Determining Factor In Shaping Research Articles

Legal Regulation of Employment of the Population of Ukraine

The main objective of the study was to identify the key legal norms and aspects of employment of the Ukrainian population The method that has been applied is the functional modeling methodology. In this regard, the purpose of the study was to propose a model of the legal support system to stimulate the demand for labor. In the conditions of the market economy, the employment factor of the population is a determining factor in shaping the socio-economic situation of any country as a whole and, of each individual in particular. Therefore, one of the most important functions of the public administration is the study and proper application of the legal regulation of labor activities. It is concluded that the labor market, as an important and multifaceted area of the economic and socio-political question of society, requires qualified regulation to increase the efficiency of its functioning. Thus, the creation of an effective system of regulation of the sphere of employment is needed as one of the main social measures for the development of society in the XXI century.

Парламентский дискурс на страницах региональной периодики как детерминанта формирования общественного сознания в России начала XX века

The relevance of the study of problems relating to the organization and activities of representative bodies in democratic States is not diminished. The media play an important role in increasing public confidence in Parliament and in parliamentarians, and their activities are a determining factor in shaping the image of the legislature in the public consciousness. In the context of the forthcoming elections of deputies to the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation in 2021, the experience of the media in covering the work of the Russian Parliament, including the experience gained during the years of activity of the State Duma of the Russian Empire, is of particular interest. The subject of the study is the parliamentary discourse on the pages of the periodical press of the Urals, which is a determinant of the formation of public consciousness during the years of the convening and activity of the State Duma of the Russian Empire. The methodology of the study is determined taking into account the concept of T. A. van Dyke on the processing of language in the context of social factors. Understanding the discourse as a text interpreted by the author in accordance with his political position in a specific communicative situation, the authors made an attempt to analyse the texts placed on the pages of the periodicals of the largest region of Russia - the Urals, concerning the convening of the State Duma of the Russian Empire and the practice of the Russian parliament in 1906-1917. Parliamentary discourse is a manifestation of political communication and communication between political actors, including the population of the Russian Empire, who received electoral rights in 1905.
 The cognitive model for analyzing parliamentary discourse takes into account the identity of the transmitting entity (addressee), the message itself, the receiving entity (addressee). An analysis of parliamentary discourse provides an opportunity to identify a mechanism for influencing the public’s perception of the rule of law, the appointment and the effectiveness of parliamentary action.

Optical properties and dielectric relaxations in nanocomposite (ZnO/MgO) with composition and temperature

Nanocomposites and nano ceramics are very important materials due to its wide applications in the field of energy supply and storage, communications, refractory and electrical devices etc. The optical properties, nature of dielectric relaxation mechanism, loss factor etc are very important in deciding their use. Magnesium oxide is basically an insulator material and when combined with a transparent semiconductor like ZnO, its properties change drastically .The method of preparation can also often be a determining factor in shaping a nanoceramics. In the present study mainly composition and its effects in optical and dielectrical properties are probed through Cole-Cole Plots.

The nature and scale of the response to climate change will determine the human health for centuries to come in China

Climate change would pose a range of threat to human health both directly and indirectly. The direct adverse effects of climate change to human health include increased frequency of heatwaves, storms, floods, forest fire and drought. The indirect effects usually mediate through impacts on environmental conditions and ecosystems (e.g., air pollution, food insecurity and under-nutrition, and changing patterns of disease), economies, and social structure (e.g., displacement, migration and conflict). To map out the impacts that climate change is having on human health, and the health consequences of the global policy response, the 2015 <italic>Lancet </italic>Commission on Health and Climate Change and the<italic> Lancet</italic> Countdown: tracking progress on health and climate change has been initiated, with strong collaboration of world-class expertise from multiple disciplines and leading academic institutions around the world. The 2018 report of the <italic>Lancet</italic> Countdown on health and climate change tracks 41 indicators across five domains: Climate change impacts, exposures, and vulnerability; adaptation, planning, and resilience for health; mitigation actions and health co-benefits; finance and economics; and public and political engagement. The report warns that a lack of progress in reducing emissions and building adaptive capacity threatens both human lives and the viability of the national health systems they depend on, with the potential to disrupt core public health infrastructure and overwhelm health services. Therefore, the nature and scale of the response to climate change will be the determining factor in shaping the health of nations for centuries to come. China is the global hotspot in both climate change mitigation and human health protection. Thus, in addition to the annual editions of the <italic>Lancet</italic> Countdown global report, scholars from Department of Earth System Science, Tsinghua University who have been involved in the series of global reports, are invited to prepare the China policy brief, to provide a unique national analysis and policy recommendations for health and climate change. The 2018 edition of China policy brief, prepared by experts from Tsinghua University and Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, reviewed three indicators mostly related to China’s national conditions, i.e. change in labour capacity, exposure to ambient air pollution and coverage and strength of carbon pricing, and proposed the following policy recommendations: (1) Pay more attention to the labour capacity loss driven by climate change in the policymaking process. Curb greenhouse gas emissions and take effective adaptation measures to manage heat stress at work and avoided unaffordable heat-related economic loss. (2) Prioritize measures that both decrease greenhouse gas emissions and reduce air pollution and its related health costs, and incorporate analysis of those benefits into the climate and air pollution control policymaking process in order to fully realize short-term health co-benefits and prevent climate-change-related meteorological conditions that will worsen air pollution in the long run. (3) Ensure full operation of the national ETS and implement ambitious carbon pricing policy as soon as possible. Fully consider the health co-benefits of carbon pricing, speed up the capacity building process, apply carbon pricing broadly across China without delay, and enhance ambition gradually.

Caferiliğin Türkiye’de Modern Bir Kimlik Olarak Kurumsallaşması

In this study, the creation of identity and institutionalization processes of the Ja’faris living in Turkeyare discussed in the context of social change in Turkey. Firstly, the historical process of Jafarismand its position in the Turkish society were examined. The effects of urbanization on the institutionalizationand identity building of Jafarism were investigated. Because social transformations andchanges taking place in Turkey with urbanization and modernization in the last century have led tothe emergence of new religious, ethnic and political identities in the country and to the process ofinstitutionalization.In this study, qualitative research techniques such as documentation, interview and direct observationtechniques were used. The migration processes of Ja’faris living in Turkey were examined utilizingthe Ottoman archive documents. To assess the situation of Ja’faris, living in Turkey today, is made ofinterviews with leaders and members of the Ja’farism. In addition, observations were made in placesof worship and research was conducted by participating in their some rituals.When the obtained data were evaluated, in the process of internal migration, that experienced in Turkey,it is seen that the Ja’faris began to settle in large cities. Because of, has been seen that, Ja’farismin Turkey has been institutionalized in parallel to the urbanization and modernization processes inthe Turkish society. This institutionalization was the determining factor in shaping the identity ofJa’farism. However, it has been observed that the identity of the Ja’farism in Turkey is not homogeneousbut it has diversity. In addition, it was determined that the mosque played a central role in theinstitutionalization of Ja’farism and the ashura ceremonies that performed in Muharram constitute anexample of institutionalization in the modern sense. The problems and demands of Ja’faris living inTurkey, are also included in the study.

Shape characteristics of suspended solids and implications in different salmonid aquaculture production systems

In the interests of optimizing the performance and welfare of fish in aquaculture systems and informing simulated and real-world fish farm operations, the particles in two recirculating (RAS), two semi-recirculating (sRAS) and two flow-through systems (FTS) were analyzed using non-invasive digital image techniques to determine shape factors including equivalent circular area diameter (ECAD), circularity, ellipticity and feret diameter.With the exception of feret diameter, most particle shape parameters showed little variation between systems: the majority of particles had a flake-like structure, while round or elongated particles were relatively rare. The exception was one system which yielded large numbers of elongated particles, most probably originating from intrinsic algae production. Generally, mean circularity and ellipticity of particles was about 0.5 and 0.7 respectively, indicating an ellipsoidal rather than spherical shape. Thus, in a departure from previous approaches, it was asserted that calculations based on an ellipsoidal shape will produce more accurate results than those making an assumption of sphericity, when calculating particle volume and surface area. This result has implications for system design and for theoretical calculations. Mechanical treatment did not appear to exert relevant effects on particle shape, apart from expected reductions in feret width and length.Overall, the present results indicate that particle shape is primarily governed by feed composition and intrinsic biology rather than by production system type. Moreover, an assumption of ellipsoidal shape presents a robust modelling approach for further scientific calculations.

Between incentives and coercion: the thwarted implementation of PES schemes in Madagascar׳s dense forests

The basic principle of PES is to pay individuals or groups to protect or enhance natural resources in exchange for financial or in-kind compensation. One striking feature of the PES concept is the diversity of “PES-like” schemes in the real world, which differ greatly from the theoretical conceptualization of PES. We assume that the wide range of designs and outcomes is due to the use of PES tools in particular environmental, political, and economic contexts. More precisely, existing conservation strategies is a determining factor in shaping the PSE-inspired interventions. Here, we analyze the implementation of an internationally-designed direct payments program in Madagascar. We show that the predominance of a coercive logic in the Malagasy conservation strategy determines the conditions under which the direct payments scheme is implemented. The direct payments scheme is intended to be a complementary device for protected area rather than an instrument for land-use change, thus producing initiatives closer to ICDP than PES. Yet, its potential to supplement the implementation of protected area is currently limited, leading us to discuss the conditions under which this potential could be fulfilled.

A cross talk between codon usage bias in human oncogenes.

Background: Oncogenes are the genes that have the potential to induce cancer. The extent and origin of codon usage bias is an important indicator of the forces shaping genome evolution in living organisms. Results: We observed moderate correlations between gene expression as measured by CAI and GC content at any codon site. The findings of our results showed that there is a significant positive correlation (Spearman's r= 0.45, P<0.01) between GC content at first and second codon position with that of third codon position. Further, striking negative correlation (r = -0.771, P < 0.01) between ENC with the GC3s values of each gene and positive correlation (r=0.644, P<0.01) in between CAI and ENC was also observed. Conclusions: The mutation pressure is the major determining factor in shaping the codon usage pattern of oncogenes rather than natural selection since its effects are present at all codon positions. The results revealed that codon usage bias determines the level of oncogene expression in human. Highly expressed oncogenes had rich GC contents with high degree of codon usage bias.

Hole-transport limited S-shaped I-V curves in planar heterojunction organic photovoltaic cells

Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of planar heterojunction organic photovoltaic cells based on N′,N′-Di-[(1-naphthyl)-N′,N′-diphenyl]-1,1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine (NPB) and C60 are investigated. Through variation of the layer thickness and composition, specifically chemical doping NPB with MoOx, we show that the hole-transport limitation in the NPB layer is the determining factor in shaping the I-V characteristics of NPB/C60 cells.

Seasonal cycle of surface oceanpCO2on the Oregon shelf

[1] Previous work has shown that the Oregon shelf is a sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) during the upwelling season; however, until now, summertime variability in CO2 exchange and sign of the flux for the rest of the year were unknown. Observations of the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) in surface waters from August 2007 to May 2010 from ships and a buoy were used with historical data to produce a composite seasonal cycle for the central Oregon midshelf. These data indicate that the region is highly variable, at times being either a sink or strong source for atmospheric CO2. Interannual wind variability was an important determining factor in shaping the sink/source nature of this system. Late summer and early autumn was most variable relative to the rest of the year. Winter pCO2 was near or slightly below atmospheric levels. Strong shelf-wide undersaturated conditions were first observed in early spring and lasted until the upwelling season became developed. Peak upwelling season pCO2 ranged from 1000 μatm. In July 2008, ship and buoy data revealed previously unobserved high-pCO2 waters (∼1000 μatm) at the surface. These conditions persisted for nearly 2 months and drove this system to be only a weak net annual atmospheric CO2 sink of −0.3 ± 6.8 mol m−2 yr−1. These data showed, for the first time, the seasonal cycle of surface ocean pCO2 on the central Oregon midshelf and the impact of heretofore undocumented pCO2 levels on an estimate of sea-air CO2 flux for this region.

An unrecoverable strangeness: some reflections on selfhood and otherness in South African art

In conversation with Penny Siopis SN: Penny, I think you will agree that we have had a long struggle in this country over the ethics of representing, speaking for and speaking to 'the Other'. One consequence of such debates seemed to be that, at least by the 1980s and 1990s, South African artists came increasingly to feel only comfortable imagining and speaking for themselves, and with turning to their own bodies as their subject. I wanted to ask you what you think the impact of this has been. PS: The phenomenon of artists turning to their own bodies as a way of speaking for themselves in the context we are discussing was more a feature of the 1990s. In the 1980s progressive artists, both black and white, made work that went beyond 'the self' as part of the collective struggle against apartheid. This political position became synonymous with art as a critical practice. With liberation came both crises and opportunities for renewal of selfhood. For many white artists this prompted an inward turn. And many black artists went public. The body figured in both tendencies and was generally manifest through photography. The opening up of the country to the larger 'global' world complicated matters further for artists around questions of representation. It was at this juncture that many turned to their bodies as subject. But, I am not sure that this was because they felt uncomfortable representing 'others'. That would have been very defensive and would have made us somewhat exceptional. Of course, a strong consciousness existed about power, given the horror of our history. This made ethics an issue, but I don't think this was the determining factor in shaping the turn to self-representation I sense we are talking about here. Frankly, I think that the violence of the times, deception and the utopian yearning for release from a very malignant experience of history, all factored in, as did the feminist and postcolonial discourses of the day and wider art-world trends. Also, the different uses of the body presented different inscriptions, making the framing of certain practices in fixed binary self/other terms problematic. I mean, when an artist like Berni Searle uses her own 'black' body as subject in the mid-1990s, is she speaking only for herself?. Is she retreating from otherness? SN: Was one of the most powerful influences here the increasing dominance of 'body politics' in the international art world?' PS: Yes, I think so. There were two strands of critical art practice that addressed selfhood. On the one hand there was the scripto-visual tradition that Mary Kelly typified. This brand of conceptualism was predicated on avoiding mimetic imaging of the body in order to critique the power relations (colonial, gender, class) inscribed in such representation. On the other hand there was the practice of Cindy Sherman, in which mimetic imaging was asserted as a critique of fixed self-hood. Sherman performs multiple subjectivities 'dressed up' as different identities through high artifice colour photography. And it was this mode, and the identity politics discourse attendant on it--such as masquerade, fetishism and so on--rather than Kelly's, which many South African artists adopted. Of course, one might ask what made this type of self-representation so attractive to South African artists and why it took root in the way it did. I have a hunch, but the complexity of the situation needs more intricate exploration. SN: What is your hunch? PS: Complicated. A few fragments of thoughts, rather than anything coherent. The body, in all its contesting inscriptions, signified modernity--an acute consciousness of individual sovereignty, selfhood, subjectivity, but also a crisis of uncertainty about who we were. So the appeal of high artifice lens-based work a la Cindy Sherman was powerful and functioned as model. It was perfect in that it was so clearly constructed. It was the absolute opposite to the authenticity accorded the black-and-white documentary photographic tradition that evidenced 'the struggle', for instance. …

Parametric study of floorbeam cutouts for orthotropic bridge decks to determine shape factors

Viscosity equations of pure fluids in an innovative extended corresponding states framework: I. Modelling techniques

Application of the extended corresponding states (ECS) technique to thermodynamic and transport properties has demonstrated that there are different requirements for conformality of data for these two sets of properties. In addition to the thermodynamic shape factors, derived from accurate equations of state for both the target and reference fluids, there is a need for an additional shape factor, derived from transport property data of the target fluid, in order to fit the transport properties. As a result, a new ECS model is proposed here for viscosity, which uses a single, new viscosity shape factor, which is generated just from viscosity data over the available PρT surface. In this way, there is no need to determine shape factors from thermodynamics. By application to ethane and refrigerant R134a, it is shown that the scale function is a smooth function of temperature and pressure. The scale function is then represented through a neural network, because of the flexibility and the high data fitting capability of that technique. The accuracy of viscosity data representation on the basis of this model is similar to that obtained with the conventional approach, by summing the dilute gas, the excess and the critical enhancement contributions. The non-theoretical and completely heuristic nature of the model also allows its application to the statistical screening of the experimental data. Furthermore, the variables conversion T, P→ T, ρ does not necessarily require an equation of state, as is the case for the historic ECS transport properties model, and this can be carried out by a density model like that recently presented by Cristofoli and co-workers [1,2] for the family of refrigerant fluids.

Specific surface area determinations of U and Pu oxide particles

Important factors that can influence the dissolution rate of a particle deposited in the lung include chemical composition of the particle, crystalline structure, and amount of surface interacting with body fluids. Specific surface area determinations were made on samples of mixed uranium and plutonium oxides from industrial facilities and on samples of depleted uranium oxide, using a 85Kr adsorption technique. Samples of respirable particles collected on filters during aerosolization of these materials for animal exposures, as well as the starting materials, were examined. Specific surface areas ranged from 3 to 40 m 2 g −1. Results were used to determine shape factors used in a simulation model of the retention, distribution, and excretion of particles deposited in the lungs of animals during an inhalation exposure. For two aerosol samples, the specific surface area increased with each overnight heat treatment; this suggests that heat transformed the samples. Measurements made before and after a 30-day dissolution study of uranium oxides in lung serum simulant demonstrated a decrease in specific surface area (∼50%). This suggests that particle size or surface roughness changes as dissolution proceeds.

Changes in Physicians' Attitudes Toward Telling the Cancer Patient

In answer to a questionnaire administered in 1961, 90% of responding physicians indicated a preference for not telling a cancer patient his diagnosis. To assess attitudinal changes, the same questionnaire was submitted to 699 university-hospital medical staff. Of 264 respondents, 97% indicated a preference for telling a cancer patient his diagnosis--a complete reversal of attitude. As in 1961, clinical experience was the major policy determinant, but the 1977 population emphasized the influence of medical school and hospital training. Our respondents indicated less likelihood that they would change their present policy or be swayed by research. Clinical experience was the determining factor in shaping two opposite policies. Physicians are still basing their policies on emotion-laden personal conviction rather than the outcome of properly designed scientific studies.
