Empirical models of the structure of personal qualities of leaders: a radicalist type of social action (results of applied research)
Authors: Oseev A. A. 
Published: May 2022

The article is devoted to the methodological and methodological foundations of the study of the personal qualities of managers and ordinary employees of organizations. In contrast to the author’s previous works devoted to the study of the personal qualities of leaders, including civil servants, in the works of Plato, Aristotle and M. Weber, where empirical models of the structure of the personal qualities of leaders of goal-rational, value-rational, affective and traditional types of social action were presented (according to M Weber), this publication presents the combined results of research conducted at different times in different organizations on empirical models of the structure of personal qualities of managers and ordinary workers of the “radicalist type of social action”, which expands the understanding of the conceptual approach about the four types of social action by M. Weber. And the empirical models themselves can be useful for solving applied problems in the field of organization management. The more the work of collecting empirical data continued, the more interesting the theoretical and practical question became. How common are people of the radicalist type of social action? In what types of social institutions, in what professions is the radicalist type represented most vividly? What in the structure of personal qualities distinguishes the radicalist behavior of representatives of peaceful professions (civil servants, doctors, teachers, etc.) from certain categories of professional military personnel? If radicalist behavior is a professionally important quality of workers, then how to measure the propensity of an individual to engage in radicalist behavior? The analysis showed that on this scale, conservatism–radicalism, the features are located at different, opposite “poles of the same coordinate axis”. Therefore, as in the study of traditional behavior, the following areas of sociological research of radicalist behavior are distinguished. Within the framework of the first direction, the main attention in the structure of personal qualities is paid to the traditional component, fidelity to “following the habit” (according to M. Weber); in the structure of this type of personality, conservative traits are dominant in comparison with those who are inclined to a radical, radical change and breakdown of established orders and traditions. Within the framework of the second direction, the main attention in the structure of personal qualities is paid to adherence to traditions, which is equally combined with a radicalist attitude, a willingness to innovate. Within the framework of the third direction, which is important for the tasks of our new study, in the structure of personality traits, radicalistic traits dominate over conservative ones; Distrust of authorities, a tendency to break habits, a willingness to innovate, and a radicalist attitude towards change are clearly manifested.
Health as a value and practice: society, family, personality. Review of the monograph by E.N. Novoselova
Authors: Karpova V. M. 
Published: May 2022

The reviewed monograph is devoted to a comprehensive and versatile sociological study of the phenomenon of health, assessment of its state in the Russian population, analysis of factors that have a significant impact on it, the study of the value of health, its declarativeness, and representation primarily in normative ideas, but not in the minds of the population, description of the practices of a healthy lifestyle and their prevalence in modern Russian society.The relevance of this study is due to both the general goals of the socio-demographic policy of the Russian Federation, aimed at saving the population by improving its health, and the current agenda for combating the COVID–19 pandemic and the need to assess its impact not only on the actual state of public health but also on health-saving people practices.The monograph traces, analyses in detail, and comprehensively the revealed contradiction between the declarative high value of health and the intransitivity of the real practices of the population, which often do not correspond to the lines of self-preserving behavior. Based on a large array of empirical studies, the significant role of the family institution in shaping healthy lifestyle practices, educating future generations in line with a conscious attitude to one’s health is shown. At the same time, the high potential of the family in the transmission of behavioral patterns of unhealthy behavior is emphasized, which is noted by the author as the dual nature of the family influences adherence to healthy lifestyle practices.Special attention is paid to the urgent problem of combating the COVID-19 pandemic: based on the latest most relevant research data, an analysis is made of changes in attitudes towards health and hygiene practices, and an assessment is made of the impact of the pandemic and the restrictive measures being introduced on the mental health of the population.

Abstract
The paper deals with odometers (i.e. adding machines) of general type. We give a characterization of self-conjugacies of odometers which enables us to present an elementary proof of a classification of odometers given by Buescu and Stewart in [2]. The paper might also serve as a very quick introduction to odometers.
Assessment of Slope Stability under Bounded Uncertainties Using Differential Evolution and Particle Swarm Optimization
Authors: Vu Vu Truong 
Published: May 2022

AbstractIn the assessment of slope stability, the uncertainty of soil properties affects directly the factor of safety, which is the objective function to be minimized. Therefore, we propose an approach that treats the uncertainties as additional variables besides three common variables, i.e. the radius of the critical slip surfaceRand its centre coordinatesX, Y. This approach is also compared with two other approaches:i)minimizing the objective function (with variablesR, XandY) at all vertices of the feasible region defined by lower and upper bounds of uncertainties, and then choosing the best solution from them;ii)using the two-level optimization in which the optimal solution (R, XandY) satisfies the least favourable condition of uncertainties at these vertices. The proposed approach with extra variables shows the efficiency in finding good solutions with a significant decrease of computation time. The study also shows that both Differential Evolution and Particle Swarm Optimization can find good solutions, although the former is marginally better.
A Soil-Pile Response under Coupled Static-Dynamic Loadings in Terms of Kinematic Interaction
Authors: Al-Jeznawi Duaa , Mohamed Jais I. B. , Albusoda Bushra S. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Although the axial aptitude and pile load transfer under static loading have been extensively documented, the dynamic axial reaction, on the other hand, requires further investigation. During a seismic event, the pile load applied may increase, while the soil load carrying capacity may decrease due to the shaking, resulting in additional settlement. The researchers concentrated their efforts on determining the cause of extensive damage to the piles after the seismic event. Such failures were linked to discontinuities in the subsoil due to abrupt differences in soil stiffness, and so actions were called kinematic impact of the earthquake on piles depending on the outcomes of laboratory tests and other numerical analyses. In this research, numerical modeling is used to explore the kinematic forces created in a single pile erected in two sand layers under two different conditions (dry and saturated states). Based on the obtained results from the physical model, the maximum bending moment was observed at a depth around 200 mm below the ground surface in the loose sand layer, then these values gradually reduced until it becomes negative in the dense sand layer. It has been demonstrated that this modeling may be used to predict how a pile foundation would respond to “kinematic” loading generated by ground movements during a seismic event. Consequently, the current findings could be used in the design and construction of bored aluminum or steel piles in Al-Karbala soil.
Ensemble Tree Machine Learning Models for Improvement of Eurocode 2 Creep Model Prediction
Authors: Daou Hikmat , Raphael Wassim 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Ensemble tree machine learning models have proved useful for solving poorly understood and complex problems. This paper aims to calibrate the Eurocode 2 creep model by inserting a correction coefficient to the model. The correction coefficient is calculated using ensemble tree (bagging and boosting) models. The results showed that the insertion of the correction coefficient obtained by both the bagging and boosting models into the Eurocode 2 model led to significantly higher prediction accuracy. These approaches may lead to a better performance prediction, thereby reducing the effect of the time-dependent deformation on concrete structures.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
COVID-19 transforms many social fabric and people adopt new lifestyle due to the pandemic. It compels people to regularly wash their hands which lead to increasing water demand. The research on an office building in Central Jakarta, Indonesia, during 2018 - 2020 indicates 31.23 % increase in water demand per capita per day. The pandemic also reduces the effectiveness of the building’s rainwater harvesting (RWH) system because people require more water while its RWH remains unchanged. Note that the last sentence cannot be applied universally or in absolute manner due to the variability of annual rainfall and the difference in buildings’ characteristics.

AbstractIntroduction:Lifestyle is often a decisive factor influencing both, somatic health and mental health. The aim of the study was to evaluate the quality of life, sleep quality and general mental health of nursing students.Material and method:The study used the diagnostic survey method. The study was cross-sectional. A questionnaire was used, which was made available to the respondents via the Internet. The survey included the demographic questionnaire, the Fantastic Life Inventory, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire (PSQI) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-30). A total number of 165 nursing students (151 female and 14 male), aged from 19 to 53, participated in the study. All calculations were made using version 24 of the SPSS statistical package.Results:The general mental health of students, as measured by the GHQ-30 scale, was quite good – the mean score on the GHQ30 scale – M = 9.21 (SD = 7.80). The average lifestyle quality index in the Fantastic Life Inventory Scale (M = 34.99; SD = 6.19) indicated a high quality of lifestyle.As many as 81% (N = 134) of the respondents followed the principles of rational nutrition and consumed a balanced diet, 92% (N = 152) did not abuse alcohol, 86% (N = 142) did not smoke, 93% (N = 154) had never used other psychoactive substances. However, 57% (N = 94) of respondents did not undertake physical activity or undertook it on an insufficient level. Most of the subjects experienced sleep disturbances, the most common being difficulty falling asleep – 78.8% (N = 130), and waking up during the night or early in the morning – 70.3% (N = 116).Conclusions:The quality of lifestyle and general mental health of the respondents was good. A significant influence of the quality of life on the occurrence of mental health disorders has been demonstrated.
Growth and formation of Scots pine stands in Eastern Polissia of Ukraine
Authors: Zhezhkun Anatoly M. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The purpose of the research is to study the current state, features of growth and formation of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands in Eastern Polissia of Ukraine.
The structure of pine stands by origin, age, the density of stocking, site indices, forest types and health condition was analysed. Features of the formation of stands were studied at the permanent sample plots. Visual assessment of health condition, as well as signs of pest and disease damage of trees, other defects and external signs that caused stem defects was carried out. The age structure of pine stands was not optimal: there was an excess of mature stands and a lack of young stands. The health condition of mixed pine stands was relatively better than that of pure pine stands. Mixed pine stands were characterised by high biological resistance and accumulated significant wood stock under regular sylvicultural maintenance. The dynamics of forestry and evaluation indicators of reference pine stands were evaluated and comparison of their growth with stocked pine stands was performed.
High temperature transformation of iron-bearing minerals in basalt: Mössbauer spectroscopy studies
Authors: Kądziołka-Gaweł Mariola , Wojtyniak Marcin , Klimontko Joanna 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The high temperature decomposition of basalt from Lower Silesia (Poland) was followed by Mössbauer spectroscopy investigation. The Fe content of the sample was ~9.0 at.%. The X-ray diffraction analysis shows that augite (37%) and olivine (12%) are major Fe-bearing mineral components. The sample also contains significant amount of anorthite (22%) and nepheline (17%). The sample was heated at various temperatures between 200°C and 1100°C for three hours. Up to a temperature of 500°C changes in contribution of Fe-bearing minerals are insignificant. Heating in the temperature range from 500°C to 1100°C leads to a systematic increase in contribution of iron oxides at the cost of contribution of silicate minerals, like augite and olivine. Mössbauer spectrum obtained after heating at 1100°C showed hematite as the main iron oxide phase. The ratio of Fe3+/Fetot in the non-heated sample was equal to 0.51 and after heating at 1100°C this ratio amounted to 0.89.

Las Alarmantes Implicaciones del Proyecto 1619
Authors: Meier Thomas 
Published: May 2022

Analizo las propuestas del Proyecto 1619, conectado con la Critical Race Theory (CRT). Demuestro que sus postulados son pseudocientíficos, más parecidos al esoterismo que a cualquier metodología racional o científica. Motivaré un punto de vista objetivo, que no quiere ver el mundo a través de lentes ideológicos. Argumento que la propuesta del Proyecto 1619 es falaz, ya que viéndolo con métodos de filosofía de la ciencia, demostraré que no es posible falsificarla.

Background:
The aim of this study was to identify prognostic factors associated with resection of intracranial metastases.

Methods:
A retrospective case series including patients who underwent resection of cranial metastases from March 2014 to April 2021 at a single center. This identified 112 patients who underwent 124 resections. The median age was 65 years old (24–84) and the most frequent primary cancers were nonsmall cell lung cancer (56%), breast adenocarcinoma (13%), melanoma (6%), and colorectal adenocarcinoma (6%). Postoperative MRI with contrast was performed within 48 hours in 56% of patients and radiation treatment was administered in 41%. GraphPad Prism 9.2.0 was used for the survival analysis.

Results:
At the time of data collection, 23% were still alive with a median follow-up of 1070 days (68–2484). The 30- and 90-day, and 1- and 5-year overall survival rates were 93%, 83%, 35%, and 17%, respectively. The most common causes of death within 90 days were as follows: unknown (32%), systemic or intracranial disease progression (26%), and pneumonia (21%). Age and extent of neurosurgical resection were associated with overall survival (P < 0.05). Patients aged >70 had a median survival of 5.4 months compared with 9.7, 11.4, and 11.4 for patients <50, 50–59, and 60–69, respectively. Gross-total resection achieved an overall survival of 11.8 months whereas sub-total, debulking, and unclear extent of resection led to a median survival of 5.7, 7.0, and 9.0 months, respectively.

Conclusion:
Age and extent of resection are potential predictors of long-term survival.

La deontología empresarial
Authors: Apéstegui Estrada Aquiles 
Published: May 2022

El mundo actual se caracteriza por el imprevisible avance de la ciencia y la tecnología.
Las orientaciones generales sobre las actividades económicas y relaciones laborales no están encaminadas a un logro ideal en la dicotomía "Ciencia-Ética" que debe existir para esablecer relaciones laborales venturosas y el progreso sano de la empresa.
Hay vacío moral en las actitudes empresariales del mundo moderno. El avance económico no marcha al igual que el asentamiento ético en la producción de la riqueza; y la vida económica moderna al extenderse en relaciones más amplias y complejas expande también sus responsabilidades sobre la riqueza material y la deontología empresarial.

Concebimos a la polución como un moderno infortunio, más no lo es, constituye una expresión más de la perniciosa indiferencia hacia la salud y la decencia que, en los siglos anteriores, hacían de la peste, un infectible visitante anual.
Encabezamos esta introducción con la apreciación de J. Bronowski sobre la polución que refleja la realidad la situación mundial actual la contaminación de nuestro ambiente tal como la concemos sólo es causada por el descuido, la indiferencia y el afán de reducir el costo de inversión de los equipos que usamos para producir comodidades en detrimento del beneficio común constituido por el aire que respiramos. Mucho se ha escrito sobre polución ambiental por que el presente artículo tratará de circunscribirse a lo que debe hacer el ingeniero industrial al preparar un proyecto de forma de cumplir con este mandato que evite agresiones a la humanidad y que está cmprendida en el Decreto Legilstivo 611 del 09-07-90 título I que a la letra dice: Toda persona tiene el derecho irrenunciable a gozar de un ambiente ecológicamente equilibrado y adecuado para el desarrollo de la vida, y asimismo a la preservación del paisaje y la naturaleza. Todos tienen el deber de conservar dicho ambiente.
What the Apostles Asked Jesus on the Mount of Olives? (Mt. 24, 3; Mk. 13, 4; Lk. 21, 7)
Authors: Парахин Стефан Андреевич 
Published: May 2022

В статье проводится сравнительный анализ вопроса, с которым апостолы обратились к Иисусу Христу на Масличной горе (Мк. 13, 4; Мф. 24, 3; Лк. 21, 7). Несмотря на то, что евангелисты описывают одно и то же событие, каждый из них по-разному формулирует вопрос учеников. Проблематика настоящего обзора определяется следующим тезисом: как можно согласовать между собой вариации текста синоптиков и как ответ Иисуса раскрывает сущность вопрошания апостолов - именно эти вопросы детально разбираются в статье.
The article provides a comparative analysis of the question of the apostles on the Mount of Olives (Mk. 13, 4; Matt. 24, 3; Lk. 21, 7). Despite the fact that the evangelists describe the same event, each of them formulates the question of Christ’s disciples differently. How they can be reconciled with each other and how Christ’s answer helps to understand better the essence of the apostles’ question - these are the questions that are discussed in detail in the article.
