Epistemology and History of Science in the reflections of Evandro Agazzi

The merit of Evandro Agazzi’s epistemological reflection can be found in the following proposal: the history of science should be understood and studied as a meeting point between philosophical reflection and scientific research. Science and philosophy are thus closely united. In the words of Kant, science without philosophy is blind and philosophy without science is empty. Not only that: for Agazzi, the philosophy of science helps society as a whole to better understand the cultural (and human) value of science. Conversely, the history of science helps us to understand the perennially progressive nature of our knowledge. Why is this so? Because we can never disregard the intrinsic historicity of scientific knowledge.The historical approach to science also helps us to understand how scientific development always takes place within different choices. Conversely, epistemological reflection also helps historical research to better understand the development of our cognitive and technical heritage. On this basis, Agazzi worked - in collaboration with Ludovico Geymonat - to spread the institutional presence of the philosophy of science and the history of science (as well as mathematical logic) in universities, especially in Italy. Today, all of us are like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants, since we can better understand the connections between science and philosophy precisely because we can avail ourselves of Evandro Agazzi’s historical contributions.

An experimental study on receiving Audio Descriptions in Iran

Despite the growing body of research on audience satisfaction, Audio Description (AD) in Iran is still in its early stages of scientific development. Given the non-professional nature of AD production for Persian films in Iran, this research aimed to determine whether the current AD services meet users' needs and satisfaction. This study is based on a questionnaire survey of 30 blind and partially sighted individuals. The results indicate that AD services in Iran are limited to movies, revealing a significant gap between supply and demand. AD in Iran faces several challenges, including low quality, a lack of specialists, and insufficient theoretical research. From the audience's perspective, common issues include inappropriate timing, unsuitable vocabulary, subjective judgments, premature disclosure of story elements, neglect of actors' characteristics, and a disregard for standard guidelines in favour of self-made norms in descriptions. However, the existing Persian AD does help the audience understand the film's storyline. Our experimental research shows that participants prefer objective AD with detailed descriptions.

The spatial-temporal evolution patterns of landslide-oriented resilience in mountainous city: A case study of Chongqing, China

Cities, as complex systems with multi-interconnected subsystems, face significant challenges from both rapid urbanization and climate change. Ensuring high resilience in urban areas is essential for managing these dynamic risks effectively. This study introduces an innovative, data-driven approach to quantitatively analyze the spatial-temporal evolution patterns of urban resilience, validated through a case study of Chongqing, a representative mountainous city in China. Based on historical landslide data from Chongqing (2010–2020), which includes 4464 events, along with indicator data from the Chongqing Statistical Yearbook, we developed a comprehensive assessment framework. This framework incorporates 33 variables, covering indicators of physical-environmental resilience (PER) and socio-economic resilience (SER). The model integrates the Random Forest (RF) algorithm, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Coupling Coordination Degree (CCD) model. Key findings include: (1) Social development in mountainous cities like Chongqing follows a point-to-area pattern. Although there is an overall increase in SER, the CCD in more developed areas (Chongqing urban circle) was generally higher than in less developed areas (northeastern and southeastern Chongqing) (2) The PER model demonstrated exceptional performance (AUC values consistently above 0.95). Spatiotemporal evolution models reveal that Chongqing maintains a high overall PER. Notably, from 2019 to 2020, the proportion of administrative units classified as highly resilient peaked at 24.5%, marking a historical high. (3) Multi-year average rainfall primarily impacts PER (ranked first), while Gross Domestic Product (GDP) significantly affect SER. The development of multi-dimensional recovery indicators provides a robust framework for assessing resilience against landslides in mountainous cities. The CCD model illustrates the importance of regional dynamic coordinated development in resilience trajectories. This study provides a detailed blueprint for the scientific development of resilient mountainous cities, emphasizing the need for a spatial-temporal perspective on resilience and the benefits of coordinated regional development.

RECOVERY OF ASSETS OF SANCTIONED PERSONS TO THE STATE REVENUE AS A SANCTION: LEGAL NATURE

The article investigates the legal nature of the sanction in the form of confiscation of the assets of the sanctioned persons into the state income, as an object of application by the High Anti-Corruption Court. It was established that the current legislation of Ukraine lacks a clear definition of the legal category of “sanctions”, as well as a conceptual justification of its legal nature and a unified approach to its understanding, which necessitates the need, first of all, for their scientific development, which is extremely important in the conditions of the legal regime of military state. It has been established that in scientific legal literature, the legal category “sanction” is studied mainly through the prism of the theory of the structure of legal norms and legal responsibility, as well as certain aspects of its implementation, which is characterized by controversy regarding the compliance with the principle of legal certainty, given the application of one legal category for institutions of law that are different in their legal nature. The expediency of considering the legal nature of sanctions, which is the subject of this study, through the prism of the state sanctions policy, and defining them as national sanctions, with the aim of distinguishing their features and separating them from the legal institution of sanctions developed by the theory and practice of international law, is substantiated. The author’s definition of the legal category “national sanctions” is proposed. The peculiarities of the legal nature of the sanction in the form of confiscation of the assets of the sanctioned persons into the state income, as an object of application by the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court, which is proposed to be defined as a type of national sanctions, applied in a legal action based on a court decision during the period of the legal regime of martial law, are highlighted, and in the cases specified by law, and after its termination or cancellation, to individuals and legal entities whose actions have created a significant threat to the national security, sovereignty or territorial integrity of Ukraine (including through armed aggression or terrorist activity) or contributed to a significant extent (including through financing) the commission of such actions by other persons, including residents within the meaning of the Law of Ukraine “On the Basic Principles of Forcible Expropriation in Ukraine of Objects of Property Rights of the Russian Federation and its Residents” (sanctioned persons), after imposing sanctions on them in the form of freezing of assets in the manner specified by the Law, with the aim of compensation for damages and restoration of violated rights and freedoms, legitimate interests of a person and citizen, society and the state.

PERSPECTIVES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENCE IN THE SOCIETY

The world has never been so open to scientific research and technological development as it is today, nor has human competence evolved so rapidly in directions not previously appreciated. The pace of discoveries is faster, although there are scientific fields in which goals are achieved more slowly and with considerable collective effort. However, we find that the successes achieved in the field of science have had an enormous impact on people's mentality and as a consequence have formed the belief that reflects science as a dominant factor in contemporary society. A philosophical reflection on the process of scientific development reveals that for a long time, the physical sciences have been dominant, and in recent years we are witnessing a fulminating development of biology (genetics), which has not only economic implications but also the ethical implications of a major importance. At the same time, the contemporary society of information and knowledge attests to obvious factors of a unique phenomenon called integrative science. It is projected at the integrative frontier of the astrophysics field that combines the processes of the universe constitution as a quantum system (processes that go beyond the theory of quantum mechanics, but also the theory of super lathes) and the processes of life, mind and consciousness. Integrative science proposes a new understanding of reality, even the one considered today purely structural. We hope that integrative science theories will reflect the reality that includes Consciousness as a fundamental factor of Existence.

Decoding Ultramarathon: Muscle Damage as the Main Impediment to Performance.

The biological determinants of performance have been well described for running races up to and including the marathon (42.2km). Ultramarathon is more complex. Events range from 50 to 5000km in single or multiple stages, are contested in various environments and terrains, and force athletes to contend with diverse performance-limiting issues such as fueling, hydrating, gastrointestinal distress, muscle damage, and sleep deprivation. Ultramarathons are not simply "long marathons." Nevertheless, scientific developments over the past decade have inched us toward a more complete picture of the psychophysiological factors underpinning performance. In this Current Opinion, we argue that muscle damage and associated fatigue is the main impediment to performance in long ultramarathons; more performance-limiting than aerobic capacity, running economy, or gastrointestinal distress. To assess an athlete's tolerance to ultramarathon-specific muscle damage and fatigue, we propose a lab-based protocol comprising downhill running with pre- to post-exercise measures of muscle contractile function following electrical or magnetic stimulation of the quadriceps muscles or their central nerves, muscle damage biomarkers (e.g., creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and myoglobin), and muscle morphology via imaging techniques. We close by offering training and racing advice on mitigating the deleterious effects of muscle damage. The twofold aims of this paper are (i) to enable athletes and their teams to better prepare for races and (ii) to help medical personnel identify the physiological milieu most likely to afflict the ultrarunner.

Investigation of the Transition to Environmental Remote Sensing and Factors Influencing Effective Decision-Making on Soil Preparation and Sowing Timing: A Case Study

The advancement of smart metering technology is progressing steadily and inevitably across various key economic sectors. The utilizatio.n of remote sensors in agriculture presents unique characteristics and specific challenges. In this study, an on-site experiment was carried out on a Slovakian production farm to analyze the transition from traditional measurement methods to smart meters, focusing on timing decisions related to soil preparation and sowing and their relation to scientifically justified dates. Consequently, a clear distinction was observed in terms of the timing decisions made regarding agricultural activities during traditional, combined, and scientifically based approaches in meteorological data readings. This study contrasts these three scenarios and deliberates on the factors that need to be carefully evaluated before incorporating remote sensors into agricultural processes. This study serves as a valuable resource for individuals involved in the adoption of smart metering practices in the Eastern European agricultural sector and promotes an improved understanding of the interactions within smart-sensing, scientific developments, and land management that contribute to the goal of land-system sustainability.

A natural language processing approach to detect inconsistencies in death investigation notes attributing suicide circumstances

BackgroundData accuracy is essential for scientific research and policy development. The National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) data is widely used for discovering the patterns and causing factors of death. Recent studies suggested the annotation inconsistencies within the NVDRS and the potential impact on erroneous suicide-circumstance attributions.MethodsWe present an empirical Natural Language Processing (NLP) approach to detect annotation inconsistencies and adopt a cross-validation-like paradigm to identify possible label errors. We analyzed 267,804 suicide death incidents between 2003 and 2020 from the NVDRS. We measured annotation inconsistency by the degree of changes in the F-1 score.ResultsOur results show that incorporating the target state’s data into training the suicide-circumstance classifier brings an increase of 5.4% to the F-1 score on the target state’s test set and a decrease of 1.1% on other states’ test set.ConclusionsTo conclude, we present an NLP framework to detect the annotation inconsistencies, show the effectiveness of identifying and rectifying possible label errors, and eventually propose an improvement solution to improve the coding consistency of human annotators.

Developmental characteristics of vertical natural fracture in low-permeability oil sandstones and its influence on hydraulic fracture propagation

Vertical natural fractures (NFs) are prevalent in low-permeability sandstone reservoirs. Presently, the impact of NFs on the extension of hydraulic fractures (HFs) remains partially unveiled, which restricts the scientific development of strategies for low-permeability, fractured oil sandstones. In this study, taking the oil sandstone of the He-3 Member, Hetaoyuan Formation, southeastern Biyang Depression as an example, we conducted a comprehensive investigation into the factors influencing vertical fracture development and the interaction between natural and hydraulic fractures. The cohesive unit simulations indicate that geostress is the principal factor influencing HF expansion, more so than NFs, with this influence intensifying as natural fracture density increases. As natural fracture density grows, the potential for two sets of conjugate natural fractures to form short HFs arises, which are limited in expansion scope, suggesting a need to reduce well spacing accordingly. Conversely, areas with a single set of NFs are more prone to developing longer HFs, warranting an increase in well spacing to avoid water channeling. High natural fracture densities may constrain the effectiveness of HFs. In fractured reservoirs with a 10 MPa horizontal stress difference, the length of HFs is 1.52 times that of HFs with 0 MPa and 5 MPa differences. However, the hydraulic fracture effectiveness index (FE) of the latter is 1.74 times higher than the former. For fractured reservoirs, the expansion capacity of HF length within a 5 MPa horizontal stress difference remains relatively stable; beyond this threshold, the expansion capacity increases with the growing horizontal stress difference, and the fracturing effect eventually deteriorates. Furthermore, as the strength of NFs escalates, the length and modified area of HFs initially decrease significantly before stabilizing. The complexity and FE value of HFs formed under strong natural fracture conditions are heightened, indicating a more effective fracturing outcome.

Scientific Traditions as a Mechanism of Continuity of Psychological Cognition. Part 2. Problems, Approaches and Prospects for Research

The authors’ main attention is focused on current problems of studying continuity and scientific traditions in psychology. Special attention is paid to the characteristics of promising directions for studying the traditions of domestic psychological science: taking into account when studying the traditions of scientific developments on the generation of knowledge, primarily tacit; analysis of the role of individual personal variables, including ideological guidelines, cognitive attitudes, life values, features of the professional development of the researcher himself in the process of selection of knowledge acquiring the status of tradition; study of traditions as the foundations and distinctive features of scientific schools in psychology. A model for studying scientific traditions in psychology is proposed, based on ideas about three aspects of the existence of science (knowledge, social institution, cognitive activity) and different views on the understanding of the term “tradition” (according to E. Shatsky) — functional, objective and subjective. It is concluded that the preservation and development of scientific traditions is the responsibility of not only the scientific community as a whole, but also personally of each researcher involved in scientific creativity in the field of psychology.

Relevance. In light of the growing interest in the scientific and technological development of regions, setting goals for scientific and technological advancement at the national level, the issue of developing programs for the development of science and education leading to the technological sovereignty of the country becomes relevant.The purpose is to analyze the ongoing programs for scientific and technological development of the regions of the Volga Federal District, as well as individual indicators characterizing the dynamics of the scientific and educational sector of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.Objectives: conduct an economic and statistical analysis of the main indicators characterizing the scientific and technological progress of the regions of the Volga Federal District; identify regions of the Volga Federal District in which state programs for scientific and technological development have been developed, and consider their features.Methodology. The study used methods of economic-statistical and comparative analysis.Results. A review of state programs for scientific and technological development shows that four pilot regions of the Volga Federal District (Nizhny Novgorod region, Republic of Tatarstan, Republic of Bashkortostan and Republic of Mordovia) have already developed corresponding programs, and two regions (Orenburg region and Perm Territory) are under development. The remaining regions either have state programs that indirectly indicate the development of scientific and technological potential, or they do not exist.Conclusions. Scientific and technological development programs represent an important document that defines strategic guidelines for the development of science, technology and higher education. Regions that have already developed state programs for scientific and technological development have a high scientific reserve and are located in the top positions in the National Rating of Scientific and Technological Development of Regions. Such regions show strong results in the scientific and educational sector, which contributes to improving the economic and social development of the region. A systematic analysis of these programs makes it possible to identify their impact on various aspects of social life, as well as determine the effectiveness of the measures taken and mechanisms for achieving the set goals. It is important to take into account the variety of approaches to the development and implementation of strategic programs, which should be aimed at the unique characteristics of the country’s regions, their bottlenecks and development prospects, taking into account an assessment of their potential.
