Servicewomen’s Personal Traits

The article reveals the theoretical substantiation and empirical research of the servicewomen’s personal traits on the basis of theoretical analysis of scientific, methodological literature. A woman in order to perform military duties must have more or less muscular traits, such as stoutness, perseverance, determination, ability to manage, willingness to take risks, dominance, courage, propensity for leadership, organizational skills, self-sufficiency, independence, strength, and so on. The personal traits of women such as increased emotionality, softness, tactfulness, sensitivity, ability to empathize, tendency to intuitive comprehension of reality, clear maternal orientation have been substantiated. Psychological analysis of servicewomen professional activities indicates that most military service is influenced by such needs as success and power, a sense of social significance of service, participation in solving national problems, proving the value of one’s own personality, self-affirmation through one’s own career. Assessment of the personal qualities of women oriented to military service made it possible to determine that in the characteristics of this category dominate power, dominance, confidence, self-control, etc. It has been proven that the gender identity of servicewomen is the result of an active process that takes place continuously during ontogenesis and is accompanied by a person’s sense of continuity, identity and certainty due to belonging to a certain individual unity. The analysis of the formal-dynamic properties of individuality revealed that, on average, female servicemen show themselves as active, purposeful, determined, with average overall mobility (in all spheres) and low sensitivity adapted to living conditions and military service.

A general deep learning framework for history-dependent response prediction based on UA-Seq2Seq model

A general deep learning framework based on the Unrolled Attention Sequence-to-Sequence (UA-Seq2Seq) model is developed to address the history-dependent response prediction problem. First, the particular traits of the history-dependent response prediction problem are analyzed, which motivate the incorporation of the unrolled gated recurrent unit (GRU) structure and the attention mechanism into the classical Seq2Seq model in natural language processing. In the UA-Seq2Seq model, the Seq2Seq skeleton frees the restrictions on both the input and target mechanical variables. Meanwhile, the novel unrolled GRU structure conforms to the general process of mechanical simulation and manages to establish the gated links with the historical states, which is further boosted by the powerful attention mechanism dedicated to retrieving the super-long-term memory information. To quickly and informatively validate the UA-Seq2Seq model, a numerical experiment based on the cyclic stress–strain response of low-yield-point steel is conducted, whose constitutive behavior depends highly on the loading history. All the training and testing configurations in the numerical experiment are specified, including a novel data normalization method – named nonlinear reference-value scaling – tailored for mechanical variables. The results verify the effectiveness of the UA-Seq2Seq model to reproduce the history-dependent hysteresis loops and confirm its capability to capture the long-term memory effect. Furthermore, a parametric analysis is carried out to demonstrate the necessity of the unrolled structure and the attention mechanism as well as the advantage of selecting the L1 loss metric, following which a qualitative mechanical interpretation of the UA-Seq2Seq model is provided to aid in the intuitive comprehension. Finally, three feasible applications and extensions of the developed framework are introduced conceptually: integration with finite element analysis, outline analysis, and transfer learning to other similar tasks. Therefore, the proposed deep learning framework is able to cover a wide range of scenarios concerning the mechanical history-dependent response simulation in practice, which facilitates its universal employment in the academic research and engineering design.

Peg-on-hole: mathematical investigation of motion of a peg and of forces of its interaction with a vertically fixed hole during their alignment with a three-point contact

The task of the peg-in-hole assembly is a very common task in industry. Despite its intuitive comprehensibility and everyday experience, the industrial assembly faces specific problems. The naive approach of inserting with bare hands an industrial peg inside into an industrial hole can very certainly bring to the jamming and damaging because of a very small gap between them. Therefore, the initial alignment of the details before insertion, so-called peg-on-hole phase, or simply peg-on-hole, is of the special importance in industry to avoid jamming. This paper develops the description and analysis of this phase based on the methods of analytical mechanics. As a common approach, the details in this study are considered as cylindrical, and such that peg is supported at the edge of vertically fixed hole, and could freely move keeping a three-point contact with three degrees of freedom, namely (i) nutation angle or align describing planar motion of aligning parts, (ii) precession angle or slide describing rotational motion around hole axis, and (iii) self-rotation angle or slip describing rotational motion about its axis. The analytical approach implies the system of Lagrange Equations for this particular case of motion, which is called Dynamic Differential Equations (DDE). DDE describes interconnections between motion in three degrees of freedom on one side, reaction forces on another side, and the external forces and torques on the third side. DDE includes geometrical properties of the details, and full descriptions of velocities, normal reactions, and friction forces at the contact points. It is the most general description of the peg-on-hole case. As the example of application, the normal reactions were found for relative large alignment angles far from reduction into a two-point contact, and for a small alignment angles, when system transits to the two-point contact. It was shown that for both cases, reaction forces become larger during alignment because they have to balance the force of gravity. For the larger angles, slip reduces the reaction forces, whereas for small alignment angles, slip and slide increases them.

The end of science? On human cognitive limitations and how to overcome them

What, if any, are the limits of human understanding? Epistemic pessimists, sobered by our humble evolutionary origins, have argued that some parts of the universe will forever remain beyond our ken. But what exactly does it mean to say that humans are ‘cognitively closed’ to some parts of the world, or that some problems will forever remain ‘mysteries’? In this paper we develop a conceptual toolbox for thinking about different forms and modalities of cognitive limitation, which are often conflated by the so-called ‘new mysterians’. We distinguish between representational access (the ability to develop accurate scientific representations of reality) and imaginative understanding (immediate, intuitive comprehension of those representations), as well as between different modalities of cognitive limitation. Next, we look at tried-and-tested strategies for overcoming our innate cognitive limitations, drawing from the literature on distributed cognition and the ‘extended mind’. Most importantly, we argue that this collection of mind-extension devices is combinatorial and open-ended. In the end, we turn the table on the mysterians: for every alleged ‘mystery’, they should demonstrate that no possible combination of mind extension devices will bring us any closer to a solution.

ПОЭТИЧЕСКОЕ ВЫСКАЗЫВАНИЕ КАК ФИКСАЦИЯ ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСКОГО БЫТИЯ

The aim of the article is to highlight a new aspect of Kunstdasein, namely the unleashing of the spiritual and creative dimension of a man, his connection with the world in terms of reading or writing poetry. The poetic intention makes it possible for a man to be fulfilled. Moreover, sensual, psychological, life and other issues associated with the poetic word, lead a person to their metaphysical understanding. The relevance of the article lies in comprehension of the fact that revealing oneself to the world through the discovery of one's uniqueness is a timeless task of human existence. The designation of conditions for the recognition of one's individuality is most important in the era of globalization. Poetry shows the polyphony and the interpretative ambiguity by reducing and improving the text, by softening and avoiding direct statements, thus poetry places a person in the conditions of an active interpreter and co-author. The form and the content offered by a poet show the direction to a certain goal: to the sensual, intuitive comprehension of a person filled with creativity, which is the fixation of Kunstdasein. The person in this case — the viewer (reader) and author (artist, poet) — is the initiator of its spiritual essence. The article gives examples of author's lyrical poems illustrating sensual, philosophical and religious aspects of human existence.

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE POLISH COLONY OF PYSHIVKA IN THE SPRING 1944 IN THE REFLECTION AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE PEOPLE’S STORY TRADITION

Summary. The purpose of the study is to discover how the Ukrainian folk-narrative tradition in the records of the end of the 20th century – the beginning of the 21st century reflects and comprehends one of the numerous Polish-Ukrainian armed conflicts of the mid-twentieth century – the destruction by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the spring of 1944 of the Polish colony Pyshivka. To track how respondents of all ages, genders, cultural and educational backgrounds, ideological and political beliefs and moral values view this event. Also, to find out how their historical memory correlates with the features of Ukrainian-Polish socio-political, economic, economic and moral outlook in the period of Ukrainian independence. The methodological basis is the method of hermeneutics as an art of understanding textual discourse, as well as as commenting on and interpreting a work of art through a mental-analytical and intuitive comprehension of its ideological, artistic, psycho-emotional sense. And also a historical method of research, which is to study the chronological sequence of occurrence, formation and development of events, phenomena or other objects, which contributes to an in-depth understanding of their essence. Scientific novelty For the first time in Ukrainian folklore science and historical science the original source database was collected, and on the basis of it the genesis and dynamics of the epic-historical memory of the local people are analyzed about the unexplored moment of past Polish-Ukrainian confrontation. At the same time, it is traced how this memory influences the formation of the outlook-value and behavioral characteristics of this environment. We conclude that comprehension by the narrative tradition of the destruction of Pyshivka takes place in two planes- socio-political, militaristic on the one hand, and Christian-moral humanistic on the other. There is a tendency that the farther the narrators are from the realities of national liberation struggl not being eyewitnesses themselves the less is their interested in it from print or other sources, so their comprehension becomes more humanistic and moral. They sincerely regret what happened, show a subconscious complex of guilt, and hence focus more on peaceful, friendly attitude to war.

Method based on directed graph and binary decision diagram to break logic loops

Abstract In the probabilistic safety analysis (PSA) of nuclear power plants (NPP), fault tree analysis is often taken as a useful way for reliability evaluation. Logic loops due to mutual dependencies among systems may emerge in fault trees. Logic loops or circular logics can make it complex to get the minimum cut sets. This paper presents a method based on directed graphs and Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) to break logic loops and get the minimum cut sets consistent to previous attempting methods. The paper illustrates this method by giving one linear actual case in nuclear field and non-linear case presented by Vaurio. Utilizing directed graphs and Binary Decision Diagram is effortless for reliability analysts and concerned people in a nuclear field to have an intuitive comprehension for correlations among systems without logic loops. What’s more, directed graphs and BDD can express the minimum cut sets of systems that can be understood intuitively. In addition, this present method is able to solve non-linear logic loops that is hard to operate in fault tree analysis. This proposed non-iterative method is also helpful to design good reliability engineering systems.

The Short Story “I Want My Son to Become a Murderer“ in Deconstructive Analysis

Deconstruction in short story "I Want My Son to Become a Murderer" shows a binary opposition which leads into an understanding that there is no hierarchy opposition. Derrida deconstruction in literary work aims to show logical and rhetorical non-equivalence between what explicitly written and what is implicitly hidden in the text. The deconstruction study shows how the contradictions should be uncovered from the text which called dissemination. The result of the analysis shows the opposition found are: (1) opposition between title and story; (2) opposition between the story and the footnote; (3) opposition between intuitive comprehension and logical reasoning; (4) opposition between fact and fiction; (5) opposition between “I lyric” and many people; and (6) opposition between the writer and the reader.

Podsticanje razvoja rane pismenosti

In this paper we will discuss the possibilities for the systematic stimulation of early literacy development. Listening to adult reading and make-believe reading are the children's first pre-reading activities, and these activities influence the actualization of other people's speech in children's minds. The first global reading, observation, and creation of rhymes, as well as intuitive comprehension of the syllable in a song or a counting rhyme are the outset of the children's ability to manipulate linguistic units and principles of the symbolic representation. The aspirations towards the mental and visual manipulation of linguistic units help them form the appropriate pre-literary predispositions. The next level of encouragement will imply the introduction of the following terms: sentence, word, sound and letter. With such bases, it will be possible to train children to perform word analysis and synthesis, the symbolic representations of linguistic units, until the final introduction into the world of literacy.

Phase noise prediction for static frequency dividers and ring oscillators

This Letter presents a method of predicting the phase noise limits of static frequency dividers. The proposed phase noise model for free-running and injection-locked modes is based on the circuit parameters only. The model provides an intuitive comprehension of the phase noise behaviour of static frequency dividers and is proved to be useful in primary hand calculations. The method was verified against measurement results of a static frequency divider-by-two, operated at 77 GHz and fabricated in a SiGe 0.13 μ m process.

An experimental study to investigate design and assessment criteria: What is important for communication between pedestrians and automated vehicles?

In the near future, more vehicles will have automated functions. The traffic system will be a shared space of automated and manually driven vehicles. In our study we focused on the perspective of vulnerable road users, namely pedestrians, in cooperative situations with automated vehicles. Established communication methods, such as eye-contact between pedestrians and drivers, may no longer work when automated vehicles represent the interaction partner. Therefore, we evaluated several human-machine-interfaces (HMI) in order to implement smooth and comfortable communication. We conducted a two-stage study consisting of an explorative focus group discussion with naïve pedestrians (n = 6), followed by an experimental video simulation study (n = 25) based on the results of the focus group discussion. From the focus group we sought member opinion about various HMI, upon presentation of acoustic and visual communication systems such as projections, displays and LED light strips, in addition to portable communication systems, specifically smart watches. On the basis of the focus group discussion, an evaluation criteria was derived. For the video simulation study, HMI designs were created with variations in position, type and coding of the message, and technology. These were assessed by 25 subjects according to the focus discussion derived evaluation criteria: recognizability, unambiguousness, interaction comfort and intuitive comprehensibility. The results show that direct instructions to cross the street are preferred over status information of the vehicle and that large-scale text-based messages from the vehicle to the pedestrian, deliver better results. Design recommendations for HMIs for communication between automated vehicles are derived, and the extent external HMIs may supplement informal communication strategies such as vehicle movement or braking maneuvers, is discussed.

Genome-wide identification of the fatty acid desaturases gene family in four Aspergillus species and their expression profile in Aspergillus oryzae

Fatty acid desaturases play a key role in producing polyunsaturated fatty acids by converting single bonds to double bonds. In the present study, a total of 13, 12, 8 and 8 candidate fatty acid desaturases genes were identified in the Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus nidulans genomes through database searches, which were classified into five different subfamilies based on phylogenetic analysis. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis was performed to characterize conserved motifs and gene structures, which could provide an intuitive comprehension to learn the relationship between structure and functions of the fatty acid desaturases genes in different Aspergillus species. In addition, the expression pattern of 13 fatty acid desaturases genes of A. oryzae was tested in different growth stages and under salt stress treatment. The results revealed that the fatty acid desaturases genes in A. oryzae were highly expressed in adaptive phase growth and up-regulated under salt stress treatment. This study provided a better understanding of the evolution and functions of the fatty acid desaturases gene family in the four Aspergillus species, and would be useful for seeking methods to improve the production of unsaturated fatty acids and enhance efforts for the genetic improvement of strains to adapt to the complex surrounding environment.

Photonic potential for TM waves.

We investigate the application to nanophotonic devices, including integrated nanoscale wave plates and slot waveguides.

Музичне сприймання в структурі музикальності балетмейстера

The article is devoted to comprehension of musicality of the choreographer as a dynamic aggregate and interconnection of his musical, personal and professional abilities. The central “core” of musicality is the emotional experience of music, through which the content of the musical composition is expressed. The experience of music is formed by the perceived holistic musical image. For the choreographer, the professional level of music perception is the professional competence that influences the process of creating a choreographic work of a choreographer's concept, the construction of a sequence of choreographic movements in individual fragments and in dramatic integrity, as well as the process of teaching, tutoring work with artists. For the choreographer, the notion of musicality includes the versatile properties of his personality, and not only musical, for example, perfectly developed fantasy, imagination, a sense of energy and movement in the interaction of time and space, visual and muscular memory. The perception of the musical image is a leading component in the musical-choreographic activity of the choreographer, which involves understanding the artistic meaning of music through the visual, emotional, kinetic-motor, auditory, and organic mediation. The peculiarity of musical perception of the choreographer is the mediation through various receptions of reflection in body movements, plastic dance images. In the practical plane, the comprehension of the artistic meaning of music takes place through plastic modeling, which begins with the perception of music (unconscious work of imagination, intuitive comprehension of meaning, creative imagination), analysis of intonational-semantic and structural-analytic components of music (intellectual principle, a priori norms) and the formation of an image movement (verbal integral concept of a choreographic work). The image of the movement is the culminating moment of comprehension of the musical meaning, which enables musical plastic modeling. The professional direction of the interpretation of the musical image clearly defines the ways of developing the musicality of the choreographer in areas of emotional, sensory and intellectual comprehension of musical meaning. Keywords: musicality of the choreographer, musical perception, musical image, means of musical expression, plastic modeling, image of movement.

JURIDICAL AND PHENOMENOLOGICAL HERMENEUTICS OF HUMAN RIGHTS FUNDAMENTS / HERMENEUTICA JURÍDICA E FENOMENOLÓGICA DOS FUNDAMENTOS DE DIREITOS HUMANOS

This article explores the issue of international Human Rights proclamations and their vague application concerning the rights disposed. It also elaborates on the phenomenological philosophy in Edmund Husserl and its application as a scientific research method, emphasizing in applications in juridical research. It proposes the implementation of the phenomenological method as a solution to fulfill the need of understanding the essence of Human Rights as proclaimed in legal documents. Phenomenology, in Edmund Husserl is understood as a philosophy that allows an intuitive comprehension of the essence of things. That being, the phenomenological method of scientific research would be able to find the essence of phenomena and their fundamentals. It is a descriptive, phenomenological research, having as methodology the investigation of international legal documents that talk about ratified Human Rights in countries in all five continents, as well as the Brazilian juridical ordering and the existing lack of fundament concerning Human Rights such as freedom, equality and dignity.

A Standing Function Evaluation System Based on Virtual Light Touch Contact and Factor Analysis.

This paper proposes a standing function evaluation system on the basis of factor analysis for indices related to standing characteristics. For this approach, five standing function factors were checked in a large-scale experiment using the results of extraction from 48 indices based on factor analysis. Five factors were extracted from these indices, and the related score radar charts indicated that most factors changed with age. The evaluation results suggest that the system facilitates intuitive comprehension of standing-related factors based on these charts.

Resolving data sparsity by multi-type auxiliary implicit feedback for recommender systems

Data sparsity is a well-recognized issue for Top-N item recommendation, which depends on user preference gathered from their historical behaviors (i.e., implicit feedback). However, only few works have considered multiple types of auxiliary implicit feedback (e.g, click, wanted) when building recommendation models. This paper aims to resolve the data sparsity problem by (a) generating target data (e.g., purchase) from a linear regression of auxiliary feedback, and from the nearest neighbors with a set of purchased items in multiple dimensions; (b) proposing a novel ranking model to accommodate both the original and generated data. We provide an intuitive comprehension regarding the relationship between one kind of auxiliary feedback and target feedback. A series of experiments are conducted on two real-world datasets and demonstrate the superiority of our approach to other counterparts.

Geometric Views of Partial Correlation Coefficient in Regression Analysis

By describing the geometric analogues of the concepts from various perspectives, this work aims to provide a richer and intuitive comprehension of the concept of partial correlation coefficient in the regression analysis, especially for beginning students. Based on a simple and strictly correct geometric framework, this article geometrically illustrates the concept of partial correlation coefficient in regression analysis from the views of the Frisch-Waugh-Lovell Theorem, partial F test statistics, and the comparisons with other levels of correlation coefficients. In our opinion, the geometric approach sheds lights on the regression analysis as it provides a richer and more concrete understanding for readers, especially for beginners. This paper can also be served as a supplementary reading material for serious beginners.
