THE ORGANIZATIONAL-FRACTAL APPROACH TO PSYCHOLOGICAL RESEARCH OF HUMAN LIFE ACTIVITY
Authors: Рябов В.Б. 
Published: October 2020

Сформулирована гипотеза о том, что основное предназначение человека как субъекта, обладающего сознанием, - это противоборство расширяющемуся хаосу и установление субъективно воспринимаемой им гармонии между хаосом и порядком. На этой основе предложен организационно-фрактальный подход к исследованиям психологической жизнедеятельности. Основная структурная единица предлагаемой модели жизнедеятельности, фрактальная жизнь, - это компонента жизни человека, обладающая фрактальными свойствами, а жизнь человека в целом - это мозаика фрактальных жизней, протекающих во времени. Каждая фрактальная жизнь - это организационная система, специально сформированная человеком как живым организмом для выполнения своего предназначения и выполнения своих жизненных функций. В качестве системообразующего конструкта фрактальной жизни предложено использовать новое психологическое понятие, которое мы называем «дело». Критерием успешности таких организационных систем выступает качество жизни человека. Принципиальное отличие используемой нами для этой цели модели качества жизни заключается в том, что основной её компонентой является качество процесса жизни в отличие от традиционных подходов, рассматривающих качество жизни исключительно как качество ее условий. Делается предположение, что предложенный организационно-фрактальный подход может выступать основой качественного перехода к исследованиям реальной жизнедеятельности человека и интеграции психологических знаний.
The hypothesis is formulated that the main purpose of a person as a subject with consciousness is to resist the expanding chaos and establish a subjectively perceived harmony between chaos and order. On this basis, an organizational-fractal approach to research of psychological life activity is proposed. The main structural unit of the proposed model of life activity, fractal life - is a component of human life that has fractal properties, and human life as a whole is a mosaic of fractal lives that take place over time. Each fractal life is an organizational system specially formed by man as a living organism to fulfill its purpose and perform its life functions. As a system-forming construct of fractal life, it is proposed to use a new psychological concept, which we call "mission". The criterion for the success of such organizational systems is the quality of human life. The fundamental difference between the quality of life model we use for this purpose is that its main component is the quality of the life process, in contrast to traditional approaches that consider quality life solely as the quality of its conditions. It is assumed that the proposed organizational-fractal approach can serve as the basis for a qualitative transition to research of real human life and integration of psychological knowledge.

Authors: Грачев А. А. 
Published: October 2020

В статье предлагается развитие концепции мотивационного потенциала работы Хакмена и Олдхема в аспекте организационно- психологического проектирования. Дается обоснование методики прямой оценки мотивационного потенциала работы, основанной на модели жизненных ориентаций. Для оценки условий реализации мотивационного потенциала предлагаются две методики: первая позволяет оценить значимость для работника основных компонентов организационной среды, вторая - наиболее значимые характеристики среды. Обоснован список требований к организационной среде, представляющий собой характеристики работы, идеальной с точки зрения реализации жизненных ориентаций работника.
The article suggests the development of the concept of work motivational potential of Hackman and Oldham's in the aspect of organizational and psychological design. The article substantiates the method of direct assessment of the motivational potential of work based on the model of life orientations. To assess the conditions for implementing motivational potential, two methods are proposed: the first allows you to assess the significance of the main components of the organizational environment for the employee, the second - the most significant characteristics of the environment. A list of requirements for the organizational environment is justified, which represents the characteristics of the work that is ideal from the point of view of implementing the employee's life orientations.
Journal Writing by Families of Critically Ill Patients: An Integrative Review
Authors: Nakashima Hannah , Gallegos Cara 
Published: October 2020

Background
Families experience high levels of stress during a loved one’s critical illness.

Objective
To provide an overview of current evidence on the use of journal writing as a coping mechanism for family members during a loved one’s critical illness in a neonatal, pediatric, or adult intensive care unit.

Methods
Five databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, APA PsycArticles, and Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition) were searched to identify studies examining the benefits of journal writing for family members of critically ill patients. Eight eligible studies reported data from 426 relatives of critically ill patients.

Results
Regarding quality assessment, the quantitative studies met 73.1% of relevant quality criteria, whereas qualitative studies met 81.3%. Mixed-methods studies met 82.4% of quantitative and 55% of qualitative criteria. Various key themes were identified: communication and understanding, connection to the patient, emotional expression, creating something meaningful, and the importance of pictures and staff entries. Overall, writing in a diary seems to be beneficial for reducing psychological distress and posttraumatic stress disorder, but none of the studies found that it significantly decreased anxiety or depression.

Conclusions
The findings of this review suggest that having family members of critically ill patients write in a diary is a simple and cost-effective intervention that may improve their psychological outcomes. Critical care nurses are in a position to educate families about the potential benefits of writing in a diary. Future research would be valuable regarding the benefits of using a diary and an optimal approach for doing so in this population.
Adenosine-to-Inosine RNA Editing of Alu Double-Stranded (ds)RNAs Is Markedly Decreased in Multiple Sclerosis and Unedited Alu dsRNAs Are Potent Activators of Proinflammatory Transcriptional Responses
Authors: Tossberg John T. , Heinrich Rachel M. , Farley Virginia M. , Crooke Philip S. , Aune Thomas M. 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Sensors that detect dsRNA stimulate IFN responses as a defense against viral infection. IFN responses are also well documented in a variety of human autoimmune diseases, including relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis (MS), in which increased IFN responses result from increased levels of double-stranded endogenous Alu RNAs. Mechanisms underlying increases in double-stranded Alu RNAs in MS are obscure. We find widespread loss of adenosine-to-inosine editing of Alu RNAs in MS. Unedited Alu RNAs are potent activators of both IFN and NF-κB responses via the dsRNA sensors, RIG-I, and TLR3. Minor editing of highly active Alu elements abrogates the ability to activate both transcriptional responses. Thus, adenosine-to-inosine editing may also represent an important defense against autoimmune diseases such as MS.
The Measure of Financial Stability and its Impact on Foreign Direct Investment: Evidence from BRIC Nations
Authors: Kalsie Anjala , Dhamija Jyoti , Arora Ashima 
Published: October 2020

The stability of the economy has explicitly become a key objective for fiscal, economic, and monetary policy. It is a broader term described by different aspects of finance and the financial system. One variable cannot be recognized for defining and achieving stability. The purpose of this paper is two-fold, one to construct four measures of financial stability (MFS). The second purpose is to use the four constructed measures of financial stability in two stage least square (TSLS) regression framework to know the impact of MFA on Foreign Direct Investment (inwards) of BRIC for a period from 2000-2017. In case of Brazil, all the four measures of financial stability are significant. In case of Russia, government finances are not appropriately managed. In case of China, the large inflow of FDI is because of government policies as rest of the measures are negative. In case of India, the government measures are not efficient to attract the FDI.The openness of the economy is positively contributing to FDI in all countries except India. Of all the four nations Brazil is on the right path.

The Role of Tax Revenues in Ensuring Sustainable Economic Growth of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Authors: Dosmanbetova Manshuk , Kaderova Natalia 
Published: October 2020

The purpose of the research is to substantiate the scientific concept of the role of tax revenues in ensuring sustainable economic growth of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In accordance with the set task, the following tasks were solved in the study: to study the theoretical aspects of tax revenues and its impact on economic growth; to analyze and give an objective assessment of tax revenues.
The methods of statistical, comparative, and factor analysis were used, and a historical, systematic, and comprehensive approach to the presentation of the material were applied.
In analysis of findings and results, certain provisions were used from the practice of the Department of State Revenue for the city of Almaty and the Public Association "Chambers of tax consultants of the Republic of Kazakhstan".
The scientific novelty of the research is that on the basis of a theoretical study of the current state of taxation, possible directions for increasing the degree of impact of the tax system on economic growth are justified. The following is the rationale for the place of taxes in the system of factors of economic growth. It is noted that taxes can play not only a negative, but also a positive, and even an active role in changing the dynamics of economic growth; the values and structure of tax revenues for regions and the country as a whole are analyzed.
Theoretical and practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the obtained scientific results in the activities of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan and its structural subdivisions, the tax authorities at various levels, the Ministry of national economy of Kazakhstan. This research, being fundamental, can be used as a basis for training specialists in the field of Finance and taxation.

Authors: Mardenova Leila 
Published: October 2020

Goals and objectives of the research: To raise awareness about maintaining self-learning skill for the students of schools and their parents in order to investigate into human capital. The objective is to identify the advantages, disadvantages of blended learning in Math classes at schools with Kazakh linguistic groups and find out the proper implementations considering culture and perception of Kazakhstani families of the middle class.
Methodology: Mixed methods such as surveys and experimental classes were used.
Results/Findings: The self-learning skill is not developed in a majority of the students, however, there are bunch of problems related to this obstacle. Starting from the technological limits and internet access, ending with the not sufficient developments of the content for Kazakhstan’s students online.
Novelty/Originality/Value - The work with the students is performed in a relatively short period of time (3 months) by conducting classes. This is the first research done in ordinary comprehensive school and in Kazakh linguistic group on the usage of digital resource in English within the class of Kazakh linguistic Math class.
Theoretical or Practical Implications: The results of the experiment can be related to the primary data. The implication of the research can be used in conducting experiments in other schools to identify the tendencies of students in raising self-learning skill to invest into the human capital and its perspectives in economic sphere which includes education.
Language Resources and Multiethnic Central Asian Economies
Authors: Ivanova-Gongne Maria , Elo Maria 
Published: October 2020

Goals and objectives of the research – The objective of this research is to shed light on the multiethnicity of the Central Asian countries and their language plurality and examine the development of their broadly dispersed and boundary-spanning language capabilities from the economic perspective
Methodology – This paper reviews and analyzes secondary sources and primary data qualitatively.
Results/Findings – The findings illustrate that the Central Asian countries possess a notable language-resource base that can serve as a crucial asset in connecting economies via trade and collaboration, i.e. contribute to the national competitiveness
Novelty/Originality/Value – Studies addressing the economic impact of Central Asian language heritage are very limited, this is among the few examinations that link these language assets with economic relations and development
Theoretical or Practical Implications – The study points out that regional and minority languages are potentially relevant assets to be considered - beyond cultural heritage - especially regarding international economic and trade relations, not only dominant global business languages. It also suggests that minorities and diasporas are important boundary spanners and connectors across economies with their language and communication resources.
Market Efficiency of Listed Companies: Kazakhstani Case of Investment in the Public Limited Company vs Deposit in the Second-Tier Bank
Authors: Igenov Zhuldyz 
Published: October 2020

The paper examines the attractiveness of two different investment alternatives for individual investors. It involves purchase of KAZ Minerals PLC shares versus placement of investor’s funds in second-tier bank’s (Kaspi Bank JSC) deposit in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
KAZ Minerals PLC (hereinafter the “KAZ Minerals”) takes origin from 1930 and as for now it is leading international company for extraction and processing of natural resources. KAZ Minerals is the biggest Kazakhstani company that produces cupper in Kazakhstan and one of the biggest producers in the world. KAZ Minerals is making business in Kazakhstan and it is registered in London and Hong Kong Stock Exchanges.
The second-tier bank, which time deposits will be considered for investment as an alternative to investment in the shares of KAZ Minerals is JSC Kaspi Bank. JSC Kaspi Bank (hereinafter “Kaspi Bank”) started its operations in 1991, and today it is the one of the market leaders in provision of banking services and other financial products to large and medium-sized corporations, as well as individual clients, in all sectors of Kazakhstani economy. The choice of the bank is based on results of third quarter of 2019, which showed that Kaspi Bank is not merely one of the largest private banks in CIS, but also has a leadership position as a lender in Kazakhstan by total assets. One more reason for comparing the deposits of this particular bank to the investment in stocks of KAZ Minerals is the low risk level, as the bank’s management emphasizes the importance of asset quality and liquidity management, as well as maintenance of high operating efficiency.
Thus, the paper compares the attractiveness of investment in the stocks of KAZ Minerals PLC versus investment of money in deposit of Kaspi Bank JSC in terms of their profitability and risk level.

Introduction to the Narrative Justice Symposium
Authors: McGregor Rafe 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Narrative Justice presents an argument for a contemporary theory of aesthetic education, followed by examples of that theory in practice. I use aesthetic education in its strict philosophical sense, that is, as a thesis about the relationship between aesthetic or artistic value on the one hand and moral and political value on the other hand. The crux of the thesis is that there is some kind of causal relation between aesthetic experiences and moral development. The term is ambiguous because an aesthetic education is not an education in aesthetics but an education by aesthetics, specifically a moral education by aesthetic means, which is, in turn, a means to the end of political education.
Reading for Self-Knowledge: Poetry, Perspective, and Narrative Justice
Authors: Simecek Karen 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
In this article, I offer a response to Rafe McGregor’s Narrative Justice, in particular his notion of lucid phenomenological knowledge. By drawing on a discussion of lyric poetry, I argue that room needs to be made for the notion of perspective, which is more fundamental to our engagement with works of literature than narrative. I end with a suggestion of how to extend McGregor’s account to accommodate the idea of perspective, which I call lucid phenomenological perspectival knowledge. Ultimately, what I argue is that the knowledge on offer in one’s engagement with works of literature is not coming to know what some experience is like through the narrative construction but a form of self-knowledge that is available through the perspective that shapes the work (whether a narrative or non-narrative work).
Replies to Critics
Authors: McGregor Rafe 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
I am both grateful and flattered that colleagues whom I hold in such high regard have taken the time to engage so closely and so thoughtfully with my work. I am particularly pleased that those colleagues have approached Narrative Justice from such distinct perspectives as the intellectual impulse behind its writing was to create a work that was genuinely interdisciplinary and whose insights, such as they are, could be applied to a range of issues across the humanities and social sciences. I cannot hope to respond fully to these engagements in what follows, but I hope that my responses are sufficient to demonstrate the extent of my indebtedness to and respect for the symposiasts.
Being a Disciple of the Past: The Tradition and Creativity in Chinese Calligraphy Criticism
Authors: Shi Xiongbo 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
This article starts with a discussion of the role of tradition as it is related to creativity or originality in Western art theory and literary criticism before examining ideas of tradition and creativity in premodern Chinese calligraphy criticism. I elaborate that learning from the past has been regarded as the proper course to take in becoming a mature calligrapher, that in calligraphic practice, linmo (copying) and dutie (reading and contemplating the master’s original work) are the two main approaches to past models. I propose that gu, as tradition, is an ever-changing and accumulative repertoire in Chinese calligraphy history. The last section studies the calligraphic theory of tong-bian (continuity-mutation), illustrating that Chinese calligraphic practice, or visual art practice at large, emphasizes the study of the past, an inheritance of tradition, but that creativity or originality is still a value embedded in Chinese aesthetics.
Music Education as Faustian Bargain: Re-Enchanting the World with Thomas Mann’s Doktor Faustus
Authors: Koopal Wiebe , Vlieghe Joris 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
This article explores the musical motifs in Thomas Mann’s 1947 novel Doktor Faustus and how they relate to the novel’s particular Bildung character. We claim that the novel allows for a challenging musico-pedagogical reading, which opens up new and highly imaginative perspectives on music and music education. Going beyond interpretations that mainly discuss the element of music in light of the novel’s metaphysical or sociocritical pretentions, we believe that Adrian Leverkühn’s musical Bildung materializes a discourse that is primarily educational and affirmative. Bringing in elements of various “posthumanist” philosophical traditions, our article elaborates a musico-pedagogical concept of technology. On the one hand, this enables a wholly new and more appreciative understanding of what Leverkühn’s Faustian bargain could be about; on the other, it allows us to radically rethink the theoretical narrative(s) of musical science and education. The outcome is the call for a “pedagogy of pure instrumentality.“ By seducing students to take part in an experimental and care-ful study for immanent musical technics (rather than techniques), education allows music to re-invent itself, to keep researching the magical procedures and instruments that link together sound and meaning in diverse musical practices, beyond any teleological appropriation.
Teaching model-based testing
Authors: Németh Gábor Árpád 
Published: October 2020

Different testing methodologies should play an important role in the education of informatics. In the model-based testing (MBT) approach, the specification of the system is described with a formal model. This model can be used to revise the correctness of the specification and as a starting point for automatic test generation. The main problem with MBT is however, that there is a huge gap between theory and practice and that this approach has a high learning curve. To cope with these problems, current paper shows, how the MBT approach can be introduced to students through a small scale example.

Guided Discovery in Hungarian Education Using Problem Threads
Authors: Matzal Charlotte , Manahan Kirsten , Galaty Bridget , Wang Haoyi , Barbarics Marta 
Published: October 2020

In Hungary, ‘guided discovery’ refers to instruction in which students learn mathematical concepts through task sequences that foster mathematical thinking. A prominent figure of guided discovery is Lajos Pósa, who developed his method to teach gifted students. Rather than teaching mathematics through thematic blocks, the Pósa Method employs webs of interconnected problem threads in which problems are built on each other, and different threads are presented simultaneously, so that students work on problems from multiple threads at the same time. It was found that this method has been successful as extracurricular training for gifted students since the 1980s; however since 2017, as part of an ongoing research, the method has been applied to mainstream curriculum in two public secondary school classrooms. The present paper examines the design and implementation processes of problem threads in this public secondary school context.
