Presentation Of New Ideas Research Articles

Всероссийский студенческий конкурс «Инновационные разработки»

The Department of Engineering Graphics of the RTU MIREA, has been holding the All-Russian Student Competition "Innovative Developments" as part of the All-Russian Student Olympiad in Descriptive Geometry, Engineering and Computer Graphics since 2008. This competition is a stage in the concept of a methodological system for the development of the student's intellectual abilities.
 The article describes the original system for evaluating works at the competition, the principle of forming the jury, the principles for selecting works for the competition. The goals of the competition were announced, namely: approbation and presentation of new ideas, including in the field of graphic disciplines; development of modern information technologies by students; development of cooperation between teams of university departments and production teams. The criteria for comparing past competitions with each other are described, the methodology for assessing the success of the competition, the success of competitions is analyzed by year.
 From 2008 to 2022 inclusive representatives of 24 universities presented 96 works for the competition. The article gives the titles, authors and scientific supervisors of the best projects - winners and prize-winners of competitions who scored 200 or more points, ranked by the points scored for the places taken by the students - participants in the competitions. The geography of participating universities is analyzed, universities are ranked by total achievements. There is a positive trend in the number of works submitted to the competition.
 It is noted that some works became the first step in serious scientific research, for example, “Spatial fractals” by L.A. Zhikharev, later became the topic of his dissertation, “Reflections from curvilinear mirrors in space and on a plane” by O.S. Suntsov are currently one of the registered areas of research at the department.

Dinamika Perkembangan Golkar di Kota Medan: Golkar pada Pemilu 1971

This article aims to discuss how the New Order which was dominated by the army dimension used the Golkar Secretariat as a political machine in defending the interests of the government and the military. Initially, the Golkar Secretariat was only filled with around 64 organizations under it. However, along the way, the number of organizations under the Golkar Secretariat continued to swell. This then required the Golkar Secretariat to reorganize its entire structure, both at the national and local levels. This article uses a historical research method with four writing steps, namely: source search, source criticism, formulation of facts, and presentation of new ideas, a political approach. After various consolidations at the national and regional levels, the Golkar Secretariat which was previously only an organization has now turned into a political party with the name Golkar (Golongan Karya) which aims to become a government tool in the 1971 General Election. The main focus that the author will examine in this article is related to Golkar's political actions, especially those in Medan City in the 1971 elections. Another focus is, the author wants to explore and review issues related to Golkar's presence in Medan City. This is inseparable from Golkar's victory in Medan City in the 1971 General Election, even though at that time Golkar was considered a newcomer party.

The Effect of Human and Social Capital on Entrepreneurial Activities: A Case Study of Iran and Implications

The present study examined two kinds of capital, human and social, on entrepreneurial activities in Hossein Abad Kalpoush Village, Golestan Province, Iran, using primary and secondary data. We used communicative, structural, and cognitive dimensions to evaluate social capital, while we focused on knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy to investigate human capital. Entrepreneurship development is a complex, long-term, and comprehensive procedure with a major role in the economic development of countries. It has turned into the most strategic and major tool for economic promotion in developed countries. Studies on entrepreneurship have proved that there is a correlation between the rate of entrepreneurship activities and national gross product in some countries. Consequently, it is always accompanied by an enhancement of national income and welfare. Entrepreneurship reveals the opportunities, threats, and weak and strong points of environments, including agriculture, by means of a novel methodology and policymaking in order to revolutionize them. This evolution is accompanied by the presentation of new ideas and methods to solve existing and future problems, thereby improving farmers’ economic conditions. The results of this study showed the significant effect of dimensions of human and social capital on entrepreneurial activities.

Pawła Mayewskiego „Tematy”

The quarterly “Tematy”, edited by Paweł Mayewski, was published in the years 1961–1969. In 32 issues the editors published reprints of essayistic texts from elite American magazines, presenting works in the field of sociology, political science and literary criticism. There were also many translations poems of the greatest contemporary American poets. The eminent professors of American universities, as well as many Polish emigre writers, cooperated with Mayewski. Those appeared mainly in the role of translators. Mayewski’s magazine was part of the ideological offensive against communism and the place of presentation of the complex image of American society in the times of the Black people’s struggle for equality, student rebellion against the establishment, counterculture successes and at the same time the triumph of the consumerist model of society. All these issues as well as disputes among American intellectuals about the place of literature in the modern society found expression in the Mayewski’s quaterly. The sixties were a period of exhaustion of the potential of the New Critics’ school and the search for new ways of interpreting literary works. Also in this dimension, the quarterly addressed to the Polish reader has become a place for the presentation of new ideas.

Advanced Systems for Public Transport

It is our pleasure to introduce this issue from Public Transport with a selected set of the papers that were presented at the 12th Conference of Advanced Systems for Public Transport (CASPT12) held by the Department of Transport Engineering and Logistics of the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile and its Bus Rapid Transit Centre of Excellence in Santiago, Chile on July 23–27 2012. CASPT has become the most important conference in the field of design and operations of public transport systems and serves as a forum for the international community of researchers, practitioners and vendors involved in all aspects of public transport planning and operations (with similar emphasis in bus and rail based services). CASPT covers significant contributions to the theory and application of systems and methodologies for advancing public transport planning and operations. CASPT encourages not only the generation and presentation of new ideas, but also hopes to instigate productive collaborations between participants from academia, industry, and government. This version of CASPT was the 12th in the series, and for the first time it was organized in the southern hemisphere and in Latin America. Latin America is very active regarding modernizing the public transport sector, as can be observed in the successful blend between urban planning and transit development in Curitiba, Brasil or in the innovative and amazingly productive Bus Rapid Transit network operating in Bogota, Colombia. These systems have inspired the world. Santiago also offers a very interesting system with full integration between buses and Metro and a 100 % penetration of a touchless card payment device. Transantiago, as the system is called, has very significant achievements, but also has faced severe problems. Both can be easily observed, and from which CASPT attendants learned during the meeting.

Passing the Torch

I begin my tenure as Editor-in-Chief of Pediatric Neurology by acknowledging the contributions of founding editor Kenneth Swaiman and congratulating him on his retirement. Dr. Swaiman and the many individuals who have served as associate editors and editorial board members deserve credit for starting Pediatric Neurology and making it the journal that it is today. My vision is for Pediatric Neurology to be an indispensable source of information for neurologists and others who treat children with neurologic disorders. Pediatric Neurology should publish research findings, clinical observations, and timely reviews that provide essential information for practicing physicians and facilitate the exchange of ideas. An excellent journal should also influence the future direction of the field by providing a forum for debate of provocative topics and the presentation of new ideas. A leadership change provides an opportunity to develop new approaches and novel ideas. We will endeavor to maintain the practical clinical flavor of Pediatric Neurology and to incorporate key scientific discoveries that underpin the neurologic disease of children. We will continue to publish topical reviews and clinical reports. We hope to periodically publish several related reviews in the same issue to create something akin to a mini-symposium. Starting this year we will begin Perspectives in Pediatric Neurology, featuring focused essays on controversial neurologic topics, new hypotheses, or important professional issues. We will create a program to both encourage and facilitate publications by residents and fellows. Another new feature, Visual Diagnosis, is a short report format offering remarkable clinical photographs or videos with unique educational value. Pediatric neurology is a stimulating and dynamic discipline populated by many gifted, thoughtful practitioners. This is a wonderful time to be a pediatric neurologist. If Pediatric Neurology can manage to reflect the excitement of the field and mirror the intelligence of its people, it will succeed.

México: crisis acentuada y privatización. A propósito de la petroquímica

En la interpretación de la actual crisis mexicana, primeramente se exploran algunas condicionantes de la crisis y después se avanza en la combinación de elementos del carácter general de la misma, con otros específicos, como lo es la privatización del patrimonio público y en especial de la industria petroquímica. Asimismo, se señalan algunos factores necesarios para evitar, o en su caso atenuar, la transnacionalización de la industria petrolera y de la petroquímica. Se finaliza con la presentación de varias ideas que permitan avanzar en un programa alternativo al vigente, neoliberal y trasnacionalizador

Comments on 'Possible contribution of triboelectricity to snow - air interactions'

There have been numerous new discoveries of chemical activity at the snow–atmosphere interface over the last 20 years. These observations have stimulated an increasing body of research on snow chemical systems. The findings from this research have led to a general consensus that photochemical processes are the determining control of this snow chemistry. Traditional gasphase chemical reactions have fallen short of fully explaining observed behaviour. Heterogeneous and quasi-liquid layer chemistry has been postulated to play a role in accounting for the discrepancies. The Tkachenko and Kozachkov article is therefore a timely presentation of new ideas for further elucidating snowpack chemical mechanisms. In the following discussion we present recent data relevant to testing hypothesis proposed by Tkachenko and Kozachkov. Some of the hypotheses presented in this paper build upon data from measurements of ozone (O3) in interstitial air of the deep, glacial snowpack at Summit, Greenland, that were presented in our previous work. These experiments reported on positive O3 atmosphere–snowpack gradients, i.e. depleted O3 within the snowpack, and their dynamical behaviour dependent on environmental conditions. We have since taken this research to other locations and further investigated the dependencies of O3 within snow on a variety of parameters. A particular interest of this new research was to further investigate snowpack chemistry in environments with different snowpack conditions (year-round dry, polar snow; seasonal mid-latitude snowpack; snow over permafrost; snow over frozen freshwater lakes). We have also conducted a further 2 years of experiments at Summit, where the measurement depth in the snowpack was increased to 2.5m and experiments were extended year round to include winter observations. Another environment with polar year-round snowpack over glacial ice was investigated at South Pole, Antarctica. From the comparison with these other sites it has become obvious that the Summit snowpack is somewhat unique in that (1) O3 levels within the snowpack are generally higher than observed at other locations, and (2) interstitial air O3 shows a muchmore dynamic dependence on time of day and season than at the other locations that we have investigated. This behaviour might be in agreement with some hypotheses presented by Tkachenko and Kozachkov as they propose that O3 production by the triboelectrical effect would be most pronounced at sites characterised by a thick, glacial snowpack, low humidity, periodic high wind speeds, and low temperatures; all conditions that are typical for Summit. Our series of experiments have shown that different processes dominate snowpack chemistry in non-glacial snowpack. For example, one definite influence on O3 reactions in seasonal, midlatitude snowpack is the role of NO emitted from microbial processes in the subniveal soil. These influences were evident at a high alpine site at Niwot Ridge, CO, in the RockyMountains; snowpack under a canopy at the University of Michigan Biological Station (B. Seok, D. Helmig, M. W. Williams, C. Vogel, P. Curtis, unpubl. data); and snowpack over permafrost at Toolik Field Station, AK (B. Van Dam, D. Helmig, R. Honrath, L. Kramer, C. Toro, unpubl. data). For the Summit snowpack, Helmig et al. noted that O3 atmosphere–snowpack concentration gradients show three

Low-grade gliomas: introduction and overview.

This issue of the Journal of Neuro-Oncology is devoted to recent investigations of low-grade gliomas. The purpose of this issue is not to debate the relative merits and liabilities of different management strategies for low-grade gliomas, but to present new data concerning novel and innovative approaches to evaluating these lesions. The common theme of many of these reports represents a departure from grading systems that primarily depend on a morphology-based analysis from light microscopy to classify these tumors. The purpose of this review is to present the reasoning behind the selection of authors for this issue of the Journal of Neuro-Oncology and to provide a format for presentation of new ideas concerning these interesting tumors. It is clear that standard classification systems that address only the morphological characteristics of tumor cells can not adequately represent the wide variation in biological activity that is found with these lesions. It is hoped that these articles will stimulate further interest and research into low-grade gliomas that will one day lead to more effective therapy.

Gaining acceptance: the effective presentation of new ideas

Quality Assurance professionals are the spearhead of the quality effort. Consequently, it is usually they who need to initiate new programs and novel ways of doing things. Resistance to change, from a variety of sources, is a major obstacle that they must overcome. Through the use of proper preparation, and proven strategies, this common resistance to change can be significantly reduced, if not eliminated. Overcoming this resistance to change is of primary importance when implementing a new idea. This paper presents the causes of resistance and the techniques to overcome them. This facilitates the acceptance of change necessary for improvement in quality.

The Call to Rome and Other Obstacles to State-Level Innovation

Among the important virtues attributed to the American federal system is its stimulus for policy innovation. The states on their own initiative can institute programs that may later become the model for national action. In this sense, America has 50 separately-directed laboratories in which to experiment with the design of public policies. A new approach to a common problem can be tested in one or several states before being considered for adoption nationally. Because the states manage many federal programs, they can apply independent judgment and a knowledge of local circumstances to improve them. Federalism's decentralized administration encourages the conceptualization and presentation of new ideas.' As Nelson Rockefeller once expressed it, the states can offer special scope to creativity, imagination, and innovation in meeting the needs. . of a large and complex society.2 To succeed, innovations must progress from presentation to first adoption to diffusion, and each stage has unique problems.3 Skill is needed to move ideas along this precarious path. A governor or commissioner, anxious to create an innovative administration, may bring into state government a team of able assistants to design new programs. However, the presentation of new ideas often brings the designers widespread attention and career opportunities such as the chance to serve in a larger jurisdiction - the Call to Rome perhaps. The reward for creativity draws talent away from state government at the point when the ideas are being implemented and refined. The understandable urge to

Policy innovation in the Australian states

The communication of new ideas is synonymous with Henry Mayer and his contribution to Australian political studies. As a teacher and communicator, Henry is the acknowledged source of the idea for numerous books and articles. As a researcher, it is the ‘new’ that has attracted him into a variety of areas. As a writer on a range of diverse topics, the presentation of new ideas and approaches has been a persistent theme. As an editor, it was always the fresh approach and the new slant that interested him most. And, as a colleague, he can be as stimulating, and as irritating, as any process of innovation and social change.

The four ages of technology

The theme of the 1972 Summer Computer Simulation Conference, Advancement Through Simulation , was chosen to emphasize the usefulness of the art of simulation in an ever-expanding range of application areas. The primary role of such a conference is to serve as a platform for the presentation of new ideas and developments in the simulation field and to push back and redefine the frontiers of our knowledge and abilities.

ACUTE AND CHRONIC PURULENT OTITIS MEDIA, SINUS THROMBOSIS AND SUPPURATION OF THE PETROUS PYRAMID

Progress in Otolaryngology is found not to show a curve rising progressively. To one who has made the survey each year from the time these summaries were first begun an unevenness in progress is apparent. The literature for 1936 reveals little that is new. However, progress is not always made by the presentation of new ideas or discoveries but depends much more on newer comprehensions of established facts and particularly on the coordination and interpretation of old ideas. During the year under survey much was written, but this was new neither in the originality of the material concerned nor in the observations presented. The foreign otolaryngologists have taken and accepted the outstanding American contributions toward the study and understanding of suppurative lesions of the petrosal pyramid, and their literature is now rich in contributions, all of which in a large measure are corroborative of the American point of view. PURULENT
