Resident’s Perception towards Green Spaces Urban Areas of Mirpur AJK Pakistan, A Cross-Sectional Study

Urbanization with increasing proportion of the population living in cities limits access to nature and increases exposure to environmental hazards, such as air and noise pollution. Green spaces offer solutions by increasing the quality of urban settings, promoting sustainable lifestyles, and improving both the health and the well-being of urban residents. Aim of the study was to assess perceived advantages and disadvantages of urban green spaces (UGS). A cross sectional study, was conducted on the 200 residents of Mirpur district of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Pakistan. There were 54.5% of males and 44.5% of females in the study sample and 79% (n=79) of them were of age between 31-40 years. 164 (82%) individuals in the collected sample fall into high educational level. For positive attributes of urban green spaces most visitors reported strongly agree response. The highest strongly agree response (62%) is for importance of parks. Promotion of elders’ and physical health also showed strongly agreed responses of 60% and 58% respectively. The agreed response was the highest for ‘neighbors’ meetup’ (43.5%) and for the rest it was mental health (40%), people likeness (37%) and property value (38.5%). Commercial encroachment was the highest strongly agreed response (30.5%) and time wastage was the highest strongly disagreed response (21.5%). Visitors reported strongly agree response to scenic beauty (67.5%), air quality (49%) and reduce heat wave (40.5%). Agreed responses were topped by environmental conditions (37%) followed by almost equal responses for rainfall source (25.5%), biodiversity and noise pollution (23%). Fast and unplanned urbanization is threatening UGS. Our study highlighted visitors’ perception about UGS which would help in their development and improved quality.

INTELLIGENCE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE IN POST-NON-CLASSICAL SCIENTIFIC RATIONALITY (REVIEW AND ANALYTICAL NOTES)

Relevance. Intelligence as a complex phenomenon and the mental property of a person is studied in various interpretations, in the social and humanitarian discourse. The works of philosophers, political scientists, sociologists, cult urologists, psychologists, teachers and representatives of other sciences are devoted to the issues of the essence, structure, functional and activity characteristics of intelligence. The interdict capillarity and systemic complexity of the phenomenon of intelligence raises the question of the relationship and conjugation of this concept with the current level of development of psychological knowledge within the framework of modern scientific rationality. The disclosure of the psychological properties of intelligence makes it possible to objectively cognize its social and subjective nature.
 Materials and methods. The correlation and integration of knowledge about intelligence as a subjective quality and the quality of a person is manifested in the conjugation of modern psychological scientific rationality. The study of psychological knowledge about intelligence is carried out through the consistent and complex application of axiological, activity, systemic, subjective approaches and modern concepts in the philosophy of science. To consider and build an objective picture of psychological knowledge about intelligence in modern scientific rationality, a systematic and analytical method, synthetic and analog studies, a deductive method and a method of conceptualization, abstraction and generalization are applied.
 Results. Knowledge of the psychological characteristics and features of the functioning of intelligence as a dynamic, emotional, intellectual and value phenomenon from the standpoint of post-non-classical scientific rationality allows us to consider it as a complex self-developing system inherent in a certain social subject and being a product of the development of culture.
 Discussions and Conclusions. The modern development of psychological knowledge indicates that today psychology considers various phenomena and complex psychosocial systems. As for the phenomenon of intelligence, its characteristics, from the standpoint of post-non-classical scientific rationality, are intellectuality, dynamism, communicativeness, subjectivity, activity and value-semantic properties and qualities that interact and are realized in a complex social environment, functioning in their systemic totality.

Loneliness and Mood

Loneliness is commonly conceived of as a topic under the purview of psychology. Empirical research on loneliness utilizes a definition of psychology as essentially subjective, i.e. as a first-personal mental property an individual can have. As a first-personal mental property, subjects have, as it were, privileged access to their state of being lonely. Rehearsing some well-known arguments from later Wittgenstein, I argue that loneliness – contrary to an unargued assumption present in several academic engagements – is not subjective in the sense that whether or not a person is lonely does not in all cases hinge on that person’s subjective mental states. This becomes apparent when considering cases of alienation from self-knowledge (Moran 2001). Using Heidegger’s notion of being-in-the-world and being-with I argue that such cases from alienation point towards the notion that loneliness is not merely a subjective feeling, but a categorically different privation of the fundamental mode of being with others.

The source of eventive implications of mental property adjectives and nouns in Polish

AbstractIn Generative Linguistics of the past 40 years an ever increasing stress was put on the intricacies of the information load contributed by morpho-syntactic structure above the level of the root. Roots, seen asnaked roots, entities without grammatical categories and arguments to be introduced into morpho-syntactic representations of clauses, contain basic encyclopaedic and phonological information. This paper seeks to show that the information coded by roots has to be more extensive; Roots representing Mental Property meanings in Polish have to apportion eventive arguments to explain diversities in the production of morpho-syntactic structures. To capture some interesting facts about the complementation of Mental Property adjectives in Polish and eventive implications of their cognate nominals, we have to resort to the representation of roots as entities responsible for apportioning arguments. Otherwise, our model would lack descriptive adequacy and it would make wrong predictions about Mental Property morpho-syntax of Polish. Extensive material of Polish Mental Property adjectival and nominal forms shows that eventiveness of some Mental Property adjectives and nominals is not a property of morpho-syntactic structures building such forms, but rather an idiosyncratic property of individual roots with Mental Property meanings. These findings may suggest that Mental Property adjectives and nominals in other languages may require a re-analyses which would take under consideration a possible non-structural, but lexical source of their eventiveness.

Benefits of Museums as Media and Learning Resources in Social Studies Subjects for Junior High School Students

This study aims to examine the existence of the museum as a medium and source of learning for students, especially in junior high school. The author chose the museum as the object of study which is a medium and source of learning for students, namely because the museum has several functions such as: 1. Collection and safeguarding of natural and cultural heritage, 2. Documentation and scientific research, 3. Conservation and preservation and 4. Dissemination. and the distribution of knowledge to the public. Museums should provide various accesses for visitors so that they can have the opportunity to use facilities and services, research and study collections, including consultation with museum staff. The conclusion of this study is that the existence of museums in the world of education is so needed, including in learning Social Sciences at the Elementary School level to the Upper Advanced Level. In the museum they can observe the relics of the past directly. The learning process can also be carried out by visitors who are not from the education community. Visitors to the museum are also able to increase their mental and intellectual property to know the past of an ethnic or community group. In museums, collection research can also be done, which can provide opportunities to produce new findings. This research is useful to arouse students' interest in knowing the past through observations of historical objects. The results of the study show that museums can motivate students and make it easy for students in the social studies learning process. The research method used in this paper is a qualitative research method of literature study. With the qualitative method of literature study, the author first collects books from the library. Researchers also seek information about the museum by conducting a library study, namely making direct visits to the library. In addition to library studies, researchers also seek and collect sources by utilizing digital technology. From the results of the research and discussion it can be concluded that the use of the Huta Bolon Museum as a source and media for social studies learning for junior high school students in Samosir Regency has a pretty good impact and provides enthusiasm for students in participating in the learning process about historical objects. The Huta Bolon Museum which has various collections in the form of statues (Tunggal Panaluan, , Boras Pati, Pangulu Balang), Buku Lak-lak, war tools (Busur and piso), tools used at home (Panituan, Hurhuran , Gampil, Sondi, Piso Halasar, Sikkop), gambling game tools (Dadu Guling and Janggar-janggar etc). Utilization of the Museum Huta Bolon Museum as a source and media for learning social studies which is visual in nature in the form of a collection of museum objects is a source and media for learning history that is representative to add insight and knowledge about events in the past

Adaptive segmented webpage text based malicious website detection

Malicious websites pose a great threat to the physical and mental health and property security of netizens, and malicious website detection is a key research topic in network security . Many researchers first extract features from webpage texts, and then detect malicious websites through deep learning methods . However, due to the limited sequence length that the deep learning model can process, researchers generally directly discard the webpage text that exceeds the maximum sequence length (MSL), which will affect the website detection accuracy to a great extent. Therefore, a malicious website detection model based on adaptive segmented webpage text is proposed. By ensuring the integrity of webpage text, the malicious website detection results are significantly improved, which greatly contribute to the accurate handling of malicious websites in cyberspace. Firstly, according to the MSL set by deep learning model and the length of webpage text, the number of text segments of each webpage text is determined, and rich features are extracted from multiple spaces of each segmented text through Multi-Head Self-Attention (MHSA) mechanism. Secondly, in order to solve the problem of missing context continuity caused by segmentation, the hidden vector obtained by Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (BILSTM) in the previous segment is combined with the embedding vector of the latter segment, and then input into the MHSA network . Thirdly, combining the results of multiple segments into multi-channel vector, classification is carried out by multi-channel text convolution (MCTC) network. In order to avoid misclassification of website type caused by webpage text alone, the digital certificate and Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of website are used to assist in detecting malicious websites. Multiple comparison experiment results on the malicious and benign website datasets demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art comparison models, and experiment results on public text classification datasets demonstrate that the proposed model has strong generalization ability .

PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS OF OIL SPILL IN SHENZHEN PORT

Influencing Factors of Gastrointestinal Function Recovery after Gastrointestinal Malignant Tumor.

Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor with a high incidence in the world, and the incidence rate only increases every year. Because of the loss of mental property caused by surgery and postoperative recovery treatment, it has become a difficult problem for many families to solve. Exploring the factors affecting the recovery of gastrointestinal function after surgery to accelerate the recovery has become one of the important research topics of current medical experts and scholars. The purpose of this article is to explore the factors affecting the recovery of gastrointestinal function after gastrointestinal malignancies. In this paper, firstly through experimental investigation, the fasting time and operation method of patients undergoing gastrointestinal malignant tumor surgery are used as variables to conduct a controlled experiment, and the first defecation time, exhaust time, and bowel sound recovery of the experimental subjects after surgery are recorded. Changes in time and other indicators are compared to verify whether they affect the recovery of gastrointestinal function. Experimental data showed that the recovery time of bowel sounds was 29.10 ± 11.09 h in patients with fasting time less than or equal to 2 days after operation, the time of first exhaustion was 28.75 ± 27.80 h, and the time of first defecation was 54.70 ± 39.40 h. The recovery time of bowel sounds in patients with fasting time longer than 2 days was 40.47 ± 9.40 h, the first exhaust time was 71.40 ± 17.54 h, and the first defecation time was 98.30 ± 28.16 h. Therefore, resuming diet as soon as possible after operation is beneficial to the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies.

I. A. Ilyin аbout Faith Phenomenon

ПСИХОЛОГІЧНИЙ ЗМІСТ ФЕНОМЕНА РЕФЛЕКСІЇ ЯК ВЛАСТИВОСТІ, ПРОЦЕСУ, СТАНУ

Introduction. The article presents a theoretical analysis of the concept of reflection and related concepts in the context of psychological knowledge. The historical aspect of the study of reflection in psychology is considered, the scientific literature on the problem of research is analyzed, and the variety of forms of reflection and approaches to its consideration is shown. The article substantiates the significance of the position on the possibility and necessity of studying reflection not only as a mental property that has an individual measure of expression, but also as a process and state.Purpose. Investigate the psychological meaning of the concept of reflection as a property, process and state.Methods. Review and analytical research of scientific sources, synthesis and introspection.Originality. The relevance of the research is due to the unprecedented complexity of the phenomenon of reflection, the presence of a large number of approaches to its study, which is expressed in the absence of a unified system of classification of forms, types and levels of organization of reflexive activity, which reflect its various aspects.Reflection plays an important role not only in the professional sphere, but also in many other areas of human activity, contributing to the formation of a holistic vision of reality, which includes the subject himself. It is reflection that allows us to make the processes of cognition, self-knowledge and life-creation more purposeful and qualitative.Conclusion. The specificity of reflection as a subject's ability lies in its focus not on the external world, but on the very way of its cognition, which makes it possible to realize and regulate life activity and creates the prospect of a fundamentally new type of interaction with reality, given not directly, but in the forms of thinking.Reflection is a kind of cognitive activity of the subject, although it is directed at himself. Fixing the connection with the cognitive sphere requires time, effort, and certain abilities. However, it is reflection that allows us to make the processes of cognition, self-knowledge, existence and life-creation of a person more purposeful and qualitative, and expands the ability to externally influence the development of the individual and form his internal mechanism of self-development. Today we can talk about the intensive development of reflexive movement, which significantly expands the traditional ideas about certain psychological patterns, but also has a General scientific and even ideological significance. It is already possible to conduct a sufficiently differentiated analysis of methodological orientations, various approaches with independent theoretical, methodological and experimental developments, and most importantly, to qualify the nature of the interaction of these orientations as synchronizing. Such a wide range of research in this area is due to the fact that reflexive processes are included in the regulation of almost all spheres of human activity. The latter shows the importance of studying this basic, fundamental property.

Data Expression and Protection of Intellectual Property Education Resources Based on Machine Learning

With the improvement and growth of instructional informatisation, the contradiction between the open supply of academic resources, information expression, and mental property safety is turning into greater acute. Remedying the relationship between the two is very necessary for the overall performance of records expression of academic assets and the advent of true surroundings for mental property protection. The safety of mental property rights is to shield the rights and pursuits of know‐how owners, defend the strength of information producers to produce knowledge, and defend the supply of academic sources sharing. The data expression and protection of intellectual property education resources based on machine learning is a kind of protection tool for the intellectual property of education resources developed using the characteristics of automation, real‐time monitoring, and growth of machine learning. It can prevent web crawlers from harming e‐commerce websites, prevent them from stealing the intellectual property of e‐commerce websites, and analyse web crawlers that visit websites to prevent important website data from being stolen by them. From this point of view, based on the relationship between the fact expression of instructional sources and the safety of mental property rights, this paper advocates to promote the records expression and safety of mental property rights of academic sources from a couple of perspectives.

A Preliminary Exploration of the Necessity of Establishing a Medical Cosmetology Arbitration System in China

In recent years, Chinese people’s high pursuit of cosmetology and the development of economic globalisation and informatisation have driven the rapid development of the medical cosmetology industry in China. However, at the same time, many problems have occurred in the medical cosmetology industry, which have then caused many medical cosmetology disputes as they have caused certain harm to the physical and mental health and property rights of beauty seekers. However, due to various factors, it is not easy to solve these disputes, and only relying on the power of litigation is limited, because there are some inevitable defects in litigation. In this case, through a preliminary exploration, the researcher believes that arbitration, as an alternative dispute resolution method, has unique advantages and is sometimes an effective solution. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a medical cosmetology arbitration system in China.

ПСИХОЛОГІЧНІ ОСОБЛИВОСТІ РОЗВИТКУ КОГНІТИВНОГО КОМПОНЕНТА САМОСТІЙНОСТІ СУЧАСНИХ ПІДЛІТКІВ

В статті обґрунтовується актуальність і доцільність дослідження феномена самостійності сучасних підлітків. Зазначено, що досліджуване поняття є багатокомпонентним утворенням, а, відтак, у його структурі виокремлено 4 компоненти: когнітивний, мотиваційно-ціннісний, поведінковий та емоційний. Статтю присвячено вивченню когнітивного компонента феномена самостійності сучасних підлітків. Метою дослідження є визначення рівня розвитку когнітивного компонента через його складові – креативність, яка характеризує бажання людини генерувати нові ідеї та втілювати їх у життя, а також невпинно шукати можливості для розвитку, та рефлексивність, завдяки якій підліток спроможний усвідомити результати власних дій і вчинків, підбити підсумки та, за необхідності, скорегувати свої дії в правильне русло. В теоретичній частині подано аналіз основних підходів зарубіжних та вітчизняних вчених до проблеми розвитку когнітивного компонента феномена самостійності в сучасній психології. Емпірично визначено особливості розвитку показників когнітивного компоненту креативності сучасних підлітків, зокрема прояву допитливості, уяви, складності вирішуваних завдань і схильності до ризику. Виявлено переважання середнього рівня уяви, складності вирішуваних завдань, схильності до ризику, компонент допитливості займає рівень вище середнього в досліджуваних, що є віковою характеристикою підлітків. Досліджено і проаналізовано рівень розвитку рефлексивності сучасних підлітків. Визначено переважання низького (який характеризується труднощами у плануванні своєї діяльності, відсутністю здатності до аналізу своїх помилок, неможливістю використовувати здобутий досвід у вирішенні складних ситуацій, труднощами у регулюванні власної поведінки) та середнього рівня розвитку рефлексивності (ознаками якого є здатність до планування своїх дій та їх аналіз, а також аналіз учинків інших людей, проте рефлексивні процеси мають нерегулярний характер, а рефлексивний аналіз є поверховим). Обґрунтовано значущість креативності та рефлексивності, як показників когнітивного компонента креативності в загальній структурі самостійності, та її розвитку впродовж підліткового віку.

Comments on Broome’s ‘Rationality versus Normativity’

ABSTRACT Broome’s target in his paper is the popular claim that rationality consists in responding correctly to reasons. He takes this to be the reductive claim that rationality reduces to responding correctly to reasons, which in turn he takes to entail that the property of rationality is identical to the property of responding correctly to reasons. It is this identity claim that Broome attempts to refute by showing that the properties that are supposed to be identical cannot be so because they themselves do not share all properties. In this short commentary, I shall say something about the overall structure of Broome’s argument. More specifically, I shall argue that in its current form his argument rests on a very controversial premise, but that it can be replaced with an argument that avoids it and has wider significance. I shall also question the way Broome deals with the so-called Kantian argument against his own argument. Finally, I shall sketch an alternative view of rationality, which agrees with Broome that it supervenes on the mind, but disagrees with him on the question of whether it itself is a purely mental property.

REFLECTIVENESS AND REGULATORY POTENTIAL OF PERSONALITY

The article presents the results of a study of the role of reflection in the regulatory sphere of personality. Self-regulation is the most common function of the psyche, the purpose of which is to preserve its integrity. At the individual level, self-regulation is manifested in specific functions of the holistic regulatory process of behavior and activities: planning, modeling, programming, evaluation of results and correction. Individual differences in the mechanism of self-regulation are manifested in the stylistic features and regulatory properties of the individual. Ontological analysis of reflexivity explains its regulatory function, which is to determine the individual’s own boundaries through awareness of the basics of their own actions and activities. This understanding of reflection allows it to be included in the regulatory potential of the individual. An empirical study of the relationship between the processes of reflection and the components of self-regulation has shown that the greatest role in the functioning of the components of self-regulation of personality is played by the processes of personal reflection. They provide not only the planning and programming of future behavior, but are involved in monitoring and evaluating the results of activities. The processes of social reflection are related to the components of self-regulation that most need to take into account the position, attitudes and opinions of others. It is established that as a mental regulatory property reflexivity has a negative relationship with independence. The development of reflexivity can reduce the ability of individuals to make independent decisions in difficult life situations, be the cause of indecision and external passivity.

The Overview of Mental Workload of Health Safety and Environment Workers in Oil and Gas Industry

Introduction: PT. Pertamina RU IV Cilacap is a national oil and gas industry that has the largest refinery in Southeast Asia that manages raw materials for other refinery units in Indonesia to be reprocessed into fuel. The size of the refinery can illustrate the complexity of the system run by this unit. The HSE Unit in this company has a great responsibility to maintain the worker safety in the refinery. It is necessary to measure mental workload on HSE workers. This is because if the mental workload is not monitored, it can cause fatality, in this case, work accidents as a result of lack of supervision from HSE workers and mental PAK related to HSE workers resulting in excessive mental workload or property loss as an outcome of excessive mental workload. So, it is important to portray the HSE mental workload because of its responsibility to secure the health, safety and environmental issues. The purpose of this study was to describe the heavy mental workload on PT. Pertamina RU IV Cilacap. Method: This research was a quantitative descriptive designed study. Data were obtained by conducting interviews and using the NASA-tlx questionnaire on 71 respondents. Results: As many as 35 respondents had heavy mental workloads and 31 respondents had very heavy mental workloads. Conclusion: HSE workers at PT. Pertamina RU IV Cilacap has a heavy mental workload and even tends to be very heavy.Keywords: mental workload, NASA-tlx, oil and gas industry

Does economic development reduce household size? Evidence from India

Due to the recent rise in economic development the family sizes in developing countries have become small. This phenomenon demands several policy considerations. Is India ready for it? In this perspective, the paper investigates the impact of a higher level of economic development on average household size in India from 1991 to 2011. Variables such as a higher level of education, health outcomes, the extent of inequality, and urbanization have a negative effect on the average household size. The lower level of poverty is associated with lower level family size in the long run, whereas, infrastructure has a mixed effect. Results show that different religious and social groups have an effect on the family size in India. The results are consistent in state and household level analysis and conclude that a higher level of economic development reduces the family size. Smaller family size faces several problems such as child-rearing, higher divorce rates due to marital conflicts, degradation of children's mental health, land and property disputes, and a low transfer of financial support from children to elderly parents. Therefore, not only the government needs to take cognizance and solve these problems, but also needs to find an appropriate balance between work and family, which is missing currently. This lesson can be useful for many other developing countries to cope up with the reduction in family sizes.
