALS). ARHGEF2 transcript was present at significantly higher levels in SALS patient fibroblasts as compared to control, non-diseased fibroblasts. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of sporadic ALS.
The impact of multi-word units in early foreign language learning and teaching contexts. A systematic review.
Authors: Schulz Johannes , Hamilton Catherine , Wonnacott Elizabeth , Murphy Victoria
Published: August 2022

This systematic review reports on research investigating the effectiveness of multi-word unit (MWU) input in instructed foreign language (FL) settings on young learners’ L2 attainment. Recent findings suggest that L2 learners can generalise from MWU input, abstract patterns and employ such schemata productively via slot-filling, indicating that MWUs are key catalysts of learners’ L2 development. At the same time, primary school L2 instruction is on the rise worldwide. Congruously, the importance of MWUs in L2 development is acknowledged in primary school curricula, teacher education and teaching materials: MWUs are considered crucial in the L2 classroom. Therefore, the incentive of this review is to systematically report the state of the art of research regarding the impact of MWU instruction in early L2 teaching contexts. The review covers English, German and French research into typically developing monolingual children aged 5 to 12 learning FLs in instructed teaching settings. Only two of the total results (n=2,233) met the inclusion criteria. Following quality assessment using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool and based on a narrative synthesis of available results, we cannot report trustworthy evidence of the effectiveness of teaching MWUs to young L2 learners. We conclude that the extant research lacks robust evidence that MWU input already established in teaching contexts has a measurable effect on specific aspects of students’ L2 attainment, such as productive skills. While we promote MWU’s potential facilitating role in L2 development, we call for more classroom-based intervention research on MWUs in primary school contexts to enable much needed evidence-based recommendations for L2 teaching to support L2 learning outcomes in primary schools.
Fusing physics-based and data-driven models to forecast and mitigate landslide collapse
Authors: Seguí Carolina , Veveakis Manolis
Published: August 2022

Deep-seated landslides represent one of the most devastating natural hazards on earth, typically creeping at inappreciable velocities over several years be- fore suddenly collapsing with catastrophic speeds. They can have detrimental consequences to society, causing fatalities and prone to affect transportation infrastructures. In this study, we validate that monitoring the basal temperature of a creeping landslide, and fusing it with physics-based modeling, can offer predictive and control capabilities for the landslide’s response. The study shows that physics-based models can be trained in the same phase-space, and has been applied to four case studies for its validity. We anticipate our results to be the starting point for a new era in monitoring, controlling, and forecasting deep-seated landslides, aiming at alleviating their devastating impact on society.
What is the efficacy of family focused interventions for improving communication in the context of anxiety and depression in those aged 14-24 years?
Authors: Lloyd Alex , Lawrence Peter J , Donoghue Kim , Sampson Katie N , Thomson Abigail , Fearon Pasco
Published: August 2022

The ability to communicate is integral to all human relationships. Previous research has specifically highlighted communication in families as both a risk and protective factor for anxiety disorders and/or depression. Yet, there is limited understanding about whether communication is amenable to intervention in the context of adolescent psychopathology and whether doing so improves outcomes. The aim of this systematic review was to determine in which contexts and for whom does addressing communication in families appear to work, not work, and why? From a total of 2418 papers that were screened, eight randomised controlled trials were identified from a systematic search of the literature. There was significant heterogeneity in the features of communication that were measured across these studies. There were mixed findings regarding whether family-focussed interventions led to improvements in communication. While there was limited evidence that family-focussed interventions led to improvements in communication relative to interventions without a family-focussed component, we discuss these findings in the context of the significant limitations in the studies reviewed. We conclude that further research is required to assess the efficacy of family focused interventions for improving communication in the context of anxiety and depression in those aged 14-24 years.

EFL Teachers’ Lived Experiences on Using Grading System
Authors: Basaula Asmita , Sharma Uma Nath
Published: August 2022

The Grading System, first used by Yale University in the 18th century for the purpose of descriptive evaluation of the students’ achievement, has now become popular worldwide. This paper explores and analyzes the Grade nine and ten English teachers’ lived experiences of using Grading System (GS) in English language teaching and testing in the institutional schools of Kathmandu. For this, we collected the required information taking phenomenological interview with the five purposively selected teachers of English from five respective institutional schools of Nagarjun Municipality in Kathmandu. The collected information was thematically analyzed using ATLAS.ti 9. The lived experiences of the concerned teachers showed the praxis of arbitrary and systematic use of GS in the researched context. The results reveal that the arbitrary use of GS has negative impact on the students’ classroom participation and teaching learning environment while the systematic use of GS has motivated the students towards learning, and thereby enhanced the teachers’ professional development. The study concludes that there is need for using systematic GS making it even more appropriate and scientific for the betterment of overall teaching and learning of English in particular, and thereby the system of secondary level education as a whole.

This study explores secondary level English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ perceptions about Project-Based Language Teaching (PBLT) in terms of its benefits in EFL classrooms. Moreover, it investigates the challenges EFL teachers face while implementing it in English language instruction and recommends the solutions as perceived by the EFL teachers in the EFL context of Nepal. Backing up with theoretical perspectives on PBLT approach, this study adopts phenomenological qualitative research design to analyze the data obtained from the in-depth interviews conducted with three secondary level EFL teachers from three schools of Kailali district of Nepal. This study reveals that even though EFL teachers have knowledge about the importance and benefits of using PBLT in English language teaching, they still face some ideological, pedagogical and operational challenges in effective implementation of PBLT in classrooms. However, the EFL teachers suggest some solutions to overcome the challenges for successful implementation of PBLT for better language teaching and learning.
Book Reading Habits of College Level English Language Teachers
Authors: Tiwari Hari Prasad
Published: August 2022

Reading only textbooks or coursebooks is not enough for English language teachers. In addition to textbooks, they should read several books for their academic advancement. Keeping this in mind, this descriptive survey design under quantitative research tried to find out the book reading habits of the college level English Language (EL) teachers. The participants of the study consisted of 20 English language teachers who have been teaching English in different Tribhuvan University (TU) affiliated colleges located in Banke district. The participants were selected employing simple random sampling technique. The data was collected using a questionnaire which included altogether fifteen questions. The first ten questions were closed ended and the last five questions were open ended. The collected data was analyzed based on the descriptive statistics technique of data analysis. The results of the study showed that the average number of books the college teachers read in a year is approximately four. Similarly, the majority of college teachers have no habits of reading even a single book in a month. Another finding of this study is that college teachers prefer extensive reading over intensive one. Moreover, the college teachers believed that the library is the main source for college teachers to read.

Kamu yönetiminde dünyadaki gelişmelere paralel olarak ülkemizde 2005 yılından itibaren nüfusu 50.000 ve üzerinde olan belediyelere strateji plan hazırlama yükümlülüğü getirilmiştir. Ancak bu kavram kamu idareleri için stratejik plan hazırlama Kılavuzunda stratejik yönetim sürecinin tamamını kapsayacak şekilde kullanıldığı için bu araştırmanın “stratejik yönetim” kapsamında tasarlanması uygun görülmüştür. Stratejik yönetim ve belediyelerdeki uygulamalarını konu edinen bu çalışmada İstanbul ilçe belediyelerinden çalışmamıza katılmayı kabul eden dokuz ilçe belediyesi, stratejik yönetim uygulamaları kapsamında ele alınmış olup, bu uygulamaların etkin olarak yapılıp yapılmadığının araştırılıp ortaya çıkarılması ve yapılması gerekenlerle ilgili somut öneriler sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda stratejik yönetim süreci bütün aşamaları ile ele alınarak araştırmamıza katılan ilçe belediyelerinin strateji geliştirme müdürü veya müdür vekilleri ile yaptığımız mülakatlar sonucunda elde ettiğimiz bulgular, içerik analizi yöntemi aracılığıyla “frekans analizi” tekniği kullanılarak yorumlanmaya çalışılmıştır. Bulguların analizi ve yorumlanmasıyla elde edilen çıkarımlar sonucunda; belediyelerdeki stratejik yönetim uygulamalarında belli bir tecrübenin oluşmasına rağmen hem birbirinden farklı hem de ortak çeşitli eksikliklerin olduğu ve yeterli düzeyde standarttın oluşmadığı görülmektedir. Ayrıca belediyelerde büyük ölçüde benzer çalışmaların yapıldığı, hazırlanan plan ve programlar belediyelerin zaten yapmakta olduğu rutin işlerini kapsayan dokümanlara dönüşmekten öteye gidemediği dolayısıyla stratejik yönetim uygulamasının etkin olarak yapılmadığı düşünülmektedir.

When operating electrical equipment and designing, there is always a need to solve the heating problem and cool it, namely the most vulnerable structural element - winding insulation. Issues related to the calculation of thermal conditions are the least developed area of the industry to create modern electrical equipment. The methods they are solved have an error of more than 10%, which is unacceptable. Therefore, the development of methods for mathematical modeling of the thermal regime of oil transformers using Simulink is relevant. The authors carried out a comparative analysis of existing methods for calculating the thermal regime of oil transformers. Based on our study, we propose classifying these methods into four groups. It has been proved that these models are challenging to analyze and have an error of more than 10%. We offer a model of thermal processes in oil transformers. The scientific novelty of the model is that for the first time, the object-oriented software module of the Simulink environment of MATLAB was used to describe the thermal modes of operation of oil-filled transformers. The simulation process was visualized using an oscilloscope (Scope) and a plotting unit (XY Graph). The upper input port is used for argument values, and the lower input port is used for function values. The main results of the study: - the existing methods for calculating the thermal regime of oil transformers were analyzed - the system of Lawrence equations was solved by the methods of mathematical modeling. - based on the study of the behavior of a dynamic non-autonomous system using Simulink methods, a convention model applicable to the description of the thermal mode of operation of oil transformers and other modern electrical equipment was developed. The proposed model for calculating the thermal operating conditions of oil-filled transformers are characterized by functionality and the possibility of using the results and the model itself in the design of modern electrical equipment.

Estudo numérico através do MEF sobre a influência de furos horizontais para passagem de tubulações em vigas de concreto
Authors: Elisandra Riquetti  , Soares Gilson Francisco Paz , Baruffi Diniane
Published: August 2022

O setor da construção civil busca atender a uma demanda crescente de trabalhos que exigem cada vez mais competência e agilidade nos processos de produção e execução de projetos. Porém, o ritmo acelerado pode ocasionar mau planejamento, comprometendo, significativamente, a qualidade final dos serviços. Para melhorar o desempenho de uma edificação, é imprescindível a realização de compatibilização entre projetos, a fim de otimizar a execução, evitando defeitos de ordem estrutural e estética. Uma das consequências mais comuns causadas pela falta de compatibilização de projetos é a abertura de furos em elementos estruturais, para a passagem de tubulações. Neste contexto, o presente estudo buscou avaliar, por meio de simulação numérica, a partir do método dos elementos finitos (MEF), utilizando o software ANSYS Workbench, quais as consequências de realizar furos horizontais em vigas, sem avaliação prévia da influência dos mesmos na estrutura. Realizou-se a modelagem de uma viga de concreto para validar a simulação computacional e estudar o comportamento da estrutura ao acrescentar em sua geometria furos similares aos encontrados in loco. Os resultados obtidos apontam que os furos alteram o fluxo das tensões normais no local em que se encontram, em função de causar uma retirada brusca do material.

DYNAMIC CLASSIFICATION OF BELTRAMI FLOWS
Authors:   Instituto de Desarrollo Humano (IDH) – Universidad Nacional De General Sarmiento,Juan María Gutierrez 1150 – (1613) Buenos Aires – Argentina, González R.
Published: August 2022

We study four configurations of Beltrami flows (BFs) defined as ∇ × v = ±γ ±v, where γ > 0 is an eigenvalue and which have a progressive rotating wave dynamics (PRWs) that satisfies the dynamic property (DP) [1], which allows us to classify them on the basis of the eigenvalues that result in each configuration. The first configuration corresponds to an infinite volume domain without contours. The classifier eigenvalue is γ ±ph = 2/ vph± where k is the modulus of the wave vector that forms an angle θ with the rotation axis. The result is a finite-amplitude, transverse, dispersive, circularly polarised, planar PRWs with a continuous spectrum. The second configuration has the same domain as configuration one. The classifying eigenvalue is γ ±ph = 2/ vph± with vph being the phase velocity, with vph+ < 0 and vph− > 0. They are axi-symmetric or non-axi-symmetric along the axis of rotation, of finite amplitude, non-dispersive and with motion between concentric cylinders at which the radial velocity equals zero. In the third configuration the fluid is confined in an infinite cylinder. The classifying eigenvalue is again γ ±ph but it results discretized by the boundary conditions on the cylinder wall. Classification is exemplified for vph+ = −0.1 and three rotating modes with m = 0, m = 1 y m = 2. These are finite amplitude dispersive PRWs. The fourth configuration consists of a rotational-translational flow, characterized by the Rossby number R0 (=U/a Ω) which is an intake flow to a semi-infinite cylinder. The classifying eigenvalue is γ ±ph with vph± = ∓R0. These are PRWs, of the same type as in the infinite cylinder, but dependent on R0. It is shown that these waves exist only in the interval R0 ∈ (0,0.642]. Where for R0 = 0.642 one has only the mode with m = 1 and as R0 decreases the modes m = 0 and m ≥ 2 arise successively. It is observed that, for the same R0, waves of the same sign of frequency do not exchange energy. For each configuration the possibilities and conditions of resonant triadic interactions are analyzed.

One of the fastest growing technological applications in recent years in the area of non-thermal plasmas is the treatment of water with discharges in (and in contact with) liquids. Reactive chemical species are generated in the plasma in the gas phase and enter the liquid by diffusion or are generated at the gas-liquid interface, thus changing its physicochemical properties, without the addition of external chemical compounds. Depending on the form of application of the plasma, well-differentiated effects can be achieved: on the one hand, the purification of water through the degradation of organic pollutants, and on the other, its activation, through long-lived reactive species, for later use in seeds and food treatments. In this work, the first results obtained in the water treated with a pulsed corona discharge under different exposure times are reported. In particular, measurement results of indigo carmine degradation; electric conductivity; pH; aqueous concentrations of reactive species, such as nitrate, nitrite, hydrogen peroxide and ozone, are reported. The results are discussed and compared with published data.

Los resultados revelaron que el sector artesanal rural se encuentra concentrado en la meseta purépecha y no en los puntos de convergencia turística. En la región purépecha resalta la actividad artesanal de la comunidad de Cherán K’eri. Se encontró que la vocación artesanal de Cherán K’eri está enfocada en su mayoría en textiles (76.22%), las maderas (15.45%), la juguetería (6.42%), la metalistería (1.56%) y las fibras vegetales (0.35%). Sin embargo, existen limitaciones y áreas de oportunidad para llevar a cabo acciones a largo plazo para el fomento del desarrollo comunitario. Se pretende que esta información sea de utilidad para intervenciones futuras del IAM, otras instituciones, actores involucrados en el sector y para el diseño de estrategias de desarrollo comunitario que reconozcan y apoyen a la actividad artesanal rural.

Published: August 2022

The aim of the work is to analyze the "Smart City" model, including reasons of its development; the concept development; the transition of the "Smart City" model to the Smart City Project in Russia; identify the Project content.

   Methodology: The urban planning model "Smart City" is one of the ways to improve the efficiency of territory management in large cities. Research is based on the collection and analysis of the appropriate normative, theoretical and practical documents.

   Research findings: In practice and within the framework of Russian legal regulation, this model is determined by the Smart City Project of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation. The Project concepts of digitalization do not fully meet the need for the development of a large city. On the one hand, the project concerns the sphere of advertising high-tech goods and services, and on the other, it is a new urban development model. The problem lies in the duality of the definition of the smart city concept and urban planning technologies. Practical implications: The proposed definition of the Smart City Project is a set of ideas and approaches allowing to generate a strategy of urban development based on the parameters of the urban environment, including the prediction of changes in these parameters. In this case, the Project considers the largest number of quality parameters of the urban environment, using the economy analysis, sociological and other data. Strictly technical re-equipment of urban infrastructure is included in the Project.

Authors: Chaykin E. A.
Published: August 2022

In terms of shaping of building structures, numerical calculations are required for the structural unit elements, deformability, limit forces under loads for a successful application of fully-prefabricated building structures of a closed type with glued wood-to-steel plate bolt joints. As a result, theoretical calculations are compared with the experimental data. It is shown that the proposed decisions concerning the structural units are reliable. The yielding parameters of the structural units are corrected in the model of the fully-prefabricated building. The scope of application is determined for the units of multi-connected structures or structures with glued wood-to-steel plate joints.

OBJECTIVE

Achieving solid fusion of the lumbosacral junction continues to be a challenge in long-segment instrumentation to the sacrum. The purpose of this study was to test the condition of adding sacral anchors through an S1 alar screw (S1AS) and multirod construct relative to using S1 pedicle screws (S1PSs) alone with sacroiliac fixation in lumbosacral junction augmentation.

METHODS

Seven fresh-frozen human lumbar-pelvic spine cadaveric specimens were tested under nondestructive moments (7.5 Nm). The ranges of motion (ROMs) in extension, flexion, left and right lateral bending (LB), and axial rotation (AR) of instrumented segments (L3–S1); the lumbosacral region (L5–S1); and the adjacent segment (L2–3) were measured, and the axial construct stiffness (ACS) was recorded. The testing conditions were 1) intact; 2) bilateral pedicle screw (BPS) fixation at L3–S1 (S1PS alone); 3) BPS and unilateral S2 alar iliac screw (U-S2AIS) fixation; 4) BPS and unilateral S1AS (U-S1AS) fixation; 5) BPS and bilateral S2AIS (B-S2AIS) fixation; and 6) BPS and bilateral S1AS (B-S1AS) fixation. Accessory rods were used in testing conditions 3–6.

RESULTS

In all directions, the ROMs of L5–S1 and L3–S1 were significantly reduced in B-S1AS and B-S2AIS conditions, compared with intact and S1PS alone. There was no significant difference in reduction of the ROMs of L5–S1 between B-S1ASs and B-S2AISs. Greater decreased ROMs of L3–S1 in extension and AR were detected with B-S2AISs than with B-S1ASs. Both B-S1ASs and B-S2AISs significantly increased the ACS compared with S1PSs alone. The ACS of B-S2AISs was significantly greater than that of B-S1ASs, but with greater increased ROMs of L2–3 in extension.

CONCLUSIONS

Adding sacral anchors through S1ASs and a multirod construct was as effective as sacropelvic fixation in lumbosacral junction augmentation. The ACS was less than the sacropelvic fixation but with lower ROMs of the adjacent segment. The biomechanical effects of using S1ASs in the control of long-instrumented segments were moderate (better than S1PSs alone but worse than sacropelvic fixation). This strategy is appropriate for patients requiring advanced lumbosacral fixation, and the risk of sacroiliac joint violation can be avoided.

Topicality. In the condition of insufficient moisture in the Right Bank Steppe of Ukraine, agriculture is associated with weather risks, non-compliance with the appropriate structure of sown areas and fertilization systems, which makes it difficult to obtain high and stable yields of agricultural crops. The development of agricultural systems is the basis for increasing both yield levels and the competitiveness of the agricultural industry as a whole. Aim. To study the influence of fertilization systems on the fertility of ordinary chernozems and crop productivity in biological short-term crop rotations. Methods. Field trial, laboratory, statistical methods. Results. It was found that the field crops of both grain-fallow-row and grain-row crop rotations were formed the highest productivity under high level of fertilization. Under different fertilization systems, it was noted that the productivity of grain-fallow-row crop rotation is higher than grain-row crop rotation by 8.3 t/ha or by 5.6 %. The productivity of both crop rotations was increased by an average of 6.4–7.8 % due to the application of microbial preparations against the background of mineral and organomineral fertilization systems. The content of mobile phosphorus and exchangeable potassium in all variants of both crop rotations increased due to studied fertilizer rates, but these rates were insufficient to maintain the content of nitrogen and humus at the initial level. In both crop rotations, it was noted that the lowest degree of "burning" humus was on the background of the organomineral fertilizers. When organomineral fertilizers were applied in the grain-fallow-row crop rotation, this indicator was 0.50 % that was 0.06 % less compared to variant with the mineral fertilization and control, and in grain-row crop rotation, this indicator was 0.46 % that was less by 0.11 and 0.06 %, respectively. Conclusions. Profit at the level (on average) of UAH 9114.4/ha was obtained in grain-fallow-row crop rotation, it is more by UAH 1039/ha, or 11.4 % compared to grain-row crop rotation. The advantage was that the predecessor residues in the organomineral fertilizer system was used as organic fertilizer, which have a positive effect on the synthesis of organic matter in the soil, productivity and economic efficiency. Keywords: crop rotations, fertilizers, yield, productivity, soil fertility, economic efficiency.
Experience of the Preface to Immanuel Kant`s Critique of Pure Reason Translation
Authors: Fedorchenko Yurii
Published: August 2022

The article provides a substantive philosophical, philological and translation­al analysis of each paragraph of the Preface to Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. It is revealed the conceptual character of the Preface’s formulations, which shows the logic of the movement of Kant’s thought in philosophy. In particular, the complexity of the problems of Kant’s philosophical research and the unity of his phil­osophical position, which can be traced in various works of Kant, are visualized. In this light, the Preface acts both as a certain summary and as a general direction for Kant’s subsequent philosophical developments. Pitfalls of possible misunderstand­ing and, accordingly, inadequate translation of individual provisions set forth in the Preface have been identified. The translation of the Preface must take into account Kant’s respect for metaphysics, which the German thinker seeks not so much to sur­pass as to improve. Kant’s metaphysics appears not as a frozen doctrine, but as a path of reason, his creative search for answers to the last/first questions of philoso­phy. This search for reason has been ongoing throughout the history of philosophy and will obviously not be completed by the philosophy of Kant, as he himself was well aware. Criticism of skepticism appears in this light not as a denial of metaphysics as such, but as an identification of weaknesses in one or another historical version of metaphysics. In addition, the study of metaphysics is a matter of discourse – a com­petition of judgments of different thinkers. Metaphysics concerns not only and not so much the reason of a person, but the person himself as the bearer of the reason. At the same time, Kant emphasizes the self-sufficiency of the reason (with all the men­tioned multiple ways of it) as a means of achieving the completeness of metaphysics. This article is an accompaniment to the new Ukrainian translation of the Preface, which is presented below in the same issue of “Philosophy of Education”. The author previously presented these theses for public discussion, but here they received their first academic edition.
