Authors: Rodrigues Rúbens , Pereira Júnior Lourenço , Santana Regina , Santana Marcos , Monaco Francisco
Published: August 2021

Conhecer o desempenho do sistema operacional é importante para o projeto e especificação do ambiente de implantação de serviços computacionais. O desempenho pode variar quando exposto a diferentes cargas de trabalho, em ambiente controlado pode-se excitar o sistema em estudo em diferentes níveis de exigência computacional. Especificamente, no caso do sistema de memória virtual do Linux, pode haver degradação do desempenho e até mesmo sua inutilização no caso de thrashing. Muito embora, seja possível perceber a ocorrência desses fenˆomenos, é muito escassa a existência de uma ferramenta que permita a condução de experimentos controlados a fim de produzir dados empíricos para estimação de modelos matemáticos que representam o sistema de memória virtual do Linux. Este trabalho apresenta (1) a proposta de um benchmark para este tipo de aplicação e (2) resultados que demonstram seu funcionamento.
The Influence of the Bottom Hole of Cold Extruding Internal Thread on Thread Quality
Authors: Hou Hongling , CHEN Xin , ZHAO Yongqiang , HE Yayin , WANG Changqian
Published: August 2021

The diameter of the threaded bottom hole determines whether the extrusion can proceed smoothly and the fullness of the tooth shape after extrusion. The tooth height rate is an important indicator of the strength of the threaded connection. In order to establish the relationship between the diameter of the bottom hole and the tooth height of the extruded internal thread, this paper takes the aluminum alloy M8×1.25 mm internal thread as an example, and uses a method of combining numerical simulation and process test. Obtained the changing law of internal thread profile and tooth height rate of extruded workpieces with different bottom hole diameters. Using MATLAB to fit the numerical simulation results, the relationship between the tooth height of the internal thread and the diameter of the prefabricated bottom hole of the workpiece was obtained. The reliability of the numerical simulation results and the feasibility of the fitting formula are verified through experiments. The results show that the diameter of the prefabricated bottom hole of the workpiece is controlled within 7.33~7.39 mm when the M8×1.25 mm internal thread is processed by the cold extrusion process. The high rate of the internal thread after extrusion meets the requirements of thread connection strength, and the internal thread has high forming quality and good surface quality.
Weitere Elemente der Marx’schen Rechtskritik. Eine Replik auf Imke Rickert
Authors: Peitsch Matthias
Published: August 2021

In ihrem sehr lesenswerten Aufsatz Zur Dialektik des Rechts in der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft rekonstruiert Imke Rickert zentrale Thesen aus Karl Marx’ Rezension Zur Judenfrage. Ihr Ziel ist es, Unzulänglichkeiten der gegenwärtigen materialistischen Rechtskritik herauszuarbeiten. Ihre Rekonstruktion der Marx’schen Prämissen droht jedoch über die für die Rechtstheorie wichtigen Unterschiede zwischen dessen Früh- und Spätwerk hinwegzugehen (hierzu I.). Diese Differenz ernst zu nehmen, eröffnet den Blick auf die in Eugen Paschukanis’ Allgemeine Rechtslehre und Marxismus enthaltenen Potentiale einer Rechtstheorie auf der Höhe der Zeit. Eine solche Rechtstheorie setzt wiederum einen komplexen Totalitätsbegriff voraus, der in Zur Judenfrage noch nicht entwickelt ist (hierzu II.).
Alltagspraktiken digitaler Teilhabe in Nachbarschaft und Stadt
Authors: Nitschke Paula , Schweiger Moritz
Published: August 2021

Der Artikel untersucht Alltagspraktiken digitaler Teilhabe auf Ebene der Nachbarschaft und der Stadt anhand von Online-Nachbarschaftsplattformen. In theoretischer Hinsicht wird die Frage aufgeworfen, inwiefern Alltagspraktiken digitaler Teilhabe als mediale Integrationsleistungen zu verstehen sind, und es ist das Ziel des Artikels, das integrative Potenzial der Nachbarschaftsplattformen einzuschätzen. Dafür wird das Konzept Alltagspraktiken digitaler Teilhabe, bestehend aus den Dimensionen politische Partizipation und Vergemeinschaftung, aus der kommunikationswissenschaftlichen und stadtsoziologischen Literatur abgeleitet. Empirisch geprüft wurde das Konzept durch einen Methodenmix, bestehend aus standardisierter Inhaltsanalyse und qualitativen Interviews. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass die Plattformen vor allem Vergemeinschaftung fördern. Auf der Plattform werden lose Beziehungen gepflegt und es werden enge Beziehungen zu Menschen mit gemeinsamen Interessen und Bedürfnissen vermittelt. Das Zugehörigkeitsgefühl zur Nachbarschaft kann auch durch das alleinige Beobachten von Vergemeinschaftungspraktiken Anderer entstehen. Politische Partizipation ist auf den Plattformen hingegen weniger verbreitet und wird von den Nutzer*innen zudem ambivalent bewertet.
Die Digitalisierung von Lebensstilpolitik. Wie Soziale Medien lebensstilpolitisches Engagement prägen
Authors: Leißner Laura
Published: August 2021

Unter dem Eindruck digitaler Medien wandelt sich politische Partizipation heute grundlegend. Während diese Dynamik für Wahlkämpfe oder Protestbewegungen bereits intensiv untersucht wird, stehen alternative, in der alltäglichen Lebensführung verankerte Formen politischen Handelns selten im Fokus der Kommunikationswissenschaft. Der vorliegende Theoriebeitrag beschäftigt sich daher mit dem Konzept Lebensstilpolitik als Form politischer Partizipation und widmet sich dem Zusammenspiel Sozialer Medien und lebensstilpolitischem Engagement. Dazu wird Lebensstilpolitik im ersten Schritt über die Kategorien Handlungsintention und Handlungsfeld systematisch definiert und entlang der Kategorien Handlungsstrategie und Handlungsrahmen differenziert. Auf Basis dessen wird anschließend anhand von bisherigen Studien und Fallbeispielen erörtert, wie Soziale Medien jeweils die unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen lebensstilpolitischer Praxis prägen und beeinflussen, welche sie begünstigen oder auch erst ermöglichen. Dabei wird herausgearbeitet, dass Soziale Medien einerseits Informations- und Partizipationskosten reduzieren und so lebensstilpolitisches Engagement unterstützen. Andererseits erweitern sie das Repertoire lebensstilpolitischer Praxis, indem sie - wie andere Medien nie zuvor - die technische Infrastruktur zur Ausübung einer persuasiven und kollektiv orientierten Lebensstilpolitik bieten.
Mein Text, meine Meinung, meine Wissenschaftlerin? Eine qualitative Untersuchung zur Nutzung von Wissenschaftler*innen als opportune Zeugen
Authors: Anter Luise
Published: August 2021

Wissenschaftler*innen werden zunehmend in der Berichterstattung zitiert. Dieser Beitrag fragt, ob Journalist*innen Wissenschaftler*innen dabei als „opportune Zeugen“ (Hagen, 1992) einsetzen, also jene auswählen, deren Haltung sie teilen. Trotz umfangreicher Forschung zur Rolle von Wissenschaftler*innen in der Berichterstattung ist wenig über deren strategischen Einsatz abseits einer instrumentellen Aktualisierung ihrer Aussagen bekannt. Auch die Forschung zum Konzept der opportunen Zeugen beschäftigt sich kaum mit der Eignung dieser spezifischen Urhebergruppe und klammert zudem die Perspektive der Journalist*innen aus. Leitfadeninterviews mit 16 Print-Journalist*innen ergeben, dass diese zumindest laut ihrer Selbstauskunft Wissenschaftler*innen nicht kontinuierlich als opportune Zeugen verwenden, da letztere oft aufgrund mangelnder eigener Expertise und damit vor der Meinungsbildung konsultiert werden. Außerdem ist die Position ein eher aufwendig zu recherchierendes Selektionskriterium, das im Vergleich zu anderen Kriterien wie Medieneignung oftmals weniger relevant ist. Gleichwohl verweisen die Ergebnisse auf Unterschiede zwischen Ressorts, wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen und Erscheinungsrhythmen.
Jenseits fixer Lagemaße. Die Change-Point-Analyse als Mittel zur empirischen Einteilung von Gruppen
Authors: Jungmann Nils , Strothoff Michael , Jandura Olaf
Published: August 2021

Im Fokus dieses Beitrages stehen Vorstellung und Elaboration der Change-Point-Analyse (CPA), eines alternativen empirischen Verfahrens zur Klassifikation kontinuierlicher Variablen auf der Grundlage von flexiblen Lagemaßen. Die Argumentation beginnt mit der Feststellung, dass in verschiedenen Bereichen der Kommunikationswissenschaft auf Gruppenbildungen zurückgegriffen wird. Neben normativ definierten Einteilungen werden dabei häufig anerkannte fixe Lagemaße wie der Median, der Mittelwert, Terzile oder Pentile (Extremgruppen) verwendet. Diese fixen Lagemaße stehen jedoch aus verschiedenen Gründen in der Kritik. Mit dem in der Statistik entwickelten Change-Point-Ansatz liegt ein auf flexiblen Lagemaßen beruhendes Verfahren vor, das dieser Kritik begegnen kann. Anhand einer Sekundäranalyse einer Befragung von Wählerinnen und Wählern vor der Bundestagswahl 2009 wird die Differenzierungsleistung der Change-Point-Analyse im Vergleich zu den etablierten Kriterien am Beispiel des politischen Involvements herausgearbeitet.
Geschlechterquoten im Kapitalgesellschaftsrecht Eine interdisziplinäre Analyse
Authors: Kowalski Philipp
Published: August 2021

Die Befürworter gesetzlicher Geschlechterquoten im Kapitalgesellschaftsrecht wenden sich nach den Aufsichtsräten nun auch den Geschäftsführungsorganen zu. Der nachfolgende Beitrag versucht aufzuzeigen, welche gesellschaftsphilosophischen und soziologischen Grundannahmen hinter dem geschlechtsbezogenen Quotierungsgedanken stehen und wie sie mit Art. 3 GG in Konflikt geraten. Auf der Grundlage interdisziplinärer, empirischer Forschung, die in der Debatte bislang noch nicht hinreichend berücksichtigt wurde, plädiert der Verfasser für eine grundlegende Neubetrachtung des Themas.
Methodenlehre trifft Staatskirchenrechtslehre
Authors: Janssen Achim
Published: August 2021

„Die Religionsgesellschaften bleiben Körperschaften des öffentlichen Rechtes, soweit sie solche bisher waren“ (Art. 140 GG i.V.m. Art. 137 Abs. 5 S. 1 WRV). Nach in der Staatskirchenrechtslehre vorherrschender Meinung gewährleistet diese Norm verfassungskräftig nicht nur die Körperschaftsrechtsform als solche, sondern auch einen traditionellen Bestand an sog. Körperschaftsrechten (Dienstherrnfähigkeit, Organisationsgewalt, Widmungsbefugnis usw.). Diese Annahme steht, betreibt man eine methodengerechte historische Auslegung der Körperschaftsgarantie, mit dem nach wie vor relevanten Willen des historischen Verfassungsgebers nicht in Einklang.
The role of religiosity in the etiology of vaginismus in the light of socio-cultural features: The case of Turkey
Authors: AKTAN MUTLU Elif , KOC Mustafa
Published: August 2021

Objective: Vaginismus is the most common female sexual dysfunction in Turkey and Middle East countries. Looking at the medical

literature related to vaginismus, studies/patients have concentrated in the Middle east geographic area. Turkey is a developing, secular

country located between Middle East and Europe with a mostly Muslim population. Many factors have been discussed in the etiology

including psychosocial, cultural, biological and sexual causes. Religious beliefs of a person in the form of religiosity affect all social and

spiritual spheres of his/her life in some way positively or negatively. One of the most affected life areas by religious beliefs is sexual

life, which has a lots of taboos. In this study we aimed to compare religious belief levels that are thought to be effective in the etiology

of vaginismus between patients and healthy controls and to discuss some of the other socio-cultural features.

Methods: 49 patients and 37 healthy volunteers were included. Sociodemographic data form, religious life scale and a form of common

sexual myths were used as the measurement tools.

Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the participants with and without vaginismus in terms of education

duration, working status, occupations, economical status, longest living place and marriage type (p>0.05 for all). No statistically

significant difference was found between the belief, emotions, behaviour, knowledge and total scores of both groups in terms of the

presence of vaginismus (p>0.05for all).

Conclusions: In conclusion, most of the sociodemographic data involved in the etiology of vaginismus, including religiosity, can be

equalized for both groups - with or without vaginismus - over time in the changing world and in life and mental factors can remain as

independent variables therefore expanding our research in this direction will help us understand this disorder better. In addition, it

can be considered that male hegemon culture is one of the important factors in the etiology of vaginismus. The interpretation of

religion with a male -dominated language may be a result of this hegemon culture.
The Diagnostic Accuracy of Abbreviated Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Abbreviated Breast MRI)
Authors: IKİZCELİ Turkan , GULSEN Gokce
Published: August 2021

Objective: Abbreviated Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a fast and a selected scan, used for screening women at high risk of breast cancer. The objective of this study is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of a new shortened Abbreviated Protocol (AP) relative to Full Diagnostic Protocol (FDP).

Methods: 206 breast MRIs were evaluated, respectively. AP was derived from the FDP and re-recorded. The new report was compared with the report of the previous FDP. The interpretation time of the shortened protocol was recorded. The results of the two protocols in terms of finding the lesion were compared using sensitivity, specificity, NPV, and PPV according to the histopathology results.

Results: 124 of 206 MRIs were malignant and 82 of 206 MRIs were benign. The average interpretation time was 58±35s with AP. The MIP sequence evaluation time was only 17±12s. The PPV, NPV, sensitivity and specificity values for AP MRI were 93.0%, 94.8%, 96.77%, 96.8% and 89.0% respectively. The PPV, NPV, sensitivity and specificity values for FDP MRI were 94.5%, 96.2%, 97.6% and 91.5% respectively. There was no significant difference in sensitivity and specificity for both protocols (p< 0.05).

Conclusion: AP is a new and shorter version of a Breast MRI. The diagnostic accuracy of abbreviated breast MRI for the detection of breast lesions shows a high level of sensitivity and specificity, with the advantages of shortening both the exam time and the interpretation time.
Pulmonary Aspergillosis in immunocompetent patients

Published: August 2021

Objective: Although pulmonary aspergillosis (PA) is often seen in patients with immunodeficiency, it also identifies a number of clinical diseases that cause morbidity and mortality, which can also occur in patients with immunodeficiency. The aim of this study was to investigate the disease patterns, demographic and clinical features, treatment and prognosis of pulmonary aspergillosis in immune competent patients.

Method: Our study is a descriptive cross-sectional study in which the data of immunocompetent patients diagnosed with PA in our hospital between January 2010 and Decenber 2019 were evaluated retrospectively. Patients over the age of 18 with a diagnosis of PA were included in the study. Demographic and clinical features, radiological findings, diagnosis and treatment methods and prognoses of the patients were recorded.

Results: 8 of the patients were female, 3 were male and the mean age was 61 (53 ± 69). Nine patients were diagnosed with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis and two patients were diagnosed with IPA. Four of the patient diagnosed with KPA were chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis, one was chronic fibrosing pulmonary aspergillosis, two were aspergilloma and two were aspergillus nodules. The most common comorbidity was diabetes mellitus (45.4%) and in total, 72.7% of patients had chronic lung disease such as COPD-asthma, tuberculosis, bronchiectasis. Cough, sputum and hemoptysis (90%, 72.7%, 45.4%, respectively) were the most common symptoms. The most common radiological finding on thorax tomography was crescent sign-cavity (72.7%). The diagnostic method used was mostly bronchoalveolar lavage and wedge resection/ lobectomy (45.4%, respectively). It was observed that eight (72.7%) patients were given voriconazole and three (27.2%) other patients surgical procedure performed and one patient was lost after surgery.

Conclusions: Although pulmonary aspergilosis is more frequently seen in immunocompromised patients with malignancy, solid organ and hematological transplants, it has now begun to be seen in immune competent patients. The majority of our patients were middle-aged, women and smokers, people with comorbidity such as DM and chronic lung disease. Therefore, we would like to point out that pulmonary aspergillosis should be kept in mind among differential diagnoses, especially in patients with immunocompetent with comorbidity such as chronic lung disease and DM.

This certified methodology shows the steps to be taken by contractors and builders of small water reservoirs with a special focus on preserving and archiving cultural value of historic landscape and its evolution. The methodology describes how to find and use defunct relics of historical waterdams in modern constructions (water retention dams), from identification in the landscape, through incorporation into the project documentation of the dam construction, to basic protection during the building process itself. State legislature on historic landscape is also mentioned. Re-utilisation of historic waterdams allows for their conservation for future generations and points at features of the historic dams at risk of destruction, and which need archaeological attention during the construction works (especially the historical drainage outlet). This methodology is praxis driven, as it is actively using knowledge gained through close co-operation with contractors and builders, and reflects their needs during construction.

Unintentional introduction of aquatic molluscs from Poland to Prague (Czech Republic)
Authors: Beran Luboš
Published: August 2021

The aquatic mollusc populations of a restored water reservoir N1 – Stodůlky (Prague Capital City, Czech Republic, Elbe River Basin) were studied during 2005. Two visits, one and two months after inundation of the reservoir revealed rapid colonisation by 14 species of aquatic molluscs and the introduction of eight species (Valvata macrostoma, Stagnicola palustris s. str., S. corvus, Planorbis planorbis, Bathyomphalus contortus, Anisus spirorbis, A. septemgyratus, Segmentina nitida) from a site in north-western part of Poland (Tuchola region, Wisla River Basin about 450 km distant). These molluscs were transported on coir rollers and matting which were used for stabilisation of the reservoir banks during restoration.
Francis Bacon, Between Myth and History
Authors: Drozdova Daria N. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: August 2021

Over the last 400 years, attitudes toward Francis Bacon's philosophy have changed considerably: the 17-century interest and the 18-century enthusiasm have been replaced by the 20-century criticism and reevaluation. However, both the praise and the rejection of the Lord Chancellor’s philosophical ideas often originate from the isolation and absolutization of particular features of his philosophy that can sometimes be in opposition to each other. These partial readings are justified by the fact that the reference to Bacon’s methodological and epistemological legacy has a symbolic meaning and is part of what is called “image of science” in Y. Elkana’s terminology. The way in which references to Bacon are used at different times and in different contexts is, in fact, a functional myth or theoretical fiction (I. Kasavin) in which the “historical Bacon” is fading away and what emerges is important and meaningful to those who declare themselves his followers or who lash out at him with criticism.
Bacon’s Metaphysical Method
Authors: Garber Daniel ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: August 2021

In this paper, I would like to examine the method that Bacon proposes in Novum organum II.1-20 and illustrates with the example of the procedure for discovering the form of heat. One might think of a scientific method as a general schema for research into nature, one that can, in principle, be used independently of the particular conception of the natural world which one adopts, and independently of the particular scientific domain with which one is concerned. Indeed, Bacon himself suggested that as with logic, his method, or as he calls it there his “system of interpreting” is widely applicable to any domain, and not just to natural philosophy. [Novum organum I.127] Now, recent studies of Bacon have emphasized his own natural philosophical commitments, and the underlying conception of nature that runs through his writings. In my essay I argue that the method Bacon illustrates in Novum organum II is deeply connected to this underlying view of nature: far from being a neutral procedure for decoding nature, Bacon’s method is a tool for filling out the details of a natural philosophy built along the broad outlines of the Baconian world view.
Bacon’s Inductive Method and Material Form
Authors: Belkind Ori ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: August 2021

This paper contends that Bacon’s inductive method depends crucially on his general account of matter. I argue that Bacon develops a dynamic form of corpuscularianism, according to which aggregates of corpuscles undergo patterns of change that derive from active inclinations and appetites. The paper claims that Bacon’s corpuscularianism provides him with a theory of material form that enables him to theorize bodily change and possible material transformations. The point of natural histories and experiments is then to find the processes of corpuscular change that correlate with making present or making absent simple natures.
Language of Reality and Reality of Language in Francis Bacon’s Philosophy
Authors: Osminskaya Natalia A. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: August 2021

The most important of Francis Bacon’s argument against Aristotelian syllogistic logic as a main method of investigation was his doctrine of Idols, closely connected to the contemporary Anglican theological views on imperfect human nature. In his criticism of the first notion of human mind, based on mistaken abstraction, Bacon separated “ars inveniendi”, “ars judicandi” and “ars tradendi” and argued for a new nonverbal form of communication, based on “real characters”. Bacon's conventional concept of the universal language, strongly influenced by Aristotle, was not realized by the philosopher himself, but it was of great popularity in both European rationalism and British empiricism in the middle – second half of the 17th century.
A Baconian historiola mentis in Spinoza’s Method
Authors: Del Nonno Omar ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: August 2021

Bacon’s influence on Spinoza’s thought is controversial, since this latter seems to underestimate the role of experience in achieving true knowledge. In this paper, I will investigate Spinoza’s reference in Letter 37** to a historiola mentis (little history of mind) a la Bacon as an empirical-historical method to distinguish between different kinds of perceptions. My aim is to explain why Spinoza considers Bacon’s little history of mind a useful tool to proceed towards the knowledge of the excellent things [praestantissimae res]. I will suggest that Spinoza could have been inspired by Bacon’s theory of idols and his historical method, since they help distinguish between different kinds of ideas with no previous knowledge of the first causes. Moreover, Spinoza’s method for interpreting the Scripture in his Tractatus Theologicopoliticus seems to be partially indebted to Bacon’s account of natural and civil history and aims to clarify the practical meaning of the Scripture. According to Spinoza, a historical and empirical method might play a pivotal role by transforming human praxis and behavior according to the order of the intellect. This method has in a strictly practical function and cannot be compared to the true knowledge of things through their first causes. However, it is a fundamental part of the process directing human beings to the knowledge of the most fundamental things.
Misanthropy and Misanthropes
Authors: Norlock Kathryn J. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: August 2021

With David Cooper and others, I argue that it is conceptually and ethically good to broaden the conception of misanthropy beyond that of hatred of humans. However, I hold that not everyone with misanthropic thoughts is a misanthrope. I propose thinking of a misanthrope as one who appraises the moral perception of misanthropy to be appropriate, weighty, and governing of other aspects of one’s moral outlook or character. I conclude that pessimism without misanthropy may be more ethically appropriate for some of us with misanthropic thoughts who wish to reject the identity of a misanthrope.
Houston, Do We Have a Problem?

Published: August 2021

Would the existence of extraterrestrial intelligent life (ETI) conflict in any way with Christian belief? We identify six areas of potential conflict. If there be no conflict in any of these areas—and we argue ultimately there is not—we are confident in declaring that there is no conflict, period. This conclusion underwrites the integrity of theological explorations into the existence of ETI, which has become a topic of increasing interest among theologians in recent years.
Physicalism and the Incarnation
Authors: Hess Keith ,   Evangelical Philosophical Society
Published: August 2021

Trenton Merricks holds to a physicalist view of the Incarnation according to which the Son transformed into a physical object (the body of Jesus) at the Incarnation. R. T. Mullins, in “Physicalist Christology and the Two Sons Worry,” claims that Merricks’s account is Nestorian since it entails that it is metaphysically possible for the human nature of Christ to be a person independently of the Son’s incarnation. While I am not a physicalist, in this essay I defend Merricks’s view against Mullins’s claim. I argue that if the Son is numerically identical to the body of Jesus, then it is not possible for the body of Jesus to exist independently of the Son’s incarnation.
God Is Not Chastened

Pneumatology, Participation, and Load-Bearing Structures
Authors: Leidenhag Joanna ,   Evangelical Philosophical Society
Published: August 2021

As Oliver D. Crisp’s Analyzing Doctrine sets out the major moves of a future analytic systematic theology, this response worries about the lack of close attention to work of the Holy Spirit. It is argued that this generates an unhelpful (and unintended) tendency for key theological concepts to collapse into one another. First, the concepts of theosis, participation, union, conformity, and sanctification appear indistinguishable. Second, Crisp portrays monofocal attention to the union of incarnation, without equal concern for that additional complementary way that humanity is united to God, namely, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Genuine Logical Consequence
Authors: Schultz Walter J. ,   Evangelical Philosophical Society
Published: August 2021

Our pretheoretic sense of the relation of logical consequence arises from our experience of deductive inference. By ignoring the priority of inference and failing to provide an account of the ontological grounds of the conceptual experience and of the modal and truth elements in the statement of our pretheoretical sense, informal and technical accounts are at best partial. This paper proposes an ontological analysis of both elements which accounts for our conceptual experience and differentiates genuine from ersatz logical consequence.

Published: August 2021

The article is devoted to the current problem of the modern school - the emotional well-being of students in the learning process. The study analyzes the role of the emotional component in students' learning activities, the impact of emotions on learning outcomes, and the importance of emotional well-being in maintaining and strengthening their health. The purpose of the study was to identify the causes of emotional discomfort of students in the learning process, the ways to ensure the emotional well-being of students, the implementation of which will improve learning success, maintain and strengthen students' health. The following methods were used to study the state of the emotional well-being of the students: 1) a questionnaire developed by the authors of the research to study the emotional well-being of students at school; 2) the method of assessment of mental activation, interest, emotional tone, tension and comfort, created by L. Kurganskyi and his colleagues; 3) a card to identify factors of learning success. The results of the study showed a low level of the emotional well-being of students in modern schools. Based on the analysis of the study outcomes, the causes of emotional discomfort of students in the learning process are identified. The possibility of improving the effectiveness of learning, educational achievements of students by ensuring their emotional well-being in the learning process is described. Practical ways to improve the emotional well-being of students in the modern school and the formation of their emotional health are outlined and substantiated.
Forced Leadership as a Social Psychological Phenomenon in Professionally Successful Women Scientists
Authors: Olha Cherepiekhina , Olena Dysa , Valerii Bulanov , Anastasiia Turubarova , Nataliya Rukolyanska
Published: August 2021

In today's world, women are increasingly taking the place of leaders, so they have to be active, focused, resistant to stress, have a high level of self-regulation, and be able to work in a team. So, we can see how women are sometimes forced to become leaders in difficult life circumstances. Due to persistence, self-education, determination, they work in leadership positions and demonstrate masculine personality traits. The study aimed to study the psychological characteristics of women scientists who hold high positions in educational establishments - vice-rector, dean, and department head. We hypothesized that the professional success of women scientists depends on the level of their potential leadership skills. The study involved 75 women from higher education institutions who successfully work as vice-rectors, deans, heads of departments. All of them have the degree of doctors of philosophy from various scientific fields and combined scientific activity with managerial activity. Analysis of the results of empirical research showed that a high level of leadership skills determines the professional success of 37% of women studied, but 63% of women scientists have other determinants of professional success. Differences in indicators were identified, and three groups of women were characterized depending on the level of development of their leadership abilities. In groups of women with a medium and low level of leadership skills, the main determinants of professional success are the focus on real-life circumstances, high level of development of stable emotional and volitional sphere, voluntary self-regulation, self-control in difficult situations, emotional stability. Women who have achieved professional success, not on the basis of potential leadership abilities, form a socially determined personal quality - forced leadership, which we tend to consider as a social psychological phenomenon, which is based on the ability to adapt to living conditions in situations requiring a person to choose against own individual psychological features, namely to become a leader, to cultivate the traits inherent in a true leader.
A Meta-Analysis on the Impact of Gamification over Students’ Motivation

Controversy surrounds the effectiveness of educational gamification on learners’ motivation to study. Prior papers attempting to summarize the available empirical evidence on the topic encompass too many additional domains like the academic performance so that the motivational point is discentrated. Hence, the current meta-analysis aimed to synthesize research findings limited to the clearly stated impact of gamification on higher education students’ academic motivation. Results from random effects proportion meta-analysis applied to seven relevant studies with a total of 368 students showed a pooled proportion of 29.68%. In other words, game design elements incorporated into the learning activities were significantly motivating for only about one-third of participants. The assumption of homogeneity was violated for certain reasons. As part of the discussion, previous scholars’ efforts to identify moderating factors of successful gamification were overviewed, and their practicality was questioned. It is concluded that the issue of whether educational gamification can amplify students’ learning motivation remains an area for further research.
Iniciação científica nos cursos de licenciatura e contribuições para a formação de professores

Considerando que a participação em projetos de Iniciação Científica (IC) se constitui como uma oportunidade privilegiada de inserção de estudantes de licenciatura na pesquisa, este artigo busca analisar as contribuições da IC para a formação inicial de professores e sistematiza o estado do conhecimento a respeito do tema consultando a Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD), Banco de Dissertações e Teses da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) no período 2000-2020. Os resultados evidenciaram aspectos relacionados às contribuições da IC para a formação acadêmica e científica dos bolsistas, para a permanência no ensino superior e para o exercício da docência. Do ponto de vista da formação e exercício da docência, a experiência da IC contribui com a construção de um olhar e postura investigativas diante da complexidade da prática pedagógica, deslocando o professor do lugar de “consumidor” de ideias e teorias para um lugar de “construtor” de conhecimentos. Do mesmo modo, o professor deixa de se reconhecer como “transmissor” de conhecimentos e reconhece seus alunos como “construtores” de conhecimentos. A IC na licenciatura pode ser considerada como experiência formativa na medida em que admite os conhecimentos da sala de aula e os saberes dos professores como problemáticos e o percurso investigativo como possibilidade de elaboração e reelaboração desses conhecimentos e saberes.
SC-JNMF: single-cell clustering integrating multiple quantification methods based on joint non-negative matrix factorization
Authors: Shiga Mikio , Seno Shigeto , Onizuka Makoto , Matsuda Hideo
Published: August 2021

Single-cell RNA-sequencing is a rapidly evolving technology that enables us to understand biological processes at unprecedented resolution. Single-cell expression analysis requires a complex data processing pipeline, and the pipeline is divided into two main parts: The quantification part, which converts the sequence information into gene-cell matrix data; the analysis part, which analyzes the matrix data using statistics and/or machine learning techniques. In the analysis part, unsupervised cell clustering plays an important role in identifying cell types and discovering cell diversity and subpopulations. Identified cell clusters are also used for subsequent analysis, such as finding differentially expressed genes and inferring cell trajectories. However, single-cell clustering using gene expression profiles shows different results depending on the quantification methods. Clustering results are greatly affected by the quantification method used in the upstream process. In other words, even if the original RNA-sequence data is the same, gene expression profiles processed by different quantification methods will produce different clusters. In this article, we propose a robust and highly accurate clustering method based on joint non-negative matrix factorization (joint-NMF) by utilizing the information from multiple gene expression profiles quantified using different methods from the same RNA-sequence data. Our joint-NMF can extract common factors among multiple gene expression profiles by applying each NMF under the constraint that one of the factorized matrices is shared among multiple NMFs. The joint-NMF determines more robust and accurate cell clustering results by leveraging multiple quantification methods compared to conventional clustering methods, which use only a single gene expression profile. Additionally, we showed the usefulness of discovering marker genes with the extracted features using our method.

Published: August 2021

This study examined the impact of Capital Flight on Economic Growth and Financial Stability in Palestine from the period (2000-2020). The time series data of Capital Flight, Foreign Exchange Reserves, Foreign Debt, and Real GDP used in the study, and the use of ordinary least squares estimation technology to analyze the research data. Carried out Johansen co-integration and error correction mechanism. The evidence of the research results shows that there is a co-integration relationship between the research variables, and Capital Flight has harmed the Economic Growth of the Palestinian case. Based on these findings, the study recommends that the government should provide a favorable investment environment to encourage investment and prevent Capital Flight from Palestine. In addition, the Palestinian Government should also prevent Capital Flight because these Infrastructure Projects/Programs will reduce the country’s production costs. The government should create a suitable investment environment for foreign investment and encourage entrepreneurs and equity owners to invest these funds domestically. In addition, the government should use all Foreign Aid funds in appropriate places to increase the Economic Growth Rate and create job opportunities for the unemployed, thereby increasing the National Economic Growth Rate.

The study determined the effect of Cinnamon (Cinnamonum verum) bark extract solution on proximate composition and sensory evaluation of smoke-dried catfish stored at ambient temperature (37+2oC) for 28 days. The experimental treatments are the control, 0.5%, 1% and 1.5 %( w/v) cinnamon bark extract solutions. Thirty-nine fish of average mean weight of 24.87+1.25g were gutted, washed and randomly assigned to the treatments. Thereafter, the fish were soaked into the treatments for 30minutes and later hot smoked for 12hours. After smoking, the fish were stored in boxes and placed on laboratory table for one month. The catfish Clarias gariepinus treated with 1% solution of Cinnamon bark extract had the highest moisture content with mean value 13.65+0.82%, followed by 6.93+1.66% recorded in fish sample treated with 1.5% solution of the extract, lowest percentage crude protein content 38.15+0.82% was observed in fish treated with 1% concentrate of the extract and percentage carbohydrate content indicate that the control have the lowest carbohydrate content with mean value 1.92+0.01% which is significantly different (p<0.05) from other treated sample while sample treated with 1.5% solution of the Cinnamon bark extract have the highest percentage carbohydrate with mean value 15.73+1.64%.Sensory evaluation was also assessed using 7-point hedonic scale and reveals that the smoked catfish retained very good score for appearance, colour, flavour, texture and general acceptance after 28days of storage and the overall acceptability mean score in fish treated with 5g and 15g cinnamon bark extract solution indicate the product is being generally accepted (2.87+0.59%) and (2.34+0.56%) respectively. Cinnamon (Cinnamonum verum) bark extract solution could be used to protect stored smoke-dried catfish from loss of nutritional value and general acceptability thus limiting economic loss and possible health risk to consumers.

Electrohomeopathy medicines have been practicing since the 1850s in European countries and from the 1870s in India. There are various methods of preparation of Electrohomeopathic medicines that have been developed and practice by the different manufacturers. For the safety, efficacy, and stability of the medicines, there is a need for scientific research to standardize the procedure of medical preparations. SLASS is one of the commonly using remedy by the electro homeopathy practitioners for various disorders concern to the digestive system, excretory system and nervous system etc... In the present studies we attempted a comparative study of a Process of Electrohomeopathic remedy “SLASS” Preparation, Compared with the Krauss method by phytochemical analysis, TLC, and FTIR Studies. Our process and Krauss method showed significant differences in phytochemical profile TLC and FTIR spectral peaks. The yield of the extracts of Aloe capensis and Gentiana lutea are more in our method compared to Krauss method. Glycoside is present in Krauss method.

Published: August 2021

Most researchers consider the action of projective general group on the cosets of its maximal subgroups leaving out non-maximal subgroups. In this paper, we consider the action of centralizer of an elliptic element which is a non maximal subgroup . In particular, we determine the subdegrees, rank and properties of the suborbital graphs of the action. We achieve this through the application of the action of a group by conjugation. We have proved that the rank is q  and the subdegrees are  and .
Possibility to Construct a Machine for Primality Testing of Numbers
Authors: Musha Takaaki
Published: August 2021

Like the optical prism to break white light up into its constituent spectral colors, the machine to show a prime as a single spectrum is proposed. From the theoretical analysis, it can be shown that the machine to recognize the prime number as a single spectrum can be realized by using the correlation function of Riemann zeta function. Moreover, this method can be used for a factorization of the integer consisted of two primes.
Multimodal Video Sentiment Analysis Using Audio and Text Data
Authors: Wang Yanyan
Published: August 2021

Nowadays, video sharing websites are becoming more and more popular, such as YouTube, Tiktok. A good way to analyze a video’s sentiment would greatly improve the user experience and would help with designing better ranking and recommendation systems [1,2]. In this project, we used both acoustic information of a video to predict its sentiment levels. For audio data, we leverage transfer learning technique and use a pre-trained VGGish model as a features extractor to analyze abstract audio embeddings [6]. We then used MOSI dataset [5] to further fine-tune the VGGish model and achieved a test accuracy of 90% for binary classification. For text data, we compared traditional bag-of-word model to LSTM model. We found that LSTM model with word2vec outperformed bag-of-word model and achieved a test accuracy of 84% for binary classification.

The main objective of microfinance is to provide funds to those who are excluded from the banking system. But in order to attain this objective they have to deal with the issue of default in their loan portfolios. The aim of this paper is to analysis the factors that affect the default of borrowers in microfinance institutions. The discriminant analysis reveals that 96.6% of the bad borrowers are correctly classified and 92.1% of the good borrowers are correctly classified and that other debts, age of borrower, borrowers income and number of dependents significantly affect the likelihood of default. We suggest that credit officers in microfinance institutions should be keen on these factors when granting loans.
